FRANCES CLEVELAND.
"reminiscences OF the Days
When She Was Frances
Folsom.
The School Life Of the Next
Mistress of the White
House.
Some Anecdotes of Her Three
Years at Wells Col
lege.
She and Her Roommate the
Only Democrats in the
1884 Campaign.

So much has been said and writ ten
about Mrs. Grover CleveIand's life at
Wells college, says the New York World,
that had little Of fact and much. of
fancy, that an account of those three
years at Aurora from 1882 to 1885, from
the lips Of those who were daily aSSoci-
ated with Mrs. Cleveland will be of in
terest to the public.
Although not in the least what would
be termed bookworm. at school Miss
Folsom had decided literary taste, and
was faithful and painstaking student.
She never missed lesson while at col
lege, and was always prepared for reci-
tations, generally throwing considerable
originality and life into the class con-
yersationS in which she took part.
She was considered frst-class
English scholar, and entered Wells
college in the middle OF the
school year, her Central school certifi-
cate from Buffalo admitting her TO the
sophomore class at Wells without fur
Their preliminary examination. She was
fond of English literature and her at
tacnment to the principal. Miss Helen
Smith, who taught this study, probably
increased her love for it. She was fair
French and German scholar, good pi-
anist and dabbed, as most girls at Wells
do, in painting and the study Of art.
When VAR. Cleveland Was Elected.
During her junior year Grover Cleve-
land received his first nomination and
was elected to the presidency of the
United States. The bright, lively
school girl at the little lakeside village,
who was apparently lost in the mys-
teries of science and the intricate prob
lens Of algebra and geometry, had time
to write her friend of her kindly inter-
est aud the anxiety with which she
looked forward to his successful eau
vasS. Her enthusiasm and the frank
ness of her expressions in the matter
are said to have given the future presi-
dent more pleasure than anything else
thai happened during that campaign.
At Wells college but one Auburn
paper was taken and that was Repub-
lican in politics. Early in the campaign
Miss Folsom became disguised with its
attitude towards Mr.. Cleveland and she
soon found subscriber to the Bulletin,
the Democratic paper, who shared his
paper with her. She always waited pa
tiently its arrival and kept herself pref
ty we'll posted on the outlook.

Knew Him Through His Photo
graph.
A story is told of Mrs. Cleveland
which illustrates her love for her school
girl friends and her memories of school
life at Wells college. The scene of the
incident is Chicago, and the time of the
occurrence was the wear after her mar
riage to the president.
She was with the president on her
firsl visit to Chicago, and while there
reception was rendered them.
Isaac E. Adams, well-known at
torney of the Windy city. was on the
reception committee. This was his first
meeting with the presidents wife, and
his surprise can be better imagined
than described when it is known that
upon approaching the first lady of the
land she extended her hand in greeting
and said chow do you do, Mr.. Adamsw
He, of course, responded, but not
without expressing his surprise that
she should know his name. That is
easily accounted for,''she replied. For
two years at Wells college | was room
mate with Miss Pussy Willard. She
had your photograph on the wall of our
room, and l often told her that if ever
came to Chicago [ should look out for
you.'
Mrs. Cleveland has visited Aurora
but once since she became Mrs. Cleve-
land. On that occasion she was made
one of the board of trustees OF her alma
mater. Miss Smith is the only other
woman OH the board.

A LONG VIGIL.
A Chinaman Vows to Watch
Three Years by His Mothers

A Chinaman Vows to Watch
Three Years by His Mothers
Grave.
London Times.
A correspondent of a Shanghai jour
nal, writing from Kiukiang, on the
YangtSe, mentions that he has seen
night watch. which is not often seen
even in China. This is man who has
taken a VOW to watch three years at
his mothers grave. The lady died
at the end of last year, and was buried,
as usual, on the side of a neighborng
hill in the family burying place. When
the remains had been consigned TO the
earth the son declared that he would
not leave the grave for three years, and
so far he has been true to his word.
The neIghborS took upon themselves
to provide for his wants. and sub
scription list was started, ten piculS
Q33 pounds each) of rice being contrib
E,ed by his relatives and those who
knew HIM. Families take turns
in preparing his food and bring
ing it to him. Others brought
straw and poles, and made a
rude hut for him, large enough to con-
tain himself and the grave of his
mother. The writer saw him when he
had already been at his Self-appolnted
task nearly seven months, and says he
will not soon forget the sight and smell.
Around the hut there were three we'll
kept graves, those of his father, brother
and wife, and inside, that of his mother.
During the three years of this vigil he
does not wash himself, the straw upon
which he lies is not removed, he does
not change his clothes until the time has
expired, he does not come out of the lit
tie place for any cause whatever; he
speaks to none, except, perhaps, Occa-
sonally, and then only briefly, to his
nearest relatives. He spends the time
muttering prayers and burning incense
at the head of the tomb, along the
length of which he is stretched. The
hut is not high enough to allow him to
stand upright, and is only few feet
longer than himself. Zone can family
imagine the foulness of such den and
the condition of an unShorn human being
after such an existence. What he will
be like at the end OF the summer | can.
not conceive. 1t does not seem possible
that a man should be able to live
through three years of such horror
none but a Chinaman conld do it," If
he survives the three years he will be
highly honored, the officials will go in
state and receive him aud report the mat
ter to the throne, and he will receive from
the emperor's hand board containing
four characters landing his virtue. He
may also receive some small official pre-
ferment, and will thus be provided for.
The natives say that, although he is
alone on the hillside among the graves,
no ghosts or devils will interfere with
him, and poisonous snakes will not
come near him. Some of the people
were not quite sure wlrat his motives
were; some said. significantly, that he
knew what he was dolng-there was not
very much to do and at the end of three
years. lying at the grave, being fed by
his friends, he would likely enough find
comfortable support Tor the rest of his
life.

