tions; and l am confident that congress
will ratify their report. 1t is too bad
that something was not done long ago
to preserve both the house and the old
theater."
The Lincoln museum is only one
block from Pennsylvania avenue, that
thronged and busy thoroughfare of
the national capital. 1t is midway
between the treasury and interior de-
partments. The street is quiet one,
for there is no business transacted
there, and the residences are few.
Above the front door there is marble
slab with an inscription concerning
Lincoln's death. The building is ac-
cessible from any part of the city, be-
cause all of the street-car lines cross
Tenth street, to the north or south of
the locality. The semi-spiral iron
staircase which leads from the pave
ment to the front door bears to the
portals daily some American pilgrims
to this Mecca of the republic. Stand
ing in that door they may look
across the narrow street upon the
old theater, and over the course
traversed by those who bore the
body of the stricken chief magis-
trate. Through the narrow hallway
to the historic back room the visitors
first are shown. After viewing with
uncovered head, the hallowed spot, tine
visitors go from room to room, looking
at the collected relics, and some of
them write notes in their diaries to re-
mind them of things they have seen
there.
The work of the Memorial association
has but just begun. 1t will gradually
gather into the fold of its protection
many of the neglected historic houses
Of Washington. The houses where cur
famous men resided when they were
on the road to fame must be cared for.
The temporary homes of Blaine, Thur
man, Garfield, Hayes, Grant, Randall,
Carlisle, and all of the great men of
the past, will be either leased or
bought, from time to time, so that the
generations to follow US here may feel
that their country is not only making
history, but preserving ocular evil
dences of facts concerning our great
men and great events.

gan housekeeping in Springfield. Then
there is the family cradle made of solid
cherry and almost big enough for a
bed, and the cook-stove, several dining
room chairs, and stone from the crypt
In which he was buried. Hanging over
the door between the front parlors is a
rough and worn old rail- which is GER
titled to be one of the original 300, 900
made by the muscular president in
1880, by which he won his sobriquet of
''the rail-splitter," sobriquet which,
as a campaign cry, added much to his
popularity.
From the cellar of the Smithsonian
institution the Memorial association
secured the chair in which Lincoln sat
when Booth fired the fatal shot. 1t is a
mahogany rocker, upholstered in red
damask, which even in this day shows
in dark stains where the blood of the
murdered president flowed. Accom-
panylng this is the hat which Lincoln
wore on the fatal night, tall, old
fashioned beaver with a black band,

of the tragedy. And in the same
room there are papers containing the
political caricatures of the war times;
many of them picturing the president
In humorous or grotesque attitudes.
In this literary collection there are
funeral odes innumerable.
Senator Cullom and Vice President
Stevenson, both from Illinois, are anx-
ious to secure an appropriation for the
purchase of the property and the main
tenance of Lincoln museum. Sena-
tor Palmer, of Illinois, carried through
the war a major generals commission
which was given him by President Lin
coin. He also took great interest in
this matter from the inception of the
idea. The Illinois members of the
house of representatives are in earnest
about it, and their efforts are seconded
by encouragement from the represen-
tatives from other states. Many south.
ern men come forward and say that
Lincoln belongs to the entire country,
and his memory is a common heritage.
Bishop Keane, of the National Catho-
lie university, says: The longer l live,
and the more l love America, the more
thank God for the example of Lin
coin. He was man whom God made
for humanity"
That voices the sentiment every
where freely expressed in this COM
munity; and twill awaken responsive
echoes from ocean to ocean. President
Cleveland approves the project In
deed there seems to be no active oppo-
sition from any source. Chief Justice
Fuller, of the supreme court, has al
ways been an ardent admirer of Lin
coin, and he is very much in earnest
about the purchase of the property on
Tenth street. Talking with friend
on the subject recently, in street car,
Justice Fuller said; Il have no doubt
that the appropriation will be made in
the sundry civil bill. That is the in

With touch so gentle and 80 infinite fine,
No sEbtlest sense could find and mark the line
When the first CLEAN of breaking day, set
free
Even from the night itself, shall come
More than paler dark, where family shine
The stars of heaven. But clearer and more
clear,
Slowly thousand things come forth 70

And forms and tints half hidden. far and
near,
Melt from gray shadow into amber light,
Till from its ever-swelling streams are
born
The full-fushed splendors of the perfect
morn
DEATH.
Even thus some day. insensibly and slow
AS grows that radiance, mayhap we shall
see
That time is merged into eternity;
Even while we watched and waited, come
to know
That We have died-what they call death be
low
Passed from the earth painless and peace
fully,
AS men lie down to sleep, and wake to be
What they we're yesterday, while all things
show
Familiar round them. Only with that morn
Shall on us break fuller consciousness,
Such sense OF deeper life and light De born,

Untrammeled thus, through Gods respleu-

OMAHA, Sept. 2O.-Many witnesses
were examined by the prosecution in
the impeachment proceedings against
Mayor George Bemis today. The testi-
mony tended to show that the city's
executive was not in favor of closing the
gambling houses, the principal charge
against him. All the members of the fire
and police commission were on the
stand with reference to proving that in
the transfer OF Bemis park to the city
there was boodling. The prosecution
introduced City Clerk Evans. The rec.
ords of the city, Mr.. Evans averfed,
showed that the city had purchased
block in Bemis park for 10000, the
same having been selected by the park
commission one year before Mayor Bemis
was elected to his first term of Office.
The attorneys for the prosecution laid
great stress upon the fact that Mayor
Bemis had sold the tract of land to the
city and that as a city official he was in
terested in the sale.
They failed to put in any testimony
showing that all agreements for the
purchase OF land were not made prior to
the time when Bsmis was first men,
toned as candidate for the position of
mayor of the city. The council journal
entries were read to show that the
prices paid for park tracts were exor>
bitant.
