A movement Is now on toot for the preservation of the old Kirkpatrick flour mill, near Hodgervllle, Ky., built by the father of Abraham Uncoil. The mill is located a mile from the place where Uncolp was born and was erected in 1816. Abe often trudged across the fields leading from the humble log cabin to the mill with a sack of corn across his shoulders. During his term as president, Uneoln frequently asked about the old mill, and in an old notebook of his was put an end to her sufferings.

He was himself originally an opera singer, and, while changing his life work, he has always remained true to tbs stage and to music. The greatest lights of the theatrical world, celebrated professors, famous men In science and literature, gather at his hospitable residence. That his love for art and enthualaam for Wagner are not merely platonic, hut genuine, be has shown in practical ways again and again and it Is to hie generous gift of 610,000 that the retention in Germany of the Wagner Museum at Elsenbaeh Is due. It Is also he to whom Germany is Indebted more than to any other for the suitable monument to Wagner la Berlin. Lelchner himself gave 615,000 toward the project, besides calling meetings In furtherance of the scheme not only in Germany, but also In many centers of German life abroad. He was president of tha monument committee, and not only entertained Its members la fin style when they came together in Berlin, but gave eloquent expression to his views and feelings on the occasion, The name of Lelchner Is thus inseparably associated with the Wagw ner monument Crobvs. Attacked by Crows sad forced to Flo for Bis Ufa.
