ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY.
Lincoln Told About His Gingerbread
Nan TO illustrate His Point.

Mr.. Lincoln was one of the rare talk
ers who could always point moral
with an adorning tale taken out of ms
own experience. Everybody has cX-
perience II he only knows it. Most ti
us are so much in the habit of taking in
wisdom and fun through the printed
page, or the story as another man tells
It, that we lack the capacity to see II
for ourselves.
The storytcller Is the man who finds
his own material. An old Southern
politician was moralizing thus a few
nights ago and culogizing the man tho
South used to dislike:
when Lincoln first came to Wash
ington ] went to see him, so prejudicsd
against him beforehand that no nau
with lees genius could have overcome
It, / left that first interview with his
friend. No man ever came under the
charm of Lincoln's personality withou,
respecting him, and, II allowed. loving
him.
"One day, after we had become fairly
good friends, | told him of my early
prejudice.
"Mr Lincoln said 7 had heard
every mean thing on earth about vol,
except one. ] never heard that you
were too fond Of the pleasures of life.
Mr.. Lincoln sat for moment stroking
his long cheek thoughtfully. and then
he drawled out in his peculiar Western
voice:
THAT reminds me Of something that

boy said to me when was about 10
years old.
"Once in awhile my mother used to
get some sorghum and some ginger and
mix us uD batch of gingerbread. 1t
wasn't often, and 1t was our biggest
treat.
lone day I smelled II and came into
the house to get my share while 1t was
hot ! found she had baked me three
gingerbread men. and l took them out
under a hickory tree to eat them.
There was a family near us that
was a little poorer than we were. and
their boy came along as l sat down.
"'"Abe." he said, edging close. 'gim-
me a man.
~ gave him one. He crammed II
into his mouth at two bites. and looked
at me while | bit the legs of my first
one.

and as Il followed the first one, l said 4:
"'"You seem to like slngerbread?
ABE" he said, earnestly. Il don't
s'pose there's anybody ON this eartl,
likes gingerbread as well as do" and.

And the old politician said Mr.. Lin

ELECTIONS IN 1896,
Exceptional Interest Attaches to ar
Unusually Large Number Of Them.

From the New York Sun.
A larger number Of states will partici-
pate in this years presidential election
than in any previous presidential elec-
tion In the United States, and a larger
number or states too. will vote on the
same day. Tuesday, November 3, than
ever heretofore. the list of states hold
ing preliminary spring or autumn cleo
ttOns having been steadily reduced of
late years. None Of the doubtful states
now holds a preliminary election. and
one OF the last states to fall out Of the
early list Is Oregon, which In June, 1858,
sounded what the Republicans called
the opening gun" Of the Harrison and
Morton contest by Republican majori-
ty of 5000. In the preliminary election
OF June, 1892, In Oregon the result was
indecisive and unsatisfactory, the Re-
publican candidate al the head Of the
state ticket polling $1,000 votes. the
Democrat $4,000 and the POpulist 1900.
Later on the electoral votes of the state
were divided between Gen. Harrison
and Gen. Weaver.
On August there will be state cleo
tion in Alabama, and a reptitiOn of the
lively times OF 1892 and 1894 Is promised
In both elections kolb. former Demo-
crat, was the opposition candidate to
the regular party nominee. and the
claim was made that the results, as Of
ficially returned, did not correctly re-
present the vote cast. In August. 1892
Kolb polled 115,000 votes (or was credit
ed with that number) and his Demo-
cratic opponent 126,OO0. In the state
election Of 1894 in Alabama. Kolb had
$1,000 votes and Oates. his Democratic
opponent. 10000. Afterward Kolb
caused himself to be sworn in as gov
ernor, and u dual state administration
was for short time threatened. This
year a repetition of the fight Is probable,
and the national committee of the Re-
publicans will probably, as In 1882, be
asked to take hand in the contest
Three states will vote in September;
Vermont on September l, choosing
governor for two years: Arkansas on
September I. choosing a governor for
two years. and Maine on September A.
choosing also governor for two years.
On Octorher there will be state cleo
tion in Florida, and on tho Following
day. October I. a state election in Geor-
gia, which promises to be hotly con-
tested between the two Democratic fac
tiCnS.

