PRESIDENT AND GOVERNORS ATTEND AS PRIVATE CITIZENS Widow, Her Hand Clasped Tightly in Her Little Boy's, Stands Silently in Princeton Cemetery, Where There Are No Address of Praise, No Hymns, Xo Display, But a Brief Prayer. , Prinrpton. X .J. ? Attended by 1 scenes of solemnity, simple yet pro- , found, Grover Cleveland was laid at i rest at sundown in the unpretentious } cemetery in this quiet university } town. t While church bells throughout 1 New Jersey and Greater New York * were tolling a single bell in Prince- j ton soundM at intervals as the fun- r eral cortege passed through the gates { of Westland, the Cleveland home, at t 6.30 p. m. and moved toward the c cemetery where sleep other men of i universal fame. Salutes were fired a fii: over the land except in Princeton, i There was no sermon and no song "] at the house or at the grave. The j nhcenntHS tnnk nn little more than an I hour. Old friends said that Grover ? Cleveland was buried as he would \ Jiave wished?without eulogy and without song. It was the reauest of Mrs. Cleveland that the public's tribute be expressed by leaving her alone in her sorrow. This was done. Probably less than 200 persons were admitted to Westland. President Roosevelt, members of his Cabinet, Governors of States and other of the most distinguished men in the land, accompanied the body to the grave. Members of Grover Cleveland's two Cabinets made the occasion their first reunion. The desire for privacy was con- j served with scrupulous fidelity. None s except Mrs. Cleveland, her two chil- ( dren, Esther a,nd Kicnara, ana mree j or four blood kin were permitted to ] look upon the face of the dead. The g casket was sealed before it was car- \ ried into the reception room where s the services were held. Marion and ' Francis, the two children who re- r mamed/ at the Cleveland farm in New j Hampshire, will cherish as their last a picture of their father, a memory of his kindly countenance when he bade ( them good-bye a month ago. c Perhaps the most remarkable fea- c t.ure of the last services over Mr. j Cleveland was the remarkable forti- a tude and composure shown by Mrs. c Cleveland. Miss Esther, his fourteen- j year-old daughter, and little Richard j Cleveland, aged ten. Not a tear came d to any of them through the trying j, double service. X It is said the children learned their ( Toccon at their mother's knee when she told them that they must remem- f ber that their father would not have g them cry. . During the ceremony at r the grave she held "Dick" by the f hand, but he was a soldier to the last c moment. C Shortly after noon the military e force approved by Mrs. Cleveland ar- r rived and were assigned to stations, f There were four companies of the \ Second New Jersey Regiment, Na- j tional Guard, consisting of 300 men; sixty men of the Monmouth Mounted g Guard, Company I, of the Princeton g Guards, and twenty policemen p Mounted guards were stationed at t intervals of 100 yards from the rail- c road terminal to Westland, and along E the route traveled by the funeral cortege.

As the s widow advanced on the arm of Dr. ^ Joseph D. Bryant, Mr. Cleveland's v physician and friend, the company \ arose and remained standing through- p out the services.

