Lincoln was practicIng In cIrcuit courts
In counties contiguous to Sangamon. Ito
visited Lewiston , Fulon county , oftener on
legal business possIbly than any other outlying -

accommodations In the village were simply
Inadequate , and as a consequence the
. , "doubting up" process was resorted to In
- many Instances. An unusually heavy term
. of circuit court complicated maters of ae-
commodation. I Is recorded that Mr. Lincoln -
coln Judge Douglas and Peter Cartwright
slept side by side upon a leather bed upon
the puncheon floor of Mother Davidson's
humble home. I was In Lewlston , In 1858 ,
that Mr. Lincoln delivered one of the greatest -
est speeches of his 100 days' campaign against
Douglas for the United States senatorship.
In the meantime Mr. Lincoln and Mr.
Sympson hall renewed their friendship of
- boyhood days , and It was through the good
ofces of Mr. Lincoln that Sympson was
. enabled to secure the posItion of enrolling
: and engrossIng clerk of the IllInois house of
representatIves luring Mr. Ltncoln's mem-
berhip In that body. Mr. Sympson had
moved his family to Carthage from Macomb.

At the hCplabie home of Alexander Symp-
son on the night of October 19 , 1858 , we find
that among the most favored of the guests
there assembled to listen to the kindly words
01 the grave.faced man was Mr. Ltncoln's
own cousin. Ellen Sullivan Lincoln. She
was a beautiful girl and had ben educated
In a Roman CatholIc convent In Kentucky ,
anll was a gifted and brilliant conversaton-
alist. Mr. Lincoln was very proud of her ,
v . and upon one occasion remarked to one of
Mr Sympson's daughters , "What a nice
, cousin I have. "

October 20 , 1858 , was a beautiful day and

I. son and : lr. Lincoln strolled down town In

"public square" ! r. Sympson said : "The

I Is hardly necessary 10 state that Mr.

ably late at night , and carried by Mr. Lincoln

Iflahled the 26th. it. Mr. Lincoln spoke In Jacomb on
A TALK WITh CAPTAIN flUME.
The wrier paid I recent visit to Captain
flume at Iardlls\lle and learned \ from him
very much of interest concerning that visit
of ! r. I.lncaln. The captain says that Mrs.
Hume gave Mr. Lincoln a royal turkey din-
ncr that Sunday.
"Mr. LIncoln seemed to enjoy I Im-
menecly " said the captain , "and while lt
the table sold to Jrs. Hume : 1 I halt

