Gen. CORrOth Was a Lincoln PAIL
belrer.

Gen. Conroth Was a Lincoln PAIL
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In a recent issue Of your paper assertion
was made that the only survivors. of the
distinguished men who acted as pallbear-
ers at the Lincoln funeral were Represen-
tative Worthington and Senator Dawes.
The Star evidently overlooked General A.
H. Cofroth of Somerset county, Pennsyl-
vania, then a member of Congress, and who
was not only a palIbearer on the occasion
mentioned, but was in the theater at the
time of the assassination and helped to re-
move therefrom the dying President. The
general still lives in the county mentioned,
and was doubtless somewhat surprised to
find that at the capital he was reckoned
among the dead. Probably The Star fell
into the error from the knowledge that the
general has always been a democrat, and.
despite his weight Of years, has always
kept with his party in all it's twistings and
turnings, requiring a suppleness of spine
and a supply Of wind which might easily
have sent to the grave better man. But
the general Is alive, very much SO, and on
the very day The Star lost sight of him his
democratic friends of his home county as
sembled In convention, Endorsed him as a
candidate for governor, and the general,
cOncealing his bushes, came forward and
gave evidence that he was alive in
speech which is reported by local paper
as follows:
He was glad, he said. that he had al
ways remained faithful to his party, no
matter whether it declared for high tariff
in it's state platforms and for free trade
In its national platforms for single gold
standard at Allentown or for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1 without the consent of any other
nation at Chicago: that he had remained
its steadfast friend throughout all of it's
checkered career. even when 1t compelled
It's members to go to bed with one set of
principles and get up with another; that
he was in favor of the money of the Con-
stitution not the money of Jackson or JEFF
ferson or any other old medium of ex-
change. but the money the Chicago plat
form demands. be they 5O-cent dollars or
golden eagles.
The Star should certainly make amends
to the general and not let the public think
he Is dead. for a man with such vitality
and versatility cannot be suppressed, and
his nomination for governor may be but
the first step toward a place upon the ma
tional demoor ratio ticket in 1900. Bryan
should keep en- eye upon him.

"CONsTABLE,s ADVENTURE.
Futile Effort to Get Property Upon
Which He Had Levied.

Constable Benjamin F. Edwards had an
exciting experience this morning in Can
terbury alley, in the rear of the District
building, when he went to serve a writ on
a colored man named Hiram Walker. The
writ alleged that Walker owed a bill of
$S.25. and the constable attempted to levy
on Walkers ash cart, drawn by horse.
The animal was standing in the alley, and
Walker was putting ashes in the cart,
when the constable appeared with writ
Issued by Justice Church, and gave notice
that he was going to take charge of the
outfit.
mo. you amt goin' ter take my horse"
shouted the colored man.
Constable Edwards recognized the fac.
that trouble would likely follow, and he
summoned young man named Charles e.
Adriance to act as his deputy Adriance
took hold of the lines, but he could not
move the flesh and bones of Hiram Walk
er's steed.
There's a man back here in the alley re-
sisting an officer" said the constable when
he entered the detective office.
Thinking a policeman was having trou-
BILE, Detective Proctor was on his feet in
an instant and was making his way to-
ward the door, when the constable added:
Hes trying to serve a writ
That's a different matter" remarked
the detective. who suddenly halted. You
will have to settle your own matters" he
added.
The constable returned to the alley. This
time he took with him stalwart colored
man, who he thought would accomplish
what Adriance had failed to do, but the
cciored man took in the situation and
laughed. He refused to accept the position
OF deputy constable.
"Tn get somebody this time remarked
the officer as he left the alley, while the
sympathetic crowd cheered the colored
man, who was still holding to the horse.
Joseph E. Hopkins, q white man, next
appeared, and he tugged at the horse and
pushed against Walker. Adriance also
pulled at the animals bride, but the beast
remained true to his master, and instead of
going forward he came near backing
through a wall into stable.
Police whistles had been blown, and Po-
liceman Wheeler appeared upon the scene
The Juggling away at the horse by the
three men, he thought, was likely to cause
trouble, and he marched them over to the
Police Court.
Then the constable thought the field was
clear, and he would take the team, but the
appearance of Col. Perry Carson proved
an obstruction more potent than Walker
A few minutes later the constable was
summoned to appear in court, and the an
imai was left in peace. unattended.
Prosecutor Pugh called the case of al
legged disorder before Judge Kimball, and
Attorney w. Calvin Chase appeared for the
owner of the team. The case was thrown
out of court, and Walker was first to re-
turn to the alley. When the constable re-
turned he was told by some men that the
horse had been driven from the alley, while
others said the team had been put away
in a stable The result was that the con-
stable did not get possession Of the team.

The war on department stores In Chi
cngO has entered on curious phase.
An appeal was first made to the Legls-
lature for the passage of State law to
break up the big establishments. but
nothing was done at Springfield. Then
the City Council was attacked, and an
ordinance was passed by that body
from which much was hoped. But the
result has been disappointing, and the
promoters Of the movement have con-
cluded that relief cannot be secured In
this way. The next step In the cam
palgn Is very curious. The complaint
against the big stores has always been
that they undersell the small stores. \
number of small dealers have now
agreed to pool their issues ana try to
undersell the undersellers. They pro.
pose to open large store In the heart
Of the city, which will be supplied with
goods by the cooperating merchants,
each of whom Is to get a percentage OF
profits from all sales to customers lly'
ing in his district. The district mo-
tlon is an odd one. but the fundamental
idea underlying the enterprise Is sound

BONDS AND WAR.

Spain has made a prodigious show
OF wanting to try conclusions with the
United States, probably with the idea
that the holders Of her bonds would
advance more money to protect what
they had already invested. Her
financial managers however, it ap-
pears have Overestimated the credul-
1ty OF the unfortunate people now
holding deprecated securities. There
are other bond interests to be consider
ed besides her own and, behind
the curtains of all their var prepar-
ations is the guiding hand of the bond
holders protecting his pocket. Wall
Street IS crying peace for fear that a
Spanish cruiser will drop a shell into
the stock exchange and every time a
Spanish gun is pointed toward New
York, stocks tumble in Wall Street.
The stock quotations show the cowar-
dice of capital.

DANGER ON THE TRAILS.

When the spring thaw along
the trails that lead from tide water TO
the Yukon Valley, there will be told
a story of terror and death that vii.
create a sensation. There a be no
doubt that hundreds Of lives have
been lost along the rivers, the
lakes, and along the trails, of which
no sign has thus Tar been given.
The whole country is covered with
snow, and the streams locked in ice.
Hundreds of men have given up their
ives IN vain attempts to reach the
gold regions. Their friends at home
have no expectation of hearing from
them until regular communication
shall be established in the late spring.
There is no way III which a record of
the fatalities along the trails and in
the treaCherOus waters that lie be-
tween Skaguay and Dawson can now
be made. When the SHOWS are
melted many a CHASTITY find will be
made along those desolate passes.
No doubt hundreds of Adventures
will lever be heard of again, for in
many cases all means of identified
ton will have been DESTROYED. It is
equally true that fearful scourges
will follow the spring breakup. It
is asserted that there are more than
two thousand dead horses along these
routes. When warm weather comes
the air will be heavy with nauseous
odors, and diseases will certainly
follow fast. In the mad rush to the
FL Dorado of Alaska no one will think
OF taking measures for protecting the
general health. The devil take the
hindmost' will be the only law
nlzed; and there will be MANY who
will yield to the contagiOn that will
most certainly appear when the snow
