.Book" .answers that question
every day for your boys and girls,
Klght and forty years ago Monday oc
curred tho greatest tragedy In tho his
tory of this ruuubllc the assassination of
President Lincoln In Washington. Cir
cumstances surrounding the tragedy of
April 14, 1S65, lent to It a force that can
not be measured at this distance of time.
The elvll war had been fought to a suc
cessful close. Joy over the conclusion of
tho desperate struggle was universal In
tho north and hearts strained to the
hronklna- nolnt. overflowed with ' Brail-
tude and reverence for the greatest presi
dent who guided tho destinies of the na
tion through four years of devastating
war. In tho midst of the rcllff and re
joicing tho nation's leader was stricken
unto death. The next Instant Joy changed
Into grief, hopefulness Into gloom,, and
tho waning passions of war were revived
and redoubled In fury.
An Intimate, account of the tragedy and
attending circumstance la given In Gen
eral Itocllff Hrlnkerhoff's "Kccollectlona
of a Lifetime." Ills account follows:
An Ominous HIk
The morning paper of April 14, had an
nounced ho arrival of Qencrat Grant In
ho cltv and tho ovenlm: papers made
tho further announcement that In com
pany with tho president ne would bo at
Ford's theater that night. For want of
Inclination, or want of time. I had never
bccii much of a theater-goer myself, but
f hud a couple of friends who had never
seen General Grant. Therefore, fbr tho
first tlmo In Washington, I concluded to1
go with them. Wo went eany In order to
select our position, Tho night was dark,
for there was no moon until after 10
o'clock,, and my recollection, also, Is that
It was cloudy, with a gloomy mist In the
air. At any rate, an we came down from
the war office and passed 13 street, we
noticed lh front of Grover'B theater, a
large transparency, nnd as It was the only
ono visible, we gave It attention; but an
the fllr was misty or smoky wo could
not make out the Inscription distinctly. At
ccn end, .however, there was a separate
Inscription that on tho left was "Aprt,.
1801, the cradle." That on the right was
"April,'-14C5, tho grave."
"Jlnthcr ominous, that." said ono of
the party, "Tlicy must bo rebels," said
anoth.er. Of course It meant tho cradlo
and grave of the rebellion, out Its Instlno
tlvcncss confirms my recollection of tho
mistiness of tho night. We remembered
Itraftcrward as an omen of evil.
We pansed on to Tenth Street, and hav
ing entered tho thoater, we took stats
dlaganallv opposite tho president's -'box;
and upen tho same floor. Tho president's
'box was upon tho second floor. ; which
was twelve feet and eight Inches abovo
"tho stage, Tho two boxes upon that floor
had boon thrown Into ono by removing
tho partition between them. The box was
festoone4 with flags, so that wo knew It
was the president's,
.SMtlW for the Trnuedy.
Tho play commenced nnd had been In
progress quite a while, pernas half an
hour, when tho president came Inv Ho
was greeted with a' storm of applause ;as
lie passed on to his box. Ho waa'accom
panled by Mrs. Lincoln. MIsb Harris and
Major ltathtiun. General Grant had con
cluded not to come and was then on. his
way to Philadelphia.
Mr. Lincoln took a seat In tho armchair
(a rocking chair) at the side next to the
audience. Mrs. Lincoln was at Ills rlghti
near tho center of the box, and Miss Har
ris at tho further side. Major nathbun
wiis seated on the sofa, near Miss Harris
a little back from tho front. Mr, Lincoln,
for the first time during my knowlcdgo of
him. seomcd cheerful and happy. 1 had
I seen him often during his presidential
term, commencing with his Inauguration
tin J6C1. and a sadder face I neVer saw
Hut now the load seemed lifted and every
vestige of care and anxiety had passed
'away. He seemed to enjoy tho play very
j much. The play was the "American
Cousin" and Laura Keene Was the star
of the evening.
Everything passed on very pleasant un
til about 10 o'clock or a llttlo later. It
was In the third act, In the milkmaid
scene, when ono of my friends-called my
attention to the president's box, with tho
remark, "There's a reporter going to sea
father Abraham." I looked and saw a
man standing at tha door of the presi
dent's box, with his hat on and looking
down upon tho stage. Presently ho took
I nut a card case, or something of that
I kind, from Ms side pocket and took out
1 a cant It U said that ho showed It to
'the president's messenger outsldo, but I
saw nothing of that kind, in fact. I saw
no other man there aside from those
seated In tho audience. He took oft hU
hat. and put hU hand upon the door
knob, and went into the little hall or
corridor, back of the box. I then turned
to tho play. Presently, I cannot Bay how
soon, It may have been two, three or
five minutes, I heard a pistol shot. I
turned to tha president's box and saw 'a
man flash to the front, with a faco as
whlto us snow, and hair as black as a
ravqn.
Thr l.rnp nnd thr Shout.
My flrBt Impression was that It was
par( of the olay. The man put his left
hand upon tue ironi railing ana went
over, not with a clean sweep, but with
a kind of scramble, first one leg and
jk I then the othtr. H evidently was his Inn
y i.nilnn . i Mwltit rtu. n u'l. awlni? nv.r
fence, but his spur, as afterward ap
pealed, caught In the flag, hence the
icrumblc.
As ho went over, or possibly after
reaching the stuge. he shouted very
loftily nnd distinctly, "Slo semper ity
ruimlsl"' and then for the first' timet It
Mashed, upon me that the whblo thing
meant titaaasloatlon. The Virginia coat
of-arms, With I device, had been faml
liar to me from ctlldhpod, and of course
with "8tc semptt tyrannls" ringing
dearly through the hall, I understood It
' at once. The man struck the floor, ind
sunk down partly, 'but lmm;dutly rose
up and bradiihlng.a dqublo-ei)ge4 dagger,
which glittered In the gaslight, he passed
llagnolly across the stage, 'with his faco
to the audience, and went nut. He did
not run. It was a swift stage walk, and
was evidently studied beforehand, Ilk
everything else he did for effsct. It Is
raid his leg was broken by the fall, but
t saw no evidence pf It In his gait.
l'or a tnomsnV there wis a stillness o
death. The a.udqnce eemed paralysed.
No sound whatever came from the box
that I heard. It Is said in tha various
accounts that Mrs. Lincoln shrieked. 1
eard no shriek. Major Ttathbun test!
. ic,' that he shouted ' Stop that man. '
'khiiI nothing of that kind, and I be 1
lleve I could havn heard a whisper 1 '
saw Mr. Lincoln sitting In his chair with
his head dropped on his breast, but In
all other rospeets he retained the position j
he had before he was shot. Quite a little
Interval passed before anything was said
or done. By Interval I mean twenty,
thirty or forty seconds, which under
such circumstances seem a long time. 1
Then some of tho audience rose up, others
sat still. Here and there Inquiries came
as to whether the president was hurt.,
In company with Major Itottor (a pay
master In the army) I started for the box,
but before we got there others had found
that It was barred Inside. In the mean
time Miss Keene had gone Into the box
from the stage entrance, nnd perhaps
one or two others; at any rate an Inquiry
was made for a surgeon, and a crowd
gathered around the box. There was no
'uproar or confusion atrany time. After n
few moments the door was opened and
Mr. Lincoln was Carried out along the
back side of the drbss circle and out at
the front. I 'was close behind, and as we
went downstairs I noticed a splash of
blood on every step. His face was very
pate, and the stamp of death upon It,
which once seen, riliely deceives us.
As we reached tho street tho news be
gan to co mo of dther assassinations. The
vice president had been killed; Mr. Sew
ard had been murdered, also Mr. Stan
ton. In fact the air was full of rumors
of blood and for a short tlmo It looked
os If there might be a-rfe,cond St. Bar
tholomew In progress. I Immediately
passed down Tenth street for ,a sight of
tho signal station upon tho Winder bulld
,lng, and soon saw1' signals to the army,
and answers from tho fortifications, and
know that any uprising would bo quickly
suppressed. Mr. Lincoln was taken Into
a dwelling house ndross from tho theater,
April IS, nnd 'then died. This closing