Quiet Little Shop Here In washing
ton Where the Powder and Shot
Are Put In Paper When Mr.. CIeve-

on the Lower Potomac.

There Is one establishment In Washington
which the ducks of Quantico would rather
see blown to pieces than the White House
Itself. 1t is a quiet workshop on Capitol
Hill, where deft craftsman prepares the
cartridges for the Presidential gun, when
his exCellency goes cunning for the
fcathery innocents of Wide Water.
The Times artist caught the cunning
cartridge maker in the act some days ago,
and the reader will find In the pictorial
part OF this ecreei quiet corner in this
shop, ana the Identical machine before which
the gunsmith sits when at work loading the
shells.
The piano stool is not a part of the
machinery, but an easy seat is absolutely
necessary when the weather is very cold
and the ducks are very thick"
Ii is agree aDIc to know that the President
patronizes n home Industry ana does not
have his gun stufiing made by imported
Italians. 1t is also satisfactory to know
all about at least one " hitc House secret.
The chances arc that If an out-of-to wn
correspondent had heard that the Presi-
dent lad his auck-dt stroycrs manufactured
In Washington he would have gone up to
the White House to verify the story"
The fat coored gentleman at the door
would have taken his card 10 TO p. s.

that he hadn't heard ii, aud there fore"
there couldn't be much truth in ii. Either
that or 1T was an entirely private matter,
or that the Pre- sident's shooting ducks was
only matter of h6arsay, and 1t was be-
sides nobody's business.
If the correspondent, however insisted
on an investi igatiOn, he had better go over
10 the department OF ordnance a the war
and Navy building, where the Maple was
furnished.
The r. cord is now, however, complete.
The ducks are from Quanlico, the Maple
is a government boat, the gun belongs TO
the Pre- sident, aud the cartridges are made

KNOCKED DOWN And DROBBED
Contractor Van Horn Waylaid in
the Capitol Grounds.
Was Passing Through at Midnight
When Two Men Struck Him
From Behind.

John Van Horn, q contractor, reddened
with his blood, told the police that he had
been knocked down and robbed in the Cap
itol grounds at midnight.
Policeman Hayes was pa ssing along First
street northwest at l O'Clock this morning.
He thought he heard the grOan OF a man.
He halted that he might hear the better.
Soon the sound OF groan came out OF the
shades that fall ut night across tie pave
ment at the west OF the Capitol grounds.
Policeman Hayes moved in the direction
whence the sou nd came ana picked up anan
who lay PROSTATE on the street.
The policeman raised the strangers head
10 his knee nd the man said between his
groans: I've been hurt
That was evident TO the policeman. BlooC
flowed from cut on the bead aud little
pool OF gore stood in shallow OF tue
concrete
They came up behind me and hit me-
said the victim feebly.
Policeman Hayes soOn had his man at
the station and there IL was found that
his wound. though ugly, was not OF
serious nature. He was revived suffi-
GENTLY with police stimulants to tell his
story.
He said that he left the corner of
Second street and Pennsylvania avenue,
where he had been talking with friends
at 1l:3O CLOCK. he stOppeu once OF
twice and entered the Capitol grounds
at midnight on the way TO his home. Two
men were standing in the shadow at the
entrance to that waikway which hvecrsto the
northeast from First street west. he
paid no heed to these men.
AS he passed into the darkness OF the
grounds he realized that someone was
running at him from behind. He lodged,
but not effectively. Something heavy
struck him on the head and he sank to the
conc rete. He became unconscious and
knew nothing till the arrival of the Eo-
liceman.
He stated at the station that he had
$40 when he started home, but when the
policeman found him his pockets were
turned inside out and he was without
cent.
He was cared for during the night at

They follow:
There is for every point along q river
OF any considerable length time when
the diversion of the water at points far
above becomes not a blessing, but curse.
This time varies not only with the amount
OF water in'the stream and the amount
taken out, but also with the weather con-
ditions, a dry year resulting in diminished
seepagc and earlier passage Of tfc critical
point, and a cool year in Ictardation OF
the time when diversions above become an
injury.
This date, as rulC, gradually grows
