HIS NEW HOME.
Cleveland to Live in Princeton After
Leaving the White House.

President Cleveland has purchased
for about $4,000 the residence Of Mrs
W. J. Shdell on Bayard avenue in
Princeton, n. j., and will make Prince
ton his permanent home after the ex-
piration of his term as president, The
presidents father was educated for the
Presbyterian ministry there. The
quiet and Independent home life Of the
place, it's healthfulness. its convenience
to New York, and the attractions Of
university society, have been infuen-
tial in turning Mr. Cleveland to Prince
ton in his choice of home.
The house is located on one of the
most beautiful avenues of the beautiful
academic village. 1t stands in a cluster
of pines, and is surrounded by two or
three acres of velvety lawn. The Sill
dell house is situated upon an emin-
ence less than five minutes walk from
the railroad station and the college
campus. The site is healthful and
was approved before it's purchase by
Excellent views are to be had in all
directions. To the north are the links
of the Princeton Golf Club stretching
away to the Rocky Hill ridge, five
miles distant. To the south lies the
town, with its clustering trees and
pretty homes, and here and there

NEW SHAPES IN FURS
The Latest Ideas in Jackets and Finest
Persian Lamb.

When in the shape of Jackets the
new furS are mainly without trimming
though some will be ornamented with
a contrasting skin and a few will
show vests of white kid. An import I'd
rIodel in sealskin, which, by the way.
is again in fashionable favor, had wide
reVers, collar, and pointed cuffs of the
brown kid beautifully perforated and
embroidered. Two or three jeweIed
buttons, fastening a loose double
breasted sacque or holding a close one
at the waist over vest, will appear on.
other imported models Then If there
is a brown or white kid vest there
may be a little talbot at the throat,
though for the most part the fur
jackets are designed toward an eye for
real usefulness more than fol de rol
effects.
Sealskin is most frequently used
alone, but many of the jackets in Per-
sian lamb and broadtail will have
handsome vests, and perhaps other
trimmings of ermine
A coat with an ermine vest is OF
silken Persian, which is that beautiful
waved skim of the very young animal.
Molre antique, or Watored silk, is
said to have been copied from this rare
and expensive skin, and which is one
of the most expensive of the Persian
lamb family. BrCadtail is taken from
the still younger animal, and though
delightful to wear and look at, Is as
expensive as perishable.
In design the newest OF the FUR
Jackets are fitted at the back and half
loose at the front, with vest. The
sleeves are small gigots, and instead
of the rippled effect of the tail, the
fullness at the back is generally dis
tributed in two inturning PLANTS. One
handsome Persian jacket seen at
smart place had scarcely any flu lneSs
in the basque, a slight flare at the hips
and back giving the required ease at
these points. AT the furrier's it was
learned that this method of cutting
was approved by the swell set. In
other words, to have much fullness at
the back of your coat was to tell the
world that you had bought il at a
cheap place and were not up to snun
and fur etiquette. SO subtle and
damning are ways of fashion!
Many of the cloth Jackets are fur
trimmed, and among the imported
novelties there are sClne ravishng
combinations in fur and velvet.

No Army Increase
In reviewing the war department,
the president does not recommend an
increased army, as he says the Or
ganized militia numbers 1889 men
and costs $3,2OO,OOO annually, which
should suffice. He believes both the
regular army and militia should have
more money for equipments.
Regarding the navy, the president
commends the expenditure of money
for coast defenses, declares his belief
in the ability of the government to
build its own vessels and equipments,
is opposed to paying any further speed
premiums and recommends a plan for
laying UP ships in reserve so as to re-
duce the cost of maintaining our yes
sells afioat. Eight new cruisers and
two gunboats have been commissioned
and tine chief executive says American
ships are equal to any afoat.
The president thinks federal Of
tenders should be confined in the gov
prisons. The postoffice de- |!
partment, he says, Is in - 4
ton with a deficit Of $4,000, 900 owing
to a reduction of postal duties and an
increase without propc rtionate revenue
of the low class mail matter. The
total Indian population is III ,235.
The president believes the Indians
show improvement under government
and recommends they be
looked after by a commission, one Of
whom shall be an army officer.
