Case, (which he carefully united and

to continue the joke, he sent him down

department could not be found, and il
was we'll enough that he did not meet
that abrupt and oftentimes demonstra-
tive official. In the course of time, how

pleton & Co.
In 1868 Mr.. Lincoln was informed
one morning that among the visitors in
the anteroom of the White House was a
man who claimed to be his relative. He
walked out and was surprised to find
his boyhood friend and cousin, Dennis
Hanks. The latter had come to see his
distinguished relative on a rather
strange mission. A number of persons
living in Coles county, in Illinois, Of
Tended at the presence and conduct of a
few soldiers who were at home from the
war on furlough at the town of Charles
ton, had brought about a riot, in which
encounter several of the latter had been
killed. Several of the civilian partici-
pants who had acted as leaders in the
strife had been arrested and sent to Fort
McHenry or some other place of con-
finement equally far from their homes.
The leading lawyers and politicians of
central Illinois were appealed to, but
they and all others who had tried their
hand had been signally unsuccessful in
their efforts to secure the release of the
prisoners. Meanwhile some one of q
sentimental turn had conceived the idea
of sending garrulous old Dennis Hanks
to Washington, fondly believing that
his relationship to the president might
in this last extremity be of some avail.
The novelty of the project secured its
adoption by the prisoners friends, and
Dennis, arrayed in a suit Of new clothes,
set out for the national capital have
heard him describe this visit very mi
nutely. How his appearance in Wash
ington and his mission struck Mr.. Lin
coin can only be imagined.
The president, after listening to him
and learning the purpose of his visit,
retired to an adjoining room and re-

THE FIRST CELEBRATION.
It Passed Off Much as Independence Day
Does Now.

Does Now.
The people of the United States took
to the Fourth of July Very naturally.
The first anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence, July 4, 1777, was cele-
brated at Philadelphia as gayly, as pref
tily and as enthusiastically as though the
inhabitants had had century's practice
in the art.
In the morning all the ships, the
market barges and the armed galleys
were drawn up in line before the city,
with their flags and streamers flying.
At o'clock, the shore being lined with
eager spectators, the yards were manned
and each vessel in turn fired a salute Of
Is guns.
When the last salute was over, con-
gress, with a number of officers, civil
and military, dined together and drank
the usual patriotic toasts, each toast be-
ing followed by discharge of artillery.
And who furnished the music for the
feast? Why, band of Hessian prisoners,
who had been captured few months
before at Trenton! Their music was
much admired.
After dinner there was a military
parade, consisting of companies of horse,
a body of artillery and brigade of reg
ular troops from North Carolina, which
was witnessed by congress and its
guests from the banquet, besides nearly
the whole population of the town. AS
night drew on the church bells were
rung. AS soon as it was quite dark
there was an exhibition of fireworks and
a general illumination. The young and
old appeared to enjoy the occasion thor
oughly from early morning until late in
the evening.

place between the head of the nation
and the latter's loyal subjects. He saw
modesty and obscurity mingling with
the arrogance of pride and distinction.
One day an attractive and handsomely
dressed woman called to procure the re-
lease from prison of a relative in whom
she professed the deepest interest. She
was good talker, and her winning
ways seemed to be making a deep i'm
preston on the president. After listen
ing to her story he wrote few lines on
q card, inclosing it in an envelope and
directing her to take it to the secretary
Of war. Before sealing it he showed it
to Dennis. 1t read, "This woman, dear
Stanton, is a little smarter than she
looks to be- She had, womanlike, evil
IDENTIFY overstated her case.
Before night another woman called,
more humble in appearance, more plain
ly clad. 1t was the old story-father
and son both in the army, the former
in prison. Could not the latter be dis
charged from the army and sent home
to help his mother? A few strokes Of
the pen, a gentle nod of the head, and
the little woman, her eyes filling with
tears and expressing grateful acknowl-
edgment her tongue could not utter,
passed out.
A Near Friends Testimony.
1t will interest the reader and no
doubt aid him greatly in drawing the
portrait of Lincoln to call up for the
purpose friend of his, whose testimony
is not only vivid and minute, but for
certain reasons unusually appropriate
end essential The friend referred to is
Joshua f. Speed. Under date of Dec. 6,
1866, he says: "Mr. Lincoln was so I'M
like all the men had ever known be-
fore or seen or known since that there
is no one to whom can compare him.
"The beauty of his character was its
entire simplicity. He had no affectation
in anything. True to nature, true to
himself, he was true to everybody and
everything around him. When he was
ignorant on any subject, no matter how
simple it might make him appear, he
was always willing to acknowledge it.
His whole aim in life was to be true to
himself, and being true to himself he
could be false to no one
HE had no vices even as a young
man. Intense thou ht with him was
the rule and not, as with most of US, the
exception. He often said that he could
think better after breakfast, and better
walking than sitting lying or standing.
His worldwide reputation for telling
anecdotes and telling them so we'll was,
in my Judgment necessary to his very
existence. Most men who have been
great students, such as he was, in their
hours of idleness have taken to the bot
tie, to cards or dice. He had no fond
ness for any of these. Hence he sought
relaxation in anecdotes. So far as I now
remember of his study for composition,
it was to make short sentences and q
compact style. w
unlike all other men, there was en-
tire harmony between his public and
private life. He must believe he was
right, and that he had truth and justice
with him, or he was weak man, but
no man could be stronger if he thought
he was right. "a 80.

would delay an electric street Cal
line, and thought if this was so the
question was much complicated.
DR.. Webster said that municipal
lighting would stand in the way of any
other company coming here and in
vesting. The field is not large enough
for street cars or city lighting alone to
pay, and if one was put in indepen-
IDENTIFY of the others, one thing would
stand in the way of another. For the
city to take the step proposed would
not be good thing, and he was very
much opposed to the city taking hold
of the matter.
Mr.. Burdick said that the committee
could get the facts and make report
in three days.
Mr.. Comstock said that this being
the case he would withdraw all ob,
lection to the club going into the
matter.
Mr.. Beattie said that it was hard
enough for city to give satisfactory
service where it combined all kinds of
lighting, and not merely undertook
city lighting, as proposed here. Man.
kato is way behind the whole country
in its commercial lighting facilities.
The proposition now is to put in a
$4,000 plant for street lighting. The
council will find that after it has put
in $3.50 it has not begun to do any
thing. AS Mr.. Burdick says, the COM
mittee can make it's report in three
days. No company can offer electrical
facilities for street lighting alone for
S25, 900 and give satisfaction, and 1 am
willing to stand by this statement. If
the council adds to the $4,000 of
electric light bonds the SIS, ZOO from
the sale of the water bonds, it will
still be unable to give satisfactory
service. l have lived where these
plants are located and have investi-
gated the subject. The council can
put in cheap plant that will give
brilliant lights for one or two years,
and the machinery will then go to
pieces. The Thompson-Houston,
Westinghouse and Edison general
electric companies will not put in the
machinery for any such money as the
council proposes. The council has
been asked for statement, but it has
not made one, and the voters have
nothing to act on. 1t has made no in
vestigation of the cost of a satisfactory
plant, or if it has it has not made the
result of it's investigation public. We
want as club to see the city 60 for
ward on satisfactory basis and not
be sorry afterwards. / wish we had
taken the question up sooner, that
the committee might have made re-
port before this as to the cost of a
plant and what kind of machinery the
council proposes to put in. We are
now cropping along in the darkness.
The motion for the appointment of
committee was carried unanimously,
and the club adjourned,
