An Ocean Liner Mystery.

Was John Deleau, a retired farmer,
OF Benton Harbor, murdered aboard
the ocean liner Lusitania, or did he
end his life by jumping from the boat
while In mid-ocean?
This was the question which the
family OF the man and local police Of
ficials are asking themselves. Sunday
Mrs. Deleau received telegram from
the steamship company's New York Of
fee, stating that Deleau had boarded
the Lusitania at New York, for pas
sage to England When the steamer
reached Liverpool Deleau was not to
be found.
Deleau left Benton Harbor two weeks
ago, ostensibly to visit his mother
country, France. He had several thou
sand dollars, which he intended TO in
vest in a business enterprise in that
country After leaving for New York
the family heard nothing of him until
the notice of his disappearance was
received. The captain of the liner re-
ported that while on board Deleau
showed signs OF mental alteration,
though when he left New York his
sanity was unquestioned.
The wife of the missing man is pros
trated and unable to advance any
theory for his disappearance.

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 a de-
parted chief executive.
Four clergymen officiated at the
house and at the grave. They read
the burial service from the Presby-
terian 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.. Cleveland's
body to it's final resting place in the
Cleveland plot were Mayor George B.
Mcclellan, Paul Morton, Commodore
Z. c. Benedict, Richard Watson Gil
der OF New York; Prof. Paul Van
Dyke, Dean Andrew F. West, Prof.
John G. Hibben, Junius 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 a memory. A silver plate
on the casket bore the inscription:
Grover Cleveland, March Is, 1897
June "a, 1905"
President Roosevelt, Gov. Fort OF
New Jersey, Gov. Hughes of New
York, Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia,
members of President Clevelands 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.
Mr.. Cleveland was buried here in
the family plot in the old Princeton
cemetery, where, under a little ivy
covered mound, now lies the body OF
his eldest daughter, Ruth, who died
hero at Westland In January, 1904. II
is not far from the entrance to the
cemetery on Witherspoon street, less
than a quarter of mile from the uni
versity campus, and adjoins tiny chap
ell. For many generations the presi-
dents of Princeton university have
been buried in this cemetery. Here,
too, rests the body of Lawrence Hut
ton, and not far away stands the
monument to the memory Of the bril-
liant and erratic Aaron Burr.
