The Greatest Tradgedy Again
Under Discussion.
IS SURE BOOTH WAS SHOT
Mr. D. Eldridge Monroe Who Was a
Member of the Guard of Charles
County MD. Organized to Hunt
Down the Slayer of Abraham Lincoln
Probably the Only Witness Left.
"The recent revival of the discus
sion of the qurwtlon whether or not
J. Wilkes linoth was shot and killed
In a barn In Virginia by Corbet," snys
Mr. I). Eldrdjre Monroe, the well
known lawyer, "brngs to my mind a
number of after events In connection
with tho great trajredy of the assassl
nation of Lincoln ami In which events
I was a participant. I ihave never had
a doubt that Itooth was killed.
"I was a member of the Gunrd
of Charles County, Maryland, organ
ized to hunt down nnd rapture tho
slnyer of the President. On the last
day of our service we were at a point
on the Maryland shore of the Poto
mac, nearly oppoxlte Smith's Point, on
the Virginia shore. An ottlcer from
one of the United States Riinbnnts,
then at anchor in tho Potomac, was
rowed ashore to ascertain who . we
were. When Informed of our object
be told us that we could disband, as
Booth had been shot and killed nnd
bis body was then on a boat, which he
polntnd out, ready to be t.iken to
Washington. lie offered to take any
of the ollicors of our command who
so desired to view Itooth'n body. None
of thorn went. We all accepted the
oltlcer's statement as true, and. as we
had been three days nnd nights al
most continuously In the saddle and
were tired and sleepy, we Immediately
proceeded homeward, ("apt. P. II.

"I do not know of any witness In
tho famous Lincoln conspiracy trial
now living except myself. I think It
prohnble I am the only one. The In
cidents of the trial are as clear In my
memory as though it had taken place
yesterday. One of them taught me a
lesson I have never forgotten, (ien.
Kwing. the senior counsel for the de
fence, not Hied me one morning that
ho would call mo as a witness that
afternoon. Tho court about midday
took a recess. I understood for an hour.
I went leisurely from the Arsenal to
Anacoatln, where I kept my horses,
and as leisurely returned to the Ar
senal. "As I was entering the building
whero the trial was held the guard
stopped me. I told him I was a wit
ness. He said the court had adjourn
ed and asked me my name. I gave It
to him. 'They have called you sev
eral times this afternoon,' he replied,
'and I think there Is an order out for
your arrest.' I confess I felt rather
uneasy. A short while afterward I
learned as a fact that there was an
order out for my arrest. I went to a
quiet out-of-the-way hotel, secured a
room nnd remained there till morn
ing. ' I went early In the morning to the
Arsenal and, on his arrival, explained
tho matter to (Jen. Kwlng. He took
me to Judge Advocate, General Holt,
who ihad the order for my arrest re
scinded. I
"After I had given my evidence Pro- '
Tost Marshal Ilartranft, afterward
Governor of Penusylvjnla, Jokingly
said to me: 'Young man, we ought
not to allow you any witness fees; you
pave us too much trouble yesterday.'
I told him I was not particular about
petting witness fees. 'Well,' he ans
wered, 'thre Is one thing you will
have to get and that is an order for
your horses.' They had not found me,
but tihey found my horses and put
them under guard. I got both an
order for the release of my horses
and for witness fees also. I was
young then, but I do not think I hava
Im e been late at any time In attend
ing a court where my presence was
required." lialtlmore Sun.
Some Precocious Young Ladles.
Washington seems to be producing
some curious specimens of precocious
young girls of late. A flfteen-year old
girl of Spokane stvle the contents of
her grandfather's purse to buy a
trousseau for her coming marriage
save the mark! A girl of thirteen at
Whatcom threatened to kill herself
because her parents objected to her
engagement to a boy of sixteen. Then
she went out into the woods and Bred
two shots in the nlr to make her par
ents believe that she had carried out
her threat while she walked to a
neighboring town and secured work.
We shall hear of children in the kind
ergarten elopng before long. In fact,
a truant oflicer who went after a
lourteen year old girl found her mar
ried and busy in the kitchen. Seattle

