At 8:40 Wednesday morning at his home in a suburb of Prince ton, N J. Grover Cleveland, the last of, the ex-presidents, died. He had been a sufferer for quite a long time but the day prior to his death his condition seemed better, than for sometime. Heart failure complicated with a number of other diseases was the immediate cause of his death. It was the passing of a great man in whese death the nation is a heavy Jo;tr. T.:cuh retired from public life his serene per. sonality embodying the dignity ane grace of a great- nation and a great race was an inspiration to the American people. He h.s been a great public servant. His life, in all of its vicissitude was a life of simple de votion, following always the line of wJiat. he thought was. riht. : As -chief Magistrate, Mr. Cleveland, though criticised widely, was devoted to the pro motion of sober statemansiiip. Since the tide of criticism redd ed it has been very generally agreed that Cleveland was much maligned. Since 18D7 he has resided at Princeton, K.J. He has been active in Princeton life and much beloved and revered by those who knew him best in these closing vears of his life. He lived a good old age. At length, looking back over a life of successful devotion Jto the nr tion and to mankind, he lay down arms in his seventy first year. The funeral will be very quiet as becomes the best tribute to so peaceful an old age. Prominent men from all parts of the coun try will be preseut but the funer al w ill be as simple as possible.
