irg Invested extensively In that line from t;rae to time during hi residence here. Conservative estimates of his wealth place It at a round million dollars, most of whicli Is believed to corsist of Washington real tstat-;. Other investments consist of securities', and It Is claimed that the old family home at Mansfield, O., remained Jn Lis possession, notwithstanding reports that tie had disposed of It prior to his return to Washington Lift month. Mr. Sherman had not been In robust health for considerably over a year. In Marth. 1SX, while on a pleasure trip to the French and Spanish West Indies?, in company with a relative, Mr. Frank Witorg. he suffered a severe attack ot pneumonl.i. which almost proved fatal. The thlp on which they were traveling touched at Santiago, from which place reports camo to the United States that the wellknown statesman had succumbed to the disease. He rallied, however, and the family accejted the offer of the United States government to bring him back to th United States on the crul.ser Chicago, then In the vicinity of Santiago, and he was safely landed at Fort Monroe and brought to his home In this city. Here he gained strength and was strong enough by summertime to visit his home in Ohio. His remarkable vitality brought him through a relapse, which he suffered during th: heated term, and by autumn he had again regained much of his strength and seemed to be in good spirits. He spent last winter at his home In this city enjoying fairly good health, occasionally going out to social affairs and attending the theater with the members of his family. The family left here early in the summer for the old homestead at Mansfield, O. They were there but a short time when Mrs. Sherman, whose health had btn very frail, died. This was a severe blow to the secretary, from which he never fully recovered. He remained at Mansfield until the middle o September, when he returned to Washington.He was very much broken in health and fplrlt3. but for a time he was able to move about in the open air and to take short rides around the city. For the paxt three weeks or more, however, he had been confined to his bed, his general liability bHng aggravated by an irritating bronchial cough that hastened the end. The funeral arrangements, so far as they pertain to the services in Washington, were completed lato this afternoon. They will take place at the late residence of Mr. Sherman on Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. Mackay Smith, of St. John's Episcopal Church, being the officiating clergyman. Immediately after the services the body will be taken to Mansfield, 0, where the arrangements for the last sad rites have been left In the hands of llepresentati. V S. Kerr and other friends of the family. Services will be held on Thursday, probably in the Episcopal Church, usually attended by Mr. Sherman when at Mansfield, and the Interment will bo made on that afternoon in the family burial lot beside the grave of Mrs. Sherman. The party going from here will Include relatives and friends and also representative of the State and Treasury Departments. The list of honorary pallbearers is still Incomplete, but as far as those invited have accepted include the following: Secretary Gage. Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court. John A. Kasson, J. C. Bancroft Davis, J. B. Cameron, Senator Hawley and M. M. Parker. The member of the Cabinet now here will attend the services at the home, and President McKinley will go to Mansfield from Canton to attend the services theru Of the large family of brother and sisters originally comprising the Sherman family only two brothers survive the secretary. They are Major Hoyt Sherman and Lampson P. Sherman, both of Des Moines. Ia. The latter is in feeble health, and it Is not likely he will be able to attend the funeral at Mansfield. All day long there has been a steady stream of callers at the house, who cam to leave their condolences, the list Including official and resident society and members of the diplomatic corps. A large number of telegrams of sympathy, most of them from Ohio, also were received. Including messages from Senator Foraker, ex-Postmaster General James A. Gary, Governor George E. Nash of Ohio, ex-Secretary of State W. R. Day. James T. SicHugh, president Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, and Representative Grosvenor of Ohio. It is known that Mr. Sherman left a Willi, but no Information as to its contents, or even when It will be probated, will fce obtainable until after the funeral.

