John “Yock” Allison, Michigan’s Jean Valjean, formerly cf South Eend, has refused to tell what he knows to attorneys in the disbarment proceedings against Prosecuting Attorney Joseph E. Talbot, of South. Bend. Allison’s case has gone to the supreme court of Michigan, he being a resident of Jackson, Mich. Word has been received by the relatives at Greenfield, that the Rev. j Earl Davis and wife, who have been . doing missionary work in South Africa for three years, will return j home at once, as their health Is fail- , ing. They have been very successful ( in their work, and only recently went 160 miles into the interior of the ’ country. | At the ministerial meeting just Closed in Laporte the pastors present passed a resolution heartily endors- J ing the efforts of the Anti-Saloon league and expressing their sentiments as to the county option law passed by the special session of the . legislature. The resolution was in the strongest terms and shows that the association is in accord with the law as it now stands in regard to the county option. A bench warrant was Issued by Judge James B. Wilson, at Bloomington Thursday, for the arrest of Thomas Golllvar, former Tecorder of Monroe county, who is charged with embezzling $2,000 of the county’s funds. The warrant was issued following an indictment by the grand jury, and was sent to the sheriff of Orange county, as Golllvar has been living at Orleans for some time. The United States Fidelity and Guaranty company, which went on the bond of Golivar, made good his shortage. A sympathetic tear comes as near being a panacea for all feminine troubles as anything on the market. Skirts will be close-fitting, and the model most seen will be the many gored.

BULLET STRUCK LINCOLN.

Hitherto Unpublished Story of President Under Fire at Ft. Stevens. To all but a few —certainly 'not more than a score, perhaps not more than a dozen—it is news that Abraham Lincoln was hit by a bullet fired by a Confederate soldier in battle. The histories do not record It, nor the biographies. Those who saw the occurrence thought little of it at the time, so pressing was the work they had in hand and the president is not known ever afterward to nave mentioned the Incident. on the morning of July 12, 1864, a young Lieutenant Colonel of the Slx-ty-flfth New York Volunteers, standing just outside Ft. Stevens, one of the series of forts that complfetely surrounded and guarded vVashington, saw President Lincoln walk fearlessly among his soldiers, discussing the conditions and circumstances of the then impending attack upon the city by Lieutenant General Early and his confederate forces while a battle raged outside the breastworks. Watching with, the curiosity of a soldier who had seen his president but twice before the colonel was alarmed when he saw him hit by a bullet which had sped through the air from the camp of the enemy. The young officer was William P. Roome, who was adjutant general and chief of staff, of Major General Upton. Colonel Roome pow lives at 114 West Eighty-sixth street. Colonel Roome’e story Is as follows: “In July, 1864, Early, with orders from Lee, started from Lynchburg, went down the Shenandoah Valley, fought a battle at Harper’s Ferry, and also on the Monocacy River, and was to make a demonstration against Washington. It was thought that if he could arrive with his force and find the forts above the city not fully occupied (as they were not) It would result in a great Northern scare, a strengthening of the Confederacy, and pos®:bly even greater results. He arrived in front of Washington, opposite Ft. Stevens, on July 11, in the afternoon. In order that they might be fully prepared to take action, they decided to rest the men that night, and make the demonstration the following day. Their movements were all knewn to Grant. “The Sixth Corps of the army of tue 1 Potomac was detached from that 1 army in front of Petersburg, and sent to thwart any demonstration that might be made by Early. One di- ' vision of the Sixth Corps was left In Baltimore, because the demonstration was intended to be against that city and Philadelphia as well, 'the other two divisions arrived in "Washington In detachments on steamers from the 10th to the 12th. The first and seeond divisions were Immediately sent • to Ft. Stevens, which was about four miles from the White House.

“The First Division, to which I belonged, remained in reserve in the vicinity of the fort; the other was sent out in front. The country stretching away from the fort to the north was first a gentle lecline, then a little plane for some way, with hills in the distance. Every detail of the movement of the two divisions—ours and one of Early’s—could be seen plainly from the fort, while the participants themselves could see only what was occurring in their Immediate front. “There was thus unrolled a panorama of war—a battle in progress. In the distance a house was set afire by the artillery, and formed a prominent feature of the picture. “The engagement was sufficiently far from the fort to make a bullet that came to it practically harmless. One illustration was interesting, as showing the degree of danger in our position, and also the comparative effect of the emotions of curiosity and fear in women. A large tree which had been felled very close to where I stood lay in a horizontal position to the works, and behind it two women, apparently mother and daughter, had taken refuge. They would look with open-mouthed interest at- the movement of the troops, when singing through the air would come a bullet. Its hum would arouse the emotion of fear, and Instantly they would crouch down to the ground behind the protecting tree trunk, only to rise, inch by Inch, as the fear of tjie bullets passed and curlousity oecame supreme. “At about that time President Lincoln, arrived. He was accompanied, I think, by at least two members of the cabinet, though I did not know them. They halted but a few yards from my position, at the side of the road that led from the fort. From where the president stood he could see the panorama I have described. "The fire from the enemy was thick and fast, and the cracking almost continuous. Most of it fell short of the inclosure.' While so standing, one of these bullets, fired at long range by a confederate, struck the president on the thigh. The force was not sufficient to wound him; In fact, I doubt If It pierced his trousers. The bullet fell to the ground. President Lincoln paid no attention t 6 ft other than to glance down and permit a smile to linger tor a moment on his face. "Young as I was, I remember distinctly the Interest T took In watching that noble countenance, and wondering what thoughts were passing through his mind as he saw men falling and saw what never had been revealed to .him before, the actual, conflict of troops In battle. "Undoubtedly the president at that time stood in a position of danger, as one of those bullets might have been fatal with a slightly additional force. If one had struck him in the eye it would easily have proved fatal/’

