HoNoRINe uNcoLN's MEMORY.
Senator Collum's Fitting Eulogy of the
 Great EinancipatOr.

Senator COllumS Fitting EuiOgy O1 tnS
 Great Einancipator.
 WASHINGTON, Fob. 13-A largely attended meeting was held at the clul house of the National Republican league in this city yester- day afternoon, in commemoration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln Mir. w. w. Danenhower presided, and after the singing of musical selection by quartet the Rev. Dr. Newman opened the exercises with a reading from the Scriptures and prayer. An address upon the life of President Lincoln was then delivered by Senator Cullom, of Illinois. He expressed the opinion that the people of all nations were more familiar with the life character and career of Lincoln than of any other man in American history save Washington.
 Referring to Lincoln's early life, the senator said that the privations through which he passed and the life which he led, while calcu- lated to cultivate some of the nobler virtues resulted in many cases ill the formation of reck- less habits. MT. Lincoln, however, while ab sorblng what was best in the pioneer life of his earlier days, avoided what was bad. His ex- perience during youth and early manhood developed in him courage, great power of endurance, spirit of liberality. a strong sympathy for the poor and the oppressed, but none of those habits of life which work the ruin of men. MT. Lincoln never used intoxicating liquors. The senator said that MT. Lincoln told him at the time of his first nomination for the presidency that he had never kept any intoxicating liquors in his house or used any except for medicinal pur- poses. It was not necessary to erect grand shafts or fashion marble temples to perpetuate the memory of Washington or Lincoln. They live in the hearts of the people, where are en- shrined recouections of their virtues and achievements, ineffaceable and undecaying. The life of Lincoln belonged to the world. Wherever men were struggling to be free, wherever the rights of men have been in- vaded, wherever the iron hand of despotisrn fell with violence upon the oppressed, there would the heart throb to the memory of Lincoln.
 At the conclusion of Senator Culloms ad- dress speeches were made by Frederick Doug las, Simon Wolf and Capt. O'Farrau

 Not even burnt match or scrap of paper could be found that would furnish clew to the perpetrators of the crime "We are per- fectly at sea-" said one lieutenant, sbut while we have no positive clew upon which to work, we have not given up the case by any means, but, on the contrary, are confident that we will be able before long to run the murdererr down .-a Y Se

Trying to Save His Son.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-s. N. Brooks, the Hyde schoolmaster, whose son is under a death sentence here for the Preller murder arrived in the city last evening and is housed with one of his attorneys. He did not go near the jail last evening. His plan of campaign to save his sons neck will be to enlist Masonic influence and the influence of prominent people conscientiously opposed to capital punishment. The general impression Is that Maxwell will undoubtedly hang, as the ter. rible character of his crime has aroused wide spread indignation throughout the state Gov. Morehouse has already substantially de clared that he would not interfere.

Anticipating an Eruption.

KEYPoRr, N. J., Feb. 13-On account of the severe frost in the ground at Lorillard's brick works here, and in order to get clay, the men had to use dynamite to blow up the ground. In one of these operations last week one of the men was almost instantly killed by the flying fragments. They also lost three of the large cartridges near the steam scoop shovels. Search was made throughout the lot but it was unsuccessful. Now the men employed there are afraid to go near the steamer, fearing that the cartridges may be picked up in the scoop and thrown into the grinding machine and explode, thereby en- dangering their lives.

Eccles declared. as the results of his WI
experiments on healthy persons, from o

ipulations, that the texture of the kin
was improved, the sense of locality In
creased, the general body temperature
was raised and the free surface tempera-
ture of g part under massage became
higher than that of the rest Of the body,
while abdominal massage decreased the
