HANGING TO A WHITE HOUSE GATE.
A Stuffed Figure Found with AN In

Washington Post.

washington POST.
II President Cleveland had gotten home
early yesterday morning. as he was at first
expected to do. he would have had the
most remarkable reception accorded the
chief executive for some time. 1T was moth
ing less than an effigy posted at the front
gate of the White House, a sort of n com
promise between a Guy Hawkes. etigy and
a st. Patrick's day Paddy, lolling against
one of the big shade trees. How or whence
1t came no one knew, but the Old gardener,
Jim Che hasn't any other name), found IL
there when he came on duty at S o'clock.
1t was a regular Frankenstein monster
with the machinery run down, and had been
furnishing amusement and speculation for
passers-by for a couple of hours before it
was found.
1t was a portly figure stuffed with straw.
and would have weighed in flesh over two
hundred pounds. A black cloth Jacket was
buttoned tightly over its bullying abdo-
men. and. a disreputable SLOUGH hat wal
pulled down over one eye of the false face
that made the front of its head. A tall
paper collar surrounded the neck, and on IL
was iet t. E ed IN black, .ai IT, dc gom y
braced wide apart with a -o'clock-in-the-
morning kink in the knees, and IL looked
much as though it might be intended for
hanging in effigy: But IL this was SO the
marauders were frightened off before they
had a chance to finish their job.
When Jim spied the 'leery' figure he
cautiously sized 1t up, and then, finding
that it was not really a stranded Prohibi-
zionist, he grabbed IL around the middle and
wrestled it up the walk toward the executive
mansion. Policeman Fields, who was on out
side duty at the time, came speeding down
the walk when he saw the anarchistic-
looking prisoner apparently mixing it up
with the laborer. But when he found that
the effigy was really not resisting arrest
he lent a hand, and, taking 1t by the heels,
while Jim carried the head, the ownerless
efigy was carried back and dumped on the
ash heap back of the ~greenhouse until one
There it is now reposing, unless some sym
pathizer of the Third party has either made
