Lincoln and Dnrwln, perhaps the
most ci'lelirutrd of the list, were born
on (he Niune day. One abolished chat
tel shivery, preserved the world's
grout est republic and set democratic
government a long step forward; t br
other revolutionized science and wroto
the word "evolution" Into the lan
guage and thoughts of men.
Lincoln's fame has grown with ev
ery hour since Ills death and Is yet
growing. Ills bold on the hearts of
men conies not alone from his acts.
These but brought lilm Into the public
eye. It was the sweetness of his char
acter, his mercy and simplicity, his
loyalty to truth, his homely common
sense. hU literary quality and his per
fect democracy that have given him
second. If not first, place among the
great men of his own land and won
him the affection of all hinds.
The centenary of his birth, on Feb.
12, will be celebrated ns has been th.it
of no other American. On the birth
place farm In Kentucky u memorial
building will be dedicated, speec-ln-i
being delivered by President Itoose
'velt. Secretary of War Luke K.
Wright, Supreme Court Jusillce Olivet
Wendell Holmes, Cardinal Gibbons
and Governors Folk of Missouri and
Willson of Kentucky. The address ol
President Roosevelt, while short, will
be, It is believed, one of his most am
bltlous efforts. It will constitute prnr
tlcally his. last important utterance ns
president, and be designs to place II
as nearly In the class with Lincoln's
Gettysburg address as he 1b able. Tins
memorial building Itself is small ami
of simple but classic design. Sur
rounded by Greek pillars and :ip
proached by broad flights of Nteps, It
makes a striking appearance on the.
humble Kentucky farm. It complete
ly surrounds and Incloses the llttU
log cabin in which Lincoln was born
which after Its wanderings has beer,
re-erected on Its original site. At the
foot of the steps are a broad sward an i
driveway, with ir flagstaff In the cen
ter. Near by is the rock spring whlct
wns famous even in Lincoln's day
All of this, with the remainder of the
farm, which will be left much as It
wns before. Is to be thrown open t
the public as n national park on Feb
12.
The Lincoln centenary will also be I
elaliorately celebrated at the tomb ol
the martyr president and bis formei
home In Springfield, nt most of the
la iv:e cities and In the churches and
elsewhere nil over the United States
nud In some form throughout the
world.
Two men whose lines of fate cross
ed those of Abraham Lincoln In
stninuc and one of them In a slulstci
way were Stephen A. Douglas and
John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln and
Douglas were lifelong political foes
rivals for the hand of the same girl
rivals for the senatorshlp. rivals It

Lln' iiln won In every case, except Ir
BTBl'OBK A. DOUGLAS.
the empty honor of the formal elec
tion to tho sonntorshlp. Evon there
ho had the popular majority and the
moral effect of victory. Yet, oddly
enough, It was Douglas who, fifty yean
ago, first cave Lincoln his opportu
nlty tb aclilovo national famo, Tba
debates botween tho two giants wore
tho most celebrated In Amorican po
litical history. They made Mr. Liu

