Lumom. Miss Folsom and party occupied President Huberts’ private car. There were very few persons at the Baltimore and Potomac de pot when the train arrived. While Col. Lament was hurrying down the platform VIr. Benjamin Folsom stepped out on the rear end of the car. Miss Folsom present ly alighted. She was dressed in black and wore a wrap of the same color, but trimmed with white and black ribbons and I lack kid gloves. She is of medium size and her manner was SHY AND RESTLESS. She was escorted by Col. Lamont to a carriage and driven direct to the white bouse with Mrs. Folsom and Mrs. Rogers, of Syracuse. There was a slight rain full ing when the train arrived. CLOSED TO VISITORS. The white house was entirely closed to visitors to-day and the usual afternoon re ception by the president was omitted, inside all was bustle and confusion in prep aration for the wedding. Several express wagons unloaded numerous packages of various sizes at the main entrance, and they were at once removed from sight. Some were addressed to the preside nt, some to Miss Folsom, some to Colonel Lamoni, and one to Mrs. Grover Cleve land. ' Most of them were undoubtedly wedding presents. THE ARRIVAL OF THE GUESTS. About 6:30 o'clock the wedding guests began to arrive, their carriages rolling up to the main door of the mansion througn the great iron gates on Pennsylvania ave nue. The tirst arrival was Secretary Lamar, at 6:37. He was closely followed by P.ev. Dr. Sunderland and wife, and during the next few minutes there came in quick suc cession Postmaster-general Vilas and wife, W. S. Bissell, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, Secretary Manning and wife. Removing their wraps in the state dining room, all the guests proceeded to the blue room where they were received by Miss Rose Cleveland. Following is a complete list of those present: Mrs. Folsom, mother of the bride, Rev. W. N. Cleveland, the president’s brother, Miss Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt, the presi dent’s sisters, Thomas F. Bayard, secretary of state, Daniel Manning, secretary of the treasury, Mrs. Manning, W. M. C. Endi- cott, secretary of war, Mrs. Endicott, Wm. C. Whitney, secretary of the navy, Mrs. Whitney, AVm. F. Vilas, postmaster-general, Mrs. Vilas. L. Q. C. Lamar, secretary of the interioi, Mrs. Lnmont, Beni. Folsom, of Buffalo, N. Y-, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, of Seneca Falls, N. Y., Mrs. C'adman and Miss Huddlestone, of Detroit, Mich., Mr. und Mrs. Harmon, of Boston, relatives of the bride, Mias Nel son, of New York, Mr. W. 8. Bissell. of Buffalo, the president’s former law part ner, Dr. and Mrs. Byron Sunderland, Attorney General Garland, although in vited, was riot present. For a few minutes the guests chat ted gaily, but the conversation was quickly suspended ut 7:15 p. m. when a se lected orchestra from the marine band stationed in the corridor struck up the fa miliar strains of THE WEDDING MARCH from Mendelsohn's “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and all eyes were turned to the doorway to catch the first glimpse of the coming bride and groom. Starting from the western corridor on the upper floor the president came slowly down tiic western staircase wit h his bride leaning on his arm. They were unaccompanied, even the bride’s mother awaiting her with the othei guests. Passing through the central cur- rider THE BRIDE AND GROOM entered the blue room und took a position near its southern wall, which was com pletely hidden from sight by a mass of nodding palms, tropical grasses and an endless variety of choice flowers. Crystal chandeliers poured floods of mellow radi ance upon the scene, and the colors of the massive banks of scarlet begonias and royal jaquminot roses mingling with blue and silver tints of the frescoed wall and ceiling gave a warn: and glowing tone to the whole brilliant interior. The delicate ivory shade of THE BRIDE’S WEDDING GOWN found an exquisite setting in masses of crimson roses immediately beyc ml. The president was in full evening dress, with turn-down collar, white lawn neck-tie and white enamelled studs. A hush fell upon the assemblage as Dr. Sunderland stepped forward to ins position fronting the wed ding couple, with Rev. William Cleveland, the president’s brother, at his left hand. In a distinct tone of voice and with delib erate utterance the doctor BEGAN THE SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL WED DING SEP. VICE as follows: “For as much as we are as sembled to observe the holy rite of mar riage, it is needful that we should seek the Messing of the Great God, Our Father, whose institution it is, and, therefore. I beseech you now to follow me with rever end hearts in prayer to him. Almighty and everlasting God, father of our spirits, framer of our bodies, giver of every good and perfect gift, Thou who canst see the end front the beginning, who knowest what is best for us, Thy children, and has appointed the holy rite of marriage to be sacredly observed throughout all genera tions, regard now, we beseech The.-, thy servant, our chief magistrate.

