Lincoln Post—No‘ 1, G A. R, Holds Great Reunion. GRAND ARMY REUNION & All classes in San Francisco celebrated the ninety-seventh anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln yesterday. The city’s patriotism was | | splendidly shown on the streets, in the business houses, at the public r buildings and in the schools. ‘The little children were told of the life | and deeds of the great statesman who held together this country during | its most perilous times. They furnished the best example of American- | ism in their bright patriotic sincerity when giving their exercises of recita- tion and song. Crowds of fathers and mothers visited the schools during l the day. President Benjamin Ide Wheeler took advantage of the day f to make a study of certain special systems of teaching. 3 14- s School Children of City Show Love for Great Statesman by Giving Public Exercises.

The programmes of the different schools | varied little in their general character. Everywhere sketches of Lincoln's life were read, his character was presented as a model one for the youth of our land to-day to adopt, tales of the Civil War were told and lessons drawn from them. Singing and recitations were given every- where and flag drills and dialogues re- lieved them from becoming monotonous. In some schools the teachers led the pa- triotic singing, in others a pupil whose voice was adapted to leadership. L.n- coln’s . immortal read in almost schools. The presence of the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic at many of the schools was a feature of yesterday's exercises.

Wheeler Visits Special . Classes, Spends Day Studying New Methods of School Work. —_— President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California addressed the children and teachers yesterday in many of the school buildings on the life of Abraham Lincoln. He spoke clearly and entertainingly, drawing many practical lessons from Lincoln's life. His primary object in visiting the schools, however, Was to see the methods of teaching, the practical work done in the manual training schools of San Francisco. With him were Superintendent of Schools Ron- covierl, Deputy Heaton and Directors Walsh, Oliver, Altmann and Boyle. The first school visited was the flour- ishing little colony in the hear: of the Chinese section. There Dr. Wheeler heard the little Celestials accurately recite their geography and English grammar lessons, and he expressed him- self as astonished and pleased with the work done in the quarter, A visit was then made to the Jean Parker School, where demonstrations of the benefits of manual training were made by the pupils, and from there the party went to the Franklin School. After leaving the Franklin School the Parental School was the next place visited, and in the work that is accom- plished there the university president took especial Interest. From the Pa- rental School a trip was made to the public playgrounds and to the depart- ment of domestic science at Franklin Center. At this place the party partook of luncheon cooked by the little girls who have taken courses in the school, and Dr. Wheeler pronounced everything fine from soup to coffee. He spoke highly of the course dinner that was set be- fore him, and said that the demonstra- tion of practical work was the best thing he had seen. He added too much attention could not be paid to the in- structing of girls to become good housewives and that it would do more toward a happy wedded life than al- most any other influence. A short stop was made at the School for Deaf and Dumb Children, and then Dr. Wheeler had a short talk with the Mayor at the City Hall, in which he expressed gratification over the work in the School Department. APHASIA CAUSED Y PETROLEUM Erratic Swiss Decocts New Drink in Which Coal 0il Is Used as Ingredient A peculiar case at the Central Emer- gency Hospital is puzzling the physiecians. A. Duperick, a Swiss, who was taken to the hospital yesterday, has lost his power of speech through drinking kerosene in his whisky. Medical men are at a loss to know whether it was the action of either single ingredient of Duperick’s cocktail that caused his aphasia, or the combined mixture of the Standard Oil Company's illuminant. Some one was unkind enough to sug- gest that if “Oily Jehn” heard of the new use to which his wealth producing product had been put we should experi- ence another rise in coal ol ) Duperick is a laborer living at the Hel- vetia Hotel at 621 California street. Ac- cording to his friends he has been drink- ing heavily of late. Each jolt is trans- formed into a highball by the addition of kerosene, or when taken straight is followed by that ill-smelling liquid as a chaser. The proprietor of the hotel wherein resided the Swiss became alarmed lest the man should be contem- plating suicide by setting fire to himself. Duperick, like a true native of Switzer- land, is a lover of the “paint.” He al- ways kept a five-gallon demijohn of the vintage in his room and purchased coal ol by the five-gallon can, both of which he kept by the slde of his bed, rising at unseemly hours to concoct new and weird drinks. Duperick’s originality as a booze mixer would put “Teddy' Pilster to shame. | The Standard Oll Company is said to be cognizant of the new use to which its money-getting product ‘is being put, and is preparing to put the fuel liguid up in barrels labeled, “In bond, 20 years old.” Duperick has entirely lost his speech and the doctors at the hospital attribute the avhasia to the action of the burning kerosene on the man's vocal chords. — Corona Club Celebrates. The Corona Club celebrated Lin- coln’s birthday with an “at home” and a reception to gentlemen by the ladies of the club last night at Mission Ma- sonic Hall. _The evening was spent in a delightful manner. A musieal pro- gramme and a musical farce written for the Corona Club by Mrs. Edward Dexter Knight were given, Mrs. Mabel 8. Gordon opened the programme with a beautiful . vocal selection, which she rendered in a pleasing manner. Frank Onslow sang a selection from Blumenthal, which was heartily received. The farce was given in two scenes, and many of the ladies of the cast did themselves proud by the able manner i which they handled their parts. = The cast was composed of the following ladies: Mrs. A.

