almost IL years ago. Mr.. Cleveland
was II years old March 18 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-

containing 20 candles was sent to
them by some of their neighbors.
When death came, which was sud-

on the second floor of the Cleve-

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

According to Mexican officials,
three agitators, who, it is claim
ed, are in the United States, ap-
pealed to the criminal element
on the border to raid certain
towns.
In this way it was hoped by
robbing banks and government
offices to raise funds for revolu-
ton.
Concerted attacks were planned
upon Ciudad Juarez, a border
town opposite Ell Paso, Texas, on
Ciudad Porto Diaz and Las
Vacas, both opposite Texas towns.
The Mexican consul at Ell Paso
informed the authorities and a
number of the raiders were jailed.
1t is declared that the Mexican
government places no political
significance in the raids.
The plans of the raiders are
said, by Mexican officials, to have
miscarried at all places with the
exception of Viesca and Las
Vacas.
Other reports tell of the cap
ture of the town of Jiminez and
other places.

about two hours before he died
Death was peaceful. Just before he
died Mr.. Cleveland sought to saw
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. Cleve-
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.. Cleveland's wont to
roam and enjoy the life of retire
ment.
Message From President.
1t 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.

While Mr.. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years
and had lost hundred pounds of
weight, his death came unexpectedly.
Some three weeks ago he was
brought home from Lakewood, where
his condition for 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 Mr.. 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's 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 DIR. 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
Inconsistencies, from which he re-
covered at times only to suffer a re-
lapse. This continued throughout
the night and early morning. The
last time he became conscious was

anide of potassium, which had been
placed in ale sent him for the pur-
pose and which he slipped shortly be
fore he was stricken, caused the
death Of Or. William H. Wilson. S19
North Seventh Street, Friday. it was
established Monday by the coroner's
ofiice and the police. The bottle had
been sent by express to the physi-
clans house, three days before he
opened it, by man and woman,
the police assert, who, actuated by
motives of revenge and hatred, delib-
erately plotted to destroy the doctor,
wife and their pretty five-year-old
daughter, Vera.
DR.. Wilson had been previously
sent fraudulent circular, purporting
to be signed by a well-known Phila-
delphia brewing firm, in which it was
stated that bottle of ale, valuable
for medicinal properties, had been
forwarded to him, as we'll as to other
members of his profession, in the
aope that they might prescribe it to
their patients.
The police and coroner's office
have ascertained that the brewing
company whose name was used by
the plotters does not brew ale, and
does not use the form of circular re-
ceiFed by the doctor. The name of
the brewing firm was printed on the
sheet and typewriter used to fill
lng the letter.
The police say that they have To-
Gated the boy who delivered the bot
tie at nr. Wilson's house and the ex-
press office which it was sent from.
They have also good description Of
the man and woman who left the bot
tie at the express office. ).

S. Labrada, leader of the Mexican
lunta at Austin has received tele-
grams that the revolutions had, in
addition to the assault upon Las Va

that Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, a small
town across the Rio Grande from
