princeton. n. J., June 25.-Con-
trary To all precedent. after the
death OF ex-presidents OF the United
States, the body OF Grover Cleye-
land will not lie in state. This was
in accordance with the decision OF
Mrs. Cleveland today. The wife OF
the former president decided that
the funeral OF her husband shall he
or the quietest and simplest possi-
Die. She has told intimate friends
now with her here that she could
notbear funeral that would be a
great public function and while
she appreciated deeply the sorrow
that MIR. Cleveland's death has
caused among public men through
out the country. she wishes only a
private funeral Mrs. Cleveland
mala special request OF Mayor
Robertson, of Princeton. today
that there be no formal or official
reception of President Roosevelt.
She said that as the president was
| coming to Princeton as a private
citizen such reception was unneces-
sary. She asked that the same
hold good in regard to Gov. Fort
of New Jersey and his stan. who
will also attend the funeral as prl-

presented to the University by
Laurence Hutton. The body OF tho
eX-president was prepared for
burial today by John A. Stead. of
Princeton According u Mr.. Stead.
Mr.. Cleveland weighed less than
$50 pounds and It is said that the
excessive heat Of the past week
has materially FASTENED his end
and caused him to lose flesh rapid
ly. His normal weight was in eX-
cess of 24O pounds. According to
friends OF the Cleveland family.
Mr.. Cleveland died virtually a poor
man. 1t was generally believed
that he had managed to save a con
siderable fortune but it appears
that he has left his family little
more than thn two residences, one
at Princeton and one at Buzzard $
Bay.
