In the Sunday edition of the Kansas
City Star an article was published on
Mrs. John j. Ingalls-Her Recollec-
tions of the White House." The fol- |
lowing, which is copied from that ar
ticle, is interesting in itself, and par
ticularly so to those who know Mrs. |
Ingalls,:
when President Lincoln was elected 1
to second term, a party of Kansans
determined to attend the inaugural cell .
ebration. AS the guest of Governor |
S. ]. Crawford (Kansas' war governor) |
Mrs. ingalls, (then Miss Chesebrough)
went to Washington for the inaugural !
festivities. The Inaugural ball was even
then the big event of the celebration. |
Tickets sold for $25 each. Mrs. Ingalls, /
described the incident:
''Of course 1 was very happy to have |
Governor Crawford as my escort. I |
had been looking forward to the ball |
as the greatest event of my life. As
has been the case so many times, it |
harder in washington than it did that |
night. We went to the ball just the |
same and enjoyed it immensely. 1t was
held in the old pension building. l have
often thought since that we little |
dreamed that night of what an i'm
portant age we were living in and what
master minds and great leaders of |
men we were meeting. Not everyone
thought then that Mr.. Lincoln would |
come to be regarded as one of the ma
TONS giants. At least know that the
most important thing to me was the
question whether Governor Crawford |
and 1 would find room to dance on the
floor Of the ballroom in the old pension |
building"
Topeka people who have gone abroad
this summer in touring parties, for the |
n st part, have made their arrange
ments with reference to the procuring |
of tickets for the great play given once
in a decade at Oberammergau. But
the travellers are sending back word
that when they were at home they |
were in a better place" The trouble
