Secret Until the Last.

JACKSON, Mich, May 21.-Mrs. Emma 0. Folsom, mother of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, was married last night to Henry E. Perrine, of Buffalo, When it became known that the wedding was to take place there was great tiutter, be- cause the approaching affair had been kept in the profoundest secrecy. The most extraordinary precautions had been taken to keep the matter from the press, ant until Mrs. Cleveland arrived from the east on the fast express yesterday afternoon 1t was quite general belief that a hoax was being worked upon the public.
 It had not even been generally known that Mrs. Folsom was in Jackson. All the telegrams that have been sent from here to Mrs. Cleveland, have been in the name of Mrs. Clevelands maid, and all received by Mrs. Folsom have been re- ceived by her in the name of MT. Cad mans servants. The ceremony took place at MT. Cadman's home on Francis street, last night at 9 o'clock Rev. R. B. Balcom of St. PauIs Episcopal Church | officiating. The guests present, besides Mrs. Cleveland and the members of MT. l Cadman's family, were only Mrs. Elisha | Mrs. Frank Welch of Jackson, near rela- tions; MT. and Mrs Barry Ritch (the lat | ter daughter of Mir. Perrinel, and their | two sons from Buffalo.
 Immediately after the ceremony MT. and Mrs. Perrine departed for the west. They will spend a week or two In travel l ing before returning to their future home in Buffalo. Mrs. Cleveland will remain 1 in Jackson until the latter part of the week, the guest of Mrs. Cadman, when l she will return to Now York. Mir. Per l rine ia about ten years older than his bride who is 45 years old.
 l Mrs. Folsom Is the widow of the late l Oscar Folsom, the Buffalo lawyer, who l was ex-Presldent Cleveland's law partncr 1 before he assumed the responsibilities of 1 Stato and national office. MT. Folsom died some months before MT. Cleveland became governor of New York state. By his will he appointed his partner his cxe- cutor and guardian of his only daughter, | Frances.
 | Soon after her husbands death Mrs. l Folsom left on an extended foreign tour, l spending several years in the various l countries of Europe, while Miss Frances l completed her education and afterward joined her mother abroad. They re- turned just about the time that MT. Cleveland was elected to tho presidency, and shortly afterward big sensation was caused throughout the country by the announcement that the president was l about to marry his beautiful charge. The
 marriage took place i'll the White House in June, 1886.
