r. T. LINCOLN is OVERCOME.
Heat and Emotion at dwelling Of
Statue to Father Unnerves Him.

Louisville, KY, June 2. - Robert T.
Lincoln, son of President Lincoln. was
slightly overcome by the heat yesterday
near the close of the ceremonies of I'M
yelling his fathers statue in the
em~ancipator's native county seat of
Hodgenville. MI. Lincoln is s~ixty-nine
years old, and the fierce ray of the
sun beating down upon the canvas
over his head, the emotion incident to
the memorials and the fatigue of his
journey almost unnerved him.
He leaned heavily upon the arm Of
Henry Watterson, who spoke at the
exercises and who escorted hin to his
car. After he had spent several hours
in his private car Mr.. Lincoln was
completely restored.
His chief regret seemed to be that
his illness had prevented him from TAX
ing the three-mile ride from Hodgen-
vile to see the cabin wherein his father
was born.
