ITnrnly, lecturer on the Midland Lyceum Circuit, is a direct descendant of Ulrich Harnly, who, In 3737, emigrated from the vicinity of lilt. Hornll (the original spelling of the name), Switzerland, and settled In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on a tract of land deeded to him direct from the original William Penn grant. Mr. Harnly was horn within a few miles of this homestead, which Is still In possession of a member of the family. The distinctive cosmopolitanism of his sympathies and affections may be due in part, at least, to the blend of races and nationalities of which he Is the product. Through his grandmother Hershey and other ancestors there flows in his veins the blood of Jew and Gentile, of Greek nnd barbarian. If prenatal influences count for anything then may the stress and the terror of Lee’s Invasion have had something to do with the spirit of conflict that seems begotten in him.When a youth of eleven, his father, with his family of nine children, removed to u farm In Sangumon County, Illinois, on which stood an old stuge roadhouse, where, tradition has It, Abraham Lincoln made his maidenspeech. lie Is a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University, from which institution he holds the degrees B.
