M'KINLEY'S VACATION.
To Take a Month at Lake Sunapee,
the Home of Col John Hay.

Newport, N. H, April 9.-Lake Suna-
pee will entertain distinguished visitors
this summer 1t is stated on good
authority that President Mckinley and
his wife will be the guests of Colonel
John Hay for a month at the Iatter's
summer home, on the shores of Suna-
pee.
Colonel Hay is building an extensive
addition to his beautiful residence,
THE Fells,' in anticipation of the
presidents visit. He is also having
constructed a new private landing ad-
Jacent to the NeWbury station, where
his launch will be anchored to await
the arrival of the chief executive.
Colonel Hays launch is well worth a
description. 1t is a naphtha launch,
and will accommodate about 90 per-
sons. The colonel came into possession
of it las fall. The launch is very ele-
are of the finest It cost S.. Co.,
The Fells,'' Colonel Hays summer
home, is one of the finest estates on the
shores of the lake, occupying an ideal
location. The estate is situated in the
town OF Newbury, and is reached from
the lake by means of a private landing
which Colonel Hay has had erected.
The grounds are very extensive They
embrace about a mile of shore line
which Is thickly wooded with white
birch and pine. They run back from
the lake for a distance of several miles.
A short strip of beach gives fine facili-
ties for bathing. Colonel Hays resi-
dence sets back from the shore on an
elevation about One-third of a mile, it
being approached by a beautiful drive
way. The drive brings one out on the
brow of hill from which a most mar
velous view is to be obtained
The president will be able to enjoy a
complete view of Lake Sunapee from
the home of Colonel Hay. The length
of the lake is eleven miles; it's width
from two to three and one-haIf miles
and its altitude 400 feet above the lev
ell Of the sea. President Mckinley could
find no more beautiful or heaIthful re-
sort to which to take his invalid wife
than this ideal spot among the granite
hills.

proved sensational in the extreme.
1t opened quietly in the opera
house, which was. only comforta-
bly, filled.
county chairman Purdy intro
duccd Senator McLaurin aS the
first speaker. The Senator's ad
dress was conscl vative. He paid
tribute to the memory of Senator
Earle, and gave an account of his
own political stewardship. Mr
McLaurin was warmly received.
and sat down with the pleasing as
surance of having made Il good
impression.
Then the storm broke. EX
| > Senator John l. NJ Irbv was
introduced, and for thrcc-quarters
of an hour was enacted as exciting
scenes as perhaps have ever been
witnessed ut campaign meetin .
in this, or any other State. Things
looked serious time and again.
At one time Irby and McLaurin
were only prevented from clinch
ing by the intcrfcrer ce of those
on the stage.
lrby in his speech applied the
severest language 10 McLaurin,
and he came to the front.
When Irby rose, the cheers for
McLaurin were dcafcning. He
made an opening sally, McLaurin
made an apt aside, and the cheer
ing was such that lrby, despite
repeated efforts, could not 90 on.
Then when chairman Purdv quiet
ed the Gro vd, he started out again
by charging the crowd with trying
to howl him down. He said he
knew that it was all fixed up in
this hot bed of Haskcllism and
conservatism. Pretty soon he
said he did not care how many of
these city hcnchmen tried to pre-
vent him from speaking.
chairman purdy advanced then
md said that it WAS their desire to
rive Irby II respectful hearing,
md he asked that he wuuld not
rspeat that insulting language.
{ he could not hc respectful, they
id not want to hear him. The
ommittcc was not responsible
for the outbursts Of feeling. Irhy
replied that they hqd insuitcd him
lirst.
Irby went ON then and charac

lie charged him with dishonest,
and with being guilty of treason
and trcachery. He said that tn,
foulest conspiracy that ever exist
ed in this State was now in fore,
and McLaurin was the beneficiary
Finally, McLaurin, who hac
turned pale, jumped up and facet
him, saying;

each other some time. You can
accuse me of dishonesty. You
can't insult me in that way.
