Chicago, Jan. 15.-The convention of
governors of the arid states which was
to consider the irrigation problem jan
uary II, has been postponed indef-
nitely Observation-Disclosures of Wyoming,
who arrived in the city last night, de-
clared he was much disappointed by
the action.
There has been some apathy shown
by the governors" he said, land I am
disappointed because we could not
meet and take some action. Governor
Thomas, of Colorado, would have been
at the convention, but Governors Otero
of New Mexico and Murphy of Arizona
are busy with matters of state. The
question of statehood is occupying
their time.
ut is necessary that something
should be done for those great
stretches of land, but there will be con-

appropriation asked by the arid states.

Few Women In official life have been
more widely known and more general
ly admired than Mrs. John Sherman,
although her retiring disposition made
her averse to ostentation of any kind.
She was essentially home woman
with the simplest tastes and much
more devoted to affairs about her own
hearthstone than to any phase of pub
lie life. The simplicity with which her
early married life was surrounded was
continued as far as possible in later
years. She disliked exaggeration in
any form, especially where 1t related
to the every day details OF her home.
In Intercourse she was unaffected,
amiable and painstaking in her efforts
to help others, and these traits of
character We're just as conspicuous In
her social career. which covered many
years In this city. Those who knew
her in her modest home, the first resi-
dence of Mr.. Sherman here. found the
same gentle charms of manner when
she received them in the splendid white
mansion in X street. No entertain
mentf ever given at official homes were
more complete and elegant in every
way than those presided over by Mrs.
Sherman. Her wide acquaintance
among the oldest Washington families
always made the assemblages under
the Sherman roof gatherings of unu-
sual pleasure from a local standpoint.
