It was just such a bench as this and under this identical tree that Lincoln during the dark days of 'the war sat until lata into the night. A few hundred yards behind stands the frame house in which he spent many a night in order to have freedom from the cares of his office. For more than fifty years veterans of the Civil war have been visiting this spot in the Soldiers home which Lincoln liked so well, and now it is fre- n quented by men who fought in the war and men who did service, in the World war. From this spot one can seethe new Lincoln memorial three miles distant to the southwest, and just across the Potomac beyond the memorial looms up Arlington cemetery. Other Reminders of Lincoln. To the north and jvest of the Soldiers home on the outskirts of the city but within the District Of Columbia, are many , material reminders of the days of Lincoln. For instance, there is the old fort from which Lincoln witnessed the invaders of the capita!.-Anrepulse of the would-b- e extending east and vestf rom this old fort are remnants of numerou fortifications that Lincoln visited many times. On Tenth street there still stands the old Ford Theater , building in which Lincoln was assassinated, and across the street in the brick house in which he died is a Lincoln museum supported in part by appropriations from congress and in part from private sources. Ong may see there the many reminders of the early career of Lincoln, such as a log from his boyhood home, a fence rail which he split in 1830, the Commission. of captain which he won in the Black Hawk war in 1832, many autographed letters, the chair in which he sat in his Spring-fiel- d home when he accepted the first nomination to- - the presidency and the old family Bible in which Lincolns name appears. Af the years have gone by congress has placed in the hallsand corridors of the Capitol a num-bj,e- r of busts and paintings of Lincoln. The bust by Albert Degrout is in the, east corridor of the senate wing. There is also In the senate wing a ' Lincoln portrait about whicli sightseers may be seen any day. In the house wing there hangs a painting that represents the first reading of the ' two-stor- y emancipation proclamation before the cabinet, In the portrait are seen September 22, 1862. secretary of war, Edwin M. Staiiton ; secretary of the treasury, Solomon I. Chase; secretary of the navy, Gideon Wells secretary of state, William H. Seward ; secretary of the interior, Caleb B. Smith; postmaster general, Montgomery Blair, and attorney general, 'Edward Bates. .This painting was presented to the United States by Elizabeth Thompson in 1870. Alexander H. Stephens, president of the Southern Confederacy, who was tthen a member of the house of repre- sentatives, made the speech of presentation. There are few outside statues to detract from the Interest that will always center around the great memorial in Potomac park.' There is a Lincoln statue at Fourth and D streets, by Scctt Flannery, and also a statue in Lincoln park, which is called the Emancipation monument. It is by Thomas Ball. Dedication of Memorial, q As the years go by men In public life at the capital of the nation refer with increasing freA quency to the wise utterances of Lincoln. glance over the speeches in the two houses of congress will show that it is a rare thing for a senator or congressman to 'make a speech of consequence without quoting Lincoln. The retiring President of the United States in his last general message to congress told the legislators that as he approached the end of his term he found his thought dominated by, an immortal, sentence uttered by Lincoln : Let us have faith that rightj makes might, and in that faith let us dare ty do our duty as we understand It. , Apparently tthe present year, is tf bring an increase in' the interest in Lincoln in his own country, if such a thing is possible. The" dedication of the national memorial will be more, than a national event The plans for this affair in so far as they have been perfected call for the participation of the representatives of all foreign governments here. The eulogy may be delivered by the President" of the United States. The preference was for dedigjitory exercises on February 12, the birthday of the martyr President, but it has been decided that it would be better to wait for the balmy weather of spring. It is nearly fifty-fiv- e years since Lincoln passed To quote George 'Bancroft, the eulogian, on " ' 1 ... j. again: Nq(t in vain has Lincoln lived, for lie i ns helped to make this republic an example of jus- - ' '1 t'.ce, with no caste but the cast of bufiiar.ffy.''" ex-vi- - - |
