SAW LINCOLN DIE.
Man in Whose Room Emanci-
pator Breathed His Last
Died in AImshouse.

New York. oct. 3.--Thomas Proctor,
in whose bed Abraham Lincoln is said
to have died, is a pauper in the City
Home on Blacllwells Island. He was
formerly n lawyer here, and an anna
teur naturalist. being a friend of John
Burroughs. A breakdown Of his health
about ten years ago caused him to
lose his grip and in 1915 he became
an inmate OF the City Home.
Proctor. when seventeen years old,
was a clerk in the War Department
and had a room in the lodging house
opposite Ford's Theatre. where Lin
coin was shot by Wilkes Booth. as set
forth in the story told by him and cor
roborated by his friends. On returning
from an entertainment. Proctor reach
ed the lodging house in 10th st. short
ly after 10 p. m, just as men crossed
the street. carrying the form of Lin
coin, unconscious from bullet in the
brain. Proctor directed the party e
his room, where the President was
laid upon his bed.
According to his story. said to b.
corroborated by a contemporary wood
cut Of the death-bed scene, Proctor
was in the room at 7.20 o'clock the
following morning when the President
breathed his last. Proctor is thus prob
ably one of the two surviving wit
nesses Of the death of Abraham
Lincoln, the other being his son, Rob
ert Lincoln.

buy cotton at the new quotations
and advance the price of goods
accordingly.
Retail merchants are vigorously
opposing advances in oil textiles and
insisting that lower prices are neces-
sary TO create a good volume OF
trade. The situation is unsettled,
with opinion spreading that costs
must be reduced both in the manu-
facture OF cloth and in the garment
trades.
In many lines there is a stir OF
increased activity, attributable TO
fall trade. Crop moving is not.
however, affording the normal slim
illus, owing in part to the low prices
of farm products and in part TO the
fact that the proceeds are going
largely to pay old debts. However,
there is more cheerful feeling as
debts arc paid or reduced. There
is not enough business TO so around,
which makes competition sharp,
with. profits at the minimum.
The wheat crop OF the United
States and Canada stands at latest
estimates about the same as year

the same as for last year. About
