rom MISS Folsom while she was in
Faris refer to the morbid curiosity of the
people there and the staring homage Maid
her by the crowds of homely French dndes
on the street. She thinks that the Partisan

as the substantial men of the French re-
pubic, and not near so pretty as the Amer
lean young men. Miss Folsom was treated
at Genoa as any ordinary young ladv
travelling with her mother and cousin. but
IN Paris it was different, and as frankie is

considerable. In these letters no mention

The recipients of the letters would not

would not do to be out with the queen of
the White house." said one of the girls ex-
planatorily. Chairman Warren of the Re.
publican state committee, in his CONNER
cial-Advertiser has long editorial which
he evidently wrote himself. The following
extracts are from it:
The sphinx of America jus st now is President
| cleveland. His numerous newspaper friends
nave seiected his bride, wrung consent from
all ner relatives, ordered and published to the
| world her trousseau, and, in short, have made
| every
| PREPARATION FOR THE WEDDING.
Nothing is lacking but single word from
the bridegroom that he will make all these
outside arrangements good when the proper
time comes. This persistent reticence on the
part OF the president seems to act as q
goad upon the teasing propensities of the
newspaper fellows. The president himself
grows harder and more obstinate day by day.
| He got his back up to use an expressive
phrase, and up to the last moment he will re-
| fuse to crafty what he regards as the cruel
| and unwarrantable curiosity of the scribes
In order to battle his tormentors the president
might postpone his nuptials until after his
return 10 private lite, or even turn his back
on matrimony altogether
THE WEDDING To RI At Eor co&rDIrr
BUFFALO, n. Y, May 26.-The Times
tomorrow will print statements that an in
innate friend of Wilson S. Bissell saws he
arranged for the special train to bring Mr..
Cleveland to Buffalo to be married, but that
the wedding ceremonies will take place at
Folsomdale, which is one of the most iso-
lated spots in Western New York.
A st. Louis Lawyers Troubles,
Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, No., May 26.-Frank J..
Bowman, a well-known attorney in St.
Louis. has filed suit for divorce from his
wife. Mary V. Bowman, which. when 1t is
brought into court. with the various
charges and counter charges, will create a
sensation. Bowman has the reputation of
being shrewd lawyer, and his domestic
trouble will be hailed with qualification by
the little army of lawyers here who are
unfriendly to him. His petition is brief
and to the point, covering half sheet
of legal cap, which gives him sufficient
space in which to charge the partner of his
joys and sorrows with having rendered her
self incapable of bearing children. Mrs.
Bowman was served with copy of the
summons yesterday, and although she has
not had time to file her cross bill it is ex-
pected that she will frame an answer that
will insure the granting of divorce to her
instead of to her husband. The Bowmans
have one child, daughter IS years old.
