The sorrows of war were thus early
brought home to the president in a pc
culiarly affecting way. Young Els
worth was Lincoln's friend, former
student in his law office. His high
character and winning personality had
made him a favorite in Washington,
where he had been less than a month
with his regiment.
He had died, struck down by the hand
of a Virginian hotel keeper at Alexan-
dria, in the advance of the union forces
from Washington on the 24th. When
Lincoln heard of the tragedy he or

NINE PASSENGERS MAY
HAVE As|AT|C CHOLERA
Quarantine Officers of New
York Hold 0ceania Sick
Under Close Observation

NEW YORK, July 26.-officials at
quarantine station this morning are
making meteorological tests of cultures
taken in the cases of nine passengers
of the steamship Oceania, who were
taken i'll during the voyage from Italy.
The Oceania. which arrived yester-
day, had on board SAG passengers. Three
of the nine patients are suspected OF
cholera.
One of the crew of the San Giorgio,
which came in yesterday with no pas
sengers. but one stowaway on board,
has developed an illness resembling the
cholera.
The local health department has now
two cholera suspects at Bellevue hos
pital, and complete examinations will
be made today. Edgar Hermann, the
orderly, who attended Manuel Ber-
nudes, the Spanish sailor, now suffer-
ing from cholera at Swinburne island
is somewhat better.
The first examination of blood cut
ture in his case showed evidence OF
cholera bacteria The second test is be-
ing completed. The second suspect at
Bellevue is Louis Mach, laborer, who
was brought to the hospital late last
night as case of gastro-enteritis.
Quarantine officials are not inclined
to believe that the suspicious case OF
sickness on board the British steamship
Kirby Bank from Tampico, which ar
rived at Port Amber N. j., is that OF
cholera.
The steamers detained at quarantine
are the Principe di Piemonte, San Gior-
gio, Citta di Messina and Oceania.
The passengers of the Principe di
Piemonte probably will be released this
afternoon while the remaining steerage
passengers of the steamer Moltke, who
have been detained at Hoffman island
have been detained at Hoffman island,
today.
While the meteorological examinations
have not been concluded, Bellevue hospit-
al physicians were certain this morning
that Louis Mach is suffering from moth
ing but summer complaint and they are
strongly inclined to believe that the
final examination will show that Herr
mann is not suffering from Asiatic chol-
era
The steamers San Giorgio and Principe
di Piemonte were released from quaran-
tine this afternoon.

ROME STARTS CRUSADE
FOR COMMISSION FORM

ROME, Ga, July 25.-The Rome city
council was last night asked to indorse
commission form of government and re-
ferred the question to a committee for
investigation to report back If council
approves the proposition, bill provid-
ing for a modified form of commission
government for Rome will be introduced
In the legislature this week. Should coun-
ell fail to approve, the citizens will
doubtless introduce the bill anyhow.
though action may be delayed until next
year.
The cause of commission government
was presented by a big committee from
the Manufacturers and Merchants as
ISOLATION, headed by j. N. King, presi-
dent of that body, who made stirring
speech in favor of modern plan. He re-
ported that members of this body were
four to one in favor of the change from
the aldermanic form and had so express
ed themselves in post card poll.

promotion this fall. SO many girls
girls think that they are fitted for any
position and should have a fine salary
right away. There is no school that
teaches you and pays you right along
except stores and business offices and
some Of the larger ones are beginning
to demand experience at the begin

You want to know how to get that

In your home town your expenses
will be less for you can pay your share
in the home and you will have some

have to pay for when you launch out
alone. 1 wish that / could persuade the
girls TO stay at home until they are 90;

ELLSWORTHS FAREWELL LETTER
It was not known, until later that in the
last hours in his tent before setting out
to meet his DEATH, the young commander
had penned this almost prophetic letter
to his parents:
Headquarters First Aouaves.
Camp Lincoln. Washington, May 9, 1861.
My Dear Father and Mother: The
regiment is ordered to move across the
river tonight. We have no means OF
knowing what reception we are to meet
with. I am inclined to the opinion that
our entrance to the city of Alexandria
will be holly contested, and 1 am just in
formed that large force has arrived
there today.
Should this happen, my dear parents.
it may be my lot to be injured in some
manner. Whatever may happen, cherish
the consolation that 1 was engaged in
the performance of a sacred -lty, and
tonight, thinking over the possibilities
of the morrow and the occurrences of the
past, I am profoundly content to accept
whatever my fortune may be, confident
that He who noteth even the fall of a
sparrow will have some purpose even in
the fate of one like me.
My darling and ever-beloved parents,
goodby. God bless, protect and care for
you. ELMER.
