I'VE, the members of the Ohio Republican
Association, desire to express our profound
sorrow at the death Of John Sherman, which
took place in this city last Monday morning,
and we take this occasion to testify our ap-
probation of his high character and worth.
AS member Of the national House of Rep
resentatives for six years, as a senator of
the United States for thirty-two years, as
Secretary Of the Treasury for four years,
as Secretary of State for two years and as
citizen and patriot, he always maintained
his position with dignity. firmness wisdom
and courage. He was one Of the foremost
statesmen of the country and Of the age
and financier he was recognized as
pre-eminent. not only in this country but
also among the nations Of the earth.
For more than forty years he was
leader in the counsels Of the nation. In
practical. legislative and executive ability,
| and in beneficial results accomplished, he
| naO no superior, anu lew, IL any, equals. he
| has left his impress upon American affairs
| in characters which will never be effaced
| and the people of the United States will en-
| JOY the blessings resulting from his labors
| for centuries to come.
| But to the people of Ohio he bore a
dearer and more tender relation than to the
country at large. He was always devoted
| to the state and to the protection Of the in
terests and honor Of its people, and while
| his death is great and irreparable loss to
the nation. it is to us personal loss as

CHARGES CRUELTY.


A sad tale of alleged cruelty and neglect
is told in the divorce papers filed yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. Jennie A. Thompson
against her husband, Clarence V. Thompson,
painter by trade. AS sequel to the story
of her unhappy married life she declares
herself to be now an object of charity-an
inmate of the Washington Asylum. Mean
while. she declares. her husband is earn
ing good wages, all of his money being
sQuandered
In her petition Mrs. Thompson says she
was married to the defendant December II,
1893, in this city. His treatment of her,
she says, has been cruel and brutal in the
extreme. In August. 1899. they resided at
613 New Jersey avenue, but were put out
of the house for his failure to pay rent.
When they were dispossessed the defendant
went to the. home of his parents, and Mrs.
Thompson. after sending their child to her
mothers home, got position where she
worked for thirteen weeks. Her husband
came to her finally and said he did not
wish her to work and would provide for
her. She then went back to live with him
In rented rooms.
She says there was no change, however.
and Thompson utterly failed to provide for
her and her child, the good wages he earn
ed being squandered at the end of each
week for whisky and other vices" She
was again dispossessed. This recurred five
or six times. because her husband failed to
pay rent.
A few weeks after they were married,
Mrs. Thompson says. her husband choked
her till she turned black in the face be-
cause she wanted to go home and see her
mother. Once. she declares when she took
q bottle OF whisky from him he new into
rage and struck her with piece of porch
railing. knocking her to the floor and bruis-
ing her so she could not walk for two
weeks. Mrs. Thompson alleges that when
her husband was drinking he became wild
and wanted to fight everybody. Christmas
day, 1885, she declares, he got on a big
drunk and had to be arrested and brought
home by two policemen.
Often, Mrs Thompson says, she and her
little five-year-old girl. Mildred, were COM
PEELED TO go for several days at time with
nothing to eat, and several times during
last winter she and the child would have to
stay in bed to keep from freezing for want
Of fuel. Friends and neighbors often gave
her an order to the coal yard for fuel and
the church furnished her and her child coal
and provisions several times, and very
often her mother had to provide for them.
While they were living at 81 Pennsylvania
avenue. last, winter, she declares, they were
dispossessed and the landlord seized all OF
her winter clothes and those Of her child
and held them on account of the nan-pay-
ment of rent. After going through many
hardships and adversities she became Ill
I from exposure, and Is now a sufferer at the
her husband to provide for their child, but
says he still fails to do SO. When he works
he makes $3.50 a day.
- Mrs Thompson is represented by Attor-
ney A. 8. Colyar. Chief Justice Bingham
of the District Supreme Court granted an
order allowing the suit to be filed without
the usual deposit for costs.

1.-THE HEBREW CHARITIES
ANNUAL MEETING HELD AT EIGHTH
STREET TEMPLE.
Annual Reports of President and Sec
retary, Respectively-Board of
Managers Elected.

The United Hebrew Charities held its
annual meeting last evening at the Eighth
Street Temple. President l. L. Blout called
the meeting to order The recording sec
retary, Jacob Strasburger, read his an
nual report. He explained that while the
United Hebrew Charities was sectarian in
name, it never refused worthy applicants
whatever their creed might be. He said
the amount collected during the year was
unprecedentedly small, and had the associa-
ton been obliged to rely on such contri-
buttons its usefulness would long since have
ceased. The total amount received to Oc-
tober II was $2,2do.61, and the amount paid
out up to that date was 81, ,7s1 40, leaving
a balance on hand Of $529.12 The number
OF applicants assisted from November o.
1889. to October l, 1900, was 374.
Mr.. I. L. Blout made his annual report
He spoke of lack of interest in educating
children as one cause OF poverty.
Lack of Schooling.
''The want Of proper schooling and train
ing of children of the poor must be charged
in most instances TO the Indifference and
neglect of their parents and guardians"
said Mr.. Blout. THE convenience and
great value of cur public schools they fail
to recognize and embrace. Their own edu-
cation consisting, as rule, of a limited
knowledge of reading and writing and Of
In the dismal ghettos of tyrannical coun-
tries, they do not. cannot, value the i'm
portance of a proper education. Hence we
must find a remedy for these deplorable
conditions. These children must attend the
public schools. A special committee should
be formed under the immediate supervision
OF the charity association. whose duties
shall consist of visiting the homes of the
poor at least once a week, see that their
children attend school regularly, and that
they are equipped with all necessaries
requisite for a proper appearance, ETC.;
likewise to look to the sanitary and physi-
cal condition of the families themselves,
together with such other duties which the
committee may deem prudent. wise and
practical"
Mr.. BIout suggested that the buryinK of
the homeless abandoned and forlorn dead,
which had been formerly charged to chari-
ties, should be cared for by a separate
burial association.
The following were re-elected to serve as
the board of managers for the ensuing
year: as.-
