Was fitnot Carlyle, who asked, .“How many fools does it take to make a public’?’ ’ Does not anoth- er popular proverb say, “Too many cooks spoil the broth?” It is a vulgar er- ror to believe that many persons togeth- er can decide better upon a subject than one person alone. An optimist might argue that this belief has taken birth from the modesty of mankind, a pessi‘é mist that it has arisen from the desire to escape responsibility. The popular notion is that a number of intellects can be summed up into one hole, but the fact is they limit each other and act as a .clog. ”Men,” said Galilei, “are not like a number of horses attaclnd to a carriage, all pull: ing together, but' rather like a number ‘of loose horses running a race, of which one gains the prize.” —- Blackwood’s Magazine. ‘ Napoleon’s Admonitlon to Fesch. “Fesch, ” said the emperor one bright noon to the cardinal,‘ interrupting a homily on politics, “do you see that star?” “No,” was the reply. “Well, then, as I alone can see it I will go my own way and tolerate no remarks. ” Suchis the significant anecdote .told by Marmont, and if its truth be not con- crete it is at least.

How the Great Southerner Came to \Vrite 1115 Lecture and \Vhat He Learned by Looking Up the Facts of His Subject. News to the Reporter. That a sent 11 man, honorablyiden- tified with the Confederacy and withal a Democrat of national character and standing, should select Abraham ‘Lin- coln as the subject for a popular lecture wasin itself sufficiently anomalous, but that the result of such an enterprise should be eminently successful, drawing great and enthusiastic audiences, no less in the south than in the north, was, to, say the least of it, surprising, and, as Mr. Watterson had declined to talk politics, a reporter Of The Times—Dem- ocrat asked him how he came to aban- don ‘the very interesting party warfare of the period to plow in what upon the surface seemed so unpromising a field. “The discourse upon Abraham Lin- coln, ” said Mr. Watterson, “was the Offspring of a few chance words of mine used in characterizing Mr. Lincoln as ‘a man inspired of God.’ I was taken to task for this and put upon my defense. Knowing less then than I know now of Mr. Lincoln, I naturally fell back upon . the superficial aspects of his life, em- bodying the career of a man who lacked all opportunity to prepare himself for the great estate to which—late in life, without name or fame or official train- ing—he had been called, plucked as it were by a caprice of fortune from ob- scurity, and at a supreme moment ele- vated to supreme command. I must have made out my case—or at any rate the Lincoln Memorial association of Chicago thought so—for they invited me to deliver an address upon the great war president on the next celebration of his birthday at the Auditorium in that city. This was not then possible, but a year or two later Iyielded to their wishes. There followed so many calls for its repetition in the form of a leo- ture that in the end I found that I had imposed upon myself an undertaking far more reaching than. I had originally dreamed of. ” “You have delivered this lecture to southern audiences, Mr. Watterson?” asked the reporter. “Oh, yes,” quickly returned Mr. w., “and to none more responsive. The truth is, when I came to investigate the subject, to look closely ‘into the record, among the many surprises I found none was more unexpected to me than the re- lation of Mr. Lincoln to the south and to the people of the south. He was the one possible Republican nominee for president in 1860 who were no scars and nursed no griefs or grudges growing out of the antislavery battle. While Seward and Sumner and Chase and the rest were engaged in hand to hand com- bat with the southern leaders-at Wash- ington, Lincoln, a philosopher and hu- morist, was successfully and serenely practicing law away out in Illinois. His southern connections were many and close. He was himself a southern man. His peeple were southerners. His first sweetheart was a Rutledge. His wife was a Todd. ” “That is news to-me,” said the re- porter. . “That is news to me, too,” replied MrsWatterson, and then proceeded: “In none of his great speeches during the debate with Douglas did he use a. harsh, narrow word against the south- ern people. Assailing the institution of African slavery, as a system, he declar- ed that he would despoil no man of his property rights in the constitution, ad- mitting that the slaveowner had many reasons for his belief in slavery and was entirely honest and sincere. During the whole period of the war he employ- ed no vindictive or prescriptive expres- sion, while there was not a day of his life that he was not projecting his great persOnality between some southern man or woman and danger. He issued the emancipation proclamation as a war measure, and as late as Feb. 3, 1865, proposed to his cabinet 21. plan to pay $400,000,000 to the southern states for the slaves upon the basis of the census of 1860. ” “Is that possible?” interposed the re- porter. “It is more than possible—a part of the record. He who doubts it has only to read for himself. He will find that and much more bearing upon the char- acter of Abraham Lincoln as an enlight- ened and conservative statesman and a generous, humane man. All these things were new to me. I thought I knew something about Mr. Lincoln. I discov- ered that in reality I knew very little that was accurate and was wholly ig- norant of a great deal‘additional that was true. The consequence has been that my southern audiences have shared the pleased surprise which filled me when I first broke into this storehouse of historic revelation. The fact is that Abraham Lincoln was a man’s height above the men around him. Soon Sew- ard and Chase were pasteboard men by the side of him. ”eNeW Orleans Times- Democrat. ‘ China’s Flag.

