Lecture Course Program
Tomorrow Night.
PROGRAM entertaining.

The College Singing Girls and Wal
ter Eccles the next number of the pop
ular entertainment course that is to
be held at the Coliseum Wednesday
evening will undoubtedly be one of
the strongest numbers of the entire
program. The members of the sing
ing girls are professional singers Sc
lected as far as possible from women
who have been college students. All
the members have exceptionally good
solo voices, that properly blend in
concerted work. They are young wo-
men of refinement and culture is evil
dent from their platform style.
The concert is given with a dash
and enthusiasm suggestive of college
life. Many amusing and entertaining
features are introduced which add to
the attractiveness of the program.
However the principal merit rests with
the ability Of the young women to
properly render the best musical num-
bers which go to make up a first class
program.
Mr. Walter Eccles who is assisted by
the girls is in the very front rank OF
entertainers. His repertoire includes
humorous songs, representations and
humorous recitals.

LINCOLN REDivUs.

All over the country there is re-
vival OF interest in the Great Emanci'
pator. Not only is it his centennial
year, but the tide Of time has ebbed
for enough to that his vast figure
looms up In more magnificent proper
tons than ever, towering over all the
figures which once seemed so great
In their~time.
The story Of how this lonely noble
man struggled on alone, almost de-
serted by the men who had brought
on the crisis of the Union is indeed
the Great American Tragedy. And so
It Is that on the date OF his birth one
hundred years later all the country
pauses to do him reverence.
Shall Richmond be left out OF this?
10 1t not particularly appropriate
that in a community which was con-
spicuous before the war for its senti'
ments of emancipation and which Ia
ter on supplied many OF the best
troops in the war; nay more. In a
community which nurtured the war
governor OF Indiana who was Lin
coins mainstay, that something
should be done to commemorate the
birth OF the man who at one time
spent his formative period in the state
Of Indiana?
It Is not too late to begin a move
ment for some permanent expression
OF the sentiments of the community
toward the noblest American of the
last hundred years.

Mr. Wigmore said: In my opinion

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
To the Proprietor of the Richmond

To the Proprietor Of the Richmond
Palladium:
My Dear Mr.. Leeds-Will you kindly
permit me to express my appreciation
and commendation OF your admirable
editorial in yesterdays issue, disap-
proving the article about Mr.. William
Dudley Foulke of this city reprinted
from the Marion Chronicle in your
last Sundays edition:
The Marion editorial is simply an
act of journalistic assault and battery
which, il unamenable to laws govern
ing criminal action, reveals a danger
point in our civilization. If proprie-
tors, managers and editors of public
prints are under no restraint of any
sense of personal integrity and re-
sponsibility: IL they are absolutely
free to print everything they please
with no respect for anybody or any
thing, then there is dire need for wise
and effective legislation, in order to
ascertain the true law of liberty.
There is scarcely a line in the bulky
Marion screed that is devoid of vicious
intention. M. Foulke needs no defense
of his person, his character, nor of his
of himself in a scrap-but Richmond
people are not likely to maintain
silence when such a malignant attack
Is made upon one their most honored
desirable and exemplary citizens. The
undersigned is quite astonished to
learn that such an article emanated
from Marion, Ind, for more than a
dozen years ago. he was called to a
brief oversight of certain conditions
in Marion, and he was then deeply i'm
pressed with the high character of
the people of that city.
Mr.. William Dudley Foulke is a
most praiseworthy citizen in respect
OF his persistent political independ-
ence. He has degree of patriotism
and public service that requires neither
tenure nor emolument of Office, neither
patience nor timidity in dealing with
evil deeds and evil doors in public af-
fairs to satisfy his ambition. He be-
longs properly and easily to class of
men who need not even be named
when intelligent citizens contemplate
some very noble instances of self-sac-
rifice to the best political ideals.
Such men do not finch from any
real issue or legitimate method Of war
fare, except the detestable tactics OF
garrotters and assassins. Yours faith
fully,
J. EVEREST CATHELL.

your editorial Of yesterday concern

Foulke. When the professional poll

The exact cause Of the complaint
registered with council and the board
Of works was that Mr.. Waterman had
failed to clean off the snow around
the market house.
Mr. Won Pein mildly suggested that
man and that he be goaded to cleaning
off the walk. AS far as Mr.. Won Pein
was aware Mr.. Walterman's only oc-
cupation was sitting around his broth
er's cigar store.
