AN OLD MAID IN
LINCOLN'S EYES
Remarkable Letter Emancipator
Wrote To Be Sold.
WCQING THRUST UPON KIM
Pieced In an Embarrassing Position as
Result of a Rash Agreement, He
Later Penned Grotesque Account of
the Lady and Unexpected Outcome of
the Strang? Romance
Major William II. Lambert, civil war
veteran, who died in Philadelphia June
I. 11112. ?m ue?! the Onest Abraham Lin
coln and William M. Thackeray collec
tions in existence. Owing to his death
they bare come into the public market
and will be sohl at auction.
Perhaps the item of greatest general
interest In part one-is the rive pnge
quarto letter written by Lincoln to
Mrs. Orvllle II. Browning, telling how
he mnde love to Mary S: Owens, after
ward Mary S. Vineyard, asked lier to
marry him aud was rejected. The let
ter, which is worn at the folds. Is
dated Springfield, April 1, 1S3S. Lin
coln first met Miss Owens*in 183.'! at
the house of Mrs. ltennet Able, lier sis
ter. The letter reads in part:
"It was then. In the autumn of 1830.
that n innrrled lady of my acquain
tance (Mrs. Able) aud who was a great
friend of mine being ubout to pay n
visit to her father and other relatives
residing in Kentucky proposed to me
that on her return ahe would bring n
sister of hers with her on condition
that I would engage to become her
brother-in-law with nil convenleait dis
patch. I had seen the said sister some
three years before, thought ber intelli
gent and ugrceable and saw no good
objection to plodding through lifo band
In band with, her.
"A Trifle Too Willing."
"Time passed on. The lady took ber
Journey aud in due time returned, sis
ter in company, wire enough. This
stomached me a little, for it appeared
to me that her coming so readily show
ed that she was a trifle too willing, but
on reflection it occurred to me that she
might have been prevailed on t?y ber
married sister to come without any
thing concerning me having been men
tioned to ber.
"In n few days we bnd on Interview,
and. although I bad not seen ber be
fore, she did not look as my Imagina
tion had pictured her. 1 kuew she was
'oversized, hut now she appeared a fair
match for Falstnff. I knew'she was
celled an 'old maid.' aud I felt no
doubt of tbo truth of at least hair of
the appellation. A kind of notion ran
in my head that nothing could hare
commenced nt the huso of Infancy and
reached her present bulk in less than
thirty-live or forty years, aud, in short,
t was not at nil plcused with her.
j "But what could I do? 1 had told
ber sister that I would take her for
better or for worse, and 1 made n
point of honor and cousctence In all
things to stick to my word.
I "At once 1 determined to consider
.her my wife. aud. this done, all my
i powers of discovery were put to woru
in search of perfections in ber which
t might be fairly set off against her de
fects. 1 tried to Imagine ber hand
some, which, but for ber unfortunate
mrnnji>noyi wib iictnnllv trno.
Unexpected Developments.
"After all my sufferings upon this
deepiy interesting subject, bere 1 um.
wholly, unexpectedly, completely out
of the 'scrape.* and I now want to
know If you enn guess how 1 got out
of If?otit clear iu every sense of the
term?no violation of word, honor or
conscience. I don't believe you can
guess, nud so I lua.v oa well tell you
at once. As the lawyer sa.vh, it was
dono In the manner followlug, to wit:
After 1 bud delayed the matter as
long as 1 thought 1 could in honor do
I concluded I mb t as well bring it
to a consummation .vitbout further de
lay, aud so I nv -tered my resolution
and made the t ?posal to ber direct:
but,' shocking i.. relate, she answer
ed 'No.'
"At Orst i supposed she did It
through an . .fectntion of modesty,
which I tb* -ht but ill became her
tinder tlte * >-collar circumstances of
her case. I t on my renewal of the
charge I t und she repelled It with
greater fl^ .mess than before, I tried
It ngulu with the name success, or.
rather, with the same want of success
I finally was forced to give it up. nt
which 1 very unexpectedly found my
self mortified almost beyond endur
nnce.
And to cap the whole I then for the
first time begun to suspect that I was
really a little In lore with her. But
let It go. I'll try and outlive It Oth
ers have been made fools of by the
girls, but this can never with truth be
said of me. I moat emphatically in
this instance made n fool of myself.
I have now come to the conclusion
never again to think of marrying, and
for this reason I can never be satisfied
with any one who would be blockhead
enough to bare me."
Lincoln was twenty-seven years old
when his marring? proposal to Miss
Ovens was rejected..

