and, more (halt that, the liberator of
the though of a nation, bullded his

wcrld and appropriately the physical

Sinning at the place where Lincoln
first saw the light, takes the. simpler
mime of a memorial. It Is to be a
simple, but classic building of granite
(.ml It is hoped that it may be com

theji President Tuft will officiate at
the dedicating of it as lh present
President Theodore Roosevelt today
officiated in the laying of its fuumla

the country, spoke from the same
platform and with the same flag flut
tering over them. There were six
of eight thousand people present.
Negroes and Whites Mingled.
Many had come from Louisville and
other Kentucky centers, as well rs
from away states. The bulk of the
assembly was com posed, however,
of the country folk. There was a no
table absence of negroes in the crowd
but those present were wedged in
among t lie whites showing that, none
hud been kept away by prejudice.
The exercises were conducted un
der a wide spreading, open sided
tent, which had been erected along
side the cabin In which Lincoln was
born, one hundred years ago today.
President Koosevelt and party ar
rived shortly before 1 o'clock and fivj

was concluded by 2:4." and a few min
utes afterwards the visitors had be
gun their carriage ride back to Hodg
enville.
Folk's Address.
Former Governor Folk, of Missouri,
spoko in part as follows:
"The people of every great nation
have in all times honored their
heroes witd memorials. In studying
the history of other people we Judge
theni by these tokens of affection for
the illustrious men that led them In
t-ome mighty crisis. This nation has
had many men whose ded have
emblazoned the pages of history, but
no name Is now dearer in- Lie hearts
of the people than that of Abraham
IJncoln. Washington fought to give
u! this nation; guaranteeing rights
to the citizen, never obtained nor ex
ercised by any other teople; Un
coil struggled to keep it as a gov
ernment of the people, for the peo
ple and by the people. Jeffe-s-n
t.iucht the simple truths necessary
for tbe happiness of a democratic
people; Lincoln applied thee truth
to the troubles of his time mI
steered the ship of state intT a
peaceful harbor. Jaekson thundered
aeainst and overcame the evi! of
his day; Lfn-oln with a heart ready
for any fate, breathed a new frrre
into the doctrines of Jackson. We
preserve,! Mount Vernon tn memory
of Washington. MVHtirellf is will
the Mecca for the follower of 'Jef
ferson. Tae Hermitage is kept as
when Old Hickory lived and worked
and wrought. Rave for ai occasional
rrtonumer.t. there Is no snltaMe
memorial of Lincoln, whose fame
grows fcrtehter as tbe year go bv.

STER WAVE SCHOONER
HARTLEY IN ROUGH SEA.
OCEANIC 24 HOURS LATE
Schooner's Crew Were Forced to Work
Long and Hard to Keep Vessel
Afloat Till Destination Was
Reached.
New York, Feb. 12. For twenty
four hours the 291 passengers on the
Oceanic of the White Star Line,
which arrived today from Liverpool,
wvere delayed by reason of the storm,
thw big liner ran into on Tuesday
mcrning.'sWater was dashed over the
floor of tile big smoking room and the

no one was even alarmed.
With nil bands on board exhausted
by constant labor for days to keep
their vessel free of water, the schoon
er Richard F. C. Hartley, from Jack
sonville, lumber laden, was towed in
to this harbor today by the tug Reli
ance, which had picked her up out
side. During a severe Mow several
of her sails were split, two planks In
her side were stove in by pounding
seas and a serious leak below was
evidenced by th speedy accumulation
of six feet of water in her hold.
By the hardest kind of work her
crew managed to keep her in sum
clent seaworthy condition to enable
her to make her destination.
Willi her sides scarred and decks
battered the steamship Hindustan
from South American ports, came in
to port after a bard battle with storms
The Hindustan, under command of
Capt. Littlehales, encountered a mon
ster wave early Monday mornln
Tho wall of water smashed the galley
door, the plate forward of the engin
room on the Hirt side and lifted the
wooden deck of the engine house. The
wave broke the dcr of the cook's room
currying away the contents of the
room including bunks.
A bark supposed to be the Mantan
zas, Capt. Mercer, from Ferdlnanda to
Philadelphia, today was ten miles off
Big Kennakeet, five miles north of
Hatteras, N. C, flying distress sig
nals. The seas were so high durins
the morning that the life savers were
unable to put out to her.
Wellington, N. 7.., Feb. 12. The
steamer Penguin was wrecked last
night off Cape Terawhite. Some c
the passengers and a number of the
crew were saved, but the reina;ii .er

sixty-seven, are missing
numbei Iik
and sup
posed to have perished.
UNKNOWN STEAMER SINKS.
Prest, France, Feb. 12 A British
steamer, name unknown, during a fog
today ran on the rocks off Quessa it
then slid off and sank in deep water.
Seven persons were drowned but th'1
remainder of the crew took to the
ship's small boats and later were
picked up by a pilot Iniat.

was in hi.- i.ouis on uusinese yester
day and today. He admits that he
witnessed tiie shooting, but will ntt
give any details, as he says his busi
ness frequently calls him to Tennes
see and he fears to offend either
side, as it might result In bodily
harm to himself.
"I was in Nashville on Nov. 9," he
said, "and witnessed the shooting. I
got there about 9 o'clock in the
morning. I do not care to discuss the
case and will not make a statement
unless compelled to. I only spok
about It twice, once with a man on
train, whom I afterwards found puf,
was a Texas lawyer. Wo discussa.i
the one-sided feature of the story so
far as presented. I also answered
letter from a minister who wrota me
In regard to the affair; and afterward
found out that both interviews had
been distorted. Sinee then . I . have
been besieged by telephone calls and
letters from tha attorneys on both
sides.
Came to Memphis.
"I made an engagement to niet
G. T. Fitzhugh, attorney . for thd
prosecution, over tho phone a little
over three weeks ago. I understood
him to say he would see me Sunday.
I went to Memphis and stoppeji at
the Arlington hotel, t was acain
paiiled by my wife. I called -at Mr.
Fitzhugh'a office at 10 o'clock . Sun
day morning, but he was nbt there.
I then concluded that If ho wanted
to see me he could come to Senath
a:i easily as I could go to Memphis,
:ind returned 'nome by a night train.
Mr. Filzhngh has since informed me
that he understood that I was. to
meet him iMouday, and wants me to
come to Mempnis again, t nave de
cided not to return, however, and
he will have to come to me. I do
not see why I should mix in the af
fair, as there is "nigh feeling in tiie
state about it. and I will only make
myself bitter enemies by telling
what I know."
'Declined to Answer,
When asked if he had heard any
of tbe words between Carmack and
the Coopers which preceded the
shooting. 3'ray refused to answer
this question. He said he did not
know either Col. Duncan II. Cooper:
or his son, Kobin J. too per, wno it'll
the shooting, personally. He had
met Carmack once In Memphis, he
said, but that was the extent of
their acquaintance. He denied hav
ing gone to Nashville to e the
states attorney, but admitted having
xchanged communications witlt botb
sidea.
Besides being president of the
bank, Bray Is in the grain and mule

the time of the shooting was In con
