MEALS a Send Another Lincoln, Says Pres. Wilson Princeton's Head Declares War of Interests Makes One Needed MARTYR WAS MAN OF GENERAL USE Humanity's Instrument Gave Reflection of Touch of Life By Associated Prtss. Chicago, Feb. 12. President Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton University, delivered the principal address at Uie Lincoln Centenary celebration at the auditorium here today.

Mr. Wilson said in part: "It was a very full century that has gone by since Abraham Lincoln was born, a century crowded for all the world, but particularly for America, with significant events which men could never turn back from nor forget. And Lincoln seems for us the epitome of much that it contained. The man Lincoln had no special gift, lie was of general use. He was like some great instrument of humanity.

Wherever life touched him, he spoke back its meaning, gave forth fire to kindle its life. "God send us such men again. We are confused by a war of interests, clash of classes, a competition of powers, an effort at conquest and restraint, and the great forces which war and toil amongst us can be guided and reconciled only by some man who is truly a man of the people, as Lincoln was, not caught in the toils of any special interest, united by wide sympathy with many kinds of men, familiar with many aspects of life and led through many changes, to a personal experience which united him with the common mass. What Lincoln Was. "He must not be too hot or intense, must be large and genial, and salted with humor, but as certain and definite as the veriest tool of precision in his penetration and in his exposition of all that he sees and knows, a man who speaks as fearlessly as he looks upon the affairs about him, and who never withholds himself from any use or declines the challenge of any call of duty, a man of universal sympathy and universal use, whom few men can approach iu power, but to whom all men can feel akin, and with whom all men can dare to be familiar.

"The only way in which we can worthily celebrate any great man is not by a mere tribute of words, not by the weak and futile tribute of imitation, but by the convincing tribute of those who seek to use and execute their task with the same free hand and untainted motive, who approach life as if it were again to be refreshed and created, as if each age were the first age and every type of noble man was to be reproduced by the same naive processes which made all who went before him great and worthy of the role allotted them. The way to recover great ages of achievement is never to move away from them; never to debase or spoil the bread that beget them. America has never yet lost this reproductive power, this gift of renewal, this richness and fertility of reviving strength. Shu must never cease to look upon men like Lincoln as marking, not her occasional heights of achievement, but the points which denote the rising levels of her life, the levels from which she builds and from which her sons look back only to regain their standard and lengthen their measurements of accomplishment.

Johnson and a complete reorganization of the management of the Western Penitentiary are recommended in a special report of the State Board of Charities, submitted to Governor Stuart last night. The Governor is considering It and has taken no action. Johnson is charged in the report with drunkenness while on duty and with petty grafting. The report also severely scores the Board of Prison Inspectors, of which William J. Diehl, former Mayor of Pittsburg, is president.

In regard to the warden the report sets forth the following: "Justice to the prisoners and the good of the public service point clearly to the necessity for the removal of the warden." The disclosures in the report, which followed an Investigation of the institution, will be 'transmitted to the Legislature for consideration in deciding what appropriation shall be granted the Western Penitentiary for the next two years.

Block Utiles Following the disastrous wreck at Sunimerhill a few weeks ago. the new rules governing telegraph operators on' the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, were put into effect. Heretofore the absolute block system has been in effect only where automatic signals are not installed, and by which no passenger train is allowed on a block until that block Is entirely clear, but hereafter the system will be extended, and extra precautions will be taken even where the automatic signals are used. For instance, if towers and are in a row, when a train applies to the operator at A for the block between A and the operat aP A must notify the operator at ascertaining that the block is entirely clear before admitting the train at A.

At the same time must notify that the train has passed A and. before he sets it past must have received word that the track between and Is clear. The rule will make additional work for the telegraph operators, but is expected to greatly lessen the chances of accidents. Pass (locution. The initial step towards receiving annual passes for employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad who have been in the company's service twonty oneyears or more, was taken last evening, when a petition was drawn up and a committee of five appointed to present it to the superintendents of their respective divisions.

Abraham Lincoln By J. Howard Wert. Patient, self pois'd, when calumny and hate Assail'dr firm as the shears of fabled fate Wielded by Atropos, when flaunting flags Proclaim'd rebellion; bearing keen onus, What time a Nation's woes were sore and sharp; Yet with that ruthful heart of charity That saw a brother In the bondman lash'd; Struck down by murder's hand when now thy fame Had gain'd its perihelion goal of light, Now thine forevermore the fulgent crown. No panegyrics we may voice can add One laurel wreath to virtue's deathless meed; All earth, thy servitors of loving praise; All time, the wid'ning field of thy renown. LINCOLN DAY IN HBQ.

Continued from First Page In his talk he spoke especially of two incidents connected with two of the occasions on which he had seen the great martyr. One of these times was at Gettysburg, when he was quite near the President as he delivered his immortal speech. There was a vast concourse of people. The surroundings were most Impressive. From the elevation of Cemetery Hill there was a view of miles in every direction, but everything was still marred with the desolation wrought by the great battle, fought less than five months' before.

