Tribute In marble and bronse to Abraham Lincoln are to be found in all parta of tbe United Staten, and addition! to tbe lint are constantly being made. Latterly there haa been a dlnpoal-tio- n on tbe part of our public men and Influential cltlseba to device in recognition of the aervicea of tbe Civil War Preaident memorial of even more elaborate and Impoalng character than the atatuea that have been erected In ao many of tbe state a that he labored to keep under one flag. A recent notable inatance of tbla trend was found In the provision of an Impressive memorial structure on the famous Lincoln farm" to Kentucky. The erection of thla monumental edifice, which waa dedicated by President Taft only a few months ago, represents but one phase of an ambitious project to restore and protect the birthplace of Lincoln and the scene of his early life, making It, as It should be, a patriotic mecca to which great numbers of Lincolns will make pilgrimages Just as they do to the home of George Washington at Mount Vernon, and to the home and tomb of Thomas Jefferson at Charlottesville, Virginia Even more pretentious Is the project now before congress for a $2,000,000 memorial to Lincoln that shall be In the fullest sense a tribute from the reunited nation. Visitors to the seat of government In recent years have often expressed wonder that whereas there ara id Washington appropriate testimonials to the father of His Country and other- - national idola there has been no memorial commensurate with the commanding place which Us coin has occupied in the history of the coud try. The government has not been unconscious of this lack, but merely deferred action until such time as there could be provided a tribute worthy of the great man who Inspired It This Is now assured, owing to the liberal sum that will be expended In this labor of love From the time It was decided that tbe occasion had arrived for congress to take definite action with reference to a national Lincoln memorial there has been discussion and difference of opinion as to the form which this acknowledgment of the nation's gratitude should take. Most of tbe men having voice In the matter seem to have come to the conclusion that the Ideal memorial will be a massive monumental structure a sort of temple pf fame to be built of white marble on the hanks of the Potomac at Washington and adorned with statues of Lincoln and representations of persons and events conspicuously Identified with his career. The effect would be, of course, to create a companion patriotic shrine to that at George Wellingtons Mount Vernon estate a few miles farther town the same river. However, many persons of prominence have all along argued In favor of other forms of memorial. A memorial bridge between tbe national capital and the national cemetery at Arlington beyond the Potomac has repeatedly been suggested and so has a memorial arch. dr. - . SZZJZZ1 and death masks which faithfully portray the countenance of the kindly ruler at tbe time he first took office and at various rerlods up to his death. The making of the life mask of Lincoln was, by tbe way, a rather trying ordeal for the president, who was obliged to sit for an hour with the plaster covering his face,, but not interfering with his eyesight or breath-- ' lug. Mr. Uncoln himself assisted In removing the mask, a particularly difficult task owing to Ms high cheekbones, but the undertaking was entirely successful, the mask coming off In one piece and being especially satisfactory in that It included the. Impress of both ears something that In many Instances must be omitted in the securance of a life mask. One of the most Interesting of all the Lincoln statues Is the bronse figure hr Lincoln Park at Washington, which shows Uncoln freeing the slave an emblematic figure of the great emancipator striking the shackles from the hands of a kneeling negro. The significant feature In connection with this unique statue rls that it was erected by money contributed through popular subscription by the freed slaves. Another Interesting memorial to Lincoln at the capital he paved, in found In a simple silver plate on the pew which he always occupied in the church, a few blocks from the White House, of which he was a member. Congress has paid $30,000 for the house In which Uncoln' died, and win, in nil probability. In time convert it Into a Lincoln Memorial Museum under governmental aus-- ' pices. This will Involve the expenditure of considerable money, because the bnlldlng Is now closely hemmed In by other buildings , which oueht to be torn down fn order to prop er!y safeguard the historic building against 4P725 CS5KS6W jar fellow-countryme-n . J but probably sentiment haa been strongest for a Lincoln memorial boulevard or highway. The proposal has been to construct this highway as a connecting link between the national capital and the battlefield at Gettysburg where Lincoln delivered his Immortal speech. Tbe chief objection to this scheme Is that the highway could be used and enjoyed only by people who had automobiles or other vehicles of their own or the means to hire such con. veyances. While on tbe subject of these elaborate Lincoln memorials It may be noted that first place In this category belongs, of course, to the Lincoln tomb at Springfield, Illinois. The monument to Uncoln at Springfield, alike to the monuments to our other martyr presidents Garfield and McKinley Is not merely public but national. For the Lincoln monument the sum of $200,000 was collected. ' Of this sum $28,000 came from tbe soldiers of the Civil war, and $8,000 of this amount was contributed by the negro troops out of the first money they ever earned. The Lincoln monument has had to be reconstructed several times and entirely rebuilt once, owing to the character of the foundation, and these circumstances necessitated the removal of Lincolns body, which, all told, has been moved some ten or twelve tlpes since the original burial. Certainly one of the most commendable of of Presidency. j Senator Teller of Colorado tells a Lincoln story which he says haa never been printed and which In many ways Is unique in Its interest None of the students of Llncolnlana about Washington remembered the story, and tha fact that it eould have escaped publication all these years la regarded as remarkable, says the New York Heralds Washington correspondent it Is going the rounds of the capital and oa using many laughs. Henry M. Teller was 'a young man In the year 1860, when Uncoln was nominated for president He lived in Illinois and had been drawn Into rather close relation with Uncold. So when the presidential campaign cams on this young man waa selected to go up to Chicago and assist in the business of receiving delegates, talking Lincoln to them and generally managing the game. Young Teller got on handsomely and tha prospect for Lincoln began to look better to him. The candidates. to Uncola Is tbe Uncoln Memorial - University of Claiborne county, Tennessee, which was founded by Gen. O. O. Howard, one of the most devoted of Lincoln's admirers, and the object of which is to benefit the people from whom Uncoln sprang, the mountaineers of the Cumberland Gap region. The grounds of the university contain six hundred acres and there are several buildings upon them although more are needed. The university waa chartered by the State of Tennessee on Uncoln'a birthday tn 189T and haa already performed a tremendous service for the people of an isolated region which may be said to offer no other similar educational advantages. It has been claimed that owing to the handicap which Lincoln himself sustained In early life, owing to Ignorance end poverty, he would, if he could choose, probably prefer this memorial In the Tennessee mountains to any other that could be reared to his memory. Of the numerous statues of Lincoln which have place in cities and town all over the United States the meet notable, from an artistic standpoint, are two executed by the late Augustus 8t. Gaudena, Amercfas greaest sculptor. Both of these statues are figures of heroic sise. One which represents Lincoln standing has been erected tn Lincoln Park In tha city of Chicago, whereas the other, which all the existing "memorials . . that got a good at me couldn't be expected to Any convention look nom- Lincolns Way To Do It . !
