LINCOLN AS A POLITICIAN.

Mr.. Lincoln was thorough politi-
clan in the best sense of the term
says Bishop Samuel Follows He rec
ognized the imperative need of parties
in American political affairs. He did
all in his power to build up the great
party which he So ably represented,
the party of freedom But he was an
honest politician. His honesty was en-
tirely compatible with a strong per-
sonal desire to fill the highest position
within the gift of man. Honesty and
lawful ambition are not contraries. Mr..
Lincoln never stopped to the packing
OF primaries, to the buying and sell.
ing Of votes, to bargaining with the
men Of influence by promising them
office
BY the very laws of human action he
was constrained to reward his sup.
porters with places of trust and profit.
Honest politics does not forbid this
1t is not necessary to go to the length
of the motto TO tie victls belong
the spoils" in affirming the principle.
No matter under what name politi.
cal movement may be carried on, it
cannot help becoming a party move.

STORY OF SHORTY POWERS.
Although Blind, He Runs Board That
Tells Winners OF Races.

Visitors to any Of the race meets In
and around New York have watched
eagerly at the close of any one OF the
races for the appearance Of the mem.
bers on the big board across the track
that tells them the winning horses.
From the grand stand II may easily
be seen that the man In charge OF the
stand has two assistants TO help him
In his work. Sometimes one OF these
assistants hangs up the big numbers,
sometimes the man himself puts them
out. But very few OF the spectators
In the grand stand know that the man
is blind.
Shorty Powers Is the name OF the
man in charge Of the stand. and he
has been in that stand for the last
fifteen years lie has permanent
position, and In the pursuit OF HIS

BURNED TO DEATH
REMAINS OF MAI. GEORGE b. HAL
STEAD FOUND IN THE RUINS OF
.eTHE HERMITAGE
WAS TT ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE ?
All Clues to the Mystery, if Such
1t he, Destroyed by
the DevOurinS
Flames.

The charred remains of Maj. George
Blight IIalstead were found at noon yes
terday in the ruins of his home at Min
netonka.
Was it accident or suicide was the
question asked by many Of the dead ma
jor's old friends The mystery never will
be solved, for with the fierce flames ev
erything that might throw light upon his
mysterious death has been destroyed.
AS soon as it became known that the
Hermitage had been burned q searching
party of old friends of the major, ).
Dewey, J. E. Christian and Mr.. Albrook,
was organized.
Their fears that the old man had come
TO a violent death were realized, for hui
man bones were found under the springs
of his bed.
The general supposition is that Maj.
Halstead came to his death blythe over
turning Of a lamp which was found near
where his bed stood.
Maj. Ha!stead, who has been in very
poor health Of late, was last seen in Ex-
celsior on Wednesday. Thursday he re-
manned in bed the greater part of the day.
A. c. Loring and family. who We're the
nearest neighbors to the Hermitage, made
frequent visits to the place and never
day passed that some of the dainties from
their table was not sent to the major.
The last seen of the major was on
Thursday evening. when A. c. Loring
called at the house to inquire after his
health sac
Early Oh Friday morning the fire was
discovered by peopf on Zimmermans
Place and by Mr.. Dewey, all of whom
thought it was A. c. Loring's boathouse.
Maj. Halstead was one of the best
known characters at Lake Minnetonka,
and during the last years of his life was
known as 1.-The hermit" Mai Halstead
was paymaster in The United States
1ravy and was with the blockading squad
ron on the Florida coast. He was a vet
eran of the Civil war; having been pro-
noted to the rank of major on Gen. Phil
Carey's staff.
With the burning of the Hermitage the
public is deprived of lrany a valuable
souvenir of memorable events and pota-
Bile people. The house contained an end
less number of curios and valuable arti-
cles, for many of which the major had
beeTl offered large sums of money.

nELABoRED a THIEF.
Farmer Takes Punishment of Pick
pocket Into His Own Hands.

While touches at the big state fair
have been many, arrests have been few
owing to the reluctance OF the parties
suffering TO prosecute bat there was one
big farmer yesterday who satisfied his
outraged dignity in novel manner.
There was possibly dozen III the
crowd and they wore waiting for a 81
Paul car just out of the fair gates when
swish shrilly sounded an umbrella as
it cut through the air the resoundins
whack as it landed square on the head of
an understood man who stood close by
sending that individual to his knees
The party scattered and for the next
few, seconds the air was kept in lively
motion as the farmer continued to
belabor the luckless and by this time
crouching individual who was inefectual-
ly trying to shield his head from the
blows.
An officer finally iute fereG, but t was "a
vote of thanks lie rendered the former
sfter explanations had been made IN
stead of calling the wagon. while the
still smarting thief, who it seemed had
tried to abstract the farmers wallet. was
escorted across the road in charge of
an officer, with a suggestion that he
move quickly.
The farmer declined to prosecute. bet
his revenge in the minds of the officers
was sufficient.