SOIIIIOW IX WASIIIXGTOX. President, Cabinet Officers and DlploinntH Eulogize tlic Late Oliloan. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The news of Mr. Sherman's death was communicated to the State Department by E. J. Eabcock. for many years private secretary and clerk to Mr. Sherman, In his various capacities as secretary of the treasury. United States senator and secretary of ttate, and at present private secretary to Secretary Hey. The State Department was at once notified, and the flags on the public buildings la Washington were ordered to half mast, so to remain until after the funeral. The President, as a mark of f pedal honor to' the deceased, who was not at the time of his death, connected In any official capacity with the government of the United States, resorted to the unusual course of personally preparing an expression of the Nation's grief In the form of a proclamation, descriptive of the personal qualities and civic abilities Ot the deceased statesman. At the State Department also a message was framed to be cabled to the United State:; ambassadors, ministers and charges abroad, officially notifying them of the demise of ex-Secretary Sherman. The department will be closed during the funeral service in order to allow the officials and WEATHER FORECAST. Gencrnlly Fair In Southern Indiana To-IJay -Itnlu In Northern. WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.

employes to attend. Ex-Secrctary Sherman was known intimately, not only officially but personally, to Secretary of Slate John Hay ever since the days of the. civil war, so that naturally Mr. Hay was cceply depressed at the news of the death of his deprecessor In office, even though that event had been expected for the past few days. In commenting on the sad event Secretary Hay said: "In the death of Mr. Sherman the country has lot one of Itgreatest citizens, a man whose name wis inseparately connected with all the greit events and policies of the latter half of the nineteenth century, a man not only of extraordinary ability, but of the most spotless character, and one whose personality, cs well as his work, will always be a model and Incentive to the youth of the country." The Navy Department flag will be haif masted in respect to Mr. Sherman's memory. Beyond this there will be no officii! action by this department. Secretary Lon was notified of the death of his former colleague after reaching the department. In speaking of the vent he said: "I can only express my de p regret and unlimited respect for Mr. Sh-jrman. He was a. remarkable man. one of the eminent statesmen of this country, and his name will be bo recorded in history. The country owes him a debt of gratitude for the service he rendered while secretary of the treasury, in maintaining the national crediton a soönd and conservative basis." Secretary Gage said of Mr. Sherman: "For nearly iorty-four years Mr. Sherman had been a prominent, influential figure in our public life. Whether as a representative, a senator or as a member of the Cabinet, he was at all times a distinctive force. He became secretary of the treasury at a most trying period. He had led the forces in Congress which passed the resumption act in 1874. As secretary of the treasury in 1&77 it became his duty to carry into effect the provisions of the law he had previously in Congress done so much to inaugurate. In the performance of this duty he had many difficulties to meet, but he met them with the wise foresight, the steady courage and the calm persistency which the occasion demanded. History will, I believe, point to that period as the most brilliant in his career, and will recognize that in bring' ing back the national treasury to specie payment on Jan. 1, 1879, he accomplished the greatest and most useful work of his long and fruitful life." Attorney General Griggs, In speaking of Mr. Sherman's death, said: "The death of John Sherman severs the most prominent human link that binds this generation to the period of the anti-slavery struggle. It is not generally recalled that he was a most prominent and active member of the committee of Congress which investigated and reported on the Kansas troubles. His public service covered practlcaly half a century. He always was conspicuous and frequently dominant in matters of great public policy. He was a type of the best and most useful public servant always patriotic, always progressive, not always Infallible, because he was human, but always honest in his purposes and sentiments and as a practical statesman a contributor In boundless measure to the material growth and welfare of the Nation. To him and to his great soldier brother the country owes a vast debt of gratitude and the tribute of Immortal fame." The news of Mr. Sherman's death was immediately communicated to the President, who had been extremely solicitous as to his former premier's condition. The last word previous to the announcement of Mr. Sherman's condition was received by the President at midnight. The President was greatly affected by the news. This morning he ordered that the White House be closed to visitors and the flag over the executive mansion be placed at half-mast. After ordering some beautiful flowers to be sent from the White House conservatory he

