pcIIApS not more tQan
dOzen-it is news that
Abraham Lincoln was hit
by a bullet fired by a
Johnny Reb" in battle. The histor-
les do not record it, nor the biograph-
les. Those who saw the occurrence
thought little of it at the time, SO
pressing was the work they had in
hand, and the president is not known
ever to have mentioned the incident.
Concerned only with the welfare of
a sundered nation and it's suffering
millions, and least of all with self, it
is probable that no thought of the
experience required to him at any
time in the period of stress and anx-
iety and important occupation that
followed another bullet, less honest,
that took away his life.

the conditions and circumstances of
the then impending attack upon the

That boast appeared in the same
issue of the newspaper that printed
President Lincolns call for troops
and intensified the fears for the Sc.
curity Of the capital already great
because OF the probable secession OF
Virginia and the doubt as to the po
sition of Maryland.
President Lincoln realized how
much depended on his holding Wash
ington. The loss of the capital doubt
less would result in European recog
milton of the confederacy; the spirit
of the North would be broken, despair

Abraham Lincoln
BORN 180e-DIED 1865.

So he bent his first efforts to de-
Tending the seat of government from
those who would set up there a new
| nation not conceived in liberty.
His deep anxiety in those days be-
fore the troops arrived and when
Beauregard's army was said to be ap-
preaching, will be recalled by all who
have read the story Of the war; A.
ter the arrival of the Seventh New
York regiment of 'dandies," who
dined at Delmonico's before departing
and the Massachusetts and Rhode
Island regiments of farmers, mechan-
les and tradespeople, the capital was
in no danger until the attack of Gen
Early, when the incident of Col.
Roome's story. occurred.
When the Notifications were thrown
up around the capital Lincoln knew Of
every detail of the work, consulted
with the men in charge informed and
advised them. 1t was, therefore, no
occasion of comment when he left
the White House on this July IL and
walked among the soldiers. They
stood, ready for action, behind the
walls while from the plain below came
the sound of conflict
Gen, Early's own story of his move
ment upon Washington shows the
situation in the confederate ranks on
that day He had approached Wash,
ington from the north. Having heard
that the outer works were feebly
manned, he meant to take them by
surprise, but before his first divis.
ion could be brought up, he says, he
saw cloud of dust in the rear of tho
works and soon column of men
in blue filed into them on the right
and left. Then skirmishers were
thrown out in front, while an artil.
lery fire was opened on the confede,
| ates from number Of batteries.
"Our skirmishers were all thrown
to the 'front.'" wrote Gen. Early, "driv,
| ing those of the enemy to the cover
of their works, and we proceeded to
examine the Notifications in order to
ascertain if it was practicable to car.
ry them by assault. They were found
TO be exceedingly strong and consisted

ened by palisades and abattis. The
timber had been felled within cannon
range all around and left on the
ground, making formidable obstacle
and every possible approach was
raked with artillery"
Thus it would seem that President
Lincoln incurred little danger on the
day when he went about within the
fortificatiop walls. But that he was
in some danger is shown by Col
Roome's story.

SPORTS
AT THE RINGS SIDE.
BY Knox Blockoff.

New York, Dec. 17.-With the
worlds heavyweight championship
battle between Tommy Burns and
Jack Johnson now only nine days in
the future, the fight fans of New
York are beginning to sit up and take
notice of the affair. Although the
bout will be staged in far-away Aus
tralia-a locality about as indefinite
as the moon to the average Broadway
sport-the distance has only served
to add enchantment to the battle. AL
ready several wages on the result
have been made, with the big moke
as a favorite.
Johnson has been telling things
about himself to the reporters for the
Australian newspapers-yes, Bo. they
have newspapers in Australia. and
good ones. too-and in everything he
says there is an assurance of certain
victory that amounts almost to con-
tempt for his doughty antagonist, if
you want to call Burns that. Among
other things, Jack announced that he
could whip Marvin Hart any time
easier than any man he ever met,
and contended that the decision
against himself when he met Hart
was most unfair; and he was willing
to submit that question to any Am
tl SpOl llUS NIlltl. IHdl
was a disgrace to the ring.
Johnson said he had been prerar-
ed to fight Burns under any condi-
tions, and had chased Burns out of
London, Paris and America; and hop
ed that he would not chase him out
of Australia. He did not think he
would, but that it would be a good
fight and show who was the better
man.
The reporter remarked that Burns
said he would settle in Australia af-
ter his fight with johnson.
The latter's manager remarked:
Tommy is great leg-puller. He
said something similar in Ireland
England and France and now pro-
posed Australia. the greatest country
on earth"
johnson also expressed a hope that
he would meet Bill Squires-whom
he considered good man and true
sport
Among the metropolitan sporting
authorities there is wide difference
of opinion in regard to the coming
battle of the heavyweights. Bob
Edgren thinks the match is on the
square and that Burns will put it
over the moke.

Colorado Athletics are Clean.

J. l.. Gartland.- - manager of the

a letter to the sporting editor of the
Denver News replies in stingine
words to a story in the Colorado
Springs Gazette of Saturday. head ed
Richards places facts concerning the
ID. U. team before college authori-
ties
Garland states that he has re-
Trained from engaging in any con
troversy over the right of members
of any of the teams to play. but has
allowed the results of the games to
stand for themselves, because he
never has been mentioned personally
until the appearance of the Colorado
Springs story. He states that his
connection with ID. U. has been pure
ly because of his interest in the game.
and not for any financial considera-
ton.
The ID. U. manager goes on to say
that he believes that college athletes
are as clean in Colorado as anywhere
in the country, and that the univers-
ity champions are as clean a team as
ever won an honor. After stating
that he refused to enter into any con-
troversy with the state university,
Garland says that he declines to be
n party to a general muck raking"
in college athletic affairs in the state.
