LINCOLN'S DEATH WOUND.
Just Where the Fatal Bullet Entered and
the Course 1t Took.

the Course 1t Took.
One of the assistants to Chief Clerk Syl-
vester of the Metropolitan police depart
ment is Harry p. Cattell, who has charge
Of the properly room. In his younger days
Mr.. Cattell was an embalmer. On Satur-
day morning, April 15, a few hours after
the death of the president, Mr.. Cattell was
directed to go to the executive mansion
and embalm the body.
1t is many years since the assassination
which excited such profound horror in all
civilized portions of the globe, and while
every reader knows how the beloved chief
executive met his death comparatively few
people of this generation know just where
the fatal bullet entered his body or what
course it took. Mr.. Cattell showed a re-
porter verbatim copy of the original re-
port, written by an assistant to Surgeon
General Barnes, who made the autopsy
The following is an exact copy:
yesterday Surgeon General Barnes, as
sisted by Drs. Stone, the late president g
family physician, Curtis, Woodward, Crane,
Taft and other eminent medical men,
made an autopsy in the presence of Presi-
dent Johnson, General Augur and General
RucRer. The external appearance of the
:aco Of the president presented deep black
stain around both eyes. The fatal wound
was on the left side of the head, behind
and in a line with and three inches from
the left ear. The course of the ball was
obliquely forward toward the right eye,
crossing the brain in an oblique manner
and lodging few inches behind that eye
In the track Of the wound were found frag
ments of bone, which had been driven for
ward by the ball, which was imbedded
in the anterior lobe of the left hemisphere
of the brain. The orbit plates of both eyes
were the seat of comminuted fracture, and
the eyes were filed with extravasated
blood. The serious injury of the orbit plates
was due to the center coup, the result of the

n. G. c. NEW MAJOR GENERAL AND
COL. MCLEAN.
They We're Chums at Annapolis
Drilled Rival Cadet Companies-An
other Classmate Captain.

Col. James, who has succeeded Maj.
Gen. Dmond in the y. G.. c., was Il
mate of Col Mclean of the n. q. IL.
at Annapolis. The two men entered
and graduated from the academy to-
gether. Both were in the same classes.
The last year at school Col. James
and Col. Mclean were each captains
of crack cadet companies, and were
competitors for the prize flag at grad
uation. Col. McLean's company took
the banner. James command was sec
ond with four companies in the con
test.
From Annapolis Col. James was as
signed to the Asatic station, where he
remained several years. and then re-
signed from the navy to accept po-
sition with the Pacific Mail S. S. Com
pany. Later he became the head of n
fire and marine insurance company.
He was one of the brightest men at
Annauols and bid fair to become a
valuable officer in the navy.
Col. Mclean last met his friend in
New York about three years ago. An
other man who was in the same class
is now a captain in the United States
army.

News which i. Good News to womep

1t is fact that our women who suffer
from female complaints and are conse-
quently weak, tired, nervous, dragged
out and full of pains and aches, do not
have the same opportunity to be cured
as do the residents of the great cities
where the most successful specialists IN
female diseases reside. In other words,
our women are debarred from seeking
a cure by the great and skilled physi-
clans owing to the cost of travel to the
large city and the high fees charged
by such specialists.
Here, therefore, is a chance for the
sick and suffering women of our COM
lnunity which should not be lost. DR..
Greene OF So West 18th street, New
York city, who has the largest practice
In the world and who is without doubt
the most successful specialist In cur
ing female complahfts, offers to give
free consultation by mail TO all women
suffering from these distressing weak
nesses, discharges pains and irregu-
larlties. You have the privilege OF con-
sulting DR.. Greene by letter describing
your complaints and he will, after care
fully considering your condition, send a

