plains of that n ion he met lone
Indian. "How, how?" passed between
them, and then the Indian. with the in
quisitiveness which is strong in the race
despite the character for stoicism with
which the American aborigines are cred
tied, put the question:: Where from?'
Kentucky, replied the Senator
"Good, almost gleefully the Indian
responded. From Kentuck, give Indun
whisky"
"Can't do it, !" said the Senator.
"Indun give horse for whisky"
"No, persisted the Senator
@Give horse and gun.
Yet the Senator refused. The Indian
continued to add to this offer other
articles, his saddle, girt, and other trap

~Uncle . Billy Green Tells the story OF
Abraham Lincoln's Early Love-
"Uncle Billy" Green is one of tire most
interesting of the historical characters
Of Illinois He was born in Tennessee
in 1912, in what was then Overton county.
He came 20 Illinois in 1890 with his par
ents. who settled near Old Salem, in this
tsIeuard) county He met Abraham
Lincoln soon after that awkward young
man landed from the flat boat which
floated down the Sangamon g. Salem ON
the high water following the "deep
snow" of 1881 He was intimately rs
sociated with Lincoln ever afterward He
says of him: Il thought the first time
ever met Abe Lincoln that he was the
greatest man living, and am thankful
lived long enough to know | was
right
He was Lincoln's partner in the gro-
Gerry at Salem, and at night, when cus-
toners were few, h held the grammar
while Lincoln recited his lessons. To
his sympathetic ear Lincoln told the
story of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge.
He saw the happy pair strolling through
tit NoouS duout bdittilt vi bosttlhS OA
the river, or lingering long over the
bucket of water which Lincoln drew
from the well for Ann. lie offered what
comfort he could to his friend when poor
Ann died, and Lincolns great heart
nearly broke.
After Ann died, says Uncle Billy,
con stormy nights, when tie wind blew
the rain against the roof, Abe would set
thar in the grocery, his elbows on his
knees, his face in his hands, an tears
runnin' through his fingers / hated to
see him feel so bad, an I'd say, Abe,
don't cry;' an he'd look up an say: !
can't help it, Bill, the rains a fallin' on
her."
Green saw his friend rise in greatness
and favor with the people, until he was
elected President If the nation. AT
Lincoln's first inaugural banquet Green
sat at the table ON the Presidents left,
with the dignified Secretary Seward on
his right. Lincoln presented the two
men to each other, saying: Secretary
Seward, this is Mr.. Green, of Illinois.
Seward bowed stiffly, when Lincoln ex.
claimed: "Oh. get up, Seward and
shake hands with Green. He's the man
that taught me my grammar. - [Chicago

Twenty-Seven Pennsylvania Miners Caught
Nv n Caye-In.

BY a Cave-In.
WmKEsBARRE, Pa, May 16.--At nine
o'clock yesterday morning the cOmmu-
nifty was thrown into state of wild eX-
citement when the news spread that an
extensive cave-in had occurred in No. 6
COlliery, covering an area of more than
ten acres. Thousands rushed to the
scene of the disaster, and found that the
surface almost as far as the eye could
reach was scanned and cracked with long
circular assures, some of which were
over two feet wide. The sorrow of the
people was intensified when it became
known that twenty-seven of their
friends, who had gone into the fatal pit
in the morning were directly beneath
the portion that had caved in, and in all
probabilities were entombed forever be-
hind an impenetrable mass of coal and
rock. That portion of the mine in
which the men were is known as No. 4
slope, and the cave-in, if it did not over
whelm them all at once, shut off all
means of reaching the surface. Rescu-
ing parties were at once organized,
and an opening broken through
! into manway along the bed
| of a mountain stream, where the
chambers in that part of the mine came
within few feet of the surface. All
the day long these men tOiled like Tit
ans at the hard and stubborn rock. while
the weeping wives and little ones of the
/ doomed victims stood around the open
ing and rent the air with their cries and
| lamentations. Gang after gang relieved
one another until five o'clock the news
was passed that they had succeeded in
breaking through the chambers beneath
/ the cave. A period of indescribable
| suspense followed, while the thou
sands who stood around the opening
waited for some intelligence from the
men at the front. The men tOiled on
in silence until half-past six, when there
was a cOmmOtiOn at the mouth of the
dark opening and the foreman crawled
out on his hands and knees and an
nOunced that they had found one of the
victims. He was lying at the bottom Of
a fifty-fOOt plane, and in order to rescue
him it became necessary to lower q
miner down with a rope. This was
done, and the charred and blackened
form of Anthony Froyne, the first of the
victims, was hoisted to the surface. he
was still alive, but his injuries are con,

The Farmers Alliance Proposed scheme
Before the Congress.

WASHINGTON, May 15-Mr. Macune,
representing the Farmers Alliance, yes
terday morning continued his arguments
begun the day before before the Ways
and Means Committee in favor of the
Picker bill to establish sub-Treasuries
for the receipt of agricultural products.
lie was questioned by members of the
committee respecting the details and
probable effect Of the bill He proceed
ed to explain the process proposed to
regulate the issue of produce certifi-
Gates. He said that the necessity for ex-
GLIDING imports of agricultural products
was obvious if the quality of the certifi-
Gates was to be preserved. The certi-
ficates would constitute the soundest
and best currency in the world. Prob
ably not one-half of the $50, 900, 900 appro-
priation asked for to put the new machin-
cry in action would be required, but the
sum should not be absolutely fixed at a
minimum, as in time it would be neces-
sary to extend the system to include all
the products of labor not COW
cred by patents. In conclu-
sion, Mr.. Macune said that the
National Alliance had not sent out a
single printed petition, and that those
petitions and demands now pouring in
upon Congress were the Spontaneous
offerings Of the farmers of the United
States. who were convinced that they
knew what they wanted and were
going to have il. MI Flower said,
in comment upon the argument,
that the farmer would do we'll to
managed his domestic affairs without
Government interference. The currency
system of the present was wrong. The
Government had not managed it proper
ly, and could not do so. 1t had taken
from the States the right to issue cur
rency, although it was itself no judge of
the needs of the people. The States and
/ their people we're the best judges,
