38 A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEX. til  al>oiit  the  time  the  Meriden  Bri- tannia Co.  was  formed  that  pots, plates  and  cups  were  made  by  rolling the  metal  and  then  pressing  it  into shape  by  means  of  dies  or  forms. The  articles  formed  by  casting  were susceptible  of  a  high  polish  and  pre- sented quite  an  attractive  appearance if  properly  cared  for  by  the  purchas- oftentimes,  when  poorly  combined,  at a  low  temperature,  the  effect  of  a  han- dle or  spout  dropping  oflf  when  in  use at  the  table  may  be  more  easily  imag- ined than  described.  A  better  com- position was  afterwards  employed, made  of  tin,  antimony  and  copper, which  was  much  harder  and  retained a  more  pronounced  luster.

The  metal first  used  appears  to  have  been  a  com- l)ouiid  of  tin  and  lead,  or  practically pewter,  and  would  easily  dent,  and as  the  solder  used  was  composed  of lead  and  bismuth,  which  would  melt put  of  such  a  factory  as  that  of  Mr. Griswold  could  not  have  been  large. In  1830  he  employed  not  nuire  than ten  or  twelve  men,  and  in  examining his  sales  book  at  that  time  it  is  found that  the  total  sales  of  one  month  did not  e.Kceed  $2,500.  The  power  used was  furnished  by  an  old  blind  horse traveling  around  a  beam  which  com-

For  some  time  there  has  been  a  demand  for  something  not  so  costly  as  our  oak  or  mahogany chests  of  silver  and  yet  more  elaborate  than  our  combination  sets  in  lined  boxes.  Our  new  case, which  is  reproduced  in  the  illustration,  we  believe  will  supply  this  long-felt  want. It  is  silk  covered,  a  rich  dark  green  in  color  and  very  handsome.  It  is  appropriately  lined  and contains  twenty-six  pieces — six  of  our  No.  12  solid  steel  knives,  six  medium  forks,  six  table  spoons, six  tea  spoons,  butter  knife  and  sugar  shell,  listing  complete  for  $21.50. The  jeweler  who  carries  a  complete  line  of  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  silver  ware  will  desire  a number  of  these  cases,  while  the  small  dealer  who  has  not  found  it  advisable  to  carry  our  chests in  stock  may  find  in  them  a  satisfactory  compromise. Beauty  is  one  of  the  essentials  of  silverware.  Silver  must  have  something  more  than  use- fulness to  recommend  it;  it  must  attract.  But  it  must  do  more  than  that.  It  must  invite a  close  examination  of  the  details  of  its  design.  Silver  that  bears  the  trade-mark,  "  1847 Rogers  Bros.",   looks  well  on  the  counter   of   the   dealer   and  welcomes  critical  inspection.

iMERIDEN'S  EARLY  HISTORY. 

BY  GEORGE  MUNSON  CURTIS. 


CHAPTER  I. 

ALTHOUGH  the  history  of  Meriden  as  a  township  certainly  does  not  begin 
until  1806,  the  year  of  its  incorporation,  still  the  story  of  its  set- 
tlement starts  many  years  previous  to  that  date,  at  a  time  when  historic  Ply- 
mouth was  only  forty-one  years  old  and  scarcely  twenty-five  years  had  elapsed 
since  the  founding  of  Hartford,  while  New  Haven  had  little  more  than  attained 
its  majority. 

W  hen  the  white  man  rtrst  bej^jan  to  clear  the  primeval  forests  that  covered  the 
land  now  embraced  within  the  territory  of  Meriden,  Wallinjjford  settlcnient  had 
not  even  been  thotii^ht  i»f.  it  is  a  tact  that  t'ne  Tinmc  of  the  daughter  antedates 
that  (»i  ilie  niothcr  town  oii  \hc  colonial  recurds  bv  lour  years,  for  as  early  as  i(v>6 
the  name  of  Meriden  a])|)ears  in  tlie  lists  of  the  General  Court.  In  all  probability, 
no  Indian  villajje  was  ever  located  within  these  borders,  and  yet  the  land  wa'^ 
clainit  d  as  his  heritaLce  by  three  different  re<l  men  who  each  in  ti?rn  >■ 'Id  it  to 
the  while  man.  In  fact,  the  greater  part  of  Meriden  was  Ixjuglu  of  ihe  aix »ri{?inal 
inhabitants  five  different  times.  licrc  the  dusky  savage  came  to  follow  the  clia<e 
cr  trap  the  beaver  and  many  were  the  hunting  parties  that  roamed  these  hills  and 
valleys. 

All  tliat  part  of  Meriden  lying  north  of  Main  street  was  for  many  years  in 
Hartford  county  and,  in  turn,  jurisdiction  was  claimed  by  the  Colonial  court, 
Wethersfield,  Farmtngton,  Middletown  and  Wallingford,  and  records  of  very  early 
purchases  of  real  estate  must  be  searched  for  hither  and  thither,  one  can  never 
be  sure  where.  With  such  an  uncertain  lineage  and  such  a  complexity  of  juris' 
diction  it  would  be  strange  indeed  if  some  stories  of  the  past  could  not  be  gleaned 
from  the  early  records  that  will  hold  the  attention  of  those  in  whose  hearts  there 
htrks  an  affection  for  the  town  where  so  many  of  us  were  born,  or  have  placed 
our  hearth-stones  and  built  our  homes.  We  may  not  have  a  continuous  town  his- 
tory  of  unbroken  local  government,  but  our  homes  have  been  laid  in  a  country  of 
lovely  hills  and  vales,  and  our  eyes  are  daily  confronted  by  as  beautiful  a  land- 
scape as  can  be  found  in  Connecticut  and  those  who  have  not  been  neglectful  of

A  CENTURY   OF  MERIDEN. 


the  beauties  that  surround  us  love  every  inch  ol  her  ruppcd  cHflFs.  hrau  linj;  brooks, 
uoodlaiKl  paths  and  siuiHng,  cultivated  meadows,  swelling  and  sinking  in  ever 
changing  vistas  of  loveliness. 

It  will  assist  one  to  better  understand  and  appreciate  our  early  annals  if,  on  a 
bright  and  clear  day  in  summer,  a  climb  is  made  to  the  summit  of  West  Peak, 
or  better  still  to  the  grey  tower  known  as  Castle  Crag,  standing  on  the  verge  of 
the  dizzy  cliff  that,  like  a  sentinel,  dominates  all  the  landscape  to  the  west  of  Mer- 
iden. 

In  a  vast  panorama  spreads  the  valley  to  the  north  and  south,  dotted  with 
]>onds,  lakes,  meadows,  woodland  and  villages,  and  cl^ked  on  the  east  by  moun- 
tains and  crags  whidi  distance  clothes  in  a  purple  haze,  half  veiling  the  ruggedness 
of  grim  old  Lamentation,  Higby  and  Beseck,  torn  and  rent  by  the  storms  and 
frosts  of  ages.  Like  a  map  the  country  lies  below  us,  for  we  are  more  than  a 
thousand  feet  above  the  sea.  Away  in  the  north  gleams  the  gilded  dome  of  the 
Capitol  in  that  gentle  depression  which  holds  in  its  lap  Hartford,  Windsor  and 
Wethersfield,  washed  on  the  east  by  the  waters  of  the  Connecticut  and  swelling 
in  the  west  into  the  wooded  slopes  of  Talcott  Mouritnin,  while  further  south  and 
west  the  spreading  waves  of  pioneer  life  extended  the  colony  into  the  valley  of 
tlie  Farmington  river.  With  :i  strong  glass  we  even  fancy  we  can  see  the  spire 
of  the  old  meeting  house  in  Farmington  peci)ing  above  the  green  elm  trees  of  the 
villacre  street;  near  at  hand.  He  New  Britain,  Berlin,  Bristol  and  Southington, 
all  settled  by  the  same  movement  which  drew  the  pioneers  into  the  lovely  Tunxis 
A  alley  and  all  for  many  years  ]>arts  of  the  town  of  FarmiuLxton. 

On  the  borders  of  Pitrlin  and  Meriden  gleams  like  a  spot  of  burnislicd  silver  a 
large  lake,  or  pond,  now  u.scti  by  a  Hartford  Coiiij>any  as  an  ice  reservoir,  but  in 
those  days  of  long  ago.  no  pond  would  have  met  our  eyes,  but  instead  a  vast  mo- 
rass or  swamp  alive  with  Ijeavcrs  and  water  fowl  and  curiously  called  by  the  old 
Dutch  name  of  the  Fly  or  Vly.  Just  south  of  this  pond  was  cleared  the  first  set- 
tlement in  the  territory  of  Meriden.  Glancing  to  the  east  over  Meriden  and  the 
summit  of  Lamentation  we  suspect  rather  than  see  the  ancient  town  of  Middle- 
town,  in  those  early  .  :  .  s  called  Mattabesett,  the  seat  of  the  great  Sachem  Sow- 
heag,  from  whose  son,  bearing  the  euphonious  name  of  Montowese,  was  bought 
by  the  English  of  New  Haven  the  land  extending  northward  from  its  bounds  up 
through  North  Haven  and  Wallingford  as  far  as  where  Kensington  avenue  in 
Meriden  winds  to  the  northwest  on  its  way  to  New  Britain.  Just  at  the  foot  of 
the  steep  side  of  the  most  eastern  of  the  parallel  ridges  close  at  hand,  Cold  Spring 
pours  forth  its  ice  cold  water,  now  almost  forgotten  by  a  generation  which  re- 
members not  the  attractions  of  the  place  before  the  Cold  Spring  Home  or  poor- 
house  had  contaminated  it  by  its  depressing  association.  The  fame  of  Cold 
Spring  was  once  so  great  that  it  lent  its  name  to  localize  all  the  territory  for  at 
least  two  miles  to  the  north,  east  and  south.

EARLY  HISTORy.

On  the  southeast,  hc}nnfl  \N'alIingford,  the  range  of  Lamentation  and  Bescck 
Mountains  stretches  the  bold  front  of  its  trap-rock  cliffs  into  the  town  of  Bran- 
ford,  known  there  as  Totokct  Mountain  :  while  towards  the  south  on  the  horizon 
vise  the  sharp  hills  known  as  Hast  and  W'c-st  l\ocks  and  over  their  svnnniits  we 
catch  irlimpscs  of  Lon;^^  Island  Sound,  indcntinc^  the  land  in  a  little  bay  where 
liic  '  Ji;innipiac  ri\er.  winding  quietly  through  this  southern  valley,  finally  pours 
its  waters,  gathered  from  the  hill?  and  meadows  of  Bristol,  Southinglon, 
Meriden,  Wallingford  and  North  Haven.  New  Haven  we  cannot  see,  for  East 
Rock,  capped  by  the  monnnuTit  t  reeled  in  memory  of  tlie  dead  of  the  Civil  war, 
hides  and  shelters  it  from  the  north. 

It  is  aa  historic  as  well  as  a  beautiful  panorama  on  whieh  we  arc  gazing  and 
students  and  historians  have  many  times  told  the  story  of  Connecticut  and  New 
liavoi;  colonies  and  it  may  seem  unnecessary  to  give  in  these  pages  even  the 
slightest  sketch  of  this  early  history,  but  Meriden's  earliest  settlement  depends  so 
largel}-  on  the  relations  of  these  two  rivals  that  the  attempt  will  be  made  to  re- 
fresh the  raeniory  of  those  who  have  forgotten. 

In  1635  a  little  band  of  Englishmen  who  had  but  lately  arrived  from  the  mother 
oomAryt  began  to  regret  their  decision  to  reside  near  Boston.  Resenting  the  re- 
ligious and  civil  intolerance  of  the  lately  settled  towns  in  eastern  Massachusetts 
and  lon^ng  to  found  a  commonwealth  on  a  more  liberal  basis,  they  gathered  up 
their  possessions  and  turned  their  faces  towards  the  Connecticut  river  at  Hartford. 
Driving  their  cattle  and  herds  before  them  they  traversed  on  foot  the  long  and 
tedious  journey  and  by  1636  they  had  founded  the  three  towns  of  Hartford,  Wind- 
sor and  Wethersfield.  Here,  under  the  leadership  of  Rev.  Thotnas  Hooker,  they 
laid  the  fotmdation  of  constitutional  government  in  this  country,  for  it  was  in 
Hartford  that  was  drawn  up  the  first  written  constitution  of  which  history  gives 
us  any  record.^  Hartford  was  the  birtliplace  of  American  democracy.  These 
three  river  towns  were  the  nucleus  of  the  colony  of  Connecticut  and  hardly  an 
event  in  the  settlement  of  Anierica  was  of  more  importance  than  the  cornerstone 
of  free  government  laid  by  these  early  pioneers,  for  here  grew  tip  the  theory  of 
govf>mment  "of  the  people,  by  the  people,  for  the  people,"^  that  American  idea 
of  a  free  and  equal  government  where  every  freeman  in  good  standing  is  entitled 
to  the  hailnt  and  can  register  his  ai)|)rfival  or  disapprnval  of  men  and  measures. 

In  1638  another  company  of  Englishmen  landed  in  Boston,  the  mo?t  opulent 
of  ,!i;v  C'f  these  early  migrations  across  the  sea.  Led  by  the  London  merchant, 
Theophilus  Eaton  and  the  Rev.  John  Davenport,  they  were  not  satisfied  l>y  the  con- 
ditions thev  found  in  the  towns  around  Massachusetts  Bay,  and,  m  bpite  of  in- 
Ouccmeuts  to  settle  in  iIk-  neigh Ijorlujud  where  they  bad  landed,  they  sought  for 
a  virgin  field  where  they  could  establish  the  religious  and  political  ideas  they  had

brought  with  them.  Thc>'  finally  decided  on  the  meadows  near  the  mouth  of  the 
Quinnipiac  river  as  the  place  where  they  could  safely  try  their  experiment  in  civil 
government.  Called  at  first  Quinnipiac,  after  the  tril)e  of  Indians  from  \\hom 
the  land  was  bought,  the  name  was  soon  chanj^ed  to  New  Haven.  Other  baiicl-^ 
of  pilj^rims  soon  arrived  and  Milfnrd.  F>ranford  and  Guilford  were  founded  and 
these  four  towns  were  soon  welded  into  the  colony  of  New  Haven. 

The  methods  of  government  were  very  different  from  those  of  tlie  colony  of 
Connecticut  at  the  north.  In  New  Haven  the  l')i1)le  was  the  constitution  and  no 
one  was  entitled  to  the  ballot  who  was  not  a  cbureh  member  in  L;oud  standini^. 
In  other  words,  the  colonx  was  «^ovcrncd  by  what  may  be  called  a  church  oligar- 
chy. It  nia\  rcatlily  be  imauined  that  the  commonwealth  with  a  center  at  Hart- 
ford was  speedily  to  become  much  more  popular  than  the  one  located  on  the 
Sound.  It  grew  more  rapidly  in  territory  and  numbers  and  soon  embraced 
the  newly  settled  towns  of  Stratford,  Sayhrook,  New  London,  Farming- 
ton,  Fairfield  and  Norwalk,  while  New  Haven  never  extended  its  original  bounds 
except  to  settle  and  absorb  the  town  of  Stamford. 

Here,  then,  were  two  rival  colonies  only  thirty^six  miles  apart,  but  as  widely 
SQMirated  as  the  poles  in  methods  and  theories  of  government.  Just  half  way 
between  was  the  territory  of  Meriden,  a  buffer  as  it  were  between  two  rival  push- 
ing bands  of  land-hungry  Englishmen. 

Without  doubt  the  oldest  highway  of  any  length  in  the  state  of  Connecticut 
is  the  Old  Colony  road,  leading  from  Hartford  to  New  Haven  and  still  bearing 
tliis  descriptive  name  as  it  passes  through  Meriden  ancl  W'allingford.  Probably 
there  was  an  Indian  trail  occupying  the  same  general  position  before  the  white 
man's  advent,  for,  according  to  credible  tradition  and  written  records  the  Indian.^, 
although  never  inhabiting  the  valley  between  Lamentation  and  Hanging  Hills, 
resorted  hither  from  the  vicinity  of  Hartford  and  New  Haven  to  follow  the  chase. 
Although  travel  between  the  colonies  of  Connecticut  and  New  Haven  could  not 
have  been  very  frecjuent  during  the  first  few  years,  still  tlie  nld  records  preserve 
evidence?  of  communication  between  the  two  rolnnirs.  In  1639  letters  troin 
Ontnnipiac  were  demanding  the  attention  of  the  tieneral  Court  in  Hartford^  and 
the  same  year  it  was  tbnngbt  best  h  >  send  to  Quinnipiac  counsels  relative  to  de- 
fense against  the  Indians  and  Mr.  Webster  and  Mr.  Willis  were  dispatched  on 
the  errand.- 

A  few  weeks  later  Edward  IIu})kius.  of  Harlb^rd,  set  ont  from  that  town  for 
Stratford  wdth  a  drove  of  cattle  and  passed  through  New  Havrn  ■  and  afterwards 
he  confesses  to  frequent  journeys  over  the  same  road  wlicn  be  writes  "I  remember 
with  what  pleasure  he  (Gov.  Thcop.  Eaton)  would  come  down  the  street  that

to  devise  mean>  to  o\erconie  the  wiles  of  the  Devil,  who  in  this  new  country  of 
inibrokrn  wilderness  and  ti-rrible  solitudes  was  cunningly  devising  new  tempta- 
tions to  draw  the  souls  of  the  faitliful  from  the  straight  and  narrow  \v;t\. 

Con.<;equently,  the  country  in  the  vicinity  of  Meriden  soon  became  familiar  to 
many  of  the  colonists  in  ilartiord  and  New  Haven  and  other  towns.  If  these 
ancient  worthies  had  lime  and  inclination  to  admire  the  beauties  of  nature  they 
•nust  have  been  impressed  as  they  entered  the  valley  between  Lamentation  Moun- 
tain on  the  east  and  the  gently  rising  Hanging  Hills  on  the  west,  which,  gradu- 
ally climbing  higher  and  higher,  with  here  and  there  great  si)aces  of  rock,  grey 
with  the  frosts  of  ages,  drop  precii)itonsIy  into  the  plain  extending  to  the  Sound. 
No  other  place  on  their  weary  journey  could  have  compared  in  beauty  and  pic- 
turesqueness  with  this  little  valley.  But  even  the  beauty  of  hill  and  dale  can  hardly 
have  repaid  them  for  the  hardships  endured  during  the  long  and  weary  thirt^'-six 
miles  which  lay  between  Hartford  and  New  Haven,  with  hardly  a  house  to  break 
the  monotony  of  the  journey.  There  were  only  two  methods  of  overcoming  this 
distance :  one  must  travel  afoot  or  on  horseback  over  a  path  without  bridges  and 
with  the  directions  blazed  on  the  trees  of  the  primeval  forest. 

The  necessity  for  caution  in  following  this  road  through  the  wilderness  may 
be  judged  by  the  following  extract  from  a  letter  written  by  Rev.  John  Daven- 
port, of  Xew  Haven,  to  Gov.  Winthrop  at  Hartford,  dated  6  month,  1660: 

**I  received  a  former  letter  from  you  by  Mr.  Bishop  who,  in  his  return  from 
your  parts  hitherward,  tooke  a  wrong  path  twise  and  was  so  bewiltlered  that  he 
lost  his  way  from  W'ethersfieUl  and  lay  in  the  woods  in  a  very  cold  night  and 
came  not  to  us  til  the  last  day  of  the  weeke  towards  noone."^

l^HH  :is  late  a?  1672  the  Governor  of  New  York  in  his  instructions  to  post 
riders  from  that  cnlcniy  to  P.oston  states,  "You  are  principally  to  apply  yourselfe 
to  tlic  Governors  csjiccially  Governor  W'inthrop  (at  Hartford)  from  whom  you 
sliall  receive  the  hest  directions  how  to  form  yc  best  Poast  Road.  When  you

many  places  the  savagfes  kept  the  woods  clear  from  underbrush  by  burning  over 
large  tracts.  '  and  doubtless  the  colonists  followed  the  same  method.  "Thus  the 
'blazes'  stood  out  clear  and  while  in  the  dark  shadows  of  the  forests  like  welcoiue 
guide-posts,  showing  the  traveler  his  way/'^  And  \et,  ahvass  haunting  one,  like 
a  ghost  that  will  not  be  exorcised,  was  the  fear  of  the  lurking  savage  and  wild 
beast ;  and  at  any  sudden  noise  there  was  a  tenser  strain  of  the  nerves  and  a  tight- 
ening grasp  of  the  trusty  rifle,  that  constant  "vade  mecum"  of  the  sturdy  colonist 
The  Rev.  John  Davenport,  in  a  letter  to  Governor  Wtnthrop,  dated  April  2,  1660, 
gives  us  a  little  story  which  illustrates  the  perils  of  the  journey  and  which  for 
dearth  of  other  material  may  well  be  inserted : 

"Honored  Sir — received  yours  by  Brother  Benham,  whom  God  preserved 
from  being  drowned  in  his  journey  homeward.  The  river  by  Mr.  Yale's  farm 
was  swollen  high ;  his  wife  was  fearful  of  riding  through  it  God  provided  an 
help  for  her  at  the  instant  by  a  passenger  who  traveled  from  Windsor  to  Bran- 
ford  to  Mr,  Crane's,  whose  daughter  he  had  married.  He  helped  Sister  Benham 
over  a  tree.  But  her  husband,  adventuring  to  ride  through,  a  foot  of  his  horse 
slipped,  so  he  fell  into  the  water,  and  his  horse,  as  he  thinketh,  fell  upon  him  or 
struck  him  with  his  foot,  for  he  had  a  blow  on  his  head.  But  through  the  mercy 
of  God  he  is  now  well."  *  *  *  This  was  doubtless  at  the  crossing  of  Pil- 
grims' Harbor  Brook,  for  no  one  could  cross  the  Quinnipiac  River  when  swollen, 
by  means  of  a  tree  or  log. 

But  they  were  a  brave  and  imdaunted  people  and  notwithstanding  the  bidden 
terrors  of  the  wilderness  slowly  but  riK  ntlessly  the  van  of  the  settlements  was 
constantly  advancing,  and  as  the  numbers  increased  the  question  of  a  dividing  line 
between  the  sister  governments  of  Connecticut  and  Xiw  Haven  began  to  attract 
attention.  It  is  easy  to  imagine  that,  when  bounds  bad  been  described  only  in 
deeds  from  tlie  Indians,  drawn  up  when  limits  were  not  considered  of  moment, 
accuracy  in  tracing  tliese  bounds  would  cause  nuich  friction.  At  last  New  Haven 
determined  to  leave  no  room  for  doubt  as  to  the  extent  of  her  territory,  and  at  a 
General  Court  held  April  23,  1660,  "the  Governor  desired  that  the  bounds  of  a 
p'cel  of  land  towards  Connecticote  might  be  sett  out  for  the  prevention  of  future 
differences  that  might  otherwise  arise  betwixt  us  w'ch  motion  was  approved  and

t,  Nathaniel  Merriman  with  the  help  of  Mantowecs.  an  Indian  \e  late  pprictor 
lall  set  out  the  bounds  wth  lasting  marks  wch  is  to  be  done  wth  the  first  con- 
enyence. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  two  of  these  men  were  leaders  in  the  settlement 
f  WallinL^'ford  ten  years  later,  and  prol»al)ly  their  first  acquaintance  with  that 
icinity  was  made  during  their  service  on  the  committee  to  execute  this  vote  of 
le  General  {.'ourt. 

As  soon  as  s]»riiig  has  really  c<nne  we  may  in  fancy  see  these  men.  clad  in 
aihcrn  doublet  and  breeches,  accompanied  by  the  dusky  warrior,  Alontowese, 
I  riding  along  the  road  leading  to  "Connecticote,"  crossing  the  bridge  lately  built 
wr  the  Oninnii)iac.  and  settint::  their  faces  towards  the  north  where  in  the  hazy 
isiaiicc  can  l)e  traced  the  dim  outlines  of  the  Hanging  Hills.  First,  we  note  the 
turdy  form  of  Xatlianiel  Merriman.  a  veteran  of  the  I'equot  War  of  1636  and 
icstined  later,  as  captain  of  dragoons  and  accompanied  by  his  son,  Nathaniel,  Jr., 
D  play  his  part  in  the  great  swamp  fort  fight  of  King  Philip's  War;  where,  alasl 
nany  of  the  flower  of  Coimecticut's  young  manhood  perished,  Nathaniel,  Jr., 
mong  the  rest  Our  veteran  as  he  firmly  strides  along  is  now  in  the  prime  of 
ife;  bom  in  16 14,  the  son  of  George  Merriman  of  London,  who  died  there  in 
656,2  he  early  cast  his  lot  among  the  New  Haven  planters,  and  when  Wallingford 
vas  settled  in  1670  he  was  one  of  the  pioneers  and  until  his  death  in  1694  was 
onspicuous  and  honored  in  that  community.  He  is  still  represented  among  us 
ty  worthy  and  respected  descendants. 

Next  we  see  Thomas  Yale  who  came  to  New  Havoi  a  youth  in  charge  of  Gov. 
rheophilus  Eaton,  who  had  married  his  widowed  mother,  the  daughter  of  Thomas 
>Iorton,  Bishop  of  Chester,  England.  He  evidently  was  fond  of  pioneer  life,  for 
vhen  New  Haven  had  grown  to  be  a  larger  town  he  settled  in  North  Haven  *,  he 
Iso  has  left  many  descendants  among  us  who  still  maintain  the  prestige  of  his 
ame.  Then  comes  John  Brockett,  who  also  served  in  King  Philip's  War;  he 
vas  frequently  employed  as  a  surveyor  and  many  of  the  early  roads  in  New  Ha- 
en  Counfy  were  laid  out  under  his  direction;  after  him  comes  Wm.  Andrews 
vho  accompanied  Gov.  Eaton  to  New  Haven  at  the  first  settlement  and  was  for 
nany  years  the  keeper  of  the  only  inn  in  that  town ;  and  last  of  all  is  John  Cooper, 
prominent  man  in  the  community,  for  many  years  manager  of  the  iron  works 
tnd  frequently  a  representative  at  the  General  Court. 

In  December,  1638,  Theophilus  Eaton  and  John  Davenport  had  bought  of 
Tontowese,  the  son  of  the  sachem  at  Middletown,  a  tract  of  land  ten  miles  long, 
ying  north  of  a  purchase  previously  made  of  an  Indian  sachem  named  Momau- 
4in.  This  purchase  was  added  to  by  a  subsequent  deed  in  1645  which  has  been

lingford  and  over  the  hill  by  Walnut  Grove  cemetery  until  they  come  to  Pilg^rims 
Harbor.  Here,  we  fancy,  some  little  time  was  consumed  in  crossing  the  brod 
where  Lyon  &  Billard 's  office  now  stands,  and  in  picking  their  way  through  th 
swamp  which  formerly  made  this  locality  almost  impassable.  On  they  went  u] 
what  is  now  G>lony  street  until  quite  to  the  present  junction  of  that  street  an« 
Kensington  avenue. 

As  far  as  this  Montowese  clainu'd  his  domains  had  extended  and  here  the; 
placed  "lasting  marks"  which  would  define  the  I'oundaries  between  Connecticu 
and  New  Haven  colonies.  Their  work  done,  doubtless,  they  leisurely  proceed€< 
home,  possibly  lingering  a  little  while  on  the  hill  where  the  future  Wallingfon 
was  to  lie. 

It  was  not  long  l)efore  the  (iencral  Court  at  Hartford  had  been  infonned  o 
New  Haven's  action  and  although  no  record  ol  <lohate  or  action  appears  on  th< 
minute*;.  \\c  know  that  a  prnfcst  was  sent  and  that  the  action  of  Xe\v  Haven  wa; 
not  sutlcred  to  pass  without  comment  or  o])position.  Rev.  Mr.  Davenport's  lettei 
of  October  30th,  1660,  to  (lovernor  W  inthro[)  was  unqtiestionabl y  an  answer  t( 
some  complaint  from  Hartford  colony  and  it  is  well  to  quote  those  passages  relat

Tiui  latter  throws  a  flood  of  light  upon  the  c<in<lition,  at  that  lime,  of  the  ter- 
ritory now  embraced  in  Aleriden.  It  shows  that  it  had  been  usetl  bv  the  Indian?

cut  in  1665. 

The  Genera!  Court  at  Hartford  ajiparently  did  not  formally  present  a  protest 
until  1661.  At  a  General  Court  held  in  New  Haven  May  29,  1661,  the  follow  ing 
vote  was  passed:  "It  was  alsoe  ordered  that  a  committee  be  chosen  by  this  court

follows :  *'This  Court  havin^^  receaved  infonnation  not  onl}  In  what  appeares 
one  of  yor  Lawes  respect ;  the  purchase  of  land  from  yc  Indians  wherein  there 
a  seeming^e  challcng  of  very  large  intrests  of  lands  and  likewise  by  what  intel<

«s  on  this  side  Ptlgroomes  Harbour  wch  things  as  ye  intrench  upon  or  intrest 
i  they  are  not  satisfying  or  contentful,"^  etc.,  etc. 

Meanwhile  Connecticut  did  not  content  herself  by  letter  writing  only.  She 
IS  determined  to  forestall  any  attempt  on  the  part  of  New  Haven  to  absorb  the 
rritory  north  of  Pilgrims'  Harbor.  On  Aug.  28,  1661,  she  granted  to  Jonathan 
Jbert,  of  Hartford,  "a  farm  to  ye  number  of  300  acres  of  upland  and  50  acres 

meadow/'^  which  he  immediately  proceeded  to  take  up,  at  Cold  Spring,  in  the 
^rthem  limits  of  our  town,  for  on  May  15.  1662,  he  is  granted  permission  "to 
fep  an  ordinary,  or  inn,  at  his  house  at  CoUl  Sprinf?/'^  And  on  Oct.  15,  1664, 
dward  Higbce.  of  Connecticut,  bought  of  a  Hartford  Indian  the  land  between 
r.  Gilbert's  farm  called  Merideen  and  Pilgrims  Harbour  River  or  Brook.^  Thus 

a  somewhat  high-handed  way  Coiniecticut  had  secured  possession  of  all  the 
rritory  of  Meriden  north  of  Harhor  l>nx)k,  not\vithsian<ling  that  Kev.  Mr.  Dav- 
iport  had  asserted  in  1660  that  New  Haven  had  bought  the  same  land  of  Mon-

CHAPTER  II. 

Whclhcr  ConiicclicuL  s  protest  sent  to  New  Haven  against  the  action  of  the 
utter  colony  in  placini?  "lastinL,^  marks"  or  bomids  in  this  vicinity  was  brought 
i.bout  by  a  Inlief  that  the  laixls  in  question  were  coniniercially  vahiahle  or  simply 
)y  a  desire  to  push  back  any  attempt  ai  further  expansion  by  New  llavcn,  of 
:ourse  we  cannot  tell.  But  the  action  of  the  General  Court  in  granting  a  farm 
>f  350  acres  to  Jonatliaii  Gilbert  perhaps  shows  that  the  wilderness  about  Meriden 
was  of  value  in  one  way  at  least  For  many  years  after  fhe  colony  was  settled 
ihere  was  a  considerable  trade  in  furs  and  the  immediate  locality  of  Gilbert's 
Eiarm  certainly  abounded  in  beavers  and  other  fur^bearing  animals  at  one  time.  He 
)uilt  across  the  river  from  Hartford  a  warehouse  whence  he  shipped  to  Boston 
Furs  and  other  produce  of  the  country.  Just  north  of  his  farm  was  the  old  "Fly" 
ilready  mentioned.  This  word  is  of  Dutch  origin  and  is  in  common  use  in  those 
^arts  of  New  York  and  New  Jersey  first  settled  by  the  Dutch.^  The  original 
Form  of  the  word  was  Vly  or  Vley ;  then  corrupted  into  Fly*  and  was  the  Dutch 
sxpression  for  a  swamp  or  morass.  From  time  out  of  mind  the  old  swamp  now 
named  the  Peat  Works  Pond  was  called  The  Fly  and  the  Old  Ry,  and  so  far  as 
the  writer  can  learn  this  locality  is  the  only  place  in  Central  Connecticut  that 
bears  such  a  name,  although  the  word  is  sometimes  met  with  in  the  extreme  west- 
ern part  of  this  state.  Are  we  to  believe  from  this  use  of  the  word  in  Meriden 
that  the  locality  was  known  to  the  Dutch  who  erected  the  Good  Hope  Fort  at 
Hartford  before  the  arrival  of  the  English  and  that  they  were  in  the  habit  of  re- 
sorting hither  to  trap  the  beaver?  Albert  Norton,  of  Berlin,  the  owner  of  a  large 
part  of  the  old  Meriden  Farm,  says  that  when  the  disastrous  attempt  was  made  by 
the  Aetna  Peat  Works  to  manufacture  marketable  peat  at  the  "Fly"  many  years 
ag^o,  in  several  places  excavations  were  made  at  least  fifteen  feet  in  depth  and  in 
each  instance  trunks  of  trees  were  frequently  found  even  at  the  bottom  of  the  holes, 
90  perfectly  preserv  ed  that  they  still  bore  the  marks  of  the  teeth  of  beavers  made 
centuries  ago.  The  Dutch  knew  Central  Connecticut  well  and  one  of  their  early 
niaps  indicates  the  mountains  at  Meriden  as  well  as  East  and  West  Rocks  at  New 
ITavcn  which  they  called  Rodenberg  (Red  Mts).^  The  vote  of  the  General  Court 
of  Connecticut  which  granted  to  Mr.  (iilbert  the  right  to  keep  an  inn  at  his  farm 
in  Meriden  reads  as  follows,  under  date  of  May  15,  1662:  ''This  colony  grants

liberty  to  ye  Marshall  Jonathan  Gilbert  to  keep  an  ordinar>'  at  his  hoii.se  at  Cold! 
Spring  for  releiving  of  travellers  according  to  their  needs,"  showing  that,  although  1 
the  fann  had  been  granted  to  him  August  28,  166 1,  he  had  already  built  a  houKj 
on  it  the  following  May,  hardly  time  enough  to  liave  erected  a  stone  house  which 
later  records  show  was  standing  there  subsequcntl)'.   This  farm  as  first  laid  out 
was  on  tlie  west  side  of  Colony  road  and  extended  from  the  laneway  just  south 
of  the  house  of  Albert  Norton  in  Berlin,  southerly  to  a  line  a  little  south  of  the 
house  now  occupied  by  L.  Michaelis,  but  formerly  owned  by  James  Bartlett  and' 
known  to  most  Meriden  people  as  the  Belcher  farm.   It  was  bounded  on  the  east 
by  Colony  road  and  on  the  west  by  a  stone  wall  still  standing  about  three  thousand 
feet  west  of  the  railroad  track  and  running  parallel  to  it.  The  old  house  proba* 
bty  stood  between  the  Michaetis  house  and  that  of  Mrs.  E.  H.  Yale,  a  little  to 
the  north.   As  Meriden's  settlement  originated  with  this  farm  it  does  not  seem  in- 
appropriate to  devote  some  space  to  it  and  to  Meriden's  ftrst  land  owner,  Mr. 
Gilbert.  The  fact  that  this  farm  was  originally  granted  to  Mr.  Gilbert  seemed 
to  have  been  entirely  foigotten  until  Dr.  Davis  brought  the  fact  to  light  in  his- 
History  of  Waltingford  and  Meriden.   Dr.  Perkins,  in  his  interesting  Historical 
Sketches  of  Meriden,  says:^  *'It  appears  that  one  Mr.  Belcher  very  early,  but  how 
early  we  cannot  precisely  ascertain,  had  a  grant  of  a  large  tract  of  land  on  our' 
present  northern  border.   Whether  this  was  a  colonial  grant  or  a  royal  grant  we 
do  not  know  for  no  trace  of  deed  or  grant  can  be  found  in  the  state  records  or 
tow  n  records."    This  seems  even  now  to  be  the  generally  received  opinion  and 
yet  it  is  entirely  erroneous  and  it  is  singular  that  a  man  so  discriminating  and 
painstaking  as  Dr.  Perkins  was  should  have  utterly  overlooked  records  that  were  in 
the  Capitol  at  Hartford.   The  first  white  man  to  own  land  within  the  present 
limits  of  the  town  of  Meriden  was  Jonathan  Gilbert. 

( PHicslmlle  of  Blgniiture  taken  from  bis  will.) 

Tie  was  one  of  the  earlir^i  <i  ttlers  at  Hartford  and  a  man  of  marked  iniluenci 
in  that  community  and  at  his  death  left  a  large  estate.  At  one  time  he  w  as  em- 
ployed as  interpreter  in  negotiations  l»v  the  colonial  government  with  the  Indians, 
indicating  that  he  had  mixed  mucli  with  the  savages.  His  profession  was  that  0' 
inn  keeper  at  Hartford,  a  position  at  that  time  of  much  respectability.  He  wa:i 
also  marshal  of  the  cnlrun  aiul  freriuently  a  member  of  the  <  iencrni  Cnnrt.  Ht 
was  engaged  al.so  in  the  fur  trade  with  lioston,  as  already  mentioned.   The  produoi

liclchcr.  In  all  his  undcrtakini^s  he  appears  to  ha\o  heoii  a  man  of  energy  and 
push.  .Mr.  Gilhert  <licd  Dcccniher  lo,  1682.  Sonic  idea  of  his  weahh  may  he 
^ined  by  noting  that  his  inventory  among  other  things  contained  two  gold  rings, 
gold  shoe  buckles,  guUl  tooth])icks,  gold  shirt  buttojis  and  one  himdred  and  forty 
ounces  of  plate.  His  house  in  Hartford  was  a  large  antl  commodious  one  and 
his  total  inventory  ammtnted  to  £2484- ij-*; — a  large  fortimc  for  those  days. 
After  Mr.  Gilbert  had  acc(uired  his  farm  at  Cold  Spring  he  put  in  charge  of  it, 
apparently ,  Edward  Higbce,  who  seems  to  have  been  of  a  singularly  roaming 
disposition,  for  he  was  located  at  different  times  in  New  London,  Stratford,  Mid* 
dletown,  Meriden  and  Jamaica,  L.  I.  He  probably  died  at  this  latter  place.  One 
of  his  sons  did  not  accompany  him  but  settled  in  Middletown  near  Higby  Moun- 
tain, and  his  descendants  are  hereabouts  to  this  day.  So  far  as  we  can  learn 
Edward  Htgbee  (or  Higby  as  spelled  now)  was  the  first  white  man  to  take  up 
his  permanent  abode  in  Meriden.  Savage,  in  his  Genealc^cal  Dictionary,  says 
he  was  an  inn  keeper  in  Middletown  in  1674.  That  he  lived  on  Mr.  Gilbert  s 
farm  is  certain  from  the  contents  of  a  deposition  made  by  his  son,  John  Higbee, 
in  1683,  in  which  he  says  "*  *  *  when  my  father,  Edward  Higbe  Sen.  lived 
at  Mr.  Jonathan  Gilbord's  farme  called  Meriden."^  We  know  that  Mr.  Higbee 
was  in  this  vicinity  very  shortly  after  Mr.  Gilbert  acquired  his  farm,  for  Mr.  Per- 
kins in  his  Historical  Sketches  of  Meriden.^  copied  a  deed  from  Seaukett.  Indian, 
to  Edward  Higbee  conveying  all  the  land  between  Mr.  Gilbert's  Meriden  Farm 
ancl  Pilgrims'  Harbft  flrook.  Seaukett  was  an  Indian  whose  nrme  apf)ears  in 
Windsor  documents,  h  is  variously  sp<llofl  Seoket  and  Scacet.  Dr.  Stiles  in  l)is 
History  of  Windsor  says  he  was  one  of  the  Poquonnock  Indians.  The  deed  is  as

Seaket,  my  heirs  or  any  other  Indian  or  Indians  whatsoever  and  so  subscribe 
my  name. 


In  presence  and  witness  of  Bryan  Rossetter  and  Mary  Gilbert. 

Mr.  Rossetter  was  a  man  of  prominence  and  a  physician  and  lived  at  Guilford 
and  his  son  John  afterwards  married  Mr.  Gilbert's  daughter.  In  this  deofl  is  the 
first  recorded  use  of  the  name  Meriden.  After  Mr.  Higbee  had  acquired  the  In- 
dian title  to  the  land  in  question  he  was  confirmed  in  it  by  the  action  of  the  General 
Court  October  12,  1665.  On  the  Middletown  land  records  under  date  of  July  15, 
1668,^  is  a  further  description  of  the  proper^  which  is  considerably  contracted  from 
that  of  the  Indian  deed  just  quoted.  It  is  somewhat  difficult  from  the  certainly  inac- 
curate survey  and  description  to  locate  the  precise  limits  of  the  tract  of  land.  But 
from  later  deeds  when  the  land  was  sold  and  divided  one  would  say  that  the 
boundaries  were  about  as  follows:  i'-cginning  at  the  Center  street  crossing  of  Har- 
bor Brook  draw  a  Hnc  west  one  nulc  long,  thence  north  another  mile,  then  east 
half  a  !nile  ;  thence  southeast  to  about  w  hore  r>road  strc-et  crosses  Harbor  Brook 
thence  to  tlie  starting  point  at  Center  blreet.  Just  where  his  Iiouse  stood  we  can- 
not positively  state  hut  it  was  probably  on  the  south  side  of  the  junction  of  Ken- 
sington avenue  an<l  Colony  street.  Tliis  deed  takes  us  back  to  a  time  when  there 
were,  in  all  iirubability,  only  two  houses  in  Meriden.  one  Mr.  Higbee's  and  the 
other  the  inn  of  Mr.  Gilbert,  and  our  townshij)  was  almost  an  unbroken  wilder- 
ness. Some  idea  of  the  amount  of  travel  between  IIartfor<l  and  New  Ilavcn  may 
be  gained  by  the  following  extract  from  the  Conn.  Col.  Records  under  date  of 
Oct,  II,  1666. 

"This  Court  orders  that  Edward  Iligbey  for  makeing  and  maintaining  the 
way  over  Pilgrooms  Harbour  passable  for  man  and  horse  shal  have  his  estate  and 
farme  free  of  countrey  [Rates]  for  tl^s  yeare  and  next  he  maintaindng  the  way 
soe  longe  as  aforesaid."^  One  who  remembers  the  condition  of  the  "Comer'* 
many  years  ago  will  confess  that  Mr.  Higbee  fully  earned  his  exemption  from 
taxes.  It  probably  involved  much  more  than  building  a  bridg^e 
over  the  brook  which  is  not  mentioned.  Notiliing  would  have  made  the  way 
passable  except  a  corduroy  or  log  foundation.  How  long  Mr.  HifC" 
bee  continued  to  live  in  Meriden  we  do  not  know ;  but  Middletown  records  tell 
us  that  in  1673  he  sold  his  "housing  and  land  near  Pilgrims'  Harbor"  to  Henry 
Cole,  of  Middletown,  and  shortly  after  removed  to  Jamaica,  L.  I.

