A Tile That Wee Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. Hintory IncH Not Say Where trio "Rail Sputter" Got It, But It Wan Made to Ordor-Once It War Uned AN a 1'ost 'There are ere math of funny lucidents reported of Sir. Lincoln's hat to mako it "Cabled in aud illumined in For example, it served as IL football on the night of his election to the presidency. when the ladies of the old homestead tostitied their glee over his good fortune. The scene would hare done credit to the great gamo that was played last Thanksgiving between Yale and Princeton on Manhattan Held.

This is the story us told by an eyewitness: A few of us ladies went over and helped Mrs. Lincola prepare A little supper for the friends of Mr. Lincoln, who had been invited in to hear the.re turns. Every half hour or so we would pass around coffee and cakes. About 0110 o'elock in the morning enough had been learned 1.00 warrant the belief that the Rail Splitter had been elected.

I think it was when we heard the news from New York. The men rushed on Nr. Lincoln and shook his hands, while some of the women netnally hngged him, and. 1 might a4 well admit it. kissed him.

"Then some one weut into the hull and took from the rack the old silk hat that he wore, and which was as long A5 a joint of stovepipe. and about as shapely to my mind, and it was thrown up to the ceiling. As it caine down some one gave it kick, and then the women joined in the fun and wo played football with the hat until it was an ludistinguishable muse. We wero simply beyond control. What a ridiculous scone it would have been to one looking in without knowing whut prompted it.

was all the more 50, so far as I was concerned. for originally I had been a Seward woman. While the conrention was in session in Chicago we were waiting to hear the news. It had been arranged, in case Lincoln received the uomination, to Dre a cannon. My nearest neighbor was a Mrs.

Dubois, with whom I had several frlendly LINCOLN AND HIS FAMOUA TILE. spats during the campaign preceding the 'nomination. 1 heard Lite cannon shot. and the next moment I saw Mrs. Dubois running across the street.

She had been making a shirt for her Imasband, who was about the size of the Inte Indue David Davis, so you may have some idea of the size of the garment she. was waving. She rushed into the 12021150 and ilounted it in 11y face. It made ine mind. and sat down and began erying.

The woman put her arms aronnd 10c. begged my pardon and kissed me. and from that time we were Lincoln women. She took part in the footbal! match." As if not content with his 6 feet 4 or 5 inches of gaunt stature. Lincoln had his now historic hat mule fully fact high, with a brim almost 805 big as southern sombrero.

It seems have been a combination of all styles then in existence, and in this respect it reflected his own curly experience in having. been store-keeper, soldier, surveyor, and finally a solicitor. 11 was a veritable "joint of stovepipe," and its remarkable and romautic brim made it alike serviceable in rain or shine. It might have been culled with propriety a "plug ugly." after the name of the mob in Baltimore that threatened him in his journey to the capital. During Lincoln's great debate with Douglas that hat fairly loomed into space.

The smallness of the latter': stature caused him to be nicknamed "Tho Little Giant," und when Lincolu stood besido him with his hint on the difference between the two seemed all but immeasurable. Representative Springer, who hails from Lincoln's old home, knew the hat well, und in speaking of it recently said: "Mr. Lincoln's hitch bat was the most indispensable thing of his whoie outfit. In it he carried all valouble papers. In fact.

it was sort of file Here were all the briefs of his various law Curiously enough he carried the accounts in his hend and that is why he lost so much money. Tad ho reversed the process and kept his accounts in his hat and the cases in his head he would have been bettor off. His hat served for his satchel on 3 journey, and all that was needed besides this were his cuddlebags and his horse, It was large and capacious. and A great muny doenments and data could be crowded into it without seriously discommoding the wearer." But Mr. Lincoln had still: better 1190 for his valuable tile.

which seems to have had spore virtues than those rehearsed in the nursery tale of "Jack and the Bean Stulk." When he was postmaster at New Salem his hat became a most important. part of his office equipment. As soon us the mail was received cach dug the young postmaster would put the letters in his hat and take a stroll through the village. The villagers knew that he' WAS a peripa-. tetic post office.

and, of course. everybody was anxious to know the contents of the hat, which seemed to promise as much to them 2:1 a hat in the hands of sleight-of-hand performer. GEORGE CHILDS DREXEL. The Now Saltor and Maanger of the Philaden.de ledger. The people of Phitmlelphin are not likely.

The Louisville meeting of the tional assembly of the league will pass Into history 38 the most important that' it has held for years past or to come. Earnest and careful discussion was given all questions of importance.

lu spite of the fact that the meeting was held over a dynamite magazine, to speak there were Do seemly wrangles. A word, a look almost, would have precipitated a warfare of words, but the delegates CHARLES 11. LUSCONT. elected President of the T. A.

W.7 seemed to realize the uselessness of any such wrangles, and happily steered clear of them. The dnes were raised from 81 to 91.50. This netion will certainly result in decrease in membership. for awhile at least. In the long run it will undoubtedly result in a better class of members, it not in larger membership.

Moreover the more was an absolute necessity. report of the auditing committee showed conclusively that the leagne stands today in a position of bunkruptey. It well that Good Roads, had cost the league in actual money paid out of the trensury over $16,000, and in contributions over 85,000, or considerably over $21,000 in all, for is nothing to show to-day but a magazine that is losing money on every issue. It was the sentiment 01 the assembly that the work for 1 good rads must. be continued, but that the cost must be reduced.

Proposal to Build a Dam Between Ire1x0d and Scotland. A bold scheme for obtaining mechanical power for industrial purposes has lately uttracted attention in England. It contemplates the construction of a Dum fifteen miles long from the northeastern coast of Ireland across "North channel" to the extremity of C'antire. Scotland, and patting in several gates. and waterwheels, to he worked by the tide.

Owing to the grenter depth of the Irish sea, and to the freer conrse afforded west and north of Ireland, the tide comes up from the South Atlantic by that route and flows southward through the passage just mentioned long before it can get up there on the east side of the green isle. Morearer, the Gulf stream. or rather the drift from it. bathes the northern part of Great Britain more freely than the southern, and a portion thereof is di3 CAT LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED DAM. verted southward by the Scottish coast, SI as 10 make a continuous current.

it is said, flowing down the North other mills gave employment to an increused number of inen, and prosperity reigned throughout the land. In vomber, 1892, Grover Cleveland was elected on a distinctively free trade platform. 'T'he success of Cleveland and his party was the signal for the abandonment of all new textile enterprises and the closing up of many that had been successfully conducted for pore a score of years Before Clerciand channel. Here is arvat deal of power going 1.0 waste. and the New York Tribung thinks it is not a senseless proceeding to consider the praetienbility of utilizing it somehow.

American enterpriso at Niagara has set the whole world thinking of such matters. Tho depth of water is four hundred and serenty-foor feet in mid channel; but most of the way it is much less than this. The proposed "isthmus'-for that is what the engineers call it--would be about three hundred feet wide, and the material for it, it is thought, might be obtained from the high bluffs at the Trish end. The estimated cost is ten million dollars, and the time named us necessary for construction in three years. The current flows at six miles an bour most of the way across.

and at some places cren fuster. It is taken for granted that the power developed by this means wonld be converted into the form of electricity for transmission, but there is some question as to the localities in which it would be used. On the Irish side of the channel there are no large towns near at hand. Dublin is one hundred and twenty-six miles away and London three hundred und sixty-five; Glasgow, in bee line. is seventy-fIve miles distant, and Edinburgh about fifty more.