went in person to Mr. bncrman s late residence to express his grle and offer what consolation he could to the bereaved family. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock said to-day: "Mr. Sherman's record as a statesman and patriot will enshrine his memory in the hearts of the American people and be an inspiration through successive generations." In diplomatic circles the news of Mr. Sherman's death brought many expressions of heartfelt regret, as the foreign representatives have been brought into intimate association with him during his services as secretary of state. The French charge d'affaires, M. Thlebaut, accompanied by Captain Vlgnal and M. Beoufve, of the embassy staff, took early occasion to leave cards at the Sherman residence, and other members of the corps paid their respects later. The Chinese minister and members of his suite were among the callers about noon. M. Thlebaut spoke of Mr. Sherman as a man whose name was known the world over as conspicuous In the public life and progress of this country. Similar tributes were expressed at the Russian and German embassies. The Chinese minister, Mr. Wu, said that above all Mr. Sherman was a good man, a truly good man, one whose Influence had always been elevating in public affairs and for the maintenance of the right. SHERMAN'S FORTH. Uta Argument Were Always Supported by an Array of Fact. WASHINGTON. Oct. 22. Amonj Mr. Sherman's associates In the Senate his demise will be sincerely felt, without reference to party. In this field of activity his services had been particularly able and successful. He had served so long that experience added to his natural talents. He was a recognized master of all the great public questions, past and present, and he had at his fingeers ends all the arrayal of facts, figures and precedent to give complete elucidation to a subject. He was regarded as a guide, rather than a party leader, for his conservatism, caution.' Innate good Judgment and power of effective execution inspired confidence in any line of action which he advised. This was particularly true in later years, when he held a leading place In the Senate on the questions of finance and foreign affairs. Among the most heated arguments and the widest differences the entrance of the venerable Ohio senator into the debate was the signal for a period of calm and dispassionate consideration of the serious arguments of the case. His appearance In a debate was often like the sudden entrance of the schoolmoster into a room of unruly pupils. Mr. Sherman was not regarded as a great orator. His forte was more in the cool analysis of a proposition, appealing to the judgment, rather than to the emotions, and carrying conviction. He presented the simple facts, without any attempt at ornate diction. As a debater he had few equals. Of late years he seldom entered Into the dally discussions on lesser topics, but reserved his efforts for the greater questions. The personal appearance of Mr. Sherman added to the Intellectual force he exerted. He is well remembered as he appeared on the floor of the Senate during the financial debates preceding the presidential election of 1896. His tall, spare figure was bent slightly forward over his desk as. with his index finger extended, he laid down the financial principles of which he had been so close a student. During the later months of his service in the Senate Mr. Sherman had a habit of speaking and then retiring from the chamber, as though all had been said. In earlier years he was a most attentive listener, even to the minor routine of the Senate, and was most deferential and considerate of those with whom he differed, particularly the newcomers. In private life Mr. Sherman was known as a shrewd business man, whose habits of Industry, thrift and economy had built up a large fortune. When in this city Mr. Sherman spent most of the time in his library, immediately to the right of the main entrance and opposlto the drawing room Here he could be found almost every day, sitting in a great leather chair before a wide, flat desk of antique pattern. The walls are covered with books, not, however, the books of a student or literary man. but volumes of historical data, governmental statistics and treatises on public questions with which his mind had been so long engaged. He gave considerable time, also, to looking after his large property Interests. Mr. Sherman was well known about the streets of Washington. He- was fond of walking, and in his later years he drove almost every afternoon in a large open carriage, accompanied, until her death, by Mrs. Sherman. The tall, straight-lined Move-pipe hat. not of the latest design, was invariably worn by him. and his dress was that of simplicity and dignity, in keep ing wim ine cnaracter or the man. - HAW A, PAYXE, JOXES, ECKELS. Four Men, Who Knew Sherman "Well l'ralae III Public Service. CHICAGO. Oct. 22.-Iiegarding the death of ex-Secretary John Sherman, Senator llanna, chairman of the Republican na tlonal committee, said to-day: "Though not unexpected, the news of Senator Sher man's death is sad news to everybody. Ever since my connection with public af fairs I have been a supporter and ardent admirer of Sherman. I have always r

