WASHINGTON, June 2.—Miss Folsom ar
rived safely shortly after 7:30 o'clock this
morning and was met by Col. 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,

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

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

pienteously with Thy grace and till him

Be very nigh to him in the midst of the

Day by dny may Thy law direct him and
Thy strength uphold him, and be thou
forever his sun und shield; and be gra

Thy daughter, even as Thou didst
favor the chosen Rebecca and many
noble women that have adorned the
world. May she indeed be a precious boon
of God to her husband to cneer and help

beauty of the Lord and shedding the sweet
influence of a Christian life upon the na

each of them Thy grace, that they
may well and truly weigh the unfailing

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

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE

of theirevening promenade and speculated
upon the emotions w hich are sup;awed to
fill the heart of tho bride and groom. On
the asphalt walks'near the portico of the
white house an assemblage of thoroughly
democratic und ragged urchins and slip
shod coloreo girls jostled the nobby look
ing young gentlemen und ladies in silk at
tire! 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

was thrown on the carnage, and their

cabinet oltieers to receive with her on New

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

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

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

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.

WEDDING PRESENTS.
The friends of the president ure wondcr-
i ing what to do about wedding presents.
I He has refused to accept anything in the
shape of n gift since he was elected, except | farmcriy a sdioeniYikci'.
I from his most intimate friends. Many .
( tilings that have been sent him have been I u,. rr o„<
1 returned to the donors with letters of
t hanks and regrets that they could not be
accepted, while other presents in the form
of curiosities have been sent over to the
1 National museum. But as the president
will probably not he married again during
his term of office, it is thought lie will not
i count this time, and will permit the bride
i to receive the usual courtesies. 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. She went to New York on Sat
urday morning to arrange the family resi
dence there, and this was an
other of her errands. it is
understood also that in addition
to this general gift the families of the cabi
net officers will make other presents to the
bride, und that many of the president’s in
timate friends here will follow their ex
ample. A democratic member of congress,
worth several millions of money and an in
timacy at the white house to make him

cure him*something handsome and appro
priate, and on Saturday there were an un
usual number of customers in tin.* jewelry
stores of t his city.
Jt is iminmted that there will be a short
1 wedding journey after all. It will be out

route will not be announced in advance of
the wedding.

THE EXECUTIVE MANSION DECORATIONS.
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.

Bichmond, Va., June 2.—The gauge of
the roads of the JiicJirnond and Danville
system, from Danville to Atlanta, Charlotte
to Augusta and from Salem to the com
pany's shops, (505 miles, was changed from
nve feel to four feet nine inches yesterday.
The work was commenced at 1 a. m. and
completed by 5 )>. in. and trains are now
running on regular schedules over the new
gauge. The accomplishment of this work
enables tlie Hiclimond and Danville com
pany to r n its trains between the
termini of its roads without transfer and
interchange traffic with all the roads of
the country without breaking I he bulk,
saving both time and money.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 2. The
change of gauge to the standard on all the
Florida railroads, except the Jacksonville
and St. Augustine and the South Florida
and Western system, was finished early to
day, with but little delay to trains. The
Macon line of the - Florida Railway and
Navigation company was also completed
with but little delay, the western division
having been changed on the 30th. The
division from Starke to Orange Heights
was finished. It is understood that the

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.
I Brown said that of sixty million people
of the United States not one million de-
I sired this 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.
! He reviewed the history of our former
i bankrupt laws to show that that class of
' national legislation had not worked well,
and was not desired by the people. He
I inalysi/cd the provisions of the pending
i hill tn show that thev would have an in-
j jurioiis effect on that class of people who
| buy goods on a credit and would diseriini-
| nate against them in favor of people who
I are very well able to take care of them-
' selviS. 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? They were usually
more prompt in their payments than city
mere hunts, yet country merchants
wee sometimes unavoidably behind in
Mwir payments for more than thirty days.
Tie people of the t’nited States would not
stand such an inequality as this hill. On
lx half of t In- p< ople whom he represented
Brown protested against its passage.
Th< Northern Pacific land forfeiture bill
was then discussed until 1 o'clock, when
flu; railway land taxation bill came up as
| the regular order.

viding for the repayment in proper cases
of the cost of surveying to purchasers and
excluding unsurveyed lands from taxation.*
