CLEVELAND FUND
OvERSUBSCR'BED
NEARLY $4,000
Handsome Memorial to Former
President Now Assured by Ma
TONS Magnificent Response.
GOLDEN TIDE is STILL
STRONGLY FLOWING IN
$4,000 Is Now Goal Set by
Committee in Charge of
Subscriptions.

With contributions TO the Cleveland
nonumen fund still rolling in as a
steady golden stream. s6S4.63 having
been received today. it has now swol-
len close to s1O5. 600. This is So 900 more
thai the amount which the associa-
ton, organized after the STAR had
suggested the idea of a memorial to
The popular former President, had set
as its limit.
II is likely that By the time the
golden stream has been stopped s11O,-
900 will have been subscribed by the
patriotic citizens who hold Cleyeiand's
memory dear. That such an amount
can be readily used is thought by those
who pushed the great enterprise to
such success within a period Of less
than two years. The amount over
100000, whatever it may be, will be
welcome enough. as the monument, like
other large undertakings, viii cost
more than the original estimates show.
So the $4,000 goal Is non toe high.
Students Contribute.

A letter was received by Mr.. Dryden

Association of Life Underwriters. In

Gently sent out notices 10 life under
writer's associations in different parts
Of the country, calling attention to the
movement on behalf of Cleveland's
memory. He suggested that lin view
of Mr.. Cleveland's efforts in behalf of
sound life insurance a popular subscrip-
ton be raised among life insurance
men, Mr.. Powell requested that re-
turns be made before Wednesday Of
this week. Independent OF any amount
that may be received from this source,

more are expected from the Princeton

tislguished husband" and added that
the fund had been oversubscribed by
thousand dollars.

suit Of the campaign to the members
