vus filled tonight with people who hd
assembled to commemorate theS)2d an
nivirenry of Abraham L'neoln's birtli,
the nroceeds of the meeting to go for the
benefit of Lincoln Memorial University
at Chamberlain's Gap, Tenn.
Mr. Cletnene (Mark Twain) presided.

It. Brooke, General Nelson A. Miles,
Colonel Henry Watterson, General O. 0.
Howard and General Charles O'Brien.
Mr. Clemens read a letter of regret from
President MeKtnlev. Henry Watterson
spoke upon Abraham Lincoln." Inj
introducing the speaker, Mr. Clemens i
said . I
"It is a remarkable fact that with the I
wbole country to pick from, you should
have called upon two old rebels, Colonel
Watterron and myself, to take the prin-1
cipal parts in this (great meeting. But
are not tie blue and thegravone today?
I was a second lieutenant in the Con
federate service. Watterson here, as
cjioiiel, rendered mo such assistance as
he could. If he had only strictly obeyed
my orders I should have succeeded in
my vast enterprise. It was my Inten
tion to drive General Grant into the
Pacific. I told General Watterson to
surround the eastern armies and wait
until I came. But he was insubordinate
and the Union was B&ved."
Excerpts from Colonel Watterson'e
address follow :
"Lincoln was at no time an extremist.
Hi had been for 30 years in unconscious
preparation for the fray. At the time of
his debate with Douglas, the democratic
firrty, as now, seemed hojelesly
divided.
"I want to say just hero a few words

to the South. He was the only one who
could have come to the position without
animosity toward the South. For my
part I thank God that the war did not
end at Fortress Monroe, or by any other
enil proceeding, but wa fought on out I

Timely information given Mrs. George
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, pre
vented a dreadful tragedy und saved two
lives. A frightful cough had lung kept
her awake every night. She had tried
many remedies and doctors but steadily
grew worse until urged to try Dr. King's
New Discovery. One bottle wholly cured
her, nnd she writes this marvelous
medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe
attack of Pneumonia. Such cures are
positive proof of the matchless merit of
this grand remedy for curing all throat,
chest and lung troubles. Only 50c and
$1.00. Kvery bottle guaranteed. Trial

San Fhancico, Feb. 11. Barton Hill,
the veteran actor, returned from Aub-
tralia, on the Bteamer Sierra just too late
to attend the funeral of his wife who
died in this city last Tuesday. Mr. Hill
was prostrated by the news, which he
received when the vessel docked.
( Barton Hill, one of the oldest actois
in America, is well known in Portland,
he having appeared here many times.
His last appearance in this city was with
Nance O'Neil. When Mies O'Neil went
to Australia to play before the Antipo
deans, Mr. Hill was one of the few
players she took with her. The actor
hearing of Iiib aged wife's illness, had
left the company in Australia lo attend
her bedside.)
