THE YOUTH OF LINCOLN

The first instalment of the new Life of Abra-
ham Lincoln, by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, pub
lshed in the November Century. is of the
deepest interest. 1t gives a picturesque and
graphic view of a stage of social development
now almost wholly outgrown. To judge from
externals nothing could have been less favor
able TO the evolution of greatness than the con-
ditions which surrounded the young pioneer.
His lot was cast in the semi-barbarism of the
wilderness. The hard necessities of their stu
alton left the people among whom he lived
neither leisure nor inclination for the acquisi-
tion of a broader knowledge than suiiiced for
their humble needs. AS he himself said in
after years: @There was absolutely nothing to
excite ambition for education" Everything
was rough, rude. makeshft Money was almost
unknown Barter was the basis of business.
The half-savage life in which every man is
manly dependent on his own labors for the
satisfaction of all his wants had i1,t been
passed. Education was redr ced to its simplest
elements. A few months sufiiced to put young
Lincoln in possession of all the schoolmaster

moralist to discriminate in principle between
these fantastic literary competitions and some
of the less reputable forms of lottery, such rs
pool-selliug. As the fashions Of the day are
ephemeral and something else will be having
run in n few months in London, it is hardly
worth while to discuss the subject too seriously.
Certainly with all these competitions IN
progress the English public will soon outrivai
the Yankee community in the down talent

One more reproach Is removed from American

AMIGO, Wis, Jan. 1.-The prelimi-
nary examination of Mrs. Chadek for the
murder of her husband. the late postmaster
of Deer Brook, was begun here to-day.
The trial was held in the court house, and
large crowd of spectators was present.
People from all parts Of the county are
here, and large crowd of ladies were given
seats within the bar. DIR. j. III. Dawley
testified concerning the nature of the
wounds and the condition in which he found
the body when arriving at the place of the
tragedy, and that Mrs. Chadek told him
that when she was running away from
Chadek he shot her in the back. This, the
doctor says, could not have been on account
or the location Of the wounds he received in
the struggle. This afternoon the trial took
rather unlOOked-fOr turn. 1t had
been thought up to to-day that the state re-
lied entirely upon circumstantial evidence,
but Mrs. Francis Lavine, being put on the
stand, testified as follows: Mrs. Chadek
came to my house on the night preceding
the tragedy, about 1890, with her para
mOur and some others and wanted admis-
sion, which l refused. Then the next
morning, Nov. 80, she came again, and
soon after her husband came and
WANTED HER To COME HOME,
and not be running around with other men.
She said she would do so when she got
ready, and he went OFF, and in about ten
minutes she saw him coming back and said:
IF he undertakes to touch me / will lay
him out cold" and that she had revolver
in her bosom, which witness identified as
being the same one found near Chadek
Before Chadek got 10 the house Mrs. Chadek
went out and met him and the witness soon
heard firing, went to the door and saw Mr..
and Mrs. Chadek wrestling. Shortly after
Mrs. Chadek fired at him five times Mrs.
Lavlne overheard the defendant tell her
children that if anybody asked who killed
their father TO say he shot at her and then
killed himself. On crOSS-examinatiOn she
said the reason she never told this before
was because she was afraid of her life
Mrs. Chadek is woman about so years Of
age. about fiyefeet ten inches tall, pasSably
good-loOking, and appears in court well but
plainly dressed. and listens with eagerneSS

LAST NTGUT,S FCUOEs

Even the night was in sympathy with
the spirit of the carnival. The sky was
spread like IAN ocean hung on high, be-
spangled with those isles of light" while
the half-grown moon went forth her
princely way among the stars in slow and
silent brightness.
The song of the ice palace: "a lovelier
block was never laid by fairer hands of
beauteous maid.'
The only disappointed people were those
who didn't see the procession.
Minneapolis did the part of neighborly
sister and sent down large delegation to
see the snow show make good start.
If the carnival be so great in the over
ture what will it be when the full orchestra
is turned on.
President FINCH deserved all the honorS
that were shOwered upon him last night.
A more worthy vanguard never marched
in procession than the st. George Snow
shoe club.
Even the doubling THOMAsEs now be-
lieve that the carnival is to be a success.
The wisdom of selecting Central park as
the site for the ice palace was demonstrated
last night. No other park in the city could
have held the jewellers.
1T was bowling success.

is not all talk, but that II Is g splendid
reality. AS the news of last nights
demonstration is flashed out over the wires
to ali parts of the world people abroad will
realize that st. Paurs iee-palace project is
no myth, and it will be the means of at
tracing thousands of strangers to st. Paul
during the present winter season who
would not otherwise have come The
GLOBE has labored to place the Importance
of this matter before the people Of this city,
and last nights demonstration is an ample
reward for all our labors. The ice palace
is here, and is going to stay until the win
ter breaks. The carnival season is upon us
and the liveliest time st. Paul ever knew is
at hand. To the faithful who have labored
with us to make it a success the GLOBE ex-
tends congratulations. Well done, faithful
ones, you can now enter upon the enjoy
ment of the reward of your labors.

MURDERED WITH BLUDGEON.
A French Project Assassinated for
His Money.


PARIS. Jan. 14.-Prefect NJ. Barren has
been killed on railroad train. He came
TO Paris to receive instructions from NJ.
Darrieu, the new minister of the interior,
and was returning to Evreut capital of the
Department of Eure, when he was asSas-
sinated. The corpse was found with the
eyes bandaged and the skull smashed in.
The body lay between the rails on bridge.
and it is evident the murderers intended to
throw II into the Seine. NJ. BaTrem'S pOck-
etbook. loose money and watch were gone
number of the most experienced detec-
tiyeS IN Paris have been detailed to work I'D
the case, but their search so far has re-
suited in Cfinding no clue except that prior
to the starting of the train a
gentleman inquired of the guards whether
NJ. Barren was aboard. On being answered
in the affirmative, he purchased a ticket and
boarded the same train. NJ. Barren was
the father of a large family and was an
excellent administrator. The various mem
beTs of the government have sent dispatches
of coincidence TO his widow. The murder
is the sole topic of the day. 1t is now
known that he had large sum of money
in his possession. 1t is supposed that the
murderers were disturbed in their opera
tons OF rihing the clothes of the dead man.
as they overlooked pocket containing 527
francs. The doctors who examined the
body express the opinion that NJ. Barren
was murdered with bIudgeOn. and that
the first blow Killed him.
