sci! belongs comes from Geneva, n. Y,
and Mrs. Bissell first came to Buffalo to teach
music IN the Buffalo Seminary. She had
early shown great taste for music and
it was here that she had in part earned the
money which took her to Germany and France,
where her beautiful contralto voice had been
trained by Stockhausen and La Grange. Since
the time she and Mrs. Cleveland had been
schoolmates al Wells College she had planned
and worked and studied with the idea of be-
coming professional singer. When at last she
was fitted to appear in public professional.
one of her first engagements WAS as a soloist at
a Buffalo orchestra concert. While in that city
she was the guest of Mrs. George Sicard, wife
of one Of the members of the Bissell firm. Mr.
Bissell met her there and it was a case of .'love
at first sight on both sides. and the arrows of
Cupid drove the Goddess of Music off the field
and Louise Sturgis. the music teacher, became
Mrs. Wilson s. Bissell, the wife Of the rich
Buffalo lawyer and the future Postmaster
General

In this respect Postmaster General BisseIl
will be found Gar different from John Wana-
maker Our last Postmaster General was gen.
erally ready to talk about anything, from his
Sunday school to great postal reforms. and from
his store to the chances OF fortune making Cor
Young mer. Mr. Wanamaker a man of MANY
ideas of much shrewd common sense and of a
lively appreciation OF the value of the newspa-
per man in the way OF helping on himself and
his party. He had a frst-class newspaper man
ut . salary of $1,000 year. which he paid ont
Of his own pocket. by the way, in the person OF
Marshall Cushing. and the correspondents and
news gatherers were always welcome at his
Office. Through this his administration was
better advertised and better presented TO the
people than that OF any Postmaster General of
the past and understand that he considered
his Newspaper secretary one OF his best WASH
ington investments. II Postmaster General
Bisseu docs not change the character he had
here he will do differently. He has never had
much to do with the Newspapers and has. am
told, cut shy Of them and has apparently rather
feared them. Mr.. Wanamakaf was always ac-
cessible and have always been impressed by
his honesty and his plain practical common
sense He knew how to deal with men and he
seldom talked with person long
without making him his friend. He un-
dsrstood how to brush aside details
and make the other men work for him. The
nov Postmaster General has had to deal with

books and legal questions more than with the
managing of men. and he will not start out
with the same advantages Wanamaker's exper-
fence In his store gave him.
The two Postmasters General are the oppo-
site In appearance. Bissell weighs twice as
much as Wanamsker and he tips the beam at
about 800 pounds. His massive skull could
contain Wanamakers head and the brown hair
OF the great merchant would not touch the walls
OF BisseEs Uranium were it boxed up in its CEN
ter. Mr.. Bssells arms are big around as
Mr.. Wanamaker's calves and his thighs measure
almost much in circumference does

feet eight Bissell is six feet in his stock
ings. Both are smooth shaven, both dress in
black and are simple in their tastes.
CLEVELAND AND BIssELL
Here at Buffalo hear many comparisons Of
Cleveland and Bissell and the new Postmaster
General seems to be in most ways the twin
brother of the President Their lives have run
close together. They squalled in their cradles
ut about the same time away back in the forties.
Both came of fairly well-to-do families. Bis
sells parents being perhaps the richer and
sending him to school at Yale. Both were
bachelors till they were forty years old, their
wives are of about the same age and the two
girls went to school together. Both families
have one baby daughter. and the little
girls are Of about the same age. 1 chatted last
night with an old lawyer friend Of the two men.
Said he:
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Bissell have been
almost inseparable ever since the latter was
chief clerk in the Office of Lansing. Cleveland
& Folsom in 1870. When Mr.. Cleveland was
elected sheriff OF Erie county he wanted Mr..
Bissell to become his deputy sheriff
but the clerk thought he saw better
things ahead in the law line and de-
clined. A few months after he became the
law partner of the Hon. Lyman K. Bass and
three years later Mr.. Cleveland Joined the firm.
The two men were seen together almost
everywhere. and called each other wills and
Grove When Mr.. Cleveland married the
daughter of another of his law partners. Oscar
Folsom, Wilson Bissell was the best man, and
when the present Postmaster General married
Louise Fowler Sturgis in February. 1890, Mr..
and Mrs. Cleveland were the guests of honor.
These two men have never ceased to be "Wils'
and Grove to each other, and it is likely that
in the new administration than Wilson s. Bis
sell"
THE BIssELL-CLEvELAND LAW FIRM.
The old law firm in the Weed block, Buffalo,
of which Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Bissen were
members has probably sent out more public
men than any other in the United States, and
Mr.. Bissell is not the only Postmaster General
among them. The firm dates back to 1884
when the Hon. erasmus H. Marshall, the most
famous of western New York historians opened
his law Office. Mr.. Marshals first two partners
both left him to take public office. His third
partner was Judge Nathan K. Hail. who had I'M
til then been Willard Fillmore's law partner.
When Fillmore became President he selected
Judge Hall as his Postmaster General, after

there with Buffalo bank president. He never
was member of the fast set. however, and now
that he is married he is devoted Q husband
that he il the subject Of much good-natured
jesting.
WORD ABOUT MRS. BIssELL.
Mrs. Bissell has been living in Buffalo for
only few years but she has made herself very
popular here and find that she has many ad-
mirers and friends. She is both pretty and ac-
complished and she promises to be one Of the
Let me tell You how she looks Mrs. Bissell is tall
combed straight back without a crimp or curl
She has a good tailor, but in dress she follows
Mrs. Clevelands taste for simplicity. She car
ries her head high in the air and gives one the
energy, determination and ambition.
A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
There is az much Of q romance connected
with the Postmaster Generals marriage'as with
that of President Cleveland. Mrs. Bisselrs
maiden name was Louise Sturgis. and she comes
from an old family which is we'll known in
different parts of the Union. One branch of it
lives at Mansfield. Ohio, and one of Mrs. Bis
sells relatives there has big brick house in
the most fashionable part Of the town.
Another branch moved from Mansfield to
New York city, and Stephen Sturgis is
one o. the unknown well-to-do men Of the
metropolis. He would be called rich outside
Of New York. The branch to which Mrs. Bis

March was drawing to a close in Harvey's
Sluice. and the glare and heat of the antipodean
summer had toned down into the rich mellow
hues Of autumn.
On that particular morning the stream looked
pretty as it meandered down the valley;
pretty, too, was the long rising upland be-
hind, with its luxuriant green covering, and

as she laid down her basket Of ferns which she
was carrying and stopped upon the summit Of
the rising ground.
She stood for some time gazing at the view
before her. She glanced at the great mysteri-
Gus stretch of silent husband beside her. and
stopped to pick up her basket with the irten-
ton OF hurrying along the road in the direction
OF the Rulches. She started round and hardly
suppressed scream as q long red hanneled arm
shot out from behind her and withdrew the
basket from her very grasp.
The figure which met her eve would to some
have seemed little calculated to allav her fears
The high boots. the rough shirt and the broad
glrdle with Its weapons of death were however,
too familiar to Miss Carrie to be objects Of ter
ror; and when above them all she saw a pair of
tender blue eyes looking down upon her. and q
half-abashed smile lurking under q thick yellow
mustache, she knew that for the remainder Of
that walk ranger and black would be equally
powerless to harm her.
