Responds to Toast at Lincoln Me-
mortal BANQUET Last Night.

The Republican Club of New York city
held its annual dinner in honor of Abraham

315 guests and members of the club were
present. Among those present were Gov
ernor Roosevelt, Horace White. Maj. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, Rear Admiral w. S. Schley
and ex-Gov. Levi p. Morton.
One of the features of the dinner was the
presence Of fifty-ive ladies, relatives or
friends of the gentlemen present. They
dined in the lower banquet room, down
stairs below the gold room. After the din
ner they listened to the addresses from the
balcony. The following letter was read:
The cordial invitation which your COM
mittee has been good enough to extend to
me to be present on the occasion of the
thirteenth annual Lincoln dinner of the Re
publican club of the city of New York Feb
luary Il next has been received, and am
very sorry that the pressure of my engage
mcntS will prevent my having the pleasure
of being with you on this occasion.
"Lincolns wonderful career, his fortitude
and self-sacrifice. his triumphs over pow
erty and adversely, his boundless faith in
the people and devotion to their interests
are among the priceless possessions of his
cOuntrymen. His name was long ago num-
bered with the immortal patriots whose
great deeds for mankind are the heritage of
freemen and the hope of a nations future.
Il sincerely appreciate the courteous in
vitation of your club. and trust that the
dinner may be most enjoyable one.
VERY truly yours.

BENT RIFLE WITH A HISTORY.
A Souvenir Of the Battle Of Manila
That Cost It's InsurGent Owner
His Life.

Among the many objects OF interest
in the collection OF war trophies and
curios from the Philippines that has
recently been placed on exhibition in
the Battle of Manila building on Wa
bash avenue is a bent and shattered
Remington rifle. This rife is of in
terest because Of the following story,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
During the first battles of the Amer
lean troops with the Filipinos around
Manila n charge was ordered to drive
the enemy from a strong position. The
charge took the American troops over a
rice field which the enemy had occupied
at the beginning Of the engagement,
but from which they had been driven.
As the American forces charged
across the piteous cries Of a wounded
Filipino for water excited the COM
passion Of one Of the boys, who hast
ened TO give him a drink from his can
teen. AS he knelt down by the side Of
the insurgent the latter drew O dagger
ard tried to stab him. Several OF the
American soldiers saw the attempt and,
Fastening up, took the insurgents gun
from beside him and beat his brains
out. This is the gun now on exhibition.
The weapon came into the possession
OF Douglas Young, editor Of the Manila
Freedom, and from him passed into the
possession OF the local exhibition. It is
OF the breech-loading pattern made in
1876 and long since discarded by the
American army.

BOAT SHAPED LIKE A FISH
VIII . Il Visitors 20 the Bottom of
the Seine at the Paris
Exposition.

The Nautilus will be the name of o
submarine boat which the exposition
people are building for use in 1900.
The Nautilus is being built out Of
white wood and solid steel, with all the
bolts and riyets and fixings inside and
out that mark the wonderful new mar
wells of seagoing craft.
The Nautilus is shaped like a fish,
which the builders tell the visitors is
the most desirable shape a boat can
have. The head Of the FISH contains the
engines and the steering gear; the tail
is for a balance; il does for the boat
much the same work that the tail does
for a fish. The main salon is in the
center, and here the passengers are to
gather for submarine trip. II the boat
10 successful there will be refreshments
served aboard and good times are
scheduled.
But the main object Of the submarine
machine is to enable people TO pay n
visit to the bottom Of the Seine. On
top of the strange craft there will be
a tower where the pilot sits. Here he
keeps a sharp lookout for surface
steamers, The boat is so built that il
can be quite submerged, yet with the
tower s,.rl. g. above the water. When
the boat dives tho n In the tower
can observe the surface of the river
above him by means Of the deep shad-
pws which the large passing boats ere
ate, The presence Of a boat overhead
does no harm unless the submarine
should wish To rise, in which ease II
would come up underneath the boat
and q submarine collision would estab-
lish a new feature in water casualties.
The sides of the strange fish will be a
heavy glass, through which the passen-
gers can observe the water and its in
habitants.
The Nautilus is supplied with COM
pressed air, Its means OF rising and
sinking are by the entrance OF water
and the driving out Of the same. When
the boat is to fall a chamber is opened
and the water PUSHES in. The boat
Immediately begins TO sink; and, when
"A certain amount Of water has entered,
the chamber closes automatically and
remains closed while the boat is pro-
PEELED by electricity through the water,
When the ascent is TO be made upward
through the waves, the water is pumped
out ALPHABETICALLY snd the boat, relieved
OF its weight, rises, There can be no
danger in any event.-Pittsburgh News,
