CABINET FAOS.
Presidents Council Talking About
Taking a Summers Outing.


| WASHINGTON, July e,--T made the
rounds Of the departments the other day
and found that the cabinet - whole ex.
pect to be here till the latter part Of July,
but that they are talking . little about
summer vacations As Mr. Cleveland
wishes to he near Mrs Cleveland during
the summer, nearly every member Of the
cabinet, first and last. will nnd his way to
Buxxarsi's Bay or its vicinity fos at least a
few days TO talk about public ansin. Al!
the cabinet members also expect some time
In summer or early autumn to hnd their
| way to Chicago and learn Of their own
| great country and the world outside from
| that great object lesson Of mans univer-
salty and natures variety.
| President Cleveland's cabinet IL pretty
cosmopolitan sort Of council boarl In the
| matter Of fsvorite modes Of passing idle
summer hours. Some have their fads, and
ZONE, like the little dog In one Of Mother
Huhhari's rhymes, have none.
Their tastes are as various as New Eng
land weather. Two members are devoted
fishermen: at least two others hardly know
what real good vacation is: one member
has had a vacation most all his life, rarely
hobbies, which have been useful ones; and
solitaire. with his thoughts on other and
weightier matters. Is the favorite recreation
Of yet another member.
President Cleveland and his secretary Of
state are the fishermen per ~ Of the oahi'
net. Each likes to spend his vacation away
from the madding crowd with rod In his
hand and old clothes on his back. Judge
ean fah ST.
hold up his end with party Of jovial spir-
its on wet day. The president is more
stoid. He takes fair and foul weather
grimly with an occasional scntentious and
sarcastic objureation ON the latter that has
biting humor in it. Judge Gresham is
the handsomer OF the twain In fishing COS
tune To speSA the truth, the president is
not nice looking man In fishing togs and
has the appearance Of u tough customer
whose line an amateur would not want to
befoul.
Mr.. Cleveland expects TO put In nearly six
weeks with Mrs. Cleveland at Buzzard's
Bay. There he will do some sailing and
fishing, map out his annual message to con
gress and talk over matters with mem
bers of the cabinet, and also with some
iinanciers and public men who will find IL
convenient to he within or near the presi'
Dental roof tree.
The secretary Of state has farm in Ben
ton county, Ind, on which he will spend a
week or two as plain Hoosier citizen in
terested in the crops. Here he will gather
little rest and receive his neighbors In the
democratic style in which everybody walks
in ON him here in his wide open office lie
expects also to 20 to Thompson, Conn,
where some Chicago friends have formed
cottage colony and where the fishing IL
handy and the distance TO Mr.. ClevelaBd's =
not great. Aside from fishing Mr.. Cleye-
land has no marked outdoor fad
1t is recorded that Mr.. Carlisle once on a
visit to Buzzards Bay went fishing for a
half day with Mr. Cleveland II he has ever
iisLed at any other time, it is something Of
which his grown son and confidant, Logan
Carlisle, is ignorant. 1t does not take much
to satisfy the vacation desires Of Mr.. Car
isle. Any cool, fairly comfortable place.
with few books and a pack Of cards, will
do. He is fond Of solitaire, and when he
has nothing more active to do will sit and
play the lone hand for hours. Apparently
the reason why he likes il is that he can
play solitaire and think OF other things too.
Nearly all the while he is laying out the
cards his thoughts will be elsewhere.
Secretary Herbert has pretty daughter.
and both of them are favorably inclined to
ward the frils and furbelows Of naval life
He will cruise on the Dolphin in New Eng
land waters during the last Of summer.
The north Atlantic squadron, as usual,
will be about Bar Harbor at that time.
Colonel Dan Lamont had to wait too long
and worked too hard 10 get where he is 10

awaiting his welding. Mrs. Lamont aill
take possession of Blueherry Lodge at Sor'
rento. Me, and have comfort awaiting her
husband whenever he can join her.
Secretary Smith is another hard worker,
who put in many hard licks TO get where
he is at 81 A trip north last autumn was
an unusually long vacation for him, and
this year he will peg away steadily. His
wife and three youngsters are at Salzhurg,
Va. and the secretary vii. visit them over
Sunday occasionally. Ha likes vigorous
life, the seashore and horseback riding, bu,

Postmaster General Bisscll is getting too
heavy for active moving about and will
tell stories and relieve his mind from prst

Secretary Morton has usually been like a
colt in paddock, free to ftisk about at Ar
