Close observation on the part Of a
newspaper man In Boston several
years ago revealed striking device
employed by the firm Of McIliln, Mead
& White, the noted New York arch:
tects. Of which Stanford White, wao
was murdered by Harry X. Thaw iii
New York recently. WINS a member.
The device, says the Pittsburg Gazette.
Times, was an acrostic of names ia.
nous In history, literature and art by,
which the firms name was to be Ell
graved on the Boston Public library
As may be observed, the arrangement
defied literature, history and philoso-
ply in arrangement, and this was the
thing that attracted the newspaper
mans attention. The names were con.
glomerated from all nations and ages
into seemingly neat ornamentatiop
for the fine building. Beginning at the
top of space to be devoted to names
famous in the world in various lines
were the following:
Moses,
Cicero,
Kalidasa,
1socrates.
Milton.
These names, through their initials.
formed the first part of the acrostic,
spelling plainly "McKim." A sigh,
space appeared before the next list Of
names, which was:
Mozart.
Euclid,
Aeschylus.
Dante.
The initials Of these names brought
out the second name of the firm,
"Mead." Another slight space. and the
following names appeared:
Wren,
Herrick,
Irving,
Titan.
Erasmus.
Here was the name white" also en-
graved, the whole device bringing out
the firm name Of "McKim, Mead &
White" in connection with the worlds
famed men. 1t was in 1890, just before
the building was completed, that the
discovery was made and published.
The list Of names was changed.

THE REAL LINCOLN.

He Was Not Homely, and He Was
Not slovenly In Dress.
For many years it has been the fash
ion to call Mr.. Lincoln homely. He
was very tall and very thin. His eyes
were deep sunken, his skin of sallow
pallor, his hair coarse, black and un-
ruly. Yet he was neither ungraceful
nor awkward nor ugly. His large fea-
lures fitted his large frame, and his
a body that measured six feet four
inches. His was sad and thoughtful
face, and from boyhood he had carried
a load Of care. 1t is small wonder that
when alone or absorbed in thought the
face should take on deep lines, the eyes
appear as if seeing something beyond
the vision Of other men and the Shout
ders stoop as though they, too, were
bearing weight. But in a moment
all would be changed. The deep eyes
could flash or twinkle merrily with hui
NOR or look out from under overhang-
Ing brows as they did upon the Five
Points children in kindliest gentleness.
So, too, in public speaking, when his
tall boGy rose to its full height, with
head thrown back and his face trans
figured with the fire and earnestness
Of his thought, he would answer Doug
las in the high. clear tenor that came
to him in the heat Of debate, carrying
his ideas so far out over listening
crowds. Aud later, during the years Of
war, when he pronounced with noble
gravity the words Of his famous ad-
dresses. not one in the throngs that
heard him could truly say that he was
other than handsome man.
1t has been the fashion, too, to say
that he was slovenly and careless in
his dress. This also is mistake. His
clothes could not fit smoothly on his
gaunt and bony frame. He was no
tailor's figure of man, but from the
first he clothed himself as we'll as his
means allowed and in the fashion of
the time and place.
In reading the grotesque stories of
his boyhood, of the tall stripping whose
trousers left exposed a length Of SHIN
1t must be remembered not only how
poor he was, but that he lived on the
frontier, where other boys, less poor,
were scarcely better clad. In ,vandalYa,
the blue jeans he wore were the dress
Of his companions as well, and later,
from Springfield days on, clear through
his presidency, his costume was the
usual suit of black broadcloth, careful
ly made and scrupulously neat. He
cared nothing for style. It did not
matter to him whether the man with
whom he talked wore coat of the
latest cut Or. owned no coat at all. It
was the man inside the coat that in

DOCTOR,S HAND POISONED
Infected By Slight Cut Sustained
During Successful Operation.

