BUSY TIMES AT THE WHITE HOUSE! —— Preparations for the Joyous Event of This Evening. —_+___ THE ARRIVAL OF MISS FOLSOM—THE PRESI- DENT BUSY AT HIS DESK TO-DAY—COL. LA- MONT SUPERINTENDING THE WEDDING PREP- ARATIONS—THE MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUED TO-DAY. ‘Miss Folsom spent yesterday morning quietly in New York. At 1 o'clock she was alone with her mother and busy with her correspondence. At 6:30 she dined with her mother and Mr. Folsom. By 7:30 Miss Folsom bad completed the preparations for her journey, She wasthen dressed in a close-fitting black silk dress, and wore a peak chip hat with a high white feather, Accompanied by her mother and Mr. Folsom ‘she took President Robert’s private caron the 9:20 train for Washington. The train was composed of four cars besides the private car. MISS FOLSOM AT THE WHITE HOUSE, The journey from New York was a very quiet and uneventful one, and the travelers arrived in safety shortly after 5 o'clock this mernin, They were metat the station by Miss Cleveland, and were driven direct to the White House, Miss Folsom wore a gray wrap over her black silk traveling dress to protect her from the cool and damp morning atr, : A BUSY DAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE, Today was a very busy day atthe White House. The ladies who are at present located within its walls, remained in the private part of the house, and nothing was seen or heard during the day of Miss Folsom, Col. Lamont Was busy as a bee from early this morning, rushing hither and thither, in making prepara- tions for the evening’s event. He was the only person authorized to give out any information regarding the wedding, and he was very hard to cateh, and when caught as hard to hold, for he was overwhelmed with his manifold duties. ‘THE PRESIDENT AT WORK AT HIS DESK. The President did not act or look as if his wedding will take place before dark this even- ing. He was in his office as usual during the day, and was busily engaged in transacting his oflicial business. At hali-past 10 o'clock this morning ho entered Col. Lamont’s office with a large bundle of official papers in his hand, He turned them over to one of the secretaries With some instructions, and immediately dis- appeared within his office doors, The President was dressed in a dark suit of clothes. His Prince Albert coat was unbuttoned, and a low- cut vest displayed a wide expanse of white shirt bosom, “His turned-down collar was ornamented With a checkered neck-scarf,which the President had evidently tiled himself. He had anew Cas day shave, which, as usual, was performed by himself, and his hair, which has not been cutfor some time, was brushed refully back. He appeared to be in good spirits, and the brightness of his eye, which 1s his most noticeable characteristic, was in no way dimmed, MR. RISSEL AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Mr. Wilson S. Bissell, the only outside gentle- man who will be a guest at the wedding arrived in Washington on the 10 o'clock train last even- ing and was at once driven to the Arlington, where he took up his quarters. At halt-past 10 o'clock he was driven to the White House in a. public hack. The only noticeable feature about the turn out was the faded boutonniere and White gloves of the driver and the leanness of the horses. Mr. Bissell was immediately ad- mitted to the private part of the house after as- cending the public staircase and remained With the little circle that occupied it for over an hour. As he entered the hite House he lightly swung @ cane with one hand and car- ried in the other a suspicous looking package about ten inches long and four wide, which was addressed to ‘Hon. Grover Cleveland.” looked as if the President would not be fol It rot- en by his old time partner on his wedding ay. WEDDING PRESENTS BY EXPRESS, Quite a number of express packages were de- lvered at the White House this morning. Three express wagons stopped before the door before 11 o'clock, each bringing several pack- ages, some large and some small. Some were addressed to the President, some to Miss Fol- som, some to Col. Lamont‘and one to. “MURS, GROVER CLEVELAND.” Assoon as they arrived they were quickly conveyed out of sight, so that {t was impossible toeven guess thelr contents, or where they came from. Evidently the wedding will be supplemented with a goodly number of hand- some wedding presents. ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE CABINET will give individual wedding presents to the bridal couple, but will not give a joint present, It was reported that the cabinet officers would jointly give a solid silver tea set. This is denied by one of the cabinet officers. ‘THE WORK OF DECORATION. ‘The work of decorating the lower part of the house was begun as soon as the house was closed to the public yesterday afternoon and was discontinued at seven o'clock in the even- ing, only to be resumed again at six this morn: ing: A large foree of workmen were engaged upon the work. The White House was en- tirely closed to general visitors to-day, and the public reception this afternoon was omitted in consequence of the condition of the East Toom. Yesterday aiternoon and to-day large wagons kept arriving from the propagatin, ardens, loaded with large tropical plants an arrels Of moss. The former were placed in and conspicuous places in the different while the moss was used in banking the mantels and window-sills, forming a base for the myriads of flowers which were plucked from the | White House conservatories and gardens. The entire southern portion of the oval Blue parlor, where the ceremony will be performed, was A BANK OF FLOWERS, ‘The bridal couple are to face it while being made man and wife. The work of decoration was done under the direction of Col. Wilson, commissioner of public building and grounds, and Mr. Pfister, the head gardener, and was completed at an early hour this afternoon. Everything is now 1h readiness for the wed- ing. THE NOVEL FEATURES OF THE FLORAL DECO- RATIONS are confined to the Blue parlor, The East room, main corridor, and Red and Green parlors are decorated in the manner usual when official or private receptions are held at the White House. The window recesses are all filled with la palms, and, together with the curtains, will exclude all'the daylight. Banks of cut flowers inserted in a vase of moss fill all the mantels, Zhe florists! arte were mainly exercised in the Blue room,which Is decorated in an artistic and beautitul manner. The prevailing idea was to make the whole southern portion of this parlor a bank of plants and. flowers, so that It would assume the appearance of a floral bower, Roses and other cut flowers torm the base of this floral embankment. Above them are lilies apparently growing, and still higher is the graceful sweep of palms and other tropical plants. About the room are twinings of smllax and garlands of roses. THE WEDDING COLLATION will come from the White House kitchen, with the exception of the ices and cake, which will be turnished by Demonet. The bill of fare will, itis said, consist of terrapin, breasts of spring chicken, cold meats, salads, &e. ‘The weddli cake, which will orm the central figure on the table, is expected on the limited express trom New York in charge of a messenger. THE WEDDING JOURNEY, Nothing definite can be learned about the wedding journey.
