Abraham Lincoln. The plain people
he loved, and they loved him. There
was mutual understanding between
them. They were the ones who
brought him forward. who elected
him to Office. who stood by him in all
his trials, who held up his hands, who
swore by him when others were
swearing at him, who nominated and
elected him overwhelmingly for Sec

Lincoln and His Cabinet.

President Lincoln's patient forbear-
ance WITH Salmon P. Chase was one
of the giories of his administration.
Chase while in the cabinet made un-
complimentary remarks about his
chief, many Of which reached Lin
coins ears, and. besides. was rival
candidate for the presidency. In spite
Of all this. Lincoln would not ask him
to resign and finally made him chief
justice of the supreme court When
demonstrated with for letting Chase
remain a candidate the meekest of our
presidents told this story:
My brother and I (probably his STEP
brother Johnson) were once blowing corn,
7 driving the horse and he holding the
pillow. The horse was lazy, but on one oc-
casion rushed across the field so that I.
with my long legs. could scarcely keep
pace with him. On reaching the end
found an enormous chin fly fastened upon
him and knocked It off. Ny brother
asked me what did that for. l told
him didn't want the old horse bitten in
that way. Why" said my brother,
that's all that made him co. Now, said
Mr.. Lincoln, il Chase has presidential
chin fly biting him I am not going to
knock it off. il 1t will only make his de-
partment go.
OF course every one has heard of
Lincoln's declaration to delegation
that wanted some impossible thing
from the war department that he had
very little influence with this admin
fstration."
Then there was his soft answer to a
delegation that came declaring the hot
tempered war secretary had called him
"a id fool" Well. If Stanton
said ] am ID fool must be,

How Douglas Won the SEN

u x DHEN John j. ingalls, wrote

wv his famous ode to oppor
tunity-or did he lift it
from an Italian?-he could
have proved his main contention from
the life Of Abraham Lincoln The one
point in which the Ingalls, theory does
not coincide with the Lincoln practice
is that opportunity knocked many
times on the war presidents door and
was welcomed each time. In life, if not
in poetry, that is her manner of treat
ing us all. She visits us often-only l
doubt not she likes to come best where
welcome. l can imagine her ceasing
her visits altogether to the man who
never greets or even recognizes her
when she appears.
Yet, while it is true that opportunity
knocks often, it is also true that there
is one opportunity greater than all the
rest, one on which the whole life
hinges. This so overshadows the
lesser chances that Mr.. Ingalls-or was
it the italian ?-was justified in saying
that the opportunity which makes or
mars a career comes but once.
With Lincoln this was the Douglas
debate. All his life had been a prep
aration for that struggle. Unquestion-
ably it gave him the presidency Of the
United States. 1t was the key event
to his future career. 1t not only
brought him the Republican nomina-
ton, but made Douglas election as the
Democratic candidate impossible.

Before the contest Douglas was
known throughout the land as one of
the most effective debaters in the SEN

and statesmen in America. Lincoln
was scarcely known outside Of Illinois.

that the "Little Giant" had met his

Henry and C. ]. Smith, who are In
terested in the claims. made today
answer to the statements of the former
field engineer inspector contained in
Golfers Weekly.
"qlavis' statements in some cases are
absolutely false" said Mr.. Henry.
"He is an agitator who is being used
by some people higher up for Interior
motives of their own, to prevent the
development of the Alaska coal fields
and to prevent fair and judicial ex-
animation into the Cunningham coal
cases. to the end that the men who
have paid the government their good
money for these lands. and who are
entitled to patents shall not come into
possession of what they believe to be
their rights under the law"
"The rich character of these coal
lands" said C. j. Smith, had long
been a matter of public knowledge.
The claims were filed on under exist
ing laws, everything was done open
and above board, there was no attempt
at concealment of anything. and the
men who filed on these claims are

NEW VERSION OF "SAL0ME"
is SUNG IN GRAND OPERA
Opening Performance Of Manhattan
Opera Company Tells Strange
Story of HerodIas

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-An entirely
novel version of the story of John the
Baptist and Saiome was presented to-
night by Charles Dalmores and Mile.
Lima Cavalieri, with strong support
ing company, at the opening perform
ance of the Manhattan opera COM
pany's fourth season. The opera was
Massanet's "Herodiade," produced in
America for the first time tonight.
In this latest Massanet' importation
Salome is represented as virtuous
convert of John the Baptist, whose
love she finally wins. The opera ends
with Salome a suicide upon learning or
the execution, at Herod's jealous
command, of her prophet. The dra-
matte character of the climax is
heightened by the suggestion that
Queen Herodias, learning that Salome
is her long lost child by her early
marriage, is about to yield to the girls
entreaties and release both her and
her prophet lover.
The plot of the opera-so entirely at
variance with both history and ira
dition, proved artistically satisfactory
to a crowded house.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Belated news
of disaster at sea, In which probably
eleven lives were lost, was brought to
