Princeton, N. J., June, 24.—
Grover Cleveland, former presi
dent of the United States, died
suddenly at his home at Westland
hero at 8:40 o’clock this morning.
Death was due to heart failure,
complicated with other diseases.
The passing away of Mr Cleve
land was not immediately an
nounced, but was delayed until
an oHicial statement had been
prepared by the physicians who
had been attending him in the
various periods of bis illness.
The following statement signed
by Drs. Joseph D. Bryant, George
II. Lockwood and J. M. Carnochan
was given out:]
“Mr. Cleveland for many years
had fluttered from repeated attacks
of gastro-intestinal origin. Also
he had long-standing organic dis
ease of the heart and kidneys.
Heart failure, complicated with
pulmonary thrombosis and
oedema, were the immediate
causes of his death.”
While Mr. Cleveland had been
seriously ill from time to time,
the announcement of his death
came like a thunderbolt to those
who had been watching his illness.
Last night there was a slight
flurry among the friends of the
Clevelands that something was
seriously wrong with tho ex-presi
dent. This was occasioned by a
visit of Dr. Bryant of New York,
Mr. Cleveland’s physician for
many years. Mrs. Cleveland later
in the evening discussing Dr.
Bryant’s visit, said that there was
no occasion for alarm and that
Mr. Cleveland was getting along
nicely.

formed the ceremony, came first, fol
lowed by the bride and 'groom. The

sided over tlie meeting, and alter the
business part an afternoon with Jeffer
son Davis was enjoyed. Tlie program
was as follows:
A Sketch of the TAfe of Jefferson
Davis—Mrs. S. G. Lang.
“There is tv way to beat the
storage commission merchant and
the old hen herself; to have fresh
eggs all tho time, in fact, said
Marshall Raymond, a lawyer of
Paducah, Ky.
“This method may be as old as
the Chinese—at least, I learned it
in China, when I made a trip
through tho east more tlrtin a year
ago. I happened to run into the
American consul-general at Shang
hai while over there, and when I
left he presented me with what
he said were eggs.
Although they didn’t look like
eggs at all—looked, indeed, more
like elongated mud pies with a
stone stuffed in them—I faithfully
brought them home, and at last
opened one. .
Sure enough, there was an egg
inside, and when it was broken it
proved to Lie entirely fresh, ul
though it may have been in that
mud for a year or more. Well,
with that knowledge of how the
Chinamen keep eggs fresh, I salt
ed a whole barrel of them to see
how they would do under Amori
can mud.
“I bought them at the time of
year .when they were cheap, not
caring much whether they kept or
not, but willing to try the experi
inent. I buried them under more
than a foot and a halt of earth
and left them for several months.
The Macon district conference
convened with the Metkodist
church here Tuesday afternoon
at 8:80 o’clock and continued
