Princeton, n. J.-Grover Cleveland,
twice president Of the United States,
died suddenly Wednesday at his home
here.
Mr.. Cleveland had been a sufferer
from govt and diabetes for more than
two years. Early in 1906 he was
stricken with an attack of indigestion,
the result Of diabetes, and for weeks
was unable to partake Of any except
liquid nourishment.
A sojourn in the south improved
his health considerably, and his sud
den demise comes as complete sur
prise.
A statement, signed by DR.. Joseph
ID. Bryant. DR.. George r. Lockwood
and DR.. J. M. Camochan, explaining the
death Of their patient, was given out:
'Mr. Cleveland for many years has
suffered from repeated attacks Of gas
trail intestinal origin. Also he has a
long-standing organic disease Of the
heart and kidneys and heart failure
complicated with pulmonary throm-
bosis and oedema were the immediate
causes of his death"

Of government. but he gave keen At
tention to the matters brought before
him for action. When these seemed
not to be for the public good his dis
approval was expressed promptly and
with the plainest words In his vocab-
ulary. From IL to IA hours a day were
devoted to the investigation of bills
and reports submitted to him for ac-
ton.
On July IL, 1854. in Chicago. he was
nominated to oppose James G.. Blaine
In the campaign for the presidency.
A slender plurality in New York state
turned the scale and he became the
first Democratic president since the
civil war. The second time In his
life that he visited Washington was
when he went to the capital to take
office as president. His bearing on
the stand erected for the inaugural re-
vealed his masterful character to the
experienced statesmen who sat around
him. Stretched before him were more
people than he had ever seen assem-
bled for any purpose. They were en-
thusiastic, but neither their demon
STATIONS nor thought of the grave re-
sponsibilities he was about to assume
affected him in the slightest degree.
He was calm as any man there hav-
ing nothing at stake. When the time
came to speak he advanced to the bar
firmly and coolly as lawyer in court.
Deliberately and In strong voice he
delivered his address of 5000 words,
and he shattered all presidents by CIV
ing 1t from memory instead Of from
manuscript He declared for the Mon
roe doctrine, economy, protection of
the Indians, security of the freedmen,
and for civil service.
Famous Venezuelan Message.
The death of Mr. Cleveland will
recall to all the days when he
was the most forecful figure in
American public life. Nothing
which he ever did while pres
ident attracted more attention than
the famous message he sent to con-
gress in December, 1895, on the sub
ject of Great Britain's controversy
with Venezuela over the boundary be-
tween the latter country and British
Guiana The foundation for Mr.. Cleve-
lands message was the note of Secre-
tary of State Olney to Lord Salisbury,
the British minister for foreign affairs.
That note was written during the con-
gressional recess, three months before
congress convened, and before Mr..

Berlin. Jan. 2.-More than score
of clues have been followed up by the
Berlin police In connection with the
mysterious murder of Herr Max Leh-
mann, but none OF them has proved
successful The crime Is one of the
lrnost mysterious that has taken place
here in years.
Herr Lehman. the victim, was a
bachelor of considerable means, who
lin addition to other speculations lent
money at low rates of interest to
small tradesmen. He lived alone in
"a fiat did Eis own cooking, and was
very reserved in his ways. He had
lived in London several years. spoke
fluent English and was we'll known
to the American and English colony
In Berlin.
Lehmann's landlord having seen
nothing of his lodger for more than
a week reported the matter 70 the
police, fearing that something was
wrong. The door was broken open
and Lehmanns body was discovered
in a pool of blood. Nearby was an
over turned chair. The dead mans
skull and jaw were battered, and he
had a bullet wound in his cheek, be-
sides deep gashes in his face and
neck. The walls were bespattered
with blood, and everything indicated
that terrible struggle had taken
place. Near the body was a news
paper The authorities concluded that
the murder was committed while Leh-
mann was reading. 1t is suspected
that the motive was robbery, but ow-
ing to the fact that the victim had
never taken anyone into his conn
dence in regard to his business or
financial affairs 1t has been found I'M
possible to definitely determine the
cause of the tragedy. The dead mans
papers and correspondence were
found apparently untouched.
