larly marked at Redfern's, where they
not only have hundreds of visitors to CX-

necessary to secure perfect fitting coat

pies n few exact measurements and an
old bodice which fits, and i'm due time
there is received a costume which is in
every respect equal TO one ordered by
word of mouth. And now what about
these stylish gowns? Here's in the first
place Redfern House gown of black

The birthplace of the Dead Chieftan and
His Wife a Scene of Mourning.
LANCASTER, o., Feb. 16.-To the peo-
pie of Lancaster the news of the death
of Sherman, regarded here at his old
home and birthplace as the great chief
tain of the war, was received with the
profoundest sorrow, and Immediately
public action was taken of memC~ial
character in memory of the illustr. us
dead. Every possible mark of love and
reverence is being evinced, and the town
draped in the deepest mourning. An
effort, started year ago, to erect here,
on the public square, in lieu of a COM
plete memorial hall, heroic statue of
the great captain by the citizens and
Grand Army officers of the Republic,
will now be carried into effect. This is
also the home and birthplace Of the dead
generals wife, younger children and
only living sister, Mrs, Gen. Reese.

Thomas Ewing, his brother-in law, and
Mrs. Alexander Green, who have at

illness. Gen. Sherman lay in bed from
Friday morning until he died without
speaking a word. He made the attempt
to do so several times, but was unable
to utter other than hoarse gasp. He

Recognized Those About Him
by look of the eye. His tongue was
swollen and his jaws were stiff some
hours before he died. Signs of death
were noticed half an hour before he
died in the icy coldness of his finger
tips. This coldness gradually extended
to his hands and arms. He war uncon-
scious for the last two hours he was
alive. No priest or clergyman was
present, neither was any called. The
general did not suffer any pain for the
last two days. Death came so quietly
that those at the bedside did not realize
that the general was dead until DR..
Alexander said. "All is over" Death
came with one long sigh. Immediately
after his death, Gems. Howard and Slo-
cum, who were on Gen. Sherman's
staff, were sent for. Some two weeks
ago the general made known his wishes
as to his burial. He particularly re-
quested that
His Body should Not Lie in state
anywhere. He also requested that the
funeral be a strictly military one, which
would be participated in ut ST. Louis by
his old comrades in arms He also re-
quested that the funeral rites be not in
conformity with any particular form
of religion. The funeral will be de-
layed until Thursday, so that Father
Thomas E. Sherman, who sailed from
Liverpool last Wednesday on the Ma
jestic, may be present. The vessel is
due next Wednesday. The body will
then be taken via the Twenty-third
street ferry to Jersey City. A special
train on the Pennsylvania road will con-
vey the body and all the members of the
Sherman family to st. Louis, where
Gen. Sherman will be buried beside his
wife.
The Scenes of Yesterday.
All day stream of humanity passed
and repassed the house in which the re-
mains of Gen. Sherman lay. From the
windows of many of the generals late
neighbors fioated the American flag at
half mast and in deep mourning. Many
are the floral tributes sent to the house.
The military guard from Governors
Island was on duty all day and will re-
main until the body is removed. Four
men were always on duty and relays
came on every three hours. One man
was stationed in the death chamber
while the others stood guard in the hall
below. 1t would be difficult to number

The Monnot and Spencer School Book
Bills Both Defeated by the House.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 12.-[Special.l l.
Yesterday was school book day in the
House. The Spencer School Book bill
and while the bill was under considera-
ton Representative Monnot of Stark, the
champion of cheap school books, who has
been working to get his school book bill
reported back to the House by the COM
mittee on common schools during the
past year, saw his opportunity of getting
his bill before the House, moved to sub
stitute his bill, which provides for
State publication for the Spencer bill.
Mr.. Monnot in support of his bill made
one of the best speeches ever delivered
in the House. He reviewed his history on
passed the House at the first session
of the 6Sth General Assembly, but was de-
feated in the Senate, and at the second
session OF that assembly he fought for the
same bill. and the House got into a
wrangle, and after amending the Poor
man bill he supported that as compro-
mise, which bill was again defeated. At
the last session, by the advise of num-
ber OF supporters of his bill, he compro-
missed on the Geyer bill, and in making a
speech on the Geyer bill said that the bill
would not relieve the people any, and
to-day he said we have the proof of the
same. He said as this was his last session
he would accept no compromise, but
would stand or fall on his original bill,
saying that the people would never get
any relief from the book combination un-
til some such measure as his would be-
come law.
The House afterwards defeated lis bill,
and after wrangle the Spencer bill was
also defeated. Representative Dresbach
made a speech against the Monnot bill.

SENATOR MOODY AT wAsHINGToN.

Washington Post 81: Senator G.. G..
Moody, of Deadwood, S. D., is at the
Ebbitt house. He has been SO busy for
the past few months that he has paid
very little attention to politics, he says.
Indeed" he remarked, ''there is no
election with us this year, and there is
therefore nothing to STIR the people up.
Harrison's administration has been, in a
measure, satisfactory, but we think the
interior department has made big mis-
take in the treatment OF the Indians.
The people of Dakota, think they know
q little about what ought to be done in
this matter. The Indians should be
taught to take care OF themselves so that
they can become citizens and be merged
with the great population Of the west.
They should be taught that it pays to be
friendly, and the friendly Indians ought
to be dealt with fairly. The hostiles
should be put down and they could be
put down easily. One Of the greatest
mistakes ever made was the policy pur-
sued 10 the treatment Of the Indians
