while many rushed to the Presidents
box There Lincoln was found, the
blood pouring from his death wound,
while Major Rathbone was discovered
to have been wounded in the side by
the assassin's knife. Tenderly was

Lincoln's assassination.
The assassination of Lincoln was
the sudden result of plot in which
several desperate men were engaged.
They conspired to abduct President
Lincoln, but the closing of the war
rendered this impracticable. Then
those who were most influential
abandoned the matter, but there
were still some who resolved on
bloody and violent measures. Chief
Of these were John Wilkes Booth,
AtZrott. and Payne. These men re-
solved to assassinate Lincoln, Grant,
and Seward. Booth was chosen to
assassinate the President, Atzrott was
to murder Grant, while Payne was
to make away with Secretary Seward.
Booth, on the fatal evening, knowing
that the President was in the the
alter, went to the box office and, pro-
ducing card, told the attendant
that Lincoln had sent for him. He
was allowed access to the COR
ridor on which Lincoln's box
opened without question. He
quietly bored a gimlet hole IN
the box door, and so obtained a view
of his victim. Then he pulled pis-
tol and fired AS the President sank
back unconscious Booth dashed into
the box, and drawing a long knife
stabbed Mai. Rathbone, who had
grappled with him. Suddenly he let
go his hold and leaped to the stage.
Notwithstanding his broken leg
Booth reached the street. being as
sisted by Ned Spangler, stage car
penter, who was in the plot. Here a
horse was in waiting for him, and he
rode thirty miles into Maryland.
There he stopped to have his leg set
by DR.. Mudd, another conspirator.

Utilization of Coal Dust.

The London Times gives an &C
count of a process by which anthra-
cite coal bricks are now being manu-
featured by the London Coal Brick
Syndicate. The bricks are made of
grains of anthracite dust, which are
forced to cohere by means of a spe-
cial cementing compound and by
great pressure. The coal dust is
mixed with the binding material in
the proportion of 95 per cent of the
former to per cent. of the latter.
The compound is fed into a mixer,
where it meets a jet Of steam, stiff
paste being formed, which is deliy-
cred successfully into a series of
molds under pressure Of $500
weight AS the mold plate revolyes
the charge in each mold is brought
between two rams, which exert a
pressure of two tons per square inch
on each side of the charge, forming a
very dense and homogeneous coal
brick. The brick, still in the mold,
passes on to the delivery ram, by
which it is pushed out on to table,
and is removed for the market.
These coal bricks are said to make an
excellent fuel, and to possess very
high efficiency for steam-raising pur-
poses. The Times thinks that with
such a fuel at the disposal Of the
public there is room to hope for re-
duction in the pollution of the at
mosphere of towns.

the most tragic as well as the most
pathetic incident in all our national
shistory. The superstitious may see

the brother of Lincoln's murderer, the

CamnhOr Poisoning.

CamphOr is a household remedy
put to many purposes. The medlcl-
nal uses are principally in headache,
cold in the head, and in nausea and
fainting. In such cases camphor in
solution is held to the nose, and the
yapor inhaled. AS long as it is used
in this way it can do no harm; but,
unfortunately, many people take it
internally in some form or other,
and often run some risk in doing so.
Camphor as medicine is generally
used by laymen either in the form of
the spirit of camphor or as camphor
water. But few know wherein these
differ; hence, one OF the greatest
dangers attending the drug. Spirits
of camphor is made of camphor ten
parts, alcohol seventy parts, and
water twenty parts; the dose of this
is from five to ten drops: whereas
camphor water as now usually made,
is water filtered through cotton moist
ened with a strong tincture of cam
phor; the dose of this is from tea
spoonful to a tablespoonful. 1t is
easy to see how unfortunate it would
be were one to mistake the spirit for
the water of camphor, and take it in
the usual dose of the latter.
In overdoses, camphor eXcites
symptoms referable to the brain.
There is giddiness and sleepiness,
and, in extreme cases, fainting, de-
lirium, commissions and profound
stupor occurs. Considering how wide
it's use. it is reasonable to suppose
that deaths sometimes occur in con-
sequence of poisonous doses of cam
phor, which are attributed to other
causes. Just how much is required
to kill is not known; but one author
states that 30 grains have caused
death in an infant, and 1914 grains in
a woman. OF course, the greatest
danger attends it's use in children.
All things considered, camphor is
an agent which should be limited to
external use and to inhalations, I'M
less ordered by physicians.

