LINCOLN ESCAPED A
DEADLY BOMB
WOMAN TELLS OF ALLEGED At
TEMPT UPON LIFE OF THE
WAR PRESIDENT.

Springfield, Ohio, Feb. S.--That an
attempt was made upon President
Lincolns life in Baltimore as he was
on his way to Washington to take
office, Is told by Mrs. Coggeshall,
widow of the Springfield man who
saved the president from death.
All these years the story has re-
manned a secret with Mrs. Coggeshall,
to whom 1t was told by her husband
in secrecy. 1t comes to light now
merely because Mrs. Coggeshall be-
lieves its telling can do no harm, and
that it may be an interesting addition
to the Lincoln literature of the month.
a story is that a bomb was hurled
into the coach occupied by Lincoln as
it was standing at the station in Bal
timore, and that her husbtnd first
showed Lincoln through the door of
the car and then hurled the bomb
through Il window of the coach away
from the crowd.
Coggeshall was one of the war
presidents close friends, who accom-
panied him from Columbus, Ohio, to
Washington. He was later sent by
Lincoln as minister to Ecuador, where
he died of yellow fever.
Mrs Coggeshall says:
"A change Of cars had to be made
in Baltimore. The special car dashed
into the depot and preparations for an
immediate change for the Washington
car was made. Mr.. Lincoln and my
husband were the last to leave the
coach. Mr.. Lincoln, who was leading,
turned just as we reached the door
and saw a Kissing boom in the seat he
was passing. Mr.. Coggeshall turned
and saw what menaced them.
He gave Lincoln a shove that sent
Lincoln on the platform, grabbed the
bomb and hurled it out of the window
opposite to where the crowd was
gathered, and then hurried to the
waiting train When they had become
composed. Lincoln exclaimed: Cog
geshall, did ! not tell you that If you
came with me / should come safely?
God knows best
For moment my husband could
not talk. Then he said: Mr.. Presi-
dent let this pass no further. Let us
not give it to the world to be criti-
cised'
Who put the bomb in the car has
never been learned"

TWO PERSONS SUSPECTED OF
COMPLETELY IN BIG STEAL
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
WOMAN IS IN THE TOLLS
Aged Father Of Accused Locomotive
Engineer and His Former House
Servant Are Taken by Officers i,
Effort to Secure Additional inforn,a.

Butte, Feb. S.--A Miner special from
Livingston says:
Two additional arrests were made
today in connection with the thefts
which We're unearthed in this city
last Saturday. a. NJ. Robinson, the
aged father of d. \. Robinson, the To-
comotive engineer who was one of the
first to be held, was arrested this aft
ernoon and placed in the county jail.
A few hours later Amelia Sandilage
former servant for Robinson, was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Van Fleet
and lodged in cell at the county Jail
This last arrest is believed to be the
most important. for 1t is certain, ac-
cording to the officers. that she is
very familiar with all the details of
the boxCar thefts, and II is now
stated that she has signified her will
ingness to tell the entire story OF the
thieving.
f1cers have the story of the stealing
complete from other sources, and that
Miss Sandilage's arrest was due to
information secured two or three days
ego.
1t was divulged by the officers this
evening that the original information
of the operations of the gang was
impaired to Sheriff McCue by the wife
of d. a. Robinson, an engineer on the
Northern Pacific, who is now under
arrest. The Robinsons had parted
two years ago, but last July became
reconciled, only to have further diff
culties and to again separate. This
last separation was followed by Mrs.
Robinson's visit to the sheriff and the
arrest of 15 persons in connection with
the robberies.
Two prisoners have made sworn
confessions, according to the officers,
and more arrests are expected, to-
gether with the recovery of additional
loot. Five of the prisoners were ar
raigned today and charged with
grand larceny. Another batch will be
brought into court tomorrow.

