HE PRES ENT's GREETING.
Not Sign of Recognition by Those at tho
 Depot.

Depot.
 When the train bearing President Cleveland arrived in this city at 2:S5 yesterday afternoon @ chilly wind was blowing In from the sound. Three news- paper men. half-dozen townspeople and couple of dozen of students were present to greet him. The president oc- cupled a special car attached to the reg ular Shore Line train. As the train pull ed in Mir. Cleveland and family were just finishing lunch, and the fragments of the choice viands indicated that they had regaled themselves sumptuously. When the newspaper man looked at MT. Clevelands portly frame and the havoc wrought with the victuals on the table they concluded that 1t was a most opportune time to approach him for talk. But in this they were mistaken, for E. J. Allen, superintendent of the Old Colony system, was in charge of the car and positively refused the reporters admittance. He said that the presi- dent did not desire to talk for publica- tion, as he hadn't anything to say.
 Meanwhile a number of passengers alighted from the forward cars and helped to swell the gathering crowd to about fifty people.
 Mrs. Cleveland sat on the side of the car next to the depot, and the crowd stared at her in such blank amazement that 1t actually became embarrassing for her, and she walked to the other side of the car The silence was so oppres- for those in the crowd and not one of fered to show any sign of recognition. It was really rude treatment for the wife of the president.
 After Mrs. Cleveland had left the win dow Baby Ruth, the presidents eldest daughter, began to climb up. and MT. Cleveland took her and held her up be- for the crowd. Even this pretty incl dent, with the baby's innocent and mark of applause.
 MT. Cleveland then looked kindly up- on the people who, failing to even for get the man and respect the office, did not reciprocate with any demonstration whatever. The president looked wor- ried and withdrew to the other side of the car.
 The greeting, without regard to the political affiliations of those present, was decidedly disrespectful to the pres- ident of the United States.
 Mrs. Cleveland was dressed in a light gray travelling costume, and appeared to be in excellent health. On going to the opposite side of the car she took up her youngest baby, little Esther, and fondled it with much motherly devo- ton.
 The president appeared to be in TO- bust health. but his expression was ment is said to be writer's cramp, a condition that greatly worries Senator Hill of New York.
