! Imprursfl Train ■ The Assassination of President Lincoln remark: “Wow he belongs to toe atos I'hv Booth lost, in Ltucula, one wns would have proved to be its best friend, as is. perhaps, now realised In a letter written to Gen. Van Alen ou the last day of his life, Lincoln wrote words that strike the keynote of his character, la it he said: “I thank you for the assurance you give me that I shall be supported by conserva­ tive men like yourself iu the etforts I may make to restore the Uuion so aa to make it. to use your language, a union of hearts and hands us well as of States.'* Over all the members of that presi­ dential theater party a black and awful fate hung menacingly. The fate of the assassin. John Wilkes Booth, is too well known for repetition­ I ! shot down like a dug, aa be waa. in a burning barn. Many have not followed the end of oth­ ers indirectly associated with the tragedy. The stricken widow of the martyred President passed the balance of her days in melancholia and madness. Of tbs guests who were with her in the box that uight. oue slew the other and ended his own life s maniac. By a curious coincidence, even Sergt. Boston Corbett, who shot Booth In the barn, became insane and was afterwards coufiued in a Kansas asylum. VALENTINES OUT OF DATE. Original Verse, Flower« or Candy Ara Now the Proper Gifts. Valentines are out of date. That ia the edict of society. When the 14th of February comes around now the proper caper is to write to your lady fair a few choice stanzas of valentine verse, or, in case of your inability to construct proper rhyme, send around a few bunches of vio­ lets or sweet roses or a nice box of candy —a heart shaped box preferred, of course —all tied up with pretty silk ribbons. The flowers and the candy may not last as long as the poetry, but the flowers will lie prettier, the candy will taste better and both will be more appreciated. When it is said that valeutines are out of date the statement has to be made, of course, with some reservation. They are WOOLEN GOODS Prove » Bxceptien to Dullooaa (hows la Other Lines. Bradstreet’« review says: Exceptions to the quiet and even dullne«« shown by the many lines of trade and speculation are found in the actfxe demand for woolen goods for next fall’s delivery, and in the active call for dry goods on spring account. In the latter direction, prices show special strength, and the bulk of the business placed in woolens has been st an advance of 25 to 40 per cent, lu other lines, notabla steadiness is shown in prices. Weather conditions through­ out the country part of the week have been against trade in seasonable goods, and there is very general complaint of large stocks of winter goods in the hands of this branch of trade. Another effect of the usually mild weather is that shown in the Northwestern lum­ ber business. The lack of snow will probably insure a reduction on the cut of last year, and this, combined with smaller stocks, points to at least a maintenance of present luml>er quota­ tions. Woolen manufacturers have consti­ tuted an exception to the general quiet. They opened their order laioks this week, and an unusually heavy volume of business is reported to have l>een re­ corded. Cotton goods arv reported in good demand iu nearly all markets, and the confidence as to spring business in dry goods and clothing is a notable feature, in sharp contrast, in fact, with the reports received from retailers as to the present season's business iu winter­ wear goods. Scarcity of water is com­ plained of as limiting the output of New England cotton mills, which are reported as backward in deliveries. Business failures for the week num­ tier 253, as com; wired with 255 last week, 946 in the week a year ago, 288 in 1398. 326 in 1897, and 893 in 1896. Canadian failures for the week num- bei 89. COAST TRADE. Seattle Markets. Theater, Washington, by John Wilkes Booth. The excitement all over the Unit­ ed States to-day, caused by the war scare, brings to mind the thrill of horror and excitement that passed over the country thirty-three years ago. when, just as the minds of the people bad become settled after four years of war, the country was startled by the announcement of Lin coin’s assassination. Announcements bad been made In Washington papers that President Lin­ coln and Gen. Grant, accompanied by their wives, would visit Ford's Theater (now a pension office) on the evening of April 14. Gen. Grant found it necessary to visit Burlington. N. J., on that memorable 14th of April, and he accordingly sent to President Lincoln a note of regret at his Inability to accompany him to the the­ ater that evening, leaving Washington on the (J p. m. train. To Schuyler Colfax, then Speaker of the House, the President extended an in­ vitation to attend the theater as late as 8:15 p. m.. for it was not until then that the President’s party left the White House. President Lincoln manifested a THE SVKKATT HOUSE. It was here that the assassination was planned. out of date as gifts between fashionable adults, but among children they are popu­ lar still. Every little lad and lassie watches for the postman ou the morning of St. Valentine's day, of course, and la disappointed if the mail brings no love message, no little embossed and painted Cupid.

The audience listened to the dialogue between Florence Trenchard and May Meredith, when the pistol shot rang through the theater. It was appar­ ently fired behind the scenes on the right of the stage, and It was accepted by the audience as an introduction to some new passage, several of which had been in­ terpolated in the early part of the play.
