o'clock today the people Of Utica will
be given an opportunity to make an
outward manifestation Of their love
for their late fellow townsman. Vice
President Sherman.
Arrangements have been made to
have the body lie in state at the
county court house today from
o'clock until o'clock this evening
to afford an opportunity to those en-
gagged in business to participate In
showing their respect and affection
The body has been placed in heavy
mahogany casket and was removed
from the Sherman home at $3.50 this
afternoon. There was an honorary es-
cort to the court house. while the
procession was protected from intru'
sion by two companies Of the national
guard.
The public generally was invited to
accompany the procession. At
o'clock the body OF the vice president

dence. there to rest for the last night
After a brief service of prayer at l
o'clock tomorrow in which only mem
bers of the family will participate. the
body will be taken to the First Pres
byterian church and thence to the
cemetery.
The casket will be placed in crypt
in the Mausoleum recently erected by
Mrs Sherman's family in Forest Hill
cemetery. The tomb was first opened
for occupancy less than month age
when the body of Mrs .Sherman's
mother was placed In one or the
crypts.
Messages of coincidence continue
to pour in from all parts of the world.
The list of names of those received
yesterday fills almost two columns In
the morning paper.
The bells began to toll at an early
hour today. In every possible way,
indeed, the people Of the vice presi-
dents home city are showing their
sense Of loss
1t was first announced that the OBJ;
seautes would be held In Christ
church, Of which Mr.. Sherman was a
member, but as this edif1ce seats only
about 700 persons and it was realized
1t would. he too small to hold the
throng that would desire to pay a
final tribute of respect to the dead.
the plans were changed when the
Rev. Ralph w .Brokaw offered the
use Of the Presbyterian church. which
has a seating capacity Of more than
5000. The Rev. Louis H. Holden. Mr..
Sherman's pastor. will conduct the fu-
neral service. assisted by the Rev. NJ.
w. Stryker. president of Hamilton
college, and the Rev. Dr. Brokaw,
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
Seats in the church will he set apart
for the Sherman family. President
Taft and other dignitaries. who are
expected. as we'll as for the business
associates and intimate friends Of the
Q~k ton <kan
church will be by ticket, as the au-
ditorium will he liopelessly inadequate
to hold the many who wish to at
tend.
At the close of the services the body
will be taken to Forest Hill cemetery,
where 1t will be placed in the beauti-
full Babcock mausoleum, which was
completed but recently and where
Mrs Sherman's mother rests.
Mr.. Sherman's body is said to show
but few traces Of the long illness
through which the vice president
passed.
Flowers in profusion are in the
room where the body lies and there
has been an almost uninterrupted
procession of messengers to the house
during the day bearing messages of
sympathy to the bereaved household
from every quarter of the country and
from abroad.
Mrs. Sherman Is bearing her loss
with fortitude. She was kneeling at
the bedside of her husband when the
final summons came and remained in
the room the greater part of last
night. Before he died MIR. Sherman
had entrusted to his wife a list of
those who he wished to act as hon
orary pallbearers at his funeral. Who
thew are has not vet been announced
The active pallbearers will be select
cd from the employees of the Utica
Trust and Deposit company, of which
Mr.. Sherman was president.
