THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
Although Of Opposite Politics Both
Were Great Statesmen and
Were for the Union.

GAl.EsBuRG. ILL.,. oc,. Ton tn,
campus Of the historic Knox college
where Il years ago Abraham Llncolr
and Stephen A. Douglas met In a
memorable series OF debates to deter.
mine which should occupy a seat In
the United States senate. President Nc
Kinley and Postmaster General Smith
this morning delivered stirring ad-
dresses commemorative OF the contes,
between the two great leaders Of for
mer days.
The citizens OF Galssburg turned out
en- masse TO honor the president and
the members Of his cabinet. Colonel
Carr presided aver the exercises, and
the invocation was delivered by Or.
Nash, president OF Lombard university.
Congressman Prince welcomed the
president to the tenth congressional
district, and the greeting on behalf OF
the people of Illinois was spoken by
Senator Cullom.
The brief speech OF the president was
listened to with the closest attention.
and was punctIuei throughout its de-
livery with outbursts Of applause
The president spoke as follows:
Mr. Chairman and my Fellow Citi-
zens: The time and place make this
meeting memorable Forty-one years
ago on this spot two mighty heroes
representing opposing ideas contended
for mastery before the tribune Of the
people. Il was contest which history
will not fail TO record, aud some are
Yet living to tell Of its interesting and
thrilling story.
Lincoln and Douglas are lnseparably
connected in the public mind. Their
association began in conflict and end
ed in cooperation. They were in an
tagonism for more than a generation
over the interpretion Of the constltu-
tIon anG were united at last when the
itself was assailed. They
might differ as they did over the mean
ing Of some Of its provisions, but when
the crisis came they stood together for
its irviolabllity and for the insepara-
bility Of the union 1t established.
THE one asserted the right OF slav-
cry under certain conditions to enter
the territories, the other disputed that
right under any conditions, but both
agreed that the slave power should not
divide the union. The debate was ma
ti0nal and historical. II commanded
profound attention. II interested all
sections 1t was watched with deepest
anxiety by the followers OF both. 1t
was read and studied as no other pub
Ic discussion before or since. II pre-
sented the best Of two conflicting
schools Of thought. 1t touched the pub
ic conscience. 1t Influenced public
thought and purpose. 1t made the is
sue impossible to escape; Il could be no
longer avoided or evaded. It united the
friends Of liberty as well as those OF
slavery. 1t hastened the 'irrepressible
,onfiio;. 1t was not the beginning Of
he agitation, but It carried II into the
ives and homes Of the republic. and

THREE CENTURY RIDERS.

Century riding, which has been on the in
crease, and which seemed to have reached
It's zenith last year, is q comparatively re-
cent development in local bicycle riding. Not
only does 1t affect the District but the
century riding mania seems to have taken
strong hold all over the country, and is
not confined to male riders. The female
cyclists, as well as the members of the
strong sex, like to wear the little bar upon
which is inscribed the 100-mile sign.
Recently the tabulated statement of the
century riding in the District was publish
ed IN The Star, showing r. G. Williams AL
Griffith and Howard Fisk, in the order
named, to be the leading mileage riders in
the city, and likewise having the distinction
OF having ridden the most centuries. They
are a members of the Century Cycle Club,
and that organization is proud of them and
it is conceded that the record established
by them will not be broken for some time
Robert G. Williams, the leader in the CEN
tufleS and total mileage, was one of the or
gamers of the Century Cycle Club on Au-
gust i, 1896. Since then Mr. Williams has
taken an active interest in cycling. BY
hard riding he gained a reputation as a
Iong-dlstaiIce rider, and his endurance on
more than one occasion seemed almost re-
markable.
During the season of 1897 he rode 7.635
miles, of which 6,021 were ridden in six
months, from March - to September %
During the same year he also rode twenty

portant work that was to follow. II was not
until the advent of The safety bicycle, how
ever, that Mr.. Griffith was enabled to dis
play his ability a lOng-distanca rider.
Beginning with the season of 1896, Mr..
Griffith set for himself daily task of rid
ing 30 miles which he soon increased to 40.
then 90 until finally it became a matter of
comparative ease for him to ride 100. His
first century run was made in 1876 with the
Columbia Athletic Club, after which he
participated in the L. a. w century run
OF that year, since which event it may he
said that he has participated in every CEN
fury run held by a Washington or Baltimore
bicycle club, always finishing in good con-
ditiOn and with the leaders.
Mr.. GrifhthS opinion is that the course
from Baltimore to Frederick and return Is
the most trying Of all courses around Wash
fngton and Baltimore. for the roads are
sandy and the country hilly. Mr.. Griffith
has been a member of The Century Road
Club Of America for the past three years
and now IS vice president of he Century
Cycle Club of this city. His mileage for
last year foots up nearly 1000 miles, inclGd-
ing twenty centuries. Mr.. Griffith is en-
gagged in the patent Office during the great
er part of the day and can ride only be-
fore and after office hours. The above rec
ord of 1000 miles places him second among
the lOng-distance riders of the District for
last year.
Howard Fisk, who stands third in the list.

one years of age, tall, with wiry constitu-
ton and with plenty of nerve and grit. He
is known as one of the rough riders of
the Century Cycle Club for his plugging
qualities through rain snow, mud or dust
He is the youngest rider of the list of local
Substance wheelmen.
At present he is the secretary Of the Cen
fury Cycle Club, and has been affiliated
with the organization since the early part
of 1897. He was elected in the latter part
of the same year to fill the unexpired term
of a former secretary who resigned, and
since that time he has retained the office
being elected permanent secretary in March
He is popular among the club members and
attends strictly to business affairs of the
organization
in the old Dupont Cycle Club, and afterward
held the same position in the Columbia
Cycle Club He was at one time member
of the Washington Road Club. At present
he is a member of the League of American
Wheelmen, of the Century Road Club of
America, and is one of the local centurions
for the District of Columbia of that organ
ization. He has been a wheelman for the
past seven or eight years, and has ridden
on every team Of the Century Cycle Club
when a cup prize was offered
In 1897 he rode 800 miles, including three
centuries. Last year he rode 6,040 miles
and total of fourteen centuries, which in
cludes twelve singles and one double 200
miles covered in twenty-four hours. He
has done but comparatively little track
riding, but last year finished third in the
race for the District championship, which
was won by Carl Mueller.
On July 30 and 81 of last year, in COM
pany with r. c. Williams. he rode the first
double century ever undertaken In the Dis
trict. With the exception of two hours
taken for sleep the two rode for twenty
four hours on the roads within a radius of
twenty-five miles of the city. He has been

olup OF America, and last season covered
3,o1i miles. In the same time and in the
total are included thirty-four centuries, in
Guiding six doubles. thereby winning the
mileage and century championship for the
District offered by the Century Club. 1t

member OF the Century Road Club, the sec
