A BUSY CAREER Has Been That of S. Grover Cleveland, Democracy's Great Candidate for President, ' And His Honors Have B«ea Well Earned. Gmver Cleveland was b rn in Cald well, N J„ March 18 1537 and is therefore in his fifty sixth rar. tie was the fifth pf the nine children of the Rev. Richard !■'. Cleveland, a clergyman of the Presby tepian church and a graduate ot Yale co! lege, says the Chicago Times. Mr. Cleveland’s mother was Annie Neal, the daughter of an Irish meichant in Baltimore. On the paternal side, Mr. Cleveland is Engl’sh. H’s first ancestor in this country was Nftites Cleveland, who came from Ipswich, England, in 1635, and settled in Woburn, Mass. His great grandfather w< s Dr. Aaron Cleveland, a graduate ot Harvard ami an Episcopal minister in Philadelphi 1, whore he was a close iriend of Benjamin Franklin, in whose he died in 1757., The widow of Dr. C'ev land opened a sn all store in Salem, Mass., alter his death, :■ -with ti e incom t thus derived she etippo 'cd and educated her large fam ily of sons. This circumstance is mentioned as being tj pical of the . k'veland family. They have never been rich, but they have never be nd- pen lent. Any wpr'hy , mployment, however humble, tivy have he t n willing to adopt. Thev are found in altertua'e generations p cachi r<, mechanics, lawyers, trad.smen—always blessed with more children than doiliits,ba*never losing their hold on education and social _ position. HAD A TALENT TOR WKtTIXG »t-n SPEAKING One ol Dr. Clevel ird’.. s< ns, also named Aaron, was apperntic.d to a hatter. At the age of’3o he owned a business in Norwich, Conn. But even while working among the Hecks he culttvaied a talent for writing and speanic.g, ai.-d became so popular that he was elected 'o the legislature. He made hunseii pels pt the most prominent members duiing t' >* session byintroducing a bill for the abolition ot slavery in Connecticut. He afterward became a congressional minister and died in 1815. He said that he wished no encomium pronounced upon him save that he had been a good American citizen. He left thirteen children, the youngest of whom was the mother of Arthur CJeve tand Cose, who is now bishop of western New York. The second of tire thirteen, William Cleveland, was Grover Cleveland’s grandfather. He was a silversmith at Wo-th iogton, Mass. His greatest reputation wu that of being on honest and thorough workman and this is verified by the fact that watches of his make are rtk in use and still serviceable. Hjs, sgpj£jßichard Cleveland, graduated from college in 1524. and, having spent ai, '•!< money, obtained a situation as tutor in iiaitimoie, and it was there that he met the charming AijniNeal. It was five y-«rs beforsc he was able to save money, enough tr marry, but in 1.829 lie was offered the pastorate of a small Congretional church at Windham, Conn , and there Miss Neal became his wife. BORN iN NEW JeRSFA'. From Windham they went to Portsmouth, Va., and from there to Caldwell, N. J., where Stephen Grover was born He was named lor the pastor who bad pre ceded his lather in the church. In 1841 the family removed to Fayetteville, N. Y., and here Grover grew to his fourteenth year among the sturdy country boys. When he was 8 years old he entered the district school. From there he went to the academy'. But he remained only a short time, when it became necessary for him to take a clerkship in the village store at a salary of SSO a yeari " This was to be doubled the second year if the young,clerk pi >ved worthy and honest. But before tb p time, Richard Cleveland bad beeppig., agent of the American Home Missionary society, and his income was increased to * sl,ooo.>_Thl%JHULM.ftre than he had ever " had liefore. Grover was able to leave th/ store and return to the academy to finish hi - prepa*> t o i for college, Innddition to his regular ichool training he was instructed iu Latin by Dr. Hyde, a retired clergyman. In 1833 his

I father was Cal'cd to the ■ ■ ch at Holland Patent, about JJ* • * iiS'os from Uti a. He had been th. ..idly a month when he died suddenly the age of 49. This event made a complete change in the s Ituatfon and prospects of aly. The father’s income had bare! '• ufficed for the support and education his qjilldren. It became apparent thnj. rttf'i of tficzn as were old enough would l>AVe to ®ireof themselves and to take care of the others. Grover a» this fiaiie was 18 years old, and although the ginning of a college education had been the dearest wish ofliis life, he cheerfully gave It up -and wont to J work. began life - Grover Cleveland’s eh.S- - * Tmer, Wil , liam, was at this time ~t wiener in the institution for the blindt* 1 i- city of New .

in office, being raised to the governorship before the expiration oi his term a- mayor be saved the citv mon- than $1,000,000 by preventing the conmmation of cor--1 ipt schemes and the bargains by the city council. He di | lay 1.1 indomitable pluck •nd g r it, a thorough knowledge of the law, a dear perception of the needs and lights of tht? city and of the best way to secure them, and a sincere determination to place the public interests above the claims of party. He showed how eitsily - a .man who is thoroughly honest and thoroughly earnest can gain viclory over corrupt abominations. On assuming office in January, 1882. the new mayor called the attention of the city council to the dangerous condition of the Hamburg canal and suggested the urgent ncccs-ity' of building an intercep’ing sewer. He recommended that the work be done under the direction of a committee of citizens, but this proposal did not suit the common council, who were not willing to lose so good an opportunity for stealing the public money. They advisertised for proposals, and the lowest bid they re ceived was $1,568,000. Mayor Cleveland persisted in his plan, had a bill carried through the legislature, and nominated five commissioners to the common council, who at once rejected them at the next meeting of the board he sent in the identical five names again, and this time thei ( were confirmed by a vote of 17 to 8. This commission put the work into the hands of Col Waring under whose super vision it was done at a cost of $764,000, thus saving sßoo,coo, which the city fathers under almost any other mayor would have divided among themselves. AS PRESIDENT. i When Mr. Cleveland went to Washing ton alter his eleclion to the presidency in 1884, he became an object of great interest ■to the people of that city—more of an ob,j.ct of interest than any other president for years. He was comparatively unknown to the politicians and officials there, ■ and his title of ‘ a man of destiny” had I preceded him. Man of destiny he may : have been, but he was cerlain.y a man of I sound sense. He arrived at the white ! house with a complete realization of the gravity ot the problems that were before him, and in the light of subsequent events it is apparent that he said to himself: “Well, here’s four years of' hard work. The best thing to do is to tackle it immediately.” He was informed as to how other presi dents did their work. Some of their methods appealed to him and he adopted them. But it seems to haye been his no tion that he was on duty all the time, He examined documents, he prepared state papers, he received visitors, entertained, he presided at cabinet meetings. It was only when bed time came that the affairs of the country were thrown off his mipd. The first.'impression that those who had never met him got when they called upon him was that his sencerity was absolute, and that when he told them he was pleased to meet them he meant it. The expression on his.face was that of manly uprightness. He talked clearly and readily and'forcibly. He was always logical. He stated beliefs and then explained his reasons for them. The political history of his administration and the pleasant story of his mayriage to a beautiful and brilliant woman are familiar to every American man and woman. Pronounced Hopeless, Yet . baved. From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd, of Groton, S. D., we quote: “Was taken with a bad cold, which settled on mv lungs, cough setin which finally terminated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up, saying I could not live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Saviour, determined it I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, coughs and colds. I gave it a trial, took in all, eight bottles; it has cured me, and thank God I am now a well ar.d hearty woman.” Trial bottles free at A. R.
