Co. oo28, FAMOUS ILLINOIS TAVERN. "Where Lincoln, When a Circuit Riding Lawyer, Swapped Stories. Urbana Correspondence St. Loals Globe-Democrat.

With the demolition of the old Kelley tavern, torn down last week to make room for a barn, there passed one of the famous old hostelries of Illinois. Built in 1839, the old tavern herfl.me sfnnnlnc nf nil rrum mc new E.nsmuu It is hard to realize now what the Advertiser was in those days to this community; If the Herald of today were to combine with Its efficiency as a news gatherer and Its importance as the organ of public opinion the refinement of the Transcript, It might revive the dignity of journalism and hold the place in public esteem Illustrated at that time by the KAAR uau uctu utc uioi aiiu there was no other dally worth mentioning In the mind of the good Bostonian. Of the broad and long "blanket-sheet" form, It was printed on flne paper in Irreproachable ideal of a handsome printed page. Its make-up was steady, the same In Its general features from day to day. One knew Just what to expect In every part of the paper.

The Washington special occupied the post of honor on the first page? a leaded half column or so, of really important interpretation by a competent and authoritative writer, of the main event or topic of the moment. There was no mere maw of spinnings of reporters' stuff to make an appearance of Importance by dint of quantity; quality was what commended it to the finest class of Boston readers. Industrial Education. From the New Ensland Magazine. In a city like Boston, for example.

Is there any reason why there should not be erected in the congested district industrial schools which shall be open to the youths who must soon close their school career? Here instruction can be given in the industrial arts. These buildings might be useu in uuvnmuuu uy classes, uie children also continuing their membership In other "regular" schools. Such buildings could be occupied from 0 o'clock in the morning until o'clock In the evening, the classes succeeding one another according to schedule and the equipment being in constant use. Here boys and girls alike may be actively employed In genuine tasks? which prepare the way for active participation in some paying industry, when their school days are over. plons frequently told sjlpries almost all night, Lincoln sitting ffSan immense armchair, with wide rockers and a buffalo robe cushion, known to the household as "Abe's chair." The old chair is still in the possession of the Kelley family, one of its most cherished heirlooms.

During the latter days of his circuit riding and while traveling from town to town on hia campaigning tours, the visits of Mr. Lincoln became famous for impromptu political gatherings. Often Lincoln would sit for hours in the barroom of the tavern, expounding his views to the crowds assembled to hear him. Mr. Kelley frequently asserted that Lincoln was one of the few guests of the place who never patronized the bar.

This was rare, for "good" whisky, brought from the Wabash country by an itinerant preacner, sola over the Dar for 37V4 cents a gallon, and practically every man, including the ministers and school teachers, "took his dram." The old tavern played an important part in the social life of the community. Here during th6 winter months assembled all the young people for miles around to dance and enjoy themselves. It the yard were held the turkey shoots on Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the pioneers assembled to prove their wonderful skill with their old muzzle loading firearms. Whisky on these occasions flowed freely, and some famous fights have occurred about the old building, but for the most part the early settler was good natured, even in his cups, and no seflous damage was done in these encounters. With the coming of the railroads and the passing of a stage coach the old tavern suffered a lamentable falling off in business, and after a precarious existence It was closed and the building became the home of a tenant farmer.

Later it was used for the storage of grain and farm Implements. Falling Into decay, it has at last been torn down, after an existence of seventy-five years, many of its timbers going into the new barn. An Old-Time Dally. west bound travelers. It being the only hotel between Danville and Urbana on the state road.

For years it enjoyed great popularity, especially during its ownership by Joseph Kelley, who operated it from 1840 until 1804. During the '50s it was the regular stopping place of the old time circuit riding lawyers, among whom were Abraham Lincoln and Judge David Davis. Both Lincoln and Davis were warm friends of Kelley, whose ready wit and great fund of stories made him a favorite with both men. Kelley was a great story teller, and during the months intervening between the April and September terms of court he searched assiduously for "new stories to tell Abe." When Lincoln and the retinue of circuit riding lawyers and judge arrived Kelley was In his glory. Out on the long porch of the hotel or before the immense fireplace he and Lincoln would sit for hours "swapping stories" to the delight of the other lawyers.

