To Leave for Chicago Tuesday

PRINCETON, n. j.. Oct. 11.-Ex-Pres-
ident Grover Cleveland arrived here In his
private car at 9 O'Clock this morning after
a tedious journey of thirty-six hours from
Buffalo. He left Buffalo Friday night after
the funeral Of ex-Postmaster General w. S.
Bissel and was expected home Saturday
morning, but the congested traffic caused
by the flood delayed the train twenty-four
hours.
When seen this evening Mr.. Cleveland
said: 1.-The trip was exceedingly tiresome,
but I felt resigned TO my fate ard knew
that the delay was inevitable. All / suf-
fered was inconvenience.
Mr.. Cleveland will rest here only a short
time, as he leaves Tuesday to deliver a

These prophets of evil were thor
oughly refuted even before the policy
of elevated station Improvement was
announced. Their refutation began al
most as soon as the Belmont manage
ment of the system took hold; more
trains, more cars and better time be-
ing provided within a week afterward.
1t is quite true that the old manage
ment had been preparing to do the
same things by electrifying the roads,
for some years. but. so far as the
thoughtless public is concerned, this
has no bearing on the case, and the
adverse sentiment toward the Goulds
because of past discomforts on the
overcrowded elevated trains is natur-
ally intensified by the forward steps
now being taken under Belmont.

In many ways he fills. and fills well,
the place left vacant by his father,
who was the first of the name. 1t is
in politics only that the present Au-
gust Belmont lags behind. In finance,
in general public spirit in gentlemanly
sports generally, especially in cross
country riding and yachting and in So
ciety, he is everything that his father
was. But politics the present August
Belmont has left to his brothers, OIL

August Belmont, who is a constant
figure in the public press of the me-
trOpolis, is as different from either
of these men as they are from each
other. Just now he is taking more
space than usual in the papers. This
is because, in way of his own, he,
too, is getting ready to make con-
ditious in New York better Mr.. Rel
mont is in no sense a reformer in
politics, but he Is about to inaugurate
reform that will make him hundreds
of thousand-perhaps millions-of
new friends. For as president of the
marlborough Traction Company,
which now controls the elevated rail-
roads and will control the subway
when 1t is finished, he has announced
that he is about to improve several
of the elevated stations; to rebuild, re-
model and otherwise make them what
such stations should be in the greatest
city of the new world.
To many this comes as a surprise,
though not to those who know Bel
mont: There were not lacking those,
when the marlborough Traction Com
pany leased the elevated, who declared
that the operation of that system by
the same company that was to control
the subway would result in neither
system being developed as it should
be nor as both would be were their
management competitive.