garded him as the ablest and most conservative statesman of our country. He was In every sens-. a true American. His long career of public service has not been marred by a failure. The greatest monument to hi:- memory will be his own spien-, did record." Henry C. Payne, vice chairman of the Republican national committee, said: "My acquaintance with Senator Sherman has extended over a period of thirty years, and he possessed my highest respect and regard. His business record has been a credit to himself and his country. He is one of the statesmen who has accomplished something in the way of legislation which has made and will continue to make a strong impression on the welfare of the country. His passing away removes one of the statesmen of what may be called the war period and there are not many left." Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the Democratic national committee, said: "For many years I regarded Mr. Sherman as the wisest Republican In public life. He was a man of great sagacity and foresight, and he Impressed his personality a? much upon the government in the last forty years as any other man who has been before the public." Ex-Controller of the Treasury James H. Eckels, said: "I regret to learn that Senator Sherman has passed away. I knew

him intimately in Washington. I don t know of any one man who could have been more gracious in his own home and more entertaining In conversation." HIS PLACE 1 HISTORY SECURE. Tribute from Day, "Who Succeeded Sherman na Secretny of State. CANTON, O., Oct. 22. Judge William R. Day, who succeeded the late John Sherman as secretary of state, In speaking of hl3 death, said: "In the death of Secretary Sherman the country has lost one of Its foremost statesmen and notable figures. Mr. Sherman had been continuously In national affairs for a greater period of time than any man now living. He became prominent In public life as far back as the fifties, when he was a member of the congressional committee that visited Kansas to Investigate the troubles then prevailing there. He helped form the Republican party, and throughout his long career was one of Its most trusted and able leaders. Perhaps his crowning work was as secretary of the treasury under President Hayes, when he carried to successful Issue the act providing for the resumption of specie payment. In a great measure we owe to his firmness and courage the high credit of our country abroad and the sound condition of its finances at home. He was indeed a great man, and his countrymen will mourn his loss and cherish his memory. His place in history Is secure as one of the foremost of American statesmen." Dell Tolled at Munsficld. MANSFIELD, O., Oct. 22. The bells of churches, shops and of the fire department were tolled this afternoon on account of Senator Sherman's death. Flags are at half-mast. A proclamation will be made by Mayor Brown to have business places, factories and schools as well as the postoffice closed on Thursday during the funeral. The Sherman residence is being opened up. Services likely will be held at Grace Episcopal Church. . SIIERMAVS PUBLIC CAREER. III Work in Congress and in the Treasury Department. The passing of John Sherman removed from the public stage about the last of those towering figures whose public lives, beginning with the civil war and covering a period of the last forty years, were Interwoven with the great events of that epoch. As his Illustrious brother, "William lecumseh, shared with Grant and Sheridan the highest place among the military heroes of the generation, so too, John Sherman stood in civic life along with Seward, Sumner, Evarts, Blaine and that coterie of Intellectual giants of war and reconstruction days. Always a leader, twice a member of the Cabinet, first as head of the treasury and then of state affairs, ,three times a candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency, and for years one of the great creative forces in Congress, his name was Identified with the laws, the lawmaking and the political struggles which engaged attention for almost half a century. Few men had more continuous public service in such a diversity of fields and In all of them his work was conspicuous. John Sherman, as stated In the Journal yesterday, was born In Lancaster, O., May 10. 1823, three years after the birth of hi3 brother William Tecumseh. They came of sturdy ancestors, tracing their lineage back to Roger Sherman, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and to the Shermans who came over shortly after the landing of the Pilgrims. The father was a lawyer of prominence in Ohio, who rose in later life to be judge of the Supreme Court. When he died in 1S29 the large family of boys were left with scant support, and were adopted lay friends and relatives. William went. with Thomas Ewing, who shaped his career as a soldier, while John went with an older brother, Charles, at Mansfield, and took up the study of law. which. In turn took him into the field of politics and public life. , FIRST PUBLIC SERVICE. John's first public service was in 1S4S, when he was a delegate to the Whig convention at Philadelphia, which nominated Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Again in 1852 he was a delegate to Baltimore, when Winfield Scott was nominated for the presidency. In those early days his characteristics of caution and conservatism had marked him as a safe man among the many who were wrought to excltlir.ent and emotion by the events leading up to the war. This characteristic secured for him his first election to Congress. He was elected to the Thirty-fourth Congress,. and took his seat Dec. 3. 