LINCOLN AND MCCLELLAN.

Robert T. Lincoln, the son of Abraham Lincoln, has
almost disappeared from public view.
The son OF the man whom Abraham Lincoln defeated
at the polls forty years -AcClelanis in the fore
front of the future presidential possibilities of his party
How has the whirigig of time wrought the change ?
The reason is to be found in the men themselves.
Robert T. Lincoln has inherited few if any Of the per-
sona traits of his lustrous father If Abraham Lin
coin was pebeian then Robert Lincoln is arstocrat
Certainly the latter has qualities of personality that
appeals to the public. He inherits from his mother
In the campaign Of 1896 Robert Lincoln billed for
few campaign speeches in some of the Illinois cities
where the great Lincoln had practiced law. The older
people, especially nocked to see and hear Bob Lincoln
They met him. Once was enough They heard him.
There was nothing in feature pose words to remind
them Of the martyr president The disappointment
painful and since that Lincoln has dropped out of
political .crcles He may be an excellent man. but it
seems to be painful for him to mix with the common
people.
Chiefly because he was the Of his father Robert
Lincoln had seat in the cabinet of presidents and
was made minister England He had every chance to
become popular. 1t thought his would land

lacked the ability to provoke enthusiasm.
On the other hand young Mayor Mcclellan is coming

has been demonstrated that he has plenty Of moral fiber
and backbone
Both these men had great birhrght in the republic

pathy without which music is mere me- chanical expertness. His manual and
 pedal technique Is one of MT. FEddys strongest points but his control of the pedals, for which he is famed, is not
 whit less remarkable than his clever manipulation of the key board, in which there is evident dignifed reserve that is absolutely charming. Mir. Eddy Is pronounced by the great critics of the day an exceptionally fine master of the art of registration and the
 wonderful coloring produced by his use of the different stops last evening bore out the opinion.
 The third number on the program Seventh Sonata Op. S9'' is by Alex Guii- mant the greatest French organist, who will play for a month at the St. Louis Fair. It is a recent composition. The second number, Fantasie in D Flat Op Il. is considered the best work of the composer Saint Saens. "The Answer" so sweetly quaint, was a much enjoyed number. And the March and Chorus from Tannhaueser was received with eager attention and enjoyed as such favorite is sure to be when rendered by SO great a master of the king of instruments as is Clarence Eddy.
 Before the rendition of the Tannhaueser by special request MT. Eddy played '"The Swan" by Saint Saens. This number was on his program at the recital last | April and met with the same apprecia-

Entertained an Audience at Court
 Street Church.
 A good sized audience heard Hon. c. H. IIaney of Pensacola, Fla, deliver his lec- ture s"The Mocking Bird'' in the Sunday School room of the Court Street Methodist Church at S:30 o'clock last night.
 Mir. Laney's lecture was a success If he strove to entertain his audience. His lee ture was enjoyed
 He was introduced in short speech by G. A. Grant, President of the Epworth League.
 Mir. Laney took up his subject and spoke for about an hour. Though the basis of his lecture is @ tribute to the old South. it's people, its manners, it's customs and its slaves, he interspersed 1t with many anecdotcN which were especially good. It Pcan be said that he made combination of rather pretty eloquence with a delightful sense of the humorous for he carrie1 at times the theme from the sublime to the ridiculous. In reviewing the conditions of the slaves and their masters at the time of the outbreak of the war Mir. Laney said that history had forgotten to men, tion one of the greatest heroes of that period. That hero, he said, was the ne- gro who stayed In the South during the war to take care of the women and chill dren left on the farms. It was he also who worked to make the bread to keep the Southern armies in the field, and, he continued, not woman or child left help | less to his care was harmed by him du. ring that period of four years. MT. Laney spent yesterday in Montgom- cry with his friends, of whom he has a great many. He will return to Pensacola this morning.

 . An interesting letter has been received by MT. Louis Bodenheimer from Mr. Henry Mayors. former. highly esteemed and popular Montgomerian now residing with his family fin the beautiful ancient city Speyer on the Rhine in the Palatinate of Germany.
 A partial extract from this letter win give much satisfaction to Mir. Mayors friends. He was known as Judge. Mayr CT. He was q true Confederate who went out in April. ls6I with the Montgomery Metropolitan Guards of the srd Alabama regiment of which the Iamented Watkins Phelan was Captain, and William B.

 T note in The Montgomery Advertiser with the profoundest sorrow that the chivalrous and justly beloved General John B. Gordon is no more.

GREAT ORGAN RECITAL

 LOCAL MUSICIANS.
Large and Apprsciasive Audience Heard the Haxnous virtuoso at the Ffrst Presbyterian
 Church Last Might.

He Is one of the greatest artists of the present epoohr'
 This is what sienor saambati is quoted as saying of Clarence Eddy, the eminent American organfst who delighted a large audience at the First Presbyterian Church last evening.
 While Montgomery music lovers are not prepared to compare him with the great German master, Herr August
 Haupt, the famous French organist, M. Alexanlre Guiimant. or Aignor Sgambati,
 the pre-eminent Italian virtuoAi, those
 who heard him last evening are ready to endorse the verdict of these great foreign masters who have recognized in this American artist "A great master of his instrument"

 When Clarence Eddy gave recital at the First Presbyterian Church last April Montgomerians were not prepared for the rare delight in store for them though his greatness had been heralded. But last evening the large audience was expectant remembering the heights to which he had lifted his hearers on the occasion Of his former visit last year. And from the beginning to the end of the program he had the sympathy of an appreciative au- dfence.
 To the valuable quality of an accom- plished exeoutant in MT. Eddy is added that of the true musician whose wonder fui vfrtuosity and perfect technique are SO beautifully aided by the artistic sym
