WASHINGTON, March There has been
renewal of the many rumors of Cleveland's
marriage. The talk is that he has been too
hard worked in Albany to devote any atten-
ton to matrimonial enterprises and for six
months he expects to be so busy
setting his administration upon its
feet that all such selfish thoughts
as marriage will have to be laid
aside, but during the summer and autumn
the gossips say he will suddenly and quickly
call a creature to his side, whose title Of the
first lady of the land none will dispute. Early
in life Mr.. Cleveland suffered great disap-
pointment in
HIS MATRIMONIAL HOPES,
death taking from him a chosen bride.
Though it is said he has vowed never to
Cleveland's woman-loving, though unsenti
mental disposition. Those who know him
best say the early bereavement would be no
barrier to his marriage, should he meet
person that pleased him and prosper in his
suit according to the small takers
here, who take more interest
in Cleveland as society leader
than in Cleveland as president. A per-
son has already been found, wooed and won.
The lady is Miss Frances c. Folsom, daughter
of Mr.. Cleveland's former partner. She is
described as remarkably handsome and in
telligent lady of % years. Many of the la
dies of Washington have already taken it for
granted that

is to be the mistress of the White house next
winter. In the meantime the presidents sis
ter will sustain the social end of his admin
istration. There are four ladies in his fam
lily, either of whom can well do the honors
of the household. Mrs. Hoyt, his
eldest sister in this country, has had
much experience in the executive man
sion at Albany, and is lady of pleasant
address and good attain ments. Her manner
is plain and frank, and though she does not
disregard forms and conventionalities, she
places them as much in the background
as possible. The simplicity-loving Democratic
opportunity of a quarter of a century and
throng the noble rooms and

to shake the hand of Demo cratic president
will find nothing to complain of in Mrs.

Miss r. E. Cleveland, the presidents
maiden sister, in the language of one who
knows the Clevelands, sis the best man in
the family" Thrown upon her own
resources for a livelihood, she be-
came school teacher, and her
native force has developed into marked abill-
ties. Self-reliant and thoughtful, good
public speaker, quick conversationalist and
a woman of intellectual power, she will be an
ornament to her brothers. household. Cleve-
lands eldest sister has for twenty years been
q missionary in Ceylon, where Arab Pasha,
Egypt's false military leader, is confined in
luxury by the British. Her two daughters,
Mary and Carrie Hastings, have been edu-
Gated in this country by their uncle Grover.
They are bright young ladies, have been
much at the executive mansion in Albany
and will doubtless be seen at the White house
after Lent.