Retail Trade of Entire j i Price of Corn M Accepted as n 25 to 35 Per Cent, in ilers to Raise Prices. that the meat of corn-fed cattle is not i sold for general consumption, for the reason that when the price of corn is high the owner can make a greater profit by selling it in the graii; market instead of feeding it to stock. There is not a retail butcher who is able to explain why he has had to pay more for his beef and mutton and pork and charge his customers more. All he knows is that the price j is increased. The meat is ready for his inspection and purchase, and he can take it or leave it. The nearest to an explanation of the increase has been the price of corn, and next to that the shortage in supply. Increase Instead of Shortage. The organ of the Meat Trust in New York does not bear out the shortage theory. In its last issue the receipts of live stock in Chicago were recorded as "336,180 head for the week, an increase of 60,573. Deliveries of cattle were 8911 in excess of the receipts of the previous week, and 11,372 head greater than the same week last year." As the demand for the choicest cuts of beef falls off the price of the cheaper parts is increased by the butcher so that he can come somewhere near getting even with the wholesaler. In the populous east side, where a half cent in the price of meat means much, the cut for which there is the greatest demand is the brisket, which is divested of its bone before it Is sold to the customer. One year ago the brisket was sold at from thirteen to fourteen cents a pound. This week the lowest price was twenty cents. Corned beef that sold for sixteen and fifteen cents a pound in June, 1907, now sells for twenty j cents. Soup meat has gone up to i twelve cents a pound on the east side and fourteen and fifteen cents a pound in Jefferson Market, an increase greater in proportion than for any other meat. Last January the price of soup meat was from ten to +Ti'?iira oonto q nnnnrl and a vear aero the highest price for the best quality was ten cents. HIGHEST IN YEARS. Occupation of Land Chiefly nslble. advanced practically two cents a pound. Last year's receipts of cattle at Fort Worth exceeded 1,000,000, the majority calves and heifers, which presages a shortage for probably two years to come. Yearlings and twoyear-olds sold this spring to feeders have been bringing from $3 to $5 a 1 loo* t.'oq r onH it i a ho. I If till LilU It' uiau laOL j tai , auu lb 1/v lieved they will go higher. The past two seasons have been unusually favorable, the open range season much longer than usual. The loss from storms last winter was insignificant and the calf crop this spring unusually large. This may Improve conditions within two years, but neither packers nor cattlemen anticipate much change in conditions before that time. CE MALE CHILDREN. Infants is Based on Law of | if Fittest. It is well known to scientists, asserts the author, that savage races and races which exist where the conditions of life are hardest produce a preponderanceof malechildren. From this fact he deduces that nature recnirnirps in the female the weaker ssx. Thus, he says, in times of plenty fe- j males are likely to predominate, j Some thinkers on the subject even go J so far as to assert that hard times ! | produce male children because the struggle for life is harder. i Market Price of Fingers Fixed at $300 Each, j Columbus.

St. Louis.?Julius Turner, a Civil War veteran and wealthy farmer of Clay City, 111., shot his wife to death from ambuch, seriously wounded his fifteen-year-old son, and attempted to commit sucide near Sailor Springs, 111. He is under arrest and refuses to partake of food, declaring he will starve himself to death. Turner and his wife had been separated four years. She was twenty years his junior, and he was jealous of her. The tragedy was caused by him mistaking his own son for an admirer of Mrs. Turner, whom he had been shadowing. Turner is sixty-nine years old and his wife was forty-nine. Mrs. Turner attended a church sociable iu the village church and had made arrangements to meet her son there. Turner took a position in a grove nearby where he could observe all that went on. From his ambush he had a dis tinct look at his wife as she left the church door, but the face of his son was obscured. He saw only vaguely the form of a man standing closc to his wife in earnest conversation. Drawing a revolver, he glided to within a few feet of the couple and opened fire on them. The first bullet struck Mrs. Turner in the back, and as she started to run away, another struck her in the head. Then the weapon was turned on her companion and two more shots rang out. One of the bullets struck the son in the groin, and he fell unconscious beside the bleeding figure of his mother The shots attracted the merry-makers in the church and the farmers hurried to the scene. Turner was standing over the bodies of his victims, smoking revolver in hand. As he stooped down to look at the face of the man whom he suspected ^to be his wife's admirer, he recognized his son, and with a cry of anguish straightened up and staggered back. Then, placing the muzzle of the revolver against his temple, he pulled the trigger and dropped across the body of his son. The farmers carried the three bod' ?

Memphis, Tenn.?Further returns received from the Democratic primary election in this State indicate the certain nomination of Governor M. R. Patterson for Governor over Edward W. Carmack, formerly United States Senator. Latest returns give Patterson 734 delegated votes and Carmack 584.
