SORROW IN PRINCETON.

The news of MIR. Cleveland death
came as sudden shock to the peo-
pie of Princeton, as 1t did to the peo-
pie of the rest of the world. Every
body in Princeton knew that he was
sick and was interested in him, but
none seemed to think the end was so
near. As the news spread about the
university, flags were placed at half
staff and everybody was disposed to
stop and talk and express regrets and
extoll Mr.. Cleveland's virtues.
Many intimate friends of the fam
lily and many others not so close call
ed at the Cleveland home. Few were
able to see Mrs. Cleveland and all Of
them left cards.
The visitors. newspapermen, pho
tographers and others, became so nu-
merous that the police authorities
placed policeman on guard at the
Cleveland home, and no one but in
innate friends and those In charge
OF the funeral arrangements were per-
mitted to approach the house. The
Cleveland residence stands in beau
tlful spot at Bayard lane and Hodges

Mr. Cleveland became worse dur
ing the night and Mrs. Cleveland
was called to the bedside of her hus-
band. The distinguished patient
sank into uneonsciousness, from
which he recovered at times only to
suffer relapse This continued
throughout the night and early morn
ing. The last time he became un-
conscious was about two hours be-
fore he died. Death was peaceful.
Just before he died Mr. Cleveland
sought to say something, but his
words were inaudible.
The text of the official statement
given out short time after Mr..
Cleveland's death was as follows;
'fMr. Cleveland for many years
had suffered from repeated attacks
of gastritis of intestinal origin. Also
he had n long standing organic dis
ease of the heart and kidneys. Heart
failure, complicated with pulmonary
thrombosis and oedema. was the i'm
mediate cause of his death.
Some two or three hours later DR..
Bryant, in answer TO n question, said
that "the heart failure which occa-
stoned death was induced within "a
hours of the end and death was final
ly due ot that thus corroborating
the unofficial information that Mr..
Cleveland began to grow worse yes
