A PRICED RECORD.
The Original Muster Roll Of Captain
A. Lincoln's Company.


None of the records of the treasury
department is more highly priced than
the original muster roll of captain A.
Lincoln's company" in the handwriting
of that famous man himself. 1t was
a voluntary company organized by
Lincoln in 1882 to serve in the Black
Hawk war. Lincoln as an army Off
Ger was the same painstahng, careful
and orderly man that he was later as
president He kept the muster rolls
of his company himself, and nowhere
can a neater and more complete ac-
count be found. Although more than
seventy-fve years old now, the roll is
wonderfully well preserved. The paper
is of poor quality, but the handwriting
is still legible AID distinct, not single
error having been made in the copy.
The record has been bound together
along the edges, and where 1t has been
folded constant handling has done con-
siderable damage to it.
The muster roll is in charge of the
auditor for the treasury. Quite
fright was given to that official years
ago when it was announced that the
roll had disappeared. A thorough
search failed to reveal 1t, and it was
given up for lost. Later, however, it
was found in the desk formerly occu-
pied by a clerk who had been dis
missed. The interesting document Is
headed: Muster Roll of Captain A.
Lincoln's Company Of the Fourth Regi-
ment of Mounted Volunteers, Com
manded by Brigadier General Samuel
Whitesides. Mustered out of service
of the United States at the mouth Of
Fox river May the 9th, 1892"
The roll shows that Abraham Lincoln
was the captain and that he was en-
rolled with the rest Of the command on
April 81 at Richland, Sangamon coun-
ty, Ill. At the foot is Lincoln's GER
tificate as to the correctness Of the
muster roll at the time Of muster out.
The only other handwriting on the
document is that of Nathaniel Buck
master, inspector and muster officer,
certifying to the accuracy Of the roll Of
Llncoln's company.

of activity. One of the latest man.
ifestations along this line is the hold.
ing of flower show. This was in
the form of chrysanthemum exhibit
in the propagating gardens in the
Washington monument grounds. And
it was fine exhibit, too. Gathered
together under the glass roofs of the
hothouses, the chrysanthemums pre-
scented such an amazing expanse Of
color that it seemed impossible to Sc
lect even one bloom from the whole
and take that much from the picture.
One Of the old favorites, the Lou
Dillon, which was named by Mrs.
Roosevelt, was heartily welcomed.
The Hon. w. O. Gresham was another
perfect specimen of the gardeners
art and it's big white, soft, round
mass of petals looked almost like
paper flower in the eXactness with
which each petal was placed alongside
its neighbor.
Grace Cortelyou, also named by
Mrs. Roosevelt. was debutante. An
other distinctive flower was a bril-
liant yellow bloom bearing the name
General Hutton. It's long stem is one
of its features and the flower bobbed
its head above many of its associates
in the show.
One of the largest and one of the
purest white in the whole collection
was the Beatrice May, a stately bloom,
that easily attracts attention. The
Grace Whitney was a beautiful pink
and from the dollhouse of Wells, the
famous English chrysanthemum ex-
pert, came the Charles Totty, both of
which were newcomers.

and also one of the largest flowers

Washington, November 20.-Secre-

The millers assert that the chemist
is an enemy of white flour, and also
of millers, and that he should not
be allowed to sit on the board at the
hearing to be held in Washington,

not the artificial bleaching of flour

No matter what the United States
Geological Survey may be, Director
Smith is determined it shall be free
from graft and even above suspicion.
To effect this Mr.. Smith has issued an
order prohibiting members of the sur
vey from owning stock in any mining
company, the property Of which is in
the United States or Alaska. ANY
member at present holding any stock
is requested to dispose of it as soon
as practicable.
The order was issued in accordance,
with an act of congress, which pro-
vides that members of the survey
shall have no personal interests in the
lands or mineral wealth of the region
under survey. While the prohibition
in the case of lands is not so strict
as regards owning an interest in mines
the director points out that the re.
striction should prevent employees of
the survey from purchasing any inter-
est because of the possibility of land
values being directly enhanced by the
field operations of the survey.

Recent visitors to Postmaster Cen.
eral Meyer have felt that something
was missing in his large anteroom
where his secretary and several clerks
are quartered. It was the gallery of
portraits of former postmasters gem
eral, which formerly covered the walls
The portraits have been removed
to the attic of the department build
ing, and may later be transferred to
the department museum. Years ago
Congress appropriated $40 900 for a
collection of the portraits of sue
cessive heads of the postoffice depart
ment. The portraits were made bv an
eccentric artist, who possessed the
friendship of several members of the
house, and it developed, after the deal
had been contaminated and the money
paid, that the artist had never seen
any of the men whose pictures he had
produced, and had no pictures or any
models whatsoever to guide him. The
result was the production of probably
the weirdest aggregation of faces ever
assembled together on a wall or any
where else.
Senator Spooner once, after calling
on Mr.. Cortelyou when the latter was
postmaster general, stopped in front
Of the gallery, apparently lost in won

rotary he asked:
