LINCOLN TRIED IT.
And That Ended tho Naval S~sathex
Punishment.

And That Ended tho Naval S~oatoox
Punishment.
On one Of Mr.. Lincoin's excursions
to Fortress Monroe on the steamer
Hartford in 1868 his attention was di-
rected to a narrow door bound with
iron. the use OF which he was anxious
TO learn.
What is this:'' he asked.
"Oh. that is the sweatbox." was the
reply. lit is used for refractory and
insubordinate seamen. A man in there
is subjected to steam heat and has very
little ventilation. 1t generally brings
him to terms very quickly"
President Lincoln's curiosity was
aroused. This" he said to himself.
us treatment to which thousands Of
American seamen are probably sub
jected every year. Let me try 1t for
myself aud see what 1t really Is"
Taking on his hat. for he was sever
al inches over six feet in height. he en-
tered the Enclosure. which he found to
be little more than three feet in length
or width. He gave orders that at
signal from himself the door should
be Immediately opened. 1t was then
closed and the steam turned on.
He had been inside hardly three min
utes before the signal was given. Pres
ident Lincoln had experienced enough
of what was then regarded as neces-
sary punishment for American seamen.
There was very little ventilation and
the short exposure to the hot and hu-
mid air had almost suffocated him.
Turning to Secretary Welles Of the
navy department.. the president ordered
that no such Enclosure as the sweatbox
should ever after be allowed on any
vessel flying the American dag.
1t was not an hour after this order
had been given before every sailor on
every ship in Hampton Roads had
heard Of 1t. The effect was most re-
markable on the older sailors. many
of whom had themselves experienced
the punishment Of the sweatbox. Some
Of them wept from joy.
But the good results Of this act of
President Lincoln were not confined to
the American navy. Great Britain.
France. Germany and other European
countries heard that the sweatbox had
been abolished in America as tnhuman.
One and oil Of these nations in turn fell
into line. and today the sweatbox is
not to be found on any vessel flying
the flag o IA civilized nation through
out the world.

A THREATENING FIRE
Departments Fight Blaze at
Gas Plant of l., II. &P.
Company.
WAS VERY SMOKY AFFAIR

The fire departments were called to
the gas plant of the Light, Heat and
Power company yesterday about noon
to extinguish small blaze in the
roof, believed to have originated by
the contact OF an exhaust pipe with
the dry wood. In some peculiar man.
ner the fire got between the roof and
the ceiling. and was exceedingly hard
to fight. Great volumes of smoke
rolled out of the burning building, Civ
ing the appearance of a bad blaze.
Several ventilators were partially de-
stroyed and the damage probably
amounted to $2o. The great danger
of fire in the plant was the fear of an
explosion from gas and the large guam
titles of oil contained in the building.

An lntelliQsnt Cow.

A few nights ago a citizen went
home and found a COW In his yard
He drove her out. He then went into
the house and later heard the animal
in the yard again. He drove her out
the second and third times. The citi-
xen's son came home later and found
the animal in the yard and drove her
out. The citizen then made an inves-
tigation and found the COW got in by
wading around the fence on the river
side. He hung up a lantern to deceive
the COW al she came in. and the next
morning, so he says. he found the COW
In the yard with the lantern hung on
her horns. using the same to hunt out
the best grapefruit in his grove. Say

telligent COW. And the story II true

HE DENIES HE IS DEAD
(American News Service>

Rome, Nov. S.-Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt today received a dispatch
from her husband, the former presi-

basis for the rumors of an accident to
him and saying that he is WELL The
cable was sent from Nairobi. British
East Africa
This dispatch from the former pres

of the reports, had made arrange
ments to hasten to Africa should she
learn that her husband was ill.

County Health Officer Closes
Schools at Whitewater
As a Result.
LONG STANDING EPIDEMIC
FOR THE PAST TWO AND A HALF
YEARS THE DISEASE HAS IN
TERMITTENTLY APPEARED IN
THE LITTLE COMMUNITY.

