Later Chief of Police Stahl, in an in- terview with a reporter said: “I do not care if Mrs. Nation smashes every joint in Topeka. I sympathize with her. I hope she will close up the sa- loons of the city. As an officer of the law, though, it is my duty to arrest her every time she creates a disturb- ance or destroys property. If we had the right kind of state officers it would not be nec ary for Mrs. Nation to do what she is doing.” There is a great deal of talk of plots to hurt Mrs. Nation. It was learned yesterday that several saloon men have charged thick glass bottles with tremendous pressure so that an ex- plosion will follow their being broken. She is not at all disturbed by these stories. ed: free issues an Appeal. Yesterday. Mrs. Nation dictated an appeal “to the children of the high schools of the United States,” in which she urged children everywhere to smash saloon windows with rocks. Mrs. Nation appeared in court yes- terday to answer to the charges of “disturbing the peace’ and “smash- ing a joint,” and the result was a bad half hour for Police Judge C. A.

Chicago, Feb. 6.— On to Chicago. ‘This is the slogan of Carrie Nation and her followers, and saloonkeepers in this city are preparing to give her a warm reception. Yesterday several of the prominent liquor dealers of Chicago received notices signed by supporters of the woman who has set Topeka afire with excitement, notify- ing them that unless they closed their places of. business by Feb. 15 the ope- rating committee, which, the com- munication says, is on an Eastrn trip, -will deal summarily with them. ‘Northern New York Snowbound.

Windsor, Feb. 6. — The last honors have been paid to Queen Victoria. Her body now rests peacefully beside that of her husband in the mausoleum at Frogmore. The final ceremontes were more of a pathetic character than any of the obsequies which preceded them. Shortly before 3 o'clock in the pres- ence of the royal mourners, the Grena- dier guard of honor lified the coffin from its temporary resting place in the Albert memorial chapel and placed it on a gun carriage. Slowly the cortege proceeded to the mausoleum. In place on the gun carriage was the same re- galia which attracted the attention of thousands since the march to the grave began at Osborne. Close behind walked the king, Emperor William and the duke of Connaught, wearing dark military overcoats and plumed cocked hats and looking pale and careworn. In similar dull attire were the kings of Portugal and Belgium. All heads were bent. The blue and gray of the Ger- man princes redeemed the royal group from perfect Somberness of Color. 3eside these walked Queen Alexandra and the princesses deeply veiled. The rear of the procession was brought up by the suites of the kings and princes, their vari-colored overcoats forming a striking patch of color. Down the long walk, with the band still playing Chopin's dirge, this quiet throng slow- ly made its way to the mausoleum. By 3:30 p. m. the crowned bier had passed into the old lodge which leads from Frogmore inclosure, where none but the family and servants were admitted. The choir met them and the royal fam- ily and they entered the burial place so dear to the late queen arid ranged themselves on each side of the coffin. The bishop of Winchester read the larger part of the burial service. After further singing by the choir the bene- dition was given and amidst the privacy of the family tomb the last farewell was sent, the funeral came to an end, the mourners drove to the castle and the crowd dispersed. KING EDWARD GRATEFUL. Expresses His ppreciation of Tributes to His Mother's Memory. London, Feb. 6.—King Edward has gazetted the following to his subjects throughout the empire: “To My People:- Now that the last scene has closed in the noble and ever glorious life of my Leloved riother, the queen, I am anxious to endeavor to convey to the whole empire the ex- tent of the deep gratitude I feel for the heart-stirring and affectionate tributes which have everywhere been borne to her memory. Alluding to the “common sorrow,” the king concludes by a general pledge to walk in the footsteps of the dead queeri in the fulfillment of his great re- sponsibilities. The king has sent a message to the people of India and special greetings to the native princes. He refers to the late queen’s special in- terest in India, of his own visit there, of his intention to follow in the queen’s footsteps, of the deep impression he has received of the loyalty of all classes in Italy. KING EDWARD DOOMED. Has Cancer of the Throat and His Case Is Hepeless. Uondon, Feb. 6.—King Edwardis a victim of cancer of the throat. There is absolutely no doubt of this, and the best specialists in the kingdom agree that his days are numbered. His case is exactly similar to that of the late emperor of Germany, and also that of the duke of Edinburgh. Sir Felix Se- mon, who is in regular attendance upon his majesty and sprays his throat at frequent intervals, is authority for the statement that the dread disease runs in the family of the king and that there is absolutely no hope for his covery. The story is told that Sir Felix, who is acknowledged to be the greatest throat specialist of the em- pire, keeps constant watch upon his royal patient. His majesty knows he is doomed, but he looks forward to his fate with superb courage and bears up bravely. WORTHILY HONORED. Homage Paid to the Memory of Our First Chief Justice. Washington, Feb. 6.—John Marshall of Virginia was installed as chief jus- tice of the United States one hundred years ago yesterday, and at 10 o’clock the centennial anniversary of that event was commemorated with im- pressive ceremonies in the hall of rep- resentatives at the capitol. The pres- ident and his cabinet, the members of the supreme court, the members of the senate and house, the diplomatic corps and members of the District bar asso- ciation attended as invited. guests. Chief Justice Fuller gave an ad- dress devoted almost entirely to the consideration of his predecessor’s ca- reer as an expounder of the Federal Constitution. Wayne MacVeagh. de- livered an oration. It was a thought- ful scholarly production. The exer- cises closed with a benediction by Rev. Couden, chaplain of the house. In one of the galleries was F.

