A
Engagement of Miss Eleanor
Wilson and Mr. McAdoo For
mally Announced.
WEDDING ARRANGEMENTS
NOT YET EVEN DISCUSSED
Friends Preparing to Congratulate
Them Jointly Upon Appearance at
Playhouse Tonight.
Congratulations to Miss Eleanor Wil
son and Secretary McAdoo of the Treas
ury Department, whose engagement was
formally announced last night at the
White House, poured in on the couple to
day. From every part of the country,
and even from abroad, telegrams came to
both of them.
Secretary McAdoo was at his desk as
usual today, and a large number of sen
ators and representatives and government
officials called personally to offer their
congratulations. Among them was Sen
ator Hoke Smith of Georgia, which is
Mr. McAdoo's native state.
Conjectures as to the arrangements for
the wedding, including whether it will
be as elaborate as that of Miss Jessie
Wilson and Francis B. Say re were set at
rest by unofficial word from the White
House that this question has not yet even
been discussed. It was generally expected
that it will be a June wedding, but no
official word was given out on t.hat point.
Secretary McAdoo and Miss Wilson are
expected to appear in public together
for the first time since the announce
ment of their engagement at the Play
house tonight, and their friends here are
prepared to congratulate them jointly at
that time.
"Thirteen" Figures in Romance.
I-ike many important happenings in the
VV ilson family, the announcement of the
engagement was entwined with the mystic
number "13." Yesterday was not only
the 13th of the month, but it was Friday
the loth. And to carry the coincidence
further, Eleanor Wilson and William Mc
Adoo both have thirteen letters in their
names, as have Woodrow Wilson as well
as Jessie W. Wilson and Francis B. Sayre.
the last White House bridal couple.
The announcement of the engagement
was issued by Secretary Tumulty from
the \\ hite House in the following brief
form: "The President and Mrs. Wilson
announce the engagement of their young
est daughter. Eleanor Randolph, to Hon.
William Gibbs McAdoo."
Persistent reports of the engagement
have been current since last Saturday
night, when Secretary McAdoo gave a
dinner in honor of Miss Wilson. That
event brought to a head the rumors
which have been going the rounds of
friends of the couple for several months,
and it was considered only a matter of
time before the formal announcement
would be made.
There has been extraordinary interest in
the engagement among officials of the
government and the many friends both
Miss \\ ilson and the cabinet officer
have made during the year they have
been In Washington. The yousgest of
the family. Miss Eleanor is said to be her
father's pet. and there is a strong per
80"al *riendshiP betw?e? the President
and the man who is to marry his daugh
ter. !
Fourteenth White House flride.
Miss Wilson will be the fourteenth
White House bride, and the second of
President Wilson's daughters to marry
in the nation's Executive Mansion. Her
sister. Miss Jessie Woodrow- Wilson, be
came Mrs. Sayre in the east room No
vember 25 last. Miss Wilson will be the
sixth daughter of a President to be mar
ried in the White House. She will be
the first daughter of a President to marry
a cabinet member.
Since coming to Washington Miss Wil
son has rapidly grown accustomed to so
ciety here, and has made many friends.
She was a bridesmaid at her sister's wed
ding in November. It is generally ex
pected that Miss Margaret Wilson, her
eldest sister, will be her maid of honor.
It is taken for granted in Washington
society that the ceremony will be cele
brated in the White House, and will be
even more elaborate than the wedding of
Mr. and Mrs. Sayre. Both the prospec
tive bride and bridegroom have made
many friends, and the prominence of
both is taken as an indication that the
forthcoming wedding will be a great so
cial pvent.
Miss Wilson and Miss Nona McAdoo
have been warm friends, and are seen
together frequently, and it is said that
all of Secretary McAdoo's children think
highly of their prospective stepmother.
Miss Wilson was educated in private
schools at Princeton and then spent
two years in St. Mary's College at Ra
leigh. N. C.. of which the president was
Dr. McNeelv Dubose, whose wife was
an intimate friend of Mrs. Wilson. She
had acquired a taste for painting from
her mother, and spent two years, after
leaving St. Mary's, in studying at the
Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
Detained by Mexican Rebels.
Miss Wilson has had some experience
with civil war In Mexico. In January.
