AT LINcoLN'S TOMB.
World Representatives Gather Amid
 the Scenes of His Earliest Triumphs.

Springfield, H., Feb. 12.-Amid 2 scene of unrivalled brilliancy at the state arIpory tonight three nations paid tribute to the emancipator and to one another.
 The French ambassador, Jusserand, brought a message from France; the British ambassador, Bryce, eulogy from England, while William J. Bryan of Nebraska and United States Sena- tor J. P. Deliver of Iowa laid Amer ica's wreath of respect at the feet of Lincoln.
 This was a fitting climax for a re- markable all-day celebration that took the distinguished guests and two score others over scenes associated with Lincoln's life.
 An impressive feature of the cele- bration was the scene at the Lincoln tomb, where Robert T. Lincoln, son of the martyred president, stood beside the sareophabus in which the remains of his father rest, and with tear dimmed eyes, spent several moments in silent meditation.
 Mir. Bryce's EuIogy.
 You are met to commemorate a great man, one of your greatest, great in what he did, even greater in what he was" said MT. Bryce. "One hun dred years have passed since in a lowly hut in the bordering state of Kentucky this child of obscure and un- lettSred parents was born into a coun- try then still wild and thinly peopled. Three other famous men were born in that same year in England: Alfred Tennyson, the most gifted poet who has used our language since, Words worth. died; William Gladstone, the most powerful. versatile and high minded statesman of the last two gen. erations in Britain, and Charles Oar win, the greatest naturalist since Lin naeus. and chief among the famous scientific discoverers of the nineteenth century. It was a wonderful year and one who knew these three illustrious Englishmen whom I have named is tempted to speak of them and compare and contrast each one of them with that illustrious contemporary of theirs whose memory we are met to honor. He quilted this world long before them, but with a record to which a long life could scarcely have added any further luster.
 "Of the personal impression he made on those who knew him." continued the speaker, you will hear from some of the few yet living who can recollect him. All I can contribute is a remin- iscence of what reached us in England. I was an undergraduate student in the University of Oxford when the civil war broke out Well do I remember the surprise when the republican na- tional convention nominated him as a candidate for the presidency, for it had been expected that the choice would fall upon William H. Seward. I rec ollect how it slowly dawned upon Eu- ropeans in 1862 and 1863 that the president could be no ordinary man, because he never seemed cast down by the reverses which befel his armies, because he never let himself be hur-

STIRLING DIVORCE SUIT.
A Left Handed Tribute to the Capti-
 vating Mrs. Atherton.

Edinburg, Feb. 12.-The Stirling cross suits for divorce entered upon their final stages today, counsel ad- dressing the court on behalf of their respective clients. The solicitor gen. eral opened the case by at once asso- ciating Mrs. Atherton's name with that of MT Stirling, and recalling the al- legged intimacy of the twain while Mrs. Stirling was in America. Mrs. Atker- ton flushed slightly as the Solicitor general spoke of her past.
 Her record is not unimpeachable." :" he said. Her talent for intrigue is great, her personal attractions are ob- vious and her virtue is easy"

 It was, he said, shameless pros titution' of the privilege of free speech which members enjoyed on the floor of the house.
 For his. utterance, MT. Lowering was promptly called to order by MT Lawrence of Massachusetts, his col league, who was. in the chair. MT Lowering protested that he had men, toned no, names except that MT Rainey, and those which had been spoken of in the house and in the public press.
 Continuing MT. Lowering declared the evidence was complete and suf- ficient to convict the blackmailers who have tried to work their game, not only on the gentlemen have named but on both political parties.
 Last fall he said an effort was made to sell the stories to the demo- cratic campaign committee and that certain leaders of that party took the matter under consideration, but they were not used because they could not be substantiated. He charged that for nearly two years prior these same men had been pur- suing Cromwell with the expectation that he would pay them large sum of money to have stories sup pressed
 Lowering declared that those per sons. were always met by Cromwell with an indigant refusal and the reply that they might do what they pleased with their stories, for they were nothing but lies. Those people he said, finding Cromwell deeply in- terested in Tafts campaign thought he would submit to pay something rather than have any publicity al that moment. They said to him Lowering asserted, "even though they be no truth in this story, buy and bury it.''
 It was at this time, he said, "wher they failed in their demands upon Cromwell that they took their ne- farious wares to Mr. Mack chair man of the democratic national com- mittee and offered them for sale for campaign purposes While they were not accepted, he said, the mem bers of the democratic party enter ed into an agreement with MT Rainey, 'to exploit the subject or the floor of the house" This, he has attempted to do by introducing a resolution of inquiry"
 He charged, however, that Rainey 'singularly enough" had taken nc steps to bring about any, investiga- ton.
 Observing Lowering reading his speech MT. Rainey inquired: Did the gentleman prepare the manu- script, or did William Nelson Crom- well do so?''
 Every word I prepared myself, nol has he ever seen a word of it" LOv- ering replied.
 Mir. Rainey promised that at the first opportunity he would make 2 reply.
 In a brief, but frey speech, Mir Gains, of Tennessee, declared that ir order to get at the bottom of the case the Rainey resolution should be passed.
 NIT. Fitzgerald of New York, ob- jected to the reading of a letter from w. S. Harvey charging Rainey with false statements, and on the vote being taken, the house refused tC hear it and adjourned.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. According
as indications pointed yesterday. PENIS
coaches have good reason to be worried
about the team prior to the Lafayette
game this Saturday.
The spirit of overconfdence which IN
years past has pervaded the team to a
certain extent after such a game as that
against the Indians last Saturday seems
now to have descended upon the Quaker
eleven.
Even in signal practise prior to any
scrimmage work the ball was not held
or carried consistently, and when the
varsity was lined up for scrimmage
az 1inst the scrubs the pigskin was FUN
bled in the majority of plays. Only by
the most sheer luck was the varsity
able to score a touchdown against its
opponents, Braddock being sent over the
goal line from a forward pass.

PRINCETON. Nov. 4.

A FTER two days of slow and
ragged work the Tigers squad
came back yesterday and showed
a little real football The last couple of
practises have been characterized by
much weakness. However. yesterday
afternoon the only noticeable point was
the old lack of scoring power when the
varsity was IN the shadow of the scrub
goal.
The first team scored -four touch
downs, but twice they were held with
In the Vineyard line. The scrub played
mighty good football, but were un-
able to stop the rushes and runs OF
Hart and Sparks. The coaches seemed
pleased after the men were sent in,
and were especially delighted With the
work of the ends.
Bill Edwards. 1906, was on the field.
and when a big parade of Under
graduates arrived. his idea of letting
them line the side Of the gridiron in
stead of sitting on the stands vas car
ried out, and the work of both varsity
and scrub picked up in consequence.
Another cause was the return of most
of the regulars TO the lineup. Dawson,
Read and McCrohan were not in the
scrimmage, but nearly everybody else
seemed to be in fair shape again
