CHARACTERIZE THeWAR PRESIDENT.
Man of No Type and without Sue
cessOrs-

cess0rs.
Speaking Of Lincoin's character he said:
"Lincoln was not q type. He stands alone
no ancestors, no fellows, and no success
sors. He was many sided man, acquainted
with smiles and tears; complex in brain,
single in heart, direct as light; and his
words, candid as mirrors, gave the perfect
image Of his thought. He was never afraid
to ask-nay, never too dignified to admit
that he did not know. No man had keener
wit or kinder humor. He was not solemn.
Solemnity is mask worn by ignorance
and hypocrisy; it is the preface, prologue,
and index t. the cunning or the stupid.
He was an Orator-clear, sincere.
natural. He did not pretend. He did not
say what he thought Others thought, but
what he thought.
His Gentleness and Modesty
"Men submitted to him as they submit
to nature-unconsciously. He was severe
with himself, and for that reason lenient
with others. He appeared to apologize for
being kinder than his followers. He did
most things as stealthily as others COM
mitted crimes. Almost ashamed of ten
derness, he said and did the noblest words
and deeds with that charming confusion,
that awkwardness that is the perfect grace
of modesty. A great man stopping, not
wishing to make his fellows feel that they
were small or mean. By his candor, by his
kindness, by his perfect freedom from re.
straint, by saying what he thought, and
saying it absolutely in his own way, he
made it not only possible, but popular, tc
be natural.
The Growing Test of Man.
"Lincoln had the unconscious natural
ness of natures self. . Through
manners, clothes, titles, rags and. trace he
saw the real-that which is Beyond &C
cident, policy, compromise and war he saw
the end. He was patient as des-
tiny, whose undecipherable hieroglyphics
were so deeply craven on his sad and trag
ic face. > Nothing discloses rea
character like the use of power. 1t is easy
for the weak to be gentle. Most people
can bear adversely. But if you wish &c
know what man really is give him pow.

Coincidence Arrive by Hundreds-Some
Account of a Career That Dealt with
Medicine, Politics and Great Enter
prises.
LOUISVILLE, Feb. l3-Dr. Norvin Green's
active career was peacefully ended yester-
day morning. With the passing of the
night his life went out, death stealing upon
him before Sunday had fairly begun, and
the Western Union Telegraph company
was without president. His death was
no more than had been expected. His
old-time friend and family physician. DIR.
David w. Yandell, had seen a few hours
before that his span of life was near an
end. The family watched out the night at
his bedside.
His Last Conscious Gaze on His Wife.
Since DR.. Green became unconscious FRI
day morning he had no lucid moments I'M
til late Saturday night, when he opened
his eyes and called his wife to his bedside.
He was too feeble to talk to her and in
few moments he fell into a drowsy condi-
ton, from which he never recovered. At z
O'Clock yesterday morning it was plain that
death was near. In half-hour life had de-
parted-at exactly 7:30 o'clock. There was
no struggle on the part of the dying man.
He closed his eyes and was dead.
Flashed All Over the Land.
He had not been gone hall. an hour when
not through the great press bureaus of
of the country, but as sympathetic mes
sages between the army of operators who
regarded him so well-the news of the
death of the Western Unions president
and organizer was all over the land. Since
his death kilograms of sympathy and con-
dolence have been arriving by hundreds.
He will be buried in Cave Hill cemetery
here Thursday. He leaves a wife and six
children.
His Widow and Children
DR.. Green's widow was Miss English.
of this state. She is relative of the vice
presidential candidate on the ticket with
Hancock. The children consist of four
sons and two daughters The eldest son.
Jamas o. Green, married daughter of
Abram S. Hewitt, and is in Pau, France
The second son, Pinckney S Green, is u

E. Green, is connected with the car wheel
works of Louisville, and the youngest,
Warren f. Green, was American consul to
Japan under President Cleveland. The
two daughters, Susan and Grace are I'M
married.

in both branches of the General Assem-

ready begun to scheme to increase it to
two-thirds 30 that they can pass any

of democrats in order to accomplish this
