to advocate Glenn and the other gentle
men first named. and did so. He spoke
highly also OF Elias. Glenn's opponent,
and OF Gudger He found the President
would appoint Elias attorney or coli

President Simmons said there was more
general sentiment for Glenn for attorney
than for Gudger for collector, and that
there would be greater disappointment in
the party II Glenn failed TO get this place
than If Gudger was not appointed col

thought OF antagonizing Vance. or favor

He says he has at all times denied Hale )

said anything about Hale to the Presi-

Lincoln's Loves.
Lincoln fell in love for the first time
in New Salem, becoming engaged to
Ann Rutledge, who died in 1885. Sew
en- years later he wooed and welded
Elizabeth Todd. When the Lincolns
were about to leave for Washington,
they decided to sell all their furniture.
Some of it was given to Mr.. Lincoln's
sisters, of whom he had three. After
ward Mr.. Oldroyd purchased them, but
he had to pay big price for them, as
the three sisters, who were spinsters
and milliners, were thrifty and knew
only too we'll the value of a dollar

life. Altogether it is one of the most In

A. LINCOLN
Died In this house
April 15, 1865.

At one time the locality was looked
upon as a very desirable place of resi-
dence, but today it is the very heart of
the business center. Tt is directly across
the street, from the old theater where
Wilkes Booth fred the fatal shot that
made a nation mourn.
The Memorial "A ssocfatfon.
The theater seems to have been fated
ever since the terrible tragedy. For
many years no one would use it. Final
ly the government took it, and of late
years it has been used for clerks of the
war department. The dreadful calamity
of Ford's theater, where many clerks lost
their lives, is still fresh in the minds
of every one. Prior to that it was used
as the Medical museum.
Congress has been urged from time
to time by patriotic citizens to buy the
house where Lincoln died; but, as usual
with our national lawmakers, they did
nothing about the matter. Finally con-
WINGED that congress would not act,
number of patriotic citizens met and or
ganized the Memorial Association of the
District of Columbia. Their purpose
was to raise the money to purchase the
house where Lincoln died and to place
therein the many relics then scattered
all over the country. They finally sue
ceeded not only in raising the money to
purchase the house, but have paid heav-
lily for every relic of the martyred pres

CHAIR IN WHICH LINCOLN DIED.
ciety cannot be too highly commended.
They have joined themselves together
with the object of cultivating historical
interest and strengthening that rever-
ence for the man who made our historic
past upon which a lasting reverence
must depend.
They do not intend to stop at the
work of giving to the, public the house
where Lincoln died, but will endeavor
to have tablets placed on the outer walls
of all houses throughout the city of his
toric interest to writers. 1t is i'll wind
which blows no one any good, for the Me-
mortal association have reason to be
grateful to Governor A1tgeld, who par
doned the anarchists. In Springfield,
Ills, stands the house where Lincoln
lived from 1916 until he came to Wash
ington as president After Mr.. Lincoln
left it the house was leased by man
named Tilton, who occupied it all during
the war. Tilton permitted strangers to go
through the house, and over 20, 900 visit
ors registered their names while the
Tiltons lived there When Mrs. Lin
coin died, the property came to Robert
Lincoln, afterward secretary of war.
He rented the property to 0. Fl. Old
royd. To the latter great credit is due
He Immediately set TO work to gather
about him every relic of Lincoln he
could find. This collection he placed in
the old homestead and opened it to the
public. When his five years lease ex-
pired, Mr.. Oldroyd made trip to Wash
ington and succeeded in getting Secre-
tary Lincoln to deed the property to the
state of Illinois. In accepting the gift
the state agreed to keep the house in re-
pair, to pay the salary Of a custodian
and have the house open to inspection
of visitors Mr. Oldroyd was appointed
to this place, taking with him all his
valuable relics of Lincoln. He held the
position until Altgeld was made govern
or. Then he was discharged. taking
with him all his relics. This is how the
Memorial association has been able to
accomplish their Praiseworthy labor in
the short space of one year They pur-
chased the Oldroyd relics, and in ad-
dition have secured many others from
relatives and friends of Lincoln living
in different parts of the country
Interesting to the Curious.
Lovers of the antique and the curious
can be satisfied to their hearts content
There are IAementos in the old house
on Tenth street from the very day of
Lincoln's birth to the unhappy night of
his taking off. A series of old magazine
cuts beginning with Lincoln's birth
place in Hardin county, KY, goes ON
through the family removal six years
later and the final settlement of the Lin
coins in Decatur, Ills. One picture shows
the raft on which his father was carry
ing two barrels of whisky to their new
home This, together with $40, was the
price received for their old farm. In
1881 Lincoln struck out for himself, go
ing TO New Salem There it was that
he began his political career by serving
Uncle Sam as postmaster. Lincoln went
into business. but did not stay long, trade