The Local Committee Will Have Only 3,000 of the 15,000 Seats In the Convention Hall—Tho Formal Call Will Be Issued Shortly.’ l V -——-- ‘ WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The main de- tails of the Republican national conven- tion at St.‘Louis on J 11:16 16 were perfect- ed at a mating today of the subcommittee appointed'last night to hike charge Of ar- rangements. Messrs. Karena and Thomp- son, representing St. Louis, were present at the meeting and gave assurances that the plans proposed would be speedily ex- ecuted. . The committee agreed that the seating arrangements of the St. Louis exposition building needed remodeling. At present the rostrum is at one end of the vast hall, , ' strikers after the union men had gone out so that people at the other end‘ are too far away to hear what is going on. It was decided to have the rostrum placed mid- way and at one side of the hall, with the seats of delegates arranged according- nailing—“— ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION BUILDING. ly. A diagram of the change is to be .com- pleted'by the St. Louis people by the time of the subcommittee’s reassembling. It will show the central arrangement and will designate the seats of each state dele- gation. The alterations of the building probably will cost $15,000. The question of allottin g tickets brought out much animated discussion. The ex- position building accommodates 15,000 people, but these limits are expected to be severely taxed. It is understood that an understanding was reached that the St. Louis local committee would not control more than 3,000 tickets, and of those 500 should go to veterans of the war and 500 to distinguished guests. The national committee, it is understood, will control the balance of the tickets, as well as re- tain a supervisory authority over the 3,000 tickets going to St. Louis. » The Convention Call. The subcommittee adjourned to meet in St. Louis the latter part of 'January, the date to be announced hereafter. They will personally inspect the hall and all other features of the convention. Chairman Carter expects to issue the formal call for the national convention within the next day or two. It is impera- tive tha't it is issued by the 15th inst, in order to give full six months’ notice for the election of delegates to the convention. The excitement attending the national committee meeting has subsided now that most Of the committeemen and delega- tions representing cities have gone home. The jubilant St. Louis party left on a spe- cial train at 12:30 today for New York city. The friends of Governor McKinley will close their quarters at the Arlington and thereafter will have permanent rooms at the Hotel Cochran, in this city, with Chairman Grosvenor. a vice chairman and an executive committee of five persons in general charge. A BIT OF PENCIL. Prized Because It Is a. Veteran and \Vcnt Through the \Var. “I have a very fine and choice cabinet of relics and specimens of the late war, ” said J. Fillmore of South Dakota. “In the collection is an old fashioned com- mon lead pencil, only three-quarters of an inch long, which was given to me by Major J. B." Fairbanks, who carried it through the entire war, and in present- ing it to me the major gave me this bio- graphical sketch Of the pencil: ‘This pencil is a veteran of the late war. When it enlisted, it was round and of full length. ’ - ‘ ‘ ‘When the war was over, it was, like many other veterans, badly used up. During its service it campaigned in dust and mud, over the hills and plains of Maryland and Virginia, through the swamps of Mississippi, across the moun- tains of Kentucky and Tennessee, again through Virginia, from the Wilderness to Appomattox. It has watched upon the picket line in daylight and in darkness, in heat and in cold, in rain and in snow. It has taken part in many skirmishes, and in more than half a score of regular battles, and in addition it went through the siege of Petersburg, and was en- gaged in several of the assaults upon that stronghold. With it, for eight months, while the owner was first serf geant of his company, he kept the daily \record and report of the company. “ ‘It wrote the name and the number of those on detached service, of the ab- sent with leave, of those daily detailed for ordinarycamp duties or occasionally ' for some special duty, of the number present for duty and of the sick in quar- ters. At the roll call after battle it has. noted the names of those who did not answer. It has recorded the names of those men as killed in battle, wounded in battle, died of wounds, died of dis- ease, discharged on account of wounds received and disease contracted in line of duty. In its own way it has written- its humble page in the history of the most eventful epoch of all times. Pre- serve it and cherish it.’ .”—Kansas City Times. . Steamers In Collision.