Often Lincoln's coming, being heralded about the surrounding country, drew scores of farmers to the hotel, and not infrequently residents of Urbana drove down to enjoy the contest between the two great story tellers. However well equipped with new material was Mr. Kelley he always found himself vanquished by Mr. Lincoln, whose fund of anecdotes seemed Inexhaustible.

VIMfcMIMI it FRIENDLY TO AMERICANS Missionaries, Physicians Received In. timately at the Palace. AsiAJsitisiuaj A AHUM AL UANJS. Period Always to Be Bemembered by the Inauguration of a Legislative Assembly. With the death of Muzafar-e-Deen Shah will terminate the fifth reign of the Khajar dynasty of Persia.

It began with the decisive triumph of its founder, Aga Mohammed Khan, In 1704, over all rivals and claimants. Five reigns In that period, or an average of twenty-two years, speaks well for the stability of the After deducting the horrors which have been too often atte.ndant on oriental government, the fact remains that the monarchs of this dynasty have been about on a level with what the life and character of the nation were accustomed to accept with quite as much satisfaction as sovereigns generally receive in other lands, with different. If not better, forms of civilization. A government nvust be judged by environment. There is more or less discontent everywhere at all times, and each nation is accustomed to weigh and condemn the others by its own standards.

Authority in Persia has been exercised, as elsewhere, according to existing conditions. There is this to be said aoout the exercise of power In despotic countries, that r. I I '-C? THE SHAH It falls more heavily on the great than on the humble. It Is they wao are nearest the throne, and who thus have the most observation and Jealousy of the sovereign, who are subject to swift changes of fortune or oiiHnn nnd nrupl apvorUv Tho rlolra ara proportioned to the rewards. The obscure, under such rule, proceed with uneventful course "along the cool, sequestered vale ot life." To us, In our western opulence, they may seem ground to the dust with their trifling wage.

But all such matters depend on the differing cost of living and the difference in the purchasing power of money. All things are relative. Pure Turkish Stock. It is a significant fact that the Khajar dynasty Is not of Persian but of pure Turkish stock. The dynasty w)iich It supplanted was, like most of Persia's royal families, of Zend or Indo-European or Sanscrit origin.

Kerlm Kahn and his heroic a -wr-x a.i? i iv. ncpaew, ai? jviiu.ii, uib iclsl ul iua Zends, were among the noblest characters in Persian history. In the north of Persia were some Turkish semi-nomadlc tribes, who had migrated several centuries earlier from the Tartar wastes. One of these tribes was settled near the Caspian. Of the five clans of this tribe the one called Asaka or Tavanlu, assumed the ascendency.

and finally their head chief became head ow the army of Persia. His grandson, Agha Mohammed was atrociously mutilated by the then reigning shah. Eventually he escaped to his father and lived to become a scourge to his foes, the founder of a dynasty, a monster of vindictive fury, and at the same time a protector of Persia against her enemies. If he had lived he might have saved her from the steady affronts, treacheries and aggressions of Russia. Monster as he was, he was a soldier and statesman of no mean poorer, and had the requisites to meet Russia on her chosen fields of effort, to wit.

courage based on unlimited stores of bluff and fraud. In 1781 a Russian admiral sailed with a fleet from Astrakhan to Astrabad, on the Persian coast of the Caspian. Agha Mohammed Khan was In the vicinity, and the Russian asked permission to plant a counting house, of all things, on the solitary Persian shores. The Khajlr, having no fleet, decided on fighting with Russian weapons. Therefore he yleldeu apparent asquiescence to the admiral's request.

Strange to say, when the counting house was finished It proved to be a strong fort with eighteen guns. Agha Mohammed pretended to admire the work, and invited the admiral and his officers to dine with him at a chleflik or hunting seat in the mountains. There he threw them In irons and gave them the choice of suffering a cruel death or raxing the fort. The ad mlral decided that It was expedient to sign an order to wipe the fort out of existence. This Job completed, Agha Mohammed caused them to be whipped back to tho ships with abuse galore.

