NV 6SNS NAte
Princeton, N. j., June 25.-Arrauge-
ments for the funeral of the lsts Prtsl-
dent Cleveland occupied the attention of
those to whom the widow has intrusteG
this task, but they will not be completed
until the srrival of President Roosevelt
who is expected here about noon to-
morrow.
Mrs. Cleveland continues to bear up
well. She had comparatively good
rest last night although she remained up
until late hour going over the details
OF the funeral.
The city is beginning to fill up with
visitors who have come to pay the last
trbuts to the distinguished dead, and to
handle the large crowd that is expected
tomorrow, the police force has been en-
larged.
Esther and Richsrd, the only Cleve-
land children who will attend the
funeral, are expected to arrive this
evening. Friends OF the family fear that
the meeting between the bereaved mother
and children will result, at least, in q
partial breakdown of the former.
The simplicity of the funeral viii be
most marked. Only those invited will
BE- permitted to enter the grounds, and
the services will be brief.
A death mask of Mr. Cleveland will
be taken today, Mrs. Cleveland having
given her consent b the reproduction
in clay of her dead husbands features.
She refuses, however, to have the re-
mains lie in state.
The coffin is of qusrter-sawed oak and
simple in design. The plain silver plate
will bear the words: "Grover Cleveland,
March Is, 1887; June "a, 1905"

panied by Mrs. John Fl. Finley, of New
York, Richard and Esther Cleveland,
two OF the children of the late Presi-
dent Cleveland lett today for Princeton
II attend the funeral of their father.
The girls are grief-stricken and refuse to
be consoled. They were deyotedly at
tached to their father and his death is q
sad blow ID them.
Messages of sympathy continue TO
pour in on Mrs. Cleveland. Every royal
family OF Europe has been hesrd from.
Among the messages received were the
following
"Grestly shocked over the sad intelli-
geDce and hasten 10 tender my deep con-
dolence and sincere sympathy for the
great bereavement which has befallen
you. BARON TAKAHIRA."
"Mrs. Bryan joins me in sending SYM
patty and condolences.
"W. ]. BRYAN"

eabled:

most respectful condolences for the mis-
fortune which has come to you."

announced this afternoon: Paul Nor
ton, President of The Equitable Life
Assurance Society; L. q. Benedict, Of
New York; DR.. Henry Van Dyke, John
HibReD, Prof. Andrew West, dean of
the graduate college OF Princeton Uni
versily, and President John Finley, OF

of the First Presbyterian Church OF

THE action of this government in
breaking off diplomatic relations with
Venezuela is said in Washington ID be
he result of plan carefully considered
by the State Department. 1t was an
interesting coincidence that American
diplomatic relations with Venezuela
should have been severed on the very
day of the death of former President
Grover Cleveland. Little more than a
dozen years ago he risked in Venezuela's
behalf rupture of relations with Eng
land, the most formidable of European
powers, and thus saved that republic
from being summarily shorn of large
part Of its territory.

Refused to Grant Special License i.

London, June 25.-Archbishop CAN
terbury has refused to grant special
license for the marriage of Nine. Anna
Gould and Prince Helie do Ssgan, and
it looks as though the couple would have
to await the expiration of their three
weeks residence in England before the
ceremony can be performed. The couple
sought aid from both the French aud
American embassies, but got no assist
ance from either. The archbishop
would undoubtedly have granted special
license had it not been for the fact that
Nine. GOnldis divorced woman. Any
special license issued in England requires
publicity, and as both the countess aud
prince sre seeking quiet marriage they
are more or less resigned to wait until
an ordinary license can be granted.
The two sre still stopping at the Savoy
and are seen much in each others com
pany. Nearly every afternoon they go
automobiling and usually dine together.

EXPLOSION IN CATHEDRAL.

While Ger iinal Agostino Richelmy,
Archbishop Of Turin, was celebrating
ponlifcal mass 10 the cathedral in Rome
yesterday in honor OF the feast of ST..
John, the city's patron saint, pttlrd
exploded within the building. making a
terrific din. The congregation, which
WAS composed mostly of women, was
thrown into st.ts of panic, and made a
wild rash for the doors. Many persons
we're thrown down and trampled upon,
some thus receiving severe Injuries.
Nobody was wounded by the explosion.
Tue petard consisted of tin box con-
tanning Runpowder and revolver CAL
tridges. The effects of the explosion we're
lts,oned by the fact that the cartridges
did not explode. 1t is believed that the
author of the outrage was seeking the
life of Cardinal Richelmy, to whom the
pope has tslegraphed congratulations
upon his escape.

SALT AS A FERTILIZER

Salt has long been recognized as
a valuable fertilizing agent, es-
pecially for use on light, sandy or
WORKOUT land. 1t is claimed that
an oat crop on such soil is more than
doubled by the use of salt.
Farmers of Northern Vermont
have been accustomed for many
wears to obtain their Fertilizing
Salt of c. S. Page of Hyde Park, Vt.
The Salt he sells is that which has
been used on Hides, Skins, ETC.. in
his hidehouse and contains more or
less waste matter that really adds
to its fertilizing value. Last wear
the demand far exceeded the supply
and Mr. Pages stock was exhausted
early in the season, so that he was
obliged to disappoint many farmers
who sent in their orders late. 1t is
therefore, that farmers
who intend using Pages Salt this
season should place their orders
early.
The price this year is only $500
per ton, t. o. b. Hyde Park. The
company makes an especial
" low rate on twelve ton carloads.
If you viii write Mr.. Page. he will
ell YOU the exact rate to your sta
ion.
