condition become more serious. An en-
gine and special car are waiting on a
siding at Farmingdale, ready at any
moment of the day or night to take
them to Mr.. Cleveland's bedside
An automobile is ready at Princeton
to take the children. and at the Lake
wood Hotel here another machine is
always ready to rush to the station on
their arrival
Surrounded by his wife, personal
physician and corps of attendants,
the hotel closely guarded to keep away
strangers. and strict censorship exer-
cised over all who enter the hotel. the
only living ex-President is entering on
his seventh week of illness at Lake.
wood.
Despite the statement of Mrs. Cleve-
land that her husband is getting along
nicely, the constant attendance of
physicians and the special train wait
ing to rush his little ones to his side
are taken as indications that the
rumors that Mr.. Cleveland has been
getting weaker for the last few days
have some foundation
Through Wall Street the rumor be-
came public several days ago that Mr..
Cleveland was dying OF cancer of the
stomach, and when DR.. Joseph Bryant
was questioned on this point he refused
to either affirm or deny the runor. Ex-
treme caution is carried to such an eX-
tent that medicine is brought from
New York. to prevent the nature of the
disease from which Mr. Cleveland is
suffering becoming known.
Several chambermaids and two bell
boys. who were suspected of having
talked freely about the ex-President's
condition when out of the hotel. were
discharged. Personal friends and bust
ness associates have been unable to see
Mr.. Cleveland, and have received merely
the assurance that his condition is not
serious.
Up to Friday only one nurse was in
attendance. Now he has two day and
two night nurses.
III addition to Dr. Bryant, DR.. Lock-
wood also of New York, and Dr. Irving
Hance, of Lakewood. are in attendance.
Up to several days ago it was possible
to get DR.. Bryant or Mrs. Cleveland by
telephone, but now Manager Barry
answers all calls. and refuses TO carry
any message to the Cleveland suite.