I was to be the guest of other good friends
while WIS on this trp : , I should have brought
Mrs. Lincoln with me. That was my In-
ciination , but I was told that at several
clnaton
places where I was to speak the Iccommada-
tons ! were poor and the country I-settel
ill ' ) . I have found delightful friends , how-
\1. ' "
ever , .at every stopping place.
During Mr. 1.lncoln's stay at Captain
Ilunie's resllence ! he was accorded the use
lume's parlor bed room , which was In realty
to show the
two rooms , Mr. Lincoln began
effects of great wearIness during Sunday
afternoon , but , although he had written a
great many letters and hall met numbers of
citizens , he did not seem dIsposed to ba ex-
citzens . lie seemed constantly delighted to
clusve. le could
have found an old friend where he
rest for a time and feel perfectly at home.
CaptaIn tme says that he saw : fr. Lin-
coin again after this visit and heard him de-
In that campaIgn.
liver one of his speeches
It was at Galeeburg and the occasion was a
joint debate between LIncoln and Douglas.
Captain lume says he was standing In the
great crowd that lined the streets as the
proeeslon moved along towards the place of
sleaklng. , ! lie saw the carriage In which Mr.
Lincoln sat , and bad no Idea that : lr. Lin-
coin would ( recognze ! him In the crowl ! But
Mr. I.lncoln's eye happened to rest upon Cap-
tain Hume , and he ordered the driver to
halt. Then Mr. Lincoln beckoned to Cap-
tain Ilume . and the later came close to the
Iume. ane
carriage. "Get In and ride with me. " saId
ani
! r. Lincoln , and Captain flume entered the
vehicle "I want to talk with you about I
what I am going to say today. The people
will judge of what I say , and you are one of
the people. "
Captain flume says that : lr. Lincoln hur-
redly ! outlined to him the substance of that
relly
matchless speech which was on the lines of
thought he so ably defended In regard to the
treatment of the crime of slavery "I remember -
member , " rht Captain flume , .that Mr. Lin-
coIn repeated to me what he should say to
Judge Douglas that day , for they were to de-
bate 3ointly . I was this : 'I go not behind
Judge Douglas' back to say anything. What
I say , I say to his teeth ' This utterance ,
sy ,
when made to the vast crowd , brought forth
thunder of apphuse. " .
DOUGLAS' hiGh RESPECT FOR LINCOLN.
Captain lume thinks that neither Lincoln
nor Douglas could be counted as eloquent
orators In the light of present day oratory
He was also well acquainted wIth Douglas
and thought a great deal 01 him.
The writer has recently learned an Inter-
eating Incident of that Galeshurg joint debate
from Major H. W. MeClaughery . late chief
of police of Chicago , now superintendent of
the reformatory at Pontiac , Ill. As a young
man Major cClaughery was a great admirer -
mirer of Judge Douglas , and accompanied him
to several towns where he spoke during that
campaign. Judge Douglas howcd great fa-
tgue during the close of that campaign , and
at Galesburg In the forenoon before the
speeches were male ( was lying on the bed In
his apartments. surrounded by friends. Some
of them thought to encourage him by assuring -
Ing him that he would son dispose of ! r.
checked them how-
Lincoln Judge Douglas , -
ever "Do not be too sure of that , gentlemen -
men , " replied Douglas. "I know Lincoln well.
He Is the most dangerous adversary that the
republicans could have nominated. I have
met him now In several debates and he Is a
foeman to be drc-aled ( I shall have no walk-
away with Mr. Lincoln today ' ! udge Douglas -
las knew LIncoln's power better than anyone
else , and he was honest enough to give his
adversary credit for such prowess. Dath men
were the closest friends through life.
One of the most forcible speeches of that
senatorIal campaign delivered by Mr. Lincoln
was at Lewiston on August 17 , 1858. Judge
Dougla lad spoken there the day previous
to a crowd estimated at from 10.000 to 15,000
people. The crowd that faced Mr. Lincoln on
the 17th was not so lare. I contrasted
strangely with the multitude that had
thronged the old town to her Douglas. But
ole Fulton county idolized Stephen A. Doug-
las , and I was not strange that people for
many miles came to hear "The Little Oant . "
,
Lincoln was not then so popular , and the re-
glen thereabouts was intensely deniocratic.
Mr LIncoln stood on the front steps of the
historic old court house and during his mem-
orable speech , which the London Times said
was the finest exposition af the declaration
af independence extant , referred occasionally
to notes. His address was , In the main , extemporaneous -
temporaneous , but a stenrapher took tt
down , and the address has been published
with other delivered by Mr. Lincoln In the
campaign. I Is to be regrotted'that all the
addresses delivered by Mr. Lincoln during
that celebrated campaIgn could not have been
preserved
DRIVE WITH LINCOLN I 1858.
Among that ai'dience on August 1 wab
Mater Newton \Valker. Now Ivln ! at the
la \ cd ag of91 years ; at his quaint old
home In Lewiston Major Walker may be
seen any ilay . and willingly talks of the
early dnY8. Major Walker built the court
house In Lewiston from whose steps Lincoln
delivered that memorable speech. He began
its conslructon In 1836. and the building
cast only 9000. while the county commls-
sloN'rs gave Major Walker carte blanche
to erect such a building as would be suitable ,
st'ggostlng as the limit $10,000. In 1838
Major Walker was elected as an old line
whig to the slate legislature , and attended
the last session of that body at Vnnduhia .
lie was a fellow legislator with Mr. Lin-
coIn and hall many a bout with the later
In regatl to measures coming before that I
bOly. "I knew Mr. LIncoln intimately , and
wo were the best of friends , " said the major ,
"but I often gave him hail Columbia In the
house over certain measures he opposed or
lavored. "
Major Walker drove Mr. Lincoln from
Iwlston to Canton at the conclusion of Mr.
,
Ltncoln's address on August 17. "I do not
now recall Mr. Llncoln's chief topic of conversation -
versaton , " said the major "but It was
mainly concerning politics. I remember thut
Mr Lincoln then toM me he regarded Governor -
ernor Seward of New York as the ablest
man In the country. "

Lincoln that have escaped the notice of

people that they seemed to be a part of him.

