"a was never a model al dignity
and convention. ENGAGED in two
affairs during his career which
hr always wanted to forget. OF his
connection with these events he seem
cl to he heartily ashamed one was
almost duel and the other was rev
olutionary act as a Legislator.
Lincoln as a Wing served in the Illi-
uOi> legislature of lS4O-41. There was
Il bitter fight against the state banks,
led 10y the Democrats. The state of af-
fairs was such that the Democrats be
hrvcd that an adjournment of the leg
i,laturc sine die would Kill the baIAiS.
The Wings undertook to prevent this
10y abScntinG themselves and thus re
Gucin@ tn" attendance below 4 quorum.
Lincoln and Joseph Gillespie, another
W hig, were delegated to attend the
sessions and call the yeas and nays.
The sergeant at arms was sent ont to
gather in enough Wings to make Il
quorum. Lincoln and Gillespie, with
another Wing, then ran to a window
of the church in which the legislature
sat and jumped out
Gillespie said after Lincoln'S death.
Il think Mr.. Lincoln always regret
ted that he entered into that arrange
mCnt. as he deprecated everything that
SaVorcd of the revolutionary.
But it was what Lincoln in Il letter to
his close friend Joshua +. Speed called
his duel with Shields" that caused
him more regret than any other Incl
dent connected with his public life.
This also WAS brought Il lout indirectly
because OF Iincoln'S attitude regarding
state finances. though there was Il
more romantic side to it.
In lNl2 Lincoln was engaged to Mary
Todd, whose particular chum was Ju-
liz Jayne, aftcrWard the wife of Ly-
man lrinbull. James Shields Il young
lrisllnau, was the state auditor. He
WAS said to be Unfortunately vain" and
to haze set himself UP as a great beau
though untitled by nature for playing;
that part. Mary Todd and other Spring
field bellies seemed to take delight in
r.diculiug Shields for his social prctcn
siouS Miss Todd had some talent as Il
sarcastic writer. There appeared in
the SanGamon Journal, Springfield
newspaper Il series of articles, prrSum-
ally humorous, in which Shields WAS
made the bait of ridiculc. The first ar
tee criticised him in good naturcd
way for his management of state
finances. The succeeding articles held

Invited by Huntsville Business Men
 to Attend Education Rally.
 Huntsville. August 13.--(speciaL)- Gov. B. B. Conner has wired his &C., ceptance of an invitation to address the members of the Huntsville Busi- ness Mems Club on next Friday even ing.
 GoGv. Conner Is coming to Huntsville in response to an invitation to be present and address an education ral- ly which will be held under the aus pices of County Superintendent s. R. Butler. He will reach here on Friday evening Id knowing this the Busi- ness Mems Club invited him to ad- dress the organization.
 The Elk Theatre will be opened for the first time early in October under the management of Thos. P. Little john.
 The theatre has a large stage sup piled with all modern conveniences and Huntsville people will be enabled to see better class of attractions than ever brought here before
 Among the attractions already book ed for the season are Parsifal, the Texas Steer. Red Feather, Joseph and William Jefferson, Cyril Scott. the Squaw man, Al Fields Minstrels. John Griflth, Paul Gilmore, the Heir to the I1OUIaAt flHe IealtAA O4 oiOnSs 6lSdIoE Robson and numerous others
 Mayor R. Earl Smith, City Clerk Henry 0. Pollard Street Supt. Frank Murphy, and Aldermen M. R. Murray, and Gleen Wells left last midnight for Birmingham to study the question of street paving in that city. The Hunts vile delegation wants to know what character of paving is best for or6i- nary usage. The question is a perti- nent one this city at present as the paving of the business section with some kind of material is about to be- gin.
 Fittings necessary for the extension of the gas main system of Huntsville have . en received by the New York Alabama oil O., and the work of ex- tending the mains to all parts of the city will begin in few days.
 A bill for eight years privilege taxes at $1o0 per year with interest was presented yesterday to the local man. agement of the Western Union Tele- graph Co. The amount claimed is about $1,000. According to the books of the city, the Western Union has never paid the privilege tax.

MOBILE IN GRASP
BUSINESS OF CITY IS SERIOUSLY
 CRIPPLED.
The Wireless System and Long Dis- tance People Will Relieve the Situation Unless They Join
 Strikers Ranks.

Mobile, Aug. 13.-(Special.) )-The te- legraphers' strike has Mobile included in It's grasp now, but this city is not shut off from the outside world as result, as some people may suppose. for the Western Union Telegraph Com pany has four faithful operators at work, including the manager, and Is attending to all the business 1t re- ceives.
 There are fourteen men out in Mo- bile. Eight Postal men, including two in charge of branch offices, quit work at 10 o'clock today. Six Western Union men, inclding the branch men, stopped at o'clock, and while the Western Union main office Is at work, the branch offices are closed down.
 Taking the situation at the best, the managers of the telegraph companies at work, the business of the city is se- riously crippled. Brokers and men who depend upon the telegraph service for their daily business are losing hun dreds of dollars every hour that tele- graph service is seriously interrupted or shut off.
 Five minutes before Earnest Della croix the Postal operator at the Cham Der of Commerce, quit work, he had a message from a broker to pass the New Orleans relay station, and he could not send 1t because there was no one to take it. Mir. Dellacroix said he had another message on hand that proba- bly a thousand people were waiting to see.
 With all the managers of the tele- graph companies at work with what assistance they have, telegraph service will be bad until a sufficient number of operators can be secured As one op- orator said, sending message under these conditions, it seems, will be- like getting in a row boat to go across the bay, and figuring on the weather what time the boat will get there.
 It Is possible that the Wireless Tele- graph Company and the Long Distance Telephone people will assist the tele- graph companies. The wireless people told The Herald this morning that they could take some of the business, but did not know then whether they would or not. The Bell Telephone people did not know this forenoon what they would do, for they expected some word from their superintendent
 Taking business from the public di- rect, the wireless people and the long distance people will relieve the situa- tion, unless their operators are pre- vailed upon in behalf of the strike.

PLANS ARE ORDERED
THIRTY-NINE COTTAGES TO BE
 BUILT.
Rumor to Effect That These Houses are Being Put Up for Acc0mmO- dation of French Inn
 migrants.

Mobile, Aug. 13.--(Special. )--Ste- phen T. Stephens, a well known Dau- phin Street candy dealer and manufac- turer, yesterday afternoon commission ed Architect Willis R. Biggers to pre- pare plans and specifications for the erection of thirty-nine cottages. cover ing and entire block. near the M. J. and K. c. Depot. This block of new houses is to be bounded on the east and west by Conception and St. Eman- uel Streets.
 The houses are to be built as an in- vestment. to represent an outlay or $30,00O. They are to be put out on the market for rent, and this shows the faith in the south part of town Tor progressiveness. To business men who know of this deal, it shows that the south part of town is attracting at- tention all the time, and is building as fast as any other part of the city.
 It is rumored that these cottages will be built in advance of big bunch or French and Greek immigrants who are to colonize near Mobile, on one of the railroads Nothing definite has been done, however.
 It is an assured fact that there are a lot of French people to settle near Mobile. One of the first of large number to arrive Is Jean Faur, who has come from Bordeau, France, and has purchased five acres to plant a vine- yard near the mouth of Dog River. He is to grow the real products of France on Alabama soil
 Mobile is right now interesting very large number of business people who are strangers here. These people are seeing opportunities here that have been neglected, and that are to be de- veloped right along until Mobile stands in the right place on the Mexican Gulf.