Diphtheria which has been holding
sway intermittently at Whitewater for
the past two and half years, has again
broken out in family by the name of
Hunt, living near Whitewater, and DR..
]. e. King. county health officer. has
ordered that the schools be closed I'M
til Wednesday, in order to avert any
further infection. -
Why the disease can not be stamp
ed out and why 1t remains in that par
ticular neighborhood is mystifing the
health officer and Whitewater physi-
SLAMS. All their efforts to drive it out
have proven unavailing.
In Very Mild Form.
The disease appears in a very mild
form and none of the sufferers SO far
have had the disease in critical
form. The authorities fear, however,
that unless the source of the disease
can be found and destroyed that in
time the epidemic will become serious
and deaths will undoubtedly result.
When diphtheria first made its ap-
pearance in Whitewater. two years
ago last June, it was thought that
the person affected had become in
fected while on visit to relatives in
Darke county, Ohio. Cases have &C.
CURED SO regularly since then, how
ever, that the authorities are now in
clined to doubt this and believe the
disease is probably due to some local
condition.

CORONER WORKING
ON MURDER CASE
Today the Story Told by the
Foreigners Hung To-
gether Well,
NEW VERSION NOW GIVEN
TALE is TOLD OF HOW REDIC
GRAPPLEO WITH CRACkLIC
AND HOW HE WREsTED A RE.
VOlVER AWAY FROM HIM,

Coroner A. l.. Bramkamp was busy
all day today taking the testimony of
witnesses to the double murder in the
Austrian camp west of Centerville,
early Saturday morning. The for
eigners apparently got together on
their story of the crime over Sunday
for their versions coincide now in
practically every respect
The general trend of the story is to
the effect that Sam Cracklic and Stiff
Borat, the two murdered men, and
two unknown companions. came to
the camp about 1 O'Clock Saturday
morning, and after asking for some
thing to eat. started trouble and a
general rough house All Of the wit
nesses declare that Cracklic tried N
rob Rodi Redic at the point of a gun.
Redic then grapr.'ed with Cracklic, it
is said. and took the revolver away
from MIN, firing two bullets through
Cracklic's breast. A handy beer keg
and ak was seized by Redic and used
with telling effect on Cracklics head.
He Called for Help.

help and shouted that he was being
robbed. Several of the occupants of
the house were asleep at the time. but
were soon awakened from their slum-
bers by the mixup of the two men, 1t
is alleged all took hand in the con.
flict, but according to the testimony of
practically all of the witnesses. Joe
Dulic, the proprietor of the boarding
house. who is being held for the crime,
is freed from all blame, and did not
strike the blows that are alleged to
have resulted in the death of the two
hold-up men.
Rodi Redic and Joe Chupuvic are
the men who struck the death blows.
according to the witnesses. Redic
has been arrested and is now in GUS
tody. Chupuvic will probably be ar
rested this evening it is said. The
foreigners have at last been made to
understand that nothing will be done
to them if they acted in self defense
and the authorities believe that they
are now getting the truth Of the af.
fair. Dulic will probably be released,
it is said. His wife has not been ar
rested. The testimony of all of the
witnesses will require several days, 1t
is said, and Coroner Bramkamp will
not file his verdict until a thorough
investigation has been made.
A Lawyers Advice.
1t is said that Walter D. Cook, a
lawyer at Centerville advised the for
eigners shortly after the murder, not
to talk and for that reason no logical
statement could be obtained from
them before today when, by much
reasoning, they were made to under
stand the object of the rigid examin-
alton. The grand jury will be called
next Monday and will make a COM
plete investigation of the matter.
What to do with the dead bodies of
the two murdered men is a question.
There are no relatives to claim them.
1t is said the trustees of the cemetery
at Centerville refuse to allow them to
be buried in the cemetery in that
place and Richmond certainly does
not want to bear the expense. and is
