His Residence on X Street.
The residence which Mr.. Sherman occu-
pied while senator and previously nearly
adjoins the splendid K street mansion In
which his later years were spent. Ihe
building of the latter gave both him and
his wife a pleasant occupation. although
many persons supposed that 1t was their
intention to furnish it in a much E.ore
elaborate style than that which they select
ed Many brilliant events occurred WITHIN
it, a series of notable evening receptions,

was witnessed by brilliant assemblage of
Washington notables While both Mr. and
Mrs Sherman probably much preferred the
quiet of their own fireside or the less for
NAL gatherings in the houses of their life
lcng neighbors, neither shirked the respon-
sbilities of their public position, and were
frequent participants in the official and
resident hospitalities each season. while at
stated intervals their own home was open
to their friends and the public generally.
In the calls of ceremony MIR. Sherman
was extremely punctilious, while his wife
carried out to the letter the particular re-
quirements which custom ordained for each
family in official life. Both were authori-
ties in these matters. but neither did more
than follow the accepted rules as they found
them.

The President this afternoon issued the
following proclamation In regard to the
death of ex-Secretary John Sherman:
By the President of the United States Of
America
A Proclamation.
To the People of the United States:
In the fullness of years and honors, John
Sherman, lately Secretary of State, has
passed away.
Few among our citizens have risen to
greater or more deserved eminence in the
national councils than he. The story of his
public life and services is, as it were, the
history of the country for half a century.
In the Congress Of the United States he
ranked among the foremost in the House
and later in the Senate. He was twice a
member of the executive cabinet, first as
Secretary Of the Treasury and afterward as
Secretary of State. Whether in debate
during the dark hours Of our civil war or
as the director of the country's finances
during the period of rehabilitation, or as a
trusted councillor in framing the nations
ponent Of its foreign policy. his course was
ever marked by devotion to the best in
terests of his beloved land, and by
able and conscientious effort to uphold
its dignity and honor. His countrymen
will long revere his memory and see in
him a type of the patriotism, the upright
ness and the zeal that go to moiding and
Strengthening nation.
In fitting expression of the sense Of be-
reayement that affiicts the republic, direct

drove to the Sherman home to personally
express his deep grief, tender his consola-
ton and offer his services. Mrs. Mckinley
also went over later. Mrs. McCallum in
formed the President of the provisional ar
rangements for the funeral services. The
President decided not to delay his depar-
ture fer Canton and will adhere to the pro-
gram of leaving tonight. He will attend
the funeral at Mansfield on Thursday.
At the State Department.
The news of Mr.. Shermans death was
communicated to the State Department,
over the affairs Of which he had once pre-
sided, by Mr.. E. ]. Babcock, for many yers
private secretary and clerk to Mr.. Sherman
in his various capacities as Secretary of the
Treasury, United States senator and Secre-
tary of State, and at present private sec
retary to Secretary Hay. The President was
at once informed by the department and

ington were lowered at half mast. so to re-

who was rot at the time of his death con-
nected in any official capacity with the
government of the United States, resorted
to the unusual course of personally prepar-
ing an expression of the nations grief in
the shape of a proclamation descriptive of
the personal qualities and civic abilities OF
the deceased StateSman.
At the State Department also message
was framed to be transmitted in multiple to
the United States ambassadors. ministers
and charges abroad officially notifying them
of the demise of ex-Secretry Sherman. 1t
also decided that the Department of
State shall be closed for business during
the progress of the funeral services, in
order to allow the officials and employees to
attend in person.
EX-Secretary Sherman was known inti-
mately not only officially but personally to
Secretary of State Hay ever since the days
of the civil war so that naturally Mr.. Hay
was deeply impressed at the news of the
death of his predecessor in office. even
though that event had been expected for the
last few days. In commenting upon the sad
event Secretary Hay said:
In the death of Mr.. Sherman the coun-
try has lost one of its greatest citizens-a
man whose name was inseparably connected
with all the great 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 well his work will

The Navy Department flag will be half
masted in respect to Mr.. Sharman's men,
ory. Beyond that there will be official
action by that department. Secretary Long
was notified of the death of his former col
league after reaching the department this
morning. In speaking of the event he said:
Il can only express my deep regret and
unlimited respect for hir. Sherman. He was
remarkable man, one of the eminent
statesmen of this country. and his name
will be so recorded in history. The country
owes him debt Of gratitude for the serv-
ice he rendered while Secretary Of the
Treasury in maintaining the national credit

