WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-—The home com- lag of President Cleveland and his family is an event of more than passing moment. It commemorates in one way the intro- duction of another occupant of the White House, while at the same time it marks the informal opening of the ’social season in this city It is nearly five months since the president and his family went to Woodley, their country hc use, and thence to Gray Gables, and during that 'period the historic White House has been renovated from attic to cellar. In the first place, the White House is an old structure, serviceable in its time but not up to modern requirements dur- ing the past few years. Its sanitary con- dition had always been questioned, at least since the sanitary engineers and men of science have pointed out its faults, and the summer gave ample opportunity to make the necessary improvements in this respect. With this essential work com- pleted the artisans turned their attention to the interior decorations, with a 'result that is at once artistic and resplendent. It is not an easy thing to take an old mansion and by the application of paint and brush rejuvenate it, but this has been accomplished, and the result today is an executive dwelling in which comfort is blended with elegance. The exterior ap- pears most pleasing to the eye in its fresh . garb of white paint. It is in the interior, however, where the deftness of the artist has been lavished with the most consum- mate skill. For the first time in its his- tory the blue room is true to its name. When the late Mrs. Harrison was alive, she caused the frescoing of the ceiling of this particular room to assume the hue corresponding with its name. The result was a pleasing effect, but not an artistic one in the full sense of the word. There were certain incongruities in the furnish- ings of the apartment that did not har- monize with the general effect. Today, however, all that was lacking in this req- uisite is changed. The gold furniture has been upholstered with delicate blue damask. For the “Big Guru’s” Benefit. The most important change, however, in this room is the extra door which has been cut in the south end of the west hall separating this room from the red room for the convenience of the dignitaries of high degree who may thus escape to the coveted space back of the receiving party without first passing with the crowd be fore the "line” and greeting the president and the ladies receiving. With that ex- ception, the red parlor is quite the same. One of Mrs. Cleveland’s favorite rooms in the house, and the one where she enter- tains many of her musical friends and now and then enjoys an impromptu mu- sical feast, is the green parlor. The faded green has given place to darker colors in the upholstery and the effect is much on- hanted. Olive green moire antique silk, with a gold thread conspicuous in the weave. has made the room far moreat- tractive than it ever was before. The per- traits of Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Van Buren, which adorn this room, have been touched up, so that to the‘very slightest detail everything is fresh and new. That famous old parlor, the east room, has received new touches in its white and gold decorations. Draperies and curtains now adorn the dreary hollow windows of the past months, and the old brown matting of the summer season has beep removed from the beautiful old gold carpet. .While all this work of improvement has been done in the public rooms of the White House greater changes have been made in the furnishings of the private apartments on the second floor. There has been very little change, it is true, in Mrs. Cleve- land’s sitting room, which is finished in bright yellow, but in the nursery, on the north side of the house in the west corner, where the sun streams in during the chill October afternoons, one finds another tiny bed, although little Marion shares the apartments of her mother at night. Neat- ly and daintly arranged are the little fur- nishings. with chairs and toys innumera- ble. Over the plants in the windows-ca- nary birds in golden cages trill out their happiness and add much to the bright life of the little girls, who are devoted to pets. A Miniature White House. , Many of the children’s playthings, in- cluding a miniature White House pre- Sented to them one Christmas, are in the library, the most attractive room of all, new restored to its former elegance and comfort. This is the apartment where, during the residence of the family in the White House. Mrs. Cleveland fiiends the, greater part of her time. Here it is that she receives her intimate friends, and often spends an hour or so playing on the rosewood piano, for she is an accomplished musician. When not otherwise engaged, those who are fortunate enough to be admitted there can find her busy‘with delicate embroidery and practical needlework. At such mo- ments the children romp in and make of the large, magnificent room a sort of a playhouse, npw darting out a few steps away to the cabinet room and then to In the quiet seclu. sion of this latter room the president, his wife and children spend many happy hours, while the rest of the world believes that he is vigorously bestowing his atten- tion to affairs of state. The return of Mrs. Cleveland to Wash: ington, while it really marks the opening of the social season, will be greeted with much pleasure by the ladies of the admin-' ‘V istration. No particular days have been set as yet for the formal calls, but Mrs. Harmon will be among the first, inas- much as she is the only wife of a’ cabinet officer who has not as yet been presented tame 11w. lady, 9f thew; newest. much the social season may sway itself, Mrs. Cleveland has much to do in perfecting the home comforts before the cold term sets in. She will spend much of her time, as formerly, in driving. The morning drives will find her accom- panied by her children, and a bright, happy picture of domestic happiness they present as they speed over the smooth pavements of the capital. Mrs. Cleveland as a Teacher. After the return at midday, and the lunch finished, the German’ lesson is giv- en, and Mrs. Cleveland, who is athorough German scholar, teaches Ruth,, and even 2-year-old Esther, how to prattle in the - language of the kaiserland- Ruth hat made much progress in her German, a fact which gives much pleasure to the fa— ther and mother. This part of the chil- dren’s education over, Mrs. Cleveland gives a little attention to her winter shop- ping and plans with her dressmakers the gowns she will wear during the coming season. Although the majority of her splendid evening dresses are imported. she has many favorite costumes made in Baltimore" by a dressmaker who also plans Mrs. Carlisle’s toilets. Another thing Mrs. Cleveland delights in doing is the very sensible idea of making over some of her old costumes, and they prove quite serviceable for either indoor or wet day dresses. The social season in Washington, while it may be said to be open, will not be form- ally so until New Year’s. Before that time all the set state receptions will have been arranged, and 1896 will find the so- cial life of Washington in fullswing. Mrs. Cleveland’s first public appearance, it is said, will be a visit to the new opera house which was built on the site of the old Blaine mansion. That will occur dur- ing the next ten days, and the let of No- vember will find the family at Woodley, Where they will remain until Thanksgiv- ing time at least. ' . RUSSIAN BEAR GROWLS.

