Secretary Elkins Appoints an Officer to
Visit Helena.
FL. M. Parchen, of the Helena military
post committee, received a telegram from
r. b. Harrison yesterday announcing that
a move had been made in the post matter
by the appointment of an army officer to
visit Helena in the interests of the post.
Secretary of War Elkins, who has the di-
rect authority to appoint a commission to
locate the fort. has been sick at his home
in West Virginia. AS soon as he reached
Washington he appointed Col. Luddington,
of the quartermaster generals staff, to visit
Helena. The com were much graft
fed yesterday to learn that the war depart
ment has taken action in the matter. Mr..
Parchen said that he had no other informa-
ton from Washington as to Col. Ludding-
toms appointment. He said he did not
understand that the officer would have au-
thority to decide upon the site. The COM
mittee have five or six locations selected
which they are ready to submit to the war
department. 1t is Iheir understanding that
q commission of army officers represent ting
each branch of the service will choose one
of these sites. since the appointment of a
commission which atarted for Helena some
time ago and WAS ords ed back nothing
detinlt has been learned from the war de-
partrnent until ths receipt of the telegram
by Mir. Parchen.

MAXIMUM LOCOMOTIVE SPEED.

Most experienced railroad men teel
that the possibilities Of steam practice
are nearly reached, and that much great
er speed IS not practicable. a maxi
mum OF ninety miles an honr, with a
running speed OF sixty to seventy, is
all that can be hoped for under the
very best conditions. The Limitations
are numerous, and are well known to
all engineers. The maximum speed of
which a locomative is capable has not
been materially increased in a number
of wears. The schedule time has been
shortened, principally by reducing gra-
dients, Strengthening curves, filing up
ravines and replacing wooden structures
by permanent o-es OF IRON or stone by
the nse of heavy rails, safer switches,
improved methods OF signaling, the ln-
terlocklng switch and signal system, the
abolition of level crossings: in fact, by
improvements in detail and management
which permit higher speed on more
extended section of road because safety
and the greater degree of conidencs in

Then captains door opened with
a jerk and shut with bang, but
do not think those two at the loot OF
the staircase heard it. What did
they say! All, who can repeat the
rapturous speeches of one; the shy
whispers OF the other.
But one thing Nanette said at
least, as they went arm in arm up
stairs to confront Madame Hillien.
You will not tell anybody, will
you, George, that l proposed to you
though it is leap-year?
Never was the emphatic reply.
Madame Hillien cried and laughed
and was none too we'll pleased; but,
after ali, she loved Nanette, and she
gave George her hand at last, and a
motherly greeting
But the strangest part OF all was
yet to come for the captain made
Nanette wedding present of all he
hnery he had purchased especially
for her, and then offered his hand
and heart to Madame Hillien. He
bought the whole house too, and a
brandnew grocery store was started
next door with portion OF Nanette's
money. The neighbors always knew
it was the widow the captain was
courting, and it would be difficult to
say which household is the happier,
that of jolly Captain Saunders and
his wife, or that OF honest George
Davis, grocer, and pretty Nanette.

WORK..

Say, young man, there, is one thing
you cannot do. You can't make a
success in life unless you work. Better
men than you have tried it and failed.
You can't loaf around street corners
and saloons, smoke cigars, tell fool
stories, drink whlskey and sponge on
some one else without making a failure
in life. You must learn trade or get
into some honest business. If you
don't you will be chronic loater, de-
spised by all, producing notlng-simply
making yourself a burden on your
parents or on the State. There is no place
in the world to day for loafers. The
ripe fruit is all at the top of the tree,
You must climb it. If you wait for 1t
to you will never get ii. Smarter men
will jump up and pluck it all. Move.
Do something, no matter how small.
1t will be a starter. Help yourself and
others will help you. There is no roy
al path to success. Toll, grit, endur
ance-these are the requisites. Wake
up and see what you can do.

SAVE US FROM OUR NEIGHBORS.

There was rap at the back door
of New Auburn home where the
writer was on Wednesday in search oi
information regarding matter OF
public interest, and very small
girl entered with tin pail.
Marin says, said she, that she
guessed your wash'll look like time
when it's took in. It's gettin all
dirt and mud.
The woman made no reply. but
turned her attention to the writer.
And my ma says, continued the
little girl with the pail, that She d
think you'd want to see to your
close reel; it's all one sided and your
close hangs in the dirt.
Yes, child, said the lady of the
house. And marin says that she
wish't me to say to you that there's
blind up in your second story
that's fappin and that your cats
over to our house an amt been fed
tor week, and that your boy Joe
amt been to school for more'n ten
days, and that if that flour you lent
her is the best you've got she don't
see how you make any bread that's
fit to eat, and that she wish't you'd
let me have ball O. butter if its
good. Mann wanted me to say,
too, that she thinks the shingles
must be leakin water into your upper
chamber on the 'front.' side
Seems to me, said the woman,
with forced smile, as the child
went out, that I've got the obliginest
neighbors woman ever had.

