A Spy of President Lincoln By DON AID CHAMBERUN CopytKht by American l-rea, a.m>elation, uu. Few persons have ever been aware Os the connection President Lincoln hm! with spies, it | S 3klCullir how 2'*® can be found to do such work. peeially since an ignominious death , ‘ ,e I H ' uol >y for being caught. The w that the more delicate woman should have done her share in it. One day n girl about twenty-four years old went to Allan Pinkerton, who was at the head of the United States secret service bureau, and told him that she had lives] at Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, and was supposed to be a secessionist. She proposed to go there. Intending to offer her services to tbe Confederate government. to return to Washington and take back information to Richmond. In other words, by pretending to be In the Confederate service she hoped to get Information of their intentions or condition for the Federal government. She snid her object was to make money to lift her sick mother out of [Htverty. Pinkerton set several traps for her In order to test her fidelity to the Federal cause and. having satisfied himself of it. sent her to Mr. Lincoln. This was In 1864. when the struggle was drawing to a close. The work Mr Lincoln gave her to do was to discover what commissary stores -were in Richmond and what further supplies could lie obtained. Kate Beale went to Richmond, going through the lines without much trouble. Her accent, which she had acquired In the south, was distinctly southern and a great help to her. She wormed herself into the confidence of the wife of an imi>ortant officer In the Confederate commissary department and asked him if there was not some plan by which she could assist southern sympathizers in the north in running eatables Into the south. He told her there were only two ways, by blockade running and by getting a vessel to some spot of southern territory unwatched by northern troops. Bhe proposed to start an expedition on the last named plan. She was taken to President Davis and to the commissary general. She told them that she knew southern men In Baltimore who would run supplies through if sure they would be met by a southern force. After much discussion a point was named where supplies might baslanded. During thfte discussions the spy learned that if Grant succeeded In taking Petersburg, all supplies being cut off from the south, tbe troops and people of Richmond had almost no provisions whatever to rely upon. The surrender must follow very soon.

Having gained the information she wished for. Miss Beale made her preparations to return to Washington. The day before she intended to set out she was met on the street by a man—one of tbe many Washington southern sympathizers—who was carrying information to Richmond aud who had seen her not long before coming out of Allan Pinkerton's office. He looked at her with a pair of steel gray eyes under bushy eyebrows and with a more than ordinary interest. She did not remember ever having seen him before, but considering her mission she felt sure she was In danger. She pretended ■ not to notice the man's interest in her. Walking on, but without turning to see If he followed her, she spied an empty cab. Beckon Ing to the driver, he pulled up at the curb, and she entered, telling him to drive her to the presidential mansion. As she was driven away she saw the man still looking at her. but pretending not to notice her. When she stopped at the president’s home and alighted the man came hurrying up. bhe went In and asked for Mr. Davis. He was busy at the time; but, having waited awhile to see him, she went away. When she passed out of the door the man with the bushy eyebrows had disappeared. Apparently her bluff game had succeeded. But she dare not remain in Richmond a minute longer. Not da r,n * l “ go directly northward, she concluded to first go south and told the cabman !o drive her to the battlefields that had been fought on by Lee McClellan two years before, and, arri g there, she dismissed him. Hiring vehicles where she could, walking where she could not hire them, sometimes floating in a stolen boat on tbe James river, she at last reached Fortress Munroe, in posse.Xof the Federal forces. There she found a naval transport about to leave for the north and. reaching New Tork, took a train for Washington. When tbe name of Kate Beale was taken up to Mr. Lincoln be muttered a Sank God” and dieted that she .hould be immediately conducted to him When she entered tbe room Xre he was and he arose to greet her it seemed to her that bls tall, lank figure would never cease rlsln K- Ile twk both her hands in his. and his e passive eyes told her how relieved he W "I news for you. Mr, Lincoln.” Bhe said, and she told him whflt she had learned. It was but a month after that tea Grant took Petersburg and the Con paid a large aum from the secret service fund xrito which she ministered to her She said afterward that the work was ao fascinating that bad / b war continued longer she would made another trip- , •

