Ex-President Succumbs Unexpectedly y,
Though He Had Long Been Ill.
Great Democrat, Twice President of the United
States, Dies at His Home in Princeton, Aged
Seventy-One Years---Sketch Of His Career,
from Poor Boy to the Highest Elective Office
in the WOrld---FamOus Venezuelan Message

tice of law He also maintained a
keen interest in politics. In 1866 he
was chairman of the county commit
tee. He had few intimate friends,
but was favored by a strong follow
ing of men attracted by his power Of
leadership. In 1870 he was elected
sheriff and filled the Office for three
years.
Then he returned to law. Success
was gained by hard, faithful work. He
had never been accused of being bril-
liant, but he was thorough, and gained
by conscientious digging the victory
that came to others by so-called gen.
ius.
In 1881 he was elected mayor of Buff
falo, as a Democrat, by a plurality
of $500. The candidates on the Repub-
lican state ticket carried the city by
1000. After the election Cleveland
said in a letter to his brother that he
proposed to stand in the relation of an
employe to the people of the city. His
one aim would be to render faithful
service to his employer.
In carrying out this resolution he
became known as the veto mayor"

Des MoineS, Ia, has been governed
under new system since early in
April. The government is not divided
into legislative and executive branch
es, as is common in most American
cities. The executive and legislative
officers are the same. There are a
mayor and four councilmen, each of
whom is the head of an executive de.
partment. That which the mayor
controls is called the department of
public affairs. The mayor and council.
men meet together as legislature
and pass ordinances. The will of any
three prevails. The mayor receives
$500 year, and each of the council.
men $4,000. 1t is maintained by the
supporters Of the law that the salaries
are large enough to attract capable
citizens to office. While considerable
legislative power is vested in the
elected officers, they are kept from dis.
regarding the popular will by a pro
vision which compels them either to
pass any ordinance submitted to them
by a petition signed by a certain pro-
portion of the voters, or to submit it
10 the general public at a special cleo
tion. A slightly different system of
city government has been in operation
in Texas in the cities of Galveston,
Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth,
where it is said public affairs are now
managed honestly, even if there has
been no gain in economy.

Princeton, N. J.-Grover Cleveland,
twice president of the United States.
died suddenly Wednesday at his home
here.
Mr.. Cleveland had been a sufferer
from gout and diabetes for more than
two years. Early in 1906 he was
stricken with an attack of indigestion,
the result of diabetes, and for weeks
was unable to partake of any except
liquid nourishment.
A sojourn in the south improved
his health considerably, and his sud
den demise comes as complete sur
prise.
A statement, signed by DR.. Joseph
B. Bryant DR.. George r. Lockwood
and DR.. J. NJ. Camochan, explaining the
death of their patient, was gwen out:
"Mr. Cleveland for many years has
suffered from repeated attacks of gas
tral intestinal origin. Also he has a
long-standing organic disease of the
heart and kidneys and heart failure
complicated with pulmonary throm-
bosis and oedema were the immediate
causes of his death"

lydia e. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
f1ted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any ywOmananydayma
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
tures that they were cured by Lydia,
K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pmkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable,
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

A hiah Philosophy.

Few women have the tall mans
chance to overlook the world; but the
girls who work in the top stories OF
the new Singer building in New York
ought TO become possessed of a fine
type OF philosophy, if the proVerbial
birds-eye view can give it. Forty
seven stories in the air-660 feet
above the street-familiar sights are
strange. First, one notices that every
body looks like everybody else. The
crowds Of eager human beings throng-
ing the streets of the city are reduced
to mere scrambling ants, whose pur-
pose in life is to live-neither more
nor less. Diamonds and velvets, rags
and dirt disappear from view. But
the passion to keep on crawling about
and climbing up and down is seen TO
rule all alike-a strange passion, capa-
BILE Of sweeping up wealth and sex and
genius in it's universal grasp. Six
hundred feet above the street one sees
the works of mans hands as at once
marvellous and absurd. Here huge
structures rise in the air, there vast
tunnels are being bored, and there
again hundreds of men are filling in
the shadows with earth to double the
size of Governors island. What toll
and skill go into these human efforts
TO stay on the particular spot of this
little planet where is room for them!
exclaims the Youths Companion.
North and west of the crowded streets,
fields and hills invite in vain. The
busy woman, snatching moment for
reflection at her lofty window, sees
also that men and their works and
ways make a deal of smother in the
world. The great volumes Of black
smoke marking the centers of activity
below her contrast strangely with the
white clouds sailing over her head. To
the sage's question, Why so hot, little
MANI she must add, Why so dirty?"
But her criticism is checked by the
thought that she, the critic, is herself
an atom in this vast surge Of human
life; and if some impatient force were
TO sweep away all its scramble and
smoke and change, she would herself
be snatched from her lofty and in
StruCtive point of view.

An American delegate to the inter.
national congress Of architecture
which met in Vienna made a speech in
which he told his hearers that as air
ships were a thing of the near future
it followed that people would gradual
ly come to beautifying the roofs of
their houses as we'll as the fronts, in
order that a good impression may be
made on aerial travellers. This devel-
opment is probably some distance in
the future. BEFORE its arrival the ne
cessity of protecting roofs from air
ships that may fall on them will be
likely to come

Of government, but he gave keen at
tention to the matters brought before
him for action. When these seemed
not to be for the public good his dis
approval was expressed promptly and
with the plainest words in his vocab-
ulary. From u to IA hours day were
devoted to the investigation of bills
and reports submitted to him for ac-
tion.
On July IL, 1884, in Chicago, he was
nominated to oppose James G. Blaine
in the campaign fo- the presidency.
A slender plurality in New York state
turned the scale and he became the
first Democratic president since the
civil war. The second time in his
life that he visited Washington was
when he went to the capital to take
office as president His bearing on
the stand erected for the inaugural re-
vealed his masterful character to the
experienced statesmen who sat around
him. Stretched before him were more
people than he had ever seen assem-
bled for any purpose. They were en-
thusiastic, but neither their demon
strations nor thought of the grave re-
sponsibilities he was about to assume
affected him in the slightest degree
He was calm as any man there hav'
ing nothing at stake. When the time
came to speak he advanced to the bar
firmly and coolly as lawyer in court
Deliberately and in strong voice he
delivered his address of 5000 words
and he shattered all precedents by Civ
ing it from memory instead of from
manuscript. He declared for the Mon
roe doctrine, economy, protection OF
the Indians, security of the freedmen
and for civil service.
Famous Venezuelan Message.
The death of Mr.. Cleveland will
recall to all the days when he
was the most forecful figure il
American public life. Nothing
which he ever did while pres

the famous message he sent to con
gress in December, 1895, on the sub
ject of Great Britain's controversy
with Venezuela over the boundary be
tween the latter country and British
Guiana. The foundation for Mr.. Cleve
lands message was the note of Secre
tary of State Olney to Lord Salisbury

MUST STAY DRY
II They Vote That Way, No Matter
How County Goes.

Columbus, O.-1n officially inter-
preting the scope and effect of the
Rose county local option bill Attorney
General Wade H. Ellis followed the
authoritative decisions of several su-
preme courts, to the effect that it op-
crates only in one direction, and that
toward prohibition. The question was
raised by Eugene Carlin, prosecuting
attorney of Wayne county, who de-
sired to know whether, town having
voted wet, subsequent county local
option election would overturn that
result. Mr.. Ellis, quoting from the
Rose law, showed that any municipal
ity which has voted dry remains IN
that condition, even though the county
should vote overwhelmingly wet.
