years ago. Justice Fuller, who was then
plain Lawyer Fuller, lived with his eight
daughters on Lake avenue, only a short dis
tance from the home of young AuberY. The
| young people FIST met at party given in
| the neighbOrhood. An attachment sprung
up between them, and when it became ap-
| p1rent it was opposed by tha FulIers. Miss
Pauline declared, however, that she would
marry whom she pleased, and her father
recognized her right TO do as she pleased.

About this time Lawyer Fuller was named as
chief justice of the United States. Mrs Full

| THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
| WASHINGTON Special Telegram, March 90
| The Evening Critic has the following:
Chief Justice Fuller started for the supreme
| court shortly before 10 o'clock this morning
| Mrs. Fuller had some shopping to do and she
| took him down with her in the carr iare Mrs
1 AuDeTy had not telcEranhed the Of IA maj.
| riage before her parents left. Mrs. Fuller did
| not return from her shopping until late this aft
ernoOn, and so she did not know of her daugh-
ters marriage in time to say anything to the aft
| ernoon papers. Friends of the family in Chicago
| telegralhed the news to friends in this city
and 1t got to he quite generally talked of this
| afternoon 1t was the tonic of most of the con-
| versattons in West end parlors, and everybody
seemed dispostd to sympathlxe with Mrs.
Fuller, who cannot but be annoyed by her
daughters action. Whether she will be for
| given nobody knows, but Mr.. Fuller has never
| been known as a family tyrant any more than
he has as anything else disaqreeabie. and how
ever little his new son-in-iaw is to his taste his
| daughter will doubtless be forgiven. Mr.. and
Mrs. Fuller very naturally decline to have any
thing to say on the subject
In the interview, Miss Maud Fuller said:
| l don't believe it. / don't believe Pauline
/ would do anything like that Any way, If she
intended to get married she would have told US
| so. No, we haveu't received any word from her
| to<day, and there has been 10 telegram received
| here for my father. OF caurse Pauline would let
| us know if she had been married. and don't be-
lieve it all Perhars Pauline used to be little
| fond of Mr.. Aubery, but that was all over,
! think, long age never knew of their being
| engaged, and Pauline and Mr.. Auberv were just
| friends, and have been for years, Pauline was
very much attached to Chicago, and this winter
she went back there on q visit. and suppose
| this talk about elopement was caused by
/ that. shall not believe that Pauline is married
| until shall hear it from herself
j Miss Pauline is not well known in WASH
ington. She came here last October and only
stayed about two aud a half months, making
but few acquaintances. She is only seven
teen years old, and lett the city before
the social season had fairly commenced, it
being her intention not to make her debut
until next winter She was fond of the thea
ter aud could frequently be seen at the two
leading play houses Her most intimate
friend in Washington was Miss Eleanor
Breckinridge. daughter of the Kentucky
Congressman. She did not seem to likn.
