hail the example, the inspiring example, of
that man of the people, that wisest of rulers,
that most glorious of Republicans, Abraham
Lincolnl
President Bliss came in just at the close
of DIR. Depew's speech, and there was a
scene of wild enthusiasm when Mr.. Root
resigned the chair to the president.
Mr.. Foraker, in responding to the toast
"The Republican Party said, in part:
So far as the past of the Republican party is
concerned, very little need be said. 1t speaks
for itself. Suffice it to say it is replete with
glorious achievements; Its great deeds and
great men will forever challenge the admira-
ton of the world. AS the past is full of glory,
SO is the present resplendent with triumph.
No party ever won sucn victories as we are now
enjoying At the hands of those who defeated
us has come our most signal yindication.
Three years of Democratic rule has demon
strated that there is no harmony of opinion
among Democrats. They are hopelessly di-
vided upon every great question. The cleo
tions of next November will return the Repub-
lican party to power, and the 4th of March.
1897, will mark the beginning of the second
era of Republican rule. No man can speak
without qualification of the future, but take
it for granted that there will be a revision of
the tariff to the end that the Government may
have a sufficient revenue and our industries
and labor sufficient protection.
Mr.. Foraker then spoke at length upon
the merchant marine and American navy.
Said he:
1t should be made advantageous to mer-
chants to have American- built boats carry
their goods. To this end we should discrimin-
ate in tonnage and tariff duties. Had Presi-
dent Harrison been reelected the probabilities
are that something effective would have been
done ere this; but he was not reelected, and
the tide has relentlessly run against US until
now we carry only about IL per cent of our
foreign trade. 1t can scarce be said that there
is any longer an American marine
We must not only recover our merchant ma
rine, but we must have navy able to protect
it and to command respect for our flag wher-
ever it may float And then, as the fit compile
ment of an American marine and an American
navy, we should at once build an American
ship canal across Nicaragua.
These are three majestic works. They are
worthy OF the party that saved the Union and
gave to Immortality the great names of Lin
coin and Grant. Their undertaking will be g.
fit crowning of the closing century. and their
consummation will bring wealth, power,
honor, happiness and glory to the whole
American people, and SO entrench the Repnb-
lican party in their affections that neither you
nor will live long enough to see another
Democratic President.

The National League Puts an
End to the Scandal of
the Track.
CHEERS GREET THE RESULT.
Delegates Almost Unanimously in
Favor of the Change in the
Constitution.

BALTIMORE, MD, Feb. 12.-In conse-
quence of the days action by the League
of American Wheelmen convention there
are now but two classes of bicycle racing
men. Class B, generally known as pro-
amateurs. is wiped out OF existence. There
are 537 of this class of riders. all of whom
will be gwen the option of either becom-
ing amateurs or of accepting professional
ism. This definitely settles an agitation
that has been in progress among wheel
men for years, and has taken most
prominent part in their affairs ever since
the sport was known.
Class B, which is now abolished, was q
middle ground between amateurism and
professionalism, and was adopted by the
bicyclers' body al the suggestion of How
ard B. Raymond of Brooklyn, then chair
man of the National racing board, at the
convention in Louisville in 1893. it having
previously been Withdrawn at the conTen-
tion in New York the year previous.
When cycling began to assume its pres
ent large proportions and the making OF
bicycles opened wide field for profitable
investment, competition demanded adver-
tisement. 1t was found by the makers
that if they could get fast racing men to
sales. as some of the guileless assumed
that it was the wheel and not the man
that won the races. The reputation of the
great manufacturers of this country and
England were builded on that basis. The
competition then became keen among the
makers for the services of the flyers, and
the rewards to them reached large proper
tions, and thus started the scandal of
uuh nI1H
to-day. There has been growing for years
sentiment to class these men as profes-
sionals, and to-day's action is a fruition
of that agitation. The immediate result
of the action is to remove the cloak of
amateurism from professionals.
The agitation which led up to the de-
cision was most unexpected. Amend
ments to the constitution and bylaws
were under consideration and several hav-
ing bearing upon class had been
adopted without an effort from the direoA
ton of abolishing the class. In the diS
cussion of a proposed amendment offered
by Chairman Gideon of the racing board
several amendments to the amendment
were made, until finally Albert Mott of
Baltimore made motion to strike out all
reference to class B and to make new
heading in the constitution of sProfes-
sional." The suggestion was debated with
growing excitement until the convention
was in an uproar.
The unanimity of the sentiment in
favor of abollshing the class was unex-
pectedly pronounced. Cries of "Votel"
came from all parts of the hall, and Mr..
Motifs motion was carried almost unani-
mously. Three cheers were given when
the result was announced.

