Did Lincoln Saw It?

(FTOm the New York Trlbune.)
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, after
trying for some time to answer inquir-
les regarding the occasion of Abra-
ham Lincoln's use of the words, "You
can fool all the people some of the
time and some of the people all of the
time, but not all the people all the
time" gives it up. Colonel Hay was
appealed to, but that biographer Of
President Lincoln had 20 acknOwl-
edge he never encountered the SEN
tence when making minute investiga-
ton of Lincoln's speeches, papers, let
ters and recorded sayings. An Ohio
congressman who had been asked the
question referred the inquirer to the
library of congress, where, if any
where. the information could be OBJ
tanned. The Washington Post reports
the result. Assistant Librarian Spot
ford made written reply, in which
he says the sentence does not occur
in any of Lincoln's writings, adding
that Mr.. Nicolay, Lincoln's secretary
and associate of Colonel John Hay in
writing the elaborate biography of Lin
coin, told Spofford the alleged Lin
coin saying was spurious. Librarian
Spofford says the real author of the
popular sentence was Phineas T. Bar
mum. the famous Snowman, who fool
ed the people" more successfully than
any other man of his time.

His Remarks Unwise.

st. Petersburg. Feb. 23.-General
satisfaction is expressed, even among
liberals. that the funeral today of
Grand Duke Sergius passed off with
no untoward incident. Even the ex-
IRENE radicals respected the grief of
the imperial family. The police pre-,
cautions, both here and at Moscow,
though extensive, apparently were not
needed.
The public is discussing with aston
1shment the sweeping statement OF
the Metropolitan of Moscow, attrib
ut4ng the guilt of the assassination to
the entire Russian society, critics say
ing that if this be true, it justifies the
contention of reformers that all Rus
STA is at odds with the political sys
TEN. The wisdom of such statements
In this crisis is very generally ques
toned.

All the members of the imperial fam
lily who attended the requiem for
Grand Duke Sergius at Tsarskoe-Selo
remained to family council in the
evening. The dOwager empress, who
has been at TsarskOe-SelO since the
eventful red Sunday" January %,
becoming impatient at the restraints
which were advised by the police for
her safety. rebelled against the alleg-
ed necessity of remaining at Tsarsk-

afraid, that the sands of her life have
almost run out, and that if the ass
assins want her life they may have
it.
The imperial family and authorities
implored her not to return to ST. Pet

FUNERAL OF !
DUKESERGIUS
Metropolitan, in His Address, Speaks
Of the Responsibility for the
Death Of the Grand Duke.
HIS STATEMENTS ARE UNWlsE
Holds That Whole Society Of Russia
Is to Blame for the Terri
BILE Crime.

Moscow, Feb. 23.-The Solemn cere-
mony of blessing the remains OF the
Grand Duke Sergius was performed
at 10 O'Clock this morning In the
midst of the tolling bells of all of the
churches and monasteries Of the an
cient capital.
After blessing the body 1t was con-
veyed to the adjoining church OF St.
Anderw, where it was laid on a cat
afalaue. The coffin was concealed
by a mass of floral wreaths and
crosses.
The metropolitan and ten bishops
conducted the service, which was &C
companied by recitative chanting by
the imperial choir. After the liturgy
the metropolitan advanced from the
altar and spoke as follows:
MetropoIitan's Address.
1.-THE responsibility for the prema-
ture martyrs death of the grand duke
falls on the whole society OF Russia
without distinction. The memory OF
Grand Duke Sergius is that of a
great martyr and the services ne
rendered to the state will live for all
time among the Russian people. The
Lord will accord everlasting rest to
the spirit OF this martyr. His soul
will live as the blood of the ancient
martyrs as the memorial of truth and
of the true faith. We may be sure the
blood of the grand duke will SOW
germs of repentance over all classes
of society"
When the touching ordeal was over
the coffin was borne on the shout
.lers of the grand dukes and aides dc
camp attached to Grand Duke Sergi
us household, to the church of St
Andrew within the monastery: there
brief service of consignment to the
grave took place, after which the
body was placed in a vault, where II
will remain until removed to st. Pet
ersburg.
The metropolitan address lastei
Is minutes and much of it was direct
ed to a denunciation of the corruption
of the youthful minds by anarchia
ideas.
During the service the heat and the
incense laden air became almost un
bearabie. The ceremonies attendant
upon the removal of the coffin, which
was participated in by scores of cOurt
officials and military officers and il
which four generals, Counts Ignatieff
Belefesky, Osavisff and Djurkosky
took prominent part. caused som,
confusion and delay. The coffin bears
the simple inscription of the name o
the grand duke and dates of birth an,
death, and blank space is left TO
later insertion of the place of inter
ment.
After the coffin was placed on thu
catalogue, Grand Duchess Elizabeth
laid on it beautiful cross of whit,
roses. The metropolitan chanted tn,
farewell prayers as all present pass
ed by bowling to the coffin and to tn,
metropolitan, who blessed them. A

draperies and on these was place.
