The city of Utica, n. Y, is deeply
mourning the death of Vice President
James Schoolcraft Sherman. Mr..
Sherman's death occurred at GAP
O'Clock Wednesday night at the
family residence of Brights disease,
complicated with disease of the heart
and hardening of the arteries, follow
ing a period of more than twenty
four hours of almost total uncon-
seriousness.
All city flags were lowered to half
mast at the beginning of the day, aud
by every other possible way the vice
presidents home city indicated its
grief over his demise. Mr.. Sherman
was a prominent factor in many bust
ness enterprises in the city, and the
offices of such concerns were closed
for the day.
The funeral took place at 2 o'clock
p. m. Saturday, and was simple rather
than pretentious. President Taft,
members of the cabinet and many
congressman and other dignataries
dII0uuRu lie y.
DR.. F. H. Peck issued this state
ment concerning the last moments of
the vice president:
1.-THE vice president died at 9:42
consciousness. His end was perfect
ly quiet. He died in the presence of
his wife, her brother and sister, his
two brothers and his three sons and
their wives. He had been perfectly
unconscious since early in the morn
ing, when he hao period of partial
consciousness for about fifteen min
utes. He died in an uraemic coma
as the result of Bright's disease,
heart disease and arterio sclerosis."
The vice president was able to say
a few words to his wife and DR.. Peck
during lucid moments Wednesday
morning, but never spoke thereafter.
Mrs. Sherman is in state of near col
lapse as a result of her husbands end
and DR.. Peck is ministering to her,
while her three sons, Sheriff. Rich
ard and Thomas, are seeking to COM
fort the grief-stricken woman.
Sorrow in Washington.
News of the death of Sherman was
received in Washington with express
sions of profound sorrow. He had a
very large circle of close personal
friends, for he had been so long as
sociated with official and social life
of the capital.
Mr.. Sherman enjoyed life at the
capital. He was fond of company
and was constantly in demand at So
cial gatherings. His friendships in
cluded men of all classes from the Sc
Iect few who mingled with him at the
Metropolitan and Chevy Chase clubs
to the messengers and employees 3
the capital He seemed equally at
home in any company in which he
found himself AS vice president he
shattered many traditions associated
with that office. His predecessor had
always appeared in a frock coat and
observed great dignity and formality
in the chair. Mr.. Sherman usually
wore business suit and took his @.
fetal responsibilities without very
much seriousness.
The name of John Wanamaker is
said to be under consideration as the
successor on the presidential ticket
in place of Mr. Sherman as nominee
for vice president. Many leading Re-
publicans believe Mr.. Wanamaker, be-
ing an eastern man, is the logical
choice for the place.

KEEPS HENS AT THEIR WORN
Simple Continuance used by Western
Man Cures Them OF Desire

Owners Of hens are frequently
greatly annoyed by the persistent de-
sire Of their fowls to set, in seeson
and out, on eggs, stones or other OBJ
jects to hand. But western man has
evolved a plan to circumvent the hen
In this respect.
The cure consists of a cheap watch,
with loud and clear tick, inclosed in
a case that Is white and shaped like
an egg. When one OF the hens be-
longing to this westerner manifests a
desire to set out Of season he gently
places the bogus egg under her skol-
teTfng breast The egg" ticks cheer.
fully away, and soon the hen begins to
evince signs Of uneasiness and stirs
the noisy egg around with her bill,
thinking, no doubt, that 1t is already
time for It to hatch. She becomes
more and more uneasy as the noise
continues, and soon Jumps OF the nest
and runs about while to cool of.
Boon, however, she returns to her self
imposed task. Matters get worse and
worse; she wiggles about and cackles,
rlffies her feathers and generally
shows Distress. Finally, with n, wild
squawk, she abandons the nest for
good and all, and the incubating fever
Is broken completely.
The westerner has found use for
half dozen Of these noisy eggs. and
he claims that they pay for themselves
again and again during the year by
holding the hens to their business OF
laying and preventing them from vast.

PLANS. FOR |: ALASKA
RAILROAD Bull DING

The full industrial development
of inland Alaska is possible only
by constructing RAILWAYS that will
furnish transportation to open
ports on the Pacific. Though
Alaskans have long been clamoring
for. adequate transportation
factlties, general public outside of
the territory has only recently
begun to understand that the
opening of the mineral wealth and
arabic lands of this great empire is
matter of national Importance.
Many plans have been proposed for
building railways in Alaska either
by private enterprise, and various
dealing with this subject.
Because of the general interest
in this situation, a report issued
by the United States Geological
Survey entitled Railway Routes in
Alaska" (Bulletin 52-A), has just
been reprinted. This sport
briefly summarizes all The data
available bearing on the location
Of a railway which shall connect
Fairbanks, on the Tanana, with
one of the several possible coastal
terminals on the Pacific sesboard.
The distance to tide water by the
several routes varies from $50
to over 900 miles. Experienced
engineers have estimated the
average cost per mile of construct
ing this line at $4,000.
ANY one of these several propos-
ed railways described in this report
would render Access ible the great
resources Of what has been termed
central Alaska, a quadrangular
area of about 900. 900 square miles
extending from the, Pacific sea-
board to the Arctic Circle.
Central Alaska has produced from
It's placers gold to the value of
SIS. 100000, it's output in 1911
being over 100000. It includes
several auriferous lode districts
and two important copy er belts.
One of these copper belts has been
rendered accessible by a railway
!some 200 miles long extending in
land from Cordova. Central fields
of the Boring river and Manatuska
fields, as well as very extensive
deposits of lignitic coal. In add.
tion to it's mineral wealth, which
will justify railways, this part of
Alaska contains much valuable
agricultural and grazing land.
& This publication not only
summarizes data on topography
and mineral resources but also
touches on climatic conditions,
distribution of population and
arabic lands etc. 1t is illustrated
by a carefully prepared map
showing the distribution Of mineral
TelO1rces Of Alaska. A liot OF
government publications relating
to railwsy routes In Alaska is
appended. I'he same bulletin
