WHITE HOUSE SECURELY GUARDED Secret Service Men Watched over Gray Gables Last Summer, and Three Detect- ives Accompanied the President on His Journey to Washington — Threatening Letters, were President Cleveland's detectives discharged from service on the arrival of Mr. Cleveland and his family in Washing- ton a few weeks ago. They were not lon- ger required because the White House is efficiently protected by armed policemen, one or more of whom are also on watch at Woodley when the president and family are there. On his way to and from Wood- ley the president's carriage is commonly accompanied by a mounted officer. A president of the United States is al- ways in some danger of attacks upon his life. Of the great and growing army of cranks some are murderously inclined. Of these, not a few have a wild desire to achieve notoriety, like Guiteau. Such peo- ple as these write some of the threatening letters which frequently reach the White House. Letters of this kind have been received at the White House lately iii greater numbers than have been known for several adminis- trations, says the New York World. The president never sees them. They are hand- ed over, with other nonprivate matter, to a clerk, who looks over them and destroys them at leisure. However, if one of them seems to be of an unusual character, it may be put on what is called the *'crank file." Most of the cranky communica- tions addressed to the president are from harmless religious maniacs, some of them in asylums. Last summer Mrs. Cleveland went, with her babies, to Gray Gables. Mr. Cleveland staid in Washington to sign bills passed by congress. Private citizens sent information to Private Secretary Thurber to the effect, that many tramps and suspicious looking persons were lurk- ing in the vicinity of Buzzards Bay. No tramps had ever been seen there before. It was rumored that a plot was in proc- ess of incubation for kidnaping the Cleve- land children, Ruth and Esther. Mr. AN OLD MAN'S DARtJN0. The Young Girl General Cassins Clay Has Taken to Wife^ . The recent matrimonial exploit of Gen- eral Cassius Marcellus Clay in marrying Dora Richardson, his. 15?-year-old ward, against the united and strenuous oppose tion of his children and other relatives, again illustrates the eM > old story of Cu- pid triumphant overall opposition. Some ill natured people insinuate that it also- indicates that "there is ho fool like an old fool." But let him who has never played the fool in love cast the first stone, say we. As General Clay is worth about $200, - 000 and Is in his eighty-fourth year, it is natural enough that his heirs should get excited over his marriage to a girl in her teens, but the great American public re- fuses to regard with anything hut amuse- jcaent this blue grass sensation, •; : 'A*Jottrei^/.ff^:^f®^ Clay in his^ old age, and an admiring friend thus describes him: "Tall, but so massively built that he looks to be below the medium height, CaS- sius M. Clay is today as lithe and agile, CHENA HAS HAD ENOUGH. PENSION VOUCHERS. P ENSIONERS who desire their pension vouch ers made out in proper form and without lelay. can have the same attended to at the BOMB 3XKI-WBKKI*Y CITIZEN Office. E. E. BYAM, 'Notary Public SHADOWING THE PRESIDENT.. Thurher sent a trusted man from the White House to Buzzards Bay. This man undertook to stand watch at Gray Gables. In one week he resisted three attempts by suspicious persons to approach the house. One intruder pretended to have a bundle to deliver; another had an alleged message. In one instance the guard was obliged to engage in a hand to hand struggle with a trespasser before the latter could be ejected. Gray Gables is in quite an isolated spot. Conditions for the protection of life and property in that vicinity are not what they are. in a big and well policed city. . Mr. Thurber saw Secretary Carlisle, and as a result Mr. Carlisle detailed three experi- enced and reliable detectives of the United States secret service to go to Buzzards Bay. Mr. Cleveland left Washington for Gray Gables on Aug. 28. When he arrived, the detectives had been there about three weeks. They staid at a hotel in the town, one of them being on guard at Gray Gables always. Up to the time of his reaching Buzzards Bay Mr. ( Cleveland had no knowledge of the pre- ' caution which had been taken for the pro- tection of his family. When the Clevelands returned to Wash- ington via New York, the detectives ac- companied them. The secret service men were more than anxious to perform with thoroughness the duty confided to them. To permit any sort of crank to approach Mr. Cleveland would have been as much as their places are worth.