THE CHILD MIND

Results of an Investigation Into In* fant Mental Processes. Of forty-eight children, says Stanley Hall, twenty believed the sun, moon and stars to live, sixteen thought flowers could feel, and fifteen that dolls would feel pain if burnt. The sky was found the chief field in which the children exercised their philosophic minds. About three-quar-ters of them thought the worm a plain with the sky like a bowl turned over it, sometimes believing that it was of such thin texture that one could easily break through, though so large that much floor sweeping. was necessary in heaven. The sun may enter the ground when it sets, but half of the children thought that at night it rolls or flies away, or is blown, or walks, or God pulls it higner up out of sight, taking it up into heaven, according to some, putting it to bed, and even taking off its clothes and putting them on again in the morning, or again, it is believed to lie under the trees at night and the angels mind IL God, of whom children always hear so much, plays a very large part in these conceptions, and is made directly responsible for a.l cosmic phenomena. Thus thunder to these American children was God groaning or kicking or rolling barrels about, or turning a big handle, or grinding snow or breaking something, or rattling a big hammer, while the lightning was due to God putting his finger out. or turning the gas on quick, or striking matches, or setting paper Oh fire. According to Boston children, God is a big, perhaps a blue man, to be seen in the sky, on the clouds, in church, or even in the streets. They declare that God comes to see them sometimes, and they have seen uim enter the gate. He makes lamps, babies, dogs, trees, money, etc., and the angels work for Jilm. He looks like a priest or a teacher or papa, and the children like to look at him; a few would themselves like to be God. His house in the sky may be made of stone or brick; birds, children and Santa Claus live with God. Birds and beasts, their food and their furniture as Burnham points out, ail talk to children when the dew Is on the grass “the grass is crying,’’ the stars are candles or lamps, perhaps cinders from God’s stove, butterflies are flying pansies, icicles are Christmas candy. Children have imaginary play—brothers and sisters and friends, with whom they talk. Sometimes God talks with them. Even the prosiest things are vivified; the tracks of dirty feet on the floor are flowers; a creaking chair talks; the shoemaker nails are children whom he is driving to school.

SELF-SATISFIED YANKEES

Briton Declares We Think We Have A Monopoly of Freedom. A carping Briton by tne name of Whibley seems to be quite stirred up over the quality of the American brand of liberty and of patriotism. “Liberty” says he in the course of a few somewhat heated and overcapitalized remarks, in Blackwoou s magazine, “is a thing which no one in America can escape. The old inhabitant smiles with satisfaction as he murmurs the familiar word. At every turn it is clubbed into the unsuspecting visitor. “If an aspirant to the citizenship of the republic declined to be free he would doubtless be thrown into a dungeon, fettered and manacled, until he consented to accept the precious boon. “You cannot pick up a newspaper without being reminded that liberty Is the exclusive possession of the United States. word, if not the quality, is the commonplace of American history. It looks out upon you —the word again, not the quality every hoarding. It is uttered in every discourse, but the truth is that American liberty is the mere creature of rhetoric. “America’s view of patriotism Is distinguished by the same ingenious exaggeration as her view of liberty. She has as little doubt of her grandeur as of her freedom. She is, in brief, God’s own country and in her esteem Columbus was no mere earthly explorer; he was the authentic discoverer of the promised land. “Neither argument nor experience will ever shake the American’s confidence in his noble destiny. On all other questions uncertainty Is possible. It Is not possible to discuss Anaerica’s supremacy. In arms as in arts the United States is unrivalled. It alone has been permitted to combine material with moral progress. It alone has solved the intricate problems of life and politics. “It has the biggest houses, the bear Government, and the purest law that the world has ever known. Perfect freedom is Its exclusive privilege, as skyscrapers and elevated railways are its exclusive possessions. Its un versifies surpass Oxford, Cambridge, Paris and Leipzig in learning as its churches surpass the churches of the Old World in the proper understanding of theology. In brief, to use its own phrase America is ‘lt,’ the sole home of the good and great." A lot of men who have abounding faith in themselves never get energy enough to mueler up the work that ought to go'with it. The, man who watches the clock most Is usually the man who complains loudest about the size of* his pay envelope.