But  to  return  to  Jonathan  Gilbert  and  his  farm.  Shortly  after  he 
had  ol)taincd  it  he  built  his  inn.  Mr,  E.  H.  Yale  many  years  ago 
in  digi^ing  a  well  just  south  of  his  house,  unearthed  the  remains  of 
the  ancient  foundation.  The  inn  wa*^  doubtless  a  famous  place  and 
many  an  interesting  tale  must  have  been  lold  around  its  hospitable  hearth  of 
witches  and  goblins  and  hairbreadth  escapes  from  the  savage  Indians.  X^tliinir 
now  is  leit  but  a  name  and  a  few  facts  gleaned  from  musty  records.  Could  these 
sturdy  pioneers  return  again  to  this  spot  and  in  the  dusk  of  a  summer  evening 
watch  the  ghost-like  bicycles  and  automobiles  fleeting  by  on  the  smooth  macadam 
road  which  now  skirts  the  farm,  what  tales  of  wonder  and  mystery  they  would 
tell— 01  how  witches  have  discarded  the  awkward  broomsticks  and  now  bestride 
the  back  of  an  iron  goblin,  or,  borne  by  a  snorting,  flaming  dragon,  they  i)ass  one 
like  a  breath  of  wind  to  their  nocturnal  orgies;  while  the  roar  and  rumble  of  a 
train  on  the  other  side  of  the  larni  would  certainly  convince  them  that  the 
powers  of  hell  were  waxing  strong  indeed.  But  those  old  days  are  gone  never 
to  return  and  so  utterly  are  they  forgotten  that  the  few  facts  we  can  save  from 
oblivion  merely  sketch  like  a  wisp  of  mist  events  we  would  fain  see  more  clearly. 
It  should  be  constantly  kept  in  mind  that  at  this  time  the  name  of  Meriden  was 
applied  solely  to  Mr.  Gilbert's  farm.  It  was  not  until  many  years  later  that  the 
name  was  used  to  describe  the  whole  territory  we  now  know  as  Meriden.  What 
to-day  we  call  colloquially  the  "Comer"  was  then  known  as  Pilgrims'  Harbor  and 
the  brook  acquired  its  name  because  it  flowed  through  the  locality.  After  Mr. 
Gilbert's  death  in  1682  there  followed  a  bitter  controversy  among  the  heirs  which 
resulted  in  probably  one  of  the  first,  if  not  the  first,  contested  will  case  in  Con- 
necticut The  documents  in  the  case  are  on  file  in  The  State  Library  in  the  Cap- 
itol at  Hartford  in  the  volumes  known  as  Private  Controversies,  and  they  g^ve 
an  interesting  picture  of  the  times.  Mr.  Gilbert  left  nine  children  and  a  widow. 
The  eldest  child,  Jonathan,  Jr.,  bom  of  a  previous  wife,  was  cut  off  by  the  terms 
of  the  will  with  a  small  portion  of  his  father's  estate.  He  had  been  wild  in  his 
youth  and  evidently  always  a  ne'er-do-well  who  had  caused  his  father  much  dis- 
tress, about  which  he  had  conversed  with  Edward  Higbee  at  Meriden  Farm.  Thi 
will,  which  was  dated  in  1674,  had  left  Meriden  Farm  to  a  son,  Nathaniel,  but  as 
this  son  died  before  his  fa^er,  the  farm  became  the  joint  inheritance  of  all  the 
surviving  children.  The  contested  will  case  was  finally  settled  by  Jonathan,  Jr.  tak- 
ing some  land  on  the  "East  side  of  the  great  River  in  Haddum"  in  settlement  of 
his  claim  and  the  widow,  Mary,  bought  his  interest  in  the  Meriden  Farm  on  January 
9,  1684.  On  September  6,  1686,  all  the  other  children  sold  their  right  in  this 
farm  to  Andrew  Belcher,  of  Charleston,  New  England,  mariner,  stating  in  the 
deed  that  the  place  was  commonly  called  Merriden  Farme  and  that  it  was  then, 
in  whole  or  in  part,  in  the  occupation  of  Samuel  Elmor.   The  date  of  Elmor's  be-

mariner  plying  hdwrm  }»oston  and  Hartf'>r<l  and  his  name  occurs  frt<|nentlv 
in  the  Colonial  Records  and  he  evidently  amassed  a  considerable  fortune  in  his 
ventures,  for  he  finally  achieved  the  reputation  of  being  the  most  opulent  mer- 
chant in  New  England.  He  was  shrewd  and  energetic  and  evidently  was  capa- 
ble of  driving  a  hard  bargain.  W' hile  he  was  one  of  the  counsellors  of  Massa- 
chusetts the  selectmen  of  Boston,  having  objected  to  his  sending  com  to  Cura- 
coa  in  the  Dutch  West  Indies  on  account  of  a  scarcity  of  that  article  in  New 
England  he  tartly  replied,  **The  hardest  fend  ofif :  if  you  stop  my  vessels  I  will 
hinder  the  coming  in  of  three  times  as  niuch.'*^  He  was  in  trouble  in  1682  for 
breaking  the  navigation  laws  and  his  vessel  was  seized  at  Boston,'  and  in  1688 
he  was  accused  of  trading  with  a  "pyrate"  for  hides  and  elephants*  teeth.*  After 
the  terrible  swamp  fort  fight  at  South  Kingston  in  R.  I.  Dec.  19,  1675,  in  King 
Philips  war.  the  hardy  soldiers  were  in  great  distress  for  tack  of  provisions,  but 
that  very  night  "it  mercifully  came  to  pass  that  Captain  Andrew  Belcher  arrived 
at  Mr.  Smith's  with  a  vessel  laden  with  provisions  for  the  army  which  must  oth- 
erwise have  perished  for  want.'**  Whether  the  merciful  appearance  of  Captain 
Belcher's  vessel  was  caused  by  his  love  of  gain  or  by  patriotism,  let  whom  will 
decide.  His  success  in  life  was  pronounced  and  evidently  atoned  for  some  short- 
comings for  after  his  death  he  is  described  as  "a  man  of  integrity  and  honor,  a 
friend  to  religion  and  learning.*'*  He  certainly  was  an  illustrious  example  of  a 
"free  trader"  for  he  seems  to  have  traded  where  he  listed  without  fear  of  laws 
or  consequences.  His  son  Jonathan  wrote  a  letter  to  Mr.  Prince,  giving  an  es- 
timate of  his  father's  character  as  follows:  "Sir  *  *  *  What  you  desire  re-

J.  BELCHER. 

Burlington,  June  7,  1748.^ 

Why  Capt.  Belcher  should  have  desired  to  own  Meriden  Farm  we  cannot 
certainly  know.  It  is  probable  that  the  returns  from  the  farm  at  this  time  were 
considerable.  It  was  an  important  place  evidently  and  possibly  the  proceeds  from 
beavers  in  the  vicinity  were  considerable.  But  beyond  any  apparent  returns  from 
the  surface  there  was  always  the  alluring  possibility  of  hidden  wealth  in  the  ground. 
Our  Puritan  forefathers  were  always  chasing  a  will  o*  the  wisp  of  this  sort.  Many 
of  the  old  deeds  bear  witness  to  the  truth  of  this  statement  and  the  mountains  in 
the  vicinity  of  Meriden  seem  to  have  excited  the  expectation  that  some  day  the 
diligent  searcher  would  be  handsomely  rewarded.  On  the  hills  west  of  the  farm 
there  are  still  to  be  seen  places  where  excavations  were  made  in  the  hope  of  find- 
ing iron  or  copper  or  even  gold.   "Many  of  the  adventurers  to  North  America

were  strongly  possessed  with  an  idea  of  the  riches  of  North  as  well  as  of  South 
America.  They  conceived  that  its  mountains  and  hills  abounded  with  precious 
metals  and  minerals ;  and  that,  however  rich  the  soil  might  be,  yet  that  the  bowels 
of  the  earth  would  afford  them  much  greater  wealth.  Much  pains  were,  there- 
fore, bestowed  on  various  parts  of  the  country  to  discover  these  sources  of 
wealth."^  A  man  of  CapL  Belcher's  wealth  and  widely  extended  business  ven- 
tures could  not  have  spent  very  much  of  his  time  on  the  farm;  still  he  kept  in 
touch  with  its  needs  and  possibilities  and  he  certainly  expended  considerable  sums 
in  improvingf  the  property.  On  June  i8,  1700,  he  bought  of  the  widow,  Mary  Gil- 
bert her  interest  in  the  farm^  and  in  October,  1703,  the  Colonial  Court,  in  con- 
sideration of  the  "amount  of  money  Mr.  Belcher  hath  expended  in  improving 


the  land  and  building  tcnnantablc  houses  and  settling  tennants  therein  and  other 
improvements  which  are  like  to  be  a  publick  as  well  as  private  benetilt  the  said

doe  see  cause  to  grant  his  petition  and  doe  now  give  and  g^ant  unto  the  said  An- 
drew Belcher  all  the  said  four  hundred  and  sevcntic  acres"  he  had  bought  di  ihe 
Gilbert  hcirs^  and  the  following  May  gave  him  in  addition  the  land  from  the 
East  Side  of  the  farm  to  the  top  of  Lamentation  Mt.,  "consisting  of  steep  rocky 
hills  and  very  stoney  land,  judged  to  be  very  mean  and  of  little  value."*  Mr.  Bel- 
cher's farm  was  now  a  very  large  one  and  with  other  purchases  he  had  made  ad- 
joining, contained  about  twelve  hundred  acres  and  l»  now  called  it  "My  Meriden 
Manor."  It  is  probable  that  Capt.  Belcher  built  the  stone  house  that  made  the 
farm  noteworthy.  But  it  disappeared  many  years  ago,  no  one  knows  how  or 
when.  There  are  many  traditions  still  extant,  for  the  personality  of  the  Belchers 
impressed  itself  strongly  on  the  locality.  Of  the  wall  which  bounded  the  farm 
on  the  west  the  following  story  is  told  by  Mr.  Kendall  in  his  Travels  Through  the 
Northern  Parts  of  the  United  States  in  1807-8.^

EARLY  HISTORY. 


23 


When  Mr.  Belcher  owtwd  farm  "the  Indians  were  at  tiiis  time  tronble* 
some ;  and  mention  is  made  of  a  wall  built  by  Mr.  Belcher  as  if  for  purposes  of 
defence.  In  this  way,  however,  it  cotdd  be  of  no  use ;  for  it  was  of  more  than  a 
mile  in  ciraiit  and  formed  of  tnicemented  stones,  raised  only  four  feet  high,  like 
the  walls  at  present  common  in  the  country.  This  wall,  however,  had  some  ex- 
traordinary personages  amonj?  its  builders.  It  is  current  in  tradition,  tliat  four- 
te€»  or  fifteen  settlers  caiTie  into  Mr,  Belcher's  neighborhood,  from  the  town  of 
Farmington,  of  whom  the  whole  band  possessed  unusual  strength  and  stature. 
Two  were  of  the  name  of  Hart.  Of  these  one,  whose  son  at  the  age  of  seventy 
>ears  is  still  alive,  is  said  to  have  had  bones  so  large  that  an  Indian,  who.  with 
others,  was  passing  througli  the  settlement,  stopped  and  examined  him  with  sur- 
prij^c.    Mr.  Hart  and  his  fellow  giants  were  enip^tycd  by  ^T^.  P.elcher  on  his  wall." 

This  stone  ?kirtcd  the  then  load  to  Kensington  which  long  since  ceased 
to  be  used,  but  it  is  still  possible  to  trace  this  old  road,  once  the  usual  route  of 
ir,'i\cl  to  that  yiarisb.  If  one  starts  at  the  old  Way  place  now  owned  by  Mr.  I".  H. 
Higginson  and  ft)ll()ws  the  road  running  west  over  the  railroad  track,  within  per- 
haps a  f|i!art(  r  niiU-  a  point  is  reached  whe  re  the  road  turns  at  rii;ht  angle  and  runs 
south  to  Colony  street,  reacliing  it  just  below  the  old  Malleable  Iron  C'o.  factory, 
now  ownctl  1>\  The  Meriden  Fire  Amis  Co.  if,  nistead  of  turning  south  at  the 
right  angle  mentioned,  one  keeps  on  to  the  west  the  lane  is  soon  found  turning 
gradually  to  the  north  and  soon  one  has  the  ancient  Meriden  Farm  on  the  right. 
At  times  the  traces  of  this  ancient  highway  are  difficult  to  follow;  but  per- 
severance, afttr  a  while,  brings  one  to  win  re  it  is  again  a  well  traveled  road. 

There  wa:^  aiK'ther  road  to  Kensington  which  began  where  Kensington  avenue 
leaves  Colony  street  and  followed  the  present  line  of  the  aveniu'  a<  far  as  the 
present  trotting  park  (  there  was  then  no  road  through  Cat  Hole  Tab^j.  Here  it 
turned  toward  the  north  and  finally  clinilK'd  the  steep  sides  of  the  mountain,  com- 
ing ort  near  Botsford's  or  Corrigan's  comer.  All  that  is  now  left  of  this  road  is 
the  old  Bailey  road,  skirting  the  west  side  of  the  trotting  park.  There  was  a  road 
branching  from  it  which  jdned  the  one  already  described  as  bordering  Meriden 
Farm,  on  the  west.  Over  these  old  roads  now  neglected  and  almost  lost  to  sight 
in  a  tangle  of  briar  bog  and  forest  our  great  grandparents  plodded  their  way  on 
foot,  or  in  saddle  or  pillion  on  horseback  were  carried  over  these  weary  luiles  to 
Kensington  Parish  or  Farmington  Village.  The  southern  limits  of  Farmington 
at  this  time  were  bounded  by  the  laneway  just  south  of  Albert  Norton's  house  in 
Berlin,  so  that  none  of  Meriden  Farm  was  in  the  town  of  Farmington. 

For  some  years  after  the  colony  had  coniirmed  Capt.  Belcher's  title  to  the 
farm  and  enlarged  its  bounds  we  learn  nothing  to  add  to  our  annals.  It  is  proba- 
ble that  the  captain  frequently  visited  the  farm  and  gave  careful  attention  to  its 
needs  and  with  his  tenants  made  frequent  search  for  the  minerals  which  the  rocky

some  lime  in  tra\ cling  in  l-".ngland  and  on  the  continent  to  prepare  himself  for 
the  large  inheritance  liis  father  was  to  leave  him.  He  ha<l  an  honorable  reception 
at  the  Court  of  the  Elector  of  Hanover  and  that  of  St.  James  in  ICngland.  Re- 
turning home  he  followed  in  his  father's  steps  as  merchant,  representative  in  the 
General  Court  of  Massachusetts  and  member  of  the  Council.  In  person  he  was 
graceful  and  attractive ;  he  had  a  cheerful  countenance,  a  hearty  voice,  a  demon- 
strative gesticulation  and  an  habitually  affable  address ;  altogether  he  was  a  man 
of  society  and  of  the  world.^  An  heir  to  a  large  fortune,  he  had  been  accustomed 
to  dispense  it  in  ways  to  draw  attention  and  give  him  consequence.  His  acquaint- 
ance with  Connecticut  people  was  wide  and  in  1729  he  acted  as  agent  for  this 
colony  in  England.  While  there  he  threw  out  intimations  in  high  quarters  that 
the  view  he  once  held  regarding  the  king  s  prerogative  had  undergone  a  change.' 
Returning  he  was  appointed  royal  governor  of  Massachusetts,  which  position  he 
held  until  1741.  His  administration,  while  considered  by  some  a  fairly  good  one, 
has  been  accused  by  others  as  honeycombed  by  political  corruption.  He  had  the 
usual  troubles  with  the  colonial  court ;  and  his  character,  prone  to  small  resentments 
and  foolishly  irritable,  did  not  tend  to  smooth  matters.  He  was  not  troubled  like 
his  differently  constituted  and  differently  trained  predecessor  by  pride  and  obsti- 
nacy abouts  points  of  honor.   He  loved  intrigue  and  underhanded  methods.

The  ways  of  thinking  of  his  early  traininjj  kept  their  hold  on  his  exi)erience(l  iniiul. 
He  brought  into  politics  some  habits  of  trade.  W  hen  finally  removed  from  his 
position  in  1741  he  was  appointed  f:^overnor  of  Xew  Jersey,  where  he  jjoverned 
with  success  and  satisfaction  to  himself  and  the  people  for  sixteen  years.  The 
following  anecdote  illustrates  the  governor's  vanity  to  perfection.  He  lived  in 
grand  style  in  a  mansion  he  had  built  at  Milton.  Mass..  which  was  surrounded 
by  large  grounds,  modelled  on  the  style  of  an  luiglish  estate ;  and  he  had  many

servants  and  equipages.  In  laying  out  the  avenue  to  his  proposed  mansion  he 
told  his  architect  that  he  wished  it  execute<l  with  such  i)recision  "that  friends  and 
visitors  on  their  first  entrance  upon  the  avenue  might  see  the  gleaming  of  his 
gold  kneebuckles  as  he  stood  on  the  distant  piazza."  This  house  was  burned 
in  1776.  Governor  IJelcher.  as  .stated  before,  acquired  the  title  to  Meriden  Farm 
(  )ct.  22.  1707.  For  some  years  his  ownership  left  no  impress  on  our  records.  But 
he  doubtless  was  familiar  with  the  property  and  frequently  visited  it  for  his  ac- 
quaintance with  people  in  central  Connecticut  was  considerable.  He  kept  a  book 
in  which  were  j)reserved  drafts  of  all  his  letters  so  that  we  have  a  record  of  a 
great  deal  of  his  correspondence  which  has  been  printed  in  the  Massachusetts 
Historical  Society  collections.  It  has  already  been  stated  that  the  elder  IJelcher 
was  probably  induced  to  buy  Meriden  Farm  by  the  alluring  pros])ect  of  hidden

Stores  of  copper  and  other  minerals  in  the  rocky  sides  of  the  nearby  hills  and  had 
left  die  still  visible  traces  of  diligent  prospecting  at  difTerent  points.   But  in  1712 

there  appears  in  the  records  of  the  General  Court^  the  first  positive  evidence  that 
the  Belcher  family  had  at  last  discovered  sufticient  traces  of  this  hidden  wealth 
to  A  r  rrant  an  actual  investment  of  pounds,  shillings  and  pence  to  bring  it  forth 
to  the  light  of  day,  and  from  that  time  on  for  many  years  Jonathan  Belcher  and 
his  partners  poured  forth  a  steady  stream  of  good  colonial  money  in  the  vain 
endeavor  to  mine  copper  in  sufficient  quantities  to  make  the  investment  a  profitable 
one.  In  the  western  parts  of  Wallingford  and  in  Granby  the  mines  were  located 
and  miners  were  imported  from  Germany  and  other  places.  Not  only  was  Jon- 
athan Belcher  a  loser  in  these  ventures  but  the  craze  infected  all  classes  and  the 
records  of  Wallingford  abound  in  minins'  leases  to  men  and  women  in  Boston, 
New  York  and  Wallingford.  Some  were  niined  and  lost  their  all  in  this  mad  hunt 
for  wealth,  among  others  Adam  ^^'intll^lp,  a  threat -grandson  of  the  first  governor 
of  Massachusetts.  The  venture  w  as  an  untortimate  one  for  ( lovernor  Helcher.  and 
his  losses  were  very  larqe  for  the  operations  were  carried  on  for  many  years.  Rut 
this  is  i.f  it  the  plaee  to  tell  the  story  of  coi)pcr  mining  in  Connecticut.  Goverfior 
r»eiclier  nuist  have  spent  much  time  at  his  Meriden  i-'arm  during  the  copper  min- 
ing venture,  for  his  correspondence  hook  contains  manv  items  relating  to  pcr)y)lc 
m  this  part  of  Connecticut.  In  the  year  1720  he  plaeed  Eleazer  Aspinwall.  of 
rirookline.  Mass.,  in  charge  of  his  Meriden  Farm  and  thereafter  there  are  con- 
stant refcrenecs  to  this  farm.  Aspinwall.  d<)ul)tle.ss,  kept  up  the  tavern  or  iiin 
and  gaitied  what  income  he  could  from  the  soil  and  paid  a  rental  to  the  owner 
and  so  far  as  we  know  this  arra!iL;enirnt  was  satisfactory  to  Mr.  Belcher  and  the 
relation  between  landlord  and  tenant  was  harmonious  for  many  years.  But  in 
the  year  1731  Mr.  Belcher  was  appointed  royal  governor  of  Massachusetts  and 
naturally  his  interest  in  the  far  away  Connecticut  farm  began  to  wane.  To  add 
to  his  dissatisfaction  the  copper  mining  ventures  had  proved  anything  but  profita- 
ble. He  wrote  in  1735  that  during  about  twenty-three  years  he  had  disbursed 
upwards  of  fifteen  thousand  p'  unds  in  this  vain  quest.^  Added  to  this  Mr.  Aspin- 
wall had  become  dilatory  in  pay  ing  his  rent.  Altogether  the  governor  thought  it 
high  time  to  dispose  of  his  Meriden  Farm.  From  1731  to  1735  we  find  in  his 
draft  book  various  letters  to  Rev.  Etisha  Williams,  rector  of  Yale  college,  Rev. 
Samuel  Whittlesey  of  Wallingford,  Joseph  Pitkin  of  Hartford  and  Rev.  Ebenezer 
Williams  of  Pomfret.  All  these  letters  betray  great  anxiety  to  sell  Meriden 
Farm  and  the  last  one  of  the  scries  says,  "I  am  content  to  sell  my  Meriden  Fartne 
if  you  can  meet  a  chap  that  will  give  a  reasonable  price  and  pay  the  money  down 
when  I  execute  the  deed."   In  Oct.,  1732,  he  sent  his  son,  Andrew,  to  Connecti-

ut  to  look  after  his  interests  there  and  his  letters  to  Aspinwall  about  hi&  unpaid 
ent  became  quite  peremptory.  Whether  it  was  ever  paid  we  do  not  know,  but  the 
tisgust  of  the  governor  now  became  so  great  that  he  determined  to  get  rid  of 
be  farm  at  any  cost  and  the  only  victim  he  seems  to  have  been  able  to  find  was 
lis  son,  Andrew ;  perhaps  on  the  theory  that  adversity  is  a  good  teacher  and  that 
f  his  son  could  make  an  income  out  of  the  farm  he  would  acquire  a  talent  and 
genius  for  business  that  would  make  him  a  rival  to  his  grandfather,  (lovernor 
Belcher  during  his  ownership  had  spent  much  money  on  the  farm,  and  had  evi- 
lently  tried  to  make  it  an  attractive  "Manor."  The  pond  which  now  spreads 
)ver  seventy-five  acres  of  its  meadows,  due  to  the  dam  built  by  the  Hartford  Ice 
Zompany,  had  a  predecessor,  for  the  governor  durinpj  the  days  of  his  pride  in 
he  estate  had  also  built  one  about  three  hundred  feet  north  of  the  present 
)ne  and  the  remains  of  this  old  dam  now  shaded  by  lordly  old  oaks  and  hickories 
ire  very  easily  traced.'  On  a  recent  suimucr  day  the  writer  followed  the  brook 
IS  it  wanders  through  the  lueadows,  unirmurint,^  and  gurgling  as  it  dici  in  the  days 
>f  the  beavers  and  the  aristocratic  old  governor.  He  paused  at  the  gap  between 
ligh  banks  where  his  excellency  had  once  caused  the  dike  to  be  built,  and  he  sud- 
ienly  found  himself  confronted  by  four  genuine  knights  of  the  road.  Three  were 
'n<^t  aslcej)  on  the  grassy  bank,  their  dirty  and  ])eaceful  laces  shaded  by  the  sun- 
lecked  shadows  cast  by  a  sturdy  old  oak.  The  fourth,  wide  awake,  and  absorbed 
n  a  copy  of  the  New  York  Journal,  looked  up  and  asked  "looking  for  anything, 
.M^s."  "Yes,'"  was  the  answer,  "a  dam  that  used  to  lie  here."  "Well,  boss,"  said 
he  tramp,  "this  has  been  one  of  our  resting  places  for  fifteen  years  and  I  never 
-vcn  no  dam  here."  He  t)rovcd  to  be  a  philosophical  knight  tor  alter  a  short 
alk  lie  said,  '"purty  here,  isn  t  it.  and  handy  to  the  railroad?  I'm  better  (iff  than

>i  it  and  then  go  to  another  place  just  as  f)urty."  A  parting  glimpse  from  a  dis- 
.ance  showed  the  tramp  busy  hanging  a  can  of  water  over  a  fire,  preparing  a  re- 
Dast  of  one  knows  not  what  concoction.  We  have  followed  the  career  of  the  gov- 
ernor through  many  years  and  it  would  not  be  displaying  proper  respect  to  leave 
him  here.  A  few  brief  facts  will  be  added  to  this  sketch  and  then  we  will  say 
^ijod  bye  to  him  when  he  enters  "the  undiscovered  country  from  whose  bourne  no 
traveler  returns."  He  was  twice  married ;  first  to  Mary,  the  daughter  of  Gov- 
ernor Partridge,  of  New  Hampshire.  She  died  in  1736,  and  her  funeral  was  on 
so  magnificent  a  scale  that  the  streets  and  housetops  were  packed  with  sight- 
seers as  the  cortege  passed  through  the  streets  of  Boston.  His  second  wife  was 
a  Miss  Teal,  of  New  Jersey.  Of  his  children,  it  is  only  necessary  to  mention 
two— Andrew,  to  whom  Meriden  Farm  was  deeded,  and  Jonathan,  Jr.,  who  be*

in  particular,  did  not  aspire  to  the  rank  which  his  father's  ambition  had  niarki( 
out  for  him.  The  event  in  his  Hfc  which  is  most  intercstitis:^  to  ns  is  that  whci 
Bishop  Berkeley  sent  his  library  to  Yale  college  in  1733,  the  gift  was  consigmc 
to  Andrew  Belcher,^  The  governor  died  Aug.  31,  1757.  at  Elizabcthtown,  N.  J 
W'e  learn  from  the  I»oston  Xcws  Letter  of  Dec.  i,  1757,  "The  corpse  of  his  excel

happily  and  thoroughly  united  than  in  him."  Gov.  Hutchinson,  in  his  Histon

ing  by  estimation  670  acres,  being  that  jiart  of  Meriden  Farm,  so  called,  lying 
west  of  the  Country  Road  leading  from  Hartford  to  Xew  Haven."  To  this  day  much 
of  the  old  farm  still  remains  in  the  hands  of  the  Yale  and  Xorton  families.  On 
March  4.  1742,  Andrew  P.elcher  sold  to  Samuel  Peck,  Nathaniel  Edwards  and 
Zebulon  Ptvk.  all  of  Middletown  for  £19^5,  ''all  that  farm  of  land  called 
Meriden,  lying  eastward  of  Country  Road  and  containing  350  acres,  bounded

EARLV  HISTORY.

A  careful  study  of  the  Wallin^ford  records  has  convinced  htm  that  the 
mthcm  boundary  of  the  farm  extended  to  the  road  or  laneway  running  west 
loni  the  old  Eli  Way  place  on  North  Colony  road»  now  owned  by  Air.  E.  H. 
[igginson.  This  road  was  the  ancient  highway  to  Kensinj^on,  which  has  al- 
•ady  been  described.    It  is  fully  a  quarter  of  a  mile  south  of  what  the  writer 

previously  believed  to  be  the  southern  boundary  of  the  farm. 

From  Mrs.  Hiram  Riclinif^nd  (a  daughter  of  Selden  Merriam  and  grand- 
aughter  of  Sidney  Merriam  who  came  into  i)ossession  of  the  tavern  or  inn  and 
lany  acres  adjoining  about  the  year  1812)  has  been  fi^ained  the  fact,  that  in  1S33 
le  old  building  was  moved  to  tlu  rear  for  a  wood  slu  d  and  carriage  house,  and 
10  present  house  was  erected  on  the  ancient  site,  now  CKCUiMcd  by  Mr. 
lichaclis.  Refwocn  this  house  and  that  of  Mrs.  F.  H.  Vale  to  the  north,  stood 
iiat  Mrs.  Richmond  liad  sn])]'!occd  was  a  stom-  fdrl  which  disapi)rared  long  be- 
^re  the  Mcrriams  acquircl  the  i)r')])ertv.  'I'lic  reason  for  bel!e\  iii;^-^  tliis  building 
)  have  1)1  cii  a  fiirt  was  the  existence  <>f  subterranean  stf)ne  chambers  in  the  rear 
lat  \\  (  rc  called  powder  magazines,  which  were  filled  in  probably  fifty  years  since, 
his  uM  >tone  building  was  doubtless  erected  fur  purposes  of  defense  and  was 
?ally  a  lurt,  but  it  must  have  had  the  general  outlines  of  a  hun>e  for  (he  olcl  rec- 
rds  refer  to  the  old  building  as  "stone  house."  The  entries  relating  to  stone 
ouse  farm  are  many  and  are  always  usvi\  in  comuction  with  this  particular  part 
f  Mcridcn  ur  P.elclicr  i-arm.  Had  the  biiihling  been  in  shape  like  a  lort  the  rec- 
rds  would  have  called  it  stone  fort  farm. 

Xearly  sixty  years  ago,  the  late  Henry  S.  Wilcox,  then  a  Iwy  of  ten,  wrote  a 
3mi)osttion  on  the  early  history  of  Meriden.  There  was  no  history  of  the  town 
len  in  existence.  There  are  so  many  early  dates  and  facts  given  in  this  article 
lat  are  corroborated  by  recent  examination  of  the  early  records  that  there  is 
le  strongest  evidence  that  the  boy  got  his  data  from  some  one  who  knew  many 
lets  long  since  forgotten,  and  who  had  seen  the  old  stone  house.  From  thi& 
oy*5  composition,  we  learn  that  the  building  was  welt  constructed  to  withstand 
n  Indian  attack,  for  the  door  was  filled  so  full  of  spikes  that  a  bullet  could  not 
e  shot  through  it,  and  instead  of  windows  there  were  port  holes,  through  which 
ne  inside  could  use  his  rifle  with  deadly  effect. 

The  probable  explanation  of  this  stone  house  seems  to  the  writer  to  be  this: 
iz,  that  the  building  was  erected  during  the  troublous  times  of  1675  and  1676 
rhen  all  Xew  England  was  in  great  apprehension  on  account  of  the  war  of  ex- 
erniination  begun  by  the  Indians,  which  is  commonly  called  King  Philips  War. 
>Vallingford  was  so  alarmed  by  the  outlook  that  armed  guards  or  pickets  were 
•nstanUy  maintained  and  the  village  fortified.  W  hat  more  natural  than  that 
he  owner  or  fK-cupant  of  a  farm  improtected  and  alone  in  the  w  ilderness,  .shotdd

resort?  It  was  doubtless  built  hastily,  and  therefore  did  not  last  as  long  as  tli 
wooden  building  adjoining,  built  much  more  leisurely.  This  wooden  house  wa 
very  o!d  when  removctl  to  the  rear  and  has  long  since  disappeared ;  it  was  prol 
ably  the  building  erected  bv  ^T^.  Gilbert  when  the  farm  was  granted  to  him  t

Letter  from  Rev.  John  Davenport  of  New  Haven  Colony  to  John  Winthrop,  Jr.»i 

of  Connecticut  Colony. 

To  the  Right  Worshipful!  John  Winthrop,  Bsq^*,  Governour  of  Connectacute, 
these  present  at  Hartford 

Honoured  Sir — Scio  sapiunt  Phryges.-  If  I  had  as  wel  used  niy  Upmrna^  in 
preparing  a  letter  as  I  was  dtUigent  in  barkening  after  opportunities  for  transmit- 
ting it,  I  had  not  bene  thus  surprized,  bef  ore  I  had  begun  my  letter.  Brother 

Benham  just  now  tells  nic  that  liis  conii)anie  is  gone  before:  &  he  is  going  to 
Hartford.  I  blame  him  for  not  letting  me  know  last  night,  but  in  vaine ;  yet  I 
urge  his  stay  a  very  little,  that  I  may  write  these  few  lines,  while  he  is  buisied 
alK>ut  making  up  your  Curtaincs  which  had  bene  with  you  before  now  if  my  wife 
could  have  procured  him  or  John  Thomas  to  have  carri  ed  them.  I  hope  you 
will  now  receive  them  by  him.  Concerning  the  matter  of  the  Indians,  I  hope 
Mr.  Gilbert  hath  or  will  give  you  a  cleare  account.  If  the  Indians  you  are  pleased 
to  mention  should  revenge  themselves  upon  ours  they  will  greatly  wrong  the  in- 
nocent: for  our  Indians  had  no  hand  in  that  buisenes  nor  have  spoken  the  least 
w  ord  for  ought  I  can  learne,  to  animate  our  men  to  what  is  done.  And  that  which 
it  seemes  bro.  Yale  &  bro.  Cooper  have  spoken  to  your  Indians,  I  never  knew  nor 
heard  of  but  by  your  letter.  Nor  will  there  be  anythincf  done  by  any  of  ours  to 
hinder  }"Otir  Indians  in  thcyre  hiintincr.  But  for  the  i>iirrlin5e  it  was  made  above 
20  yeares  iiast.  without  any  seeking,  on  our  part  upon  an  offer  made  to  our  then 
Governour  &  Co.  It  was  of  Mantowceze  that  the  land  was  bouGflit,  whereby  N. 
H.  bound.^  extended  ncare  unto  the  Cold  Spring  beyond  Pilgrims  Harbour.  But 
of  these  things  if  you  desire  it  our  Governour  will  give  you  full  intelligence 
when  he  shall  be  able,  which  1  hope  will  be  shortly,  for  the  wrightings  of  that 
transacti<Mi  are  in  his  hands. 

My  selfe  wife  and  son  present  our  atlfectionatc  salutacions  to  yours.    I  rest 

Yours  exceedingly  obliged 

John  Davenporte 

New  Haven  the  30th  day  of  the  8th  m.  1660. 

This  letter  shows  that  New  Haven,  in  Mr.  Davcn[)ort*s  opinion,  had  bought 
of  the  Indians,  land  extending  north  of  Pilgrims'  Harbor  as  far  as  Cold  Spring. 

In  V^olume  I.  relating  to  colonial  lands  and  on  file  in  iho  office  of  the  secretary 
of  state  in  the  capitol  at  Hartford  is  a  deed  from  the  Indians  to  the  proprietors

and  inhabitants  of  Wallingford,  dated  May  24,  1681,  a  full  copy  uf  which  ap- 
pears in  Dr.  Davis'  llislory  of  WalHngford  and  Meriden,  p.  27.  Only  a  jxirtion 
of  this  decfl  is  here  l^mvcmi.  which  shnw?  that  an  Indian  deed  had  been  executed  in 
1645  extemiiiig  the  grant  of  1638  ten  miles  farther  to  the  north. 

Wheras  our  predecessors  Mantowesc  Sachem  in  the  year  i()38,  Dcceinl)cr  the 
eleventh,  hv  a  general  deed  of  grant  alienate<l.  enfeoUed  and  sold  a  tract  nt  !an<i 
to  Theophilus  Eaton  Esq*".,  Mr.  John  Davenpurte  minister  &  to  other  Kngli5.h 
planters  of  Quinijnog  alias  New  Haven  as  by  an  instnmient  at  larpfe  doth  ap- 
peare,  alsDc  by  a  second  (Irant  as  l)y  an  iuitrunient  dated  in  the  year  1643  in  the 
monetli  May  of  the  sayd  year  renewed  the  former  grant  and  tract  of  Land  to  run 
from  a  great  pond  in  New  Haven  east  meadow  twent>  miles  North  &  to  be  thir- 
teen miles  in  breadth  luist  &  West  which  sayd  tract  ut  land  was  made  over  unto 
Theuphilns  b',aton  Esi\^  Mr.  Stephen  (loodyear  &  Mr.  Thomas  Gregson  Gen- 
tillman,  o\  the  aloresayd  New  Haven"'  etc.,  etc. 

This  deed  of  1645  is  probably  not  now  in  existence  as  a  very  diligent  search 
has  failed  to  reveal  its  whereabouts.  The  i;reat  pond  in  New  Haven  East  ^fead- 
ow  is  of  course  Lake  Sahonstall  and  twenty  miles  north  from  the  "".crreat  pond" 
would  more  than  cover  the  statement  of  ]\ev.  jolm  I)aveni)ort  that  New  llawn 
had  purchased  of  the  Indians  land  extending  "  iieare  unto  the  Cold  Spring  be- 
yond Pilgrims'  Harbour." 

In  the  Connecticut  State  Library  in  the  Capitol  at  Hartford  are  {^reserved 
many  nianuscript  documents.  Among  these  archives  in  Vol.  IV.,  Document  66. 
of  "Towns  and  Lands,"  in  a  petition  dated  October  10,  1722,  and  signed  by  sev- 
eral of  the  inhabitants  of  Wallingford,  praying  to  the  general  court  for  relief 
in  a  certain  land  dispute  and  controversy,  occurs  this  passage :  "Humbly  Shew- 
eth  That  whereas  there  was  a  purchase  of  Land  obtained  by  y®  ancient  Proprie- 
tors of  New  Haven  in  year  1638 ;  of  one  Mantuese  an  Indian  Sachem  w***  pur- 
chase extended  northward  even  beyond  y*  northemiost  bound  of  y*  w**  is  now  y« 
Township  of  Wallingford;  and  IJvery  of  Seisin  was  made  to  Gentlemen  of 
New  Haven  b)  \ «  s**  Indian  Sachem  of  this  Tract  of  I.And  being  eight  miles  from 
N  haven  East  River  eastward  and  extending  into  y«  north  to  a  certain  tree  marked 
by     said  Indian  sachem  (w<^  tree  is  about  a  mile  north  of  Pilgrims  harbour.)" 

Pilgrims  Harbour  was  a  territory  of  considerable  extent  and  deeds  early  in  the 
i8th  century  locate  lands  fully  half  a  mile  north  of  where  South  Colony  St.  crosses 
Harbor  brook  (just  east  of  the  office  of  Lyon  &  Billard  Co.)  as  in  Pilgrims  Har- 
bor. If  the  territory  was  indicated  in  the  above  petition  rather  than  the  ford  or 
crossing,  then  New  Haven  s  purchase  of  the  Indians  must  have  extended  to  a 
point  a  little  distance  north  of  where  Colony  street  is  crossed  by  the  Meriden, 
Waterbury  and  Connecticut  River  railroad.

EARLY  HISTORY. 


39 


A  few  words  as  to  the  extent  of  the  territory  called  by  the  name  of  Mcriden. 
Mr.  Alfred  Andrews  in  his  Genealogy  and  Ecclesiastical  History  of  New  Britain^ 
says:  •'This  locality  at  the  the  'south  eastern  boundary  of  ffarmington*  called 
above  'Great  Swamp'  had  an  early  English  name,  which  seems  to  have  been  aban- 
doned for  this  of  'Great  Swamp/  viz,  Meridun,  Mertdan  or  Meridon»  a  name 
tnially  given  1725  to  the  present  town  of  Meriden  to  take  the  place  of  'Pilgrims 
Harbor.'  But  to  settle  the  <|uestion  of  the  old  name  to  this  locality  I  quote  from 
a  deed  of  Captain  Daniel  Clark,  of  Windsor,  to  Jonathan  Gilbert,  dated  22  April. 
1672,  of  300  acres  of  land  (forty  of  which  was  to  be  meadow,  by  j^rant  of  the 
colony  to  S**  Clark)  lyin^,  sit\iate,  and  laid  out  at  a  place  called  Moridan  where 
Jonathan  Gilbert's  fann  is  &  iKjinided  partly  on  the  Mattabesick  River  where  it 
may  be  allowed  of  the  town  of  Farmington"  "This  deed  is  in  possession  of  the 
( iilbert  family  living  1867  on  the  same  farm  said  above  to  be  owned  by  Jonathan 
Gilbert  previous  to  1644"  (1664). 

Now  this  farm  stated  to  be  still  in  possession  of  the  (  iilbert  family  is  about 
one  mile  northeast  of  the  railn)ad  station  in  Berlin  on  what  is  known  as  Christian 
Lane.  The  very  ancient  brick  house  is  still  in  existence,  built  probably  by  Kben- 
ezer,  son  of  Jonathan  Gilbert,  The  first  church  of  Creat  Swamp  parish  was  lo- 
cated several  hundred  feet  south  of  it  and  this  whole  locality  was  known  as  Great 
Swamp  parish.  It  is  fully  four  miles  north  of  Jonathan  (Gilbert's  "Meriden 
Farm**  as  we  know  it.  Had  he  been  in  possession  of  these  two  farms  and  the 
land  between  he  would  have  owned  several  thousand  acres  iti  the  vicinity  when 
be  died  in  1682.  The  best  judjje  of  what  he  owned  was  Mr,  Gilbert  himself.  In 
liis  will,  dated  1674.  he  says,  "T  ijive  to  my  son  Nathaniel!  Gilbert  my  farme  at 
.Meritlen  with  all  the  houses  and  land  thereto  bclongiuj^:,  I  give  to  my  son  Kben- 
ezer  Gilbert  Si  his  heires  forever  all  tlial  tlircc  hundred  acres  of  land  I  bought 
of  Capt,  Daniel  Clark  in  I'annini^^  mi  I'.nwnds  with  all  priviledj^es  thereunto  be- 
loriL^ini,'  &  also  that  purchase  of  land  \  Ixnii^ht  of  .Messaccup.  conMUonh'  caUcd 
&:  known  bv  name  of  Pagon  ChaumischauL:."-  Tn  the  inventory  du-  Mrriden 
Fann  is  valued  al  £110  and  I'agon  Challmi^c■llauu;  at  £120,  This  sIhjw  s  tliat 
Mr.  Gilbert  owned  two  distinct  and  separate  larms— one  at  or  called  Al(>ri<l>ii. 
and  the  other  on  Christian  Lane  in  Berlin  where  stands  the  brirk  house  built 
by  Ebenezer  Gilbert  and  called  by  the  Itiflian  name.  Mr.  .\ndixu>.  was  misled  bv 
the  fact  that  Daniel  C  lark  was  crnivvun^  two  .separate  tracts  of  land  in  the  same 
deed,  into  believing  thai  ImjiIi  tracts  were  one  and  bore  the  name  of  Meriden, 
and  the  nu>t,ike  was  a  very  natural  one. 

That  X\\<<  separate  and  distinct  tracts  were  j^ranted  to  IXinirl  Clark  is  proved 
by  the  following  extracts  from  the  Colonial  Kecords  of  Connecticut.    On  .March

of  400  acres  of  land  upon  forementioned  tertnes  whereof  80  acres  of  meadow 
w*^^  is  to  be  divided  between  them  and  if  it  can  not  be  found  together  they  have 
liberty  to  seek  it  out  severally."  On  Oct  12,.  1665,  "The  secretary  hath  granted 
unto  him  an  augmentation  to  his  former  grant  to  y®  sum  of  one  hundred  acres 
of  upland  and  he  hath  liberty  to  take  it  up  for  his  meadow  the  remainder 
of  the  meadow  that  i?  not  taken  up  at  Jonathan  Gilbert's  farme  if  it  be  there  to 
be  had  with  an  hundred  acres  of  upland  adjoyeningf  and  the  rest  to  make  up  his 
former  grant  at  some  place  upon  Mattabeseck  River  where  he  can  find  it  free 
from  tho«e  limitations  inserted  in  his  former  grant."  What  ]\Ir.  Clark  did  was 
to  take  up  ijo  acres  adjoining  Mr.  Gilhcrt's  Mcridcn  Farm  and  the  balance  else- 
where. This  is  i)ruved  by  FarniinL;tnn  land  rcmrds  Vol.  I,  page  50,  where  it 
n-ads  as  follows:  ''Land  in  Farininqton  IxlonfjiuL;  to  Mr.  Jonathan  Gilbert  & 
to  his  heires  forever  in  y«  iuri>diclion  01  Conccticut  and  county  of  Hartford, 
viz.  one  p'scll  \\  hi(  li  lu  bought  of  Captin  Daniell  Clark  Lying  and  being  a':>out 
Cold  spritig  in  y«  roade  from  \Velhcr5ticId  to  Xew  Haven  containing  sixe  '  • 
acres  butiinof  p'tly  on  Mr.  Gilbords  owne  land  given  him  by  y®  country  and  p  lly 
on  coinon  land  to  y®  south,  to  y*'  east  nearc  to  the  roade  aforesaid  &  to  y*^  west 
and  the  north  on  comon  land.  " 

**One  p'sell  more  contayning  nighne*  score  acres  which  was  allso  bouj^ht  of 
Captin  Danicll  Clarke  lying  &  being  about  the  branches  of  Metabesit  River  butting 
to  y®  north  p'tty  on  comon  land  &  p'tty  on  p'ticuler  lots.  To  south  on  p'ticuler 
mens  lots  and  to  west  on  p*ticuler  lots  now  belonging  to  farmingtowne  &  to  y* 
east  on  comon  land  belonging  to  Farmingto>vne." 

That  these  tracts  were  not  contiguous  is  proved  by  the  boundaries. 

To  put  it  in  modern  English^Mr.  Gilbert  bought  of  Sec'y  Clark  120  acres 
which  adjoined  his  Meriden  farm  near  Cold  Spring  and  180  acres  on  the  branches 
of  the  Mattabesitt  River— a  separate  and  distinct  tract — ^making  300  acres  in  all, 
and  all  conveyed  in  the  one  deed  which  Mr.  Andrews  said  was  in  the  possession 
of  the  Gilbert  family  living  in  Christian  Lane  in  1867.^  This  shows  how  the  con- 
fusion or  error  arose  of  thinking  that  the  name  of  Meriden  was  used  to  describe 
the  territory  aftem'ards  called  the  Great  Swamp,  The  words  Cold  Spring  iden- 
tify the  locality  of  the  first  or  120  acres  for  that  name  was  used  some  time  before 
the  recorded  use  of  Meriden  to  describe  the  territory  within  two  or  three  miles 
of  our  famous  sprinc  rn  ar  the  poorhouse.  In  the  deed  quoted  by  Mr. 
Andrews  the  quantity  rf  land  conveyed  was  mentioned  as  300  acres:  On 
the  Farmington  records  it  is  given  as  "sixe  score  acres"  and  "nighne 
score  acres";  exactly  the  same  amount.   The  writer  has  deemed  it  wise

to  jjivc  this  explanation  because  it  cannot  be  other  than  an  error  to  say 
that  "Meriden"'  ever  went  wandering  away  up  into  Berlin.  The  error  is 
repeated  in  the  Memorial  History  of  Hartford  G^unty,*  and  Mr.  Camp  in  his 
interesting:  work,  the  History  of  New  Britain,^  says  what  is  equivalent  to  the 
same  thing.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  Capt.  Belcher  did  not  buy  Meriden  Farm  of 
Mr.  Gilbert,  but  of  the  Gilbert  heirs  on  Sept.  6,  1686,  when  they  sold  him  "Meri- 
den Farme  bdng  partly  or  all  neere  the  comon  roadway  between  Wetherslield 
and  Wallingford,  estimated  at  550  acres/'  The  deed  is  recorded  in  "Colony  Rec- 
ords and  Deeds*'  in  Secretary  of  State's  office.  Curiously  enough,  the  120  acres 
adjoining,  bought  by  Sec'y  Clark  went  to  Ebenezer  Gilbert  with  Pagon  Chaumis- 
chaug  and  was  sold  to  Capt.  Belcher  on  June  18,  1700,  by  Ebenezer  as  "6  score 
acrcf.  being  about  the  Cold  Spring  bounded  partly  on  Belchers  farm  &  commons 
Gi*  V'juth.  east  neare  the  Road  west  &  north  on  commons."  In  the  Connecticut 
Colonial  Records^  this  distinction  of  the  grants  to  Sec'y  Clark  being  in  two  sep- 
arate pbces  is  specifically  mentioned  as  "three  hundred  acres  of  land  for  the  same 
*>  be  taken  up  partly*  upon  the  branches  of  Mattabesttt  River  and  partly 
upon  the  road  from  Wethersfield  to  New  Haven  at  or  neare  a  place  called  Cold 
Spring  on  the  west  side  of  a  ridge  of  mountainous  land  comonly  called  or  known 
by  the  name  of  the  Lamentation  Hills."  Although  it  is  not  distinctly  stated,  it 
is  probable  that  the  i8d  acres  or  ''nighne"  score  acres  adjoined  the  land  called 
Pagon  Chaumischaug  bought  by  Mr.  Gilbert  of  Messacup,  lying  in  Christian 
'Lane  in  the  Great  Swamp  parish. 

Jonathan  Gilbert^  in  the  record  just  quoted,  is  also  said  to  have  acquired  the 
"native  (Indian)  right  of  the  land  adjoining  his  470  acres,  amounting  in  the 
whole  to  one  thousand  acres."  This  must  have  been  land  cast  of  the  470  acres 
and  east  of  Colon\-  road,  for  when  Andrew  Belcher  was  granted  the  land  from  the 
cast  side  of  the  farm  to  the  top  of  Lamentation  Mountain  in  1703,  it  is  stated 
as  280  acres  only,  whereas  the  land  from  the  east  side  of  Colony  road  to  the  top 
of  mountain  would  liavc  been  considerably  more  than  280  acres.  Lastly  when 
the  farm  was  sold  by  Andrew  Belcher.  Jr..  in  1741-2,  he  conveyed  670  acres  to  Yale 
&'  \orton  Sz  350  acre?  to  Peck.  Edwards  &  Peck,  and  the  whole  deed  is  of  land  in 
Wallingford  bounds  and  is  only  recorded  on  Wallingford  land  records.

A   CENTURV   OP  ilRRlDEN. 


CHAPTER  IV. 

The  or^in  of  the  name  of  Mcriileii  has  for  years  been  a  subject  of  more  or 
less  interest  to  many  of  the  residents  of  this  town,  and  several  theories  have  been 

advanced  as  to  the  derivation  of  the  word. 

One  hypothesis  iir^ed,  and  wliicli  sconis  to  be  accepted  as  satisfactory  by  many, 
is  that  the  old  tavern  or  inn  situated  in  that  part  of  the  town  which  first  bore  the 
name  was  a  ]ilacc  of  so  much  carousing  and  merriment  that  the  house  soon  be- 
entile  known  as  the  " Alerry-den,"  hence  Mcriden.  This  attempt  to  ex]i!atn  the 
name  reminds  one  of  the  effort  of  the  school  lx)y  to  translate  the  first  three  w*>rds 
of  Virpfil's  Aeneid,  "Arma  vinimque  cano,"  by  the  astounding  rendering"  "M'ui 
witii  a  (1i>l:  in  his  arms."  The  boy  was  able  to  advance  the  argument  that  'Anna"' 
nuan^  ■  arnis,"  "virum"  is  a  man.  and  "cano"  is  much  like  "canis,"  a  dog.  The 
advocates  of  this  theory  also  thow  ignorance  of  the  character  ut  our  first  Con- 
necticut settlers.  A  very  grave  and  austere  peo])lc  they  were,  and  had  they  lor 
one  moment  suspected  that  a  house  of  enteriainmenl  of  such  repute  was  within 
their  l)or(lers.  they  would  have  considered  it  as  the  headquarters  of  the  Devil, 
and  would  liavc  proceeded  tu  demolish  the  house  and  drive  the  proprietor  out  of 
the  ct)loiiy. 

Again,  it  has  been  suggested  that  the  name  is  a  corruption  of  the  word  "Mer- 
idian." Some  time  ago  one  of  our  local  papers  printed  an  extract  from  Bradley's 
Register  fur  the  year  1847,  reading  as  follows: 

"Its  name  (Merideu)  is  ])robably  a  corruption  of  the  word  Met  isiiau,  the  town- 
ship being  ecjuidislaut  from  the  two  semi-capitals,  Hartford  antl  Xew  Haven— 
from  Hartford  seventeen  miles  and  from  New  Haven  seventeen  miles." 

That  meridian  means  "equidistant"  is  probably  news  to  all  our  readers.  As 
every  one  knows,  meridian  is  an  astronomical  or  geographical  term;  but  when 
used  in  a  non-technicat  sense  it  indicates  culmination.  Moreover^  the  farm  to 
which  the  name  was  first  applied  is  not  equidistant  from  Hartford  and  New  Ha* 
vcn;  it  is  about  sixteen  miles  from  the  fonner  city  and  twenty  miles  from  the 
latter.  This  farm,  now  sometimes  called  the  Belcher  Farm,  was  granted  to  Jon« 
athan  Gilbert,  of  Hartford,  Aug.  28,  1661,  and  a  full  account  of  it  has  been  given 
in  a  previous  chapter.    See  pages  15-16. 

