WASHINGTON, June 2.-The President
and Miss Folsom were duly married this
evening. About half past six O'Clock,
the wedding guests began to arrive, their
carriages being driven up to the main
door of the mansion through the great
iron gates on Pennsylvania avenue. The
first arrival was secretary Lamar. He
was closely followed by Rev. DR.. Sunder-
land and wife, and during the next few
minutes, there came in quick succession
Postmaster General Villas and wife, Mr..
Wilson s. Bissell, secretary and Mrs. En-
dicott, Secretary Bayard, Secretary and
Mrs. Whitney and Secretary Manning
and his wife. Removing their wraps in
the state dining room all guests proceeded
to the Blue room where they were re-
celved by MISS Rose Cleveland. For
few minutes the guests chatted gaily,
but conversation was quickly suspended
at 7:15 p. m. when selected orchestra
from the Marine band stationed in the
corridor, struck up the familiar strains
of the wedding march from Mendelschoa
"mldsummer nights dream" and all eyes
we're turned to the door way, to catch
the first glimpse of the coming bride and
groom. Starting from the western cor
ridor on the upper floor the president
came slowly down the western staircase,
with his BRIDE leaning on his arm, they
were unaccompanied even by her mother
who was awaiting her with other guests.
Passing through the central corridor
the bride and groom entered the Blue
room and took position near its southern
wall, which was completely hidden from
sight by a mass of nodding palms, tropi-
cal grasses, and variety of choice flow
ers. A crystal chandelier poured q food
of mellow radiance upon the scene, and
colors of massive banks OF scarlet bego-
MAS, and royal jacquemlnot roses ming
ling with the blue and silver tints OF the
frescoed walls and ceiling gave warm
glowing tone to the whole brill liant in.

brides wedding gown formed an exquisite
contrast to the masses of crimson roses
Immediately beyond. The president was
in full evening dress, with turn down

enamelled studs. A hush fell on the as
semblage as DR.. Sunderland stepped for

the presidents brother at his left hand.
In q distinct tone of voice and with de-

"For as much as we are assembled to
holy rites of marriage, it IS needful that
we should seek the blessing of great God
Our Father, whose institution it is and
therefore, beseech you now to follow
me with reverent hearts, in prayer to
Him. Almighty and Everlasting God
Father of our spirits, framer of our bo-
dies, glver of every good and perfect gift,
Thsu who canst see the end from the
beglnnin :, who knowest what is best for
US, Thy children, and has appointed the
holy rite of marriage to be sacredly OBJ
served throughout all generations, regard
now, we beseech Thee, thy servants.
Our chief magistrate, endow him plenti-
ously with Thy grace and fiIl him with
wisdom to walk in Thy ordinances. Be
very nigh to HIM, IN midst Of many cares
and grave responsibilities, day by day
may Thy law direct him, aud Thy
strength uphold him and be thou forever
his sun and shield. And be graciously
pleased to look down upon this thy
daughter even as Thou didst favor chosen
Rebecca and many noble woman that
have adorned the world. May she indeed
be a precious boon of good to her hus-
band to cheer and help him continually.
Graciously assist them this man and this
woman who are here to be united in tie
bonds OF Holy wedlock, according to the
institution Of thy word. Mercifully be
pleased, Almighty God, to vouchsate to
each of them thy grace that they may
we'll and truly weigh the vows which
they are now about to make to each
other, that they may be enabled hereaf-
ter, so to live together as to rejoice with
JOY unspeakable, and full of glory through
Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Amen.
Addressing the company Dr.. Sunder-
land said, Marriage Is honorable among
all men in that man shall leave his father
and mother and cleave unto his wife, and
twain shall be one flesh. 1t was consti-
tuted by our Creator in the first paradise
it was confessed by patriarch and priest,
prophet and apostle; it was confirmed
by teaching and adorned with the pres
ence of the Redeemer, and has been hon.
orep by the faithful keeping Of all good
men and women since the world began
1t is not, therefore, to be undertaken
