Gen. Sherman became of New York in 1896, says the New York Frilune, and from that time on was «central figure in the social side of the public life of the metropolis. Apart from his military fame, his personal gifts, which made him one of the most charming of men, gathered around hin with homage repre- sentatives of the learning, the commercial en- | terprise and the best society of the city. Gen. Sherman came to New York with an enthusi- asm for it which he constantly exprested in his replies to the courtesies extended to him and in the many courtesics which he in turn Chauncey M. Depew called him “nt once the most distinguished and deligh:‘ul figure in our metzopolitan society.” Mr. Depew indicated the key of the general's popularity when he added, “He loved to be in the company of men and women,and he was easily, atany table, at the head wherever he sat, and had a wondex- ful faculty for entertaining conversation.” For the first two years of hislife in New York Gen. Sherman was a guest of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. When he wentthere he told his friends { the Loyal Legion that he had ‘finally got into winter quarters in New York, finding good grass and water at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.” fuere he gathered as many members of his mily nround him as could be with him—his wife, his two unmarried daughters, the Misses Lizzie and Rachei Sherman, and his son, P.