1K53. A momentous reriod was Just then unfolding and he camo upon the scene when Just such a man of ability and courage was neded. The at tempts to repeal the Missouri compromise. the Drcd Scott decision, the fugitive slave law, the spread of abolition sentiment and the lowering cloud of a civil conflict gavo evidence that the very existence of the Re public was at stake. Amid such Impressive conditions Sherman at once came to the front as one of the leaders of leglsla tive action. His prominence began when the speaker, Nathaniel P. Banks, appointed Mm on the committee to investigate tho ruffianism In "bleeding Kansas." He was acting chairman during the inquiry, and the report he made was the basis for the presidential canvass of 1856. At the end of his second term in Congress he was rec cgnixed as the foremost man in the House of Representatives. He was a candidate for speaker, coming within three votes of that position. Ills defeat for the speakership led to his becoming chairman of the committee on ways and means. Here for the first time his peculiar genius for finance showed itself. The finances of the country were badly crippled and members of the Congress were not receiving their pay. His first step was In securing the passage of the bill authorizing the treasury notes of 1SG0. "About this time, Salmon P. Chase re signed his seat as senator from Ohio, and Sherman was elected to his place, entering the Senate for the first time on March 4, ISol. His congressional fame had preceded him. and he at once took the same rank In the upper branch as he had In the lower His service was continuous until 1S73, most of the time as chairman of the finance committee, in which position he wrote many of those far-reaching measures of finance with which he was identified. The suspension of specie payment o.?cured in 1SC2. necessitating the issue of United States notes. He largely carried this meas lire through, and was . also the defender of the legal-tender feature of these notes. which excited wide differences in and out of Congress. Following this, he devised the plan for resuming specie payment, and practically framed the till by which re sumption was to occur on Jan. 1. 1S79. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. When Hayes became President. Sherman entered the treasury, and there, as execu tive officer, he had an opportunity to exe cute the plan of specie payment which he had previously placed on the statute books. His first move was to begin the acumulation of a great stock of gold with which to pay specie for paper when Jan 1, 1S79, arrived. Six months before that time he had acumulated $140,000,000, and when Jan. 1 came, he had the satisfaction of seeing the paper money gradually rise to the value of gold, until gold no longer brought a premium. The execution of this Important fiscal move, through Congress

and in the treasury, aroused differences.

and there -was criticism as well as ap proval. In 1SS0 he became a candidate for the Presidency, and his name was presented to the national convention by James A. Garneld. In the contest between the friends of Grant and Blaine, Garfield was nomi nated. Again la the national convention of 1SSI he was placed in nomination by Joseph B. Foraker. But the Ohio delega tion divided, and Sherman secured only a few votes. In ISsS ho was a candidate for the third time, leading throughout with 24'J votes on the s?cond ballot and con tinually thereafter until Benjamin Harri son was nominated by the withdrawal of other candidates. Mr. Sherman had returned to the Sen ate In lSl, serving continuously until 1S37, wnen he resigned to enter the Cabinet of President McKinley as secretary of state. His resignation from the Cabinet occurred soon after the declaration of war with Spain, and he returned to private life after forty-five years of almost continuous public service, lie spent consid erable time in earning forward his mem oirs from his previous book, and after the American occunation of Cuba, took a long Journey through the West Indies, spending much of his time In Cuba and Porto Rico. While on this journey he was stricken with what was at that time (the spring of 1SW believed to be his last illness, and, in fact, a report emanating from Kingston, circumstantially related the details of his death, the story gaining wide circulation. But Mr. Sherman returned to the United States, and after com pleting the literary work, referred to above. at nis home in Washington, he and Mrs. Sherman, wno was in all things and above all her husband's constant companion and adviser, returned to Mansfield, O., with intent to end their days there in the peacerui surroundings which had been lacking during so many years of their lives. But they returned to Washington, which seemed ever to draw them to the scene of Mr. Sherman's activities and triumphs, and Mrs. Sherman's Illness and death followed. After a brief visit to Mansfield, he came again to Washington, and since then the venerable statesman has been showing in his mental faculties symptoms of that decay which long had been sapping his physical powers. The beginning of the end became clearly perceptible early in tne present month, and since then the decline was steady, until dissolution came. DEATHS OF SOLDIERS.

