DOUGLAS AND LINCOLN.
Rivals in Love as Well as in poll
tics,


Rivals In Love as Well as in poll
tics.
-
In this week Of 1873, Stephen A.
Douglas was born In the midst of the
Vermont hills, and on the same day. no
doubt, little Abraham Lincoln, I years
old. held to his sisters hand and hunt
cd flowers in the Kentucky woods.
In 1888 Stephen A. Douglas. 20 years
old, arrived in central Illinois, seeking
fame and fortune. Abraham Lincoln
had preceded him four years in the
same field. on the same mission.
They met for the arst time in 1885 at
the capital of Illinois, Lincoln a MEM
Der of the legislature, Douglas a men,
Der of the lobby. They met again in
the same place in 1887, both members
of the legislature, representing oppos-
ing political parties. In the winter of
the same year. after the adjournment
Of the assembly, they met In their first
Joint debate on the political issues of
the times in the Presbyterian church OF
Springfield. They continued in politics
and practiced law before the same bar.
Douglas was the more brilliant and ag,
gressive, and his advancement was
more rapid. In 1888 he was unsuccess,
full candidate for ongre and Lincoln
was reelected to the state legislature.
In 1889 both were admitted to practice
in the state supreme court. In 1910
Douglas became secretary of state of
Illinois, and in the same year, when he
was 81 years old, he was elected a
member of the state supreme court.
In 1910 Douglas and Lincoln sought
the same lady for a wife, and Lincoln
won her.
Douglas went to congress for the sec
ond time in 1874, when Lincoln was for
the first time a candidate for the same
ONCE, and was detected for the nomina-
ton.
In 1916 they met again on even terms
politically, as members of the lower
house of congress, but the star of Doug
las was still rising, and in the follow,
ing year he was elected to the United
States senate. He was "a years old.
At the close of his term in
Lincoln dropped out of sight. He had
been a failure as a congressman. His
position on the Mexican war question
not only put him under a cloud, but it
defeated his party in his district at the
next election. From surface appear
ances he was a country lawyer, while
his young rival was one OF the most
brilliant stars in the politician heavens.
Lincoln. the athlete, was in secret
training before the race. Douglas, the
coacher, was preparing the course, and
the people Of Illinois, looking on. mis-
took him for the principal.
In 1852 Douglas was reelected to the
senate, In May. 1854. he launched the
Kansas-Nebraska bill. 1t made him the

ined a Staging Was Falling,
Made Jump 10 Save Himself, Fell 10 the
Floor and Died.

BANGOR, Me. Aug. IA peculiar case
of death has Just occurred, the circum.
stances connected with. ii being rather
remarkable. Richard Smith, v painter
and paper hanger. and a respected citizen
has been at work with a gang painting
the Windsor Hotel. The staging was
high i'm the air and great danger at
tended the job. Ho was very anxious
about the safety of the men, and 70
peatedly warned them to bs exceedingly
careful.
Last night ne had terrible dream, In
which he felt the staging give way
and plunge to the ground, the dream
making the staging fall much farther
than it could in reality. He felt himself
going down and down, ana believed a
companion was going with him. He
reached out TO save himself, and, making
a Jump, fell out OF bed ON the floor.
People in other rooms Of the house where
he boarded rushed in, and found him
paralyzod through one side. He had

The ArmingtOn & Sims
Stockholders Meet.
Action Postponed Until Meet
ing Next Monday.
Impression Prevails That Banks
Will Grant Extension.

The stockholders of the Arlington q
Sims Engine Company met this forenoon
at IL o'clock.to discuss the future poll
icy OF the concern, in view of it's present
financial condition. They were in ses-
sion three hours without taking any
definite action, and then adjourned un-
til next Monday.
Mr.. Rowland Hazard said after ad-
journment that the meeting was har-
monious and that the banks wonld un-
doubtedly give an extension OF time.
1t is now generally understood that
the future of the company depends
upon the action of two or three individ-
ual stockholder the most prominent
ones being Mr.. John w. Danielson, Mr..
Rowland Hazard and ex- Governo Roya
c. Taft.
The relations OF the Arnington and
Sims Company with the Henry q. Grams
ton estate have been misunderstood, and
an erroneous impression has become
more or less current Ia business circles.
AS matter OF fact, the late Henry y.
Cranston was not treasurer of the com
phuS ds W nohe VI tic stoS
holders. He was assistant treasurer, and
his duties were those OF financial agent.
He handled the paper of the corporation,
and was remarkably successful in floating
IL.
The Iranston estate is not debtor TO
the Arlington d Sims Company. On
the contrary, the corporation had over
drawn its account with MIR. Cranston TO
a very considerable extent. The capital
stock of the Armington & Sims Com
pany IS 1862, 500. Forty-seven per cent. on
the capital stock has been paid out.
The property of the concern cost $780,
600.
The total Indebtedness Mt the present
time is $3.50, 600, and OF this amount
$50, 900 is on mortgages.

Rhode Islands Democracy Wont
Amount to Three Hurrahs.

A member of the executive committee
of the Democratic State central commit
tee was asked today IL that organization
would adhere to custom and endorse a

judgeship left vacant by the death OF
Judge Carpenter.
"Oh, ycs," he replied, "we'll follow
custom and recommend some one, but
it WON'T mount to three hurrahs In the
hereafter. The Stuffed Prophet is dead
sore on us fellows. Look at what he did
when we wanted my friend Drinan
made marshal for this district. Is Drinan
marshal? / should say not. Has the
nations chief executive elevated him
from the obscurity OF the second dis
trlct OF the Sixth Ward? You know
only too well that he has not. So the
man that we endorse for judge IS the
man that won't get the joo of judging. I"
This indignant member OF the execu-
tive committee was asked what his choice
was, and he named Hon. Augustus s.

ence A. Aldrich.
