The President and Mrs. Cleveland re-
manned indoors yesterday at Gray Gables.
Mr.. Cleveland lolled about on the piazxas,
smoked strong cigars and read the Boston
morning newspapers. Not a visitor had
called up to 9 o'clock in the evening. When
the New York newspapers arrived at that
hour a copy Of one was sent to Gray Gables
by the Presidents order. Dr. O'Reilly re-
turned in the afternoon
The President has done nothing with the
tariff bill since he arrived, except to do q
deal of thinking on 1t. He did not bring the
bill with him. The President may return to
Washington on Tuesday: he will surely go
not later than Wednesday afternoon, says
the World correspondent.
The President intends to return to WASH
ington and complete the business OF the
end Of the session, and then hasten back to
October, perhaps until the latter part The
additions to the mansion provide for heat
ing the rooms. Mr.. Cleveland expects to do
q deal Of fishing in the autumn.
The World correspondent says: There has
been more or less discussion at Washington
of the reports that secret service men have
been located at Gray Gables to guard the
occupants. Inquiry at the White House has
called forth positive denials. Nevertheless
there are three of these detectives located
at Gray Gables.

always on guard at Gray Gables somewhere
on the grounds. The stranger who walks
over to the Presidents estate will be &C
costed by a secret service man before he
can get near the house. While threading
the path through the pine and oak forest
that comprises the presidential deer park, q
figure may suddenly appear before him from
behind a tree or a bush, and a demand to
know who he is and the nature Of his busi-
ness will be made in civil, but in q strictly
official manner.

guard tent. The last test resulted in foolfng
almost the whole crowd. Capt. Horton
feigned o fit SO successfully that, although
the game had not been called, the officer Of
the day allowed the party to take the cap

Of into the hospital tent, where he should
have been taken, as 1t might have been a
ruse of spy to obtain some papers In the
officers tent.
The countersign for both evenings was
"Fava," in compliment to the colonel. The
sentinels were supplied with blank pistol
cartridges. One of the guard, in pacing
his beat, approached very near the beat OF
another, and refused to halt when chal.
promptly fred upon him. which brought
about a reconciliation. Another incident
was the attempt of First Sergt Chandler
to take three friends through the lines
without the countersign. The officer Of the
guard finally allowed them to pass, but one
of the ladies was very much frightened.
She said she did not like play SO much in
earnest.

was somewhat indisposed today. He is
progressing all right, however. The boys
were glad to sec Private Colt out again to-
day. though he is not well enough to re-
sumo his camp duties. tx "a Ter hard on
him to be sick during most of the camp.
The drill in guard duty, which was SO well
begun last night. was continued again to-
night. Corp. Steward, in charge Of the
first relief, posted his men, and then Corp.
Stevens went around and relieved them
with his guards. The first test was as to
advancing by seniority. So the officer of
the guard, the commander Of the post,
Capt. Horton, who is senior in rank to the
captain commanding. and Prof. Fava, all
broke over the board wal4 at once. So
many rather confused the guard. and he
could not stop them all. and Col. Fava
walked into one of the yempty tents and
borrowed a mirror and some other article.
The guard made mistakes in the advancing,
which should have been this way. The

senior, then the officer of the guard, then
the senior officer and Col Fava, who had
announced himself as friend, last.
Guard Duty Tests.
The second test was to see whether the
corporal Of the guard would deliver, on a
verbal order, a letter in Capt. Averilps
tent to a man who had the countersign.
and stated the contents and address Of the
letter. The corporal made the mistake of
turning over the letter. The third test was
to see whether the sentinel would leave his
beat to assist an officer with the counter
sign who stated he had brought a wounded
man from a battle, and the man might die
before the corporal of the guard could
reach the post. The sentinel rightly in
sisted upon calling for the corporal Of the
guard, who might have gone to the assist
ance of the wounded man, but he called for
the officer of the day, and the latter Or
dered a litter brought.
The fourth sentinel was tested with a
pass in the hands Of an enlisted man, which
was forged, and. moreover, not in the re-
Quired form. The guard was on the alert,

Mr.. Henry's Speech Saturday.