and Indirectly contributed to the split
ting of the Democratic party and the
deciding of the election. Oddly also,
the two men were personal friends,
aud in the test of war Judge Douglas
came valiantly to President Lincoln's
support.
As for Booth, his motive In slaying
Lincoln has always been nomcthlnfl
of a mystery. That there was a con
spiracy and that he entered Into il
there seems little doubt, but his rea
son for tho step has never been madti
clear. Whether he had a prlvuto griev
ance, acted through sontlmental sym
pathy with the south or simply wai
craned by tho great events of the pe
riod Is yet a matter of controversy
nud doubtless will always remain so.
Considering his talents und brilliant
family connections, the InBt supposi
tion Is the probable aud certainly the
charitable one.
Lfncoln said thnt his early life
might be described In a Hue from
Gray. "The short and simple annals
of the poor." Ho came of English
Quakers. Ills parents, while of good
family, belonged to the frontier, had
little or no education and no money.
The son was never burdened with
these things himself. His schooling
altogether did not amount to a year.
Yet he taught himself, reading omnlv
orously such books as he could pro
cure. Fortunately these were the
best the Bible, Shakespeare, Aesop,
"Pilgrim's Progress," Thomas Paine,
Itobert Burns and tho lives of Wash
ington and Clay.
In 181(3 the Ltucolns left Kentucky
for Indiana, and two years later tha
mother died. It was n time of intense
misery and saddened the boy's life.
LINCOLN IK 1861.
"All that I am, all that I hope to be
I owe to my angel mother!" he after
ward exclaimed. In a year Thomai
Lincoln married a second time, and
the stepmother came as near supply
ing the vacant place In young Abrn
ham's heart and life as -any other be
lug could have done. For the boy tin
stay In Indiana consisted chiefly ol
hard farm work, with one flatboal
trip down the Mississippi near Its end
Following his pioneer Instincts, Ton'
Lincoln in 1830 moved to Illinois
That winter Abraham, now "his owr
man," split rails and started out lr
the world for himself. The next ycai
he look a second flatboat trip to Nev.
Orleans nud returned to clerk in
grocery at New Salem. In 1832 he
served ns n captain In the Blacb
Hawk war nud ran for the legislature
but was defeated. In 18H3 he started
In the grocery business for himself
but his partner ran off, poor Llncolr
failed, and It took him years to paj
tho debt.
Lincoln tried for the legislature
second time in 1834 and wns elected
remninlug In the house eight years, t
part of which time he wns minority
leader. Ills chief acts ns n lcglslntoi
were his advocacy of Internal lin
provoincntH. his protest against Slav
ery and his leadership of the fight tc
remove the state capital from Van
dnllii to Springfield.
Other events occurring i-onteinpora
ueously with this legislative expert
enco wcro briefly as follows: In IKM
und 1835 he noted ns deputy survo.vni
nud studied law. In August, 1S35
Ann Rutlcdge died, throwing Llncolr
Into Indescribable gloom. In 183tl he
was admitted to the bur, forming t,
partnership with John T. Stuart, Ir,
1840 ho was an elector on tho Han't
son ticket. In 1841 he formed a part
nership with Judge Stephen T. Logan
and on Nov. -I, 1842, he was married
to Miss Mary Todd of Kentucky.
At tho end of his legislative career.
Mr. Lincoln In 1843 formed his final
law partnership, that with William II.
Horndon, which lastod to tho end of
his life. In 1844 he was on doctor on
the Clay ticket and In 184(1 was elect
ed to congress, which wns, properly
sponklng, tho beginning of his na
tional career, although his real advent
ets n national figure did not come until
a decade after bis one term In congress
was finished.
Llnooln'i Medssty.
In I860, when his name was being
mentioned as a prospective candidate
for president, Abraham Lincoln wrote
to an editor who bad suggested the
advisability of announcing his name.
"I must In all candor sat that I do
not think myself fit for the prestden
cjr."
WASHINGTON LET1EU
(.Special Correspondence.
At n recent meeting of the Inaugural
.'ommlttee u resolution welcoiulug the
participation of the fnniouj Philippine
.'onstnbulary bund In all of the futic
Jons tncldsnt to the Inauguration of
William Howard Taft as president on
March 4 was unanimously adopted, in
lecordance with the action of the com
aj It tee the secretary of war, through
Brigadier General Clarence II. Ed
wards, U. S. A., chief of the bureau of
Ipsular affairs and a member of the
Inaugural committee, . has authorized
their coming. The trip will be made
without cost to the Philippine govern
ment, but private parties Interested In
having them appear at the celebration
have guaranteed to defray their ex
penses while In Washington.
The Filipino Band.
The band, which has been In exist
ence for ten years and has the reputa
tion of being second to none In the
world, is a regularly organized mili
tary body, maintained by tho Philip
pine government and composed of
eighty-six natives of the islands,, in
command or captain waiter 11. Lov
ing, a commlsHloucd officer in the Phil
ippine constabulary and a graduate of
the conservatories of music In Cincin
nati and Vienna.

mittee on transportation has an
nounced the following railroad rates
from trunk Hue territory for individ
uals: From points mor,e than 100 miles
and not exceeding 250 miles from
Washington, 2 cents per mile in each

Mr. Courts In Demand.
Thero is no abler servant of tue-JJiiit-d
States in the capltol building 'than
James C. Courts, the diminutive clerk
of the houso committee on appropria
tions. Without him the great commit
tee would bo absolutely at sea more
than half the time.
It would be nlmost an utter impossi
bility for Chnlrman Tawney or any
other head of the committee to carry
In his mind the vast details of the ap
propriation bills which it brings into
the house, carrying amounts varying
from n few to more than $100,000,000".
Some member of the house wants to
know about some item in overy bill,
and frequently the whole house wants
to know about a good many of them.
Chairman Tnwney can answer offhanil
ns many questions ns any other chair
man who ever stood in bis shoes, but
II Is Courts who. when he sits down,
Is almost hidden by the desk in front
of lilm, hut Is the ready prompter when
the chairman's memory falls.
Speedy Legislation.
When congress recently voted $800,
000 for the relief of the Italian earth
quake victims an unusual scene wns
enncted in the bouse. A misunder
standing had arisen between tho presi
dent and congress ns to the amount of
the relief, and the bill prepared by the
house committee on appropriations did
not lit with the president's message by
$300,000. Courts was summoned by a
general alarm and responded rendlly,
pen In band. A conference 'wns held
at the speaker's table lasting nbout
two minutes, and fhose two minutes
bixurght ?300,000 more relief to the suf
ferers of Italy. Courts nnd his pen
fixed the bill, nud Courts later rushed
tho bill to the engrossing committee.
Growth of the Capital.
Compared with Its nearest rival-
Baltimore Washington Is making rap
Id strides forward. Baltimore's per
centage of growth between 1800 nnd
1000 wns 17.1, while Washington's
was 20.0. The disparity In expulsion
will undoubtedly be greater In tho
decade from 1000 to 1010, for Balti
more's growth wns checked for a yenr
or more by tho losses of the great flro
of 1004, while Washington's growth
has been stimulated by enormous
building operations, most of them con
ducted under tho auspices of tho na
tional government.
Ideal Resldenes City.
In Its physical aspect Washington
has gained enormously In attractive
ness in the last eight or ten years. It
Is on ideal rcsldcnco city, and Its
charms appeal most potently to Amer
icans with leisure enough to enjoy
thorn. It has become tho winter home
of families of wealth and refinement
from all parts of tho Union, and' Its
quiet, order and beauty make living
within- Its borders constant satisfac
tion. It still has great potentialities
In the way of architectural develop
ment, and Its material prosperity Is
secured by the ever broadening activi
ties of the great governmental ma
chine. CARL SOHOFIELD.
