are designed to carry out the sim
plicity, unassuming and unpretentious
character of the great man.
Friends of Mrs. Cleveland say that
she believes that he would not have

deur, that he would have wished to
be burled as a plain citizen of the
country he loved and served In the
highest capoclty as long as any man
Is permitted to hold that great office
Mrs. Cleveland Is bearing up well.
The city Is filled with visitors, the
majority of whom have come to at
tend the funeral. The widow has re
ceived more telegraphic messages
than Is usually handled by the office
here In weeks. They come from all
parts of the world, and every corner
of the country.

could not be cashed, but Instead Mr.

where the Interesting story was se

The postofflce department will Is--
sue to Mr. Riley the amount of the
orders In drafts, which will be cashed '
at local banks.
The task of Issuing the applications
for renewals of the 250 orders waa
ope of huge magnitude as each one
of the 250 orders had to be personally
Inspected and compared to the ad--vices
from the Tacoma office which
issued them and it required the great
er part of a day to inspect the pile
of orders and issue the 25 applications
for renewals.
So far as Is known this' is the larg
