1909 LINCOLN 1909

The Centennial Anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln will occur
next year, and 1t is now time for Grand
Army Posts, WomaEs Relief Corps and
all other patriotic organizations and So
cieties, which may have been formed
having similar ends in view. to begin
preparations for the purpose OF ftly ce1e-
brating that important event
Osborn H. Oldroyd, whose residence Is
now in the same house In which Lincoln
died at Washington. d. C., has prepared
an appropriate service to commemorate
that occasion.
The program, containing some 20 num-
bers, consists OF songs, recitations and
four articles covering the different
ases of Lincoln's life. It is a 20-page
illustrated pamphlet, printed on good
paper and in attractive style. The price
of this edition. or compilation. has been
placed at 10 cents per copy, 81 Der dozen
OF IS per 100. It seems impossible that
there can exist a single Post or Corps
that could not subscribe for and easily
dispose of at least 100 copies OF this pro-
duction, and thus make a profit of an
amount equal to purchase price, besides
serving as an educator to the people
upon the true greatness of the charActef
of Abraham Lincoln. Orders sent pre-
paid on receipt OF price.

Indebtedness In England.

Editor National Tribune: Kindly in
form me whether the United States is
at this present time indebted to Eng
land? If so. for what2 1 have been
quite frequently told this by British
subjects, who are at the present time
residents of the Dominion. Not being
conyersant with the question, / have
been unable to answer them properly.
II. Crist, Marine City. Canada.
Between two such great countries as
Great Britain and the United States
there must be always some unsettled
claims which are in the process of ad-
judication. There are doubtless many
Of these now in the process of exami-
nation and settlement between Eng
land and the United tSates. Whether
the balance is on our side or that of
Great Britain no one can tell. There
is no long-standing debt, however. on
either side.-Editor National Tribune.

Owen II. Wright, 14th Ind. Fort

platform promises revision, and we
must have revision. Owing to high
freights coal is $3.50 a ton at Dodge

Revise the tariff with a view of encour-

of 1000 different articles there must
Lbe many changes which should be
made. Coffee, fiber and rubber should
be protected, and if they are there will
have to be new ships built to keep up

result is that the House Navy Commit

a provision requiring the marines to

that means the Navy appropriation bill
will be fought by the Presidents friends
all the way thru Congress. The Re

at all times will try to get the House

CROWDS SEE "OLD GLORY"
NAILED ON SKYSCRAPER TOP,

Traffic officers at the -Four CoTSers"
had the time of their lives today keep
ing the crowds on the go at that busy
junction. Everyone seemed bent upon
crowding about the walks anI gazing
up at the daring ironworkers putting
into place "Old Glory" on what some
say is the highest point In New Jersey,
the Firemen's Insurance building.
1t all happened at IL O'Clock today,
when the topmost corner upright of the
steel work was put In place by the con-
struction gang. It's top is just 205 feet
above the level of the street. and the
pillar had not been In position three
minutes until Obey Neass, one of the
nerviest ironworkers In the country,
was up on the extreme top of h pillar
with a wooden flagstaff and q bundle
of rope to lash 1t to the top of the
pillar.
Below him, holding a big American
flag, stood Harry Johnson, foreman of
the ironworlSers, and his assistant. Pete
Petersen. Neass quickly fastened the
pole in place. and then gave the signal
to Johnson and Petersen to haul away
on the halyards, and Old Glory broke
| out, amid the cheers of the people at
the -Four Corners" who were break
ing their backs doing h ''rubberneck'
act at the three men. The men APP
peared to be standing on thin air while

her by her mother, and is for board,
stable rent and services rendered the
testator during his life.
Kennedy died on June "a, 1907, Ind
left q will appointing his wife as ad-
ministratrix. She failed to file. an ac-
counting until cited to do 30 In Deem
Der, 1908. Exceptions were filed to the

titled hat at the time Of her marriage
Kennedy was In the coal and ice bust
ness, while she conducted a grocery and
sslocn in a building left to her by her
former husband. She stated further
that Kennedy never contributed toward
h family expenses, although he lived
in her house with her and her daugl-
tiers, and that she paid him for all Of
the Goa and ice she bought from him.
Questioned further Mrs. Kennedy
testified that they lived happily to-
gether and that Kennedy had promised
to pay board but had never done so.
This testimony was all excluded under
the rule Of evidence as to the testi-
mony of interested parties in claims
against ~decedents and she had. no
proof Of her claim. Although he reco-
mended the disallowance OF this claim
