murder began to be taken in an ad-

at the bedside changed. Mrs. Lincoln

Two hours later the body of the
president, wrapped in an American

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been replaced by black draperies, and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

horrible as this is abroad, what man

only pray God to shield us, his worthy

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 We're 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

moaning and labored breathing OF the
unconscious man, which at times could

Death of
Lincoln

Nov 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. E. 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 its
rightful place in history.
The president had been carried up
the high steps, through narrow hall,
and laid. still unconscious, still mo-
tionless, on the bed of a poor, little.
commonplace room of commonplace
clearinghouse, where surgeons and
physicians gathered about in despcr-
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.
'The president is killed! The presi-
dent is killed." One rushed in ball
room and told it to the dancers; an
other. bursting into 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
moment later they saw the actors
in combat called from the stage, the
manager coming forward. His face was
pale his voice agonized, as he said.
Ladies and gentlemen, feel 1t my
duty to say to you that the announce
ment made from the front of the the
ater just now is true-President Lin
coin has been shot," One ran to sum
mon Secretary Stanton. A boy picked
up at the door of the house where the
president lay was sent to the White
house for Robert Lincoln. The news
spread by the very force of its own
horror, and as it spread 1t met other
news no less terrible. At the same
hour that Booth had sent the ball into
the presidents brain q man had forced
his way into the house Of Secretary
Seward. then lying in bed with
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

LINCOLN AND THE SENTINEL.

In an article in the Century entitled
Our Fellow Citizen of the Write
House." Mr.. c. c. Buel told the follow
ing story of President Lincoln:
There have been no soldiers as guar
dians 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.
EYES, 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

@ Tuesday, the 18th, when all the

There IS no longer any mystery about

to the amount of millions and millions
OF dollars were in payment of a cam

the magnates of the Standard Oil trust
for the money they contributed to Mark
Hanna in 1896 to secure the election of
William Mckinley.

tells the whole story. 1t asks for the
favors of the administration as COM

The mystery is cleared UP and the
