Suggestions as to Legislation.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan 16-Hon John
Sherman arrived here Thursday afternoon
and was Immediately escorted to the house
of representative That body took recess
in honor of the guest, and the senate came
over by invitation. Representative Wash
burne delivered the address of welcome
which was responded to by tie senator. In

held in the senate chamber There was an
immense crowd of ladies and gentlemen
present Governor Foraker made
a short address of welcome to
Senator Sherman, whom he presented to the
people as a man worthy of his most flatter-
ing comments, both as to personal and pub
lie character. As soon as Mr.. Foraker had
closed Senator Sherman warmly thanked
the members for tue great honor Of electing
him to the cn;ted States senate for the fifth
time He said there was no man for whom
he had greater respect than for the distin-
guished citizen and jurist and statesman,
Judge Thurman, who had been the
,hoice Of the minority for senator
Upon many questions that would
tome before the senate he would vote lust
as Thurman would have voted. The most
important duty Of the legislature would be
to carefully revise the election laws to pre-
vent all frauds. The senator also called at
tention TO the great importance of wise
regulation of the liquor traffic. There
should also, he said, be some efficient remedy
by arbitration or summary process to settle
disputes between operators and laborers.

A HOUSE IN MOURNING.
A Good Woman Called H0me...Death
Claims Mrs. Faith Char.
ity Chann0u.

A good woman passed from earth last
evening; one whose untiring benevolence
and kipdly disposition to all has given her
wide acquaintance in the three cities,
and made her beloved by all who knew
her It was Mrs. Faith Charity Chan
non, who died suddenly at her home on
Twenty>third street, near Moline avenue,
at $50 She had been ailing during the
afternoon, but as similar spells of indis-
position were common TO her. neither
she nor the members OF the family felt
any alarm. She took tea with the Others
OF the family as usual, and after the meal
conversed in a happy manner and joked
with the little ones us was always her
pleasure. Toward bed time she COM
planned of return OF the symptoms
which had affected her in the afternoon,
and DR.. Truesdale was sent for, who,
upon arriving, instructed that she be put
to bed, and she never rose again, expiring
at the hour above mentioned. Mrs
Channon had, II is supposed, been con-
scious some time of deaths Iear ap-
proach and although she was cheerful al
all times, the announcement of death
affected her, aud she was heard on nu-
merous occasions to say that she Won
dered if her turn would come next. She
went so far at one time as to give the
names of the HYMNS she wished sang al
her funeral, and the pail bearers, the
names of whom are given below.
Mrs. Faith Charity Channou, wife
of William Channon. was born
in the parish of Stockleigh, Pomeroy,

plies.
