ton Of Lincoln.
When Lincoln was inaugurated the
first time there was one little Incl
dent that impressed those who saw it.
The president-elect came forward
upon the platform prepared at the
east front of the capitol with his
natural awkwardness increased by the
momentous circumstances of the oc-
casion, and by gorgeous wardrobe,
in which II was evident he felt ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable. The stiff
dress coat. vest and pantaloons of
black broadcloth were enough of
themselves to disturb his mental and
physical equanimity, but to these
were added other membranes in the
shape of brand new silk hat and
ponderous gold-headed cane.
The cane he managed to put away
in a corner, but the disposition of the
hat perplexed him greatly. 1t was too
good to throw away, too fine, as he
thought, to rest upon The rough
boards, so, for a minute at least,
poor Lincoln stood there in the gaze
of assembled thousands, grasping the
hat desperately and seeking in vain
for safe place to deposit 1t. Doug

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.
Science has demonstrated beyond
question that pulmonary tuberculosis
or consumption of the lungs is both
preventable and a durable disease.
This disease is produced by germs
which find their way into the body
through abrasions of the skin, through
the mucous membrane of the mouth
or the intestines and through the
lungs. The germs of the disease are
found in the sputum Of persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis. The germs
are also found in the flesh and milk of
animals suffering from the disease.
The germs are found nearly every
where. These germs cannot live in
the tissues of a thoroughly healthy
person, as the cells of the body are
capable of destroying the germs, but
when the body is weakened by indi-
gestion, by the habits of breathing
foul or bad air, by anything which i'm
pairs the health, the tissues lose their
power to destroy germs so that when
they enter the body they find lodge
ment, grow and develop and tubercu-
losis of the lungs, bowels or of some
other part is the result.
Statistics show that at least 10000
persons die of this disease in this
country annually. Four or five times
that number of persons are sick all
the time with this disease. Tubercu-
losis kills more than any other NAL
ady. Experience has shown that the
disease is not incurable, as has been
generally supposed, but is a very cur
able malady If taken in time, and if
the right treatment is applied. Not
less than one hundred thousand lives
could be saved every year by the APP
plication of proper means for prevent
ing and curing this terrible disease.

still remain unbuilt. 1t may also be
affirmed that IL it had not been built
the recent war, of which Witte was
from the beginning the most vigorous
opponent, would not have been waged.
In 1893 Witte was raised to the lofti-
est position in the government that
may be held by a subject of the car.
He was made minister of finance. This

veto their demands. He could arr
range commercial treaties without con-
sulting any one. He had power equal
to that Of the American congress.
White did not hesitate to use his
mower. He began by remodeling the
empires finances. It was the worst
system in Europe, but he transformed
1t into an institution which won the
admiration Of the world. He built
raiIrc ads from the Baltic to the Pacific
and from the Caspian to the White
sea. He drained the treasury to pro-
mote internal Improvements Of every
description, but his most implacabls
enemy has not impugned his motives
or denied that his hands have re-
manned clean. He proved to be Won
derful hnancier. Without adding to the
burdens of the people he increased the
revenues Of the empire.
Like all great men. he is both loved.
and hated. He is the idol OF the peo-
nile but the most advanced Liberal
leaders have been exasperated by his
devotion to Capitalization and his OPP
position to the scheme of making the
zemstvos representative. He opposed
the classification Of Finland. he is
strong advocate of a free press and he
has frequently taken sides with the
workingmen In Industrial disputes. He
is detested by the old aristocracy,
which cannot endure to be dominated
by man who has risen from the
ranks; at which he may smile. since he

due to the drying Of the grain. The
farmers withdrew their patronage and
began to ship by water or wagons.
Young Witte saw that the road was
losing custom and began an tnvestiga-
ton on his own account. He very soon
discovered the existence Of whole
sale conspiracy to steal the grain en-
route The railroad officials winked
at the theft and pocketed their share
of the proceeds. The plucky young
clerk collected convincing proof Of the
conspiracy and took it to the govern
ment minister Of communications. AS
a reward he was promoted to the posi-
ton of station master.
Shortly afterward the Russo Turkish
war broke out. Russian methods in
that campaign were quite as muddled
as they have been during the recent
war. The men at the front were starv-
ing for the supplies which were sent.
but never reached them. The negli-
Rence and incapacity of the railroad
officials were such that all the stations
ON the lines leading to the seat of war
were clogged to the verge of immobil-
ity. White found his own station block
ed with freight. He wired for instruc-
official announced his intention of pro-
ceeding on his own responsibility. The
Mortified division superintendent warn
ed him that his official head would be
the price Of his interference. He went
to work and within week order was
restored and everything began to move
in it's regular order At the close Of
the campaign Witte was made director
Of traction.
The president of the great Transcau-
casian line was Vishnegradsky. who
afterward became Russian minister OF
finance. He offered White an impor-
tant government post, but the latter
was SO devoted to the railway business
that he declined. A few months later,
through vishnegradsky's influence. he
was appointed director of railways for
the empire, a dazzling preferment for
an almost unknown man. He held THU
position until 1882 and was then pro-
NOTED to the ministry of ways and
communication. ~ everybody knows,