Rev. Mr. Cleveland then pronounced the following benediction : “God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve and keep you. The Lord mercifully fill you with all temporal and all spiritual blessings and , grant that you may so live together in this world that in the world to come you may live the life everlasting. Amen.” THE CONGRATULATIONS. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Mrs. Folsom, showing traces of deep emotion, was the first to tender her congratulations to the newly married pair. She was fol lowed by MissCleveland, Rev. Mr. Cleve land and other relations and friends in turn. While the congratulations were in progress the band, under the leadership of Prof. Sousa, performed the bridal chorus and march from Lahrens, and to this i music THE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE led the way into the stately east room. 1 The adornments of this noble h'alj were in keeping with its majestic proportions and its ample space and brilliant illumination afforded an opportunity for a fitting dis- ! play of the Indies’ toilettes. THE LADIES’ COSTUMES. The bride wore an enchanting wedding dross cif ivory satin, simply garnished on u high corsage with India muslin, crossed in Grecian folds and carried in exquisite falls ■ of simplicity over the petticoat. The orange blossom garniture, commencing upon the veil in a superb coronet, is con tinued throughout the costume with art istic skill. Her veil was of tulle, about five yards in length, and completely enveloped ner, falling to the edge of the petticoat in front and extending the entire length of a full court train. She carried no flowers und wore no jewelry except an engage ment ring containing a sapphire and two diamonds. - Mrs. Folsom wore a superb dress of vio let satin with garniture in white faille, with crvst.vli/ed violet drops in pendants evc-rvwbe re.

The gates were I,EFT WIDE OPEN, and by 0 o’clock the crowd bad swollen to several hundred, and a score or more of newspaper men held a point of vantage alongside the portico. The successive ar rivals of guests were watched with inter est, and tiieir names were whispered by the more knowing to their companions. Suddenly the strains of the wedding march floated through the open windows, and there was a general exclamation from the outside crowd, “the service has begun.” Then there came a tantalizing hush within tho walls which was soon ended by the strains j of the bridal chorus from baliengrin und it was thereby known that the ceremony was ! over. One by one the lights sprung up nt 1 the windows and the great burners on the I portico cast their effulgence over the asphalt.' The scene resem bled a summer night’s festival, and the 1 crowd gave itself up to tiie enjoyment of the delightful music. IN THE SUPPER ROOM. There was no formal order observed in the supper room, but the collation was served and the guests sat at small tables or slowly promenaded the room as they discussed the menu and chatted over the event of the evening. Elegantly designed souvenairs of satin boxes containing dainty slices of bridal cake and cuch one I bearing the hand-painted monogram “C. , F.” were received with great admiration. A CHANGE OF DRESS. While the orchestra was playing one of its happiest selections and the guest gath ered uoout the tables the bride quietly I slipped away to her room and changed her wedding dress for a heavy silk traveling dress. She then returned to her company and was soon afterwards joined by the president, who had in the meantime changed his dress suit fora traveling cos tume. This was about .3:30 and the presi dent and his bride said A HASTY GOOD-BYE to their friends and left the house through a private exit from the red room into the south grounds'. A closed carriage awaited them, and as thev entered and the horses started oil, A SHOWER OF KICK was thrown on the carnage, and their liiends waved their final “godspeed” from the rear porch. It was expected t hat the president would try to slip away unob served, and in order to prevent it a num ber of newspaper men stationed themselves near the si 11.1thwest entrance to the grounds with carriages convenient to follow the president ir. ease lie should make his exit by that gate.

