Ex.PREsIDENT CLEVELAND DEAD

Ex-Presidente Grover Cleveland, the
last surviving ex-President of the
country, died at his home in Prince
ton, New Jersey, on Wednesday morn
ing last at $40 o'clock.
He had been in failing health for
a number of months, but up to within
a few hours of his death the end was
not considered so near.
His death removes one of the most
prominent citizens of the country, In
deed we may say, the foremost OF our
citizens. His life is wonderful ex-
ample of what is possible to plain
American youth. Mr.. Cleveland had
no special advantages. of birth or sta
ton, and if he had lived in any other
country he would in all probability
have remained In an obscure position
in life. He, however had in him the
elements which go to make theatrue
man, and with the opportunities our
institutions and form of government
afford, they found development which
was truly remarkable. ....
His public career commenced with
the humber positions of official life,
and from these he rose rapidly to the
highest. He was sheriff of his county,
district attorney, mayor of Buffalo,
governor of the great state Of New
York, and then President of the United
States. In these earlier positions he
showed the sterling qualities of true
manhood. Able and careful in all
the details of these minor places in
official life, he soon attracted public
attention.
est economy in the conduct of public
office, and was the author of the Oft
quoted expression, "a public office is
public trust" Whatever differ
ences men may have had in regard to
his public policies, none questioned
his patriotic honesty, and few, COM
paratively, questioned his wisdom.
him, for they always felt they could
trust him.
His life is an inspiration to every
Americen youth, and history will write
him down as one of our greatest
Presidents. .'

An JnciyiIized Celebration.

Americans are coming to be asham-
ed of the way in which they celebrate
the Fourth of July. Every considera-
ton of safety, good taste and sincere
patriotism is hostile to the din and
danger which signalize what ought to
be sacred anniversary.
On the last five independence days
more than eleven hundred persons
were killed and the MANNED and blind
ed outnumbered the army that Wash
ington brought through the terrible
winter at Valley Forge, the army that
created independence day. We de-
liberately burn up millions of dollars
worth of explosives for the sole pur-
pose of making noise-this does not in
clude evening fireworks, which are
justified by their beauty-and we burn
up millions more in accidental fires.
Our glorious Fourth is day of anx-
iety and labor for fire departments
police departments, hospitals, sur
geons, nurses, property-owners and
parents. And all for what? Not, sure
ly, to express spontaneous joy in the
fact that our country was born, and
not to honor the memory of the men
who made the nation. The men who
prayed on Cambridge Common before
marching to battle would not feel hon
ored by ceremony which burns dowr
house, blinds child, and robs q
working man of the hand by which he
supports himself

JOY over the Ticket.

We learn from many of our Repub-
licsn contemporaries that the ticket
of Taft and Sherman affords the G..
o. P. tie keenest satisfaction. The
party organs, the politicians, such de-
voted followers of the party of high
tariff as our friends of the Union
League and the Manufacturers Club,
are all immensely pleased with the
results & Chicago and are thoroughly
the agents of the people picked out
the agents Of the people picked out of
the two best men who could have
been found.
They would have said just the same
things if the ticket had been Thiugum-
bob and Whatshisname. They would
have searched diligently for infor-
formation regarding two men of whom
most Of them had never heard before,
and they would have hailed them as
the best qualified and most popular
men in the country.
Mr.. TAFT has been so much before
the public that there is no chance to
search for undiscovered merits in him
But the efforts of our Republican
friends to convince themselves that
James Schoolcraft Sherman was the
man above all others for Vice PreSi-
dent touch us deeply. Nothing could
be more beautiful in party loyalty
A New Haven paper has no doubt
that the convention carefully picked
out Mr.. Sherman because he knows
the bushes of Congress so thoroughly
and would be strong at the only point
where the 'redoubtable Taft may be
weak. A paper in Troy thinks thai
his experience in the House especial,
qualities him for the task of presidins
over the Senate. (The Senate by the

BRYAN HAS A NEW PLAN.
VIII Use Phonograph to Get His
Speeches Into the Homes.