A Gentle Hint.

The attorney had made motion
for new trial in civil action, and
the Judge looked it over carefully.
"Um,' he said, thoughtfully, cum,
this sets forth that the verdict was
unsupported by the evidence, was
contrary to the evidence, was against
the weight of the evidence, and that
the evidence was insufficient to sup
port the verdict as to any or all of
the issues; because of errors of the
Justice in admitting or excluding
evidence, errors of law in the in
structions to the jury, and in bills Of
exceptions.

ney
"And do you believe it?"
Certainly / do"
"Well, WE'LL" and the Judge grew
sympathetic, "it's pity that the
Judge, attorneys, officials, jury, and
witnesses in that court don't know
as much as you do. It really is, be-
cause if they did it would save me
great deal of worry and bother.
Wouldn't you like to have job as
court instructor, or something Of
that sort?"

FIRST TO SAIL TO CHICAGO,
1t Was the Schooner Tracy, Which Arrived
There Ninety Years Ago.

There Ninety Years Ago.
The first vessel that arrived in this
port was the schooner Tracy, in the
as master, says writer in the De-
troit News. This vessel was either
owned or chartered by the govern
ment, and conveyed Captain John
Whistler, U. S. A., and his command,
together with supplies and material
for the construction of fort at the
mouth of the Chicago River. He
built Fort Dearborn, which was To-
Gated at the point which is now the
corner of Michigan avenue and River
street. Captain Whistler remained
at this post, ] think, until 1909 or
1910. when he was relieved by Cap
tain Head and ordered to report at
Detroit, and was with General Hull
at the time of the surrender in 1912.
Captain Whistler was the father
of the late Mrs. Judge James Abbott,
Mrs. Major Hamilton, and Mrs. Cap
tain Phelan, all old residents of De-
troit. Mrs. William r. Wood, another
daughter, was we'll known in the
early society Of Detroit as young
lady. She was born in Fort Dearborn
about the year 1905. Colonel William
Whistler, son of the Captain, will
also be remembered by many old De-
troiters, having been stationed there
with his regiment for several years.
General .. S. Grant was lieutenant
in his regiment at the time. The
judge and Mrs. Abbott were married
at Fort Dearborn, and their bridal
trip was made from Chicago to De-
'troit on horseback. They camped
out at night and followed the Indian
trai, which was afterward known as
the Territorial road, through Michi-
gan. The steamers Sheldon Thomp-
son and William Penn were the first
steamers that stirred the waters Of
Chicago harbor. They arrived here
together on July 8, 1881, having on
board General Winfield Scott and
soldiers for the Black Hawk war

Diphtheric Poison from Apples.

Attention is called to the fact that
apples stored in cellars or elsewhere
are invariably covered with mold or
mildew-often invisible, but just as
real. The mold consists mostly Of
microscopic plants, including numer-
Gus species of fungi, all of which are
more or less poisonous. Physicians
say they have traced cases of diph-
liberia in children to the use Of
moldy apples. Mothers are in the
habit of giving little children apples
to play with, and the babies try to
eat them. In such cases the mold
should be carefully removed from
the apples. Troy Times

Lincoln, though probably not of the
one to kill him. Her son was also
thought at the time to be concerned
in the murder. Other conspirators
were Mclaughlin and Harold, the
last of whom was a somewhat weak
minded young man, who helped by
having a horse in readiness for Booths
escape from the theater. These all
were brought to punishment. Atz-
rott, Payne. Harold, and Mrs. Surratt
were hanged; DR. Mudd, Ned
Spangler and Mclaughlin were sent
to the Dry Tortugas. Mrs. Surratt's
son escaped to Canada, Eventually
he was discovered serving in the
Papal Zouaves. He was tried, but
was found to have been innocent of
any attempt at murder, and was &C
quilted.
