Gsnneil's farm, not far from Fredericksburg
wss shot and fatally wounded. was brought
to Washington, identified, and buried oy
the United States authorities. But still,
there are thousands of people who have
their lingering suspicious. bit of teeti-
moDy was told correspondent, which, 1t
was said, had never before been publ shed.
There lives in Washington one DR.. May,
the father Of Fred May, of New York,
of Bennett duel and other fames DR.. May
vas a leading physician of Wash
;ngton OF the time of President Linooln's as
sassination, and it was known that Wilkes
Booth had but recently been under his sur.
gical treatment. When the remains of the
man VINO had been shot in Gannell's barn
were brought to Washington they we're
taken TO the United States steamer Monitor
and held there for official Identification.
Judge Johu a Bingham, of Peunsy lvania,
was special judge advocate in the trial
of the sssassius, aud II MAS be
who selected the party Il Identification.
Among whom he chose were d. May and a
Mr.. Moore, then private secretary 20 Secre-
iary Stanton, now major of police of Wash.
ington. As the party entered the little cabin
where lay the remains of the ASSASSIN, DIR May
stopped, and, before the black pail that lay
over the body was removed, said TO Judge
Bingham: II had been treating John Wilkes
Booth for tumor on the back Of the peck

I performed an operation, and it was so suc-
cessful that told him there would be DO
scar remaining. He went away, but short
time afterwards he returned. There had
been very serious rupture. and the wound
was 10 a bad condition. l questioned him,
and he told me that in the course OF per.

Charlotte Cushman, her role required her 10

wound, which had not yet had time to heal
properly. examined the wound, and then
told Booth that my promise regarding the
absence of any scar would no longer hold,
and that there would now certainly be one.
Ifthis is Wilkes Booth body, there must be
comparatively fresh scar on the back of
the neck. Besides this you must find on
his arm, tattooed, the letters j. w. ."
The remains were examined. DR.. May
himself raised the head of the corpse and
turned 1t about. Or the back of the neck
was the cicatrice, plainly visible, left by the
surgeons knife. He stripped back the
sleeve from the arm, and there were the
initials, 81. W. b." faint. but distinct. They
could not be questioned. More than one OF

FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY
MADE.

An old preacher, after service
on Sunday, announced his reading
tor the following Sunday. During
the week some mischievous boys
obtained his Bible and pasted two
of the leaves together, right where
he was to read. Sunday morning
the aged divine opened his book
and read as follows: "And Noah
took unto himself wife who was
and here he turned the leaf
s1forty cubits broad, one hundred
and forty cubits long" With a
look of astonishment he wiped his
glasses, re-read and verified the
passage and then said ''My friends,
alshough l have read the Bible
many times, this is the first time
have ever seen this passage, but
/ take it as another evidence OF
the fact that man is most wonder
fully and fearfully made. IN. Y.

THE NAVY YARD.

It is understood that the selec-
ton of the site on Puget sound for
a navy yard has been indorsed by
the secretary of the navy. The
yard which is to be established is
to meet half way the improve
ments in Great Britain's navy yard
at Esquimalt, and will be the
largest and finest in the country.
1t will be equipped with the fullest
plant for hip-building and repair
ing, and will, it is said, include ex-
tensive furnaces and forges for
steel and iron works, and it is a
matter of general congratulation
that a navy yard is to be establish
ed somewhere on this northwest
coast as it will be of mutual aid
and benefit.

ROOSEVELT ON BEER.

Theodore Roosevelt, the young
member of the civil service COM
mission, was in Milwaukee and
has gone again. When the COM
mission went to Schlitz's park Mr..
Roosevelt declined to go into the
theatre, saying that he would give
more for five minutes under the
trees than whole evening of
grand opera. So they sat down
and talked of literature while
drinking lager beer.
"Do you know" said Mr.. Roose-
welt, holding up his glass and look
ing through the amber hued liquid,
s'that there is not thought in a
hogshead of beer; that there Is not
an idea in a whole brewery? [

politiciad, "that nothing of merit

ration of lager beer. Ii stupefies

\ Sad Suicide at Goldsboro.

The Announcement OF the suicide OF
Mr.. ". W. Slocumb. who, for many
ears was the telegraph operator at
Goldsboro. and who was q highly res
pected and worthy citizen, created
something of sensation in this city
in the forenoon Of Thursday.
The facts in the case, as cleaned
from reliable sources, are about as
{ llOws:
Mr.. .Slocumb has for some time been
in poor health, and upon that &C.
count was forced to resign his posi-"
ton. He was happily married, o de
voted husband and doting father, but
through his inability to continue his
vocation, conceived the idea that
himself and family must become de.
oeudents, ard that he would die in
the poorhouse This was regarded
by his friends asa morbid vagary
.uperinduced by his ailing health. and
upon that account no special a'ten.
ZION was given TO it.
Thursday morning at about $50,
Mr. Slocumb entered the hardware
store Of Messrs. Smith & Yelverton.
and asked Mr.. Moscoe Wilson for
the loan Of a ristOl, stating that he
had been much annoyed with cats u
late. Surprising that Mr. Slocun,b
vas bent upon destroying bis alleged
feline aRnoyances. and with no
thought Of an intent for self destruc.
ton, Mr Wilson readily supplied the
geapon-a 80 cslibre-and Mr..
Sl)cunb left.
A short time after two pistol shots
we're heard in the rear Of the Airing
ton hotel, and Mr. Benz. Z. Smith,
Exp ess agent next door, was called.
aud upon going TO the rear of the
hotel found Mr.. Slocumb dead. with
two bullets thr Ugh his brain. b til,
evidently having been fred through
the mouth.
The trsgic death Of Mr. Slocumb
has esst a gloom over. o wide circle Of
friends. who had known him for
many years. and respected him for
hi prJnou need domestic attachments
and virtues.

prominence in the whole array to be
taken into consideration. What the
next three years may develop no one
can tell. But for the present Gov.

key of the Democratic situation, and
he evidently means to make the most

izen of Raleigh, N. G. That Mr..
Davis gained and retained the respect
and warm affection of his valet may
be taken as the best proof of his high
personal character.
Boston Herald. Ind: The way
that is not statesmanlike, the way
that is especially un American, is to
increase the expenditures of the gov-
erpment. That way is peculiar to
the last very few years; but it is here,
and is strengthening in its assurance
of power in our government. 1t is
claiming that the late presidential
election was a verdict IN its favor. 1t
is an immediate danger now, and it
may involve a calamity which shall
have far-reachiDg consequences.
