MISS CLEVELAND ARRIVES.
Miss Rose Cleveland, accompanied by
her friend, Miss Nelson, of Albany, ar
rived at the White House at late hour
this evening TO be present at the wedding,
the details OF which are gradually assum-

1t is decided that Benjamin Folsom,
brother of the bride, will act as her
nearest male relative and will give

that Miss Cleveland will stand up with
the bride, but whether the President will be

bridesmaids nor groOmsmen. A large
number OF persons visited the White
House to-day to pay their respects to the
President and congratulate him on his
approaching marriage.