Physicians OF Bellevue Hospital are worried.
it was said last night at tho hospital. over the
condition of DIR. Horace W. Frank head of the
second surgical division. who IS suffering from
blood poisoning in his right hand and arm. An
operation TO relieve DIR. Frank was performed
last night by DR.. B. T. TlIton.
About week ago DIR. Frank performed an
operation on a patient. in which he received a
slight cut in his right hand He treated II at
once, and thought it trifng a matter that he
continued the operation He was engaged at
the time, he says, at the critical stage of the
operation on the patient and TO delay long
would undoubtedly have proved fatal to the pa
tient.
That operation was successful. and the M
tient is now likely to recover. Two DAYS after
the operation DIR Frank felt stinginR sensa
tion in his right hand A day later his hand be-
gan to swell. and a day after that the pain had
extended TO the arm. BY that time there was a
noticeable swelling of the arm also. Stiu he
continued TO treat himself with sinple remedies
Last Monday he was suffering excrucIatine
pain i'm the whole arm and shoulder The I'm
gers of his right hand had swollen TO twice their
normal size. The operation yesterday. il was
said late last night, gave the doctor great re-
lief, the hrSt he had experienced since the An

TUNNEL OPEN AUG. |.
STETNWAY BORE READY.
South Tube To Be Tracked at Once
Steel Cars for Passengers.

The steinway or 42d street. tunnel is to be
opened for traffic on August l. The air pressure
in the south tube is to be shut off early next
week, showing that the work under the river
on this section is done and that the tunnel
will soon have it's equipment of tracks. The
work i'm the north tube is only little behind
and it is expected that in less than thirty days
1t Will also be completed.
The excavation the Manhattan end under
the city's streets has been finished, so that it
is now a question whether an injunction re-
straining the company on account of alleged
defects in its franchise will retard the work of
getting the tunnel ready for traffic.
The Belmont interests have ordered full
equipment of steel cars similar TO those in the
subway. These will not be operated on the sur
face lines in Queens controlled by Mr. Belmont
and his associates. They viii be used in the
tunnel only much as the Brooklyn Bridge ca1a
are used during the rush hours. In time the
cars on the Queens lines may be of quality
that VIII warrant their use in the tunnel. but
for the first few years passengers going and
coming will have to transfer at the tunnel ends
Tho company has not as yet decided whether
to exact an extra fare for Queens traffic diverted
from the subway. 1t Is believed that ultimately
passengers from uptown and downtown points
will be able to ride a considerable distance in
Queens without paying extra fare.
Cooperation Counsel Ellison began an action
last year in the courts alleging that the Belmont
interests did not have franchise. and that II
they ever had a franchise for the 42d street
tunnel it had lapsed because Of failure to COM
pete II 70 Long Island City by the first Of the
present year. The company says it can show
that il Il had not been interfered wtsh by the
city the tunnel would have been completed on
time
The real estate spectators in Queens are
waiting with interest for the opening of the
tunnel The Pennsylvania Railroad in three
years will be running cars through its East
River bore into Queens. The real estate men
believe that the Belmont tunnel viii give a
great impetus to business all over Queens this
spring, as It will save twenty minutes between
Long Island City and the City Hall.
The Interborough company is counting on a
largely increased business north and south and
throughout the entire city soon the tunnel
TO Long Island City is in operation. The tunnel
cars VIII use a loop under the Hotel Belmont,
affording easy access 10 traffic from the present
subway and from the Grand Central Station

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.
Government Policy Partly Outlined
Lord LOreburn's Speech.

London, March 2O.-The Earl of Denbigh, Con-
servative, made a demand in the House Of Lords
tonight for disclosure Of the ministerial pol
icy regarding Ireland. In reply the Earl or
Crewe. Lord President of the Council, said the
governments policy was not Home Rule. but an
advance in the direction Of self-government
which was not incompatible with an advance
toward Home Rule Following this explanation
the Marquis of Londonderry. Conservative, who
was formerly Viceroy Of Ireland, said that the
people Of this country had not given mandate
to grant the demands of the Irish people.
Then came a striking scene when Lord Lore
burn, the Lord High Chancellor, leaving the
woosack declared that he. like the Premier Sir
Henry Campbell -Bannerman, was a Home huler,
but he qualified this statement by saying he
meant Home Rule in parliament subordinate TO
imperial authority. "All roads" Lord Loreburn
added lead 10 Home Rule. 1t is as certain 10
come as that to-morrow's sun will rise.
Lord Lansdowne, Liberal-U Unionist, then said
he considered that the remarks OF the Lord High
Chancellor left no doubt whatever that Home
Rule was the object aimed at by the govern
ment.
Lord Lansdowne and other peers then took
part i'm what assumed the proportions of a gem
era debate.
