Little Surprise Expressed.


There was little surprise expressed at the
simultaneous departure Of Mrs. Riedel and
Morey at the time by those who had OBJ
served the intimacy of their relations 1t
was said that Morey had not been going
home nights for some time reporting to
his wife that he was doing some govern
ment work at Indian Head.
1t was also said that Mrs. RedeFs ac-
tions at her lodgings had been such as to
compel the managers of the place to give
her warning to leave.
Mrs Riedel is about forty-four years
old Is small Of stature and was not con-
sidered prepossessing In appearance. She
was, however, a linguist of considera BILE
ability, by means of which she held her
position in the War Department.
About fourteen years ago, while her fam
lily was travelling in Switzerland, she met
and married Mr.. Riedel. Upon their return
to this country Mrs. Atherton bought for
them the beautiful country seat of Danger
field about fifteen miles south of Washing
ton. Four years ago Mr.. Riedel died and
Mrs. Riedel came to Washington to live.

Bill Promptly Passed by the
House.
AN UNEXPECTED MOVE
ACTION TAKEN BY THE DEMO
CRATIC LEADER.
Ratification of the Treaty Providing
for the Acquisition Of Danish
West Indies.

There was a large attendance upon the
floor of the House and In the galleries today
in anticipation of the opening Of the debate
on the bill to repeal the war revenue taxes
Just prior to the assembling Of the House
the committee rules met and agreed
upon the form Of a special rule for the con-
sideration of the bill by the terms of which
1t would be brought to vote at O'Clock
tomorrow.
The chaplain. in his invocation, prayed
that the life of Representative Sheppard of
Texas. who is dangerously ILL., might be
spared.
After some minor business had been clear
ed away Mr.. DalZell tPa), from the COM
mittee on rules, presented the special order
agreed upon by that committee. Mr.. Dai-
Zell explained the effect of the rule Thls

were imposed that when the necessity for

was practically unanimity of sentiment on
both sides of the House. 1t was simple

At the conclusion of this brief statement
Mr.. Dazell yielded thirty minutes to Mr.
Underwood (Ala) J, also of the committee on
rules
The Alabama member protested against
the adoption of the rule, not, he said, be-
cause it provided for the consideration OF
bill to reduce taxation. but because it pre-
vented individual members from exercising
their own judgment or carrying out the
wishes of their constituents as to what por-
tion of the excessive taxes should be re-
pealed. AS an instance of a tax which IL
was not advisable to repeal he cited the IN
heritance tax. tax which, ne SAID, was
levied on a class that was not reached Dy
other taxation.
Mr. Underwood said he did not think
general tariff revision should be made, be-
cause such a revision. whether good or bad.
would unsettle present conditions and might
lead to disorder. He referred to the stag
nation in business which existed pending
the enactment of bath the Wilson and Ding
ley bills in support of that statement. lie
thought that the proper method OF reducing
duties at this time should be through reel
procity agreements made in pursuance OF
congressional enactment and sent to the
clerks desk and had read an amendment
representing his ideas in this particular.
Mr.. Ball (Tex.) denounced the rule as but
another step in the parliamentary evolution
by which ndividualism in the House was
being crushed and a few men We're en-
throned as the autocrats to dominate Its
will.

AT THE AGE OF 87.
II. fl. LINCOLN DIED FROM TN-
 FIRMITIES OF OLD AGE.

