Aged General Sherman, seated with friends at a Pittsburg country house, refused to discuss the rebel flag episode or the Philadelphia insult to Ohio troops, saying explanations should come from those involved and he would not be drawn into controversy. The note then shifts to fashion and regional notes. Mrs Cleveland’s Veiled Prophet ball gown in St. Louis is described in detail, while the Ifuron Times cites Auditor Ward’s action against undercapitalized insurers, and the Bismarck Tribune reports Mitchell fair’s success with no fakirs allowed.
