tary of the treasury in Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet, has said of the incident: 81

it almost took my breath away, and

did not think there was enough in the
controversy to cause war between
the two countries which were SO close

course, such measures as could be
taken with the means in hand to be
prepared in case of trouble were taken
by the navy department, but there
was neither time nor money nor oppor-
tunity to make any extensive prepare

Princeton.-The funeral of Grover
Cleveland was marked by extreme
simplicity. No pomp nor splendor had
place in the ceremonies. There were
no bands to play dirges on the way to
the old Princeton cemetery, no mill
tary escort, no eulogy by the officiating
clergymen.
The half mile of thoroughfare
through which the cortege passed
from Westland, the Cleveland home
on Bayard lane, to the cemetery was
policed by mounted troops, but they
were there for police duty and as a
measure of precaution in protecting
the living president rather than for
display in paying tribute to de-
parted chief executive.
Four clergymen officiated at the
house and at the grave. They read
the burial service from the Presby-
terrain Book of Common Worship, but
offered no eulogy. This simple but
impressive service was conducted by
DR.. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton,
Rev. DR.. Williams r. Richards, pastor
of the Brick Presbyterian church of
New York; Rev. Sylvester w. Beach,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
of Princeton, where the Cleveland
family attended, and Rev. Maitland v.
Bartlett, former pastor of the same
church.
There were no honorary pallbear-
ers. Those who bore Mr.. Clevelands
body to it's final resting place in the
Cleveland plot were Mayor George B.
Mcclellan, Paul Morton, Commodore
E. c. Benedict, Richard Watson Gil
der of New York; Prof. Paul Van
Dyke, Dean Andrew F. West, Prof.
John G. Hibben, Juniuss S. Morgan, a
nephew of ]. Pierpont Morgan; A. d.
Russell, Prof. Howard McLenahan,
and Bayard Stockton of Princeton.
The simple Presbyterian service was
said at the grave, the casket lowered
into the ground, and one of the coun-
try's most distinguished citizens had
become but memory. A silver plate
on the casket bore the inscription:
Grover Cleveland, March Is, 1887
June "a, 1905"
President Roosevelt, Gov. Fort of
New Jersey, Gov. Hughes of New
York, Gov Hoke Smith of Georgia,
members of President Cleveland's cab
met, and other notable citizens at
tended the funeral. After the cere-
mony the president left Princeton at
once in his private car Signet.

1t was an honorable title. Buffalo had
long been in the grip of INSCRIPTIONS
politicians.
Grown arrogant from power and rich
from graft, they had come to regard
rule wholly to their interest as a
settled right. Mayor Cleveland dis
abused their minds. Raids on the
treasury were blocked by his veto.
Officeholders were warned that their
allegiance was due the people. Claims
of friendship and the pressure of pow
erful influence were without effect up
on him. His sturdy fights in the inter-
est of his employer" were widely pub
lished and attracted attention through
out the state.
Governor of New York.
So it happened that when the Dem
ocrats in 1882 cast about for can
didate for governor their eye natur-
ally turned toward Buffalo. Grover
Cleveland was placed at the head of
their ticket. He was elected over
Charles ]. Folger, then secretary of
the treasury, by 100000 plurality.
Cleveland's record as mayor and his
overwhelming victory in the election
made him national figure. There was
widespread curiosity as to the course
he would pursue as governor. He
gained new celebrity through his We
toes. He refrained from discourses
on public affairs and framed no theory
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-07-03

Of government, but he gave keen at.
tention to the matters brought before
him for action. When these seemed
Dot 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 &C
ton.
On July II, 1884, 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 a strong voice he
delivered his address of 5000 words.
and he shattered all precedents by Civ
ing it 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
congress convened, and before Mr.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-07-03

tice Of law. He also maintained a
keen interest in politics. In 1866 he
was chairman of the county commit
tee. He had few intimate friends,
but was favored by strong follow
ing of men attracted by his power Of
leadership. In 1870 he was elected
sheriff and filled the Office for three
years.
Then he returned to law Success
was gained by hard, faithful work. He
had never been accused of being bril-
liant, but he was thorough, and gained
by conscientious digging the victory
that came to others by so-called gen.
ius.
In 1881 he was elected mayor of Buff
falo, as a Democrat, by a plurality
of $500. The candidates on the Repub-
lican state ticket carried the city by
1000. After the election Cleveland
said in a letter to his brother that he
proposed to stand in the relation of an
employe to the people of the city. His
one aim would be to render faithful
service to his employer.
In carrying out this resolution he
became known as the veto mayor"

from 1893 to 1897, died at $40 O'clock this

In testimony of the respect in which

Though He Had Long Been iii.
Great Democrat, Twice President of the United
States, Dies at His Home in Princeton, Aged
Seventy One Years---Sketch of His Career,
from Poor Boy to the Highest Elective Office
in the World---Famous Venezuelan Message

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 a complete sur
prise.
A statement, signed by DR.. Joseph
B. Bryant, DR.. George R. Lockwood
and DR.. ]. 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"

"The wedding, reception, honey

ner. ball and opera costumes Of
Archduchess Henriette and all the
other costumes which go to make up
trousseau of great beauty and
value" says a Vienna paper, were
recently exhibited by the makers at
their Karlsplatz establishment. There
was on view at the same time nearly
a priceless art collection, entrance to
both places free. 1t was curious to
note how many women. went to see
the trousseau, and how few cared for
the other works of art. That was
proof of the patriotism of the women
for, surely, no woman cares what
another one wears"
