CLEVELAND
DIED WEDNESDAY
of United States
Passes Away at His Prince¬
ton Home.
Grover Cleveland, twice pres;
dent of the United States, died at
bis home, “Westland,” at Princi
ton, where he had lived sines his I
ratiremsnt as tbo nation’s chief
executive, almost twelve years ago
The death of the former preei
dent ends one of the most stubborn
fights for life ever chronicled. For
years Mr. Cleveland has suffered
and in that time there have been
many reports of his death.
Grover Cleveland was a fine
American type, rising from obscu¬
rity to the highest office in the gift
of his people through sheer force
of character—a character so rugged
so lopal, and so sinoere as ,o excite
not only the respect and affection
of those who were privileged to be
his friends, but of those who vtr;
opposed to him for political
other reasons.

COVINGTON TEAM
DEFEATS MADISON.
Franklin, Norman and Lee Are
Star Players In the First
Real Match Game.
i be Covington base ball team,
by a few admirers of.
the game, went down to Madison
Tuesday and in a p etty aril very/
interesting game defeated the tea. 1
of that City by the score of 7 to (
in an eleven inning game.
Irb Norman did the twirling f«r
the locals and Carter Franklin d.d
the receiving. These two gentle
n ien form a battery that can and
do generally always deliver toe
goods,-and it was quite amusing vo
sen the Madison boys attempt to
connect with Norman’s slow ur.
derlnvnd ball. T he two teams wen
evenly matched and put up a good
game, which was witnessed by u
large crowd of Madison fans.
The heavy hitting of Franklin
and Lee were the features of this
game, while Irb Norman was him
self again on the firing line, hold
ing the Madison boys down, to four
hits. The runs ruarde by the
ison team were on errors and wild
throwing of the Covington team.
With the exception of letting
the little negro boys run out
the diamond on several occasions,
the locals are high in their
of the treatment of the Madison
people.
Covington could have some good
ball gauies here this season if the
people would only leud a little
encouragement to the boys by their
presence in large numoevs when
games a^e played on the local
grounds. Let’s get together and
try this and see if we can’t have
some more of that same good ball
playing that use to be turned out
I by the bom* boys.
