SOCIAL SAYINGS AND DOINGS


several times recently concerning the nee
essity of guarding Mrs Cleveland and babies,
Ruth and Esther, at Gray Gables. There is
great apprehension in the minds Of Mrs.
Cleveland's friends and the public in general,
that some harm will come to the family while
at Gray Gables, and it has been said that two
government detectives are detailed at the
Presidents summer home to see that no one
approaches the place who acts in a suspicious
manner. Report said that one is detailed to
accompany the children on their outings from
the house and the other 10 render assistance
to his colleagues. Some time ago, when
Coxey's army first came to Washington. de-
tective was detailed by order of President
Cleveland 10 guard Gray Gables, and after a
short time he WAS detached from guard. Mrs.
Cleveland has repeatedly denied that Secret
Service men are employed. The report that
the freedom OF the family is in anyway cur
tailed by the fear that the children will be
kidnapped, is denied here by reliable authori-
ties. and these repeated misstatements are
said 10 be extremely annoying to the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland.
