THE PRESIDENT’S MARRIAGE
CELEBRATED AT THE WHITE
HOUSE, WASHINGTON, V. CY
The Presiilent and Miss Frances Folsom
3Iarried.-A Quiet Wedding,
President Cleveland was married at the
White House.on Wednesday evening, June 2d,
tr Miss Frances Folsom. The recent death of
a relative of Miss Folsom changed the original
plans for the wedding and invitations were
limited to a few of the near relatives and mem
bers . of the , cabinet .. . and , t) etr ■ wive . . Rov R. . n .. •
Sunderland, of the Fust Presbyterian church,
of Washington, officiated. The ceremony was
followed by a collation, and the wedding in all
" ^ “ ls P 1 , "" . , unostentatious. ,
Miss r Folsom armed at New York from Europe
the xJ^nO. previous week on the Antwerp steamer
She was met on the steamer at
the ., < l' ,arantlne . statl0n by C 0 * 011 '' 1 Dan T Lani0D , '
wlth a revenue cutter and landed at one ot the
uptown piers on the North river. Her coming
by an Antwerp steamer was so little regarded
as within possibilities that only two of the
York morning papers and not any of the
graphic repoterrs had the news. The
generally were -watching British
liners.
The long agony is over. At last the public
in possession of the great stcret.
breallies easier, both because all mystery is
last cleared away from this absorbing
and because the happy event has occurred
instead of at the home of the Folsoms, as
hitherto repoited. President Cleveland,
companied by Miss Cleveland, went to
York Sunday night. On Monday he
the decoration day exercises. Tuesday
ing the presidential party left on an early
for Washington. Miss Folsom, her mother
several other relatives came to Washington
(he same train. The Folsoms were the guests
of Secretary Whitney until the wedding,which
occurred at 8 o’clock Wednesday evening,
the White House. Only a few friends
relatives, the members of the cabinet
their families were present at the ceremony.
After the marriage there was a reception

officers and invited guests, The date
set was June 16th, but it was moved up

been very annoying to both parties. This
the first wedding ever had in the White House.
It is thought perfectly proper that Miss Folsom
should be married there as Mr. Cleveland
her guardian as well as the groom elect.
THE STORY OF THE COURTSHIP.
Tlie president was married in the blu-> partoi
where, Folsom just a trifle over twelve months ago,
Miss stood with Miss Cleveland to re
ceive alone of her Saturday afte nion recep
tion. A lady, in describing ihe scene, brought
back which vividly bright a little incident clever which occurred, Bayard in
the and Kate
figured. Someone, looking at Miss Folsom,
said :
“She is a pretty girl, Miss Bayard, don’t you
think ?”
“Yes,” she replied, “and soon to be Prcsi
dun Cleveland’s ________ wife.”
Tlie same lady la prominent society leadei)
went on to sav :
The relations between her father ami Mr
Cleveland were so intimate that in the F-dsom
household the president, was treated just, like a
member of the family, anil Miss much Folsom esteemed re
ranled him the same as a
amily friend. When Mr. Folsom died, and
Mr. Cleveland lucunc his daughter’s guti(ban,

Hunger—it could hardly become ,o —but winn
s tlie years passed and Miss Folsom, from a
arel ss, thoughtless child, developed tided:.' in o a
oinking w man, and learned of the
with which the president had guarded her in

To him she was nothing but a chi d. He
\atcned her develop end expand and become

dim, unconscious way, realized that the liltit

arms "as now a woman frill ’ iih a woman’s heart

awakening sometimes needed, audit came in

of the engagement should never be made pub¬

she went. This was why the matter was kepi
so secret, and although tlie letters which the
president received from Miss Folsom left no
fioub: that she would eventually that fact become should his
wife, still he decided the
not be made public until Miss Folsom had re¬

remained in ignorance until an¬
