Where Henry Watterson Was Born

(HreSent appearance OF tne nOuSe.D
The peace of the country, he held, was to be
put above all partisan disappointment.
Nothing else enga ged his attention while
in office. So Indifferent was he, indeed, to
minor matters connected with his place
that one of the most amusing experiences
grew out of it. He got letter one day
from an old lady living in Tennessee. who
lad known him when he was lad. asking
him to send her some garden seeds The
letter was puzzle to Mr.. Watterson. and
he handed it to Gen. Garfield, who was a
rear neighbor in the House, for an eXpla-
ration.
why, certainly said Gen. Garfield.
you've got garden seeds to your credit at
the Agricultural Department. Send a note
ever there and they'll attend to it,
So Mr.. Watterson wrote note directing
that his quota of garden seeds be sent to the
old lady in Tennessee. whose name and ad-
dress he inclosed, and it was done.
Presently other requests of like nature
began pouring in on him from his own
constituents. and these he referred also to
Gen. Garfield.
'.Do as in that other case" explained the
general
Tie Learned when Too Late.
But I ordered my share sent to that old
lady"
mot all of your share" replied General
Garfield.
'sWhy, how much am entitled to-" in
quired Mr.. Watterson, in a surprised tone.
General Garfield threw back his head and
laughed long and loud. ''Why, man, that
old lady has got seeds enough to plant a
county! II she were eligible. she could
come to Congress on the strength alone Of
your benefaction!'
In a few days Mr.. Watterson got another
letter from the old lady thanking him for
the remembrance, and telling him that he
had been SO bountiful she had been able to
divide with large number of people In the
county. But that didn't help fill the yawn-
ing gulf in the Louisville district, and Mr..
Watterson was forced to hustle around and
borrow from his colleagues to save himself
at home.
An event Of much happiness to the Wat
terson household occurred at this time. Mrs.
Wattcrson had accompanied her husband

Henry Watterson and His Unique
Position in Kentucky.
His SUCCESS As A JOURNALIST
His Boyhood and Early Newspaper
Work in This City.
DIES OF. LIN COLN

There is, and there ought to be, something
unusually interesting to the people of
Washington in the announcement that Mr..
Henry Watterson will lecture at the La
fayette Square Opera House tomorrow
evening on the Life Career and Death of
Abraham Lincoln" The subject is one of
the most important and inspiring in the
whole range of American history, and it is
to be treated by one Of the most brilliant
men connected with the American press.
The combination, therefore. Of subject and
speaker is felicitous in the highest degree,
and insures Intellectual enjoyment of a
very rare order.
Mr.. Watterson is something of a citizen
of this town. He was born here, he began
his professional career here-and, The Star
is happy to say, as a contributor to its
columns-he has always been a frequent
visitor here since taking up his permanent
he me elsewhere, and his one term in office
was spent as a member Of the national
House of Representatives. and in circum-
stances that made him conspicuous figure
at a critical era in the country's affairs.
Why. with all this to his credit, should not
he be welcome in Washington?
Evening star., 1896-03-28

Watterson himself having been born in
Washington while his father was serving
in Congress- the advent of the young man
of the third generation in similar circum-
stances was coincidence fraught with
much joy to all the family. This son, who
was named for his father, is now promis
ing young man of nineteen, and will be o;~
of the party to accompany Mr.. Watterson
to Europe, and under his fathers eye take
a first view OF the sights of the old world.
His study of Mr. Lincoln.
1t was characteristic of Mr.. wat;erson
upon deciding to enter the lecture field TO
prepare himself thoroughly a platform
speaker. His natural gifts encouraged this.
His presence his voice, his energy of Ge-
livery, all assured him success as speak
er. And he has achieved 1t. Indeed he is
now reckoned belonging in the very
fiont rank of platform orators. The sea-
son which he will close here tomorrow
night has been a series of ovations. He has
been received everywhere with marked
favor. and bis itinerary has extended from
one end of the country to the other.
The character of Mr.. Lincoln, Mr.. Wat
terson confesses, has always filled him
with profound venerarion. He has stud
led 1t in all of its aspects, and in the light
of all obtainable authoritative history and
incident. he regards Mr.. Lincoln as be-
ing one of the great men of all history, and
as certain to stand among heroes for all
time, and it is with this appraisement
...de Aie "Ppi oaShes anu iidIales MS suD1ecl
The lecture is pronounced by critics of high
reputation a brilliant and altogether sym
pathetic performance.
Nor is MIR. Watterson to halt merely at
lecture. He has prepared himself to treat
the subject at length in book and is go
ing to Europe to write it, He sails next
"Wednesday from New York with that Oh

the interesting volume, the manuscript of
which he will bring with him upon his re-
turn, ready for the publisher.

From the Knoxville Sentinel.

The theory is that the world is fat. like

history says 1t was the starting point of

its own sweet will, going thither and COM
ing. hither also vice versa, without regard
for the burdenSome laws of gravity or Te-
spect fer the claims Of the solars and other
objectionable heavenly bodies.
Then the theorist goes into details which
will be valuable to the scientific world. He
represents the world as being set. fiat as Il
is, upon four props, one at each corner,
and the most interesting phase of the prop
feature is that they made of locust

And the theory still further continues
