SHERMAN BRAVELY
FIGHTING FOR LIFE
Vice-President Critically Ill, But Physician
Hopes for Improvement-Vital Crisis
Is Not Yet at land

During the day there were several
emergency calls from the Sherman
house for the physician. The Vice
President was not in great pain, but
was extremely restless and at times
irrational, both Of which conditions
poison, due to the inaction of the kid
neys.
DR.. Peck makes no effort to minimize
the seriousness Of this condition, but
he is hopeful of being able to stimulate
the kidneys, and. if he succeeds, he
expects a marked improvement In no
event does he expect vital crisis for
n day or two.
There is no effort to conceal the facts
concerning the Vice-Presdents case.
On the contrary, both DIR. Peck and
Mr.. Sherman's family concede its criti-
cal nature. The doctor says, however,
that kidney diseases are of such an
Elusive nature that it is quite impossi-
BILE to foretell the course of any given
case with exaCtness. Mr.. Sherman
robust constitution Is in his favor, but
the fact that he has lost ground steadi-
ly since August weighs against him.
Or. Janeway of New York, and Dr.
Elsner, Of Syracuse, both of whom
have been called into consultation dur
ing the last ten days, confirm Dr.
Peck's diagnosis, leaving no doubt that
the kidneys are the seat OF the malady
and that the heart, the arteries and the
muscles about the heart are all serious
ly involved.

College Park are greatly interested in
experiments being conducted at the

panied the aeroplane in its flight Is
practically eliminated, and the biplane
travels through the air almost silently.

Talking Politics.
SH! THIS is WILSON TOWN
One Hour in New York Satisfies
Buckeye Executive That
It's All Over but the
Shouting.

Governor Judson Harmon Of Ohio as
sumed yesterday the part Of sounder
of political sentiment, and mingled with
business men and policemen and any
other VARIETY of citizen who was will
ing to talk politics in order to get first
hand information as to the situation in
New York City.
Unrecognized by anybody, Governor
Harmon strolled from Bowling Green
to the Fifth Avenue Building, where
the Democratic national headquarters
are buzzing with activity, stopping on
his way. at all the political meetings he
passed and engaging in conversation at
least twoscore Of men of various classes
whom he found willing to talk.
It was an uncomfortable desire to find
out in a direct way how things were
going in this state that prompted him
to the experiment, Governor Harmon
said. He had faint feeling OF being
regarded with increasing suspicion as
he made his way along Broadway and
buttonholed men to get their views on
the political situation, the Governor
said, and particularly strong was this
feeling when he stopped to interview
policemen,
There was some aid offered to him
through the MONDAY meetings that
were in progress just then, Governor
Harmon found, and as he walked up TO
the crowd and listened to the speakers
an opportunity would arise to engage
in talk with some man who appeared
as if he might be willing to discuss po-
litical chances.
Apparently Governor Harmon did not
find much trouble in doing this, and the
twoscore or more interviews which he
had were obtained in the course OF an
hour.
Walking up Broadway the Governor
approached the policemen on duty and
began 10 ldIh WIN sHCh "DONN N'N
prospects of the Democratic nominees.
How he got at the uniformed men and
managed to loosen their tongues the
Governor would not disclose, but he
was proud Of being able to say that he
had talked with many Of them and got
the information he wanted without
having his identity disclosed.

MRS. CLEVELAND TO
WE'D t. J. PRESTON
Widow of Ex-President Announces Engage
ment to Professor at Wells College
Wedding Date Not Fixed

Princeton, n. p, oct. 2s.-Mrs
Grover Cleveland authorizes the an
nouncement of her engagement to
Thomas Jes Preston, professor CT
archaeology and history Of arts at Wells
College The date of the marriage is
not yet determined. but Will be an
nounced later
The announcement of the engage
ment was made tonight by President
John Grier Hibben Of Princeton Uni
versity, who said:
Professor Preston is fifty years OF
age. He is a graduate Of Princeton
and one whom we hold in very high
esteem. AS a young man he began
his university studies at Columbia,
which, however, were interrupted on
account of illness. At that time he
gave up the idea Of completing his
education and went into business, in
which he made very rapid and nota-
BILE success, establishing himself at the
head of very prosperous manufactur-
ing company in Newark. n. J.
After securing a substantial fortune
and feeling keenly that continued busi-
ness success could rot compensate for
his abandoned college career, he de-
termined TO attain a long desired end
which his earlier years had denied him.
Although nearing the age Of forty, he
nevertheless closed his active business
career and went abroad to study for
two years at the Sorbonne. Paris.
Returning to America, he came 10
Princeton for two more years Of addi-
tional study. On account of the wide
range and unusual excellence of his
work both in undergraduate and grad
uate studies, he took at the same COM
mencement not only the degree OF
Lift. b., but the degree OF NJ. A. as
well-a very unique attainment. He
was also elected at that time to the
Princeton chapter Of the Phi Beta
Kappa Society.
Professor Preston was exceedingly
popular and made many friends while
at Princeton. He was subsequently
appointed Fellow Of the American
School Of Classical Study at Rome, and
later won in "A competition open to all
universities Of the United States the
Fellowship Of the Archaeological Insti-
tute OF America. After pursuing his
studies abroad he returned TO Princeton
and took his degree Of Doctor OF Phil,
osophy. He was then called to his
present professorship of Wells College.

James B. Martin and Ken meth Wynne want the job, which pays 8, 800 year.
 One of the matters discussed yes terday was the mileage of the mem bers of the Legislature at the next session. Governor Baldwin, it is said, has told aSenators-elect that they will receive for the entire mileage of the session SIS each or 25 cents a mile for the entire session.
