Mr. WIS Subtle Wit.

The Chinese Minister, Mr.. WI, has
established a reputation for humor 50
bright that at times his American au-
ditors hardly know where to draw the
line on his utterances. AT a recent
dinner, the minister found himself in
company with William J. Bryan
When he began to talk he said he felt
entirely safe about his utterances be-
ing treated as confidential. Neverthe-
less, he thought he had better be dis
Greet because there was gentlemal
present, who he understood, might &C
cupy the White House sometime, and
might be in position to hand him his
passports If he said something dis
tasteful. However," continued the
minister, with that guileless air which
distinguishes his race, cit is altogether
probable that | shall have to leave
Washington before he is President" :"
And the minister's auditors are still
wondering whether Mr.. Wu was
thinking of the unsettled condition in
his own country and of the practice of
frequent changes in the Chinese dip
lomatlc service, or was venturing a
Celestial opinion that Mr.. Bryan's
chances were not to be taken serious

The LincoIns.

Lincoln is always spoken of as one
CT the Western" Presidents. AS
matter of fact, he was bred-in-the-
bone Pennsylvania, and nearly all his
immediate ancestors sleep in a little
Quaker graveyard about eight miles
from Reading.
In the vicinity of Reading, in Berks
county, several of the Lincolns are
still living, and stored away in the
court house are a lot of musty docu-
ments that give the history of the
family. At Churchtown, Lancaster
county, two miles from the Berk coun-
ty line. is another Abraham Lincoln
more than 80 years old. who bears a
remarkable resemblance to the martyr
President.
The townships of Olney, Amlty and
Exeter were settled by Quakers and
Swedes. In the records of the early
history Of these places constant refer
ence is made to the Lincolns The list
of taxable property for 1874 mentions
Mordecia Lincoln, who paid quit rent
of 500 acres. This was President Lin
coins great grandfather.
The first member of the Lincoln
family 10 settle in Berks was Mordecai
Lincoln. This was about 1925. He
built a stone house, which remains
today practically as he left it. He
died at the age cf 65, and was buried
in the graveyard adjoining the Exeter
meeting house. More than six months
after his death a son was born-Abra-
ham Lincoln. He became a man OF
mark in Berk county during the Reyo-
luticn. He was active in raising
troops and forwarding supplies to the
Continental army. One of the family
treasures is a letter from General
Washington complmenting him for
zeal and patriotism. In 1882 he was
elected a member Of the Pennsylvania
Legislature. Later he was elected a
member of the convention that ratided
the Constitution of the United States.
Mordecai Lincoln left a son named
after him-Mordecai, Jr, This young
er Mordecai had son John, who en-
lgrated frcm Berks county to Virginia,
where Thomas Lincoln, Abraham Lin
coins father was born.
The Abraham Lincoln now living at
Churchtown never saw the martyr
President, but they had some cores
ponGence, and the President was much
interested in the history of his Penn
sylvanla ancestry y-PhiladelphlaNo

Blackburn's Two Funeral
Orations,

By the irony of fate and the ex-
igencies Of personal ambition, it be-
came the duty of the Hon. Joseph C. S.
Blackburn to pronounce the funeral
Grafton at the coffin of William Goe-
bel. And of Goebel Senator Black
burn said:
Build here over his grave mighty
towering granite shaft that shall defy
the corroding touch of time. Inscribe
upon it an epitaph that shall be
worthy of the man. He earned this
at our hands. In life and death he
was consecrated to the peoples cause
He lived an honest life, and gave his
life for your deliverance. OF him no
eulogy but truth may say: Earth new
err pillowed upon her bosom a truer
son, nor Heaven opened wide her
portals to receive a manlier spirit"
AT Coyington on Sunday, April IA,
1895, little less than five years ago
the eulogist of Goebel pronounced an
other funeral grafton. That time he
stood by the coffin of Colonel John l..
Sanford, who like Goebel had been
shot down in the highway. And of
Sanford Senator Blackburn said:
John Sanford was to me like a
brother. l loved him: hope God
may spare me and shall make it my
life's mission to avenge him by bury
ing his slayer in the depths of merlted
public execration."
The slayer OF John Sanford was

Exhausting Opinions.-The opinion
of New York lower court, as printed
in a certain report, says in respect TO
the conclusions of a referee, "The re-

could not improve on It," This is
modest, of course, but judges do not
always realize how exhaustlng their
opinions are.

that the wife called her husband ian
old fool" the court says, "The record
sustains the wife's judgment" And
on another point also her conclusion
was affirmed. She told him she would
have been foolish to have married a
man of his age who had no money,
and the court says, Again we thlnk
her judgment was correct"
Compliments to the Court--To the
list of fervent compliments paid to the
court by defeated attorneys the follow

The action of the Republicans in
convention Tuesday night seems to
have found general favor with the Re-
publicans OF the city. The selection
OF candidates from top to bottom of
the list is particularly fortunate
and strong one, and the result will be
a large vote for them when the cleo
tion day rolls around.
Mr.. Sykes, who heads the ticket. is
a particularly strong young man
born and raised among the dark hills
CT Monroe county, where Republicans
are a scarce commodity seldom met
with. Six years ago Mr.. Sykes came
to Marietta College, and made a splen-
did record for himself in that instltu-
ton; making such good marks that
for some time he was retained as an
instructor. Later he took civil en-
cheering course at the Ohio State
University, and finally went back to
the University, was graduated from
the law department and admitted to
practice at the bar.
Mr.. Sykes is a young man of more
than ordinary strength of character,
and has a good lot of what is com
monty called horse sense. Not too
radical in his notions, nor yet too
free; he is the happy medium which
makes the well-balanced man.
Mr. Sykes is one of the most ap-
proachable and popular of men. hav-
ing made a host of friends since his
residence in this city AS a lawyer he
has shown marked industry and abll-
ity, having in a short time achieved
a prominent standing at the Bar of
Washington county.
AS well as being close student in
his profession, Mr.. Sykes is a man
who without effort makes friends with
all classes, and is a general all round
good fellow; and he will make a
strong canvass for the Office to which
he aspires, and to which we believe he
will be elected.