Some Recent Recruits to the Union Have Returned to Work. , _ NEW YORK, Dec. Ill—Reports were circulated about the Siegel-Cooper build- Ing today that a stampede had taken place among the striking union houseu smiths and that 15 of them had returned to work on the jobaud more were to fol- ' ' low them. - , _ An investigation of the reports showed that 13 men who Were not members of the Housesmiths and Bridgemen’s union, before the strike, which began Nov. 18, . but had either been persuaded to join the strikers'or had done so of their ,own ac- cord and were furnished with cards by the executive commlttee so they would be en- titled to » strike benefits, had returned to work. . Superintendent J. W. Allen, Who rep- resents the Siegel Construction company, the owners of the real estate and building to be occupied by the Siegel-Cooper com- pany, stated today that he had been in- formed that the men who returned to work were members of the union. The men Were questioned and acknowl- edged that they had not been members of_ the Housesmiths and Bridgemen’s union before the strike, and having joined the they were furnished with cards and were paid $5 each the first week as a strike benefit. Not receiving ‘ anything the second Week, they returned to work. - Foreman Weiner, who has direct charge of the iron workers on the job, said the 13 men had been employed on the job “before the strike and were good Workmen. Superintendent Allen said there were 154 men at work on the job, and that al- though the work was not progressing rap- Idly a good deal had been done in the way of preparations, and the Work of erecting the iron columns and girders on the upper part of the structure would soon be begun. Mr. Weiner declared that 104 of the 154 men were practical housesmiths. The bricklayers are still out, and Dele- gate Donnelly Of the Bricklayers‘ union says they will remain out until the strike of the housesmiths is settled. ZIMMY IS STILL KING. The American Cyclist one... the Eyes of Australian Pedalers. VICTORIA, B. C.,Dec. 12.-—Arthur Au- gustus Zimmerman is still the king of the cycling path, and though in his first race on Australian soil he took second place to Parsons. who thereby leaped into fame, the supremacy of the antipodean was short lived. It was at a two days’ championship meeting of the N. S. W. League of Wheelmen, which opened at Sydney Nov. 16, that Zimmerman’s op- portunity to redeem himself came. It was in the half mile championship his greatest triumph came, when at the turn into the stretch he jumped from the bunch in which he had been one with the cracks Parsons, Iredale and Lewis. his mighty rush carrying him past the win« ning post, a winner by 30 or 40 yards. His rivals seemed standing still, while 30,000 spectators seemed paralyzed with surprise. “So stupefied, ” says the Sydney Herald, copies of which arrived on the Miowra, expressed it, “that they forget their voices till the wizard leisurely pedaled back to the pavilion, modestly refusing the honor of being mounted shoulder high and car— ried to his quarters. “Then the enthusiasm of the spectators found vent, and the most sensational ride 'ever made by a cyclist under Australian skies was rewarded by such a about of un- bounded enthusiasm as the performance deserved.” ‘ - The preliminary heats had left but four candidates for championship honors, un- questionably the stron; 3 quartet ever brought together in Australia—Zimmer- man of America.