Radium's Heat.
Prof. Rutherford publishes a note
in Nature describing recent experi
ments to test the question us to
whether the heat emission of radium
is connected with Its radio-activity.
He states that It is closely connected
with It; that deemanated radium gives
off but ao per cent, of its normal heat
utput; that the emanation contains
the remaining 70 per cent, and that
as the latter loses this, the original
radium muss regains its heating pow
er. He holds that these results sup
port the disintegration hypothesis re

A VERY WET CITY.
New Orleans Has to Be Pumped Dry
After Every Rain.
Tho city of New Orleans, like moat
of the land at each side of the Mis
sissippi Hlver In the alluvial country,
lies considerably below the high wa
ter line of the Mississippi Hlver. The
whole city would be Inundated by the
river occasionally If It were not pro
tected by a levee iilon the river
front. The Hty Is also protected by
levees running nt right angles to the
river, one above the city and one he
low It, and also by a levee along the
shore of Lake Pontchartraln nnd by
levees along the banks of the various
canals which reach from that lake
Into the territory of the municipality.
New Orleans Is so near the mouth
of the river that the land upon which
the city Is built Is not only lower
than the high water stage of the river,
but Is In part lower than the level of
the Gulf of Mexico and of the vari
ous lakes In the vicinity of the city.
Therefore, there la no natural drain
age for the land Inclosed by the levees
surrounding the town. The rain wa
ter that falls upon this area has to
be pumped, so as to force It Into
I.nke Ponr-ohartniln or Lake Horgne.
The city Itself covers a large urea, al
though the major portion of Its area
Is not built up as a city. The part at
present chletly occupied by buildings
consists of a strip a mile or so wide
along the bank of the river.
This area Is the subject of rainfalls,
the greatest of which for many years
has been about 7 1-2 Inches within
twenty-four hours, which Is equiva
lent to a cube of water N70 feet loni;
wide and deep. Of course, such a rain
occurs only at very rare Intervals. In
before work on the new drainage
system was commenced, records were
kept of the amount of rainfall each
year, and these records have been
continued until the present time. Dur
ing the month of July, ls:i, :vt,:'AK
8.'t cubic feet of water were drained
away from about half the total area
Included In the drainage plan. Tills
discharge for one month Is equivalent
to a cube of water tkS." feet on each
edge, or to lake ten miles long, tan)
feet wide and ten feet deep, or to a ca
nal eighty miles long forty feet wide
and twenty feet deep. Knglneerlng

Egg Led to Wedding.
"On this day, the day of our wed
ding, I shall eat nothing but eg-js, Tor
It was through an eg? that I won my
wife." said George Malcolm, of
Cleveland, ns he ordered a dinner
which consisted of egijs In every style
and description known to the chef of
a Chicago hotel.
"I have wild that It was because of
an egg that I first found the woman
who has become my wife," he con
tlpued, with n glance at Mrs. Malcolm,
"nnd I will tell you how It occurred.
Just one year ago I arrived In Chicago
and registered at the Wellington Ho
tel, white making a pleasure trip In
the lake regions. The first thing that
I ordered was an egg. and on receiv
ing It I found in dainty penciled lines
on the shell, 'Rose Kdmond, Aber
deen), Ohio.' I wrote to her the fol
lowing nltfht, and to-day she Is my
wife," he added. -That is why I am
so partial to eggs. Can anybody
blame me?"
Mrs. Malcolm admitted that she
hud written her name upon the egg,
but said she little thought' at the time
It would win her n husband. "It was
while packing eggs to be sent to Chi
cago," she said, "that I thought It
would be fun to write my name on
one of thm and see if I would ever
hear from where It was sent." Mil

The Queen's Lace Hsndkerchief.
In the time of Queen Ionna Maria
Segunda there was a particularly
beautiful rnyal Infanta at court, who,
however, entirely spoiled her beauty
by her overbearing pride toward all
those beneath her. At the court ball
a young Kngllsh naval officer found
himself by a mistake dancing within
the royal lancers, Into which set he
had wandered heedlessly In the Intri
cacies of tho dance. The lnfunta
promptly espied him, und her wrath
knew no bounds, especially as she Im
mediately realized that in a few sec
onds she would actually have to touch
his band in the grande chalne the
hand of ii nobody! a mere naval otH
cer! Quick as thought, on the young mat
approaching her, Instead of her royal
fingers she held out to him the iiera
of her lace handkerchief with s l.ioli
of Infinite disdain. He suw j,nl un
derstood both the look nnd the ac
tion, and calmly and smilingly daintily
wiped the tip of his nose with the bit
of lace, and gracefully returned it to
the astounded princess! Kansas City

Strange Relic Pound in the
Den of a Showman.
ONE CHRISTMAS DINNER
Told by the Old Circus Man A Strik
ing Event In the Giant's Life Re
Called by a Singular Souvenir.
"That?" said the old circus man,
following the eye of his visitor, which
bad rested upon something hanp'ng
on the wall of the old showman's den,
"Why, that's an ostrich's wishbone, a
souvenir of the great giant. It eame
out of an ostrich that we baked one
year for the giant's Christmas din
ner. "You see, an ordinary ten, twelve,
fifteen-pound turkey would be to the
giant about the same as a quail would
be to us, he was so big; and every
winter we used to scour the country
'round about the town where the show
made Its winter quarters for a twen
ty live pound turkey so as to have a
bird that would come somewhere
near to being In proH)rtion with htm,
for the great giant's Christmas din
ner. Of course, even such a turkey
used to look like a pigeon beside him.
and one winter, when we were talking
over the giant's coming Christmas
dinner the old man says, 'I!y gracious
let's give the giant this year, for once
In his life, anyhow something like;
let's give him n baked ostrich.'
"That, of course, you understand,
meant a very costly dinner. Now,
when these great birds are raised In
this country. I suppose you can buy
good-sized ostrlchs for somewhere
about a couple of hundred dollars
apiece, but the ostrlchs we had. nt
that time, cost us ?7.'0 a pair. Rut
wo had had that year a phenomenal
ly good season, with the great giant
easily our greatest attraction, nnd
there was never anything too good for
the giant, anyway, and so when the
subject came up the old man says, like
that:
"Let's give him, this year, an
ostrich,' and we did.
"There wasn't any fouble at all
about cooking the bird. We bad n big
brick oven, that we'd built ourselves
to bake bread In, nnd we baked the
ostrich In that, without the slightest
difficulty, and beautifully baked It
turned out, too; the chief cook him
self, of course, looking after the cook
ing of it.
"It took two men to bring the baked
ostrich in, at that Christmas dinner,
and the two men walking down the
room with it, on a great wooden plat
ter, keeping step ail the way, was cer
tainly a sight to see; and when they
had set this great bird, nicely
browned, down on the table In front
of the giant, and you hud looked from
It to him, and from him to it, why,
you felt that It was worth the money;
that this, ns the old man had set out
j to have It, was for once, anyway,
: really something like.
"Great as tho old man was In plan
ning on a great scale, he never for
got or neglected the details; he hadn't
I provided a baked ostrich for the
giant's dinner and then left the great,
i man to try to carve this great bird
j with an ordinary carving knife and
; fork. No; he had provided him for
! this occasion with a carving knife hav
; Ing a blade longer and wider 'n a sabre
I blade, and n fork to match. And this
carving knife and fork the giant pick
ed up and proceeded to carve with.
Just as if they'd been of ordinary size,
which, of course, they reully was to
him.
.' "The giant was as generous as he
was great, and It never occurred to
bim but what others could eat as
much as he did. He carved off a sec
ond Joint of the ostrich and sent It
around to the old man, on one of the
platters that the cook bud sent In to