Passed Away at His Home on Lyon
 street-wss Master Mechanic of the
 Old shore Line R. R. Repair shops fin
 New Haven for Many Years.
 The death of Henry A. Lincoln in his eighty-eighth year removes from this community a familiar figure and good, citizen. He died yesterday at his late residence, 51 Lyon street, from old age.
 MT. Lincoln was born in South Gov entry, Conn.,, in 1915, and removed to this city in the early thirties. In 1880 he married Sophia Fenn of Washing ton, Conn. Mrs. Lincoln died January 16, 1898, nearly five years ago. No children were born to them. MT. Lin coin was a resident of this city for nearly seventy years. He was an ex- pert mechanic, being employed in that capacity for many years by the Old Shore Line railroad continuing in it's service until the road was consolidated with the New York, New Haven & Hartford. He had charge of the motor power of the road for many years. He was the first master mechanic the Shore Line had. The shop was then near Tin bridge near the old junction of the Hartford and Shore Line rail- roads. Before entering into the service of the railroad he was employed as master mechanic by Smith & Munson, who at that time had a machine shop on Whitney avenue, where the New Haven Machine shop now stands. While in the employ of that concern he turned out sugar mills of pattern which were considered marvels at that time and he was sent by the firm to Porto Rico to install them.
 It was with a good deal of satisfac- tion that MT. Lincoln contemplated the outcome of the Spanish-American war, for little did he think when he introduced his sugar mills in that isl- and that it would one day become American territory. For the last tWen- ty years he lived retired life.
 MT. Lincoln was an old time Mason and a staunch Congregationalist. He usually attended services at the Church of the Redeemer, and Rev. Dr. Watson L. Phillips will officiate at the services tomorrow afternoon at the residence. The interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.

YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.

Buoiuess DwlndIes to Barely More Than
 AQuarter ofa Million shares.
 New York, Dec. S.-Business at the stock exchange to-day dwindled to an aggregate of barely more than a quar- ter of a million shares sold. Even with this small total, transactions were considerably congested in a few promi- nent stocks. These were firm as rule and their tone had a sympathetic eff feet upon the general list. Amalga- mated Copper was a conspicuous fea- ture and rose in common with the cop per stocks at other important finan- cial centers. A rumor of an approach ing settlement between the great con- tending interests in the copper trade accompanied the advance, but it was denied in statements to which a sem blance of official authority was given. There was a rather violent advance, also, in the price of raw copper in Lon don. Other centers of strength were the local fractions, in which Manhat-
 tan was the leader. St. Paul also ad-
 vanced. The Hooking Valley stocks rose 7-S for the common and Is for
 the preferred on renewed rumors of a
 project for change of control. A jump of points in Great Northern preferred accompanied an active demand for Northern Securities on the curb. At the same time there was some heavy selling of Oregon Short Line partici- pating per cent bonds, the collateral for which consists of Northern Securi- ties stock. The movement in the stock seemed to be designed to facilitate | realizing in the bonds. To-day's mar ket was practically made up such
 movements in a few special stocks. Some favorable effect was produced by | the cold wave owing to the stimulat- i ing effect likely to be produced upon | seasonable business. A large days l business was reported in exports of both wheat and corn, which served to ! emphasize the favorable effect of last
 weeks outward movement. Mexican Securities were still under pressure on account of the depression in the silver
 market. The increasing supply of
 grain bills in the exchange market was favorably regarded, and there were large offerings, also. of loan bills by
 bankers, which the advancing rates for
 money here attract, There was no ap-
 preciable change in the money stua- 1 ton. An additional transfer to-day through the sub-treasury of $400,000 to San Francisco was the occasion for much comment. The surmise is made that the extraordinary demand from that point may be caused by an active
 land speculation said to be in progress on the Pacific coast. There are some
 misgivings indeed that this kind of speculation has been widespread
 through the west and is responsible in
 some part for the unusual retention of funds in the interior.
 To-day's stock market closed firm.
 Bonds were dull and irregular. Total
 Sales par value $1,615000. United States old fours registered advanced

THE FAIR POSTPONED.

The postponement OF the st. Louis
exposition until 1901 should be Of benefit
to that undertaking, provided the time
gained is used judlciously, and every
thing Is prepared Tor the opening The
postponement should result in a better
representation OF the various states IN
the Union, and In more complete for
elgn representation.
One OF the chief things for the man
agement Of the 81. Louis exposition to
consider -. what can be done to make
1t Characteristic and original. It is a
common saying that when you have
seen one exposition, you have seen them
all They are mere copies one OF an
other. once In generation such i'm
itatlons may draw the crowd neces-
sary to make 1t pay, but when they fol-
low 80 closely upon one another as they
have done in later years. some are
bound to be financial failures
At st. Louis there should be some
thing besides the beaten paths, some
thing Characteristic OF American enter
prise, American genius, American pro-
gress. II this is done, the fair cannot
fail to become a success both financially
and otherwise.
