Walt whitman and Lincoln.


A year ago, on the Goth of March, 1892,
Walt Whitman died 1t will be OBJ
served by those who note such things
that he went from life near the same
time of year when, in 1865, President
Lincoln was assassinated That assas-
sination Whitman witnessed with his
own eyes and never recovered from
the horror Of it. He loved Lincoln prob
ably more than he ever did any other
human being except his mother. He
seems to have comprehended with a
poets intuition the greatness Of LincoIn's
character before the rest of the world
understood it.
OF the scene in the theater he wrote
that it 'transpired with the quietness
and simplicity of an everyday occur
renee" The confusion. the terror, noise
and despair came later, and of this Whit
man writes, I'm the midst Of it the life
blood from those veins, the best and
sweetest in the land, dripped slowly
down" After Walt had in some measure
recovered his calm he wrote the poem
about Lincoln which he named Captain,
My Captain" Whatever views critics
and readers may entertain about Whit
mans other poetic productions, there is
only one judgment of high appreciation
for this one.
Whitman said that all the portraits he
had seen of Lincoln were failures, most
of them caricatures. "Of technical
beauty the countenance had nothing, but
to the eye of master painter it fur
nished rare study, feast and a fas-
cination." He studied Lincoln's face and
said once. When he bows and smiles,
notice in his eyes the latent sadness that
is always there. Our readers viii like to
read again the poem Captain. Ny Cap
tain
o captain. my captain. oer fearful trip is done
The snip has weathersd every rack. the prize
We sought u wu1-
The port IS near, the bells hear, the people al
emitting.
whls follow eyes the steady keel the vessel
grim and daring
But o heart heart heart
o the bleeding dr0ps Of red.
Where on the deck ny captain lies.

o captainl my captain! rise up and hear the
bells;
Rise up-for you the flag is flung. for you the
bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribooned wreaths, for
yaa the shores A-crowding
For you they call. the swaying mass, the eager
faces turning;
Here, captain. dear father
This arm beneath your head;
Ii is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.
Ny captain does not answer; his lips are pale
and still.
Ny father does not feel my arm; he has nor
pulse nor will;
The ship IS anchored safe and sound, It's voyage
closed and done
From fearful trip the victor ship comes In with

But l. with mournful tread,

The London Daily Chronicle says that
Mr.. Cleveland is IN exception TO the
common run of presidents in that he dares
In his inaugural to address the American
people in words other than those Of
"sprawling iattery." SPRAYING fat
terry is phrase almost good enough to
be put alongside of that lately coined by
the editor Of The Globe Democrat. EN-

aud he applied it to the expression of
certain politicians over an appointment

| had dog named Chris. One day
papa and mamma went out riding, and
the dog went with them. As they went
around corner three miles from home,
the carriage tipped over and threw them
out, and then the carriage righted itself,
the lines dragging under the carriage.
The dog, who was under the carriage,
pulled the lines with his teeth and tried
to stop the horse from running and
could not. Then he ran to the horses
head and kept jumping, nipping him in
the nose, so he stopped running and
walked. Every time he tried to run the
dog kept on in that way for two miles
uutil a policeman stopped him. Ever
after, so long as he lived, whenever the
horse would start mp suddenly, Chris
would go right to the horses head

Mrs. Cleveland's announcement that
she would not wear erinoline, but
would use hair cloth instead, has caused
the latter article TO nearly double in
price. One New York house has cor
nered all the hair cloth in the country.
There is not enough of this goods to
supply the demand, and it is expected
to 90 up as long as the fashion prevails.

DANT CONDEMNED.
Contractor for the Ford's Theater
Alterations Held Responsible
for the Disaster.
For Its Share Of Con-
demnntiOn.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Contractor
George w. Dant was severely coll
demned by the evidence given today at
the coroner's inquest over the remains
Of the Ford's theater victims, although
some of those who gave testimony
against his methods spoke highly OF his
ability as a practical mechanic and
brickiayer. The United States gov
ernment also came in for its share of
condemnation for its method OF doing
work. Several expert witnesses tes
titled that contractors did not care to
do work for the government. George
w. Jones, contractor and builder, said
the government did not want skilled
men to execute its contracts and 1t
would not pay fair price for good
work. So c0ndemnatory OF Contractor
Dant's work beneath the theater were
the statements of some Of the experts
that the Jurors made inquiries OF the
witnesses giving this testimony as to
the state of Mr.. Dant's mind.
At the afternoon session j. X. lmbrec,
who was in charge of the second floor
in the old theater building, was exam
ined OH matters affecting the conduct OF
business in the record ana pension
office, and Col. AinSworth's relations to
his clerks. Mr.. Imbrec requested that
he be allowed TO testify tending to show
that Col. Ainsworth knew or the dan
gerous condition of the old building. To
bis knowledge, he said, the clerks were
not generally apprehenslve of danger,
and no complaints had been made to him
in this connection. Such complaints
would 60 through him to Col. Aims
worth. Mr.. Imbrec said Col. Ainsworth
was strict disciplinarian. and so was
Chief Freech, but the clerks were not
treated harshly except through the
operation of the strict discipline which
prevailed in the war department.. Col.
AinswOrth was not different in his
treatment OF clerks from other war
department officials. 1t was true
that there was not that confidence
between Col. AinsWorth and his clerks
that might have existed, but that could
not have prevented the clerks from
making their wants known. lie knew
of only one case where a man had COM
planned. 1t was a defect in the gas
pipe, and it had been remedied. A
young electrician named Swan said he
had inspected the excavation before it
collapsed, and it struck him that the
undermining was poor piece of work.
Adjourned until Monday, when the in
quest will probably be concluded.

SUFFERING FOR RAIN.
England and France Would We'll
come n Fall OF Moisture.

England and France Would Wei
come Fall Of Moisture.
LONDON, June 17.-It has been con-
siderable time since rain of any conse-
quence has fallen in Great Britain or
France. The drought has caused much
damage and suffering. The great IN
dustrial and manufacturing center,
Manchester, is threatened with water
famine, and should this really occur it
would. aside from the distress it would
cause, entail heavy loss OH the mills.
which use enormous quantities or
water. In the greater part of Lanca-
shire, in which county Manchester is
situated, cattle, horses and sheep are
suffering for food, the grazing grounds
being badly parched. In many places
in the county the animals have been put
on short rations. Throughout the middle
counties and Southern England the hay
crop is reported to be total failure.
Peas have not podded and the vines are
being used as fodder. Vast areas of
vegetation are dead, and the loss to
farmers will be very great.
In France the drought has prevailed
in fOur.fifthS of the departments for
three months, and its effects during the
imagined. In many places fodder is
unobtainable, and cattle are actually
perishing for want of food Many own
ers Of cattle, having nothing to feed
them, are offering them for rsale at about
one-ffth the nominal prices, but even
at these rates they find no buyers, tor
every one around is as badly off as
themselves. The grape vines have
been burned up, and the parched grain
is falling from its withered stocks.