Naturally, having no offspring Mohammed Khan was succeeded by his nephew. Feth Alee Shah, who. In disposition was quite the reverse of his uncle. He knew little of war, and was stripped of considerable territory by Russia. But he was of amiable character, fond of poetry, amorous as King Solomon, aRd noted for a magnificent beard that reached below his waist.

Domestic Felicities. There is a neglected old garden and palace still standing in the outskirts of Teheran called Negarlstan. There Feth Alee Shah would sometimes resort of a pleasant afternoon to disport himself with his wives. One of the peculiar features of this place of domestic entertainment was a subterranean hall with playing fountains and spacious tanks. Above was a gallery, splendidly tfled, leading to a slide of polished marble.

The ladies, one by one, would speed along the gallery and slip down the slide into the arms of their royal spouse, amid peals of mirth within and the melting trills of the bulbuls in the scented groves. It is not without mingled sentiments that one now lingers about the forsaken and crumbling halls of Negaristan. 'I'hfl A a ovvuc mvirei wro lesque story, "Hadji Baba," the "Gil Bias' of Persia, was laid in the reigh of Feth Alee Shah. That monarch was succeeded by his son, Mohammed Shah, a respectable sovereign of moderate ability; not a bad man, as sovereigns go. and according to bis lights.

If the monarchy lost somewhat In power from being watched along the northern frontiers, on the other hand the gradual increase of foreign intercourse tended to develop the mental purview of the people and prepare them to receive and follow the patriotic and progressive example of his son and successor, Nasr-e-Deen Shah, who is remembered for his numerous journeyings, his genial disposition, his yearning for mod ci ii yrugiess, ins aim uuiuauuj and his tragic fate. When the difficulties he had to encounter are considered, the environment in which he lived, the constant attempts at home and abroad to thwart his aims, and the dignified afTability of his disposition. it must be admitted that Nasr-eDeen Shah, the fourth of the Khajar dynasty of Persia. Was entitled to rank with the greatest of those who have been born to command men and rule kingdoms. The absurd stories that were told about his journeyings to Europe were nine-tenths of them pure lies, fabricated in Paris and St.

Petersburg, to block whatever political plans he may have had or was supposed to have to increase alliances and friendships at foreign courts that might inure to the benefit of his people and throne. 11 was during the reign of Shah that Russia proceeded so far in her attempts on the Persian frontier as to force even Mr. Gladstone to arouse from nis lethargy as to rore.gn policies ana taice steps which have since then been pressed with sufficient vigor to reduce for the time open or secret encroachments of Russia, and it may be said that from that date the integrity of Persia has been greatly strengthened by the growing importanreof that nation as a buffer state between the ambition of Russia, the com-" merclal yearnings of Germany and the necessities of Great Britain for maintaining her dominion in India. Rise of Babism. It "was also in the reign of Nasr-e-Deen Shah that Babism arose in Persia.

The founder, ostensibly a mystic born in Shlraz, 1' "4 OF PERSIA. called himself the Bab, I.e., the gate, which may mean the gate to any purpose, open or concealed. Openly he gave out that he was the gate to divine wisdom. His present successor calls himself an emanation ui uuu, iiic ucna uuaii ui Allah, which sounds more mystical to the outer world of wrapt devotees. In point of fact, however, Bablsm as an association was originally founded to promote socialism and political changes.

Such associations have sprung up from time to time In Persia, the Persians being an active and naturally a restless-minded, mercurial people, quite the reverse of the Turanian or Turkish races. The most tremendous rising of this sort was started by Mazdak during the Sassanlan dynasty, and was crushed only by a tremendous slaughter, commanded by Anoorshirvun. A. D. 580.

The Babs created a terrible revolt In the early part of the relgn of Nasr-e-Deen Shah, which was put down only after a very serious struggle. One fanatic succeeded In wounding him at that crisis, and still another of this remarkable sect did at last, in 1806. murder thte wise and good sovereign. Since these events the Babis have had to move rather secretly in Persia. but they have by no means abandoned their designs.