FOUND BY CATHODE RAYS,
Bullet in a Mans Hand Located
by the New System of
Photography.
Physicians Able to Extract the Lead
After Experimenting With the
Shadowgraph.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 12.-The first prac-
tical experiment in Chicago with Roent-
gems rays was made yesterday afternoon
by Electrician Charles E. Scribner and
DR.. James BURY in the laboratory of the
Western Electric Company. Caspar
Schmidt came to the Office of the Western
Electric Company yesterday complaining
OF a sore spot in the region of the palm of
the hand. He said he had been shot in
the hand two years ago, but was unable to
locate the affected spot. BURY and Scrib-
ner decided to use the man for expert
mental purposes.
After an hours exposure to the cathode
rays the sensitized plate, on which rested
the afflicted member, was taken to the
Photographic room. When developed,
the plate disclosed most excellent like
ness of the anatomy of the hand, and also
what appeared to be buckshot snugly
ensconeed between the metacarpel bones
of the third and fourth fingers. about an
inch and half below the knuckle.
A silver print will be made from the
negative this morning. and the buckshot
will then be removed by DR.. BURY, using
the photograph, or shadowgraph, as DR..
BURY calls it, as guide.
The experiment will be repeated and
new methods and improved apparatus
will be used. The result obtained yester-
day not only eclipses all former results
obtained by these investigators, but gives
credentials to an improved process, which
is probably original with the Chicago men.
In this experiment a lead diaphragm
was used, in which the aperture admitting
the cathode rays was increased from one
half an inch to an inch. In their investi-
cations Messrs. Scribner and Bury found
that the glass of which the Crookes tube is
composed is almost Opaque to the cathode
ray, while aluminium is translucent. Lead,
however, is impervious to these rays. Ac-
cordingly leaden diaphragm was
stretched between the cathode rays and
the object shadowgra phed for the purpose
OF concentrating the rays and securing
more defined outlines on the sensitized
plate.

was president of the evening. He spoke
in glowing terms of Lincoln, whose mem
ory he said the people of the South had
learned to revere. Great generals had, he
said, walked through blood to a throne
and circumstances made thea what they
were, but God Almighty never created but
one Abraham Lincoln.
General Johnstone Jones, who served
under the stars and bars, also spoke elo-
quently of Lincoln.
A letter of regret was read from General
w. S. Rosecrans. in which he stated that
nothing would have pleased HIM better
than to have attended the meeting, bat
his physical infirmities prevented.
The meeting was success in every way,
and will do much to promote the era of
good feeling between the blue and the
gray.

MARRIED HIS OWN DAUGHTER.
Ono Story That Reveals a Horrible Phase
of Slavery.

OGLETHORPE, GA, Feb. IA story
which reveals one of the horrible phases
of slavery as it was at one time practiced
in the Southern States, has just come to
light here. John Mimms, a substantial
negro farmer, took to himself wife. The
woman was much his junior, but it seemed
to be a case of love at first sight.
They were married, and there was hap
piness in their home until few days ago,
when he and his wife went to visit his
mother-in-law at Grangerville. It was
then that he discovered that his mother
in-law was one of his old-tlme slavery
wives, and that Lizzie Harmon, the
woman to whom he had been married
several months, was his own daughter.
1t is said that the revelation has so preyed
on the mind of the old man that he will
have to be sent to an asylum.
