A wonder I'm Pen nmnnRhip

Among the curiosities preserved by
the Minnesota Historical society Is a
Autographed copy of an engrossment
of the emancipation proclamation. The
engrogser. one w. II. Pratt of Daven-
port, Ia, was SO very skillful in his
manipulations of the pen that he sue
ceeded. by careful and exact shading
of the letters, In producing very ex-
cellent portrait Of Abraham Lincoln,
the author OF the famous document, in
the center of the copy. In other words.
the lettering itself Is made to form
portrait of Mr.. Lincoln. There were
probably a large number of them orig
inally struck off. but copies of 1t are
now very rare. As a specimen OF pen
work it is certainly very unique.

Doctor Turned Thief.
II would seem from the experience
Of the Harvard college library that
book plate collecting may sometimes
develop into dangerous and expen.
slye mania. A few years ago the Har.
ward library found that the engraved
labels which 1t pastes on the inside OF
the covers Of Its books as marks of it's
ownership were disappearing from
some OF the less used volumes. The
older book plates 1t appears, are high
" priced by collectors. and some of
them are particularly valuable for their
artistic merit as well MS for interesting
associations with early book collect.
Ing in this country. These were natu.
rally the special prey OF the thief
detectives took the matter in hand
md the offender was discovered with
fun evidenced of his guilt upon him.
He confessed to stealing the llbrary's
property and to having it in his pos
session. by the time the matter reach
cd the courts the greater part of the
book plates had been restored, the thief
having settled satisfactorily with the
pcrsor to whom he had sold or given
Them. and, as the prisoner had repaid
the expense to which the library had
been put. the college consented to leave
the matter of sentence with the court,
which imposed fine of $50 on one
count and put the other count on file,

be desirable, meanwhile placing the

A striking point in the case IL that
the guilty man Is in no way u common

to have made his thefts more inteili-

AND he knew how to dispose of 1t, his
very personality being protection to

that Messrs. Thorn and Ayers would

think it is the hall You ought to take
a recess until April 1st.''

What the special committee will do in
regard to getting q new hall is doubt
full.
1t was reported last night that ma
iority Of the committee would recommend
continuing at work in the present hall,
the management agreeing to put UP cur
tains between the ceiling and the gal
lery and from the floor to the gallery
to break the echo Two Of the committee
have, stated that it would be impo sible
for the convention and the Legislature
to Jointly use the hall of the House OF
Delegates The work Of both bodies, he
said, was at such a stage they could not
divide the hours to the satisfaction OF
either without a great loss or time 70
both. This member stated that he pc
lieved the new hall would be satisfactory
if it was understood that the convention
would not consent nor could not be IN
f1uenced to hold its session in the As
senbly Hall.
There is a great deal Of comment on
the persistent effort from some quarters
to force the convention to hold Its SEES
sions in the Capitol building.
1t does not come from members OF I've
General Assembly. who have acted with
nerfect courtesy in the whole matter,
but could not be expected to practically
surrender possession during the best
working hours of the day.
If the convention could agree 10 SIT
from 4 O'Clock until and from un-
til 10. the hall cou11 very we'll be used
but the convention has learned that When
the body scatters in the afternoon It
IS difficult to get quorum at night a
recess would settle the difficulty.
The report OF the Committee on FL
nance and Taxation will be taken up the
first thing this morning. Mr. Hamilton,
who is opposed to some of the PROVISIONS
NAV wish to fight it on the floor II So
he is SO averse to transactlng business
in the new hall. he may be able to secure
a postponement of consideration OF the
sections he disapproves until it is learned
whether a better hall can be secured OF
not.
