water in the boat aud suffered iearfully
from thirst. On "Wednesday evening the
boat drifted to the west end of Pelican ISL
and. They then went to the house OF an
old Frenchman, the sole inhabitant of the
island. He was not glad to see them, and
did not hesitate to tell them so, but upon
hearing their tale of woe consented to
give them some tea and bread. Then he
ordered them off the island saying such

they were permitted to sleep under the
house each with a board Tor bed. On
Thursday the old man not only refused To
give them anything to eat, but also refused
to put them across the channel In the
evening they succeeded in attracting the
attention of man In a yawl. and for a
consideration he brought them TO the city.

Mrs. Lincoln dressed well. even ex-
travagantly. In her book, "ehind the
scenes" Mrs. Keckley, who was Mrs.
Lincoln's dressmaker, speaks Of hav-
ing made fifteen dresses for her in
three or four months. This authority
says no queen could have comported
herself with more dignity than Mrs.
Lincoln at all public functions saws the
Harper's Magazine.
Yet this woman was stigmatized bv
a certain class of Washington society
as low, vulgar, even ignorant-without
any qualifications for the high sta
ton to which she had been called.
The calummy which wounded her
most deeply was her alleged sympathy
with the rebellion, which had it's sole
foundation in the fact that her Ken

with them since their childhood 1t
was said and believed that she ham

1t is certain she loyalty desired the
success Of her husband and the great

The New Woman Lawyer Faces a.
Hennepfn County Jury.

~, For the FIRST time in the history of Henne-

mas made her attack upon the sacred nre-
clncts OF court room, and yesterday Judge
Jadnlson and jury listened to the ei3ouerce
OF one or the gentler sex as she opened a case
to a jury. " N'S0
she appeared in a gown Of the very 1ates+
pattern, with chamois galore which set out
from slim waist at an angle of fortv-fve
degrees, and her waist was made with tbe
very latest puff shoulders and startling re-
vers. 1t was Edith M. Conant who is
law partner Of her husband and who for
the first time bearded jury in its den. The
new woman was not in the least nervous
and opened her case well, in spite Of the
natural odds against her, in feminine voice
which has a tendency to lisp Yet the turv
listened to her with a species of amazemenf
and did not lose a syllable Of the opening
The very gallant r. L. Penney was arrayed
against the new woman on the other side
and has the honor of fighting a legal point

The case in question Is that Of Jeanette r.
Miller VS.. Willard w. Morse In an action to
recover the value of some household goods
burned in the Security warehouse fire.
Mr.. Penney at once made a motion to dis
miss the case, on the ground that there was
no contract Of insurance, and he argued II
at length, but the new woman met him and
won the first round, the court CALAMITY SID

c. A. Pillsbury Talks on His Visit
to Washington.


Charles A. Pillsbury has returned from a
East including Washington. According IN
the remarks Of Mr.. Pillsbury, yesterday. the
only point of interest to the public in his
Visit to washington was in connection with
the matter of reciprocity. Said he:
was IN Washington in the interest Of
as the principle of reciprocity is concerned
there is no more need of anyone going to
argue 1t before the ways and means commit
Tee IMAM there would be Of arguing the ques-
ton OF protection, but when you enter into
the details of the question, 1t is quite a hard
nut to crack in a great many instances. Eor
example, the countries that are now discrimi-
natlng against us the most are GERMANY and
France, and they have goods we want to
admit free. ~
fixing the rate CT duty so it would answer for
protective purposes, and then double the duty
WIN the proV1so that, should they treat us
Ialr!y on the question Of admitting American
products, then the duty could be reduced.
think we should proceed on the opposite nrin-
c1ple to that Of the reciprocity clause in the
old Mckinley bill. That was to the effect that
II foreign countries did not treat us right
we would raise our duty on them. and was
rather IN the way Of threat. 1 believe
on some of their goods so high that we could
agree to reduce them in case thew treated
us fairly.
Take France, for example We are buv-
ing four or five times as many different arti-
cIes OF them as they are of u.s. simDIv he
cause they are discriminating against all Of
our grain and meat products. Now. if thew
40 not treat US fairly, l would put the dutv so
nigh on all their goods that the balance Of
trade would not be so much against u.s. Then
reduce all duties to the simple requirements
OF protection
