was, he assisted Mrs. Lincoln to follow,
and Miss Harris tenderly ministered to
the distracted woman. Thru the open
door they could see a bedroom at the
end of the lighted hall, and into this
the President was carried. The Sur
geon gave Mr.. Lincoln small glass of
brandy and water. which the President
swallowed without much difficulty, but
another dose being rejected showed the
rapid advance of death. Mustard plas-
ters were applied over the whole sur
face of the body, from neck to ankles,
in the faint hope of restoring vitality.

Attempted Assassination of Seward.

Booth had planned to have the other
crimes executed by his accompliceS
simultaneous with his own. Apparent
Iy 20 minutes past 10 o'clock was the
hour agreed upon.
A few days before Secretary Seward
had been thrown from his carriage
with such violence as to break his arm
and fracture his jaw. The surgeon had
put about his head a steel cage to hold
the broken jaw in place until the bones
could reknit. About 10 p. m. Lewis
Payne, whose real name was Lewis
Payne Powell, rang the bell of the
Seward house, which was situated on
the east side of Lafayette Square with
in Il few yards of the White House. 1t
was near where Gen. Sickles had shot
Philip Barton Key, and was the house
occupied by James G. Blaine for some
years before his death. When the
door of the Seward mansion was opened
by the coiored man Payne stepped in
side, holding a little package in his
hand, which he said was some medicine
sent by DR.. Verdi, the Secretary's ply
sician, and which he had been directed
to deliver in person in order to give
directions as to how it was to be taken
The doorkeeper at first refused to al
low him to go upstairs, but Payne pro-
tested so vigorously against this that
he was finally allowed to pass in. At
the top of the stairs he met Mr.. Fred
erick Seward, to whom he told the
same story, but Mr.. Seward refused to
let him pass. Payne then started as il
to go down the stairs, but turned sud-
denly and struck Mr.. Seward, knocking
him down. Serg't George f. Robinson,

The charm of woman lies not in beau

Trilby says, the altogether''-her car
riage, her manner her voice, her eX-
preston; in short, herself-that makes
or unmakeS her charm.
1t is the woman, then, who has the
courage to be herself who attracts.
Originals are much more desirable
than copies, no matter how accurate
the copy may be. If IL be natural to
wear ones hair in careless fashion, by
all means do SO; nature is never mis-
taken.

that nameless something called manner

SECRETARY OF NAVY REPDFT.
Continued from page one.)

at the Brooklyn navy yard is urged,
and furthermore the secretary says
that cit is clear that one dock on the
Atlantic cost for docking our larg-
est battleships, is not sufficient since
that one might be injured" In this
connection, he points out that pro-
visions for docking of heavy vessels
injured or damaged in action or by
stranding are almost entirely lacking,
and that but few navy yards exist on
either coast which have sufficient
water to dock an injured %battleship
drawing A or 5 feet than it's
ordinary draft.
Ship construction at the navy
yards of the United States is OPP
posed as a principle by the secre-
tary. Only occasionally, as a check
on costs of particular types, does he
believe that the United States should
build a ship. Shipbuilding concerns
should be encouraged, in his opinion,
so that the government can profit by
their experience and resources, and
also because ordinarily the work is
done more economically by them
than at navy yards.
Furthermore, Secretary Meyer is
opposed to congress restricting the
construction by one shipbuilding
company to one battleship, or to re-
curing one b~attleship to be con-
structed at a navy yard, or on n
coast or the other.
Estimates for the coming fiscal
veal were included in the report.
They are $10,011,0O0 less than the
total amount appropriated for the
present fiscal year.
The senior officers of the navy are
too old, according to the secretary.
He in his report hat he
soon will send to the president some
recommendation as to new legisla-
ton for remedying this defect. The
senior officers of u navy are too
old for the responsibilities and ardu-
Gus duty required in the modern bat
tleship," says the secretary.

Ed Hoffman, an engineer on one

shovel pit, had a close call early
yesterday morning. He stepped
from his engine in the dark, and
made the longest single step on rec
ord, making nine feet down al en-
bankment. Mr.. Hoffman says that
he made it in a single step, but the
fireman declares that he rolled some,
too. At any rate it was a case for
DR.. Lew Wallace, who vas playing
chess with Ben Hur at the time of the
accident, and Immediately repaired
to the scene. The engineer escaped
with only a sprained elbow, and the
doctor says that he could not do it
again if he tried. Engineer Hoffman
says that he won't try.

least interesting feature of which is
the story of Maud Miller and the

the sad, sweet poem is illustrated by
very pretty scenes of the days of long
ago in this country. The words of
the poet: "Of all sad words of
tongue or pen, the saddest are these:
it might have been," are very ap-
plicable at the present day to Ely