- One of them was on guard at air times. In the case of the president there is real danger to be guarded against, and the peril has been considerably greater of-late. Mr. Cleveland is an exceptionally fearless man, and it has been by no order or sug- gestion of bis that these precautions arff taken for his benefit. On reaching Washington the three se- cret service detectives reported to the chief of that bureau in the treasury department and were ordered to return to their respec- tive districts. No detectives watch over the president at the White House. At least four stal- wart policemen are always on duty in the executive mansion, and as many more pa- trol the grounds. No addition has been made to this force under the present ad- ministration. They are all. picked men of powerful build, and each one carries a re- volver. If a stronger force were required at any time to protect the establishment, aid could be instantly summoned from the treasury and war and navy buildings close by-. . .••:"/,*•:•'.-;-•:"•; The only recorded attempt to enter the White House by breaking in at night was made during the Harrison administration by a drunken dude in a fit of delirium tremens. He smashed a window and was promptly taken into custody. . Nobody goes into the White House at any hour unobserved. The most casual visitor is. watched from the moment of en- tering until he or she is ushered out again. He passes between two watchmen at the front door. A sign on the door states that the mansion is open to the public at cer- tain times. The stranger may then ex- plore, under escort, the parlors on. the first floor. He will not be permitted to go up stairs unless he can make it evident that his business is such as to warrant the privilege. SHE WON THE BET. Camille von Wahlburg's Novel Equestrian Feat at a Parisian Banquet. The latest sensation of the day in Paris, is the result of a novel bet made between two leading lights of the fashionable jockey club in that city. It.came about in this way: During a dinner given in honor of the winner of the grand autumn races the guests began to tell stories of fine horsemanship. An elderly officer present said that he thought the young men of this generation did not ride so well as they did in the good old days. This led to an animated dispute, which ended by Max Le- "TMs is very alarming," said the old man as he got up at 4 o'clock in the morn- ing and threw the humming clock over inr to the next yard. "GOOD EVENING, GENTLEMEN!" baudy offering to bet that he knew a lady rider that could do anything with a horse that any. man of this or any generation had done. The old officer accepted the bet, stipulating that the lady should ride her horse into the banquet hall and take a fly- ing leap over the tab!e without disturbing or touching the wine bottles, flowers or anything else on the table.. Nobody dreamed that the bet would be accepted. . It was done, however, and next evening when the same party was gathered around the festive board the event took place. The world famous equestrienne, Camilla von Wahlburg, mounted on her favorite full blooded Arabian horse and attired in the regular- riding habit, sud- denly appeared in the door of the dining room. With acheery' * Good evening, gen- tlemen!" she gave the spur to her animal, and before the thoroughly surprised and amazed diners had time to collect their thoughts she had been carried over the ta- ble in the most graceful and approved fashion by her spirited-horse. Not even -the filled wineglasses Were Jarred, and Max won his bet, and the crowd toasted the dashingf equestrienne. MRS. DORA RICHARDSON CLAY. is springy in his walk, as quick in eye and gesture as he was in that dead past we call before the war. His massive legs are like the Doric columns-in that old por- tico of his family mansion; his sinewy arms are like the solid rafters of its roof. Hair and beard are white as freshly fallen snow, and his leonine face, half dreamy, half forceful, combines the ruggedness of age with all the poetry of youth". "This man preached abolitionism in the heart of slavery when Lincoln was a coun- try lawyer and old John Brown a specula- tor in wool. He it was who published a warning in his paper