ECHOES OF THE WEDDING.
The Marriage Cards-Congratulat
and Fresents-V iSitOrS to the White
Mouse. Etc.

About thousand cards announcing the
Presidents marriage were sent out from the
White House to-day under the direction of
Colonel Lamont. These cards were gotten up
by Tiffany and company. They are plain and
simple. On the first page of a full sheet OF fine
note paper the announcement is engraved in
heavy black lines as follows:
"Mr. Grover Cleveland and Miss Frances Fol-
som, married, on Wednesday, June second
eighteen hundred and eighty-siX.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Washington"
These announcements are sent to the MEM
bers of the cabinet, justices of the Supreme
Court, Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, the diplomatic corps, the lieutenant gen.
eral OF the army, admiral OF the navy and
friends OF the President and Mrs Cleveland in
Albany and Buffalo. 1t was necessary to confiue
the announcements to the official list in WASH
ingtOn, as it would be i'm possible to make n com
plete general list, and the recipients would re-
gard their being singled out as an invitation to
call, while those who were not honored would
away.
THE WHITE HOUSE GUESTS.
Rev. VIM Cleveland, the Presidents brother,
and Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Cleveland, his sisters,
are now the only occupants of the White
House. They will remain here some time, par.
ticularly the ladies, at least until the return of
the bridal couple. Mrs. Cleveland's relatives
who were guests at the White House left for
respective uOIuCS last QlSlt. NOtltU9 ca
be learned at the White House regarding the
length OF time the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land will be absent from Washington. Even
Col. Lamont pleads ignorance on the subject.
CONGRATULATIONS SENT TO DEER PARK.
The several hundred congratulatory letters
and kilograms which have been received at the
White House within the past few DAYS have
been boxed and shipped bvexpress to the Presi-
dent at Deer Park, thus avoiding violation of
the Presidents instructions that no mail be
sent to him.
THE WHITE HOUSE WAS OPEN TO VISITORS
this morning, and many people availed them
selves of the opportunity to walk through the
east room. They were very DESTROYS of being

Hoyt and Miss Cleveland. A great many Wis
itors were much disappointed.
