WAWINGTON, Dec. 11.-There is 20 more
intervening structure in this city of historic
houses and buildings than the old brick
dwelling house which stands on Tenth
street, opposite Ford's theater IL is the
building in which Abraham Lincoln died.
The fact that it was the scene of such a
superlative tragedy was Eone sufficient to
cause the house to be marked as one of tire
famous buildings of the Capital City, and to
lead TO the erection upon its dingy facade
Of marble tablet announcing in simple
language the cause of its celebrity. As the
scene of Lincoln's death it has been visited
by thousands upon thousands of people,
and mas long been regarded as one of the
regulation show places of the city. But
now it is infinitely more interesting than it
ever was before. In the old house is now
installed a most admirable collection of
Lincolnonia.
Some months ago a memorial association
was formed here, with Chief Justice Fuller
as president and a number of prominent
men in its membership. The object of the
society was to preserve and properly mark

In it the artist has pretended that ne is

There is tn" bed, with Mr.. Lincoln lying
upon it in his death ,h.,"-. aud surround
ing him are the physicians and the members
OF his family. Remembering his fraudulent
pretensc Of the Use OF Il camera, the artist
draws all his figures with their faces turned
toward the instrument all but the phy-i-
cian, who alone of all the company is pay
ing attention to the patient. The others are
more Interested in having their picture
took by Our special artist than they
are in the fate of ruler Of "A nation. This
would be comical if it. were not Il travesty
upon so great a tragedy. One feature alone
of the 50 called photograph would stamp 1t
as an imposture, If any proof OF It's traudu-
lent character were needed. In the 50 called
photograph Mrs Lincoln is represented as
standing at the bedside of her husband,
while the facts are she was not present at
/ the ueatn scene NJ All one was ny Ms Sih'
a few moments after mis- removal from the
theater To the house, but her grief was sC
great as TO endanger her own life, and she
was led away to the executive mansion and
did not see Mr. Lincoln again till after his
death.
/ In this room are many other interesting
relies of Lincoln. In case near where
/ stood the head of the deathbcd are all the
biographies of Lincoln ever written. There
are in all 9S volumes, and they are in mosi
+ of the languages of earth. There Is her,
also "A collection of the dramas written OF
the assassination of Lincoln, many of which
were brought out in this and other cOun
tries during the year following that event
In the collection is a little book called Lin
coin StOries,' in paper covers, which man!
older readers will remember having seen il
circulation years ago. There is "A collection
of all the magazines which had articles OF
the death of Lincoln in them, and anOthe
group of newspaper headings, with thei
column rules turned and other marks o

or Oglesby and other old friends Of Lincoln
who were familiar with the circumstances
under which it was procured. This very
rail. which now hangs in the house where
Lincoln died, was carried into the Repub
licau state convention at Decatur, Ills, in
1850 on the shoulders of an enthusiastic
delepation from Lincoln's old home. The
convention was electrified. 1t split its
throat for the rail splitter and sent solid
delegation to the national convention IN
st-lcted to vote first, last and all the time
for the nomination of Lincoln to the presl-
dency.
Who knows that this piece OF oak, tied
up with ribbons and hung across the arch
way in this old fashioned, historic house,
did not change the history OF the human

A Cradle and a Rail.

One does not need to draw upon his stock
of sentiment to be touched by a relic which
stands in the back room. 1t is the Lincoln
family cradle, the same in which Mrs. Lin
coin rocked two of her children, Willie and
Tad. There are pieces of the rope which
hung the conspirators against the life OF
Lincoln, pieces of the curtain which. hung
in the theater box that fatal night, and in
which Booths foot caught as he jumped to
the stage, photographs of Lincoln's visit
to McClellan's headquarters at Antietam,
n series of cartoons concerning the great de
bate between Lincoln and Douglas, amask
of Lincoln's face and hands taken the morn
ing after he was informed of his nomina-
tion to the presidency, a number of bIsts
of Lincoln, a picture of the future president
taken when he was a young man, just be-
ginning his career as a lawyer, survey OF
- acres of land made by him in 1876, and'
most interesting of all to many visitors,

A Unique Collection.

Tniuue is a collection of 30 sermons
preached in this and other countries on the
death of Lincoln. A bookcase standing
near contains "A Thousand volumes relating
TO slavery, Lincoln and the war. There
are hundreds of Lincoln bronze medals,
Lincoln medals in all the metals and ma
terialS known to the art of medal making.
The most valuable of these is gold medal
which was presented to Mrs. Lincoln
after the death of her husband, by 10000
Frenchmen The medal was made in France,
but Napoleon III refused to permit copies
to be made therefrom. -Four copies were
made in Switzerland, however, and one OF
these Mr. OldrOyd bought for his collec-
ton. Large sums of money have been of
feed for it, but it cannot be bought
In the same room is the stuffed eagle
which adorned the catafalque which bore
/ Mr.. Lincoln's remains to the tomb at his
/ old home in Springfield. Here also, re
posing under a glass case, is the silk ha'
! which Mr. Lincoln wore to the theater tbs
night of the assassination. 1t is vener
able relic indeed. An old, awkward, bat
tered hat it is Two inches taller at leas
than the sill, hat of the present day, it ha'
longer fur, and at its corners shows the
material of which the frame Is composed
The brim is broad and fiaring, like that o
Quaker hat.
Visitors will be interested in the set o
furniture which Mr.. Lincoln bought whei
he went to housekeeping. There are a di
van. rocking chair and several smalle
chairs, all of mahogany and horsehair up

