What slip Gossips Have to Say
About the Fvont.
Avgusta, MK.,Sept. 14.—While James
G. Blaine, Sr., as busy at bis Bar Harbor
Cottage preparing speeches that should
make or mar lys prospects for the Presi
dency in 188$ the juniorot that name was
pressing his suit with Miss Nevlus with
far more vigor than he gave to his studies
that should admit him to Harvard, and
though the Plumed Knight has won a vic
tory in his own State that makes him a
formidable competitor tor the first place in
the land, it is the younger man who is the
topic of general conversation here to-day.
It is reported that the wedding was the
.result of a urearrangod plan on toe part
of the younger inembeis of the Nt-vlns
family' to secure an alliance with the
youthful scion ot James u. Blaine, lor the
purpose of advancing their social and
financial position in the world, brack
.Kevins, the brother of Marie, has been
continually boasting ot his pedigree, and .
claimed superior importance in the worl 1 i
■because he considered himself capable of
tracing his ancestry back into the dark
sges. This boast was constantly being
dinned into the ears of Jimmy prior to
the appearance oi the two sisters in Au
gusta. so that when they did arrive here,
and Marie presented herself to iris ad
miring gaze, tbe young gentleman imme
diately became a willing urev.
Mr. Blaine will not talk upon the sub
ject. hut it is an open secret that he be
came very wrathv w hen the news of the
marriage came io his ears, and immedi
ately took steps to inquire into the mat
ter. When he became certain that the
alliance bad really been lawfully entered
into between the pair he decld- and to make
the most ot n unpleasant affair, anil so
vesierday he dispatched Jimmy to New
York for tbe purpose of bringing his
bride to Augusta, when the story of the
marriage would be lormallv announced
and the couple installed in the Blaine
household as a part of that interesting
family. What effect tbe hasty marriage
of Jimmy will have upon the prosecution
ot his studies, which ail bis Hie have been
sadly neglected, cannot now be deter
mined, but it is stated that Mr. Blaine has
summarily discharged the private tutor,
Mr. Wardman, because be failed to ad
vise him ot the Intrigue w nich was going
on under his eyes. Wardman claims
that he bad no know ledge oi any intrigue
being in existence, and supposed that the
attentions which Jimmy showered upon
the lair Marie were prompted by his love
ol a pretty face, and that he had no inten
tions of aiding in any way the accom
plishment o! a clandestine marriage.
Xkw York, Sept. 14.—JamesG. Blaine,
Jr., arrived early yesterday morning from
Augusta, Me., whither be had gone to in
form his family of his marriage to Miss
Maiie Nevins, and went at once to the
Few York Hotel, where he met bis'bride.
During the forenoon Mr. and Mrs. Blaine,
Br., with Col. Kevins, drove to the office
Of the Board of Vital Statistics and there
Segistered the marriage. The remainder
f the day was spent quietly with inti
mate friends at the hotel.
After their marriage a week ago tbe
young couple went to Boston, where they
remained two days. Mr. Blnine then
started lor his home, while bis bride re
turned to this city. Mr. Blaine, Sr., was
on his tour through Maine when his son
arrived, and it was after one ol his politi
cal speeches that he was informed of tbe
marriage. The news came so unexpect
edly that he took his son wlih him from
town to town until arrangements could
he made for the young man to give up his
sollege course and prepare to go on a
wedding tour. Mr. Biaioe regretted his
son having taken such a step wit bout ap
prising him. but at once pardoned hirn.
A liberal allowance was made for bis
honeymoon, and w ith the kindest wishes
efalt bis ramiiy he left Augusta on Mon
day to rejoin his waiting bride.
An intimate friend of the Nevins family
said yesterday:
“Everything is happiness and satisfac,
tlon and there is no ill feeling in either
family. Miss Nevins, or rather Mrs.
Biaine, is a rare girl, strikingly b-autnul
and accomplished. 1 had supp ised that
she was engaged to a rich Calitornian,
put she tells me she never was. bhe is
thoroughly in love with Mr. Blaine, and
they are very happy. While it is true
that she has, perhaps, sacrificed greater
opportunities, we all think that she will
he tbe salvation o! her husband, lie is
deeply In love with her and will be
moulded by bis wife.
“Mr#. Bliine i# a woman of very great
force of character anil determination.
I.er marriage was an illustration of this.
