ss1TNHE most distinguished private
citizen in the world" said a
celebrated Republican ex-sena-
tor, introducing Grover Cleve-
land at the dedication ceremonies of
the st. Louis worlds fair in 1908.
Nobody disputed the characterize
ton. Mr.. Cleveland had spent two full
terms in the White House. divided by
an interim of private citizenship. and
he had survived his retirement for
years. He was not like an ordinary
ex-president, who retires from one
term or from two terms served con-
secutively. This man had suffered de-
feat after victory and had won VIC
tory after defeat. That record is
unique in our history. It added to that
high distinction which inheres in any
man who has held the greatest cleo
tive Office in the gift of the worlds
nations. 1t made him indisputably the
most distinguished private citizen in
the world.
But the ex-senator mentioned had
still further justification. Ever since
the ex-president retired to the classic
shades Of Princeton his distinction has
widened as a man. as a parsonage,
one might say as character in the
best sense of that term when 1t needs
quotation marks to qualify its mean
ing.
Affectionateiy Known as Grover.
Early inlife Mr.. Cleveland discarded
his first name, Stephen. Therefore he

GROVER CLEVELAND.

ris. Colonel Watterson happened to
be at the White House. The president
requested him to escort Mrs. CleYe-
land, which the. gallant Kentuckian
was happy to do. Between the acts
Mrs. Cleveland suddenly announced
that she desired very much to have a
chat with the noted actress The colo
mel arranged for her to visit Miss Nor
ris In the latter's dressing room. De-
lighted with her experience, Mrs. Cleye-
land enthusiastically told her husband
about It as soon as the colonel took
her home.
The president turned to Colonel Wat
terson and somewhat angrily reproach-
ed him for permitting the first lady Of
the land to visit an actress in her dress
ing room instead Of having the actress
call at the box. He had trusted to
the colonels age and discretion, he
said, to protect Mrs. Cleveland from
yielding to a schoolgirl fancy SO un-
dignifed.
Grover Cleveland was. the first DEM
ocratic mayor Of Buffalo and the first
Democratic governor Of New York
since the civil war. Then he became
the first and only Democrat elected
to the presidency since James Buch-
anan, who defeated john C. Fremont,
the first Republican candidate, In 1856.
These facts enhance his distinction.
Helped Fanny Crosby With Her Hymns.
From his boyhood Mr.. Cleveland
manifested those traits OF iron courage
which may be termed self confidence,
SO characteristic Of his official career.
Young Growers first job away from
home was clerkship in a school for
the blind. Fanny Crosby, the noted
hymn writer. herself blind, was a
teacher there. Young Cleveland used
Ito assist her by taking down her
poems in handwriting The principal
lof the school upbraided Miss Crosby
| for utilizing Grover In that way. Gro
lyer heard Of it. A
I Look here he said to the blind
lsinger, "you have perfect right to
