DUNRAVEN's SECOND ERROR.
His suspicions Were Once More
Aroused ResardinR Excess
OF Ballast

The earl of Dunraven is tory of the
most militant. sheilback type, and at
the same time he ruined his reputation
in America By his charges against the
yacht Defender, which afterward he
was unable to substantiate, he serious
u impaired his popularity over here,
says the Philadelphia Post. English
men object to fellow countryman
making an exhibition Of himself, and
the general impression there is that his
lordship acted foolishly. Only the other
day Lord Dunraven received a gentle
reminder that his fatuous charges
against American yachtsmen were not
forgotten by any means. He is one of
the reactionary members of the London
sschoolboard. If only citizens of the
United States knew how Londoners
have to fight for popular education
against thick-headed toryism they
would not wonder at the ignorance and
drunkenness that are met with in the
poorer quarters Of the mighty metrop-
oils. Dunrayen was hauling board

charge was quite unfounded. John

The Malaria Mosquito.

According to the observations of Mai.
Ronald Ross in India the germs Of
malaria are borne, not by the ordinary
brindled or gray mosquito, but BY his
cousin the spotted-winged mosquito.
Maj. Ross was recently sent to the west
coast of Africa to investigate the
sources Of malaria there and he re-
ports that. as in India, the spotted
winged yssquito is the agent through
which the disease is spread. Italian
Investigators have also shown that
mosquitoes convey the germs Of ma
iaria into the blood Of human beings.

Legislature the Sole Judge.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The president
and the members of his cabinet with
out exception recognize the fact that
the legislature of the state of Kentucky
by majority thereof, is the sole judge
of which of the two contestants was
elected governor of the state at the re-
cent election. The law controlling
federal action permits it only when the
legislature is not in session and cannot
be convened. Governor. Taylor's mes
sage does not intimate that the legis-
lature of the state cannot promptly be
convened, nor does he show that the
conditions in Frankfort are such as
would justify federal intervention.

condition, and with only slight shift
ing of the scene around him. The tes-
timony of those who had witnessed the
murder began to be taken in an ad-
Joining room. Occasionally the figures
at the bedside changed. Mrs. Lincoln
came in at intervals, sobbing out her
grief, and then was led away. This
man went, another took his place. 1t
was not until daylight that there came
a perceptible change. Then the breath
ing grew quieter, the face became more
calm. The doctors at Lincoln's side
knew that dissolution was near. Their
bulletin of O'Clock read: Pulse fall
ing" that of $50, Still falling" that
of 7, Symptoms of immediate dissolu-
tion," and then at 1920 in the presence

coin died. There was prayer, and
then the solemn voice of Stanton
broke the stiffness, Now he belongs
to the ages"
Two hours later the body of the
president, wrapped in an American
flag, was borne from the house in
Tenth street, and carried through the
hushed streets, where already thou
sands of flags were at half-mast and
the gay buntings and garlands had
been replaced by black draperies, and
where the men who for days had been
cheering in excess of joy and relief
now stood with uncovered heads and
wet eyes. They carried him to an up
per room in the private apartments OF
the white house, and there he lay until
three days later a heart-broken people
claimed their right to look for last
time on his face.

Northern was surprised by victory

selves. Until now no one knew how
the vote on the new schedules had gone,
although everybody seemed fully con-
WINGED that it had gone against the
road and in favor of the strike. The
vote has been reported, and as it was
almost equally divided there will be nc
strike. The vote is reported to have
been a majority of twelve against the
new schedule.

does the conspiracy exist? This Is a
terrible question. When a spirit SO
horrible as this is abroad, what man
is safe? We can only advise the ut
most vigilance and the most prompt
measures by the authorities. We can
only pray God to shield us, his worthy
people, from further calamities like
these"
The civil and military authorities
prepared for attack from within and
without. Martial law was at once
established. The long roll was beaten;
every exit from the city was guarded;
outgoing trains were stopped; mount
ed police and cavalry clattered up and
down the street; the forts were or
dered on the alert; guns were manned.
In the meantime there had gathered
in the house on Tenth street, where
the president lay, his family physician
and intimate friends, as we'll as many
prominent officials. Before they
reached him it was known there was
no hope, that the wound was fatal.
They grouped themselves about the
bedside or in the adjoining rooms, try
ing to comfort the weeping wife, or
listening awe-stricken to the steady
moaning and labored breathing of the
unconscious man, which at times could
be heard all over the house. Stanton
alone seemed able to act methodically.
No man felt the tragedy more than the
great war secretary, for no one in the
cabinet was by greatness of heart and
intellect so well able to comprehend
the worth of the dying president, but
no man in that distracted night acted
with greater energy or calm. SUM
moning the assistant secretary, q. A.
Dana, and a stenographer, he began
debating orders to the authorities ON
all sides, notifying them of the trag-
edy. directing them what precautions

