until at years of age his mother sud-
denly died. For year we find him a
motherless boy, alone with his father
in the woods of Indiana, filled with
grief over the loss of his mother, yet
steadily doing those things which a
boy of his age could do about the farm,
hoeing corn, chopping wood, splitting
rails, developing physically and men
tally. We turn from contemplating
this 8-year-old boy to the nation of 100,-
100000 people that will tomorrow bow
in reverence akin to worship to the
memory Of this man-thiS poor farmer
lad.
Industry and Energy
'We note that Lincoln was an indus
trious boy, that he always did work be-
yond his years; that he developed
physically into a giant; that he laid up
in his youth treasures of physical en-
ergy which enabled him to survive the
greatest trials and greatest burdens
ever placed upon the shoulders of NOR
tai man. We note throughout his whole
career that he failed not in energy or
in doing that thing which was needed
to be done. There was no Sinking on
his part, no matter what the task
might be. We find him in the eager
pursuit Of learning-chopping five cords
Of wood for the privilege of reading a
single book; studying without teacher,
school or books
I'VE find that from the standpoint of
today Lincoln was without schooling
The things he learned he learned in
ways which would not now be account
ed educational. He read greedily the
books that he could procure. He read
the Bible carefully, studied it and be-
came familiar with it's language He
also read Pilgrims Progress" and the
newspapers containing accounts Of the
speeches Of Henry Clay, which he mem
orized. He read greedily everything
which came to hand and assimilated it
as far as possible. He was one who
hungered and thirsted after an educa-
tion. His mother, and later his step
mother, inspired him with the desire to
be somebody
Let us tonight emulate Lincolns eff
forts for an education, his greatness
and simplicity of heart, his tenderness
and kindness, his humility, his service
of others, to the end not only that we
may be happier, but also that the ma
ton and the world may be made bet
ter and happier as the ages roll on
Let us do our part to bring the world
one step nearer home"

Agricultural Bill Passes

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE agri-
cultural appropriation bill was passed
by the house today virtually as it came
from the committee. The debate drag
ged wearily on for several hours,
when the proceedings were enlivened
by a brief but spirited tilt between Mr..
Macon of Arkansas and Mr.. Cook of
Colorado.
A successful fight led by Mr.. SABBATH
of Illinois was made against the bill
amending the naturalization laws,
which, among other things, increased
the naturalization fee from $5 to $40.
By an emphatic vote the conference
report on the measure was rejected and
the bill laid on the table.
A tribute to Lincoln by Mr.. Boutelle
of Illinois closed the days proceedings.

his duties today as prosecutor in the
trial of Patrick Calhoun on an indict-
ment charging bribery, and the case
was, continued until next Monday

Mr.. Heney's condition, it is stated, is
by no means alarming, but his physi

he is suffering might be aggravated by
the inclement weather prvailing today.
The inability of the assistant district
attorney to attend was made known to
the attorneys for the defense at an
early hour and Mr.. Calhoun was ac-
companied by but two of his attorneys,
and the session of court occupied less
than ten minutes.
Meanwhile the twelve jurors tempo
rarily passed as the result of sessions
extending over four weeks must main
tain their connection with the case un-
til next Monday. 1t is then expected
that peremptory challenges will be eX-
ercised.
The associates of Mr.. Heney were
confident this morning that he would
be able to attend court Monday and
participate in dismissal of the jurors
challenges.

NAPA, Cal, Feb. 11.-Judge Gesford

and appointed David j. Brown fore
man.
The courts charge referred only to
the wrecking of the Bank of Calistoga,
saying:
1T has developed during the proceed

SANITARY SCIENCE
AS A PROTECTION
TO WAGE FARMERS
Importance of Remedying I'm
healthy Aspects of Hives Of
Modern Industry.
FREDERICK L. HOFFMAN
POINTS OUT THE DANGERS
In Lecture at Columbia Univer-
sity Urges Necessity for Bet
ter Medical Inspection.

An interesting address on Factory
Sanitation and Factory Hygiene was
made at Columbia University yesterday
by Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician
of the Prudential Insurance Company.
This was Mr.. Hoffman's second adj
dress In the Columbia course on sani-
tary science and public health. 1t is
Of especial intercept to Newark manu-
facturers and to factory workers.
After calling attention to the growth
of modern industry and the increasing
proportion of wage-earners employed
in manufacturing and mechanical pur-
suits. the speaker referred to the physi-
cal effects of industrial changes and the
sanitary aspects of the factory system
at the present time. He emphasized
h serious evils of sanitary neglect,
the effects of indoor ~employments on
health, the general relation of labor
conditions to health, and the impor-
lance of physical health and strength
as a basis for Industrial efficiency.
Importance of Medical Inspection.
Mr.. Hoffman discussed the question
Of child labor, the employment of
women in industry. the value of occu-
patton mortality statistics, and at some
length the researches of all the impor-
tant authorities on industrial medicine
during the last 200 years.
After briefly commenting upon the
work OF each writer whose works had
become standard authorities on the dis
eases of occupation, the speaker dis
cussed the importance of original re-
search n the exceptional opportunities
for such research work in the United
States.
In comparing the progress of factory
legislation in this country and abroad
Mr.. Hoffman spoke of the Importance
of medical factory inspectors as ar in
d~ispensable aid to efficient work. He
referred to the extensive Investigations
In England into Industrial diseases,
which were made the basis for the sub
sequent w~orkingmen's compensation
laws. The speaker made very favorable
mention of the comparatively recent in
vestigation into the sanitary condition
of industriesin Massachusetts,. providing
for an adequate andl rational factory
Inspector.
Danger from Dust.
He discussed In brief the danger
from industrial dust, from gases and
fumes, and in particular the relation
of dust to consumption mortality; the
importance of ventilation and dust re-
moval. the principles of dust proven
ton. the need Of sanitary legislation.

of w-orkingmen's compensation, the
hygienic value of welfare institutions,
finally concluding with remarks upon
the physical and social basis of la
Dor efficiency II the practical and
humane objects of Industrial hygiene.
Modern factory legislation said
Mr.. Hoffman, reaches into the yitals
of the problem by prohibiting entire
ly .the work of small children, by linn
iting the hours of labor for young per-
sons, by controlling the hours OF la
Dor for women and by otherwise safe
guarding and protecting the interests
of all.
Legislation Inefficient.
1T is true that as yet our factory
legislation is very tar from what 1t
ought to be; it is thoroughly inefficient
in many States and In many direc-
tons; it requires to be coordinated to
the researches, knowledge and under
standing of medical science through
the appointment of medical factory in
spectors, and it needs to be amplifed
and made more perfect by statutory
requirements as to the physical exam-
ination of young persons about to en-
gage in trades and industries which
experience has taught are decidedly
injurious to health and life.
Factory supervision, developed and
perfected in conformity to the re-
searches into the vast field of occu-
patton diseases, must be productive of
vast benefits to factory workers, from
the humblest occupation to the best.
Industry is indispensable to the well
fare If mankind, but common moral
ity, common decency and common
sense require hat the toll which it ex-
acts in health and life shall be re-
duced to the minimum.
BLESSINGS to BE Had.
ITO secure that end, the cooperation
of medical science is necessary to an
ever-increasing extent, n the field of
sanitary science requires to be ma
terially enlarged to comprehend all the
various problems which more or less
affect the health and w~ell-being and
longevity of those employed in indus
try. Medical and sanitary science
thus perfected and enlarged will in
crease the countless blessings which
both have conferred upon mankind"
