John Sherman was born at Laucas-

count of the death of his parents in
1929, leaving large family. ne was
cared for by cousin i n Mount ver-
non, where be went to school. His
first public service was in the engineer
corps, and he was removed because be
was q Whig. He studied law, and was
admitted to the bar n 1874 In ls48
he was delegate tothe Wing oonYen-
tion in Philadelphia, and in 1852, a
delegate to the Baltimore convention
which nominated Winfield Scott. He
was elected 10 the Thirty fourth con-
gress Dec. 3, 1866, ana was again re-
elected to the Thirty sixth congress.
and again 1850, andsIarch 4, 1881, was
elected senator. Was also elected sen
ator in 1867 and 1873. At conclusion
sion Of Hayes administration, was
returned to the senate, and remained
there until be resigned to enter Mo
Kinley's cabinet.
1t was only after much pressure that
Mr.. sherman consented to leave the
senate and accept the place at the
head Of the state department. which
Mr.. Mckinley pressed upon him. 1t
was apparent even then that Mr..
Sherman was failing and that his mem-
ory, hitherto marvellous, was going
back on him. Six days after the war
with Spain broke out he resigned the
portfolio and announced to his friends
that he Was done forever with public
life.
Mr.. Sherman never fully regsined
his health since his illness in Cuba,
after the war, and the death of Mrs.
Sherman last year materially aged Mr.
Sherman.

Washington, oot, 22.-Hon. John
Sherman who for period Of 40 years
has occupied prominent place in leg

the United states, died here at Gao
this morning. Of brain exhaustion,
aged 7s. Death came to the aged sur
ferer peacefully, after almost a6 hours
Of nearly complete unconsciousness.

who had assembled in Washington in
response to summons, we're at his.
bedside when the end came. The most
devoted among them was Mrs. Mccall
lum, the adopted d.nahter of score,
tary and Mrs. sherman. The funeral
services over the remains will be held
in this city and the iDterment viii be
at Mansfield, o., the seCretary's old
home.
The secretary was large holder OF
real estate in this city, having invested
extensively from time to time. Con-
servative estimates of his wealth place
it at 100000 0 her investments
consist Of securities, and il is stated
that the old family homestead at Mans
fad, o., remained in his possession,
Notwithstanding reports that he dis
posed OF it prior to his return to wash
ington last month.
Among Mr.. Sherman's former asso-
oiatss in the senate, his demise will be
sincerely felt, without reference to
party In this field Of activity, his ser>
vice has been particularly able and
successful. he had served so long that
experience added to bis natural tslepss
he was the recognized master of all
great public questions, past and pres

the facts, figures, and precsnts to give

as a party leader, for his conservatism,
csaAiOn, innate good judgment, and

This is particularly true Of his lat