When she decided to yield to Mr. Blaine
and have the ceremony performed at
Dnce she went with him to see Father
Duoey. lie refused to sanction the mar
riage. Fbe went again next day and he
told her to call on Monday, lint when
she went to the rectory he refused abso
lutely. She succeeded m inducing him to
po with her to Archbishop Corrigan for a
special dispensation. Tnere again she
was refused on account of the youth o(
both parties. Finally, after a great dpal
or argument, Miss Kevins looked up sud
denly and asked:
“‘Where does the Rev. Mr. Houghton,
rector of the Church of the Trauttgura
tion, live?’ Before the Archbishop could
answer she added: ‘You have it in your
power to allow us to be married in your
church. If you will not we will go to the
Episcopal church. It is now getting lute
and we are going to Boston to-night.’ This
icitlid the matter, and the dispansation
was grauted.”
The young couple will start to-night on
their wedding tour, but just where the
honeymoon will be spent n'ns not yet been
decided. In fact, the bride has said that
their destination will not bebbd, althougn
they will go to the South or West—proba
bly to Fortress .Monroe. No further plans
have yet been made. Mr. Blaine has not
yet dele. mined what profession or busi
ness he will lollovv, nor ha# it been de
termined where tbo young couple will
live after their honeymoon.
Tho World gives the following skcteU
nf toe youthtui bridegroom: “.lames G.
Blaine, Jr., is the youngest son of the ex-
Fenator, and has been a cause of much
anxiety to bis fathe' for the few years of
Ins budding maturity. It has always
been the desire of Mr. Blaine to have tins
son peculiarly well educated, and to thla
end the young man bad been given ev>rv
Bdvnntage, He was taken out of me pub
lic schools at Augusta as early as it was
thought well to send him to a bearding
reboot, and his llr>t experiences were In
l’rof. Young’s Institute in Wasningi ui,
J>. C. During the winter of 18*1) young
James achieved such a reputation uniong
his fellow schoolmates that it was decided
best for all that be should sever his con
nection with the school.
“Mr. Blaine cast about for some t m to
find an institution where the discipline
was more strict, and at last made no Ins
mind to send his son to Phillips Exe
ler Academy in New llampsnire. James
was making fair progress nun tils studies
when the little Corinne Opera Troupe,
playing ‘Pinafore.’ came to town. 1 l.s
young girls in the chorus turned ins mini
from Ins books fo the beauties ol the
ballet, und an excuse was put Id the
faculty lor a week’s absence ou the plea
wl ill health. During this time the troupe
made their headquarters at Exeter, and
performed in the neighboring towns in
Idee'veiling. Young -Mr. Blaine’s pres
ence during the day and absence at night
at lust aroused the suspicions of the
prbbMtn, and he wa* ootnpelled to
leave. The case was appealed, hut the
investigations that followed und a mini.
ler of grocers’ und street lamp signs
found in the young man’s room confirmed
the first decision of the managers of tbe
Academy.
"From Exeter James was sent to a fit
ting school nesr Washington to prepare
lor Columbia College or Johns Hopkins
University, acoording as the voting men
r
J developed a capacity for a collegiate
; course or some special department. But
the enactions ol iVashington society
proved tiro alluring, and be again sacri
tiefii bis books lor other diversions. In
Washington tie is accredited as having
, been the first person among the fashiona
ble young men to appear at receptions in
lull evening dress, with broadcloth Knick
erbockers and bright knee buckles, it
w as at this time also that the young man
had his first very serious affaire du co-ur.
His father, however, interposed, and wltn
the promise of an increased allowance
allured bis son from this particular ob
ject of his affection*. There were epi
sodes about this time in which the mu
nicipal authorities of Washington bore a
part.
“Convinced that the public schools
were not the place for the young man, his
father made up bis mind to try a private
tutor. Mr. Howard Goodwin, a grandson
of the late Judge Rice, of Augusta, Me.,
and probably .lamas’ most intimate
friend, was engaged la6t winter to prepare
him tor college. Harvard was ibis lime
made the mark, but both the tutor and the
im.il being expert pool players and the
latter fond of cards, the progress io the
dead languages was slow, in the spring
James went to Cambridge to trv his for
tune. but failed utterly on Hie preliminary
examinations, nuicn to the disgust of the
ex-Senator. When be returned home an
nccount ot his conduct was de
manded and a reduction made in
the usual allowance. Another tutor
was engaged, and the prospect
of a gay summer at the cottage at Bar
Harbor was cut short by the order for the
house at Augusta to be kept open and for
tbe youngest son to remain there with his
books. He was allowed the privilege of
spending Saturday and Sunday at Mount
Desert occasionally, but ift> other vaca
tion. Asa result, the young man. finding

morning. One of bis exploits during the
summer at Augusta occurred while he

GOULD'S DOUBI.F, MARRIAGE.
