LINCOLN'S DAY.

One bitter winter. long ago,

Destined for every land to know
And love as Honest Abe.

When first to earth he came,
And maternity from cabin walls
He climbed the way to fame.
The eyes that conned Ills legal books
So late by candle-light.
Amid the tangled maze Of wrong
Soon saw the path OF right.
The sinewy hand that swung the axe
And felled the giant tree.
Struck of century of chains
And set the bondman free.
From old New Ensland's snow-clad hills
TO Tanpa's turquoise bay.

FIGHT FOR DIVORCE
Neither Prince Nor Prin-

The Austrian Officer With Whom Louise
EIoped Appears in Court. The
Princess Wardrobe and
Her Debts.
CIV the Assoeiated Press.D

Gotha, Duchy of Save-Coburg and
Gotha Oct. 16.-The suit brought by
Prince Philip, of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha for an absolute divorce from his
wife, the Princess Louise, and for an
adjustment of joint property interests
began here today before the ordinary
court for the trial of divorce cases.
Both the principals were absent, but
the Austrian officer. Lieutenant Keg-
levitch Mattasich, with whom the
Princess eloped, was present.
The president began the proceedings
by proposing to the lawyers that the
two parties seek to bring about q re-
Cancellation, explaining that this was
not meant to get the prince and
princess to live together again, but to
agree to an aimcable separation and
satisfactory adjustment regarding
property. The lawyers agreed to take
the mater under consideration and
asked for an intermission for the pur-
pose. The princes lawyers said the
prince asked for an absolute divcrcc
in order to secure a complete separa-
ton of the couple.
During the recess the lawyers agreed
to a separation on the following
basis:
The prince to continue the payment
to the princess of a yearly allowance
of $4,000 and also TO pay TO her a
lump sum of 100000, provided she
abandon all further claims against the
prince and thai after the divorce she
adopt the name and title of Louise,
Princess of Belgium.
After these terms were laid before
the court another recess was taken
in order that the princess might be
telegraphed for her consent to the ar
rangement.
Later in the day the lawyers for
the princess attacked the competence
of the court to decide the case at all.
The court then adjourned to October
30th.
The princes bill of complaint, be-
sides alleging the princess miscon-
duct with Lieutenant Keglevitch Mat
tasich says that although the princess
received a yearly allowance she had
contracted debts which in 1895
amounted to $744,S12, of which the
prince had paid $21S,000 and that i'll
her wardrobe were found IS pairs of
silk shoes, 120 pairs of other shoes,