CHECK ON LORD COWDRAY.
He Denies Intention to Dispose of
Mexican Oil Interests.
Lord Cowdray has recently denied
a ptiblk* statement tu the effect that
ho was nlMtut i<- dispose? of his Mexi

corn. He said;
"Neither ntjr firm nor I have sc.;? nor
arc we about to sell our Mexican oil
interests totiie Standard oil company

land Cowdray has been blocked In
attempts to galu oil coticesstous in Co*
loiuhla and also In Costa Ricn. Tiie
congresses of both countries refused
to ratify oil contracts which bad been
negotiated. These successive failures
have raised the question whether an
attempt will now he made to upset

Lord Murray of Ellbnuk. partner of
Lord Cowdray in various enterprises,
who has recently bee". Ja the United
States, denied in an iueegvijw that the
Pearson llrm, of whl h tord Cowdray
Is the head. Is hostile on the whole to
American interests In Mexico, Costa
Itica and some of the South Amer
ican land. This, he said, was hot true,
because the Pearsons had extensive
business associations in the United
States. Competition was to be ex
pected, he said, as tbe legitimate
procedure'of rivnl bu^ii/es'? men. He
further said that the publicju England
believed that the United States, was
disposed to*exclude nil European activ

of the canal xoue.
NEW KING,FOR NEW THRONE.

European Power* H?ve Agreed on
j Prince William For Albania.
It Is nnuo?nced that all the Euro
pean 'towers Mm ve given their consent
to the assumption of the Albanian
throne by Prince Wllliapi of Wied.
TheTrtr.ce is thV**bend-?f the bouse of
Wied. He was bum in 1S72.
William Frederick, sixth prfbee ol
Wied, Is the sou of William, the fifth
prince of Wied, who died on Oct. 22.
1907 at the nge of sixty-two years.
ttUKCK WttiirAS! OF WIED.
Prince William, the present bead of
the house, married In 180S Princess
Pauline of W?rttemberg.
The house of Runkel is one of the
oldest In Eiiroi?e. dating back to 1220.
The title of Wied was derived by id
herliance of half uf the county of Wledj
named after n small river, an affluent
of the Rhine, through the marriage of
Thierry IV. of Runkel with Anastasia,
daughter of John II.. count of tsem
burg-Wied. In the fifteenth century.
It In expected that Prince WiUhryr?
will ascend the newly created throne
of Albania some time In February. He
xhas. hesitated uliout acccptlug the
throne and has made bis ncccptance
conditional upon certain stipulations,
chief among which Is that the great
powers shall sec ore him an annuity
for life in case he should bo forced
from the Albaninn throne. This shows
that he does not consider bis tenure
thereof In the light or a fixture, and
one cannot help recalling In this con
action tbe reranrk mode by Prince
Rl*mnrck to King Charles of Roumanie
when, as n mere prince of Uohensol
k-rn. he called upon hltn to ask hla'ad
vice attodt accepting tbe crown of
Itodtihinla.
-Take It." replied Itlamarck. "Yon
will always be uhtv to look hark to the
adventure ?n an interesting expevb-uce
for a louajt Prussian subaltern.'*

HIS LAST SAYS IN POLITICS
Fight In 1910, When Veteran Speaker
of the HoUte Triumphed Over His
Foee?Thirty-eight Years In Con
greis, It Was Reported He Might
Run Again.
In the closing days of the Sixty-sec
ond congress newspapers were every ;
day printing stories about defeated
members singing their swan songs on ,
the Hour uf th? house. Joseph <i. Can
non. enjoying the distinction of longer
service in the house than any other j
man ill the history of the United States,
made several speeches in rapid succes
sion, and each one tvns described In
the public prints as Ills swim song.
The night that h? attended the fare
well reception to Jtepresolitntlve Mc
Klliley of Illinois, also a '"dead duck. '
Uncle Jou was down on the program
tor a speech,
'"Every time I make a speech," he
declared, "the UQwspnpers say I am
singing my swan ttoilg. Just to escape
that this time ami to show thnt I'm n
young buck with lots of years to live.
I will now do a soug and dance."
Whereupon be sang a cobn song and
did a dance..that would J^ove uiade a
chorus girl turn green with envy.""
One of Famous Four.
Although more than 13.000 men have
served In the lower branch of congress |
since the house of representatives as
simbled for the first'tlm? In 178?. only
four of theln served thirty years or
more and Caution, who served thirty

Since his return to private life lit

Official Washington's Farewell.
The former speaker's leavptaklng
of Washington was made memorable
On Feb. l? last he was tendered a
farewell dinner which was attended
by President Taft, members of the
Taft cabluet and many prominent men
regardless of political affiliations.
When- the guests assembled they

"I will not entertain a motion." he
declared, while (tie bouse listened

It was a gage of battle, nad the
