The Lincoln museum is now domi- ciled in the house in which Abraham Lincoln died, 516 Tenth street, north west, between E and F streets, directly opposite the building which was for merly Ford's theater, where he was shot a few minutes past 10 on the night of April 14. 1865. Approaching this house from F street, one of the principal thoroughfares of Washington, we see on the north side of the high steps, fastened to the iron railing, sign which informs us that Abraham Lincoln died in this house, twenty two minutes past 2 a. m., April 10, 1865" The house Is modest three story and basement brick edifice, and was owned and occupied by William Peterson at the time of the tragedy, and bis family then conducted lodg- ing house there. It was one of his lodgers who, upon hearing the commo- ton in the street after the shooting had occurred and the assassin had escaped, rushed to the door and, see ing the stricken president being brought across the street, directed the carriers to bring him into the house of which he was an occupant.-Dr. Thomas Cal yer in Woman's Home Companion.

New York, April 30.-with gloomy expressions and sealed lips the chief officers of the United Mine Workers of America emerged yesterday from their four hours conference with the committee of railroad presidents tc whom the coal operators have intrust- ed their interests. They had striven from noon until o'clock to reach some conclusion that might determine for the waiting army of 145.0O0 men in the coalfields whether their fate is to be thrifty labor at better pay or idleness enforced by a strike. All who were parties to the private deliberations had pledged themselves to absolute secrecy as to what had occurred. and all ob- served the pledge. This in itself Is an evidence that there yet remains hope of an amicable settlement.

Buadhi.t Ceremonies.

Some Buddhist ceremonies present a striking analogy to certain Christian rites. Dr. Medhurst says: ''The very titles of their intercessions, such as goddess of mercy holy mother queen of heaven,' with an image of the virgin having child in her arms holding crescent, are all such strik- ing coincidences that the Catholic mis- sionaries were greatly stumbled at the resemblances between Chinese worship and their own when they came over to convert the natives to Christianity."- London Standard.
