LIFE OF MISS FOLSOM.
A True sketch or The Heroine Of tho
Coming BIissful Event.

Until sunday last the Buffalo Courier
has confirmed no mention Of President
Cleveland's engagement 10 Miss Folsom.
That paper Is supposed 10 speak for the
President officially. Hence the following
editorial article published sunday was read
in Buffalo with great interest,"
MISS FOlS0a.
Now that official announcement has been
given Of the coming marriage OF President
Cleveland and Miss Folsom on June I'd. the
Courier, which has refrsined from adding
70 the unlimited and cruel preliminary gos-
ZIP on the subject. finds II proper to say q
lew words concerning the approaching
event and It's heroine. The leading facts
in the early life Of the President bride
elect have been so often rehearsed IN print
Il late that IL would be superiluOus again
10 90 into details concerning them had not
innumerable errors crept into these unau-
thorized sketches.
Miss Folsom. whose Christian name,
by the way. is not Francis, but FRANK,
was born In the year 1864. ard will be
% years old on the 21st Of July. She was
born In the house No. 1CS Edward street,
ouposite the schooLyard OF the orphan
asylum. As a child she attended Mmc.
Bfecker's French kindergarten. Later
the family moved from Edward street to
The house now occupied by Mr.. George J.
LetcbwOrth, in franklin street. At the
time ~ Mr.. Folsom's death. In 1875, they
were living at the Tilt House. IL will be
remembered that Mrs. and Mss FJlsom
were in Medina when this sad accident
happened. After the funeral they went
10 Medina, where Mrs. Harmon, Mrs. Fol-
SONS widowed mother. resided. The
Harmon family had good social position
and owned considerable valuable real es-
tate. including milling property. While
In Medina Miss Folsom was pupil at
the high school.
Returning to Buffalo In q few years,
Frank entered The Central School, and she
and her mother boarded with Mrs. Jona-
than Mayhew. One OF the Central School
teachers has said Of her that Frank learned
very readily and seemed 10 remember
equally well, and that she "aiwayx put a
little Of herself into her recitations."
While enrolled as q pupil al the Central
her name used often 10 get transferred to
the boys lists, and so, In order that II should
sound less masculine, she temporarily In
serted the initia. letter G.. after Frank.
calling herself Frank Clara. This ex-
plains why her name now often erroneous
ly appears With the initial G. She was
regular attendant OF the Central Presbyte-
fian church. OF which she Is q member.
During part Of the time she was pursuing

OF pleasure TO the whole city aud 10 MANY

not have been bad but that a number Of
our enterprising citizens subscribed 10 a

the enterprise here. Without this fund
De would not have attempted an ascension.