porters Bobert H. Patchln of tho New

tho Philadelphia; Inquirer. In accordance
with custom they wero Initiated In tho
presence, pf the company, tho ceremony
taking the form of practical examina
tion of tho candidates in reportorlal
work.
Testing his general Information, ono
was asked wners tne uomocrauc irnny
Is mentioned In scripture, to which ho
replied: "In tho Book of Psalms, Tho
wild asses did stand' In high places, they
snuffed up the wind "ko dragons; their
eyes did fail,- because mere was no
grassi"
"Are tho progressives mentioned ,any-
whero?"
"Yes, In tho Book of Houca; 'They aro
all hot as an dven, and have devoured
their Judges', they have sown tho wind,
and they shall ronp tho whirlwind.'
As to tho republlcun party?"

Dr, Itoosevelt, tho psalmist suyst "The
wrath of tho people came upon them, nnd

Tho musical feature of tho evening was
parody upon tho "Chimes ' of Nor-
inundy," In this Instance replaced by
the "Liberty Boll." Like tho original
chimes this bell was supposed to ring
out only upon tho roturn to his castle
(In this case tha Whlto House) ot the
rightful heir, Mr, Jeffersonlan Demo
cracy, something of a philosopher, some
thing' of a. political economist, something
of an orator and somothlng ot an his
torian (of course, tho llkenoss being to
President Wilson), but nbovo all tho
patriot, who loves tho llbcry bell ot 1776;"
In musical rryme It was told how the
liberty bell had become silent and vigil
ance slept while mon chased the dollars,
and around gathered the grim spectres
who would not depart until they heard
tho bell.
What the HIiosU Say,
These ghosts spoke for themselves, too,
us follows:
FIItT GHOST:
Tho ghost of high protection,
Oneo ha mn tho shop,
81 nee tho last election
Ho has no placu to stop.
tjliCOND 'GHOST (Dollur Diplomacy):
Once I wus respected
For my bonds and rents,
Now I am disconnected.
And feel like thirty cents.
THIHD GHOST (Monopoly):
Though they have consigned me
Often to the pond,
Somewhere, they will find me,
Alwuyu hanging round.
FOUUTH OHOST (Imperialism):
.Once u spectre hearty.
Now I'm on the shelf;
Bryan told his party
He'd boss the Job himself.
And the bell pealod, and tho ghosts
shrunk uway, and the chorus sung!
We think we've found tho man' to ring
mat dcii.
Woodrow Wilson, you'ro
ring that bell.

Ground was conveyed to a town to bo
used as a graveyard and was dedicated
to the public use as such, relates the
Docket.1 Many years thereafter, and.
when many dead had been burled therein.
the cemetery was abandoned for a new
ones. Tho town still controlled the old
cemetery, but suffered It to grow up In
briers and brush, and it became In bad
condition In appearance. Later the town
sold It to one Couch for 11.000 because It
was no longer of any use and was a con

