A new method has been discovered
whereby balloonists may communicate
while at an altitude of over 5000 feet
with those on the ground. The meth
Cd consists of huge drum placed some
50 feet below the ear which is beaten
by electricity. The dots and dashes
of the Morse telegraphic code have
been adopted with complete success.
This will prove a great advantage in
warfare. Hitherto balloonists have
been limited to an ascension of !, 900 to
1900 feet on account of their telegraph
ic wires, and have thus been unable to
escape the range of fire.

The statesman.s Career.

John Sherman was rs years of age. he
was born at Lancaster. o., and when he
was six years of age his father died. In
the spring of 1887 he set out to do some
thing for himself, and obtained the posi-
ton of junior rodman with the engineer
corps working on the improvements of
the Musginkum river. When 19 he went
to Mansfield to study law with brother.
He was prepared for practice before he
was p and practjced law actively until
he was elected to congress in 1854.
Sherman and Colfax happened to enter
public life together. They were both dele
gates to the national convention in Phila-
delphia, which nominated Zachary Tay-
lor in 1S4S. During that summer Mr.. Sher-
man was married to Miss Cecilia Stewart,
tho only daughter of Judge Stewart, of
Mansfield. He was president of the first
republican state convention held in Ohio,
which met in 1855 and nominated S. p.
Chase for governor.
MIR. Sherman took his seat in the Thir-
ty-fourth congress six years before the
war In the Thirty-fifth congress he made
number of able speeches and became
much interested in the finances of the
country. He was elected to the United
States senate in 1861 to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Chase.
Mr. Sherman can almost be called the
author and the founder of the financial
policy of the republican party. President
Hayes made Mr.. Sherman his secretary
of the treasury because he knew him to
be the foremost financier of the age.
Returning to the senate on the close of
his term in President Hayes cabinet, Mr.
Sherman took up the work of active legis-
lation again, and for 16 years more was
one of the leaders of the body in which
he had previously spent other 16 years of
usefulness.
Mr.. Sherman again resigned from the
senate in March, 1897, to accept the most
important position in the gift of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the secretaryship of state,
from which he retired in April 1898

the announcement of Mr.. Shermans
death Monday morning had been re-

Sunday night. The president was
greatly affected by the news. He i'm
mediately directed that the white

DEATH OF HON. JOHN SHERMAN
By the President of the United States of
America.
"A ProcIamation-To the People of the
United States: In the fullness of years and
honors, John Sherman, lately secretary OF
state, has passed away.
Few among our citizens have risen to
greater or more deserved eminence In the
national councils than he. The story OF ms
public life and services is as III were tHe
history of the country for half century.
In the congress of the United States he
ranked among the foremost in the house
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
during the dark hours of our civil war, or
as the director of the country's finances
during the period of rehabilitation, or as
trusted councillor in framing the ma
tons law for over 40 years, or as the ex-
ponent of its foreign policy, his course was
ever marked by devotion to the best inter-
ests of his beloved land, and by able and
conscientious effort to uphold its dignity
and honor. His countrymen Will long re-
we're his memory and see in HIM type
of the patriotism, the uprightness and the
zeal that go TO molding and strengthening
a nation.
I'm fitting expression of the sense of be-
reayement that affiicts the republic, d.
rect that on the day of the funeral the
executive offices of the United States dis
play the national flag at half-mast and
that the representatives of the United
States in foreign countries shall pay IN
like manner appropriate tribute to the
illustrious dead for period of ten days.
Done at the city of Washington this
tWenty-second day of October in the year
of our Lord one thousand and nine nun