MAIMED CERVANTES. Bravery In Battle of the Famoue Author of “Don Quljota." An incident of the battle of Lepanto, which broke the power of tbe lurks in Europe, has an Interest for students of literature. "In the Marquesa gnlley"—we quote from Commander Currey’s "Sea Wolves In the Mediterranean”—“was lying In his bed, sick of a fever, n young man twenty-four years of age, a Spaniard of Alcala de Ilenares, the son of honorable parents, we are told, although these parents were poor. When this young man heard that a battle was imminent he rose from tils !»><! and demanded of his captain. Francisco San Pedro, that he should be placed In the post of greatest danger. The captain nnd others, ids friends, conn •eled him to remain in his bed. ‘Senores,’ replied the young man. •what would be said ot Miguel de Cervantes should he take this advice? On every occasion up to this day on which his enemies have offered battle to his majesty I have served like a good soldier, nnd today I intend to do so in spite of this sickness and fever He was given command of twelve soldiers tn a shallop nnd nil day was to be seen where the combat raged most fiercely. He received two wounds In the chest and another which cost him the loss of his left hand. To those to whom he proudly displayed them In after years be was accustomed to say. ‘Wounds In the face or the chest are like stars which guide one through honor to the skies. - Os him the chronicler says. ‘He continued the rest of his life with honorable memory of this wonderful occurrence, and. although he lost the use of bls left hand, it added to the glory of his right." How gkrlous was that right hand is known to al) renders of ‘EI Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha.’"

RELIC OF ANTIQUITY. Th* Seal That Is So Often Used an Legal Documenta. A most nHurd thing connected with legal business is the little piece of red. green or blue paper or daub of sealing wax which we often place at the end of a signature to a deed, will or other Important document It Is n very small thing In size, but one to which a great deal of Importance Is frequently given. It Is a relic of antiquity, and no plausible excuse can be Invented for continuing Its use. Some of the more progressive states have practically abolished Its use by legislation, which deprives It of any technical legal significance. In others, however, it Is still used with all seriousness and solemnity, and an almost magical value is given to it by dignified judges that is little less than» ridiculous. A mnn died years ago leaving part of his estate to another to enjoy while he lived, with the privilege of devising it nt his death to others whom he might select by a writing under his "hand and seal.” A writing was executed so devising the property, but It was contested by others claiming the property upon the technical ground that tbe paper contained no seal after the signature and the devise was therefore void. A wise Philadelphia Judge closely scrutinized the signature and after carefully listening to the arguments cf lawyers decided that nt the end of the signature there was an extra scroll or flourish made with the pen with which the signature was made and that this was sufficient tn law to constitute a seal.—Cate and Comment Be Yourself, Insist on yourself: never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation, but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extremporaneous. half possession. That which each can do best none but his Maker can teacb him. Where is the master who could have taught Shakespeare? Where Is tbe master who could have instructed Franklin or Washington or Bacon or Newton? Every great man is unique. Do that which is assigned to you and you cannot hope too much or dare too much.—Emerson. Help For the Electrician. If you are ever puzzled in working with electric wires as to which is positive and which is negative or whether the current is alternating there is no simpler method than the use of a potato. Cut the vegetable in half and Insert the ends of tbe wire into the fresh body. About the positive wire a green stain will at once appear, due to dissolved copper. If tbe current is alternating the ends of both wires will be surrounded by dark colored stains. -Chicago Tribune. Whittier’s Safeguard.

TO MICHIGAN FOR HEALTH. Mrs. Mary Sutlleff, well known here and at Herne, left yesterday for Berne where she will remain two weeks, leaving almut July 10th for Battle Creek, Mich., where she will spend the summer. Mrs. Sutilef has been In poor health, the Illness being aggravated by the "hard" water of the community. Upon advice of physicians, who stated that she could be cured with very little medicine by going to a place where the water is more free from lime, she is going to Michigan. -o — Early Monday Dick Roop, an employee o. the Waring Glove company, had the misfortune to have his hand caught in the machine he was operating, completely severing the thumb of the lelt hand. Mr. Roop was operating the cutter, the huge machine which cuts the gloves from the many thicknesses of cloth, and had, Just made a cut, when, without warning, the heavy I etm, which furnishes impetus to the die, which is movable, was in some unexplained manner set in operation, and in its descent, caught the hand of the operator between the two surfaces and crushed the thumb terribly. He was hurried to the office of Dr. Thomas, where the operation was performed. Mr. Roop has been employed at the Waring plant a long time and was a valued employee. The accident was one that could not be foreseen, and no one in particular can be blamed for the result, the other employees thinking that Mr. Roop is lucky to get off with so slight an Injury, as in another instant his entire hand would have been in ■position to have been crushed.
