PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.
His First and Only Love Affair and Its Sad
Termination.


Termination.
Mr.. Buchanan was regarded, almost at
the commencement of his Congressional
career, as confirmed bachelor, his first
and only love affair having had a sad
termination. The lady's name was Ann
Coleman, and she was the daughter Of
proud, wealthy citizen of Lancasterx
In 1920 Mr.. Buchanan was elected to
Congress, and the next long session was
continued far into July, when he rex
turned home in the Baltimore stage.
tired and dusty. After he had washed
and changed his clothes he started out
for a short stroll in his dresslng-gown
and slippers. Miss Grace Hubley, sis
ter-in-law to William Jennings, who re-
sided on the corner of South Queen
street, the terminus of the southwest
angle, happening to be sitting in the
parlor with ali the windows open on ac-
count of the heat, noticing that Mr.. Bu-
chanan had returned, went to the door,
and, passing the compliments OF the
evening, invited him III, with which he
complied, and they seated themselves
by large open window and engaged
in conversation. Not more than twenty
minutes thereafter an anonymous note
was handed in to Miss Coleman, stat
ing that Mr.. Buchanan was too tired to
call on his affianced, but that he could
call on and sit and chat with Miss Hub
ley.
On perusing the note Miss Coleman
was naturally somewhat troubled and
her father insisted upon seeing it. HIS
offended dignity was at once In arms
and within an hour the daughter was
placed in the family carriage and on the
way to Philadelphia to visit her sister,
Mrs. Judge Hemhill. Knowing the un-
relenting nature of her father, and
probably feeling hurt at the innuendo
thus anonymously conveyed to her,
although an intelligent and accom-
plished young lady and very much at
tached to her betrothed lover, she be-
came despondent and in her despair
took laudanum and was corpse on the
day following her reaching Phlladel-
pbia. Mr.. buchanan requested per-
mission to attend the funeral as chief
mourner, but was rudely refused. Being
a man of ardent affection and entirely
devoted to mis- betrothed, Mr.. Buchan-
ans mind was nearly unhinged at the
sudden calamity which had befalien
him, so much so, indeed, that ms
friends became uneasy and Judge
Franklin persuaded him to remain in
his family few days. He never forgot
his early love, so sadly terminated

for what may be termed dinner-table brio

in Philadelphia. She has great many
choice things, such as large platteaux,

finest collection Of dinner plates In the
