MARTIN Secretary of Publicity A MAN FOR THE AGES A character in Irving Bacheller’s | book, “A Man for the Ages,” gives an illuminative and vivid portrayal of the particular incident upon which Secretary Stanton paid Abraham Lincoln the high tribute on which the title of the book is based. It was on the day of the Great Emancipa- tor’s passing, April 15, fifty-five years ago. Mr. Bacheller’s char- acter relates: “Now we are at the foot of the last hill.

I speak low when I think of it. Harry Needles and I were on our way to Washington that fateful night of April 14, 1865. We reached there at an early hour in the morning. We made our way through the crowded streets to the little house opposite Ford’s theater. An officer who knew me cleared the way for us at the door. Reporters, statesmen, cit- izens and their families were massed in the street waiting with tear- stained faces for the end. Some of them were sobbing as we passed. were admitted minister and the doctor sat by bedside. The latter held an watch in his hand. I could hear ticking the last moments in an age of history.

A | the | open | | itinerary THE MECHANICAL ~ ENGINEERS WILL LEAVE MONDAY | Junior and Senior Students Will Make an Inspection Trip in South Texas This Week. At 3:01 a. m. Monday, April 26, a | party of Ldn engineering stu- | dents leave for Houston. Professor Fermier is taking the junior and sen- ior students in the mechanical engi- neering course on a four day’s trip of inspection. The party leaving Monday morning is to be joined at Houston by several other students who have been away on furlough during the past few days. This trip is taken as a part of the well established plans of the Depart- ment to have the students see in prac- tical operation the equipment about which they have been studying in the class room, and testing in the labor- atory. Houston, Galveston, and neighbor- ing points contain much that is of interest to mechanical engineers, and it is planned to visit as many as pos- sible of the representative plants in this district. The first stop will be at Houston, where power plants, factories, and foundries are to be visited. A boat trip on the ship channel is planned to see this great artery of commerce and the plants served directly by it Oil refineries and oil fields are in- cluded in the itinerary, as are also the | wharves, and other Galveston activ- | ities. The Freeport Sulphur Com- | pany, and the Sugarland industries are to be visited if time permits. Assistance in the planning of the has been rendered by Mr. F.L.
