WEDDING PRESENTS.
The friends of the president are wondering
what to do about wedding presents. He
has refused to accept anything in the shape
of gift since he was elected, except from
his most intimate friends Many things
that have been sent him have been re.
turned to the donors with letters of thanks
but with regrets that they could not be &C.
cepted, while other presents in the form
of curiosities have been sent over to the
National museum, but as the president will
probably not be married again during his
term of Office it lis thought he will not count
this time and will permit the bride to receive
the usual courtesies The members
of the cabinet will present Mrs.
Cleveland solid silver dinner service,
and Mrs. Whitney has been delegated to
make the selection. She went to New York
Saturday morning to arrange the family
residence there, and this was another OF hel
errands 1t is understood also that in addi-
ton to this general gift the families of the
cabinet officers will make other presents ia
the bride, and that many of the presidents
intimate friends here will follow this ex.
ample Democratic member of congress,
with several millions of money and an init.
mate of the White House, to make him
happy has sent to friend in Phila.
delphia to secure him something hand.

was an unusual number of customers in the

insurance commissioner OF New Hamp-
shire that since the withdrawal OF the
foreign fire underwriters from that
state, four stock companies having an
aggregate capital OF 1926, 1000, twelve
state and two town mutuals have
been organized; making in all five
stock companies with a total capital
OF $1,O25, 900, fifteen state and nine
teen town mutual. The commissioner
says he has not changed his mind in
regard to the valued policy law. He
still regards it as an exceedingly un-
wise measure.

ladies shown after state dinner when the
gentlemen were enjoying a cigar down
stairs The married presidents never used
the bed room Arthur and Cleveland chose
to occupy it. Presidents Grant Hayes and
Garfield, with their wives, used the opposite
rooms, which face the south and look out on
the large grounds on that side of the man
sion. Superstition has had not little to do
with this wedding. It is a secret, treas

slept the night before his Inauguration with
a piece of wedding cake under his pillow.
This traditional charm was tried at the
Arlington hotel, and the inspiring genius was

the cake It was white cake with white icing,
and it was safely put aside by the provident
lady until the morning of March 3, 1885;
when she handed it enclosed in small box

THE BLUE PARLoR.
The blue parlor, in which the wedding
ceremony will occur, was decorated by Tiff
fanny of New York, and reopened in the win
ter of 1882. Arobin's egg blue is used for
walls, furniture covering and window shad-
ings, but it looks green by gas light, which
is the light always used on state occasions
The ceiling is silvered over a beautiful de-
sign, silver and crystal brackets on the
walls, having gas burners, which, as
we'll as those in the handsome
center chandeliers of crystals are
always lighted at ceremonials. Although
the east room was used for Nellie Grants
wedding, the blue parlor is the room in
which the most formal and ceremonious
social events usually happen at the White
house. The wedding OF John Quincy Adams
son in 1926. while his father was president
and of President Hayes niece, Miss Platu
occurred in this room. The blue bed room
which the president and his wife will occupy
is the same from which the last two brides

Some months ago Attorney General Hahn

sion, the Hastings & Dakota, and the
Saint Paul & Sioux City railroal COM
panies, to bring the lands owned oy them
under taxation under pain OF forfeiture OF
charter. When organized these companies
received large grants ofland from the state.
After building portions OF the road origin
ally contemplated by the management,
and operating the same for some years, the
three companies first mentioned sold
out to the Chicago Milwaukee q Saint
Paul company, and the last mentioned to
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
Omaha. The roadbed, right OF way and
rolling stock constituted the sale. the lands
remaining in the hands OF the original COM
panies and exempt from taxation.
The Southern Minnesota and Southern
Minnesota Extension companies decided
the lands in question over to the Mllwau.
kee company few days ago, and the at
torney general withdrew the suit, as the
end for which it was brought had been at
tanned. The ST. Paul & Sioux City COM
pany, however argued the case before
the court, and that tribunal has rendered
decision in it's favor. The syllabus OF
the decision says: This court has iurisdic-
the forfeiture OF the charter OF
a corporation. The respondent formerly
the Minnesota Valley Railway company
did not forfeit it's corporate franchise
nor any of it's franchises except such as
pertained to that particular line or branch
by failure to construct that part OF its line
IRON ST.. Anthony via Minneapolis to a
point of junction at Shakopee." It did
not forfeit its corporate franchise by dis
continuance OF its business as railroad
company in consequence OF having con.
veyed its railroad to the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis e. Omaha Railway company,
pursuant to chap. 22S, Special Laws 1881.
Judgment ordered for respondent.
The effect OF this is that the charter oil
the Sioux City company stands, and that
the lands still remain exempt from taxa
ton. The lands in question, some fou1
hundred thousand, acres are located in the
southwestern portion OF the state, and are
valued at about So or 81 per acre.

toms districts makes but "a single provision
for Minnesota, as follows:
Districts OF Minnesota; One collector,
$4,000; and St. Paul shall be the principal
port OF entry in said district.
Two changes would result should this be.
come a law. First. Duluth would disap.
pear as customs district, and the district
OF Minnesota would move its headquarters
from St. Vincent to ST. Paul. 1t is a
question whether the compensation fixed"
to the Office OF collector is of sufficient
proportions for the new district, as com.
pared with allowances in other localities,
which can be seen from the measure
OF compensation hitherto allowed
under the combined system OF
salary, fees, and allowances. Dur.
ing the last year the collector at ST. Vim.
cent received total allowance of 50, $685.
20, and the collector at Duluth got ST..
O5O.5O, or a total for the customs districts
in the state of SO, 1870. Indeed under a
former bill prepared by the department
the collector at ST. Vincent alone was al
lowed 81 500, and the Duluth official ST..
200. The principal cause for the closing
OF the Duluth district by the bill is its fail.
ure to pay expenses. In the last year the
receipts amounted to only S4,726.91,
while the expenses reached S5,71O.19,
making the cost to collect one dollar of
revenue, s1.20. Under the original plan
OF fixed salaries mentioned above, it was
contemplated to retain Duluth as a CHS
toms district, and by reducing expenses,
to bring it to a self-sustaining basis. This
plan proposed five officials at that city, in
volving an expenditure of So, $50, thereby
making it a place OF revenue instead OF a
drain upon the customs service.
