Washington, the city which knew
Lincoln in his prime, the city in which
the great and eventful days of his life
were spent and the scene of his death,
did honor to him yesterday. The holiday
proclaimed by the President closed the
government departments and the schools,
and. taking advantage Of the opportunity
to hear men who knew Lincoln well
as one friend can know another, the peo-
pie of the city fiocked to the meetings,
which were held in churches and public
halls yesterday. Lincoln's own boys in
blue, the G. a. r., conducted memorial
services in honor of the centennial an
niversary of Lincoln's birth. ministers
used as texts phases of his life. In the
House of Representatives Lincolns great
speech at Gettysburg was read. and last
night patriotic organizations gave din
ners and heard speeches in honor of the
man and the day.
There were hundreds of men and wom-
en- at the celebration in Masonic Temple
yesterday afternoon who had known or
at least seen Lincoln. The doors were
opened at ; O'Clock. and it seemed that
in five minutes the big hall was filled
there who brought with them bright
memories of interviews and hand clasps
with Lincoln. One woman. who was
among the earliest to reach the hall,
brought with her proudly a little diary,
in which she had kept since her girlhood
a leaf which had dropped from a tree on
the White House grounds and which had
rested for moment on Lincoln's fore
head. w. w. Lyon. an employe of the
War Department, who was member Of
the Indiana delegation in the convention
which nominated Lincoln for the presi-
dency. was in the audience and was asked
to the platform. And there were count
less others whose reverence for the great
man memory is boundless

will not be any good to Mr.. Lincoln. So

concerned. you might cover the entire
country with Lincoln monuments and
they would add nothing to his fame.
