SUPT. WATCH0RN WILL SPEAK
sour Immigration Problem'' His sub
iect Before Friday Evening Club.

ssOur Immigration Problem His SUBJ
1ect Before FRIDAY Evening Club.
Owing to the development of po-
litical situation in Denver, which
threatens to overthrow the establish
ment of the JuveEile court to which
Judge Lindsey has devoted great
deal of his life's best effort, he has
been obliged to give up the idea Of a
lecture tour in the east this February,
and has cancelled all his engagements.
ia order to make every effort to pre-
ver6 the undoing of the great con-
s. fuctiye service which he has done
for the boys, not only Of his own, but
of all our great cities. While the mem
bers Of the Friday Evening club will
be sorry4to have tc ..srego for the pres
ent the pleasure of receiving Judge
Lindsey and hearing his lecture, al
of the members will wish him every
success in the gallant fight he is max
ing and triumphant issue from it.
For long time there has been a
wish on the part Of many of the mem
bers of the club to have the opportun-
ity to receive Supt. Robert Watchorn
of the Bureau Of immigration at Ellis
Island, BY good fortune, he is able to
come to Morristown on the 10Th OF
February, which is the third Friday
of the month and the regular meeting
day of the club; and so he will take
Judge Lindsley's place and speak on
the subject of "Our Immigration
Problem.
The executive committee of the
club hopes that the members will take
particular notice Of this change Of ar
rangements, and so make their en-
gagements that They may be able to
hold this date open for the regular
meeting.

and of laughter. He, the babe that
came here OF parents poor and almost
illiterate, is the reason for the temple
for the crowds and for the oratory.
He is likewise the reason for the ma
tion existing at all in its present form
So these humble acres are not all un-
productive, even though they cannot
grow crops, for they brought forth a
great soul to lead a people from bond
age and to place before mems eyes a
type of charity and forbearance that
will make us all tenderer and better
for having seen.
The Lincoln farm, after passing out
of the ownership of Thomas Lincoln,
belonged for many years to a family
of the name of Creal, after which it
was bought by New York capitalist,
Mr. bennett, who made some i'm
provements on it with the idea of
changing it into a national park. This
was abandoned, however, because of
business reverses. The farm became
tied up in the litigation of the Den
nett estate and for years was neglect
ed. At last it was sold at public auc
tion by the authorities of Larue coun-
ty. KY, when it was purchased by
Richard Lloyd Jones as a representa-
tive of Robert j. Collier. A Lincoln
farm association was formed, with
Governor Folk of Missouri at it's head
and various distinguished men on its
directorate. To this body Mr.. Collier
turned over the farm, popular sub
scriptions were raised memorial
building was erected, and other inn
provements were made. AS a result
the Lincoln birthplace farm on Feb.
IL will be opened to the public ASA
national park. From a scenic aspect
lit is beautiful spot, Near to the
plaza fronting the memorial building
is the famous rock spring, and not far
distant is picturesque creek, On the
banks of which the boy Lincoln play
ed.
In addition to the dedication of the
farm, statue Of Lincoln will be un-
veiled In Hodgenville. More important
still, 1t is now practically certain that
some form of memorial will be erected
at Washington, a step that should
have been taken long ago.
Everything connected with Abra-
ham Lincoln is held precious by the
American people. His birthplace and
his tomb, his acts and his words, the
people with whom he associated, oil
are objects of a popular interest such
as has been aroused by few men In
the history of nations. Compared
with Lincolns simple greatness most
of the characters grouped around him
suffer by contrast. This is true even
Of his family. For one feel that jus
tice has never been done Mrs. Lincoln.
She was not without prophetic quail
tty in divining her husbands future
eminance- she had spiritual insight.

The Fleet Homeward Bound.

The Prudential Insurance company
is issuing an artisticallY beautiful pic
ture Of The American battleship fleet
steaming away from Gibraltar, home
ward bound. The picture is ia colors
and gives a splendid idea OF the beauty
and power Of the American warships.
The scene presents 6he Connecticut,
flying the flag of Rear Admiral C. S.
Sperry, leading the first division of the
fleet past the Rock of Gibraltar. 1t
will inspire even the veriesU landluh-
Der who doesn't know belaying-p pin
from a marlinspike.
In a charming letter of travel, pub
lished few months since, William
Dean Howells, describing his feelings
in approaching Gibraltar, writes:
There is nothing strikes the travel
er in his approach Of the Rock of Gil
braltar, so much as its resemblance to
the trade mark to the Prudential II :
surance company. This was my feel
ng when ! first saw Gibraltar, four
years ago, and it remains my feeling
after having last seen it, four weeks
ago. The eye seeks the bold, familiar
legend, and one suffers a certain disap-
pointment in its absence.
No one will be disappointed in this
strong representation of 'the bold,
familiar legend" of the Prudential.
AS if carved in the face of the rick, it
looks down upon the passing feet like
a message of Godspeed.
The Prudential has also published,
for free circulation, a most interesting
booklet containing separate pictures
of each ship in the fleet, and giving
tonnage, speed, armament, number Of
crew, etc. A copy of either this book
let or picture may be had for the ask
ing. Write to the Prudential lnsur-
ance Company OF America, Newark,
N. j., stating which is preferred, or ii
both are desired, state so in your
letter

LINCOLN IN 1862. the latest tenant
was unable to make enough from the
place to meet the taxes, just as the
earliest one of record, certain farmer
carpenter of the name Of Thomas Lin
coin; failed to get enough out of the
barren acres to pay for them.
Yet this stony, unproductive spot of
earth is now one of the worlds
shrines. On Feb. II presidents. gov
ernors, judges, cardinals and cabinet
ministers foregather there to crate and
dedicate these rocks and sterile soil
patches to the people for all the days
to come. On one of the hills white
memorial hall patterned after Greek
temple will likewise be consecrated
and left as a Mecca for future genera
tions. The temple incloses an old one
room log cabin, with stick chimney,
one door, one window and no floor at
all. In this cabin was born man
child whom the world has taken to its
Iheart-Abraham Lincoln, war president
and liberator, man of meekness and
mercy, strange compound of sorrow
