MUCH WRANGLIAG IN STANDARD TRIAL Woman is First Witness Called
 By Prosecution HAS TESTIFIED BEFORE Final WrangIe Comes On Offering Evi- dence That Standard of New ter
 sey Changed Corporate Ex-
 lstence In 1898.

Find1eY, O., October i6-Nueh legal ar gument and little actual progress marked the second day of the trial of the Stand ard Oil company of Ohio for conspiracy against trade The argument was caused by the objection of attorneys for the Standard as to the character of evidence introduced by 'he prosecution. In every instance howevoi, the ruling of Judge Banker favored the prosecution. The re- suit was that the testimony of John D. Rockefeller given in 1s9S in the litigation against the Standard Oll trust before the supreme court Cf the state. was admit ted and read to tire jury by Attorney Phelps for the prosecution. This consumed the morning session and part of the after noon.
 Woman Is First Witness.
 Mrs Ida NJ. Butts the first witness of ahe trial was then called to the stand. Mrs. Bntts said he the stepdaugh- ter of Ire late George M. Rice, an inde- penden1 oil reinor of Marietta. O. She had acted as NJ. Riceis private secretary and was the ex.autrix of his estate. She produced at tse request of Attorney Phelps ;he cert .heates of original trust" stock owned by R1ce, the certlHcaleS of "leg Il title into which these were iater transferred and scrip showing title eo q fractional share of stock in all of iBe original twenty subsidiary companies. The text Of these certificates was read into the evidence and Ms. Butts was cxcused the dafanse not caring to cross examine Ter.
 The first wrangle of the day then be- gan and lasted untll adjournment at 4:s0 o'clock. It con H1en.ed when MT. Phelps offered as evidence a certified copy the record in the office oi the Standard oil company of New Jersey, showing that In 1898 aie StaEsi1rd Oll company or that state changed is corporate existence by inereasl' 2 the number Of it's directors from three to nine. 1t was argued by the defense that this certificate was unau- thenticased and incompetent.
 Judge Reserves Decision.
 Judge Banker reserved hIs ruling on this point untl tomorrow.
 The objection of the defense to the eyi- denee brought forward was mainly on the groul.d tn4. the prosecution was go ing entirely outside of the case set forth in the intorm3 ton filed by County Prosecutor DaVi,i. i'esides this the au- thenticlty of the evidence was ques toned.
 The general arswor to these objections was made by Attorney Gene ral Ellis, who made bis first apearance as an active participant in the prosecution, and by Attorney Phe,.s.

Did Lincoln Say 1t?

New York Tribune-The Cleveland
Plain Dealer, after trying for some
time to answer inquiries regarding the
occasion of Abraham LincOln's use OF
the words. "You can fool all the peO-
pIe some of the time and some Of the
people all of the time, but not all the
people all the time" gives it up.
Colonel Hay was appealed to, but that
biographer of President Lincoln had
to acknowledge he never encountered
the sentence when making minute in
vestigation of LincOln's speeches, pa
pers, letters and recorded sayings. An
Ohio congressman who had been asked
the question referred the inquirer to
the library of congress, where, il any
where, the information could be OBJ
tanned. The Washington Post re-
ports the result. Assistant Librarian
Spofford made a written reply, in
which he says the sentence does not
occur in any Of Lincoln's writings,
adding that Mr.. Nicoiay, LIncoln's
secretary, and associate of Colonel
John Hay in writing the elaborate
biography of Lincoln, told Spofford
the alleged Lincoln saying was spuri-
Gus. Librarian Spofford says the real
author of the popular sentence was
man, who fooled the people more
successfully than any other man of
his time.

THE PEN THAT SIGNED THE
PROCLAMATION.

On the anniversary (Feb. 12) Of the
birth of Mr. Lincoln it is fitting to.
print these verses, written just after
the emancipation proclamation of
January, 1853. The unknown author
seems to have had a glimpse into the
future, for the great president has
achieved an Immortality of fame
while Eugene the unfortunate, has
found that policy is not honor
Gold from the mines of the sunset
coast,
Tipped with the diamonds crystal
frost,
Handle of agate studded with pearls,
Here's the new pen, not made for
churls,
That the king will delight to honor
Brokenhandled, with hard WORK worn,
Spattered with ink, as though called
to mourn;
Pen of steel, with handle Of wood
This old stub in the ranks has stood
Too long to think Of honor
Will our holidays come at last?
It may be a nations ere it's past
A holy day for a nation freed
From shameful bonds and beginning
to lead
A life of true Christian honor.
Three millions granted the right to
their souls.
This deed will shine on eternity's
scrolls.
Only the signatures wanting now,
Clearly written by him whose brow
This age shall crown with honor.
Point of diamond, pen Of gold,
Only these can be worthy-hold!
When a righteous deed is to be done
Does God always choose some high
placed one
Whom the proud delight to homer
Let Eugene in dim boudoIr,
Gorgeous as dreams, Or the Turks
bazaar,
Weave subtle webs with the point SO
fine 4
Of her jeweled pen; she may wake to
find
That policy is not honor.
But Americas story will proudly tell
How Abraham Lincoln felt the swell
Of Humanity's heart, and when tine
was ripe,
Grasped his old steel pen with manly B
grippe,
And signed for a Nations hono1,
Thus the homely pen that had done
the work,
Too true republican ever to shirh,
Too honest and blunt for any ruse,
And not too fine for the peoples use,
Was promoted unto honor.