AIDE FOR THE CAMERA MAN.
Opposition as an Incentive to Bush
ness and an Audience.

Boston Globe.
Some enterprising party is in the very
legitimate business Of running a Nc
Kinley camera on the corner of one of
the side streets leading off Washington
street
Nightly upon a screen stretched on
the opposite side of the street are thrown
imposing Mckinley figures designed for
workingmen's eyes. 1t seems hard. but
it is nevertheless true, that the bounte-
Gus supply furnished by the Republic
an state committee should fail to be APP
preciated, except by patient Indian in
front of a neighboring cigar store and a
few dummy dudes in shop windows.
An idea suggests itself in this connec-
ton. If nobody save the wooden Indian
and the dummy dudes cares to stop and
read the figures purporting to show
what 'protection" has done, it is be
cause there is no tariff reform camera
near at hand to reply to the Mckinley
figures and questions on the spot.
In the interest of true camera enter
prise, as well as of the truth, we main
tain that every Mckinley camera should
invite free and open debate.
In other words, the Mckinley camera
man should challenge doubling parties
to set up tariff reform camera on the
aOppOSite side of the street and open up
joint debate.
This idea carried out would create a
big boom in the camera business, and
instead of the wooden Indian and the
sweet-scented dummy dudes, the gen
eral public would stop and watch the
contest of cameras.

LiberaIity in Dress.

London Standard.
The invitation of an up-river vicar to
boating men to attend the services at
his church in their fannels is another
indication of the prevailing spirit of lib
crafty in dress. The old restrictions
seem to be gradually in course of re-
moval, and there is some danger that a
contrary extreme may III time be in
dulged in. For instance, the presence
of a man in Norfolk jacket in the stalls
of fashiona BILE West end theater the
other evening gave rise to some fears on
the part of ladies present that ''the poor
man had had no dinner" Had he over
heard the conversation, he would have
experienced no difficulty i'll compre-
hending the implied rebuke. In Paris
there has been movement to revive
frills and embroiderieS on evening
shirts, and more than one gommaux
has adapted the Jabot of lace. a little
plated frill that is familiar enough in
the portraits of the seventeenth cen
fury. Velvet facings to evening coats
have also been seen in Paris, and it
would not be improbable that the wear
ers would ostracize any stranger who
would appear even at club i'll post
prandial hours in Norfolk jacket.

He Courted the Beautiful Ethel
ride in Spite of His Name.
Detroit Free Press.
He was plain John Smith.
She was the beautiful and cultivated
Ethelrida Martlngale.
But what mattered that to him? He
loved her.
Love is the great leveler.
Not that it had leveled the sweet, pale
Ethelrda exactly, for it had not, Tut 1t
had knocked John out fiat.
Happy Ethelrida, for she had the
bulge on him.
1t was ever thus.
In loves sandwiches one piece of
bread will always have more butter on
it than the other will.
Yet Ethelrida was not cruel, and she
did not long to let him drop hard enough
to cripple him for life.
On the contrary, she sought to let
him down on the silver strands to beds
of thornless roses.
But John wouldn't have it.
Nor is our hero the only man built
that way.
He loves but little, or not at all,
Who fears the dump ness OF his fall.
That was John Smith all over, and
still John was no SLOUGH. as the word
goes.
Ethelrida knew what was coming. but
she was powerleSS to prevent it, unless
she took an axe to John, and she hest
tated to resort to harsh measures.
Woman's nature is ever gentle.
1t was a calm and beautiful Sabbath
evening when John call ed for the last
time.
Il love you, Ethelrlda," he whispered,
low and lisping, at about IL O'Clock,

1t was then apparent to Etheirida
that Mr.. Smith meant business.
cit cannot be, tear,'' she replied,
standing him off. "Papa is unutterably
opposed to our union, and he has said
he will lock me in my room and keep
me there if persist in seeing YOU"
That was tip John should have
acted upon: that and the palpable fact
that EtEelrida did not rush to his throb-
bling bosom like an undammed torrent,
when he had SO Enthusiastically blaZed
the way for her.
Love laughs at locksmlths," he said,
courageously, ignoring the surface in
dicationS.
Again was the fair girl baked in her
generous purpose, and there came into
her face the cold, hard lines of resolu
ton and into her eyes the cruel CLINT OF
Justice long deferred.
Eyes, and at John Smiths" she add
ed, naive simplicity scarcely conceal
ing the edge of the sword.
And John fed away into the misty,
murky darkness of untorgettable dis

A Story of Phillips Brooks.