Just  when  the  name  of  Meriden  was  applied  to  the  locality,  we  do  not  know. 
The  first  recorded  use  of  the  name  was  in  a  deed  of  land  to  Edward  Higfaey, 
dated  Oct.  F4th,  1664,  which  has  already  been  given  in  a  previous  chapter.  It

is  a  well  known  fact  that  almost  every  township  name  in  New  England  was  taken 
from  England.  Names  of  rivers,  lakes,  and  mountains  are  frequently  Indian  in 
their  origin;  but  the  names  of  settlements  seldom  have  but  one  derivation,  and 
that  is  the  mother  country  of  the  colonists.   Cotton  Mather  says : 

"For  as  there  are  few  of  our  towns  but  what  have  tlieir  names  sake  in  Eng- 
land, so  the  reason  why  most  of  our  towns  are  called  what  they  are  is  because 
tVic  chief  of  tlie  first  inliabitants  would  thus  bear  up  the  names  of  the  particular 
places  there  from  whence  they  canie."^ 

Danbury,  Norwich,  Hartford,  Windsor,  Wallingford,  Miltord.  Stratford,  Dur- 
ham, and  a  host  of  others  arc  all  familiar  names  on  the  map  of  Jilngland,  Mcri- 
tlen  also  appears  on  the  map  ci  i  .ngland.  In  the  "History  of  Wallingford,  A^er- 
iden  and  Cheshire  -  it  is  stated: 

"There  cannot  be  a  shadow  of  a  doubt  but  that  Mr.  Belcher  ^^xc  the  name, 
and  tliat  it  was  taken  from  Meriden,  Warwickshire  Co.,  England.  In  the  parish 
church  at  Meriden  in  England  are  deposited  the  remains  of  the  Belcher  family 
for  nian\  generations,  llic  resemblance  of  the  valley  in  which  our  town  is  sit- 
uated, with  the  stone  house  or  inn,  with  the  town  in  England  and  otiier  associa- 
tions douhtless  suggested  to  him  tlie  propriety  of  giving  the  name  to  his  tract." 

Dr.  Perkins,  in  his  Historical  Sketches,  also  suggests  the  same  derivation. 
And,  indeed,  the  inference  was  a  natural  one,  and  without  any  other  facts  to  guide 
one  it  would  be  reasonable  to  conclude  that  the  matter  was  settled  and  that  Meri- 
den was  surely  called  after  the  village  of  the  same  nnine  in  Warwickshire,  England. 

UntV)rtunately,  however,  the  theory  will  not  stand  when  a  careful  investiga- 
tion is  made.  In  the  first  place,  Mr.  Belcher  did  not  name  the  farm.  At  the  time 
-f  the  first  recorded  use  of  ihe  name,  viz.  1664,  he  was  a  lH»y,  living  in  Cambridge, 
^iass.,  and  it  was  not  until  1670.  at  the  age  of  22,  that  he  married  Mr.  Gilbert's 
daughter,  Sarah,  and  not  until  1682  or  aft-^r  the  death  of  Mr.  Gilbert  did  he  ac- 
quire an  interest  in  Meriden  P'arm.  Moreover,  the  Belcher  family  in  question 
did  not  come  from  Meriden  in  \\  arw  ickshire.  The  home  of  the  family  previous 
to  emigration  was  in  London  and  Danhnry.  I'.ssex  comity.'^ 

The  writer  has  made  a  careful  search  in  the  parish  register  of  Meriden  in 
Warwickshire  ami  not  a  name  can  ])v  found  iti  it  similar  to  that  of  any  one  of  our 
early  settler'  and  there  is  not  a  iKleluT  huritd  in  the  parish  church;  and  there  is 
no  top<:>i::rapliical  similarity  bitween  onr  Meriden  and  the  one  in  Warwickshire 
lor  the  viilar'e  over  the  water  lies  in  a  tiat  valley  about  half  a  mile  wide  with  gently 
sloping  bills  aroimd.  It  is  embraced  in  the  territory  of  the  forest  of  Arden,  fa- 
mous as  one  of  the  haunts  of  Robin  Hood.

A   CENTURY   OF  MERIDEN. 


A  few  years  ago,  while  reading  a  book  called  "England,  Picturesque  and  De- 
scriptive," by  Joel  Cook,  the  following  singular  paragraph  was  noticed.  The 
Parish  Churth  Raster  of  Dorking,  Surrey  Co.,  among  other  curious  entries, 
records  the  christening  in  1562  of  a  child,  whose  fate  is  stated  in  these  words: 

"Who,  scoffing  at  thunder,  standing  under  a  beech  was  stroke  to  death,  his 
clothes  stinking  with  a  sulphurous  stench^  being  about  the  age  of  twenty  \  ears 
or  thereabouts,  at  Mereden  House." 

Naturally,  it  was  at  once  concluded  that  there  must  be  a  locality  near  Dorking 
called  "Mereden."  A  resort  to  the  maps  failed  to  show  such  a  place,  but  later 
a  careful  examination  of  a  section  of  the  ordinance  survey  of  Surrey  Co.,  Eng- 
land, with  the  aid  of  a  strong  reading  glass,  revealed  a  place  about  three  miles 
south  of  Dorking,  called  Meriden  Farm.  The  coincidence  was  striking.  Here 
was  the  very  name  by  which  Mr.  Gilbert*s  farm  was  known  two  hundred  and 
thirty  years  ago.  This  English  farm  is  in  the  civil  parish  of  Dorking,  and  lies 
in  a  valley  of  the  same  name ;  it  is  not  a  village.  It  was  some  time  before  any 
definite  information  could  be  gained.  A  search  through  tiie  pages  of  Manning 
&  Bray*s  History  of  Surrey  furnished  the  following  meagre  facts. 

'*In  the  Borough  and  Maner(sic)  of  Westcote  is  a  vale  called  Mereden,  com- 
mencing between  Cold  Harbour  and  Boar  Hills,  in  which  is  a  Farm  of  the  same 
name  belonging  to  Abbotts  Hospital  in  Guildford  and  in  a  wood  or  coppice  belong- 
ing to  this  Farm  is  a  spring  called  Meg*s  Well,  the  water  of  which  is  of  great 
beauty  and  uncommon  coldness." 

The  writer,  when  in  London  a  few  years  ago,  easily  persuaded  himself  that 
it  was  a  duty  that  he  owed  to  his  native  town  to  go  down  to  Dorking  and  see  what 
sort  of  a  place  Meriden  Farm  was.  He  had  previously  corresponded  with  a  Mr. 
Alfred  Mitchell,  in  whose  charge  was  the  care  of  this  farm,  and  so  on  a  beautiful 
day  in  spring,  when  the  hawthorn  hedges  were  bursting  into  leaf  and  the  tender 
green  of  the  English  meadows  was  suffused  with  sunlight  and  bathed  in  a  gentle 
haze,  duty  and  inclination,  assisted  by  the  railway  train,  soon  carried  him  over  the 
twenty  miles  that  separates  Dorking  and  London,  and  placed  him  in  the  care  of 
Mr.  Mitchell,  The  farm  is  a  part  of  the  large  estate  of  Mr.  Robert  Barclay,  a 
wealthy  London  brewer,  and  Mr.  Mitchell,  his  father  and  grandfather  have  been 
faithful  stewards  of  the  property  of  the  Barclay  family  during  nearly  a  hundred 
years;  and  singularly  enough  his  aunt,  Mrs.  Arrowsmith  (since  deceased)  was 
an  inmate  of  the  Curtis  Home  in  Meriden,  Connecticut,  and  was  bom  on  Mr. 
Barclay's  estate.  This  fact  and  his  natural  courtesy  led  Mr.  Mitchell  to  do  every- 
thing in  his  power  to  assist  to  a  thorough  acc|itaintancc  with  Meriden  Farm,  and 
a  tramp  over  the  hills  and  through  the  vale  to  Cold  Harbor  just  below,  gave  one  a 
fair  knowledge  of  the  lay  of  the  land  and  the  appearance  f^f  the  country.  The 
topography  is  very  similar  to  the  valley  in  which  lies  our  Meriden  Farm,  only  it

is  on  a  smaller  scale,  and  the  hilb  are  not  so  grand  and  rugged  as  Lamentation  Mt 
and  Hanging  Hills,  This  valley  in  England  is  called  by  many  the  most  beauti- 
ful in  Surrey  Co.  It  lies  between  panUd  ranges  of  hills  running  north  and 
south,  that  on  the  west  rising  gradually  to  an  elevation  of  nearly  one  thousand 
feet.  From  its  sununit  can  be  had  a  view  over  a  beautiful  country  extending  to 
the  sea  twenty  miles  away.  It  is  called  Leith  Hill.  There  are  two  stone  cottages 
in  the  valley  which  is  well  wooded  and  now  used  as  a  game  preserve.  A  mile  to 
the  south  beyond  Leith  Hill  lies  the  hamlet  of  Cold  Harbor.  Less  than  a  mile  to 
the  north  lies  Wotton  House»  a  fine  old  estate  once  the  home  of  John  Evelyn,  the 
celebrated  botanist  and  diarist  of  the  reign  of  Charles  II.  Here  he  passed  many 
years  of  his  life  and  one  of  his  favorite  walks  was  through  Menden  Farm  to  the 
top  of  Leith  Hill.  The  estate  is  still  in  possession  of  the  Evelyn  family.  Near 
the  entrance  to  the  vale  as  one  comes  from  Dorking  is  a  small  el^nt  mansion 
once  the  property  of  Daniel  Malthus,  and  here  was  bom  and  lived  Thomas  Robert 
Malthus,  the  scientific  expounder  of  the  principals  of  population,  and  freqitently 
called  Population  Malthus.  In  the  woods  on.  the  side  of  the  hill  is  a  spring  that 
is  celebrated  the  country  round  on  account  of  the  great  coldness  of  the  water. 
It  is  called  M^'s  well,  but  this  is  a  comparatively  recent  name  as  time  is  G0unte«l 
in  England;  a  century  and  a  half  ago  it  was  one  of  the  haunts  of  a  witch-likc 
creature  and  many  curious  l^ends  are  told  of  the  woman  until  like  Norna  in 
Scott's  Pirate  the  character  of  Meg  is  more  mythical  than  real.  The  Vale  of 
Meriden  in  Dorking  cannot  boast  of  a  single  historical  event.  During  all  the 
centuries  it  has  rested  in  peaceful  loveliness;  for  a  long  time  the  farm  was  in 
the  possession  of  Abbott's  Hospital  in  Guildford,  not  many  miles  away,  an  endow- 
ment gift  from  Archbishq)  Abbott,  who  founded  the  institution.  But  about  five 
years  ago  it  was  bought  by  Mr.  Barclay  whose  estate  quite  surrounded  it.  Dork- 
ing itself  has  had  nearly  as  quiet  an  existence  as  the  Farm  of  Meriden  and  we 
should  hardly  know  of  it  were  it  not  for  the  peculiar  breed  of  poultry  with  five 
claws  which  originated  here,  and  that  Dickens  chose  it  as  the  scene  of  some  of 
the  adventures  of  the  immortal  Weller  family.  Here  was  located  the  "Markis  of 
Granby"  where  Mr.  Weller,  Sr.,  lived  and  smoked  his  pipe  and  practiced  patience, 
while  the  "Shepherd"  imbibed  hot  pineapple  rum  and  water  until  Tony  Weller 
could  stand  if  no  longer  and  the  Rev.  Stiggins  was  ignominously  kicked  out  and 
(lucked  in  the  horse  trough  in  front  of  the  inn ;  and  here  the  father  imparted  to 
Samivel  the  oracular  information  that  "Vidth  and  Visdom  alvays  grows  topfc  tlu  r.'* 
About  three  miles  beyond  Cold  Harbor  lies  the  parish  of  Ockley.  The  Rev.  Henry 
Whitfield,  who  with  his  flock  settled  the  town  of  Guilford,  Conn.,  was  from  1618 
tn  1638  rector  of  this  |>nri^li.  He  was,  of  course,  a  clergyman  of  tlu-  Church  of 
England  at  that  time,  but  he  had  pronounced  Puritan  sNmpathies  that  finally  in- 
duced him  to  leave  the  church  and  join  the  great  Puritan  migration  across  the

ocean.  During  his  ministry  in  Ckkle}  his  home  was  a  place  of  refuge  for  non- 
conformists in  their  trials  and  tribulations.  The  Rev.  John  Davenport  of  New 
Haven,  the  Kev.  Thomas  Hooker,  of  Hartford,  and  others  frequently  found 
refuge  in  his  rectory,^  and  two  of  Mr.  Whitfield's  parishioners  in  Ockley  came 
with  him  to  Guilford,  Conn.,  and  many  of  his  flock  in  this  country  were  from 
Surrey  Co.,  England.  With  the  many  striking  resemblances  between  Meriden 
Farm,  lying  between  Lamentation  Mt.  and  Hanging  Hills,  and  Meriden  Farm  in 
Surrey  Co.,  England,  does  it  take  very  much  imagination  to  believe  that  some  one 
of  these  men  saw  the  likeness  and  gave  the  name  to  our  farm?  Both  farms  lie  in 
pronounced  valleys.  In  both  cases  the  name  was  that  of  a  farm  and  not  of  a  town ; 
each  valley  has  a  spring  of  uncommon  coldness ;  each  valley  is  screened  by  a  lofty 
hill  whence  may  be  had  a  glimpse  of  the  sea  about  twenty  miles  away.  Another 
point  of  resemblance  is  that  each  has  at  the  entrance  to  the  valley  a  harbor.  Ours 
is  called  Pilgrims'  Harbor ;  the  one  in  Surrey  Co,  is  called  Cold  Harbor.  Now  it 
is  a  sing^ular  fact  that  these  names  are  interchangeable.  They  both  mean  the 
same  thing.  The  Century  Dictionary  gives  the  definition  of  Cold  Harbor  as  "a 
protection  at  a  wayside  for  travelers  who  arc  benighted  or  benumbed  with  cold." 
The  term  is  not  an  imcommon  one  in  England.  Now  as  to  the  origin  of  the  name 
of  our  Pilgrim  Harbor,  one  thing  is  absolutely  sure  and  certain — it  was  not  so 
called  because  the  regicides  or  judges  of  King  Charles  T.  found  protection  and 
>lulter  on  the  banks  of  our  stream  when  pursued  by  the  king's  officers.  The 
letter  from  John  Davenport  to  (lovernor  Wiiithrop  dated  30th  day  of  8th  month. 
i^Tio,  and  printed  on  page  37  of  this  iKJok,  proves  Hiis  conclusively,  for  at  that 
date  the  regicides  had  not  left  I'nston  and  did  not  cnmc  tn  Connecticut  until  the 
follow  iiii;  sjiriiiL:.-  Moreover  it  will  be  observed  that  the  name  of  Pilgrims  Har- 
bor was  well  known  at  the  date  of  this  letter.  Tt  was  written  to  a  man  in  Hart- 
ford by  a  \ew  TIavcii  man  and  there  is  no  aitenipl  10  explain  its  location,  so  that 
the  name  nnisl  bavc  lieen  in  use  for  some  lime.  Dr.  Ezra  Stiles,  president  <'t

f^>r  the  preservation  or  birth  of  ihis  tradition-  ami  it  is  one  of  those  stories  that 
will  never  die  no  mailer  bow  often  it  is  shown  to  be  entirely  nn«^npported  hy  fact•^.

HISTORY.

Mr.  Meriain'  aet  say  35  lives  at  the  Bridge — intelligent — tells  the  common  story 
— 2  pilgrims — bi:t  nothg  of  Regicides — rather  persons  travellg  fr.  X.  H.  to  Hart- 
fd'.*'  The  next  year  (1794.)  Dr.  Stiles'  History  of  the  Thrtc  Judges  was  pub- 
lished and  so  notwithstanding  the  information  he  had  picked  up  in  Meriden  and 
Hartford^  he  started  this  stor>'  about  the  Regicides  and  Pilgrhns  Harbor  Brook — 
a  story  that  will  always  have  perennial  youth  and  like  the  brook  will  go  on  for* 
ever.  Dr.  Stiles  tdts  the  story  in  this  way:  ''there  is  a  tradition  of  their  mak- 
ing a  lodgment  at  Pilgrims  Harbor,  so  called  from  them,  being  twenty  miles  from 
N'ew  Haven  at  a  place  since  called  Meriden,  half  way  between  New  Haven  and 
Hartford.*'  The  Rev.  Mr.  Perkins,  in  his  Historical  Sketches,  repeats  the  story 
but  Dr.  Davis  in  his  History  of  Wallingford  shows  that  there  can  be  no  truth 
to  the  tradition.  Now  note  the  similarity  of  the  meaning  of  Cold  Harbor  as  given 
in  the  Century  Dictionary  and  that  of  Pilgrims  Harbor  as  found  existing  in  Mer- 
iden over  a  hundred  years  ago  and  stated  in  Dr.  Stiles'  dtar>'.  They  both  mean 
a  refuge  for  travelers  by  the  wayside — not  an  inn  or  a  tavern,  but  simply  a  sheU 
ter.  There  must  have  been  other  places  of  like  character  in  Connecticut  during 
those  days  of  sparsely  settled  country,  but  to  one  only  was  the  name  of  Pilgrims 
Harbor  given.  So  is  it  not  fair  for  the  sake  of  argument  to  admit  that  the  nam- 
ing  of  Pilgrims  Harbor  was,  like  the  naming  of  Hartford  or  Windsor-— a  calling 
of  localities  by  the  old  names  of  the  mother  country,  and  that  the  original  form  was 
Cold  Harbor  but  that  it  was  changed  to  Pilgrims  Harbor  to  avoid  confusion  with 
Cold  Spring  only  a  couple  of  miles  away? 

From  a  topographical  point  of  view  there  are  again  striking  coincidences. 
Cold  Harbor,  in  Surrey  Co.,  lies  not  far  from  the  entrance  to  the  vale  in  which  is 
nestled  Meriden  Farm.  Pilgrims  Harbor  here  is  not  far  from  the  entrance  to  the 
valley  in  which  lies  our  Meriden  Farm.  Back  of  Cold  Harbor  in  Surrey  Co.  to 
the  northwcist  is  an  escarpment  or  steep  hill  very  like  the  sudden  rise  to  the  north- 
west that  one  would  observe  standing  at  the  corner  of  Colony  and  Main  streets 
if  the  Meriden  House  and  other  buildings  did  not  hide  the  view  of  the  elevation 
crowned  by  Prospect  and  Mt.  Pleasant  streets  and  Washington  Heights.  Two 
or  three  miles  to  the  west  we  see  the  heights  of  West  Peak  range ;  a  mile  or  two 
to  the  west  of  Cold  Harbor  is  the  elevation  known  as  Leith  Hill.  Besides  these 
remarkable  coincidences  of  names  and  topc^raphy  we  have  learned  that  a  num- 
^  er  of  people  in  this  colony  had  lived  or  visited  near  Cold  Harbor  and  Meriden 
I  arm  in  Surrey  Co.  To  the  names  of  Thomas  Hooker.  John  Davenport  and 
1  lenry  Whitfield,  wc  may  perhaps  add  the  name  of  Edward  Higbce,  whose  Indian 
<leed.  printed  or.  pages  17-18  of  this  book,  contains  the  first  recorded  use  of  the 
word  Meriden  in  this  colony.   The  records  of  the  parish  church  in  Dorking  show

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


that  in  1602  a  John  Highey  was  livii^  near  that  town.  Savage,  in  his  genealogi- 
cal dictionary,  suggests  that  Edward  Higbee  was  the  son  of  a  John  Higbee.  Of 
course  this  docs  not  prove  that  the  two  men  named  John  Higbee  were  one  and  the 
same  person,  but  in  this  first  recorded  use  of  the  word,  Meriden,  it  is  spelled  Mer- 
ideen,  which  denotes  an  intimate  acquaintance  with  the  correct  and  early  si>eU- 
ing,  as  will  be  seen  later,  at  a  time  when  others  in  the  colony  were  writing  it  Mer- 
idin,  Meridan  and  even  Meridon.  It  is  very  likely  that  this  Indian  deed  was 
drawn  up  by  Higbee.  Mr.  Gilbert  in  his  will  dated  1676,  written  by  himself» 
wrote  the  word  Meridin — that  is  he  spelled  it  as  he  thought  it  was  pronounced. 
Mr.  Gilbert  was  not  from  Surrey  Co.  in  all  probability.  With  so  many  individuals 
in  this  colony  who  were  acquainted  with  this  particular  locality  in  Surrey  Co.  it 
is  not  difficult  to  believe  that  the  resemblance  to  be  seen  in  Connecticut  on  the 
highway  between  Hartford  and  New  TTavcn  was  sooner  or  later  recognized. 

\ecessarily  the  question  is  incapal)le  of  an  al)?;olnte  solution.  But  th'-  coin- 
cidences in  natnes  and  topography  is  remarkable  and  one  may  surely  be  par- 
doned for  believing  or  trying^  to  believe  that  our  Meriden  Farm  took  its  name  from 
Meriden  Farm,  Surrey  Co.,  I-Lni^land.  It  is  a  curious  fact  that  tlie  country  folk 
who  live  around  our  Fne^lish  namesake,  display  the  same  tendency  to  explain 
the  origin  of  the  name  by  its  evident  sound  as  tlieir  Yankee  cousins  in  Connecticut. 
The  story  g-oes  that  200  or  300  years  ago  there  was  a  cave  in  the  vicinity  where 
smugglers  were  in  the  habit  of  resorting  with  their  ill  t^otteu  guods  to  make  a 
fair  division  and  to  celebrate  tbeir  exploits  by  a  carousal  and  hilarious  merry- 
making— hence  Merry-den.  When  Mr.  Barclay  bought  the  farm  he  acquired  the 
old  deeds  that  went  with  the  property  and  the  earliest  one  was  dated  in  the  twelfth 
century,  over  seven  hundred  years  ago  and  the  form  of  the  name  was  then  Mer- 
rideen. 

And  now  it  is  time  to  ask  the  (jucstion.  What  does  *Meriden*  mean?  What 
is  the  derivation  of  the  word?   Will  etymology  teach  us  tts  primitive  signification? 

The  naming  of  towns  and  localities  in  England  was  an  entirely  different  pro- 
cess from  that  employed  in  New  England.  Here,  the  forefathers  borrowed  the 
names  of  Indians,  or  else  they  endeavored  to  quiet  the  longings  of  their  home- 
sick hearts  by  using  the  words  made  familiar  to  them  in  the  Mother  Country. 
In  England,  however,  names  of  places  were  not  borrowed ;  they  were  indigenous, 
and  grew  up  with  the  people,  so  to  speak.  In  every  case  a  name  embodies  some 
local  peculiarity  of  physical  aspect,  or  perpetuates  some  historical  fact.  DeQuincy 
says*  "they  are  not  inventions  of  any  active  faculty,  but  were  passive  depositions 
from  a  real  impression  upon  the  mind."  Dean  Trench  has  written  of  words  as 
"fossil  poetry'*  and  "fossil  history,"  and  the  comparison  is  fitting.  Almost  ever>' 
town  name  in  England  illustrates  this  simile ;  thus,  Boston,  in  Lincolnshire,  was

anciently  ••liotulfeston/'  or  "Botulphs  town,"  preserving:  the  fact  that  a  monastery 
was  built  by  him  in  654,  around  which  a  town  grew  up ;  Oxford  was  "Oxenford," 
and  was  just  what  the  name  implies;  Windsor,  centuries  ago  was  "Windelsora," 
frcm  early  English  "Windcl,"  to  wind  and  '*ora,"  a  shore.— that  is,  a  winding 
shore,  referring  to  the  course  of  the  Thames  at  thnt  point ;  Rochester  was  ages 
air^  "Hrote,"  a  man's  name,  and  "ceaster,"  a  fortified  place, — i.  e.,  "Hrofeceastcr" ; 
VVallingford.  one  rif  tlu  most  ancient  towns  in  England,  on  the  Thames  a  little 
below  Oxtor.l.  was  by  the  Britons  called  "Guallhen,"  that  is  "Old  Fort;"  the  Sax- 
ons added  "ford"  to  it  on  account  of  the  crossing  of  the  Thames  at  that  place*  and 
it  became  "Guallhcnfordc."  that  is,  the  Crossing  by  the  Old  Fort  ;  but  the  curious 
lingTjal  inclination  of  tlie  Saxons  to  change  a  **g"  of  a  Romance  tongue  to  a  **w" 
(as  perhaps  best  illustrated  in  the  French  "Guillaume"  which  became  ''William"  in 
the  Saxon  mruith).  corrupted  the  word  to  "Wallengaforde,"  which  easily  bcciine 
the  modern  \\  .illingford.'    And  the  illustrations  might  be  extended  indefinitely. 
^     The  word  "Meriden"  is  no  exception  to  this  general  rule,  and  from  it  may 
be  extracted  a  little  fossil  poetry.    The  prefix,  Meri,  Merri  or  Mere  is  imdouhtedly 
a  corruption  of  Mt  rry  or  Merrie,    The  definition  of  "Merry"  as  used  to-day  is 
sportive,  playful,  or  mirtlu'iil,  but  its  early  meaning  was  decidedly  different.  Per- 
haps the  host  illusiration  of  tlic  distinction  will  be  found  in  the  following  examples: 
In  the  J'snhcr  of  tlic  I'ook  of  CVunmon  Prayt-r  (  wliich  is  the  .same  as  the  Book 
of  Psalms  in  the  Great  Hible  of  Henry  \Til.,  published  about  I54l)>  the  second 
verse  of  the  Sist  Psalm  reads  as  follows: 

"Take  the  psalm,  bring  hitlvr  the  tabret,  the  merry  harj)  with  the  lute"; 
but  in  the  Bible  of  1611,  commonly  known  as  the  King  James  Version,  the  same 
verse  is  as  follows : 

"Take  a  psalm  and  bring  hither  the  timbrel,  the  pleasant  harp  with  the  psaltry," 
Dnring  the  time  between  the  two  translations,  the  character  of  "merry"  has  changed 
ami  no  l<)nL,^cr  means  "pleasant.*' 

iVnother  example ;  an  early  English  song  runs  thus : 

**Aferry  sung  the  monks  within  Ely 
That  Cnute  King  rowed  thereby ; 
Row  Knights  near  the  land 
And  hear  we  these  monks'  song" 

A  Latin  translation  of  this  sojig  made  at  about  the  sante  date  renders  "Merry" 
as  "dulce."  and  the  modern  translation  of  Mulee  "  is  umjuestionably  "sweetly." 
In  1528  Sir  Thomas  More  wrote  his  wile  as  follows: 

"I  pray  you  be  with  my  children  and  your  household  merry  in  God."    He  un- 
doubtedly wished  her  to  understand  him  as  bidding  her  be  cheerful.    .\o  one

would  for  an  instant  think  he  wished  her  to  be  sportive  or  gay  or  mirtlilul  in  Ck)d. 

It  is  difficult  to  realize  to  how  great  an  extent  our  language  has  changed  dur- 
ing the  last  four  or  five  centuries.  Had  a  man  of  the  time  of  Chaucer  been 
asked  to  describe  a  sweet  and  amiable  girl,  he  would  doubtless  have  spoken  of  her 
as  a  '"Merry  Wench/'  What  self-respecting  young  inatd  of  to-day  would  submit 
to  such  a  classification?  Illustrations  might  be  added  indefinitely,  but  enough 
have  been  employed  to  demonstrate  that  the  early  meaning  of  ''Merry''  or  "Merrie" 
was  cheerful,  sweet  or  pleasant. 

The  suffix  "den"  is  very  common  in  Surrey,  and,  indeed,  in  all  parts  of  £ng« 
land.  Not  far  from  the  Vale  of  Meriden  are  Oakdeane,  Morden  and  Cotmanden. 
A  beautiful  country  seat  near  Dorking  was  called,  in  the  time  of  John  Evelyn,  Dip- 
den,  but  the  present  proprietor  has  revived  the  ancient  form  of  the  name,  and  it 
is  now  Deepdene.  The  place  is  appropriately  named,  for  it  is  surrounded  by  an 
amphitheatre  of  hills.  This  suffix  "den"  was  anciently  dene,  or  dean,  and  was  the 
early  English  term  for  valley,  or  vale. 

With  the.  information  we  now  have,  what  does  Meriden  mean?  "Meri"  pleas- 
ant, "den"  vale  or  valley ;  that  is.  Pleasant  Valley. 

There  were,  or  are,  several  places  of  this  same  name  in  England.  In  the  time 
of  Edward  I.,  i.  e.  the  13th  century,  there  was  a  village  in  Shropshire  called 
"Meryden."^  Camden,  in  his  "liritannia"  written  in  the  i6th  century,  mentions 
a  village  called  "Merival,"  north  of  Coventry.  The  same  book  speaks  of  "Meri- 
field"  as  a  "delightful  meadow."  There  is  to-day  a  "Merrivale"  in  Devonshire. 
Sir  Wm.  Dnp:<^'il<^.  >"  his  Anti(]uities  of  Warwickshire,  states  that  Meriden,  near 
Coventry,  is  derived  from  Mire-dene,  meaning  a  muddy  valley.  Even  that  fonn 
would  not  prove  his  definition  correct,  for  one  of  the  early  forms  of  "merrie" 
was  "mirie"  or  "myrie."  We  know,  however,  that  etymology  in  the  17th  century 
was  anything  but  a  science,  an<l  we  find  that  long  l>eforc  his  book  was  written 
the  place  was  recorded  as  "Mcryden."  and  every  one  who  has  visited  the  place 
describes  it  as  a  pleasant  valley.-  Human  nature  is  always  the  same,  and  we  still 
find  evidences  of  this  desire  to  describe  one's  residence  as  attractive.  \  crniont. 
Connecticut,  New  York.  New  jersey,  Pennsylvania,  and  many  other  states,  each 
has  its  Pleasant  X'alley  which  may  he  found  on  the  map.  Did  we  still  use  the 
primitive  language  of  onr  remntr  forefathers,  these  places  would  all  he  Meridens 
or  Merivals.  We  have  learneil  th.it  "Meriden  is  the  loveliest  vale  in  Snrrev 
and  Surrey  is  one  of  the  fairest  ui  all  the  counties  of  England,  full  of  picturesijue 
hills  and  dales.  Have  we  not,  then,  extracted  the  fossil  poetry  from  "Meriden/* 
and  may  we  not  safelv  conclude  that  it  means  Pleasant  Valley?

It  may  be  urged  that  after  all  it  is  not  a  nmttcr  of  great  iiionicnt  that  we 
should  know  the  orig-in  of  the  name  of  Alericleii.  The  writer  as  gracefully  as 
possible  acknowledges  the  force  of  the  criticism.  The  only  apology  he  has  to  of- 
fer for  the  .jrreat  length  to  which  this  chapter  has  grown  is  that  he  is  a  son  of  the 
soil,  and  anything  that  relates  to  the  early  history  of  Meriden  appeals  to  a  particu-

A  CENTURY  OF  MESIDEN. 


CHAPTER  V. 

The  sror\  of  Meridcn  I'anii  lias  now  been  told  and  its  romantic  chapter  is 
closed,  for  liic  last  of  the  Uclchers  lias  shaken  its  dust  from  his  feet  and  hence- 
forth its  annals  deal  only  with  the  qniet  and  uneventful  life  ot  laniiHes  C(.)nipelled 
to  get  their  livin^^  from  its  soil  hy  the  sweat  of  their  brows  and  an  unremitting 
stnigg^le  with  the  rugged  conditions  of  rural  life  in  New  England  during  the 
eighteenth  century.  To  go  back  in  imagination  to  those  days  of  simple  living 
when  nature  wax  almost  man's  master.  in>tead  of  servant;  to  picture  to  ourselves 
the  isulaiiun  of  lite,  the  lack  of  conmuniication  with  the  outside  world,  the  dearth 
of  incident  except  the  grinding  ceaseless  toil  rctiuired  to  subdue  a  couiury  of  un- 
limited forests  and  unknown  possibilities,  require  a  power  that  no  one  possesses 
except  in  a  limited  degree.  , 

Life  could  not  have  been  attractive  Iruni  our  point  of  view.  There  were  few 
amusements  and  scarcely  any  inventions  to  add  to  the  comforts  of  life,  and  the 
grinding  toil  and  struggle  with  a  barren  soil  amid  rocky  hills  left  little  chance  to 
cultivate  the  amenities  of  social  intercourse. 

"The  machinery-  of  production  showed  no  radical  difference  from  that  famil> 
iar  to  ages  long  past.  The  Saxon  families  of  the  eighth  century  enjoyed  most 
of  the  comforts  known  to  Saxon  families  of  the  eighteenth  century."^  , 

Life  under  such  conditions  is,  to  us  of  the  twentieth  century,  almost  incon- 
ceivable. But  the  result,  however,  was  a  race  of  men  and  women  of  rugged 
constitution,  and  indomitable  will;  this  combination  influenced  by  the  religious 
training  and  belief  to  which  they  were  accustomed  produced  a  condition  of  life 
with  which  we  are  utterly  out  of  sympathy.  They  cannot  have  been  an  agreeable 
people  and  many  doubtless  would  be  ready  to  subscribe  to  the  sentiment  'Xet  us 
thank  God  for  having  given  us  such  ancestors;  and  let  each  successive  genera- 
tion thank  Him  not  less  fervently  for  being  one  step  from  them  in  the  march  of 
ages." 

The  conditions  for  telling  the  story  of  Meriden  are  not  the  most  felicitous, 
for  imtil  1806,  this  territory  was  only  a  suburb  to  Wallingford,  second  even  to 
Cheshire,  which  was  made  a  separate  township  in  1780,  twenty-six  years  earlier 
than  our  successful  attempt  to  go  without  leading  strings. 

It  is  not  proposed  to  tell  the  story  of  Wallingford  except  so  far  as  may  be  ab« 
solutely  essential  to  the  prefer  understanding  of  events  in  the.  parish  of  Meriden.

The  colony  of  New  Haven  was  absorbed  by  that  of  Connecticut  in  1665, 
and,  ahhough  the  attempt  was  made  to  heal  the  wounded  sensibilities  of  the  peo- 
ple by  making  New  Haven  twin  capital  with  Hartford,  the  result  was  received 
by  many  of  the  inhabitants  with  disgust,  and  good  John  Davenport  left  the  town 
m  sorrow  and  took  up  his  residence  in  Boston.  , 

By  1669  many  of  the  first  settlers  of  New  Haven  were  dead  and  a  new  gen- 
eration had  grown  up.  In  that  year  began  the  movement  which  resulted  in  the 
settlement  of  Wallingford,  and  in  1670  the  foundations  had  been  laid  and  a  new 
town  had  been  bom  in  the  colony.  , 

At  a  court  of  election  held  at  Hartford  May  lath,  1670,  the  following  vote 
was  passed:  "This  court  haveing  been  moved  to  state  the  bownds  of  the  New  Vil- 
lage that  is  settled  upon  the  playne  as  you  goe  to  New  Haven,  doe  grant  that  their 
bownds  shall  com  from  the  Brook  at  the  south  end  of  the  great  playne  to  the 
northward  tenn  miles;  and  from  the  said  [Brook]  sowthward  to  Brandford 
bownds,  and  on  each  side  the  river  five  miles ;  that  is  five  miles  on  the  east  side 
and  five  miles  on  the  west  side  the  river,  provided  that  the  sayd  village  be  car- 
ryed  on  and  made  a  plantation  w^^out  any  relation  or  subordination  to  any  other 
towne  and  provided  the  bownds  hereby  granted  to  the  sayd  village  doe  not  preju* 
dice  any  bownds  formerly  granted  to  any  plantation  or  perticuler  person,  or  doe 
not  extend  to  the  north  any  further  then  wh[ere]  the  old  road  to  New  Haven 
goeth  over  Pilgrimes  Harbour.  The  Court  orders  that  the  plantation  on  the  playne 
in  the  Road  to  New  Haven,  be  called  Wallingford." 

Thus  at  the  very  birth  of  Wallingford  the  old  limitation  of  the  northern 
boundary  by  the  Pilgrims'  Harbor  ford  comes  up ;  the  same  limitation  which  had 
been  a  bone  of  contention  between  New  Haven  and  Connecticut  Colonies  ten 
years  previously.  It  is  difficult  to  understand  why  Wallingford  should  not  have 
been  allowed  to  extend  its  bounds  up  to  those  of  Farmington  for  this  limitation 
left  a  territory  three  miles  wide,  which  was  not  a  part  of  any  township. ,

ford are  as  follows :

All  these  men  with  the  exception  of  Thomas  Curtis,  Thomas  Beach  and  Ben- 
jamin Lewis  (who  were  from  Stratford)  were  residents  of  New  Haven.  This 
shows  what  a  distinctively  New  Haven  movement  was  the  settlement  of  Wal- 
lingford  and  possibly  indicates  why  the  court  of  election  inserted  in  the  vote  of 
May  I2th,  the  precautionary  clause  "provided  that  the  sayd  village  be  carryed  on 
and  made  a  plantation  w'^'^out  any  relation  or  subordination  to  any  other  towne,** 
and  explains  why  it  was  first  proposed  to  call  the  new  settlement  New  Haven 
villa.c:c. 

But  when,  in  tlie  same  year,  the  house  lots  were  assigned,  the  names  of  sev- 
eral in  the  previous  list  are  missing  and  the  record  of  assignment  reads  as  fol-

A   CENTURY   OF  MERIDEN. 


broiigfht  to  Mr.  Joseph  P.  Bcacli.  of  Cheshire,  by  Elihu  Yale,  in  1852,  to  he  trans- 
ferred to  stone  and  lithographed.  Conseqnently  the  handwriting  is  Mr.  Beacli'-. 
The  two  names,  Jo.  Lines  and  John  Lines  should  have  been  Jo.  Eives  and  John 
Eives.  The  middle  name  of  Mr.  Beach  is  Perkins,  under  which  name  he  \vri> 
then  running  his  lithog^raphing  establishment  in  New  York  City.  The  orig^inal 
map  has  disappeared  from  the  office  of  the  town  clerk  in  Wallingiord.  James 
Eaton,  Daniel  Sherman  and  David  Tultle  did  not  finally  join  the  plantation,  their 
lots  being  taketi  bv  John  Beach,  Elisaph  Preston  and  Eleazer  Holt  respective]) . 
Mr.  Beach  thinks  lIic  words  "Old  Colony  road."  "long  highway."'  "cross  highway 
the  first  laid  out,"  "common  fields,"  ''wilderness"  and  "planting  tield,"  etc.,  were 
on  the  original  map,  but  to  the  writer  this  seems  <l(>nl)tful. 

So  the  town  began  w  ith  all  the  planters  settled  in  a  compact  little  village  with 
home  lots  of  six  acres  each,  arranged  on  a  street  at  the  top  of  the  hill — the  pres- 
ent Main  street.  At  the  south  end  were  grouped  the  elderly  men.  while  at  the 
northern  end  were  yc)ung  men,  several  nut  then  married.  W  e  can  imagine  what 
a  busy  community  it  nuist  have  been  for  some  time:  the  building  of  houses,  the 
laying  out  ut  streets,  the  clearing  away  of  forests,  the  breaking  of  virgin  soil 
under  the  plow,  must  have  kept  every  member  of  the  lillle  town  thoroughly  oc- 
cupied. Material  of  all  kinds  and  household  furniture  and  supplies  were  large- 
ly brought  from  New  Haven  in  boats,  for  at  this  period  the  Quinnipiac  river  con- 
tained much  more  water  than  at  present,  as  we  will  learn  by  subsequent  records. 

The  first  houses  built  were  probably  of  very  rude  construction  for  none  of  this 
period  have  survived  the  destructive  hand  of  time,  while  a  number  built  fifty 
years  later  are  still  in  very  good  condition  and  seem  capable  of  lasting  many 
years. 

The  town  government  having  been  organized,  the  home  lots  assigned  and 
the  houses  built,  the  next  question  to  engage  the  attention  of  the  people  was  the 
distribution  and  division  of  lands  for  farms.  The  whole  community  was  agri- 
cultural in  its  pursuits  and  the  only  source  of  wealth  was  the  produce  of  the 
farms.  The  rank  of  a  man  in  the  distributions  was  proportioned  on  what  he 
was  able  to  pay  in  taxes,  and  divisions  were  made  in  lots  or  multiples  of  four,  six 
and  eight  acres.  Naturally,  the  older  men  were  able  to  pay  larger  rates  than  the 
younger,  and  generally  it  will  be  found  that  those  who  received  the  largest  al- 
lotments of  land  were  the  elder  men  of  the  town.  These  divisions  of  land  re- 
mind one  of  the  methods  of  a  modern  business  corporation  in  distributing  its 
surplus  earnings  among  its  stockholders.  After  the  first  division  which  assig^ned 
lands  on  the  banks  of  New  Haven  East  (now  Quinnipiac)  river,  the  planters 
seem  to  have  been  privileged  to  take  up  their  allotments  of  land  where  they 
pleased  providing  they  did  not  conflict  with  any  previous  grants  or  reservations : 
and  the  rights  seem  to  have  been  inherited  by  descendants  of  the  first  planters  in

addition  to  those  they  held  as  living  inhabitants  or  land  owners :  so  that  frequently 
these  inherited  rights  were  sold  to  newcomers  by  those  who  had  removed  from 
the  town.  In  other  words,  the  original  corporation  of  the  town  was  kept  alive 
by  inheritance  until  all  the  vacant  or  unoccupied  lands  had  been  distributed,  and 
a  separate  ledger  or  "original  proprietors*  book*'  was  kept  which  gave  a  strict 
account  of  all  such  transactions.  But  no  land  owner  was  allowed  to  sell  his 
land  or  future  rights  to  a  stranger  f  ntil  the  character  of  the  new  comer  had  been 
thoroughly  looked  Into  and  approved  in  town  meeting.  A  man  had  the  right  to 
join  the  higher  grade  and  receive  a  larger  allotment  of  land  by  expressing  his 
willingness  to  pay  a  bigger  tax.  On  May  22,  1678,  it  was  voted  in  town  meet- 
ing that  "a  man  of  lower  rank  may  take  a  higher  rank  by  payinj?  rates  accord- 
ini,^^'  for  the  future,  viz. :  20  shillings  a  >ear  for  7  years  provided  they  decide 
before  next  town  meeting  which  if  they  do  not  'then  ye  town  will  looke  att  them- 
selves att  liberty  whether  they  will  grant  it  or  not'."  The  rate  of  taxes  paid  by 
those  of  the  highest  were  double  those  of  the  lowest  rank  and  one-third  more  than 
those  of  the  middle  rank  and  divisions  of  lands  were  based  on  these  proportions. 
Frequently  assignments  of  lands  were  made  to  persons  who  had  in<  »\  cd  to  other 
towns,  because  they  were  descendants  of  the  "ancient"  or  first  planters.  Some- 
times lands  were  granted  to  particular  individuals  for  meritorious  service;  as, 
for  instance,  service  in  wars ;  in  other  words,  a  pension.  This  was  a  cheap  way 
to  confer  a  gift  that  cost  the  giver  little,  and  yet  was  of  value  to  the  recipient. 
Allotments  were  made  to  the  minister  simply  because  he  was  the  minister.  This 
added  considerable  to  his  income  beyond  what  he  received  amnially  frotri  liis  flock. 
This  methcKl  of  flivi'ling  lands  seems  to  have  been  ,i,a'neral  througiiout  the  colony 
of  Connecticut.     1  he  following;;  vote  is  illnminatiniL:  and  interesting: 

"At  a  town  metting  in  Wallingford  lebruary  y®  12  1712  X'oatcd  in  town

Tlie  orc:anization  of  the  "Ancient  Proprietors"  was  kept  alive  luiiil  the  year 
1803  when  it  formally  released  to  the  town  ail  inicrest,  right  and  title  to  the  un-

divided  lands,  and  then  ceased  to  exist.  The  date  was  April  25.  Probably  aU 
the  land  had  been,  by  that  time,  distributed. 

'"Race  suicide"  was  not  popular  in  those  days  in  Wallingford,  or  elsewhere, 
and  the  record  of  vital  statistics  teem  with  the  entries  of  births  and  marriages, 
and  a  family  with  ten  children  was  only  moderately  large.  Naturally  the  ques- 
tion of  farms  for  the  support  of  the  present  and  the  coming  generations  was  onr 
to  engage  the  attention  of  the  town,  and  the  allotments  of  lands  soon  began  to 
be  taken  up  in  what  is  now  Meriden ;  and  Cheshire  also,  for  at  that  time,  Wal- 
lingford  bounds  stretched  not  only  as  far  north  as  where  Colon}'  street  crosses 
Harbor  Brook  but  extended  away  over  into  Prospect  on  the  west,  so  that  more 
than  the  whole  of  modern  Cheshire  was  included  in  the  township. 

The  first  entry  on  the  town  records  that  refers  to  the  territory  of  Meriden  is 
a  vote  passed  at  a  town  meeting  held  Sept.  10,  1677,  reading  as  follows :  **That 
every  planter  now  in  seizin  shall  have  according  to  their  ranks  4  acres,  3  acres. 
2  acres,  of  the  choice  land  upon  the  river  hopp  ground  land  beginning  at  Pil- 
grims Ilarkmr  and  what  that  place  doth  not  afford  they  are  to  please  themselves 
elscwheare/'  On  Nov.  17,  1679,  the  record  rcSids  "Town  grant  to  Nath^  Roycc, 
David  Hall,  Thomas  Hall,  Daniel  Mix  and  Joseph  Holt  each  3  acres  of  land  ly- 
ing on  east  side  of  meadow  called  Dogs  Misery  by  the  southward  branch  of  Pil- 
grims Harbor  brook."  At  a  meeting  held  Nov.  24,  1679,  it  was  "granted  to 
Nehemiah  Royce,  Isaac  Curtis  each  3  acres  and  Nathaniel  How  and  Isaac  Royce 
each  2  acres  and  all  at  dogs  misery." 

Tho  r|uestion  arises,  where  is  Dogs'  Misery?  It  is  in  the  extreme  eastern  part 
of  .Meriden,  south  of  the  Middletown  road  and  half  a  mile  west  of  Black  Pond 
In  going  north  on  Paddock  Ave.,  after  passing  the  home  of  Rollin  S.  Ives,  one 
comes  to  a  road  turning  to  the  right  and  running  northeast.^  This  grass-^rowii 
road  is  still  called  Misery  Bar  road  and  runs  through  the  very  heart  of  Doi:>' 
Misery,  a  swamp  even  to  this  day,  almost  impenetrable  with  its  growth  of  alders, 
briars,  brambles,  and  trees.  Perhaps  not  so  swampy  as  it  once  was,  but  still  aa 
extremely  unpleasant  |)hice  for  a  woodland  walk.  The  southern  branch  of  Vi- 
grims'  Harbor  brook  flowing  north  from  h'oster's  pond  passes  through  tliis 
swanii>.  Tlie  eastern  branch  flows  from  Black  pond  and  joins  the  southern 
branch  at  Baldwin'?  pond.  There  is  a  tradition  that  when  the  country  was  fivri 
explored  this  swamp  was  under  water  because  of  the  dains  that  had  been  btu.i 
by  the  beavers.  I  he  story  goes  that  alter  the  beavers  were  all  killed  the  dat-  n 
were  destroyed  and  the  territory  then  became  a  hideous  swamp,  and  a  rrfuc' 
for  wild  animals  when  pursued  by  men  and  dogs.  Xo  furtlur  explanation  <  ! 
the  reason  for  the  name  is  needed.  Black  pontl  was  also  a  famous  place  fur 
beavers.    Mr.  Erwin  Beardsley,  who  lives  in  the  old  Crocker  place  on  the  Mid-*

man,  to  work  on  the  shore  of  the  pond  and  found  in  the  black  nnick  many  short 
logs  or  heavy  sticks  still  preserving  the  niark>  of  the  teeth  of  the  beavers.  Mr. 
Perkins  also  speaks  of  the  beaver-gnawed  logs  in  his  Historical  Sketches.^  As 
already  noted  the  whole  territory  of  Meriden  was  famous  for  its  game  and  was 
used  by  the  Indians  as  a  hunting  ground.  Many  localities  still  preserve  names 
indicative  of  this  fact.  Thus  we  have  Cat  Hole,  in  the  northwestt  r!!  part  of  the 
town;  Cat  Swamp,  south  of  the  junction  of  Charles  street  and  Parker  avenue; 
Deer  Hill, now  called  Meeting  House  or  Buckwheat  Hill ; Beaver  Dam  Brook,  flow- 
ing south  from  the  swamp  north  of  the  state  fair  prnunds  and  also  draining  the 
swanip  north  of  Kensington  avenue  and  west  of  the  railroad  track ;  this  swamp 
was  once  known  as  Wolf  Swamp.  Beaver  Dam  Brook  is  now  usually  called  Sodom 
and  runs  under  the  W'aterbury  railroad  bridge  on  West  Main  street.  Then  there 
was  Cat  Swamp  on  the  road  to  Southington,  and  Beaver  Pond,  adjoining  the 
Olcl  Fly,  on  the  borders  of  Berlin.  But  it  was  not  for  game  that  Meriden's  early 
settlers  desired  these  lots  in  the  vicinity  of  Dogs'  Misery.  They  seem  to  have 
been  considered  very  choice  and  valuable  bits  of  real  estate  and  were  only  distrib- 
ntcd  in  lots  of  two,  three  or  Inur  acres  and  were  callerl  "hopp  lots."  Every  one  of 
the  planters  had  his  *'liopp  lot"  eitlier  in  the  neighborhood  of  Dogs'  Misery  or  in 
the  lowland  liordering  Hnrbor  brook,  .south  of  West  Main  >trcct,  all  the  way  to 
the  Qiiinnipiac  river.  And  on  Wharton's  bruuk  and  on  otlu  r  brcwks  in  Walling- 
I'ord  there  were  "hopp"  lots  also.  Mr.  iVrkins.  so  often  (juoted.  savs:  **This  'hopp 
crronnd  land'  was  that  which  produced  the  material  for  makini;  hoops  |ho|)ps]. 
Such  land.  llKuit:Ii  swampy,  was  then  the  most  valuable  in  the  town,  i-'or  in  the 
deartli  c>i  a  circulating  medium  and  of  means  for  purchasing  all  foreign  produce, 
these  liiX)ps  [and  staves  also]  always  found  a  great  demand,  and  a  ready  sale  in 
the  XVest  Indies.  Oi  course,  our  farmers  in  trading  with  the  New  Haven  mer- 
chants, found  these  hoop  poles  as  useful  as  cash." 

This  seems  a  doubtful  explanation  for  several  reasons.  First,  hoops  for  bar- 
rels  are  always  made  from  hidcory  and  hickory  does  not  grow  in  swamp  ground, 
such  as  Dogs'  Misery  was  and  is.  Again,  those  versed  in  such  matters,  say  they 
do  not  know  of  any  wood  grown  in  swamp  land  that  could  be  used  for  such  pur- 
poses. Again,  the  word  in  the  Wallingford  records  is  invariably  "hopp."  Here, 
as  elsewhere,  during  these  early  years  the  spelling  is  a  fearful  and  wonderful 
phenomenon  and  one  is  prepared  for  almost  any  combination  of  letters  to  mis- 
represent a  word.  But  after  1735  the  penmanship  in  the  records  is  excellent  and 
frequently  beautiful  and  the  spelling  good,  and  yet  this  word  is  still  hop  or  hopp. 

Waterbury  and  Wethersfield,  and  doubtless  other  towns,  had  their  "hopp 
lands '  and  the  use  of  the  word  in  this  same  way  is  found  in  the  Colonial  Records

of  Connecticut.  If  hoop  had  been  intended,  somewhere,  somebody  would  have 
been  found  to  give  the  right  form  to  the  word.^  Consequently,  one  is  forced  to 
the  belief  that  the  word  bore  some  relation  to  hops  or  the  hop  vine.  Hops^  must 
have  been  raised  in  the  early  days  of  the  colony,  for  they  are  as  indispensable  in 
the  making  of  bread  as  wheat  itself,  for  bread  without  yeast  or  something^  to 
make  it  rise  would  have  been  the  last  resort  of  a  desperate  housewife.  England 
for  centuries,  has  been  a  great  consumer  of  hops,  and  our  early  settlers,  after  using 
what  was  needed  for  bread^making  and  home-brewed  beer,  would  have  found  a 
ready  market  for  their  surplus  produce  by  selling  it  to  New  Haven  to  be  shipped 
to  England.'  Consequently  hop  poles  were  needed  and  must  have  been  in  great 
demand.  Hops  are  not  grown  in  swampy  or  moist  ground  but  hop  poles  are. 
A  gendeman,  now  a  resident  of  Meriden,  whose  boyhood  was  passed  near  Dan- 
bury,  says  that  in  those  days  hops  were  grown  in  large  quantities  in  that  locality 
and  that  the  farmers  in  winter,  when  the  ground  was  frozen  solidly,  invariably 
resorted  to  the  swamps  to  cut  poles  for  use  the  next  season  in  supporting  the 
hop  vines.  This  then  seems  the  probable  use,  in  the  opinion  of  the  writer,  to 
which  "hop  land  lots"  were  put.  It  is  not  disputed  that  there  wras  a  large  business 
in  hoop-poles,  but  the  farmers  must  have  resorted  to  the  forests  for  the  source  of 
si'pply.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  timber  was  exported  in  large  quantities  and  at  last 
became  so  serious  a  question  that  the  town  took  action  as  follows : 

At  a  town  nictiiiq:  in  Wal!  hilt  ford  descmber  25th  1705  The  town  considering' 
the  great  destruction  that  hath  bene  of  timber  by  reason  of  j^ecting  and  transport- 
ing of  pipstaves^  which  to  prevent  the  town  voted  and  agreed  to  put  a  stop  to 
the  same  and  that  no  man  shall  have  liberty  to  transport  any  staves  after  the 
tenth  day  of  June  next  insuing  the  date  hearof  on  the  penalty  of  the  Law  in 
that  case  provided  and  to  afeect  that  mater  the  town  doth  desire  at  least  tow  of 
the  townsmen  to  give  notis  to  all  the  marchants  that  used  to  traid  in  seach  waire 
with  the  peo])le  of  our  town  that  whatsoever  staves  are  shipt  on  bord  or  landed  on 
shoore  side  to  be  shiped  for  transportation  after  July  next  shall  be  seased  ac- 
cording to  law  also  the  s<*  townsmen  shall  desire  the  grand  jure  men  at  Newheav- 
en  to  make  search  after  and  present  the  same." 

That  tliis  action  did  not  accomplish  what  was  desired,  or  else  that  the  trade 
had  again  started  up  is  evident  by  aiiotlier  vote.

&ieser  quantity.  ***♦*" 

The  vote  then  proceeds  to  hedge  about  the  selectmen  with  fines  and  penalties 
in  case  they  do  not  rigidly  enforce  the  town  vote.  The  action  shows  that  the  trade 
in  pipestaves,  hogshead  staves  and  general  lumber  was  considerable.  It  is  very 
likely  that  the  words,  "slitt  work/'  was  a  term  used  for  barrel  hoops. 

I^iit  to  return  to  the  **hopp  lots/'^  they  were  carefully  alloted  and  recorded 
and  for  a  number  of  years  there  are  many  entries  of  distribution  and  sale  of  2, 
3  and  4  acres.  The  regulation  or  usual  shape  of  these  lots  in  Dogs'  Misery  was  5 
r<xls  by  120  rods,  although  where  adjoining  differences  in  the  ground,  either  in 
quality  or  topography,  interfered  with  the  breadth  of  the  crrowth  of  the  shrubs 
or  small  trees,  away  from  the  brook,  the  size  or  shape  of  the  lots  varied  and  ap- 
proximated 10  by  60  rods.  The  distance  along  the  brook  (frequently  called  Mis- 
ery brook)  divided  into  these  long,  narrow  lots,  was  considerable.  A  map  of  a 
portion  of  this  distance  made  up  from  the  records  is  here  inserted  and  explains 
the  arrangement  at  a  glance.  Each  lot  was  bounded  north  and  south  by  the  lots 
of  adjoining  owners,  one  on  each  side,  and  on  the  east  and  west  by  common  or 
undivided  land.

when  it  is  saifl  that  these  "hopp"  lots  were  1980  feet  long  (more  than  a  third  of 
a  mile)  by  82^  feet  wide  a  better  idea  of  their  shape  and  size  i>  conveyed.

-oail  was  called  Misery  road  ami  the  old  grass  grown  Misery  Bar  road  that  now 
runs  through  the  heart  of  the  swamp  was  probably  constructed  at  the  same  time 
for  the  convenience  of  the  owners  to  reach  their  various  lots.  The  name  of  Dogs* 
Misery  was  applied  to  a  much  larger  territory  than  that  covered  by  the  swamp. 
A  name  had  to  be  employed  and  our  ancestors  were  nnt  particular  as  to  the  eu- 
phony^ of  a  word  providing  it  expressed  the  idea  intended  to  be  conveyed  and 
90  we  find  that  those  who  took  up  "lands  for  farms  in  the  district  bounded  by 
the  morntains  on  the  east  and  Meeting  House  or  Deer  Hill  (as  it  was  then  called) 
on  the  west*  were  propert\  owners  in  Dogs'  Misery.  It  is  probable  that  homes 
were  built  and  settlements  made  in  the  neighborhood  of  Dogs'  Misery  Swamp  as 
early  as  i68c>.  With  so  muii)  property  owners  in  so  contracted  a  quarter  and  land 
grants  so  closely  joined  it  is  not  surprising  that  disputes  arose  and  appeals  were 
made  to  the  courts  in  New  Haven.  Capt.  Yale  and  Ensign  Royce  became  in- 
volved in  a  bitter  quarrel  that  drew  in  many  of  the  other  lot  owners.  The  im- 
mediate cause  was  a  dispute  about  a  watering  place.  Appeals  were  made  to  the 
town  authority  and  one  petition  signed  by  twenty^four  different  men  is  a  par- 
tial directory  of  the  lot  owners.  A  copy  of  the  petition  and  names  of  the  signers 
is  given  in  Dr.  Davis'  history,  page  132.  Encroachment  on  a  lot  by  an  adjoining 
holder  was  not  uncommon  and  the  evident  value  of  the  lots  makes  it  easy  to  un- 
derstand  how  easily  disputes  would  arise.  Of  course,  these  lot  owners  were 
constantly  buying  and  selling 'until  there  was  finally  an  accumulation  in  a  few 
hands.  The  first  house  to  be  built  in  Dogs  Misery  was  probably  that  of  Daniel 
Hall,  which  stood  not  far  from  the  present  Julius  Hall  homestead,  now  occupied 
by  his  son  and  daughters  on  Murdock  avenue.  He  took  up  his  land  grants  in 
the  vicinity  until  he  had  a  farm  of  several  hundred  acres. 

As  already  noted,  there  was  a  division  of  '"hopp"  lots  taking  place  at  the  same 
time  along  Harbor  brook,  south  of  West  Main  street.   It  was  a  repetition  of  the 
allotments  in  Dogs'  Misery,  although  the  lots  were  not  so  long,  as  the  configura- 
tion of  the  land  would  not  admit  of  it,  for  the  depressions  here  are  more  narrow 
and  the  course  of  the  stream  more  winding.   In  this  territory  was  a  large  tract 
called  *'town  farm*'  sequestered  for  public  uses  and  on  the  Andrew  Coe  farm  hi 
South  Meriden,  a  short  <Iistance  west  of  the  highway  and  half  a  mile  south  of 
the  stone  "castle"  there  is  a  ledge  called  "Town  Rock."   Few  are  aware  of  its 
existence  and  fewer  still  know  that  it  is  so  calletl  because  it  marked  the  western 
side  of  this  town  farm.   This  farm  was  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres  in  extent  and 
was  a  lonj:;^  narrow  lot  that  extended  across  Pilgrims'  Harbor  brook  just  above  its 
unction  with  the  Quinntpiac  river,  and  ran  well  over  toward  the  hill  on  which 
Walnut  Grove  cemetery  is  situated.    It  was  afterwards  granted  to  Rev.  Samuel 
Whittlesey,  of  Wallingford,  and  held  by  him  and  his  descendants  for  nearly  a

A  CENTURY   OF  MERIDEN 


hundred  years.  The  name  of  Tilgrinis'  Harbor  localized  a  territory  as  far  south 
as  the  junction  of  Cook  and  New  Hanove  r  avenues,  west  at  least  to  Lew  is  ave- 
nue, north  lo  (_01iinil)ia  street  and  perhaps  farther,  east  certainly  to  liie  junction 
of  East  Main  and  Liberty  streets,  and  deeds  have  been  noticed  granting  tracts  of 
land  on  Broad  street  that  defined  the  real  estate  as  in  Pilgrims'  Harbor.  It  was 
a  name  that  did  not  ha\  e  pr*  ci.>c  or  definite  l  imiidaries.  and  they  were  shitted  ac- 
cording to  the  notions  of  tlie  grantor  or  grantee.  iUil  all  that  portion  where 
"hopp  lots"  were  located  was  very  swanip\  ami  very  likely  just  as  uninviting  in 
apj>earance  as  the  swamp  land  of  Dogs  Miser  Indeed,  the  early  deeds  of  lands 
in  Pilgrims"  Harbor  speak  of  it  as  "ye  wihUrness" — a  term  not  applied  to  any 
other  i)art  of  Mcriden,  which  shows  that  this  central  part  of  the  town  was  en- 
tirely uncleared,  with  no  meadow  land — nothing  but  swamp  and  an  almost  impene- 
trable growth  of  trees  and  brush.  The  line  uf  the  northern  extent  of  Wallinu- 
ford  at  the  Colony  street  crossing  of  Harbor  brook  was  marked  by  two  "mere" 
stones — so-called  in  old  deeds ;  one  on  each  side  of  the  brook.  Of  course,  there 
were  "hopp"  lots  north  of  this  t>otindary  but  they  were  private  pro[)erty  and  did 
not  belong  to  Wallingford  to  dispose  of ;  as  we  will  see  later.  Another  portion  of 
Meriden  that  was  attracting  the  attention  of  the  planters  at  an  early  date  was  that 
south  of  Walnut  Grove  cemetery  that  we  now  term  the  Farms  District.  It  was 
known  as  **MiIking  Yard.**  On  Dec.  i6,  1679,  record  reads  "town  agreed 
and  voated  that  y*  land  about  y*  Milking  Yard  and  on  y*  north  side  y^  broke  at 
y*  head  of  y*  Little  Playne  w*^**  was  formerly  designed  for  that  end  be  viewed 
&  provision  made  for  settling  of  planters  as  they  shal  appeare."  This  name  seems 
to  have  been  derived  from  a  brook  that  crosses  Colony  road  a  little  south  of  the 
Dr.  Archer  place.  Mr.  Perkins  says  the  brook  was  *'so  called  because  cattle  were 
of  old  there  driven  into  a  pen  to  be  milked."  The  land  below  was  a  common  and 
used  as  pasturage  for  the  herds  of  the  planters  living  in  Walltngford  village, 
with  provision  for  gathering  the  cattle  to  a  common  point  at  nightfall.  As  in  all 
other  towns  the  live  stock  was  branded  with  each  owner*s  particular  mark  which 
was  carefully  recorded.  The  following  vote  seems  to  show  that  the  tradition 
of  the  pasturage  and  milking  pen  is  correct.  In  1672  the  record  reads  "no  more 
house  lots  granted  except  on  west  side  y«  river  or  above  y*  brook  at  y"  head  of 
littel  playne  called  y*  tow  mile  playne ;  that  all  lands  from  thence  downwards 
be  for  convenence  of  pastures  &  towne  lands  for  home  lots  already  granted  on 
hill  east  of  y«  g"^*  playne**'  This  milking  yard  plain  was  also  called  "Little 
playne/'  to  distinguish  it  from  the  ''Great  playne"  west  of  the  village,  and  "Falls 
Playne."  This  locality  seems  to  have  been  particularly  attractive  to  the  Royces 
and  several  members  of  this  numerous  family  took  grants  of  large  tracts  of  land 
in  Milking  Yard  and  their  farms  ran  up  Colony  road  for  nearly  a  mile,  and  the 
district  was  later  called  Royce's  farms.

EARLY  HISTORY. 


65 


No  part  of  Meridcn  seems  to  have  been  rcgarcled  so  favorably  by  the  pioneers 
as  the  territory  now  known  as  Hanovtr.  or  South  Meriden.  It  is  a  beautiful 
spot.  As  one  stands  on  the  hili  west  of  W  aluut  ( jrovc  cemetery  and  looks  down 
on  the  little  village  nestled  between  bold  hills  and  half  circled  by  the  waters  of 
the  Quinnipiac  sweeping:  from  the  deep  wooded  valle\  known  as  Or^on,  and 
then  in  the  northwest  beholds  the  glorious  view  of  the  ruj]fg:<^'<l'  serried  ranj^fes 
of  the  Hanging  Hills,  one  admires  the  judgment  of  the  i>lanters.  It  is  an  ideal 
spot  for  just  what  seems  to  have  l)een  intended  by  the  action  of  the  town  on  Feb. 
19,  i68y.  The  ground  had  been  laid  out  with  a  two  rod  street  running  north 
and  south  through  the  middle  of  the  plain  and  the  land  on  each  side  staked  olT 
T'lto  sixty-three  lots.  The  street  was  eighty  rods  long  and  the  lots  ran  from  it 
•  >  tho  hill  on  the  w»  st  and  the  river  on  the  east.  The  vote  reads.  "At  a  l^awfnl 
1  owne  meeting  February  1689-yo  y^  Towne  voted  that  y^  Falls  Playne  shall 
he  cast  lots  fur  and  laid  out  according  to  y^'  written  platform  or  map.  lots  be- 
ing cast  each  mans  lot  a'^  fnllnuetli."  etc..  etc. 

The  event  wn<  r(>n>itlered  ol  i,uch  importance  that  a  nia])  was  drawn  and 
spread  v.]Hm  the  land  record.*; — the  onlv  map  evtr  thv.'^  \vi\h^\-r>\  by  Wallingtord, 
A  r«  production  on  a  small  scale  is  shown.  I  he  phu  i  was  called  I'alls  IMain

at  tl  c  tni :e.  It  will  Le  ol, served  that  there  is  no  mention  of  t!ie  place  IninL;  in-

The  long  narrow  grants  look  sus])iciou>ly  like  i1k».sc  of  iJog.s*  .Misery  and  it  is 
certain  that  there  were  con.slanl  irausl'ers  of  hopp  lots  at  I'alls  IMaiu.s  ihereafter. 
.A.  tew  of  these  lots  were  verv  narrow — too  narti  w  [n  have  been  used  as  house 
lots  :  lor  instance,  lot  So.  23.  IxKinging  to  William  (  ole.  was  8(j  rods  long  east 
and  west,  and  3  rods  and  (>  feet  wide,  or  1.3JO  x  55;/..  feet.  That  of  Joseph  Roycc 
was  80  rods  long  and  5  ru(U  and  4  t\ct  wide.

no  lake  north  of  the  village  as  that  was  lacking  until  the  dam  was  built. 

That  part  of  Meriden  north  of  the  Quinnipiac  river  and  northwest  of  Falls

\ivas  called  Hanging  Hill  woods  and  early  in  the  next  century  the  land  records 
begin  to  frequently  refer  to  this  district*  Allen  avenue,  leading  from  "  Crow  Hol- 
low" on  West  Main  street  to  Cheshire  street  on  the  other  side  of  the  long  hill, 
takes  one  through  the  heart  of  Hanging  Hill  woods.  The  land  was  fertile  and 
some  of  the  most  profitable  farms  in  Meriden  were  located  in  this  territory.  It 
was  so  called  even  down  to  the  foot  of  the  hilts  east  of  Cheshire  street.

CHAPTER  VX. 

AInicsi  from  the  inception  of  tin-  settlement  nf  W'alliiigford  the  planters 
lookcil  with  longing  c>cs  on  the  lurljiddcn  territory  north  of  PilpnnL-  Harbor 
ford.  1  hey  desired  it  and  they  intended  to  ^^et  it.  A  considerable  portiun  of  the 
country  uliicli  the  colonial  court  had  granted  the  Lnwn  in  1670  was  ahsolulely 
barren  and  not  susceptible  of  cultivation.  To-day  one  enters  this  tract  in  going 
south  on  the  railroad  a  short  distance  below  the  Yalcsvillc  station.  There  are 
places  where  the  sand  plains  are  fully  halt  a  mile  wide  and  they  extend  sonlh  in- 
to North  Haven.  Geoloijists  tell  ns  that  the  "great  j)layne,"  as  it  was  called, 
was  once  the  bed  of  a  large  river — perhaps  the  Quinnipiac,  or  possibly  the  Con- 
nectiait  before  it  broke  through  the  rocky  walls  at  Middletown.  Moreover,  they 
saw  the  enormous  extent  of  Farmington,  which  at  that  time  included  the  towns 
of  Southington,  Bristol,  Burlington,  Avon,  New  Britain,  and  a  large  part  of 
Berlin.  Middletown,  on  the  east,  was  another  large  town  which  then  included 
Cromwell,  Portland,  Chatham  and  Middlefield.  There  seemed  no  reason  why 
this  strip  of  country,  three  miles  north  and  south  and  between  five  and  six  miles 
east  and  west,  which  was  a  part  of  no  township,  should  not  be  incorporated  into 
the  town.  John  Talcott,  of  Hartford,  a  great  Indian  fighter  and  a  man  of  con- 
scqnence,  was  apparently  the  friend  of  some  of  the  Wallingford  planters  and  his 
influence  was  asked  to  assist  in  getting  possession  of  the  coveted  land.  Tt  was  im> 
possible  to  procure  a  grant  from  the  general  assembly,  so,  by  the  aid  of  John 
Talcott,  an  Indian  title  to  the  land  was  bought.  The  experience  in  this  vicinity, 
and  doubtless  elsewhere,  was,  that  no  sooner  was  a  title  bought  from  one  In- 
dian than  another  would  present  himself,  claiming  that  the  first  Indian's  title 
was  ''no  good,"  but  tiis  was  the  genuine  article.  Already  New  Haven  had  bought 
the  land  as  far  north  as  Kensington  avenue  and  Edward  Higbee  had  bought  the 
right  to  a  large  part  of  Meriden's  soil  of  Seaukett  in  1664 ;  and  now  Adam  Puit 
of  Podunk  presented  himself  with  a  clear  and  unsullied  title  to  the  land  extend- 
ing five  miles  south  from  Jonathan  Gilbert's  "Meriden  farm."  The  deed  tells 
its  own  stor}-: 

"Hartford,  August  10.  1684. 

"Know  all  men  whom  this  may  concern,  that  I,  Adam  Puit,  Indian  belonging 
and  now  resident  at  Podunk  have  and  doe  hereby  mortgage  all  my  land  lyeing 
upon  the  roade  towards  Newhaven  beyond  and  adjoyning  to  Jonathan  Gilbert*s

John  Talcott  then  gave  an  assignment  of  the  above  deed  to  Wallingford  and 
both  doaiments  are  duly  recorded  on  the  town  books  and  also  tn  Deeds  and  Patents 
to  Lands  in  the  office  of  Secretary  of  State. 

This  deed  from  Adam  Puit  conveyed  land  as  far  south  as  YalesvtUe,  notwith- 
standing that  all  south  of  Pilgrims'  Harbor  ford  already  belonged  to  Wallingford. 
Five  miles  south  from  Jonathan  Gilbert's  Mertden  farm  would  measure  fully  to 
that  point  This  transaction  must  have  convinced  the  Wallingford  planters  that 
it  was  only  a  question  of  time  before  the  colony  of  Connecticut  would  confirm  this 
Indian  deed  by  allowing  the  town  to  absorb  the  land  by  actual  extension  of  its 
bounds  to  the  southern  bounds  of  Farmington.  This  Indian  grant  only  put  Wal- 
lingford in  the  position  of  owning  the  land  just  as  a  private  person  might,  but  gave 
the  town  no  right  to  tax  the  individuals  who  were  living  in  the  locality.  Already 
Henry  Cole  held  an  Indian  title  to  the  same  territory  or  a  good  part  of  it  which  had 
been  given  by  Seaukett  to  Edward  Higbee  and  by  Higbee  to  Cole.  It  would 
have  been  better  for  all  concerned  had  the  colony  decided  at  once  to  incorporate 
the  land  in  the  township  of  Wallingford.  But  instead,  in  view  of  the  impending 
advent  of  Sir  Edmund  Andross  to  assume  the  reins  of  government,  the  land  was 
^ven  to  the  towns  of  "Farmington,  Wethersfield  and  Middletown  to  plant  a  vil- 
lage in"  as  has  already  been  told  in  Chapter  II.  The  act  was  certainly  unjust,  but 
it  was  probably  done  in  the  heat  of  excitement.  As  we,  of  course,  know,  the 
land  was  ultimately  incorporated  into  Wallingford,  but  not  until  bitter  land  dis- 
putes had  been  occasioned  by  the  anomalous  situation.  Not  until  many  years 
later  did  the  territory  receive  much  attention  from  these  favored  towns  and  then 
the  struggle  to  take  away  whatever  rights  Wallingford  had  under  her  Indian 
grant  was  carried  on  mainly  by  Middletown.  The  struggle  lasted  more  tlun 
fifty  years.  W'licn  last  Our  attention  was  given  to  tliis  northern  territory  Henry 
Cole  with  his  family  were  practically  the  sole  inhabitants,  and  little  attention 
seems  to  have  been  paid  to  it  by  the  four  surrounding  towns.   But  on  Dec.  20,

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


1708,  this  vote  was  parsed  in  town  meeting  b)  both  Wcthersfield  and  Middlctovvn 
"Whereas  the  Gen^^  assembly  of  this  colony  having  formerly  granted  unto  the 
townes  of  W'eathcrsfield  Middletown  and  l-arniington  all  that  tract  of  Land  ly- 
ing between  Weathersfield  Middletowne  and  l-'anniiigton  and  Wallingford  not 
before  granted,  this  town  appoints  Capt  Robt  Wells,  C'apt  Joshua  Robbins  & 
Lent  Benja  Churchill  a  comniiucc  they  or  any  two  of  them,  fully  Iinpowering'

said  tract  &  what  further  the\  may  Judge  meet  in  order  to  the  settling  of  the 
same  with  Inhabitants  or  Its  distribution  for  our  use  and  to  make  return  of  what 
they  do  in  this  affair  to  this  town  as  soon  as  they  can  perform  the  trust  com- 
mitted to  them  hereby.'*   These  votes  were  in  identical  language  and  passed  on 
the  same  day,  which  shows  that  it  was  concerted  action,  and  an  attempt  to  take 
advantage  of  the  grant  hy  the  Colonial  government  in  1687.   That  same  year  a 
Wethersfield  man  had  bought  a  large  part  of  Henry  Coles*  farm  of  his  heirs,  and 
possibly  some  action  was  deemed  necessary  to  protect  him  in  his  purchase,  for 
Wallingford  had  insisted  that  the  deed  should  be  recorded  in  her  land  records. 
Two  years  later  the  latter  town  made  this  individual  buy  her  Indian  or  native 
right  to  his  purchase,  held  under  the  deed,  from  Adam  Puit.   Nothing  further 
transpired  to  show  that  Wethersiield  and  Middletown  were  giving  attention  to 
the  disputed  territory  until  1722  and  1723.   In  those  years  two  petitions  were 
presented  to  the  General  Assembly  by  two  groups  of  Wallingford  men,  show- 
ing that  the  dispute  over  these  lands  had  broken  out  again.  The  petitions  are  in  the 
Connecticut  State  Library  among  the  archives  entitled  Towns  and  Lands.^  The 
first  one  reads  as  follows:  "To  y*  Hon**^*  The  Gov"*  &  Councill  and  Representa* 
tives  in  y®  Gen"  Court  Assembled  at  New  Haven  October  ii*^  1722.   The  Pe-

all  of  Wallingford:  and  the  heirs  of  John  Burroughs  deceased:  Humbly  Shcw- 
eth:  That  whereas  there  was  a  purchase  of  Land  obtained  by  y^  ancient  Pro-

The  year  following  a  like  petition  was  presented  by  Gideon  Ives  and  Nathan- 
iel Curtis  wlio  had  each  purchased  under  like  circumstances  two  hundred  acres. 
The  purchases  of  the  first  petitioners  had  been  made  in  the  extreme  northern  part 
of  the  disputed  tract  on  the  other  side  of  Cat  Hole  pass  and  adjoining ;  and  the  sec- 
ond group  had  bought  the  land  in  the  extreme  northeastern  part  known  as  Notch 
Meadow  near  Middletown.  ]k)th  seem  to  have  been  test  cases ;  and  each  purchaser 
found  his  land  claimed  by  people  in  the  neighboring  towns.  The  petition  while 
it  stated  the  case  fairly  showe<l  ignorance  of  the  records,  for  John  Talcott  did  not 
obtain  the  mortgage  from  Adam  I'uit  until  1684.  fourteen  years  after  the  set- 
tlement of  Wallingford,  and  he  coidd  not  have  had  a  claim  to  the  land  wlien 
the  bounds  of  the  town  were  granted.  Moreover  X(  w  l  laven  had  not  been  in 
quiet  possess!  II  of  tlic  lands  in  question  "'without  disturbance  or  interruptions 
of  any  persons  laying  claim  thercimto."  lint  more  tlian  50  years  had  elapsed  since 
the  date  of  the  union  of  the  two  colonies  and  the  memory  of  man  is  short  anrl 
in  the  main  the  petition  was  a  just  claim.  The  General  Assembly  appointcil  a 
committee  to  view  the  land,  and  set  such  price  on  the  land  as  said  committee 
should  think  just  and  proper.  Thrs  the  petitioners  had  to  pay  another  purchase 
price  in  order  to  buy  the  right  of  the  colony  to  tliese  lands.  I'ut  the  colonial 
government  then  settled  once  and  {or  always,  the  jurisdiction  over  the  tlispnted 
territory,  for  at  the  ( )ctoher  session.  1723.  the  folhnving  resohitioji  was  i)assed:

up  and  carrying  on  the  publick  worship  of  God  among  themselves,  with  all  such 
liberties,  powers  and  priviledges,  as  other  such  societies  in  this  colony  have  and 
do  by  law  enjoy ;  and  that  the  bounds  of  said  society  shall  be  as  followeth  viz. : 
all  that  part  of  said  Wallingford  Purchase  Lands  not  already  granted  to  Wal« 
lingford  West  Society^  or  to  Farmington  South  Society,^  which  lands  adjoyn  to 
said  Wallingford  north  bounds,  and  also  that  part  of  said  Wallingford  township 
bounded  as  followeth,  that  is  to  say:  that  the  river  shall  be  the  line  from  the 
bounds  of  the  West  Society  down  the  stream  unto  the  south  side  of  Joseph  Coles 
farm,  and  from  thence  i-nto  the  country^  road  north  of  Amos  Halls  farm,  and 
from  thence  a  straight  line  unto  the  highway  below  Amos  Camp's  house  at  the 
east  end  of  said  highway,  and  from  thence  an  east  line  unto  the  mountain '  and 
if  these  lines  shall  happen  to  cross  any  man's  land,  the  said  piece  of  land  shall 
wholly  belong  unto  that  society  wherein  the  owner  dwells.'*^ 

In  the  main  these  bounds  are  the  present  boundaries  of  Meriden.  except  that 
J«»nailian  l>elcher's  farm  called  Meriden  was  not  inchided.  At  the  May  session, 
1728.  "L  pon  the  pra>er  of  the  North  Society  in  Wallingford:  It  is  now  ordered 
that  Merridan  farm  shall  be  annexed  and  the  same  is  hereby  annexed  to  the  said 
society ;  and  tliat  all  the  lands  heretofore  ordered  by  this  Assembly  to  belong  to 
srJd  society,  tojjether  with  said  farm,  is  hereby  annexed  to  the  town  of  Wal-

was  established  and  christened  by  the  name  of  Meriden,  the  name  heretofore 
borne  only  l'\  the  farm  in  the  northern  [)art.*'' 

The  new  boundaries  gave  Meriden  parisii  a  straight  line  on  the  north  and  in- 
cluded the  territory  in  modern  Berlin  up  to  the  laneway  running  west,  just  south 
of  the  house  of  Albert  Xorton.  and  so  it  continued  until  the  last  years  of  the  eight-

CHAPTER  VII. 

Retorc  iIk  Indian  deed  given  by  Adam  Puit  had  been  obtained  by  Walling- 
(1  thruuKli  the  mediation  of  Major  Talcott,  the  colony  of  Connecticut  had 
lined  two  large  tracts  of  land  in  the  territory  north  of  Pilgrims*  Harbor  ford 
two  prominent  men :  one  James  Bishop,  the  other  William  Jones,  both  of  New 
Lven.  Each  gift  was  probably  a  pension  or  reward  for  valuable  services  per- 
med. Both  men  had  been  conspicuous  in  the  colony  of  New  Haven  before  the 
Ion  with  Connecticut  and  both  were  influential  in  the  councils  of  the  colony- 
er  the  union. 

The  name  of  James  Bishop  does  not  a[)pear  on  the  New  Haven  records  until 
^h,  so  probably  he  was  not  one  of  the  original  planters.  Evidently  he  was  a 
m  of  ability  and  high  character,  and  after  1661  he  was  conspicuous  and  in- 
ential.  Tn  that  year  he  was  elected  secretary  of  the  colony  and  continued  in 
it  office  until  the  union.  In  1668  he  was  chosen  one  of  the  magistrates  of  Con- 
rticut  and  was  re-chosen  annually  until  1683  when  he  was  made  deputy  gover- 
r.    To  that  office  he  was  re-elected  each  year  until  his  death  on  June  22,  1691. 

William  Jones,'  who  had  been  a  lawyer  in  London,  came  to  America  in  the 
ne  ship  which  brought  the  regicides  Whalley  and  Goffe  in  i66o.  He  had  mar- 
d  in  London,  Hannah,  the  youngest  daughter  of  Governor  Theophilus  Eaton. 

New  Haven.  The  governor  had  died  in  1658  and  Mr.  Jones  came  to  New 
Lven  to  look  after  his  wife  s  estate  and  there  he  made  his  home.  He  was  a  man 
good  talents  and  the  fact  was  soon  recognized,  for  in  1662  he  was  chosen  one 
the  magistrates  of  the  colony  of  New  Haven.  In  1664  he  was  elected  deputy 
vemor.  Upon  the  union  in  1665  he  was  elected  a  magistrate  of  Connecticut 
i  was  annually  re-elected  until  the  death  of  James  Bishop  in  1691  when  he  was 
cted  deputy  governor  to  succeed  him.  He  was  each  year  re-chosen  until  1698 
ten  he  refused  to  continue  in  the  office  longer  as  he  was  then  74  years  old.  He 
:d  Oct.  17,  1706.  at  the  age  of  82,  and  the  General  Assembly  which  was 
»ii  sitting  in  New  Haven  voted  to  give  him  a  public  funeral  and  appropriated 
s  funds  to  defray  the  expense.  The  most  interesting  fact  in  his  life  was  his. 
nnectioii  with  the  two  judges,  Whalley  and  Goffe.  While  they  were  hiding  in 
ew  Haven,  Mr.  Jones'  house  was  their  place  of  refuge  for  eleven  days,  and  he 
ems  to  have  shared  tlu  honors  with  Rev.  John  Davenport  during  this  exciting

A  CENTURY  OF  UERIDEN. 


At  the  October  session  of  the  General  Assembly.  1669,  the  following  vote  wa 
recorded:  *  riiis  court  .grants  Mr,  James  Bishop  three  hundred  acres  of  lan<l.  \n< 
vided  he  takes  it  up  where  it  does  not  prejudice  any  former  grant,"  and  the  fol 
lowing  year  the  "Court  appovnts  Mr.  John  Mosse  and  Mr.  James  Brockett  t* 
lay  out  to  the  Hon^'i  *  *  *  *  j^^^.  James  Bishop  that  land  that  was  for 
merly  granted  by  this  court."  The  fami  or  grant  laid  out  for  Mr.  Bishop  wa 
in  the  very  heart  of  Meriden,  and  although  we  cannot  locate  the  exact  bounds  w 
can  approxiinate  it  very  closely. 

Start  a(  the  bridge  over  Harbor  brook,  just  east  of  the  office  of  L>(>n  ^  Ril 
lard  Co. — the  southwest  corner,  and  follow  the  west  bank  of  tlie  brook  until  w 
reach  the  northwest  corner  of  the  Center  street  bridge  over  Harbor  brook.  Thei 
draw  a  straight  line  westward  to  the  intersection  of  Springdale  and  Capitol  ave 
iiues;  thence  <lue  south  to  Main  street,  and  then  by  a  straight  line  to  the  startin: 
point.  The  northern  line  of  this  land  errant  crosses  Colony  street 
little  north  of  Foster  street  and  the  south  line  runs  just  back  of  or  through  al 
the  business  blocks  nn  the  south  side  of  West  Main  street.  The  MrnMon  Cri 
tannia  Co.  factories  and  all  the  business  blocks  on  West  Main  street  and  ncarl; 
all  on  Xorth  Colnnv  street  are  iu  the  Bishop  farm,  and  it  includes  within  it. 
bovnds  the  most  valuable  part  of  Mcrideii's  business  center.  But  at  the  lime  tin 
grant  was  made,  it  was  what  may  well  Ik  termed  a  "howling  wilderness."  hi'; 
what  use  Mr.  Bisiiop  niatle  ot  it  we  cannot  tell.  Doubtk'>s  he  s^ld  limber  wliid 
was  floated  down  TIarl)or  hronk  and  Quinnipiac  river,  and  perlia|)s.  after  part  " 
the  land  was  cleared  lie  put  xonie  otu  in  charge  to  till  the  land  and  raise  crops.  Ii 
an  inventorv  of  his  estate  made  after  his  death  in  iC¥)\  this  farm  \\a>  valued  a 
£40,  or  sa\  S_n)i).  Of  course  this  sum  is  ridiculous  when  compared  \s  ith  the  valua- 
tion tl).'il  two  lii'udred  vears  of  >cltlenK'nl  and  progress  have  ad(lc<l  U>  ii.

Jones,  west  on  land  lately  laid  out  to  sundry  ihtsous  by  the  town  ot  Wallin?- 
ford."  The  phrase  "south  on  \\  allmi.:  ford  old  line."  is  the  key  by  which  \u, 
arc  enabled  to  roughly  locate  all  the  ancient  farms  in  .Mcriden  that  were  in  Pil' 
grims'  Harbor.  It  should  be  mentioned  here  that  there  never  was  an  attempt  tc 
establish  a  village  in  Meriden.  The  land  was  granted  in  large  tracts  scatters 
here  and  there,  and  they  were  solely  for  fanning  purposes.  That  a  village  «"« 
finally  formed  was  due  wholly  to  unconscious  gravitation  towards  a  convenient  cen- 
ter.  In  other  words  it  was  a  form  of  evolution.

the  General  Assembly  and  two  additions  were  granted  him  at  a  later  date  by 
allingford  an<l  the  colony  so  that  eventually  he  had  550  acres.    The  description 

the  first  or  colonial  grant  is  as  follows,'  "bei^innint^  by  W  allingford  Bound

the  straij^ht  hnc  niciilioned.  Here  then  were  two  jrreat  farms  p:iven  to  Mcssr 
Bishop  and  Jones  that  really  embraced  a  very  great  part  of  the  business  genu 
of  modern  Meridcn. 

It  ahnosl  seems  as  it  these  gentlemen  had  a  prophetic  vision  of  what  the  fi 
ture  was  to  be  when  choosing  their  grants  in  territory  that  was  to  contain  so  larg 
a  part  of  Meriden's  business  activity. 

It  is  now  time  to  describe  the  "northern  bound  line  of  WalliniJ 
ford"  or  "vValhngiord  old  bounds,"  which  has  been  mentioned  in  th 
foregoing  descriptions.  Its  location  was  as  much  of  a  puzzle  in  th 
early  days  as  it  is  to-day.  The  one  point  already  located — its  intersection  wit; 
Culouy  street  at  Harbor  Urook  bridge  is  easy  to  remember.  As  land  transfers  )k 
gan  to  increase  the  selectmen  found  it  necessary  to  locate  this  line  in  a  way  il 
could  not  be  mistaken.  It  was  particularly  necessai)  lur  this  reason.  All  grant 
south  of  this  line  wen-  L^iven  by  the  town  of  Wallingford — the  town  was,  there 
fore,  the  fountain  source.  Liul  land  north  of  the  line  had  been  granted  by  ib 
colonial  government  or  the  "Country,"  as  the  old  records  express  it,  and  wa 
governed  and  taxed  by  it.  Wallingford  had  nothing  to  do  with  these  north  farm 
previous  to  1723.  except  that  she  held  the  Indian  or  native  right  after  1684  througi 
the  purchase  from  Adam  Puit,  and  made  some  grants  under  it.  The  re 
suit  is  interesting.  The  northern  territory  was  settled  almost  wholly  by  peopl 
from  Wethersfieldy  Middletown,  Famiington,  Durham  and  Massachusetts,  whili 
the  southern  or  Wallingford  section  was  settled  by  the  inhabitants  of  that  town 
This  rule  was  not  invariable,  but  it  was  general.  A  lack  of  knowledge  of  the  lo 
cation  of  the  northern  boundary  line  made  it  easy  for  one  man  to  encroach  on  an 
other's  property.  It  is  anticipating  events  somewhat  to  describe  how  this  bouft 
dary  line  was  marked  for  we  have  to  jump  from  the  year  1687  to  1 721 — a  yesi 
when  the  Jones  farm  had  begun  to  be  broken  up  into  smaller  holdings.  In  Oc 
tober,  1721,  the  town  committee  or  selectmen  laid  out  a  "two  rod  highway  be 
ginning  at  Pilgrims  Harbor  brook  at  the  Country  road  to  follow  the  town  line  t 
Middletown  bounds/'^  Later  deeds  show  the  exact  location  of  this  road  and  i 
is  a  straight  line  the  whole  distance  to  Middletown.  The  Rev.  Theophilus  Hal 
and  Aaron  Lxman  acquired  the  southern  part  or  second- grant  of  the  Jones  farm 
and  their  northern  bounds  both  from  their  own  frequent  descriptions  and  fron 
tradition  were  on  Liberty  street.  The  old  Brenton  Hall  farm  in  the  extrenw 
eastern  part  of  Meriden,  originally  granted  to  Rev.  Samuel  Hall,  of  Cheshire 
was  also  bounded  on  the  north  by  this  old  town  line  or  highway.  Imagine  Liberti 
street  exten<iing  westerly  until  it  reaches  the  Colony  street  bridge  over  Harbot

Crook  and  also  easterly,  running  in  a  straight  line  on  its  present  course,  atul  it  will 
give  us  the  highway  laid  out  by  the  selectmen  in  1721.  In  order  to  picture  it 
as  it  was,  it  is  necessary  to  obliterate,  in  our  minds,  East  Main  street  from  Colony 
f-irect  to  the  Center  Congregational  church,  as  that  street  was  laid  out  at  a  much 
later  date,^  One's  mind  is  so  dominated  by  this  more  important  street  that  this 
ancient  layout  cannot  be  understood  until  we  imagine  or  picture  Liberty  street 
as  the  one  highway  running  from  what  is  now  the  center  of  the  town  to  the  cast. 
This  old  road,  as  it  ran  east  from  Harbor  Brook  bridge.  [)assed  just  south  of  the 
n.ifldle  of  the  present  location  of  the  Main  Street  Baptist  church  and  came  out  at 
the  northern  end  of  what  is  now  Willow  strict,  and  it  will  be  readily  seen  that 
this  is  on  the  line  of  Liberty  street.  This  old  section,  now  obliterated,  was  in 
existence  within  the  memory  of  people  still  living.  Mrs.  Breckenridge  in  her 
■Recollections  of  a  Xew  England  Town."  mentions  it.-  This  old  Liberty  street 
(as  we  may  call  it  )  can  still  he  traced  at  many  points.  If  one  stands  on  Preston 
avenue  whefe  the  old  Booth  place  formerly  stood  in  the  extreme  eastern  part  of 
Mcriden  and  looks  west,  one  can  see  the  old  grass  grown  road  bordered  by  old 
ytone  walls  and  running  tlirnui^h  the  meadows  muil  the  hill  hides  it  from  view. 
:ind  on  the  horizon  in  the  same  line  one  will  perceive  on  a  clear  day  the  old  *'!?iir' 
John.son  place  in  the  extreme  western  part  of  the  town.  It  is  ca<:y  to  follow  the 
ri^ad  on  foot  for  a  long  distance,  hut  here  and  there  the  traces  are  lM>t  hecanse  the 
Tontid  has  heen  cultivated.  The  John  'S'camnns  place,  built  over  a  hundred  and

A  CKXTURY  OF  AIliKlDEN. 


early  date  by  Rev.  Samuel  Hall  of  Cheshire,  it  was  on  the  main  thoroughfare  and 
the  present  Middletown  and  Mcriden  turnpike  was  not  in  existence.  In  the  year 
1744  (twenty  years  after  Wallingford  had  acquired  the  northern  half  of  Meridcn) 
bitter  dispuies  about  land  boundaries  were  agitating  the  farmers,  and  it  was 
deemed  wise  to  define  and  lay  out  the  western  half  of  the  ancient  Wallingford 
north  line.  Therefore,  on  Jan.  25.  1/44-45'  the  selectmen  engaged  the  services 
of  the  New  Haven  county  surve\  or,  John  Hitchcock,  to  run  it.  He  ran  **the  old 
north  line  beginning  at  northwest  comer  hy  Farmington  bounds"  (now  Southing- 
ton)  down  to  the  "white  wood  stub  by  west  end  of  Pilgrims  Harbor  bridge"  and 
stakes  were  driven  every  eight >  rods  the  whole  distance  to  define  it.  Then  the 
selectmen  laid  out  a  highway  just  south  of  this  line  beginning  at  Farmington  line 
and  running  to  the  "road  that  goes  west  through  John  Merriam's  fann." 

In  1735  John  JMerriam  had  sequestered  land  for  a  road  running  through  his 
farm,  2  rods  wide,  beginning  at  the  Country  road  just  north  of  his  house  and 
running  west  past  Beaver  Dam  brook  now  known  as  Sodom  brook ;  this  was  the 
first  lay  out  of  West  Main  street.  What  was  done  by  the  selectmen  was  to  run 
the  road  now  known  as  Johnson  avenue  (down  the  steep  Johnson  hill  just  south 
of  the  Parker  Clock  Co.  shop)  until  it  came  to  West  Main  street,  a  short  distance 
west  of  Capitol  avenue.^  The  extreme  western  part  of  Johnson  avenue  begins 
at  Southington  line  and  is  skirlerl  for  half  a  mile  on  the  north  by  that  town  { 1745 
Farmington).  H  one  is  fortunate  enough  to  own  a  copy  of  the  1851  map  of  Mcr- 
iden (one  of  the  most  accurate  maps  of  Meriden  ever  made  and  particularly  val- 
uable because  it  delineates  the  whole  township)  and  will  take  a  long  ruler  and 
place  one  end  on  Johnson  avenue  and  the  other  end  on  the  bit  of  road  running 
in  front  of  the  Brenton  Hall  place  in  the  extreme  eastern  i)art  of  Meriden.  the 
ruler  will  show  tlie  ancient  northern  boundary  r>f  Wallingford  and  (ine  will  find 
this  line  coming  down  Johnson  avenue  and  thence  running  very  closely  to  the 
line  of  \\  est  Maiti  street  until  it  reaches  r.utler  street  when  the  line  cuts  <K>\vn 
through  the  hnildings  on  the  south  side  of  West  Main  street,  coming  out  in  fr<mt 
of  T,yon  &  i'illard  Co.'s  office,  over  the  bridge  and  through  the  south  part  of  the 
Baptist  church,  uj)  Liberty  street,  and  so  on  until  it  runs  in  front  of  the  Brenton 
Hall  place  t<;  Middletown,  just  as  it  was  laid  out  by  the  selectmen  so  long  a^.  to

stvely  by  a  vote  of  the  General  Assembly  passcil  at  tlie  May  session  in  ij6o,^ 
A  committee  reported  "that  upon  viewing  the  road  thro'  Wallingford  Plain  they 
found  the  same  too  narrow,  and  tlie  passing  of  travellers  greatly  hindered  and 
obstnicted  by  gates,  bars  and  fences  being  made  and  erected  across  said  highway 
and  that  they  are  of  opinion  that  said  ir^tcs.  fences  and  obstructions  should  be 
removed  an«l  a  highway  of  four  rods  wide  at  least  laid  open.  etc. 

