A Proclamation.

EFOc1a Ihat1Ons
To the people of the United States: In
the tullness of years and honors, John
Sherman, lately secretary of state, has
peSSed away.
Few among our citizens have risen to
greater or more deserved eminence in the
his public life and services is, as it were,
the history of the country for half a CEN
fury.
III the congress of the United States he
and later in the senate. He was twice a
member of the executive cabinet, first as
secretary of the treasury and afterwards
as secretary of state. Whether in debate
or as the director of the country's
finances during the period of ~rehabilita-
ton, or as a trusted councillor in franz
ing the nations laws, for over forty
policy, his course was ever. marked by
devotion to the best interests of his be-
loved land, and by able and conscien-
tious effort to uphold its dignity and
his memory aud see in him a type of the
patriotism, the uprightness and the zeal
that go to moulding and strengthening a
nation.
In fitting expression of the sense of be-
reavement that afflicted the republic, I
direct that, on the day of the funeral, the
executive offices of the United States dis
play the national flag at half-mast, and
States in foreign countries shall pay, in
like n appropriate tribute to the
ilIustrious dead for a period of ten days.

The Worlds Fair Amendments.

The indications are that state con-
stitutional amendments 4 and 5, relat-
ing to the Worlds fair, to be held
IN st. Louis in 1908, will be passed by
a very large majority. Neither OF
these amendments will impose any
burden upon the state taxpayer.
Amendment No 4, as already ex-
planned, simply authorizes the city of
ST. Louis to sell bonds to the extent
of $5,000,O00 in aid of the fair.
Amendment No. 5 authorizes the leg
islature to appropriate a sum not ex-
ceeding one million dollars from the
debt and interest sinking fund for
a first-class Missouri exhibit. This ap-
preparation will not come from rev.
enue, but from the sinking fund, in
which there is a handsome surplus,
and hence there will be no increase in
taxation. 1t is argued that the in
crease in taxable values in St. Louis
and elsewhere in the state will make
the investment of a million dollars 4
very profitable one. The state central
committees of both political parties
have Endorsed the fair project and the
amendments, and speakers through
out the state are recommending their
hearers to make the Worlds fair pos
sible by erasing the word mo" after
Amendments 4 and 5 on the ballot.

Had Been Failing Fof a Year.
Mr.. Sherman had not been in robust
health for considerably over a year.
In March, 1899, while on a pleasure
trip to the French and Spanish West
Indies, in company with a relative,
Mr.. Frank Wiborg, he suffered a Sc
we're attack of pneumonia, which al
most proved fatal. The ship on which
they were travelling touched at San
tiago, from which place reports came
to the United States that the we'll
known statesman had succumbed to
the disease. He rallied, however, and
the family accepted the offer of the
United States government to bring
him back to the United States on the
cruiser Chicago, then in the vicinity
of Santiago, and he was safely landed
at Fort Monroe and brought to his
home in this city. Here he gained
strength, and was strong enough by
summer time to visit his home in
Ohio.
His Remarkable Vitality.
His remarkable vitality brought
him through a relapse which he suf-
fered during the heated term, and by
autumn he had again regained much
of his strength, and seemed to be in
good spirits. He spent last winter at
his home in this city, enjoying fairly
good health, occasionally going out
to social affairs and attending the
theater with the members of his fam
lily. The family left here early in the
summer for the old homestead at
Mansfield, o.
When Mrs. Sherman Died.
They were there but a short time
when Mrs. Sherman, whose health
had been very frail, died. This was a
severe blow to the secretary, from
which he never fully recovered. He re-
manned at Mansfield until the middle
of September, when he returned to
Washington. He was very much brok-
en- in health and spirits, but for a
time he was able to move about in the
open air and to take short rides
around the city. For the past three
weeks or more, however, he had been
confined to his bed, his general de-
bility being aggravated by an irritat-
ing bronchial cough that fastened
the end.
