 It couldn't be dye, either, because in that case the black hair and beard wouldn't have been streaked with gray.
 Queer place to find pictures, maybe, but the Lincoln bank has lot of fine ones. One of the best portraits oi Lincoln in existence is there. It was loaned for banquet at Delmonico's re, gently and came near being burned up Then there is one of Robert Lincoln and another of his son, Abraham, q bright, manly looking lad, whose sad death little while ago will be rcmeIn bercd.

 The funny thing is that everybody who tries it likes it. No sooner is the bugbear beheld face to face than straightway it develops the features of a friend. It's so new that it's pictur- esque, that's the secret of it, a secret whose importance cannot be overesti- mated. One or two New York dress makers are making costumes to be worn over hoops. All of them are making costumes to be stiffened with horsehair. The progress may be from horsehair back to limp skirts, but the progress in former crinoline periods has been from horsehair to steels. But time will tell.

he union army, and at the beginning of Cleveland's first term was appointed to n position in the service, where his qualifications as a detective were soon recognized. In a short time he was as signed to take charge of the western district, having headquarters in Chi cago. There he remained. Tho pres ent administration felt compelled to re tain him, as the affairs of the United States secret service are so delicate that the chief of the division must. of neces- sity, be n man of experience.
 Porter is a cool hand and is well worthy of promotion. One of the most important captures of recent years was effected through his efforts. During dollar was circulated throughout the country and so well was it executed that the bank tellers and even the ex- pertS of subtreaSuries accepted speci- mems as genuine. Capt. Porter located the counterfeiting mill in Chicago. ar rested the manufacturers, seized the dies and outfit and secured the counterfeit CTS conviction. No known effort has since been made to make similar counterfeit until recently 1t was tried in Utah.
 For twenty years the different chiefs of the United States secret service have been selected from the ranks. First James J. Brooks was promoted to the chiefship and he was succeeded by John s. Bell, of Newark, N. J., who had served an apprenticeship in the New Jersey district, and he in turn was sue. ceeded in office by the present chief. A. L. Drummond, of New York, who was an agent of the service for years before his promotion to the head of the di vision.

Great Northern Railroad Lahorer seri-
Ously Wounded IT skykomish.
Excitement ran high in Skykomish on
Friday morning, and John Dowd had q
narrow escape from being lynched for
shooting J. NJ. Murphy. . COOK in tho
Cascade saloon.
Dowd had been carousing all Thursday
night with . number Of railway laborers.
In the course of the evening he quarrelcd
with . man named Brown, but
they were separated, and in the
struggle 22-calibrc pistol fell from his
pocket. Dowd was then taken by his
friends to room over tho saloon and put
to bed.
About 9:39 on Friday morning he came
down stairs, still under the influence of
his nights spree. and met Murphy at the
foot Of the stairs. He went directly up to
him. pressed 3s Smith 4 Wssson to his
stomach and shot him through the body,
saying:
"You ----, you were in il, too"
Murphy threw his arms around Dowd's
neck and held him until the barkeeper got
the pistol away from him. Then, pressing
his hands to his stomach, he staggered out
Of the door and to his room, where he was
treated by DR.. Corson, tho doctor for the
Great Northern.
In the meantime Dowd had been
secured by the men in the barroom, and J.
J. Casey, the constable, was sent for and
took him before Justice Tempe. The evil
dence Of Walter Redmond. . tsamstsr,
Dan Croner. half owner of the restaurant
in the saloon, and Robert Lord. the bar
keeper, was taken by the justice, a.
was also . statement by Murphy
that there had been no previous
trouble between him and Dowd.
Dowd Was refused bail by tho justice and
was brought TO tho county Jail by Consta-
BILE Casey at about 6 o'clock yesterday
evening. Dowd il rather short and not
heavily built, with . dark complexion,
hair and eyes. When asked what he had
to say in regard to tho shooting, he de-
clined to speak and was taken to his cell.
Murphy's condition il said to BE- danger
Gus. but not necessarily fatal, although
the bullet drove part of tho rib into his
lungs, causing him to bleed freely at tho
mouth. If he had died soon after the
shooting. as was expected, it would proba-
bly, have gone hard with Dowd, as MUIR
ply il well known and popular. and does
not bear the reputation Of being quarrel
soma.