Mrs. E BY CORTELYOU Postmaster General Speaks in Grand Rapids, Michigan Dt GREAT LIFE A MODEL Letter of President Read in Which He Says Leaders, Not Bosses, Are Wanted >— GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 12.—The fourteenth anual banquet of the Lin- coln and Young Men's Republican clubs held to-night was a brilliant event, both in attendance and in the character of the speakers. The banquet was spread in the Auditorium, with 1500 people occupy- ing places at the tabies. Congressman William Alden Smith was toastmaster, and the speakers were: Post- master seneral Cortelyou, Minister Corea of Nicaragua, Embassador Nabuco of Brazil, Minister Walker Martinez of Chile, Minister de Quesada of Cuba and Congressman J. Adam Bede of Minnesota, Congressman Smith read a greeting from President Roosevelt which was enthusias- tically cheered. The point most heartily cheered was the assertion that the American public wanted leaders, not bosses. Embassador Nabuco took for his topic “Lincoln’s World Influence.” He said in part: 2 A far-reaching effect of Lincoln's own per- sonality is the magic of his name for all who have had or who still have to fight anywhere against slavery. I can give testimony to that inspiration for the Brazillan abolitionists and my friend the Minister of Cuba, although he only knows it by tradition, can give the same testimony for the Spanish and Hispano-Ameri- can abolitionists. Brazil and Cuba owe espe- clally to Lincoln that a new great power was not created in North Amenica forty years ag: having African slavery for its fighting spirit and as the principle of its national expansion. Postmaster General Cortelyou, who spoke on “Lincoln’s Influence on Ameri- can Public Life,” began his address with. a gracetul tribute to the memory of Me- Kinley. He then said in part: . SPEECH OF CORTELYOU. What an illustration his life affords of the truths that early privations need be no bar to ultimate success; that obstacles overcome ure the greatest of educators; that Integrity and honor and fair dealing are living facors In every real triumph in every abiding fame; that faith in the people and devotion to their in- terests are essentlals to lasting honor In pub- ic life. For the greater part of the past three-quar- ters of a century Lincoln’s influence on Ame: can public life has been reit in ever increa: Ing measure. It was reflected in his contem- poraries and those who have followed him in the Presidency make no concealment of their lasting obligation to him, In government of the people, by the people and for the people rests our salvation. Dan- gers beset us on every hand when we siray away from that ideal. Every condition that disturbs us can be tested by It. The founders of the republic builded wisely when they created as co-ordinate branches of government the legislative, the executive and the judicial. They have stood the test for years, But we need a stricter adherence to the boun- daries between them so that one shall not en- croach upon another. We must approach every public question with a determination to be fair and just in its diecussion. Reforms to be practical ‘must be reasonable. They must be- gin among the people. The ballot is thelr safe- guard and through it they can ultimately Teach every' offender. There is no warrant for wholesale denuncia- tion of officials. The people must not forget that they themselves are largely responsible if improper men reach positions in the public service, and too frequently the sternest critic is the one who gives the ieast attention to his civic duties. In the main, government is h estly administered. It fs the legislator that is usually._the legitimate subject of criticism, not the legislature; and the judiclary weak as it ‘may be in some instances, has but its propor- tion, of the unworthy. DANGEROUS JOURNALISM. Cortelyou declared that the day of the boss in American politics is on the wane, expressed his belief in rewarding party service and of opening the door of oppor- tunity to every worthy aspirant for public station and said: Our political campaigns must be conducted upon the high plane of principle, in which the fullest discussion of policies shall be encour- aged, but in which misrepresentation and abuse of opponents shall have no part. Hateful as the domination of the boss has become, there is a tyranny that is worse than that of any boss—the tyranny of an irrespon- sible clamor to which weak men become par- ties and public officials at times yield their conscience and judgment. Nothing strikes a deadlier blow at liberty than the ineidious appeal made in her name in times of public excitement. Every convicted