An Episode In Lincoln’s Life.
' Three men are yet living who know
the true story of President Lincoln ’6 se~
cret journey across Baltimore on the
night of Feb. 22, 1861, on his way to
his inauguration at Washington. Those
three men are ex'Qover-nor Cnrtin, Colo-
nel Lumen and colonel A. K. McClure.
who tells the story in McClure’s Muga-
zine. Lincoln had reached Harrisburg
on his Way to Washington. General Scott
and the Pinkerton detectives had become
assured that there was a plot to murder
the president if he passed through Bal-
timore by daylight of the 28d, accord-
ing to the progmmme arranged.
It was therefore arranged at a dinner
given to Lincoln by Governor Cnrtin at
the Jones House, Harrisburg, that the
president elect should secretly return to
Philadelphia that evening, Feb. 22, and
take a night train to Washington. This
would convey him through Baltimore
some hours before he was expected to
arrive there, and in . the darkness in-
stead of by daylight. Colonel Thomas
A. Scott of the Pennsylvania railroad
was one of the men who arranged the
journey, and he had all the tl'liegrnpb
wires out that led out of Harrisburg.
Colonel McClure accompanied Scott on
his rounds to see that this was done.
The arrangement was carried out to
theletter. Lincoln arrived in Washing-
ton about daybreak of the 23d. To this
day nobody knows for certain whether
there would have been any attempt to
kill the president had he undertaken to
cross Baltimore by daylight. But he
himself never would believe there was
any danger, Colonel McClure says. He
also says that to the day of his death
Lincoln regretted that he had listened to
the advice of his friends and changed
his programme and secretly journeyed
from Harrisburg back to Philadelphia
and thence to Washington. There was
no truth whatever in the sousationalsto-
ries of the time that be disguised him-
self. This Would have been a very hard
thing it: a man who looked like Abra
ham Lincoln to do.
To the Graduates, Greeting.
Let us hope all of you, all our this
country, boys and girls both, have de-
veloped your bodies as well as your
brains during your college years and
that you will be healthier, handsomer
and happier men and women from new
on to old age than the generation of
Americans who gobeforo you havolwcu.
Let us hope that you have heads
packed full of the learning that. will
help you in your practical wrestle with
the world. and that you know the buttr-
ings of the silver quest ion,the labor ques:
tion and the tariff question, as well as
the meaning of syueclidoche and preterit
tenses. Because, dear young people, a
preterit tense or even the reading of the
inscriptions on the ruins of an Assyrian
temple is nothing to the amicable set-
tlemcut of the strife between labor and
capital in our day.
Let us hope that you all have honest
hearts, kindly tempers and gentle man-
uers. Manners make themau. You are
full of ambition for the time to come.
May your best ambitions be realized,
every one. But. one thing forgot not. It
is not what people do, but what they
are, that is the test of their success in
life: Character building is more than
fortune building, more even than fame
building.

Universal regret is expressed, says the

Norwalk, Monday. They are both rail-
way men of many years experience. The
accident is one such as is lisbleto occur
with any railroadsr at almost any time.
It was one of those things which simply
happen and there is no accounting for
them. Both men were experienced rall-
rosders. The orders they received were
plain. yet they disregarded them and
placed their own llveeae well as those of
others in jeopardy. The unwritten laws
which govern railway service are severe
and even the slightest breach means
punishment. The friends of both of the
suspended men. and they have many,
will extend to them the greatest sym-
pathy. .
To Prevent Disease.
To prevent disease live in the open air
as much as possible. Let the sunshine

Screens also shutout the pure air to a
great extent. The leaves of lavender
scattered freely around will drive the
files out. The people of California have
learned to discard blinds. The finest
houses are built without them. in that