Our talented townsman and able
campaigner Hon. w. r. Henry, spoke
in the court house here Saturday after
noon, Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the Democratic county con-
vention. He was at & disadvantage in
that he had just arrived from Warren
ton where he spoke the night before
and had not been to dinner; the
audience to whom he was to speak had
been in the court house several hours,
and they too had missed their monday
meal Many of them lived at dis
lance and as was natural all could not
stay to the conclusion of the speech.
But those who did remain were well
repaid Mr.. Henry made a fine speech
although he could not under the sur
rOundings and circumstances deliver
the address he usually does on such
occasions. He had time only to touch
briefly upon some matters Of leading
interest and importance, but went into
details sufficiently to show the wisdom
and justice of supporting the Demo-
cratic party and maintaining Demo
cratic principles and policies. 1t was
a fine effort and Mr.. Henry was warmly
congratulated by his friends at the con-
clusion of his speech.

THE SHOW is COMING.
Bob Hunting's Circus, Museum
and Managerie to Exhibit in
Henderson Saturday, Oct. 9th.

Hunting's circus is billed to show in
Henderson Saturday of next week. 1t
is spoken of in high terms wherever it
has been as a good show-one Of the
best travelling. Two of its star per-
formers are citizens of Henderson,
Mr. and Mrs. D. {. Loughlin, both
riders, whose work is unexcelled by
any one in the profession. Many of
Mr.. Loughlin's friends will no doubt
attend the show for the special purpose
of seeing him ride, who perhaps would
not 90 otherwise. The Courant, of
Hartford, Conn.,, says this of Hunting's
circus after recent performance in
that city:
Hunting's Circus, Museum and Menag-
erie were largely patrOnized and enthus-
asticaly received by two great audiences
which greeted them last Saturday. 1t
is superior to the average shows as the
cash in advance subscription list is to
the old time pay-when-y ou-get-ready
style eft is Jim Dandy and don't
you forget it," One ticket admits to all
these excellent shows: and either one
contains more of merit than some whole
shows of far greater pretentions. MIR.
Hunting has the 'cinch2 on the show
business and no mistake and we extend
cordial welcome whenever the notion
occurs to visit us again. The gentiemanly
courtesy of all connected with the entire
outfit is not one of its least commend
able features.

stvle of lectures or "replies'' of this
kind to the great agnOstic, and those
who heard it were charmed and de-
lighted. But the richest and rarest

Our only regret is that he did not have
larger audience for those who missed

He is a rhetorician, an orator. a

PUPS WITH FINE PEDIGREES.
Direct Descendants of Count Noble
and the Great Gladstone.

There was whelped at Whitby Stock
Farm some time age a litter OF Setter
puppies that have possibly as fancy a
pedigree as any pups ever bred IN this
State. The youngsters are by Rupert,
Mr.. Ad. .Dill's great dog, and the dam Is
Belle of Whitby, owned by Mr.. II. Clay
Chambljn.
Rupert is by Rodirego-Bo Peep, and a
full brother to the celebrated Antonio,
sold to the Blue Ridge Kennels for ~ 900,
and the pride of that noted home OF fine
hunters.
Belle of Whitby is by Noble Lit-Lady
Zoe. Noble Lit was by Count d., he by
the great Count Noble, dam by Champion
Gladstone Lady Zoe is a granddaughter
of the celebrated Champion Gladstone,
so it will be seen that these little hunters
are closely related to some of the most
noted dogs this country has ever pro-
duced.
4 great many people who are Interested
in and admire fine dogs have been down
to Whitby to see the youngsters, all OF
which have been disposed OF by the owner,
and will be taken from the farm just as
soon as they are old enOugh.-Richmond
Dispatch.
OF the above litter our young towns
man Mr.. n. 2. Strause bought and has
two, a male and female, named Monte
and Lady Del. Both are registered
and in due time he hopes will turn out
as noted hunters as their famous ances-
tors. Although having paid a good
price for them Mr.. Strause is very
proud of these puppies and they already
give promise of adding lustre to the
fame of the great family whence they
sprung.

Speaking Of James Young, the young
tragedian who is to appear at Burwell
Hall Saturday afternoon and night,
the Ereniny News, of Franklin, Pa,
says:
Mr.. young is one of the most youth
full actors who ever essayed the exact
inc role of Hamlet. lie is an actor of
remarkable force, correctness and
general ability. He has the requisite
grace, the princely manner, the fine,
classic face that enter into the ideal
picture Of the melancholy Dane. His
reading of the text is accurate and eX-
pressive he "suits the action to the
word" and his clear, pleasing voice
brings out the varied shades of ex-
preston in the immortal lines. The
forecast Of great future for Mr.. Y Dung
is justified by his present achievement.
