HOW THEY INTRUDE.
The President and His Family Have
Little Privacy.

The Companion recently gave a few
simple rules of etiquette that govern
the president of the United states ard
his wife in their social duties. 1t would
be timely If we could also state, at the
incoming of a new administration, the
rules of etiquette that govern the peo-
pie of this country in their social inter-
course with their chief ruler; but there
are no such rules.
No stranger can gain an audience
with the head of any other nation
without passing through a rampant of
guards and officials. Such a defense
would offend most of our people.
Every well-bred man, as a matter of
course, respects the privacy of the
president as he would that of any pri-
vate gentleman. Unfortunately there
are men who are obtuse and not we'll
bred, and who obtrude upon him with
out the slightest consciousness of rude
mes or impropriety, and sometimes in
a ludicrous way.
During Mr.. Cleveland's summer resi-
derce in Marion two or three large
wagons full of curious visitors would
arrive almost every Sunday afternoon.
The men and women would sit in rows
on the fences of his front yard or take
possession of the porches watching
through the windows every movement
Of the family within, who could not
protest, as any private family would
nave done, against the uncivil intru-
sion.
One day, while the presidents wife
sat sewing in the hall at Woody, a
man entered without a word, and,
walking past, her, minutely inspected
her face and dress with a contempt
uCus sniff. Mrs. Cleveland's temper
and good breeding were proof against
even this insult.
When you go out" she said, gent
ly, will you be kind enough to close
the door?'
Il don't know that I'll go out that
way" was the reply, and he took a
leisurely stroll through the house.
An ANNOYANCE to which the cccu-
pants of the White House are often
subjected is the receipt of gifts. In
few cases, doubtless, these are offer
ings of a goodwill, sent with a gen.
uine friendly feeling; but the most of
the presents are intended to secure a
letter as an advertisement, or 10 bring
the president under an obligation to
the doner.
1t is not fitting that our chief mag
istrate, because of his position, should
be subjected to these annoyances.
Officially he is the servant of the public
and it should have reasonably free ac-
ces to him; but his home. his wife and
family do not belong to the public, and
should not be subjected to intrusion CT
Interference more than those of any
private citizen.-Youth's Compan;onL

Port Jervis, May 24.-Supt. Lyman
o. Rose has had notices posted all
along the Delaware and Hudson canal,
from Honesdale, Pa, to Rondout, N.
Y, forbidding the use of the towpath
by bicyclers under penalty of So for
each offence. The canal has been a
favorite route for wheelmen who fire.
quently resorted to it when the high
ways were not in a good condition to
ride.
No objection has been made to the
use Of the towpath by the canal au-
thorities until complaints came in of
the abuse of the privilege by some rid
els who frightened the horses Of boat
men, driving them sometimes into the
water and causing damage. In sew
eral instances insulting remarks have
been made to the wives and daughters
of tOatmen in passing, and the result
is that all bicyclists are made to suf-
fer for the acts of few lawless indi-
Viduals.

That Is the Offense Benjamin AIIgood, Of
Price Street Is Charged With.
The Hearing Continued.

Benjamin Allgood, of 1901 Price
street, was before Alderman Davies
last evening charged with "hugging"
Mrs. Louisa Harmer, of $40 Oakford
street.
1t appears thf on Friday last Mrs.
Harmer stood on oxford street, a short
distance from her home and Allgood
approached her and asked If her hus-
band was at home. Mrs. Harmer re-
piled negatively, but that he would
soon be.
Thereupon Allgood said he would go
to the house with her and wait until
her husband came. While walking to-
ward the house Allgood placed his arm
around the woman. She resented this
and pushed him from her. Allgood
then decided he did not want to wait
for Mr.. Harmer's return, and went off
The case was continued until this eve-
ming at the request of ex-Judge Stan
ton, who appeared for Allgood. Ex-
Alderman DE Long represented Mrs
Harmer.

him his life. The family, which has
but recently moved here from Arch

goods and among other things that
was carelessly thrown about, was an

when the contents of the revolver were
discharged. The bullet entered the
right shoulder and lodged underneath
the shoulder blade. DR.. Bessey was

Funeral of Master Robertson.

Yesterday afternoon the remains of
Master George Robertson, son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. G. Robertson, of 752 Clay
avenue, were laid to rest in the Dun
more cemetery. The services were con-
Quoted at the house by Rev. DIR. C. E.
Robinson, of the Second Presbyterian
church, and Rev. John Dunn. The
choir of the Second Presbyterian
church rendered several selections at
the house and grave. The esteem in
which the youth was held was manifest
in the beautiful floral tributes received
and the large number of people who
attended his funeral and paid their last
respects. To know him was to love
him, to know him was to be his friend
and cherish his goodness. He knew
how to make friends and how to keep
them. In fact few young men had so
many friends.
He won the affection Of others by his
kindness and manly qualifications and
those who had the pleasure of being his
friends will greatly regret his absence,
No more his pattering feet will greet
His paternal spouse to and from the
car;
He has closed his large, brown eyes to
meet
In that place beyond the gates ajar"
Too good too pure on earth to longer
dwell
A beckoning hand has bid him come
To the reward he earned so we'll
To be star amongst the Saviour's
chosen ones. b. ii. ID.

Resolutions Passed Last Night by

The following resolutions were passed
last night by the Central Labor union;
Whereas, The majority of the men EN-
ployed in the building and other trades ir
this city are not employed one-half OF
their time; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we advise strongly
against the practice which now exists In
some industries of working overtime be-
yond the established hours of labor, par.
ticularly in these times, when so many
unemployed are struggling for an oppor-
tunity to work. as we regard 1t as the In
stigatlon of the basest selfshness, a radi.
cal violation of union principles, and
whether on piece work or day work, tends
to set back the general movement for tho
8-hour day.