It Will lie recalled thill Miss Cleveland in vited only the Indies of the families of cabinet oltieers to receive with her on New Year’s 1 >uy, not even asking Mrs. Hhcriiiun, wife of the president of the senate, or Mrs. Carlisle, wile of the speaker. Miss Cleve land gave as a reason for this the mourn ing for Vice-President Hendricks, and Haul she regarded the members of the cabinet and their families as part of the president’s official household. That was very diplo matic., but it did not satisfy. Every rose has a thorn, you know. SATISFACTION AMONG SENATORS. Now that the injunctions imposed on senators and congressmen by political poli cy have been removed, their tongues wag regarding the white house marriage like a tall and slender, with a complexion whose roseate paleness tells of perfect health more accurately than a more vivid bloom might do. Her features are line, the broad brow well formed and shaded by thick loose waves of chestnut luur. The mist full red lips, disclosing two rows of pearly teeth, white, transparent, and even. Her eyes arc lovely, of a dark transparent sapphire blue that looks almost black un- coin- ! d-T the shadow of the thick long cyc-lashe". A great attraction to the face is tile deli cate arch of the eyebrows, which are as dark and perfectly defined ns though drawn in India ink. Although the distinguished bride’s countenance is remarkable for its blending of feminine sweetness with high intellectual charm. There art elements in it of nobility and intelligence that will make it most striking tvlien girlish delicacy gives place to woman ly strength and full development. Her maimers are exquisitely natural and winning and her tact unerring. Tu be coming the lady of the white house, she will fill the position to perfection, and that deHuitc the fact that she will be the young est lady that lias ever presided there. She will lie a worthy successorto the last young hostess of the white house, the beuutinl cabinet officer's door bell during a crisis ill I state uftairs. Guarded ns to their smiles 1 before, they all want to get before the pub lic as soon as possible. Senator Hearst is suid to have secluded himself in the pre paration of a eulogy to the matrimonial tie that will eclipse the recent remarkable tribute to his deceased predecessor. Senator Miller. Senator Edmunds opened his jaw like a hydraulic clam to-day and declared I that he regarded the coining wedding ns u : very proper act. He saw no social objec tion to the bride coming to the white house, and he made the neat legal point - that it, was the home of the president and I not of the bridegroom. Nearly every member of the senate and a large proportion of the congressmen have sent letters of congratu lation. The number of private cards that have been left at the door of tho executive manshift with the left hand upper corner turned down cannot be computed. They wotild fill a clothes basket—if you know hotrttrge that is, and every housekeeper does. The stationers, by the way. are much chagrined that there will not be an engraved invitation. Estimates have been received from nearly all the prominent jewelers ami stationers in tins country asking the contract. Instead, the presi- t dent sent out u simple note, in his own I handwriting. What a rebuke to the pomp and show of modern marriages. strengthened him in his advocacy of the measure. It was not a proposition to build up one honest industry at the expense of another honest industry, but to build up one honest industry at the expense of a ... ,.,u ... ,n i fraudulent and dishonest industry. It was i ^d* u, Y ^ c \.^ioS ,t , h wr m ^vr r'T in fnv,,r of truth and ,iKiiinst falsehood. On motion of Bench, of New York, an amendment was adopted inserting tho word “knowingly" in the clause imposing a penalty upon every person who pur chases or receives for sale any oleomarga rine from any manufacturer who has not paid the special tax. Hammond attacked the bill, mid espe cially the informer section, which, he said, would place the marshal or his deputy in every community in the country. He would not for ids right arm vote for such a measure. O’Hara, of North Carolina, was not an advocate of oleomargarine, and every gen tleman who had spoken in favor of the bill had said that it was in the Interest of the poor man. Where are the petitions of the poor man ? Where was his voice asking that, tiiis bill should puss? He had just re turned from his state and not a single voice in North Carolina lind ever asked for any legislation on this subject. The poor class , , ii • . i i i Vi icaismuoii on mis suujeei,. i uc iuiur euwis, ^‘iY.YfmX.in.Ymm Jf™'**™ !l* ! <*» needed as much protection from butter made from milk of swill-fed cows as from oleomargarine; but the crowning piece of infamy lii the bill was in the 19th section, which proposed to give a pre mium to every spy and informer in the land. The passage of the bill would add more officers, marshals, attorneys and henchmen to tie employed and paid from the hard earned wages of an already over burdened people. The hill was not pro tection ; it was destruction, and, as such, must work a detriment to the working classes. McMillnn, of Tennessee, moved to strike out the clause which provides that half of the fines and penalties imposed by this act shall go the informer. The house would not in his judgment do itself justice if it enacted such an obnoxious piece of legis lation. The motion was agreed to; 76 to 23. ness and dignity lent such a charm in the old days before the war to the presidential entertainments in Washington and to the hours of the presidential vacations at Bed ford Springs in Pennsylvania. To turn from a mental contemplation of the charms of Miss Folsom to those of Miss Adele Grant is like exchanging a view of a Parian statuette for that of a figure in Dresden china. The radiant girl that is soon to become the loveliest countess in the English peerage is a perfect specimen of the most brilliant type of American beauty, joining to featim s of artistic regu larity n complexion of cream and roses, large, velvety, dark brown eyes and a pro fusion of rippling dark lmir. She is a glow ing rose-bud from the Transatlantic “rose bud garden of girls,” while Miss Folsom more resembles u half-unfolded lily. LABOR TROUBLES.

