Princeton. N. J.. June 2s.--The fu- neral of Grover Cleveland will be marked by extreme simplicity.
 Although twice elected President or the United States no pomp or spienaor will have a place in the ceremonies. There will be no bands, to play mourn ful dirges on the way to the Princeton cemetery, no military escort, no eulogy by the oficiating clergymen. The half rnile thoroughfare through which the cortege will pass from sWestland, the Cleveland home on Bayard Lane, to the cemetery, will be policed by mounted troops and blue coated soldiers, but they will be there for police duty and as measure of precaution in protecting the living president. rather than as an clement of display in paying tribute to departed chief executive
 It has been Mrs. .Cleveland's wish to avoid anything of military nature at the funeral and 1t was only when the necessity of guarding President Roosevelt was borne upon her by those in charge of the funeral arrangements, that she consented to the presence of troops.
 The final arrangements for the cere- mony and the names of those select ed to ofilciate were announced this afternoon.
 Four clergymen will oflciate at the house and at the grave. They will read the burial services from the Pres byterian book of Common Worship. but will offer no eulogS. This simple. but impressive service will be conduct ed by pr. Henry Van Dyke. of Prince. ton; Rev. Dr. William R. Richards pas- tor of the Brick Presbyterian Church of New York Rev. Sylvester ". Beach. pastor of the First Presbyterian Church i of Princeton. where the Cleveland family attend the Rev. Maitland V. { Bartietts former pastor of the same church There wnf be no honorary

The Cleveland plot is near a small chapel which stands not far from the entrance to the cemetery. There is one grave in the plot, that of Ruth Cleve- land. and 1t is covered with ivy. While the general outline of the funeral ar- engagements were agreed on, many of the minor details were not settled until later in the day.
 Local citizens. in conjunction with the friends who are assisting Mrs. Cleveland in her hour of sorrow. today gave some attention to arrangements for the visit of President Roosevelt. He possibly will be met by a very small committee of Mir Cleveland's friends.
