LINCOLN'S SON DEAD Z?
Wm LAM 8mrv|vlng Child of OKrH
War Preaideat
Manchester, Vt, July 20.?Robert
T. Lincoln, only surviving, son of
President Abraham Lincoln, was
found dead in bed at his summer
home here today, His death was discovered
by servants who went to call
him.
Mr. Lincoln, who had served as
secretary of war, minister to Great
Britain and for years as president
of the Pullman company, of late had
been in feeble health. He would have
been 88 years old on August I.
One of his two daughters, Mrs.
Charles Isham, of New York, was at
her summer home here. Two of his
three grandchildren, Mary Beckwith
and James Beckwith, the children of
his other daughter, Mrs. F. E. Johnson
of Washington, came to Hilden a
few days Ago. He is survived also
by his widow and a third grandchild,
Lincoln Isham, of New York City.
Fate and circumstances so united
that Robert Todd Lincoln, last of the
great emancipator's immediate family
to bear the name, was present at
the assassination of two American
presidents and within sound of the
shota that mortally wounded ? third.
When young Lincoln was graduated
from Harvard in 1804, hip: fatheV
granted his request to enter the
army. As a captain and member of
General Grant's staff, he witnessed
the fall of Petersburg and the surrender
of General Lee at Appomatox.
Hurrying to Washington, the captain
arrived there on April 14 and
save his father the first definite
news of the surrender. On the evening
of the same day, he was in Ford's
theatre when John Wilkes Booth shot
and fatally wounded the president.
Later in life, Lincoln, although adverse
to holding piiblic office, became
secretary of war in President Garfield's
cabinet. He was supposed to
accompany the chief executive on a
trip to the New England states, July
2, 1881, but a last minute development
prevented. He went to the station
to explain, arriving just as
Guiteau shot Garfield. "1
Lincoln was among the many prominent
men invited to. the Buffalo
exposition in 1901/and was nearby^
September 6, when I.eon Czolosz, an
anarchist fired twice at President
^ illiam McKinley from close range,
one of the bullets causing the cxecutive's
death eight days later.
After this, Lincoln avoided public
association with presidents and once,
when a friend asked if he would attend
a presidential function, he re-'
plied: j
"No, I'm not going and they'd bet-1
tor not invite he, because there is a
j certain fatality about presidential
functions when I am present."
Robert was Abraham Lincoln's first
j child, born August 1, 1843 in Spring[
field, III. He not only was the eldest!
I of five children, but he outlived them
all. Before attending Harvard, he|
was a student in the University ofj
Illinois and Phillips Academy, Exeter,

The Disappearing Hobo i
The International Hobos' associa- I
tion held an eastern conference at <
Philadelphia. It was not related how
large the attendance was, but most i
of us had about reached the con- 1
elusion that the genus hobo had be- i
come extinct. "1
In late years the hobo has almost 1
passed off the stage. He doesn't i
roam the country as he once did. ]

"Unknown Tramp Blamed," the
lewspaper headlines once said when
bere was a fire of uhcertair* origin
n the country or some misdeed had
>een committed. Time was when the
tramps had a system whereby^ they
marked favorable and unfavorable
_ ' j?V --?? ;*- ? *'
houses for fellow Wayfarers yet to
:ome .
The tramp language was a code
system which informed the hapless
one whether a vicious dog lurked behind
the garden gate unseen, whether
the cook weiled a mean a mean broom
or the one who ruled over the kitchen
had a warm spot in her heart for the
unfortunates who were ,, forced
through circumstances or nomadic instincts
to beg for food.
It doesn't require a very good memory
to Vecall the days when trampa
had a rendezvouz where they foregathered
and shared the- food they
received from generous people. It
was generally in the vicinity of a
railroad where a quick exit by meads
of a freight train I^Ai' possible because
tramps were common prey for
officers of the law.
But those days have gone forever
?at least that is ttie Wish of everyone,
for a tramp was a menace,
-erally to ibe tolerated because there
was. no other .means of dealing wjjh
him. A? i rule hietyroke ho law, but
he was a constant threat against the ;peace
and order of the community
where he lingered. * J
