Elsjat Tbaasaad Hear Addresses by
Revs. NcOovrra and Loveland.
"An opportunity to be baptised with the
pint of 1886" was presented by tha after
noon 'meeting at tha auditorium yesterday,
when 8,000 people, moat of whom were
school children, filled the great audience
room, listening to muslo by tha bands,
songs of the high school batallloh and ad
dressee by Father P. A. McOovern and Rev.
P.. U. Loveland.
The room was so well filled 'and many, of
the students so young that It took two ap
peals from Superintendent W. M. David
son, who presided, to 'keep order while the
addresses were being given. "Be square
with these Wn who are here as our guests,
boys and girls of Omaha; pay proper re
spect to the memory of Abraham Lincoln."
and he was loudly cheered by students
both Hearing young man and womanhood
and those of tender years. The appeal had
the desired effect and the meeting was one
of which the educators were proud.
To accommodate the veterans of the civil
war . an extension was erected to the big
stage, where the speakers made their ad
dresses, while the auditorium stage was
filled with tiers of scats where the cadet
companies In gray uniforms were seated.
After their singing the cadets were at
"parade rest" and their presence In the
room scarcely noticed except when speakers
referred to them and pointed proudly
toward the boys In gray as those who
would give America another army it such
was ever needed.
Tha Auditorium was decorated with flags
and bunting ahd above the stage hung a
large portrait of Lincoln, over which was
a large shlvld in tha colors of the flag,
electric lighted.
After the Invocation by Rev. T. J. Mackay
of All Saints' Episcopal church, Superin
tendent Davidson opened the meeting by
staling: its purpose and read "O, Captain,
My Captain," saying that while other poets
had written masterpieces, said to have been
Inspired by their own grief for the loss of
a friend or loved one, and expressing only
their 'Individual sorrow, It remained for
Walt Whitman to write the one poem which
expressed the grief and sorrow of 20,000,000
those in the United States at the time it
was written following Lincoln's assassina
tion. Mr. Davidson also read a few para
graphs from the address of President
Root-tvelt at Lincoln's birthplace In Ken
tucky, given at noon yesterday. The cadet
battalion sang the Whitman poem, "O. Cap
tain, My Captain," and Mr. Davidson In
troduced Father McOovern.
Hla Death m Spur and lucrative.
The priest of Bt. Peter's parish reviewed
the events which led up to the crises that
demanded such a man as Abraham Lincoln,.
He then described the young man's prepa
ration for the place which he was to fill,
but for which he prepared so unconsciously.
Through the trying years of the civil war,
Father McOovern traced the lite of the
man who was captain of the ship of state,
and concluded by saying:
"The life, the deeds, yes, the very dea'h
of our first and best loved martyred presi
dent, are spur and an Incentive to the most
generous devotion to our dearest America.
It may be truly said that for It he spent his
life, for it he bled and died, and we can
scarcely read the history of his career with
out feeling that ws do give but little, when
we consecrate all that we have to Its serv
ice. He strongly reminds us of Washing
ton, that sturdy patriot who through his
prowess on the field of battle may be said
to have created our republican government;
but Washington was by' nature and birth
an aristocrat, while Lincoln was a com
moner and closer to the people. If Wash
ington called the republio Into being, Lincoln
regenerated it, and became a second Father
of his Country.
"A pagan muse has written: 'It is a
sweet and glorious thing to die for one's
country.' We are not pagans, and we have
consequently higher motives to lead us to
make sacrifices for the land of our birth
than had those who served dumb Idols.
One of our own poets puts these words on
the lips of a general leading his troops in
the struggle for independence:
ftrlke! Till the last armed foe expires;
Strike! For the green graves of your sires;
Strike! For your altars and your fires,
God and your native land.
America Foremost af Katleae.
"Whatever others may say of their own,
their native land, we feel that America la
foremost in the onward march of nations,
that nowhere Is freedom so much a reality
ss under the Stars and Stripes. We believe
that our own America has a providential
mission to accomplish among the family
of nations. What an Inspired writer said
Of God's dealings with another race at
another time may be applied also to us:
'He has not done In like manner to every
nation, and Mis judgments He has not
made manifest to them.'
