'Washington, Oct. 22.—Hon. John Sherman, who for a period of 40 years lias occupied a prominent place in leg islative and administrative affairs of the United States, died here at 6:45 this morning*..of brain exhaustion, aged 78. Death came to the aged suf ferer peacefully, after almost 36 hours of nearly ocmplete unconsciousness. A. number of relatives and friends vTo had assembled in Washington in response to a summons, were at his bedside when the end came. The most devoted among them was Mrs. McCal lum, the adoptad of secre tary and Mrs. Sherman. The funeral aervices over the remains will be held in this oity and the interment will be at Manstleld, 0., the secretary’s old home. The secretary was a large bolder of real estate in this city, having invested extensively from time to time. Con servative estimates of bis wealth place it at $1,000,000. 0 her investments consist of securities, and it is stated that the old family homestead at Mans fl.-ld, 0., remained in hia possession, notwitstanding reports that he dis posed of it prior to bis retnrn to Wash ington last month. Among Mr. Sherman's former asso ciates in the senate, bis demise will be sincerely felt, witbeut reference to party. In this field of activity, bit ser vice bas been particularly able and successful. He bad served so loop that experience added to bit natural talepfV He was tbe recognized master of all great public questions, past and pres ent, and be bad at bit fingers’ ends all tbe facts, figures, and precents to give complete elucidation to a subject. He was regarded as a guide ratber than as a party leader, for bis conservatism, cadUon, innate good judgment, and execution. He in spired confidence in any line of action whieh he advised.

Hit forte was mors in the 000 l analysis of a proposition, ap pealing to the judgment rather than the emotions, and carrying con viotion. He presented the simple facts without any attempt at ornate diction. Asa debater he had few equals and of iato years he seldom entered into daily dis cussion on lesser topics, but reserved his efforts for greater questions. LIFE, John Sherman was born at Lancas ter, 0., May 10, 1823, and, on ac oouot of the death of his parents in 1829, leaving a large family, he was oared for by a coudn in Mount Ver non, where he went to school. His tlrst public service was in the engineer corps, and he was removed because he was a Whig. He studied law, and was admitted to the bur in 1844. In 1848 he was a delegate to the Whig conven tion in Philadelphia, and in 1852, a delegate to the Baltimore convention which nominated Winfield Scott. He was elected to the Thirty-fourth oon- gress Deo. 3, 1855, and was again ra- to tbe Tbirty-iixth congress, antUgain 860, aniVHarch 4,1881, was elected senator. Was also eleoted sen ator in 1867 and 1873. At conclusion lion of Hayes’ administration, was returned to tbe senate, and remained there until be resigned to enter Mc- Kinley’s osbinet. It was only after much pressure that Mr. Sherman consented to leave tbe senate and aooept the place at the bead of the state department which Mr. McKinley pressed upon him. It was apparent even then that Mr. Sberman was failingand that his mem ory, hitherto marvelous, was going back on bim. Six days after tbe war with Spain broke out he resigned tbe portfolio and announced to bis friends that be was done forever witb publio life. Mr. Sherman never folly regained bis bealtb since bis illness in Cuba, after tbe war, and the death of Mrs. Sberman last year materially aged Mr, Sherman, Mr. Thomas £. Gordon, who was gored by a mad bull Saturday, was muob better yesterday. *and there is D o doubt now tbout bis recovery. ERUNSWICK, GA. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23, 1900- non ns mi ——.^n Legislator!

EXCELLENT WORK. Alien Franklin, Tin as Gain’s Pressman, a Good Machinist. . Alieg'’Franklin, the Timks-Ci.!’s efficient.'foreman of the pressroom, did a piece of work yesterday whfob do credit to any flrst-olass ma chinist. The large newspaper press has a thousand pitrts. tfome spte very delicate and some weigh toils, and! to take it down and put it In position again, heretofore, has required two or three days, but the press was removed by Franklin in less than ten hours, up and ready for printing. When tbe printing office was re moved from the Kaiser building acme years ago, a lirst-class machinist was employed, and be said thejßb re quired at least twelve assistants, and with this large force, it took three days lo do the same work Franklin did in one, and tbe latter had a tnnch smaller foroe of helpers. Alien Franklin is one of our b-et known colored citizens. He has been at the bead of tbe press department of this paper for a number of years, and be can always be depended upon.

Tbe Riflemen always are treated royally wherever they go, and Colum bus will be found as hospitable as any eity in tbe conntry. Taking up the full dinner pail Mr. Bryan attacked the theory that a well supplied table could meet all the de mands of the working people. Referr ing to Oovernor Roosevelt's recent visit he said. “I understand you had a parade here and that a man was carrying a bucket In the parade, and someone asked him if the pail was full. lie said, ‘No, it is empty, ami 1 paid twice as much as it Is worth.’ You will .find lots of men ' -e who have the same v *complalnt.” FIGHTING JOE WHEELER'S BIG OVATION IN ATLANTA Oil farrisr Tells tie Mall le Ufa Danaerau 1 - J U Bfol*kXO>.