The mem bers of the cabinet will present Mrs. C-leve- * land a solid silver dinner service, and Mrs. Whitney has been delegated to make the seleelion.

The decorations of the executive man sion to-night were of an elaborate charac ter, and in the language of one of the oldest employes, “it never presented a handsomer appearance.” Tne various public gardens in the city and many private conservatories here and in other cities contributed their choicest plants and flowers to lend their beauty and fra grance to the scene. Of course, the blue room, where the ceremony was performed, occupied the principal attention of the decorators. Their work was certainly well done. It was transformed into a verita ble bower of beauty. THE FIRST OF THE KIND. Other weddings there have been at the T el.; VESTS LEAVE. The guests began to leave the white house soon .tc : the president’s departure. Tho first t » leave was Secretary Bayard, who smilingly stood on the portico for some time before his carriage; drove up. The carriage for Dr. and Mrs. Sunderland was the next to drive up, and v.a-. immediately followed by that of Secretary and Mrs. Manning. r l he secretary did not look very well. He ap peared rather weak and seemed hardly able to walk. He was supported to bis carriage by Postmaster-General Vilas and Mr. Bissell. The other guests lingered awhile and the orchestra continued to play enlivening music until nearly 10 o’clock, by which time all of the guests had taken their departure. A crowd of curious sight seers remained near the mansion until preparations were made to close it for the night. THE WEDDING PRESENTS were many, but they were not exhibited, nor will any list be furnished. This is in deference to the wishes of the president. The groom’s gift to his bride was a hand some diamond necklace composed of a single string of brilliants. The presents from the cabinet officers and their wives were mostly articles of jewelry, though there were several beautiful presents of silverware. CHAT ABOUT THE WEDDING.

After the routine morning business the Northern Pacific forfeiture bill was placed j before the senate and then informally laid aside to permit Brown to address the sen- I nte on the bankruptcy bill.

It was desired • by the bankers and brokers and by the I creditor class generally, as well as by the | lawyers. It was a good bill for those, hut ! a had bill for the remainder of the people. !

The bill would permit the putting ! in" involuntary bankruptcy of persons who should be thirty ck.y* behind :n their • payments. What would our country mer- ' chai.ts say to this?
