SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 12.-When
I was little the children lid not go
to history to learn about tlleir towns
man. Abraham Lincoln; tn ,y went to
their elders. Our grandparents and
their friends had borne some natural
human relation to the great man and
his family.
From their stories we gathered a
vivid picture of Lincoln, his ambitious
wife and his four little boys, the con-
temporaries of u parents.
Mary Todd the old ladies called
Mrs. L~incoln-of her we had almost as
clear an impression as we had of our
own acquaintance.
She had come to Springfield to visit
her sister, Mrs. Ninian Edwards. That
sisters house was now our school
house, so that 1t was easy to picture
Mary Todd in every nook and corner
Of the spacious brick house.
We liked to wander into the parlors
where Lincoln and Douglas courted
her in those far away days. We could
furnish again the old rooms as they
had looked in Mary Todd's day, for our
friends owned pieces of the old furni-
ture, great mahogany divans covered

P. S. RY. TO AID MOVE
FOR "SMOKELESS CARS"

That "smokeless trolley cars" will
be the rule in Essex countyIn the i'm
mediate future is the belief of the
Civic Club members, who are encour-
aged in their fight to stop the use of
pipes, cigars and cigarettes in the
cars by the announcement of Superin-
'tendent Newton w. Bolen, of the Pub
lie Service Corporation, that steps will
shortly be taken to abolish smoking
in the cars If the company rule
should be found insufficient ordinances
win be asked of the various munich
palities in the county.
Back of the movement are the Civic
Club. Mrs. Harry Compton, president;
the Contemporary Club, Mrs. William
S. Disbrow, president; the Women's
Press Club of New Jersey, Miss Marie
+. Ryerson, president; the Orange Po-
litical Study Club, Mrs. William B.
Donnell, president; the Philitscipoma,
Mrs. Edward Gray, president, and the
Municipal Art Society, Mrs. Francis

Mary her girl friends teased her,
"if you ever rest Oh Abraham's bosom
you will have to take a ladder"
His heart is as large as his legs
are long" she would reply.
That there had been some mystery
about Mary Todd's marriage to Lin
coin we gathered even as children. We
knew vaguely hat some misunder-
standing had interviewed between the
engagement and the final ceremony,
but better than the gossip we liked the
vivid details of the wedding itself.
From the scraps of talk we could pic
ture the whole busy day. for Mary Todd
n Lincoln gave their relatives but "a
scant days notice at the last. We ever
knew that Lincoln called at the Epis-
copal minister's residence and said:
"Dr. Dresser, | have a little job I want
you to do for me this evening""
We knew that Miss Todd's sister had
asked the neighbors' assistance to bake
the cakes and biscuits and hams for
that night. That Mary Todd wore a
sisters white satin dress and spilled
coffee down the ample widths. The
dress is still preserved among US. We
knew. too. that Lincoln slipped on the
little hand a ring engraved
Love is eternal"

Mary Todd was quite an aristocrat.
She had lei social traditions, she
spoke. French, she astonished her sin
pier friends by the ease with which she
talked to gentlemen about the affairs
of the day. She was not exactly pretty,
but she had a lovely neck nj arms,
and a bright way of speaking.
We liked to hear of the sharp things
Mary Todd could say. Once she was
talking to some gentleman in a very
subdued manner when q bold self
sufficient fellow approached and cried
out:
Are you talking dog Latin? I can't
understand a word"
That's strange" Mary Todd flashed
back, "a puppy should understand his
native language"

May Press Federal Action.
1t is now practically certain tina
Federal action will be taken in the
case of Brandt should the attempts to
secure Justice for him fail in the New
York State courts. United States Sem
ator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, ID
interested in the plight of Brandt, and
has conferred with the Swedish minis
ter and stands ready to press for Fed
oral action on the ground that Brandt
is an alien.
According to a dispatch Brandts
case is almost sure to be taken from
the state authorities and transferred
TO the United States courts, because
Brandt is not a citizen of the United
states, and a question concerning the
alleged illegal deprivation of liberty Of
the subject of a foreign power must
be decided in a Federal tribunal.
It is said the attorney-general will
not drop the Brandt case should the
ex valet be p%ardoned, but that a
searching investigation will be begun
without delay into Brandt's arrest,

Conspiracy Is Alleged.
A startling feature in the alleged
gigantic conspiracy to railroad the
former valet of banker Mortimer l..
Schiff to prison was had yesterday in
the allegation that Detective Woold-
ridge cid not visit -four States in
search of Brandt's criminal record. but
-l-~1l . ,onoxf hapaaA him hu William
w. Mclaughlin, then police inspector
in charge of the detective bureau at
police Headquarters. Woodbridge de-
clares that he had received the report
Of "Brandt's criminal record" from
Mclaughlin with orders that he sign
it. At McLaughlin's home it was said
he was out of town.
Assemblyman Charles J. Vert, of
counsel for Brandt, arrived in New
York from Dannemora, where he sue
ceeded in having an interview with the
prisoner after invoking the power of
the courts against the ukase of Gov

Martin r. Huberth in the

clined to make n statement, either
before or after the conference, and Mr..
Towns was equally r~eticent on the mat
ters which Brandt touched upon in his
talk with Mr.. Vert.
Couldn't Sign Affidavit.
There was this peculiar development,
however, which throws great light up
the methods in vogue at Dannemora.
affidavit was SC ur-d from Brandt
for the reason that The ali-powerful
warden of Clinton prison. to which
Brandt must return if his present at
tempt to secure justice fats. had forced
him to promise before le Nv Mi. Vert
that he would sign no afiidavits. The
full significance Of this may appear as
the investigation into all he phases of

remarked in passing that 1t Is a strange
action to force a Ian { promise not to
make any affidavite in a proceeding
