WARRINGTON, June "A presidential
salute fired at the arsenal this evening gave
the people of Washington information that
the president and Miss Folsom were mar
ried or Sho uld be married if nothing had
Mapped to dsarrange the regular program.
Fortunately nothing of the kind had hap
pened and the ceremony took place as the
guns were discharged. There was one
secret well-kept. 1t was divuiged when
the president and his bride left the White
house soon after 9 o'clock to-
night and took a special train
for Deer Park, Md, where they VIII spend
a week in a cottage. The last event of last
night was the arrival of brother William
Cleveland and sister Mrs. Hoyt, who were
met at the station by Miss Cleveland, on
whom, next to Col. Lamont, the heaviest
work of preparing for the wedding was laid.
This scholarly, amiable lady, who will re-
sign her office as mistress of the White
house as soon as the happy couple get back
from their too brief honeymoon, not only
had to go to the depot at 10 o'clock last night
to meet her brother and sister, but she had
to return to the depot at $50 this morning
TO meet her prospective sister-in-law and

THE EMPLOYMENT OF PROXIES
to a very late moment and though he has
always had high reputation as an early
riser, he did not go to the depot. At the
usual hour the president took his place at
his desk, and attended to his official duties
during the forenoon as though nothing
unusual was going to happen. Sew
eral times he came out into the office
of the private secretary, giving directions to
the clerks about papers and wearing an air of
being entirely contented with his lot in life.
About noon he went to drive, this time
without Col. Lamont. He felt it necessary |
to get used to going to ride without the |
private secretary. Col Lamont had |
promised newspaper men to give an official |
account of the wedding by 3 O'Clock, but he
hardly kept his engagement. AT o'clock
the representatives of the press were gra
ciously permitted to hurry through the Blue
parlor and East room, and see what they
could on the fly. and the colonel marked
out the spot in the Blue room where the
bridal couple would stand, and the presi-
dent would wear dress suit with a turn
down collar andno gloves. He also i'm
parted the

and he was unable to make up his mind to
attend the joyful occasion in frock coat, |
he would break the administration circle |
and stay at home. Then the colonel went !
out for a drive and released his overstrained |
nerves. At 6 o'clock this evening nine
American citizens stood in front of the |
White house. Six of these were report erS,
two policemen, and one was Albert Hawkins,
the driver of the presidents carriage. The
correspondents seemed unusually happy,
the policemen were grave and solemn,
while Mr.. Hawkins lazily leaned against
one of the pillars supporting the portico and
winked knowingly at his reportoral ac-
quaintances. Mr.. Hawkins was attired in
livery. and wore on his immense hands a
pair of tan-colored dog skin gloves. which
were in pleasing contrast with his complex
ion. After little time the members of the
Marine band came struggling along. The
musicians were in tull uniform, and pre-
sented very fine appearance. About half
past o'clock
VERY PECULIAR OUTFIT
made its appearance in front OF the house.
An antiquated steed drew ''rattling'
spring wagon, in which was seated an old |
farmer and his wife. The old fellow drove
under the archway and jumped out of the
wagon. From the rear of the vehicle he
lifted out large basket of flowers In the |
center of the roses was pyramid of straw
berries as large as billiard balls. The old |
gentleman carried the basket to Mr. Haw-
kins, and sent it to the president with his
compliments. Resuming his seat in his
vehicle. he drove away amidst the laughter
of the crowd. which by this time had assumed |
large proportions The policemen held |
back the good-natured crowd. An old lady,
however, persisted in standing on the up
permost step, saying she came to see the
wedding and had right to stand there, too
and stand there" she did. 1t was now
GAO o'clock and with the exception of Mrs.
Lamont none of the invited guests had put
in an appearance. Presently rather dingy-
looking carriage drove under the archway.
In 1t was seated Secretary Lamar He was
in a few minutes followed by Dr.
Sunderland and wife. Then came Col.
and Mrs. Villas and Immediately after them

Endicott came, and were followed bv Mr..
Bayard, who came alone. Mr.. and Mrs.
Whitney put in an appearance. and last of
all came Mr.. and Mrs. Manning. Several
White house attendants ran out to the car

to be in good spirits. Mr.. Garland came
