WASHINGTON. May 25.-sThe President
is to be married TO Miss Folsom on June
49, This is the Information obtained
from trustworthy source, one entitled
to great consideration, that is youched
fol- as true now. and is likelyto remain
true unless some great calamity should
overtake one Of the principals to the pro-
prosed ceremony. The day was fixed, it
was understood, with some regard to the
exacting obligations of closing session
Of Congress upon the President. The
round of duty In the White House
may seem an unimportant matter
to persons who are contem-
plating marriage, if they do not
happen to know how easily vast aecu-
mufatiOn vi important affairs can fall be.
nlnd Oy the neglect OF a day or two. All
tue reports that have hitherto gone out
nave Insisted that the wedding was to be
on wednesday. This was only natural,
as 1t is the admitted popular day OF the
week with brides. The 10Th day of June
is the thlrd Saturday OF the month. Sat
urday Is not at all a favored day in
very convenient day for carving out the
arrangements made for the Presidential
wedding. Occasionally, when the Presi-
dent mas seen ut TO leave town tor day
or Two OF recreation, be has quietly DIS
appeared on Friday, his going away eXcit-
ing no curiosity until Saturday afternoon,
when the few visitors to the White House
would learn that he had gone away, and
the TACT would be announced in the pa
pers IN three or cur lines. AS the we'd
ding is intended to be private affair, at
winch none but few OF the Presidents
most intimate personal friends, Col. ID. 5.
Lamont, his private secretary, and some
OF the relatives of the bride, are to be
present, 1t was regarded as unnecessary,
II not unwise, tc give formal notice OF
the event, as Information of the date
would naturally be accompanied by a
statement of the place where the cere-
mOny was to be celebrated. The stories
about the engagement OF rooms for Mrs
Folsom and Miss Folsom in Baltimore,
and the assumption that the wedding was
to take place in that city, are disposed of
by persons who know them to be highly
absurd Their home is not and never has
been Ia Baltimore. They would be
strangers in strange place, whereas at
Buffalo, or some place near that, they
won d be thoroughly at home and among
friendly neighpors.
From other sources Conformation than
that conveying the date of the wedding it
is learned that the President will leave
here on Friday, the day preceding the
proposed wedding day, or perhaps as early
as Thursday, in the same quiet way shat
he recently went off on his trip down
Chesapeake Bay with Mr.. W. l.. Scott.
A nights journey will carry him to the
place at which the wedding is to be cele-
brated. An idle day will follow, and then
the President, it is expected, will return
with his bride to Arlington. His re-
Gently acquired cottage out on the Tenal-
lytown road is not yet ready for the recep-
ton of bride. but tine White House is In
good order, with brand pew roof, just
completed, the furniture is in good order,
and the hot house and conservatory filled
with flowers that can be used to decorate
and make fragrant the interior of the
mansion. That there will have to be some
sort OF summer reception, for the purpose
of presenting the new mistress of the
White House, will occur to everybody
here as the correct and desirable and per-
haps inevitable thing. II there is such
an event now it will be noted as one of the
most important OF the social events of this
administration, and Will attract distin-
guished thrOng of diplomatic, official and
private persons, Notwithstanding the
lateness of the season.
The arrangements for the wedding, so
far as the Presidents movements are con-
cerned, have been left in the hands of Col.
Lamont. No more discreet and worthy
confidential agent was ever intrusted with
the management OF such matter. Some
OF bis friends who have learned of visits
to New York that have not been made
public are disposed to insist that the talk
about wedding in the western part of
New York is ABSURD. as making long
journey necessary. They say that it is to
take place in New York city, and that
the secretary's trip to the city on Monday
was made as much for the purpose of
arranging for the wedding as it was for
the arrangement OF the Decoration Day
movements OF the President. The arrival
of Mrs. and Miss Folsom may cause some
change IN plans, but will scarcely affect
the date decided upon some time ago.
Washington people, in and out of office,
are delighted at the prospect OF soon nav
ing Lady OF the White House," who
will be entitled to all the hOnors Of the
position as the wife OF the President. The
curiosity about the wedding is altogether
the expression OF friendly concern, not
vulgar impertInence or a desire to med
die IN anybOdy's privaue affairs. Some
regret is expressed that the President
Will be obliged to bring his bride to
house that's more public than most Otn-
ers, house that is Overrun. even in the
so called private part, by from 10 to 100
privileged visitors every day. The crowds
are not usually so great in the summer
as they are in the winter season, but the
fact that the wife of the President is soon
to be there will undoubtedly attract an
unusual number Of visitors, and inspire
many OF them with tue hope that by get
ting into the ''EOme side' of the mansion
they may be able to get a glimpse OF the
