NM. Flora v. Richie, wife Of David
Richie, died Of typhoid fever Sun
day evening, September u, at the age
Of "a years, 8 months and 8 days.
The funeral occurred at the M. f.
church Tuesday afternoon. Mrs.
Richie was taken IN at La Crosse,
where the family were residing, and
at the advice OF her physician was
conveyed 10 Salina recently. The
change. however, did not benefit her.
Is sad indeed that she should be
stricken down in the spring time Of
life, but sadder that her little ones
should be deprived OF mothers love
and care. The deceased was q most
estimAble and amisble lady, and her
death will be deeply felt.

WAsiIiSk0pN, ID. e., May D.-The
city has W. all agog to-day oyer the
approacHph Gjp,ials of the President
but the romiiiitic deyotees OF society
are by 10 means satisfied with the bust
ness methods in which the Presiden,
has dealt with an affair OF the heart
and they think that he should have de
ferred his official dignity TO the more
imperative and acceptable demands OF
Cupid. This class is fairly beside itself
with annoyance that the veil OF secrecy
WAS di avn so closely that even the most
inquisitiye failed to penetrate it until
the bulletin announcing the date of the
marriage was given the public las,
night.
The criticism was freely advanced
that II WAS the Presidents duty Ia hay q
met and welcomed his iiance when she
arrived safely in the lower New York
bay. and that he should not have dcpu-
tisei Colonel Lamont to perform that
exquisite Office As n proxy. These and
kindred reflections are made, however,
in the kindcst spirit, but they neyerthe-
less serve 10 Illustrate the cDaction Of
Washington society, and the romance
which lives ever green In the hearts OF
even these who have passed the merid-
ian OF life and live only In the sweet
memories OF the past.
II Is understood by those who claim
20 know that n complete understanding
sIisted between the President aud Miss
Folsom, and that, therefore, the bride
elect was fully prepared to be governed
by his views Of the surrounding circum-
stances, which could only bc ictc rmin.d
nj the very last moment. Many Sena-
