Bishop Potter's sacred

Bishop Potter's sacred saloon in
New York has failed. The subway
tavern" that was opened with an ad.
dress by that eminent divine, and
singing of the Doxology, closed it's
doors on the 30th ult. at midnight.
The manager of a contiguous restaur.
ant has bought the stock and "good
will" and will operate it as a regular
saloon. It seems there had not been
sufficient income from the business to
pay current expenses. The "Tavern"
was opened in October, 1904.
The farm OF ITO acres on which
Abraham Lincoln was born, and reared
in infancy, near Hadgenville, KY, was
sold, few days ago. for $500, the
purchaser being r. J. Collier, OF New
York. The price is not much more
than the land ia worth for farming
purposes, and the wonder is that the
American people should have allowed
the birthplace of SO distinguished and
good and great q man to be sold at
auction to any individual, as an in.
vestment representing dollars and
cents value. 1t should have been
bought by the nation, or State, or
some patriotic club, and turned into
public park to commemorate in en-.
during form the noble life OF one of
the greatest men in history.
