DEATH CLAIMS EX-PRESlDENT

Princeton H0me-End of Notable Career
Sorrow Is Universal.
Funeral Services Are Marked by Simplicity, Without
Eulogy or Sermon-President and Other Dis

Princeton, N. j., June 25. - Grover
Cleveland, twice president of the
United States, died at $40 O'Clock
yesterday morning at his home, West
Land" in this quiet college town.
where he had lived since his retire
ment as the nations chief executive,
almost twelve years ago.
When death came, which was sud
den, there were in the death cham
Der Mrs. Cleveland, DR.. Joseph d.
Bryant of New York, Mr.. Cleveland's
family physician and personal friend;
DR.. George r. Lockwood of New York
and DR.. John NJ Carnochan of Prince
ton.
An official statement, given out and
signed by the three physicians. gave
heart trouble, superinduced by stom-
ach and kidney ailments of long stand
ing, as the cause of death.
Death Is Unexpected.
While Mr.. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years and
had lost hundred pounds in weight,
his death came Unexpectedly.
The news of Mr.. Cleveland's death
came as sudden shock to the peo-
pie of Princeton, as 1t did to the peo-
pie Of the rest of the world
1t was not until late in the day
that messages Of coincidence began to
come in from all parts of the world
to Mrs. Cleveland. One of the first
was from Mr.. Roosevelt.
So suddenly did Mr.. Cleveland's
death occur that not one of his four
children were at home. The children
are at the Cleveland summer home at
Tamworth, New Hampshire, under the
care of Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Clevelands
mother. Word was sent to them of
their fathers death, and they will
start at once for Princeton. The chill
dren are: Esther, aged fourteen: Ma
rion, aged twelve; Richard, aged ten,
and Francis Grover. aged five.
The kilograms of coincidence came
In by the hundreds from all parts of
the United States and other countries
during the day, and they continued to
pour into the telegraph Office here far
into the night. Besides President
Roosevelt's telegram, messages of
coincidence came from government
officials, governors, legislators, promi-
nuent educators and citizens of vari-
Gus walks of life.
President Roosevelt issued a proc
lamation to the people of the country
eulogizing the dead statesman, order
ing all government flags half-masted
for thirty days and directing that mill
tary and naval honors be accorded the
late president on the day of the funer

that always distinguished him in his
public career.
His attitude in the Venezuelan af-
fair won him general praise as did
also his promptness and firmness IN
suppressing the disorders growing
out Of the great railroad strike that
centered in Chicago.
When Mr. Mckinley succeeded him
in the presidency Mr.. Cleveland re-
tired to Princeton to spend the re-
mainder of his days in the quiet o..
the university town.
Mr. Cleveland was the only presi-
dent married in the White House,

At o'clock, just as the sun was

was lowered into the grave. Then
the simple burial service of the Pres

and the children, Esther and Richard.
AS they appeared upon the landing,
accompanied by DR.. Joseph D. Bryant,
the whole company rose and remain

The house services were concluded
at $50, and FIVE minutes later the
casket had been tenderly carried to

Stand With Barred Heads.
The silent crowd stood with barred
heads and the procession passed along
into Vandeventer avenue and the bell
in the tower Of Old Nassau hall tolIed
mournfully.
The cemetery was reached a few
minutes before 6 o'clock. The serv-
ices at the grave lasted less than five
minutes.
Soon after the grave was filed the
cemetery was opened to the public.
and the crowds which up to that time
had been denied admittance surged
into the grounds to view the grave
and floral display.

A REMARKABLE BLAST.

Takes Weeks Of Preparation and Hun
dreds Of Pounds of Powder.
One of the methods of Quarrying
granite is to dislodge a huge sheet
from the surface of the formation
through the medium of powder mine.
A large perpendicular shaft is first
blasted to a depth of about thirty feet
At the bottom of this and radiating
horizontally, like the spokes of a huge
wheel. long holes are drilled.
Tie extremities Of these holes, says
Popular Mechanics, are then shot with
light charges OF dynamite in order to
create chambers large enough to re-
ceive large quantities of black powder.
This takes weeks of ever increasing
charges
Then the final charge is loaded. The
now huge chambers at the extremities
of the spokes are packed with hum
dreds of pounds of powder, numerous
electric wires attached, and the whole
mine tamped with fine mat rial. A

torial election, as Indicative of the
probability of his carrying New York
and of attracting the Independent
vote. secured him the Democratic
nomination for the presidency in 1884.
In the November election the popular
vote cast for Mr.. Cleveland was 4,911,-
OFT, as against 4,S4S,334 cast for Mr.
Blaine.
Cleveland's first administration was
marked by general prosperity; by the
admission of four new states (Wash-
ington, Montana, North Dakota and
South Dakota) to the Union, and by
freer use of the veto power than
had generally been exercised by other
presidents On the meeting of con-
gress, in December, 1887, he devoted
his annual message mainly to the adj
vocacy of a reduction in tariff iu-ies
In order to prevent the further in

States treasury This message occa-
stoned a prolonged discussion OF the
principles of protection and furnished

paign in 1888, when Mr. Cleveland
was renominated by the Democrats
and Benjamin Harrison was chosen
as the Republican candidate. AL
though the former received a popular
majority larger than he had in 1884,
the latter had the greater number Of
electoral votes, and accordingly on
March 4, 1889, Mr.. Cleveland left
Washington and removed to New
York to engage in the practice of law.
Continued Same Policy.
Cleveland's second administration
was simply continuation of the pol

term. New questions arose of the
greatest Importance, but he met them
