STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS
The Wife of Ex-Secretary of State Sherman
Attacked.
The Entire Right Side Afected-Re.
ported ns Somewhat Better
This Afternoon.

Mrs. John Sherman, wife of the ex-Secre-
tary of State, was stricken with paralysis
this morning and is in a serious condition
DIR. w. W. Johnston and DR.. Franck Hyatt
are in attendance. Mrs. Sherman arose at
her usual early hour this morning, and
about o'clock, while in her bath room,
finishing her toilet, was heard to fall heav-
lily on the floor Mr.. Sherman, who was in
an adjoining room, fastened to her and
found Ter helpless. Several doctors were
hastily summoned. but it was after s
o'clock when they reached the patient. The
entire right side is affected, and great
alarm was felt during the morning that a
fatal ending would result. This afternoon,
however, she was considered somewhat i'm
proved. Mrs. McCallum, the adopted daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman, is with her
parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman returned Tuesday
from the Virginia Hot Springs where they
had spent four or five days. With that
since their return early in July from their
trip to California and Alaska.
Mrs. Sherman has enjoyed the best Of
health all her life and especially of late
years has seldom ever required the care of
a physician. She has been particularly ac-
tive in caring for the sick, and during the
past summer took care of the little chill
dren of relative who was i'll with fever.
Mrs. Sherman is one of the best known
women in Washington, where she has re-
sided during all of her distinguished hus-
bands public career. Few women have
evoked such genuine admiration because Of
the firmness of her friendships and the sin
gular evenness of her disposition. No pub
lie man has ever had a truer hepmeet. One
of her distinguishing characteristics was a
great distaste for anything approaching
ostentation or display, and nobody unac-
quainted with herself or her husband
would have supposed that she was the
wife OF a rich man. Her cordial but quiet
ly dlgnified manner never faltered and this
refreshing indication of the simplicity
which accompanied her through life has
been always her greatest charm.

void alb initio. 1t also recognizes the fact
shat in cases where parties have been di-
vorced in the eye of state law they are
still man and wife in the eye of God, by
i0rbidding the repetition of the marriage
service, except in so far as to proclaim the
parties man and wife and invoke upon
them the nuptial benediction''
The amendment was not adopted.
Bishop seymour then suggested that the
majority canon be amended by adding that
il snail not apply to parties 10 a divorce,
the cause arising before marriage He said
II at he knew a case where man married
young woman. believing her single, but
later he learned she had husband living
at the time he married her. He got a
divorce. and although innocent of wrong
doing, he would, if the ma jority canon pre-
vailed. be prevented from remarrying In
the Episcopal Church.
Bishop Doane. the father of the majority
canon, was willing to accept this amend
ment, but his principal adherents who
were part of the majority Of the joint COM
mission, protested.
Bishop Potter, however, took the amend
ment and Incorporated 1t in his minority
canon, making It read as follows: NO min
ister of this church shall solemnize tn.
marriage of either party to a divorce who
has a husDa~d or wife living, If such hus-
band or wife has been put away for any
cause arising after marriage"
Amendments Proposed.
ment to do away with any discipline for
the innocent party in a case of adultery
who is remarked by some other clergyman
than ono of the Episcopal Church.
In the debate Bishop McKim of Tokyo
said:
Il am in favor of the canon reported by
the majority of the joint commission as
amended by the bishop of Chicago. This
amendment is 10 do away with any dis.
cipline for the innocent party in a case OF
adultery who is remarked by some other
clergyman than one of the Episcopal
Church. This seems to me to be the ra-
tional solution Of the difficulty
Other amendments were offered but no
final action was taken on the completed
canon.
Other Sections Disposed or.
Previously the bishops quickly disposed
of other and less important sections of the
same canon. The chairman of the Joint
commission first moved the adoption n,
paragraph /. as follows:
mo minister shall solemnize a marriage
