Beautiful and Appropriate Ceremonies
at the Catacomb of the Lincoln Monu-
ment.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 15.-The newly Or
ganized Lincoln Guard of Honor held memo
rial services at the catacomb of the Lincoln
monument, this morning, in commemoration
of the fifteenth anniversary Of Abraham Lin
coins death. The services began promptly at
7:22, the time of the Presidents death at
Washington, about 5000 persons being present
notwithstanding the early hour and uncomfort-
able atmosphere. Major G.. 8. Dana, Presi-
dent of the guard. presided and service began
with an impressive prayer by Rev. Jas. A. Reed
of the Presbyterian church. The Y. NJ. O. A.
quintette then sang, ''The sleep of the brave"
when Lincoln's farewell address to his Spring
field friends on starting for Washington was
read by Rev. Albert Hale. Lincolns famous
September, 1864, was read by John Carroll
Power. The Quintette club sang 1.-The battle
hymn of the Republic" and Clinton l.. Conk-
ling read President Lincolns second inaugural
address, after which Rev. VIM. Affleck, of
York, England, spoke eloquently. In the
course of his speech he said.
Guards of Honor. May God bless you for
name of honest Abraham Lincoln. Yours is q
sacred trust. This is fine monument, its
sparkling granite making it impenet1 able in
its construction, but it fully symbolizes the
enduring loyalty of our own Lincoln to truth,
goodness and God. In England we teach
our children to love its Cromwell.
In Scotland they teach their children to love
its William Wallace. In Ireland they teach
them to love its Daniel o. 'Connell. In Switer-
land they teach to love its Winkelried. In
Italy they teach their children to love its
Garibaldi. In America, humanity g refuge and
freedoms hope and home, teach your children
to love, ever love its Washington,
the securer, and Lincoln the conservatOr of a
nation, united, prosperous and free. Then
heart to heart and hand in hand bound to-
gether let us stand. Storms are gathering O. er
the land. Many friends are gone. Still we
are never alone. Still the battle must be.
Soon we will bravely march on, right on,
right on.
Gov. Cullom was then called upon and spoke.
Mrs. Edward s. johnson then recited Lincoln's
favorite poem, ''Oh, Why Should the Spirit of
Mortal be Proud and the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. J. FL. Noble, of the First
M. E. church.

Ereninn Session.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The House went into
committee of the whole, Mr. Stevenson in the
chair, on the state of the Union for considera-
tion of bills reported from the committee on
naval affairs. In discussing the bill relative to
machinists in the navy, Mr.. Conger said his
ideas as to close corporations of the Naval
academy and West Point academy had changed
somewhat within the last few days. He began
to believe that it was possible that the re-
marks of his Democratic friends relative to
those institutions were true. 1t might seem
almost incredible Qaughter,) 1t might be that
the government was educating class of men
who felt themselves so much above senators
and representatives that they considered it up-
worthy of them to associate with their fellows
if they differed from them in color, religion or
previous condition of servitnde. He might
want to take these remarks back if he
found the government was able to<control the
unruly, highly educated gentleman at West
Point.
The committee then rose and reported several
bills to the House. and they were passed with
the exception of the bill relative to machinlsts
in the navy, upon which the main question
was ordered.
The bill regulating the mode of purchasing
tobacco for the navy passed, and the House ad-
iourned.

Gentlemen, the mayor of the city of Little

road, the people from the country flocked
around and greeted me. saw by
their greeting that the feelings of
the past were gone. You q have
a great State and great future, and nothing
will advance your prospects as an entire
absence of sectionalities. / have noticed in
my travels that sectionalism is passing away
and the countries of the world are returning to
that broad field of iberality which is progress.
You have soil that will make you great
State and the latitude that will enable you to
produce vast amount of one of the staples of
the world, namely cotton" You have
not enough people, but have no doubt that
the resources of your State will attract inhabi-
tants. That all new comers may be received as
l have been to-day, and that they will make
good citizens of Arkansas and aid in developing
the country is my wish.
From $4,000 to 10000 persons were massed
at the reception grounds. The enthusiasm was
generally great and cordial.
