Lincoln's Good Breeding.

The writer remembers very we'll to
have heard a very faStidiOus lady, IA
member # the Speed household, say
that, though at that time Lincoln had
none Of the polish and g~racefulness to
be expected from those acquainted with
the usages Of society. he was one Of ma
lures gentlemen because Of his kindli-
ness Of heart and innate refinement.
And after saying this she recalled All in
stance Of real good manners on his part.
At dinner there was a saddle Of mutton.
The servant after handing the roast
passed glass Of jelly. Mr.. Lincoln took
the glass and ate the jelly from it, The
servant got another glass and passed it
around. Mr.. Lincoln noticed that the
others at table merely took q spoonful.
Without embarrassment 0 apology he
laughed quietly and remarked, Il seem
to have taken more thar my share, y
and then he went on with his dinner.
Most persons, this lady thought, after
committing such a solecism would have
been covered with confusion and profuse
in apologies. john Gilmer Speed in

Pioneer Press, 2: Since August /,
Minneapolis and Duluth have received
$4,000, 900 bushels Of wheat. There are
in store in the country elevators at least
100000 bushels more, and it is esti
mated that the country mills have
ground at least 100000 bushels since
the 1st OF August, and that 5000, 600
bushels have been shipped out Of the
Northwest by other routes than Mime
apolis and Duluth. This makes a total
Of 81. 900 bushels, and it is estimated
that this is but about half OF the years
crop.
Evidently a large number OF farmers
are holding their crops for the spring
market, when they hope to get better
prices. This is about SO per cent thai

months. Out Of the remainder must b.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
For Commissioner First District
l.. r. CROW.

To-day is general election in some
states, special or limited election in
others for state officers, while in South
Dakota only one or two commissioners
are to be elected in each Of the counties.
The most interesting fights are those OF
the states of New York, Maryland and
Ohio. where political bossism Is at stake.
Messrs. Platt, German and Brice are
fighting for control Of the legislatures
and further lease Of power and office
ana Of course the fight is desperate.
In Massachusetts, New Jersey, Iowa and
Mississippi the contest is more political
and less personal. while in Kentucky
the great expectancy is that the repub-
licans for the first time in the history OF
the state will win au office. Utah votes
on the adoption of a constitution and
thereby her right to enter the union of
states, elect two United States senators
and set the state government in motion.
Even in the limited area Of these cleo
tions there is much for veal or woe to
the future of the whole country.

Fish Wardens Make a Ca,
AN STORY.

The owl car was bowling merrily to-

interested listener, moved over toward

some little experience with alligators
himself. He was hailed with delight by
the little ~coterie, and being pressed for

A DIME.
Ten Cent Pieces Coined In San Francisco
In 1894 Are Worth Is Each.

In 1894 Are Worth % Each.
Whoever has a dime Of 1894 coined
by the San Francisco mint has a coin
for which So has already been offered.
and when all the facts are known re-
garding its scarcity it is not unlikely
that it will command a much higher
premium.
Inquiry at the mint elected the in
formation that during the fiscal year Of
1894 only "a dimes were coined at the
San Francisco mint. How this came
about was told by Chief Clerk Robert
Barnett.
"All undercurrent subsidiary coins
viz, those containing other than the de-
sign now being used-when received at
the subtreasury are not again allowed
to go into circulation. but are sent to
the mint to be rccoincd with the cur
rent design. In the course of the year
1894 we received a large sum in these
coins, but having an ample stock Of
dimes on hand it was not intended to
coin any of that denomination in 1894.
However, when nearly all of this sub
sidiary coin bullion had been utilized,
we found on our hands a quantity that
would coin to advantage only into
dimes, and into dimes it was coined,
making just "a Of them.
my attention was first drawn to the
matter particularly by the receipt Of a
letter from a collector somewhere east
requesting a set Of the coins of 1894.
In filling this order | found there We're
no dimes of that date on hand. Suisse
quently | received quite a number of
similar letters and in each case was of
course unable to furnish them.
"Plenty of dimes We're coined that
year at Philadelphia and New Orleans
minis, but there are many collectors
who accumulate the coinage of each
mint, as each has its Distinguishing
mark. Those coined here bear a letter s
under the eagle. New Orleans uses the
letter O and Carson City the letter G,
while Philadelphia coins are identified
by the absence of the letter.

Immediately after the announcement

defendants to the suit were composed OF
colored women OF all ages-apparently from
the best circles of-coiored society. The case
was against the Sisters OF Charity, a
benevolent Institution connected with the

A FIVE FIGURE LOSS
FIRE IN BRosNAN BROTHERS, STORE
DOES OVER $40, 900 DAMAGE.
Happening at 6;2O I'm the Evening,
Much Excitement Was Caused
on the Street.

Brosnan Bros. retail dry-goods merchants
at 81 and 80 South Illinois street. were
added to the long list Of firms suffering loss
by fire this week. At o'clock last night
the stored was closed for the day. Some of
the employees remained behind. however, TO
assist in making room for new stock. The
manager Of the underwear department was
directing two Of the clerks who were en-
ployed IN moving part OF the old stock.
About twenty minutes past o'clock one
OF the clerks saw smoke coming through
the floor near the front door. She called
Mr.. McCloskeys attention TO it, thinking II
was dust that had been stirred UP. He
found IL was smoke and raised the cry of
Fire" j. ID. Brosnan was at work on the
books, and shouted for McCloskey to turn
in an alarm. He ran down TO the Grand
Hotel and turned in an alarm from box
on the corner. The streets were full OF
people on their way home from work, and
an excited crowd started south on Illinois
street. thinking the Grand Hotel was burn
ing. BY the time Mr.. McCloskey got back
to the store an immense crowd had gathered
In the street. The firemen are on the alert
these days and responded quickly. Within
five minutes after the alarm was turned in
a fire company was in the store apd fighting
floor and up into the store room. All the
silks and fine dress goods Of the stock were
kept in the front part of the store, as we'll
sas the jewelry and ribbons. Quite guam
tity of stuff was burned, but the greatest
damage is from water and smoke. Many
bolts OF silk and fine dress goods were thor
oughly saturated with water, and are al
most completely ruined. Several glass cases
were demolished, one or two of them hay
ing been knocked over in the efforts of the
firemen to get at the seat of the fire. The
flooring was torn up and q stream OF water
directed into the cellar. 1t was perhaps half
an hour before the flames were finally ex-
tinguished. 1t is thought the fire originat-
ed from an overheated furnace. large
stock Of cotton batting was stored in the
cellar, which accounts for the binding,
sitting smoke with which the store was
filed.
J. d. Brosnan, a member of the firm, said
last night 1t will be impossible to make
correct statement of the loss until after
the fire adjusters have made an invoice
OF the goods. He thought 1t would prob
ably reach $4,000 or $1,000. He said they
have a much larger stock of goods on hand
at the present time than ever before in an
ticipation OF the holiday trade. AS near
as he could tell, they have a siXty-fve-
thousand-dollar stock on hands. He thought
the insurance on the stock was sufficient TO
cover the loss.
