WHEN IN A HURRY SEND TO THE LEDGER FOR YOUR JOB PRINT* JNQ. Great Interest In First Jrip Between St. Loui^ and Kansas City—Pictur esque Period Recalled—Revival la Chiefly For Freight. Thi? enthusiastic encouragement giv en by the cities along the Missouri river to plans for the re establishment of steamboat lines for freight tratlic is u promise of revival of one of the most picturesque features of early western life. The course of the immigrant was not all on land. Thousands made much of the westward Journey on the double decked stern wheelers that noisily pud dled their way up and down the MLs- souri and other interior rivers. Valua ble cargoes of furs and buffalo robes were carried on these boats, and the trailic was a strong rival to early rail way lines. Of late years the steamboats have been abandoned except on the Ohio and Mississippi, where one may yet find a touch of the old time pleasures and the flavor of eighteenth century romance in the troublous passage of the little fleets, says the Independent. But us a factor on the other streams so far as freight is concerned the pres tige of the boat lines has vanished. Where over fifty packets ran regularly between St. Louis and Sioux City not one remains. It seems to have been accepted without argument that the railroads were all sufficient for any traffic that might lie needed. Of late the political economists of the west have been studying the railway rate problem and have noted the vast exp Miditures In the east for canal con- str ction and river Improvement to the en». that there might be secured a rival foi the railroads that would compel a lo zer rate than would be charged if no competition existed. It has dawned on them that the y *stern rivers furnish the basis for a r medy. and they have begun in a p ’actical way to bring about the old river traffic, once so important. A few weeks ago the first steamboat in years made its way from St. Louis to Kansas City. It was received at every binding by crowds, and when it arrived at its destination speeches of welcome and cheers of thousands were Its greeting. It was hailed as the be ginning of a new era—or the return of an old regime. Plans are being pushed to completion that look to the estab lishment of a fleet of these steamers for the’run between the two cities. Other lines to the farther northwest, with larger fleets to the gulf, are in prospect. Ship canals are planned, one in particular to connect the Mississippi and the great lakes, all of which means a new method of regulating freight rates for the vast output of the west’s granary. The west is not particularly anxious to see ste icer smoke. It promotes steamer lines for the same reason that New York vcp-.l for deepening the Lrle canal—to brin about water competi tion. The saving of ;i few cents per hundred pounds on the gn in and lieef sent out of the middle .vest means trips to Knrope and automobiles for producers. If (he steamboat can bring this aliout it ijS exactly the thing for which they are searching. It is a curious fact that despite the immense sums spent by the federal government on the improvement of our rivers the past two decades have been a period of absolute and relative de cline ip liver shipping. A quarter cen tury ago there were on the western rivers vessels having an aggregate ton nage of 3!) 1,0-18. Last year the corre sponding figures were 17-1,319, less than half. The decline was steady dur ing the period except for a slight rally In the early nineties. The average ton nage last year was only seventy, and but two vessels of over 1,000 were reg istered as built on the western rivers. To such decline has come the once im portant feature of the nation’s internal transportation. It is doubtful if ever again shall we see the old time passenger trade that was so great a feature of travel in the sixties. The floating palaces, with their social delights, were pictured in novel and rhyme. The races when ne gro boys were supposed to be used for 4 weights on the safety valves and when disaster usually closed the contest fur nished the motif for many a tale. Charles Dickens found in such a trip many discomforts, to be sure, but oth ers did not. One may today enjoy a delightful ride up the Mississippi from St. Louis on the freight and passenger steamers, Resting Place of President’s Step mother Wholly Neglected. The grave of Sarah Mush Lincoln, who reared Abraham Lin oln, her step son, lies unmarked in Cole county, says the Chicago News. It is well nigh for gotten by the present generation. Nan cy blanks Lincoln, who died after giv ing Lincoln birth, was the first wife of Thomas Lincoln. Sarah Hush Lincoln, the second wife, was from Kentucky. She was the only mother Lincoln real ly know, and it was she who had !ho real influence in formulating his char acter. Thomas Lincoln died in 1851. and his wife, Lincoln’s stepmother, in 18(19. All that is left of the old home of Thomas Lincoln is a little cairn of foundation stones and bricks from the fireplace, which Ls shadowed by two old trees, now dying. These trees had been set out by the elder Lincoln when he lirst built the log cabin. The old Gordon cemetery, In which Thomas and Sarah Lincoln were burled and where the latter’s grave is unmarked, .is located a mile west of the old Lin coln home. It is a typical country grave yard and is in a very isolated locality. A pile of brush has been placed over the grave of Mrs. Lincoln, a sorrowful neglect of the woman who had much to do In giving the country a man whose name Is immortal. The grave of Thomas Lincoln was only marked by a white oak board, placed Ihoro by Abraham Lincoln him self In 1851, until In 1880, when the present plain white marble shaft was erected. On Its face is the following simple record: “Thomas Lincoln, father of the martyred president. Born Jan. 6, 1778; died Jan. 15. 