The Pew In Which Lincoln Worshiped.

dent Lincoln sat and worshiped has be en-
hidden from public gaze, confined in one
OF the bible class rooms in the Sunday
school Of the New York avenue Pres
byterian church, Washington, d. G.
Last week the congregation decided to
remove one Of the new pews and put
Lincoln's in its stead. to BE- used by
the pastors family. During the meet.
ing suggestion was made that that the
platform upon which the pulpit or desk
stands would be the likelier place for it.
At this point Pastor Bartlett said: "As
to placing this pew upon the platform,
would gladly welcome it there. 1t
would be to me an inspiration. There
is no greater religious relic in the world
and no greater relic any where, than this
pew where Abraham Lincoln sat to wor-

Pierre dispatch, Is: Gov. Sheldon this
morning sent a telegram tos the states
attorney of Kingsbury county revoking
his ffteen-day reprieve to Thompson,
who was was sentenced to have been
hung last Saturday. The reprieve was
granted on the affidavit of his physician,
who claimed that he had examined
Thompson in June preceding the murder,
and that he was then insane. This
physician now admits that he was mis-
taken and that it was in March that he
examined him. At the trial testimony
it was presented tending to show that
Thompson was insane in March; hence
this is not 9 testimony, and it would
now be impossible to get a new trial
Thompson's attorney, who secured the
reprieve, admitted his case was now
hopeless and was the first one to ask the
governor to revoke his reprieve, which
he has done. A new order of the court
will now have to be secured before
Thompson can be hung.
