CLEVELAND, April Senator Don Cam
eron having escaped step-mother only to
come soon into possession of mother in
law, it may interest the general public to
learn something of the home and family of
which he becomes part at as early date as
May 9Th, If the current rumor counts for
anything. The father of thu prospective
bride. Judge Charles T. Sherman, spent most
of his life in Mansfield, where Secretary
Sherman still possesses a house and farm
and was rated as lawyer of ordinary ability,
with no chance of escaping tho routine of
country court work unless some special dis
pensation should occur in his behalf. About
1867 such an event did result from his having
one brother in the United States Senate
and another at the head of the army, and
Charles became United States district
judge, with his head quarters at Cleveland.
1t was rumored when the appointment
was made that the Judge would bring very
excellent wife, much his junior in years, and
an amiable family to Cleveland, and the ex-
pectation was soon after filled.
-Four daughters and two sons composed
the household, and of the six Miss Lizzie,
then child of ten or eleven. was the young
est and the prettiest. OF the daughters. Miss
Mary, now the wife of General Nelson Miles,
the Indian fighter, was the Oldest: Miss An
ma, who has since died Of typhoid fever, was
the next, and Miss Ida, now the wife of
Colgate Hoyt, of this city, came third. The
elder daughters Immediately took the place
in society that their beauty, accomplish
ments and the position of their father enti-
tied them, and won devoted attentions from
the young beaus about town, while Miss Liz
zie went to school, where she industriousiy
struggled with her tasks, thrummed away at
her music lessons, and laid the foundations
for the accomplishments that will grace and
adorn the high position to which she has
been called.
q The sons were early looked upon as SEN
sible, well-behaved boys, but not intended to
shine brilliantly in any career. One of
them, Henry, soon branched into law, and
at present is practicing that profession in
partnership with Judge Wiley, in this city.
He was assistant United States attorney in
this district during term or so, and soon
after arriving here was married to a daugh-
ter of the late George A. Benedict, the vet
eran editor of the Cleveland Herald. The
other son, named after the secretary, is at
present United States marshal in Mexico.
The boys are unlike in appearance, Henry
being tall, slim, with the glasses and air OF a
student, while John is short and thick-set,
and carries q business air into all he says
and does.
The first marriage in the family occurred
some six or eight years ag, when the gallant
General Miles had made an onslaught on the
affections of Miss Mary, and won the day

the Indian Inc. think he was colonel in
those days, but being favorite with General
Sherman, stood in the direct line of promo

ed by his alliance, as it is Sherman trait
always to do we'll by their own. His visits
to the city were frequent, but were generally

him. The wedding was conducted in extern

copied as compliments and repaid by polite

The coming wedding, which is the cause
and excuse for all this gossip, is the one
event talked of here. May 9th, as has been
said, is tue day set, although no one need be
surprised if change should even yet be
made. The probabilities are that the half
determination now formed to have the cere.
mony quiet and witnessed by only members
of the Sherman and Cameron families will
be changed, as there are SO many eyes anx-
ious to catch glimpse at the wonders to be
displayed in the toilet line, to say nothing OF

bargain, that the family idea will be given
up, and the broad portals of St. Paul's Epis-
copal church be thrown open for the dear

dence of Judge Sherman would certainly
stand no rush of any size. It is q

thoroughfare, and, although in shape TO,

such reception as Cleveland ought to give

occasion. 1t is new and colossal, and stand
ing as it does, on the intersection of Euclid
avenue with Case avenue, is in the very cen.

Miss Sherman is at home most of the
time, and goes little into society here
this season. The trousseau is under way
in New York, it is said-and the care anc

portion of tho great event is in itself suf1i
