A new LIGHT
ON LINCOLN
DEALER PAYS $4,000 FOR MASS
OF DOCUMENTS IN NEW
YORK.
Most Of These Papers Were Written
by the Emancipator, Sold by
Others.

George D. Smith, dealer in manu-
scripts and rare books, returned from
Washington Wednesday with the
complete Lincoln collection of the
late Ward H Lamon, law partner
and lifelong friend of the great
En,anc,pator. He had purchased II
the evening before from Mrs. Dorothy
Lamon Pollard, daughter of Mrs. La
man, 1T price given as $4,000, and
he seemed in great goou numor over
the transaction.
1t will take weeks for Mr.. Smith to
find out exactly what he has bought,
the value of ii and it's Importance in
history, because his collection, rough
ly speaking, will easily fill 200 bnshel
baskets with letters to, from and
about Mr.. Lincoln, manuscripts writ
ten oy him, memoranda by him or to
him or about him, little odds and
ends all shedding light on his life.
It shows so far as can be judged,
an intimate history of the Lonciln
family before its emigration from Vir-
ginia. he history of his father and
mother, something of Lis boyhood
days, his early educational struggles,
his Young manhood, mis- first business
ventures, his career as a young law
yer, young seekr after elective hon
ors; il throws sidelights on his ttm-
lily history, his relations with his
brI Tiers, his tender attitude and care
for his stepmother, his attitude to-
ward his father, his opinion on public
topics, bis uprise in American public
life and concluding with a copy of a
pass issued to Mr. Lamon to pass
through the lines to Richmond, April
IL, 1865, three days before the assas-
sina:ion.
A tentative listing of the collection,
nine-tenths of which Mr.. Smith be-
lieves mas never before been made
public, shows thatthe re is an origi-
nal manuscript by Lincoln describing
a visit to the battlefield of Antietam,
nine legal briefs written by him, con-
tairing about fifty-five pages of legal
cap paper; letters written by Lin
coin in the years of 1S49, 1858 and
1860 and 1861 and a copy of letter
written by Mr.. Lincoln to his father
in 1S4S, besides a copy of a letter
written the same year to his brother,
Johnson. The copies are in the hand
Of Mr.. Lincoln.
There lisa note by Mr.. Lincoln to
MI Lamon declining to veto a SEN
ate bill. There is also a letter from
Yrs. lincoln asking Mr.. Lamon to
intercede with her husband for the
of Mr.. Woods to office.

waited for order. Then he reviewed

"The national committee since

Chairman Rosewater is not here as

A storm OF applause swept the
floor and the galleries at the mention
Of Roots name.
Mr.. Watson said that Chairman
Rosewater's only other duty in addi-
ton to presenting the name of Elihu
Root was to ask for another nomina-
tlon that might be made. Then the
convention could select its own chair
man according to custom.

with crigina! letters from many

grandDiece of John Randolph, of
Roanoke. in appreciation of his kind
ness to relative who was Federal
prisoner in charge of Mr.. Lamon,
then marshal for the District of Col

The list given, it is agreed, does
net comprehend the entire collection,
for there are boxes and bundles of
letters not yet inspected. They have
lac away in closet for, seventeen
or eighteen vars, and are only
brought forth, it is understood, be-
cause changed circumstances com
polled their disposal.
Ward Fl. Lamon was-born in Vir-
ginia in 1928 and died in 1893 He
went to Illinois at 10 and three years
later was admitted to the bar Soon
after this he went into partnership
with Nj. Lincoln, first at Danyille
aid then at Bloomington. Lamon
was made District Attorney for the
Eighth district in 1856, but when
Mr.. Lincoln was elected President
he accompanied his partner to Wash
ington as friend and protector He
was appointed United States marshal
and remained near his friend until he
took that trip to Richmond three
days before the assassination 1t
was the regret of his life that he
went, for he always believed, as he
states In hts own letters, that he
could have prevented the tragedy.
1t is impossible now to make an or
derby presentation of the collection,

NEGRO FOR HUSBAND
Woman Discovers Race of Father of
Her Children

Washington, Sept. 27.-After liv-
ing with her husband over three
years, believing him to be pure white
and having two children, Mrs. Anna
Wilson discovered through visit
from her husbands relatives that he
is a negro. She claims to belong to a
well-to-do family of Boston, where
she was wooed and won by Upton Will
son, then a government employe in
that city.
She and the children left for Bos-
ton Immediately. The children are
almost as fair as their mother, who
is devoted to them.
Mrs. Wilson was too proud to dis
cuss her strange case any farther.
She would not give her family's ad-
dress.
