LINCOLN CENTENARY
CELEBRATION.
Immense Crowd Present-Exercises
Fine and Enjoyed by AIl-Able
Address by Judge Law.

Central Hall was certainly taxed to
its utmost capacity last Friday evening,
it being the occasion of the Lincoln
centenary celebration. 1t was necessa-
ry to borrow a number of chairs from
A.V. Parmlee, to whom the committee
is thankful but with the additional
seats many were obliged to stand dur
ing theexercises. Never nsice Central
Hall was built has it held such crowd
of people.
Rev. p III. Case, pastor of the Pres
byterian church opened the exercises
by prayer.
Mayor Beavis ably presided as chair
man, and the program was carried out
to perfection by the pupils of our pub
lie schools. The solo "The Sword Of
Bunker Hill" by Carl Wagner of Port
Huron was finely rendered, and the
singer was compelled to give an encore
which he gracefully did.
The address on the life and character
of Abraham Lincoln by Judge Law
furnished much food for thought and
was an able production.
The Judge reviewed the life of Lin
coin from his humble birth, which took
place 100 years ago last Friday, to the
day he left Springfield, ILL.,, to become
president of the United States 4S years
ago the the 18th day of February.
The Lincoln chair on exhibition Gre
ated considerable interest
After america" was sung by the au-
dience Rev. FIR. Cullinane, pastor of
Sacred Heart church, pronounced the
benediction.

What The Critics Say.

We publish below what the critics
say of a former Yale girl, daughter of
J. M. Palmer at one time in the musical
instrument business here. The com
ment is clipped from the Seattle Daily
Times of Monday Feb. ., 1909. We
are indebted to Roy ID. Bow for the
newspaper.
"Lucille Palmer, who plays Letitia,
has had only few weeks experience
on the stage, and if she continues to
improve as rapidly as she has begun
her professional future will be matter
of pleasant speculation. She has a
beautiful, fresh young voice which
ought not to be pushed quite as far as
she sometimes allows it to be, an at
tractive stage manner and willingness
to work which is quite obvious. She
is welcome addition to the company"

the southern postmaster, whom he had

Rcycott on Physicians.

Something unique in the line Of a
strike or a boycott was recently re-
ported from a small town in Bur-
gundy. The physicians of the place
raised their rates 80 per cent, and a
massmeeting of all the ailing folk
was called, at which it was decided
to dispense with the medical mems

Characteristics Of Dutch Painters

Perhaps this might be defined as a
capacity for honest seeing and for
honest doing, and certainly it was In
this way that the moral character Of
the Dutch displayed itself. 1t was
equally a notable distinction of the
Dutch painters. AS a school they
were unanimous in choosing for their
subject life; the life about which they
knew most and in which they were
most interested-their own. They rep
resented it with straightforwardness
and sincerity. Thus. with few excep-
tons, their motive was simply and
sincerely realistic, and at the same
time their b%rushwork was extraordi-
narily skillful.-St. Nicholas.