Chicago News.
The latest story that is told about
Philips Brooks is to the effect that
quite recently, being engaged in work,
he left orders with the servants that on
10 account was he to be interrupted.
But shortly after he had retired to
his study the doorbell rang, land friend
from New York sought Abundance
Stock Broker Nichols, who had been
a classmate of Bishop Brooks in col
lege. This early caller did not fancy
the idea of being turned away, and
while he was demonstrating with the
servant, 10! and behold Phillips Brooks
emerged from his study, welcomed the
visitor with open arms, babe him enter
and talked with him an hour or so. The
servant felt deeply mortified and made
bitter complaint to the bishop after the
caller had departed.

want, that you told me that YOU
wouldn't see the Angel Gabriel il he
called"

say that, and | meant it. But there's

next world, but as there is some doubt
about my seeing Nichols there, it was
only right that should see him here
when he took the trouble to call upon

A Woman's Hate.

I hate you, hate your the maiden said
And her eyelids -drooped-and her face grew
red.
And she turned from her lover and hung her
head
The flush creptn up TO her rich brown hair,
And she plucked to pieces Il rosebud fair
AS she stole glance of her lover there.
And he, these men are so full of guile;
His eyes, a giiStening with mirth the while,
Looked calmly on, with doubling smile.
II hate YOU hate you - she said again
And she tapped her toe on the carpet then,
AS If each tap were stab at men.
Her lip was a-quver. her eyes in mist,
Her cheek and throat as the sul-godS kissed,
We're bathed in the essence of amethyst.
And then her love. with a startled look,
Geew serious quite. and his face forsook
The confident glow which it erstwhi!e took.
And "Oh. very WELL" as he rose to go;
''And If it please you to nave II so
Why so shall it be, as you doubtless know"
He took one step, but sudden turned
Oh, much The sweetest is bliss unearned-
And looked in the tear-wet eyes that yearned.
No word she spoke. but her arms entwined
Around his neck. Oh. Woman's mind
Is puzzle, TO which no KEY you'll find.
Upon his shoulder she laid her head
And he kissed her cheek, which was still
rose-red;
you know / hate your was all she said.

All Democrats Now.

When the victory was won and Grover
Cleveland was positive of his election
he did not forget to wire his girl friend
of his success, and Miss Folsom and
Miss Willard entertained a few of their
college friends in their room in honor
of the victory. 1t is needless to say that
the girls who were entertained were
won over to Democracy and are Dem
ocrats, because all the Wells college
girls are Democrats now through their
love tor and sympathy with Mrs. Cleye-
land.
Especially was Miss Folsom loved by
the college girls for her ability to make
fun. She was the champion story-teller
of the college. and has told many good
story at the expense of the other Still
dents. Her wit and beauty were not
unimportant, even before she entered
Wells college, for at church fair in
Buffalo she received the prize for being
the prettiest and Wittiest girl at the
fair.
Miss Folsom had too much good sense
to be overcome by the attention she re-
ceived at commencement from the other
students and their friends; for it was
known to most of them that she was
then the affianced bride of the preSi-
dent.
During the time she was at Wells she
received almost weekly great hampers
of roses and other choice flowers from
the executive mansion at Albany. while
Mr.. Cleveland was governor, and later
from Washington, when he became
president. Especially on her gradual
| ton in June, 1885, did she receive an
| abundance of the choicest eXotics and
roses from the White house conserva-
| tories. The class ivy of 'S5, which still
| Is bo II, 81
| Hall, was sent by the president to his
affianced bride, and she and her class
| mates planted it during a gentle June
| shower, near the wall OF the art hall of
| the college, where it still flourishes.
Miss FoIsom's Classmates.
The class with which Miss Folsom
| graduated numbered six. Three of the
six are married. Miss Mary Virginia
Kingsford,, of Oswego, is now Mrs.
| John ID. Higgins, of that city; Miss
Mrs. Ambrose g. McGlachlin, of
Frankfort, Ky. The other three are
Miss Minnie Rachel Alexander. of
Bridgeport, Conn.,; Miss Julia Wal
worth Severance, of Cleveland, O., and
Miss Martha Blackwell Wright, of
! Riverside, Cal. Little Ruth Cleveland
is called after bright, pretty girl, who
was student in the academic depart
ment when Miss Folsom graduated.
Her name is Miss Ruth Tappan. She
| graduated with the class of 'S9, and is a
daughter of Judge Tappan, of Potsdam,

days at Wells would be incomplete

! with whom she was on the most inti-
mate terms dnring her course.
DR.. FrISbee regarded Miss Folsom as
girl of superior mind and ability, and

received her in the middle of term and
as sophomore.
