LINCOLN REMEMBERED.
And the Confederate Captain Riddle Was
Released From Prison.

a Kentucky contributor sends 10 The
Youths Companions pleasing anccdote OF
Abraham Lincoln. 1t has never before
been published, he SAYS, and was received
by him from the Other party TO the story,
who is still living in Kentucky. 1t illus
trates once more the genial. friendly tenn
per Of the great war president. During the
presidential campaign OF 1910, when Gen
eral William Henry Harrison was the Whig
candidate, Lincoln, then q young man just
rising into prominence, accepted an invi
tation to address an audience in Union
county, Ky, at a WhiS barbecue
He was met at landing on the Ohio
river about ten miles from the place of the
barbecue by a committee headed by Cap
tain George W. Riddle and was escorted TO
the meeting seated in a spring wagon by
the side Of Captain Riddle, the driver.
On the road Mr.. Lincoln entertained the
committee with several amusing anec-
dotes and on arriving at his destination
delivered an able and eloquent address
probably the only address that he ever de-
liyered in his native state.
After the speaking Captain Riddle, who
commanded military company, fired q
salute in honor Of the orator OF the day
but the cannon, an old six FOUNDER, was
ovcrcharged and exploded, though with
out any serious results. Captain Riddle
raised subscription to pay Mr.. Lincoln's
expenses, contributing literally himself,
and then escorted him back to the river
The future president was much pleased
with his visit and so expressed himself.
Many years passed. Mr.. Lincoln was
elected chief magistrate OF the nation, and
the civil war broke out. Captain Riddle
took sides with the south ard having ex-
pressed his opinions rather boldly was ar
rested for treason and sent to Camp Chase,
q military prison.
1T was dull and gloomy place for
me- said the old gentleman in relating
the story, ''and after l had remained there
about ten days got homesick and con-
cluded I would remind my friend Lincoln
of bygone hours. So wrote to MIN as fol.
lows:
"NY DEAR Mr.. PREs1DEST-After present.
ing my compliments to you I wish to remind
you that good many years ago l had you in
tow at Whig barbecue, near AoIganfeld, in
Union county, Ky. On taat occasion [ tried to
treat you kindly, and even burst my cannon
in firing a salute in your honor. hope you
have not forgotten it. Now, sir, you have me
IN tow, and am your prisoner here in Camp
Chase am lonesome ard horesick and want
to get back TO my old wife. Please let me 90.
Yours truly, GEORGE ". RIDDLE.
When Mr.. Lincoln received this letter,
he laughed heartily and at once wrote up
On the back of it: Please let Captain
George ". Riddle go home. a. Lincoln. "

carefully ard never through the nose,

means that the animal will spit out

Animals which are stubborn and will
not swallow, are often induc9d TO do
so by strokine the palate right b3hind

the horse a pill or, as 1t is termed, a

carefully give tie drerch. Should the

TnlEan's Object.

In discussing the tariff bill on Thurs
day Senator NlImao said he was one
OF the Democrats voting for duty ca
aw cotton. He avowed that be
vantad the bill loaded as heavily as
possible, so as to disgust the people
and make them turn the Republicans
out II his Democratic associates
could get any consolation by twitting
him for voting for his section in this
general game of grab, )" well and
good. AS TO the Republican Senator's,
he warned them that no tariff bill
would bring prosperity which gave
compensatory duties to the uanufac
turecs out OF the pockets Of the people

DEATH OF "NED" MAUNDER
Popular Man About Town" Dies
at the Providence Hospital.
\ Great Favorite With the Middle
Aged Generation OF Washington
ians- Consumption the Cause.

Edward Stuart Mauuder, one of the most
widely known men OF Washin gton, died
at Providence Hospital early yesterday
morning of consumption His death. while
not unexpected, came without warning,
and no one was at hts bedside when the
end came but Sister or Charity and u
hospital nurse.
Has friends have realized for some time
that his end was not lar OF ana eacA
day soue one of them was with him
District Attorney Davis, who was u
particular friend of his, saw him ON Tues
day and he was bnght and cheerful then.
and expressed the nope that he would
soon be on the Ioad to recovery.
Pmbably there was no better known
or more popular ''nan about town. in
Washington than Ned Maunder Every
body liked him for his happy, genial ma
ture, and hundreds OF men VIII miss HIM
MIddie-aScd men are those who remember
him best, for IL was in the 'T0's that
he was most prominent in Washington.
He was then a famous oaTsman, and i
member OF the Analostan Boat Club he
was also president of that club at one
titae. Twenty years ago this boat club
included in its membe rship men who are
today among Washington's foremost citi-
Zens- All of them knew and liked Ned
Maunder for he was ever ready 70 do a
kind act, tell a good story or take y
prominent part IN any social affair.
Mr.. MaundcT came OF good English fam
| lily, and he has today several brothers and
sisters living in England. One Of his sisters
| married William Cornish, who is now col
| lector of customs at Cardiff, Wales, and an
other married a banker named Edwards
| He has one unmarried sister and also a
| brother.
MIR Maunder left England and came to
| Washington about 1862 He was riding on
| a street car one day shortly after his ar
rival, when he heard man say he needed
a clerk. He at once approached this gentle
| man, who W as Col Robinson, Of the Army,
| and asked for the place.
His good address pleased Col Robin
son ana he engaged him. From that time
he was never in want OF position. for as
| he became known he won the guod will
| or all. He was at one time law clerk to
| Judge George N. Paschal ana was also en-
| ploved in the office Of the recorder of
| deeds.
When Governor Shepherd went to Ba-
topiles, Mex, Maunder went with him IS
| confidential clerk. He remained there
| nearly two years and then came back to
| Washington. He was known to take very
little care of himself, and it is supposed
that he contracted the germsof co nsumptioI
by exposure to all kinds of weather.
He entered Providence Hospital May
26, and steadily declined in health unit
death came yesterday.
His friends have taken charge Of hi
funeral arrangements, and he viii be in