"It  if,  therefore,  rcsohed  by  this  Assembly,  That  said  gates,  bars  and  fences 
l»e  removed,  and  the  highway  thro'  Wallingford  Plain  be  laid  open  at  least 
four  rods  wide,  and  the  town  of  Wallingford  is  hereby  retjnired  to  remove  said 
obstmctions  and  lay  open  said  way  accordingly,"  etc.,  etc.  Had  the  road  not 
!H?en  a  government  highway  the  Assembly  would  not  have  given  the  town  of 
Wallingford  directions  regarding  it.  It  was  invariably  called  Country  road 
until  about  the  year  1800.  After  that  date  it  was  called  the  Old  road  until  our 
modern  name  of  Colony  street  was  adopted,  which  has  exactly  the  same  signifi- 
cance as  the  earl)  name.  They  were  conveying  precisely  the  same  meaning  as 
when  we  sp!-,ik  of  a  highway  as  the  state  road.  There  was  another  Countr\-  road 
leading  from  Farmington  to  Wallingford  that  i)asscd  just  west  of  Mcridon  ter- 
ritory. There  was  only  one  other  in  Mtriden  that  had  a  name  in  those 
earfy  da\s.  and  that  was  Misery  road  or  path  leading  from  Wallingford  village 
to  Dogs  Misery. 

John  Merriam  Ixaight  the  P»ishop  farm  in  and  nia\  haw  found  the  liousc 
in  existence  or  built  it  ;  we  cannot  tell  which,  for  no  mention  is  made  oi  it  in  the 
<leed.  It  St  >od  on  the  west  side  of  the  Country  road,  the  north  end  extending 
north  as  far  a>  the  W  est  Main  street  car  tracks,  while  the  south  end  of  the  house 
would,  if  now  in  existence,  jut  into  the  store  of  X'ictor  Schmelzer,  No.  6  West 
Main  street,  pos>il)ly  touching  Griswold.  Richmond  &  Cdock  and  Church  Si  Morse, 
adjoining.  The  well  was  on  the  north  side  of  the  house  and  will  he  remembered 
by  many  as  the  old  well  that  once  was  located  in  the  junction  of  Colouv  and  Main 
streets,  and  w  hich  was  filled  up  more  than  thirty  years  ago.  The  old  house  had 
probably  disappeared  before  the  turnpike  (now  known  as  East  and  West  Main 
streets)  was  cut  througlt  in  1812.  The  extra  width  of  Main  street  west  of  the 
junction  with  Colony  street  is  due  to  the  addition  of  the  turnpike  to  the  road  two 
rods  wide  north  of  his  house  opened  by  Mr.  Merriam  in  1735.  He  made  this 
road  so  as  to  reach  his  saw  mill,  located  a  little  west  of  where  the  Waterhury  rail- 
toad  station  stands.  North  Colony  street  where  it  intersects  Main  street  was 
once  much  narrower  than  it  is  to-day.  In  1831  Dr.  Isaac  I.  Ilou^h  and  Major 
Elisha  A.  Cowles  conveyed  to  the  town  for  highway  purposes  a  strip  of  land 
twenty  feet  wide  on  the  west  side  of  Colony  where  it  joins  Main  and  extending 
north  about  300  feet.    This  was  in  front  of  the  present  location  of  the  Meriden

street  befftre  that  date  was  ahoiii  where  the  west  car  track  lies.  It  wa«  as  narrow 
as  South  Colony  street  where  it  enters  Main  street  between  the  Rotters  blix^k  and 
the  store  of  Griswold,  Riehmond  &  Glock.  Would  that  some  generous  soul  had 
made  a  like  gift  at  that  point !  To  properly  undcrstatid  the  situation  of  John  Mer- 
riam's  house  as  first  built  one  nuisl  divorce  from  one's  mind  East  and  West  Main 
street.  The  house  stood  in  a  wilderness  fronting  Colony  or  the  Country  road 
that  passed  through  Pilgrims*  Harbor,  and  turned  a  little  at  this  point,  so  as  to 
cross  the  brook.  It  faced  the  east  and  there  was  no  change  until  Mr. 
M'erriam  laid  out  the  narrow  road  just  nortli  of  his  well.  His  barn  stood  on  the 
other  side  of  the  Country  road,  in  wiiat  he  called  his  Harbor  Meadow,  and  judg- 
ing frnru  inference  only,  the  Rogers  hloek  must  stan<l  on  ])arl  of  its  site.  His  ap- 
ple orcliard  occupied  the  meadow  northwest  of  the  house  and  ran  up  the  hill  where 
the  (.  t>rner  school  stands  an<l  hack  of  the  First  Congregational  church.^  To  prop- 
erly luulersland  the  ancient  layout  of  this,  the  most  central  and  active  lni>ii)ess 
point  of  Meriden.  a  >kelch  has  been  prepared  which  will  show  at  a  glance  what  can- 
not be  so  clearlv  exi)lained  hv  words. 

It  is  evident  that  the  encroachiiient  on  Colony  street  had  been  nearly  as  great 
here  as  on  the  plain  in  Wallingford.  But  il  look  place  long  before  any  one  i\o\\ 
living  was  born. 

We  will  not  leave  John  Merriam-  (the  ancestor  of  all  the  Meriden  families  of 
that  name)  itntil  Wc  have  given  i  few  more  facts  concerning  his  career.  He  was 
bom  in  Lynn,  Mass..  April  25,  1671,  the  son  of  William,  of  that  place.  He  and 
his  brother  William  (three  years  older)  came  to  Connectiait  in  1716.  John  bought 
the  Bishop  farm,  as  already  told,  while  William  settled  in  Cheshire  in  the  vicinity 
of  Roaring  Brook  or  "West  Rocks,"  as  it  was  then  called.  John  brought  with  him 
his  half  grown  family  consisting  of  four  boys.  Nathaniel,  John,  William  and  Jo- 
seph, and  four  daughters,  Rebecca,  Ruth,  Abigail  and  Susanna.  The  family  took 
a  prominent  place  in  the  commimity  and  the  sons,  when  they  came  of  age,  built 
their  liomes  in  Meriden,  near  or  on  their  father's  farm,  and  here  they  lived  and 
brought  up  their  families  and  their  bodies  lie  buried  in  the  old  cemeteries  on  Meet- 
ing  House  hill  and  Broad  street.  There  are  four  of  the  old  Merriam  houses  still 
standing  in  Meriden:  Nathaniel,  the  oldest  son,  in  1730  bought  thirty  acres  of  the 
Jones  farm,  lying  east  of  his  father  s  home  and  probably  about  the  same  time  built 
his  home  which  until  about  the  year  1866  stood  on  the  present  site  of  St.  Andrew's 
church.   Here  Captain  Nathaniel  lived  and  died,  and  his  descendants  after  him ;

years  ago. 

The  second  Mcrriam  house  still  standing  is  a  very  ancient  one  to  all  appear- 
ances, and  was  certainly  built  as  early  as  1744  and  doubtless  earlier.  Age  is  de 
picted  in  every  angle  and  line,  but  the  great  oaken  beams  and  rafters  arc  still  as 
sound  as  the  day  they  were  cut  and  hewn  in  the  surrounding  forests,  and  bid  fair 
to  last  another  himdrcd  years  without  any  diminution  of  strength.  The  old  stone 
chimney  ad<!>  dignity  and  strength,  and  its  massive  base  covers  fifteen  feet  square

EAKLV  HISTORY.

This  house  was  built  by  Joseph,  the  youngest  son,  and  is  still  occupied  by  a 
descendant — Edward  M.  Mcrriam.  a  great-great-grandson.  It  stands  on  Johnson 
avenue,  perhajjs  hall  a  mile  west  of  the  junction  with  West  Main  street,  and 
it  is  necessary  to  climb  a  very  steep  hill  before  one  can  gaze  on  this  venerable  old 
monument  of  early  days.  The  writer  has  explored  it  in  all  its  ramifications  and 
it  bears  the  appearance  of  being  in  almost  the  original  condition  in  which  it  was

The  third  Merriani  house  has  drifted  from  its  ancient  moorings  and  is  now

moved  there  bv  the  late  Horace  T.  Smith.  If  is  so  changed  from  its  original  ap- 
pearance that  one  would  never  know  it.  William,  the  third  son.  lived  in  this 
house  and  it  stood  where  the  Home  Club  house  is  now  located,  at  the  corner  of 
Colony  and  Foster  streets.  His  father,  John,  presented  the  house  to  him  with  five 
and  one-hali  acres  of  land  on  March  28.  1735.  It  is  unquestionably  the  original 
house,  for  before  its  removal  and  alteration  it  bore  every  mark  of  antiquity,  and 
manv  will  remember  its  venerable  appearance.  Asaph,  the  grandson  of  William, 
here  lived  •^nd  reared  his  family  and  his  sons,  Selden,  Sidney,  Lauren^  and  Xoah.

The  foiinli  house,  biiiU  by  John.  Jr.,  is  in  a  condition  that  wouUl  distress  its 
builder  could  he  see  it  as  it  stands  fronting  the  street — its  joists  and  beams,  like 
the  ribs  of  some  vertebrate  monster  of  prehistoric  days,  exposed ;  and  showing 
through  them  the  interior  is  revealed  to  him  who  looks. 

The  old  house  is  certainly  a  wreck  and  as  it  is  now  would  be  much  better  de- 
cently buried.  It  stands  on  the  west  side  of  South  Colony  street  a  sht>rt  distance 
south  of  the  plant  of  The  Meriden  Rlectric  Light  Co.  The  lot  was  bought  by 
John.  Jr..  in  1737.  of  Stephen  At  water,  and  doubtless  he  built  the  house  soon 
after.    He  lived  there  for  several  vears.  but  after  his  father's  death  he  sold  it

and  it  went  through  a  succession  of  hands,  finally  becoming  the  home  of  Christo- 
pher Atwater.  I-.arly  in  the  last  century  the  pro]>erty  was  acquired  by  Capt.  Lit- 
tle. Of  him  children  used  to  tell  mysterious  stories  with  bated  breath.  After-

owner  and  later  it  became  the  home  of  Kate  McGlynn.  It  is  now  owned  by  John 
W.  Coe  and  I'mma  L.  Cook. 

A  fifth  ?derriam  house  was  standing  until  within  a  year  or  two  at  the  west  side 
of  the  junction  of  Capitol  avenue  and  West  Main  street.  It  was  built  probably 
about  1760  by  Joseph,  Jr.,  the  son  of  the  first  Joseph.  By  people  of  the  last  cen- 
tury it  was  known  as  the  Asahel  Merriam  place.  He  died  many  years  ago  and  of 
late  vears  the  house  had  been  deserted.

EARLY  HISTORY. 


87 


The  question  may  arise,  how  can  we  be  certain  that  these  houses  are  the  ones 
actually  built  and  occupied  by  these  different  men?  Of  course  there  is  no  way  to 
absolutely  prove  it.  We  have  only  probability  to  guide  us.  When  an  ancient 
house  occupies  what  is  known  to  be  the  site  of  the  original  one,  the  inference  is 
that  the  present  one  is  the  original,  without  it  can  be  shown  that  the  first  one 
was  destroyed  by  fire  or  was  grossly  neglected.  There  is  no  reason  why  one  of 
these  old  houses  should  not  last  indefinitely  providing  it  has  good  care.  The  main 
cause  of  the  destruction  of  old  dwellings  was  that  frequently  there  was  no  ven< 
tilation  in  tht  cellar.  This  caused  the  floor  beams  to  decay  and  took  the  life  from 
the  foundation  walls.  In  many  cases  the  floor  beams  and  sills  have  been 
replaced  by  new  ones  and  the  foundation  walls  reconstructed  and  recemented.  One 
house  in  town,  almost  positively  known  to  have  been  erected  as  early  as  1740, 
is  in  the  best  state  of  preservation  of  any  ancient  dwelling  in  Meriden.  This  is  be- 
cause it  has  always  had  the  best  of  care.  With  proper  attention  one  of  these  old 
homes  ought  to  last  500  years.  The  reason  they  do  not  get  such  care  is  because 
people  want  new  homes,  and  the  old  ones  have  been  sold  to  those  who  have  not 
been  able  to  expend  much  money  in  their  preservation.  There  are  houses  in  Hart- 
ford, Farmington,  New  London  and  other  places  that  are  known  to  have  been 
built  250  years  ago,  and  they  are  still  capable  of  lasting  much  longer.  There  is  one 
feature  al)oiit  the  ancient  dwellings  of  Meriden  that  makes  it  hard  to  form  an  esti- 
mate of  their  ai^e.  In  the  towns  mentioned  mud  or  clay  mortar  in  foundation  walls 
and  chimneys  is  a  sign  of  a  very  early  building.'  but  in  Aleriden  this  method  of  con- 
struction was  followed  up  to  the  beginning  of  the  last  century.

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


CHAPTER  VIII. 

In  the  story  of  Meriden  Farm,  related  in  Chapter  II.,  we  learned  that  Edward 
Higbee  made  a  purchase  of  a  large  tract  of  land  of  Seaukctt,  Indian.  This  was  in 
the  year  1664  while  he  was  probably  a  tenant  on  Mr.  Gilbert's  farm.  In  1668  the 
colony  confirmed  this  purchase  by  a  grant  that  was  much  contracted  from  the 
boundaries  given  by  Seaukett ;  but  still  Mr.  Higbee  and  his  successor,  Mr.  Cole, 
who  bought  the  title  in  1673,  were  in  actual  possession  of  at  least  800  acres  not- 
withstanding the  colonial  grant  of  only  257  acres.  In  other  words,  while  in  ac- 
tual legal  control  of  the  colonial  grant  they  were  squatters  on  the  rest  of  the  farm.' 
Apparently  no  house  was  standing  on  Mr.  Higbee's  farm  in  1668  but  when  he 
sold  it  to  Henry  Cole  in  1673  the  deed  included  "housing." 

The  Meriden  boy's^  composition  written  nearly  sixty  years  ago,  already  qubted, 
said  that  the  house  of  Hiram  Foster  was  built  in  1669.  As  the  first  Meriden  an- 
cestor of  Mr.  Foster  acquired  a  large  part  of  this  old  Cole  or  Higbee  farm,  and 
was  the  first  purchaser  to  buy  any  portion  of  it,  we  may  safely  take  it  for  granted 
that  the  house  occupied  by  Hiram  Foster,  which  stood  on  Colony  street  south  of 
the  junction  with  Kensington  avenue,  at  what  is  now  No.  464,  was  the  one  built 
by  Edward  Higbee  about  1669 ;  the  date  given  in  the  composition  fits  in  exactly 
with  the  records  and  is  another  proof  of  the  accuracy  of  the  schoolboy's  informa- 
tion. This  old  house  was  no  longer  in  existence  when  the  composition  was  writ* 
ten  and  the  present  Foster  house  occupies  the  same  site. 

The  residence  of  Mr.  Cole  on  this  farm  made  no  impression  on  the  records 
until  his  death  on  May  12,  1676.  In  that  year  the  inventory  of  his  estate  was 
filed  in  the  ronrt  of  probate  in  New  TTavcn.  Although  the  owner  of  so  large  a 
farm  his  wealth  was  not  large,  for  the  land  had  probahly  been  only  slightly  im- 
proved and  land  was  worth  but  little  until  it  had  been  cleared  of  forests  and  broken 
under  the  plough  and  until  there  was  sufficient  population  to  make  a  demand  for 
farms.  The  inventory  is  curious  and  interesting  for  it  shows  how  simple  was  tlic 
life  of  these  early  pioneers  and  how  few  of  the  comforts  of  life  were  in  their 
possession.

Henry  Cole  was  a  cooper,  which  accounts  for  the  tools  and  large  number  of 
boxes,  barrels,  casks,  etc.  It  is  interesting  to  notice  that  there  is  no  mention  of 
a  bedstead  and  that  the  total  value  of  this  large  farm  of  at  least  800  acres  was 
only  £20.  The  low  valuation  of  the  bear  and  deer  skins  show  that  '*Hennerie'* 
(as  the  old  records  sometimes  quaintly  called  him)  did  not  wander  far  from  his 
door  to  obtain  them.  The  mother  with  her  ten  children  continued,  probably,  to 
reside  on  the  farm  until  they  were  old  enough  to  marry  and  move  away.  She 
then  resided  in  Saybrook  where  she  died  in  1687.  In  that  year  a  document  was 
drawn  up  and  signed  by  the  various  heirs,  which  appears  on  the  probate  records 
in  New  Haven  in  1692.

staking  the  old  north  bounds  of  Wallingford  in  1744  was  because  disputes  had 
arisen  between  the  farn.ers  relative  to  land  divisions.  These  contentions  lasted 
some  time,  and  in  the  year  1748  it  was  found  neccssar\  to  take  the  de]«isition  of

This  document  shows  that  there  was  another  road  that  was  considered  by  some 
as  the  "Way  that  Goeth  to  New  Haven."  James  Cole  is  probably  referred  to 
and  his  home  was  at  the  comer  of  Colony  street  and  Kensington  avenue.  To  go 
to  meeting  for  him  meant  to  go  to  Wallingford  for  there  was  no  chuich  in  Meriden 
until  long  after  that  early  date.  If  he  was  looking  for  a  short  cut  or  a  way  to  avoid 
the  swamp  and  muck  and  mire  that  formerly  existed  at  the  Colony  street  cross- 
ing of  Harbor  Brook  and  to  escape  the  sand  flats  beyond  Yalesville«  the  natural 
way  to  go  would  lie  somewhere  near  the  present  line  of  Center  street,  and  after 
the  summit  of  the  hill  was  gained  then  down  Broad^  and  Curtis  streets,  and  so  on 
to  Wallingford.  When  what  is  now  called  Curtis  street  was  laid  out  in  1721,  the 
records  state  that  it  "goes  as  the  road  now  goes  up  Pole  Hill'*'  and  is  6  rods  wide, 
and  nms  north  to  the  end  of  the  bounds,  or  ''Wallingford  North  bounds."  In 
other  words  the  selectmen  were  following  an  ancient  road  and  were  merely  adopt- 
ing it  as  one  of  the  town  highways;  and  when  Rev.  Theophilus  Hall  laid  out 
Broad  street  from  Curtis  street  to  the  new  meeting  house  in  1752,  which  he  was 
then  building,  he  simply  sequestered  this  same  path  or  road  that  led  just  west  of 
the  church  and  then  down  to  Liberty  street — the  Wallingford  north  bounds. 
Could  this  path  from  North  Colony  street  down  Center,  Broad  and  Curtis  streets 
have  been  in  existence  before  Capt.  Yale  marked  it  out  for  Mr.  Cole  to  go  to 
meeting  ?  i  t  he  iaid  it  out.  he  was  laying  out  in  the  Center  street  part  a  path  in  ter- 
ritory that  tlid  not  belong  to  Wallingford  until  nearly  fifty  years  later,'  If  he 
was  marking  out  a  highway  that  had  already  been  in  existence  he  was  merely 
performing  the  part  of  a  surveyor,  which  position  he  held.  Now  there  was  a  road 
other  than  Colony  street,  evidently  at  an  earlier  date,  that  is  mentioned  in  the 
anciert  rect)r.U.

EARLY  HISTORY. 


93 


At  a  General  Court  for  New  Haven  March  I2,  1654-55,  "Mr.  Goodyear  was 
desired  when  he  goes  to  Conecticote  to  g:o  the  new  way  &  take  notice  of  it  and 
let  the  Court  understand  how  he  finds  it  &  that  if  they  see  cause  they  may  send 
futtx  rrcn  to  mark  it  ovt."  The  southern  boundary  of  the  Cole  farm  was  cor- 
uinly  almost,  if  not  quite,  on  a  line  drawn  due  west  from  Center  street  bridge, 
h  is  a  problem  that  is  not  now  possible  to  solve.  But  certaiiil>  the  evidence  looks 
as  if  Mr.  Higbee  thought  that  about  where  Center  street  bridge  is  now  located  wa& 
where  the  **way  that  goeth  to  New  Haven"  was  located. 

The  beloved  biethren  and  trusty  friend,  Nathaniel  Royce,  did  not  soon  find 
customers  or  purchasers  for  the  Cole  farm.  The  power  of  attorney  authorizing 
them  to  sell  the  farm  was  executed  in  1687  and  not  until  January  29,  1707-8  did 
they  sell  a  rocxl.  On  that  date  they  sold  to  Bartholomew  Foster,  of  Wethersfield. 
ship  caqienter,  "2-10  of  that  howle  farm  known  as  Cools  Farme  set  on  Country 
road  near  South  side  of  Belcher's  Farme.*'  Mr.  Foster  was  originally  from 
Gkwcester,  Mass.,  where  he  was  bom  about  1649,  where  he  remained  until 
i^Kj6:  he  was  engaged  in  the  ship  building  business.  Then  he  came  to 
Wethersfield  and  made  a  purchase  of  John  Curtis  of  a  piece  of  land  with  a  "Man* 
.Mon  house*'  on  it.  There  he  probably  made  the  acquaintance  of  some  of  the  Cole 
family  and  was  persuaded  to  buy  a  part  of  the  farm  in  Meriden.^  He  bought 
niore  during  the  two  or  three  years  following.  Bartholomew  Foster  came  to  Mer- 
idcn  with  his  two  sons.  Thomas  and  Timothy,  and  the  family  has  always  been 
prominent  and  influential.  When  the  church  was  formed  Bartholomew  was  ac- 
tive and  conspicuous  in  the  negotiations  and  served  on  various  committees,  such 
as  purchasing  a  farm  for  the  new  minister,  etc  When  considering  these  two  ad- 
joiaing  farms  of  the  Fosters  and  Merriams  and  their  neighbors  the  thought  strikes 
one  that  the  name  of  a  prominent  manufacturing  company  of  to-day  applies  with 
peculiar  descriptive  force  to  the  community  on  Colony  or  Country  road  in  those 
early  days,  viz.  Foster.  Merriam  &  Co. 

Meantime,  an  agreement  appeared  on  the  Wallingford  records  under  date  of 
March  12.  1708,  whereby  the  Cole  heirs  divided  the  farm  into  ten  parts,  five 
I>arts  on  each  side  of  the  Country  road.  It  would  be  tedious  to  follow  up  the 
different  transfers  but  we  will  notice  one  or  two  items  relating  to  the  farm  that 
are  curious:  One  of  the  heirs  was  Samuel  Taylor,  of  Wethersfield,  who  had  mar- 
ried a  daughter  of  Mr.  Cole,  His  share  of  i-io  was  80  acres  and  it  lay  in  the 
>outhem  part  adjoining  the  Merriam  farm  on  the  south.  Mr.  Taylor  died  in 
Fel»n]ar)%  171 1-12,  and  his  portion  of  the  Cole  farm  was  inventoried  as  "Farm

For  nearly  a  hundred  years  if  there  was  a  transfer  of  any  part  of  this  great 
farm  of  Henry  Cole's  the  deed  always  mentioned  that  the  land  was  a  part  of  Colt 
farm,  l»y  the  year  1725.  after  two  or  three  transfers,  that  part  of  the  Cole  farni 
that  had  belonj^ed  to  Samuel  Taylor  became  the  property  of  Josiah  Robinsoa

able  to  buiM  the  whole  foundation  of  his  present  house  and  wall  up  the  bnxjk  on 
l»oth  sides,  that  flows  in  the  rear,  and  had  a  quantity  of  stone  left  to  sell.  Of  all 
die  ancient  houses  in  Merideii,  it  was  the  largest  so  far  as  we  know. 

Mr.  Robinson'  was  an  important  man  in  the  community  and  for  those  times 
had  considerable  wealth.  He  was  captain  of  the  train  band  and  was  always 
called  Capt.  Robinson,  and  in  1750  was  one  of  the  delegates  to  the  General  As- 
sembly for  the  town  of  Wallingford.  I'or  many  years  his  house  was  the  tavern  of 
the  parish.-'  He  had  five  slaves  at  the  time  of  his  death  named  Phoebe,  Lennnon, 
Rose.  Primus  and  Jennie,  who  probably  helped  take  care  of  the  farm  or  waited  on 
^icsts  in  the  inn.  The  house  in  its  day  must  have  been  a  fine  one  and  its  size  made 
it  impctsing  even  in  age.  The  addition  in  the  rear  was  i>erhaps  made  by  (ieneral 
Walter  P*ooth  who  owned  and  lived  in  the  house  from  18 16  to  1843.  It  was 
<loiibtless  a  tin  shop  as  he,  in  his  younger  days,  was  engaged  in  that  business.

The  first  notice  we  find  that  Capt.  Josiah  Robinson's  house  was  an  inn  appears 
in  the  record.=  of  Xcw  Haven  county  court  in  1751.  At  the  April  session  each 
\car  licenses  were  issued  and  duly  recorded.  In  1763  .Ames'  -\lmanac  began  to 
give  a  list  of  the  diflPerent  post  roads  and  towns  between  Xew  York  and  IJoston 
with  the  names  of  the  best  taverns. 

Robinson's  is  the  only  name  given  for  Meriden  and  it  continues  so  until  the

Register.'*  an  accurate  and  reliable  publication  full  of  statistics  relat- 
ing: to  Connecticut.  Capt.  Robinson  died  in  176O  and  left  an  estate  | 
valued  at  £1636.  He  owned  261  acres  of  land,  but  not  in  a  connected  tract. 
He  had  a  law  library  containing  eleven  volumes,  so  that  he  probably  occupied  | 
somewhat  the  position  of  a  legal  luminary  among  his  neighbors.  Back  of  the 
house,  which  was  valued  at  £165,  stood  a  barn,  a  horse  house,  a  Dutch  barn- 
and  a  malt  i^oiisc.  The  inn  was  continued  by  his  son,  Josiah,  until  1771  when  he 
died  also.  He  had  evidently  lived  a  rapid  pace  or  been  unfortunate  in  his  in- 
vestments, for  his  estate  was  found  to  be  insolvent  and  a  list  of  his  creditors 
contained  the  name  of  almost  every  man  in  the  parish.  The  two  widows  (the 
elder  being  the  daughter  of  John  Merriani)  continued  the  tavern  for  some  time. 
It  then  went  into  a  succession  of  hands  who  all  ran  it  under  the 
name  of  "Robinson's :"  among  them  Caleb  Bull.  Seth  D'Wolf  and  Giles 
Foster.  Finally  Jotham  Mitchell  owned  and  lived  in  it  until  his  son- 
in-law.  General  Walter  Booth,  l)()u^rht  it  in  1816,  Then  its  fame  as 
an  inn  ceased  and  it  was  used  by  General  Booth  only  as  a  residence 
until  1843,  when  he  sold  it  to  Deacon  Elah  Camp.  He  sold  it  and  one  acre  of 
land  to  Keyes  S.  Hathaway  in  1852.  Mr.  Hathaway  lived  there  until  1876  ancl 
then  sold  it  to  E.  J.  Doolittle.  wbo  pulled  it  down.  .Vorth  of  Cajn.  Robinson's 
farm  was  a  strip  of  land  belonging  to  Bartholomew  Foster,  which  ran  up  to  the 
road  that  is  now  called  Britannia  street.  North  of  this  was  a  tract  of  some  140 
acres  which  was  taken  by  Aaron  Goffe,  of  Wethersfield,  in  the  settlement  ni  the 
Cole  estate.  Nothing  was  done  with  the  land  until  Solomon  Goffe  bought  his 
brothers'  interest  in  the  property  in  171 1  after  his  father's  death.  The  deed,  re- 
corded only  in  Wethersfield,  reads  that  the  farm  is  in  the  woods  and  bounds  west 
on  the  Country  road  and  extends  north,  east  and  south.  Truly  a  somewhat 
indefinite  description.  Mr.  Goffe  moved  to  Meriden  and  built  his  house  in  171 1. 
that  is  still  on  the  east  side  of  Colony  street  a  little  north  of  the  Grisvvold  street 
junction  and  is  now  known  as  the  Samuel  Clark  place.  It  is  undoubtedly  the 
oldest  house  in  Meriden  and  certainly  has  a  venerable  appearance.  We  know  noth- 
ing about  Mr.  CofTc  except  that  he  lived  here  ten  years,  married  a  Wallingford  girl. 
Mary  Doolittle.  and  the  birth  of  one  child  is  recorded.  In  1721  he  sold  the  place  to 
Tliomas  Andrews,  of  Wallingford,  who,  apparently,  lived  there  Tintil  1729,  when 
he  sold  it  to  Jonathan  ColMn?.  of  Middlctown.  The  old  house  was  enlarc:ed.  pcrhap> 
soon  after  iMr.  Collins  bought  it,  for  the  addition  looks  as  old  as  the  rest,  but

hat  there  has  been  an  addition  is  plain  to  be  seen.  The  dormer  windows  in  the 
Did  gambrel  roof  are  probably  a  later  addition,  and  there  have  been  apparently 
»ome  changes  in  the  interior.  That  the  house  is  the  one  built  by  Solomon  Goffe 
ivill  be  apparent  to  any  one  who  will  examine  the  old  rafters  and  the  huge  floor 
L>eams.  The  chimneys  in  the  cellar  are  enormous  and  the  stones  were  cemented 
with  clay  mixed  with  straw  as  were  the  foundation  walls,  a  sure  sign  of  an  early 
house  ;  another  indication  of  age  is  the  split  laths,  used  in  very  early  houses. 
The  Collins  family  continued  to  own  the  house  until  1796  when  a  son,  Jonathan,

1806  when  he  sold  it  to  his  son-in-law.  Partrick  Clark.  The  Clark  family  own 
the  house  and  farm  to  this  day  although  they  no  longer  live  in  it.  It  is  now 
rented  to  a  German  named  Charles  Hackbarth. 

Jonathan  Collins  was  the  son  of  Robert,  of  Middletown,  and  the  father  came 
to  Meriden  two  years  earlier  than  the  son.

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


In  the  settlement  of  Henry  Co1c*s  estate  the  son.  John,  who  was  a  sclux)!  teach- 
er in  r.oston,  took  ^^50  acres  on  the  west  side  of  Country  road  just  opposite  the 
Solomon  Goffe  farm.  It  had  a  frontage  on  the  road  of  2,270  feet,  and  extended 
south  nearly  to  the  Mcridcn  I'^irearms  plant  and  ran  north  quite  a  ways  Ik- 
yond  the  VVaterbury  railroad  crossing.  It  extended  in  the  west  quite  to 
Hole  mountain.  In  1721  Mr.  Cole  sold  the  farm  to  Samuel  Cutler  and  Dr.  Eben- 
czer  ("oojHT,  and  these  gentlemen  ai)parently  huilt  a  house  on  it  and  ]>robably 
lived  in  it.  Dr.  Cooper  was  so  far  as  we  can  Icara  the  first  physician  10  live  in 
Meriden.  The  deed  calls  him  a  ""phititian."  He  afterwards  live<l  in  the  sor.ih- 
eastern  part  of  Meriden  and  on  December  30,  1739,  Thcophilus  Hall  bap- 
tized his  son  Thomas.  Beyond  tliese  three  entries  we  know  nothing  ahnvit  him. 
In  1727  Butler  and  Cooper  sold  the  farm  to  R  >1»lii  Collins,^  of  Middlct»'wn. 
He  came  here  with  his  two  younger  sons,  Rohen  and  Edward.  The  lioust.  be 
bought  w  ith  the  farm  was  late  in  the  century  sold  to  Joseph  Twiss.  of  Cheshire, 
the  ancestor  of  the  Twiss  family  in  Meriden.  It  stood  near  llie  northern  limit? 
of  the  farm  close  to  the  Country  road  and  this  part  of  the  farm  was  some  ye.ir> 
since  the  links  of  the  -Mcridcn  Golf  Club.  The  old  house  was  destroyed  by  ftrc  a 
great  many  years  ago. 

In  1737  Rohert  Collins  gave  to  his  son,  Edward,  a  tract  of  land  containing 
100  acres,  in  the  southern  part  of  the  farm,  and  proh.ihly  very  soon  after  Kdward 
built  his  house,  fur  on  Aug.  29,  1738,  he  married  Susannah  Peck,  of  Walling- 
ford.  antl  his  home  was  in  the  house  now  occupied  by  Junius  S.  Norton,  at 
596  Culuny  street. 

The  house  is  a  very  ancient  one,  mi(ine>tionahly,  although  it  has  been  greatly 
altered.  The  picture  shows  it  as  it  was  some  twenty  years  ago.  Even  then  it 
had  been  greatly  changed  from  its  original  condition.  The  front  door  was  at 
first  in  the  nu'ddle  of  the  street  side,  but  at  the  date  of  the  picture  was  on  tlit 
south  side.  The  old  house  is  in  somewhat  the  condition  of  the  boy's  jack  knife: 
a  new  blade  and  a  new  handle,  but  still  tlie  same  old  knife.  The  great  chiinnev 
cemented  by  clav  mortar,  and  the  old  split  laths  still  to  be  seen  in  the  attic,  an- 
unquestinnable  evidences  of  its  age.  Here  was  born  on  February  16,  1741,  Dan 
Collins,  afterwards  known  as  Capt.  Dan,  who  was  a  very  prominent  tig\ire  in 
Meriden  early  in  the  last  centurv.  He  married  in  1774  Susannah,  the  daughter 
of  Esq.  Aaron  Lyman,  and  lived  in  the  old  Lyman  home  that  stood  on  East 
Main  street,  cast  of  Broad  street,  ami  was  pulled  (ie»wn  m.uu  yr-ir-;  ago.  Tliat 
farm  is  still  Collins  property.  The  Edward  Collins  house  had  a  munber  of  own- 
ers before  it  came  into  the  possession  of  Mr.  Xorton.  It  was  sold  late  in  the 
eighteenth  century  to  Reuben  Stocking  and  by  him  in  a  few  years  to  Ira  Yale.

It  later  became  the  home  of  a  Mr.  Tennant  and  Mr.  Norton  bought  it  of  the  late 
Eli  Butler.  North  of  the  Collins  fann  on  the  same  side  of  the  road  was  another 
large  tract  of  land  reaching  to  the  road  or  laneway  that  runs  west  from  the  resi- 
dence of  Edward  Higginson,  already  described  as  the  southern  boundary  of  the 
Belcher  or  Meriden  Farm.  It  contained  400  acres  and  extended  west  400  rods, 
or  6,600  feet,  and  had  a  frontage  on  Colony  street  of  150  rods  or  2,475  ^^et. 

The  Cole  heirs  sold  it  in  1710  to  John  Hurroughs,  of  Stratfield,  a  grandson 
of  Edward  Higbee,  a  previous  owner.  Burroughs'  son,  Edward,  sold  to 
Richard  Hubbell   120  acres  of  this  land — the  south  part — and  he  to  John 


EDWARD   COLLINS'  HOUSE. 


Dcnnie,  a  rich  P.oston  merchant  in  1734,  and  Mr.  Dcnnio  immediately  built  a 
house  that  is  still  standing,  once  called  the  Stephen  Bailey  place,  but  by  many 
known  as  the  Grimes  house.  It  stands  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  north  of  the 
Waterbury  railroad  crossing  on  the  west  side  of  Colony  street  on  a  high  bank 
with  a  stone  wall  in  front,  and  is  shaded  by  several  large  maple  trees.  That  Mr. 
Dcnnie  never  lived  here  is  certain,  and  he  must  have  leased  the  farm  to  some  one 
in  Meriden.  The  house  does  not  look  as  old  as  it  is,  for  it  has  been  newly  clap- 
boarded  and  painted.  But  let  any  one  examine  it  from  cellar  to  attic  as  the  writer 
has  done,  and  he  will  soon  be  convinced  of  its  age. 


A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


In  some  respects  it  is  the  oldest  appearing  house  in  Meriden.  It  is  very  prim- 
itive in  its  construction,  and  on  the  second  Hoor  only  one  room  has  been  done 
off  and  that  is  on  the  south  side.  On  the  north  side  an  addition  has  been  built, 
very  roughly,  in  such  a  way  that  the  ancient  oak  clapboards  are  part  of  the  inside 
finish.  The  inside  walls  are  mostly  boarded  over  and  around  the  mantels  there 
is  some  paneling.  There  was  originally  no  ventilation  in  the  cellar  and  as  a  re- 
sult the  huge  oak  sills  and  many  of  the  floor  beams  decayed  and  have  had  to  be 
replaced  by  new  ones.  Late  in  the  eighteeenth  century  the  farm  was  bought  by 
Stephen  P»ailcy  (1795).  and  remained  in  that  family  for  many  years.  h 
is  now  the  property  of  William  Nelson  and  is  occupied  by  a  Dane  named  James 
Rasmersson.

STEPHEN  B.MLEY's  HOUSE. 

The  northern  part  of  this  400  acre  tract,  belonging  to  John  Burroughs  origi- 
nally, eventually  became  the  property  of  the  Yalcs  and  was  by  them  sold  to  the 
Edwards  family  of  Middletown.  On  the  old  road  described  as  running  west 
from  the  old  Eli  Way,  or  now  Edward  Higginson  farm,  stands  a  poor,  forlorn 
old  house,  bereft  of  its  sides  and  looking  the  picture  of  desolation.  It  stands 
about  three  hundred  feet  west  from  Colony  road  and  is  on  the  north  side  of  the 
old  road  or  laneway.  It  is  shaded  by  large  maple  trees  and  has  a  forbidding 
and  sinister  aspect,  as  if  its  old  walls  had  once  hidden  some  mystery.  It  is  a 
very  old  house  and  was  built  by  one  of  the  Belchers,  probably  by  the  governor.

and  thus  dales  previous  to  1741.  It  was  standing  when  the  farm  was  bought 
by  John  Yale. 

Here  Hvcd  the  Jonathan  Edwards  family  for  many  years,  and  their  interests 
seem  to  have  been  more  closely  identified  with  Middlctown  than  with  Meriden 
parish.  At  the  end  of  the  eighteenth  century  the  farm  was  bought  by  James 
Avery  Hough,  and  the  old  house  was  identified  with  that  family  for  many  years. 
In  the  middle  of  the  last  century  it  was  the  home  of  Cyrenus  Booth,  For  several 
years  now  the  h.orsc  has  been  abandoned  and  it  is  only  a  question  of  time 
before  it  will  follow  the  way  of  all  the  earth. 

On  Colony  street  stood,  until  some  ten  or  fifteen  years  ago,  an  old  house 
known  as  the  Eli  Way  place,  which  has  been  mentioned  many  times  as  opposite

the  old  Kensington  road.  In  the  division  of  the  Cole  estate  a  tract  of  50  acres 
was  sold  to  Thomas  Miles,  blacksmith,  in  171 3.  In  every  case  when  the  Cole 
heirs  sold  a  portion  of  their  farm  it  was  necessary  for  the  purchaser  to  pay  toll 
to  W'allingford  by  buying  her  Indian  right  acquired  from  Adam  Puit,  so  that 
the  Cole  title  was  not  considered  valid  without  buying  Wallingford's  title.  Gen- 
erally this  secondary  charge  was  paid  by  the  Cole  heirs.  Thomas  Miles  was  no 
exception  to  the  rule  and  we  find  him  buying  or  at  least  acquiring  a  secondary

deed  from  Walling^ord's  commissioners.  His  north  line  abutted  on  the  Belcher 
estate  and  the  farm  was  on  the  Country  road  on  the  east  side  and  the  old  Way 
house  stood  on  this  tract.  That  he  lived  on  the  farm  is  not  probable  for  when 
he  disposed  of  it  in  1724  to  James  Scovill,  of  Middletown,  no  house  is  mentioned 
in  the  deed.  But  when  Mr.  ScoviH  sold  the  farm  to  Eden  Burroughs  in  1733, 
a  dwelling  house  was  included.  As  the  Way  house  was  very  ancient  in  appear- 
ance  it  is  possibly  the  one  built  by  Mr.  Scovill.  The  farm  was  S(Ad  in  1742  to  Asa 
Yale  and  by  him  in  1745  to  Samuel  Yale.  Without  stopping  to  give  all  the  trans^ 
fers  we  will  state  that  in  1796  it  was  sold  to  Elisha  Cowles,  the  father  of  Major 
Elisha  A.  and  Roswell  Cowles. 

Mr.  Cowles  was  a  mason  by  trade  and  probably  made  many  of  the  old  grave- 
stones in  the  Broad  street  cemeter)'  and  doubtless  many  of  the  old  chimneys  and 
foundations  in  Meriden  were  the  results  of  his  labors.  North  of  this  house  on 
the  west  side  of  the  road  there  is  a  ledge  w-hich  looks  as  if  much  stone  had  been 
quarried  from  it.  After  his  death  the  house  and  farm  was  sold  by  the  heirs  to 
John  B.  Douglass  and  it  did  not  become  a  \\  ay  place  until  sold  to  Elilby  Avery 
Hough  in  1823.  To  the  writer  it  seems  probable  that  the  house  was  built  by 
Elisha  Cowles,  the  old  oiie  having  disappeared  in  the  description  in  otic  deed. 

Just  south  of  the  Jonathan  Collins  farm,  now  the  Samuel  (  place,  and 
north  of  the  strip  owned  by  Josiali  Robinson,  was  a  sniaU  laiin  01  thirty  acres 
belonging  to  Jacob  i'arson>  ;  it  fronted  west  on  Colony  street  and  there  was  a 
house  on  it  that  disappeared  long  ago.  Parsons  bought  it  of  Thomas  Andrews 
in  1722,  who  at  that  time  was  the  owner  of  the  lann  that  he  later  sold  to  Jon- 
athan Collins. 

In  the  n.jrthern  part  of  the  Burroughs  tract  of  400  acres  on  the  west  side  of 
the  Country  road,  and  just  south  of  the  I3elcher  farm,  was  a  small  tract  of  some 
thirty  acres  that  was  abont  1720  sold  to  Timothy  Jerome  and  on  which  he  was 
living  at  thai  time,  although  the  tract  was  shortly  after  acquired  by  the  Edwards 
family. 

The  first  farms  and  houses  on  Colony  street  have  now  been  located  and  it  can 
be  seen  that  the  owners  formed  a  community  by  themselves.  I'ntil  1728  the  ter- 
ritory was  not  fornialiy  made  a  part  of  W'allingford,  although  paying  taxes  in 
that  town.  These  farms  were  far  a\\a\  from  VVallingford  church  and  all  the 
conveniences  of  that  community,  and  the  situation  must  have  at  times  been  irk- 
some. On  October  8.  1724,  they  presented  the  following  petition  to  the  General 
Court  then  assembled  at  New  Haven:

That  this  petition  was  granted  cannot  be  learned. 

Ekaztr  Asiiinuall  was.  at  this  time,  a  tenant  on  Meriden  or  Stone  House 
farm,  and  it  is  probable  liiat  David  Rich  was  also.  Thus  we  have  followed  up  the 
grants  to  the  difFeretit  owners  and  located  all  the  lanns  on  Colony  street  and  in 
several  instances  the  titles  have  been  carried  to  the  present  day.  Meriden  was 
settled  in  a  niaa;u  r  so  different  from  most  Xew  England  towns  that  it  has  seemed 
to  the  wrircr  better  to  locate  the  different  farms  in  the  jxarish  of  Meriden,  so 
that  when  v.e  come  to  the  formation  of  the  church  and  scan  the  roll  of  those  faith- 
ful pioneers  who  wished  a  church  in  their  very  midst,  we  may  know  who  they 
were,  wher.'  they  lived,  and  have  a  lair  general  idea  of  the  topojjraphy  of  the 
cnnntry.  To  the  wiiic:  the  old  houses  are  of  a  peculiar  interest  for  they  con- 
nect us  with  the  past  as  nothing  else  docs.  H  one  of  our  forefathers  could  return 
to  his  foniKT  li'  ine  and  walk  about  our  streets  busy  with  tlie  hum  of  mod- 
ern life,  how  nmch  would  he  find  as  he  left  it?  The  old  highways  have  changed 
their  courses,  or  been  closed  and  new  ones  opened.  The  whole  face  or  topog- 
raphy of  the  country  he  would  find  greatly  changed.  Where  was  woodlatid,  now 
lie  broad  fields,  and  where  he  left  meadows  and  pastures,  are  blocks  of  houses 
and  factories.  With  the  exception  of  the  eternal  hills  standing  like  sentinels  on 
each  side  of  the  town,  and  a  few  old  houses,  nothing  would  be  as  it  was  when 
he  closed  his  eyts  i(»rever. 

Something  of  palhoi.  should  swell  within  our  breasts  as  we  gaze  on  these  old 
homes,  the  only  visible  reminders  of  an  age  that  is  gone,  of  names  that  have

vanished  and  of  hands  that  have  been  dust  these  hundred  years.  They  are  the 
only  witnesses  of  a  life  that  we  know  no  more — a  life  of  simple  pleasures  and 
primitive  conditions.  The  phantoms  of  many  generations  pass  before  our  eyes, 
generations  that  were  once  as  we  are  now,  busy  with  their  ceaseless  round  of  joy 
and  sorrow,  of  marrying  and  burying,  of  feasting  and  mourning,  of  laughter 
and  weqjing  and  of  play  and  work.  And  these  old  houses  have  seen  it  all. 
Through  the  door  of  each  have  passed  the  husband  and  wife,  newly  wed,  the 
first  to  call  it  home ;  and  then,  children's  feet  have  pattered  through,  and  chil- 
dren grown  to  men  and  women  have  hastened  hence  to  build  them  other  homes. 
And  so,  one  generation  after  another,  they  have  come  and  gone,  and  still  the 
old  house  stands,  perhaps  sheltering  people  of  an  alien  race,  and  sometimes  de- 
scended to  uses  that,  are  low.  And  the  names  of  those  who  built  them  and  first 
lived  within  their  walls  have  been  entirely  forgotten,  and  all  that  is  left  to  tell  us  are 
a  few  old  musty  records,  with  only  a  name  and  a  date,  as  witnesses  that  they  have 
ever  lived.  And,  as  with  these  old  houses,  so  will  ours  be  soon.  Other  lives 
will  be  passed  beneath  their  roofs ;  and  our  names — only  a  memory,  and  soon 
utterly  forgot.

EARLY  HISTORY. 


CHAPTER  IX. 

The  boundaries  of  Dq>uty  Governor  Jones'  laige  farm  have  already  been  de- 
scribed. Naturally  he  did  not  live  in  Meriden  but,  nevertheless*  he  must  have 
made  frequent  visits  of  inspection  to  ascertain  the  condition  of  his  farm  and  to 
see  that  it  was  properly  cared  for.  In  charge  of  it  he  placed  Captain  Thomas 
Yale  of  Wallingford.  Just  a  glimpse  of  the  relations  of  the  two  men  is  given  in 
a  deposition  made  in  1757  by  Theophilus  Yale,  the  son  of  Capt  Thomas. 