'Poker" stories arc always attractive , no
mater whether the long bow Is drawn er
the truth rigidly adhered to I Is noticeable -
able , says the Washington Post , that the
public are particularly curious to be Informed
whether thft pastime Is indulged In to any
appreciable extent at the national capital ,
and ( If so . whether senators , conlressmen : ,
and other Public ofcial arc predisposed
that way , thl generaly accepted idea being
that our lawmakers should , above nil other
mel , be exempt , from all frailties , and
constitute the exemplars and guides In all
that goes to make up the sum total at
human perfection. People do not usually
consider that human nature Is the same allover
over the world , and that senator and congressmen -
gressmen arc not chosen by reason alone
that they are presume to be the best ,
purest and ablest men who can be selected
from out of the body politic.
'Che theory Is ale indulged In that thl
temptations of Washington are multiform
nnd far In excess of those of other cities ,
and that , therefore vice runs riot and men
who come to the federal city In Public
capacity are called upon to nerve themselves
against 11 Indulgences of whatever nature I
to a much greater extent than In any other
locality 01 position. There are "apsh pots , "
however , 11 all communitIes , and It Is
chronicled 11 scripture that the Israelites ,
after many hundred years of oppressive
bondage , hankered after the flesh pots of
Egypt even when restored to their liberty
and were being conducted by divine wi
toward the Canaan of mIlk and hone .
ane )
While human frailty and yielding to
temptation are about the same In average
at all times and In all places known to the
busy haunts of men , the proportions are
proportons
usually regulated by the extent of oppor-
tunity. The "poker" games of today at
Washington do not attain the dimensions of
the ante-helium period , nor yet those of
twenty or more years Immediately after the
close 01 the late war . when money was being
paid out In Immense sums by the govern-
tent In settlement of claims of endless
nature , anti its posession by everybody was
the rule rather than the exception. Outside
of private circles , "poker" at the federal
city Is now confined to comparatively smal
staltes. Gaming at the various city clubs
Is rigidly tabooed , and although police re-
ports develop that "poker" rooms are occa-
sionaly raided . It goes wthout sayingthat
the fascination of gambling still lives , move
and has its being and will continue to preserve -
serve Its existence to the last syllable of recorded -
corded time .

