GREAT TRIBUTE
 IS PAID TO LEE
GEORGE R. wENDLING DELIVERS INTERESTING LECTURE AT HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM-DIsP
 
 i, ED NO sTEREOTYPED EULOGY

Robert E. Lee, the Idol of the South" :. tensely interesting lecture given last f night at the High school by George R. Vending, the well known and popular platform orator, on the occasion of the regular Lyceum attraction. It was not ! 8 stereotyped eulogy of the south's great chieftain, but careful and painstaking estimate of General Lees real greatness. Not a single word of the speaker escaped the hearing of his audience. so perfect was the enunciation and so engaging 1 the manner of delivery. MT. Vending Is not an orator of the political thunder style. who depends for effect on theatri- cal believing and ranting. He belongs rather to the old school, represented by Choate, Channifig and Everett. With magnificent beauty of diction and a sweep of stately sentences, the speaker \ last evening held the attention of his hearers from Ladies and Gentlemen to 'I thank you"
 According to MT. Wepdling's estimate, Lees greatness is matchless, unapproach- able. As a general. he said, Lee pos fessed 8 genius which defies all com parison. The objective point of the north throughout the war. he declared, was not Richmond, not Atlanta. not New Or
 leans. but Robert D. Lee and his army.
 The personal character of the Confed-
 crate commander was traced throughout
 his boyhood, youth and manhood, and
 shown to have been stainless throughout.
 Lees greatest words and those most elo-
 quently expressive of his great nobility
 of character, said Mir. Vending, were
 those of the great general after the bat
 tie of Gettysburg, "Its all my fault"
 Never has there been offered more mo- ble example of seif-abnegation, declared
 tho lecturer.
 {she great prosperity of the south today,
 concluded MT. Vending is due to the
 greatness of Lees character When Lee
 surrendered at Appomattox, he declared,
 the great leader might have sent thou
 sands of Confederate soldiers back to
 their homes to stir up sedition and con-
 tinue the rebellion with guerilla warfare
 in defiance of millions of Union soldiers,
 leaving in place of the loyal and wealthy
 seuth of today a second Poland. Lees Egreatest service to the south, said MT.
 vending, was the exertion of his great
 and beneficial influence at the close of
 the civil war.
