cheered while the President bowed
and smiled. Tor the first time IN
years the burden Of State affairs
seemed to be lifted from his shout
ders. The play OF the evening was
Tom Tnylor's comedy. .sThe Ameri-
can Cousin" now known under the
title OF Lord Dundreary, SO named
on account OF the great hit made In
that particular part by the late q. "A.
Southern, father Of the present Shakes
perian actor by that name Shortly
after ten o'clock when the audience
was laughing at the eccentric comedy
OF Asa Trenehard (the American
cousfn) there was the sharp report of
"a pistol followed by the words Sic
semper tyrannis!'' For a second or two
the audience thought the shooting was
behind the scenes. Then they saw a
man grappIe with Major Rathbone and
strike him in the breast with q dagger
An instant later the man leaped from
the box to the stage falling In heap
as the result Of his spur catching In
the flag which draped the box. Al
most before The audience could grasp
the situation the man fed through the
stage entrance to an alley where he
mounted horse and ga11oped away.
In the meantime the President had
not changed his position except that
his head was bent. slightly forward and
his eyes were closed. Mrs. Lincoln

IN a bcwildered way Laura Keene,
the star Of the play. rushed to the
box but was unable to enter until
Major Rathbone. already weak from
the loss Of blood. staggered to the door
and removed the bar which the as
sassin had placed there to prevent any
one from entering. Several physicians
came in with Miss Keene, who held
the Presidents head In her lap while
the surgeons examined him. When
the wound was finally located by Doc
tor Charles Taft he felt sure that a
ride to the White House would prove
fatal, and ordered that the unconscious
statesman be carried to the nearest
house. AS no stretcher was available
q shutter was secured and the horror
stricken procession started for the
street. AS the theatre door swung
open Doctor Taft saw the light in the
hall Of an open door across the street
(now No. SIG North Tenth Street) and
he ordered the men to carry the Pres1-
dent there It proved to be a lodging

At the end OF the hall on the lower
door was a long. narrow room whose

Death or The President.
This scene Is best described by his
secretary. J ohm Hay. who was present.
AS the dawn came and the lamp
light grew pale In the fresher beams,
his pulse began to fail, but his face
even then was scarcely more haggard
than those Of the sorrowing statesmen
and generals around him. His auto
matte moaning. which had continued
through the night, ceased, q look Of
worn features. At twenty-five minutes
after seven he died. Stanton broke
the silence by saying, Now he belongs
to the ages The Reverend Doctor
Gurley kneeted by the bedside and
prayed fervently. The widow came, In

The Assassin.
While the President lay dying the
assassin. j ohm Wilkes Booth, who had
broken his leg IN falling upon the
stage was riding mad1y toward Mary
land like a hunted animal. His leg
was dressed by q confederate during
the night, and with y fellow cnnspir-
ator he pressed on (althouEh his In
jured leg caused torture) and finally
crossed the river. On April twenty
sixth the two men were located In
CARROTS barn near Bowling; Green.

passed off without a hitch, but before
two months had elapsed the guns at
E'o-t sumpter were silenced and the
CIVIL War was on. Then came four
long years Of carnage and b1oodshed.
Plots Against His Life.
He was il the habit Of spending his
summers at Ia cottage a few miles out-
side OF Washington {now part Of
the Soldiers Home) and repeated at
tempts were made to ''get him" as he
went back and forth from the Capt.
tai, but it was not until a bullet had
passed through his hat that he would
permit q. troop OF cavalry to accom-
pany him to and from WashinEt ON.
Even then the President protested
that the shot was fred by some fool
ish gunner and asked that his escape
be kept quiet.
Previous to his second Inauguration
rumors We're In circulation that he
would never again take the oath OF
office That tragedy was planned
for that time was unauestioned.
The police had been told and were
prepared. One or two struggles took
place between them and people who
attempted to reach the President
on that occasion. and 1t has been
stated that John Wilkes Booth was
one Of these persons. The foundation
for this statement is based on the fact
that when the policeman who had
stopped one Of the men In the at
tempt to get into the Capitol saw the
picture OF Booth after the assassina-
ton he declared 1t was the same man
he had held In the guard room until
after the conclusion OF the Inaugural
ceremonies.
At one time there was plan on
foot to kidnap the President and hold
him in captivity without injury to his
person until such concessions were
made to the Southern leaders as their
plan Of compromise rendered neces-
sary. The various schemes for the
abduction, however. proved futile and
the conspirators resolved that Moth

The Deed Committed.
The war had practically ended and
Washington had been wild with joy
for several uays: people were parad-
Ing the streets and bands were play
Everybody was happy. During
the afternoon Of the fourteenth the
President and Mrs. Lincoln took a
drive through the city. during which
Mrs. Lincoln afterward declared the
President was In most cheerful
mood. saying that now that his trou-
bles were past. he looked forward to
the time when they would return to
their Springfield home. Shortly after
reaching the White House they
learned that General Grant and his
wife were compelled to leave the city
to visit their children and could not.
attend the theatre with them that
night as arranged. Then Mrs Lin
coin suggested asking Major Rath-
bone and his fiancee. Miss Harris. The
party reached the theatre somewhat
late and entered the box which had
been prepared for them. while the
band played Hail to the Chief!'' The
theatre was well filed. owing to the
curiosity Of many to see General
Grant, who was expected by tho man
agement. The people rose and
