In compliance with a request from the
director of the State historical department.
of Mississippi, Hon. Robert t. Lincoln has
given portrait of his father. to be placed
in the Hall of Fame of the new Capitol
building at Jackson. In the letter asking
for the portrait the director said:
We of the South now realize the great.
ness and goodness and grandness of, the
character of President Abraham Lincoln
and would honor his memory. Permit me-
In the name or the State. to invite you TO
place a portrait of President Lincoln i'm the
new Capitol of Mississippi, that it may
symbolic his love for his country. his de-
votion to duty, and his heartfelt sympathy
for the Southern people.
The incident is one of the most signifi-
cant of those going to show the almost
entire disappearance of wartime feelings.

Mayor Heard License Case.

Mayor Bookwalter heard testimony yester-
day in the case of Anton Schmidt, a saloon
keeper at Shelby street and the Belt road,
who was asked to show cause why his
license should not be revoked. A cutting
ARRAY happened at Schmidts place last
Sunday. The testimony showed that the
ARRAY occurred not I'm the saloon. but in a
room in the rear, which was formerly
Schmidt's residence. There was little con-
troversy about the facts, and there was no
testimony that liquor had been sold.
Schmidt introduced a number OF witnesses
to show his good character. AS some of
the witnesses could not be present, the
mayor continued the hearing until next
Monday afternoon.

says that Ii was the worst fire he had at
tended during his career as fireman, ana
so dense was the smoke that IL was impos-
sible to reach the imprisoned guests. When
the firemen finally managed TO make their
way into the room the sight they saw was
appalling. Men and boys lay about the
in their eagerness to escape. THE build
ing" said the chief. was one OF the worst
fire traps i have ever seen. The floors in
drop a penny through. and the smoke Just
sifted through and suffocated the inmates
OF the rooms before they had time TO make
their way into the Railways.
A jury was impanelled this afternoon by
Coroner Traeger to ascertain the causes
OF the disaster and TO fix the guilt for neg
ligence. After viewing the bodies OF the
victims of the fire the jury went to the Ill
fated hotel, where an examination was
made of the various rooms. The jurors
were then dismissed TO meet for the in
quest, which VIII begin Dec II.
At the conclusion of the inspection Cor
oner Traeger said: THE fire was undoubt-
eddy caused by the explosion OF an oil
stove in the rear Of the third floor. The
building was very carelessly constructed.
the fire escape is worthless. the rooms are
outrageously small and IL is nothing short
of a crime that such building should have
been used as housing place for human
beings"
The building was some time ago con-
demned by the city building inspectors as
unsafe for hotel purposes and the owners
were three weeks ago ordered 10 place q
stairway in the rear and also TO build a
fire escape on the front OF the building.
Beyond the preliminary work for the fire
escape nothing had been done. however.

SAXONY'S ECCI.NIkiC KING.
Interesting Stories Are Told of the
Peculiar Habits of the Former
Ruler.

The newspapers have lately been
full of incident of the life of the de"
ceased king of SaHony, but they are
mostly connected with his public mil
itary career Of his private life little
is told except that in its extreme sim
plicity it resembled closely that of
Emperor William I.
1t is reported that King Albert had
rooted objection to exchanging his
old clothes for new ones, and it was
only with great difficulty that his
groom Of the chamber could persuade
him to have new coat tried on. One
day whAl he had just undergone the
torment of having clothes tried on,
the king happened to pass through the
famous hall of the knights, in the
Dresden palace. Looking up at the fig,
ures of the mail-clad knights, he said,
with deep sigh: ,"What a good time
the old knights had in their iron
armor; they were troubled with no
creases."
