The simple fact, moreover, is that General Lee's name has no proper place among the "famous men of the United States." Ile was not a citizen or soldier of the United States in all the years when he was winning his title to immortality, and he won it in a war against the United States. He was one of the famous men of the Confederate States, and his name belongs on the same roll of fame with the nameZ of other eminent Soldiers and pariots- of that short-lived Republic, and on no other.

Vandalia was the ital of Illinois, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Lincoln was a memattractive her of the Legislature. The fight over the question of removal of the capital was the dominating issue throughout the session. The State house stands in just about the form it did then, with the columns and the spacious portico.

Stone sills for the wooden have been substituted below the windows, and some modernizing of the interior has taken place. But where the parson and Uncle Johnny sat was not two -rods away from the second-story window which had a place in the culminating exploit of that menorable session. Naturally enough, the two old settlers talked of the incident which was on every tongue when they were boys. Ed ward D. Baker, afterwards a United States Senator, was a member of that Illinois Legislature.

So were Stephen A. Douglas, James Shields and John A. Logan, all in turn Senators and of national fame. The last sur- viving member, Gen. John A.

McCler- nand, died a few weeks ago. But what these men did forgotten, while the local memory of "how Lincoln ke bro the quorum" lives. Vandalia, on the bluffs of the had been the State capital 20 succeeding Kaskaskia, the last ruins of which tumbled into the river only last, summer. Removal to Vandalia was made under an act which provided that the capital should remain there for a period- ef 20 years. At the expiration of that time the Legislature was to de-WWII termine whether Vandalia or some, other locality should be the seat of government.

As the time neared for the show of strength the contest wax-Lord eel warmer and warmer. Springfield was the phief competitor. The county sent to that Legislature two Senators and seven Representatives, who became known as "the long nine," and thereby hangs the quorum-breaking tale. Lincoln, was the tallest man in the lot. The combined height of the nine was 55 feet.

Throughout the session everything else was made subservient to the question of capital removal. The presiding officer of the branch of the Assembly to which Lincoln belong-other ed was a Vandalia partisan. It be-who came necessary to watch him closely lest he take advantage of conditions to give his place the advantage in the time of voting. The issue had been postponed several times and the session was approaching the end. To this day the inhabitants wax indignant when they recall the hard things that were said of Vandalia and of the surround- lags by those who favored removal.

Half a dozen members in the course of several sessions had sickened and died. These deaths were ascribed by the ene- rules to the unhealthy conditions. "The trouble was busthead whisky," said Parson McMahon. ''I have heard them tell that at Ebenezer Capps' store, which was the resort of the statesmen of the day, a barrel of liquor Was kept with the head knocked out and dipper hanging on a nail, so that atembers could help themselves.

"They used to say, too," added Uncle Johnny, "that those fellows who died came down here and ate too many hazelnuts." But notwithstanding the campaign of education which champions of Springfield carried on against Vandalia, only the quick wit of Lincoln prevented the action of the Legislature which would have kept the capital where it was another 20 years. One morning, when the body had been called to order, the presiding officer suddenly laid before the members the question of the capital location.

Lincoln, who was the leader of the Springfield faction, saw that his side was in the minority. Several Springfield members had left town and had not returned. He saw, too, that the number present was barely a quorum. The friends of Vandalia to a man were on hand. At the door stood a burly sergeant-at-arms, who had evidently received instructions to stop any members trying to leave.

It was plain that the Vandalia people meant to rush through the bill to make no change in the capital. Preliminary proceedings proved it. Lincoln had taken the floor, only to find how powerless the minority was. The situation looked hopeless. The tall, gaunt leader nodded to his followers, and hurried to the corner window.

A wooden sill 20 inches wide made a projection beyond the wall. Before his purpose could be divined and the officers of the House could reach him, Lincoln had stepped through the window, and let himself down until he 'hung by his hands from the sill. The to the ground was less than feet. Lincoln dropped. "No quorum!" the Springfield minority shouted.

The journey takes nine days, travelling day and night. The train consists of one first-class and two second-class cars, a baggage car and a (lining car. As in many cases on the Continental railways, the dining car contains also a parlor and on the Trans-Siberian railway it includes also a library, a piano. a bath room with gymnastic apparatus, and a barber's shop. The baggage car contains the kitchen and pantry, refrigerator and linen closet, and the sleeping rooms of the seventeen trainmen.

The passenger cars, both of the first and second class, have numbered seats, so that every one i3 sure of his place, and they contain also the usual toilet rooms, two special statero-oms with large windows for observation. and a dark room for photography. The air in the cars is swarmed in winzer by steam or hot water, and is co-oled in summer by a refrigerating machine. which is capable of reducing the temperature in them to a point fifty degrees below that of the outside air. A story has been circulated in this country to the effect that the Trans-Siberian line is poorly built and that it will have to be reConstructed before it can be of much commercial use.

there is anything in this beyond a very natural probability that the track was first laid with light rails, which will be replaced by heavier ones as traffic in-'creases, 13 doubtful; but the Tolling stock, at least, seems to be modern enough, so far as the passengers are coneerne.i. lArr.

The population of the Unitel States has increased from 63.069,756 in 1890, to 76,295,220 in 1900, or nearly 21 per cent. This includes the immigrants who have come to this country during the decade, and the population of Ha wail, numbering 150.000. The number of immigrants for the ten years has been slightly under 4,000,000, and most of these have settled in the North. Leaving them out, the normal native increase would be about 9,225,000, or a trifle over 14 per cent. It is an acknowledged fact that little or no foreign immigration has come South, and whatever increase has been made in the South has been natural and normal.

The population of the Southern States has increased from 19.300,000 in retina numbers to 000, or very nearly 20 per the best showing made by any section of the country. States like Kansas and Nebraska have virtually increased nothing at all. New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois have added largely to their population through immigration, and two or three of the Northwestern States have been benefited in a like manner.

The question whether or not General Lee's name should be included in the list of names of famous men of the United States to be enrolled in the "Hall of Fame," in New York city, is one, we think, that no Southern man need concern himself about, way or another, or should discuss In the public prints. The respect due to General Lee from his own people forbids any serious discussion of so trivial a mattrr.

His fame is in no wise dependent on his name being "listed" in any building or other place, anywlere. It will be in no degree affected whether his name IA blazoned in gold at the top of the roll in the Hall in New York, or Is omitted from the roll altogether.
