all, by his matchless address at Gettys-
burg. ~.
He was a great statesman, as was
proved by his uniformly patient and far
sighted judgment of all matters of ma
tional and foreign policy. His course
throughout the war was, from every
point of view, the wisest and best posi-
bic. His death prevented the full fruition
Of his plans, but we can see now how
lofty they were, how just to the Union,
how just and temperate to the South.
He was a great thinker. This is estab-
lished by his profound policies, such, for
instance, as. the restoration Of the South
ern States by the searching power of his
speeches, notably those of the Douglas
debate; by his letters, by his proclama-
tons and by the Gettysburg address.
He was a great man. Only a heart Of
gold could have passed, not only unharm-
ed but gloriied, through the fires of the
early life of Abraham Lincoln. He came
of shiftless, worthless race. His youth
was. abject and mean, without opportu-:
nifty except such as he could create. Yet
he nodded a magnificent manhood out Of
this apparently worthless material. Again,
Ia the midst; of men, who despised him,
who. tried always to thwart him, he lived
like philosopher and statesman, work
ing out his own. plans that were so deep
and high that his revilers could not un-
derstand them. ITO live as Lincoln lived,
to be what Lincoln was, in such sur
roundingS, is possible only to very great
souls. ~ #.

Never Give Tn.


Of the day,
My heart with its burden cast down;
Alone and unaided on life's barren
way,
And all the world wearing a frown;
heard the quaint tones, beating meas
ured and slow,
OF the clock, from its shelf on the
wall;
And, as the staid pendulum swung to
and fro,
In rhythm these words seemed to
fall:
"Never give up. Never give up.
Time will be given you.
Never give up"
And then, through the deepening 81
lence, it seemed
A presence pervaded the gloom;
Although far away she lay sleeping,
dreamed
My mother stood there in the room.
About her sweet face, as it turned to
my own,
Seemed resting a halo of light.
Like far-away music, fancied her
tone
Fell soft on the ear of the night:
"Never give up. Never give up.
Loved ones are waiting you,
Never give up
Out into the night, to the quiet and
calm,
went to the starlight and dew;
For night, to the heart that is sore,
has a balm,
A beauty that always is new.
I saw the great earth, as it swung to
the dawn,
Stretching out to the east, to the
west;
And out of the deep heart of nature
seemed drawn
A voice with an accent Of rest:
Never give up. Never give up.
The world is wide for you.
Never give up"
bright eyes of space,
Through immensity's blue-curtained
deeps,
In clusters of glimmering groups, seem
to gaze
Far away, where the quiet earth
sleeps,
And down through the broad, jeweled
fields of the sky,
That radiant stretch over all,
There dropped a still voice, as it
were from on high,
Which seemed to my spirit to call:
"Never give up. Never give up.
Heaven is over you.
Never give up
"The past it is gone, with its sorrows
and faults.
Then leave it and build you anew.
The past it is dead, locked in mem
ory's vaults;
And living hopes beckon to you.
For the brave is the pathway of life.
Can you climb?
Then turn from the years that are
dead,
With your eyes on the promise that's
shining sublime .
In the.years that are lying ahead
'Never give up Never give up"
The great misty future says, =; =:
Never give up"

ENGLISH DISCUSS STARTS.
They Assert American Seat Is Re

London, July 13.-At the recent annual
meeting of the English Jockey Club the
most important matter discussed was the
starting gate, and it was brought out
that the stewards Of the Jockey Club
Lord Downe. LORD Stanley. and Lord
Durham-had gone into a thorough in
yestgauon Of the matter.
They had consulted the three principal
starters employed by the English Jockey
Club-Messrs. WillOughby. Coventry, and
Owen-who were unanimously Of the
opinion that standing starting, as al
present. was absolutely necessary TO Sc
cure a fair start, but they considered
that the starter should be given dis
cretiOnary power TO let the. horses start,
even if one was not actually standing
still, provided no injustice was done 70
other horses. This IS practically the
method in England now
On the same subject the French starter
also testified. lie was unqualifedly I'm
favor Of standing starts During the
discussion Lord Downe and Lord London
derry took occasion to condemn system
of riding now prevalent IN England. en-
anating from America and marked by
very short stiTrups. which prevented the
jockeys from controlling their mounts.

NEVER BETS ON A RACE.
Cavanagh Conducts Betting Ring,
bat Never Lays Wager.


New York. July 13.-Concerned in
racing for years. John G. Cavanagh has
never bet a dollar on horse race. and
he is a wealthy man.
He Is the man who conducts the bet
ting ring. enforces a strict obligation
from every bookmaker, superyises the
betting system. and holds each mem
Der of the high stool brigade to a
strict accountability to the better ind
management. Every detail of ring
management is under the eye of Cav
anagh, and he breathes the atmosphere
Of the great race track gambeloriums
every racing day of his life. but he
never puts down" a bet-not even a
single dollar. lie could not be induced
TO wager on the chances Of a horse no
matter who proclaimed the racer a
'cinch" He does not object 10 others
betting, but it is a discounted form of
dissipation With him. And II a friend
were 10 ask John Cavanagh for tip
on a horse race his answer would be
I never give or take a tip"
Such has been Cayanagh's motto
through life His success is due TO
his abstention from betting, and his
observance of the laws of business.
Manager CaVanagh is q sample OF what
can be accomplished by devotion to
honest endeaYOr. He sold newspapers
as a boy, and got his schooling at
night. lie entered several fields, finally
10 become acquainted with racing men,
which enabled him 70 secure a small
footing in the betting ring as a sta
TONER. supplying the needs Of the book
makers 1t was a small beginning. but
Cavanagh saw the opportunities and
studied the new conditions under which
he saw a chance 10 reap a fortune.
Cavanagh had advanced ideas. and he
submitted them to the racing authori-
ties, with the result that lie became
supreme in ring management, and has
since become known throughout the
American turf as man of brains and
resources.
During the recent trying years Of
the rseing game. when It's future hung
by a slim thread, Cavanagh's active
brain devised plans and with the pass
age Of the Percy-Gray law. which saved
the day for racing in this State, il was
said that C8vanagh had as much TO do
with the framing Of the measure as its
accredited authors. He is to-day a
silent power in racing and one whose
counsel is sought by men of every sta
tion interested in the future of racing
in the Empire State.
