Ford' theater, the scene of the
recent terrible disaster at Washing
ton, In which so many were killed
nnd Injured, was, as Is well known,
tho scene of Lincoln's assassination,
AmtAnAH LIXI'OIN.
tho most tragic n.i well as the most
pathetic incident In all our national
history. Tho superstitious may Fee
In It divine interference, and It Is at
any rnto a oueer confidence that at
tho very hour when words of prayer
and benediction were belnjf spoken
over tho lifeless clayof Kdwln Hooth,
tho brother of Lincoln's mtirdorer.tho
building, which had witnessed .lohn
Wilkes Month's awful crimo, should
crumble into dust.
Early April, W marked a time
of Joy which this country had not
felt for many years. The black and
heavy storm clouds of war were pass
ing away and the fair sun of peace
was shining forth and fertilizing the
seeds of hope In every heart. The
Confederate government had evac
uated Richmond on the 2d,
Leo ' and Johnson had surrender
ed nnd those under tho eon
mand of Gen. Klrby Smith had lain
down their arms. April 11 President i
Lincoln had delivered an address In !
which, as If awed unconsciously by
some dire feeling of the end creeping
upon him, he spoke with a dignity
and pathos never before heard. It
was his last public utterance. He
spoke of the recent victories for which
he himself took no credit, and laid
joiis wii.krs noorn.
down certain broud lines for u policy
,of reconstruction. As to tho question
whether the Confederate States were
outside tho Union ho said: "Let us
all Join iu doing the acts noccssary to
restoring the proper practical rela
tions between these State and tho
Union, nnd each forever after Inno
cently Indulge his own opinion
whether lu doing the acts ho brought
the Stutos from without into tho
Union, or only fjavo them proper as
sistance, they never having been out
side tbo Union."
At Ford's Thoater.
On tho 14th, before his Cabinet,
Lincoln developed the same policy
and met with no dissent. At this
time apparently ho felt that tho
heavy load of responsibility being
llghtenod from his shoulders he might
well lndulgo In some amusement and
relaxation. Accordingly he accepted
a box from the management of
ford's Theater on 10th street, where
Laura Kcone was playing the comedy,
"Our American Cousin." The house
was crowded with tho most distin
guished peoplo in Washington, for
all the city felt tbo natural guyety of
the time, and as the Lincoln party
entered, tbo audience rose and ap
pluuded tumultously. The orches
tra played "Hall to tho Chief" and
tho President came to tho front of
his box, which was on the second tier
Immediately to tbo left of the stage.

TVith him wore Mrs. Lincoln, Mist

the flag, wl.lch wus used asadrapcry,
however, and he fell heavily, break- j
lng his leg. He stalked theatrically
across the stage, and, in the middle,
waving a bloody knife, cried out: "Slu
semper tyrannls. Tho .South Is
avenged." Tho bewildered audience
did not gain an understanding of the
facts until ho had disappeared nnd
then wild and tumultuous cries broke
out, "Stop him, he has shot the I resl
dent." Some leaped upon the stage,
while many rusned to the President's
box. There Lincoln was found, the
blood pouring from his death wound,
while Major Itathbone was discovered
to have been wounded In the sldo by
the assassin's knife. Tenderly was

several desperate men were engaged.
They conspired to abduct President
Lincoln, but tho closing of the war
rendered this impracticable. Then
those who were most Influential
abandoned tho matter, but there
wero still some who resolved on
bloody und violent measures. Chief
of these were John Wilkes Hooth,
Atzrott, and Puyno. These men re
solved to assassinate Lincoln, Grant,
und Seward. Hooth was chosen to
assassinate the President, Atarott was

to murder Grunt, while Payne was
to make away with Secretary Seward.
L'ooth, on the fatal evening, knowing
that the President was in tbo tho
utor, went to the box otllce and, pro
ducing a curd, told the attendant
that Lincoln had sent for lilui. He
wus allowed access to tho cor
ridor on which Lincoln's box
opened without question. He
quietly bored u gimlet hole In
the b('X door, and so obtuincd u view
of bis victim. Then he pulled u pis
tol und tired. As the President sunk
back unconscious Hooth dashed into
the box, und drawing a long kulfo
stabbed Muj. Itathbone, who bud
grappled with him.- Suddenly he let
go bis hold and leaped to the stage.
Notwithstanding his broken leg
Booth reached tbo strot, being us
isted by Ned Spangler, a stage car
penter, who was la tho plot. Here a
horse was in waiting for hi in, and he
rode thirty ullos into Maryland.
There be stopped to have his leg et
by Dr. Mudd, another conspirator,
and then crossed the Potomac Into
Virginia. A party of pursuers bad
started after him from Washington,
and be was overtaken April go at