LINCOLN AND THE SENTINEL.

In an article in the Century entitled
"Our Fellow Citizen of the White
House" Mr.. c. C. Buel told the follow
ing story of President Lincoln:
There have been no soldiers as guar
dams under the shadow of the great
Ionic columns since war; and even
then. on one fierce winter night, the
boy in blue who was on guard was not
allowed to maintain professional de-
corum. Mr.. Lincoln emerged from the
front door, his lank figure bent over
as he drew tightly about his shoulders
the shawl which he employed for such
protection, for he was on his way to
the war department, at the west cor
ner of the grounds, where in times OF
battle he was wont to get the midnight
dispatches from the field. AS the blast
struck him he thought of the numb
ness of the pacing sentry, and. turning
to him, said: Young man, you've got
a cold job tonight; step inside and
stand guard there
my orders keep me out here. the
soldier replied.
Yes said the president. in his ar
gumentive tone, but the duty can be
performed just as well inside as out
here. and you'll oblige me by going
in

beat.

Death of
Lincoln
Now he belongs to the ages"

Now he belongs to the ages
The curtain had just been rung down
over the life Of the martyred president
in that humble little room opposite the
theater where the president had, few
hours, before received the bullet OF
the assassin Booth. u. M. Stanton,
secretary of war, gave utterance to the
words quoted. How prophetic; how
true. Centuries hence the name OF
Abraham Lincoln will still retain It's
rightful place in history.
The president had been carried up
the high steps, through a narrow hail.
and laid, still unconscious, still mo-
tionless, on the bed of poor, little,
commonplace room of a commonplace
lodging house, where surgeons and
physicians gathered about in a desper-
ate attempt to rescue him from
death.
While the surgeons worked the news
was spreading to the town. Every man
and woman in the theater rushed forth
to tell it. Some ran wildly down the
streets, exclaiming to those they met,
1.-THE president Is killed! The presl-
dent is killed." One rushed in ball
room and told it to the dancers; an
other, bursting into a room where a
party of eminent public men
were playing cards, cried, Lin
coin is shot!" Another, run
ming into the auditorium of Growers
theater. cried, President Lincoln has
been shot, in his private box, in Ford's
theater." Those who heard the cry
thought the man insane or drunk, but
a moment later they saw the actors
in a combat called from the stage, the
manager coming forward. His face was
pale his voice agonized, as he said'
Ladies' and gentlemen, feel it my
duty to say to you that the announce
ment made from the front of the the
alter just now is true-President LIN
coin has been shot" One ran to sum-
mon Secretary Stanton. A boy picked
nm at the door of the house where the
president lay was sent to the White
house for Robert Lincoln. The news
spread Dy the very ioiCo VI 10 o"n
horror, and as it spread it met other
news no less terrible. At the same
hour that Booth had sent the ball into
the presidents brain man had forced
his way into the house OF Secretary
Seward, then lying in bed with a
broken arm, and had stabbed both the
secretary and his son Frederick so Sc
riously that it was feared they would
die. In his entrance and exit he had
wounded three other members of the
household. Like Booth, he had es-
CAPPED. Horror bred rumor, and Secre-
tary Stanton. too, was reported wound
ed. while later it was said that Grant
had been killed on his way north.
Dread seized the town. "Rumors are
so thick" wrote the editor OF the
National Intelligencer, at 2 o'clock IN
the morning. "the excitement OF this
hour Is 90 intense that we rely entire
IL upon our reporters to advise the
public Of the details and result OF this
night OF horrors. Evidently conspira-
tors are among Us. To what extent
