The latest acquisition to the Kansas
State Historical society is an almost
priceless relic in the form Of portion
Of a Ford's Theater programme on which
are two drops of blood, which fell on it
from President Lincoln, as he was being
carried, wounded and bleeding, from the
theater in which he was assassinated.
The relic was given to the historical So
ciety by T. D. Bancroft of Kansas City,
Kan. Mr.. Bancroft was in the theater
on that memorable night thirty-six years
ago, April II, 1865, when President Lin
coin was killed, and was sitting in the
body Of the house when the crime was
committed. AS President Lincoln was
being carried out he saw some of the
blood drop from the dying man on a
torn portion of a theater programme lying
in the aisle and picked it up and put It
in his pocket. In presenting the relic to
the society Mr.. Bancroft related the in
cidents Of the manner in which he came
into possession of it. He also said:
''Since / got the relic it has never been
out Of my possession. I have always
kept it in a dark place, and in all that
time it has probably never been in day
light over two hours. 1t is, as you may
notice, very we'll preserved, and the drop
Of blood has not faded"

The Army ordinance officers are not

which has been under construction at the
Watervliet arsenal for number of
years, and which is the largest modern
gun to be manufactured in this country.
This weapon was ordered as an expert
ment, but since then change has occurs
red in the opinions or the authorities as
to what is the best type of weapon.
Large guns have gone out Of date, so to
speak, and rapid fire guns OF medium
caliber are considered the most effective
and desirable The sun of 100000 was
appropriated by Congress last year to
test this gun, but it is not ready for trial.
Owing to the fact that it is considered to
be more or less obsolete, work on it has
been delayed in favor of more important
matters. II is understood that the last
of the breech hoops are now being put on,
and that the piece will be sent to Sandy
Hook for tria! in few months.
