That strange co Incidence was brought to an end by Cleveland's marriage In the second year of his administration. From the day Cleveland entered the executive mansion at Albany, gossip busily made imatches for him with iono after another of the eligible women who appeare(d at his receptions. A spe clal favorite of those persistent ru miors was the pretty wIdow of one of his old law partners, Oscar Folsom, whose home was one of tihe few homes in Buffalo where this unsocial person had been in (lie habit of visiting. It was not suspected that all along his own choice had been the daughter rather than the mother. Mrs. Folsom and her daughter were guests of the president and Miss Cleve land In their first month at the White House. Even the wiseacres of Wash ington did not guess that the beautiful goung girl who was present at a re ception-all in white-would In anoth. er year be the bride of her host. Miss Folsom had graduated and was traveling in Europe when the country was set in a flutter by the announce ment of her engagement. She return ed home to meet such an ordeal as no other American girl of twenty-two ever has faced. 11er name was on every (4mgue In Ame'rica ;her portrait was in every paper, and the press boats N Mrs. Gover Cleveland. crowded about her ship from w hieh she was smauggleud abloard a rev eniue cutter' to avoldl the curious crowvd at New York dock.

No One Knows What the Situation Will be Next Winter But the Worst is Feared by Poor People who Have to Buy. How Long Will the People Stand the IExtortion of the Coal Dealers and the Italroads? rhe Dearborn Independent. No one can say whrat thie coal situ itton will be nex.t winter. It can be aid, however, what the coal opera ors wish the coal situation to be, amely, unchanged, or, If changed hen with a bit more pinch -in it. This statement is not made on the .)rinciple of "ragging" the coal men, >r of joining the choris of journai stic batters of "big business;" -'there s too miuch truth in It to permit Its Ise for these purposes. IUnfortunately the riling operators lave not yet .been cured of their "bug" .hat we ought to have "twenty-(iollar 3oal" in this country'. They so little Ipprec-late the situation that they fim igine It is only a matter of "edmucat ng" the people into the "habit" of ayin g twenity (ollars. To this ennd they have not turned Ineir hand over to apply any of the ,conomnics or efliciencies that would mnable them to put coal within the 'each of the I)eo,)lc at a price which voili not mean actual .pinching to lie purchaser. They have failed utterly as business non; they have failed utterly to ap reciate the fact that they hold their nonopoly only on sufferance; they lave lived-, as it were, in a dark mine -hemselves, oblivious to the Iossibil ty that in these days it would be I comparatively easy matter to strip hem of control ' of their monopoly nd turn coal-mining over to men vho think of something besides ex ortion. Tihe coal operators could sell coal .heaper if freight rates 'were lower d, but they (on't want freight rates owered because that would igive tihe )ublic a tasti of lower freight rates. The matter of freight rates as well is coal prices is a matter of operative Alclency, which tie controllers of 3oal -have not exhibited; they prefer to take the differenee out of the peo )lo's pocket Instead of out of. their >wn managerial brains. It is extremely doubtful if the peo )le of the U'nlited States will Col ;ent loInger than amnother winter to mnduro tine backing and illling of peo )te who speculate in coal mines in tead of mining coal. But that tie poople will probablyy !ave to feel the pinch another winter is fairly certain, it certain "under itanings" between coal operators and ,ertain members of the administra -in are faithfuIly observed.