at Lexington which set the whole country wild With excite- ment and caused the people to seize his entire office outfit and ship it beyond the state. He warned his fellow citizens of in- surrection, telling them that only a pane of glass separated the white skinned wom- an lolling on her sofa in luxurious ease from the dark browed slave who passed by her window and looked in. These were terribly suggestive wonds in those times of negro insurrections." General Clay has long been known as ''the old warhorse," and although he has killed four men and nearly killed a fifth he has never been blamed by the public for his deeds for the reason that he never acted on the offensive, but always on tht defensive. In each case he was murderous- ly attacked for daring to freely say what' he thought. His favorite weapon was a bowie knife, but he never used it or showed it unless he was forced to. Two jbf the men he killed attacked him, after repeat- edly threatening to do so, while he was delivering abolitionist stump speeches. General Clay's bride belonged to a mountain family, and with her brother and sister had lived on the Clay estate nearly all her life. The marriage ceremony took place in the sitting room. The bride was not dressed as brides usually are. She were a plain dark dress, was bareheaded, her long black tresses hanging in an al- most disheveled mass down her back. She wore no gloves, no orange blossoms and carried no bride roses in her hands.' It was a simple ceremony. The girl, who had remained sitting until General Clay and the magistrate arose, got up from the divan and took her place beside her white headed bridegroom. The ceremony was brief, and when it was over the bashful child went back to the kitchen, and Gen- eral Clay and his family physician sat talk- ing by the large open fireplace. . An Embassador to Immediately Proceed . to. Japan to. Treat For Peace. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Information has reached hero that the Chinese government will immediately appoint an embassador to proceed to Japan to treat for peace.- As the former government is anxious for peace, the embassador will promptly start for Tokyo*, or more probably Hibrshima, where the-Japanese emperor and his coun- cil now ao*e- It is expected that Count Ito and: in-all probability Mr. Mutsu, the Japa- nese ministel" of foreign affairs, will rep- resent the Japanese government in the negotiations;. . ; While the personnel of the Chinese peace commission is not known here, from what has already taken place it is assumed that it will consist of Prince Kungv the presi- dent of the Tsung Li Yamen, and Prince Ching, also a member of that body and of almost co-ordinate powers. It may be that, following precedent, they wilj. be ac- companied by a numerous staff, including (Uplomats of experience, perhaps among Others Sir" Robert Etart, Commissioner of customs, or Mr. Dietring, the Tien-tsin commissioner, Who has participated in the negotiation of former treaties, prince Kung was president cf the T»ung Li^a- men at the time of the signiflg of the treaty of 1860 concluding the war between Great Britain and France on the one side and China on the other. He remained in Peking When the court had fiod and him- self negotiated a treaty, thereby probably saving the reigning dynasty from deposi- tion at that time. GREAT BARGAINS. AFTER A ROYAL BABY. Kidnapers Try to Steal the Infant Son of the Duchess of York. LONDON, Dec. 9. —Persons who inquired at York house yesterday concerning the reported discovery of a plot to kidnap the infant son of the Duke and Duchess of York were told that nothin g was known there about the alleged plot. The People has a story corroborating the report alleging that the would be kid- nappers belonged to a gang that had been successful in America and afjberward came to England with the intention of stealing William Waldorf Astor's child. It was for this reason, according to the story, that the Cliveden woods were closed to the public by Mr. Astor. Another Murder Mystery. WORCESTER, Mass., Dec. 9.—When freight train No. 631 on the Boston and Albany railroad pulled into the Worcester yard from Boston last evening, a man was found lying unconscious in one of the box cars.

He is about 32 years old, of medium height and weighs about 130 pounds. There is absolutely no clew to his identity. In.Anatomical Shoes for tender feet at WILLIAM OWENS', 170 Genesee street, TJtica.

