 nervous breakdown, due to overexer-
 tion in social duties in Washington last winter.
 Mir. Sherman's temperature was high when he was removed from the home of former Governor Myron T. Herrick, where he had been a guest. It was not until Mir. Shermans illness took an acute turn that 1t was decided to take him to Lakeside hospital.
 When he was received at the hospi- tai ex-Governor Herrick telephoned to Mrs. Sherman in Utica. She was greatly agitated and refused to listen to MT. Herrick. who urged her not to attempt to come to Cleveland.
 She insisted on the journey and when she arrived refused to take the least rest, but entered an automobile and went direct to the hospital. On arrival there she collapsed, and 1t was some time before she recovered. Even then she was too weak to walk, and she was carried in a chair to the cot wherekher husband was lying. ...