complaints so plainly that you will I'M

Ey NO Means So HO0ilsh as Often Sup

Hens are considered as entirely lack
ing in the faculty of self preservation
HuAted persistently, they seek cover
for their head only, forgetting that the
body is exposed to the follower. Fright
ened by light fall of snow, biddy is
quite likely to soar away to some high
branch or barn top and remain indefi-
ilitely unless Knocked down. Only a
few weeks ago, when there was scarcely
an inch of snow on the ground, one be-
came frightened, and, instead of run
ming long into her quarters she flew to
the ridge pole ofthe shed, and remained
there through the ght-below-zero
night, never budging an inch until sun
rise next morning, when, an effort being
made to dislodge her, she moved up on
to the barn top. 1t took a deal Of coax
ing and pelting to finally induce her to
return to her comfortable quarters.
At the same place the water began
to flow into the hennery about noon
on Monday. A flock of perhaps thirty
Plymouth Rocks craned their necks and
watched it queerly; then they moved up
into another apartment, where the floor
kept them out of reach temporarily.
Perches and other resting places were
then improvised and long before their
usual bedtime the birds had gone to
roost" on the temporary perches. A
narrow board was placed so as to make
the nests accessible, and things were left
TO await the possibilities of yesterday
morning. At o'clock that night eight
or ten of the thirty had managed to
walk across the slender patch to the
nests and We're nestled down in them
BY noon half the flock had been across
and back safely. Only one had missed
her footing and fallen into the water,
was chilled through at once, died, and
when discovered the ice had formed
about her solidly. She was deceptively
natural, sitting erect and her frozen
comb still retaining its blood-red
spring look.-Hartford Courant.

The Stock Market During the Early Trad
Ing Was, lii the Main, Firm

New York. March 5.-During the ear
ly trading at the stock exchange to-day
the market was, in the main, firm. The
Improvement in prices ranged from Il
to per cent and was most pronounced
In the case OF Tobacco and Burlington
and quincy. The short interest in these
stocks has assumed large proportions
OF late and, as usual in a limited mar
ket, spectators are nervous. 1t was
but natural for the shorts to rush in to
cover when the stocks referred to be-
gan TO give evidence of strength. The
bears in their efforts to cover put up
Tobacco to rs and Burlington and Quln-
cy to T75s When the demand from the
short Interest abated the market weak
ened. Baltimore and Ohio then sold
down to 15a. the lowest point ever
touched The weakness of the stock
finally affected the general list and in
the last hour the whole market was
heavy.
The weakness of Baltimore and Ohio
was due to the general belief that the
stock will be heavily assessed In the
proposed reorganization. 1t was an
nounced o-day that President Fitzger-
aid of the Mercantile Trust company is
to be the chairman of the reorganiza-
ton committee. August Belmont of the
Louisville and Nashville and Henry
Burdge of the Hallgarten & Co. have
been added to the committee
In the industrials Sugar and General
Electric were strong and Rubber and
Lacledc Gas irregular. The resigna-
tions Of President Bannigan and Direc-
tor Hollins of the Rubber company kept
this stock feverish.
In the closing hour the market was
weak on realizations. Net changes
show losses OF "a 1 per cent. Balti-
more and Ohio, however, lost 35s per
cent.

Relics of g Moose Fight,

Mr.. FL. G.. Mower, of Dexter, has on
his farm a log cabin which he has orna-
mented with various trophies Of the
chase. One is of uncommon interest.
1t is a single o horn of good size
with three broken prongs, that is a
relic Of a forest battle between two bull
moose that no man saw, but which was
SO desperately fought that both the
animals left their interlockcd antlers
on the field as a memorial of it's fierce
ness. Deep in the forest north Of
Mount Katahdin, Mr.. Solomon Bates,
Of Heresy plantation, a relative of Mr..
Mower, CHANGED upon these trophies.
The four horns were hooked together
and all were broken off squarely at the
base. The solidity of the bony struc-
ture of the horns indicates that they
were lost in the height of the season,
when they must have been firmly set
and could not have been wrenched of
without a tremendous struggle. They
certainly have a suggestion of forest
wildness and vigor about them as mute
proofs of such a conflict, that puts the
ordinary antler away into the hack.
