lively War, History, Peace and Plenty.
The monument stands on the spot
where Abraham Lincoln made his fam
Gus speech at the dedication of the
grounds on the 18th of November,
1853, giving utterance to these
immortal words: -Four score
and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this contin-
ent a new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now we are
engaged in great civil war, testing
whether that nation, so conceived and
SO dedicated, can long endure. We are
met on great battlefield of the war.
We have come here to dedicate a por-
ton of that field as final resting place
for those who here gave up their lives
that the nation might live. 1t is al
together fitting and proper that we
should do this. But in larger sense
We cannot dedicate-we cannot conse-
crate--we cannot hallow this ground.
The brave men living ard dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it
far above our power to add or de-
tract. The world will little note or
long remember what we say here, but
it never can forget what they did here.
1t is for us, the living, rather to be ded-
icated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
far so nobly carried on. 1t is rather
for us to be dedicated to the great
task remaining before us that
from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the
last full measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in VAN: that this
nation, under God, shall have new
birth of freedom, and that the govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth"
Our guide was perfect mine of the
incident and told his stories in very
entertaining way. I am not at all sat
lated and would be very glad to go
again. w. G. Field.

craving the plates is not shown. This
is surrounded with the utmost preca,l-
ton, and altho assured the authori-
ties that would bear in mind the 9Th
commandment, could not prevai up
on them to make an exception in my
case. The work Of printing from
these plates is highly interesting, but
must be seen to be appreciated and
understood. 1t takes thirty days to
complete note from the time the
printer receives the blank paper until
delivered, and it passes thru the
hands of thirty different people. The
average daily volume of new money
per day is a million dollars, made up
of 100000 separate notes, ranging in
value from one dollar to the $1,000 sill
yer certificate which is the largest de-
nomination now issued. The system
of checking and receipting for all
the work prevails in every depart
ment, every package of money being
receipted for by each successive per-
son into whose hands it comes, and If
any losses occur the person so respon-
sible is charged up with the deficit.
These and many more interesting
things came under my observation,
such as can be observed nowhere else
and any attempt to enumerate and de-
scribe would but result in a long
drawn out correspondence which
would make me disliked by editor,
composition and proof reader, not to
speak of the general public. This let

CHASED A BURGLAR.
officer BLACK Thinks He Can identity
the Crook


From Saturdays Second Edition.
Early, this morning Officer Black,
whose beat is in. that uortion of the
city known as Smoky, Row, saw a man
endeavoring to get into one of the res
licences in that benighted district by
way of the window. The officer gave
chase but the man was arefooted and
had no superfluous clothing and gave
the officer the "hot foot" Officer
Black is a big man and is no mean
sprinter but the man he was after had
a reputation to sustain as a foot racer
and got away.
The officer recognized. the man and
consequently did not shoot. He thinks
the fellow is the man who went thru
three west end houses Thursday night
and is after his scalp.
I've men were arrested yesterday at
ternoon who were supposed to have
been implicated in the larceny Of a
valise belonging to c. W. Burdick, of
Cheyenne, Wyoming, which was taken
from Burlington passenger train No.
$ Thursday morning. A colored man
informed the police that he saw the
men with valise answering the de-
scription of the one stolen and also
saw them take out shirt and pa
psrs and tear the latter in pieces.
Neither the valise nor any of the prop
erty it contained was found in the
possession of the men when arrested
consequently they were releasd.

Saturday evening without knowing
the status Of the matter. He was ap

further stated that the council had

council would proceed on the theory
that the city would build system OF

it for it, paying for the works with
the funds which the city now pays in

FROM The PARIS EXPOSITION,

guards are fine lot of young men, in
blue uniforms, white stripes and white
caps, are very polite and speak French
and are always ready to answer all civ
il questions. The walk along the front
of TIE avenue of Nations is high along
the banks of the Seine and below and
nearly even with the river, are the res
taurants and each nation has large
cafes with music of all styles and
kinds and at the luncheon hour or in
The evening it is grand sight to walk
down the avenue and see the people,
the beautiful electrical displays
along the river, and study the
people and the mode of serving the
people, and here you see the world
gathered in representative classes. To
the traveller it is after all the great
lesson, to study the people and the
charm to me is to watch the people and
see how they not only make the prod
uct they exhibit, but display it and try
to interest you in it. Our executive
managers believe that all the American
exhibits should be shown in their prop
er places, and one great difficulty has
been the spaces have been insufficient.
The French have reserved IS per cent
Of the exhibit space for themselves
and have given 35 per cent to all other
nations. That is what we would term
acting the hog. Not an elegant phrase,
but very expressive of the exact facts,
and taking the figures from the official
table of exhibitors find the number
of exhibitors to be as follows:

You will notice this speaks we'll for
our country and considering the many
disadvantages of bringing our exhibits
from far off shores, / think when the
record is made up, you will see that the
States will come out second to France
in medals and prizes. There is no love
between the English and the French.
