HAWK REIGNENDED After Serving in the Oapaoity of Coachman for Twenty-tw- o Years A new - - White House Coachman STEPS IN HIS EASY-PITTIN- G SHOES. The old Darkey Who Guidod the Horses for Grant. Hayes, Garfield. Arthur and Cleveland Forced Out. Washington. Aug. 18. An unlwiw man u Albert Hawkins, colored; and no wonder, for he has lost a throne. Twenty-tw- o years has Hawknumatmipn-menpo-tb Hot of th White Honse carriage. Hayes did not cure nP about horses and rarely rode out. It always ined tome that hewasaveiw tolgw in public. A crowd made Jim decided-ly uncomfortable. "President Garfield wm Vhole gouled, heartysortof man, good, natuiw and easy to arproach. The farniJy wa a well ordered one, and inclined to have some enjoyment out of life, though the boys were not half so wild aa the Grant bow were. Miss Mollie GarfieM m the pet of the White Howe during tho stay of her parents, and we were all vey fond of her. though I remember that we had a good deal of pity for her too. as she seemed nil the time to he struggling along under a load of parental restraint. Once in a while tho got over the traces and showed us that she had a spirit, awl a right lively one at that. I shall never forget the morning President Garfield was shot. I hud driven him and Secre-tary Blaine to the stAtion, and tliey had not been out of the carriage more than twenty seconds when I heard the report, of the pistol. Though at that time I d(d not know what had happened, I felt that something had gone wrong with the president. In five minutes it couldn't have been longer there were 10,000 peo-ple about that station. It seemed the whole of Washington had suddenly gath-ered at Pennsylvania avenue, and the crowd was so dense that it was all I could do to force my horses through the mass of humanity. Men caught at the reins and grabbed hold of the wheels, swearing they would not let me go on till I told them what had happened. At that moment I knew nothing except that the president had been shot, but they wouldn't believe me. If the police hadn't come to my rescue I shouldn't have reached the White House in four hours. "When President Arthur came to the White House it was in many respect as if tho Grant.regime had been restored. President Arthur was the gayest man that ever occupied the presidential chair, I'll venture. I can see him now as I used to see him, standing on the portico waiting for me to drive up. His clothes faultless; not a wrinkle anywhere; every garment and every seam a perfect St, and trousers that were simply divine. Trousers were his weakness, just as horses were Gen. Grant's weakness. The servants used to tell me that Gen. Ar-thur had a new pair of trousers made every week, and that ho had at times as many as seventy or eighty pairs in his i - HAWKINS ON THE BOX. nd he had long ago concluded he was thus seated for life. But forsotne reason Mrs. Harrison has let the old man go, and employed anew coachman in his place. Naturally the fall has nearly broken the old man's heart. Hawkins re-- 1 tires from his office with much bitter-- ness of heart and many interesting rec- - Elections of tho White House and its occupants. The trouble is to induce him to talk. There is not n newspaper man in Washington who does not know from actnal test how well Hawkins can hold his' tongue. During the twenty-tw-years of his service in the White House, utables he has been besought many thousand of times to give up bits of in-formation, apparently trivial in. them-selves, but of prima importance to the chronicling craft. He has always re-fused. It has been said of Hawkins that Ws own coach horses could not pull a word from his lips concerning the move-ment or habits of his employers. He habitually drew his lips as tightly as he did his lines, and thus drove calmly through twenty-tw- o years of rough roads. Hawkins is a large, coal black man, whose hair is now silvered. He is THE PRBSIPKNTS STABI.KS. wardrobe, 1ut I never lielieved that. Mr. Arthur rode out a great deal, and he wanted the equipage as neat and perfect aa he was himself. One day we drove up to the White House with a little bit of dust on the victoria. ' Mr. Arthur saw it and it provoked him so much that he sent the carriage back to the stable and gave up his proposed drive. Every three months the footman and I had to go over to New York and spend a week getting new out-fits. We paid a hundred dollara a suit, and sometimes bought ten or twelve auits at one order. The carriages and harness were of the most expensive pat-tern and they had always to be kept looking just aa if they had come from the Bhop. Tho silk hats which we wore during the day we were not allowed to wear at night. The president was very particular about this, as he said the night air ruined silk hats. President Arthur spent money like water, not only on the stable but in the house, and I don't believe he saved a rent of his sal-ary. ' "President Cleveland did not ride out much till aftor he was married. When ho wanted to go out ho would order a carriage, and it didn't make a particle of difference to him what carriage was used or how many horses. I believe he would have, jumped into an old fash-ioned one horse chaise and nover noticed tho difference. But when the day of his marriage approached he began to spruce up and really became qnite foppish. Ho kept this up till one day