Hannibal Hnmlin snnni.s.

NEW YORK, Feb. l3.-The fifth annual
dinner Of the Republican club commemo-
rative Of the eighty-second anniversary of
the birth OF Abraham Lincoln, at Delmon-
ico's last night, was held in some sense un-
der shadow, as II was feared the festivi-
ties might at any moment be terminated
by the announcement of the death Of Gen.
Sherman. The speech of Che evening was
that of Hannibal Hamlin to the second
toast, The Surviving Standard Bearer Of
1850" He received an enthusiastic recep-
tion.
He said he came to do HOMAGE To one OF
the greatest men the world had ever
known, leaving his home at the hazard of
his health. He came to pay tribute To
Abraham Lincoln He was not an edu-
Gated, but learned man The world was
the school from which be graduabod his
professors the men he met, and from whom
he learned his humanity. The gem u a
speech he made at Gettysburg win stand
as a rich product in literature for all time.
The speaker continuing said: II am
young in Republicanism though old in
years, but I am grieved at the action OF
some OF our congressman. They cast a
shadow over my later days am grieved
at the dishonesty and degradation of some
He hoped the club would cooperate with
him to secure the passage Of a law to make
the birthday Of Lincoln national holiday
similar to that of Washington Ia low
voice he concluded;
Remember, / can see the boys In blue
as they march in their solitary beats in the
eternal camping ground and / can hear
their voices telling US to do by Lincoln as
they would do had God changed in his in
scrutable wisdom our relative positions
Congressman Mason, of Illinois, who sat
next TO Mr.. Hamlin, said that he and SEN
ator Higgins, Of Delaware, had decided to
at once Introduce bill to congress 10 make
Lincolns birthday a national holiday.
Other speakers were Senator Higgins, OF
Delaware; Hon. John NJ Thurston, of Ne
braska; Hon. Henry G. Robinson. OF Con.
necticut, and Hon. WILDER F. Saunders, OF
Montana

Mr. Biand-Then you ought to be called
t'YouHg Man Afraid Of Free Coinage. -
You had a chance the other day, bat YOU
did not vote with us Now that Mr..
Cleveland has been confirmed in his views
by such a great statesman as the gentle
man from Iowa, do not see how he can
ever change his views and be converted.
In speaking Of the pension office para
graph Mr. Cooper attacked the supenn-
tendent Of the pension bUllding, asserting
that be had stored several hundred bushels
of potatoes in the peDsi0m Office and sold
them to employees thus turning the gov

establishment Mr. Perkins in defense OF

The Cleveland Letter in Congress.
Mr.. Hooker ia referring TO the Cleveland
letter said that he wished to say for him
self, and he believed for his constituents
that they wanted the free coinage of both
metals Whatever might be the opinion Of
any one man, whether he occupied an emi-
nent position in the past or expected 20
occupy il in the future, no man had a right
10 speak for the great laboring interests Of
the country which stood back and behind
the constitution and law. (Applause)
Mr.. Cameron would like to ask the
gentleman whether he is in favor Of Mr..
Cleveland for next president
Mr.. Hooker will say that I do not
think that a man on the continent OF
America will ever be a candidate Of the
Democratic party for president Of the
United States who is opposed TO the free
coinage Of silver (Appiause.)

Mr.. Quinn, of New York-The letter is a
big mistake II is especially unfortunate
at this time
Mr. MeClamney, Of North Carolina

SMALL FEET.
They Are An Illustration of the Ten
dency of the Times Toward Little Waists
and Weak Bodies.

Anyone who viHits the art Museums may be
struck with the fact that the feet of all the
ancient statutes seem very large, They do
seem so. but IL will be found shat for syInmet-
rical perfection these feet could not be better.
and yet the feet OF the average man or woman
to-day are much smaller than in ancient
times.
One might natuslly ASH Why Is thisg The
answer Is not difficult. Modern custom and
fashion have contracted feet TO their present
small proportions; shoes have taken the place
of sandals. Indeed. IL Is only ona illustration
OF many. Of what advanced civilization and
fashion do. The waists Of women in ancient
days were not 80 small as ia the present age
of corsets. The health OF women in ancient
times was better than IN our present day OF
soc al demands, household cares and hurried
living. Women are weaker than they once
were. They feel depressed, blue weak and
languid, where they were once bright. strong
and active. such modern troubles require the
most advanced treatment and the best physi-
clans. and most scientific authorities Of the
present day declare that pure stimulants are
a necessity in most lives Ii is a significant
fact, however, in connection with this state.
msnt, that only pure stimulates are ever Of
value. while impure are an actual harm.
The best ard purest Of all stimulants now
known 20 the public Is Duffy's Pure Malt
| Whiskey. IL is indeed the only medicinal
whiskey known to the professions or the pu b.
| lic 1t has been tested by years OF use and Is
far more pOpnlar to-day than ever before In
1 It's history. II has many imitators a. q the
usual 1ealousies which merit always brings,
and hence when unscrupulous dealers offer
any other article, they should be given to un
dersta.d that only Dufy's can be used.

The morning call., 1891-11-06


had been received by the foreign residents to
put them on their guard. The attack ON the
helpless Catholic sisters ard the foreign
missionaries and merchants was not the
blind violence of a mob, but n deliberate
onslaught made at the signal of thirty ring
leaders who were fully armed. A number
of houses were burned, although the Consul
late was not attacked.
" The riot was connired at by the civil
and military mandarinS, and was carried
through with their tacit consent, if it did
not originate at their inStigatiOn. Troops
and mandarnS witnessed the burning of tue
houses and the wanton destruction of prop
erty and yet gave no order to protect either
The Chentai Lo, with band of soldiers,
accompanied the rabble when Father Braun
and seven Catholic sisters We're taken to the
river, and the soldiers in sight of their COM
mander, tossed the missionaries headlong
down the bank and pelted them with stones
as they lay bleeding and helpless at the bot
tom. Fortunately the incident was per-
ceived from the deck Of the steamer Paohua,
which immediately sent boat to the rescue.
lie latest development in the move
ment has been the placardlng VI document
calling upon the people of every district in
Human to assemble and arm themselves.
The manifesto speaks OF chasing from the
province the devil-mouthnd European pigs
and destroying them adding that it will be
better to burn the dwellings, churches and
mission buildings than to c0ntiScate them for
the purpose of increasing the revenues The
attack is directed against Chinese converts
with equal bitterness as against the for
eigners.
IF the Hunanese laugh at their Governor
and NIcsroy, what attentian will they pay
to the authority of The distant central Gov
ernment? The best soldiers in the Chinese
army and two-thirdS OF the troops in and
about Shanghai are Human men. Should
the Emperor take steps to punish the rioters
there will be actual civil war, Human will
openly rebel, and it will have sympathizers
all oven China.
The Chinese Foreign Office has not sue
ceeded in satisfying the demands of the
foreign powers in reference to the outrages
