WILL TAKE ACTION.
Grave of President Lincoln's Mother
to BE Put in ReDair.


A special from Indianapolis says: The
letter of President Mckinley to Governor
Mount calling attention TO the neglected
condition of the grave of President Lin
6oln's mother created much comment in
official circles, and sentiment was pro-
nounced that the State ought to take some
action to preserve the spot in slightly
condition.
When Governor Mount was seen he
said that he had not given the matter any
attention yet, but intended to do so at
once. 81 have been at the grave,n said
he, ''and II was in a very neglected con-
dition, weeds growing over it, and the
half acre in which it is situated having
weird, uninviting look.
IL would use part of my Office con-
tingent fund 10 put the place in order, but l
find that will not be able to do so, as l
must meet other obligations with it. The
only plan l can adopt is to secure the
money and eXpend it and trust the Legis-
latnre to reimburse me. l will devise
some plan shortly to meet the case"

Finds $4,000 in Gold.

AT Atlanta, Ga, ten days ago, j. P.
Crocker was found dead in his front yard,
with bullet hole in his temple, and the
case was passed over as one of suicide.
The administrator has found in the cellar
OF his house an iron safe, the locks OF
which were rusty with age. Inside were
10000 in gold, besides valuable papers.
Then the widow acknowledged that she
knew of the safe, but had been sworn by
her husband to secrecy even from her
children. Even then she did not dream
of such an amount of money being in it.
The theory of death now is murder at the
hands of burglars.

Grant As a Thinker.

In Campaigning with Grant," i'm the
Century, Gen. Horace Porter says: II
was an interesting study in human ma
ture to watch the Generals actions in
camp. He would sit for hours in front
of his tent, or just inside of it looking
out, smoking a cigar very slowly, sci
dom with a paper or a map in his
hands, and looking like the LATEST man
in camp. But at such periods his mind
was working more actively than that
of any one in the army He talked less
and thought more than any one in the
service. He studiously avoided per.
forming any duty which some one else
could do as we'll or better than he, and
in this respect demonstrated his rare
powers of administration and execu.
tive methods. He was one of the few
men holding high position who did not
waste valuable hours by giving his per.
sonal attention to petty details. He
never consumed his time in reading
over court-martial proceedings, or fig
uring up the items of supplies on hand,
or writing unnecessary letters or com.
munications. He held subordinates to
Il strict accountability in the perform
ance of such duties, and kept his own
time for thought. 1t was this quiet but
intense thinking, and the well-matured
ideas which resulted from it, that led
to the prompt and vigorous action
which was constantly witnessed during
this year, so pregnant with events.
A Lucky Shot.
Gen. Grenville NJ. Dodge, who as
grand marshal of the Grant monument
parade so ably managed it's various de-
tails, was badly wounded in the opera
tions before Atlanta while commanding
an army corps under Gen. Sherman.
Gen. Dodge was making reconnois-
sance, and, as an eyewitness, Capt
Smith, of Illinois, belonging to the
army of the Tennessee, describes it,
had just raised his field glass to his
eyes when the bullet of Confederate
sharpshooter struck him in the head
1t was frigbtful wound and believed
by those about him to BIZ fatal. Capt
Smith, however, thinks it was lucky
shot for Dodge's corps, because just be.
fore being hit the General received an
order from Sherman directing him to
charge the enemy in his front As
there was clear, open field before
him the carnage would doubtless have
ben terrible. But the order was not
opened, and the wOunding of Gen,
Dodge delayed its opening for some
time, consequently the charge was not
made. In the meantime the enemy Oh
the front was flanked on its right and
compelled to retreat. The SharpShOOt
ers' shot. it Is believed, saved the lives
and limbs of many Il comrade of the
Army of the Tennessee that day.
