CEMENTERIO DE COLON.
A MARBLE CITY OF THE DEAD ON THE
OUTSKIRTS OF HAVANA.

Havana, Dec. 1.-While Spain may have car

THE OLD MAN DID NOT PLEAD WITH ABRAHAM

From The Chicago Inter Ocean.

From The Chicago Inter Ocean.
Colonel Koch. OF Chicago. a veteran OF the
Civil War. tells an anecdOte In the life of Abra-
ham Lincoln as related to him BY Schuyler
Cofax.
One day his way to the Executive Man
sion Colfax came upon an old man just out
side the Capitol grounds. looking so detected
and miserable that the genial Speaker stopped
and spoke to him. The old man begged for aid

far all his efforts had been unavailing-and
added that 1t Of life and death.
Cclfax. moved by the old mans distress. brought
him. trembling with conflicting hope and fear,
directly into the great and kindly presence.
without wasting moment upon preliminaries,
the petitioner plunged into the heart of his
trouble-an old story now grown sadly familiar
to the Presidents ear. Briefly. his son had been
sentenced to death for having slept at his post.
He had relieved a sick comrade the night before,
and overwOrn nature had succumbed. Lincoln
listened. all the kindness Of his great heart re-
nected in his eyes; but he had already issued
50 many pardons for this offence that it was be-
ginning to have dcmoralizing influence upon
a most important part OF the service. an0 Con-
gress had thought best to give the power OF con-
hrmng the death sentence directly to the gem
erals in charge. In this particular case, too,
Butler had written the President strenuously
urging him to turn deaf ear to any one plead
ing for the offenders pardon. rs the discipline
Of his Army absolutely required an example.
With a troubled air. therefore. Lincoln said:
MY good sir | would give anything possess

himself is powerless here. am under orders
not to issue another pardon for this particular
sentinel. | sympathize deeply with your sor-
row. but must refuse your request.
80 that is all the President OF the United
States can do for me-" faltered the old father.

The old man stood motonless in the deep
silence that followed the Presidents ultimatum
Then taking a step forward, he said: THE

duty. Now. want to hear from Abe Lincoln

After a minute OF intense thought LiDcoln's
face took on an expression Of radiance as he
exclaimed:

ing his pen he rapidly wrote two duplicate
orders. handing one to the petitioner, who read:

orders from the Executive Office.

The boxes are then slowed away In tin cans or
chests which hold enough for single dinner.
These are sealed and piled up in the refrigera-
tor where the temperature is kept even the
whole year around. The steward tells me that
ice cream that is left from one voyage is used
on the next. He has known it to keep In good
condition for two or three months
In Denmark some one has discovered process
by which milk can be preserved in a similar
manner by freezing it into blocks, and the
process is said to be a great success. Fresh
milk in cans cannot be kept longer than forty
eight hours without losing something OF its
flavor. but it is claimed that milk frozen by tho
new process may not only be preserved an In

Officers On a Midnight Chase rsake
 Daylight Capture.
 Saturday night ,or perhaps more properly, Sunday morning, a horse and cart belonging to Chris Montgomery was securely hitched to a post in the court house square. MT. Montgcm- cry resides about fourteen miles south east of town and because he was anxious to reach home for Sunday de- votions he took particular pains to properly tie that horse to the post. It took Mr. Montgomery long time Saturday night to wind up his business affairs, but once these were completed he hurried to the court house eager to start for home.
 Just as he crossed the street to the place where his horse and vehicle were plainly in view he was surprised and somewhat shocked to see a man jump into his cart, hit his horse a cut with his whip and the whole outfit gallUp off in a westerly direction. He called loudly and invitingly to the man to stop, but the calling was in vain. He followed until it dawned upon him that he was lessening the distance between himself and his fleeing chattels, lie wise between himself and the city of Phoenix. Then he sadly retraced his steps.
Arizona republican., 1898-07-04

Officers Molloy and Galpin upon be- ing informed of the state of affairs ex- isting between MT. Montgomery, his horse, cart and the stranger, at once procured saddle horses and started in pursuit. They followed a trail lead ing out to the Yuma road, and they followed it a distance of Eine miles before they discovered the disheart- ening fact that they were trailing the wrong cart.
 During the day, however, Officers Galpin and Molloy were to 5e seen smilingly escorting a colored gentle man up Washington street towards the jail He is supposed to be the culprit, and if this proves to be the fact, the further fact that his past record is an unsavory one and not omitted from the dockets of our crim- inal court, will go far towards hiding Ben Hall from the public gaze for some time to come.
 Mr. Hall refuses, positively refuses to state what, if anything, he did with MT. Montgomery's horse and cart, and MT. Montgomery is mourning not only the loss of the rig, but the lost devo- tions as we'll

THE PHILOSOPHER.

"You are welcome to my den, though how you discovered it is a puzzle to me I love company well enough, but when you reach my time of life you will realize the necessity for place where you can feel safe from intrusion. Have you ever mo- ticed how the old folks like to get into corner alone and how they remain there by the hour, apparently con- tented? The reason for this is sim pie one. You young folks are living in the present, and looking ever for ward to new joys, new pleasures and new -pastimes- Your hopes, and am bitions are with and ahead Of you We old people live altogether in the past All our joys and happinesss lie in the years that have gone. Not all the hap piness, because we are happy in the present power to remilisce, and if the past has haid more of pleasure than pain ir !t our thoughts make us happy again in the recall of that past.
 Tonight, for instance, just as your knock sounded on my door, I was fairly chuckling over memories appro- priate to this day and time My mind went back to my first cannon. h those days pennies were hard to get by boys on the farm. I ran errands and did extra chore duty for six months both at home and among the neighbors before I had succeeded m getting together an amount to cover the price Of very small cannon and flask Of powder. It seems like 1t were only yesterday that trudged the four miles from town to home with the box containing my deadly treasure well wrapped and tied around with plenty of twine. It was the after noon of the 3d, and I reached home just as the sun sank to rest Of course I was going to load It and fire it off at once, but the dear parents insisted that supper came first, and during the meal discussion was on the mo- tion whether the bombardment of the atmosphere should not be deferred un- til the next day. It is needless for me to say that the majority was solid to bed, our hearts full stomachs empty and rebellion rife in our young minds.
 '-The cannon went to bed with us SC that we did not have to hunt for it St break of day on the morning of the Fourth. We were up and out be- fore there was any other feet ctirringg in the house, Sue insisted upon su- perintending the leading I rammed i'll Q few wads of paper and then more powder, she advising plenty of the lat ter.

The remarks in The Republican some days since urging farmers To use wide-tired wagons is right to the point. The next legislature should enact law forbidding the use of tires under three inches wide. It is a measure demanded by the public good, and would conduce to better health and morals. By the way, how is this for rallying cry for the fall cam paign: Good roads, no hobos!" It would take, if adopted in good faith.