The detailed record of measures by which
the legal tender notes of the government
had reached a par value, and by which
specie resumption became an accomplished
fact at the time fixed for 1t, exhibit the
man under whose lead this was done as
fnancier of the highest order. So marked
was the conviction of this fact that the
board of trade in New York city recog-
nized his services in the achievement by
authorizing his portrait to be hung upon
the walls of their building, compliment
which has been bestowed upon no other
financier since the days of Alexander Ham
ilton. At once, upon the resumption of
specie payments, the Secretary put into
execution fresh measures for the refunding
of the remainder of government Indebted
ness, and SO successful were his efforts that
at the end Of two years he was able to saw
$3.50 100000, making a saving in annual in
terest Of $l5,000.O0O.
Back in the Senate.
After retiring from President Hayes cab
met Mr.. Sherman was reelected to the
Serate to succeed Allen G. Thurman and
took his seat March 4. 1881. He served con-
tipuously until March, 1897 when he re-
signed to accept the portfolio of Secretary
Of State in President McKinley's cabinet.
While in the Senate Mr.. Sherman was
chairman Of the committee of finance and
Of the committee on foreign relations, also
serving a term as president pro tempore of
the Senate. He was author of the Sher-
man antitrust law and of the law for the
coinage of silver, which also bears his
name He took part in the preparation of
every important piece of legislation enacted
in recent years. ,s-
He was a candidate for the presidential
nomination before the republican conven-
tions of $780, 1884 and Of 1888, being at the
latter convention the leading candidate
with vote as high as 2i9 until Harrison
snddenly passed him and received the nOmi-
nation.
Failing health caused Mr.. Sherman to
retire from the cabinet in September. 1888.
After his resignation he devoted his time
to study and reading, taking but passing
interest in politics.. In these years he was
fond Of going back over the events of the
past and his "reminiscences OF men and
events were always interesting, n hts

Habits of Life.

Even while feeling somewhat the advance
of years the ordinary routine of the Sher-
man household at the beginning Of the pres
ent administration did not vary, SO far as
its heads were concerned. Mr.. Sherman.
until his retirement from the cabinet, was
accustomed to arise before Z o'clock, and
the couple rarely sat down to breakfast
later than o'clock. Unless social or pub
lie cares forbade they retired at an early
hour. The library of the big stone mansion
has a charming outlook on Franklin Square.
In this room, until his last illness came
upon him, Mr.. Sherman spent most of his
time since his release from public life. Here
in a deep leather chair before his desk he
pored over his books, attended to his busi-
ness affairs or received his visitors. Books
of the kind he most fancied-history, finance
and kindred topics-were most frequently
his companions, and it is with such an en-
vironment his memory will lnger longest
in the minds of his visitors of later years.
Mr. Sherman's ShrewI investments in real
estate had large part in the foundation Of
his large wealth.
Perhaps the creates sa abstraction enjoyed
by the couple, however. in their long life
was the adoption of baby girl in the early
years of their residence in this city. AS

whom, in anticipation of his probable death,
Mr. Sherman several weeks ago decided the
K street home. Their own youth was re-
rewed in the prattle of the McCallum chill
dren, the elder of whom was named for his
distinguished grandfather, while his baby
sister received her grandmother's name.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Sherman were devoted
to the children of the formers brothers and
sisters, and each of the great events in the
family history had Its pleasure enhanced
by their presence. A few years ago the
youngest daughter Of General Sherman,
Rachel was married in her uncle's home to
DR.. Thorndyke of Boston. The ceremony
was attended by the connections of the
Sherman family from many points and nu-
merous friends of the bride residing in this

Secretary Gage said Of Mr.. Sherman:
For nearly forty-five years Mr.. Sherman
had been a prominent and influential hgure
in our public life. Whether as representa-
tive a senator or as member OF the cabl-
net he was at all times distinctive and
recognized 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 1877 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 recog-
nize that in bringing back the national
treasury to specie payment on January l..
1879 he accomplished the greatest and most
useful work of his long and fruitful lie.

Treasury Department served under Mr..
Sherman when the latter was at the head
of the treasury and knew him we'll. Gen.
