New York Sun, : Of that historic group of grief-strick- | en watchers who stood silently wait- | house opposite the theatre, which by ing about the deathrbed of Abrabam took its flight in the morning of April 15th, 1865, only two | are living to-day to take part in the cxercises commemorating the one hun- | dredth anniversary of the birth of the | martyr president. | In that sad faced group, made ia | miliar by the painter's and the en-! graver's art, were a score or more of | persons--members of the dying presi- | dent's personal and official families, | army officers and medical mon. The sole survivors now, after the lapse of | more than forty years, are Robert T. | Lipcoln, som of the war president, and | since then himself a distinguished sec- retary of war in a later cabinet, and Dr. Charles A. Locale, a physician' of | this = city, living at 604 Madison | avenue, The late John Hay was a member of that group, too. He was | then the private scerctary of the pre- | sident. Later he became one of his | 'I hiographers, and later still the gifted | cabinet premier whose name has been | uflixed to some of the most important | treaties and state documents in. his! country's history. The death of John | Hay reduced the number of survivors | to the two named. i On that fateful night in Ford's thea- tre, when comedy ceased its mimicry | on the stage, while tragedy wrought | out its treacherous crime in the flag- | draped presidential box, it was the | wand of Dr. Leale that first hrought to | the aid of the stricken president tho | wuch of surgery. It was due largely to Dr. Leale's prompt attention that A DOLLAR T.ooks as big as a waggon wheel us at this tigpe of the year. Do Not Wait Till Spring to Make Your Selections.

Abraham Lincoln did not expire im- | mediately and that the prolongation | | i the president's life for a period of | hours permitted him to die sur- ounded by family and friends and. en- | \bled the national government to ad- ust itseli somewhat to the situation | :ausud by the tragedy. Dr. Leale, when he made his first ex- vmination, said to those others who wad eréwded in to hear tidings of the chieftain whom they loved : "The hurt is mortal. He cannot recover." The urim diagnosis, destined to be verified hofore the next noontide, was tele sraphed and cabled wherever existing facilities would permit. There was no Atlantic cable in those days. Dr. Leale directed the removal of the wounded president, when he was car- vied across the street and laid upon a hed on the second floor of a stranger's house. The young surgeon stood to his post throughout the nine hours of suspense by the deathbed and when the fatal hour had come held gently in his grasp the limp right hand of the dying president, his forefinger pressed to tho flickering pulse until at last it ceased to beat. On meeting Dr. Leale for the first time a stranger's first scnsation is me of surprise at his apparent vouth- fulness. When a Herald reporter ex- pressed that feeling of surprise after having visited Dr. Leale at his home, doctor laughed. "Yos," he said, "most. persons do not know me per- sonally, but who have only heard that it was I who held the hand of the dying Lincoln, expect when they first moet me to see a sort of Methuselah.' The fact is that Dr. Leale is only sixty-six years old and looks young- er. When he sat in Ford's Theatre watching the performance of 'Our American Cousin" on the night of April 14th, 1865, and heard the crack of John Wilkes Booth's pistol, the doctor was an athletic young man of twenty-three. he had been detailed in charge of the commissioned officers of the army hos: pital in - Washington, D.C., a post which he had filled until the end of the war, after having served his term as a medical cadet: and earned. his .ommission as a surgeon in the Unit- od States army. On the night of the assassination, Dr. Leale had. gone to the theatre less 'or the purpose of seeing the play than in the hope of obtaining a close view of President Lincoln. Dr. Leale had laid aside his uniform amd attired himself in citizen's garb for the occa- don. Prompted hy the wish to watch the president at close range, he had bought a ticket for a seat close en- ough to the presidential box to per- mit him to command a view of its dis- tinguished occupants. Heard Crack Of Pistol. At the moment when Booth levell his weapon and fired at the back the president's head it chanced Dr. Leale's eyes were turned toward the stage and he did not see the stricken man fall forward from the rocking chair in which he was seated. But he had heard the shot, and a mo- ment later he heard the agonized cry ed of that before 'had leaped to the stage, flour- ishing a dagger and pausing only for his melodramatic cry of "Sic semper tyrannis !"' When the surgeon reached the side of Mrs. Lincoln. he found- her supporting the head of the dying man. He re lieved her of that task and at once took charge of the situation, at Mrs. Lincoln's request. Placing his patient prone upon his back on the floor of the box, the surgeon made a careful examination and then. removed the clot from the bullet wound in the back of Mr. Lincoln's head, relieving 'thus the pressure on the brain. One of the first to reach the presi- dential box from the stage was Laura Keene, the actress, who had been playing a star part in the comedy, "Our American Cousin." She begued that she might be permitted to pillow the head of the wounded president | himself into the work of his profes- upon her lap. The surgeon demutreq sion. Tn March, 1886, the outbreak at first lest the slightest movement] of Asiatic cholera took 'him abroad tp | might hasten death, but; aiter having | made a more thorough examination of | the wound, he assisted Miss Keene, { and, as she sat upon the floor, | president's head was gently lifted in j Such a way as to cause no shock and was rested on her lap.

