out which of the three possible courses
they mean to take. A slight turn to the
left by you gives them better chance to
get by, but too much would cut them off
from riding down the street up which
you have come. Always be ready to give
way rather than sprint by.
Don't be ashamed to dismount. If you
meet a runaway. a brass band and
bunch of wheelmsn filling up the whole
street you will be better off on the ground
than giving an exhibition OF trick riding

Lastly. in the city riding, remember
that though the car you see may be going
away from you, and you have plenty Of
time to get by the wagon, that cars on
the other track come the other way and
that if you are sprinting you may not DO

foe. Also, an electric car comes out OF

She also learned to keep house.
In 1889 Mr.. Richards moved to Chey-

FELIX FAURE, PRESIDENT OF FRANCE.
has been regularly elected to the cham
Der.
M. Faure was one of Gambetta's men,
for when that statesman formed his
administration in 1881 he appointed the
new Havre deputy under secretary of
state in the freshly established ministry
of commerce and the colonies This
office he quilted when the rest of the
cabinet went out the following jan
uary, but during the short time he held
it he displayed special knowledge Of
commercial questions, especially those
relating to marine and foreign trade,
which procured his appointment to the
same post in M. Ferry's last cabinet in
1888, and again in M. Tirards first
short-ived administration in 1883. M.
Faure frequently spoke in the chamber
on colonial and marine questions, and
came to be regarded as an authority
upon them. The prominent and useful
part which he took in the labors of the
extra parliamentary committee on
naval affairs marked him out for pro-
motion, and when M. Dupuy formed his
cabinet last May upon M. Casimir-
Periers resignation of the premiership,
M. Faure succeeded Admiral Lefevre
as minister of marine, post which he
continued to hold until the recent
crisis.
M. Faure accompanied Gambetta in
his journey through Normandy, and he
has travelled extensively in the east,
where he made some scientific ex-
plorations at his own expense. Per-
sonally he is handsome and tall, with a
figure and carriage which, despite his
ffty-four years, would do credit to a
young officer of the Guardes. In well
dressed France he has won the reputa-
ton of being an exceptionally well
dressed mana personal detail not
without it's wide significance, seeing
that some of his radical critics have
found his spotless linen and patent
leather boots a stumbling block and
an offense. He is. well known and very
popular in Partisan society, and is dis
tinguished alike for the courtesy and
the polish of his manners.

THE MAN OF THE HOUR.
M. Felix Faure, just Elected
President of Frs-ce.
An Estimate of His Past Career and
Future Political Prospects--He IL Very
Wealthy and Hated by Socialists
and Hadicais.

M. Felix Faure, the new president of
the French republic, cannot be called q
great man-owing to variety of causes
the dearth of great men in French poll
tics has become SO well marked as to
be proverbial. Nor will anyone con-
cede to him as much force of character
or as much personal prestige as M.
Casimir- Perier is believed or was be-
lieved, to possess. Yet it is conceiva-
BILE that, like many other men of mod
crate aims and moderate records, who
have found themselves suddenly thrust
into the front rank, NJ Faure may de-
velop capacity for adapting himself
to difficult or delicate political circum-
stances that would do credit to men
whose ability has been far more gener-
ally recognized. This, however, is
matter of conjecture. All that can be
said is that, from the presidential point
of view, M. Faure is for the moment "a
dark horse" At the same time, it may
be noted that he has three important
points in his favor-he is at once amia-
BILE, popular and modest.
M. Faure was born at Paris, on jan
uary 80, 1s41. He made large fortune
as a ship owner, at Havre, where, years
ago, he was president of the chamber
of commerce and deputy mayor. Like
M. Casimir- Perier, he has seen active
military service, for he served in the
Franco-Prussian war as the commander
of battalion of volunteers. Like M.
Casimir- Perier, again. he was invested
with the Legion of Honor for his dis
tinguished services in the field. The
late president, it will be remembered,
won his decoration FOR carrying off a
wounded and helpless comrade amid a
hail of Prussian bullets. M. Faure re-
ceived the chevalier's ribbon in recog-
milton of the courage he displayed, in
1871, in equipping and leading the
Havre fremen against the conhagra-
tions kindled in that city by the COM
munards.
M. Faure was over forty before he
entered political life. In August, 1881,
he was returned, as republican, for
the third electoral district of Havre,
against M. LIE Valiant du Douet, the
monarchist candidate, and since then

RELICS OF LINCOLN.
Gathered by tho Memorial Assoc
citation of Washington.
They Are TO Be Exhibited In the House In
Which the President Died-The Col
lection Now In Charge OF
o. II. Oldroyd.

