DEATH OF MRS. LINCOLN.
The widow Of the War President Gone
TO the silent Land.

SpRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 1G.-Mrs. LIN
coin, widow OF the late President, died IN
this city at S:15 tonight. She had been Ill
for long time. A few days ago she grew,
worse. On Saturday evening she suffered
shock OF paralysis, and from that time lay
in comatose state till she died. Robert
Lincoln left Washington tonight ana VIII
he here Tuesday morning. The announce
ment OF the funeral will be made later.
Mrs. Lincoln was the daughter Of the
uou. Robert s. Todd, OF Lexington, KY,
and in 1889 lived with her sister. Mrs.
N,nian w. Edwards, at Springfield, ILL.,,
not agreeing with a step-mother at home.
She had been educated under the care OF
French lady, and was gifted with rare tai
ents, and most fiery and ungovernabie
temper. Her tongue and her pen were
equally sharp. For time she was courted
nv Stephen A. Douglas as well as by Abra-
ham Lincoln, but is said to have rejected
Douglas. her reason being his bad morals.
She decided i'm favor OF Lincoln, beliey-
ing he had the best chance OF becom-
ing President of the United States. Her
shorp and witty pen involved MI. Lin-
coin in controversy with James Shieids'
then Auditor OF Illinois, before the mar
rage came off. Mr.. Shields supposed MIR.
Lincoln TO be the author of several iocular
communications published in the Sanga-
mon Journal. holding Mr.. Shields up to
ridicue, which really were the productions
of Miss Mary Todd. Mr.. Lincoln was
challenged to duel, and broadswords
were named as the weapons; but the mat
ter was compromised by friends. and no
meeting took place.
The marriage occurred on the 4th OF
November, 1912, and they went to board
at the Globe Tavern, In Springfield, pay
ing at the rate Of 81 per week. Mr.. Lin
coin was not happy in his domestic rela-
tons, and his friends always considered
his marriage great mistake. She was the
mother OF four children, one OF whom died
when four years old. and Il second. so well
known by the pet name OF Tad" died OF
scarlet-fever after the family had settled in
the White House. She was seatedb by the side
of her husband in Ford's Theatre, in Wash
ington, when the bullet of the assassin GU.
short the career Of the President. Her
