THE BIRTHPLACE OF GROVER CLEVELAND.
well, who, when the gun wadding Of the
Continental troops gave out at the bait
tie Of Springfield, n. j., broke into a
nearby church and confiscated an arm
full of hymnbooks. These he tore up
and gave to the soldiers for wadding.
"Give 'em Watts, boysr he cried, and
they did and won the fight.
Caldwell is distinguished for another
and at the present time a more interest
ing reason. Within the walls of the
Presbyterian parsonage Of the place a
boy baby was born some fifty-five years
ago who was destined to be twice elect
ed president Of the United States. 1t
was to see this house and to talk with
any who might remember the Cleveland
family that | made yesterdays pilgrim
age.
It goes without saying that the people
of Caldwell, regardless Of party ties,
take pleasure in showing visitors the
birthplace Of Grover Cleveland. The
house is a plain, brown painted struc-
ture, and stands little back from the
main street, not far from the railroad
spur that winds across the marshes and
over the mountains from Jersey City to
Caldwell. Graceful elms wave over the
lawn, and an old fashioned picket fence
extends along the street front. There
has been little change ia the appearance
of the house since the days Of the Cleve-
land family in Caldwell. The porches
have been modernized, the front gable
and the low IL" to the rear have been
added, and the by window panes
have been replaced by larger glass. The
old wide weatherboards remain as they
were at first.
The Rev. Richard F. Cleveland was
"called' to the pastorate Of the Cald-
well Presbyterian church in 1884. l
have copied the original minute Of the
meeting that was held to authorize this
"call' and here reproduce its quaint
spelling and phraseology:
April Is, 1884
The Church and Congregation Meet Agre-
able TO previous notice given. Elected william
Gould, Esq, Moderator, when tho following
Business was transacted;
lst Resolved, that Make ont a Call for the

BRDGEPoRT, Conn, Dec. 1.-The man.
ager and employees at the winter quar-
ters Of the Barnum & Bailey show in
this city received q hair raising shock
q few days ago from which they have
not yet recovered. One day recently
'Tody" Hamilton, the press agento OF the
firm, who has charge of the quarters
during the winter, was approached BY
a big hulking German. who said his
name was Hans. He was looking for
work, and as it happened a man was
needed about the place he was engaged
to clean out the cages of the tigers and
lions. He was put to work at once, and
Mr.. Hamilton Went off.
On returning he looked for his new
man for some time without finding any
trace of him, but on prosecuting his
search further he was paralyzed. with
horror as he approached the cage Of the
largest and fiercest lions in the place to
see Hans inside the cage. He was go
ing about his work calmly and method
ically, wholly unconscious of his danger
Slowly and vigorously he swept the fool
with worn broom, which he occasion
ally shook in the faces of the lingly
beasts when he wanted them TO move
ont Of the way. The lions seemed to be
surprised and almost stunned at the SUI
preme indifference Of the man and kept
huddled together in one corner Of the
cage until he wanted to clean that par-
tieular spot, when he coolly walked over,
and prodding them with his broom as
if they were so many eats made them
trot over 20 the other side.
AS soon MS Mr. Hamilton recovered
from his amazeinent he hurriedly col
lected us many men AS he could find ana
returned to the cage, fully expecting to
see the German torn to pieces. He at
once ordered tho venturesome Hans ont
of the cage. but Hans laughed at Mr.
Hamilton's fears and wanted to finish
his job. He finally obeyed orders and
quietly climbed down without a scratch.
The animals are considered the most
bloodthirstv and treaeher0us ia the cir
Gus, and the greatest care has always
been exercised in dealing with them.
The German. however. could not be
convinced that he stood in any danger,
and it was some time before he could be
induced to use the long rakcs which are
always employed in cleaning ont the
cages Of the lions and tigers. The only
explanation that can be given of the
mans escape from a horrible death is
that the beasts must have been CON
WINGED from Hans steady use of the
broom and the way in which he poked
1t into their faces that they were deai-
ing with an animal of some new species
which they had never seen before.

her.iime, and she was notable, therefor
TO 70 about much among her neighbor /,
! remember perfectly how on Suuda |
mornings she used 20 so down the cente
aisle Of the old wooden meeting house,
that has since burned down, with her
little flock leading and following her to
the minister's pew
Mrs. zenas Crane, who died only last
year." continued Mrs. Bacl1us, twas
q good friend Of Grover Cleveland's
mother and used often to drop in and
render such neighborly kindnesses as
would be especially acceptable to the
young minister's wife. Mrs. Crane held
the president in embryo on her lap and
sang him to sleep many times while the
mother cared for the other children Of
the family"
Mrs. Backus' memory goes away back
to the days before Mr.. Cleveland be-
came pastor. IN those times there
were no stoves in the Caldwell church,
and the people had to keep warm in the
winter by means of curious little foot
stoves in which fires of corneobs were
built.
There was considerable opposition to
the introduction of the new tangled heat
ing apparatus. The purchase Of two
box stoves in which chunks Of wood
were burned was approved at some
what stormy meeting Of the church and
congregation on Jan. 1, 1898. and one
"Doct. Orion" was instructed to get
them. The church edihce was not pro-
yided with chimneys, and SO the stoves
were placed in two corners of the build
ing, and the smoke was carried away by
stovepipes that stuck out Of the win
dows. Some scandal arose at one time,
according to Mrs. Baclus' memory, be-
cause certain persons of the male persua-
sion were careless in their use Of to-
bacco, and the church finally passed a
formal resolution to the effect that those
who must chew during divine service
should ''provide themselves with boxes
to spit in, and not spit on the floor Of
the meeting house."
The Rev. Mr.. Cleveland had not long
been pastor Of the Caldwell church when
the $3.50 salary which was agreed upon
was found to be inadequate to the sup
port of his constantly increasing family,
and the quaint old church record book,
from which have already made an ex-
tract, contains a copy of letter which
the minister transmitted to the church
on Jan. 2, 1887. 1t set forth in simple,
direct phrase that he must have larger
income or resign his place in Caldwell.
The letter produced the desired result.
Under date Of Jan. 26 1887, a minute
appears Of meeting at which it was de-
cided, by vote Of is to IS, to increase
the pastors salary to 5000 year. On
Jan. /, 1871, it was mutually agreed
that church and pastor would do better
apart, and n few weeks afterward the
Cleveland family moved away from the
pretty mountain village of Caldwell.