violator of her immutable principies should be scourged to his just punishment, but half a case is no case in her tribunals. The Postmaster General declared there must be liberty of the press everywhere and always, but this liberty, he said, af- fords no warrant for hasty generaliza- tions of unworthy attacks upon interests or individuals. He continued: Of late years there has developed a style of journalism, happily as yet limited in its sco Whose teachings are a curse, and whose influ- ence Is a blight upon the land. Pandering to unholy passions, making the commonplace to appear sensational: fanning the fires of se tionalism and class hatred, invading the pri- vacy of our firesides, it presents ome of the most important of ' our problems. These journals of malign influence must not be re- garded as fit examples of our journalism. The representative newspapers are true to its best traditions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12—The twentieth annual Lincoln dinner of the Republican Club of New York was held to-night at the Waldorf-Astoria. The 420 men pres- ent were seated in the grand ballroom and the more than one hundred women were served in the Astor gallery and The toasts included: ‘“‘Abraham Linecoln,” General Horace Porter; “The Republican Party,” Representative J. S. Fassett; “Shall the United States Make Its Own Laws?’ Representative James T. Me- Cleary of Minnesota. That the United States need not lower the tariff on products now imported from Germany for fear that our export trade to that country would be rulned if such a tariff reduction be not made was the ‘contention of McCleary. “Ten thousand circulars,” the speaker said, “are being sent out from Chicago every day by an organization whose ob- ject 1s to stir up the American farmers against our pgesent tariff law. One of the cries of thif organization is ‘Germany, our second best customer, will be lost to us if we do not make concessions to her.’ During the fiscal year 1905 we sold to Germany goods to the value of $212,6%,- 829." To show that this market would not be entirdly lost McCleary said that American were exported to Germany last year, will remain on the free list of the new Ger- man tariff law. Cotton is among these products. Another line of articles, amounting to $20,000,000 of our total Ger- man exports, he said, would pay only one rate of duty under the new law, giv- ing American exporters an equal com- petitive opportunity with foreign nations for this $20,000,000 worth of commerce. “Inasmuch as this Chicago organiza- tion,” continued McCleary, “is directing its energies toward trying to make our farmers of the Middle West feel that they are going to suffer greatly if we do not ‘do something for Germany,’ it may not be amiss to state that our total sales of wheat to Germany in 1905 amounted to only $2,200,452 and of wheat flour to only $361,217 ‘and of all other breadstuffs ex- cept corn to only $1,854507, or $4,465,19% in all; about our domestic sales of a single day. Of corn we sold Germany $7,000,000 to $12,000,000 worthp a year ago. This is only about 1 per cent of our crop and if we lost it, we would scarcely know of the loss without being told. “‘Aside from something less than $15.- 000,000 worth of lard which they cannot well get anywhere else, Germany took only $1,877,405 wortu of meat from us last year,” continued McCleary. He concluded by saying that if the United States could sell Germany all the later heard the speeches from the boxes. | products to the value of $120,000,00, which | meats that she buys from the entin world, “our sales would average less than | $10,000,000 a year.” g TS AR DUBOIS DENOUNCES POLYGAMY. he'ls actuated by the ssme high ldesls He is fighting, as they fought, the battles o ood " citizenship.

His address was largely given to stories reminiscent of Lincoln’s life in Springfleld. In closing he declared that while Lincoln discussed other questions, he never got away from the slavery question. Lincoln, with one stroke of his pen, de- clared the speaker, wiped out slavery, but polygamy still exists. The Mormons in this twentieth century, he added, practice polygamy openly and have become a tre- mendous political power in our country. He declared polygamy was the greatest | menace to-day to Ameriean civilization. He asserted that one could not any more | disassociate Apostle Reed Smoot from | polygamy than ome could dissociate & slave owner from slavery. He thought that President Roosevelt stood for high ideals and that he aimed at what Wash- ington and Lincoln worked for, “the bet- terment of mankind everywhere.” — SUFFRAGISTS RE-ELECT ALL THEIR OFFICERS Susan B.