nomination Of DR.. w. d. Crum, negro
collector of customs at Charleston, S,
e., the senate in executive session dis
cussed the Japanese question. Incl
dentally the discussion turned upon the
reference to Senator Perkins by Pres
ident Roosevelt in a telegram to Gov
ernor Gillett of California, in which he
said that the senior California sena-
tor had hampered the administration
in it's efforts to build up the navy, yet
now advises a policy of wanton in
suit"
Senator Tillman, colleague of Sena-
tor Perkins on the naval affairs COM
mittee, referred to the statement, and
indignation was shown by other sena-
tors because of the attack upon Mr..
Perkins.
Cannot Understand.
Both California senators took part
in the discussion. Senator Perkins
declared he had not been asked by the
president to participate in the con-
ferences concerning the Japanese sit
uation in California. He said he could
not understand why the president
should intimate that he had tried to
stir up the sentiment in California in
opposition to the efforts of the presi-
dent. He stated what his position had
been on the subject of big navy, de-
claring that he had always been in
favor Of a steady growth of the navy,
even though he was against the presi-
dents four battleship program last
session.
Senator Flint declared he had not
participated in the conference at the
White House until he was asked to
serve as the intermediary between the
administration and the California
legislature He made it clear that he
did not approve of the criticism of his
colleague.

TISSUE PAPER.

We cannot overestimate the value
of tissue paper if we are of the trav-
cling public. While it is delightfully."-
careful and neat to own a vast array
of shoe bags, one to the pair, and
bags and sipcovers galore for para
soils, hair brushes and each thing we
want to separate from every other,
the fact remains that they take up
a far too generous proportion of our
trunk space.
Tissue paper, which is very good
substitute, takes up none OF the valu-
able room and is in no way open to
criticism. 1t is clean, white and dain-
ty; quantities of it are available at
any time, and there is no better ma
terial for filling sleeves and tucked
Or pulled portions of all handsomely
made gowns to keep them from
crushing. Tissue paper should be
crumpled and poked into ribbon or
lace hat bows and among hat flowers,
and should surround the hat itself to
keep it from f1attening against the
sides of the box or trunk lid.
Every pair of dainty gloves and
all neckwear should be separately
wrapped. Layers of it to separate
the varied contents of the trunk will
make the terrible business of unpack-
ing less difficult.
Travellers who have packed with
tissue paper have been quite won
over to it's use.-New Haven Reg

HOLDING UP TRAFFIC.

There should be school to teach
women how to thrust out their hands
from motor cars to hold up traffic.
Since this English fashion of stop
ping vehicles behind in crowded thor
oughfares has been adopted here it
is one of the usual sights in string
of motors or carriages, to see wo-
mans hand go out suddenly, and as
tnfiexibly as that of a police officer
when he holds up line of traffic.
He, however, does it as one to the
manner born, but the woman who can
put her hand up in the same fashion
and not have it look either wooden
OR silly is the exception. One dear
little old white-haired lady whose big
touring car on the avenue was in line
thrust out a tiny hand with the fin
gers just as wide apart as she could
spread them. 1t was grotesquely
funny to see everything in the street
back of her car come to a standstill
because of those five little stiff fin
gers. Other women at such times
let their hands flop Imply, while still
others regularly saw the air. Some
of these might practice at home be-
fore Il mirror way of holding up
traffic that would be at once effica-
ciOus and dignified, as well as grace
full. The combination is rare at pres
ent.-PittSburg Dispatch.

Reminded Him of Home.

A New Yorker, whose boyhood had
been spent within a stones throw of
Beacon Hill and that mighty edifice
in which the Commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts is yearly saved, was recent
ly summoned to admire his wife's
new hat. Round and steep and bril-
liantly yellow it was - the very
latest" cabriolet. The man looked at
it long and thoughtfully, and then
THAT takes me back" he breathed.
What do you mean?" inquired
his puzzled wife, who had been pre-
pared for sarcasms, but not signs.
Why, the hats the living image Of
the dome of the Boston State House
if you'd only had it just a little
bigger!"
And as he made his escape she
heard him humming, How dear to
my heart are the scenes Of my child
hoodt'-New York Press.
