WAS SHERMAN INSANE?
Statement by Father Sherman Concerning
Lincoln's Suspension of the General.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal

Special TO the indianapolis Journal
ST. LOUIS. Feb. 12.-Father Thomas Sher-
man. the Jesuit delivered a lecture last
night before the Sherman Memorial Asso-
ciation on the domestic life of his distin-
guishef father. the late General Sherman.
He made one statement which will be TO.
ceiyed with surprise by great many people
in this country. He said that when Mr..
Lincoln suspended his father from a mill
tary command during the war it was pure
ly on the ground that the General was in
sane. The Generals friends went to Wash
iugton to protest against the suspension.
Among them was the Generals father-in-
law, Mr.. Ewing. MIR. Lincoln frankly told
them he could not restore the General, as it
was evident from papers before him that
the soldier was undoubtedly insane. Mr..
Ewing was shown the papers. and scarcely
had he looked 8t them when be declared
that they were not original copy. but gar
bled extracts. Mr.. Lincoln was induced to
reopen the case and. as a result, the General
was restored within a few hours.

hands with this instrument of torture.
while the victim screamed and writhed

child told him the story. but her complaints
fell upon deaf ears.

LINCoLN's TENDER NATURE.
Referring to Lincoln's gentleness. Col.
Ingersoll said: Men submitted to him as
they submit 30 nature-unconsciously. He
was severe with himself, and for that
reason lenient with others. He appeared
to apologize for being kinder than his fell
lows. He did merciful things as stealthiIy
as others committed crimes. Almost
ashamed of tenderness, he said and did the
nobiest words and deeds with that charm
ing confusion, that awkwardness that Is

thought and saying It absolutely In bis own
way. he made 1t not only possible. but
popular to be natural. He was the enemy
of nook solemnity. of the stupidity re-
spectacle. of the cold and formal"
At other points in his lecture the orator
said: Lincoln had the unconsci ous natu-
ralness of natures self. Through
manners, clothes, titles. rags and race he

the end. He was patient as des-

pie can bear adversely. But if you wish to
know what q man really is, give him pow
or. This is the supreme test. 1t is the
glory of Lincoln that having almost abso-
lutte power. he never abused it except on
the side of mercy"
Colonel Ingersoll concluded his oration
as follows: Wealth could not purchase,
power could not awe this divine, this low
ing man. He knew no fear, except that 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
nobility of o nation. He spoke not to in
flame, not to upbraid. but TO convince. He
raised 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 q
wife whose husband he had rescued from
death. Lincoln was the grandest figure of
the fiercest civil war. He is the gentlest
memory of our world"

THERE is a deliberate scheme in the

treaty for the annexation of Hawaii. A
few papers Of both political parties have
declared against the step, but many Of
the wisest men regard it as the best
thing that can be done in the premises.
We must declare our rights in the Paci,

1t was on the Stormy division OF the
c. B. and @. it happened, when Superin-
tendent Dugan's jurisdiction embraced
that division. Tie east bound passen-
ger train. then called the Cannon Ball,
had on board five corpscs, through
from Denver, in Charge of the train
baggage IA Il was in juno. ana the
weather was hot. The baggage man find
ing the atmosphere in the baggage car be-
coming undesirable moved three boxes
containing Il cr:I~e each to the plat
form Of his c"" uutsilc. one Oh top of
the other.
As the train was nearing Ottuinwa,
the baggage man upon looking ont was
Mortified to discover one of the boxes
missing. Surmising that one of the boxes
had slid of in rounding Il curve. owing
to the high rate Of speed the train had
been running. he wired Superintendent
Dugan Immediately upon arrival Of the
train at Ot!ulnwa. appri,ing him Of the
loss. DugaM H.irc,i the section foreman
at OttuiH"J ~, follows:
"patIiCl; McGaun-Louk for corpse
lost off Cannon Ball three miles west of
Ottumwa and report condition of same
when found"
Patrick Immediately started cut with
the section gang, and found the box in
tact and brought the same to Ottumwa.
1t was seldom that Patrick received or
ders direct from the superintendent, the
roadmaster being his immediate supe-
rior. Consequently Patrick concluded
the time to win promotion had arrived,
and after reading Dugan's telegram over
for the twentieth time wired his super
intendent as follows:
"Mishter Doogun-I hev found the
%koropse, and the koropse was ded."
The operators expostulationS were IN
vain, and Patrick would permit no
change in the message, saying:

The Germans have some educational
ideas which we i'll this country have Dor.
rowed with profit, and there are still
others which we might be wise to adopt.
Among them 10 doubt are the wal
maps of different species of pestiferous
weeds, which hang in schoolrooims where
the children can see them as long as they
go to school.
A practical idea underlies the display.
ing of these maps. 1t is well known
that farmers are prone to treat all weeds
alike, and hardly to observe any differ
ence between them, whereas the natures
of weeds differ as much as the natures
of other plants Go. and the sort of
treatment which will exterminate one
will sometimes increase and multiply
another.
1t is important therefore that the farm
err and gardener should understand the
weeds which they are trying to cXtermi-
nate.
1t is here that these German wall
maps come in. They show colored pic
lures of the most pestiferous weeds. in
all stages of growth, and also the ways
in which they scatter their seeds and
propagate themselves. BY learning them
thoroughly, through seeing them day by
day OF the walls, the child grows up
with IL knowledge Of the best way to en-
terminate them.-Nouth's Companion.

Rainfall i'm hustra;ia,

Australia Gems 10 have had an IN
usual rainfall this year, though it does
not equal that of 1890, when. according
TO ii report just issued by the govern
ment astronomer of New South Wales,
the average for the whole colony was
32.15 inches. or 1916 per cent. greater
than the average of the sixteen preced-
ing years. Forests do not seem to have
aided i'll cloud precipitation, for while a
densely timbered region the amount was
$3.50 inches. the mean Of nine of the
nearest stations in az open country was
IS. 92 inches.
Elevation, however, has a marked in
fuence on rainfall. At Wallagong,
half q mile from the sea, at an elevation
of sixty-seven feet, 1884 inches fell,
while at Cordeaux river, six miles from
the sea, it is 55.53 inches. -Mediter-