"About  y*  year  1740  I  went  with  Mr.  Hitchcock  y^  County  Surveyor  and  Dea- 
con Robert  Roys  upon  y«  Desire  of  Dan"  Baldwin  to  Wallingford  North  West 
comer  bounds  and  we  run  from  thence  eastward  along  by  y*  line  of  Marked  Trees 
which  my  Hon*^  father  Thomas  Yale  informed  me  was  Wallingford  North  Line 
iintill  we  came  to  Pilgprims  Harbour  bridge  which  my  s^  father  informed  me  was 
y*  place  where  people  Constantly  pased  over,  and  then  we  came  to  y*  Southwest 
comer  of  Mr.  Jones'es  Farm  which  farm  was  Laid  out  in  y*  Country  Land  (So 
Caled)  and  then  we  continued  y*  same  course  as  far  Eastward  as  y*  South  East 
comer  of  Mr.  Streets  farm  now  Dan*'  Baldwins   «   *   »   I  remember  when  I 

« 

was  young  y*  Mr  Jones  Desired  my  father  to  take  care  of  his  s*^  farm  and  renew  y* 
bounds,  and  when  my  father  was  old  Mr  Jones  Desired  him  to  take  me  with  him 
and  Shew  me  y*  bounds  of  y^  farm,  and  I  remember  I  often  went  with  my  father 
to  renew  y*  bounds  of  &^  Jones'es  farm.  I  see  all  y*  bounds  thereof  and  well 
remember  y^  y*  south  bounds  of  s^  farm  joyned  on  Wallingford  north  line,"  etc., 
etc^   Theophilus  was  at  that  time  82  years  old. 

Of  course  in  th»s  deposition  Theophilus  was  speaking  of  the  Colonial  grant. 
After  the  death  of  Mr.  Jones  the  farm  remained  intact  until  1722  when  the  heirs 
divided  it. 

It  would  be  tedious  to  follow  these  divisions,  so  we  will  take  the  year  1735  as 
a  convenient  date  to  show  the  ownership  of  this  great  farm. 

It  requires  a  good  bit  of  imagination  to  go  back  and  see  in  one's  mind's  eye 
what  it  looked  like  then — a  stretch  of  meadow  and  woodland,  with  scarcely  a 
house  in  all  the  great  tract.  All  roads  and  streets  must  be  obliterated  fri mi  one's 
mind  except  the  old  Liberty  street  running  east  from  Pilgrims'  Harbor  bridge; 
and  Curtis  street  running  in  its  present  course  and  coming  down  to  Liberty  a 
little  east  of  the  course  of  present  Center  street  and  so  on  to  North  Colony  road. 
The  farm  of  30  acres  belonging  to  Captain  Nathaniel  Mcrriam  has  already  been  de-

scribed.  It  fronted  on  the  north  side  ot  Liberty  street  and  extended  as  far  east  as 
the  Meriden  High  school  property,  his  barn  probably  standing  on  the  site  o£  that 
building.    Ilis  land  was  hounded  north  and  west  on  Harbor  Brook. 

The  next  larni  was  that  of  Timothy  Jerome.  It  also  fronted  on  I,ihc  rt\  street 
on  the  north  side  ;  it  extetidcd  as  far  east  as  present  School  street  and  was  bounded 
on  the  north  hy  Harbor  Brook.  His  house  stood  very  nearly  on  the  sit*-  of  the 
present  Waller  Hall  house,  No.  202  Liberty  street.  How  long  it  continued 
stand  cannot  be  told,  but  shortly  after  his  death  in  1750,  his  son,  Samuel,  built  a 
house  that  was  standing  until  ten  or  twelve  years  ago  and  will  be  remembered  by 
many  as  the  Ui)son  place,  just  south  of  the  residence  of  the  late  Reuben  T.  Cook. 
No.  608  Broad  street,  liefore  Broad  street  was  opened  in  1799,  Wall  street 
joined  Liberty  street  near  what  is  now  the  south  end  of  Hol)art  street,  and  ])assed 
between  the  house  and  barn  of  Timothy  Jerome,  as  is  told  in  the  layout  of  Wall 
street,  made  hy  the  seleetmcn  in  1739. 

T  he  SamiH-l  Jerome  honse  formerly  faced  south  on  this  old  extension  of  W  all 
street  to  Lilierty,  and  when  Broad  street  was  projectt-d  in  1799,  there  was  at  first 
the  sugge>lIon  that  the  house  would  have  to  l)e  mi>ved  farther  west,  which  was 
finally  avoided  by  moving  the  road  slightly  to  the  cast.  When  Broad  street  was 
widened  in  iSfK;.  it  left  this  olti  litmse  jntting  into  the  road  ei,L;hteen  feet,  and  the 
common  cotmcil  ordered  it  moved  back.  So  it  was  shifted  twenty-five  feet  to  the 
nar  and  turncl  at  right  anuK  s  so  as  to  face  Broad  -street,  at  which  time  it  lost 
its  old  stone  chimney.  It  has  been  imfiossifile  tr>  obtain  a  i)ictnre  of  this  old  Samuel 
Jerome  place.  Timothy,  the  father,  emigrated  to  America  about  T717  and  he  evi- 
dently came  directly  to  Meriden.  lie  was  ])rohal)l\  from  the  Isle  of  Wight 
and  the  family  is  believed  to  have  been  of  Huguenot  origin.  As  already  noted,  he 
seems  to  have  lived  at  first  on  a  tract  of  land  just  south  f>f  Meriden  farm  and  he 
bouglit  his  portion  of  the  J«>nes  farm  in  1722.  Tunoihy  was  a  man  of  consider- 
able wealth  for  at  the  time  oi  his  death  in  1750  his  inventory  included  four  slaves, 
named  Lon'.p.  ko.sc.  Jenny  and  Prince. 

The  valuation  placed  on  these  slaves  was  enormous,  viz:  £460,  £295,  £  njo 
atid  £tj5  respectively.  1  liis  was  because  the  valvie  of  the  currency  was  at  that 
time  nineh  (iepreciated.  His  wearing  ai^parel  iiuluded  such  articles  as  a  straiijht 
bcnHed  coat  of  pale  blue,  a  red  vest  of  bavse.  a  black  vest  n\  cailimanco  and  leath- 
cr  breeches;  mixed  colored  coat  and  ve^t.  a  beaver  hat.  etc..  tic. 

Alte>Lrethcr  Timothv  Jerome  nnist  have  been  very  smartly  attired  when  ar- 
rayed for  n.eeling  or  exfwcting  guests:  and  he  mu>t  have  often  liad  frieiKls  at 
his  home  wlio  \NVre  not  disinclined  to  hilarity,  if  we  may  judge  from  the  list  i»f 
seven  punch  howU.  a  case  of  bottles,  large  drinking  glasses  and  sixteen  pewter 
tankar»ls  mentioned  in  his  inveniury. 

It  should  interest  all  \"  know  that  the  brilliant  di>tricl  attorney  of  Xew  \'ork. 
William  Travers  Jerome,  is  a  descendant  of  Timothy  in  the  sixth  generation.

Chauncey  Jerome,  the  well  known  clock  manufacturer  of  Xew  Haven  fifty  years 
ag^o,  \va?  also  descended  from  Timothy.  Samuel  Jerome  moved  to  Stockbridge, 
Mass.,  and  sold  his  farm  to  Abel  Ctirtis  iti  1771.  and  Abel  later  g^avc  a  consider- 
able portion  of  it  to  his  son  Levi,  who  lived  in  tlic  old  house  many  years.  It 
A  as  bought  years  ago  by  Benjamin  Upson,  and  his  widow  died  in  it  in  1888  at 
Lhe  ripe  oM  r;i^c  of  ninety-six. 

That  p:irt  of  the  Jones  farm  that  was  south  of  Liberty  street  became  the 
pr  ^K-rty  of  Stephen  Atwater  from  Xew  Haven  and  Daniel  Harris,  Aiwaler  s 
part  was  bounded  west  on  Colony  street,  north  on  Liberty,  snulh  on  Olive  and  it 
extended  eabt  as  far  as  Pleasant  street.  His  house  stood  at  the  junction  of  Olive 
and  Colony  streets  on  the  south  side,  on  a  piece  of  land  Utught  of  Eleazer  Feck. 
This  old  house  disappeared  many  years  ago.  His  farm  extended  also  across  Har- 
bor brook  t  )  the  wst.  probably  as  far  as  Cook  avenue.  This  Atwater^  family 
continued  to  dwell  here  until  the  beginning  of  the  last  century. 

Daniel  F^arris  came  here  from  Durham  and  bought  the  east  half  of  this  south- 
ern purtion  of  the  Jones  fann  as  early  as  1726.  He  continued  to  hold  it  until 
1739  when  he  sold  sixty  acres  to  Rev.  Theophilus  Hall,  together  with  a  house  and 
a  barn  on  it.  There  is  a  tradition  that  the  parson  l)uilt  the  old  house,  afterwards 
known  ai  the  Central  tavern  in  1752  for  his  son  Samuel.  As  this  son  was  only 
thirteen  years  old  at  that  date  it  cannot  be  that  there  is  any  truth  to  the  tradition. 
It  seems  nmch  more  i)robable  that  this  building  was  the  one  standing  when  he 
bought  the  t'arm  of  Daniel  Harris. 

Samuel  was  only  twenty-eight  years  old  when  his  father  died  in  1767,  and  the 
house  with  adjoining  land  was  left  to  him  in  the  will,  as  well  as  the  barn,  which 
^i*  vod  not  far  from  the  site  of  the  IVoad  street  Baptist  church.  The  house  cer- 
tainly was  a  very  ancient  building  and  as  the  parson's  home  was  where  the  Wil- 
lard  Hal!  house  now  stands,  .'^outh  of  the  junction  of  Curtis  and  Ami  i>treets,  on 
the  southeast  corner,  there  seems  to  have  been  no  reason  for  building  the  old 
lior.se  in  1752.  It  is  probable  then  that  it  was  the  one  built  by  Daniel  Harris  as 
carl\  as  1730.  at  least.  Of  course,  this  refers  to  that  part  covered  by  the  gam- 
brel  roof  only.  The  rest  of  the  house  was  evidently  a  combination  of  after 
Th<  »ughts,  built  as  the  demands  of  the  tavern  increased,  by  Dr.  Insign  or  his  son, 
Dr.  Isaac  L  Hough. 

The  house  was  the  scene  of  many  an  interesting  event  in  the  earl\  history 
of  the  town,  although  its  imjKirtance  as  a  t.ivLiii  was  nnt  until  after  1811  when 
Kobinson's  ceased  to  be  mentioned.  It  stood  on  the  site  of  the  residence  of  Fran- 
cis .\twater,  No.  510  Broad  street.

part  of  the  Center  Congregational  church. 

Aaron  Lyman  came  here  from  Durham  about  the  year  1732  and  bought  a 
portion  of  the  Jones  farm  both  north  and  south  of  the  old  Liberty  street.  His 
fami  at  first  consisted  of  130  acres  and  it  lay  just  east  of  the  Harris-Hall  tract, 
and  extended  south  a  little  beyond  the  present  Charles  street  and  north  consid- 
erably beyond  Wall  street.    It  extended  on  the  cast  to  the  top  of  the  hill  beyond

pied by  Benjamin  W.  Collins,  450  East  Main  street. 

This  house  was  torn  down  about  thirty  years  ago  and  much  of  the  timber  is 
now  in  Mr.  Collins'  barn.  The  picture  is  a  reproduction  of  a  crayon  drawing  and 
is  a  faithful  representation  of  this  ancient  house.  Mr.  Lyman  was  an  important 
man  in  the  community  and  possessed  of  large  wealth  for  those  days.  The  old 
probate  records  bear  abundant  evidence  of  the  numerous  positions  of  trust  he 
\vas  called  on  to  fill.  He  was  twice  married  and  left  only  one  child  at  his  death 
who  was  the  wife  of  Captain  Dan  Collins  and  it  was  thus  that  the  Collins  family

became  identified  with  this  part  of  Meriden,  and  all  evidence  of  the  former  res- 
idence on  North  Colony  road  was  forgotten.    Esq.  Lyman  largely  increased  his 
land  holdings  and  at  one  time  his  farm  extended  down,  east  of  Meeting"  House , 
hill,  rimning  over  on  what  was  then  known  as  Little  Success  hill,  which  is  east  I 
of  and  just  about  as  high  as  Meeting  House  hill.    The  home  of  Charles  Z.  Mur- 
dock  stands  on  the  southern  slope  of  Little  Success  hill.    Esq.  Lyman  also  bought 
a  part  of  the  Jerome  estate  and  his  farm  extended  north  as  far  as  the  residence  of  j 
Dexter  VV.  Parker,  No.  8i6  North  Broad  street.    Many  acres  of  the  old  farm  are 
still  in  the  possession  of  the  Collins  family. 

Daniel  Baldwin,  of  Milford.  came  to  Meriden  about  1725,  and  bought  a  farm 
in  the  eastern  part  that  was  bounded  on  the  south  by  the  old  Liberty  street  that

has  been  described.  It  was  a  jiart  of  a  farm  that  had  been  granted  to  Rev.  Sam- 
uel Street,  of  W'allingford,  in  1680,  by  the  colonial  government  at  the  same  time 
that  Deputy  Governor  Jones  was  given  his  farm.  This  Street  estate  was  just  east 
of  the  Jones  tract,  from  which  it  was  separated  by  the  south  branch  of  Pilgrims* 
Harbor  brook,  or  Willow  Hill  brook  as  it  is  now  sometimes  called.  Daniel  Bald- 
win immediately  built  his  house,  and  the  old  building  is  still  in  existence  and  is 
still  sound  and  staunch  and  good  for  many  years  more. 

Daniel  died  in  1777  and  half  the  house  an<l  a  number  of  acres  were  given  by 
his  will  to  his  daughter,  Lois,  the  wife  of  John  'S'camans,  and  later  Mr.  Yeamans 
bought  the  remainder  of  the  land  adjoining  and  the  other  half  of  the  house  and

here  he  and  his  son  and  grandson  lived  many  years.  The  house  is  still  called 
the  Yeamans  place.  Daniel  had  a  saw  mill  on  the  brook  west  of  his  home.  The 
old  place  is  now  the  property  of  Fred  A.  Baumann. 

The  house  looks  lonesome,  standing  as  it  does  in  the  meadow,  with  scarcely 
another  within  view.  The  old  road  on  which  it  formerly  faced  has  long  been 
closed,  although  it  can  still  be  traced  distinctly  in  its  course  to  the  east;  that  part 
was  in  use  long  after  the  western  portion  had  become  private  property. 

North  of  the  Daniel  Baldwin  tract  was  another  great  farm  that  was  bought 
by  John  Way  at  a  date  as  early  as  1725.    The  house  stood  on  what  is  now  known

A  CENTURY  OF  MERlDliN. 


A  curious  deed  appears  on  the  Wallinjjford  rccortls  under  date  uf  March  3. 
'739"40,  reading  as  follows:  "1  Alexander  W'olcolt^  in  consideration  of  £300 
paid  to  me  by  Lydia  Wolcott,  lately  my  wife,  and  likewise  in  consideration  of  said 
Lydia  Wolcots  obtaining  a  divorce  from  me  at  my  request  and  desire,"  etc..  etc. 
The  deed  grants  to  the  said  Lydia  this  Meriden  property.  It  certainly  was  a  pe- 
culiar tfansactkm  and  is  like  nothing  else  that  the  writer  has  seen  on  tlie  Wal- 
Hngford  records. 

This  Lydia  must  have  afterwards  married  John  Elliott,  of  New  Haven,  for 
on  December  30,  1747,  she  and  her  husband  deeded  to  Nathaniel  Peniietd  this 
farm  of  160  acres  that  had  been  granted  to  her  by  her  former  husband.  For  two 
or  three  years  previous  to  the  deed  to  Lydia  Wolcott  the  farm  was  leased  to  Da- 
vid Rich,  but  when  Penfield  obtained  it  he  moved  here  from  Guilford  and  for 
many  years  he  and  his  sons  continued  to  live  on  the  farm.  Late  in  the  eigliteenth 
century  it  became  the  property  of  Nathaniel  Yale  and  he  and  his  son  Jonathan 
and  grandson,  William  Hubbard  Yale,  were  the  subsequent  occupants  of  the 
house.  The  photc^raph  taken  a  few  years  ago  shows  the  rear  of  the  dwelling 
with  its  owner,  William  Hubbard  Yale,  standing  at  the  well.  It  stood  on  Gravel 
street  on  tho  east  side,  a  few  hundred  feet  south  of  Baldwin  avenue.  It  met  the 
fate  of  so  many  of  these  old  landmarks,  for  it  was  burned  to  the  ground,  per- 
haps three  3'ears  ago.  , 

Little  Success  hill  has  already  been  described  as  lying  just  east  of  Meeting 
House  hill:  north  of  it  was  what  was  called  for  many  years  a  "town  farm,*"^ 
sequestered  by  Wallingford  about  1703  for  some  purpose  unknown.  It  extended 
as  far  north  as  Liberty  and  just  east  of  it  was  the  f^;in  of  Nathaniel  Roys. 

He  was  the  "trusty  friend"  of  the  Cole  family  who,  with  the  "beloved  breth- 
ren," had  disposed  of  much  of  their  large  farm ;  and,  indeed,  he  was  the  "trusty 
friend"  of  others  for  he  was  several  times  appointed  executor  or  administrator  of 
different  estates  at  a  time  when  there  were  very  few  to  care  for;  he  was  evi- 
dently quite  a  man  of  afTairs.  He  was  five  times  married,  his  fourth  wife  being 
the  widow  Abigail  lloyt,  in  whose  life  had  occurred  a  gruesome  tragedy— a  not 
imconunon  event  in  tlmsc  days  of  savage  Indians  and  frontier  life, 

Slu'  had  previously  been  the  wife  of  Deacon  David  Hoyt,  of  Decrfield.  Mass. 
Two  hours  before  daybreak  on  February  29,  1703-4,  a  party  of  French  and  In-

dians  under  the  command  of  M.  de  RouviUe,  swooped  down  on  the  sleeping  town 
and  butchered  many  and  captured  a  number  of  others.  David  Hoyt,  his  wife 
Abigail,  and  four  of  their  children  were  among  the  prisonersi  and,  suffering  such 
tortures  as  may  be  imagined  on  a  winter  trip  under  such  conditions,  they  were 
started  on  the  way  to  Canada ;  one  child  was  killed  on  the  road  and  David  died 
of  starvation  at  Cowass  in  N.  H.,  near  the  mouth  of  Wells  river.  She  was  finally 
brought  back  from  Canada  and  married  Nathaniel  Roys  in  1708.^ 

In  the  year  1687  he  was  granted  his  farm  of  207  acres  by  the  town.  It  was 
thus  described  in  the  records:  ''lying  near  upper  end  Misery  Swamp,  beginning  on 
y*  east  side  of  y*  river^  near  Middletown  mountains  to  north  of  his  hog  sty,  then 
west  iigyi  rods,  then  south  160  rods,  then  east  towards  y*  mountains  94  rods,  then 
north  160  rods."  As  the  only  landmarks  in  the  boundary  are  the  hog  sty  and 
the  river,  its  location  might  be  termed  a  trifle  indefinite.  Kut  as  a  subsequent 
deed  shows  that  it  joined  the  town  farm  on  its  western  side,  it  is  safe  to  sa>  that 
it  was  located  between  Paddock  avenue  and  Gravel  street  on  the  west  and  Misery 
Bar  road  and  Ike  street  on  the  east.  It  was  probably  tK>unded  by  the  "WalHng- 
ford  north  hounds"  on  the  nnrtli. 

It  was  between  this  Nathaniel  and  Cai)tain  Thomas  Yale  that  the  quarre  l  ara';e 
in  1696  rccTcinling  a  watering  place  which  involved  so  many  of  the  W'allingford 
planters.^  The  watering  place  was.  doubtless,  where  Misery  liar  road  crosses 
the  south  branch  of  Pilg:rims'  Harbor  Brook.  His  house,  perhaps,  also  stood  on 
this  road,  for  at  that  date  there  was  no  other  highway  in  the  locality.  In  1701 
Fnsign  Xathaniei  gave  to  his  son,  Benjamin,  a  farm  of  seventy-two  acres,  a  part 
of  this  same  tract.  There  is  no  record  of  where  his  house  stood  and  it  must  have 
disappeared  many  long  years  ago. 

East  of  the  farm  of  Nathaniel  Roys  was  one  belonging  to  i-lbenezer  I'rindle. 
The  house  was  situated  near  the  north  end  of  Misery  liar  road,  a  link  »uth  of 
its  junction  with  Pomeroy  avenue,  but  \ms  l>n^  since  disappeared.  Mr.  Prindle 
came  here  from  Milford  about  1722  and  evidently  in  some  way  was  connected  with 
The  William  Jones  family,  for  he  obtained  his  first  laiul  in  Meriden  as  a  Jones 
heir.  He  was  the  owner  of  another  large  tract  ot  land  extending  quite  a  dis- 
tance north  of  old  Liberty  street  and  east  of  the  Daniel  Baldwin  farm  in  the  so- 
called  Country  land.  His  two  daughters  married  Abraham  and  John,  sons  of 
Daniel  Hall.

the  east  part  of  Meriden — perhaps  as  early  as  1685.  It  stood  immediately  south 
of  the  present  dwellinj^  of  John  P.  Hall,'  a  descendant,  but  became  uninhabitable 
and  was  pulled  down  many  years  aj^o.

South  of  the  Whiting  fann  uas  tlic  larj^^c  one  hclDiijj^ing  to  the  Ives  family. 
The  old  house  stood,  in  fact  stands,  in  the  dwelling  of  George  B.  Murdock.  Bur- 
ied in  tlie  de|»ths  of  this  modern  house  is  the  kernel  or  nucleus  of  the  one  built  by 
John  Ives  at  an  early  date.^  In  the  year  1723  he  appears  to  have  taken  up  his 
residence  in  the  parish  of  Meriden.  He  died  in  1738  and  the  house  and  east  pnrt 
of  his  farm  passed  into  the  possession  of  his  son.  Captain  Bezaleel.  He  died  in 
1798.  and  his  only  child,  Captain  Samuel,  then  hecame  the  owner  and  at  his  death 
in  1803  it  became  the  property  of  Ivah  Curtis,  who  had  married  his  (Umghter, 
Hannah,  f  lere  was  born  Rev.  Sanuiel  Ives  Curtis,  whose  son,  Rev.  Samuel  Ives 
Curtis,  Jr.,  lately  deceased,  was  probably  as  great  a  Hebrew  scholar  as  this  coun- 
try has  ever  produced,  and  professor  in  Chicago  Theological  Seminary.  About 
tlie  middle  of  the  last  century  the  farm  was  bought  by  Zina  K.  Murdock,  and 
he  made  the  changes  and  additions  to  the  old  homestead.  The  farm  of  John  !ves 
was  a  large  one,  comprising  several  hundred  acres  and  stretched  down  on  both 
sides  of  the  highway  nearly  to  the  town  line  or  farm  of  Amos  Camp.  His  son. 
John,  in  the  division  of  his  father's  estate,  took  the  western  part  and  i)robably 
built  tlic  house  many  will  remember  as  the  Othniel  Ives  place,  a  ft-w  hundred  feet 
west  of  the  dwelling  of  Mr.  Murdock.  It  was  erected  very  likely  about  the  year 
1745.  It  was  bought  many  years  ago  by  j  ( leorge  Schwink  and  perhai)s  ten  years 
Ti^o  was  burned  to  the  pfround.  In  it  was  born  Levi  Ives,  who  was  the  father  of 
Levi  Silliniar.  Ives,  who  became  the  ['rotestant  Episcopal  bishop  of  North  Car- 
olina. In  the  year  1852  he  pro<luced  a  great  sensation  by  leaving  the  church  and 
embracing  the  Roman  Catholic  faith.  The  Ivt--  funnily  has  always  been  numerous 
and  influential  in  iMeriden  and  the  old  rect)r(ls  ahuund  in  frequent  evidences  of 
this  fact.  Almost  due  south  from  the  house  of  George  l».  Murdock  stantls  the 
home  of  John  Francis,  just  inside  the  Wallingforc!  line;  it  occupies  the  site  of 
the  house  of  Cato  Freeman,  i)robably  a  brother  of  Chatham  Freeman  ;  both  were 
freed  negro  slaves:  from  the  mad  just  west  of  the  house  there  was  formerly  a

Berry  farm  (to  be  described)  and  land  of  Dr.  Isaac  Hall,  and  east  on  the  liij^hway 
and  not  on  Misery  P>ar  road.  He  was  a  son  of  John  and  brother  of  Bezaleel 
Ives.  Some  of  the  farm  was  given  him  by  his  father  and  some  he  purchased  of 
Benjamin,  the  son  of  Nathaniel  Roys.  East  of  this  farm,  on  the  other  side  of  the

a  distance  further  west  on  the  same  road  but  disappeared  long  ago :  there  are  people

north  and  west  on  his  own  land.  Divan  died  in  1785  and  the  house  and  si.x  acres

There  was  another  Berrv  farm  not  far  awav,  and  on  it  stands  a  r»errv

now  Atin  street  and  Mcctiiii;  House  Hill  road,  north  on  Hcnjaniin  Curtis  and  east 
on  highway  (  Swayiie  avenue).  With  it  he  sold  a  barn.  Shortly  afterwards  Berry 
mortgaged  the  land  and  on  it  then,  were  a  house  and  a  bam,  showing  that  the 
house  had  been  built  in  the  intervening  time.  The  late  Mrs.  Julia  Knight,  who 
owned  it,  told  the  writer  that  a  few  years  ago  the  barn  was  taken  down  and  on 
a  beam  was  found  tlie  date  1735,  and  that  her  father.  Aaron  Higbcy,  had  told  her 
the  house  was  standing  when  the  old  meeting  house  was  in  use.  This  tixcs  the 
date  very  close  to  1743  and  the  pedigree  of  the  dwelling  is  practically  certain. 
Ephraini  was.  doubtless,  a  brother  of  Divan  Berry,  Sr.  He  finally  moved  from 
Meriden  on  Xoveniber  22,  1756,  and  sold  the  house  and  farm  to  Stephen  Perkins. 

The  I'erkins  family  occupied  it  many  years,  the  last  one  being  Liberty,  who 
Ijassed  a  good  part  of  his  life  developing  a  cliaracter  commonly  denominated  as 
crusty ;  he  married  late  in  life  as  his  second  wife  the  widow  of  one  of  the  sons  of 
Squire  Darius  Benham  of  Colony  street,  who  with  her  son,  Henry  W.  Benham, 
came  to  live  in  the  old  house.  The  boy,  who  had  high  ideals,  did  not  get  on  well 
with  Liberty  and  many  stories  are  told  of  the  hardships  endured.  The  story  in 
detail  can  be  found  in  Mrs.  Breckenridge's  ''Recollections  of  a  New  England 
Town,"  page  49. 

The  lad  afterwards  became  a  general  in  the  arm}  and  had  a  very  successful 
career.  In  the  first  half  of  the  last  century  the  dwelling  became  the  property  of 
Aaron  Higbey.  The  house  has  been  kept  in  perfect  repair  and  no  one  of  the  very 
old  homes  in  Meriden  is  as  well  preserved  as  this.  There  is  much  fine  paneling 
and  everything  about  the  house  indicates  how  carefully  it  was  built  and  kept  in 
repair.   It  stands  on  the  east  corner  of  Parker  avenue  and  Ann  street. 

The  name  of  Captain  Thomas  Yale  has  been  frequently  mentioned  in  the  fore- 
going pages.  He  was  born  in  New  Haven  in  1647^  the  son  of  Captain  ThomaSr 
Sr.  He  was  a  grandson  of  Ann,  the  daughter  of  Bishop  Lloyd,  of  the  diocese 
of  Chester,  England.  Her  first  husband  was  Thomas  Yale,  of  Wrexham,  Wales. 
He  died  about  1719  and  she  then  married  Theophilus  Eaton,  a  merchant  in  Lon* 
don,  who  afterwards  moved  to  New  Haven  and  became  governor  of  the  colony. 
Captain  Thomas,  Jr.,  was  first  cousin  to  Elihu  Yale,  after  whom  Vale  College  was 
named  on  account  of  his  benefactions  to  the  institution,  and  who,  although  bom 
in  New  Haven,  was  afterwards  a  member  of  the  famous  and  rich  corporation 
known  as  the  East  India  Compan>  of  London  and  later  became  its  governor. 

Captains  Thomas, ^  Sr.  and  Jr.,  although  so  well  connected,  seem  to  have  pre- 
ferred the  life  of  a  pioneer  on  the  frontiers,  to  that  of  a  man  of  affairs  in  the  center 
of  Xew  Haven  colony,  for  the  senior  early  moved  to  a  large  farm  in  North  Haven

certainly  was  a  very  important  man  in  the  community.  At  an  early  date  the  town 
j^ranled  to  Thomas  Vale  a  large  farm  which  cannot  he  precisely  stated  because  the 
"ledg^er  book"  containing  most  of  the  original  surveys  of  W'allingfonl  is  not  to  be 
lOuntl  among  the  archives  of  that  town.  There  is  a  descriptif)n  of  an  addition 
in  1702.  and  judging  by  inference  when  portions  of  the  farm  were  sold  at  a  later 
tlate,  he  originally  had  a  tract  bounded  on  the  east  by  Swayne  antl  "S'ale  avenues ; 
on  the  west  by  an  ancient  highway  a  few  hundred  feet  west  of  the  southern  i)art

the  same  road  originally).  Another  section  ran  north  of  this  old  highway.  Cap- 
tain Thomas  had  his  home  lot  in  Wallingford  village  so  he  used  the  large  farm 
in  Meriden  for  agricultural  purposes  only.  In  1703  he  distributed  a  great  part 
of  it  to  his  sons,  Thomas  and  Xathaniel,  who  were  shortly  afterwards  married. 
For  a  while  they  both  lived  with  their  families  in  a  house  that  nuist  have  stood 
very  close  to  the  junction  of  Yale  and  Miller  avenues,  for  it  was  just  half  a  mile,

committee^  appointed  b>-  the  church  in  1728,  bought  the  western  portion  of  this 
farm,  which  they  later  (1729)  disposed  of  to  Rev,  Theophilus  Hall  and  which  be- 
came his  homestead  farm.  In  the  deed  it  is  described  as  bounded  north  and  west 
on  higluva.\s  (Curtis  and  Ann  streets)  and  east  on  Thomas  Yale.  Julius  and  J. 
Hobart  Yale  and  Levi  Yale  are  descendants  of  Thomas  Yale  and  much  of  his 
old  farm  is  in  their  possession.  The  house  erected  as  early  as  1706  disappeared 
many  years  ago  and  was  probably  the  one  occupied  later  by  David  Levitt,  who 
bought  quite  a  farm  of  the  Yales  at  an  early  date.  There  are  two  Yale  houses 
still  standing  in  Meriden,  one  on  Yale  avenue  and  occupied  by  J.  Hobart  Yale  that 
was  erected  by  his  ancestor  Noah,  the  son  of  Thomas,  in  the  year  1761. 

The  house  was  certainly  a  fine  cme  for  those  days  and  contains  much 
good  paneling  and  wainscoting,  and  is  yet  a  comfortable  and  dignified  dwelling 
and  for  years  has  been  a  landmark  in  that  part  of  the  town.  Mr.  Yale  has  re- 
moved the  great  chimney  and  thereby  obtained  much  additional  room  and  has 
established  .1  water  supply  in  the  attic  and  a  steam  heater  in  the  cellar,  so  that  it 
is  now  as  well  equipped  for  comfort  and  convenience  as  though  it  were  within  the 
dty  limits.  The  house  in  all  its  lines  shows  that  it  was  built  by  a  man  who  was 
in  good  financial  condition  and  desired  to  make  it  an  exponent  of  his  comfortable 
position.  Another  ancient  Yale  dwelling  is  on  East  Main  street,  that  was  built  by 
Abel  Yale  about  the  year  1735.  It  is  on  the  north  side  of  the  street  perhaps  500 
feet  west  of  Paddock  avenue.  The  first  mention  of  it  on  the  records  was  in  1737 
when  his  brother  Moses  quit  claimed  to  Abel  all  his  interest  in  the  house  and 
farm.  It  stands  on  a  part  of  the  "town  farm,"  which  the  brothers  had  bought 
in  172?^  after  disposing  of  their  father's  lands  to  the  church  committee.  It  was 
evidently  a  comfortable  and  substantial  dwelling:  and  it  is  still  in  such  shape  that 
it  may  last  man\  years.  Of  course,  it  is  considerably  changed  from  its  original 
condition,  particularly  in  the  interior. 

The  old  iean-to  roof  is  one  of  the  sijjns  of  its  antiquity.  The  last  of  the  Yales 
to  own  it  was  Jonathan-  who  died  in  i  S.vV  '  )rchard  (  iuy.  his  brother-hi-law,  who 
owned  and  built  the  old  house,  three  hundred  feet  west,  about  1793.  bought  the 
Yale  homestead  after  Jonathan's  death,  and  in  1844  sold  it  to  S.  C.  Paddock.  It 
is  now  occupied  by  a  German  family  who  keep  a  grocery  store  in  the  west  room 
of  the  |[jround  floor. 

Mention  has  been  made  of  the  Orchard  Guy  home.  It  is  of  much  later  date

EARLY  HISTORY.

122 


A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Between  Yale  avenue  and  Misery  highway  or  Paddock  avenue  and  bounded 
on  the  north  by  Miller  avenue  was  a  large  Curtis  farm  which  had  beM  granted 
to  Sergeant  Nathaniel  Curtis,  whose  homestead  was  near  Falls  Plain  or  Hanover. 

He  was  the  son  of  Ensign  Thomas  Curtis,  who  was  bom  in  Stratford  in  164S, 
a  son  of  the  original  John,  and  (;ame  .to  Wallingford»  one  of  the  company  of  first 
planters  in  1670,  probably  through  the  influence  of  Captain  Nathaniel  Merri- 
man,  whose  dat^hter  Mary  he  married.  Ensign  Thomas  was  active  and  influ- 
ential and  during  his  sixty>six  years  of  life  in  Wallingford  held  at  various  times 
almost  every  office  on  the  list.  He  died  the  last  of  the  original  planters  in  May. 
1736.  This  Curtis  farm  originally  extended  all  the  way  from  Paddock  avenue 
to  Vale  avenue  and  was  bounded  nortli  on  Miller  avenue  and  extended  south 
towards  Clapboard  Hill.  Nathaniel  divided  it  between  two  of  his  sons,  Moses  and 
Enos,  but  as  Moses  died  young:.  »t  finally  became  wholly  the  property  of  Etios, 
who  resided  on  the  farm  until  17(^7,  when  he  sold  part  of  it,  and  his  home 
to  his  nephew  AbeP  and  removed  to  Stockbridj^e,  Mass.,  where  he  settled  near 
the  "Howl"  and  his  farm  there  is  now  i)art  of  the  Anson  Phelps  Stokes  estate, 
known  as  Shadowbrook.  The  Meriden  home  stood  on  the  summit  of  the  hill 
on  the  sonth  side  of  Miller  avenue.  It  disappeared  sometime  early  in  the  last 
century.  It  was  a  cold,  bleak  place  for  a  dwelling,  and  the  magnificent 
view  of  the  Hancrinir  Hills  and  Lamentation  ranpfe  in  the  north  and  east,  with 
jjlimi^srs  of  Hast  Kuck  anf!  Mnrnl  (  armel  in  the  south  can  hardly  have  repaid 
Enos  and  Abel  for  the  terrible  winter  l)lasts  that  must  have  whistled  down  from 
the  summits  of  Meeting  Hnnse  and  Little  Sitocess  Hills. ^ 

Another  Curtis  farm  I'rcnted  on  Curtis  street  and  oxten(k'(l  rastrrly  until  it 
climbed  the  steep  sides  ot  Meeting  House  Hill  and  ran  ([uite  down  to  Swavne 
avenue.  It  had  a  fronlaj^e  of  only  a  few  hnnilrcil  feet  on  Curtis  street  hut  spread

lived  in  a  shoe."  knew  what  to  do;  for  he  built  a  house,  probably  about  1795,  into 
which  he  put  those  members  of  his  family  for  whom  there  was  no  room  in  the 
old  homestead. 

This  old  house  is  a  substantially  built  one  and  is  located  at  Xo.  54  Curtis 
street.  It  is  in  good  shape  to-day  and  ought  to  last  many,  many  years.  That  it 
was  positively  built  in  1795  is  not  sure.  AW  we  know  is  that  in  that  year  he  deed- 
ed a  part  of  it  to  his  son,  Benjamin,  and  called  it  his  new  house:  this  may  have 
been  only  a  relative  term  to  distinguish  it  from  his  old  one.  It  was  his  brother, 
•Abel,  who  bought  of  his  uncle,  Enos  Curtis,  the  farm  on  Little  Success  Hill. 

The  farm  bought  by  Rev.  Theophilus  Hall  in  1729  has  already  been  mentioned. 
He  paid  the  church  committee  £250  and  as  they  had  given  the  Yale  brothers  the 
year  previous  £300  for  the  same  farm,  the  difference,  perhaps,  represents  a  con- 
tribution given  the  minister  at  his  settlement.

BE.XJA.MIN    CURTIS  HOUSE. 


This  home  farm  comprised  eighty  acres,  afterwards  added  to,  so  that  it  con- 
tained all  told  ninety  acres.  The  north  line  was  Ann  street  which  at  that  time 
was  a  ten-ro<l  highway  or  165  feet  wide  ;  the  east  line  was  on  the  west  slope  of 
Meeting  House  Hill,  east  of  the  brook,  and  it  extended  south  probably  some 
ways  l>elow  Booth's  pond ;  on  the  west  it  was  bounded  by  Curtis  street 
or  the  "highway  that  goeth  up  Pole  hill."  His  house  stood  where  the  \Villard 
Hall  dwelling  now  stands,  Xo.  212  Curtis  street,  but  he  did  not  build  it  until  1734 
in  all  probability,  for  he  did  not  come  to  Mcriden  to  reside  until  that  date  (the 
year  he  was  married),  although  officiating  in  the  church  after  1728.  The  high- 
way that  now  runs  south  from  Ann  street  through  the  farm  beginning  a  little 
east  of  Parker  avenue  was  not  laid  out  until  1820.    Back  of  his  dwelling  he  later

built  a  "cyder''  mill,  a  chair^  house,  a  horse  house  and  a  barn.  In  addition  to 
the  home  farm  he  bought,  later  the  Levitt  farm  of  sixtysix  acres  south  of  it,  so 
that  his  land  must  have  extended  well  towards  Miller  avenue.  Then  he  owned  the 
Harris  farm  which  has  already  been  described  as  around  the  old  Central  tavern, 
or  farm  house  as  it  was  then.  This  consisted  of  seventy-one  acres,  as  he  made 
a  purchase  of  additional  land  after  buying  out  Harris.  He  also  owned  forty 
acres  in  what  was  called  the  Notch  Meadow,  on  the  road  to  Westfield,  and 
a  large  farm  in  KiUingworth,  and  also  151  acres  in  Southing^on.  Consequently 
he  was  a  gentleman  of  large  landed  estate,  in  fact,  wealthy.  He  owned  five 
slaves,  viz:  Jack,  Phillis,  Prince,  I'rinuis  and  Dinah,  at  the  time  of  his  death  in 
1767,  and  possessed  a  total  estate  of  about  £4,000,  or  $20,000.  He  was  a  very 
rich  man  for  his  generation  and  in  all  his  actions  gave  evidence  of  being  a 
shrewd  man  of  business,  in  fact,  one  is  constantly  impressed  by  his  strength  of 
character.  He  was  certainly  the  st-ronj;  man  of  his  parish  and  seems  to  have  com- 
pletely governed  his  tlock  in  every  way.  His  contemporaries  speak  of  him  as  a 
strong  preaciier  and  a  forcc-ii;)  man,  although  small  of  statnre  and  slight  of 
physique.  The  more  one  studies  the  early  annals  of  Mcridcn  the  more  one  ad- 
mires Parson  Hall. 

He  wns  born  in  W'allingford  village  on  April  i,  1707.  the  son  uf  Samuel  and 
Love'^  (Royce)  Hall  He  was  of  disiinguislicd  stock  and  many  of  his  relatives 
became  very  [)ronniK'nt.  His  uncK-.  Hon.  h>hu  Hall,  was  for  eight  years  one 
of  the  governor  s  assistants  and  ancestor  of  Hon.  Lyman  Hall,  governor  of  Geor- 
gia, and  a  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  In(k  j)cndence,  and  he  was  a  cousin  to  Rev. 
Samrel  Hall,  ji.ist.ir  .if  the  church  in  Cheshire. 

Rev.  Thcophilus  graduated  at  Yale  in  the  class  of  1727.  and  after  a  course  in 
theology  lie  came  to  preach  in  Mcriden  in  1728  and  was  ordained  pasiur  oji  tlie 
29th  of  October,  1729.  The  Rev.  Dr.  James  Dana,  of  the  church  in  Wallini^i.  r  I. 
who  was  a  contemporary  of  the  Rev.  Theophilus  for  eight  or  nine  vears.  in  his 
Century  Discourse,^  1770»  says:  "Mr.  Hall  was  a  gentleman  of  strong  intellectual 
powers,  much  esteemed  as  a  preacher,  of  great  finnness  antl  stability,  and  a  zeal- 
ous advocate  for  civil  and  religious  liberty."  Rev.  Edward  Huugerford,  in  his 
Centennial  Sermon,*  delivered  in  liie  Center  Congregational  church  October  i, 
1876,  says :  "Theophilus  Hall  was  a  man  of  powerful  intellect,  and  of  large  heart. 
As  I  have  searched  among  old  papers,  it  has  been  an  inspiration  to  come  into  con<

A  tEXTURY  OF  MEUIO£X. 


CHAPTER  X.  I 

Had  Tarson  llall  occabiun  to  go  to  Pilgrims'  Harbor  on  a  day  in  1740  to  call  j 
on  his  friend,  John  Mcrriam,  he  would  have  left  his  house  on  Curtis  street  and 
turned  to  the  north  up  the  road  and  perhaps  stopped  a  few  moments  to  chat  with 
his  parishioner;  Daniel  Bradley,  busy  at  the  anvil  in  his  blacksmith  shop  beside  the 
house.  We  can  fancy  Daniel  hastening  to  the  door,  cap  in  hand,  to  pay  his  re* 
spects  to  the  dominie  and  inquiring  if  the  last  job  of  horseshoeing  had  been  sat- 
isfactory; Daniel  had  onl\  just  come  to  Meriden,  having  bought  the  house  that 
was  built  by  Lazarus  Ives,  son  of  John,  who  lived  on  Misery  road.  Lazarus  had 
built  the  place  about  1 73a,  and  lived  in  it  quite  ten  years.  Daniel  Bradley  stayed 
here  only  a  few  years  and  then  sold  the  place  to  Daniel  Hough,  who  lived  in  it 
many  years ;  he  was  the  father  of  Dr.  Insign  Hough  and  of  Mindwell,  who  married 
Benjamin  Curtis,  and  became  the  mother  of  the  fourteen  children.  It  was  owned 
by  Isaac  Lewis  for  a  while  and  in  it  the  late  Isaac  C.  Lewis,  his  son,  was  bora. 
A  great  many  years  ago  it  was  bought  by  Samuel  Curtis  and  in  it  his  son,  the 
late  Captain  Alfred  P.  Curtis  lived  and  here  were  born  Mrs.  George  A.  Fay.  his 
daughter,  and  Alfred  W.  Curtis,  his  son,  who  still  lives  in  the  old  house,  but  has 
altered  tt  so  much  that  if  Daniel  Bradley  were  to  come  back  to  look  for  his  for- 
raer  home  and  blacksmith  shop  he  would  never  dream  that  the  dwelling,  No.  160 
Curtis  street,  was  the  place  he  was  seeking. 

The  photograph  was  taken  in  1868;  against  the  fence  leans  George  A.  Fay. 
Mrs.  Fay  is  just  behind  it  and  Captain  Alfred  is  in  the  background  at  the  right, 
and  his  son,  Alfred  W.,  in  front,  while  at  the  extreme  left  stands  Frank  S.  Fay. 

Following  the  steps  of  Rev.  Mr.  Hall  we  would  go  up  the  street,  past  the  lunisj 
of  Benjamin  Curtis,  until  we  reached  a  spot  a  little  south  of  his  new  dwelling; 
here  the  parson  would  turn  to  the  left  to  follow  the  street  leading  to  Pilgrims'  Har- 
bor. At  this  ctjrner,  on  the  south  side,  was  a  house  that  disappeared  probably 
nearly  a  hundred  years  ago.  In  it  lived  Captain  John  Webb.  For  many  years 
Captain  Webb  was  a  well  known  figure  and  inlluential  man  in  Meriden,  and  pos- 
sessed of  considerable  wealth.  He  came  here  from  W'ethersfield  in  1729  and  built  ' 
his  house  which  stood  perhaps  a  hundred  feet  east  of  the  present  home  of  Mrs. 
Juliette  Y.  Curtis,  No.  309  Broad  street. 

Captain  Webb  and  his  wife  lived  until  179O.  When  he  died  he  left  no  children 
and  willed  tlie  irreater  part  of  his  estate  to  his  kinsman,  Renjamin  Hart,  whose  aunt 
he  had  marricM.  Me  dnubtlc^'^  tnrc  dfnvti  the  rA(\  house  and  erected  the  present 
home  of  Mrs.  Curtis  on  the  then  new  turnpike.

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Captain  \\  ebb's  kiiuWiess  of  bcart  was  so  great  that  he  left  his  two  negro 
slaves,  Joe  and  Daphy  Prinn,  a  handsome  competence,  and  ^ve  them  their  free- 
dom. They  afterwards  lived  on  Paddock  avenue,  near  the  home  of  another  ex- 
slave,  Chatham  Freeman  (wlio  had  earned  his  freedom  by  serving  in  the  Revolu'- 
tion  in  place  of  his  master,  Noah  Vale).  His  house  stood  oti  I'aildock  avenue,  near 
the  private  driveway  leading  to  the  home  of  Charles  Z.  Murdock.  The  commis- 
sions of  John  Webb  as  lieutenant  and  captain  hang  in  the  Curtis  Memorial  library. 
The  farm  was  a  large  one  and  extended  westerly  quite  to  the  property  of  the 
Curtis  Home,  and  was  bounded  on  the  north  partly  by  the  liluhway  to  be  de- 
scribed and  the  farm  of  Rev,  Theojihilus  Hall.  This  highway  passed  to  the 
west  from  Curtis  street,  following  the  general  line  of  New  street  until  it  reached 
prcsiMit  l*^lm  street  when  it  turnpfl  dinf^onnlly  tf^  the  northwest  iTTitil  it  met  ClHve 
street,  and  then  westerly  in  the  same  (hrrrtinn  ii<nv  followed  hy  that  street  to 
Coiintr)  road  or  Colony  street.  At  its  junctHm  on  the  south  side  was  the  home 
of  Stephen  Atwatcr  already  mentioned.  Olive  street,  east  of  the  junction  with 
this  uld  street  was  not  in  existetice  until  many  years  later.  This  highway  now 
described  must  have  been  tlie  course  of  the  parson  to  the  house  of  his  friend,  John 
Merriam.  standing  in  what  i>  iu>w  the  jimction  of  Main  and  Colony  streets. 