S See, WAR SAR NAN NAAR SERARERDRRD, STUDYING BEFORE -OPEN FIREPLACE. . | ~~ OF BIS, (From Portrait Takem in 1858.) *EARLYLIFE. | a pal f fe Ath Lincoln’s Early Life Abraham Lincoln was born in Har- din county, Ky., on Feb. 12, 1809. He was the son of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln and descended from Samuel Lincoln of Norwich, England, who emigrated to Hingham, Mass., in 1638. Some of the descendants moved to what is now Berks county, Pa., and subsequently to Virginia. Abraham L. Lincoln, father of Thomas, followed Daniel Boone to Kentucky, where he was killed by the Indians while clear- ing his farm in Jefferson county. Thomas Lincoln was shiftless. He sub- sisted in a precarious way by doing odd jobs of carpentry; but he married Nancy Hanks and took her to a wretched cabin in Hardin county and tried to make a living at farming. In this hovel the future president was born, and came up at haphazard until he was seven years old. By walking four miles to school he contrived to get a very little of such rudimentary education as the backwoods afforded; but his schooling did not include more than a year of desultory instruction, and he had no home encouragement. At this formative period, Lincoln owed nothing to home training or home at- mosphere. His father was a shiftless creature with very ordinary intellect- ual gifts, and his mother, a frail wo- man, was broken by the ceaseless and hopeless struggle soul together. In 1816 Thomas Lincoln pulled up stakes and started with his family and to keep body and » = LINCOLN’S RESIDENCE AT SPRINGFIELD. meager household effects for Ohio. He brought up in Posey county, Ind., sold his boat and took up land in the wild- erness of Perry county. Here the wife gave up the unequal struggle and died. Abraham was nine years old and was left without any care what- ever. He was neglected, ill-clad and cuffed about when he got in his fath- er’s way. The elder Lincoln was not consciously brutal, but he was impa- tient and unregardful of the boy’s in- terests. A more forlorn childhood, or one less likely to develop the qualities which Lincoln displayed in after life, it would be hard to imagine. But in the midst of this depressing life, the lad was giving himself the moral train- ing for which he became so conspicu- ous. Within himself he was building a strong and solid foundation of moral character. He became what was call- ed a “serious boy.” This seriousness gave him an air of maturity and was quite as much the cause as the effect of his ponderiig upon such grave prob- lems of life as his undeveloped mind could grasp. His education was limit- ed, but he was of a studious turn, and pored over the few books which fell in his way. When Abraham was about twelve years old a new element entered into his life. His father took for a second wife a woman with whom it is said he was in love before he married Nancy Hanks. This woman had energy and soon wrought a revolution in the do- mestic economy of the Lincolns, She cleaned, and clothed Abraham and his sister, and, better still, took a real motherly interest in them. She was especially fond of the boy, and seem- ed to discern in him qualities above the average. Probably she pitied the forlornness of the silent, awkward lad. At all events she was kind to him and won the heart unused to kindness. She encouraged him in his studies and gave him the warmth of sympathy which expanded his nature and for the first time made him feel that he was a human being and that somebody shar- ed his hopes and aspirations. Lincoln always retained a loving remembrance of this woman, and in after life he re- ferred to her as “saintly.” Abraham grew with amazing rapid- | ity, and before his seventeenth birth- day was a strapping lad six feet four inches tall. He was strong and sin- ewy, with enormous hands and feet. He was described as having “dispro- Portionate length of legs and_arms, and over all a rather small head; his skin was yellow and shriveled, and his complexion swarthy. He wore coarse, home made clothes, and a coonskin cap; his trousers, owing to his rapid growth were nearly a foot too short.” He attended school irregularly until he was 17 years old. At that age he quit school for good and all, but his studi- ous habits remained with him and to them he owed an education self- acquired. After leaving school Lincoln earned money by working at odd jobs, and at the same time acquired a more or less deserved name for laziness. But what boy that had spindled up to six feet four inches in seventeen years would not be lazy at times? Even at that time he was noted for his propensities for story telling. He