ITS DOUBLE USE

after n Journey from Ilomu to Klliabeth
vllle, nearly 3.W0 miles in distance ao
companled only by a few native serv
ants, and tolls the .story of her travels'
to tho London Mirror. j
' She left Boma on January Mv'last. and,
after passing through districts whew
whlto women have nover been 'seep be
fore, arrived at "J3HsabtUvllle on. Sep
tember 1. taking a train from there U
Cape Town. . ,
At one tline she nearly died ot blaok
water fever, while, at another she nar
rowly escaped "being gored to death, .by;
a buffalo. 0,ne of the most, humorous
and yet rather ' grewsome Incidents' of
the Journey. ald .Mrs. Jtjby, occurred'
near Madlba. Sho arrived at a vtllago
where no missionaries. Belgian otflcers
or white women had ever been seeiu. be
fore. Her appearance vausHd greab ex
bltement. and eventually the ohief 'came
forward with a present the leg ot a
black man who had been killed the day
before.
Mrs. Itoby was bonified She made
tho mart understand that white otticers
with soldiers would come, and punish
him for It. But tho chief, a' cannibal,
with a. dry sense, of humor, misunder
stood. "Oh, yes," ho replied quietly,
"I have heurd of the whlto rofticers.
They aro nice and' fat! They will bo
good to cat."-
.At- this, place there aro .two tribes, ot
natives, tho Bdliundas.nnd tho Uapendas, '
said Mrs. 'Koby. "The. former eat dogs
hnd tha latter men." , ,
.As a means of getting on good, terms
With native chiefs Mrs. Roby found that
her' slight knowledge of' '.medicine and
powr qf performing minor operations
wero- most valuable. At Salnta this'
knowledge , practically saved her lite.
Sho had Just crossed a. native Dridgo
when a number of men rushed fawaro
her aimed, with. spears. Her boys (serv
ants) caled ou "Medicine ladyt" and
ttyu crowd of natives, at once stopped
and became respectfui. ' The chief dt
tuts village then appeared. ' His face
was badly swollen with toothache,
."Ho cams up to me, pointed to his
faco and' asked It I could cure his pain,"
:said, Mrs. .ltoby. ' "I looked Into his
mouth and . found that he had a large
abscess, p.n th.o gunr. Fortunately I had
a .small surgical knlfo ' with me, and 1
managed to lance the- abscess' very suc
cessfully. The chief was delighted and
gave me several ' presents. On -other
occasions I Was ' able to help iatlvcs
"who had had .accidents or were III.' On
another occasion, at Klmpukt, Mrs Koby
went out on a search for lions to Bhoot

ambitions. "Fortune favored me," she
Bald," for we had' not gone far before i
"boy pointed excitedly to an. opening1 Jn
the forest." Thorc'wero three lions mere:
I had the great opportunity of-my life
but did I do? I was afraid, I turned
round mid ran as fast as I could for
the camp."
During part pf the time Mrs. Roby
wore her -hair In a "plait down her back
"When J 'was staying In a village tttlng
down resting natlveVwonien would tome
.up aid stroke my hair,", she sald'U'ney
would oomo up very quietly, touch the
plait and sigh deeply. I found-that they
envied my soft hair. Women are the
fame the world over." Once, when In
camp at night, this plucky -woman ex
Dlorer heard a noise, she says, like "an
-army crashing jdown through the trees.1
It was an elephant passing through tho
forest. '
In Julv Mrs. Roby caught the black
water feyer. Her temperature, gradually
rose to 106.2 degrees, hq could' eat
nothing. If Ke once gave In and re
lapsed she kne,w that h,6 wits , almost
certain to die. And on Jufy 6 came the
crisis. Mrs Roby showed this entry' In
her diary, written In a strangling hand-
"July 6, WIS Kyembe Makula. Temp.
106.!. Think I shall peg out."
liven when threatened with such a
tragic death thousands of. miles from
home, Mrs. Roby seems to have preserved
har serine, .of humor.
DAY OF' SKYSCRAPER PASSING

Officials.
Borough President McAneny of New

when. '.that .typo of , architecture), w.ould

scribing somo of the features of the pro

pointed by' thfc Board of Efttjmate and
Apportionment to regulate, the height

that a bill soon would be presented to
the legislature providing-' for the crea
tion of a special .commission on "city
planning and the city beautiful." The
commission, ho said, would make so
many drastic changes and Improvements
that the citizens of the metropolis would
not recognize some sections of It In the
next decade.
"New Vorkhas not only lagged behind
many foreign cities, but even benind
American cities as to correct elty plan