Romance of (lie Young Millionaire’s
Courtship of Miss Kingtlou.
From thf Fhi/ntff/ i>hi(l Prem.
New York, Sept. IS.—The marriage of
Jay Gould’s son and heir to Miss Edith
Kingdon, yesterday, furnished the basis
for a good deal of gossip to-dav on tbe fu
ture of tbe house ot the great speculator.
It also afforded an opportunity to com
mend the good sense of the richest man
in America in making of tbe marriage
ceremony a plain, simple union of two
hearts without any of the ostentution and
display which his vast wealth could have
commanded.
The wedding was in every sense as
democratic as possible. There were no
bridesmaids, no ushers, no musio—in
fact, none of the accessories of the mod
ern ceremony. Tbe young couple simply
entered one ol tbe parlors ol Mr. Gould’s
residence, which had been decorated
with flowers from the conservatories,
and there, in the presence of
their families, were married accord
ing to the ritual of the Presby
terian church. The brido wore a black
silk walking dress, trimmed with dark
beads. It was made by Worth while she
was playing in Paris. Mr. Gould wore an
ordinary business suit. Not a dozen
people witnessed the marriage. Mr.
Gould and hts bride came at once to this
el'y, accompanied by Mrs. Kingdon.
Atier leaving the latter lady at her home
the newly married ones drove away.
Thevoung husband earned >wr. town to
bis business office this morning as usual.
His father was with him, and Jay
Gould seem and to lie as happy as his son.
They found hundredsof telegrams from all
parts ot the country congratulating the
young mail on his wedding. After read
ing a few of them father and son left the
i flic * shout noon and drove to Mrs. King
don's house, where the young bride was
waiting. Then the rattier, son and Mrs.
Gould. Jr., drove to the foot of West
Twenty-third street, whence they went on
board the Atalanta and steamed up the
Hudson to Irvington. The young couple
will spend three weeks at Undhurst, Jay
Gould’s summer home, after which
George will buy a house in tbe city and
attend to business as usual.
Every theatre goer in Philadelphia has
pleasant memories ot Miss Kingdom, par
ticularly as • Margery Gwynn,” in “Love
on Crutches.” in which character her
pretty face and charming ways fast won
her a permanent place in the minds of
those who have seen heron the stage of
the Chestnut Mreot Opera House. It
was as the fasclnatiu: widow in Mr.
Daiv’s (day that Miss Kingdon first won
Mr. Gould’s admiration, too, and night
sftor night lie watched her from a box in
Daly’s Theatre here. Instead of
admiring her through opera
Klauses or throwing flowers at
her (eet, Iho heir to millions quietly asked
permission to present tiimselr. and called
on Miss Kingdon and lier mother at their
residence on West Kitty-eighth street.
From that time he has pushed his suit
arduously, hut with so much respect for
her position In the world and the gossip
ing tongue of scandal, that even his near
est friends never heard a word about her
tiom him. Miss Kingdon, too. has been
very discreet. When a friend unl her
about the rumor* of her engagement that
were current last winter, her reply was:
‘•You can rest assured that i shall never
marry while I am an actress.”
A chance visitor in her homo last win
ter could frequently have found the heir
of millions turning me pages of a love
song for Miss Kingdom
In tho small circle of friends in wtiich
she has hitherto moved here she was re
garded as a Lady Vere de Vere, whose
high spirits auii haughty air would brook
no remonstrance to tier wishes. The
dmigbterof well-to-do parents, and, even
as a school girl, surrounded by ail atmos
phere of public applause anil universal
favoritism, by reason of her dramatic
talents, it is neither strange nor
uuiiatiirai that Mass Kingdon grew
Up the least bit vain or
conscious of her beauty and her power.
Her mother tried vainly to prevent her
adopting the stage as a profession, and
many of her relatives pleaded with her
not to become an actress. She stolidly
refused to niter her determination, how
ever, amt after doing some amateur work
in near-by towns, becamea member of the
Boston Theatre Company. That was in
IbS2. Her advancement was quite rapid.
Young Mr. Gould Is one of the three
Vlee Presidents of the Western Colon
Company. He is a director and large
stockholder in the Missouri Pacific, the
Misaouri. K ansas and Texas, t he Wabash.
St. I.oiiis and Paeltlo, the St. I.ouis anil
lion Mountain, and the Manhattan Ele
vated roads. Mr. Russell Sage t Id a re
porter a short time ago bow much he
envied Mr. .lay Gould in having a son
like George Gould.
