EO1tl. Tl.0cI Mems


Abraham Lincoln died in this house, TWEEN
ty.two minutes past seven, A. NJ, April 10Th,
1865"
Could volumes say more than those few,
simple words on the small sign which distin-
guishes the old-fashioned, modest, three-story
and basement brick residence at SIG Tenth
street, N. W., Washington, d. g., from its
neighbors?
President Lincoln was carried to this house
from FoTds Theater across the street, on the
night of April 14th, and here in a little side
bed room, surrounded by some of the Nations
greatest men, and amidst very humble fur
nishings, the soul of the great and sublime
man who, by the stroke of his pen liberated
four million beings from slavery, left its storm
enveloped habitation for the great beyond.
The house is the property of the United
States, and is the first building toward which
the Memorial Association of the District of
Columbia turned its attention, when it was
formed for the purpose Of preserving houses
of the capital that had been made historic by
association with the Nations great men.
1t is now occupied as The Lincoln National
Museum, and houses the most noteworthy of
all Lincoln collections.

same position in the Cabinet during Grants

sively minister to Austria and Russia by Pres
ident Arthur's appointment.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT knows of no rules or
regulations which as he expresses it, lean be
permitted to override the laws of the United
States, which it is my sworn duty to enforce"
That proposition will stand against all corners