ROCHESTER, Dec. 9.—-Bishop McQuaid was asked by a reporter if he had anything to say regarding the attack on. h i m by Rev. Dr. Lambert in the New York Free- man's Journal.. The bishop replied slow- ly: "I have nothing to say except that I do not think it possible for the Rev. Mr. Lambert to surpass the. vituperation he heaped.on his bishop some years ago/" Satolli, Corrigan, Ducey. NEW YORK, Dec' 9.—-Mgr. Satolli, the papal ablegate, is in this city, the guest of Rev, Father Murphy, president of St. Francis Xavici college. Father Murphy Was asked if it was true that the princi- pal object of the papal ablegates visit was to take a hand in the Corrigan-Ducey con- troversy. "I do not believe he thinks the matter of sufficient importance," was the reply. •. •" : - : Accused of Murder. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Sebastian Mayers and John Goetz 'were arrested last night on a charge of murdering Louis Peters in order to obtain an insurance policy of $1, - 000 on his life which Peters had taken out in the Independent Order of Foresters. The crime was committed on the night of March 4 in a saloon kept by Geotz, who was a prominent member, of the Foresters. . Another Election Contest. LEXINGTON, Ky,, Dec. 9.—Notice of contest has been served on Joseph M. Kendall, Democrat, of the Tenth district on behalf of N. T. Hopkins, Republican, who charges conspiracy with the county clerk of Clark county to defraud him by issuing spurious tickets, omitting his name from the Republican ticket. ing an account of the affair for publica- tion, in which he made some innuendoes not exactly flattering to the countess' char- acter. Anna, countess. De Bremont, is an American and has had a remarkably inter- esting career. She was born in New York city 38* years ago and is the oldest daugh- ter of Mrs. Thomas Mallqy, who formerly kept a boarding house in Cincinnati. The countess' maiden name was Anna Dun- phy, Mrs. Malloy's first husband being of that name, and it was only after his death that Mrs. Malloy moved to Cincinnati, subsequently marrying a Lexington -mer- chant tailor named Thomas Malloy. At an early age Anna indicated rare musical as well as literary abilities, and for a number of years she was pne of the principal singers in the Cincinnati cathe- dral choir, leaving it to accept a like posi- tion In the choir of Henry Ward Beecher's Plymouth church, in Brooklyn. ; While in New York she became ac- quainted with and married Leon de Bre- mont, a physician of considerable repute, who also bore the title of count, being the son of an ancient French house and a chevalier of the Legion of Honor., At the time of the marriage Miss Dunphy was 26 years old arid a woman of remarkable beauty. *The union was a happy one, but unfortunately the doctor did not live long to enjoy it, as he died three years after- ward. De Bremont was a man of consid- erable means and left his widow in very comfortable circumstances, but although talented in many things she did not pos- sess the gift of retaining wealth, and be- ing also of a somewhat extravagant dispo- sition the dollars acquired by her husband gradually slipped away from her until she found herself almost penniless.

MATERIAL FOR A LIBRETTO. W. S. Gilbert May Find It I n t h e Count- ess de Bremont's Danaag^e Suit. Considerable interest and no little amusement have been created in England by the damage suit brought against W. S. Gilbert, the famous librettist, by the Countess de Bremont. The countess had applied to the composer for an interview which she wished to publish in St. Paul's, tb which he replied that his terms for an interview were 20 guineas. The lady was equal to such an emergency and retorted, With quaint humor, that she had antici- pated the pleasure of writing his obituary for nothing. This evidently roused the Gilbertian anger, and he retaliated by writ- COUNTESS DE BREMONT. It was then she again took up singing as a profession, and also turned her pen to good account in contributing to her sup- port, by writing for the magazines and the daily press, besides occasionally lecturing on subjects particularly of interest to wom- en. In London she met Brandon Thomas, who is well known in theatrical and liter- ary-circles as a promoter and manager, and he proposed a lecturing and musical tour, which was acceptable to the count- ess. An extensive trip was taken, in which India, Australia and South Africa were visited. On her return to London the doctor's widow assumed the title due "to her by rea- son of his rank. Here she was accorded a most flattering reception at the hands of such aristocratic personages as Lady Wilde, mother of the famous Oscar, Sir Randal Roberts and others of that, ilk be- longing to the great metropolis' most ex- clusive literary set. She set up her place at 1 Cavendish mansions, Portland place, and her Sunday evening "at homes" be- came features of the social world. It.is suggested that Mr. Gilbert may find in this suit material for an entertain- ing libretto, butr it is pretty certain that he will not;again attempt to make game of the brilliant countess. The Squeaky Shoe Annoyance. If there is one thing more than another that worries a sick person, it is squeaky shoes. Many well intentioned visitors bustle into the room where an invalid ia lying, and even though their visit is meant to be cheering and comforting the aggra- vating squeak of their footwear will coun- terbalance all the good that their presence might otherwise produce. Rustling news- papers, voices that sink to a whisper and overanxiety as to the patient's appetite or personal comfort are all annoying when the invalid is sick enough to be fretty and yet not sick enough to be obliyious to his his or her surroundings. Tact is necessa- ry in the sickroom -far more than any- where else, and the amateur nursei must bring patience, forbearance and to bear upon a task that needs the nicest handling in order to steer clear of stdrins and obstacles.—Philadelphia Times.
