LINCoLN's LovEMAK1NG.


own alleged statement, was another in the list
OF women who Tilted Abraham Lincoln. Sew
eral other women have made a similar claim
with doubtful accuracy If not with positive
untruth, the temptation Of the supposed honor
of having discarded a man who afterward be
came so great having doubtless led these
claimants to magnify some attentions given
them by young Lincoln into purpose to win
them to himself Nevertheless, however apoc-
ryphal some Of these stories may be, it APP
pears that Lincoln had checkered experience
in his love affairs, and that, like many another
man, he made several attempts to get him a
wife before he succeeded. He was rather an
ungainly young man, but one who knew how to
make himself interesting and it cannot be FOR
a moment supposed that he was persistent
sutton going about counting girls only to be
rejected by many. The Philadelphia Ledger
says of him:
According to Nicolay and Hay, Herndon,
Lamon and other investigators, including Ida
Tarbell, the interviewer Of all the old women
and town loafers in illinois who had ever seen
Lincoln carry market basket or heard him
tell an anecdote only three women received
proposals from him. He was an erratic and
not overbold sutton, and no biographer is able
affairs Much is sometimes made of his early
attachment for Anne Rutledge, the daughter
of the Kentucky keeper of log tavern, at
which he boarded in New Salem, a dwindling
= Illinois town Of which for three years he was
the postmaster. She died in 1886, and many
think that this loss went to darken all his flu
ture life. For a time, at any rate, he was
plunged into deep moods of abstraction, and
he used to say, in rejecting upon this period
in his life, that he feared to trust himself
even with penknife. A friend guarded him
against himself, and he was reserved for other
misadventures Of the heart. He was heard to
remark after he became President that he
loved the very name Of Rutledge.
''Uncoln s next affair invilved another
Kentucky girl, Mary S. Owens, who was visit
ing her, sister in Illinois. A faineant in all
his loves, he seems to have desired marriage
his course He plainly wrote his Friend
Mary that, although he would abide by his
decision to marry her if she wished, it was his
honest opinion that she had better not do
it, It is not very surprising, therefore, that
this romance of 1887 came to an unfortunate
end, Miss Owens renouncing her lover, it was
said, because Of his poverty and personal awk
wardness, but as likely as not because of his
singularly undiplomatic way Of conducting the
negotiations Certainly Lincoln was not sore

CALHOUN TO Be TRIED.
Millionaire President of the United
Railways Company Must Face
the Bar of Justice.

Special to the Herald.
San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 2l.-Ihe
next in the series of boodling and
graft trials in this city will be that
of Patrick Calhoun, the millionaire
president of the United Railways COM
pany. The case is regarded by the
prosecution as second in Importance
only to that which ended recently in
the conviction of Boss Ruef. The
Indictment against Calhoun was re-
turned many months ago, but the
trial has been repeatedly postponed.
1t was originally set to begin last De-
cember, but was postponed because
of the disappearance of former Super
visor James L. Gallagher. Gallagher
was the self-confessed .'gobetween
between Ruef and the boodling super
yisors and his testimony was regard
ed by the prosecution as one of the
strongest links in the case against
the public service corporations.
Patrick Calhoun, whose trial is
about to begin, has been prominently
before the people of the United States
as a financier for a number of years.
He came to San Francisco several
years ago and in January, 1906, was
elected president of the United Rail-
ways. His first field of operations
was Atlanta, Ga, where he was vice
president and general counsel of the
old Richmond and Danville railroad.
He was afterward identified with a
syndicate which leased the Central of
Georgia railroad to the old Georgia
and Pacific road This deal was
made in 1891 and the Central of Geor-
gia passed into the hands of re-
ceiver the next year. Calhoun then
became identified with the st. Louis
street car system. He was afterward
interested. in the oil fields at Corsi-
cana, Texas, and later in the real es-
tate business in Cleveland, Ohio. He
successfully engineered one of the big
geSt cotton deals in New York, hold
ing from 100000 to 100000 bales of
cotton. 1t was also reported that he
was connected with the Pittsburs
street railways.