use for plates.
"No, no!' says the old man, when
he sees that second Joint coming. 'You
keep that yourself. Don't rob your
self.' "Rut the giant wouldn't listen to
him; he Insisted on the old man keep
ing it. And he would have sent me
the other second joint, but I told him
I'd rather have a drumstick.
"That drumstick, you know, had
more meat on It than a good sized
ham, so that there would have been,
even If I had liked it, a good deal
more of It than I wanted nnyway.
But, say! While It may not be, as
they say In the Congress debates, ex
actly germane to the subject. I'd like
to say, Just personally to you, that if
I bad money enough so that I could
afford to buy pretty much anything I
wanted to eat I never should spend
very much of it on baked ostrich.
That I bad at the giant's dinner was
the first I ever eat I don't think 1
should miss It much If I never had
any more.
"But the giant? Well, the great
giant actually seemed to like It he
ate away on It as if he did, anyway
and in the course of time, in carving,
when he came to the wishbone and
carved that out he held It up nnd
smiled. He didn't do this because it
was so big, which It wasn't, In fact, to
btm, but Just as every carver does
when he comes to the wishbone
everybody holds up the wishbone; but
the rest of us smiled a little over its
size, when we saw it as you see it
there now on the wall; a wishbone
with arms two feet long.
"After dinner the giant hung the
ostrich's wishbone on a harness peg
in the ball to dry, and a week later,
one day, he asked me to break it with
him and wish. And we two pulled
n that wishbone till we pulled it
poofy near straight and then never
cracked It; you'd thought It was made
of a combination of steel and gutta
percha. And then the giant hung It
up on tho harness peg again, to dry
some more, and there It bung till we
were to take the road again, In the
spring, and then the giant gave It to
mo and I've had the big wishbone
around somewhere, ever slnco, and
Juki coiiio across It again to-day."
NOT INSANE.
The Curious Case Related of Henry
Wicks.
Medico-legal authorities have lately
been much Interested In the case of
one Henry Wicks, a Wisconsin farmer,
who lived near I A Crosse. In 1882,
while in a drunken frenzy, he tried
to kill himself and was sent to an
asylum ns a suicidal maniac. A year
later his wife secured a divorce and
married again. Last week a Jury of
physicians reported to the court that
Wicks was quite sane, nnd one of the
physicians went so far as to say that
he doubted that Wicks bad ever been
InsAne. Rut tlds same Jury found that
Wicks had become so embittered
ngainst his wife and children that he
threatened to kill them once he was
at liberty. Ho has no delusions con
cerning the contemplated act. He
knows that It would be a crime, and
appreciates the consequences. He Is
willing to assume the responsibility
for the death ot those who, he Is
convinced, have done him such a great
wrong. On this account, the physi
cians, although declaring him quite
sane mentally and morally responsi
ble for his acts refuse to recommend
his release. They hold that to do so
would be to open the door to murder
and the court agrees with them. So
it stands that Wicks, sane after twenty-one
years of confinement as a mad
man, must spend the rest of his life
In an asylum, unless some way ran be
found to ward against ull possibility of
his doing murder.
I A Robin in Extremis.
I Io birds commit suicide? It would
seem from circumstantial evidence
that they do. This morning while pass
ing a large sycamore tree In the State
I'niversity grounds, I happened by
some crtance to look up Into tho tree,
and there I saw a robin about twenty
feet from the ground banging to a
string by the neck. Each end of the
string was wrapped around limbs
about eighteen inches npart, and the
middle was wound around the robin's
neck, so that it was hanging about
midway between tho two limbs. I at
first thought It was dead, but while
l(x :dng at It, I saw Its wings move,
when I rushed Into one of the build
ings, got a ladder and soon bad It
rei-cucd.
Its life was nearly gone, hut sf'er
a little while it revived and tlew away.
A partly built nest in the tree would
Indicate that It was carrying a strln?
to put in with its building material,
and in some way became entangled in
tho string with th above result.

