1T appears that a substantial
proportion of unemployment COM
pensation claimants have been ac-
cepted as In need before their bene-
f1ts are paid. Several courses
might be adopted: The waiting
period Tor benefits might be re-
duced; the method of calculating
benefits might be so changed that
a greater proportion would receive
weekly checks closer to SIS maxi
mum instead Of $6 to So.
This would seem feasible in the
District since the ratio of benefits
to total tax collections and interest
for the first six months of 1888 was
less than 10 per cent -B.9, or
lower than any State. Increasing
benefit payments and reducing the
waiting period would seem to be
preferable, as unemployment relief
policy, to expediting the process of
getting on a permanent work relief

depart, the superintendent in- quired his name. Abraham Linz coin of Illinois," was the answer.
 Invitations were received by Mir Lincoln from many places in New England, to speak on political questions. On the 5th of March he spoke at Hartford, in the City Hall, and was escorted to the hall by the first company of Wide Awakes' ever organized in the country. This organization became universal throughout the free states. He had an immense ar- dience in Hartford, and produced 8 powerful impression. On the fol- lowing day he was waited upon by number of prominent citi- zens, and visited several objects of interest in the city, among which were the harmonies of Colt and Sharp. On the 9th of March, he spoke at New Haven, at Meri- den on the 7th, at Woonsocket, Rhode Island, on the 8th, at Nor wich, Connecticut, on the 9th, and at Bridgeport on the 10th. His speaking was always to immense audiences. Connecticut was that year carried by the Republicans by about 50 majority, against the most powerful efforts of the Derl- ocrats--a fact which was due more to the speeches of MT. Lin- coin than to any other cause.
 Astonished By Success
 "Some very interesting reminis- censes of this trip were conl- municated to the public in 1864, by Rev. John P. Gulliver of Nor- wich, who listened to his address n that city. On the morning fol- lowing the speech, he met MT. Lincoln upon train of cars, and entered into Q conversation with him. In speaking of his speech, MT. Gulliver remarked to Mir. Lincoln that he thought it the most remarkable one he ever heard. Are you sincere in what you say? inquired MT. Lincoln. I mean every word of it. replied the minister. Indeed, sir he con- tinued, I learned more of the art of public speaking last evening than could from a whole course of lectures on rhetoric.' Then MT. Lincoln informed him of a most extraordinary curcumstance' that occurred at New Haven a few days previously. A professor of rhetoric in Yale College, he had been told, came to hear him, took notes of his speech, and gave a lecture on 1t to his class the fol- lowing day; and, not satisfied with that, followed him to Meri- den next evening, and heard him again for the same purpose. All this seemed to Mir. Lincoln to be very extraordinary He had been sufficiently astonished by his suc- cess in the West, but he had no expectation of any marked success in the East, particularly among literary and learned men. Now said MT. Lincoln, T should like very much to know what 1t was in my speech which you thought so remarkable and which interested my friend the professor so much,' MT. Gulliver's answer was: The clearness of your statements, the unanswerable style of your rea- soning, and, especially, your il- lustrations, which were romance and pathos and fun and logic all welded together"

 Approximately 505,000 employees benefited, according to the report.
 The five commissioners, MT, Lynch, Leo J. Noonan, James J. Donohue, Charles Kleiner and E. T.

TRIBUTES PAD LATE PONT|FF
Ministers, Rabbis Laud Career, Efforts of Late
 Pope Plus

Protestants and Jewish clergymen joined with Catholic priests yester- day in tribute to the dead Pope, praising him as @ fearless leader and a champion of peace in g ravaged world.
 At the weekly service in Beth-El synagog last night, Rabbi William P. Greenfield said in part: "The world has lost Q great man and 8 good man, one who was leader of his own religion and still understood that humanity includes all man. kind. He spoke fearlessly of per- secutions whether of Jews or of Christians. His loss will be felt keen- ly not only by Catholics but by all religious people throughout the world"
 Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf of Beth-El synagog said in tribute: Pope Plus was 8 great teacher of mankind in deed, a high priest in the temple of humanity, a fearless champion in the cause for human justice and universal brotherhood"
 "The world is poorer today be- cause of the death of Pope Plus" i" said Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, rec tor of St. Johns Episcopal church. "He was a statesman, a Christian and a scholar in splendid combina- ton. The whole Christian world honors, respects and will cherish his leadership"
 Rev. Dr. John 0. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregational church, said: "He served the cause of social justice; he was the Pope of Peace. His saintly character was an inspiration to Christians every- where. His death is a sad loss to the forces that make for peace and good will in a trouble, chaotic world"
 Priests will announce the dates and times of memorial services at masses tomorrow morning. Several churches will hold memorial masses on Wednesday morning, the day of the Pope's burial in St. Peters church in Rome.

tBY JOHN BARR)

Wales Porter recalls Abraham Lincoin's h. .oric visit to Con- necticut in the Spring of 1860. It was the week following his great Cooper Union speech in New York. MT. Lincoln was on his way to see his son, Robert, a student at Harvard.
 He addressed immense audi ences in Hartford, New Haven, Meriden, Bridgeport and Nor- wich and created @ profound im- pression through the state. So that when he was nominated for the presidency and the campaign opened in the fall Connecticut voters had the advantage of having seen the rail splitter from Illinois and heard him speak.
 The account of MT. Lincoln's Connecticut visit is so well told in J. G. Hollands Life of Abra- ham Lincoln, published immed- lately after his death, that The Democrat reprints 1t at MT. Por Ver's suggestion.
 Compact English
 The papers of the city (New York) were full of his address and with comments upon it the next day. The Illinois lawyer was 8 lion. Critics read the speech, and marveled at its pure and compact English, its felicity of statement and its faultless logic. It was read next day not only by New York but by nearly all New England.
 After the speech, he spent several days in New York, famil-

HEARING SLATED
 ON 'BINCO' BILLS
Efforts Being Made to Legalize Game for Char-
 itable Purposes

Bills legalizing bingo and similar games will be given hearings before the judiciary committee of the Gen. eral Assembly at the state capitol in Hartford Thursday afternoon. Strong opposition to the measures is expected to develop at the hear ings.
 Among the bingo measures offered this session are proposals by Sena- tor George T. Culhane of Water bury, Rep. Daniel Mahaney of Wa terbury, and Rep. Hartin Whalen of Wolcott. Each of the measures would limit prizes offered at bingo par- ties to merchandise valued at not more than $25, and would limit sponship of bingo games to churches or charitable organizations.
 Another bill to be heard Thursday concerns carnivals and bazaars con- ducted by charitable organizations, and would allow rallies to be held at such affairs. One of Senator Gull hane's bills would also allow gaming for charity, when the prizes are of small value.
 Other bills to be heard Thursday include one setting up @ state rac- ing commission and another allow ing wagering on races in which pac- CTS and trotters are the participants.
 Bingo is still played in many sec- tions of the state but has been forbidden locally by city court prose- cutors, the ban being imposed after the state supreme courts sweeping ruling against any and all types of gambling pastimes.
 Bank night and screeno, which brought about the test case which resulted in the supreme rourt ruling, are also the subjects of bills to be heard Thursday. It Is proposed that they be legalized.