Garrett's farm, nar Howling Green,
bout twenty miles from Fredericks
burg. He had taken refuge In a barn,
and refusing to surrender was shot,
dying soon after.
Tha Othar Conspirators.
Hooth was the only one who man
aged to accomplish his desperate
deed. Payne went to the house of
tho Secretary of State, who was In
bed sick. He forcod his way Into the
house and up stairs, where he was
met by Mr. Seward's son. Payne
grappled with him and wounded htm
quite severely. Then going Into Mr.
Seward's room, he hacked at the sick
man und at the nurse, causing great
bloodshed, though no death, and
Anally lied.
Atzrott found the murder of Gen.
Grant Impossible of accomplishment,
(irant was surrounded all day long
by friends, and the would-be assas
sin could get no chance at him. Mrs,
Mirratt, a boarding-house keeper,
where Hooth, Atzrott. and Payne
lived, knew of the. plot to abduct
Lincoln, though probably not of the
one to kill him. Her son was also
thought at 1 he time to be concerned
In the murder. Other conspirators
were McLoughlln and Harold, the
last of whom was a somewhat weak
minded young man, who helped by
having n horse in readiness for ltooth's
escape from the theater. These all
were brought to punishment. At
rott, Payne, Harold, and Mrs. Sunatt
were hanged; Dr. Mudd. Ned
Spangler and McLoughlln were sent
to the Iry Tortugas. Mrs. Surratt's
son rs' aped to Canada. Eventually
he was discovered setvlng In the
Pupal Zouaves. He was tried, but
was found to have been Innocent of
any attempt at murder, and was acquitted.
Writ Knrnail.
"Though not a beauty, I have tho
reputation of being a popular wo
man," said Minerva, "but no one
knows how hurd I worked to gain my
success. 1 have studied the art of
conversation in all Its phases, nnd
know when to talk and when to be
silent. 1 keep a notebook at hand,
and every quaint expression, every
good story, every amusing thing I see
or reail or heur, which I think will
work up Into a telling sentenco. down
It goes In classltled order. Then I
just sit down and cram for a dinner
as a schoolgirl does for examination.
My mind is like my gown: after It is
once ready I think no more about It.
1 try to find out tho people I am to
meet, what they are interested in,
and then I lead up to appropriate
topics, Introducing them as adroitly
as possible, till In the gaps with ray
nonsense, and get people to talking.
That Is tho way to entertain them.
Kvcry human being Is happier in tell
ing a good story than hearing one. I
on co went down to dinner with a
famous man talker, and not feeling as
well as usual, contrived to keep him
talking In order to prevent tho peo
plo from noticing my silence. The
next day ho told everybody I was tho
brightest woman ho ever saw. That
was my cue, and I have never forgot
ten It. The machinery does not
show; hut I usually go homo from a
dinner as weary as a ballet girl after
the performance. It Is much easier
to say tho bright thing than to make
some one else say It, but an avowedly
smart woman is n mistake. Men arc
ufrald of her, and even women aro
not at case In her vicinity."
A 4intl Hint.
The attorney bad made a motion
for a new trial in a civil action, and
tho Judge, lo iked It over carefully.
"Urn," he said, thoughtfully, "urn,
this sets forth that the verdict was
unsupported by tho evidence, was
contrary to the evidence, was against
tho weight of the evidence, and that
the evidence was Insufficient to sup
port the verdict as to any or all of
the Issues; because of errors of the
Justice in admitting or excluding
evidence, errors of law In tho in
structions to the Jury, and in bills of
exceptions."
"Yes your Honor," said the attor
ney. "And do you believe It?''
"Certainly I do."
"Well, well," and the Judge grew
sympathotic, "it's a pity that the
Judge, attorneys, oftlcials, Jury, and
witnesses in that court don't know
as much as you do. It really Is, be
cause if tbey did it would save me a
greut deal of worry and bother.
Wouldn't you like to have a Job us
court instructor, or something of
that sort?"

The editor of a wee'dy Journal lately

Two of his subscribers wrote to ash

his orchard from tha myriads ot ginss
liopiiers. The editor framed bis an
swers upon the orthodox lines, but un
fortunately trunsposod their two names,
with the result that No. 1, who was
blessed with the twins, read in reply
to his ,uery: "Cover them carefully
with straw and set Hie to them, and the
little pests, after jumping around In
the llaiues a few minutes, will speedily
be settled." While No. H, plagued with
