 But in the streets of London how is one to know the time? In the Earl's Court road 1t had not been half-past, and at Barker's in High street 1t was but a minute later.

LINcoLNs HOME AT PORTLAND.
Many Pictures, Letters and Other Doc
 lments Illustrate His Life.

Portland, Ore, July 15-Any one who is interested in the life of Abraham Lincoln
 may find much to engage his attention in the Illinois building at the Lewis and Clark exposition The building itself is an exact reproduction of the Lincoln homestead at Springfield. H., the only home ever owned by the martyred pres- ident. Every room is reproduced in it's exact size, and in the front parlor the visitor is told just where Lincoln stood on that day in the fall of 1860 when he was notified that he had been elected President of the United States.
 In the rear parlor, which connects with the front one by wide archway, is a collection of pictures and documents of vivid interest to those who like to study things of historic value The life Of Lincoln is represented by pictures and letters, the latter either in the original or in fac-simile. from his birth to his assassination. The rude little log cabin in Kentucky, where he was born. is shown, with portraits of his parents; pic lures of Lincoln at various times in his career, most of them showing him with out beard, for 1t was not until after he became President that Lincoln let his whiskers grow: letters written by Lin coin in his youth, his earlier public life and during his presidency; and also pie lures of his intimate friends and asso- ciates, and of other noted men whose pupic lives were lnlefWoVen Wltn niS own.
 The public is free to go through the Lincoln house, spending as much time as may be desired in studying the various pictures and reading the letters and other documents in the handwriting of Lincoln, Grant. Palmer, Alexander H. Stephens. Stephen A. Douglas, John A. Logan and other famous men of the period. Up stairs, over the front parlor, is the room where Mir. and Mrs. Lincoln slept. This room has been furnished to correspond with It's furnishings in Lincoln's time, the old-fashioned post bedstead occupying one corner. The room corresponding to the living room of the Lincoln household Is occupied in the Portland replica of the house as sitting room for guests.
 Adjoining the Lincoln home. Illinois has built cosy structure called the Rest Pavilion, with a wide open porch In front Comfortable chairs on this veranda invite the exposition visitor who may find It agreeable to take a rest