did not love work perhaps, but he loved reading and study. “He would lie under a tree or in the loft of the house, and at night sit in thé firelight to read, cipher and scriyble on the wooden fire shovel.” He read everything he could get hold of. He had a retentive memory and a taste for speaking in public. He fa- miliarized himself with grammar by the study ef a borrowed book, and his first dip into the law was through reading the’ statutes of Indiana bor- rowed from a constable. The year he was 16 years old he worked on a ferry boat on the Ohio river for $6 a month. A couple of years later he went down the Ohio and Mississippi as first mate of a flat boat. This trip gave him some knowledge of the outside world and awakened in him a desire to do something for himself. But the Lincolns had remained in Indiana as long as the restless Thomas could stand it, so in 1830 the family migrated to Illinois, settling at a point near Decatur. Shortly after arriving at the destination, young Lincoln came of age and launched out for him- self. In 1832 he went into the Black Hawk war in a company enlisted at Sangamon. He served with credit, but without particular distinction, and ever afterward was disposed to speak jestingly of his military experience. Young Lincoln established consider- able popularity soon after reaching his majority. His physical strength, quaint humor and inimitable stories appealed to the Westerners, and in 1832 he was a candidate for the state assembly. But he was not elected. His platform was straight Whig doctrine. To quote his own words in declaring himself a candidate: “I presume you all know who Iam; Iam humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solic- ited by many friends to become a can- didate for the legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old wo- man’s dance. I am in favor of a na- tional bank; I am in favor of internal improvement anda high protective tar- iff. These are my sentiments and po- litical prineiples. If elected I shall be thankful; if not, it will be all the same.” Having been defeated in his canvass, Lincoln embarked in a disastrous mer- cantile enterprise at New Salem with one Thomas Berry. His partner fied and Lincoln assumed the debts of the firm, the last of which he paid off in 1849. In 1833 he was appointed post- master at Salem, and served three years. The salary was almost noth- ing. The mails came but once a week and as Lincoln could not afford to hire a room he carried the letters around in his hat and deliverea them. In 1834 Lincoln was an acknowledged Whig leader and was elected to the legisla- ture, where he first met Stephen A. Douglass, the “Little Giant,” who was to become his competitor for the sen- ate and for the presidency. A Wrestiing Match, A story is related of Lincoln when he was a clerk in the store of Denton Or- futt, at New Salem. Orfutt had a great opinion of Lincoln’s mental ability, but a positive admiration for his feats of strength, and never tired of dilating upon the latter. It seems that a some- what notorious gang of terrors lived in a neighboring settlement. They prided themselves on their ability to wrestle and fight and put every new- comer to the test. They soon heard of Lincoln and were anxious to try his mettle. Lincoln was not a brawler and did not court contests of that character except as a means to an end; but Orfutt entered readily into the spirit of the thing and bragged so much about what Lincoln could do with the terrors that affairs reached a crisis and he had to yield to public elamor. A match was arranged with a chosen champion of the gang by the WY Ty old ag IN tHE COURT HOUSE AT RETERS- BURG: 1 (Where Lincoln and Douglas. Met in Debate.) name of Armstrong. The latter is des- cribed as a perfect specimen. of physi- cal manhood, powerful and agile and versed in all the tricks.of. the wrestler. When the match came off, all business was suspended, and the partisans wag- ered their small possessions freely. The contest was a draw, as. the men were so evenly matched that neither could throw the other. But when Arm- strong found that he could not throw Abe he resorted to foul tactics. This angered Abe, who, abhorred dishonesty in sports as in everything else, and he seized Armstrong by the neck and shook him until the breath almost left his body. Abe was not so expert a wrestler as Armstrong, but in strength the latter was an infant in the former’s . hands, ‘ Behind the Counter. An incident which occurred while he was in trade for himself gives addi- tional insight to his character and shows that he was prompt to rectify errors for which he was responsible.
