Incredible Story of Lincoln.
the p ittsburp Dispatch.


SIN 1861" relates Colonel d. B.
Parker, prominent in Eastern tele.
phone interests, and for many years
connected with the Post Office Depart.
ment at Washington. "Brougham's
burlesque opera, .Pocahontas,' was
being given at the old National The
atrc. At the time wave of indigna-
ton was sweeping over the North at
the rapacity OF the average resilnental
sutler; newspapers teemed with whole
some abuse of the 'rapacious blood.
sucker as the sutler was called; and
even Congress had been called upon
to remedy the evil. One evening dur.
ing the run OF 'Pocahontas' at tho
National, President Lincoln occupied
his usual box, sitting well forward in
full view OF the audience. At the point
where Pocahontas and captain John
Smith have their lively family quar-.
rel, Mrs. John Wood-now manager
OF n London theatrc-as Pccahontas
was,in her lines, terriiicnlly denounc;ng
the Captain as migrate, brute, liar, viii
lain. thief, etc. Suddenly rousing to n
supreme effort OF annihllatory scorn,
she pounced upon the terrified Cap
tain and hissed: 'You-you sut.ler-r!'
The great audience was convulsed by
the pat invective and Mr.. Lincoln
laughed so immoderately that u ca.
tastrophe followed. He went over
backwa ard bodily in his chair, his ex-
ceedingly large boots coming up over
and somehow catching upon the box
rail in full view of the assemblnye. from
which position he was only extricated
by the aid OF his friends, amidst the
widest shouts OF the audience"

The Hal Reid Case q, St, Paul.

Hal Reid OF Minneapolis, convicted at
st. Paul OF assauiting Maud Campton. was
brought before Judge Kelley on Monday,
Jan. Sth. When he put the usual question
ms to whether the prisoner had anything
to say as to why sentence should not bo
passed upon him, he folded his arms, MS.
sumed a melodramatic pose and in q sol
emn voice exclaimed:
Only this; that so help mo God, am
innocent.
Judge Kelly then passed sentence upon
him. ordering him to bo confined with
hard lobor for term OF fifteen years in
the state prison at Saltwater. The pris
oner was struck dumb by the sentence
and as full realization OF its meaning
dawned upon him he turned iairly livid,
and slightly trembled.
The sentence was surprise to moro
people than the prisoner himself, as very
few supposed it would be SO heavy.
Attorney O'Brien has declared his in.
tention OF carrying the case to the esuprene
court, but it cannot be argued until May.
Reid will be taken over to Saltwater.
At the Jail lie again asserted his inno-
cence to the reporters. He Ind the kind
est words for his relatives, spoke icclingly
of his vile and little daughter, and seemed
much affected by the gravity OF his posi-.

A Weakness of the Civil Service
System.

The attention OF Mr.. Edycrton, OF the
civil service commission. was called to the
statement that only 1,25? appointments
have been made from its Qualifications
since tine civil service commission was or.
ganized, and Of this number about one in
eight have been women, and that the num-
Der OF applicants who have had their
names put on the eligible register is ut least
fifty for every appointment made. To
this Mr.. Edserton said:
The statement is practically correct.
There were no more appointments made
for the simple reason that thero were no
moro vacancies. This TACT cal Is attention
to what appears to inc the greatest weak
ness OF the civil service system. The cligi.
bic registers are filled ont OF all proper
tion to possible appointments Tho effect
upon the young men and young women OF
this country is bad. The competitive cx.
aminations hold out hopes to hundreds Of
worthy young people oi both sexes which
can never be realized. Fifty to one is n
very small estimatc oIthe ratio OF success.
ful applicants upon the eligible register Of
appointees. and the forty nine persons who
are not appointed are grievously disap-
pointed.

Senator stanford,s Trouble.

Senator Stanford is confronted with
novel opposition to his plans for
establishing great university in CAL
fornia. A large portion OF the lands
which the Senator has included in his
endorsement OF the institution are at
present devoted to vineyards from
which vast quantities OF wine are pro-
duced annually, and the idea OF an
educational establishments derivinsits
origin or support from such sources is
SO distasteful to certain interests that
they are making vigorous objection
to the enterprise. The Rev. f. L.
Jewell. a Methodist clergyman OF San
Jose, is at the head OF the opposition.
and under his direction ali rclisi Gus
and temperance organizations are
urged to petition Senator Stanford.
asking him not to endow the new uni.
versity with any funds or property
accumulated by the sale OF wine.
This opposition may not be prudish,
narrow-minded and unreasonable,
but it is impossible to believe that the
Senator will be converted to that way
of thinking.