"I need not urge you to cherish with
reverence the memory of a man whose soul
was possessed by convictions such ss these.
Love of country may be said to bave been
' his ruling passion, as It was the guiding
stsr which directed his course in the troub
lous days of civil strife. Ills name Is
written throughout the land in parks. In
boulevards, lh cities, in towns, and It will
tndure as long as our popular government
lasts, which, we fervently pray, will be
until the dawa or eternity. Tes, ss long
as human thought can be swayed by lofty
sentiments and noble example, the name of
Lircoln will be found conspicuous among
the world's heroes, for, though a lover of
pei.ee, he was great In Wkr end great IS
the hearts of his coi ntry men.
Levelaad Palate ta Partralt.
Rev. F. U Loveland of the First Meth
odist church spuka of the conscience, cuur-,
age and common sense of Lincoln, 'gaining
the attention of his audience from the
start by pointing to the great picture of the
martyred president, and declaring him to
be a son of God as perfect as the Jewish
prophets of old; as magnificent as a Cath
olio prelate; as splendid ss a Frotestsnt
bishop,
"There have been three great figures of
liberty since the world began," said Dr.
Loveland. "Moses was the figure 1,000 years
before Calvary; then we have the Man of
Galilee, who perished to make men free
2,000 years .ago; and Abraham Lincoln, 1,000
years after the cross.
"Vain have been the efforts to describe
the man and vain have been the attempts
to analyse his character. We have had
three great orators, men of keen insight,
since Lincoln lived Fowler. Watterson and
Ingersoll but these men failed to tell ade
quately of Abraham Lincoln." '
Fata Vcteraae la Limelight.
The speaker called to the veterans on
the stage, to rise to their feet that thS
boys and girls might see the men who
stood behind Lincoln; might see the men
who made the valleys and hills of the east
and south ring with v the patriotic songs
the band had been playing and the cadets
singing during the afternoon in memory
of Lincoln.
Only a little Snore than a doxen veterans
stood up. Many of them had tears in their
eyes, and more of them came when the
young throats cheered the handful of for
mer soldiers leaning on chair backs on
tha stage.
Hahht Coha Gives Beaedlctloa.
Rev. Mr. Loveland's statement (hat Lin
coln went into office after the president's
chair had been vacant, for four years,
brought the applause from school children
and veterans alike. "James Buchanan had
been drawing the salary, of course, but the
presidency had been vacant." declared the
minister. Then he analysed the victories
of Lincoln from the three standpoints of his
conscience, courage and common sense.
Rabbi Frederick Conn pronounced the ben
ediction, and one of the greatest meetings
ever held in Omaha closed, while the cadets
sang and the band played patriollo airs.
EXERCISES AT TUB HIGH SCHOOL,
Geaeral Maadersaa the Orator aad
Prlaclpal Graf Presides.
Tracing the lite of the great emancipator
from his humble birth to the day of his
assassination and closing by presenting
to the school a costly picture of him. Gen
ersl Charles F. Manderson in an address
Friday morning before the students of the
Omaha High school told of the greatness
of Abraham" Lincoln and declared that no
other American is as worthy of emulation
by young and old In this nation as tbs
man who wss born Just 100 years sgo.
The commemorative exercises for the
students of tha High school were held in
the First Methodist Episcopal church and
the Auditorium was filled with 2,000 young
people and others. Prof. Ellis V. Graff,
principal, presided, snd ths services were
opened With the singing by the High school
cadets of the "Star Spangled Banner."
Miss Nellie Elgutter read an extract from
Lowell's "Commemorative Ode,"and Gen
eral Manderson wss then introduced.
"No other asms stand as high In the
annals of America, aye. In the whole
world, as that of Abraham Lincoln, the
ungainly,, untutored rail splitter from the
prairies of Illinois," said General Mander
son. "And no other character is as
worthy of emulation, no other statesman
can be pointed out as a better model, no
other man can be named as a truer leader,
a truer man."