It ma? be added that the word Babl or Babee means of the Bab, me iinai possessive meaning of; thus Babi means the Bab of. Seclusion of the Heir. Nasr-e-Deen Shall was succeeded by i-uzafar-e-Deeo. the valyadt or and prlnee cover nor of Azerbaijan. It Is the custom in Persia for the heir apparent to be appointed with this title, to the northwestern province of Persia, called Azerbaijan Quarter where Zoroaster was born.

There the valyahedt lives until a vacancy on the throne calls him from his quasi-secluslon. I say seclusion because he Is not permitted to leave his government or visit the capital until from governor he becomes king. They who understand the peculiar conditions of oriental governments and of the succession can see the reasons for this strict regulation. But it cannot be claimed to enlarge the experience and executive intelllgnce of an heir apparent If he has to wait many years tfl rpnnh tho thmno Muzafar-c-Deen was not the oldest of his father's sons. There were three brothers, but in most oriental governments It Is not necessarily the eldest son who has the prior light to be heir apparent; but the sovereign can, for reasons of his own, select hlB sucessor from his descendants.

Now the Zeli Sultan, the oldest son of Nasr-e-Deen Shah, is a very able, ambitious, but severe man. Ho would have made a very strong and with a vigorous policy opposed to Russia. But on his mother's side he was not of Khajar blood. Muxafax-e-Deeiv- on the other hand, was of direct Khajar descent on both sides. It was feared, and by some expected, that war between the brothers might be likely ever the succession.

This has been the cause of thirds of the wars that have destroyed oriental dynasties and nations. But probably Russian and English influence was exerted to prevent agitation and bloodshed on this occasion. Inspired Respect. Muzafar-e-Deen was a man of excellent disposition, and by no means lacking in Intelligence. In manner he was quiet and bore himself with a dignity that Inspired respect.

If he was not so active and persistent in urging reform and importing European Inventions and Institutions for the betterment of his people as his illustrious father. It was not for lack of ap- proval, but rather aa a metter of temperament He was ready to accept new ideas and them the royal sanction so long as they did not threaten law and or- 1 der. He enlarged Ills views by several visits to Europe. Musafar-e-Deen liked Americans and was very friendly to our missionaries. He did them manv a irood turn their diffl- 1 cuttles and the opposition they met in their work came under his notice.

He was on the friendliest terms with our missionary physicians, of whom Dr. Holmes was particularly liked and received at the government palace as an honored friend. I shall not soon forget an incident that clearly indicated this union of the qualities of a prince and a friend. The time of the great annual mourning for the martyrdom of the grandsons of the prophet Mohammed was approaching, called the Moharrem. It Is a very solemn month for all who believe in the sanctity of that event, 1 and hence are called Sheahs.

AH the Persians are Sheahs and all the Turks are Sunnees. It Is not worth while to discuss these sectarian creeds here. Suffice to say mai uurinft me monm or monarrem ianai- lclsm reaches an extreme limit in Persia. The Persians being highly excitable, Christians keep out of their way in Mo- harrem. and carefully mind their own busi- ness.

On the occasion to which I have ai- luded the fanatical excitement was un- usually strong, as it was throughout the 1 Mohammedan world, because of the mas- 1 sacre of Gen. Hicks arta his army in the Soudan, and the great progress of the 1 Mahdi. Owing to this excitement the members of the diplomatic corps at Teheran considered the situation as serious, and that European residents should be warned, as a spark might start an explosion, and th? foreigners, and perhaps native Christians, in Persia be massacred throughout the land. The American- missionaries in Per- sla were so in their work that they seemed entirely oblivious of the agitation about them. Azerbaijan, and especially Tabreez, Its capital, were the very hotbeds of Persian fanaticism, and yet the missionaries went on quietly admitting Mohammedan children to their schools, contrary to conventions and treaties.

