fore, under orders, he broke camp ana
moved his regiment to Alexandria, Va,
where early next morning, he met his
death.
THAT story has often been told-how
Ellsworth saw flag flying from the
roof Of the hotel kept by James Jack
son, and how he halted his regiment
and himself dashed into the hotel, up
the stairs and tore down that flag that
was flying there in open defiance Of the
United States Government. OF course,
1t was military mistake, an unwise &C
ton; but it was natural to Elmer Ellis
worth. As he was coming down the
stairs he was shot and instantly killed
by jackson, who lay In wait for him on
n dark landing. Frank Brownell, of the
Zouaves, got there in time to pin the
assassin to the wall with his bayonet,
but too late to save his commander.
Senator Zach Chandler, who had ac-
companied the regiment, Immediately
mounted feet horse and hastened to
Washington with the news. When he
reached town in the early dawn hap
pened to be standing in front of the hotel
where Chandler and l were both stay
ing. He flung himself from his horse
and exclaimed. Ellsworth Is murdered.
The President must be told at once. I'm
going up there now. Come with me-
He told me the whole story us we hur-
ried to the White House.
ut was still hardly daylight, but we
reused the porter, and despite his pro-
test that the President was still in bed,
Mr.. Lincoln was summoned. After
brief delay he entered the large recep-
ton room upstairs. He was only par
italy dressed; remember that he put on
his vest as he came in. Chandler falter-
ed out the terrible news of Ellsworth's
assassination, and the immediate ven
geance of Brownell.
Mr.. Lincoln stood for moment star
ing at us with an expression of astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION, then turned ST.
lently away and walked to window that
opened out toward the river. He stood
there in silence long time, and then
turned toward us. The tears were stream
Ing down his homely, rugged face, and
he made an evident and strong effort to
control his feeling. Well said he, slow
ly, so this is the beginning-murder!
All, my friends, what will the end Of all

And what grandmother says goes"
An anxious correspondent wonders
whether the present generation of mid
dle-aged women are going to make as
good grandmothers as did their moth
ers. "Will they wear white caps, and
be proud of their age, and be content
to be nice old ladies'? Or will they de-
cline the honor and jauntily maintain
a youthful air which their looks will
BELIEF"
Well, we rather think the grand.
mothers of the next generation will not
wear white caps. Half century ago
as soon as a woman married, regard.
less Of her age, she donned cap,
badge of matronhood. Many of the
grandmothers Of to-day have worn the
cap throughout their welded life 1t
is not likely that the youngerly women,
when they have attained the dignity Of
the grandmother, will adopt the cap.
AS to settling down into mice old
ladies" it is all a matter of fashion.
History records plenty of instances of
women who have retained their
charms we'll into old age, and have
actively participated in the work of
the world. A woman is as old as she
looks, we are told, and certainly wom-
ans tendency is to look constantly
younger for her years. There is no
ground for the belief that because u
woman looks young and feels young
she does not possess the qualities that
go toward making her a good grand
mother" All honor to the grandmoth-
ers of to-day! The grandmothers of
tomorrow will be worthy successors.

MlLLloNs IN roorA EILLlNea
In Ten Years 1t Is Estimated $4,000.
900 in Gold Has Been Used,


OF the wealth of this country there
is u certain part that has never en-
tered into the reports Of the census or
fiscal departments of the government.
There Is, If the estimates Of men who
should know are to be taken us au-
thoritative, over $l5,0OO,0OO personal
wealth in the shape of gold, of which
the government is entirely ignorant
or, if not ignorant, has decided not to
mention in its financial reports. Each
year there is over $2,OO0,O0O worth Of
gold that disappears, says the Boston
Post, that is lost to the moneys of the
world, and yet it is not lost.
More than $2,OOO,OOO worth of gold
is used annually in caring for the
mouths of citizens Of the United States
who have been neglectful in the matter

tically wealth that Is fixed III the

dered and perjured and sold them
selves, since the world began.
The figures seem vast when the
small amount used in making filling
is considered, but they are undoubtedly
correct. The man in charge Of the
gold department of the largest dental
supply house in the country arrived at
these figures after extensive research
and calculations. and his estimate is
verified by other men in position to
know.
Two million dollars taken out of Its
stock of gold is the price that the coun.
try pays annually for having its teeth
cared for In an up-to-date manner.
Ten years ago it is estimated TINT
only 20 per cent of the people of this
country ever went to a dentist except
to have tooth pulled. Five years ago
the percentage was 80 1-3. Now, 1t is
declared. 80 per cent of the population
pay visits to the dentists chair for
some other reason than that of hay
ing an aching tooth extracted. This In
crease III Tue IiuluueT VI ucDIuI patents
in the country has resulted in con-
seduent increase In the amount of gold
used for this purpose. Practically all
of the so per cent who are numbered
as the dentists patients have some
gold in their teeth. Thus ten years
ago there was only about 100000
worth of gold put into the mouths of
the citizens, as against the 100000
of to-day.
Using the rate of increase each year
for the last ten years as a basis, the
average yearly consumption Of the pre-
cious metal in this manner has been
about $1,50O,OOO year. This would
make about S15,O0O,OOO worth of gold
which has been put into teeth since
1894. For this amount could be built
three of the best battleships in the
world, the Presidents salary could be
paid for thirty years, every voter who
goes to the polls this year could be
paid dollar for his trouble. and still
leave million for good measure.
