GROVER CLEVELAND DIED LAST WEEK. Ex-President of United States Dies at Age of Seventy-One?Burial Last Friday. CJrover Cleveland, twice president of the United States, died at 8:40 o'clock last Wednesday morning at his home, "Westland," in this place where he had lived since his retirement as the nation's chief executive, almost twelve years ago. When death came, which was suddenly, there were in the death chamber Mrs. Cleveland, Dr. Joseph I). Bryant, Dr. George R. Lockwood and Dr. John M. Carnochan. OFFICIAL STATRMENT. An official statement was given out and signed by the three physicians, gaving heart trouble, superinduced by stomach and kidney ailments of long Standing, as the cause of his death. The statement says: "Mr. Cleveland for many years had suffered from long standing organic disease of the heart and kidneys. Heart failure, complica ted with pulmonary thrombosis and oedema, was the immediate cause of his death." While Mr. Cleveland had been in poor health for the past two years and had lost a hundred pounds in weight, his death came unexpectedly. Not one of his four children were at home, being at the Cleveland summer home, at Tamworth, N. H., under the care of Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's mother. Although confined to his room continu ously after his return from Lakewood, it was not until yesterday that Mr. Cleveland's condition aroused uneasi ness on the part of Mrs. Cleveland. Undoubtedly affected by the heat, Mr. Cleveland showed signs of failure. He became worse during tho night and Mrs. Cleveland was called to the bed side of her husband. The distinguish ed patient sank into unconsciousness from which he recovered at times only to sutrhr a relapse. This continued throughout the night and early morn ing. The last time he became uncon scious was about two hours before he died. Death was peaceful. Just be fore he died Mr Cleveland sought to say something, but his words were in audible. The remains of the distinguished statesman were laid to rest at Prince ton, N. J., on Friday afternoon.

All the Voters In the Stute Must Be Reg istered Anew During the Present Year. Attorney General Lyon lias given the official opinion to the effect that all registration in the several counties as instructions for their guidance, but of course the opinion of neither the attor ney general nor the governor settles the matter and there are others who hold that under the act of 1!)08 re-reg istration ;s not necessary and that all that is contemplated in the act of 1908 is the-enrollment of the electors, in order to discard from the registration lists the names of those who have died or moved out of the State or become disqualified. Unfortunately the constitution and the statutes of tho Stale do not distin guish very clearly between registra tions and enrollment and the two terms are used in the constitution and acts in such an interchangeable way at times as to make it confusing, but there is a fundamental difference between the meaning of the two terms and common sense would seem to indicate that it is useless for an elector who is registered and who is still qualified to vote under the constitution to be put to the trouble of simply changing his obi registration certificate. The constitution provides for a re-enrollment of the electors every ten years from 1908 and this be ing the tenth year, an act was passed at the 1908 session to comply with this constitutional provision but in this act the two terms, enrollment and regis tration, were again not used discrimi natingly, and hence the doubt which now exists. However, the attorney general is a strict constructionist and he holds that all electors must register again this year. If any one cares enough about it he can take the matter to the courts and have it finally settled by an authoritative interpretation of the law.