9incoIniana.

A paragraph has recently started on
it's rounds through the press to the
effect that Mrs. Frances G. HOtto has
lust died at Pittsburg, Mass, aged 10,
The remarkable point about the par
agraph is that Mrs. Hotto, with her
husband, Harry A. Hotto, was playing
| with Thomas and Laura Keene" at
Ford's theater in Washington on the
night that President Lincoln was as
sassinated! There were no such ac-
tors in the cast, according to the play
bill. and the idea of connecting the
late Thomas w. Keene with the per-
Torrance of "Our American Cousin
on that fatal night is doubtless the
Joke of some would-be wag, but as
anything relating TO the death Oh
Lincoln is sure to be read by the pup
lie the story of Mrs. Hotto's death
will doubtless be preserved and tounu
half a century hence in books descrlo-
ing the assassination.
A statement in late number OF the
New York Dramatic Mirror is to the
effect that there are six players no"
living who were in the cast on the
night of the tragedy. John Matthews
who played Mr.. Coyle, the attorney,
died in New York City on the 10th OF
last month. The six players are May
Hart. who acted Georgiana; Jennie
Gourlay (Mrs. Robert Struthers), who
played Mary Trenchard; Miss H.
Trueman, who was the Augusta, and
Harry Hawk, w. ]. Ferguson and +.
A. Emerson. Both Mr. Hawk and Mr..
Ferguson are still actively before the
theater- going public, but Mr.. Emer-
son retired from the stage years ago,
and at last accounts was florist in
southern city.

Where Lincoln was Married.

The old Edwards home on South
Second street, Springfield, ILL.,, where
Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd were
married, which was later converted in
to st. Agatha's school under the
direction of the Episcopal church in
that diocese, has been made into one
of the most beautiful homes in Spring
field.
The old residence has witnessed
some interesting events during its
life. The old house as 1t was had
many hooks and corners, it's old-fa-
shioned stateliness added to the charm
of romance, and many we're the stories
told by schoolgirls of how Lincoln
was married in this room and dined in
another
The front parlor, where Lincoln
was married, has been changed, in
that one large massive window re-
places the former low Wrench win
dows, of which there were two. A new
front door has bees put in, which
is a pity, as the old one OF heavy oak
seemed a part of the house and had
swung open to admit some Of the most
| illustrious men and women of the state
and country. The big entrance hall
and stairway will remain the same as
when Mary Todd came down the oaken
steps to her wedding.
For over a year no one occupied the
home, but now it has put on again its
oldtime Importance, and, being sit
uated as it is, far back in the yard
surrounded with trees and shrubs, il
makes in reality one of the citys mos
artistic residences.

CHAPTER XXI.

Leslie lay unconscious while the
sun sunk below the horizon and the
delicious summer cleaning came soft
ly upon the moor-lay like flower
struck down by some rude hand-and
the evening star shone pale in the sky
before she came back to life and her
great sorrow.
For a while it seemed to her that
| the whole scene through which she
| had passed was a hideOus dream, and
when it's reality came crushing down
upon her she uttered low cry and
| shivered as if with cold. The sudden
destruction of her joy and happiness
left her stunned and bewildered. A
| few short hours ago and she and
Yorke had been sitting hand in hand,
| heart to heart, talking of their mar
riage. and noW-now he was hers no
| longer. In a sense, he had never been
hers. that all the time he had been
wooing her, forcing her to love him,
he had been in honor bound to this
other woman.
AS she thought of her-this Finetta,
this woman with the bold eyes-a
| feeling of shame and humiliation was
added to the misery of Leslie's loss.
That he, Yorke, her idol, her king,
should ever have stopped to love such
a woman seemed to her base ana
terrible She had set him on so
lofty q pedestal, had regarded him as
so noble and high-minded, that the
knowledge of his falseness to both Of
them hurt her like a physical blow.
She sat for some time waiting for
strength to enable her to reach home,
and as she sat and looked round It
seemed as if something had gone out
of her Iife-as if a weight which no
power nor time could lift had fallen
upon her heart. Before her she saw
stretching in a dull, gray hopeless
vista the many years she would prob
ably have to live, the long life without
Yorke, and haunted by the memory OF
these few happy days.
If 1 had never seen him-if l had
not loved him so dearly!" was the bur,
den of her hearts wall. ooh, if
had only died down there before-be
fore I saw the locket and heard this
iwoman's story!"

a little while ago; now she would have
welcomed him.