All of us thought place of safety. there was a plot to blow up the thea- tre, and we felt that the mine might be fired at any moment. One of the first things 1 said after having made a superficial examination was, 'His wound is mortal; he cannot recover.' Two other physicians, Dr. Taft and Dr. H. E. A, King,.had come to my assistance; and the president was car- ried across the street. Several army went in advance of us and cleared the way. The president was carried up to the second floor and placed on a bed. On account of his great stature, for he was six feet four inches tall, Mr. Lincoln was laid on the bed di- agonally. "On our way over I was twice oblig- ed to relieve the pressure on the pati- ent's brain by again removing the clot. Mr. Lincoln was shot at half- past ten o'clock and lived until twen- ty minutes past seven o'clock the next morning. Before his death the cabinet officers had time to assemble, and he died with his family at his bedside. As his spirit passed away I was hold- As Dr. Leale said this he took the hand of the writer in a firm but gen- tle grasp and illustrated how he had held his index finger on the pulse of the radial artery until it had ceased o beat. Much that had occurred during these nine hours while the president's life was slowly ebbing, Dr. Leale holds of too sacred memory te repeat even now for publication. 'Much that he himself did during those crucial hours he is too modest to repeat lest he be thought by some who do not know him to 'be indulging in personal ex- ploitation. It was only at the urgent request of his colleagues of the Mili- tary Order of the Loyal Legion that he finally consented to read a paper at a recent memorial dinner of that organization at Deélmonico's, embody- ing at some length his recollection of the nation's tragedy. Other have told, presence of mind, however, of the skill and efficiency with which Dr. Leale stood to his post from the first moment to the last throughout the ordeal. confusion of the emptying theatre and the ever present dread of some further calamity he coolly examined his illus- trions patient and made his prognosis; jhe arranged for the removal to a pri- vate home without unnecessary delay; he dispatched the messengers that soon brought hurrying to the deathbed the son, Robert, then a captain in the army, and Mr. Lincoln's favorite cler- gyman also. As one of the surgeons who had heen in attendance. Dr. Leale had a pro- minent place during the funeral ser- vices in the White House and at the capitol, standing close to the head of the casket while the body of the presi- dent lay in state. In the funeral pro: cession he rode in the carriage imme- diately preceding the catafalque, at- tired, of course, in his uniform as a surgeon of the army. He has never worn that particular uniform since. The sword which formed part of his equipment, its hilt knotted with a bow of black crepe,' was laid away and has !never been donned since that day. Dr. Leale keeps it in a cabinet in his home in Madison avenue among | the relics of a busy life. Tenderly, al- | most reverently, he took it from its resting place and showed it to the writer, its scabbard somewhat tarnish- ed by the years and its shrunken, crumpled bow of mourning crepe yet drooping from the hilt where he bound it on the morning which he had fol lowed his chieftain to the tomb. Plaster Cast Of Lincoln's Hand From another cabinet Dr. Leale took a plaster cast of the head of Lincoln, made during the president's life. It showed a remarkable hand. Strength was written there in every line of i those corded sinews and firmly clench- ed digits. '"The same hand," was Dr. Leale's comment, "that split the rails in his rugged pioneer days and that { inscribed later in the years of his ful- ness that strong, but delicate chiro- graphy in which he penned his famous | public documents; the hand that wrote | the emancipation proclamation freeing the slaves." Laying the plaster replica carefully back in its case, the surgeon pointed out the framed picture hanging on the wall of his library--a copy of one of the well-known paintings depicting the i died. : Though 'of English' ancestry, Dr. Charles A. Leale is a native of New York. At the age of fourteen years he began the medical studies which in 1865 yielded him from the Bellevue Medical College the degree of M.D., with the highest commendation as a specialist in heart and lung diseases by Prof, F. H. Hamilton, under whose instruction he had been, and also as a specialist in gunshot wounds and sur- gery, under the instruction of Dr. Austin Flint, Sr. In January, 1866, he was honorably mustered out of the army while suffering from an attack of typho-malaria fever contracted in the service.. He then received fhe bre- vet rank of captain of United States Volunteers. o On leaving the army Dr. Leale threw make a special study of that scourge. From 1866 to 1877 Dr. Leale was physician in charge of the children's class at the North-Western Dispensary of New York City, and for two years of New ¥ tion of the poor, Amid the' - javispain x cases at the Central Dispensary, also In 1891 he made president of St. John's Guild, and in 1892 was re- elected for a second term.

Subject of Heated Debate National Convention. Dublin, Feb. 11.--The Irish national convention held its second day's ses. sion at the Mansion House and, com- pared to the stormy scenes of yester day whon the speeches of ithe minority were shouted down, the proceedings were very ovderly. John Dillon, how- ever, drew a hot fire when he opposed a motion to the effect that the Irish language should be among the com: pulsory subjects for matriculation at tha national university, He took the ground that compulsion led to the in- ference that the people would not study their native language unless compelled to do so. The Gaelic leaguers, however, carried the con vention and the motion was approved. Other resolutions included thanks to the people of America for their gene rosity in supporting the Irish cause. at Carrying Place Budget. Carrying Place, Feb. 9.--H.