1913. she was a visitor with the family
of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Hutching of the
Madera Lumber Company, at their
iiome near Madero. In the state of Chi
huahua, where she joined several hunt
ing parties after big game in the
Sierra. Madre. While she was there the
rebels rose against the Madero govern
ment. Madera, which was a rebel
stronghold, was taken by the govern
ment forces, and Miss Wilson was de
tained there for several days. Covered
with alkali dust, wrapped in a Mexi
can variegated serape, which she had
received from an insurrecto officer, she
arrived at El Paso February 25, after
having been released from detention
at M&dera.
Mr. McAdoo was born at Marietta,
Ga., October 3, 1863. He attended the
University of Tennessee, but left col
lege in his junior year to become dep
uty clerk of the ITnited States circuit
court at Chattanooga. He was admit
ted to the bar at the age of twenty-one
years and practiced for a while in
Chattanooga. He became interested
in railroad affairs when he held the
post of division counsel for the Central
Railroad and Banking Company and
the Richmond and Danville railroad.
He went to New York in 1892, arid
in 1898 formed a partnership with Wil
liam McAdoo, afterward chief magis
trate of New York city. In 1902 he
organized the company which acquired
the old tunnel under the Hudson that
was begun in 187-1, and proved a fail
ure. In 1903 he was elected president
of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad
Company, the seventy-million-dollar
corporation which built and controls
the Hudson river tubes.
Mr. McAdoo's first wife was Sarah
Houston Fleming, whom he married in
1885. He has six children, the eldest
daughter and eldest son being married
The eldest son is Francis H. McAdoo
who married Miss Ethel McCormack of
Baltimore last September. Miss Nona
McAdoo is the present head of her
father's home on Massachusetts ave
nue.

her marched a body of women, three
hundred strong, of many nationalities.
These women were workers in laundries,
telephone exchanges, mills, factoiies and
1 shops Their leader was Mrs. Olendower
I Kvans of Boston. The workers, dele
gates from the Women's Industrial Union,
followed her through the doors leading,
into the executive offices of the White
House until the delegation stood face tu j
face with President Wilson.
These women had come to Washington
to lay before the President what they
termed "the economic necessity of the
ballot for working women." and to aslt
him to recommend to his P"ty(>th? *

FORMER SLAVE HELD
.OFFICE MANY YEARS!
Lindsay Winslow Dead, After j
Forty-Two Years in the
War Department.
Lindsay Winslow, horn a slave, for
forty-two year8 a messenger in the War
Department, body servant to a succes
sion of commanding generals of the
army, and known to every officer in the
military service, died from a stroke of
apoplexy, at 11:45 o'clock last night, at
his home, 1014 R street. Messenger Lind
say. slightly lame from a paralytic
stroke suffered two years ago, was at
his post yesterday. He was fifty-nine
years old, having been appointed in the
government service when a youth of
seventeen years.
His widow and one daughter survive
him. The funeral will be held Tuesday,
with services at Metropolitan Baptist
Church, of which he had been long a
member. The place of interment has not
been determined.
Belonged to Virginia Family.
Landsay was born in 1853, the property
of the Temple family of Fredericksburg,
Va. Miss Temple, one of the daughters
of the family, who now livea in Rich
mond, Va.. never came to Washington
without calling on the old family slave,
whom she held in great esteem and
watched over.
It was during the civil war that Lind
say first made acquaintance with the
, army, with which he was to be assoei
! ated for the rest of his life. In 1H0C?,
I when ten years old, he used to sell pies
! to the soldiers of the army, eneamped
| near Fredericksburg. One of the vet
j erans of that campaign, now an official
j of the War Department, tells of an at
tack of indigestion which he charges
against a bit of pastry bought from
Lindsay.
A year ago Lindsay made his first ap
pearance as an actor. In the role of
himself, playing the part of a messenger
to the commanding officer of the army,
in a playlet written by Capt. McCoy of
the army, he appeared when the play
was presented at the dinner of tne Cara
ba<> Society.
Lindsay saw service in Cuba during
the Spanish-American war. Detached
from the War Department, he accom
panied Gen. Bell, in command of the
army of pacification, and was his per
sonal attendant throughout the cam
paign.
Appointed in 1872.
Appointed a laborer in the War De
partment July 1, 187-', Lindsay was given
a fireman's job November 1, the same
year. July 17, 16*9, he was made a mes
senger. Transferred to the door of the
adjutant general of the army, at that
time the commanding officer of the mili
tary service, November 4. 1879, Lindsay
was given the rank of an assistant mes
