Funeral Preparations at Princeton For President Roosevelt Visit
Troops from New Jersey guard the funeral procession route at Princeton to secure the presence of President Roosevelt and Vice President Fairbanks. Pallbearers include Mayor George B. McClellan and several Princeton professors. Clergymen from New York and Princeton preside as Mrs Cleveland's request for a military display is granted only to protect the guests. Roosevelt will arrive by special train from Oyster Bay and depart after the ceremonies. Attendance is mostly limited to personal friends, though thousands gather to witness the Cleveland funeral and procession through town.

Cleveland Not Poor Left His Family Comfortably Situated
A New York report says former president Cleveland was not wealthy yet left enough to support his family. He earned income from real estate and stock speculation after leaving office. Friends offered help, including Lamont Flower Whitney and Benedict, who urged investments in income stocks and real estate. He declined public assistance, earning $10,000 yearly as an Equitable trustee and later $2,000 as chairman of a life insurance association.
