John G. Nicolay has left a lasting monument
in his share OF the life of Abraham Lincoln
that he wrote in cola boration with Colonel
Hay. and 1t will constitute his chief title to
membrance by future generations. But the
experiences that prepared him 10 he Lincons
biographer were of themselves significant and
important, and marked the man as an uncom-
mon one. AS the intimate friend Of Lincoln. and
his private secretary during the momentous
period of the Civil War, his duties were arduous
and of the utmost Importance, and since he

In which he was held till death put end to 1t;
and how true his understanding was of the

Give Tammany another lease of power and the

The suggestion again comes TO the fore that
the Circle at Fifty -ninth-st. and Eighth-ave. be
enlarged by adding to 1t the site of the vir-
ginia Hotel, to the SOUTH and part of the old
riding academy to the north. 1t is difficult to
see what interests. save a few of private
nature would be subserved by this so-caled
Improvement" Whatever symmetry the plot
has would be destroyed by these haphazard and
irregular contributions to 1t. The open space is
now ample for vehicles. Certainly. with fifty

drawbacks as we'll az other cities, but
on the whole there is room for much
congratulation over the state Of the

and annoys the agent who Is trying to
bring about an understanding between
the buyer and the seller. A holder OF
such property demands such prices as
are absolutely prohibitiye under the
circumstances. Asked for a reason for
this lofty attitude the owner will al
most invariably say that he considers
himself justified in his demand for the
reason that his property will some day
be included in the business zone and
will consequently command a h.Cler