Jews, Armenians, Nestorians, the children of any sect, might be admitted, but Mo nammcaans never, uciauae ine government la theocratic, and Its very foundations are based on the Koran. Take that i away and the fabric must crumble. right or wrong no people like to i see the foundations of their house giving way under them until some better mansion provided. Finding that his remonstrances had no effect with the American missionaries, whose zeal was in excess of their usual' good sense, and were willing to risk not only i their own lives, but that of all the Christians In Tabreez, Muzafar-e-Deen Doldly decided to take a new course. Friendly to the missionaries, but with stern responsibilities to his own people, the prince sent 4 me a noble telegram worded both with suavitv and force.

"Your neoDle." said he. "will take no advice and are endangering the lives of many. I cannot longer be answerable for the results unless they are prepared to yield from their position, at least for a time. May I urge your excellency to co-operate with me under the circumstances I saw the reasonableness of the views of the valyahed at once. They coincided with my own, and I sent off a telegram to the missionaries at Tabreez requesting them to close their schools for a few weeks.

This message I followed with a letter explaining the situation. In reply I received a letter from them agreeing to the request of the prince and of the American legation, although adding that so far as they were concerned they saw no reason for the alarm and could not well bring themselves tn Mnhammpflan scholars who ao plied for admission to the schools. Eut I believe that eventually they tacitly yielded on this point, as they did about a similar case brought to my attention in Teheran. Subsequently the prince presented me with his photograph and signature, which are reproduced here. The reign of Shah will always be remembered as marked by the establishment of a parliament at the capital of Persia, and the proposal for a national bank to enable the nation to float Its finances without depending on borrowing from abroad, which, situated as Persia is, would curb national freedom.

Another point to remember in connection with this patriotic sovereign is the fact that he sent the heir apparent to Europe to broaden his mind by contact with foreign universities and culture. There is no doubt that under his reign Persia has taken several steps decidedly in advance. To say that Persia has lost ground in the last three reigns of the Khajar dynasty would be an error. Handicapped by her geographical situation, Persia seems to hold back, nut the brains of her people are as active as ever, still moved by an incomparable talent for decorative art, fond of literature and science and possessed of decided commercial ability. If the powers would only let Persia alone she would spring once more to progressive life and hold the rank that rightfully belongs to her.

All that she asks is freedom and space to move again to the place won by Darius, Khosru and Ahbass. It may be added in passing that owing perhaps to preserving the purity of the line the sovereigns of the Khajar dynasty maintain a strong family resemblance. May they long remain In power! S. G. W.

BENJAMIN. Falcon as a Ship's Mascot. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Ohio Fred Is a large falcon with a curved and wicked-looking beak and claws which command respect from all. He was captured by Chief Officer F.

G. Mills when his vessel was about 100 miles inside of Unimak Pass, on the voyage north. Mr. Mills only secured Fred after a hard struggle. The bird alighted on the foretop fc of the steamship one afternoon.

There was a heavy wind and the big bird was tired out. Mr. Mills climbed aloift and after a struggle succeeded in brlsg Fred to the I deck. Fred, however, almost took them both overboard on the way down from the foretop. He struggled with his large wings and nearly took the officer from the rigging.

Mr. Mills, however, clung to his prise and the result was that Fred became the pet and mascot of the ship. It was only with his captor that he would become friendly. To any one else approaching he shows his beak and threatens them with his claws And they keep their distance. No Excuse for Begging.

A Singular Selfishness. From the Pictorial Rerlew.

Women are called unselflsh as a sez; is it unselflsh to take the easiest part in life and keep It because the law allows It? The easiest part Is to be without responsibility and to avoid thought. Many women think that If they work very hard In their homes. are saving and careful, they have as hard Cl a task as their husbands. Such women are ignorant of the meaning of responst- si bllity, and they have avoided thinking about it too closely. If they once had on their shoulders the suocess or the failure tl of supplying their.entire household, they 1 would appreciate that the hardest work without that anxiety was as chiM's play to tl the responsibility of meeting all those a financial obligations comprehended as the a auiy 01 ue pruviaer.

To prevent workers from ii being unfairly dealt with the co-operative work of the.
