PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S HAT.
Judge Cole Says Ii Belongs to the
GOYerAmeAt.

Government.
of the late Rev. DR.. Phineas d. Gurley and
the government over the possession of an
old stoveppe hat of Abraham Lincoln
Judge Cole this afternoon decided that II
belongs to the government. and directed
the marshal to surrender 1t to the proper
government custodian.
The Gurley estate last winter found the
hat in the 10th street museum, and sued
out writ of replevin for it before Justice
OF the Peace Church. The estate, claiming
that it WAS one presented to DIR. Gurley by
Mrs. Lincoln. and by his family loaned to
the government twenty or more years ago,
the justice awarded the possession of 1t to
the Gurleys estate, whereupon the govern
ment appealed.
In the trial Of the appeal before Judge
Cole. several days ago. the judge directed
a verdict in favor of the government on
the ground that the states suit for its re-
covery was barred by the statute Of liEni-
tatioHs.
Mr.. Walter c. Clephane, for the estate,
gave notice of a motion for a new trial.
and that motion the judge overruled this
afternoon.
The Judge also decided that it would not
dc to allow the estate to retain the hat by
paying pecuniary damages. and, therefore.
ordered the marshal to turn the hat over
to the proper officer of the government.
There is no appeal from this decision of
Judge Cole, and the hat will, therefore
Iemain forever in the custody of the gov
ernment.

SMALLER POTATO CROP,
Decrease of Over Fifty MilliO,
Bushels From Lust Year.

A Decrease of Over Fifty Million
Bushels From Lust Year.
CHICAGO, October 23.-The Orange Judd
Farmer tomorrow will say: A smaller acre
age and decreased rate Of yield are result
ing In a decidedly smaller and more manag-
able crop of potatoes. The amount availa-
BILE for market is by no means as burden
some as was the crushing crop of 1895. The
crop now being harvested is placed by this
authority al 245. 900 bushels, a decrease
cf more than 5O.OO0.OOO bushels, or 17h per
cent. compared with a year ago. The total
area harvested approximates .s65, 600 acres,
which in turn Is 10h Per cent short of last
year. &c
Growers almost uniformly devoted less
land to this staple. this being particularly
true in some of the, northwestern states
which in 30 showed an abnormally in
creased area. UneQually distributed rain
fall Is given as chief cause for the shorter
rate of yield.
The average yield per acre for, the whole
country Is placed at Sc per cent per acre.
against 93 last year. These reports make
the Canadian crop 55.3OO.OOO bushels, a de-
crease of nearly 13,OOO,OOO bushels compared
With '95. In view Of the shortage on this
side the ocean and the smaller crop in Ger
many and England, the outlook for prices
to farmers is certainly better than a year
ago.

JOHN F. ENNIS DEAD
An Old and Esteemed Citizen Gone to His
Reward.

Mr.. John F. Ennis, one of the Oldest and
most respected citizens of Washington
who for half a century occupied a dis
tinguished place among the members Of
the American bar died this morning at
the residence Of his sister. Mrs. John F.
Ellis. so 9th street northwest The I'M
mediate cause Of his death. which occurred
at o'clock, was cerebral hemorrhage. due
to a stroke Of paralysis. and the end came
peacefully and without suffering.
Mr.. Ennis received stroke of paralysis

had been confined to his house. under the
medical care Of DR.. George Byrd Harrison.
He was able to walk about his residence

ton until the last.
Mr.. Ennis was born in Washington and
had lived here all his life. He received his
early education and was graduated at Mt.

and achieved distinction even at that early
age among his fellow students. After q
graduation in law he commenced the prac-
tice of his profession in Washington and
continued to do SO until within the past
six months.
His death was q great shock to every
one. as 1t was believed he was improving
rapidly in his general health. He retired,

was stricken with his fatal malady about 2
o'clock. Mr. Ennis was about seventy-five
years Of age and was bachelor. He was

joyed a large and lucrative practice in the
local courts for many years.
He took deep interest in public affairs
and had the confidence and friendship of
many Of the most distinguished men who
came to the capital 10 transact their pub
lie duties. While a man of somewhat re-
firing disposition he enjoyed the friendship
of a large circle. and his genial disposition
and kindly humor made him popular to a
high degree.
For many years Mr.. Ennis lived on F
street near the corner of 18th street. and
not until the residences In his vicinity had
all been transformed into business houses
did he submit to the demands of trade and
dispose Of his home. Since that time he
has been living at the home of his sister.
Mrs. Ellis, on 9th street. The funeral viii
take place Sunday afternoon in St. Pat
ricks Church. of which Mr. Ennis had
been member since his earliest childhood.
and his remains will be buried in Mt OIL
vet cemetery.
President Davis has called a meeting of
the Bar Association for the early part of
next week. when the friends of the de-
ceased will be given an opportunity to pay
tributes to his memory and appropriate ac-
tton taken in regard to his death.