Assistant Secretary of War Melklejohn narrowly escaped death after a . most thrilling experience. Saturday afternoon he spoke at Stromsburg, Polk county, and later left for Clarks, fourteen miles northwest, In a light buggy with a driver, intending to cover the distance in two hours, to catch the midnight train east. He had gone but a third of the distance when a cloudburst covered the whole valley through which he was passing. Culverts and bridges were washed away, and it becamo so dark that it was impossible to see the horse. Melklejohn and the orlver got out of the wagon and began to search for the road. To remain where they were seemed certain death, and they decided to leave the roadway to the instincts of the hors3. They had only three matches and two of these were blown out in an instant by thd fury of the gale. Melklejohn had a shirt In his grip and a bottle of cosmollne. He took the garment and wound it securely around the butt of the whip. He smeared the petroleum over the muslin, and with his remaining match set the hastily improvised torch on fire. The light disclosed a torrent or water in front. Fifty feet further and they would have gone over Into a deep gully and been carried out to the river. Slowly the two men picked their way back to the roadway, and with the occasional flashes of lightning and the aid of the torch managed to get Into Clarks, six and one-half hours late and almost exhausted. HERE IS AN IDEA. Traveling Salcnmen Might Profit by Following: an American Clreua. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-A vague antipathy toward the United States among the people of Alx-la-Chapclle, Germany, has been turned into respect and awe, and an American circus was the medium. When the circus arrived in town not a workman went to the factories, and the spindles were idle all day. At every performance tho tent was full, and the people now say that "anything is possible to Americans." Consul Brundage thinks that if an agent for American goods should follow in the wake of the circus the newly awakened admiration would give ids goods a ready sale. Movements of Steamers.

"When a two months old baby refuse to nurse and cannot digest any of the "baby foods' or cows' milk prepared In different ways, we must do something or loso the baby. That was the condition of our little one about a year and a half ago. "We tried every baby food on the market, beside the cow's milk, but nothing seemed to agree with him. He suffered from Indigestion until by the time he was nine months old he had grown so weak and emaclaled that we didn't think he could live. At last his stomach refused to take amythlng, and for three days the little fellow was actually starving for something he could digest. "I happened to have a box of Grape-Nuts In the house, and, getting a teaspoonful, poured a little hot water over it. letting the food stand a few minutes, then gave the baby the brown water which bad the strength of the Grape-Nuts in it. He could take but two spoonfuls at a time and then rest a while. "Ills stomach retained the food and after one day's use of the Grape-Nuts in this way his bowels were right for the first time In six months. I continued to feed him tho water from the Grape-Nuts and a little cream and later on the softened food Itself, and he steadily improved, his little body and limbs beginning to get round and plump, and by the time he was a year ol4 he was as large again as when nine month! old. At fifteen months he weighed twentythree pounds, and now, at eighteen months, he is a great, fat. Jolly baby, climbing pnd going everywhere, full of fun. rojy cheeks and bright eyes. "During all this time his f od has been Grape-Nuts; Just the water t firt, then later on he had the food Itself. He is the best advertisement Grape-Nuts could hive in this town, for every one knew hla condition and no one thought he could possibly live. We give all the praise to this most valuable food and never lose an opportunity to recommend It to persons suffering from Indigestion and lack of nourishment." Mrs. C. D. Johnston. Greenfield. Ind. Actual proof is better than all theory, yet It is well to know that Grape-Nuts food la made scientifically and made for a purpose. The most powerful elements in. wheat and barley are used and so -prepared us to furnish the human body with those food elements, predigested in a natural manner; that is, turned from starch Into grap sugar. The food is powerful enough for athletci and easy enough of digestion (as shorrn the above experience) icr ttt ntzttzi tzt,
