finally left the bed. pat still remained
in his room
Since his recovery several rumors have
been heard that he had taken a sudden
turn for the worse. but none Of them was
true. and he finally contemplated going
out of doors. Another rumor suddenly
developed yesterday that he was again
in a serious condition When reporter
called at Westland, Mr.. Clevelsnd's home
on Bayard Avenue, this afternoon, Mr..
Cleveland could not be seen. but Mrs.
Cleveland gave out The following written
statement
The reports that have been published
in regard 10 MIR. Cleveland's improved

construed as Indicating his entire recov-
cry. He has already received severe