There has been founded in the city of
Washington, d. c., a society for the
preservation of historic relics. The
name of this society is the Memorial
Association of the District of Columbia
This society, writes Harriette Palmer
Crabbe in the Western Rural, has
bought the building opposite Ford's
theater where Lincoln was carried after
his assassination, and where he died.
In this building the association propose
to gather together everything that is
connected with the life and work of
Abraham Lincoln. Twenty-Five hun
dred articles make up the present col
lection. Everybody knows that there
is most complete collection of articles
formerly owned by or connected with
the great and good George Washington
at his old home, Mount Vernon, SO
picturesquely situated on the beautiful
Potomac river. Very few persons who
have visited the capital city have failed
to visit the home of Washington. But
Lincoln having had no home at the
nations capitol, it was decided that the
building in which he died would be a
suitable place in which TO place the
Lincoln memorials. This building is
No. SIG Tenth street northwest, and is
exactly opposite the old Ford's theater
building. This will add another point
of interest to the city.
These 1850 articles illustrated the life
of Lincoln from his birth in Hardin
county, KY, to his death as the presi-
dent of the United States. This collec-
ton is in charge of Mr.. 0. II. Oldroyd,
who for so many years occupied the old
Lincoln home in Springfield, Ill. Mr..
Oldroyd has been more than thirty
years collecting these articles, some of
them are very interesting. Among the
most highly priced articles is a rail
split by Lincoln in 1880, and although l
have seen various rails said to have been
split by Lincoln, this rail Is gen.
uine. 1t was formerly owned by ex-
Gov Richard J. Oglesby, of Illi-
nois. Gov. Oglesby presented the rail
to Judge Burton, from whose family
Mr.. Oldroyd obtained it. Another in
teresting article is a table, designed by
Mr.. Oldroyd. When Lincoln lived in
New Salem, he lived with Caleb Car
men, and out of the house occupied by

RUsSIA'S GREAT LOSS.
Next to Gortschakoff He Was the Clever
est Russian diplomat of the Com
tury-His Rise In the World
Of Politics.

Nicholas Carlovitch de Giers, Russia's
minister of foreign affairs, who died
january 20 at st. Petersburg, was born
MAY o, 1920. He was of Swedish origin.
After passing through course of
science at the Imperial Lyceum of Car
slxoe Selo, he entered the Asiatic de-
partment of the minister of foreign af-
fairs He thus made his debut on the
diplomatic stage at the age of eighteen.
Despite his youth he at once became a
promising figure in Russian diplomacy.
In 1841 he was attached to the Russian
consulate at Moldavia and in Septem-
Der, 1s4S, he was ordered by the car to
proceed che headquarters of the Rus
sian troops In Pennsylvania during the
Hungarian campaign TO act in diplo-
IImatic capacity under Gen. Ludders.
EHis marvellous energy in the fulfillment
of his duties at this post led to his pro-
motion to the Office OF court councillor.
He also received imperial recogni-
tion for his services in the shape of the
order of st. Stanislas of the fourth class.
7 In 1850 he was,sent as first secretary
of the embassy to the sublime porte. In
1858 he was transferred to Roumania as
director of the chancery of the commits
sary plenipotentiary in what were then
khe municipalities of Wallachia and Mol
aavia.
Twelve months later war broke out
between Turkey and Russia, and De
Hers was attached to the ministry of
preign affairs. In 1855 he was dis
atched with important instructions to
ne governor general of New Russia
nd Bessarabaria. In 1856 he was ap-
pinted consul general to Egypt, and
vo years later he acted in the same
pacity to Wallachia and Moldavia,
saring, however, the title of actual
uncil of state. His services at this
tter post during the next five years
rned him the order of st. Anne of
, first class. In 1868 De Giers was
waited to the position of ambassador
iraordinary and minister plenipoten-
ry to Persia He remained at the
TT of Teheran until 1869. His infiu-
q greatly contributed toward the
summation of friendly relations be-