There are endless traditions concerning
the status of General Grant as a "poker"
pla'cr , and In the early days of his army
career after the termination of the Mexican
war , when stationed on the north Pacllc
coast , he became renowned as one of the
ablest strategists and successful players In
the army A brother officer , who then served
with him In Oregon , makes no secret of the
fact that Captain Grat kept , him , as well as
other comrades , In a chronic state of Im-
pecuniosity by season of his winning at
cards , and that various experts In the mys-
tortes of the poker game met the same fate
at the hands of the then embryonic great
military genius of the nineteenth century
to be thereafter twice chosen to the presidency -
dency of the United States.
GRANT WAS A GREAT PLAYER
"The dUnculy we all experienced In play-
Ing 'poker' with Grant , " remarked this
omcer , "was his extreme ri'ticence and won-
derful impassiveness , which none could pen- ,
etrate. NInety-nine men out of a hundred , i
under the excitement of high play , will be- I
tray emotion to a greater or lesser extent ,
but Grant was a sphinx that never spoke
He was 1lways cool and self-possessed even
when the wine flowed too freely and we were
all somewhat the worse for wear. No one
could measure the strength ar weakness of
Grant's 'hand' by any outward sign or the
circumstances of his play. Apparently he
was oblivious to all surroundings but close
inspection revealed the fact that he watched
his adversaries narrowly , and could detect
a 'bluff' with unerring certainty He would
cal a man with an Inconsiderable 'palr'
when It cost a good round sum to 'see' the
bet. "It was undoubtedly the outcome 01 mi-
Itary genius which enabled Grant to detect
either the strength or weakness of his ad-
verEary at cards. We did not then comprehend -
prehend that his play was strategic and
his methods af gaming really conducted
upon military principles. Subsequent events
developed that his passion for gaming was
not hedged upon winning money nearly as
much as It afforded him opportunity to en-
gage In strife and conquer. General Rufus
Ingails , who In 18H was a captain amt assistant -
sistant quartermaster , and subsequently attained -
tamed the rank of quartermaster general
was one of the lacllc coast party which
played daily with Grant , but , although recognized -
ognized as a past master of the game In-
galls was no match for th" little closemouthed -
mouthed Infantry captain Hen 101dl )
the pioneer mal contractor of that section .
was likewise on the 'poker' tapis with
Grant , fnd ' so were 'Joe' Lane and 'Jm'
Nesmith , both senators subsequently from
Oregon , the former the candidate for the
vice presidency on the ticket with John C.
Drecklnrldge In 1860. Den Holiday was an
inveterate poker player , but Grant Ingalls .
Lane Nesmih and 101ldiY are all dead , and
but few are no\\ alive of the old coterie
which gathered together at the card tables
01 that epoch on the shores of the Pacific. "
A TWO WEEKS' GAE.
I Is narrated that on one occasion haul-
day , Grant , Rufe Ingals and Ne9mLh en-
gagel In a game af poker which lasted two
weeks , nIght and day. At this juncture It
occurred to Nesmith that he had let his
wife at home sonic hundreds or more miles
away , with but little In the larser and no
money , and the unwelcome thought flashed
across his mind that he had gone away , to
be absent only a couple 01 days , anl In the
Interval It was quite probable that ! r. Ne-
smIth had run the length of her household
supplies , and was out 01 money and possbly !
beIng cned for by the nelghbcrs. The though
was harrowing and he vainly sought to ban-
Ish I from his mind , but , failing to do so ,
lost hIs nerve lt the play , and with It con-
slderable money At last , becoming desperate -
ate , he frankly stated , the case , and announced -
nounced his determination to quit the game
and return home. This angered Den Itoh.
Iday , who was not a man of the sweetest
temper when under excitement and he
blurted out :
"If you want to jump the game why don't
you Fay BO like a man and not give any such
flimsy excuse and lay the responsibility on
"
your wife ?
Neunlh glared furiously at 101day. and
s retorted :
"Jump the game ! Jump the game ! Why
we have been playing here three weeks n ght
and day 10w long Qoes a man have to play
'poker' with YOU before he can decently jump
the game ? You are the blgget 'poker' hog ,
Den 10lday , I ever knew , "
The most accomplished , "poker" player of
the post-helium period at Washington was
the late Fernando Wood of New York , who
served some fifteen or more ) 'eat In con-
gress up to his death In 1881. lie owned
and occupied the fine residencE at the corner
of Fifteenth and I streets , now forming a
part of John Chamberlin's famous hotel ,
which comprises the three historIc mansions
once tenantell by F'ernandoVood , Governor
Swann or Maryland and Jame O. Elaine .
Mr. Wood was a generous hOlt and provided
the most elaborate supper for his guests
Honn Plat who was a frequent visitor at
the Wood establshment , used to call them

