The operation shows that the whole
thing was a preconcerted plan. The
person who fired the pistol was man
about thirty years of age, about five
feet nine, spare built, fair skin, dark
hair, apparently bushy, with large
moustache. Laura Keene and the lead
er of the orchestra recognized him as ],
Wilkes Booth, the actor, and rabd
secessionist. Whoever he was, itn
plainly evident that he thoroughly un-
derstood the theatre, and all the ap-
proaches and modes of escape to the
stage. A person not familiar with the
theatre could not have possibly made
his escape so well and quickly.
The alarm was sounded in every
quarter. Mr.. Stanton was notified and
Immediately left his house.
All the other members of the cabinet
escaped attack.
Cavalrymen were sent out in all d.
rections, and dispatches were sent to
all the Qualifications and it is thought
they will be captured.
About half-past ten O'Clock this
evening, a tall, well-dressed man made
his appearance at Secretary Stewards
residence, and applied for admission

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in thousand APP
proaehes this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes p in f u
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ.
the tendency is at this p r o d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. AT this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities. constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this grea t
change may be expected.

Cousin, occupying box in the second

head and came sut above the temple.
The assassin then jumped from the
box upon the stage and ran across to
the other SIDE, exhibiting a daggeriin

manner, shouting the same words re-
peated by the desperate at Mr.. Sew

The moment the astonished audi

fright of the actors, and reached tho
