"Cbe Elation's Prophet"

From abraham Lincoln, a Poem" By the
Rev. Dr. Lyman Whitney Allen, pastor of the
South Pork Presbyterian Church, THIS city. G. P.
Putnam d; Sons, NeW York.
The Hour was come, and with it rose the man
Ordained of God and fashioned for the hour;
The savior of a race
For whom wrought ever, since the world began,
The subtle energies of thought and power
In lneal lines of grace.
A master mind was his that gazing saw
The refuent tide of battle, felt the fires
That swept all whitening;
A master-mind, set to a higher law,
That heard, above the Earth's ~despairing quires
Ofheavenly promise sing.
Unrufled like the mighty undersea,
Calm like the star above the shifting cloud,
Abiding truth and time,
Full mantled with a prophets majesty
He stood, the nations larger soul, endowed &
With faith and hope sublime

RARE LINCOLN
NEGATIVE BY CHANCE.
STAR First to Publish
Picture Hudson Man Made.

The hitherto unpublished photo of
Lincoln, published on page 1 today,
was made from an undeveloped proof
from the negative of a photograph
taken of President Lincoln shortly
after his arrival in Washington, a few
days prior to his Inauguration, in
March, 1861. This photo has never
been published In any but this news
paper.
Robert l.. Fleming, of Ill Clifford
avenue, Jersey City, some years ago in
New York came across the negative
and bought it. He made the picture,
presenting it to the Lincoln Club Of
Brooklyn, to which he belongs. This
club at the time possessed a collection
of all known photographs of President
Lincoln, but when the proof of the
Lincoln negative was shown to Presi-
dent Swan he said that it had never
been published and was valuable.
Mr.. Fleming cannot recall the name
of the party who sold him the negative,
and it is impossible to locate him.
Mr.. Fleming has made a few copies
from this amous negative and the only
other possessor of a copy than the Lin
coin Club of Brooklyn is William B..
Woodland, a stock and bond broker of
A South street, this city. Mr.. Wood
and got the copy from Mr.. Fleming.

CELEBRATION
in CATHEDRAL SCHOOL.
The Rev. |. P. WheIan Gives a
Talk TO Children.

More than 700 children of the Cathe-
dral School assembled in the school
hall yesterday afternoon to honor the
memory of Abraham Lincoln. The hall
was tastefully decorated with a pro-
fusion of bunting, while "OId Glory"
was draped around an immense pic
ture of the great martyred President.
On the stage was placed his bust and
directly behind on the wall was his
address at Gettysburg, the gift Of the
different Grand Army posts, several
members of which visited the school
last week to encourage patriotism in
the minds n hearts of the pupils.
Judging from the enthusiasm evinced
by the pupils, little encouragement in
this respect was needed. The program
rendered was Of a varied nature. All
the numbers were of a nature recall
ing the traits of this great heart, that
rose from ~obscurity to the van of
Americas highest ambition, her chief
executive. A feature was an original
biographical sketch by one of the girl
pupils, Miss Gertrude Schmelz. Mas
ter Thomas Byrnes, a rising orator,
delivered the Gettysburg address.
The Rev. I. P. Whelan, pastor, spoke
to the children as follows:
you are assembled here this after
noon to honor the memory of a. man
who rose from obscurity to the highest
position in the land. The great Lib
coin was a man of simplicity. The
highest honors that the nation could
bestow upon him never turned his
mind in the direction Of concceit or
pride, and his honest heart never
swerved from the cause of righteous
ness.
Faithful to the teachings of a gentle
