What Is Left of the Dollar Subscription for
Lincoln Monument.
Washington Special.
An old tin box, in which a lot of papers and a
package of District of Columbia $3.50 bonds are
kept, was opened, to-day in the Treasury De-
partment to cut off coupons. The box contains
all that is left of the national Lincoln monument
fund, which at one time amounted to over 500
000 When first deposited there were about ST,
500 worth of bonds, but in premiums accrued
interest and reinvestment of interest payments
it has grown to nearly s., 700. A large sum was
raised shortly after the assassination of Mr.. Lin
coin by popular contributions of 81 for the pur-
pose Of erecting a bronze monument in COM
memoration of the martyr President Lincoln,
according to the advertised design, was to be
the central figure in a group of the leading
emancipators of the day. A committee of prom
nent citizens was appointed to take charge of
the matter, and ex- Treasurer Spinner was ap-
pointed treasurer of the fund Confident that
money would continue to flow in from all parts
of the country as it did at first, some very ex-
travagant plans were arranged to carry out the
general idea. Clark Mills. the celebrated sculp-
tor, was directed to go to work and prepare
models for the monumental group. Agents were
appointed to make collections at salary of $3.50
per month, and lot of printing,
engraving anu stationery was purchased
The sculptors bill for time and
labor and material used in the construction of
models soon ate large holes in the fund, which
did not grow in proportion to the demands made
upon it. Finally. when the subscriptions ceased
coming in, there was less than s., 900 left, clear
of all expenses, and no signs or hope of a monu-
ment existed, the cash remaining was con.
verified into 3 sesn Dis, the collection agents were
DISCHARGED. and the accounts and bonds were
bundled into the tin box brought forth to-day
This was deposited in the United States Treasury
for security, and it is only when the box is
opened to add a few dollars interest to the fund
that the Treasury officials think of it By the
outside world it is wholly forgotten

Once-Fan,ous Confederate and His Ee-

A Once-Fanous Confederate and His Fe-
male Namesake.
Special to the Indiana polls journal
WASHINGTON, March 28-With the ,antiquated
crowd of ex-confederates turns up here the
once renowned Gen. George B. Loring The old
man says he doesn't want an office: he only asks
to see the boys as they come in for their official
swae aud TO do this successfully he is about the
Capitol during all the time the Senate is in ses-
sion, grasping the hands of men who wore the
gray and fought for cause less successful than
the one they nowpropose to serve.
Loring was on the staff of the Khedive of
Egypt in 1867 and as such officer received con-
siderable distinction. He FIRST came before the
world a soldier in the war with Mexico. He
served with the United States troops, entering
as an officer of low rank and going up to the po-
tition of major In the battle of Chapultepec,
before the City of Mexico his left arm was shot
away near the shoulder He served as an officer
in the confederate army, however.
While serving in the war Loring's sister, who
almost wofshipped him. wrote him that she
would name her next child after him, in recogni-
ton of his gallantry The next child was fe-
male, the same sex as the first one borne by
Lofinss sister. The mother was chagrined be-
cause she could not give the child the name of
her brother She named the little one Major,
however, the military title of her brother, and
to this day the woman is known as Major .
The child grew to wonahhood and was very
handsome The mother moved to New York
with her two daughters, at the close of the last
war, and opened a boarding house General Lor-
ing went along The niece bearing his title went
into the New York postohice. The sister mar
ried South American miner of great wealth.
Major Kelly, now mayor Of Richmond, Va,
asked for the hand Of the other girl, Major,
but was informed by the uncle that two poor
people should not marry. Soon the United
States Senate investigated the New York
postoffice. A subcommittee was sent to
New York. and among them was General
George r. Spencer, senator from Nevada.
Among the witnesses that testified before the
committee was Miss 'Major" Spencer was a
widower, and fell deeply in love with the young
lady. He took no interest in the investigation,
but followed Miss major" Spencer finally pro
posed, was accepted and General Loring raised
his hand and said ''Bless you, my children"
Loring never married. He was a. rolling
stone, but is said to have gathered enough
moss to guarantee pleasant competence. He
is upward of sixty years of age medium height
a little inclined to be stout, long, gray
beard. and is yet zone of the boys His life has
been full of war and romance, and no more in
teresting character is at the capital to-day.
