A SUMMER RETREAT.
Refuge Of the President, Mrs. Cleve-
land and Baby Ruth.

Recent Changes In Mr. C1eveIand's New
Homestead-A Fine Old Mansion-Its
Simplicity and Convenience-A Summer
Residence For the Next Four Years.
Especial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, May 18.-In one of the
prettiest sections of the picturesque Rock
creek region in the northwestern suburbs
of the Capital City is the new summer
home of the presidential family. MIR.
and Mrs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth have
just taken possession of it, and they ex-
pect to remain at their country seat I'M
til early autumn. The place is not quite
as far out as Coax View" the summer
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland during
their former sojourn at the capital, and
it is more convenient to the popular
driveways which extend from the city
through that section. The estate, which
Mr.. Cleveland has leased for period of
years, contains 43 acres and has long
been known as s.Woodley."
This house is a large, old fashioned
structure and was built nearly a CEN
fury ago. It has frontage of 100 feet,
the central portion being three stories
high and the two wings two stories each.
The walls are of brick, imported from
England in the days before it was sus-
pected that brick could be made out Of
the soil of Virginia or Maryland. The
foundations are Of heavy stone, and the
walls are thick and substantial. The
outside is covered with buff gray stucco,
and this in turn is overgrown in places
with clinging ivy. The architecture is
old fashioned, the big mansion resem-
bling somewhat an English rural villa
of the style of the last century. It con-
tains 90 rooms, all of them liberal in
size.
The ceilings are high and the windows
wide and reaching almost to the floor.
The biggest room is the main parlor,
which is on the ground floor. It has
been handsomely furnished, and it is
where Mrs. Cleveland will receive
her friends who may call this sum-
mer. Adjoining it is the music room,
another handsome apartment. It is
nearly as large as the big parlor, and a
grand piano occupies prominent place
in it's furnishings
An interesting history attaches to the
old mansion. The estate was originally
owned by Governor Platter of Maryland
He decided it to Uriah Forrest, one of his
sons-in-law, and in 1900 the latter sold it
to Philip Barton Key, another son-in-law
of the governor. Key built the house and
lived in it until his death. During his
residence there Francis Scott Key, the
author of ''The Star Spangled Banner"
spent considerable time on the place as
youth, and his name may still be seen
where he carved it in one of the window
panes in the front hall.

He Had a Trunk.
washington Post.7

The Virginians-not Thackeray's, but
democracy-have manifested much i'm
patience at the slowness with which pat
ronage has been doled out to them. As
a matter of course, also, in case where
many are called and few are chosen, the
number of the disappointed to the num-
Der of the joyful is as thousand to one,
1t may be said, however, that Virginia
has done quite well-much better, in
fact, than nine-tenths of the sister COM
monwealths. Anyhow" as an Office
seeker from California sadly remarked,
'swhat have they got to kick about? If
they go broke they at least can walk
home. A day or two tramping will take
them safely back. What is to become of
us fellows? We can stay in Washington
to drive street cars or wander out into a
flinty world to be put on the chain gang
of the first town we strike.'
"When came to Washington month
ago." said Virginian, II went to sa-
loon, and said to the boy behind the
counter, William, put this five dollar
bill under that lumber sitting over there.
That five dollar bill is there yet 1t will
stay there until get ready to leave. Ny
railroad transportation will cost me $420
and the porter who carries my trunk to
the station will expect half dollar, leav-
ing me little change in my pocket,
which any man who is a gentleman, sab,
should have always"
ooh. you've got trunk. have you?"
said the Westerner derisively. Bought
it since you came, I suppose; your in
dorsements got SO heavy you had to have
a place to- put them? No use for me to
talk TO your kind of people. Ii Cali
fornian started home with S4.2O he would
get out of sight of the monument

THE PRESIDENTS SUMMER HOME.

THE PRESIDENTS SUMMER HOME.
It is said that Washington at one time
visited the spot where Key afterward
built his house, and examining it re-
marked that the capitol ought to be To-
Gated there or else upon the hill where it
now stands. Van Buren,, Tyler, Buchan-
an and other Of the earlier presidents
were occasional visitors at this country
seat, and in 1S47 Baron Erault, then Ger
man minister to the United States, oc-
cupied it as a residence. 1t was at one
time selected by General Winfield Scott
as the site for the soldiers home, but
some misunderstandin with the owners
arose, and the home was located on its
present site in the northeastern part of
the city.
Robert ]. Walker, who was secretary
of the treasury shortly before the civil
war, purchased the place and made some
additions to the old mansion, but his
heirs sold it about 20 years ago to S. E.
Middleton. Then Baltimore man pur-
chased it, and recently it passed into the
possession Of Francis G.. Newlands, the
present owner, now o congressman elect
from Nevada. Mr.. Newlands is the
millionaire who bought Oak View of
Mr.. Cleveland four years ago, making
for the president net profit of 100000
on his original Investment of $4,000.
Mr.. Newlands has made extensive re-
pairs about the old mansion since Mr..
Cleveland leased it, and it is now as neat
and attractive as new house. The archi-
tectural design Of the house was not
changed in the least, but all the wood
work from cellar to roof was removed
and new timber identical in shape and
size substituted. Fresh paint was ap-
piled wherever it was needed, and the
old walls were cleaned and frescoed or
papered inside, and the stucco outside
was renewed. New plumbing was put
in and q system of steam heating intro
duced for use in the fall and winter If
the family should decide to remain until
the days get cool. Home comfort has
been observed in every detail, and the
arrangements have been made with a
view to simplicity and convenience.
A recent visitor to this country home
OF the president described it as "a place
suggestive of comfort, ease and quiet,
blessed with an abundance of pure, fresh
hir, cheered with the warblings of count
less singing birds, bathed here and there
in the unobstructed sunshine, and again
supplied with grateful shade from it's
wealth OF shrubbery and greenerv. In
deed,' he continued, sit would be diff
cult to imagine country seat more de-
lightful, whittier president can take
refuge from the hot city and enjoy rest
and relaxation from the cares Of state.
where the leading lady of the land can
find freedom and privacy from the try-
ing social exactions of her position. or
where young children can grow strong
and naerry IN healthful gambols over the
lawn or in frolics under the trees and
out in the sunny air." Amid such pleas
ant surroundings Mr.. and Mrs. Cleye.

summer home during the next four years.