1851.” The last visit of Abraham Lincoln to the graves of his parents was In 1851, Ju«t before he was inaugurated. He entered the old homestead where his stepmother was waiting for him. He took her In his arms and tried to com fort her when she commenced weeping. She declared that she would never see him again. “Why, mother?” he asked. She replied, “Abe, you are such a good man that they will kill yon.” He little dreamed of the prophetic character of her words. Lincoln then cut some markers with a saw and ax and placed them on his father's grave. He marked the Initials of the dead with bis pocketknlfe. These markers were stolen by some wretch after he was assusslhated. In the afternoon nt the old town of Farmington, a mile north of the Lin coln home, Lincoln was given a fare well reception. He there bade fare well to his beloved stepmother. He adored her, and she loved him even bettor than she loved her own children. The parting was a pathetic one. Sii» was so old at the time of his death that she was completely prostrated and could not go to Springfield. It is a sad commentary on the Justice of mankind that, while so much Is said about the neglected condition of the grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the woman who gave Lincoln birth, few, if any, remem ber Sarah Hush Lincoln, who was tin* one who inspir 'd him to higher aims.

Remarkable Tale of a Raw Recruit From Massachusetts Who Deserted to the Enemy In the Philippines and Keeps the Insurrection Active. Advices- from (he Philippines tell of government difficulties because of one Datto Dodds, erstwhile Private Dodds, who was for some ten minutes a mem ber of the Nineteenth United States Infantry. Until Dodds Is dead or paci fied they say there will be no pence In the Malay part of the Islands, writes the Washington correspondent of the Kansas City Star. Once they were bending all their ef forts toward catching and hanging Private Dodds. Just now they are pa ticntly trying to negotiate with him, o’- so the story runs. Dodds was ordinary enough appearing army material when a serpent tongued recruiting sergeant enlisted him at Boston some years ago. Shock headed, dull eyed, bull necked, deep chested, shambling In his gait, Dodds attracted no attention on the transport beyond the small notoriety of eating more and drinking more awk wardly than the rest. But when he and his fellow rookies landed at Manila the Massachusetts factory hand kept right on inarching from the end of the gangplank through Manila and out toward the violet green mountains, where lurked the restless insurrecto. A searching party found him and took him hack. It was not believed he in tended to desert, so he was not punish ed, but was sent, with eighty-eight oth er recruits, to join a battalion of the Nineteenth infantry, then stationed in Cebu. Dodds glanced Into his tent and kept on going. Another searching party looked In vain for him, and it was supposed he had been killed by natives. A little later there was a night attack by natives, and the voice of Dodds was heard urging the enemy to their work. Time and again tills oc curred, and Dodds always managed to get away. Why Dodds joined the Insurgents has never been explained. He may have been Inoculated before enlistment with the anti imperialistic virus of Edward Atkinson and other Boston friends of Agulnaldo, or It might have been some heritage of Norse pirate blood that blossomed In Ids brain under the orien tal sun. The deeper mystery Is how the untutored factory hand mastered a barbaric people and a more barbaric language In so short a time. The sol diers of the Nineteenth rejoiced when peace fell on Cebu and the insurgents agreed, as one of their terms, to sur render the white renegades and desert ers among them. At lust the outraged infantrymen would got their hands on Dodds, and a baiter, too, but he was not among the renegades surrendered. While tin* i‘ .nct movements of Dodds from this p >int are a mystery, he is supposed to have fled by banca or lor- elia to Mindanao or Sulu. Subsequent ly be turned up in the household of Datto Tantung, on Tawi Tawl island, where lie was said to have married a daughter of that potentate and to have been initiated by him and to have been rai ail to the rank of postmaster among dattos*. At any rate, Dodds wore ’the silk drawers, silver embroidered vests and arsenal sash of the Malays, did a little cautious pirating with his adopted na tion perhaps and was satisfied to be separated from civilization and tin* cocktail, which, as George Ade says, follows the flag. Dodds had the mak ing of a good Utah Mormon of the last gifneration, it seems, because in all his wanderings the native institution which he adopted first was the harem. And everywhere he was the most unreconstructed of all the rebels against Ids mother country. In time the deserter came to acquire some thing like belligerent right and privi lege of treating with American author ity like other dattos. But the army has never lost its de sire to catch Datto Dodds In a fight where the fierceness of the onslaught will make it convenient to overlook giving quarter. And Datto Dodds re ciprocates by stirring up the Malays whenever expeditions and treaties have calmed them down to something like peace. Just now he is kicking up trouble again. • Meanwhile this hairy oaf of a New England factory town, silken clad, barbarously hung with iiearls and weapons, reigns like a king or a feudal lord in an “Arabian Nights’” setting, with the soft southern seas murmuring about his island and a host of fierce eyed, brown faced subjects bowing nt his big feet.

