Washington, Nov. 24-Mrs. Cleveland
is studying French. She is taking three
lessons a week OF an hours duration
! each. Her professor, who Is one Of the
well known teachers of the capital. says
his distinguished pupil shows an unu-
sual aptitude for the French speech and
has already acquared considerable
knowledge of the language.
Mrs. Cieyeland's course in endeavoring
| 10 acqua;nt herself with the Language
which IS mos, spoken on the European
| continent may be good clew to the in
| teEtions Of the president after his term
! has expired. 1t would seem to strongly
I indicate that the president has in mind
| a foreign tour. Mr.. Cleveland has never
/ been abroad and the complete change OF
! scene would no doubt be both pleasant
ard beneficial to him after he has laid
! down the cares of his high Office. There
| is TO doubt that he would be great at
/ traction abroad, his action on the Vene-
| zuelan question having attracted great
! er attention TO him than Europe gener-
! ally gives to president OF the United
States.
There has been much conjecture as to
what Mr.. Cleveland would do after the
4th Of March. Some time ago a story
was started that Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Oh
ney and Mr. Carlisle would open a law
office in New York. but this story was
| denied by Mr. Carlisle. While it Is not
improbable that Mr. Cleveland will open
law office in New York on his return
from his European tour. if he decides to
swing around the old world circle, he has
not thus far eonfided his intention of So
doing to anybody. Unless 1t should be
his disposition to again enter into active
life as citizen. there is no necessity for
r. Iii <Av = t.
rich man. His fortune is estimated at
$685., 900. He has had s400.0 salary as
president, but probably not more than
one-third OF his present wealth is saw
ing from his remuneration for serving
the American people as chief executive.
The rest he made in his law practice dur
ing the four years interim between his
terms as president and in real estate
transactions in Washington, in which
he was remarkably fortunate.
Some interest attaches also to the fu-
ture Of the members of President Cieve-
lands cabret
Secretary Olney will go back to Boston
to resume the practice Of law. The sec
rotary Of state is known to cherish the
hope that when the Democratic party
sees the error Of it's recent ways 1t may
discover in the man who gave the Brit
ism lions tail the most vigorous wrench
il has ever received. an excellent candi-
date for the presidency.
Secretary Carlisle has already an
nounced his intention to resume his prac-
tice of law for the purpose Of making
the money which he needs.
Secretary Wilson will, it is believed,
be given a judicial appointment by the
president if he finds an available place
for him before the 4th Of March. There
is talk of Judge Cox resigning from the
District of Columbia supreme bench. and
if he does Mr.. Wilson will very likely get
that vacancy. Both Secretary Herbert
and Secretary Wilson are comparatively
poor men.
Secretary Lamont win return to New
York, where he has business interests.
He expects at the next election to be a
candidate for governor, of the state.
Secretary Francis will return to st.
Louis where his business interests are
large.
Attorney General Harmon will again
take up the practice Of law in Cincin-
natl, where he was, previous to his ap-
pcin ;ment to the cabinet, member or
one of the most noted and most success
full law firms in Ohio. i
Nothing is known of1the future inten-
tons Of Secretary Morton.
