While Mr.. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years
and had lost a hundred pounds of
weight, his death came Unexpectedly.
Some three weeks ago he was
brought home from Lakewood, where
his condition for a time was such
that the hotel at which he was stay
ing was kept open after its regular
season because he was too i'll to be
moved. But when MIR. Cleveland was
brought back to Princeton he showed
signs of improvement and actually
gained five pounds in weight.
Although confined to his room con-
tinuously after his return to Prince
ton, It was not until Tuesday that
Mr. Cleveland condition aroused
uneasiness on the part of Mrs. Cleve-
land. Undoubtedly affected by the
heat, Mr.. Cleveland showed signs of
failure, and Mrs. Cleveland telegraph
ed to DR.. Bryant, who came over
from New York. DR.. Lockwood fol-
lowed DR.. Bryant, and when they
reached here DR.. Carnochan, who had
been Mr.. Cleveland's local physician
since the former president came to
Princeton, was also called in. During
the evening Mr.. Cleveland seemed to
rally and Mrs. Cleveland, who always
has been optimistic about her hus-
bands health, felt assured that it was
merely another of the many attacks
Mr.. Cleveland had suffered, and she
informed those who inquired that his
condition was not serious.
The End Peaceful.
Mr. Cleveland became worse during
the night and Mrs. Cleveland was
called to the bedside of her husband.
The DISTINGUISHED patient sank into
unconsciousness, from which he re-
covered at times only to suffer re-
lapse. This continued throughout
the night and early morning. The
last time he became conscious was

TO the Country.

Princeton. N. J. Especially Gro
yer Cleveland, twice president of the
United States, died at $40 O'Clock
Wednesday morning at his home,
Westland, in the quiet college town,
where he had lived since his retire
ment as the nations chief executive,
almost 12 years ago. MIR. Cleveland
was II years old March is last. He
and Mrs. Cleveland celebrated the
twenty-second anniversary of their
wedding here on June 2. The affair
was very quiet because of Mr. Cleve-
lands Illness. A large wedding cake
containing 90 candles was sent to
them by some of their neighbors.
When death came. which was sud
den, there were in the death chamber,
on the second floor of the Cleve-
land residence, Mrs. Cleveland, other
members of the family, DR.. Joseph
ID. Bryant, of New York, MIR. Cleve-
lands family physician and personal
friend; DR.. George r. Lockwood also
of New York. and DR.. John NJ. Car
nochan, of Princeton.
An official statement given out and
signed by the three physicians says:
"Mr. Cleveland for many years
had suffered from repeated attacks
of gastro-intestinal origin Also he
had long-standing organic disease of
the heart and kidneys. Heart fail
ure, complicated with pulmonary
thrombosis and oedema, was the i'm

Berlin Expects Roosevelt.

Berlin (By Cable) Reports ema-

have crept into the newspapers TO
the effect that President Roosevelt
will come to Europe next year The
purposes OF Mr.. Roosevelt's coming,
according to these same reports, are
two: He is TO visit the Kaiser and
take trip through Germany.
Whether this trip will be taken In
His Imperial Maiestys company or

about two hours before he died.
Death was peaceful. Just before he
died Mr., Cleveland sought to say
something, but his words were in
audible.
Many OF the intimate friends of
the family and many others not SO
close were unable to see Mrs. Cleye-
land and all of them left cards. The
visitors, newspaper men, photograph
ers and others became so numerous
that the police authorities placed a
policeman on guard at the Cleveland
home, and no one but intimate
friends and those in charge of the
funeral arrangements were permitted
to approach the house.
The Cleveland residence stands in
a beautiful spot at Bayard lane and
Hodges Avenue, on the northwestern
outskirts of Princeton The house,
a comfortable looking two-and-a-half
story structure of colonial architec-
ture, is well back from the two thor
oughfares. 1t is painted white. and
almost hidden by stately pine trees.
Here is was Mr.. Clevelands wont to
roam and enjoy the life of retire
ment
Message From President.
II was not until late in the day
that messages of coincidence began
to come in from all parts of the world
to Mrs. Cleveland. One of the first
was from President Roosevelt, who
will attend the funeral, which will
be held on Friday afternoon and
which, in Difference to Mrs. Cleve-
lands wishes, will be as private as
possible. Mr.. Cleveland's body will
be buried in Princeton Cemetery In
the family plot, where lie the re.
mains of Ruth, the eldest of the
Cleveland children, whose deah was
a sad blow to the father.