he discov-- ! ered that the servants were laughing at him, and then ho blushed like a school-- , boy and for a time tried to fall back to his old habits. "Mrs. Cleveland," Hawkins went on, with an onthusiasm which showed bo at last hud reached the topio nearest his heart, "was the most perfect lady that ever lived. None of the servants could ever lie asked to do too much for her. Day and night they were always antici-pating her least desire. And how the president did love horl I never saw such perfect devotion. I'll tell you a little secret about the C'levelands. Whentt.j i newspapers lined to say that Mr. Cleve-land was not treating his wife right the president went nearly crazy. He used to say that he wished he were not presi-dent of the United States, so t hat he might find the man that wrote those terrible things and choke hiui. And the presi-dent did look to me as if he could kill the fellow. But Mrs. Cleveland would say in her sweet way: 'IS'ever mind, drover. You oughtn't to care much if I don't, and I don't care a snap, aa I know how false the stories nre, and some day the world will know it, too.' " As 10 tho present occupants of the ' executive mansion the would have little to say, excepting a.s to Baby McKee. "1 like the whole fam-ily," he saw!, "but I love that little ra-- ; cal. There is plenty of the old ICick under that boy's skin, and he was a great pet of mine." . Wajltke Welluan. positive character, strong in his likea and dislikes, possessed of fancies and hatreds amonnting almost to supersti-tions. Mrs. Cleveland was the apple of his eye. To this rbiy he is prone to talk of her sweetness, of her beauty, of her ltindness. He shed tears when she left the White House, Republican though he is, and it was the mention of Mrs. Clove-lan- d tha t loosened the old man's tongue. "Ah," he exclaimed, "that was a wo-man of a million. That was the sweet-ra- t woman tliat ever entered the While Houso in my day. I, shall never forget dear, sweet Mrs. Cleveland. She" All things earthly, even such honest Thapsodies, must coma to an end, and so I interrupted Hawkins with an inquiry concerning his first days as the presi-dential coachman. "It has been said of nu," replied ihe dethroned whip, "that I was in the army with Gen. Grant, and that he brought me to Washington as his coach-man. That is not true. I did not enter the service of tho general till after he was elected president. Gen. Grant was the greatest lover of fine horses we have had in tho White Houso in my day. He liked a spirited horse, one that was fond of plunging and rearing and of pulling the carriage along by the bits. How my arms used to ache driving the general's favorite span over the country roads. He never wanted to go slow, no matter what the roads were. Often I used to pull up on the hills and dangerous places, but Gen. Grunt would sing out to me, "Let 'era go, Hawkins: they won't hurt themselves." Ami so 1 let 'em go, sometimes, it seemed to me, t the risk " of killing everybody behiud them. But Gen. Grant wouldn't lei, a horse of his be abused. He wanted them driven like the wind, but only for a short time, and thon he wanted them taken care of like ba bit s. I never in all my life saw such a paiiacnlar man as ho was about the care of homos, and it wasn't easy to fool him, cither. He used to comedmvu to the stables when ho wasn't expected and lake a look at things, and ho knew when the boys had done what was right and when they hadn't. Ho was a power-ful handy man to have about in case of si( kuos in tho sljible, too. !'lt has always appeared to me," con-tinued Hawkins, "that people didn't know Gen. Grant. For instance, I don't believe it waa generally known that the general was so gentle and kind and so hated to have any bother that the White House was ruled by Mrs. Grant as with a rod of iron. She m.uiaged everything, aad the general, along with all the other fulks, gave way to hw. Mrs. Grant wan e:ily angered and when in a paasion whs a regular whirlwind, but the storm suon blew over, and then she was as vef t as she could be. She seemed to be horry for something she had said while angry, and for a week or two she would actually be so mecR in the pres-ence of tte servants that they talked about it. And then, when they were just ready to imagine that they could do as thoy pl&ased, she would flare up and make their heads swim. Nellie Grant was a sweet girl, enough like Mrs. Cleveland to be her sister, and it made me sick when she married that English-man. That was all Mrs. Grant's doings. The general was opposed to it from the first, and he was mighty badly hurt over it, I can tell you. If it had been anybody but Mrs. Grant that he haA to deal with on that occasion the wedding never would have come off. Mrs. G was the only person in the world that could induce the general to chango his mind after he had once made it up. She ruled him completely. But she was a splendid woman, and we all liked her. '1'here was ' change when the Hayeses came it. We had no more fine horses. Mrs. Hayes was very popular among the servant but for som reason we did not care much for Mr. Hayes. The Grants seemed to lie in the White House for the fun there was in it,' while the fisS were .moio eeriaus, president j SALT LAKE CITY Sights and Scenes in and Around the Inter-Mounta- in Metropolis. t HUES OF IVFEIIEKT TO.
