Lincoln Elected President
In 1860 the new Republican party
triumphed in the elections and Abra-
ham Lincoln was elected president Of
the United States. In the election of
1850 more than in any other of our
history was illustrated the disparity
between popular and electoral votes.
Lincoln received 1sS66,352 votes, car
ried II of the 80 states and part Of
New Jersey, making $50 votes in the
electoral colleges. Douglas. the north
ern Democratic candidate, received
1,345,157 votes, butshe carried only one
state and a part of New Jersey, mali
ing but u electoral votes John c..
Breckenridge, the southern Democrat.
received only 847,514 votes, yet he car
ried II states and had Y electoral
votes John Bell, the constitutional
candidate and the last representative OF
the old line Wings, received, 5S7,s3O
votes, carried three states and got a.
electoral votes Lincoln lacked nearly
million votes Of having a popular
majority and therefore was called a
minority" president. The Republican
triumph Of 1860 was due therefore
not to the strength of the new party
but to the sectionalism which at last
had disrupted the old Democratic
party.
After Lincoln was elected secession
began After he was inaugurated the
war began Just before he was nur-
dered the war ended, the union was
saved, the slaves Were free, and the

who had given him the package at
Lucerne. A little older, grayer. more
bent, but the same man without a
doubt
Mr.. Parfitt? 1 am Olives father 1
am very pleased to meet you Shall we
sit DOWN.
Mr.. Merridew looked Leonard keenly,
squarely in the face without the faint
est light of recognition in his eyes.
Leonard's beard had effectually dis
guised him.
Perhaps you ought to know some
thing about me, before you proceed
any further. 1 don't know if it will
have any bearing on what you are
going to tell me. but it might. You
and 1 have met before
Have we? Where was it?"
''On a seat in the Quai National at
Lucerne. 1 was the young man to
whom you gave that package"
You? Let me look at youl Yes,
do see the likeness now. Good heav-
ems, how wonderful"
1t was not the expression of a man
who had anything to fear from the dis
covery.
Il fulfilled your commission. Mr.. Mer-
ridew, to the letter. If you read the
papers at all, you would see what fol-
lowed.
MY boy I was about to tell you
everything before 1 knew that you
were the man. And there's a double
necessity now for your knowing the
whole truth. Have you any idea how
you served Olive by taking back that
package to Johnson's?"
Not the slightest, OF course, I
knew that the necklace was stolen"
''It was not 'stolen-not wilfully
stolen. Some years back Olive devel-
oped kleptomania. There that's the
secret of the mystery. and I tell you
it now all the more gladly because
Olive has been absolutely cured. At
the first the mania showed itself in
petty thefts, and I was able to restore
the things quietly or recompense the
owners. Then came the theft of that
diamond necklace at Johnsons. I found
it in her room at our hotel in Lucerne
some weeks after the robbery; from
the description that had appeared in
the papers 1 recognized it at once
Can you wonder that l wanted to
return it secretly to its owner, and
adopted the means that you know?
Here was Olive at the very start of
what promised to be a fine career as a

known, her whole career would have
been blighted. 1t was because 1 cared
for her and her future so much that
acted as I did. / was resolved that
my name-our name-should not ap-
pear. 1 was wrapped up in my girl,
and thought little, I'm afraid, of the
man to whom I gave the necklace to
take back. If it is any consolation to
you now, you were serving the girl
l am going TO give you as a wife"
Consolation. Mr.. Merridew? Why.
that's the act of my life 1 am proudest
and happiest to have committed,"
Il thought you would feel like that
now. Shall we go and find Olive? Re-
member, not a word TO her now or ever
of all 1 have told you. The world has
forgotten the theft at Johnson's, we
Will forget it too"

AN ORPHAN CITY LONG ENOUGH.

From Silver City IN. NJ Enterprise.
Some Jealous patriot in the consti-
tutional convention has declared that
Texas has encroached on our eastern
boundary line and owes US some one
hundred square miles of territory. He
proposed giving Texas this strip Of
land if Texas will cede US FL Paso. Ell
Paso should fall right in line and
boost, as 1t has been an orphan city
long enough, and should now appre-
ciate the comforts OF a good home
among whole-souled New Mexicans.
It is said when the proposition to
annex Ell Paso. with its 5000 Demo-
cratic votes. to New Mexico was an
nOunced in the constitutional conven-
ton, Hon. T. r. Catron and other stall
warts had fainting spells and had to
be revived with smelling salts.

From Pecos Valley IN. NJ News.
The News believes in getting all we
can for nothing, but while we are at

after FL Paso. which is undoubtedly

kind will start a war, and if we must

BEN LOMOND, May 10.-With Mrs.
Jeffries applauding Jeffries roughed it
for six rounds with Joe Choynski and
Bob Armstrong in his gymnasium
today With his eye still blackened
from the rap which he received Mon
day he seemed anxious to give good
account of himself, and his two spar
ring partners seemed glad when the
bout was over. He was faster than at
any time since beginning training, and
after three miles of short sprints on
his road course announced that he has
taken off about rs pounds since be-
ginning training, now tipping the
scales at 225. Nothing was done dur
ing the early hours of the afternoon,
but shortly before evening the fighter
indulged in a little fast baseball prac-
tice.
Jeffries' workout in the morning was
decidedly reassuring after his lumber
ing exhibition yesterday afternoon. He
romped through the two clouting
matches as if he enjoyed it and in one
of the mixups playfully set Armstrong
on his back as if he were small boy.
Today's experiment will be repeated
in the road workouts for the next three
weeks, splitting up the distance into
100-yard sprints, instead of the usual
tenmile drill.

.DONAU 'ROMPS HOME
IN KENTUCKY DERBY
Does the Expected and Steps the
Distance in Remarkably
Fast Time

LOUISVILLE, y, May 10.-Leading
throughout the mile and a quarter, but
compelled to fight for his vantage over
every inch OF the route Donau, the
bay colt owned by William Gerst of
Nashville, today won the thirty-sixth
Kentucky derby. Only three-quarters
of a length separated the winner from
Joe Morris. who was neck in front of
Fighting Bob. The time, 2:06 2-5, was
only one-fifth of a second slower than
the record for the race.
Donau carried the public money, and
$4,000 people acclaimed the winner.
The derby was a gruelling contest
from start to finish There was little
delay at the post and the horses got
away to fair start. except Fighting
Bob, who was shouldered to the out
side. Joe Morris nose showed in front
for stride or two. after which Donau
took the lead, and Herbert, who had
the mount, set killing pace Passing
the stand, Donau was leading by a
length with Joe Morris and John Fur
long holding on well. Boola Boola
pocketed and Tapped by Fighting Bob
who was still forced to take the out
side.
At the half-mile post Donau led by
three lengths, with Joe Morris q head
in front of Fighting Bob. Here Joe
Morris and Fighting Bob began clos
ing up the gap. At the three-quarters
pole Joe Morris was only a fourth of
a length behind Donau, and as they
got well Strengthened out in the
stretch made his effort in a fashion
that woke bedlam In the stands He
managed to get on even terms with
the leader for a stride or two, with
Fighting Bobs head laid along his own
flank, and all three running without
a falter. Donau, however. had just a
trifle in reserve and, fiercely ridden by
Herbert slowly pushed his nose out in
front.
Two track records were equaled to-
day, that for four furlongs in the sec
ond race, and the mark for five and a
half furlongs in the third race. Sum-
mary:
