The Oregonian Night Hustlers Club held its grand opening at. the club's new quarters at 247 M Stark street Fri day night. More than 100 guests were present. Maurice Blackman, chairman of the ntertainment committee, was disap pointed when the piano did not arrive on time, but he arose to the occasion and substituted two boxing exhibitions for his musical acts. Muff Bronson and Ray Leonard, the newsboy cham pion, boxed four rounds. Abe Gordon, the flyweight champion of the Coast, and Fred Pringle, of Chicago, also boxed a few rounds. All the boys tried o show the guests some fine points ia the boxing game, and no one enj,oyed them more than the women present. The election of a chairman of the trus tees was put off until a later time. While refreshments were served many members of the old Newsboys' Club and friends of the hustlers were called upon to speak. William Be'rn stien, a representative of the Night Hustler in San Francisco, made a spe cial trip to Portland to be at the grand opening of the largest Newsboys' Club on the Coast. It was announced at the meeting by President Sam Gordon that the New Year's edition of the Night Hustler will contain 52 nazes. This will be by far the largest paper of its kind that has ever been published, and t also shows that the finances of the club are. on a solid basis. On account of the great success of the first entertainment of the organiza tion it was announced at the meeting that a get-together affair will prob ably be staged each month. The sales of the hustlers has been reported to be a little over 1700 up to date. Paul Patterson, the business manager of the Lens, the Washington High School publication, was present at the opening.

Mr. Thornton Served During Civil War, and Was Asked to Re enlist Because of Ills Continued Bravery. A personal letter, which his father had received from Abraham Lincoln, America's -martyred President, was one of the highly treasured memen toes left by the late John TV. Thornton, whose death occurred Monday last at his home at Wllsonville. It was while John W. Thornton was a boy of 10 years that his father wrote to Abraham Lincoln, who was at the time practicing law at Springfield. 111., in regard to his serving as a law in structor for a friend of Mr." Thornton. This letter, mellowed, with age. but apparently jn as good condition as the day It was written, December 2, 1S5S, reads as follows: -James V. Thornton, Esq.: "Dear Sir Yours of the z9th written In behalf of Mr. John H. Widmer, is re ceived. I am absent altogether too much to be a suitable Instructor for a law student. When a man has reached the age that Mr. Widmer has and has already been doing for him self, mv Judgment is that he reads the books for himself without an in structor. That is precisely the way I ime to the law. Let Mr. Widmer read lackstone's Commentaries, Chitty's -leadings, Greenleaf s Evidence, Story's Equity and Story's Equity Pleadings, ret a license and go to the practice, and still keep reading. ."That is my Judgment or the cneap- est, quickest and best way for Mr. Wid er to make a lawyer 01 nimBeu. "Yours truly, A. LINCOLN." The elder Thornton treasured the let ter during the later years of his life, and passed it down to his son, John TV. Thornton. Mr. Thornton's death last week lost to the state a business man of wide experience. Coming to Oregon in 1904. after having been a railroad official in the Middle West for years, he settled first at Independence. He was right-of-way man during the location and construction of the Oregon Electric Railway, and after Its completion organized the Farmers' Bank of Wil sonvllle. and served as its president until his death. Although he was but 13 years old when the Civil War broke out. Mr. Thornton enlisted In the Spring of 1864 and was made a corporal when only 15 years of age. On the expiration of his enlistment he was asked by President Lincoln to re-enllst and because of his continued bravery in action he received a parchment roll of honor signed by President Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton. Mr. Thornton was born near Des Moines, la., June 8, 1848. He was mar ried to Kate Lincoln in 1877. Two sous, Joseph and Robert, survive him. Judge Accused by Prisoner. ROSEBURG. Or., Oct. 13.
