LINCOLN'S CENTENARY.


Continued From Page Two
batter. and recognized that his future
depended upon the success with
which he met the attacks of Lincoln.
On one side an institution supported
by history and tradition and on the
other human being in bondage
these presented supreme issue.
Douglas won the senatorial seat for
which the two at that time had con-
tested. but Lincoln won a larger
victory-he helped to mould the
sentiment that was dividing parties
and re-arranging the political map
of the country. When the debates
were concluded every one recognized
him as the leader of the cause which
he had espoused and it was recog-
milton of this leadership which he
had secured through his public
speeches that enabled him. a western
man, to be nominated over the east
ern candidates. only a western
man, but man lacking in learn
ing and the polish of the schools. No
other American president had ever
so clearly owed his elevation to his
oratory. Washington, Jefferson and
Lincoln and Jackson, the presidents
usually mentioned in connection with
him, were all poor scholars.
HIS COMPLETE EQUIPMENT.
In anything Lincoln's character
istics as a speaker. one is impressed
with the completeness of his equip
ment He possessed the two things
that are absolutely essential 10 effec-
tive speaking information
and earnestness. If one can be call
ed eloquent who knows what he is
talking about and means what he
says-and ! know of no better def
nition--Lincoln's speeches were ell
oquent. He was thoroughly informed
upon the subject he was prepared
TO meet his opponent upon the gen.
eral proposition discussed, or upon
any deductions which could be drawn
from il. There was no uneXplored
field into which his adversely could
lead him, he had carefully. examined
every foot of the ground and was
not afraid of pitfail or ambush, and,
what was equally important, he
spok from his own heart to the
hearts of those who listened. While
the printed page can not fully repro
duce the impressions made by voice
trembling with emotion or tender
with pathos. one can not read the re-
ports of the debates without feeling
that Lincoln regarded the subject as
far transcending the ambitions or
the personal interests of the debaters.
Ii was of little moment, he said,
whether they voted him or Judge
Douglas up or down, but 1t was tre-
mendously important that the ques-
ton should be decided rightly. His
reputation may have suffered in the
opinion of some, because he made
them think so deeply upon what he

said that they, for the moment, for
got him altogether. and yet, is this
not the very perfection of speech?
Ii Is the purpose of the orator to
persuade and. to do this he presents,
not himself but his subject. Some
one in describing the difference be-
tween Demosthenes and Cicero said
that when Cicero spoke people said,
how well Cicero speaks. but when
Demosthenes spoke, they said, let us
go against Philip In proportion as
ono can forget himself and become
wholly absorbed in the cause which
he is presenting does he measure up
to the requirements of oratory.
On this day ] venture for the mo-
ment to turn the thoughts of this
audience away from the great work
that he accomplished as patriot,
away from his achievements in the
line of statecraft, to the means en-
ployed by him TO bring before the
public the ideas which attracted at
tention to him. His power as pub
lie speaker was the foundation of his
success, and while il is obscured by

looked as the returning anniversary
of his birth calls increasing atten-
ton To the widening influence of his
work With no military career to
dazzle the eye or excite the mag
nation; with no public service to
make his name familiar to the read
ing public. his elevation to the pres
idency would have been impossible
without his oratory. The eloquence
of Demosthenes and Cicero were no
more necessary 10 their work, and
Lincoln deserves TO have his name
written on the scroll with theirs.

LINCOLN EXERCISES.


The one hundredth anniversary of
Lincoln's birthday was made aC
the Ely school house yesterday, pu-
pills from the grammar and high
school participating in the exercises.
The affair opened with patriotic
songs and appropriate addresses.
Following this were quotations and
selections bearing on the life and
character of Lincoln. Fred Bragg
recited Lincoln's Gettysburg address,
which was greeted with much APP
plause and was the principal feature
of the pupils part in the exercises.
Rev. G. c. Hunting made an address
treating of the life of the great
emancipation. The remarks were
such as to merit much applause. Mr..
Hunting presented nne picture of
Lincoln TO the schools. II. A. Com
ings. on behalf the trustees and act
ing for the schools accepted the pic
ture and in doing so made few
remarks telling with what gratitude
the picture was received. Principal
Cullen called on allen &. Bragg and
asked him To relate little personal
experience he had had with Lincoln.
Mr.. Bragg was not aware that he was
TO be called upon. but nevertheless
he responded and told how as boy
he had met Lincoln, as the martyred
president was ON his way to Wash
ington to be inaugnrated, and the adj
vice that was given him by the man
whose birthday was celebrated yes
terday. Mr.. Bragg made an excep-
tionally interesting talk.

FIFTEEN KILLED IN GAVE-IH
Sides Of Huge Trench for British
War Ship Dock Give Way.
Failing Mass Weighs About 10000
Tons, and Further Cave-iR Is
Feared by Rescuers.

London. July 2-The sides Of a huge
trench at the Alexandra docks. Newport,
Moamouthshire. caved IN to-day. burying
about thirty men, OF whom al least If
teen. and perhaps several more. were
killed. The trench was being dug in
connection with a new dock for war ships
larger than the Dreadnoughts. II was
fifty feet deep. thirty feet wide. and 100
feet long.
The men had Just finished digging and
.concreting was about TO begin. when the
shorings collapsed and the sides caved
IN. carrying with them FIVE steam cranes
six boilers. and furnaces and between
thirty and forty ballast cars. The falling
mass probably weighed 2oG0O tons.
The day shift were just quitting work.
Ten minutes later the trench would have
been empty. The suddenness OF the cave
IN made It impossible for the men to es-
cape.
A few OF those in the trench are known
to be alive, they being protected by the
fallen crane. Their extrication viii be
very difficult. Attempts to get them out
may possibly lead to a further collapse Of
the sides Of the trench. Several Of the
men who escaped being buried were Sc
riOuslv injured.
