LINCOLN WIFE
CONTINUED from Page Seventeen

The next morning was dull and
rainy and Mrs. Lincoln did not go out
In the afternoon she took drive and
looked on for a few minutes at a
cricket match. In the evening there
was dancing in the bathrooms of the
principal hotels.
The cloud of war did not seem to
cast heavy shadow over Long
Branch that day.
The parlors of both the mansion
and the National were thronged with
a crush of dancers and the porticoes
outside were filled with attentive
spectators" wrote the assiduous cor
respondent. THE hop went
On with all the eclat which finely
dressed ladies, fresh importation of
dancing gentlemen and a general dis
POSITION to make the most of the time
could give"
However, MRS. Lincoln did not ap-
pear in either hotel, but remained in
her ROOM" Robert Lincoln and his
friends were ION hand and figured ex-
tonsively."
For the next few days Mrs. Lincoln
was allowed to pursue her own ways
Without notice from the press. Tad"
had developed heavy cold and this
gave her concern. The correspond
ents consoled themselves thus Mrs.
Lincoln came here 10 rest and enjoy
herself and we testify our regard for
her most when we cordially permit
her to carry out her intentions in hel

On the 21st the papers stated that
Tad" was recovering from his illness
and that the next day Mrs. Lincoln,
as the guest of Ex-Governor Newell OF
New Jersey, would inspect the. life
saving stations along the beach. This
was done on the afternoon of the 22d.
"Dodworth's band afterward serenad-
ed Mrs. Lincoln and her party and bal

Reception at Mansion House.
The dance at the Mansion House
assumed the proportions of a ball.

short time in the ballroom. Her party

RaChideIuS BraSiIii and
His RattIeSnake Appetite

There is a serpent in Brazil whose
favorite diet is rattlesnakes and
whose favorite sport is hunting them.
It's scientific name is Rachidelus bra
silii. 1t is about ten feet long, non
poisonous, and covered with shining
lead colored scales. The rachidelus
does most of it's hunting at night and,
it is said, always comes out victorious
over the RATHER, which is not so
strong, but fights fearlessly, relying
upon the power of it's poison. The fol
lowing description of one of these
battles is taken from the account CT
an eyewitness:
"The, rachidelus, much stronger
than the rattlesnake, bent the latter
back into an arch, and twisted itself
in coils around it's adversary's body,
trying to break it's vertebrae and
crush the life out of it. These efforts
were not very effective, as the arch
formed by the rattlers' body was dy-
namically perfect and resisted all
pressure.

NOME FOUNDRY MAKES
 LARGE CASTINGS

This afternoon Mir. Brewer passed the Nugget office with several castings which were made over on the Sandspit at the foundry. The largest sprocket, or gear wheel measured six feet in dia- meter, and is a wonderful fine piece of work for this country. The castings are to be used in the new drin being constructed by Mir. Brewer for pros pecting the mines in this vicinity.
 The Nome foundry where the castings were made Is well equipped for doing all such work and have an up-to-d blast furnace where castings up to three tons in weight can be made.
 Nome is fortunate in having an in stitution of this kind now that dredges are being installed for it requires too much time to send to the states for dif- ferent parts of the machinery should they become broken.

 The question is whether I should overrule the conclusion of the United States attorney to the effect that you company, having only a retail license to sell liquor in Alaska, could not sell it except for consumption on the premises.
 ''In view of the terms of the statute I think that the district attorney is justified in his position.
 Under section 46s of the Alaska criminal code, as amended by the act of February 1909 it is proviced thet nquor licenses shall be of two classes. wholesale and 'barroom' This 'barroom' is elsewhere described in the section as retail license

 Panama, Feb. 1e.-Under the inter pretation of the law by Attorney Gen. eral Wickersham bar room licenses only authorizes the sale of liquor for con- sumption on the premises where it is sold.
 Bar room license is the license under which the retail liquor business of this country is carried on.

 Commissioners Gallaher will notify Panama liquor dealers of the attorney generals ruling on the law.

James F. Hewitt was fined a few days ago in the commissioners court for wholesaling liquor under a retail license, and during the trial it was brouht out that Hewitt owned a ware house receipt for , barrels of whisky, and loaned to Corners of Candle a 40- gallon barrel of whisky valued at $4.12 I-2 per gallon, or sl65 for the barrel.
 Corners sent Hewitt s165 as security that he would replace the whisky on the opening of navigation from the five barrels of bonded warehouse receipt Hewitt had sold him. While Hewitt claims it was in part payment on the five barrels of bonded warehouse goods he had sold him.
 Judge George n. Schofield held tha. the transaction constituted a sale and violated the liquor license which was held by Hewitt. The commissioner further held "No retail dealers have
 
 other retail dealer an amount of liquor in excess of the amount he could make in one sale. to-wit less than five wine gallons. That any amount in exces of five wine gallons would constitute a violation of the retail license"
 Judge Schofeld also held that the words in the amended act of February 6 of the Alaska criminal code: ITO be drunk upon the premises" under the bar room or retail license was descrip- tive of the place of sale and not 2 limitation against the sale of liquors under a retailers license in quantities less than five wine gallons to be drunk of the premises which is in confict with the alleged ruling of Attorney General Wickersham.

a party in Spain, setting forth that
the writer was in prison for political
offenses; but had a large fortune and

remittance of a nominal sum Of mon
ey to a name and address given. The
