HISTORY IN A TABLET

Abraham Lincoln's nomination fur
the presidency of the United States Is
20 be cOmmemOrated by a tablet that
will be inserted in the ten-s,Ory steel
frame building now reaching skywaTd
ct the southwest corner OF Lake anu
Market streets. Chicago. Or this cor
ner stood in the COS the big frame
structure known as the Wiswam in
which the memorable republican con-
vention that nominated Lincoln was
held. The WiGwam was built in 1858
and was replaced about 1868 b. a four
story brick building that la-ely vas
demolished to make room for the
present building.
The site of the new building Is -0te-
worthy apart from its connection with
the birth Of the republican party. L
was occupied for many years by ;he
Sauganash tavern. which is said TO
have been the first frame house built
in Chicago. Ii was destroyed by fire
in 1851. The tavern was built in 1881
by a Mark Beaubien. a French Cana
dian who came to Fort Dearborn in
1926. Beaubien was famous for his
fiddling. and the violin with which he
entertained his guests nightly Is in the

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The biennial state election was held
In Maine last Monday. Governor Pow
erS was reelected by about $4,000 plu-
rality and Congressman Reed, Dingley,
Burleigh and Boutelle Will return TO
their seats with good majorities, but
with great reductions over the vote OF
TWO and four years ago.
The republican vote has fallen of 33
per cent, while the democrats have
made small gains. Lewiston. the home
of Senator Frye and Congressman
Dingley. elects four democratic repre-
sentatives TO the legislature. Joseph
H. Manley, chairman of the republican
state committee and a member OF the
republican national executive commit
tee. was elected to the legislature from
Augusta, district he represented some
years ago. SacO, the home OF the dem
ocratic gubernatorial candidate, Samu-
Ell l.. Lord. v hich is generally repuh-
lican, went democratic.
The democrats are elated. They say
the republican vote has fallen off 80
per cent while the democratic vote has
been increased by at least - per cent.
The members of the First Maine infan-
try, who are concentrated here, were

So great is the antiquity of the rose
that all account of its origin has been
lost. There seems every reason to
believe that the national flower of
England is the oldest of which there
is any record; to Englishmen, at least,
it seems a case of the survival of the
fitteSt. 1t is not mentioned in the Bib
lical writings earlier than the reign
OF Solomon, but the allusion to it then
made is such as to indicate that the
flower had already long been known.
In Egypt the rose is depicted on a
number of very early monuments. be-
lieved to date from 5000 to $500 e. c.,
and in the tomb of an Egyptian prin-
cess, disinterred a year ago in south
ern Egypt, several Theoretically sealed
Walls were found, which, when opened,
contained genuine altar of roses, so
that the modern claims for the dis
cOvery of this delicious perfume are
vain. Rose water, or the essence of
roses. is mentioned by Homer in the
''Iliad." Both the Greeks and He
brews probably borrowed the idea of
and these, for aught anybody can tell,
may have had it from the Chinese The
rose in one of those flowers which are
supposed by the people of every land
to be so well known as to need TO de-
scriptiOn and hardly mention, for 1t is
a singular fact that every continent
on the globe, with the solitary excep-
ton of Australia, produces wild roses.
Even the frozen regions of the north,
where the summer lasts but two or
three months. and is at best a season
which may be described as very late
In the autumn. produce their wild roses
and travellers through Greenland,
Kamschatka and northern Siberia
found. in the proper season, an abun-
dance of blossoms, while the crews Of
whaling vessels which call at Spitz-
bergen usually come off shore with
bouquets of the native Spitz5ergen
rose.

THE TRADE REVIEW.
Business Conditions Good in Spite o
Difficulties.

Business Conditions Good in Spite of
Difficulties.
R. G. Dun & Co. S Weekly Review of
Trade says:
Business is passing through the diff
ficulties that attend the winding up Of
war, which are generally better than
those involved while war is in progress.
The rush of orders kept back while
war lasted by those who thought it
shrewd not to take any chances has
lifted prices a little and caused larger
demand for the time than can continue,
but though it has passed there is an
evidence that the consuming demand is
very large.
Failures for the week have been ia
in the United States, against 204 last
year, and % in Canada, against 40 last

~ SLIGHT GAINS BY DEMOCRATS.
Very Flew Changes Shown by Little
Town" Elections in Connecticut.

New Haven, Ct., October 3.-The am
Gus s@Little Town elections" were held
in Connecticut today, 1862 of the 16S towns
in the state electing officials of the town
governments, in many cases voting on
the liquor license question and in few
instances settling permanently or tenn
porarily the question involving the
abandonment of the district school system
in favor of consolidated schools under
town auspices.
The towns and cities not participating
in these unique elections were: Hart
ford, New Haven. Bridgeport, Ansonia,
Derby and Naugattuck.
Returns up to midnight had been re-
ceived from 1870 towns of the 162 voting
and the tables show Republican victor
les in 90 towns; Democratic success in
80, and the election of split tickets in six.
Full returns from all the towns in the
election of 1897, showed 10i towns to be
Republican, ,26 Democratic and 33 divided.
Comparing the full returns Of last year
with the returns received thus far from
today's elections, the Republicans have
lost nine towns, while the Democrats
have gained four. However, of tie 80
towns missing tonight, ~ went Republic
can last year; five Democratic and 10
were divided. In view OF the TACT that
many of the missing towns are in conced-
ed Republican strongholds. it is believed
that the full figures of this year will
show but little change from those OF 1897
The most notable gains made by the
Democrats were in Fairfield and Litch-
field Counties There is but little change
in the liquor license situation.
Comparatively little interest was taken
in the elections except as they are taken
hry InHInaT1n0
tests.
In three cities, Norwalk, South Norfolk
and New LonGon, city election were also
held but the counts at a late hour had
not been completed.

The Sth United States volunteer infan.
ry and two companies of the Indiana
colored volunteers now at Fort Thomas.
KY, will relieve the 9th volunteer infan-
try at Chickamauga.
All the troops at Camp Meade will soon
be ordered to points in the South. Some
of them may go to Cuba, but the majori-
ty will for the present occupy the new
camps recently selected in Georgia and
South Carolina.
1t is thought that the troops sent to
garrison duty in Cuba will not remain
long, but when they nave seen the SER
vices for few months will return to
this country. The same is probably true
as to Porto Rico. 1t is almost intimated
that when the troops return, the volun-
teerS Will De given oO Gays Iurlougn ana
be mustered out.
By that time Congress will have had
an opportunity to decide what should
be done in regard to garrisoning the new
possessions.
This determination is no doubt due to
the pressure that has been brought by
number of Congressman for the mus
tering out of the volunteers from their
states and districUs.
Although the pressure for the muster
out of regiments is not so great. the de-
mand for the discharge of individuals
has overwhelmed the department. There
is not a senator or representative scarce
ly who has not presented requests of this
kind, and there is a constant demand
for the discharge of one man or another
on some pretext. These requests and the
demands for mastering out have no doubt
had their effect in making the war offic-
ials seek some more secure methods of
army organization for the purposes for
which the army will be needed in the
future.
