BACHELOR CLEVELAND.
Rumor that He Will Marry the Daughter OF
the Late Oscar Folsom.

Albany IN. " Special.
Society gossips here and in Buffalo continue to
indulge in sDeculations as TO who will be mistress
OF the White House under the new regime. Rumor
has had Mr.. Cleveland betrothed to several
ladies, but every engagement of marriage in
which he has been mentioned has has been stout
ly denied by friends of either the lady or him
self. The feminine leaders in society, however,
give more credit to the reports than the denials
and matchmaking for the President-elect goes
on as briskly as ever. OF course Mr. Cleveland
is considered TO be "a good CATCH" and many
parents who enjoy his acquaintance take every
opportunity to have their manageable daughters
appear to best advantage in his presence.
During the social season just closed the Presi-
dentelect received countless invitations to din
ners, receptions, teas and parties, and society
strained itself to honiZe him, but the greater
number of the invitations were declined, with
thanks, and many paterfamilias and schemng
mamma were disappointed. The hopes Of some
fascinating young ladies were also crushed

is said they will not attend the grand ball.
This report OF Mr. Clevelands attentions to
Miss Folsom is credited by number of his
friends. He has always manifested great inter
est in the young lady. 1t is said that few
wears since Mr.. Cleveland paid his attentions to
Mrs. Folsom 1t was rumored then that he
would marry his old partners widow but her
avowed prejudice against second marriages soon
stilled the tongues of the gossips- With the
Cabinet makers and matrimonial mathematics
the Presidentelect has certainly had lively
time Of it recently. Perhaps when he has finally
settled upon his Cabinet, and become familiar
with the executive duties of the country's execu-
tive, he will turn to the sentimental side of ife
and select helpmate who will share with him
the honors Of his great position.

A Rare and Valuable Book.

At the recent sale of the Lyston Park library,
in England, Mr. Quaritch, the London book
seller, purchased Latin Psalter, published in
1859 by Peter Scheffer, and which he is willing to
dispose of for the sum of S27, $50. This seems an
enormous price, but the bbliophilist will scarce
~ think so. The book is the first and almost
the only early example of printing in two colors.
as the art was almost Immediately lost, and has
only been renewed, but to a much inferior de-
gree of excellence in the present century. More
over, of the seven or eight extant copies all are
in public libraries, excepting this, and Lord
Spencers copies, and it is, therefore, the last
copy of the book that is likely ever to come into
market.

Inventor EdisOn's Wealth.

How much is Edison wor tn? I dc

pie would call rich man, even in
these modern days. He has regula
annual income from the Wester .

in royalties on old patents. He is the
principal stockholder in five manufac-
turing companies that bear his name,
with an aggregate Of $500. 600 capital,
and all of them paying large dividends
every six months. He has put $50, ,OOC
in cash into the Downtown Electrical

three children into fat on Eighteenth

As oil marriages are not made In

the realisation of new. factors which
blend two souls with but a single
thought. saw an old gentleman a
few days ago who, by his benevolent
appearance, might pass for the grand
father Of many children, stand up in
the parlor of Hurst's Hotel with q mid
.dls-aged spins.er, who certainly had
long since ceased to feel the burning
passion of youth, while the marriage
service made them one. II did not
appear to be case of an o,d mans
darling, so the ancient bridegroom
was questioned about the matter by
the curious clerk. They had registered
that morning from Godfrey. Illinois,
and were very calm and deliberate
about the ceremony. There was no
trousseau, no timidity on the part Of
the bride, and the groom expressed
his satisfaction when the contract was
completed by sigh of relief. "You
sec," he said to the clerk, f"me and
Ellen owned some property together,
and the only way we could settle the
trouble was to get married, and there