At the close of his address the general
complimented the High school students on
their pluck In erecting in this state the
first statue to the memory of Lincoln, and
then presented them with the Ay res por
trait of the president. The portrait Is
framed, and was hung above the speaker's
stand, being draped with the national
colors. It la taken from an old daguerreo
type which wss recently found. A. dupli
cate of the picture presented to the Omaha
school wss presented the same day by
General Manderson to the State university.
As the cannon from Fort Omaha were
booming forth Mie national salute of
twenty-one " guns on - the High school
campus across ihe street, the students in
the. church sung "America," and the Im
pressive services were closed.
CROWDS. THRONG ALDITORICM
Storm aad Cold Caaaot Keep Hti.
dreda from Exercises.
Leaving business nouses, offices, school
rooms and homos In a snow ttorm, driven
by a hard wind, hundreds of Omahans as
sembled In the Auditorium at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon to attend the exercises of the
Lincoln centennial.
W. M. Davidson, superintendent of ths
public schools, presided, while addresses
were given by Rev. P. A. McOovern and
Rev. F. L. Loveland. Rev. T. J. Maokay
gave the invocation and Rabbi Frederick
Cohn pronounced the benediction.
Stirred by music by Green's band and
the Star Spangled Banner" and "O, Cap
tain, My Captain!" by the high school
cadet battalion, the meeting was full of
patriotic feeling and genuinely American,
there being gathered beneath the flag deco
rations men and womes from many coun
tries Who have adopted America as their
country. T boats who participated in the
program were Protestant and Catholic,
Jewish and Gentile.
LINCOLN ITATIK It DECORATED
Graad Army aad W. R. C. Orgaalsa.
tloas Lead Colore.
On account of the cold the decoration of
the Lincoln statue on ths high school
grounds wss conducted with but simple
ceremonies, participated In by details from
each of the posts of the Grand Army. Each
of these Grant, Custer and Crook with
the Women's Relief corps of Orant post
and Camp Lee Forby, Spanish American
War Veterans, loaned Its organisation
colors for the decoration.
The colors were stacked at ths south
facade of the monuments and braced to tha
monument with ropes. It wss thought
inexpedient to unfurl the standards because
of the strong wind which would whip Into
shreds the delicate silk flags with their
bullion fringes.
Commander John A. Dempster of Grant
post had charge of the decoration in be
half of the Grand Army, Mrs. Matthews,
president of Grant Women's Relief corps
In behalf of the corps, and Joe Carroll in
behalf of the Spanish-American veterans,
a detail of policemen was stationed near
the monument to care for Uie flags while
they remained there. The flags were re
trieved later in the afternoon and carried
in procession from Grand Army hall at
Nineteenth and Farnam streets last even
ing to the Auditorium by the respective
organizations.
The president's salute was fired at U
o'clock and consisted of twenty-one guns.
The gun used for the occasion was from
Fort Omaha, the firing detail being In
charge of Sergeant Cox of the United
States signal corps. The gun la the salute
gun of Fort Omaha and was mounted on
sn iron tripod at the south front of the
high school building.

LA FOLLETTK WANTS SEW Hl'I.E
Says One-Third Senators Transact
All Important Business.
WASHINGTON, Feb. .-Followlng the
lead of the house "Insurgents," some of the
tew republican aenators, headed by Senator
LaFollette of Wisconsin, probably , will
make an earnest effort to obtain a re
organisation of the present methods of ap
pointing committees In the next congress.
When Senator 1 Folio tte succeeded yes
terday In putting the naval appropriation
bill over until next week he said that he
"had the hardihood not only to doubt the
perfection of tho present arrangement", but
almost to believe that if the business of
considering the legislation of the senate
could be distributed among the ninety-twi
Instead of being taken In charge by less
than one-third of the body it would be
an Improvement over existing conditions."
His present committee assignments, he
said, do not allow him much say in the
