Tie Comirg Lincoln Centennial.

The celebration of I.ncoln's day
brings to prominence the fact that in
four years more the centennial CT Linz
colu's birth will be celebrated ana
brings ont numerous suggestions as to
a great national memorial to be erect
cd or dedicated in that year. The
year 1909, in which the great enamel
patnr was born. gave tie world an cN-
ceotiCnal number OF great men. Oar
Niendelssohn, Oliver Wendell Holmes
ana Edgar Allen Poe, as we'll as Lin
coin. were all born in that year. The
four years between now and 1909 afford
none too much time to get in shape the
project OF such memorial to Lincoln
as should be erected in honor of the
centennial Of his birth Money must
be secured, plans made and much
work done. Among the many pro
posais for IL Lincoln memorial none
seems mere attractive than that there
shall be erected a monumental bridge
over the Potomac Ut Washington. Such
a structure would not only have great
dignity, but it would express the
thought forever to be associated with
the name of Linculn-the abiding re
union between the section which tired
to destroy the Union ana the section
which m:tie such sacrifices that tie
nation might live. OF this proposed
bridge the New York Globe says:
Although its ministry would b"
dumb, il would teach Il lesson never 20
be forgottclI-tne lesson of all others
that the marvellous man Who saved free
institutions and showed that demn"-
racE was strong and pure enough to
right its own faults had clocst TO his
patient heart. Ii would be a memorial
which would offend the traditional
sc"Sibliti@S OF neither section and
would preach for centuries the doc
trine of national unity and through il
natinlirl well being. The passing
years but add To the fame of Lincoln.

When the rop, separated Constable
Gumy and others quickly caught tho
cord and lifted the body clear Of the
ground. but Il quick examination of
DR. Stiles, it WAS SHOWN that the neck
was broken ;nd it Was therefore not
necessary to raise the body again on

The crime for which Frank Raisiu:s-
or, =, cdncsdty. paid the death penalty
was tie brutal murder of his young
Wife. ON oct. rs, 1904, RaiSinger went
into III" kitchen where his wife WAS at
work and cndeavored to carcsS her.
She repuscd him and Rai.inGrr left
the house. Later he returned and in
order to protect herself Mrs. RaisinGcr
seized Il gun and threatened to shoot
Ter husband. He again left the house
tut later quietly re-entcred his home
and securing the gun, shot his wife.
DEATH Was not Instantaneous and Raj
SINCE! sent another load Of shot into
the Womdn's body. He then arranged
the body and clothing Of Mrs. RaiSinger
to make it appear that she had been
assaulted and murdered This theory
WAS accepted by the neishbors. but lat
er the coruner's physician pronounced
til" case one OF suicide and gave Il
certificate of burial. An investigation
was begun by the prosecutor of the
county and detectives soon fastened
the crime upon Raisinger. The latte:
confessed. He was placed on trial in
