Mr.. Cleveland does not stay in the White
House in the summer months any mora
than he must. When congress is IN session
and he has to remain in Washington, he
lives at his private house, Woodley. Pos

who stuck to the White House 50 steadily

healthful surroundings and died not long
after the expiration Of his term Polk
Travelled so little during his term that
when it was over he determined to see
something of his country, and SO he re-

Buchanan and Bedford Springs.
President Buchanan used to visit Bed
ford Springs every summer, and sometimes
he went there when congress was in ses-

with which to attack his administration,
charging him with neglect of his public
duties. But this did not worry Mr.. Buch-
anRn any more than the attacks on ME.

Social life in Yueatan, according to the

the many gestures in general use, that

Everywhere he went he was received with
enthusiasm, and he returned to the tenn

fed with the results of his trip.
Two years later President Washington
made another tour, this time to the south.
The capital had been moved from New
York to Philadelphia, and from that city
he started in March of 1871 bound for Sa-
vannah. He stopped at his beloved Mount
Vernon on the way south and again on his
return, and at Mount Vernon he remained
until congress reaSsembled in October. On

at Gray Gables is day Office, and at night
there is no way of getting at the president
unless special train should be called into
service.
The completeness Of the presidents iso-
lation was illustrated last summer The
New York correspondent of a freakish
western paper got an idea some one was
stealing his news from special wire, so
he sent a dummy message saying the pres
ident was dead. The story in some way
got into the hands of press association as
a rumor, and every paper that heard it
started wild inquiry messages to Gray
Gables. The telegraph company, however,
said there was no way of reaching Gray
Gables before morning, and so several
hundred papers went 70 press uncertain
whether the president was alive or dead.

the Gray Gables operator opened his Office

Eighty-six years later President Ruther-
ford B. Hayes made q tour of the southern
states. Like Washington's journey into
New England, it was made for the Pur-
pose of subduing a sectional .feehng-one
which had been aroused by the events OF
the election of 1876. From Washington in
September of 1877 Mr. Hayes and his fam
lily went to their old home in Fremont,
where they spent a week. Then they went
to Cincinnati, and thence to Louisville,

NO NEED FOR SEA-SICKNESS.
A Physician Tells How the Ailment
rIay be Prevented.

A great number of people who can
never cross the ocean without being
pros Strated by sea-SickneSS have come
TO look upon every reported cure for
that distressing malady as a delusion
and a snare. Whether the latest remedy,
or rather prev entive is more efficaciOuS
than the rest remains to be proved. DR..
"A. ID. Rockwell says it is. He asserts
that the reason so little attention has
Been paid to sea-sicknesS, especially by
those not subject to it, is that there was
fallaciouS idea that to be SeaSick did
a person good, that it cleared out the
system, and, therefore, nature should
be allowed to take its course. DR.. Rock
well holds that there is neither advant-
age in nor need Of the ailment. 1t must
be prevented, and the battle of preven-
tlon must be fought on land before sail
ing. For three days before the voyage
| doses Of bromide of sodium must be
taken-in preference to bromide Of po-
tassiunl-and this course must be con-
tinued for three or four days after sail
ing. One pleasant effect of this bromi-
zation is the sound and refreshing ma
ture of the sleep it induces. The dose
| recommended by DR.. Rockwell is thirty
grains of bromide of sodium three times
day for three days before the voyage
and for three or four days after start
ing. He has invariably found this
treatment an absolute preventive, and
| has crossed the British Channel on a
very rough voyage without the slight
est discomfort from the motion of the
| ship. In a paper on this subject be-
| fore medical society DR.. Rockwell tells
of man who was in the habit of cross
ing the ocean two or three times a year
on business, and who dreaded the re-
curing trips on account of sea-sick-
ness. After he had tried the bromide
treatment he wrote to say that for the
first time in his experience he had
crossed without discomfort. DR.. Rock
well states that he has never found any
evil effects from the use of the bro
mide of sodium taken for the prevention
of sea-sickneSs.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

The Republicans Fail to Grasp the Situa.
ti0n
ing at Chicago-Another Democratic
Convention to Be Called
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, July 23.-Mr. William c..
Whitney was asked today if, in his
judgment. there would be third ticket
nominated by the gold standati Demo-
Gratis. He replied:
Il think events and the course of the
Republican leaders are making it un-
avoidable. The general situation is far
worse today, in my opinion. than it was
ten days ago.
THE Republican managers and cam
didates have shown no realizing sense
of the situation. They have failed to
avail themselves of great opportunity
for benefiting the country. If the pres
ent condition of affairs continues for any
length of time, sound money Democrats
are bound to organize, and it cannt be
prevented. Their minds are made up.
and they are quite as little inclined to
reason upon the subject as were the
delegates whom they sent to Chicago"
Mr.. Whitney asserted that the Re
publcans should have sunk their parti-
senship and made every effort to bring
the gold standard forces together in a
non-partisan union. But instIad of
doing this. he says, the Republicans
were continuing to draw strict party
lines, Mr.. Mckinley continues to dis
cuss the tariff. which has ceased TO be
an actual issue in this campaign, and
the Republican press and leaders per-
sist in deriding all Democrats en- masse.
