w^ih of a melancholy dis|)osltlon and
was especially Milted to the character
'of Hamlet, a inolaiicholy Dane.
John Wilkes was more hrllllant ami
dashing than his brother Kdwiu ami
superior to him a* an actor playing
Uh'hurd th$ Third. It was said that
some of his lines in that play on the
stage were startling and would almost
tiike the breath of his amllence. Ho
was one of the handsomest men, with
the most graceful figure and culturcd
manners that ever lived. No lady could
ever look at him ami not love hint,
he was so handsome and attractive,
lie became acquainted will) the bent)

of New Hampshire, and they became

him that she would marry him under

Heal, after entering the Confederate
etpy, went up. to the city of Buffalo,
on La,ke Krie, and captured and de
stroyed some . northern vessels. He
was captured and was placed in jail
and was tried by court martini and
was sentenced to be "hung. Booth lov
ed Heal as ITt? did himself and deter
mined to make an effort to save bis
life, Ro he saw some prominent He
publican senators and military officers
of the government and among the num
ber was Senator Hale, his sweetheart's
father, who wont with him, with prom
inent Republicans to see Mr. Lincoln
and asked Mr. Lincoln to pardon |$eal.
Hooth made an earnest plea in behalf
of ills friend Beal, on his knees before
Mr. Lincoln. Booth lielng an actor,
threw his whole soul and efforts, made
a plea so pathetic and earnest that he
overcame the sympathies of Mr. Lin
coln, being a sympathetic man. Mr.
Lincoln promised to pardon Beal.
The nejet day there was a meeting
of the cabinet and the president told
the cabinet that he had promised to
pardon Beal. Mr. Seward, secretary
of state, arose from his seat and pac
ed the tloor like a mad lion and told
Mr. Lincoln that if hie did pardon Beal
that he would resign Ids seat in the
cabinet and would denounce him on
the stump as in sympathy with the re
bellion. Seward said that if the gov
ernment could not hang such traitors
and pirates as Beal he had as well
turn the government over to the rebels.
Mr. Lincoln did not have the nerve to
resist this threat of Seward's so Beal
was hanged. Now, it was natural af
ter being deceived by Mr. Lincoln in
sacrificing tlie life of his friend, he
should seek revenge. So Booth organ
ized a plot to kill Mr. Lincoln and did
do It. The details of the assassina
tion are so well known that it Is not
necessary to repeat them here. ? W. B.

THE HOUSE DRESS
With Its Apron in Middy or
Bungalow Style.
Our modern housewife, be she bride
or matron. does not prepare breakfast
in a be-rlbboned and he-ruffled morn
ing Jrobe, or dinner in a passe after*
nooif frock. She delights iu her trim
morning dress, with ope'h throat, short
skirt, and sleeves, developed in some
fresh material which may lie tubbed
every Monday morning. Her hair is
drawn back daintily and becomingly,
and often confined under a cap of the
? same material as ihe housed ress, to
protect the hair from dust or cooking
odors.
Gingham, chambray and percale are
the staple fabrics (or these dresses, but
someone who deal red to simplify mat
ters atlll further, decided that plain
white soiled no (juieker than starched
gingham or chambray ; that soft, white
cotton crepe, Which washes so easily,
requires no ironing, does not wrinkle,
and i? fresher looking, was more prac
tical, fot these dresses than the old
time. fabrics Which require starch and
careful laundering.
Of course, many an old-time house
wife laughed at Ihe idea and consider
ed the very thought of housework in
white ridiculous, but many have taken
it up and find cotton crepe, whether in
pure white, or patterned in color, a
most satisfactory and practical mater
ial for the workdress.
The gardening fad, which took a
strong hold upon the fancy of the city
dweller and the suburbanite, this sum
mer, was resi?onsible for the Introduc
tion of the smock. It has become de
cidedly popular with housekeepers and
promises to find a permanent place in
the wardrobe. These smocks are fash
ioned of dark blue linen, chambray,
duck, and similar materials, often !
trimmed with smocking In contrasting

Largo, roomy pockets are features of

to lie used at Various times during the
morning; besides being useful, they
break the severity of the dress and ren
der it more becoming.
Muttons are ? used to trim these
dresses, too; hut they must be a wash

buttons, which are not removable, are
apt to breftk when the garment is laun
dered. The large pearl or bone hut
torts, however, the shanks of whicli may
be slipped through buttonholed eyelets,
secured with a bar, and removed when
the frock goes to the tub, are the height
of the practical.
The German Estimate.
A (ierman estimate of the physical
results of the first year of the Euro
pean war was received by the bureau
-of foreign and domestic commerce on
last Wednesday in a report from the
American association of Commerce
anil Trade of Herltn. The rej?ort said :
"It is of interest at the close of the
tllst war year to record tlio amount of
hostile territory occupied by the bel
Jigouts. In regard to prisoners taken,
only (ierman data is available. The
territory occupied by the Allies con
sists of : In (WLtola, 8,8(11 Hquare
tntles; in Alsace Lorraine, 405 square
utiles, a total of 4,20(5 square miles.
This territory is about the size of the
state , of Connecticut, The . territory
occupied by the central jK>wers con
sists of: In Belgium, 11,107 square
miles ; in France, 8,108 square miles ;
In Hussln, 50,193 square miles f a total
of 00,498 square miles: This territory
is about the size of the state of Mis
souri and about one-third the size of
the German empire." The estimate
tixed tho number of prisoners taken
by the. central powers at 1,094,800, of
which 8,tl)0 are officers, and the num
ber of guns captured at 8,000 field
pieces and 3,000 machine guns.
New Bern, N. C.^ ? A 3 gallon carboy
of "monkey rum" in the office of U.
S. Commissioner Chas. B. Mill, showed
the color of the liquor to be milky
and the smell like that of molasses.
Moonshiners' in North Carolina are
making and selling it in large quan
tities. It is made or water, molasses
and certain* unknown chemicals. Af
ter wording, the liquor is 100 proof,
and a saucerful will bum for five min
utes when lighted. The "monkey rum
jag" lasts three times as long as a
whiskey drunk, and ends with fright
ful delirium tremens. t
