WASHINGTON, Feb. W.—The events in connection with the sale of the old New York custom house to the National Cit bank, which heretofore has been the sut Ject of much comment, occur of the stage during the debate on the & dry civil appropriation bill in the house tc da. Much excitement attended the de bate. Mr. McRae of Arkamsas made a mo tion to strike out the appropration of $7,07¢ for rent of the custom house, and with this motion. as a basis, Mr. Jones of #inia launched a flerce attack upon the manner and circumstances of the sale and the vast profits which he claimed the bank made out of the transuction Becretary Gage was sharp 1 and several references were made to the letter written by Mr. Hepburn to Secratary Gage Apropos of the polttical claims of the bank Mr. Hopkins of Illinols declared that every act of the secratury of the treasu J¥as not only in exact accordance with la but also based Netther had t taxation by while the bui money pa n sound business princip ank escaped any of its of the tor ting was the or it was taxed reason contract, raxed wes In n Bombahe He threw a bombshell into the ¢ sion by producing coples of letters he said had been written by democratic leaders under a de ministration, asking that certain banks be made government depositories because of the political assoclations of their man agers. Mr. Hopkins sald the Hepburn letter scus which prominent nocratic ad to Secretary Gage was not the only one of that kind. He read copies of several letters from Senator Joues and Representa tive Breckenridgo of Arkansas, and others One of thess asked that the German Na tional bank of Little Rock, Ark., “be made 4 government depository,” adding, “it is conclusivel; democratic in its manage- ment. " “But does it say they contributed to a campaign fund?" asked Mr. Richardsco Mr. Hopkins read another letter, referring to the bank authorities seeking govern mental deposits, which safd: “They are all rellable democrats and was signe by enator Berr; of Arkansas. To this was affixed, “I concur. J. K. Jones ‘But does the speak of contribu tions to a campaign fund”’ persisted Mr Richardson. “1 have read the let sponded Mr. Hopkins, who next read a letter signed by 8. M. Peel, member of congress at the time, objecting to a gov ercment depository because that bank are open and notorious repub licans.” and adding that “‘from a political standpoint I am opposed to them." Rubs It In. Mr. Hopkins continued to read other let ters written by prominent democrats to Secretary Manning, including some from Illinois and Pennsylvania democrats. ‘Do any of these letters say ‘in consid eration of contributions’ that they are en- titled to the deposits, etc.” asked Mr. Richardson, “Be patient,” observed Mr. Hopkins. “I have one here He then read a leiter, to Senator Brice | from a Toledo (0.7 démoerat, commending a banker who had been “‘a liberal contribu- tor.” ‘This phrase evoked much laughter on the republican side. “DId any of these gentlemen buy property of the government”’ cried Mr. Richardson To this ejaculation Mr. Hopkins replied by producing a letter written by Mr. Richard son himselt under the Cleveland adminis- | his beliet that the number of siek and di the owners of | tration endorsing “for good and satisfac tory reasons’ an application for the trans- fer of the government deposit from the First to the Third National bank of Murphresboro, Tenn. This brought a round of applause from the republican side. Mr. Richardson jumped to his feet. “That bank is 150 miles from my district,” he| cried. "It never contributed to my cam- palgn.” (Republican jeers.) Followed Democratic Precedent, As a parting shot Mr. Hopkins declared that he had read the letters to show that Mr. Hepburn of the National City bank who was comptroller of the currency un- der the Harrison administration, in writ- Ing the letter to Secretary Gage had all thews democratic precedents before him Mr. McRae of Arkansas indignantly charged that the letters were private let- ters and had been furnished to divert at- tention from the sale of the custom house, | He and Mr. Hopkins had hot words and A moment 1t looked as if thers would be personal encounter.

