at Howell, saw four men, each carry
ing a bundle, leave the road near the
clubhouse and strike off afoot toward
the river. She thought nothing of the
matter until the return Of Section

tered. The officers here have been

Cleveland Remains at Lakewood.

Lakewood, N. j., April 23.-The fact
that ex-President Grover Cleveland re-
mains at the Lakewood hotel after the
hotel was closed for the season, while
his physicians are in close attendance,
has caused apprehension that his pro-
guess towards recovery from his re-
cent illness has not been as rapid as
desired.
Information Hard to Obtain.
Watchmen are constantly on guard
at the hotel and it is difficult to obtain
information as to the condition of the
former president. On Tuesday one
physician was quoted as saying that
Cleveland was no worse than at the
time of his arrival at Lakewood, and
it is generally believed that his i'll
ness is of a nature that might be ex,
pected of a man of his age.
At Lakewood Several Weeks.
Mr.. Cleveland has been stopping at
Lakewood for several weeks following
his attack of illness which began at
Princeton.
Not Sc Well as Yesterday.
At IL this morning it vas learned
that ex-President Cleveland. who is
suffering from an attack of stomach
trouble, was not quite s o well as on
yesterday. He has had similar at.
tacks in the past and it has always
been his custom to leave his home at
Princeton for Lakewood, where his re-
covery is aided by the mildness of the
climate.
Old Physician Attending.
The ex-president is attended in his
present illness by DR.. Gaudinier of
Lakewood and DR.. Joseph D. Bryant
of New York. The latter has been the
Cleveland physician for years.