Ington club , which flOtifisiied apace at the
period when Alexander n. Shepherd Inaugu-
rated the gigantic scheme of Improving the
avenues anti roadways or the national cspl-
tal , and who Is now recognized as a publIc
benefactor even by those who then condemned
and hastened his downfall , Clark Ingersoll
was conceded to be the ablest anti most dar-
log of all the array of Washington poker
players. Money was plenty , and large sums ;
changee hands In the rooms of the Washing-
ton club , on New York avenue , now , by the
Irony cf fate , owned anti occupied by the '
Young Ien's Christian assocIation.
Senator Charl of Colorado was an Invet-
erte poker fend , but he playell for excitement -
ment , nat gain. In fact , hl knew but little
about the mysteries or strength of the game
and never attempted to master them lie was
rIch , and could arcre the amusement. AB
a consequenCe he was accommodated by a
coterIe of friends , who parceled him out
among themselves In the most generous man-
ncr They rarely failed to win from $ GOO to
$1.000 at every sitting . but nevertheless
Chalice would play , apparently caring nothing
for his lasses. lie knew more about placing
mining properties on the stock market than
about card playIng , and his losses at poker
care
were amply repaId by Isis gains In dabbling
In silver mines.
A gentleman narrates that he was once
invited to take n hand In a "Chaffee" game to
fill the place of one of the players who was
11
temporarily absent lie happened to win several -
oral hundred dollars before he surrendered ( his
seat to the absent player , who had returned.
This gentleman subsequently stated to one
genteman
of the party that he woul gladly play again
and give revenge , as ho was somewhat mor-
tified lt not being Invited Into a game at
which he had won so largely. "Never mind
the revenge , " rld the party ) . addressed ( ; "you
are ahead of the game and that Is all right.
\\.e do not mean to be rude , but this Is a
Joe Chree game and It belongs exclusvely :
to us. You see , Chafee will play 'poker , ' and
we mIght as well win his money as outsid-
ers. "
"ZACK" CHANDLER'S GIE. ,
Senator Zach Chandler of Michigan was
Inordinately fond of the game , which he pre-
ferred to play In the basement of his resi-
dence , on I street , now a part of the 1 ls-
mere hotel. He was a ferocious "crowder , "
and became very angry when he failed to
"drive" his antagonists. General Grant
frequently indulged at Senator Chandler's
table , partIcularly when he ceased to be
president and visited Washington while residing -
siding at New York.r. . Chandler's guests
were invariably public men and sometimes
considerable sums sere ventured at these
sIttings. On one occasion a southern senator ,
who knew but little about the game , and
was considered a fat goose to pitlck had
such a streak of luck In the "draw" that he
literally walked away .wlth several hundred
lteraly
dollars , the major part of which was Zack's
money , who had attempted to "drive" him
on every hand. Chandler , subsequently attempted -
tempted to win back his money on various
occasions but his southern colleague was
always the victor. Finally old Zack barre,1 ,
him out of the ganle , explaining that he
CJuid not afford to play . . pokaF against miracles
of asinine luck. - I
In ante-behluc days wom n of fashion and
note Washington indulgc largely In poker
and "brag " but theIr flvorle game was
"three-trick loa" and "vhlgt-et-un , " which
was frequently played for high stakes. In
addition to these games "baccarat" has become -
come fashionable In the high-tone female
circles . . mainly Introduced by unenubers of the
forein legaton . Baccarat' is very fascinat-
foreljh women gaesters . butt being the
national game , poker . Is l 'bsually preferred.

NEW YORK , Aug. 18-Greatly hnp-roved
net railway earnings arc shown In a care-
fully prepared splclal report to Drallstreel's ,
an abstract of which Is as folo\\8 : The gross
earnings of 1G railroad companies for the
fIrst six months of 1895 aggregate $349,099-
773 , a gain of 3.6 per cent over the corresponding -
spending ' ( Ielal of 1891 , which In turn showed
a decrease from 1893 of 16.4 per cent The
net earnings of the s.lne roads for this year
aggregate $102,767,786 , a gain over last year
al 8.1 per cent and following a decrease In
1894 . ' . Divided Into
from 189 of 18.8 per cent. Dvided
groups a strikIng uniformity Is noted In the
increase and decrease In gross and net. Of

There are some lecrea'aes In , , ross earnings
this year from last , notably In the cases of
the southern and granger roads , but there are
ale notably larger increases In all the other
larger groups , where last year the decrease
was without reler When the net figures
this ) 'es are considered , the showing Is still
better. The decreases In the granger and
southwestern raIlroads , are still notable , but
the gaIns shown In the other groups of roads
are sufcient to more than counterbalance
this falling off . and the result Is a very satisfactory -
factory gain In net over a year ago.

"It is useless to expect that the mere
