CARLISLE IS DEAD
Former Secretary of United
States Treasury Succumbs
to Heart Failure.
IN MANY PUBLIC OFFICES
His Services to Native State of Ken
lucky and Nation Command
Attention Of Country.

New York, Aug. John G. Carlisle,
former secretary of the treasury, who
had been critically i'll for two days,
died at his apartments in New York at
10: so o'clock last night of heart failure,
accompanied by oedema of the lungs.
John Griffin Carlisle was born in
Campbell county, Kentucky, Sept. 5,
1885. In his early life he was COM
PEELED to work hard for a living, and
his education was mostly attained In
the unpropitious atmosphere of dis
trict country school, an opportunity az
forded. He was a hard student, and
before he had attained his majority he
was earning his living by teaching
school. He employed his leisure hours
In reading law, and little by little quail
flied himself for the bar, to which he
was admitted in 1858, when only %
years of age, after a term in a dingy
law Office.
His Rise in Politics.
In 1859 he was elected a member of
the Kentucky house of representatives.
During the secession movement he in
clined to the northern side and was a
firm believer in the union. In 1854 he
was nominated as presidential cleo
tor on the democratic ticket, but he
declined the honor. In 1866 he was
elected to the senate of his native
state, and again in 1869. He was pres
ent as delegate at large from Kentucky
at the national democratic convention
held in New York city in 1868.
His nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor of Kentucky in 1871 by the
democratic convention caused him to
resign his seat in the state senate,
and, being elected, he served from
1871 to 1875 in that position. He
was chosen a democratic elector at
large for Kentucky in 1876. Chosen
to represent the famous Covington
district in congress, he proved well
informed and diligent member,
skilled debater and an excellent ora
tor. After an exciting canvass he
was elected speaker of the 49th con-
gress over Samuel ]. Randall.
After the death of Senator Beck,
Kentucky elected CarIise as his sue
i-cesseF-ia-tae federef senate. In $50 3
he accepted the treasury portfolio Of
fered by Mr.. Cleveland.
Refuses to Try for Presidency.
Early in 1856 a movement was
started to boom Carlisle for the dem
ocratic presidential nomination, but
he declined to enter the race.
Mr.. Carlisle took up the practice
of law in New York. In 1902 he at
tackled fiercely the insular policy of
the republican administration in a
speech before the American Bar asso-
citation.
Mr.. Carlisle married Mary Jane
Goodson, who predeceased him. They
had two sons, L. Logan Carlisle and
William Kinkaid Carlisle, both of
whom are dead. Mr.. Carlisle is sur
vived by three grandchildren, John
G. Carlisle of this city, Jane Carlisle,
now Mrs. Frederick L. Allen of New
York, and Laura Carlisle, now Mrs.
Louis Sherman Pitkin of New Haven.
New York, Aug. 1.-The funeral
of the late John G. Carlisle will be
held in Washington Wednesday after
noon. The body will be taken to-
morrow to Washington. Burial will
probably be at Covington, KY.
