MAKING LINCOLN PRESENTABLE.
Mrs. Lincoln "Fixed Up" the Presi-
dent Elect to Meet Delegation.

In narrating when Lincoln Was First In
augurated," in the March Ladies' Home Jour
nal, stephen FislSe writes Interestingly of the
memorable journey from Springfield, ILL.,, TO
the national capital, and tells of Mrs. Lin
coins efforts TO have her husband look pre-
sontable when receiving delegation that
was to greet them upon reaching New York
city.
''Tho train stopped" writes Mr.. Fiske,
'and through the windows immense crowds
could be seen; the cheering drowned the blow
ing off steam of the locomotive. Then Mrs.
Lincoln opened her hand bag ana said
Abraham, 1 must fix you no bit for
these city folks.
Mr.. Lincoln gently lifted her upon the seat
before him; she parted, combed and brushed
his hair and arranged his black necltie.
Do l look nice now, mother Z be affec-
tionately asked.
- Well, you'n do, Abraham, replied Mrs.
Lincoln critically. So he kissei her and
lftei her down from the seat, and turned to
meet Mavor Wood, courtly and suave, and to
have his hand shakon by the other New York
Officials -

The Hon. Charles Permanent Bennett
has filed the office of Secretary of State
for we don't know how many years and
the character of his work has been such
that his fellow-citizens have no idea of
displacing him. But we observe that the
non-partisan element from Providence
that runs the Democratic party does not
hesitate to put up somebody against him
every time, apparently holding the view
that there is big difference twixt "A
tweedledum, as represented by non -polit-
ical Office in the state, and the tweedledce
OF the same nature in the municipality.
However SO long a. tho Democracy likes
TO do it and can find candidate imbued
with a sufficiently sincere non partisan
spirit to perform his straight duty as a
plain Democrat and run, nobody else
need worry.

GOT A CHECK CASHED.
Young Hawkins Gets Himself Into
. Trouble. u
Forged Mr.. Taylor's Name, Obtained
Monty and DISAPPEARED.

Frederick Hawkins, the l7-year-old son of
William Hawkins, Jr., who lives at ia Han
over street, is accused of serious offence. He
forged tho name of X. W. Taylor TO a check
for sl'O and loft the city, it is presumed, as
the detectives are unable to find him. Mr..
Taylor is head salesman for the firm of Whit.
ford, Bartlett a. Co., and he also keeps a
grocery store. Young Hawkins was employed
by Whitford, BARTLETT a. Co., and his duties
included that of making daily deposits in the
bank. Tuesday young Hawkins took "a check
for 500 TO the First National Bank, where no
was well known, and received cash for it,
subsequently IL was discovered that the sig
nature was a forgery. Mr.. Taylor had been
noticing tendency on the part of the boy to
20 wrong, and no gave him fatherly advice
regarding tho error OF his ways. The check
WAS cashed by clerk at the bank, and on the
return of tho cashier the forgery was discov-
cred. No charge has been entered against
young Hawkins and IT is understood today
that the boy father will make good the loss
to the bank and there will be no prosecution.

IL looks as If affairs i'm Cuba were rap
! idly approaching climax that shall be
| final.
The war on the insurgents by the Span
| ish troops seems TO be progressing in u
markedly desultory fashion. We do not
get many paper statements from Havana
reporting this or that engagement and
triumph or promising this or that venture
for renewing the attempt TO crush the
revolution. There seems to bo a lull Of n
decided and probably significant character.
The rainy season is approaching and soon
not even the pretence of hostilities can be
kept up.
At home, i'm Spain, the government is
reaching what looks To be positive end
to her military and financial resources.
The sinews of war will soon be once again
exhausted and their renewal is next to
impossible. There is neither spirit in
the people to make il safe to call out more
reserves for shipment 10 the scat of war
nor funds to pay for it.
1t is hardly likely that Spain will rccog-
nize the independence of Cuba, but that
the war will cease by default of further
Spanish effort to push it seems now likely
and that at very early date. We believe
the government at Madrid has never
recognized the independence of her
colonies all over South America, that are
now Republics, and at all events peace and
independence We're finally secured to them
simply by the withdrawal of the Spanish
troops and cessation of effort by the
mother country to longer hold them
After the same fashion may Cuba be free
Recognition at Madrid is not an essential
To Independence.

According to curious study made by a
calendar manufactures as noted in New
York paper no century can begin on
Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every twenty
years. October always begins on the
same day of the week as January, April
as July, September as December. February,
March and November begin on the same
days. May, June, and August always
begin on different days from each other
and every other month in the year. The
first and last days of the year are always
the same. These rules do not apply to
leap year, when the comparison is be-
tween days before and after February 90.
You arc at liberty to prove these rules for
