and Mrs. Sherman have closed their
handsome residence in this city and gone
to their Ohio home for the summef, ac-
cording to their longtime habit. Their
adopted daughter, Mrs. McCalluTn, with
her husband and children, accompanied
them
Mrs Matthew S. Quay and daughter
have gone to their summer home near
Lancaster, Pa, leaving the would-be SEN
ator to fight out his political difficulties on
the Old line in Washington, until Congress
adjourns. Mrs. Washington Mclean is
visiting the Admiral of the Navy and Mrs.
Dewey al "Beauyoir," their summer home
near this city. Senator and Mrs. McMn-
Ian will pass the summer, as is their GUS
tom, at Manchester by -the-sea. Their
daugter Miss Amy, who went abroad
short time ago, was presented at the
Princess of Wales drawing-room the other
day, with other Americans of note. Mar
ragansett Pier promises to retain it's popu-
larity as a summer home for members of
the diplomatic corps. The minister from
Brazil and Sonora Assis-Brasil have al
ready opened their cottage at that resort.
Others who have engaged cottages there
| and will soon go to occupy them are the
| minister from Chill and Sonora Vicuna
| and the Costa Rican minister and Nine.
| Calve Mr.. NJ. de Wollant, First Score
tary of the Russian Embassy, who will BE-
| in charge during the absence of the Am
| bassador, will spend the early summer at
| Bedford Springs, Pa. He will be occom-
panied by Mrs. de Wollant, who is trans
lating one of her husbands works from
the Russian.
Rear Admiral and Mrs. Crowninshild en-
tertained a number of their friends very
| pleasantly the other afternoon by a trip
! down the Potomac on board the "Sylph"
| The same trim yacht was the setting for
a similar hospitality earlier in the week,
when the Secretary of the Navy gave
! Cabinet dinner on beard in honor OF the
President and Mrs Mckinley.
Mrs Gallinger, wife of the senator from
| New Hampshire, who passed the winter in
Washington hotel, 81 during the last
month has been enjoying visit from her
daughter Mrs. H. A. Norton of Car
| bridge Mass, has gone to New England,
| and will not return until next winter
startling report comes from the Mid
| die West, concerning one of Indiana's
most distinguished citizens, the Hon.
| Benjamin Harrison 1t is nothing less
than that the portly apd dignffed ex-
| President of the United States has gone
| in for golfng, with the vim that character
ICES all his movements. The statement
| looks harmless enough in print-but imag-
| inc man of his years and figure eapering
scampering and canterng about over
| field after the ever-evasive white ball! 1t
| is related that Gen. Harrison arrays him
self for this youthful amusement in a
suit that is a wonder, if not the admira-
ton, of all beho,ders. Knee-breeches,
short Jacket jaunty yellow cap and gor-
geous plaid stockings give his bay-win-
dowed physique the look of a Brownie.
Worse yet while the former President was
abroad he learned to utter the name of
| that popular sport in truly English fash
| ion to-wit; "gawf," completely GLIDING the
| and giving to the a the sound of harsh
gutteral 0. There is no telling into what
folhes a man past middle age may be led
| when he takes unto himself a compare
lively youthful wife.
President McKinley's surrender to the
| canteen question has evidently whetted
the appetites of the cranks for other con-
quests. The Methodist brother, who late
| ly put tobacco under the ban because
| they believed that the President is a suf-
| ferer from the noXious weed, were en-.
| tirely mistaken about that tobacco
| heart" they have been mourning over He
| has nothing of the sort-but the falsehood
| is on IT'S travels all the same, along with
| those other libels anent former President
| Hayes addiction to drink, Garfeld's picca-
dillos, Cleveland's domestic troubles, etc.
SIander, like death, cloves a shining
mark" and none in high places can hope
| to escape 1t. Presently some body of
women, or men, viii petition the President
| to prohibit the sale or use of tobacco in
any form at army posts, on transports, or
in any building controlled by the govern
ment. True, it might be a good thing
and so is individual liberty. By the way.
have you heard the latest conundrum?
Here it is, and Republican papers need
| not copy; why is President McKinley's
mind like his bed. Because somebody has
to make it up for him every day.
