BUFFALO, N. Y, May Interest in
the approaching nuptials of President
Cleveland continues at fever heat here, and
III society nothing else is talked about lust
now. There is considerable surprise that
no letters have been received within
week from the Buffalo belle abroad.
and it is broadly limited that
the president is at the bottom of the failure
OF MISS frankie Folsom to communicate
with her girl associates here. The warning

Is DeileVed by the latter to have been sent
to frankie by special cablegram, for the
last letters were written just before the
GLOBE and other papers printed the
accounts of her engagement to the presi-
dent. There is considerable stir over the
Wedding III the Pamlin, Rumsey, Carey,
Colt and other high-toned families, who
fear they may be omitted from the invita-
ton list. When tue president was only
governor and was running for the higher
office the Careys gave him
| BANG-UP RECEPTION,
which was both select and superb, and
their attention led to the report that the
great man looked with matrimonial fond
ness on the charms of Miss Maria Love. a
relation of the family, but this was
promptly denied by both parties. That
is where that case differs from the
present one. In the present instance.
Miss Folsom, in her naive and modest
you. tells her scheel-day associates that she
is to wed the president. She does not deny
the gossip, for she probably did not know
that it was so soon to be known outside of
her set. and any way she would tell
truth. On the other hand the presi-
dent hides himself behind bull
wark, built of the principle of the
unmanliness of gossipping about 'spoor,
defenseless girl and denies nothing. Buff
falo friends say that ''Cleve," as his asso-
ciates called him, and not ''Grove,n as
counterfeit associates say they called him,
is doing just the thing to
MAKE MORE TALK.
If he would only fatty say ssyes" that
would stop all the conjecture. Another
trouble agitates society. growing out of this
engagement. All the girls who have cor
responded with Miss frankie are worried
lest she shall suspect them of having any
thing to do with giving away her
confidential disclosures, and the great
est CONSERVATION prevails among tie
|
reporters. They are afraid that when she
becomes qneen of the White house she will
adjudge them all guilty and punish them.
Some Of the lawyers of the bar association
are starting a movement to take some ac-
ton regarding the nuptials of the president,
who is an honored member,
and Miss Folsom, whose father was one
of the bright stars in the galaxy of legal
talent for which the ba- of Erie county was
famous, over a decade ago. The only diff
ficulty is with reference to the exact date
for the event and the problem of who, if
anybody, will be invited to attend the cere-
monies heside Mr. Bissell, who recently had
A NEW SWALLOW TAIL COAT
built 1ol lie OCCASION Some of the law
yers are already figuring on what kind of q
present would be most suitable, and they
think solid silver dinner service, richly
chased with oriental engraving, and ap-
propriately inscribed, would be just
about right. The amount likely to
be expended in making this purchase is
variously estimated from 81, 600 to SO, 600.
To make the inscription on the salver COM
plete it will be necessary to have the date
inscribed and how that can be communi-
Gated with sufficient secrecy, is problem
which worries Mr.. Bissell, whs would
like to see the present made, and who would
contribute literally to the fund, besides
making another handsome gift 1t is said
that he will present the bride with the deed
of an elegant summer residence down the
Niagara river, on Grand Island, where the
president can spend his vacation fishing
and enjoying the splendid scenery.
/ A committee will, doubtless, be ap-
pointed before long to lock after the
preliminaries and an informal meeting of
the lawyers will probably be held. The
attorneys, so far as they have been talked
with about the matter, are not thoroughly
satisfied with the presidents refusal to
deny the
REPORTS OF HIS MARRIAGE,
and the general opinion is that he might as
well make clean breast of his determine
tiol to commit matrimony. They are all
content to believe the newspaper stories,
but when it comes to buying wedding pres
ents they want more positive
assurance than they have al
ready received, and Buffalo lawyers love
hard cash as well as those in any other city
in the world. Some society people believe
that the date of the wedding will be
Wednesday. June 16, or %, for they
have figured down her future move
ments as far as possible, and frankie
once told a teacher in the central
school that Wednesday was the incest
day on which to wed. Her friends are not
pleased with the publication of the accounts
of the romance in her life, which was printed
in the GLOBE on April Is, and afterward
copied in many papers. They object, how
ever, only on the ground that she might be
displeased, and were really glad that this
paper got the story first and told it as it
was, without the sensational details which
might have been worked in.