INGERS0LL ON LINCOLN,


The Great Orator speaks in HIS Native
state About Her Greatest son.
Lincoln did msrcIfuI things as stealth
lily as others committed crimes. AlmC St
ashamed oftenderness, he said and did
the nobIest words and deeds with that
charming confusion, that awkardness,
that is the perfect grace Of modesty.
A great man STOPPING, not wishing to
make his fellows feel that they were
small or mean.
By his candor, by his Kindness, by
his perfect freedom from restraint, by
saying what he thought, and saying it
absolutely in his own way, he made it
not only possible, but popular, TO be
natural. He was the enemy of mock
solemnity, Of the stupidity respectabl,,
OF the cold and formal.
He wore no Official robes either on
his body or his soul. He never pre-
tended to be more or less or otner OF
different from what he really was. He
had the unconscious naturainess ofna-
tures self.
He was neither tyrInt nor slave. He
neither kneIt nJr scorned. With HIM,
men were neither great nor small
they were right or wrong. Through
manners, clothes, titles, rags and race
he saw the real--that which is. Be-
yond accident, policy, compromise and
war he saw the end.
He was patient as destiny, whose
undecipheraOle hieroglyphs were so
deeply craven on his sad and tragic
face. Nothing dlscloses his real char
acter like the use of power. 1t is easy
tor the weak to be gentle. Most peo-
pie can bear adversely. But if you
wish to know what man really is give
HIM power. This is the supreme test.
1t is the glory of Lincoln that, having
almost absolute power, he never abused
1t except on the side OF mercy. Wealth
could not purchase, power could not
awe, this divine, this loving man.
He knew no fear except the fear of
doing wrong. Hating slavery, plying
the master-Seeking to conquer, not
persons, but prejudices-he was the
embodiment of the self denial, the
courage. the hope and the nobility OF
nation. He spoke not to paame, not
to upbraid, but to convince. He rais-
ed his hands, not to strike, but In bene.
diction.
He longed to pardon.
He loved to see the pearls of joy on
the cheeks Of wife who husband he
had rescued from death.
Lincoln was the grandest figure Of
the fiercest war. He is the gentlest
memory of our worId.-R. G. Mgcy-

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
The Earliest Celebrations IN Honor of the
Father of His Country.

The Earliest Celebrations In Honor of the
Father of His Country.
1t was IN 1893, during Washington's
administration, that the idea of observ-
ing his birthday with public demonstra-
tons originated. The ladies connect
ed with what has been wrongly called
the "Repubhcan Court" were first to
encourage the idea, and dinners and
balls were proposed, while some spe-
clal testimonial to the chief was advised.
But storm of opposition arose from
sions to belittle the first Presidents
claim TO anything personal in the way of
homage or attention. They declared
that to celebrate the day would be
but the beginning of a monarchy.
They stormed and rsved, and said
many bitter and unjust things of the
man whose fidelity, skill, patience, and
endurance had let them out of bondage.
But the other side won the day, and
February 22, 1898, the 6Ist birthday
of George Washington, was celebrated
with some display, but not SO gener
ally as in the years which followed.
4 g., l1tn ,haf
of retirement from his exciting public
life, a birthday celebration occurred
which we'll deserves recording. Then
occurred which we'll deserves record
ing. The opposition to honoring Feb
ruary 22 had quite died away, and all
hands and hearts and heads Joined in
in making this festival of / 797 as brilli
ant as possible. In an old letter |
have seen there is an account of the
days festivities, written by a young
matron to her absent husband, which
her great grandchildren carefully pre-
serve to-day, together with the fan she
carried on that memorable occasion.
The afternoon was devoted to what was
then called drawing room"-like

and Mrs. Washington received their
friends. at was," says another eye
witness, affecting beyond ali express
ion by its being in some degree part
ing scene. Mrs. Washington was
| moved to tears. | never saw the Pres
ident look better or IN finer spirits.
But his emotions were too powerful to
be concealed. He could sometimes
scarcely speak" The lady | have
quoted went ''grandly dressed" to the
ball given in the evening at the Pnila
delphia Amphitheatre. The crowd
was tremendous. When the President
and his wife appeared cheers rent the
air. 1t was the greatest ovation he had
ever received. Nor did the homage
end with the bull. After The President
was in bed and asleep band serenad-
ed hun, repeating Yankee Doodle"
five times, hoping to arouse him, but
he must have had very easy con
science, as he slept through it all, and
was amazed and mortified on being
told of it next day Prom Harbey's