If  the  parson  liad  wished  to  visit  his  friend.  Deacon  Sanuiel  Royce.  he  wi'iil  ] 
have  passed  south  down  Curtis  street  until  he  came  to  the  road  that  runs  wot 
and  comes  out  on  C  nlony  street  just  somli  of  the  South  harms  school  house  near 
Archer's  corner.  This  road  passes  just  south  of  Sacred  Heart  eeineter\  and  is 
the  only  means  of  approach.  The  land  in  that  vicinity  for  many  acres  aruund 
once  belonged  to  the  CowIe>  t.uuily.  In  houses  that  have  long  since  disappeared 
north  and  Mjuth  of  the  road  lived  Deacon  Ebenezer  Cowles  and  his  sons.  Joseph. 
Jr.  and  Ebenezer,  Jr.  In  the  house  on  the  south  side  was  born  Elisha,  the  father 
of  Major  Elisha  .\.  Cowles.  the  most  prominent  figure  in  Meridgn  in  the  hrA 
half  of  the  last  century.  This  Cowles  family  was  not  related  to  the  Cole  family 
that  owned  the  large  farm  in  the  north  part  of  Meriden,  so  far  as  w«  know,  al- 
though the  names  were  the  same  originally.  The  first  of  the  Cowles  family  to 
live  in  Meriden  was  J(ise;>h,  who  came  here  from  Famiington,  and  married  Abi- 
gail, the  daughter  of  Samuel  Royce  on  July  13,  1699.  His  father-in-law  gave 
him  a  farm  just  south  of  Archer's  corner  in  South  Farms  district  and  in  the  year 
1701, 107  acres  up  the  hill  on  the  old  highway  down  which  we  can  fancy  the  good 
parson  descending  after  stopping,  perhaps,  to  chat  with  some  of  this  Cowles  fam- 
ily, who  were  always  very  prominent  in  church  matters.  It  is  difficult  to  believe 
that  on  the  summit  of  this  hill,  called  Ox  Hilt,  there  was  once  a  colony  of  Cowleses 
and  also  Rices,  for  so  far  as  the  writer  can  discover  there  is  not  the  least  remnant 
of  the  depression  of  a  cellar  to  mark  the  site  of  a  house  anywhere  in  the  victfiit>': 
but  there  is  no  doubt  that  here  they  lived  for  several  genetattons.   The  highway

was  laid  out  in  1723.  following  a  path.  It  runs  through  from  Colony  street  to 
Yale  avcnue.Jiist  north  oi  the  famihoiise  of  Levi  Yale. 

As  has  already  been  mentioned  tlie  South  Farms  district  was  at  first  called 
Milking  ^'ard  and  later  Royce's  (or  Rices  as  \vc  may  now  begin  to  call  it;  for  at 
this  elate  the  name  began  to  assume  the  modern  form)  T'arms.  But  this  later 
name  embraced  a  nmch  larqer  tract  than  that  known  as  South  Farms. 

It  began  at  the  town  Ime  and  extended  up  Colony  or  Country  road  on  both 
5:de<=.  nntil  it  enihrnred  a  lartre  part  of  what  is  Waltmt  drove  cemetery  to-day  and

son and  which  wa>  ^rlch  a  niixttire  of  metaphysical  and  religious  problems  that

don, where  he  wa>-  elected  a  delegate  to  the  General  Court  in  liurlford.  and  was 
a  respected  and  intluentia!  man.    His  four  sons.  Xehemiah.  Sanniel.  Xailianiel  and 
Isaac,  came  to  Wallingford  among  the  first  i)lanters.  and  all  of  them  except  Xa- 
thaniel  took  the  major  part  of  their  land  grants  at  Milking  Yard,  although,  doubt- 
less, having  their  homes  in  Wallingford  village.   These  four  sons  were  the  fath- 
ers of  nnmerous  sons»  and  to  many  of  them  were  given  the  paternal  and  fraternal 
names,  with  utter  disregard  to  the  trouble  that  was  to  be  the  lot  of  those  of  modem 
days  wfK>  should  attempt  to  assign  to  each  his  pro^KT  place  in  a  genealc^cal  tree. 
But  out  of  the  tangle  we  can,  at  least,  extricate  these  facts.   Samuel  had  a  son, 
Rolicft,  bom  in  1674,  to  whom  he  gave  a  large  tract  of  land  in  1706,  at  the  south- 
ern end  of  Milking  Yard,  and  adjoining  the  farm  of  his  son-in-law,  Joseph 
Cowles:  it  was  notth  and  west  of  it.   One  gift  conveyed  100  acres  and  there  were 
subsequent  gifts  and  purchases.   It  was  this  Robert  who  made  the  deposition  in 
1748  about  the  Country  farms  and  Cole's  Path.^  His  farm  extended  beyond  the 
river  on  the  west,  and  was  bounded  on  the  east  by  the  Country  road.  His  house 
stood  where  the  Archer  homestead  is  located.  This  house  cannot  have  been  built  as 
long  ago  as  r7o6,  although  it  is  a  very  old  one.   The  earliest  notice  of  the  present 
one  was  in  1740  when  the  highway  running  west  from  it  was  opened.   This  road 
went  directly  across  the  river  and  did  not  curve  towards  the  northwest  and  cross

at  the  point  wIktc  tlic  bridge  is  r.uw  located.  This  (hvclliiigf  is  one  of  the  best  pre- 
served of  the  old  colonial  homes  in  Meriden. 

It  has  been  kept  in  fine  repair  and  there  have  been  many  additions,  notwith- 
standing which,  the  line  of  the  lean-to  can  be  plainly  traced.  The  interior,  perhaps, 
better  preserves  the  appearance  of  age  than  the  e.xterior.  Robert,  like  several 
other  members  of  the  Rice  family,  was  a  deacon  and  a  man  of  substance  and  in- 
fluence. At  the  end  of  the  eighteenth  century  a  part  of  the  farm  containing  the 
dwelling  was  sold  to  John  Xott  by  one  of  the  Rice  heirs  and  on  December  5.  1801. 
he  sold  it  to  Caleb  Wilcox.  .At  his  death  about  1830.  Mrs.  Maria  Carter,  an  heir 
of  Mr.  Wilcox,  became  the  owner  and  in  1866  she  sold  it  to  Mrs.  Harriet  A. 
Archer,  the  wife  of  Dr.  H.  A.  .Archer.  It  is  now  owned  by  their  daughter.  Mrs. 
Agnes  C.  Butler.

North  of  the  Robert  Rice  fami  was  one  that  originally  belonged  to  Isaac  Rice, 
but  later  was  bought  of  his  heirs  by  Dr.  William  Hough  as  early  as  1730.  The 
greater  part  of  his  farm  is  now  included  in  Walinit  Grove  cemetery.  Dr.  Hough 
was  the  second  physician  mentioned  on  the  Wallingford  records.  He  was  the 
uncle  of  Daniel  Hough  who  lived  on  Curtis  street  and  great  uncle  of  Dr.  Insign 
Hough,  Daniel's  son.  Dr.  William  Hough  leased  a  part  of  his  farm  "west  from 
his  house.''  to  an  ass«xiation  of  Meriden  men  for  mining  copper  in  173^).  It  ad- 
joined the  Golden  Parlor  Mining  Co.'s  operati(Mis  <in  the  west,  and  as  every  one 
knows,  the  remains  of  the  shafts  of  this  latter  company  can  still  be  seen  in  the

west  part  of  the  cemetery.  Dr.  Hough  hved  here  until  1740  when  he  moved  to 
Cheshire  and  later  to  Haddam. 

That  this  is  tlic  original  house  it  is  imixjssible  to  assert.  Rut  it  is  certainly 
a  very  old  dwelling  and  it  occupies  the  site  of  the  Dr.  Hough  home.  Age  has 
raised  havoc  with  the  floor  beams  and  sills  in  the  cellar,  and  it  has  been  found 
necessary  to  reinforce  and  strengthen  them.  After  the  doctor  moved  away,  his 
son  William  lived  here  and  had  a  blacksmith  shop  adjoining  his  house,  for  he 
was  the  smith  of  Rice's  farms.  About  the  year  1800  it  was  bought  by  Cornelius 
Hull  who  lived  in  it  a  few  years,  hi  the  year  1807  Ichabod  Wood,  who  came  here 
from  North  Haven,  acquired  the  property,  and  he  and  his  son,  Xorman,  lived 
here  with  their  families  many  years.  At  his  death  in  1843  Ichabod  owned  a  farm 
of  1 12  acres,  which  was  inherited  bv  Xorman,  and  the  old  house  is  known  to  most

more  than  twenty  years  ago  by  the  Walnut  Grove  Cemetery  association.  There 
is  no  prettier  stretch  of  meadow  in  Meriden,  rolling  as  it  does  in  gentle  slopes  that 
open  here  and  there  with  glimpses  of  further  hills  and  dales,  while  in  the  distance 
the  spires  01  Wallingford  lend  a  quiet  and  peaceful  charm  to  the  landscape  that 
is  in  harmony  w  ith  the  environment. 

We  left  the  Reverend  Theophilus  coming  down  O.x  Hill  and  by  this  time  he 
lias  doubtless  had  his  little  chat  with  Deacon  Robert  Rice  and  is  now  well  up  the 
road  towards  Doctor  Hough's,  so  we  will  join  him  and  continue  on  his  course.

Stopping  a  moment  while  he  steps  to  the  door  of  Daniel  Holt's  to  see  that  all  is 
well  within.  The  site  of  this  house  is  now  occupied  by  a  modern  dwelling,  a 
square,  flat-roofed  structure  opposite  the  north  entrance  to  the  cemetery.  The 
road  now  running  east  a  few  hundred  feet  north  of  this  house  is  an  old  one  and 
was  laid  out  in  1723  and  we  call  it  Holt's  Hill  road.  It  ran  also  west  from 
Colony  road  until  it  joined  the  road  that  was  laid  out  in  1744  to  mark 
W'allingford  north  bounds.  Much  of  the  west  highway  is  still  in  existence,  al- 
though the  entrance  to  it  on  Colony  street  is  now  almost  a  cliff  owing  to  the  cut 
that  has  been  made  in  this  latter  road.    The  parson  passes  on  this  road  to  the  west.

in  every  way.  In  the  (>1<!  house  lived  SaniucP  an{l  it  was  afterwards  (iwiicd  by 
his  son,  Ezekiel,  who  was  a  buldicr  in  the  French  and  Indian  wars  an<l  rejoiced 
in  the  title  of  Esquire.  His  son.  F.^ckiel.  Jr.,  who  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revokitionary 
war,  built  the  house  now  standinj^,  un  land  p^iven  him  by  his  father,  in  1781. 

It  is  a  style  different  from  any  other  aneient  dwelHntf  in  Meriden  in  that  it 
i;a^  two  ehiinneys.  one  at  either  end.  and  thruugh  the  middle  runs  a  hallway. 
The  iiousc  is  s(»  sheltered  by  fine  old  trees  and  the  ground  is  so  graded  to  meet 
the  style  of  dueilinf^  that  there  seems  to  be  a  sort  of  mutual  adaptability,  the  ef- 
fect of  which  is  heij^hlened  1)\  the  small  picket  fence  in  front.    AUoj^ether  the 
hou«<.  has  the  appearance  of  belon.^iu^  there  because  it  grew  there,  and  about  it  is  a 
ijJaKitness  and  quiet  charm  tl.al  is   very  pleasing  and  restful.    The  broad 
acres  of  the  larm  extend  in  all  directions  in  pastoral  lieauty.  and  the  effect  of  the 
homestead  is  so  striking  thai  ii  is  only  necessary  to  call  it  the  t  Jliver  Rice  place  to 
identify  it  in  every  one's  mind  who  has  lived  in  Meriden  long  enough  to  l)ecome 
faniiJiar  with  the  country  round  about.    In  their  ancestral  home  still  live  .Miss 
Anna  C.  and  William  T.  Rice  with  their  mother,  the  widow  of  the  late  Oliver 
Rice,  while  another  daughter,  the  wife  of  Dr,  E.  W.  Smith,  lives  in  a  house  not 
far  aiv-ay.  built  by  her  husband  on  a  part  of  the  home  farm. 

Among  the  first  planters  of  Wallingford  appears  the  name  of  Samuel 
Andrews,  son  of  William,  who  signed  the  Fundamental  Agreement  of  New  Ha- 
ven in  i6j9,  and  was  one  of  the  twelve  appointed  to  choose  among  themselves  the 
men  who  were  to  be  the  pillars  of  the  new  church,  and  built  the  first  meeting 
house  there.  Altogether  this  William  was  an  important  man  in  New  Haven 
colony.  Samuel,  the  grandson  of  Samuel  the  first  of  Wallingford,  bought  several 
tracts  of  bnd  in  Meriden  parish  during  the  decade  from  1720  in  the  western  part 
of  the  town  that  aggregated  200  to  300  acres.  It  may  be  roughly  stated  as  bound- 
ed by  the  ^[er^iam  farm  on  the  north  or  West  Main  street,  the  Stephen  At  water 
farm  on  the  east,  or  Cook  avenue ;  it  ran  south  to  Harbor  brook  and  perhaps  some^ 
what  beyond,  certainly  including  Hemlock  grove,  and  on  the  west  it  ran  over 
nearly  to  Allen  avenue. 

It  is  impossible  to  give  thoroughly  accurate  bounds  of  any  of  these  old  farms, 
for  the  planters  were  constantly  buying  and  selling  land,  and  in  proportion  to  the 
inhabitants  the  number  of  transfers  were  vastly  greater  than  they  are  to-day. 
I^nd  and  cattle  were  about  all  they  had  to  sell,  and  the  old  records  fairly  groan 
under  the  number  of  entries,  and  the  position  of  town  clerk  was  no  sinecure. 

The  Andrews  family,  like  most  of  the  others,  was  numerous  and  their  position 
.x\  the  comnumity  was  always  an  eminently  respectable  one,  although  their  early 
illiance  with  the  Church  of  England  seems  to  have  i)revented  their  holding  many 
town  oAkes.   The  house  of  Samuel  Andrews  stood  in  the  rear  and  slightly  to

near  the  junction  of  Gale  avenue,  was  once  probably  the  home  of  Abel  Rice.  At 
least,  his  house  was  on  this  site  and  the  present  one  is  apparently  a  very  old 
dwelling:. 

Abel  Rice  was  the  son  of  Samuel  and  was  born  in  1700  and  this  land  came  into 
his  possession  in  1722,  a  gift  from  his  father.  He  appears  to  have  been  livings  on 
this  farm  as  tarly  as  1733.  The  house  is  certainly  a  very  ancient  one ;  although  it 
has  lost  some  of  its  original  features,  it  still  preserves  sufficient  to  show  that  it 
was  built  in  the  days  when  the  great  massive  beams  in  the  ceilings  of  kitchen  and 
parlor  showed  their  strength  by  boldly  crossing  from  the  great  chimney  to  the 
outsi<le  walls  without  being  concealed.  The  great  chimney  has  disappeared  and 
there  have  been  several  additions  built.

known  by  this  latter  name.  I'inally  William  Vale  bought  it  and  at  his  death  in 
1833  it  was  left  to  his  daughter  Mary,  the  wife  of  Francis  A.  Gale,  and  has  con-

EARLY  HISTORY. 


There  were  two  other  ancient  farms  of  which  no  mention  has  been  made.  The 
•^rst  was  the  Hough  fann  in  the  northeast  part  of  the  town.    It  was  located  on 

what  is  known  as  the  Westfield  road,  and  inchided  a  large  tract  of  land.  Samuel 
:  Hough,  the  immediate  progenitor  of  the  Meriden  family,  owned  a  tract  of  land 
.that  is  at  present  known  as  the  Joseph  Hou^h  farm ;  it  is  south  of  the  old  Yale 

farm,  just  ovcr  in  the  Wallingford  line,  and  it  inckules  the  Spruce  Glen  or  Gutter 
xlistrict,  where  Samuel  apparently  owned  and  worked  a  sawmill  at  an  early  date. 
-J*' He  was  the  fatiier  of  Dr.  William  Hough,  whose  home  has  been  described,  and 

also  of  James  Hougli.  who  in  the  year  1730  bouj^ht  of  the  Way  family  two  acres 
^  of  land  in  the  bend  of  the  Harbor ;  sufficient  as  the  deed  says  for  a  sawmill  to 

stand  on.    In  the  early  days  that  part  of  Harbor  brook  was  always  called  the 

"bend."  The  pond  was  then  constructed  and  the  mill  site  we  now  know  as  Bald« 
^  win's;  but  it  cnntinned  to  be  known  as  Hough's  until  iji/)  when  James  Baldwin 

boug^ht  an  interest.  He  was  the  ancestor  of  several  of  the  Baldwin  families  in  Mt  r- 

idcn,  notably  Moses  (whose  son,  Nathan  S.,^  still  has  his  home  in  the  northeast  dis- 
A  trict)  and  Ransom,  w-ho  was  the  father  of  Mrs.  Russell  Hall  and  Mrs.  Benjamin 
L  Kennard,  of  this  city.  The  old  James  Hough  homestead  was  built  probably  as 
li  early  as  1740. 

As  may  readily  he  perceived,  it  is  a  very  ancient  huildinj;-.  and  when  the  i)hu- 
tog^raph  was  taken  it  still  [jreserved  its  stoiu-  cliimiiev.    It  was  ac(|uired  liy  James 
Baldwin  after  he  bought  the  mill  property  and  it  is  now  the  home  of  ( ianlner  W.

Houg^h  dwellinj^.  hiiilt  by  a  son  oi  James.    Xorth  an<l  east  of  the  llou^h  |»nt|»erty 
was  the  larj^c  farm  of  James  Scnvill.    He  came  to  Meriden  as  early  as  frmu 
Middletown.  and  f<tr  several  .^eMe^ali(Ml^  the  Scovill  family  was  prominent  an<l 
'^j  well  known  in  Meriden.  I)ut  the  name  has  become  extinct  in  this  vicinity.    The  late

<1|  Scovill  hou.ses  have  all  disappeared,  one  or  two  of  them  by  fire. 

The  hij^huay  kadinf^  to  these  Houjjh  and  Scovill  farms,  known  now  as  Bri- 
tannia street  and  Wcstficld  roa<l.  was  laid  out  in  173').  Wall  street,  which  was  also 
laid  out  in  the  .same  year,  le«l  from  Liberty  street  to  IlouL^h's  or  Baldwin's  Mill;

A  CEXTLKY  OF  MERJUliN. 


CHAPTER  XI. 

Having  now  iiia(>ped  out  the  various  farms  and  located  their  owners  in 
the  parish  of  Meriden  those  who  have  had  the  patience  to  follow  the  narrative 
ought  to  have  a  fair  idea  of  the  topography  and  general  appearance  of 
the  country  which  has  since  grown  into  the  town  of  Meriden.  There  was  no  pan 
that  bore  an  appearance  of  a  village,  for  the  farms  were  scattered  here  and  there 
and  the  homes  of  the  fanners  were  seldom  contiguous. 
•  The  first  notice  of  distinct  religious  services  held  in  Meriden  appears  in  a  vote 
on  the  town  records  of  Wallingford  under  date  of  December  ist,  1724^  as  follows: 

"In  respect  of  y'  north  farmers  the  town  voated  that  they  may  hire  a  Minister 
four  months  this  winter  on  their  own  charg^/' 

The  clistancc  from  Wallinpf* 'kI  was  considerable  and  the  request  to  be  al- 
lowx'd  to  hold  separate  services  in  the  winter  was  such  a  reasonable  one  that  it 
could  not  be  refused.  This  vr.tc  was  the  first  act  that  in  any  way  separated  the 
territory  of  Meriden  from  Wallingford  or  that  recognized  that  these  nortli  far- 
mers were  a  distinct  community.  The  year  previous  the  General  Assembly  had 
added  the  territory  nortli  of  Liherty  street  and  south  of  Meriden  Farm  to  thf 
lists  of  VVaUiiif?ford,  as  has  been  told  in  a  i)revious  chapter. 

At  a  meeting  held  in  "Wallingford  Aprill  y*'  27  1725:  the  town  voated

EARLY  HISTORY. 


<  leneral  Court  did  grant  the  lands  "North  of  our  boimds"  as  already  related  and 
ihey  therefore  became  a  separate  society  in  May,  1725.  Ih  May,  1728,  tlie  farm 
'  1  Aferidcn  was  added  and  the  parish  henceforth  was  known  under  that  name  as 
has  been  related  on  a  f«  irmer  page.  It  is  a  fair  inference,  tlu  refore,  that  from  De- 
ccmt)cr  I.  1724,  the  Meriden  farmers  held  sq>arate  church  services  in  their  own 
territory.^ 

The  story  of  the  building  of  the  church  has  been  to\(\  so  often  that 
the  tradition  must  be  familiar  to  everv  one  who  has  paid  any  attention  to  our 
tarly  annals.  To  thoroughly  understand  it  one  must  picture  in  one's  mind's  eye 
•he  appearance  of  Ann  street.  A  highway  ten  rods  wide,  it  ran  from  Curtis  street 
eastward  tip  MeeliiiLi  liouse  or  Dctr  Hill,  over  the  brow  and  nearly  down  to 
uliat  is  now  Swayiie  avi-iuK.  Tlie  burying  ground  was  in  the  highway  and  so 
was  the  church.  The  writer  limited  in  vain  for  an  act  of  the  town  or  of  a  pri- 
\ate  person,  sequestering  tlie  land  for  these  sacred  purposes,  until  he  suddenly 
discovered  that  the  r<>ad  was  105  feet  wide;  then  the  situali<in  was  apparent. 
Vale  avenue  w  as  not  in  exi.slcnce,  and  instead  of  by  tliat  rouie.  »»ne  coming  to  the 
Uirying  ground  from  Miller  avenue  used  a  road  that  can  still  be  traced  a  little 
west  of  Swaync  avenue  and  reaching  Meeting  House  Hill  highway  a  little  east 
<ji  the  burying  ground. 

The  tra«litton  telh  t!s  that  the  farmers  living  in  Milking  Yard,  Pilgrims'  Har- 
Ixr  and  south  of  Merideu  I-~arni  wished  the  church  to  be  located  near  the  junction 
of  Curtis  and  Ann  streets,  while  those  living  alxnit  Dogs'  Misery  desired  it  to  be 
placed  further  east  on  the  spot  that  was  finally  chosen.  The  material  was  all  in 
place  in  this  latter  locality,  ready  to  be  put  into  shape  ;  but  during  the  night  a  parly 
of  men,  presumably  the  Royces,  the  Merriams.  the  Fosters,  the  Collinses  and  Rob- 
insons, brought  teams  and  hauled  the  material  up  the  hill  to  the  west,  to  the  place

where  they  wished  tlie  meeting  house  located.  The  next  day  when  the  act  was  di* 
covered  there  was  great  wrath  on  the  part  of  the  Dogs'  Misery  residents,  and  ik 
Iveses,  the  Yales,  the  Levits,  the  Whitings  and  the  Halls  compelled  the  men.  whfl 
had  worked  all  night  to  carry  out  their  darling  project,  to  spend  the  following  dai 
hauling  the  same  material  back  to  the  spot  whence  they  had  removed  it.  Whethet 
there  is  any  truth  to  the  tradition  one  cannot  tell,  but  it  was  firmly  believed  fifty 
years  ago.  Mr.  Perkins  says  that  the  church  was  about  thirty  feet  scpiare.  anij 
built  in  the  very  plainest  style.  ,

From  various  evidences  in  the  land  records  of  which  he  has  made  a  careful 
study  the  writer  is  convinced  that  the  old  meeting  house  site  is  accurately  marked 
by  the  great  l)oulder  set  on  the  western  slope  of  .Meeting  House  hill,  by  the  l  ir^' 
Congregational  Society,  in  the  fall  of  1904.  .\round  this  church  there  were  pro'>- 
ably  several  Sabbath  day  houses.  There  certainly  was  one.  which  was  distinctly 
mentioned  in  a  deed  in  1740  as  standing  on  the  land  north  of  the  church.  Thert 
is  no  record  of  one  in  the  highway  except  in  an  inventory  of  the  estate  of  Robert

1728.^  the  Reverend  Theophilus  Hall  began  to  preach  here  and  probably  reg- 
y  thereafter.  Early  in  the  following  year  a  petition  was  presented  to  the 
rral  Assembly,  for  at  the  May  session  the  following  vote  was  passed :

"This  A$seni1)]\  do  ^rant  liberty  to  the  inhabitants  of  the  society  of  Meirida 
in  the  town  of  Wallingford,  to  eniliody  themselves  into  church  estate  and  sett] 
with  them  an  orthodDx  gospel  minister:  the  said  inhabitants  first  obtaining  ih 
consent  of  the  neighboring  churches/' 

The  first  church  record,  made  by  Mr.  Hall,  reads  as  follows :  | 

"Wallingford  (Meriden  in  Wallingford)  Oct  9th  1729 

on  the  8th  day  of  this  inst  the  C  liri>tian  I'.rethren  of  Meriden  the  Xorth  Socid 
in  Wallingford  met  together  at  their  meeting  house  with  myself  to  come  to  3 
agreement  as  to  matters  of  discipline  in  said  church  that  was  about  to  be  setti^ 
in  that  place. 

And  tlie  agreement  between  them  and  myself  according  to  which  it  should 
practiced  in  the  church  when  settled,  is  principally  comprised  in  two  things. 

1st  the  admission  of  members  which  was  that  such  as  desired  admissioi^ 
full  communion  should  stand  propounded  a  fortnight  at  least,  and  none  01  1 
Brethren  making  any  motions  or  objections  should  be  admitted. 

2d  as  to  duty  witii  ofYenders  that  the  church  should  have  a  vote  in  order  to  p 
a  sensure  upon  any,  and  at  the  conclusion  of  the  meeting  I  repeated  the  agreemc 
as  above  written  and  told  them  that  I  should  look  upon  it  as  an  unanimous  agn 
ment  if  none  objected  and  not  one  did  object  anything  against  it. 

Theophilus  Hall" 

This  prei'minary  having  been  settled,  on  "tlic  22d  of  October  a  churcli  v^i 
gathered  on  a  fast  day  observed  by  the  society :  and  the  2qth  of  the  same  nioq

Although  Mr,  Hall  bej^n  to  preach  in  Meriden  on  December  i.  1728,  he  did 
X  become  a  resident  in  llic  jiarish  until  Aug.  24,  1734.^  At  this  time  his  house 
:the  sonihcast  comer  of  Curtis  and  Ann  streets  was  probably  finished  and  hence- 
Kth  his  residence  was  in  Meriden.  This  delay  in  coming  here  to  dwell  was 
irhaps  due  to  the  small  amount  paid  him  for  his  services.  He  did  not  begin  to 
tep  accurate  parish  records  until  this  date,  showing  that  his  whole  time  and  at- 
nv.on  had  not  been  g^iven  to  Meriden  parish  previously. 

Ihjt  the  ijood  parson  after  his  removal  to  Meriden  was  faithful  and  unremit- 
in  his  attention  to  his  duties  and  his  forceful  character  made  a  gfreat  and  cn- 
fnn£:  imprc^vinn  on  his  little  flock;  discipline  was  tiniily  enforced  in  his  cliuicli

Test,  Theo.  Hall,  i'astor. 

At  a  church  meeting  in  Meriden  April  15.  1745,  the  case  of  the  al)o\^  irei 
tic>iK  <l  brethren  was  laid  bchire  the  church  for  consideration,  beini:  broui^hi  on  I 
the  alle^led  copy  of  the  complaint  to  civil  authority  &  the  iud^eineni  of 
against  them,  for  disorders  in  the  night  season  in  asseml)bng  togeibt-r  with  Kj 
&  horns,  etc.,  which  was  laid  before  the  Church  &  the  said  l-.nos  C/uriis.  Xu«ih 
&  David  Ives  before  the  church  acknowledged  that  the  said  actions  were  uri'i 
justifiable  nor  comuiendaljle  they  were  really  sorry  that  they  hatl  any  1  ;^ 
in  it  &  promised  that  they  would  do  so  no  more  di:  the  church  by  their  vote  accrjj 
ed  them  to  communion — &  .said  Henj"  Yale  Samuel  lA'vit  &  David  Lcvit  \n<:i 
mg  their  conduct  in  said  affair,  the  church  unanimously  voted  to  apply  thciiiso'ij 
to  the  Association  of  N.  Haven  County  at  the  next  session  for  advice  in  tiie  cas<| 
&  then  chose  Mr.  John  Ives  &  Capt  Nathaniel  Merriam,  their  agents  to  la>  t| 
said  case  before  the  said  Association,  at  the  said  session.  Test.  Theo.  H\ 
Pastor."  ' 

I 

Mr.  Ives  refused  to  act  and  Capt.  Merriam  was  made  sole  agent.  The 
ciatton  advised  the  church  to  hold  the  recalcitrant  members  tinder  suspension  1 
til  the}  agreed  "to  do  so  no  more." 

This  action  shows  that  the  member.':  of  the  communitv  were  held  severeK 
dieck  and  illustrates  how  closelv  the  parson  guarded  his  flock  from  worldly  o 
tamination. 

The  General  Statutes  also  contained  this  clause : 

"And  that  whatsoever  Person  shall  not  duly  Attend  the  Public  Worship  of  <! 
on  the  Lord^s  Day  in  some  congregation  by  Law  allowed  unless  hindered  by  s» 
ness  or  otherways  Necessarily  Detained  or  Hindered  shall  incur  the  penalty 
Three  Shillivgs  for  every  such  Offense." 

This  law  was  not  a  dead  letter  b\  any  means.  Among  the  papers  treasurd 
the  Oliver  Rice  homestead  in  South  Meriden  is  one  of  which  the  folIowin|r  j 
copy :

Ebencztr  Cowles;  grand  Juryman.  " 

It  b  fortunate  for  many  that  there  is  no  such  law  now  in  force  and  that  good 
Deacon  Cowles  has  long  been  gathered  to  his  fathers. 

There  are.many  references  in  old  records  to  the  custom  of  "dignifying  the  meet- 
ing house."  It  was  a  fonnal  undertaking  and  one  that  required  great  care  and  cir- 
cumspection.  Perhaps  a  better  idea  of  the  rules  observed  can  be  gained  from  the 
foHowtng  vote  passed  in  a  Wallingford  town  meeting  on  Nov.  s*  ^7^t  than  by  an 
attempt  at  a  more  elaborate  description. 

"Y*  rules  that  s^  committee  are  to  attend  in  y*  work  of  seating  are  as  follow- 
eth  viz.  to  have  respect  to  y*  aged  amongst  us  that  has  been  ser\'isable  in  y*  town, 
this  to  be  left  to  y*  comitee  to  do  in  y'  matter  as  they  shall  think  most  just  decent 
&  reasonable  &  y^  s^  comittee  shall  have  respect  to  those  men  that  do  St  have  borne 
commissions  as  they  are  to  have  respect  to  y*  aged  as  above  s^,  that  is  to  say  what 
is  just  decent  &  reasonable  &  voated  the  generall  rule  for  y«  comittee  in  seatting 
y*  meeting  house  shall  be  the  lists  on  which  y*  charge  has  been  raised  heads  only 
exempted  &  layed  a  two  penny  rate  to  be  raised  on  this  present  list  for  the  defray- 
ing the  charge  in  finishing  the  meeting  house*'  etc.,  etc.  "April  25  1721  voated  that 
no  young  men  shall  go  up  into  y*  upper  gallery  to  sitt  there  on  y*  Sabbath  day  un- 
der iS  years  old." 

Would  tl'at  wf  could  have  an  a(le(|iiate  picture  of  this  little  church  half  way  up 
the  slope  of  Meeting  House  ilill  with  its  faithful  ])astor  and  devoted  tlock.  Pcr- 
liai)>  we  wrong  them  in  calling  it  church.  rhe>e  Christians  of  colonial  days  bit- 
terly resented  such  a  term  for  their  house  of  worshi]).  Tn  their  doctrine,  the 
church  was  the  Ixxly  of  believers  and  thev  ^auj^  their  sonj;s  of  prai>e.  followed  the 
the  prax  ers  of  the  mini'>ter.  and  listened  i(»  his  exht trlations.  in  the  "nu  etinj;  house.** 
If  on  the  Lord's  day  one  of  these  early  Meriden  farmers  had  been  asked  'are  you 
going  to  church?"  the  reply  would  have  been  swift  and  in  no  uncertain  tones,  "no 
Sir!  I  am  gc>ing  to  mectin'.** 

The  temperature  of  the  meeting  house  in  winter  imist  have  been  frightful  at 
times,  for  there  was  never  any  artificial  heat  allow-cd  <xcept  that  the  women  in 
bitter  weather  carried  foot  stoves,  little  square  metal  boxes,  filled  with  glowing 
coals  from  the  home  hearth  anil  replenished.  i)crhai)s.  at  noon  from  the  hearihslone 
of  the  Sabba* -day  house.  These  were  all  that  made  the  icy  cold  bearable  to  the 
women.  "Men  with  bald  s{)ots  on  their  heads  were  often  conipi-llecl  to  put  their 
mittens  thereon  to  keep  their  heads  warni,"^  and  the  stamping  of  feet  sometimes

quite  drowned  the  voice  of  the  preacher.  The  congregation  stood  while  the  tntn- 
ister  led  the  prayers,  and  the  sermons  were  timed  by  an  hour  glass  which  wasj 
sometimes  turned  twice  before  the  word  **lastly'*  was  heard;  while  the  tithing 
man  saw  that  order  was  kept,  particularly  in  the  galleries^  and  prevented  aav 
"tired**  individual  from  leaving  before  "meeting"  was  ended. 

The  singing  must  have  been  anything  but  pleasing  accordii^  to  our 
modem  ideas,  for  there  was  never  instrumental  accompaniment.  At  this 
date  there  were  no  singing  schools^  and  each  congregation  evidently  had 
■  its  own  idea  of  producing  sweet  melody,  and  the  results  must  have  frequently 
been  atrocious.  Just  what  version  of  the  psalms  was  used  in  Meriden  we  do  not 
know.  It  may  have  been  that  contained  in  the  Bay  Psalm  Book  which  was  used 
in  many  New  England  churches.  This  book  was  anything  but  creditable  to  New  ^ 
England  scholarship,  for  the  versification  was  appalling,  and  the  meter  and  rh}-thm 
was  something  almost  ludicrous.  But  the  hymns  were  certainly  sung  and  prob- 
ably answered  the  purpose  until  perhaps  Stcrnhold  and  Hopkin's  version  %Nai> 
adopted.  "A  New  Version  of  the  Psalms  of  David  by  N,  Brady  and  N.  Tate"' 
could  not  have  heen  used  until  after  Parson  Hall's  death  for  we  find  on  the  society 
records  of  W'allingford  at  about  that  date,  a  record  that  for  a  number  of  monihs 
at  Dr.  Dana's  desire  they  had  made  trial  of  that  version  and  have  now  decidtvl 
to  adopt  it  permanently.^  ProhaM\  Mcridcn  fell  in  line  shortly  after.  We  tind 
now  and  then  a  society  record  relating  to  the  choir  as,  for  instar.ce.  on  "Feb  7 
1774  voted  that  choristers  shall  sit  in  next  i)e\v  north  of  pulj)it"  :  on  March  8,  1777. 
"voted  that  Jonathan  Vale  and  Caleb  Merrinian  Jr  assist  the  choristers."  Feb.  3. 
1783,  "voted  that  Joel  Rice  assist  in  singing,"  and  on  Dec.  26,  1786,  "Bamabo 
Meky  was  chosen  assistant  chorister/' 

The  j)eoi)le  were  summoned  to  meeting  by  the  beating  of  a  drum,  and  tht 
records  of  W'allingford  contain  one  or  two  references  to  the  election  of  an  o6ker 
for  this  duty. 

The  election  of  deacons  took  i)lace  shortly  after  the  organization  of  the  societ\. 
On  December  14,  1729,  Samuel  Royce  was  selected  the  first  deacon,  and  some  day>

later  Robert  Royce  was  elected  as  his  colleague ;  both  these  men  lived  in  the  south- 
western part  of  the  parish,  in  or  near  to  Milking  Yard.  They  were  undoubtedly 
of  great  asssistance  to  the  pastor,  and  must  have  been  satisfactory  to  the  congre- 
gation as  well  for  they  served  without  additional  colleagues  until  1748  when  Ben- 
jamin Whiting  and  Benjamin  Royce  were  elected  in  November  of  that  year. 

The  little  meeting  house  on  the  western  slope  of  Meeting  House  Hill  continued 
in  use  for  at  least  twenty-five  years.  As  the  inhabitants  increased  in  numbers  it 
was  seen  that  it  had  ser\'ed  its  purpose  and  that  a  new  house  must  be  provided. 

We  have  learned  that  there  was  a  very  decided  disagreement  not  to  say  quar- 
rel when  the  location  of  the  first  meeting  house  was  chosen.  Apparently  the  same 
condftions  arose  in  deciding  where  to  place  the  second.  The  society  was 
unable  to  come  to  an  amicable  agreement,  so  the  matter  was  brought  to  the  at- 
tention of  the  county  court  at  New  Haven.  At  the  January  session,  1750-51, 
Josiah  Robinson  and  Benjamin  Royce  as  agents  for  the  parish  "preferred  a  me- 
morial representing  that  the  inhalntants  of  parish  had  agreed  by  their  vote  to 
build  a  new  meeting  house,  and  praying  the  court  to  appoint  a  judicious  and  dis- 
interested committee  to  repair  to  s'  parish  and  view  the  same  and  affix  a  place/' 
Accordingly  the  court  appointed  John  Hitchcock,  Deodate  Davenport  and  John 
Hubbard  a  committee  and  what  they  did  appears  in  the  following  memorial  on 
■  file  in  Vol  IX.  relating  to  ecclesiastical  matters  in  the  State  Library  at  Hartford : 
*'We.  the  subscribers.  Did  on  y*  16*^  Day  of  March,  1751,  repair  to  s*  Society  and 
affix  a  place  and  set  a  stake  and  stones  around  it  near  a  highway  that  is  called  Ly- 
man's h^hway^  at  \^  west  part  thereof.  In  our  fixing  s*  stake  we  alowed  in  our 
ccmtptttation  2000  acres  more  north  of  stake  than  there  was  south  of  s^  stake  by 
reason  of  broken  &  rough  land,  which  [has]  among  s^  broken  land  &  north  of  it 
within  y*  bounds  of  s^  Meriden  about  six  or  seven  hundred  acres  of  passable  good 
land  as  we  judge.  In  our  setting  of  y*  stake  at  s^  time  we  did  suppose  y*"  high- 
way to  be  narrow  runs  northerly  &  southerly  &  thought  we  had  set  s**  stake 
on  y*  edge  of  y*  Rev**  Mr  Halls  land.  But  if  it  be  six  rods  wide  it  stands  a  rod 
&  a  half  in  highway  from  y*  westward  side  thereof."  This  location  was  very 
displeasing  to  Ezekiel  Ro\  ce  and  Daniel  Hough.  The  former,  as  we  know,  lived 
near  Milking  Yard  and  the  latter  at  the  comer  of  Curtis  and  Ann  streets.  There 
were,  undoubtedly,  others  who  agreed  with  them.  These  two  men  were  so  dis« 
turbed  that  they  presented  the  following  petition  to  the  May  session  of  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  1752:  "The  memorial  of  Ezekiel  Royce,  Daniel  Hough,  and  others

Society  *  *  *  *  *  and  by  the  Doings  of  said  GMirt  Concluded  of  the  Place 
for  our  meeting  House  to  our  Greivious  Disadvantage,  and  indeed  to  y*  Disadvan* 
tage  as  we  suppose  to  the  Society  in  general  and  without  relieve  unless  by  the 
Interposition  of  this  Hon^^  Assembly  whereupon  your  memorialists  beg  leave  to 
observe  that  the  Place  set  by  the  said  committee  is  upon  y*  Rev'  Mr  Theophilus 
Halls  land  which  renders  it  impracticable  to  use  the  Place  for  the  Purpose  pro- 
jected. 2<*  The  s*'  committee  acted  by  mistake  supposing  the  center  of  said  society 
to  be  north  of  the  Place  where  truly  it  ought  to  be  esteamed  by  reason  of  much 
mountainous  aiid  wast  land  in  the  northern  part  of  said  society  and  sundry  par 
eels  of  Land  received  in,  which  ought  not  to  be.  3^  There  is  another  place  South 
of  the  place  set  by  the  said  committee  much  more  commodious  and  to  which  the 
People  might  resort  with  less  Travel  and  which  your  memorialists  are  apprehen- 
sive the  maj'  part  of  the  society  would  be  better  pleased  than  the  Place  now  stated. 
Whereupon  your  Honours  memorialists  humbly  pray  this  honorable  assembly  to 
take  y*  aflFair  into  your  consideration  and  annul  set  aside  and  make  void  the  Doings 
of  the  said  county  court  and  appoint  another  committee"  etc.,  etc. 

In  answer  to  this  petition  the  Assembly  summoned  Joseph  Merriam  and  Sam- 
uel Hough  and  the  rest  of  the  inhabitants  to  appear  and  make  answer.  After 
hearing  both  sides  the  Assembly  refused  to  annul  the  action  of  the  County  Court 
and  the  committtee. 

During  the  year  the  house «was  probably  finished,  for  on  December  19.  1752. 
Mr.  Hall  deeded  a  highway  across  his  farm.  It  was  to  be  four  rods  wide  and 
to  run  north  and  south  and  to  tenninate  north  of  the  new  Meeting  House.  In 
other  words  he  deeded  a  highway  already  in  existence.   This  was  not  an  unususl 

circumstance. 

On  February  16,  1753,  Mr.  Hall  deeded  the  house  to  Nathaniel  Merriam.  Jon- 
athan Collins,  Amos  Camp  and  Timothy  Andrews,  a  committee  represent iner  the 
society.  The  society  records  until  1755  are  missing.  The  first  entry  foun<l  relat- 
ing to  the  new  church  is  under  the  date  of  December  it,  1755.  when  a  receipt  is 
entered  of  £  150,  advanced  by  Mr,  Hall  for  builrlinp:.  It  would  apjM  ir  therefore, 
that  the  church  was  built  by  Mr.  Hall  and  that  the  s(Kiet\  gradual!}  rc]>aid 
him  the  money  advanced.  His  salary  at  that  time  was  £50  and  firewo'nl  aniuiai- 
ly.  The  onlv  contemporary  record  of  the  size  of  the  church  tliat  tlie  writer  has 
been  able  to  find  was  made  hy  I 'resident  Ezra  Stiles  of  ^'ale  I  olUgc.  Mr.  Stiles 
was  accustonied  to  preach  in  .\leriden  (juite  often  during  the  ministry  of  his  broth- 
er-in-law, Kev.  John  ?Inbbard.  In  his  diary,  under  date  of  Sej)ttmlHT  25.  1772. 
he  says:  "'Meriden  meetiuLr  liouse  64  x  44."  This  old  churcli  was  eoiisiderably 
east  of  the  lr*eation  of  the  present  one.  The  east  end  was  about  wlierc  the  car 
tracks  are  located  on  liroad  street.  lUck  ot  it  ran  the  highway,  four  rods  wide, 
continuing  on  to  Liberty  street.

After  Broad  street  was  opened  in  1799  the  church  stood  in  a  triangle 
boandcd  by  highw  ays,  and  so  it  continued  until  1830  when  the  present  church  was 
built  and  die  old  highway  in  the  rear  was  closed.  East  and  north  of  the  church 
stood  at  least  thirteen  Sabbath-day  houses,  and  perhaps  more.  The  first  entry  on 
the  land  records  referring  to  these  houses  was  made  on  July  23,  1757,  under  which 
date  we  find  Theophilus  Hall  deeding  to  "Deacon  Benjamin  Whiting,  Ensign 
Amos  Camp  and  Bezaleel  Ives  a  spot  of  land  suflicient  for  ^  Sabbath-day  houses 
with  stables  adjoining  of  the  dimensions  of  those  how  standing  on  said  spot  lying 
nigh  and  a  little  east  of  the  meeting-house  bounded  north  by  the  highway  leading 
to  Capt.  Lymans  and  east  south  and  west  by  my  own  land.*'  These  men  lived  in 
the  extreme  southeast  district — too  far  away  to  admit  of  their  going  to  their  homes 
daring  the  "nooning"  on  Sundays. 

Others  who  owned  houses  of  this  sort  were  Jonathan  Foster,  Ephraim  Hough, 
who  owned  the  Hough  Mills  on  Quinnipiac  river,  near  Cheshire  street,  Joseph 
Edwards,  who  owned  a  farm  south  of  Meriden  farm,  Reuben  Rice,  Phineas  Hough, 
owner  of  what  is  now  Baldwin's  pond  and  dam,  John  Yale,  who  owned  a  portion 
of  the  old  Meriden  farm,  Samuel  and  Dan  Johnson,  who  lived  respectively  in  Milk- 
ing Yard  and  on  Johnson  hill  in  the  west,  Ezdciel  Rice,  the  son  of  Deacon  Samuel 
Rke,  and  the  Cowles  family,  living  on  Ox  Hill  in  Rice's  farms.  Two  of  these 
houses  were  twenty  feet  square  and  stood  north  of  the  church,  and  may  have  been 
used  by  two  or  three  families  each.  The  others  stood  on  a  tract  of  land  east  of 
the  present  location  of  Eli  C.  Birdsey's  dwelling.  The  church  must  have  presented 
a  singular  spectacle  with  all  these  small  buildings  in  the  vicinity.  The  only  other 
buildings  in  the  tuighborhood  were  what  was  afterwards  the  Central  Tavern 
and  the  bam  near  tlie  site  of  the  present  Broad  street  Baptist  church.  Immediate- 
ly in  front  of  the  church  to  the  east  was  a  parade  ground  where  the  local  train 
hands  performed  their  evolutions^  and  we  find  one  contemporary  accoimt  of  their 
impression  on  him  in  the  diarj'  of  Ezra  Stiles  who  says  under  date  of  Septem- 
ber 28.  1772 :  "Training  day  at  Meriden :  Company  93  Rank  &  file — 119  on  the  T  .ist. 
N'ot  above  3  or  4  above  aet.  40."  At  this  time  John  Couch  was  captain,  Bezaleel 
Ives,  lieutenant,  and  John  Hough,  ensign. 

From  1755  the  records  of  the  society  are  fairly  complete.  The  first  meeting 
recorded  was  held  December  4,  1755.  Aaron  Lyman  was  moderator  and  Jon- 
athan CoUins,  Robert  Collins,  Abel  Yale  and  Samuel  Austin  were  appointed  so- 
ciety's committee.  Rev.  Mr.  Hall's  family  was  assigned  a  pew  for  life, 
and  then,  as  the  question  of  pastor's  salary  was  brought  up.  they  adjourned  and 
cam€  together  again  on  the  nth  and  voted  to  give  him  £50  and  wood.  This 
salary  question  was  frequently  bothering  the  parish  and  in  1757.  after  adjourning 
twr>  or  three  times,  it  was  finally  agreed  that  the  pastor's  salary  should  be  £54 
and  firewood.    It  took  a  committee  of  five  to  settle  this  momentous  question,

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


and  even  the  £54  did  not  decide  the  matter  for  it  took  another  arbitrating  commit- 
tee to  agree  whether  to  pay  the  sum  in  money  or  in  provisions,  ytz.  wheat,  rye  and 
Indian  corn.^  In  1760  Mr.  HalKs  salary  was  made  £70  and  firewood,  and  that 
amount  was  thereafter  annually  paid  him  until  his  death  in  1767.  It  is  certain 
that  it  was  not  the  size  of  his  salary  that  made  Mr.  Hall  a  wealthy  man.  The  par- 
ish in  their  annual  meetings  performed  the  functions  of  a  town  meeting,  for  they 
appointed  school  coinniittees  and  laid  a  tax  to  support  the  schools  and  mapped  out 
the  school  districts.^  They  appointed  a  grave  digger  and  a  sexton.  The  names 
of  Captain  Robinson,  Esquire  Lynian.  Samuel  and  Ezekiel  Rice  were  al\va>  s  con- 
spicuous in  these  meetings,  and  the  other  names  that  we  have  met  in  describing 
the  farms,  occur  with  differing  dcj^rccs  nf  frefjuency.  Now  and  then,  a  new  one 
appears,  as,  for  instance,  that  of  John  Couch  who  was  elected  one  of  the  society's 
committee  in  1760.  lie  was  afterwards  a  captain  in  the  Revolutionary  war.  In 
1764  the  southwest  district,  that  is  Milking  Yard  or  Rice  s  Farms,  was  given  lib- 
ert\  to  keep  a  school. 

