Cleveland's first administration was
marked by general prosperity; by the

a freer use of the veto power than
had generally been exercised by other
presidents. On the meeting of CON

his annual message mainly to the adj

Death Is Unexpected.
While Mr.. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years and
his death came unexpectedly.
The news of Mr.. Cleveland's death
came as a sudden shock to the peo-

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 Mr.. Roosevelt.
SO suddenly did Mr.. Cleveland's
death occur that not n of his four
children were at home. The children

pour into the telegraph office here fal
