THE WEDDING SUPPER.

While those hidden to the wedding feast
will be small in number, the supper will be
of character not less elaborate and tempt
ing than any of the entertainments at the
White House under the present regime, of
course bearing in mind what is suitable for
the occasion. The Marine Band, which will
be in attendance, will furnish what music
is appropriate during the rendering of the
plain and simple service through which the
Rev. DIR. Sunderland will make the twain
one. Afterward, when the guests are at
the table, the musical selections to be
rendered will befit that occasion. All the
magnificent silver, china and glass service
of the White House will bt brought into
requstion, so that the choicest sets may
be selected to grace the table and vie with
the floral adornments. The menu is now
the sole study of the chef and confectioner
of the White House, and these two illus
trious functionaries will rack their brains
until the latest hour possible in the effort
to Guido all their former achievements
The wedding cake, they are determined,
shall be masterpiece, but however they
may try, they cannot get an oven which will
bake cake big enough to supply a bit to all
the love-sick damsels who will want to
dream on it. The cabinet ladies, who are the
envy of all society because they only are to
be present at the ceremony, find their hap
piness mixed with some alloy. The short
notice which they had apparently precludes
all hope of new dresses for the wedding, and
to fall back upon wardrobe which has
been constantly drawn upon for an entire
season is misery indeed. Modistes here
and in all the adjacent cities have been
sounded, but this is one of the busiest sea-
sons of the year, and if one OF more of the
cabinet ladies should succeed in obtaining
something, it will, as one of them said who
has given up all expectations in that line,
''be nothing to brag on
THE INVITATIONS.
The following is said to be the form of
invitation sent by the President to the
members of his cabinet
Erecutive Mansion, May 30, 19e6.-My
Dear Mr.-: am to be married on
Wednesday evening at seven o'clock at the
White House to Miss Folsom. 1t will be a
very quiet affair, and l will be extremely
gratitied at your attendance on the occa-
sion. Yours, sincerely,
GROVER CLEvELAND."
To the members who are married the in
vitation Includes their wives Three of the
members of the cabinet are wfdowers-
Messrs. Bayard, Lamar and Garland.
Miss Van Vechten, who is the particular
ly intimate friend OF Miss Cleveland, and
who, rumor says, was perferred by the lat
ter for the spouse of the President, is not
among those mentioned as likely to be
present. AS she has been a frequent visit
or at the White House, there is some COM
ment over this, although very probably it
has no significance.

THE SHERIFF AFTER HIM-The people
of our county were surprised and panied to
learn that Marcellus Rudasill, of Brown
town, had left his home and family on Sat
urday night last because it had been dis
covered that he had forged the names OF
some of his neighbors and friends as en-
dorsers on negotiable notes and other pa
per upon which he got the money, amount
ing to several thousand dollars. His gen
eral reputation for honesty was excellent.
Sheriff Compton, Constable Roy, and their
assistants have been in hot pursuit, but so
far he has escaped arrest. Wdrren Sentinel.

Rev. r. H. Fleming, pastor 70 the Pres
byterian church, Of this place, has received
call from the New York Avenue Gurley
Mission church, Washington, D. C. This
is the third call he has received from this
church. His congregation here voted unan-
imously against its acceptance and it has
been referred for the action of Presbytery at
the Fall meeting in September, at Peters
burg, W. Va. Mr.. Fleming is one of the
ablest and most popular ministers this
place has ever had, and his departure for an
other field of labor will be a source of re-
gret to all our people. - Woodstock Herald.

The Bridal Dress Of the Presidents Bride.

Miss Folsom had her bridal and other
Dire es made in Paris. The Paris Morn
ing Meas of recent date gave minute
description of the bridal travelling morning
walking afternoon visiting, and other dress
es of Miss Folsom. Of the bridal dress, it
says
''The wedding gown is poem in its pure
simplicity, of thick ivory satin of the kind
that stands alone. The round, plain jupe
is draped from side to side with very soft
silk Indian muslin, attached on the left
side, and nearly joining the traine de cour.
The muslin is ourle, OF bordered, with
very narrow band of orange flowe rs and
leaves that outline the drapiDg. The
traine de cour is attached on to the plain
bodice, just below the waist behind, and
measures four meters in length. tits slight
" rounded and falls in full orange plaits on
the ground, no trimming upon it whatever.
The bodice is extremely nat. Two scarves
of the soft, filmy muslin start from the
shoulder seams, cross the bosom, and are
bordered with narrow band of orange
flowers, to correspond with the skirt. The
scarves at length hide away beneath broad
ceinture, Or lappet of satin that crosses the
bodice from left to right, and fastens on
the hip. The effect is simple and exquis-
tie. The sleeves are made to reach just
below the elbow, and have three cross way
bands of India muslin, forming plisse. At
tached at the elbow point, on the inner side
of the arm, are tiny blossoms, buds, and
two or three leaves of Oranges The veil
is of plain white silk tulle of enormous
length, to be dressed high on the head with
,d;x of lo nd

SANDS SWEPT BY FLAMEs.-The villag

structive fire last Monday about midnight
The buildings burned were hIr. F. r.

frame building. The latter building was
not quite complete, but would have been

including large portion of his stock. Mr..
Browns dwelling, near by, was considera-
bly, damaged. Mr.. Biedler's stock of goods
was almost entirely destroyed. He esti-
mates bis loss at about $4,000, on which
there is an insurance of only $1,000. Mr..
