defend their interests. Only think. if a
 hostile reaction should come, it might l sweep away what we have already | gained. Bills, are, however, secured | and will be debated in the next period several bills, indeed, founded on differ
 ent principles
 The changed political relations have also influenced the women suffragists and have caused split among them. Impatient at not obtaining even the least result, the existing suffrage so- ciety resolved to try new tactics, and demand suffrage, if not on the same
 terms as for men, then for some privi- legged groups Of women. The conse-
 quence of this was that new suffrage
 society was founded on the old tactics "a nationally organized society, that
 maintains the old claims of suffrage for
 women on the same terms as 1t is given
 to nen--and which will not work for
 anything less than this--justice and
 equal position these claims being, in
 the opinion. of the society, the only per-
 missablo weapons when fighting
 against injustice and eubjection.
 I am also inclined to think that the parliamentary vote will not at first be given to few women in particular We will have it, all of us, as soon as we have struggled long enough to obtain it. A very good thing it Is, however, that these divergent opinions have brought life and development and i'm petus to the work. While greater irl- difference that formerly has been traced among politicians as to women's suf- frage, there are signs of awakening life among women themselves over the whole country, and this will at last abolish that indifference, we hope, if only won1en will keep under different flags, unite for our great cause, so that no petty tritlings may be permitted to spoil anything.
 It appears, as if our struggle will be a long one; therefore, we must be the better armed, This applies not only to suffrage work, but to whatever we work for and aim at and it does not apply to women in one country only, but to all. |
 While we are laboring on, we must | seek to obtain fresh blessings. The more | our best qualities are strengthened and developed. the greater the victory will be, when at last we gain 1t for our home, our country and for humanity.

the weapon into place, but held it there so that when plunged into a body il l could not double up on the hand as ar l ordinary penknife would. This spring 1 also served another purpose. Colonel ! Bowie had to reach down his back tc pull out his weapon, and then after 1 ward get the blade into position. My knife, however, could be carried in the brooches pocket, and as the owner drew | it, by touching the spring, the blade
 would throw itself into position, and its
 wielder would be ready for battle. | T had two of these knives made and presented one to Colonel Goodloe and | taught him how to use it. He said that
 with such a weapon he would have no
 show against a man armed with re- | volver. ! quickly showed him that he revolver and told him to try to place it was mistaken. I handed him an empty
 against my breast and pull the trigger As he moved his right arm forward with the pistol grasped the cuff of his
 coat with the fingers of my left hand, and, with the powerful grip which
 thus obtained, twisted backward the
 hand holding the weapon in such a way
 that he was powerless. Then with my
 right hand sprang the knife from my
 brooches pocket and made a score or
 more of mock stabs into his defeuceless
 breast. Again and again showeld him
 how to accomplish that feat, and that is
 how he killed swope, and that is the
 meaning of the words in this telegram:
 He used your knife.'"
 La l.t a,i, blood run cold by using him as model upon which to exemplify the graceful use of the weapon--he then and now carrying a duplicate of Goodloe's knife the query was put to him: "But why use q knife?"
 He answered: Different countries have different customs Why use pistol? Why use anything to defend yourself? If man is seeking your life, why take any chances in the matter? Why not at once put stop to the men ace? You of the east look upon the use of fists as preferable to the pistol, and the latter is far less blood-thirsty than the employment of knife. Buteit is all a matter of custom. Tn Kentucky men carry weapons habitually, and I think he who uses the knife is a far more courageous man than the one who engages in the long-range attack of a pistol. With a knife you must be close to your foe; if you use it on his back, you are a dastard and should hang for 1t; but should you meet him face to face and plunge 1t into him after fair warning and for proper cause, there is no reason why true man should not take you by the hand.''
 You can readily see from these words that Chinn's witnessing the dastardly assassination of Goebel will accentuate his belief that the gun. except in war fare, Is the towards weapon, and that his trusty knife is fit for the grasp of a courageous man. He who shot Goebel down never looked him in the eyes or gave him an opportunity for defense.- Philadelphia Times.