Buckwheat Cakes I'm Summer,

While a downtown flour merchant
watched an cmploye load truck with
buckwheat flour, the other day, he
said: "You would hardly expect to
see such large sale of buckwheat as
that at this time of the year, would
you? The fact is, the use of buckwheat
is increasing. The restaurants here
serve buckwheat cakes the year around.
though it strikes countryman as
rather odd to see buckwheat in warm
weather. The increased use of this
flour is due to the great improvements
in its manufacture within the last
three or four years. When | was a
boy the straw with the grain in the
head was piled on the barn floor and
pounded with flail. The straw was
then fOrked off and the grain swept
into piles. When the wind was blow.
ing briskly the grain was thrown into
the air with shOyelS, SO that the chaff
could be blown away, and then the
grain was ground between the old
fashioned millstones. The bran was
separated from the meal by sitting
with wire-bOttomed sieve. The first
improvement was made when silk
boiling reel was substituted for wire
cloth sieve. Aftera great many years
an old York state miller concluded
that the meal would have less shuck
or bran in it if the shuck could be re-
moved from the berry before il was
ground. To do that no run the grain
through a series of corrugated rollers
which simply cracked open the shuck
nj allAxunI hn Enrna1c tn Hrnn
The broken shucks and kernals were
separated by screens, and thereafter
buckwheat flour was about as white as
any other. The demand for it in
creased rapidly, but it was not quite
perfect, because the fine fuzz and dirt
adhering to the outside of the berry
fell through the screen with the
kernels after the shuck had been bro
ken open by the rollers of the shucker.
To get rid of this it was necessary to
polish each berry of the grain sep
arately before it was shucked. The
machine for doing this has just been
put on the market. 1t consists of a
cast-iron cylinder, say three feet long
and one foot in diameter, which re-
wolves within jacket made of steel
wire-cloth. The cylinder is covered
with square knobs a half inch large,
which project to within fraction of
an inch of the jacket. The cylinder
Is set whirling at the rate of $50 rev.
olutions a minute, and the grain after
passing over the screen to get the
straw out falls down between the
jacket and the cylinder. There it goes
around and around, knocking against
the knobs and jacket, An upward cur
rent of air carrying off the dust until
it falls out below as clean as hound 8
tooth, then it slides over Il magnetized
plate to remove any trace of metal be-
fore going to the shucker. That makes
what we call perfect buckwheat flour.
Most millers have had to relearn their
trade within the last five years on ac-
count of the improvements introduced
in the process of manufacture, but in
no branch of the business has the
progress of improvement been more
marked than i'm the handling of buck :
wheat. ."-NcW YORK. Sun.

Novel Interior Decorations.

"Interior decoration has been great.
ly affected by electric lighting" said
G. L. Clarke, formerly EdIson's first
assistant at Menlo Park, as he and q
reporter entered the large showroom
of a mandatory ohalectrical appara-
tus. "Look at those globes and you
will see shapes which were never
thought of before electric lights were
introduced.
The reporter looked in the direction
IN which Mr.. Clarke pointed and saw
many rows of glass globes of various
shapes, but none resembling those us
ually seen on gasiixtures. Some were
formed like lilies, some like bluebells,
and those with many variations
in color and size met the eye in large
numbers.
These shapes have been develop
ed," continued the electrical engineer,
"by electric lighting. Electric lights
hang downward, and globes forned
like these end OIL the fixtures most
gracefully, the curved rod to which
the lamp is attached being regarded
as the stem and the globe as the flow
er. You will see this principle
carried out in many of the fixtures
overhead"
Looking up, the reporter saw -sus-
pended from rods running across the
ceiling hundreds of fixtures. Especially
noticeable were some brass chandeliers
which had been imported from Lon
don. They were worked IN beautiful
designs of leafy, dropping branches,
with glass blossoms enclosing the
electric lamps. Near by was chan
delier of crystals ornamented with
jeweled glass. Mr.. Clarke turned on
a switch, and in a moment the room
was brilliantly illuminated. The cur
rent had run along the rods, and the
electric lamps were lighted. There
was a wealth of color shimmers
of blue, orange, carmine, and
yellow-and many tints reflected from
brass and crystal. The finest fixture
was an enormous panel Of brass set in
the wall. 1t represented trellis work
and vines. In addition to the colOred
globes, the glass on the lamps them.
selves was colored. AS result, many
colored lights shimmered among the
leaves. Another handsome fixture,
not for lighting, but merely for decor.
ating purposes. was a center piece fol
a ceiling. 1t was a large semi-globe
of opaque substance, studded with
jeweled glass. This was placed ovel
a cluster of electric lamps. When the
latter were lighted, the jeweled glass
glowed. This fixture is designed
for q room with looking-glass frieze
which will reflect tho glow.-Neu
