LINCOLN OUR EXEMPLAR OF
NOBILITY OF CHARACTER
Lessons from His Life Almost Without Number, Says Dr. Lyman
Whitney Allen, Poet and Observation-Disclosures
the Sceptre of His Kingdom.

truth, he labored for the triumph of
right. When right rules forces fall
into harmony. When Righteousness is
enthroned all institutions feel its power
and majesty. There is no one in Amer
lean history who can be held up more
forcibly and sublimely to the great
multitudes flowing in upon us than
this man of truth. In his messages to
Congress he charged the people to re-
new their trust in God, and with pure
purpose to go forward without fear.
He acknowledged his responsibility
both to God and his country as the
fountain-h head oil his efforts In the
general exultation over the surrender
of Lee he acknowledged the power of
the Almighty, and in his sec md in
augural he indulged In an almost pn-
broken invocation to God for His divine
assistance in behalf of our nation.
In this age OF liberal thought les
son we may learn of Lincoln is his un-
faltering faith in the Holy Scriptures
and in Jesus Christ the Redeener. He
read In the Scriptures of Divine Provi-
dence, and he believed that the same
overshadowing was the special heri-
tage of this republic.
One of the lessons of Lincoln's life
which appeals most deeply to all per-
ceptive minds was his sense of the
ethical order. He believed that evil
is self-destructiye, that God is neces-
sarily triumphant. His mind grasped
the interrelation of events, forces and
processes. He grasped the trend of his
tory. He knew that above the shift
ing movement of things was the great
divine purpose of a Creator and Up
builder OF men and institutions. This
is the only thing that can explain his
emancipation proclamation. He knocked
at the door of Gods inner chambers.
God opened the door and spoke to his
soul. Thus believing in the overrul-
ing providence of God, he believed in
the government of the people. He
trusted the common people because he
believed that the great trend of the
people was, after all, the trend of Gods
thought. Lincoln believed that he was
Gods instrument. He believed in the
personal INTERVIEWING of the Divine life
with the human life. and on this basis
he labored, feeling himself to be the
instrument of Almighty God.
Such, in few words, is a brief sum-
mary of one whom this nation and the
world delights to honor as a man of
great intellect, of great heart, of great
ethical vision and of deep spiritual
nature, who believed in God, had faith
in Him. accepted the Bible as His mes
sage and threw his soul into the up
lifting and redemption of humanity.

ICE.COATED BODY
OF TRAIN VICTIM
FOUND ON TRACKS
Middle-aged Man, Believed to
Be Railroad Employee, Loses
Life on d., L. and W.
Especial to the Newark star.l

BOoNTON, Feb. 12.-Early today a
track walker of the Lackawanna rail-
road discovered a dead body, covered
with snow and ice, lying on the tracks
just west of the Rockaway river bridge.
The section foreman, Andrew Kapinos,
of Boonton, was notified and the body
was removed to Dawson's undertaking
shop.
One leg was missing from the body
and the head was covered with bruises.
The mans hip boots were found beside
the track, but no trace of the missing
member was found.
The man, who was apparently middle
aged, was clothed in heavy gray
sweater, and it is presumed he was
railroad employee who fell from a
train during the night. Coroner Hutch
inson, OF Wharton, was sent for and
inquiry to identify the victim has been
started.

FEAR AMERICANS
ARE AMONG 1856
WRECK VICTIM,
Three Players Believed to Have
Perished When French
Liner Hit Rocks.
BOILERS BLEW UP, ADDING
TO HORROR OF DISASTER
Sole Survivor Likely to Lose
Mind After Thrilling Rescue
from Hatch.

AIARsEILLES, Feb. 12.-1t is be-
Eeved today that three American vau-
dsville players were among the 1856 per-
sons who perished In the wreck of lhe
liner General Chanzy, which crashed
on the rocks Off Minorca Island
Their names were Elsie Henry and
Messrs. Leon Derenda and Green, and
all three are said to have hailed from
san Francisco.
The three Americans were members
of theatrical combination bound on
a tour of the colonies. Derenda and
Green are described as jugglers and
acrobats. Among the other perform
ers in the combination were several
Gnglishmen, including a man named
Nestor and the two Strakleys, bar per-
formers The Strakleys came from
Antwerp, but their nationality is not
known, as passengers from the colonies
are not required to state their home
country.
Among the other victims was Second
Engineer Lorenzetti, who was sur
yivor of the La Bourgogne disaster. AT
that time he was picked up after hav-
ing drifted for days in an open boat.
When the Chanzy sailed from this
port, according to the details reaching
here. instead of heading direct for AL
giers, she hugged the coast as far as
Barcelona, in order to avoid the storm,
and finally ran under the shelter of
the islands Of Minorca and Majorca.
The engines broke down, however, and
the vessel was. rendered powerless. The
storm hurled her against the rocks on
the north coast of the island of
Minorca, in the vicinity of Giudadela,
and she went down almost Immediate
ly. The sole survivor, Marcel Rodel,
brought the news to Palma.
According to the steamship COM
pany's sailing list. the steamship
Marechal Bugeaud should have sailed
on "wednesday. but WAS replaced by
the Chanzy.' Many passengers booked
for Algiers had waited to go by the
Chanzy, because OF the great conf
dence they felt in her captain.

survivor Wa. Ciinsine to Spar.

Rodel was found by fishermen at day
break clinging to piece of wreckage.
Among the victims was a favorite
Partisan music hall singer, Francis
Dufor, as well as other music hall
fayorites.
Rodel said that the vessel sank almost
Immediately after striking the rocks.
He was standing forward, he said, hold
ing on to stanchion, as a terrific gale
was blowing.
Great sheets of rain swept over the
vessel, so that it was impossible for the
captain to take his bearings. The storm
also prevented the lookout from seeing
far enough ahead to give warning when
the rocks loomed up before the ship.
The official said that the first thing he
knew of an accident about to occur was
when the lookout shouted and the ship
trembeld as the engines were reversed.
A rnornent later there came terrific
crash, and the whole ship seemed to rise
out of the water
A Terrible Scene.
For a few seconds the vessel remained
naotionless on the rocks and then slid
off into the raging sea. She began to
settle at once, and dreadful panic took
place The official says he remembers
seeing men, women and children rush
ing over the decks, while the crew and
officers made vain endeavor to lower
the boats.
In few minutes the decks were
swash with great seas sweeping over
them. Every time wave would strike
the vessel several of the passengers
and crew were carried overheard
Realizing that the chip would soon sink
out of sight, he hurriedly lashed himself
to hatch. He had hardly tied the
ropes around himself when the vessel
gave lnrch and plunged sternmost un-
der the swirling waters. Rodel gave
himself up for lost. but the ropes that
bound him to the hatch held, and, after
being sucked down into, the vortex
caused by the sinking of the ship, he
was suddenly bobbed up on the surface.
with the hatch floating under him.
The man said he gazed around to see
if any of those on board were floating in
the water near him. but saw no one.
and that not even spar remained over
rhe spot where the ship sank.
