ROOSEVELT PARTICIPATED IN
The CORNER STONE LAYING
Tonight Is the Anniversary Of the
Assassination Of Abraham Lincoln

it had been announced that President
Lincoln and General Grant would at
tend the performance.
Just before starting for the theatre,
President Lincoln paid his customary
visit to Secretary Stanton, at the war
department. It just happened that the
president while returning to the white
house, accompanied by Secretary STAN
ton. referred to the secretary's often
expressed fear that some assassin
would seek the life of the president.
Mr.. Lincoln said he was confident that
his guards would not allow an assas-
sin to get at him and, even if some
fanatic should succeed, he would not
be able to escape with his life.
A few hours later President Lincoln,
with Mrs. Lincoln, his two sons and
Major Rathbone occupied box iii
Ford>s theatre, on the right side of the
stage and about fourteen feet above the
level of the stage. 1t was at the close
Of the first act that Booth fired the
fatal shot and leaped from the box
upon the stage, injuring his leg \ Z
falling, having caught his foot in one
OF the flags on the side of the stage.
Before Booth escaped, he stabbed Will
liam S. Withers. of Wakefield, who
blocked his way. Withers was arrested
but proved his innocence and positively
identified Booth as the assassin.
Wounded to death President Lincoln
was carried from the theatre amid
scene Of indescribable excitement. He
was taken to house across the street,
occupied by tailor, named Peterson,
and there he died early Saturday MORN
ing, surrounded by the members of his
family and the officers of the cabinet.
The last one of those who were pres
ent at Lincoln's death, Secretary John
Hay. died last year. He was at that
time one of President Lincoln's secre-
taries. On the night of President Lin
coins death Mr.. Hay became the pos
SCISSOR Of the ring worn by the dead
president. He had it made over with
crystal setting, containing lock of
President Lincoln's hair. 1t was this
ring which President Roosevelt wore at
his inauguration, at the suggestion of
Mr.. Hay. e.

N Mount Rainier Is Beginning
{ to Smoke Up and May Erupt

! North Yakima, Wash, April "a
The smoke from Mount Rainier is
seen plainly from here, although the
mountain is over ninety miles away.
The mountain has been emitting fire
and cinders for three days, the first re-
liable report reaching here yesterday
from a prospector camping near there
and driven away by the fearful rain OF
ashes.
In his letter Jack Campbell, the
prospector says:
Rainier began to smoke Monday
evening. On Tuesday it was worse,
Wednesday ashes and red-hot mud fell
into camp. Ruinblings were heard and
Ihad to move. Thursday sulphurous
smoke hung over the crater and the
indications are that Rainier is an ac-
tive volcano. The rnrnblings are
growing more noticeable and are felt
ten miles from the base.
Two years ago there was evidence
OF eruption, bit not nearly so severe
as the present one. Residents and
prospectors near the mountain are be-
ginning to flee.

1866, that the country, rejoicing over
the conclusion of the civil war, which
had cost SO many precious lives and
enormous sacrifices of money, was
plunged into darkest gloom by the
hands of a fanatical assassin. On the
morning of that epsntful day President
Lincoln had the first opportunity ein
many months to have a long talk with
his eldest son, Capt. Robert LINCOLN,
who had been serving on the staff Of
General Grant. Father and son break
