The prince was an ardent admlrer OF
the fair hostess, as were scores OF other
distinguished men who were brought
within the sphere of her influence.

lovely belle in the care Of the White

the look of pc tient suffering on The no

more than whispered, was due to other
causes besides those of the weight Of
public anxiety.
A story illustrative Of the domestic
life of that great man came to me very
direct from high Official OF Linco!n'S
administration. He desired to secure a
consulate for friend and consulted
Mrs Lincoln as to when would be the

give him that it will be good time to
ask him" 1t all happened as arranged.
The gentleman went to the White house
to dinner. The dessert was fresh and
beautiful strawberries. Mir. Lincoln
ate the portion 10 which his wife helped
him and pushed aside his plate with a
little sigh.
Father, won't you have another dish
of strawberries" said his wife, with an
expressive glance at the guest, who,
controlling his inclination to laugh.
made his request for the consulship and
got it.
Mrs. Lincoln was very fond of gay
ETY.. She preferred the society of her
Western friends. The old residents Of
Washington held aloof from the White
house during her years there, and the
social gatherings in the wide reception
looms were decidedly democratic in
character.

Generous Coal Rarons.

City Weighmaster Mosher made a
round of all the coal yards yesterday for
the purpose Of ascertaining how much
cause there was for the many complaints
that have been made recently concerning
short weight. When he returned to the
city hail Mr.. Mosher stated he had been
agreeably surprised. for, in almost every
instance, he had found the coal dealers
actually giving over weight. Out of
the forty-three loads weighed by him
self he found but one short in weight,
and that one but twenty pounds. On
the olher hand he found one load to
contain seventy-fve pounds over
weight, and another one fifty pounds.
He attributes this generosity on the part
of coal dealers to the fear of the deputy
weighmasters. who, ever since the ar
rest of the one in the employ of the
Peoples Coal company, have insisted
upon the loads containing even more
than was actually necessary, in order
that the city authorities might have no
cause for complaint.

Sudden Departure of r. s. Good
fellows Eastern Partner.
R. S. Goodfellow was notified yester-
day of the sudden death of his partner,
Winfield S. Ray, at Ormond, Flae. The
news was shock to Mr.. Goodfellow, as
he did not know that Mr.. Ray was even
ill.
Mr.. Ray left Minneapolis only week
ago last Friday. He came here about
the middle of January, and remained
through the annual stock taking. On
the way to Minneapolis from his home
iii Brooklyn he left his family in Flor
ida, whittier he returned as soon as the
years business OF Goodfellow q Co.
had been closed up. w lille here he
seemed to be in the best of health. The
first intimation Mr.. Goodfeilow had of
his illness was telegram yesterday
announcing his death of pneumonia.
Winfield S. Ray was born in New
York about forty-five years ago. He has
always been connected with the dry
goods trade in New York. In 1870,
when the dry goods business of K. 5.
GoOdfellow was established In Mime
apolis, Mr.. Ray became the Eastern
buyer of the house. Seven years ago he
was made one of the firm. Since
that time he has been in charge of tue
firms business in the Eastern markets.
Although he made his home III Brook
Ign, n. Y. he was well known among
Minneapolis business men. He usually
spent couple of months of each year
in this city. He was highly regarded
by all who knew him. lie leaves

sad phase of his sudden death is that

visit to the intersection of Central ave-
nue. and Broadway for the purpose of
looking over the much-discussed rail-
road crossings. The aldermen came to
the decision that it would be an imposi-
ton upon the property owners and resi-
dents in the vicinity TO build a bridge
over the tracks, instead OF viaduct.
The lots are already four feet lower than
the railroad tracks. and to build the
bridge the required height would bring
the property down nearly thirty feet be-
low the bridge railing. 1t was plainly
seen that vfaduct was the one thing
necessary, and the aldermen mentioned
will FAVOR one when it comes before the
council.

Danz's Concert Today.

The programme for the fifth concert
by the DAM orchestra at Harmonic hall
this afternoon is strong one. and the
appearance Of Prof. Porter as the vocal
sooist will prove very acceptable. The
seating capacity of the hall has been
increased by the addition of two hum
dred chairs, SO it is hoped that no one
will be obliged to stand, as was the case
at the last concert. Prof. Danz espe-
cially requests, however, that his
patrons come sufficiently early so that
all can be seated by $3.50 o'clock, when
the concert begins. The programme in

"HOLD YOUR WHEAT"
What G. A. Pillsbury Says of the
Latest Story.

G. A. Plllsbury strikes back at the
promulgator of the latest story about
the famous Hold Your Wheat" circu-
lar OF July, 1891. The Chicago Herald,
in reprinting the story of that circular
and how it was issued, presumably at
the instigation of Hugo Matterloth. says
that G. A. Pillsbury was the lnsngator
of the circular. The Herald says that at
the time the circular was issued Mr..
Pillsburv was long on wheat in the Chi
cago market, and that he had 100000
bushels of surplus wheat stored in the
Plllsbury- Washburn elevators. His idea
in having the circular printed, the
Herald says, was to bull the price of
wheat in Chicago, and also unload his
actual holdings in the elevators. The
Herald further states that Mottuloth
suggested the circular, that Pillsbury
caught at the project and put up the
money, and that Mattuloth engineered
the project.
c. A. PiIIsbury yesterday denied the
story most vigorously. lie says he never
heard OF the circular until it was in
print and was being distributed. lie

CHARLIE AMEs' DEATH.
No One Can Find Out What
Caused 1t.

Caused 1t.
Mystery surrounds the death of the
late Charles G. Ames. son Of Dr.. A. A.
Ames, of Minneapolis. When the news
came to Minneapolis of his death near
Seattle, Wash, it was said that he
suffered a fall from telegraph
pole while working as lineman.
That does not seem to. have
of his death, about month and half
ago. was accepted as true until the body
was brought to Minneapolis for burial
last week. Examination of the body
fails to show any cause of death. Moth
ing indicates that the young man was
killed by fall. Nor could his death
have been caused by the cold, else the
body would show some traces Of its eff
fects.
The young man was employed In look
ing after government telegraph lines.
Out in that country the wires are strung
on trees, from which it would be diff
cult for a man to fall. He left home one
day to do some work, apparently in
good health. When he did not return
that night no alarm was felt. as ne
sometimes remained away all night
when working some distance away.

ing him home. Then some men
who were employed at the same kind of
work searched for him. He vas found
stone dead at the foot Of tree on which
he had been working. He lay on his
back in the snow, with arms out
stretched. No marks of violence were
visible on the body. The first conJec-
ture was that the neck had been broken
by a fall. Examination shows that the
neck is as sound as ever 1t was. No
bones were broken. The internal
organs were all found to be
in a normal condition. When no
broken bones or internal injuries were
found it was thought that heart disease
might have been the cause of death:
But the heart is all right, TOO, as sound
as heart could be.
The cause of death, or probable cause,
is all the more mysterious because no
motive for foul play can be guessed.
Moreover, foul play usually leaves some
indications of its infiiction. The case is
50 mysterious that the relatives Of the
young man will probe still deeper.