INTERVIEWING LINCOLN.
The Fable That the President Told a
 New Hampshire Editor.

| The Fable That the President Told a New Hampshire Editor.
 It was my good fortune to be ac- quainted with Lincoln personally be- fore he was a candidate for president.
 It was my privilege to take an active
 part in his nomination at Chicago.
 had the honor to head the electoral tick
 ct which was chosen, and my name was first called at the meeting of the eec- tors I cast the first republican electo-
 ral vote that Indiana gave for Abraham Lincoln.
 While we were at Mr. Lincolns house
 card was brought in to him on which
 was the name of the editor of the lead
 ing newspaper in the state of New
 Hampshire. I do not now recall the
 name. He was ushered into the parlor
 where we were. He was very tall man, bony and slender. He had most solemn countenance. He impressed me
 at once as a man who had never had
 any fun, and did not care to have.
 He wore very wide white cravat,
 which came up to his ears, and was
 wrapped round and round his neck.
 His coat was buttoned up to his chin He looked more like priest than an ed- itor He was evidently taking himself and his life very seriously.
 He commenced very stiff and for nal lowing when in the presence of his host, but that was not Lincoln's way. He went to him, seized his hand and shook 1t In real Hoosier style, and gave him the heartiest welcome. The editor never smiled or seemed to appre- ciate the heartiness of the greeting. The entire lack of formaIity instead of thawing him, seemed to freeze him. He and Lincoln stood facing each other, and the former said to his visitor: "Why, my Yankee friend, you are as tall as I am. Let us put back to back and measure'' Reluctantly the editor compiled and was called on to umpire the match, which I did by putting large book on their heads, which showed that Lincoln was the taller of the two.
 As I said before, it had become almost a certainty that most of the southern states would secede and form a confed- eracy of their own, and there was of course, intense interest and anxiety to know what policy Mr. Lincoln intended to pursue--whether he would attempt, as chief executive, to coerce these rebel lious states with the army and navy or would attempt to heal up the trouble by some sort of concession or compromise. MT. Lincoln had told us that he would form no policy but would be governed by the circumstances existing at the time he took the oath of office.
 It soon became evident as We listened to the conversation that the editor had come thousand miles to get enough out of the president elect to form pol icy for him, and so proclaim, even if Lincoln had formed none for himself. The editor was very sharp and shrewd, and exceedingly artful in attempting to cover his real motive in the interview. He had manifestly underrated the abil- ity of Lincoln. He had carefully pre- pared his tactics, and was following his

Hallenbeck, who for several years has been manufacturing German silver fatware in the Hall & Elton companys factory, will continue the manufacture of the same line of goods in the factory he Is to take possession of and already has some of his former employees at work getting ready to put up new machinery, etc. It will prob ably take several weeks before every thing is in running order and 1t is un- derstood that he has already secured enough orders to keep the factory busy for at least six months. The factory it. self is especially adapted for the busi- ness, being comparatively new and in first class order and it's situation near the depot Is one of the best in town. MT. Hallenbeck has had long experi- ence in the spoon business and always had the reputation of turning out first class goods of the best material and finish. The news that the factory is to be occupied again is pleasing to all who are interested in Wallingford's welfare.

THE GUN A cowARD's WEAPON.

Jack Chinns Theory and the Swope-
 ington Post Office.
 The newspaper accounts of the Aun- fortunate affair in Frankfort, Ky, which has elevated William Goebel, in the minds of many, to the pedestal of martyrdom, state that when the assas- sins bullet pierced the body of the gu- bernatorial aspirant he fell into the arms of Jack Chinn, who was walking by his side< That episode will impress more deeply than ever in Chinn's mind the belief which he has long held and which he has frequently given open ex- pression to, that, except in extraordina- ry circumstances where attack or de- fense must necessarily be made from distance, gun or pistol is the weap- on of coward, and that knife is the true emblem of gentlemanly courage.
 Chinn is one of the most picturesque products of Kentucky life, and one of the best known characters on the Amer ican turf. He belongs to class of men utterly unknown and completely mis- understood in the east, who look upon the horse race as the highest product of civiliza tion and upon gambling for high stakes as the best form of amuse- ment true gentleman can engage in. In physique he is larger and more pow erful than James J. Jeffries He has the shoulders of an OK.
 While Chinn Is respected by the entire Kentucky contingent he is feared with an absolute dread by the meaner mor- tals who gather about race tracks. This Is due to the fame he has achieved by the use of knife. This may sound strange regarding man whose friend ship is valued by men of affairs, and re- quires some explanation to make it en- tirely clear to the minds of eastern men.
