Then followed the Grafton Of the day,
delivered by Postmaster General Smith.
Mr.. Smiths eloquent tributes to the char
acter and service of both Lincoln and
Douglass, and his "reminiscences of old
days in the Illinois political arena were
appreciated greatly by the immense
been among the audience which in 1858
witnessed the polemic war between the
great emancipation and the champion of
popular sovereignty.
Mr.. Smith spoke as follows:
w are here to commemorate the
the very spot where we now stand the
great complaints met forty-one years
ago today in one of the brilliant encoun-
ters of that glittering, intellectual and
political tournament"
The speaker followed the events SUR

described the aims which prompted the
combatants. He paid an eloquent trib-

last that the life of the Union was in
danger. OF Lincoln he said:
But you cannot think of Lincoln as
any other than as a characteristic and
unmistakable American. He was copied
from no mode and founded on no exam
pie. He blended and accentuated the
recognized American traits and stands
out before the world as pre-eminently
the American of Americans. He was
equally skilled in leading the leaders and
in getting into the hearts of the plain
people. No other American ever so thor
oughly understood or came so close to the
their ranks and he continued to be their
soul. Lincoln at once had the lavor of
the soil and the flight of the stars. When
he rose to large endeavor he had what
seemed to be almost divine inspiration.
He did not seek to force the decree of
destiny, but when it was revealed by the
! uplifted curtain he had the moral
strength to execute. If he We're president
today he would maintain the honor of
the flag, uphold the dignity of the nation
and advance it's high mission of liberty.

successor is doing. His example and his
inspiration live for all time. The appre-
citation of his great personality and his
gain the juster perspective of distance,
and the sanctity of his memory will
deepen in the hearts of his countrymen
as the sublimity of his service and the
mystery of his martyrdom become more
and more the loftiest legend Of our ma
tional history
At the conclusion of the exercises,
shortly before noon, the presidential
party boarded the train for Chicago.

NO PENSION NOW.

Major S. H. Aimon, acting in behal /,
of Lincoln Post Grand Army of the Re-
public, is making an attempt to secure
a pension for Mrs. Elizabeth Frakes of
Butte, widow Of an old soldier, but ac-
cording to a letter recently received
from a firm of attorneys in Washington
through which the application was made
it is likely to be an uphill job. The
e~,sistle is as follows: 1.-THE claim of Mrs.
Frakes shows that at the present time
she will not be able to establish a claim
to a widows pension under the act of
JrIe q, 1890, for the reason that the pres
ent rulings of the interior department
are that if a widow has property, whether
productive or unproductive. which if sold
and turned into money would yield at
6 per cent an income in excess of 500 a
year she is not dependent. 1t used to
be held that an income, present or pos
sible, of $3.50 would not defeat title, but
now it is as we state. We hops for a
change in the law this winter and then
we will urge this claim to a settlement"
Mrs. Frakes, it seems, has property in
Butte, valued at about $4,000, but derives
no returns from it. On the other hand
she pays $50 per year taxes.

Suppose Austria Should Collapse Z?

In view OF the general belief that Austria
Hungary cannot be held together after the
death Of FRANCIS JOSEPH the question
arises, What will be the effect Of the dis
Indignation OF the dual monarchy upon
neighboring nations2 An answer to this
question Is attempted in an interesting
article entitled "L'Europe sans rAutriche,"
which NJ. CHARLES BENoIsT has contributed
to recent number OF the Revue des Deur
Mondes.
The duality officially attributed to the
Hapsburg realm fagrantly UNDERSTANDS it's
amazing heterogeneity. II we look at It's
constitutions and peoples the realm should
rather be described as a polyarchy and
polygeny, for what we behold Ia large
group OF countries. and an amalgam OF
many races. and as many creeds, tongues,
histories and legislatures as there arc peo-
pie. Five or six large sections indeed,
may be distlnguished-th Germans in the
west, the Slavs in the north, northeast
and southwest, the Magyars in the centre,
the Roumanians toward the southeast and
a body OF Italians on the Adriatlc littoral.
In this artificial conglomerate and m osaic
OF nations" the sole adhesive factor is the
Emperor-King. and the question raised
by the possible elimination OF this cement
ing element is to whom. In the consequent
breakup. the larger bits OF the mosaic
would go. The solvent which is tending
with constantly increasing force. to disso-
ciate the several units OF the Austro- Hun
garlan dominion is the principle Of nation

Next Years Solar Eclipse.

American astronomers will not have to
90 to the ends OF the earth to witness tho
total eclipse OF the sun that will occur on
May %, next year. Its path Is situated
most conveniently for the East Gulf and
South Atlantic States. Mexicans on the
Pacific coast a little south OF Lower Cali
fornia may see the eclipse at sunrise. Tho
path Of totality, about fifty miles wide,
crosses Mexico and the northwestern part
OF the Gulf. enters the United States little
north Of the Mississippi delta. runs nearly
parallel with our South Atlantic coast line
and energies at Norfolk. The total phase
will also be seen In Portugal and Algiers and
will terminate In the Red Sea. No part OF
the path Is likely to offer equal advantages
TO that In this country for observing the to-
tai phases OF the eclipse and expeditions
from all astronomical centres through
out the world will be sent to the United
States to observe the solar and atmospheric
phenomena visible during the period Of
totality.
An unusual opportunity will also be af-
forded to many OF our own people to see
what astronomers call the most wonderful
spectacle their science affords, the solar
corona, which enoircles the dark body OF
the moon like a halo or crown of light.
Some Of our largest Southern cities, includ-
ing New Orleans. Mobile. Montgomery,
Raleigh and Norfolk, lie within the path OF
totality. and several, including New Orleans
and Norfolk. are on the central limo Of the
path where the total phase may be longest
observed. This is favorable circumstance,
as large numbers will be able to see the
total phase. and astronomers, who fire.
quently must establish their stations in out
of-the-way parts OF the world. can observe
the eclipse without Inconvenience.
As many astronomers have announced
their intention to establish stations along
the shadow path and carry out an extern.
sive series OF scientific observations. the
United States Weather Bureau has tried To
facilitate their work. Over three years
ago, 1t undertook q survey OF the sky along
the path Of totality, to determine the prob.
able cloudlness and find out the places
where the sky is likely to be freer from
clouds than anywhere else. With the
aid OF volunteer observers these investiRa
uons have been carried on at from sixty
six to eighty-eight stations and the fna
report by Prof. F. H. BIaELow has Just
been printed as bulletin OF the Weather
Bureau. The observations were taken from
May 10 to June 10 each year They tenC
TO show that the low altitude OF tn,
morning sun will not DO an unfayor
able circumstance In tho Southern States
and that cloudiness diminishes from Thu
Atlantic cogst near Norfolk toward Georgia
and also 'om the Gulf coast near New
