Monroe doctrine to this American king"
He ended with the last sentence. and the
jury gave him a verdict in short time.
That night after court Lincoln was sur
rounded by dozens of persons who asked
him to explain the Monroe doctrine, as IT
was not so thoroughly understood then as
now.
Judge Lawrence Weldon of Bloomington.

Claims at Washington. is one of the few
surviving public men who knew Lincoln in

stories of the early days He relates one in
which the scene is laid in this city just
after Stephen A. Douglas had taken a wife,
Lincoln was introduced to Mrs. Douglas,
and found her to be a sprightly CONVERSE
tionalist, who had travelled much and sup
posed that every one else had. Her re-
marks were largely concerning places that
she had visited abroad, and was very much
surprised when Lincoln, after patiently
listening to her conversation, and repeated
ly stating that he had not visited any of the
places she referred to. interrupted her.
Pardon me, madam" he began. deliberate
ly. Mrs Douglas, duly impressed with his
madam, for being abrupt, but permit me to
say. Mrs. Douglas was all attention, that

not form the subject of the remainder of
the conversation.

GIBRALTAR PASSING.
Not the Rock, but It's Importance as
Fortress.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
For nearly 200 years. or since It's capture
in 1904 by the British Admiral Rookie, down
to very recent period, the rock of Gibral-
tar has been the synonym for impregnabil-
ity, and it's possession has been thought to
invest Great Britain with an absolute con-
troll over the entrance to the Medter-
ranean.
1t dominates one of the most frequented
waters In the world. From every quarter
of the wide horizon which is visible from
its summit the steamship tracks converge.
Those coming from the east, from the ports
or the Mediterranean. from China, India,
Australia and the far Pacific, cross those
which arrive there from England and the
United States, from France and Germany,
from South America and western Africa,
and every day throughout the year nearly
200 vessels defile between the columns of
Hercules and pass in sight of the gigantic
fortress which stands there on guard.
Such being the case, it is no wonder that
Great Britain. with its vast commerce to
protect and its distant colonies and de-
tendencies to guard, should these two CEN
turtles past have held on to the place with
such q tenacious grasp, or that 1t should
have spared nothing in it's effort to i'm
prove to the uttermost the natural advan-
tages Of the position, and to make GibraI-
tar. in very fact, the key to the inland sea
at whose entrance 1t Is situated. The con-
troll of the Mediterranean was never so i'm
portant to Great Britain as 1t is today
when the road to India and the east, which
used to lie around the Cape of Good Hope.
has been diverted to the Suez canal and
the Red sea. and to make sure of that
control against whatever opposition may be
encountered has been and is the constant
solicitude~ of the British government
Everything that is possible has been DONE
not only to render Gibraltar impregnable,
but to develop its full utility as a naval
base. The rock heeO hOneVcoYphp6

init OF the hill 200 guns of heavy caliber
and modern pattern have been installed.

Tips ia Writers.

From Punch. - e,.r
No literary vice is more calculated to
make the judicious grieve than that of
repetition; none on the other hand, within
certain limits, is easier of avoidance. For
example, II you have mentioned Berlin in
one line, and are Obliged to refer to that
capital in the next sentehce or paragraph.
it is easy enough to obviate the monotony
of bald repetition by some such synonym
as ATHENS on the Spree" Similarly, If it
is desirable to evade second use of the
name Bacchus one can always substitute
some artistic phrase such as "the pagan
deity who was neither MeaIer nor Teetotal-
err If it be objected that some of our
most eminent authors have lent the weight
of their authority to the contrary view,

such solecisms as ITO be or not to be-"

ANECDOTES OF LINCOLN.
Use of the Monroe Doctrine in an Illi
nois Law Case Unraveled.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
One of the famous stories told of Abra-
ham Lincoln when he was a young lawyer
of central Illinois was recently recalled by
a venerable resident of Bloomington 1t re-
lated 10 a trial at Metamora Many old
men yet living in Metamora and throughout
Woodford county served on juries or Were
witnesses at trials in which Lincoln was
one of the attorneys. At the particular
trial referred to Allen Hart. father of Har-
vey and Edison Hart of Bloomington, was
defendant in suit where the plaintiff
sued to recover a piece of land which he
claimed that King Hart as he was
known. had seized from him.
Lincoln had little to say during the trial,
and IL appeared as though he had lost his
case. When the time came for him to
make the closing argument he arose and
spoke as follows: I'VE don't believe In kings
100 years ago. but we have a doctrine that
we do believe in, and that is the Monroe
doctrine. When the kings of Europe at
tempt to seize land in this hemisphere we
apply the Monroe doctrine To them, and
they experience a change OF heart Why
should We not apply the same doctrine TO
American kings? This little king Is at
tempting to secure possession of land to
which he has no claim, and you, gentlemen

ANAcosTIA BRIDGE INSERTED.
MI. Thayer Of Massachusetts, Criticises
the Condition Of the Streets
Of the City.

The District of Columbia appropriation
bill was passed by the House late yester-
day afternoon. No essential amendment
was made in the bill yesterday although
there was great deal of talk about chart
ties, street cleaning and child-caring insti-
tutions.
Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts,, toward the
close of the consideration of the bill, made
a vehement protest against street cleaning
methods, and said the prevalence of grip
In Washington was due in large measure
to the condition Of the streets.
Repair of Anacostia Bridge.
The provision in the bill for repair of
the Anacostia bridge, which had been ruled
out the day before on point of order, was
perfected by Mr.. McCleary, and brought in

District of Columbia the entire cost of the
pavement lying between the exterior rails

This is only one sanple of 'administra-

led to trouble with General Wood, and l
have not laid bare thousandth part OF
the confusion and suffering caused by
stupid laws and orders. much of the time
in conflict with each other.
I'm the month of May, 1900, affairs reached
an acute stage. he continued. 1T seemed
to be a duty to suggest to General Wood his
incompetence in handling school accounts
and beg him to appoint an officer to do
that work. 1 could see no other way to
save the schools. similar plan was
adopted in the new law that went into
effect at the end of the next month
1.-THE only answer General Wood made
was to say that no confusion existed"
Protested Against Reduction.
Mr.. Frye protested against the cutting
down of salaries of teachers. but General
Wood declared mis- purpose to do so. When
loud protest was heard from teachers in
New York during their tour In this country
General Wood sent to Mr.. Frye the follow
ing:
Inform teachers no cut in salary. Error
in print. WOOD
Knowing the facts. 1 of course refused to
post such notice.
General Wood hurried to Cambridge and
in the presence of about thirteen hundred
people stated that the mistake was his own
that he had signed the wrong law I could

would sign the law as il stood. The law as

Wood and 1t was the Same law that was
published.
There was no error in print
General Wood he says, quieted the teach
ers at Harvard in July by promising that
the new law should not go into effect until
October !. 1t was he claims. in effect when
General Wood made that promise.
Il had offered to do lifework among the
natives of the Philippines" said Mr.. Frye.
THE word Cuba had never passed between
Mr.. Root and myself. But 1 went to Cuba
at his request. I not only served without
pay, turning the salary of my Office over to
the orphan asylums, but l never presented a
bill for a single penny of expense during
my entire service.
Il tried hard to do my simple duty. Four
years passed and in all that time, by no
word or act did Mr.. Root reveal to me that
he was not a friend and supporter of my
work. His words before the Senate commit
