LINCOLN COULD GET ANc
As, For Example, when His Telegr
Were Delivered TO stanton.

Were Delivered TO Stanton.
81 have read several Lincoln anil
versary speeches, said Mr. Charlie,
Frederick, "and have been struck with
the statement contained in some OF
them TO the effect that Mr.. Lincoln sci.
dom got mad, and that when he did get
mad he did not allow himself to get
very mad. If these speakers spoke from
their personal experience, it is all right,
but my personal experience with him
one night satisfied me he could get up a
terribly good sized case of mad at times.
az was boy at the time and was a
messenger for the old American Tele-
graph company, which in after years
was absorbed, by the present Western
Union telegraph. For several days there
had been a number of kilograms for the
president from army officers, and among
them l remember two or three from
General Mcclellan. don't remember
now why they did not come over the
military telegraph lines. Well, one
night started over to the White House
with a telegram that knew came from
General Mcclellan. 1t was for the pres
ident.
''In those days there was always a
guard of soldiers stationed at the two
avenue gates, as also at the other gates,
but messenger boys were generally well
known, and they were admitted day or
night without any question, at least to
the front door, where another soldier
guard was also stationed. There was
always an officer about the door. who
receipted for kilograms. This night,
however, l saw Mr.. Lincoln coming to-
ward the outer gate, and l thought l
would personally hand him the tele.
gram, which did. He smiled pleasant
ly enough as he opened it, but change
suddenly came over him.
Have you the other telegrams?' he
demanded of me. replied that l he'd
but the one, though informed him
that knew that there had been one or
two others that day from General Nc
Clellan.
That is what he says, added the
president, 'and what annoys me is that
have not received them.
"Then, turning to the sentry, he
said: Send up to the door for the Off
Ger in charge and tell him that when
kilograms come here addressed to me
they should and must be delivered to
me. Tell him also,' and by this time
the president was very mad, that if he
sends any more of my kilograms over to
Mr.. Stanton's house I'll drive him away
from here Mr.. Stanton has enough tel
egrams of his own and should not have
mine.
Though was but a boy" said Mr..
Frederick, 81 could see that Mr.. Lin
coin was mad all the way through, and
that, for the moment at least, he was
displeased with his war minister, Secre-
tary Stanton, and that he intended ex-
actly what he said. The president, then
directing himself to me, continued:
Boy, tell your folks that I must have
my kilograms, and that if these soldiers
about the door interfere any more I'll
drive every one of them away. I don't
want them and never did want them
about the place. "-Washington Star.

Five Cuban Prisoners Publicly Garroted
at Havana.
HAVANA, April 2.-Never in mod
ern times has there been more sicken-
ing spectacle than that which attended
the public execution of five Cubans.
The men had been condemned to death
by the garrote, as "murderers, violators
and incendiaries. !" The first man to
die took his seat in the chair calmly;
the iron collar was fixed about his neck,
and the cap drawn over his face. Then
the executioner undertook to apply the
screw, but was so excited that his hand
slipped repeatedly, with the result that
the victim died by slow strangulation,
emitting the while the most distressing
cries. The other executions were
repetitions of the first one, except that,
if possible, they were more bungling.

clauses enacted few years ago. Be-
fore reciprocity treaties were enacted

barrels per year. During the life of
the treaty it increased to 100000 bar

Germany the duty on wheat is 80 cents
