Puned Linco1n,s Hair.

While Mr.. Lincoln was living In
Springfield a judge of the city, who
was one of the leading and most in
fiuential citizens of the place, had oc-
casion to call upon him. Mr.. Lincoln
was not overparticular in his matter OF
dress and was also careless in his man
ners. The judge was ushered into the
parlor, where he found Mr.. Lincoln
sprawled out across a couple of chairs,
reclining at his ease. The judge was
asked to Be seated and, without chang
ing his position in the least, Mr.. Lin
coin entered into conversation with
his visitor.
While the two men were talking Mrs.
Lincoln entered the room. She was
of course greatly embarrassed at Mr..
Lincoln's offhand manner of entertain
ing his caller, and. stepping up behind
her husband, she grasped him by the
hair and twitcbed his head about, at
the same time looking at him reprov-
ingly.
} Mr.. Lincoln apparently did not notice
the rebuke. He simply looked up at his
wife, then across to the judge and,
without rising, said:
: Little Mary, allow me to introduce
you to my friend. Judge So-and-so."
1t will be remembered that Mrs. Lin
coins maiden name was Mary Todd
and that she was very short in stature.

Second British Boat Engined That Way
Goes D0wn-ScOres Lost.


London, Sept. 20.-The torpedo boat
destroyer Cobra has foundered in the
North sea, the result of an explosion.
The ship was Ell route from the yard
of her builders, the Armstrong;. Of
Newcastle, to Portsmouth, and car
ried navigating crew of seventy-nine
men. All were lost with the eXcep-
tiOn of about a dozen persons. The
Cobra's crew were part naval men
and part men in the employ of the
contra ctorS.
A dispatch from Middlesboro says
twelve survivors of the crew of the
Cobra were landed there yesterday
morning. Torpedo boats and cruisers
have gone at full speed to the scene
of the disaster. which is the most Sc
rious the British navy has suffered
since the sinking of the Victoria. Lieu
tenant BoSworth Smith, the Cobra 5
commander stood upon the bridge
with his arms folded as impassive as
if on parade and then went down with
the vessel.
About one year ago the torpedo
boat destroyer Cobra beat the record
of the Viper and won the title of the
fastest vessel in the world. The rec
ord of the Viper. which was afterward
wrecked. was forty-three miles an
hour, while the Cobra, in an unofficial
trial over the same course as that
sailed by the Viper. at the mouth Of

The conditions surrounding the

difficult TO gauge consumption for some
time past. For weeks to come ii Will
he impossible to reach Il really trust
worthy conclusion on that point. AS
matters stand here and abroad our
home consumption must take care of
our domestic product. because prices
in foreign markets are considerabl bly, be-
low parity in our own. and because
European makers are showing a deter
mination to take what work is coming
zip. Proof of this is cropping up every
day. aud virtually in the heavy lines
the export trade has been practically
dead for months. The only factor in
our favor is the low rates of freight.
1T will be readily understood. there
fore. how closely any indications point
ing TO the development of our home
consumption should be watched. Bes-
Semer pig in the central west has
ceased to have value from this point
of view. because sliding scale con-
tracts. based upon the price Of Besse-
mer pig. may render ii desirable for
powerful interests to influence the
market.
There is still much free play in
foundry iron. which is only indirectly
influenced by this situation. In this
department reports of increased activ-
ity and growing firmness come from
different leading distributing centers,
although they must not be misinter
preted. For months large proportion
of the buyers have been purchasing
very cautiously, until now they are
facing the question of securing win
ter supplies. We seem to be on the
eve of one of the periodical buying
movements. which in itself is not nee
essarily proof of an enlarged consump-
ton"

MRS. MCKINLEY MUCH IMPROVED:
FURTHER INCIDENTS OF A SAD TASK

Canton. Sept. 20 Mrs. Mckinley IS
condition this morning was more
favorable than at any t me since the
arrival of the party iIom Washing
ton, she having rested fairly well last
night. Mrs. Mckinley went to the
&c netery at noon and spent some lit
tie time at the v suit in which the cas-
ket lies. She bore the trip bravely.
One of the most pathetic features
of tine day was the absence of Mrs.
Mckinley from the funeral services at
the church and cemetery. when the
body of her husband was laid to rest.
Since the first shock of the shooting
she had borne up bravely. But there
was n limit to human endurance. and
when yesterday came it found her too
weak to pass through the trials of the
final ceremonies. Through the open
door of her room she heard the prayer
of the minister as the body was borne
ont of the house. After that DIR. RiX-
ey remained close by ner side. and al
though the full force of the calamity
had come upon her il was believed by
those about her that there was n provi-
Dental mercy In her tears. as they
gave some relief to the anguish of the
heart within.

of women sObbing and of the roll of
the muffied drum and the tread of men

never in history was there such
universal expression of grief for one
man as that of yesterday for William
Mckinley.
Probably the most impressive of the
many features of the days services
was that of multitudes stopping their
work or walk-or whatever they were
doing-for five minutes and remaining
silent. or in prayer or song, during
that time. Here at Chicago at 2:3O D.
m. the noises OF n great city were
hushed and its commerce suspended
while mourning thousands paid their
last tribute to the memory of William
Mckinley. The silence was broken
alone by muffied bells tolling off the
ffty-eight illustrious years of the dead