The dispatch continues: “As to the course proposed, Russia will do her duty. whatever is entailed, without stopping to inquire whether other powers like it or do not like it.

Morris Schoenliolz Must Serve Forty- eight Years In Sing Sing Prison. THE JUDGE’S server REBUKE The Convicted Man Soblied and Monned ‘ Pitecusly In Court and jHad to Be Car- ' tied Out After Sentence \Vns , Pronounced—His: Crimes. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.4.3.1... Fitzgerald in, the court of general sessions this after- .noon sentenced Morris Schoenholz, con- victed of arson in the first degree, second offense, to 48 years’ imprisonment in Sing Sing state prison. In passing sentence Judge Fitzgerald said: “I cannot imagine any graver or black- er offense than that of which the defend- ant has been convicted. When a man for cupidity commits an act which may cause a great loss of life, he is guilty, to my mind, of the worst possible form of murder. “This man’s whole career has been one of crime. I am held by the statutes from passing a light sentence upon him. He has had the benefit of a mostable defend- er; his counsel has done all that could be done. “I wish to say before passing sentence that Assistant District Attorney Davis is entitled to the sincere thanks of the com- munity. He has done an enormous amount of work in bringing this man and others to justice. “The defendant is entitled to no consid- eration whatever upon any grounds. The safety of the community requires that he be imprisoned during his life. The mini- mum sentence under the present law will be practically for his life, but I am aware that at some future time it may be said that I gave him the lowest sentence that I could" under the law. That might be used in his behalf. I will therefore give him more than the minimum sentence.” Schoenholz Breaks Down. Schoenholz at this point began to sob violently and moaned in a piteous way. He fell forward over the railing, but the court officers straightened him up, and the judge, continuing, said: “The sentence of the court is that the defendant be confined in state prison at Sing Sing for a term of 48 years.” Schoenholz was half carried from the courtroom, crying and meaning and roll- ing his head irom side to side. He was led across the “Bridge of Sighs,” screaming at every: step, to his cell in the Tombs. The courtroom was crowded, so that there was not even standing room when Schoenholz was brought to the bar for sentence, motions for a new trial and ar- rest of judgment by Lawyer Abraham Levy, after a long argument, having been denied. ' His face was white as a sheet and the lines about his mouth were drawn deep. If ever a man’s eyes showed abject fear, his did. They glanced appealingly from one face to the other until they rested upon his alert counsel. There they rested 1 for a. moment and then wandered to the face of Judge Fitzgerald, by whose side sat Colonel Fellows. Lawyer Levy says he will appeal the case. Schoenholz’s Dcspicable Crimes. The crime for which Morris Schoenholz was convicted was setting fire to the apartments of one Deutsch, on the third floor of the tenement 285 East Fourth street, the night of Jan. 4, 18-95. Schoenholz was a “mechanic” for a big gang of firebugs, and the district attorney has sufficient evidence to have convicted him of setting half a dozen or more other fires if the trial just finished had resulted in his acquittal. Schoenholz at one time since his arrest had a chance to get off with a. short im- prisonment provided he would turn state‘s evidence against some of the other mem- bers of the gang of firebugs to which he belonged, but he required a written guar- antee of immunity before he gave his tes- timony and that the district attorney re- fused to let him have. Schoenholz set fires for small sums like $30 or $40. “cash down, ” and part of the insurance money obtained later by his patrons. It was partly upon the evidence of those who employed him to set fires that he was gonvicted. Fighting In Formosa.
