Invitations to Diplomats.
| The family of Mr.. Sherman have sent
personal invitations for the services at the
Washington home to such members of the
diplomatic corps as have left cards at the
house. Owing to the fact that Mr.. Sherman
was not at the time of his death connected
with the State Department., it is impossible
for the department to issue a general Off
cial invitation to the diplomatic corps to
attend the services. 1t is the wish OF the
family however that all members of the
corps now in Washington should feel them
selves included in the general invitation.
