CLEVELAND
 IS DEAD.
  Ex.President Passed Away al $40 Wednes sday Morning.

Princeton, N. J., June D. Grover Cleveland, twice president of the United States, died at $40 o'clock this morning at his home "Westland,n ' in this qulet college town where he had lived since his retirement as the National chief executive, almost twelve years ago.
 When death came, which was sudden. there were in the death chamber on the second floor ot the Cleveland residence, Mrs. Cleveland, Dr. Joseph D. Bryant of New York, Mir. Cleveland's 's family physician and personal friend, Dr. George K. Lockwood also of New York and Dr. John II. Garnoehan of Princeton.
 The official statement given out and signed by these three physicians, gave heart trouble, superindueed by stomach and kidney ailments of long standing as the cause.
 While Cleveland had been in poor health for the last two years and had lost hundred pounds in weight, death came unexpected ly. Some three weeks ago lie was brought home from Lake wood, where his condition for a time was such that the hotel at which he was staying was kept open after its regular season be- cause he was too i'll to be moved. i But when Cleveland was brought back to Princeton he showed 1 signs ot improvement and actual l ly gained in weight. Although confined 10 h IS room continuously
 = after his return to Princeton. 1t was not until yesterday that Cleyeland's condition aroused un- easlness on the part of Mrs. Cleveland.
 During the evening Cleveland seemed to rally and Mrs. Cleve- land, who has always been opti- mistie about her husbands $ ] health, felt assured that It was merely another of the many at- tacks Cleveland had suffered and she informed those who inquired that Gleveland's condition was not serious.
 Cleveland became worse during l the night and Mrs. Cleveland Was called to the bedside of her ] husband. The distinguished patient sank into inconsistencies from which he recovered at times, only to suffer a relapse. This continued throughout the night and early morning. The last time he became conscious was about two hours before he died. Death was peaceful. Just be fore he died Cleveland sought to say something. but his words were inaudible.
 So unexpectedly did Clevela nd $ death oeeur that not one of his four children were at home. The Cleveland children are at their summer home at Tamworth. N. H., under the care of Mrs. Per rin, Mrs. Clevela nd's mother. Word was sent to them of their fathers death and they will start for Princeton. They are Esther age l4, Marion age 12, Richard 10 and Francis Grover age 5.
 The news of Cleveland's death came as a sudden shock to the, people of Princeton, as it did to the people of the rest of the world. Everybody in Princeton knew that he was sick and were interested in him, but none

seemed to think that the end was so near.
 As the news spread the Unl- versity flag was displayed at half mast and everybody was dis posed to stop and talk and ex- press regrets and extol Cleve- lands virtues.
 It was not until late in the day that messages of condolence be- gan to come in from all parts of the world to Mrs. Cleveland. One of the first was from Presi- dent Roosevelt, who will attend the funeral, which will be held Friday afternoon and which in deferenee to Mrs. Cleveland $ wishes will be as private as DOS slb1e. Cleveland will be buried Tn the Princeton cemetery in the family plot where lies the re- mains of Ruth, the eldest child.

For President William II. Taft, of Ohio.
 For Vice President-James $. Sherman, of New York.
 These are the candidates nom- mated by the Republican Nation al Convention in Chicago last week.
 The nomination of Taft was made Thursday afternoon, and as was anticipated, he won on first ballot, receiving 7o2 votes out of q total of eso. Others tor whom votes were =east=were the follow ing: ! B. Foraker, of Ohio. It votes; Chas. ". Fairbanks, of Indiana, 4o; Joseph C. Cannon, of Illinois, 61; LaFollotte, of Wisconsin, =; Gov. Hughes of New York, hS; Philander Knox, Of Pennsylvania, =hs. After the result of the ballot had been an- nounced, the nomination of Taft was made unanimous.
 The selection of candidate for vice president Was a more diff ticult task than nominating a candidate for president, as the latter job had all been cooked and primed before the convention met, and all that was necessary was to light the fuse and then stand back and watch the big thing come off. The Roosevelt Taft element wanted western man for vice president, and efforts were made to get Deliver, or Cummins of Iowa, Long of Kan sas, and finally Fairbanks of In- diana, to accept the place, but none of them would consent. After caucusiug all night Thurs day no agreement could be reached, and no one could be found who proved satisfactory to all clements. The convention took the matter iu it's own hands Friday morning, and Congress- man Sherman was nominated on first ballot, receiving S1b votes. The speech seeouding the nom- nation of Sherman was made by Speaker Cannon, of the House of Representatives. and 1t is said this speech had much to do with the large vote cast for Sherman.
 The convention adjourned Fri day morning shortly before noon.
 James Sehooleraft Sherman, the Republican nominee for the vice presidency, was born at Utica, N. Y., October 24, 1855. Following his graduation from the law department of Hamilton College Ill 1878 he was admitted to the bar Tn 1880, and in 1893 his school conferred upon him the degree of IL. D.
 Congressman Sherman is still resident of Utica, the town in which he was born, and was mayor of Utica for one term, be- ing elected in 1884.
 He began his congressional career Tn 1887, representing the Twenty-third New York district, composed of Herkimer and Oneida counties, from that date until 1891. In 1893 he was reelected and has been serving in the same capacity ever since.
 In 1892 he was a delegate to the Republican national conven- tion, and in 1895 and 1900 was chairman of the New York State Republican convention.
 Aside from the practice of law he is, in a business way, connect ed with the Utica Trust and De- posit Company, being its presi- dent, and IS also president of the New Hartford Canning Company.

There is an old legend that
runs in this wise: at Great
ions dawn an angel came
down to earth, and before re-
turning looked about for
something to carry back to
heaven. There we're three
things that attracted the AT
tracted the attention OF the
white-winged messenger
a bouquet of sweet flowers
that had been gathered from
one of earth's fair and bloom
ing gardens, the smile OF a
little baby that had been play
ing with a sunbeam, and Il
mothers love. These three
the angel carried away, but
when it reached the pearly
gates of paradise the flowers
had withered-the baby's
smile had vanished. Only
the mothers loye remained
the same, and being found as
pure aud eternal as the
waters that flowed by Gods
throne, all the angels that
ranged above exclaimed In
unison: "There is nothing
on earth pure enough for
heaven but a mothers lOve!'
This was a tribute containing
a sublime thought. And
through all the ages it has
been human experience that
the angels referred to in that
legend we're not extravagant
in the message which they
passed out through the open
windows of the many man
sions" along the banks of the
"River of Gold. "

mark, II am poor, but you
manage as mother does and
we'll get along nicely. The
young lady investigated how
''mother managed" She
was a wife, a mother. a house
keeper, Il business manager,
a hired girl, a laundress, a
seamstress, a member and
patcher, a dairy maid, a cook,
a nurse, a kitchen gardner,
and a general slave for a
family of five. ''She works

and corded and unkissed.
When I saw her polishing the
stove, carrying big buckets
of water and great armfuls of
wood, often splitting the lat

it is needless to say the ring
was returned" If the wife
must drudge let the husband
share it. If she must cook
let him carry the fuel, if she
must scrub let him carry the
water, if she must churn let
him milk the COWS. The girl