William Jennings Bryan has just
made another move which will carry
Joy to his followers and be not with
out interest to those who oppose him
and his ideas. Some time ago he was
approached with the suggestion that
he make some records for the Edison
Photograph. Naturally Mr.. Bryan
refused. but when it was pointed out
that in no way could he address so
many American people as through the
wonderful medium of the photograph
he saw it's possibilities at once.
The result was that special eX-
pert was sent to Bryan's home in Ne
braska and in Bryan's library were
made 10 records, each record consist
ing of an extract from one OF Bryan's
speeches. The selections were made
by Bryan himself, and comprise just
what he most wishes to say to the
public.
If he or any other candidate should
start out to make speeches and spoke
six days a week between July 1st and
November LIST, and should address an
audience of 5000 people every after
noon and another audience of 5000
people every evening, if none of these
people were the same people (Which
would be physically impossible if he
spoke twice on the same day, which
would. necessitate in many cases
speaking twice in the same town he
would only have addressed 500,0 900
people instead of 50000,000, as would
be easily possible with his 10 records.
This has opened up new POSSIBLE
ity for presidential candidates.
The genius of Thomas A. Edison,
which has already made it possible
for Tolstoi's books and writings to
be heard in the tones of Tolstoi's
voice. makes it possible for American
people to hear the voices of their can
didates in their own homes.

Ex.PRESIDENT CLEVELAND DEAD
Passed Peacefully Away at His Home
in Princeton.

Princeton N. J., June 24.-Grover
Cleveland, twice president or the
United States, died at $40 o'clock this
morning at his .. home Westland, In
this quiet college town, where he mad
lived since his retirement as the ma
tons chief executive, almost IL years
ago. Mr.. Cleveland. was IL years old
March IS last. He and Mrs. Cleve-
land celebrated the twenty-second an
niyersary of their wedding here on
June 2. The affair was very quiet be-
cause of Mr. Cleveland's illness.
An: official statement given out and
signed by the three physicians says:
"Mr. Cleveland for many years had
suffered from repeated attacks OF gas
tro-intestinal origin. Also he had
long standing organic disease OF the
heart and kidneys. Heart failure,
complicated with pulmonary throm-
bosis and oedema, was the immediate
cause of his death"
While Mr.. Cleveland had been In
poor health for the last two years and
had lost hundred pounds in weight,
his death came Unexpectedly. Al
though confined to his room continu-
ously after his return to Princeton,
it was not until yesterday that Mr..
Cleyeland's condition aroused I'M
easiness on the part of Mrs. Cleve-
land. Undoubtedly affected by the
heat, Mr.. Cleveland showed signs or
failure, and Mrs Cleveland telegraph
ed to- Dr.Bryant, who came over from
New York. Dr. Lockwood followed
Dr. Bryant. and when they reached
here DR.. Carnochan, who had been
Mr.. .Cleveland's local physician since
the former president came to Prince
ton, was also called in. During the
evening Mr.. Cleveland seemed to rally
and Mrs. Cleveland who always has
been loptismistic about her husbands
health, felt assured that it was mere
ly another of the many attacks Mr..
Cleveland had suffered, and she in
formed those who inquired that his
condition was not serious.
Mr.. Cleveland became worse during
the night. and (, Mrs. Cleveland. was
called to the bedside of her husband.
The distinguished patient sankinto I'M
from which he recov-
cred at times only to suffer a relapse.
This continued throughout the night
and early morning. The last time he
became conscious was about two
hours before he died. Death was
peaceful Just before he died Mr..
Cleveland sought to say something,
but his words were inaudible.

reason was that Japan has haa nc

So japan passed a patent law harmon

Fishing at McCall's Ferry on the

especially below the site of the NAM
moth dam. The fish seem to swarm
at that point and being unable to get
past the dam are easily caught by the
fishermen. In the early spring thou
sands of shad were caught at that
point, then same slaughter of cat
fish, and it now seems as though bass,
salmon and rock fish will be taken in
great quantities.

throughout the entire country.
The town of Messina. in Sicily, was
partly destroyed and Catania was in
undated. In Messina hundreds of
houses have fallen and many persons
have been killed Owing, however. TO
the fact that telegraphic and telephon-
ic communications were almost com
pletely destroyed, it is impossible to
obtain even an approximate idea OF
the vast damage done.
The fate of entire regions with

Is unknown, but reports re-
ceived here indicate that the havoc
has been great and the destruction to
life and property more terrible than
Italy has experienced in many years
All reports show that the present
catastrophe embraces a larger area
than the earthquake in 1905. The
tidal wave which followed the earth
shocks on the eastern coast Of Sicily
sank vessels and inundated the lower
part of Catania. 1t is known that a
number of people were killed at that
place, but the rushing waters carried
everything before them and caused
such an indescribable confusion that
1t will be impossible for some time
to estimate the damage and the lives
lost.
The city of Messina has suffered
probably more than any other place,
the latest information coming indirect
ly from that quarter stating that two
thirds of the town was destroyed and
several thousand persons killed. The
steamers Washington and Montebello,
which were in the harbor later pro-
ceeded to Catania, loaded with in
