OGDEN TALKS ON LINCOLN.
Tells Rockefeller Bible Glass Some
Personal Traits.

After John D. Rockefeller. jr., had led his
Bible class at the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church. in New York, yesterday morning in
singing Bringing In the Sheaves," he sur
rendered the floor to Robert c. Ogden, who
gave few sidelights on the character of
Lincoln. Mr.. Ogden spoke of Lincoln's
honesty in paying up the Arm debts of
Berry & Lincoln and said while Mr.. Lincoln
was President, Congress passed an appro-
priation for refurnishing the White House.
The agent WHO bought the needed articles
In New York went far beyond the amount
Of the appropriation. The President, In
stead of asking Congress for more money
drew his personal check for the difference,
although ne was then, as always com.
paratively poor man.
Until the issuing of the Emancipation
Proclamation Mr.. Ogden said that Lincoln
was never regarded by the abolieonists as
one of their number, since he put the Uniol
and the Constitution before his desire to
help negroes. On the side of his humor
Mr.. Ogden related that when Lord Harting
ton. who was much Interested in the seces-
sion movement, went to Washington and
met the President, Lincoln considered him
too self-importart. Lord Harrington, he
said, lit is very delightful TO meet you. We
remember your name because 1t rhymes
with that Of our own Mrs. Partington."
Lord Harrington left Immediately for
Richmond.
In conclusion Mr. Ogden said that the
south today regarded Lincoln as It's best
friend because he did his duty with charity
for all and malice toward rome"

GEN. HOWARD ON LINCOLN.
Talks Of War President to New York
Church Folks,

The Park Avenue NJ E. Church in New
York city was packed TO the doors last
night by an au ,ience that came 20 hear Gen
o. Q. Howard speak to the Grand Army
men on Abraham Lincoln. Lieut.. Gov. NJ.
Linn Bruce presided. When he finished his
Introduction by referr ng 70 Gen. Howard as
1.-The one-armed hero of forty-six battles
the audience applauded vigorously.
Gen. Howard said: IF the Lieutenant
governor knew me as the Lord does he
wouldn't speak SO kindly. Nevertheless it
Is good to hear words OF praise. ard they
are so unusual W.. II one is Still alive"
The speaker tha-i told how he frs met
Lincoln while his troops were being re-
viewed by the Pre- dent In Washington.
Mr.. Lincoln, said The speaker, was sitting
in a carriage.
II was introduced to him there I had
always heard he was very tail, but he didn'
look so that day. To this dly don't know
what in the world he had done with his
legs.
Soon after, Gen Howard said, he became
seriously sick. He was then an unknown
colonel, but Mr.. Lincoln took the trouble
to come to the camp and inquire about, his
condition. When he found 1T was serious
he hurried off to get physician. Gen.
Howard said he never knew this until the
other day, because he was delirious at the
time He found out about 1t when he met
the man who was on guard in front Of his
tent at that time Abraham Lincoln
added the speaker was the very epitome
of kindness
Among the stories he told about the
martyr President was one of a young officer
who objected to Shermans insistence upon
strict discipline. One day after Lincoln
had been reviewing Sherman's troops. this
officer came running UP to the Presidents
carriage and said: "Oh! MIR. Lincoln, Gen.
he will have me shot" Lincoln benz down
and replied: Il know Gen. Sherman and l
think he would do it,
On another occasion, Cen. Howard said,
Mr.. Lincoln wanted him to take his troops
and march through Cumberland Gap to re-
iieve the people of eastern Tennessee.
Those people there are loyal said the
President and there We're tears in his eyes.
II never understood the remark the
Presidents emotion until we were in that
country and the men sat down and took off
their very shoes to give us. Then l knew
what loyalty was"

Samuel Glasgow. manager of a milling COM
rany Of Spokane and Seattle, has declared
that he received from William Burtt, Chi
nese representative OF the company. news
papers and letters which say that the Chi
nese Interpretation of a speech made by
William ]. Bryan before Chinese merchants
at a dinner given by them In his honor
has been used by Chinese agitators to stir
up renewed antipathy to American prod
ucts.
a Chinese merchant quoted Mr.. Bryan as
declaring that the labor party was go strong
in the United States that Chinese work
men, skilled unskilled would never be
permitted to enter, and as drawing a
gloomy picture of what would happen to
An erican workmen II the Chinese were al
lowed to take away their employment.
After this Interpretation OF Mr.. Bryan's
speech was circulated the Chinese mer-
chants became convinced that Congress

by the American merchants, and that their
best policy was to put on the boycott
screws tighter than ever.

POLICE INVESTIGATE
INQUIRY BASED ON DEATH OF
MORRIS J. HoLLoRAN.

The death of Morris J. Holloran, thirty
five years OF age. who was an inmate OF
the Soldiers Home, Is being investigated
by the coroner and the police. Mr. Hol-
loran passed away this morning about l
o'clock in Barnes Hospital, and. 1t was
reported to the coroner, his death was due
to injuries received in this city the night
of the 1st instant. The man was able to
be about the hospital grounds yesterday.
and in conversation with one of the sur
geens he sad he was assaulted by being
struck on the back of his head while leav-
ing a saloon on Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween 9th and 10th streets
After I was struck from behind he
said. Il knew nothing until l awoke In u
lumber yard about O'Clock the next morn
ing"
The patient was in fairly good condition
yesterday, but a change for the worse oc-
Cured last night, and he died suddenly
about the hour stated. He was treated
at the Emergency Hospital for cuts on his
head the morning he was found near 18th
street and Ohio avenue by Albert Blake
of 80 G street northeast. His shoes were
gone and he had on but one sock when
Mr. Blake discovered him. Holioran was
escorted by Blake to the first precinct po-
lice station and turned over to the police
to be cared for by them. The retired SOL
der, the police say, was under the influence
of liquor. and was unable to give any idea
as to how he had received the wounds He
was removed to the Emergency Hospital
and given surgical treatment. No particu-
lar attention was paid to the affair by the
police, as 1t appeared to have been only
one or many such cases that occur in that
section OF the city 1t was supposed that
the Intoxicated man had imagined he was
in his room when he reached the lumber
yard near 12,h street and Ohio avenue, and
that he either started to disrobe or his
shoes were taken off by some other person.
After he had received treatment at the
Emergency Hospital Holloran was removed
TO Soldiers Home and placed In Barnes
Hospital for treatment. At the time the
affair happened, as stated, the police were
unable TO learn much about the circum-
stances under which Holloran had received
his scalp wounds, and 1t was not until this
morning that they heard of the charge that
he, had been assa u,ted. This information
was communicated through Coroner hewitt.
The latter learned of the statement made
by the patient by consulting the officials
at Soldiers Home. As soon as the coroner
had been advised of the death OF Holloran
ne notified the police and Captain Board
man assigned Detective Father to make
an investigation. He also directed DR..
newt TO visit Barnes Hospital and per-
form an autopsy on the body
Inc autopsy showed that death had re-
suited from a fracture of the skull and
cerebral hemorrhage. It Is thought that
the fracture was received at the time Hol-
ioren Tell upon the pavement 1t Is likely
tnat the coroner will impanel Jury over
me remains and hold an inquest after the
ponce nave had an opportunity to make
more searching investigation.

that aptly describes the character
