ExnlntInn Of the Elnrator.


The first elevators used in New York
City were freight elevators. 1t was
not intended that they should carry
men and women, and efforts were
made to discourage those persons who
would rather take the risk OF being
killed and ride, than be comparatively
safe while walking up and down stairs.
A company was first formed TO build
elevators In New York about forty.two
years ago, and for a time it confined
Itself TO those intended TO carry freight.
1t happened. though. that there were
lots OF persons who were always anx.
Ious TO ride even II they did risk their
lives. and the men who were at the
head Of the concern began to wonder
whether II would not he a good thing
to put a few passenger elevators on
the market WOuld-be customers an
peared now and then and the field
looked so inviting that the company
made n Try az H. II seemed soon after
this as IL the people had just been
waiting for elevators. There was a
good demand for them and II has been
growing ever since.
Passenger elevators, when they were
nrst built were moved by steam. This
was all right for a time, but II was
plain that some other motive power
would have TO be adopted, and another
was adopted. After the steam pro.
PEELED elevators came those moved by
hydraulic power, and this Is now used
on large percentage Of the passenger
elevators In the city. Long ago steam
was RELOCATED to the background 50 far
Is elevators are concerned. and those
lot moved by hydraulic power are
moved by electricity.-New York Sun.

miles an hour; that within city limits
the speed shall not be greater than
twelve miles per hour; that upon

Of commemoration. Col HENRY WAT

Could there be a more fitting poet to
hymn the great Yankee optimist, the
ever cheerful and hopeful poet and
philosopher, the farmer-scholar with
his sublime belief In democracy and his
daily life Of equality with his townsmen,
than Mr.. MARKHAM. the pessimist rhet-
orician weeping over tho French peas

his study windows in Brooklyn and
ploughing his mind for phraseei
And Col. HENRY WArTERsoN, with his
philosophical mind, his eagerness to
shun clamor and controversy. his tom
permanent compact in equal parts Of
beautiful Greek calmness and Eastern
mysticism, his modesty and moderation

OF Mr.. EMERSON. RALPH hitched his
wagon to a star. HENRY hitched the
star-eyed to his wagon.

The thirty-eighth anniversary Of the
assassination Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN has
been the occasion Of the production Of
several interesting memorials Of the great
President. A citizen Of Manchester, N. H.,
came forward with the announcement that
he had the original ballot that he cast for
the lincoln Electors In 1894 At that time
he vas Q moderator and marked his own
ballot and was able TO SECURE II for pressrva-
ton aftss the count. New Hampshirs was
N that year the only New EnslaAd STATE
In which Mr.. LIMooLN's majority was M

twelve being chosen from Congress. three
from the army. thrss from the navy and
four from private station. only three or
possibly four. II now appears, remain.
There are. u y said. only two survivors
Of the eleven Presidential Electors who
voted for LINooLN and HAAnN In Spring
Geld In February. 1851. They are former
United States Senator w. p. KHIlooo, after
ward Of Louisiana, and Judge WELDON Of the
Washington Court Of Claims.
Illinois had In the Presidential election
OF 1900 q smaller representation In the
Electoral College than sithar Aasaanhu-
sstts. Indiana or Kentucky, and IL total
vote that year was les than $4,000.
which 10 . quarter Of . million Les than
ths present vote Of the oity Of New York.
Although the Electoral vote Of Illinois was
smaller than that Of either Indiana or Ken
tuoky. the result Of the Illinois election
was Of greater Importance than party suo-
cess In either. Mr.. LIHooLN was an Illinois
man, and the national convention which.
on Nay 10. isoo. put him b nominstion.
