MILLIONS ARE TO PAY HOMAGE
TO NATIONS IDOL ON FRIDAY
Winchester TO Unite In Lincoln Celebration President Roosevelt To Have
Principal Address Dedication OF Memorial Hall On Kentucky Farm

Washington. Feb. 11-Reports
reaching here from all parts of the
United States indicate that the obser-
vance of Lincoln centennial day will
be general throughout the country.
All of the northern states will cele-
brate the day, and many of the south
ern states will follow the lead of Ar
kansas, where Governor Donaghey is
sued a proclamation setting aside
Feb. II as semi-holiday and calling
attention to the greatness of Lincoln
as man. The governors proclama-
ton declared that Lincoln should be
more honored by the south.
The celebration in the national cap
ital will take the form of meetings,
at which addresses will be made by
men of national and local prominence.
President Roosevelt will be at the
Lincoln farm in Kentucky, Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks will be in Harris
burg, Pa, and many of the other lead
ers Of public life here will be at their
homes, but sufficient number will
remain in Washington to give the Gel
ebration national character to some
extent. The large negro population
of the city has made elaborate prep
arations for honoring the one hun
dredth birthday of the great liberator.
By act of congress tomorrow will be
a legal holiday in the District of Co
lumbia and the territories.
A feature of Lincoln day at the cap
ital that will be of national interest
will be the issue of the special Lin
coin two-cent stamp. 1t will be red
and will bear portrait of Lincoln
taken from the statute by st. eau
dens in Chicago.

Prominent Part In Celebration As

New York, Feb. 11.-As the greatest
city of the nation which will honor
the memory of Abraham Lincoln to-
morrow, New York will have a not
able part in the celebration of the one
hundredth birthday of the emanci-
pator. Lincoln's birthday has been a
legal holiday in New York for several
years, and the general cessation of
work is an annual occurrence, but to-
morrow even those business houses
which have heretofore failed to OBJ
serve the holiday will close their
doors. Stores, offices, shops and
dwelling houses will be adorned with
flags, and greater display of bunt-
ing than has even before marked a
holiday in the metropolis is expected.
Mayor Mcclellan has issued proc
lamation calling on citizens to decor
ate their homes, and he has asked
President Roosevelt to order the fir
ing of the national salute from every
United States warship, wherever 1t
may be. Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress is to be read in every army
post and on every war vessel. Cover
nor Hughes has been requested to
have salute fired from all the state
batteries.
For several months committee of
prominent citizens has been laboring
to make Lincoln centennial day one
Of the greatest in the history Of the
city. Owing to the season, however,
there will be no outdoor features OF
the celebration. Probably the part OF
the city's program that has attracted
most attention among the people is
the gathering Of the city's school
children in the public schools to hear
the character Of Lincoln extolled, to
listen to the reading of the Gettys-
burg address and to sing patriotic
songs. The school children, number

coin day celebration tomorrow will
take various forms The principal
feature will be the great mass meet
ing in the Auditorium, in which the

All the nations of ne world repre-
sented by consular officers in Chicago

tribute to Lincoln. The city is disap-
pointed by the inability of President

time that he would come here, but his
trip to the canal zone and tine BAN
quet in his honor in New Orleans in
tervened.

play of flags and bunting, most of the

Affair on Friday
Night.

All arrangements are about COM
plete for the great valentine party to
be held in the Auditorium Skating
Rink, Friday night by the Hart Chap
ter, Daughters of the American Rev

There will be pounds on pounds OF

The proceeds of the evening are a
nucleus for a fund to provide a
monument to Joel 7. Hart. the Clark
county sculptor. 1t is proposed to
erect it in Winchester In a
public place and thus commemorate
the life and deeds of one of the
men who has made Clark county
famous in the world.
Few people at home realize the po-
sition that Hart has taken in the
world of art. 1t is little enough the
people here can, do to remember him
after he is dead and to place mon
ument that will be standing in
spiration to the young men and wo-
men Of Clark county.

BEREA CAMP A|GN is
TO END THURSDAY
Mr.. CartneIl Reports That He Has
Net Met Success Expected
in Winchester.

The four days campaign in the
State by the Berea College officials
for the purpose of securing the re-
naming $4,000 necessary to build
an industrial school for the colored
people ofthe State, will come to a
close Thursday night.
Mr.. B. E. Cartnell, assistant Sec
teary of Berea College, who has been
in this city for the past four days
soliciting funds for the school will
leave Thursday night for Berea.
Mr.. Cartnell says that he has been
received very cordially by the people
of this city but that he has not met
with the success financially that he
expected.
If the $4,000 necessary to build
the school has not been subscribed by
Thursday night, then the campaign to
raise the money will cease for a few
weeks until the officials of the col
lege who have been taken away from
the work in their offices by being ac-
lively engaged in the campaign may
have a chance to catch up with their
office work.
When this is done, then the work
of securing the money will be resum-
ed. Reports from the other towns
when the campaign is being conduct
ed are that those who are soliciting
the funds are meeting with some sue
cess but not as much as was ex-
pected and it is not thought that the
$4,000 will be raised by Thursday
night.

FIRST STEPS TAKEN FOR JOINT
HIGH SCHOOL FOR CITY AND COUNTY
Two Boards Of Education Meet Thursday And Appoint Committee To
Take Matter Up And Report On March 3.

The joint meeting of the City and
County Boards of Education for the
purpose. of discussing the plan for
the erection of a joint High School
building here for the children of the
county as required by the new school
law, was held in the county court
room Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
No definite decision was arrived
at in regard to the school but the
members Of both boards seemed very
much in favor of having the school
built jointly by the county and city
and it now seems very probable that
this will be done.
On motion of County Attorney, S.
