a name sprang to the lips OF the
speakers.
1t was that of his wife, Frances Fol-
som Cleveland, who, though twenty
seven years younger than the ex-Presi-
dent, was ever the comrade, the chum,
the helpmate, interesting herself in all
b a appealed to her husband thinking
always of him first, and making herself
just such a wife as a great public man
needs. No lady of the White House
was ever more loved than she: she who
was the personification of tact, and
courtesy, and gentleness, even to those
whom she knew were her husbands
enemies, who often lost their rancor
through just her charm.
Her Brave Losing Fight.
When a little girl Frances Folsom
learned to know and love the man who.
years later, came to be her husband.
Always at his side and always looking
up, is it to be wondered at that when
the last fight came she did not fall?
How could she fail, when the winning
meant so much to her; when the losing
meant the loss of everything she val
ued, the hand that had led her all
through life, the heart which had kept
her the brave. r woman she is? No
wonder she was faithful and watched
and waited and tried not to lose heart,
even when the little voice whispered,
tits of no avail"
And now, her duty's done, and her
hearts empty. Not even the love of
her children can suffice just now.
There Is nothing to do hut wait; wait
for day to grow into night, and night
to follow day, until Time comes with
his soothing hand and brings forget
fulness. !
The world has lost a great, great man,
but Mrs. Cleveland's loss is greater.
The sympathy of monarchs, of Presi-
dents, Of those in power, of the poor,
the great, of everybody, cannot touch
the torn place from which her hearts
greatest treasure was torn out.

EX-PRES|DENT'S
SUDDEN DEATH
SHOCKS NEWARK
Mayor Haussling Orders Flags
at Half-Mast and Will
Act Further.
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
IN EVENING STAR EXTRA
Cleveland Well Remembered
Here, Having Been Paid
Great Tribute in '84.

Grover Cleveland was a very popu-
many close personal friends. and the
announcement of his death today
caused a profound sensation. The
extra edition of THE EVENING
STAR. on the street less than a half
hour after the death of Mr.. Cleve-
land was announced from his Prince
ton home. conveyed the first informa-
ton Newark had of the event.
Mayor Haussling Immediately or
dered all the flags In the city at half
mast and said he would take steps to
see that Newark properly observed the
funeral.
Many prominent men, among them
Governor Fort, DR.. frazer and former
United States Senator James Smith,
jr., expressed eulogies of the dead
statesman.
During the presidential compaign of
1884, when Grover Cleveland was the
Democratic candidate for President. he
came to Newark by invitation of Sena-
tor Smith. Campaign clubs came from
Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn, Con-
necticut and New Jersey cities and
towns n took part in the
greatest parade of any kind ever seen
in Newark, n Mr.. Cleveland reviewed
the parade from the City Hall, where
he shook hands with hundreds of men
and women swhom Mr.. Smith intro
duced.
So many clubs came here h a more
than 10, 900 men could not get in the
parade, though the men marched ten
and sixteen files front, and some clubs
twenty. When the head of the process
sion arrived at Lincoln Park scores of
were waiting up near the Erie
Railroad station, in the Eighth Ward,
to get in line. When Mr.. Cleveland
started from the City Hall Broad street
was so crowded with people that it took
fifty policemen twenty minutes to open
a way through the great mass to let
his coach cross the street.
March 4, 1898, when Mr.. Cleveland
took the oath for the second time as
President at Washington, D. c., Mr..
Smith was sworn in as United States
Senator from New Jersey, and he was
often consulted by President Cleveland
on the most important actions he took
during this administration. He sum-
moned Mr.. Smith to Washington to
read the Venezuela proclamation before
he made it public. and he relied on Mr..
Smiths judgment in other matters.

Mr.. Cleveland's intimate friends saw
a great change come over him at the
time of the pathetic death Of his eldest
daughter Ruth, who was born in the
White House during his first admins

blow to the former President and he
never fully recovered from 1t.
Mr.. Cleveland was married to Miss
Frances Folsom, of Buffalo, turing his
first administration in the White
House. She was the daughter Of his
former law partner in Buffalo. and at
her fathers death M. C1evaIand was
made her guardian. She was a young
girl when Mr.. Cleveland made her his

SIMPLE AS A CHILD,
RESOLUTE AS A GIANT.

NEW YORK. June 24.-Paul Morton
said: Grover Cleveland was a most
remarkable man-deliberate in thought,
sound in conclusions and always care
full in action. He was as simple as a
child In his tastes and as resolute as
a giant In his integrity.
HE was the highest type of public
servant, and it is to be regretted we
have so few men of his sturdy char
acter in public life.
Tie was a patriot rather than a par
tisan, and his moral courage to do VIVA
he thought was best for the country,
regardless of his party, was the begin
ming of the independent thought
throughout the United States which is
now such a factor in u national af-
fairs"

But today she lies alone, broker and
disheartened After the long, long
strain of watching and fighting and
waiting, there is nothing to do but rest.
And what is worse than idleness for a
breaking heart? No more pillows to
turn, no aching head to comfort, no
| restless hands to quiet, and, above all,
no great, wonderful, tired mind to
soothe.
The man she loved and fought for is
gone. And in silent state, in the great
parlor of her home, lies the body of a
great ex-President of the United
States, before which the entire world
will bow the knee in reverence. People
will hin of the statesman, the man
In public life, the President, the power;
but the wife will think only of the hus-
band and father of her children; he
guardian of her girlhood and the hus-
band of her womanhood. And a big,
tender feminine heart is like to break.
What does she care that a great ex-
President of the United States is dead?
She has lost the best friend, and the
truest, she ever had.
Her Proud Record.
But In the future, when the first sharp
edge of her grief has been dulled, Mrs.
Cleveland will be able to look back
upon a record of which any m
should be proud, and for which the
whole country does her honor. She
has been a living example of what a
wife and mother should be, in the high
est Interpretation of the words, and her
grief cannot be marred by the slightest
canker Of regret.
And now she can rest, when rest is
a pain. After all these months when
she had not a moment to herself, so
busy was she, there ONE with her
grief a pause, in which she has moth
Ing to do but think, and remember.
And that is the greatest horror of all

realize what will be no more.

work, with enough money in

his family, and at the same
time have something left to Law

age and sickness. Look around
