ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN.
Mrs. Harriet Riddle Davis Relates
an Incident Concerninz II.

The last meeting for the season Of tho
Columbia Historical Society. held last
evening at the Shorehsm. was enlivsned
with an interesting paper by Mrs. Harriet
Riddle Davis, on an unpublished incident
regarding the assassination OF President
Lincoln. The audience. which filed the
hall, listened to IL with close attention.
Mrs. Davis was little girl attend
ing Roman Catholic academy in the
city at the close Of the war. Her teach
er. to whom she referred only as Miss
Annie X. was a sweetheart OF John Sur
raft, and according to later evidence WIS
employed by the couspirators to secure a
room in an F Street hotel where one OF
them hid. prior to the murder.
The conduct Of Miss X. while teach
ing in the academy. said Mrs. Davis
was full Of pulling surprises 70 the
Children One morning just prior to the
assassination OF President Lincoln. she
appeared in the school room in a state OF
great excitement Her clothes were COW
cred with dust. as IL she had Just returned
from a long hard ride across country.
'Kneel she cried Historically 70 the
roomful Of afrighted children. and as
they fell on their knees the woman broke
out into an agonizing appeal for help and
pardon for some unknown persons who
were planning a terrible crime The ef-
feet Of it was heightened upon the child

why. she was my teacher; what did
she know about it?' enquired the girl.
and then she told the story Of the young
womans mysterious appearance in the
school room. and her agonizing prayer.
Judge Riddle was profoundly impressed
by the circumstance. and confirmed the
facts By another girl. who had been
present in the school at the time. Later.
however. il was deemed impossible to get

II it be objected that the Turks would
never dare put such an affront upon a
sister Moslem power. because it would be
followed by the bomhardment Of Smyrna
or some other place, the answer is that
such movement would probably result
in the massacre instead of the expulsion
Of the missionaries. Finally. recourse
either to diplomatic or naval menace would
be extremely apt to have wulike oonse-
quences in our Mohammedan possessions
Even that would not mark the limit OF our

We also send large consignments OF some
thing else which the Turks take to more
kindly. When the Prophet forbade his
followers to look upon the wine when it
is red. he forgot to say anything about
New England rum. The Sultan himself is
said to like a drop Of fiery Medford after
the divan. and his people, or many OF
them. are similarly minded. 1t would
never do to give him an excuse for pro-
hibiting the importation Of that neces-
sary Of life. The whole New England dele

would be down on the Presidents head IN
the wiuking Of an eye We know it, be-
cause we remember the influence Of rum

The easiest way for the Administration
to set out Of the scrape is to apologize