New Typo of Girl.

met a new type Of girl the other day,
and she was certainly refreshing. Girls
are all good deal alike as n general
thing, You know, and one does get SO
tired Of the same old stereotyped girl
sweet enough in her way, l grant you,
but with an eternal sameness that grows
rather irksor1ne.
She is q little witch TO begin with.
She will steal mans heart before he
knows it and then pretend not to know
it herself. This damsel is most attract
i've TO men, for, spite Of her originality,
she is adsptability personified. She seems
to be able to converse intelligently with
all sorts Of men and gets each fellows
fad at her finger tips too. She knows
more than many of her men friends, but
she never lets them suspect it. She
makes each believe that she learns so
much from him and depends SO much on
him. She is a very feminine, unassuln-
ing, natural sort Of little woman, with
something appealing about her.
But down under it all she is artful.
She has made study of men, and she
has prcfted by that study. Chicago

Marshall Wheeler, one of the best
known Of the great army of Pacific coast
scientists, claims to have discovered q
third principal motion of the EARTH"
which is this. Every 20,908 years the
globe changes its north and south poles
on account Of the attraction the earth
has for its own magnetism. The sun,
too, strongly attracts one of the polJs
and repels tho other. This being the
case, it only takes the short space of
20,9o3 years for the double attraction to
careen it over TO such an extent that 1t
suddenly ''fiops" go degrees. Mr.. Wheel
er says that one Of these grand ''aops"
occurred 5000 years ago, at the time set
down by the geologists as the ''glacial
epoch. st. Louis Republic.

She knows how many he receives Of

dainty stationery--the other girls--with

and they seem to like SO well to use it in

Why should he care If people know,
that the prettiest, sweetest girls on the

ohurohss as Places Of neruse IN war.

Our ancestors transacted good deal
of business Of one kind or another in and
about their churches. To. begin with,
the churches Of old England in turbulent
times were regarded as places of safe
custody for public and private property.
In the border land of England and Scot
land the iden yas carried out still more
completely, dnd churches, or at least
their towers, became regular fortresses
and not infrequently were objects of Of
lenses and defense We may note in
rural England that in the cases Of an
cient churches the towers are often not
merely disproportionate in size to the
rest Of the church, but are carefully and
strongly built, evidently with an object.
Even in peaceful Surrey and Sussex
the belfries are veritable strong rooms
with barred windows and massive doors
and often contain massive treasure
chest. Hither, at the FIRST alarm, money
and valuables were hurried, for beyond
the security Of thick walls and bars and
bolts there was an aegiB OF siEnctity
which in a superstitious age protected
the building from the most ruthless Of
foes. The fortresslilSe construction Of
many of the border land churches is an
interesting study to antiquarians. Lon

dc Plume Common Property.
A very interesting claim, in which
every author who uses signature is
moro or less concerned, was ignomini-
ously dismissed by Judge Lacombe in
the United States circuit court. As I
understand it, o mediocre book was pub
hshed in this city purporting to have been
written by Alan Dale, the nom dc plume
of one of the brightest and cleverest Of
New York's younger literary rne1l. AS
matter of fact, Mr.. Cohen (Alan Dale)
did not write the book, and when he
heard of its publication protested agninst
the use of his name. Protest being I'M
availing, through his counselor, Mr..
Steckler, he sued the publisher, claiming
81 900 damages. After hearing Mr. Co
hens testimony, Judge Lacombe virtu-
ally informed the jury that there was no
necessity of further evidence, as it could
not be shown that the plaintiffs salary
on daily paper in this city had been de-
creased by reason Of the publication, or
that he had had any subsequent trouble
with publishers.
That may be law; it's not Justice.
Mr.. Cohen could have proved by
George Alfred Townsend, A. G. Wheel
er, Samuel L. Clemens and other writer's
Of national repute that the signatures
over which they are known to the world
Of readers Gath, Nym Crinkle, Mark
Twain-mean a fortune, and that any
use of those signatures by other parties
was not only an abuse but traverse of
equity, dishonest and cruel. l can't I'M
derstand Laconbes action in the mat
ter. It virtually says to irresponsible
publishers: "Go ahead, publish what
you please, lyingly announce that the
matter is written by any author whose
name you may prefer. He has no rem
edy unless he can prove that he has lost
an engagement or Is in disfavor with the
publisher"
wonder how Lacombe would like to
see decisions, pt1rporting to have been
rendered by him, signed with his name,
circulated in the community. And |
also wonder whether it ever entered his
somewhat interesting mind that it is adj
visable to n1ulct thieves, liars and bear
ers Of false witness, for tho protection Of
the community in general and Of men
as well to whom reputation is worth
much more money than the circuit
court could possibly collect.--Joseph

The discovery of Glass.

Though the Egyptians claim to have
been taught by Hermes the art of MAX
ing glass, it may be stated upon the au-
thority of Pliny that lbs discovery be-
longs to the Syriai1s, or rather Phmni-
clans, who obtained it accidentally. A
small number of sailors who had landed
upon the coast of Spain built a fire upon
the sand and supported their cooking
utensils with stones which they had
found near the shore. After finishing
their meal one Of the party accidentally
raked the ashes, and the action Of the
heat having combined the inter and
sand he found a crystalline substance