“He is young and strong and capable,
and can take up the reins when bis lather
drops them.” Mr. Sage said, "while 1 have
no one lo come after me.”
A New York special to the Philadelphia
Tiroes says: George Gould was not mar
rb and lor the tirst time last evening, not
tout he is a w idower or a divorced hus
band oranythlng else iintoriiinnte or bad.
He ts and has been alnce his tirst mur
| rlage the husband of the once Mi-s Kdiih
lviogdon. I'he preliminary and really
conclusive wedding took place in London
upwardsof two months ago. It all came
about in this way: Nearly a year
ago Mr. Gould's attention' to Miss
Kingdon b>cnme the subject of
comment in theatrical society. Those al
ien’lons were not obtrusive, but they
i*A VA.NN'AH MOKJSIJSIj NEWS: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1886.
were earnest and showed that Gould
meant business. He did not content him
self wit i send eg extrsva ant b applets
to her across the fooilfgijts. but sent In
stead bis coupe to the stage door of Daly’s
every nigh’at tin* conclusion of the per
formance and Miss Kingdon r fie to her
home in it. He also gave her a piesent
now and then of costly jewelry.
Now there has been a third party to this
interesting romance from the beginning
and it may bo well to introduce her at
this point. Enter, then, Mrs. Kingdon,
morher and chaperon of the actress. The
friends of the latter credit the mother
with a good deal of shrewd figuring.
They say good bumoreUly that her expe
rt need eye detected Mr. Gould’s extra
ordinary merits and native worth before
the daughter did, conscious ns the latter
might he of her rare fortune in securing
tbe esteem oi a many millionaire. As
soon as it became known that tbe Daly
company was to go abroad George sent
bis valet over to London to procure apart
ments for his sweetheart. They were
furnished new, at groat expense, servants
employed to attend on the lady’s needs
during her etav in the metropolis, and a
fine carriage and span bought and placed
at her disposal.
After the company had been absent a
short time George followed and took up
quarters in the nicely furnished house,
but before that a wedding took p ace.
There are those who think they know
something about the matter who assert
tnat it was at this point that Mrs. Kmg
don’s clever management was marked by
success. At all pvents, a quiet wedding
occurred, at whieb Mr. George Gould and
Miss Edith Kingdon were regularly mar
ried. Several members of the Daly com
pany were cognizant of. if not present at
tbe event. Among these were Miss Dre
her, the bride’s particular chum; Mrs.
Gilbert, Mr. Janies Miss Ada
Reban and Mr. Skinner. Mr. Gould gave
his w lie a magnificent diamond brooch as
a wedding token.
Aflerafew weeks of honeymoon George
returned home and laced the musio. It
was all pianissimo and could not be heard
beyond tbe confines of the Gould house
hold, but it was very earnest. Whatever
regret the father may have had for bis
son’s course was soon cast aside or con
cealed and a plan adopted that should in
sure the avoidance of anything like scan
dal. The vvnole world would be agog over
elopement stories if George should allow
it to become understood that he bad se
cretly married abroad, a"d it was ac
cordingly determined to have anew cere
mony when Miss Kingdoc’s season with
Daly should be terminated.
Mllß. CEEVEI,AMD’S VOICE.
Not a Soloist But Has a Very Sweet,
Pure Voice.
Frorn the Detroit Free Preen.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter of the
Free Press met Prof. William Ludwig
Piutti, late of Wells College, Aurora, N.
Y. “Yes, I have a number of acquaintan
ces in this oity and Michigan,” he said,
“former pupils ot mine at Wells College.
By the way, the wile oi the President oi
the United States was one of mv pupils
about three years. She has the finest ap
preciation of anything musical, instru
mental or vocal. She did not study the
piano, but devoted considerable time to
vocal musio.”
“Then Mrs. Cleveland is a vocalist?”
“She has a very sweet, pure voice, but
she never made any effort to shine as a
soloist. She was one of the best members
of the college choral society, her value
being that she not only worked conscien
tiously and well as an individual, but she
inspired her companions with herown en
thusiasm, and tbe result was that we had
an excellent chorus. She was most thor
ough in all that site undertook as a pupil.
The Rev. Mr. Barr, of this eitv—you
know that he was at Aurora before be
came here —and 1 were speaking of Mrs.
Cleveland the other day, and he was tell
ing me ol some of the questions as to re
ligious doctrines and Biblical topics
wnicb 9fce used to ask. and it was really
remarkable, the erudition displayed in
her queries and the comments she made
thereon. She was just that way in
music.”