SCHOOL FOR UNHAPPY WIVES New For York's Unique Institution Mending Broken Hcrres. A school f.ir nmn.'.'ng h:’<»k * i homes. That is the newest institution in Man hattan. Its curriculum is basi ;! entire ly ou the aim of eilncuting the ignorant wife who is despised l,y her husband because she is umeUered and who can not lie a real companion to him because of her limited knowledge; of aiding the mother to keep pace with the growing minds of her daughters. From little things, such as the using of “ain’t” “done” for “did” and "seen” for “saw,” have arisen quarrels between the crit ical husband and bis sensitive wife that have caused a breach in the fam ily circle, 'the husband, who in the days of courtship failed to perceive the gi n tii 1 •«* and the lack of knowledge of his sweetheart in the ad miration of her beauty, ins c m \j ridicule Imr. The daughter or the .sou, fresh from the grammatical instruction in school, Is quick to notice the errors and thinks it smart to make fun of the mother, says the New York Press. From such trivial causes have arisen quarrels which have made the wife wretched. To send happiness into such homes this new school has been started in Manhf ttan avenue by an alumna of Colombia imiversity. To it go women prominent In society, wives of brokers and professors, who wish to learn the rudiments of grammar, English his tory and the best tilings in art and music. The majority of them are ashamed of the fact that they are go ing to school and do their utmost to conceal it not only from their friends, but their husbands and children. They wrap their text books up in paper to prevent any acquaintance whom they may meet in going to or from the schoolroom from seeing the books. Several of them give false names to the principal of the school lest their real identity become known. Ro fear ful are they when they chance to meet the principal In a theater or at a social function they do not recognize her, so that the principal now only speaks to those pupils who first bow to her. Every morning or afternoon those women can be seen entering and leav ing the school. They are fashionably < 1 •*" furs and hats of the l 'os. Several of them drive to Central park In their car riages, and then, dismissing their coachmen, tell them that they will walk in the park. Instead, however, they go to the barren little schoolroom, presided over by a prim looking young woman. Blackboards, chalk, maps and outlines similar to those found In t >e grammar schools form the equipment of the room. “It Is almost tragic the stories some of my pupils tell me,” said the princi pal the other day. “Many of them come to me with their hearts In their hands. They tell me how their hus bands are harsh with them because they use bad grammar or do not know anything about art and things like that. They are eager to learn. They ask me what they shall read, what the best pictures in the museum are, what theaters they should go to In order to learn the things that put them on the same Intellectual level with their hus bands or enable them to avoid the criticisms of their children."

Many of the householders along fash ionable Sixteenth street, In Washing ton, have lately taken to styling It “The Avenue of the President.” and the fad has gone so far that they are put ting It on their note paper. They re fer to It by that name In their private conversation, and strangers are likely to he somewhat bewildered. Awhile ago many of the householders tried to get the name of the street changed to “The Avenue of the Presi dent.” The District commissioners considered the subject and finally ve toed the proposition. There is no appeal from their decision, and so all the In novators can do is to c«U It by that name among themselves/' The beginning of Sixteenth street di rectly fac'^ the White House, and If there were not a small park, or “square,” in the way it would begin di rectly In front of It. Standing ou Scott circle, at the head of the hill, one can lo. k directly down Sixteenth street to the holy of holies. One sad thing about the situation which somewhat Jars the fashionables on “The Avenue of the President” is that the president never uses It. When he goes out he goes along either Penn sylvania avenue or the far less fashion able Seventeenth street. Tne t-Gorest Senator.
