HOdgenville Unveiled Statue Will
Simple Ceremonies.

Hodgenville, KY, May 31.-1n this
quaint little town today. there was
unveiled the statue Of 4Abraham, LIN
coin. Three miles away is the farm
on which the emancipator was born.
The ceremonies We're simple. Mrs.
Ben Hardin Helma of Louisville, a
close relative Of Mrs. Lincoln, pulled
the cord that dropped the draperies
and showed the martyred president,
sitting in a chair, his face bearing the
old, careworn, kindly expression
familiar to the people of the entire
world. Special trains from Louisville
and other points nearby began arriv-
ing early and by the time the cere-
monies began at II o'clock several
thousand people were crowded about
the platform surrounding the statue.

L. S. Consul, transferred from Char
lottetown, P. f. l., a transfer that
means promotion. Under the caption
of "Regrettable Departure" the Daily
Patriot, published at Charlottetown, in
a double loaded leader, thus speaks of
Col Hale and family:
Mr.. Franklin d. Hale, United States
Consul at this port, Mrs. Hale and fam
lily, leave here on Saturday for New
York, whence they will sail on the 2lst
inst, for Trinidad, at which place Mr..
Hale will assume the Consular duties.
1t was just year last June that Mr..
Hale and his family came to Charlotte
town, and during that altogether too
short residence in this city, they have
gained the respect and esteem of the
people. Indeed it is not too much to
say that the Consul and Mrs. Hale have
endeared themselves to the people of
Charlottetown and that all classes and
creeds will deeply regret their departure
from among us. Mr.. Hale had only
been a brief time here when he fully
entered into the welfare of our people
and the religious and moral advance.
ment of our city. He took promi-
nent and active part in all that makes
for the betterment of a community and
the good of it's people. In the Church,
in education and Oh the lecture plat
form, Mr.. Hale proved himself schol-
ary gentleman and reflected additional
lustre upon the great country which he
has the honor to represent, and on the
educational institution whence he grad
uated.
His lecture on "Abraham Lincoln" on
the centenary of that ilustrious states
mans birth, was an admirable one, and
will never fade from the recollections of
the great audience who heard him on
that memorable occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hale have, by their
kindly dispositions, and those other
traits of character which mark the true
man and woman, further strengthened
the Ties which bind the English speak
ing people and the Canadian with the
Americans. They and their family
carry away with them to the Tropics
