HONORED LINCOLN'S MEMORY
Famous Men Celebrate at Springfield,
ILL.,, the Centenary of
His Birth.

Springfield, Ill. - Amid a scene
of unrivalled brilliancy at the
state armory last night, where thous-
dazzling illumination upon a most ar
tistic array of national colors and por-
traits of Lincoln, three nations paid
their tribute to the emancipator and
to each other French Ambassador
Jusserand brought the message from
France, British Ambassador Bryce the
eulogy of England, while William j.
Bryan of Nebraska and United States
Senator Dolliver of Iowa laid Amer
ica's wreath of respect at the feet of
Lincoln.
This was fitting climax for the re-
markable all-day celebration which
took the distinguished guests men
toned above, and two score others,
through the old Lincoln home; past
the old court house where Lincoln
practiced law; by the building where
his Office was situated, to the old
church where Lincoln worshipped and
where his name yet appears upon the
pew he occupied, and to his burial
place.
An impressive feature of the cele-
bration was the scene at the Lincoln
tomb when Robert T. Lincoln, son of
the martyred president, stood beside
the sarcophagus in which the body of
his father rests, and bowed his head
with tear-dimmed eyes in silent medi-
tation with Ambassadors Jusserand
and Bryce, and many other distin-
guished guests. At the base of the
monument, old soldiers who had re-
sponded to Lincoln's call to arms,
stood guard with fixed bayonets.
At the armory at night 700 men sat
at tables facing an elevated speakers
stand upon which was spread the
table for the honored guests

"The devil" said I.
YES" said Barris, gravely; "the
devil, if you like-a devil-a member
of the Kuen-Yuin."
l drew my chair close to the ham,
mock where Pierpont lay at full
length, holding out to me a ball of
pure gold.
"Well?" said /, examining the en-
craving on the surface, which repre-
sented a mass of twisted creatures

WELL" repeated Barris, extending
his hand to take the golden ball, this
globe of gold engraved with reptiles
and Chinese heiroglyphics is the SYM
boil of the KuenYuin."
"Where did you get it?" 1 asked,
feeling that something startling was
impending.
"Pierpont found it by the lake at
sunrise this morning. 1t is the SYM
boil of the Kuen-Yuin," he repeated;
"the terrible Kuen-Yuin, the sorcer-
ers of China, and the most murder
ously diabolical sect on earth"
We puffed our cigarettes in silence
until Barris rose, and began to pace
backward and forward among the
trees, twisting his gray mustache.
"The Kuen-Yuin are sorcerers," he
said, pausing before the hammock
where Pierpont lay watching him; 81
mean exactly what l say-sorcerers.
I've seen them-I've seen them at
their devilish business, and | repeat
to you solemnly, that as there are
angels above, there is a race of devils
on earth, and they are sorcerers.
BAH" he cried, talk to me of Indian
magic and Yogis and all that clap
trap! Why, Roy, l tell you that the
Kuen-Yuin have absolute control of
100000,000 people, mind and body,
body and soul. Do you know what
goes on in the interior of China?
Does Europe know-could any human
being conceive of the condition of
that gigantic hell-pit? You read the
papers, you hear diplomatic twaddle
about Ii Hung Chang and the en-
peror, you see accounts of battles on
sea and land, and you know that Japan
has raised a toy tempest along the
Jagged edge of the great unknown
But you never before heard of the
Kuen-Yuin; no, nor has any European
except a stray missionary or two, and
yet | tell you that when the fires from
this pit of hell have eaten through
the continent to the coast, the ex-
ploson will inundate half world