Prose- | cuting Attorney Hoffheimer says he will drop them if the defendants abide by the injunction without appeal and this an- nouncement is said to have been under con- | sideration during the afternoon conference. At any rate these cases were postponed on the open docket, so that the prosecutor can call them at any time | Judge Hollister left the appeal bond to counsel on both sides, with the understand- | ing that it would not carry with it any stay of the injunction issued today. Attorneys on both sides agreed on a nominal bond of | $2,500 for the appeal. | While no such definite confirmation was | received from the promoters tonight as ex- | pected, yet It is believed to be due to some Abraham Lincoln Lincoln as a Lover. Governor Richard Yates of Illinols de- livered an’ address on “Abraham Lincoln’ before the Kickapoo club at Peorfa, in the course of which he made these interesting observations ‘Lincoln was a prince among lovers. He was awkward and bashful in the time when ; fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love. Yet he was highly re garded by not a few noble women, and at times four of them so treated bim that even he feit justified in proposing marriage. Ann Rutledge, Mary Owcns, Sarah Richard and Mary Todd—these four we know he loved and courted. It is al r| ways a gratfication ta me to know that our greatest men have been among our most ardent lovers. Washington was en- gaged to five different girls within ten years. He, however, was an elegant gen- tleman, a man of fashion, and always at ease in women's soclety, and it is not in the least surprising that a man so con- stantly’ coming in contact with women should be attracted by and to them. Timidity, however, in polite society was chagacteristic of Lincoln's whole life And strong indeed must. have been his love to enable It to overcome his natural and eternal shyness in woman's presence. Thos who know him best assert that his affec- tion once evoked was impetuous and fer- vent. Above the lonely and lowly grave In Menard county of Ann Rutledge, his great heart broke. To that lovely girl he had old story as he escorted her to the ‘quilting bees.' The owner of a quilt made in those days still retains it to show to all-interested. the very uneven and irregular stitches which Ann Rutledge made as her heart and soul throbbed and thrilled with joy when, sitting by her side as she worked, Lincoln told that story of man's love for woman, sweet as it is old and old It is sweet.” The Boy Was Pardoned Emmalena Wilson Irvine in Philadelphia Ledger: One day while waiking in the grounds of the capitol a gentleman accosted my mother, saying, “Madam, there is a snake on you,” at the same time brushing off her shoulder a long, ugly, green worn. As she turned to thank him for the courtesy she replied, “I am glad it is not & copper- head,” and looking up recognized President Lincoln. There was a broad smile on his plain, honest face as he carried out the play npon the word “copperhead” with some pleasant remark. Then he asked her name They continued to walk for a short dis tance talking on a subject dear to her beart—sick soldiers. Several months afterward a young sol- dier was sentenced to be shot for deser- tion—they were very strict (hose days He was so homesick to see his mother that ho took a chance to go to her, but only remaining a few hours. On his way back returning to his regiment he was ar- rested, then tried and sentenced to be shot My mother became interested in the case and offered to see the president and inter- cede for him. On, reaching the White House she wa ushered into a room crowded with anx- lous people waiting for a chance to see the head of the nation. There seemed little prospect for her oase, but hoping that her name might recall the incident at the pitol grounds she sent in her card, Shortly word came to admit her. The Kl president reccgnized her immediately, and asked what he could do for her. She told the story of the homesick sol- dier boy; how, as soon as he had seen his dear mother, he was willing to return to his regiment. There was no thought of deserting; that on his way back he was arrested and, after a trial, sentenced to be shot. The boy was young; she knew he would never do it again. He took the name, and, looking up, kindly said: “Bring back all the homesick sol- Aler boys you can, Mrs. Wilson. No sol- dier of mine shall be shot who is eager to return; but discipline must be exercised, you know." The boy was pardoned The seme woman was the mother of the young surgeon, D. C. A. Leale, now of Madison avenue, New York City, who was the first to enter the box at Ford's theater when our president was so cruelly shot He examined the wound, staunched the blood, then had the body conveyed across the street to more comfortable quarters, and remained with the other sad ones until the president breathed bis last. Lincoln’s Life in the 'Sos. Paul Selby in St. Louls Globe-Democrat My first opportunity for a personal ac- quaintance with Mr. Lincoln occurred in 1854, 1 being then in the third year of my experience as editor of a paper at Jack- sonville, Ill, a college town less than thirty-five miles distant from Mr. Lincoln's bome at Springfleld. Even then he was widely known through all that region by the sobriquet of “Honest Abe,” a title accorded to him by virtue of the reputa- tion he had aiready ucquired for personal probity. Two years later the issues grow ing out of the repeal of the Missouri com- promise and the steps leading up to the organization of the republican party brought us loto closer comtact, and | became a frequent caller at the office of Lincoln & Herndon on my occasional visits to the state capital On February 22, 1836, Mr. Lincoln met with a little coterie of a dozen lilinols editors opposed to the principles of the Kansas-Nebraska act, who had come to- getker for the purpose of devising a line of policy in opposition to the further ex temeion of slavery, and by his advice and co-operation aided in the enunciation of a set of principles which became the founda- tion prineiples of the republican party. It was this meeting which appointed the Bloomington convention of May 29 fol lowing, at which the republican party in Illiois was formally organized and at which Mr. Lincoln made one of the most remarkable speeches of his life. At a bavquet given to the editors in the even- ing, after the conference at Decatur, in reply to a suggestion of his name as a candidate for governor at the succeeding election, Mr. Lincoln evinced his charac- teristic unselfishness and sagacity by de- cHping the homor, declaring that, as an old-line whig, he could only hope fo se- cure the votes of the anti-Nebraska whigs, while in the person of -Colonel Willlam H. Bissell, an anti-Nebraska democrat, there was @ man who could secure the votes of all opposed to the Nebraska act and who could be elected. Colonel Bissell was nom- inated at Bloomington and Mr. Lincoln's judgment was vindicated by the election of the entire ticket in November. Another historical occasion on which the writer bad the opportunity of seeing Mr | and its reputation as «' fawh contemplated, not omly by the evidence of | the state, but also by that of witnesses for the defense. After quoting from various decisions on the contention of counse! as to liffer ences between privaté and public Judge Holllster said “The difference: between public and pri- vate nuisances is that a private nuisance involves private propevty and a public n ance involves al the nforests of mankind."
