Mrs. Grover Cleveland Bride Of Mr. Thomas J. Preston, Jr.

At Princeton, N. J., Monday occurred the marriage of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of the former president, to Mr. Thomas J. Preston, Jr., a member of the faculty of Wells college. People as old as the writer will recall that the newspapers talked very much about the difficulty that President Cleveland had in inducing her to marry him, and that their courtship covered a number of years, during which Mr. Cleveland made proposals to her at various epochs in his life and that she did not finally promise to became his bride until he was elected president. Now, he has been dead but a few years and his widow is again married. Which all goes to substantiate the old saying: “When you court a maiden, Feign, lie and flatter; When yop court a widow, Why, jdst go right at her.”
