GROVER THE SECOND.
Mrs. Cleveland Presents the Ex-
President with a Son.
PRINCETON STUDENTS JUBILANT.

They Deolase That the Boy "will En-
ter Princeton in the Class OF 1915,
and VIII Play Center Rush on the
Teams of 'I6, III, 'Is aud 'IO."
Princeton, N. r., Oct. ga son was
born to the household of Grover Cleve-
land, the former president Of the United
States, yesterday noon. 1t Is said that
the newcomer resembles his parents
In points Of good health. but neither
Mr.. Cleveland nor the three family
physicians will say anything in re-
gard to the newcomer other than he is
getting along nicely and is fine boy.
All afternoon Mr.. Cleveland received at
his home the many callers who wished
to pay their respects to him in honor
of the occasion. Some congratulated
the ex-president personally, but many
preferred to leave their cards, with
congratulations and best wishes for
mother and son. A great many tel
egrams of congratulations were re-
ceived. Among the first to proffer con-
gratulations by wire were Joseph JEFF
ferson, e. c. Benedict. former Secre-
tary Thurber and former Secretary
Carlisle.
Princeton undergraduates have taken
q great interest in the new Prince
tonian The fact that a Cleveland heir
was born was announced during the
varsity practice in the afternoon. There
was a large gathering of undergradu-
ates on the field watching the varsity
and scrub teams practice. When the
announcement was made three Prince
ton cheers were given for the boy,
three for the mother and three more for
the father. 1t Is probable that the
undergraduates will serenade former
President Cleveland and his heir at
some future date. On the college bull
letin board in front of Reunion hall
was posted this notice:
"Grover Cleveland, Jr., arrived today
at II o'clock. VIII enter Princeton
with the class Of 1916, and will play CEN
ter rush on the championship football
teams of '16, II, '18 and 49,"

continue to exist and continue to be
strong, but at the same time respect
the rights of the people-their masters.
"There is another principle of De-
mocracy which I would like to discuss.
and that is that there is no principle
closer connected with Democratic ideas
than liberty. Democratic liberty Is but
personal liberty. You have in your city
the Raines law. which makes the Ques-
tion of liberty byword. If l were In
your city l would never rest under that
odious law made by lot Of buckwheat
statesmen.|
Perry Belmont was then introduced.
He had long speech prepared. but he
cut 1t short. Nobody applauded him.
During his address he said:
What is one Of the great objects we
Democrats Of greater New York, JET
fersonian Democrats, Tammany Demo-
Gratis, are toillng for this week and
next? 1t Is the possession Of the gov
ernment at Washington for a period I
know not how long. Every one feels
1t. Is not that prize large enough to
constrain US to cease our present petty
and senseless differences over john
sonism and Georgeism and come to-
gether under the banner of Jefferson
and march to assured victory? All
else proposed by Mr.. George in his plat
form Is as insane as are his assaults
on Mr.. Croker and Mr. Sheehan."
An enthusiastic Henry George meet
ing was held at Cooper Union last
night. at which Rev. Father Ducey was
the principal speaker. Seth Low spoke
twice on Staten Island last night, and
there were numerous meetings Of the

SHERMAN IN THE CAMPAIGN.
The Secretary Writes Letter Urg
inr the Election of Hanna.

The Secretary Writes a Letter Urg-
ing the Election of Hanna.
Cincinnati, Oct. 29.-For the first time
since the beginning of the present cam
paign in Ohio Secretary Sherman has
expressed his views In the shape of a
letter addressed to the editor Of the
Cincinnati Volksblat. In which he de-
clares that the pending canvass Is a
retrial of the issues involved in last
years election. He makes long argu-
ment for the principle of protection
and against free coinage Of silver. He
regrets that precedent prevents him
from taking active part In the CAM
paign, and concludes as follows:
"As for the ticket that Is presented
by the Republican party, there ought
TO be no division Of opinion among Re-
publicans. Governor Bushnell has
proved to be an able and excellent
officer, has performed his duties to the
entire satisfaction of the people, has
been honest and faithful, and deserves
your hearty support.
1.-THE election of legislature In Ohio
is all important. 1t can more directly
affect the people of Ohio than even the
action Of congress. The election of a
senator of the United States Is involved
in the election of legislature. The
only Republican candidate who is men
toned is Mark A. Hanna. who is now
serving out the remainder of the term
to which had the honor to be elected.
His wide experience as a business man,
his generous and kindly treatment Of
his employees, his sound judgment on
all public questions of the. day ought
to secure for him the hearty support
Of every Republican member of the
legislature l will on Tuesday next,
Providence permitting. go to Mansfield
and contribute my vote not only for
his election. but for the election Of the
entire Republican Ticket

that Marion Castellane, the sailor who re.
fused to leave the ill.fated bark francesca

landed safely on shore.
Marion refused to get into the boat be-
cause he would make the thirteenth man.
As the life boat left the sinking bark tho
sailor was seen to drop on hiss knees and
start to pray.
After he finished his prayer an idea
struck him and he put 1t into service. He
built raft and then lashed himself to 1t.
Into the angry surf he jumped and was
butfeted about until finally he was washed
ashore on Tuesday below Bowers Beach.
He was removed to the hotel and Is recov.
