Former Presidents Health Givinq
Worry to Friends.

Lakewood, N. j., May 2S.-Extreme
and unreasonable heat during the past
few days has had an u~nfavorable eff
feet On former President Cleveland,
who is confined TO his bed at the Lake
wood hotel here. Several sinking
spells have been experienced within
the last few days, and if the excessive
humidity continues it is feared its eff
feet will result fatally.
Cleveland's condition has been Sc
rious for two months and while the
true news of his ailment has been kept
from the public it is known beyond
all doubt that the former president is
suffering from nee of the stomach,
which is aggravated by heat and makes
his recovery almost impossible. Report
has it that Cleveland suffered a third
sinking SPELL and was with difficulty
revived. Another report which is CIV
en- credence is that Cleveland's family
has been notified that the end may
be expected at any moment.
