ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY.
How Abes Premises Were Fixed Up In Ill
Absence and the Results.

Secretary Morton to a representative of
the Washington Star the other day, 'of
any near or particular acquaintance with
Abraham Lincoln. have had him de-
scribed to me often, however, by men close
to him, and who knew him well. AS every
body is aware, Lincoln was man of
humor, rather than wit; fond of a good
story and a good laugh. Lincoln was not
an orderly man, and paid no vast heed to
things about him. II he had owned a lawn

Lincoln was a bit shifuess. His fences
were apt to be down, and many a matter
needed doing about the home of Lincoln.
l recall story of the great president
which Richardson, once member of the
national house from Illinois, and q great
friend of Lincoln, told me.
We, Lincoln and /, had been away on
the circuit together said Richardson. The
Judges ana lawyers travelled from county
TO county in those days, the former to hold
court and the latter to try what cases they
had ana pick mp Others Lincoln and | had
been away some weeks, and one afternoon
toward the close of an early summers day
We rode into Springfield, where Lincoln
lived. His yard and the scene about the
house had been, when he left, bit disrcp-
utable. The fence needed mending; the
yard lacked cleaning up the house wanted
coat of paint: some OF the windows eX-
hihited a broken pane, while odd and irri-
tating punches of brambles and clumps OF
locust shoots cried for the scythe and
brush and brushhook. This was the con-
diton when Lincoln left. But during his
absence Mrs. Lincoln had instituted cam
paign of her own. AS We drove up TO the
place We found the fence repaired, the yard
mown and clean, every pane of glass was
in, and the house glistened and shone with
a coat of white paint. Mrs. Lincoln her.
self stood in the front door to enjoy the
effect of all this order and resoration on
her husband. But on this occasion he held
the middle of the road and looked coldly
on the house and his wife, as one who did
not recognize either, He made as IL he
wanted to 20 by. Just opposite the gate,
however, he pulled up his horse, and with
a face grave enough, bar twinkle of the
eye, bowed with great politeness to Mrs.

The Air Brake and Coupler Law.

Engineering News: Within the short
railways OF the United States must COM
plete the equipment of their freight cars
with automatic eouplers and air brakes, in
order to comply with the law passed by
congress in February, 1898. How great a
task this involves can be stated with a fair
cording 10 the interstate commerce com
missions statistics, there We're about l,2l3,-
tJ0 freight equipment cars in service, of
which about 2l5,0UO were equipped with au-
tomato couplers and 10000 We're equipped
with air brakes. How many cars have
been equipped in the two years since that
time? We need hardly say that no exact
statistics on this point are available. The
best we can do Is to make an approximate
estimate from the known facts. During
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1892, there
were in round numbers 1900 freight cars
ped with automatic eoupiers In the Wear
ending June 49, 1893. there We're about S.

figure. The year just drawing 10 close
has certainly seen much greater activity
in these matters, especially during the lat
ter half; and yet II is unquest tionabiy true
that very large proportion of the rail-
ways are still in such financial condition
that their officers are doing practically
nothing in the direction of complying with
the brake and coupler law.
But not 10 orerestimate the task which
the railroads of this country have before
them. let us suppose that as many as no.
0O1 freight ears have been equipped with
brakes and couplers during the past two
years. The number can hardly be material
ly in excess of this IL seems entirely prob
able that 1t is much smaller. Accepting it,
however. and also assuming that there has
been no increase in freight rolling stock
since June 80, 1888, We hnd that there are
at the present day at least 10000 freight
equipment cars with old-style couplers and
about S25, 90 without air brakes.
After reviewing each possible contingent
cy, the conclusion seems Inevitable that
the railways of the country must, within
the next thirty months, complete the equip
ment With air brakes and the NJ. C. b.

Interchange. which means the purchase of
couplsrs and brakes for some 10000 cars.

10 Trenton and from Trenton 10 ST. Joseph.
1t has begun the preliminary work of
changing this narrow guage TO n standard
guage line, the object being to build from
GAINESVILLE to this city, here to connect
with its present quincy and Kansas city
line, which now carries the Chicago-kan-

The distance Is considerably shorter than
its present route, but little more than the
connection to be covered by the other lines
mentioned, though still making the short

The statement is made by one in position
TO know the facts, while the feasibility Of
the plan is undoubted.
The advantages which would result to
this city are only such as would but nat