"But," said Mr. Wert, "of all the incidents connected with Lincoln's twenty four hours In Gettysburg, the one most vividly impressed on my memory is the scene as the President, arm in arm with the old hero, John L. Burns, walked along the street to some exercises held in one of the churches of the town. Burns, a hum ble citizen, seventy years of age, a veteran of the war of 1812, animated by patriotic ardor, had endeavored repeatedly to enlist, but had been rejected on account of his infirmity. When the battle of Gettysburg opened he took down his gun, went to the field, joined one of the advancing Union regiments as a volunteer, and fought VICE PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS, Who Will Speak at Chestnut Street Hall To night.

till three times wounded. It was a proud moment for him when, at the special invitation of Mr. Lincoln, he walked to the church by the side of that great man. The other occasion related by the speaker was when President Lincoln, by invitation of General Grant, visited the Army of the Potomac to be an eye witness of the glorious ending of its four years of struggles. Prof.

Wert gave an interesting account of the city of 150,000 men, destitute of women and children, but with churches, jails, jewelry shops, news stands, and the like, that for nearly ten months housed the armies of the Fotomac, and of the jams in front of beleaguered Richmond and Petersburg. "But," continued he, "the oddest thing in all this great city was its railroad, called 'Grant's City Point Army Line R. running up hill and down hill with scant attention to grading a railroad which hauled tens of thousands of passengers, but on which no fare was ever paid; for every one rode on a pass a railroad built 'a mile or two at a time as the ground was won in bloody battles." He showed a picture of the great trestle work on which this road crossed a morass not far from the rear of "Fort Hell;" and told how, on the battle Sunday, Apui 2, 1865, President Lincoln, tor hours, stood on the platform of a car not far from this point, and watched with intense interest the terrible contest by which Richmond and Petersburg were taken. This was but twelve days before the bullet of the assassin plunged a. nation into mourning.

In conclusion he spoke of Lincoln's whole life as an earnest exemplifica tion of doing his duty as God gave him to see his duty. He had the same faith as that which Inspired the good Quaker poet to sing: "I know not where his fronded palms, Lift high their heads in air; I only know I cannot drift, Beyond His love and care. Forney School The Forney schools celebrated Lincoln's Birthday in two sections. The primary grades assembled in Room No. 1, which was elaborately decorated, and rendered an appro priate program.

Rev. Dr. Hassett; hymn, "Holy God," school. The Harrisbusc Academy held appropriate at the morning session today.

The program included songs by the Academy quartet, music by the banjo and mandolin clubs and several violin duets and solos. Addresses were made by E. Z. Gross and also many of the boys of the school, who rendered specially composed essays or read parts of Lincoln addresses. Services In Churches.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon the various secret, social and military. or a ganlzatioris of the city congregated in their respective lodgerooms. Companies and I met at the Armory, the former to attend the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal Church and the latter to attend the services in the Derry Street United Brethren Church on the Hill.

The afternoon exercises were held from 3.30 to 4.30 o'clock, although the exercises were preceded in each church by an organ recital from 3. IB to 3.30 o'clock. The exercises did not last over an hour. At the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal Church the Invocation was conducted by the pastor, Rev. B.

H. Hart. The church was crowded long before the exercises began and the organ recital preceding was vigorous and prolonged. Rev. E.

N. Kremer, pastor of Reformed Salem Church, read the Scripture lesson, after which B. M. Nead delivered the biographical sketch. General Thomas J.

Rev. William H. Marshall pronounced the benediction. Historical Society. The Dauphin Count Historical Society last evening held its Lincoln memorial services.

The attendance at the meeting, which was held at the Court House, was large. Appropriate addresses were made by President Theodore B. Klein, James M. Lamberton, Benjamin M. Nead, Rev.

Dr. Ellis N. Kremer, Major William C. Arnold and Colonel Henry C. DemT'iing.

President Klein's address was a carefully prepared appreciation and eulogy of the great war President and delivered in admirable manner, the color of the address being height ened by the deep seated feeling of a patriarch who passed through the stirring times of the early sixties. The address of Mr. Lamberton was a sketch of the life of Mr. Lincoln, in which he briefly pictured the rise of the humble backwoods rail splitter to the place of the first man in the nation. Mr.

Nead was reminiscent, his younger days having been passed in the vicinity of Gettysburg. He told how, when the high water mark of the rebellion was reached, his family was entirely within the Confederate lines and how the real tide of events was not actually known to them until the forces of Lee began to retreat. Mr. Nead said In part of the Lincoln address at Gettysburg: "Edward Everett's address was very long. I cannot say how much time he consumed in its delivery, but I have taken the trouble to ascertain the length of the address it contained 17,000 words.

When he had finished, the tall form of the President was seen to rise. Of course, pandemonium broke loose as he stepped forward to make the dedicatory speech. I say without reservation that when this short address, destined to become immortal, was concluded not more than fifty people in the audience knew that the President had spoken.