Chicago Imports Her Valets.
Employment agencies In Chicago
say they have but little call for valets.
There are a good many men In Chica
go who have such luxuries as valets,
but according to the managers of the
employment agencies these valets are
all imported either from abroad or
down east.
I The native-born Chicago valet, or
even one supplied by a Chicago agen
cy, would be regarded as an imita
tion article. The good valet, like the
good accent, is only acquired abroad.
The valet most In demand Is the
Kngllsh one, and masters like It best
if they can pick him for themselves
In bis native heath. Tart of the joy
ot having a valet is saying: "Faith
ful fellow, that. Picked him up my
self In England. I'sed to be valet for
Lord Tuppenny. Very glad, though,
of a chance to go with me. You
couldn't tempt him away." Chicago

Strength of Mushrooms.
A curious Instance of the wonderful
force exerted by growing vegetation is
related In the Gardeners' Magazine.
This force seems all the more remark'
able when exerted by light and unsub
stantial mushrooms, but does not ap
pear so extraordinary when caused by
the expansion of a hard-wood tree. A
. few weeks ago some half-hardy an
' nuals were sown In a frame just
j cleared of a winter crop in the gar-
1 dens of Kelsey Park, Reckenham, and
j the lights closed to hasten germina
tion. Some days afterwards signs of
cracking were observed in the brick
work, and gradually a block weighing
in the aggregate one ana one nan nun
dredwelght was pushed out of position.
After cutting out several bricks a mass
of mushrooms was found, three pounds
three ounces in weight, growing In the
centre of the wall. The mycelium had
run freely In the mortar and on the
inner face of the bricks.

Appendicitis Talk
Consul General Guenther reports
to the Stbte Department, from state
ments contained in German papers,
that appendicitis, or inflammation
of the vermiform appendix, has
assumed the character of incoming
more and more a fashionable dis
ease. Surgery has achieved gteat
triumphs in this sphere, and has
cured innumerable cases of the dis
ease. The French Surgeon Roux,
however, has asked the question,
" Is appendicitis over if one carries
his appendix in his pocket? " and
his answer was not entirely affirma
tive. From the statements of Dr.
Frederick Trevcr, one of the fore
most authorities and physician of
King Kdward, similiar doubts ap
pear. According to the experiences
of this great expert, failures may
occur, which he treats in two
groups. Oh the one hand, the opera
tion may only result in relief or an
incomplete cure ; on the other hand,
complications are to be feared which
do not depend upon the surgical
intervention. Only the surgeon is
concerned to study the details of
the deductions of Dr. Treves in or
der to more fully learn of the event
ual dangers which may follow an
operation. For the patients, it must
be stated that an operation remains
the pre-eminent remedy, if not the
only one, from which a complete
cure is to be expected.
Dr. Pond, of Liverpool, has ad
vanced a new theory with reference
to the origin of appendicitis and
other disturbances ot the digestive
organs, in "The Lancet." He calls
attention to the fact that such ail
ments can often be attributed to
antimonial poisoning, and the
source of the antimony taken up by
man is said to be the rubber rings
which are frequently used to close
all sorts of Lotties. Dr. Pond has
established the fact that such rings
consist of almost one-third their
weight of antimony. The antimony
is not only dissolved by the mineral
waters, containing alkalies and
organic acids, but these rubber
rings, as daily observation shows,
soon become brittle, and some of
the compound falls into the con
tents of the vessels.

Sources of Typhoid
In view of the present preval
ence of typhoid fever in many large
cities and other localities, the Pub
lic Health and Marine Hospital ser
vice has had published an advance
statement of the discussion on ty
phoid at the recent annual confer
ence of State and Territorial health
authorities. The publication show
clearly how widespread is the dan
ger from this disease, and that the
methods of infection are startlingly
numerous.
In the popular belief, impure
drinking water is the chief source
of typhoid, but the discussion at
the conference showed convincing
ly that personal contact was the
source of a great majority of the
cases. One of the danger sources
is from sea food. The lobster in
dustry of the Maine coast, whence
several hundred barrels of lobsters
are sent out daily, alter being kept
in floating traps, originates much
typhoid. Many of these floating
traps are close to mouths of sewers.
Infected houses, bedding, clothing,
eating utensils and the like are con
sidered largely responsible in all
epidemics.