In  1765  a  committee  was  appointed  to  buy  the  land  east  of  the  Meeting  House 
as  far  as  Aaron  Lyman's  Fsf[^  1  his  was  probably  for  a  parade  ground.  At  a 
triecting  held  February  23,  1767,  we  find  the  first  record  of  the  custom  of  dignify- 
ing and  seatin*^  the  meeting  house.  The  first  notice  that  the  mcti  and  women 
were  separated  in  the  church  services  aj^pears  as  follows:  *'I\1)  7  1774  vcned  the 
society  comn.ittee  advise  with  those  that  sit  m  llie  fore  seat  and  if  they  think  best 
take  away  the  bench  from  the  womcns  side." 

l-'rom  vnriotis  references  in  the  reeords  there  seem  to  have  been  doors  on  tlw 
north,  cast  ami  ^<*nth  sides  of  the  cliureh.  Tliat  on  the  north  side  was,  about  1772. 
closed  and  1;< tiled  and  appears  to  have  hcen  vised  no  more. 

There  were,  pithaps.  no  formal  pews  until  I7^»7.  In  that  \ear  it  was  vf»ted 
"to  take  uf)  seats  in  square  hody^  except  the  fore  seat  and  make  pews"  and  it 
also  was  vi'ti'd  "  tii  ehoosc  a  eoinmittee  to  ^ee  that  the  work  was  done  anrl  tt^  dii:- 
nify  and  se  t  the  nieetini;  hoii.se."  In  fact,  wlienever  repairs  to  the  pcw»  were 
made  the  members  were  reseated  according  to  their  position  in  hte.  Xew  pews 
were  apparently  "the  first  diLrnity."  This  question  of  dignity  was  always  an  im- 
portant one.    For  instance,  on  Jan.  29,  1801,  /\aron  Johnson  promised  to  pay 

1  At  a  meeting  held  in  Doc,  1T.'>8,  the  scarcity  of  money  l8  mentioned  on  accoUDt  ot  th0  war  and  It 
was  Toted  to  pajr  Mr.  Hall's  salary  to  provlsloos  until  after  tbe  war  Is  over.

EARLY  HISTORY. 


the  yearly  lax  for  the  support  of  the  Presbyterian  religion  providing  he  and  his 
tiunily  are  ^ven  seats  according  to  his  standing  in  life.  The  "dignity'*  commit- 
tee, after  duly  considering  the  matter,  voted  to  accept  the  proi)osal  of  Aaron  and 
give  bim  a  seat  according  to  his  list  and  age. 

In  1767,  on  March  25.  the  Rev.  Theophilus  Hall  died.  His  loss  was  a  great 
blow  to  the  little  parish  for  he  had  been  the  strong  man  at  the  helm  who  always 
steered  a  wise  course.  While  there  may  have  been  frictions  during  his  pastorate 
they  were  alt  confined  to  the  question  of  salary.  His  personality  was  so  strong 
that  he  held  his  flock  with  a  vigorous  hand.  That  there  were  discordant  elc' 
nients^  is  proved  by  events  in  the  pastorate  of  his  successor,  but  they  manifested 
themselves  ver>'  feebly  during  the  life  of  Mr.  Hall.  The  parish,  probably  as  a 
token  of  respect,  paid  the  funeral  expenses  of  the  pastor,  and  then  took  up  the 
question  of  choosing  his  successor.  On  Nov.  7,  1767,  the  majority  of  the  parish 
made  choice  of  the  Rev.  John  Hubbard,  of  New  Haven,  but  he  did  not  suit  the 
discordant  element  which  has  been  mentioned  and  there  were  numerous  confer- 
ences which  were  unable  to  arrange  a  compromise.  Mr.  Hubbard  was  not  or- 
dained until  June  22,  1769,  and  the  minor  party  would  take  no  part  in  the  pro- 
ceedii^s  but  withdrew  and  formed  a  separate  society  and  maintained  another  place 
of  public  worship  for  several  years.* 

The  Rev.  John  Hubbard  was  bom  in  New  Haven  Jan.  24,  1726-27,  and  grad- 
uated from  Yale  in  the  class  of  1744.  He  studied  divinity  and  was  licensed  to 
preach  in  1 746,  but  instead  of  following  his  profession  he  went  into  business  in 
New  Haven  with  Chauncey  Whittlesey.  He  preached  occasionally  but  had  no 
parish  until  he  was  invited  to  Meriden.  There  was  a  suspicion  that  his  beliefs 
vftn  somewhat  unorthodox,  which  accounts  for  the  troubles  in  Meriden.  He 
married  Jan.  25,  1749-50,  Rebecca  Dickerman  of  New  Haven.  President  Ezra 
Stiles,  of  Yale  College,  married  Mr.  Hubbard's  sister  and  to  this  fact  was  due  Mr. 
Stiles*  frequent  visits  to  Meriden.  There  are  frequent  references  in  his  Literary

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Diary  to  these  visits  and  as  he  was  one  of  the  most  distinguished  men  in  New 
England,  the  people  of  Meriden  must  have  congratulated  themselves  that  they 
had  the  c^portunity  to  hear  this  famous  man  so  often.^  Mr.  Hubbard  bought  a 
farm  of  some  ten  or  twelve  acres  and  built  a  house  in  176^)  which  occupied  a  site 
somewhere  near  that  of  the  present  residence  of  Kdwnrfl  Miller,  Xo.  360  Piroad 
street.  The  house  is  still  in  existence  ;  it  was  bought  in  1795  by  I'.enjaiiiiii  C  ur- 
tis and  by  him  given  to  his  son,  Ivah  C  urtis,  who  lived  in  it  until  1800  when  he 
sold  it  to  Cornelius  Hull  ;  he  in  turn  in  two  or  three  years  sold  it  to  Seth  D.  Plumb, 
who  maintained  a  tavern  there  for  many  years.  Mr.  Miller,  when  he  built  his 
present  residence  in  1866,  moved  the  old  house  to  No.  229  Broad  street,  and  there 
it  still  stands. 

After  M'.  llul)har<l  was  ordained  it  was  voted  to  give  him  a  salary  «  f  £80 
law  ful  money  per  year,  une-half  to  be  paid  in  w  heat,  rye  and  Indian  corn,  the  other 
half  in  cash  provided  he  .supplies  the  pulpit  in  case  of  his  own  intirniities.^  Mr. 
Hubbard  was  a  forceful  preacher  and  a  gentleman  of  tact  ;  these  (|ualities  com- 
bined with  an  estimable  character  and  wiiming  manners  gradually  drew  back  tu 
the  society  those  who  had  seceded,  and  the  parish  was  prosperous  and  liarnion- 
ious  during  the  latter  part  of  his  ministry.  In  the  winter  of  1783-4  he  was  thrown 
from  his  sleigh  and  seriousl\  disabled,  which  made  it  necessary  to  engage  a  col- 
league to  assist  hini.  At  a  meeting  of  the  parish  held  September  6,  1784,  a  com- 
mittee was  ap|)ointed  to  supply  preaching  and  September  22,  1785,  the  Rev.  John 
Willard  was  pennanently  engaged,  but  did  not  become  pastor  until  June.  1786. 
Rev.  Mr.  Hubbard  died  November  18th,  the  same  year,  survived  by  his  widow^  and 
two  sons. 

About  this  time  there  begin  to  appear  on  the  parish  records  notices  of  with- 
drawals  by  various  persons  to  unite  with  the  Baptist  and  Episcopal  societies  which

E.\RLY^  HISTORV. 


Mr.  Wiliard's  theological  tendencies  were  not  pleasing  to  many  of  his  par- 
ishioners and  the  church  grew  feeble  in  numbers  and  suffered  a  severe  decline. 
At  this  time  tnost  of  those  who  were  alive  when  the  parish  was  organized  were 
dead  and  a  new  generation  was  in  control.  One  of  the  last  to  go  was  our  old 
friend,  Esq.  Aaron  Lyman.  He  died  in  1801.  Others  who  died  about  the  same 
time  were  Widow  Ruth  Merriam,  aged  eighty-nine,  Captain  Bezaleel  Ives,  aged 
seventy'^two.  In  the  issue  of  August  24,  1796,  of  the  Conn.  Journal,  published 
in  New  Haven,  was  the  following  item : 

"On  the  I2th  of  August  the  fnllowinj^  persons  dined  at  the  house  ul  Doct 
Hou^h  in  Meriden  viz.  Aaron  Lyman  I'scj  8y  years  old:  hi;;  wife  80.  Capt  John 
\\\-h\)  8<-j  and  his  wife  84  and  have  Ix^mi  married  64  veurs.  I'liinclias  Hoiii^h  83 
aii'l  his  wife  8j.  Noah  Vale  82  and  his  wife  81  have  been  married  (w  )ears.  Fhe 
widow  Sarah  Vale  age  84. 

After  spending  the  afternoon  in  agreeable  C(jnver>ation  on  the  thing>  (»f  this 
world  and  the  wurld  to  come,  they  went  to  their  respective  homes  expecting  not 
to  meet  again  till  they  meet  in  Heaven." 

Sarah  Yale  was  probably  the  widow  of  Abel.  They  lived  in  the  old  house 
still  standing  on  Kast  Main  street  a  few  hundred  feet  west  of  Paddock  avenue. 
Noah  Yale  died  in  1803  and  John  Webb  and  his  wife^  in  1799.  Mr.  Willard  built 
a  house,  probably  about  1787,  at  which  time  he  bought  a  lot.  This  house  is  still 
standing,  a  square  ])uil(ling  witii  a  roof  fashioned  somcw^hat  like  those  we  term 
Mansard.  It  is  the  second  house  on  the  southeast  corner  of  Rrnad  and  lJl)erty 
streets,  N'o.  583.  It  formerly  stood  i)erhai)s  one  hundred  feet  farther  north.  In 
the  year  1791  it  was  voted  to  divide  the  parish  into  seven  school  districts,  pre- 
sumably for  the  purpose  of  having  seven  separate  school  houses.  There  seem  to 
have  lieen  two  school  houses  in  the  center  of  the  parish — one  located  east  of  the 
meeting  house  beyond  the  Sabbath  day  houses,  and  the  other  a  few  hundred  feet 
s-aitii  near  the  burying  ground.  Both  these  school  houses  are  distinctly  men- 
tis mt-d  in  deeds  of  this  period.  The  names  of  tin-  school  districts  were  southeast, 
•  '(''t,  northeast  northwest,  west,  southwest  and  the  center.  In  1804  a  census  of 
I  lie  inhabitants  belonging  to  the  society  is  given  on  the  records  and  their  resi- 
(K  iices  are  k  cated  in  the  diflFercnt  school  districts.  The  list  follows  at  the  end  of 
.the  historical  portion  of  this  book. 

The  s'lnriety  appears  never  to  have  been  satisfied  with  Mr.  Willard.  The  records 
for  a  number  of  years  contain  constant  references  to  disputes  and  disagreements 
relative  to  his  salary.  His  theological  tendencies  were  not  pleasing  to  the  people 
and  the  numbers  of  those  withdrawing  to  other  religious  bodies  were  ra])i<lly  in- 
creasing. He  finally  left  here  in  1802  and  removed  to  Vermont,  but  died  in  Mer- 
iden and  is  buried  in  Broad  street  cemetery.

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


In  February,  1803,  the  Rev.  Erastus  Ripley  was  engaged  as  pastor,  and  while 
there  was  no  question  as  to  his  orthodoxy,  his  personality  was  not  pleasing.  He 
was  apparently  a  man  <if  great  inrcrity  but  was  totally  lacking  in  tact  and  had 
no  hold  on  his  people.  He  probably  was  an  ultra  conservative  person,  who  did  his 
best  to  repair  the  damapfe  caused  by  his  predecessor's  long  stay  in  Meriden,  but 
without  success,  for  the  desertions  to  other  churches  continued  even  more  rapidly, 
until  the  society  became  di>mayed  and  began  to  wonder  if  the  chorch  wDuld  be- 
come extinct.  While  here  he  built  and  lived  in  the  house  just  north  of  Franklin 
T.  Ives,  \o.  629  Broad  street. 

To  the  £^rcnt  relief  of  the  society,  he  left  here  in  1822,  and  the  same 
year  Rev.  Charles  J.  Hinsdale  was  engaged  and  was  ordained  on  January 
15,  1823.  Mr.  Hinsdale  was  a  man  of  another  stamp.  He  had  life  and 
energy  and  immediately  began  a  scries  of  revivals  which  brought  numbers 
into  the  society.  He  was  a  good  preacher  and  had  tact  and  sociability  to  a  large 
degree  and  xvas  very  successful  in  his  work  in  Mcridcn.  During  his  ministry  the 
present  Center  Congregational  church  wns  built.  During  many  years  there  were 
references  to  repairs  made  to  the  old  church.  Much  money  had  heen  spent  m  these 
attempts  to  save  the  building,  but  in  1829  the  situation  had  become  so  serious 
that  it  \va>  deemed  wise  to  appoint  a  committee  tt)  look  into  the  matter  thi^f  )nL:l;l\ 
and  report  to  the  soeiety.  Although  the  church  had  been  slan(hng  only  sev- 
enty-seven years,  the  conunittec.  couhisting  of  Silas  Rice,  Fenner  Ihish,  Nathaniel 
C.  Sanford.  Asahel  Rice  and  Henjamin  Hart,  reported  on  Septeniber  28.  i82»).  that 
the  front  gr- nnd  sill  hn(\  heen  spliced  three  times,  many  other  beams  were  rot- 
ten, that  the  1. earns  in  the  ^teeplc^  were  in  the  same  condition,  antl  that  the  whole 
bnihhng  was  in  a  state  of  general  dilapidation,  and  was  not  worth  repairing.  So 
on  October  <s,  1829.  a  subscrif)tion  paper  was  drawn  up  and  a  committee  appoiniol 
to  circulate  it.  and  S(xm  the  erection  of  the  new  church  was  begun,  and  wonderful 
to  relate!  it  was  voted  to  place  in  it  two  chimneys.  The  church  was  ap])aren!lv 
finished  in  1831  for  in  that  year  Mr.  Hinsdale  was  instructed  to  "make  suitable  ar 
rangenieius  lor  the  dedication  of  the  new  meeting  house."  and  at  the  wmie  time 
he  was  given  pennission  to  use  the  basement  for  a  private  school.  Mr.  1  Vrkins 
states  that  the  cost  of  the  church  wtis  $7,000. 

It  was  almost  the  first  building  erected  in  Meriden  of  any  architectural  pre- 
tensions. 

Its  front  is  in  the  form  of  an  aneiLiit  (jreek  temple:  the  pediment  being  sup- 
ported by  six  Doric  columns  of  excellent  proportions.  The  sjiire  reminds  one  of 
the  work  of  .Sir  Christopher  Wren  and  doubtless  the  motive  was  borrowed  from 
him,  although  it  is  not  a  copy.  It  resembles  very  much  the  spire  of  the  old  north 
church  on  the  green  at  New  Haven.   There  is  reason  to  believe  that  the  late  Sid-

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDBN, 


Dating  from  the  organization  of  the  town  government  in  1806  the  old  meeting 
house  had  heen  used  for  town  meetings,  and  there  had  finally  grown  up  the  senti- 
ment  that  it  was  not  a  proper  thing  to  do,  for  in  1823  it  was  voted  that  a  **com- 
mittee  be  appointed  to  arrange  a  compromise  with  the  selectmen,  so  that  one-third 
of  the  town  meetings  only  would  be  held  in  their  church,  provided  the  other  socie- 
ties (the  Episcopal  and  Baptist)  would  open  their  doors  for  this  purpose  the  rest 
of  the  time."  "If  such  an  arrangement  could  not  be  made  the  selectmen  were 
prohibited  from  holding  further  meetings  in  the  society's  house."  This  vote  cre- 
ated considerable  friction,  for  the  selectmen  made  the  claim  that  the  society  did  not 
exclusively  own  the  church  antl  that  it  was  really  a  part  of  the  town  property. 
Then  the  society  voted  to  close  the  doors  against  the  town.  This  resulted  in  an 
examination  of  titles,  with  what  results  we  do  not  know,  for  the  records  are  si- 
lent. When  the  new  church  was  finished  an  arrangement  was  made  whereby 
the  tow  n  was  allowed  to  use  the  basement  for  public  meetings.  In  1831  a  stove 
was  bought  to  warm  the  church  and  at  the  same  time  it  was  voted  to  insure  the 
building,  and  the  next  year  a  second  stove  was  bought.  Henceforth,  the  members 
could  worship  in  midwinter  without  danger  of  freezing. 

In  March,  1836,  Rex'.  Arthur  Grang^cr  became  the  pastor.  lie  was  here  onlv 
two  years.  His  stay  was  cast  in  stormy  times.  It  was  in  the  midst  o£  tlio  Alx>li- 
tion  aj^itation  wlu-ti  stronc;^  feclinf^s  were  in  play  and  an  attempt  to  give  a  lecture 
on  the  subject  in  the  church  by  a  Mr.  Ludlow  rcsuhcd  in  a  small  sized  riot.  The 
Rev.  Charles  Rich  officiated  during  the  vcars  1X40  i.  On  May  19,  1841.  Kov. 
Georpfe  \V.  Perkins  was  cn^aj^cd  as  pastor.  It  is  nnpossible  to  speak  f)t  Mr. 
Perkins  except  in  words  of  praise.  A  genial,  cultured,  attractive  man.  he  at  once 
won  all  hearts.  He  was  a  strong,  forceful  preacher,  a  man  of  convictions  who 
was  not  afraid  to  express  them,  a  leader  of  public  opinion,  and  a  great  force  in  tiic 
community.  His  little  history  of  Meriden  is  admiral)le  in  tone  and  accurate  in 
its  statements  and  he  seems  to  have  l)cen  the  first  individual  in  Meriden  to  excite 
an  interest  in  the  past.  His  jiortrait  in  Dr.  Davis'  History  shows  a  face  that 
must  have  been  an  inspiration  to  all  who  came  in  contact  with  him.  The  numbers 
of  the  society  were  lari::^ely  increased  during  his  stay,  and  in  fact,  Mr.  Perkins'  pas- 
torate may  be  callofl  the  turnint,'^  point  in  the  history  of  the  Congregational  society. 

Mr,  Perkins  was  born  in  Hartford  February  12,  1804.  He  graduated  from 
Yale  in  the  class  of  1824  and  then  taught  school  in  Cambridge,  Mass.^  During 
the  incumbency  of  Mr.  Perkins  the  society  was  divided ;  the  larger  body  calling 
themselves  the  First  Congregational  society,  removing  to  what  was  then  West 
Meriden.  Mr.  Perkins  in  his  history  says,  "But  as  the  population  increased  rap- 
idly there  soon  was  need  of  another  house  of  worship.  As  this  increase  was 
mainly  in  the  western  part  of  the  town,  it  wras  decided  to  erect  a  new  house  at

ray's  pastorate  in  Mcriden  will  long  be  remembered.  He  was  a  brilliant  and 
forceful  preacher  and  achieved  a  national  reputation.  His  church  was  crowded 
each  Sunday  by  a  congregation  that  fairly  devoured  his  burning  words.  His  ser- 
mons were  models  of  style  and  eloc|uence.  Such  a  man  could  not  be  expected  to 
stay  in  Meriden  and  he  was  called  hence  to  the  Park  Street  church  in  Boston  the

EARLY  HISTORY.  I59 


CHAPTER  XII. 

Some  fifty  rods  east  of  the  first  meeting  house  was  located  the  first  burying 
ground  and,  like  the  house  itself,  it  stood  in  the  highway  or  common.  A  few 
of  the  mouldering  grave  stones,  memorials  of  these  early  settlers,  are  still  in 
existence.  The  view  from  the  sacred  place  is  beautiful.  To  the  east  lies  Little 
Success  Hill,  and  over  its  summit  loom  the  somber  crags  of  the  Besett  range, 
while  in  the  foreground  to  the  south  stretch  the  beautiful  rolling  meadows,  pas- 
ture and  woodland  of  the  old  Yale  farm ;  in  the  distance  are  the  spires  of  Wal- 
lingford,  while  Mt.  Carmel  or  the  Sleeping  Giant  like  a  great  bulwark  forms  the 
horizon  in  the  southwest,  and  at  its  left  we  catch  glimpses  of  the  Sound  on  a  clear 
day. 

I  The  date  of  the  first  interments  in  the  old  burying  ground  wc  do  not  know,  but 
*  it  was  doubtless  as  early  as  1727.   However,  from  the  date  of  the  first  burial  noted 

I by  Parson  Hall  in  his  records,  tmtil  1771  when  this  graveyard  was  al)andoned 
as  a  place  of  sepulture,  there  were  recorded  357  bi'-^ials  in  the  parish.    But  when 
the  shaft  in  the  middle  of  the  lot  was  erected  by  the  town  in  1857,  it  was  possi- 
.  blc  to  save  from  oblivion  the  names  of  only  twciit\  -nine  persons,  who  were  there 

Ieotombed.  To-day  there  are  not  more  than  twenty  stones  that  are  in  a  fair 
stntc  of  preservation.  The  rest  have  practically  utterly  disappeared.  The  isola- 
tion of  the  place  has  made  possible  this  vandalism.  It  is  sad  to  contemplate,  and 
yet  perhaps  it  could  not  have  been  prevented  without  maintaining  a  constant  guard. 
It  i>  l^ard  to  realize  that  this  place  was  once  the  center  of  the  parish.  Just  below 
P  to  the  east  stood  the  home  of  Deacon  Moses  Mitchell,  at  the  foot  of  Little  Success 
liill,  and  just  thif;  sifle  of  tlie  liousc  were  his  tan  vats  and  yard,  for  he  was  the 
tanner  of  the  parish  one  hundred  and  thirtv  vear.>^  rnj"'*.  Mr.  Julius  Yale  can  re- 
^  meinlKr.  as  a  boy,  that  the  remains  of  the  vats  half  buried  in  the  earth  were  still 
in  existence. 

If  one  stands  at  a  point  in  the  hipfhwny  perhaj^s  a  lumdrcd  feet  east  of  the 
burying  ground  the  nld  road  can  be  seen  running  to  the  south  and  meeting  Miller 
avenue  at  its  juncticm  with  Swayne  avenue.  Tlie  latter  mad  is  quite  modern. 
Standing  at  this  same  spot  east  of  the  huryinj^  ground,  one  can  trace  the  old 
road  which  woimd  around  the  hill,  to  the  northeast.  It  came  ntit  on  the  Middle- 
town  turnpike  near  the  old  Abel  Yale  place,  and  terminated  on  nravcl  street, 
perhaps  half  a  mile  north  of  the  turnpike.  By  this  route  those  in  the  northeast 
and  east  came  to  the  old  meeting  house,  or  to  bury  their  dead  in  the  old  cemetery.

In  1904  Kiitli  Hart  Chapter,  D.  A.  R.,  erected  an  iron  fence  around  the  old  cem- 
etery and  in  the  following  spring  a  hedge  of  Japanese  barberries  was  set  out  just 
inside.  In  digging  the  trench  the  laborer  noticed  that  it  iinniediately  filled  with 
water ;  and  to  such  an  extent  that  he  called  attention  to  it  for  fear  it  might  hurt 
the  shrubs.  The  time  was  the  latter  part  of  April.  This  situation  of  affairs  bears 
testimony  to  the  accuracy  of  the  schoolboy  s  infonnation  in  the  composition^ 
already  mentioned.  In  it  he  states  "The  first  Burying  Ground  was  so  wet  that 
the}  had  to  have  another." 

The  old  cemetery  was  abandoned  in  1771.  .\mong  the  old  papers  in  the 
Oliver  Rice  homestead  is  one  of  which  the  following  is  a  copy :

'o  faithfully  and  fully  portray  life  in  Meridcn  as  it  was  during  the  eighteenth 
5rv  i<;  of  coiTrsc  impossible ;  but  many  facts  have  been  gleaned  from  the  records 
at  least  shed  light  on  the  conditions  then  existing,  aiul  which  will  make  it  p<  is- 
for  one  with  a  little  imagination  to  catch  glimpses  of  tl;e  daily  life  of  this 
forg^otten  generation  and  to  accpiire  a  slight  ac(|uaintance  with  some  of  the 
icters  that  were  once  the  central  tigures  in  this  tiny  coinnumity  of  more  than 
itiiry  ajro. 

"liis  parish  was  a  very  isolated  farming  settlement — a  rural  suburb  of  \\  al- 
ord — one  of  the  larger  towns  of  the  colony.  Every  family  lived  on  the  prod- 
its  farm,  or  by  the  proceeds  t»f  some  rsefnl  trade  which  was  secondary  to 
vork  of  tilling  tiie  soil.  There  was  no  great  difference  between  the  various 
lies  ill  the  value  of  their  possessions.  There  was  not  nnich  wealth  in  the  hands 
IV  one  man.  neither  was  any  person  ver\  poor,  except  he  were  some  poor  un- 
iTiate  to  whfim  nature  had  denied  an  ordinary  mental  e(|uii)ment. 
lanv  of  the  ImiT-cs  hnve  been  portrayed,  and  more  will  be  .*;hown  later.  Life 
crn  was  of  a  Spartan-like  simplicity.  Then.'  was  little  news  from  the  01  t^^ide 
(1 :  there  were  no  daily  newsj)apers  and  \vr\  little  to  read  of  anv  dcscri] aion. 
•oiirsc  the  I'.ib'c  was  read  and  reread,  faithfiillv  and  devoutly  in  a  manner 
hich  we  can  hart  11  \  form  a  conception. 

"he  early  IHiritan  rca<l  the  ['.ibic  to  such  an  extent  that  his  mind  was  fairly

Even  when  the  library  was  established  in  Mcriden  in  1796.  the  \\>i  <  »t  books  mJ

All  the  dwellings  in  Meriden  were  farm  houses;  tliere  was  no  village  >iro 
where  could  be  found  the  homes  of  those  who  had  accumulated  sufficient  wcab 
to  indulge  in  a  dignified  architectural  rei)resentation  of  their  position  and  tanj 
Meriden  houses  were  plain  to  severity.  There  was  little  or  no  attempt  at 
mentation  on  the  exterior.  Inside  there  was  frequently  to  be  found  some 
paneling  and  wainscoting,  or  a  handsome  mantel,  or  a  quaint  and  ]deasing  o 
cupboard.  On  every  house  the  clapboards  were  nailed  directly  to  the  stud 
and  in  the  earliest  there  was  no  plaster  on  the  inside  of  the  outside  walls,  boar^ 
being  used  in  its  place. 

Such  houses  were  comfortable  enough  in  summer;  but  think  what  the  cood 
tion  must  have  been  in  winter!  Of  course,  the  cold  of  the  rooms  was  tempen 
by  the  huge  fires  maintained  on  the  ample  hearths.  But  as  such  fires  only  raj 
iate  heat  as  they  do  light,  one  part  of  the  body  would  be  roasted,  while  over  i

••Yoti  "iTiinTH  nre  :  and  aucb  a  share

Other,  the  drafts  genetated  by  the  huge  fires  would  pla\  an  accompaniment  t.  j  ack 
Frost  outside.  If  this  was  the  lot  of  one  in  the  sitting  room  or  kitchen,  it  is  easy 
ID  imagine  the  situation  in  a  bed  room  and  to  understand  the  use  for  warming  pans 
and  feather  beds.  They  were  absolute  necessities  if  one  did  not  wish  to  freeze 
to  death. 

Of  course,  no  water  could  be  kept  in  a  chamber  in  such  a  frigid  temperature, 
and  as  there  were  no  bathrooms  or  places  of  ablution  except  in  the  kitchen,  the 
habits  of  personal  cleanliness  to  which  all  are  accustomed  to-day  must  have  been 
almost  wholly  lacking.  One  will  look  in  vain  in  the  ancient  inventories  for  such 
items  as  washbowls  and  pitchers.  There  was  now  and  then  such  an  article  as 
a  pewter  or  an  earthen  bowl,  but  water  was  not  considered  the  necessit}-  it  is  deeriied 
UHlay.  Even  at  a  much  later  date  when  our  forbears  had  begun  to  use  the  earthen 
ware  bowl  and  pitcher  the  diminutive  size  is  a  confession,  that  even  in  warm 
weather  at  that  date,  the  maxim  of  Lord  Bacon  that  "Geanliness  of  body  was 
ever  deemed  to  proceed  from  a  due  reverence  to  God"  was  more  honored  in  the 
breach  than  in  the  observance. 

There  was  certainly  an  abundance  of  food  of  various  kinds,  l)ut  fresh  meat 
coald  only  be  had  when  a  "butchering"  took  place,  and  every  farmer  was  accus- 
tomedin  the  fall  to  salt  down  a  hog  or  a  side  of  beef  for  use  during  the  long  winter 
•nontlis.  Poultry  there  was  in  plenty,  and  cgg>.  milk,  butter  and  cheese,  and  veg- 
etables of  various  kinds.  But  the  cooking  can  hardly  have  been  of  a  nature  to 
tempt  the  modem  appetite. 

Game  must  have  been  in  abundance  at  first,  but  even  as  long  ago  as  1760  there 
Hfas  a  law  in  force  on  the  colonial  statute  book  regulating  the  killing  of  deer,  and 
forbidding  it  each  year  between  the  first  day  of  January  and  the  first  day  of  August, 
tinder  a  penalty  of  four  pounds  for  every  offense.  In  several  cases  the  writer  has 
noticed  in  the  ancient  inventories  tlie  mention  of  wild  pigeon  nets,  showing  that 
wr  ancestors  were  prepared  to  take  advantage  of  the  great  flights  of  pigeons  that 
annually  took  place,  and  to  have  a  great  feast  of  these  toothsome  birds,  besides 
i«ing  the  feathers  for  beds  and  pillows.^ 

Troublesome  game  was  more  abundant  than  deer.  In  the  issue  of  the  Xcw 
London  Gazette  Oct.  10,  1766,  appears  a  letter  from  Hartford  saying,  "There  are 
die  greatest  number  of  bears  come  down  among  the  towns  that  ever  was  known  ; 
die)-  destroy  great  quantities  of  Indian  corn  and  make  great  havoc  among  liie 
sheep  and  swine.  Last  Tuesday  morning  a  large  He  IJcar  was  discovered  in  an 
inctosute  opposite  the  Treasurers  and  being  pursued  he  took  to  the  Main  street."

212  A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Again,  on  Feb.  2,  1767,  a  Hartford  letter  says  in  same  newspaper.  **(  >ne  nig 
last  week  a  panther  killed  nine  sheep  in  a  yard  at  Windsor."    W  hen  such  thi 
could  happen  in  towns  as  large  as  these  it  can  easil>  be  imagined  how  plcnt 
game  was  about  Meriden.    A  bounty  was  paid  for  all  troublesome  game 
stroyed;  notably  wolves.    On  one  occasion  Thomas  Yale  killed  a  she  \volf  w'  a!) 
was  about  to  litter.   The  town  voted  to  i)ay  the  bounty  for  the  old  wolf  but  balke^ 
at  the  "young  wolves  that  were  in  the  belly  of  the  wolf  he  killed. 

These  illustrations  of  the  primitive  conditions  then  exi.'^tin^^  uiight  be  multipliii 
by  accounts  of  the  household  work  of  the  women,  in  weaving  the  wool  into  gs 
ments,  and  the  flax  into  linen  for  sheets  and  undergarments ;  of  home-made  »^ 
and  candles :  and  of  the  various  domestic  makeshifts  for  what  is  now  to  be  f  ur< 
chased  read)  made  at  any  store.  iUit  enough  has  been  written  to  make  us  reaiiai 
the  truth  of  the  statement  made  by  Henry  Adaius  in  his  History  of  the  I'nita 
States,  saying  that  "neither  their  ImuHt  s.  their  clothing,  their  food  and  drink,  ihci 
agricultural  tools  and  methods,  their  stock,  nor  their  habits  were  so  greatly  at 
tered  or  improved  liy  time  that  the  c  t  ls  and  ceorls  of  Offn  and  Egbert  would  haw 
found  much  difficulty  in  accommodating  their  lives  to  that  of  their  descendants^ 
the  eighteenth  century."- 

All  worked  with  their  hands,  either  at  farming  or  in  following  some  w^chi 
trade  SI  ch  as  that  of  a  blacksmith,  a  carpenter,  a  shoemaker,  or  a  tanner.  Mt* 
of  the  clothing  was  homespun,  woven  at  home  by  the  women,  as  well  as  na4 
up  into  suits  and  gowns  by  them. 

It  was  common  to  apprentice  young  boys  to  a  neighbor  to  learn  a  trade,  an<i  ibi 
papers  and  documents  drawn  up  and  execiiied  on  such  occasions  were  of  .i  v  r>, 
formal  and  binding  nature.  Daniel  Hoitgli,  who  lived  at  the  comer  of  Cunts  a^' 
Ann  streets,  was  a  blacksmith  and  nail  maker.  I 

In  1746  his  uncle,  W  illiam  Hough,  the  diKtor,  whose  house  still  stands  in  W  al- 
nut Grove  cemetery,  placed  his  son,  William,  with  Daniel,  to  learn  the  trade.  T^c 
following  is  a  copy  of  the  document  that  was  executed  at  the  time: 


"This  Indenture  ma<lc  this  twenly-forrth  day  of  March  in  ilu-  ninctciiuh  >eal

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Evidently  the  notice  was  for  the  purpose  of  disclaiming  all  responsibility  for 
bills  the  boy  might  contract  rather  than  to  get  him  back.  Joseph  Twiss  lived  on 
Colony  street  in  the  old  Robert  Collins  place. 

Naturally  the  first  industry  to  locate  in  Meriden,  other  than  farming  and  some 
of  the  minor  crafts  such  as  shoemaking  and  blacksmithing,  was  milling.  The  first 
mill  of  which  we  have  a  record  was  one  owned  by  James  Hough.  On  May  14th , 
1730,  he  bought  of  the  Way  family  two  acres  in  the  **bend  of  the  Harbor  where  11 
was  most  convenient  to  build  a  saw  mill/'^ 

The  "bend"  was  the  name  given  to  that  part  of  Harbor  brook  where  it  changes 
from  a  northerly  course  and  bends  towards  the  southwest.  Very  shortly  a  grist 
mill  was  added  and  the  old  records  sometimes  mention  one  and  sometimes  the 
other. 

James  Hough  was  the  son  of  Samuel,  who  was  proprietor  of  a  mill  somewhere 
in  the  vicinity  of  Spruce  Glen  or  Gutter,  just  over  the  Wallingford  line.  Samuel 
in  his  will  dated  in  1714  mentions  the  mill  and  gives  it  to  his  grandson  Samuel 
who  afterwards  sold  it  to  his  father  James,  so  that  James  at  one  time  owned  two 
mills. 

When  Wall  street  was  laid  out  in  1739  it  terminated  at  Hough's  Mills,  accord- 
ing to  the  records,  joining  the  road  leading  to  Middletown.  These  saw  and  grist 
mills  continued  in  possession  of  James  and  his  son  Phineas,  during  the  greater 
part  of  the  eighteenth  century. 

The  first  outsider  to  obtain  an  interest  in  the  mills  was  Joseph  Shaylor,  who 
on  May  7,  1790,  bought  a  quarter  share  from  the  heirs  of  Phineas  Hough.  His 
venture  was  not  successful  for  a  little  later  he  was  forced  out  on  an  execution  for 
debt.  Then  Joel  Mix  and  Jonathan  Collins  became  part  owners.  On  Dec* 
1796,  James  Baldwin  obtained  a  quarter  interest  in  the  saw  mill,  and  the  ymr 
previous  Titus  Brockett  bought  all  rights  in  the  grist  mill,  so  that  for  a  term  4if 
years  it  was  known  as  Brockett*s  mill.  James  Baldwin  eventually  obtained  bodt 
mills  and  also  bought  the  James  Hough  homestead  now  owned  by  Gardner  Rey- 
nolds. The  mill,  as  every  one  knows,  is  still  Baldwin  property.  That  the  saw  and 
grist  mills  were  contiguous  is  a  natural  inference,  but  just  where  each  was  located 
it  is  impossible  to  tell  for  the  present  mill  is  modem  and  so  is  the  dam.  Some 
thirty-live  years  ago  when  a  new  dam  was  being  built  it  was  swept  away  by  a 
freshet ;  the  result  was  a  flood  that  inundated  that  section  then  known  as  West 
Meridcn.* 

There  was  another  Hough  mill  in  the  town,  still  known  by  that  name.  It  is 
located  in  the  extreme  western  part  on  the  Quinnipiac  river— almost  in  the  town 
of  Cheshire.   The  first  mention  of  this  property  that  the  writer  has  been  able  to

in  which  Levi  Hall  i;ivos  to  John  Ives.  Jr..  a  half  interest  in  a  grist  mill  on  Blac 
I*on(l  brook,  halt  a  mile  west  of  the  pond.  In  1785  the  two  owners  admitte 
Joshua  Ives  into  tlu-  partnership.  Apparently  the  location  of  this  mill  was  a  littl 
c.i>t  of  where  the  Charles  I'arker  Co.  spoon  factory  is  now  situated,  the  east  en 
of  a  small  pond  still  in  existence  markings  the  site.  In  1785  Silvanus  Nichols,  c 
M  iddletown.  boug:hr  this  property,  who  in  turn  sold  it  to  Joseph  Drigg^s.  of  th 
same  j)lace  in  1792.  In  1794  Constant  Miller  lx)ught  it  and  had  added  a  fullin 
plant  to  the  establishment  by  1796-  \  ery  shortly,  the  records  call  it  solely  th 
fulling  mill  and  in  the  early  part  of  the  next  century  it  has  grown  to  the  dij^nity  c 
a  clothier  s  shop,  and  is  the  property  of  Stephen  Miller,  who  sold  it  to  his  thre 
sons  in  1816:  in  1829  the  records  call  it  an  establishment  for  "carrying  on  th 
clothier's  and  dyer's  business  and  carding  wool."  On  Nov.  2,  1837,  Joseph  Millc 
sold  the  mill  to  Samuel  Cook,  who  conducted  the  business  for  a  number  of  year: 

Quite  a  distance  southeast  of  the  Miller  clothier's  shop,  in  fact,  near  the  dar 
or  outlet  of  Black  Pond  was  a  saw  mill  that  was  probably  run  by  lirenton  Hal! 
It  was  then  abandoned  and  probably  disappeared,  for  on  Xov.  9,  179^>,  Brentoi 
Hall  leased  to  Phineas  Hall  2d.  the  "saw  mill  place  where  the  saw  mill  formerl; 
stood,"  and  by  the  terms  of  the  lease  Phineas  was  obliged  to  erect  the  mill  aiii 
give  to  lirenton  half  the  net  proceeds.  It  was  apparently  run  for  a  number  o 
years  by  Phineas  Hall,  Many  years  later  Edwin  Birdsey  owned  a  saw  mill  a 
the  same  location,  where  he  later  manufacturetl  wooden  drawer  pulls,  woodet 
combs  and  bone  buttons.    The  shop  was  afterwards  destroyed  by  fire. 

In  the  year  1735  John  Merriam,  Sr.,  owned  a  saw  mill  that  was  run  by  waiei 
power  supplied  by  Sodom  brook.  The  first  mention  of  it  was  when  he  opened 
a  two  rod  highway,  starting  at  the  Country  road  just  north  of  his  house,  ani 
running  west  to  his  saw  mill.  As  previously  mentioned,  this  was  the  bcginniiuj 
of  West  Main  street.  The  stream  was  at  that  early  date  called  Beaver  Dun 
brook.  Sodom  was  at  that  time  a  name  for  a  tract  of  country  lying  west  of  tin 
State  School  for  Boys.  This  Merriam  saw  mill  in  all  |)robability  was  situate- 
where  Nathan  Fenn's  mill  was  located  many  years  after.  The  pond  was  draino  i 
off  when  the  Watcrbury  railroad  was  built,  and  the  railroad  station  stands  in  wliaJ 
was  formerly  the  bed  of  the  pond  and  is  a  short  distance  east  of  the  old  mill  site 
Merriani*s  saw  mill  is  frequently  mentioned  in  the  records  during  the  eighteeml 
century ,  and  for  a  number  of  years  after  the  nineteenth  century  had  opened. 

The  first  notice  found  of  Andrews'  mill  was  in  the  >ear  i7(>8  when  Ezekic 
Rice  sold  to  Ambrose  Hough  a  piece  of  land  oti  which  to  build  a  grist  mill  and  a» 
the  same  time  Moses  Andrews  leased  to  Hough  a  tract  of  land  to  flood  when  h\< 
dam  should  be  built.  The  following  \  ear  Hough  disposed  of  the  property  and  il 
was  soon  in  the  hands  of  Giles  Foster  and  then  included  a  kiln  dryitig  house,  show* 
ing  that  a  saw  mill  had  been  added,  and  later  the  records  say  a  gin  dty 
tillery  was  installed.     Two  years  later  Eli  Barnes,  who  was  then  living  n

the  house  now  known  as  the  Calvin  Coe  place,  bought  the  mill.  It  would 
be  tedious  to  follow  the  dilYercnr  transfers  until  it  finally  drifted  into  the  hantU  of 
the  Andrews  fannly  by  whom  it  was  run  as  a  ^rist  mill  many  years  during  the  last 
century.  The  olil  establishment  is  idle  now  and  it  has  f:rround  its  last  bag  of  grain 
for  the  dam  and  pond  have  disappeared,  and  tlic  old  building  stands  as  a  monu- 
ment of  departed  days  and  conditions.  For  tho>c'  who  fin  not  know  the  old  names 
and  places,  it  may  be  stated  that  the  mill  is  on  the  road  to  Hanover  or  South  Mer- 
idcn.  a  few  hundred  feet  cast  of  the  Oliver  Rice  place. 

The  rea.son  that  Ambrose  llonijh  (who  was  a  son  of  I'phraim  Hough,  owner 
of  Hough's  mill  near  Cheshire  street)  sold  the  .Andrews mill,  was  l)ecause  be  bad 
cast  his  eye  on  a  site  nearer  the  center  of  the  [)ari^lL  Cat  Swamp,  just  south  of  the 
Ornain  Fixture  factory  on  I'arker  aveiuie,  is  the  source  of  a  small  stream  that  runs 
nonh  and  crosses  I'road  near  Liberty  street  and  runs  down  near  the  reservoir  on 
Hobart  street,  and  tinrdly  makes  its  way  westward  under  (.'enter  street  and  the 
.Manning.  Bowman  &  Co,  factory  until  it  comes  to  Harbor  Urook.  At  the  point 
near  the  intersection  of  Hroad  and  Liberty  streets  it  was  known  a  htmdred  years 
ago  as  Roaring  Gully.  In  the  year  1800  Levi  Curtis,  who  lived  in  the  old  S.iinr.el 
Jerome  hou.se  and  owned  a  f)art  of  the  farm,  leased  to  Ambrose  Hough  a  piece  of 
land  southwest  of  iiis  limine  and  extending  west  across  the  south  end  of  present 
Hobart  street  to  erect  a  dam  and  fonn  a  ])ond  for  his  grist  mill  that  he  was  to  buiU!. 
The  land  in  the  vicinity  has  now  been  filled  in  t  >  such  an  extent  that  it  is  difficult 
to  realize  that  there  was  ever  a  pond  and  a  null  m  that  locality.  The  brook  must 
have  a  much  larger  stream  than  it  is  to-day  to  have  gained  such  a  formiilable 
name  as  Roaring  Gully.  At  about  the  same  time  y]^.  Hough  built  a  house  in  which 
he  lived,  that  is  still  standing  and  owned  by  Walter  P>.  Hall.  No.  202  Liberty  street. 
The  position  of  the  house  so  far  below  the  level  of  the  street  is  a  strong  evidence 
of  how  nmch  hllmg  in  has  taken  place  at  that  point.  Mr.  Hough's  mill  nuist 
have  «;tor>(l  a  ^hort  di:>tance  east  of  Center  and  north  of  Liberty  streets.  There  are 
many  people  living  who  remember  this  pond  called  Jordan,  in  which  the  Baptists 
formerly  immersed  their  ctmverts. 

In  1804  a  gin  distillery  was  added  to  the  establishment  nn<l  William  (  )lds  was 
admitted  as  a  partner,  and  later  I'artrick  Clark  became  a  pan  owner.  How  long

same  time  thickened  and  shrunk  it.  A  nap  was  given  by  *'tcazelling*'  or  scratch- 
ing the  surface  with  a  large  prickh  bur  or  thistle  grown  on  a  plant  that  was  cul- 
tivated for  the  purpose  and  called  fuller  s  teazel.  If  a  color  was  to  be  given  the 
cloth  was  immediately  placed  in  the  dyeing  vats,  and  afterwards  taken  to  the  tenter 
field,  where  it  was  spread  to  dry. 

Naturally,  there  were  shops  and  mills  in  Wallingford  many  years  before  any 
were  established  in  Meriden.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  as  long  ago  as  1746,  there  was 
a  ship-building  }  ard  on  the  Quinnipiac  river  that  must  have  been  on  the  other 
side  of  the  stream  opposite  where  the  factory  of  R.  Wallace  &  Sons  Mfg.  Co.  is 
located.  On  Book  10,  Page  208,  of  the  Wallingford  land  records,  Lent  Munson 
transferred  to  Daniel  Clark  "2}4  acres  of  meadow  land  on  the  west  side  of  the  river 
a  little  south  of  Parker's  bridge  near  against  the  middle  of  the  town  at  the  Ship 
Building  Yard."  The  word  "ship"  indicates  that  boats  of  considerable  size  were 
constructed,  perhaps  as  large  as  a  small-sized  sloop.  David  Cook,  of  Wallingford, 
an  active  man  at  this  date,  was  a  ship  owner  and  had  vessels  that  were  sent  to  all 
parts  of  the  world,  and  were  used  in  bringing  negro  slaves  to  this  country.  Who 
owned  the  ship-building  yard  no  one  knows. 

That  section  of  Wallingford,  now  known  as  Yalesville,  was  once  called  Tyler's 
Mills.  In  the  year  1748  Samuel  Tyler,  of  that  locality,  owned  a  fulling  mill  which 
must  have  stood  a  little  east  of  the  present  dam,  for  the  meadow  where  it  was 
located  was  bounded  on  the  east  by  the  river,  but  his  clothing  shop  was  on  the  hill 
west  of  it,  perhaps  where  the  Parker  box  shop  now  stands.  In  the  year  mentioned 
Tyler  leased  the  mill  and  shop  to  James  Hazard  of  Blanford,  Mass.,  for  the  term 
of  three  years,  with  all  utensils  belonging  to  said  mill  for  carrying  on  the  clothiers 
trade,  such  as  mill  ''tainters/*  hooks,  shears,  presses,  dyes,  dye  stuff,  coppers,  etc., 
and  also  the  help  of  his  two  sons,  Lothrop  and  Samuel  Tyler,  who  were  to  be 
taught  the  art  and  mystery  of  the  clothier  s  trade.  Tyler  was  "to  provide  Hazanl 
with  sufficient  meat,  drink,  washing  and  lodging,  and  keep  the  mill  in  repair/*  and 
was  to  receive  as  remuneration  half  the  proceeds.  This  lease  appears  on  Book 
10,  Page  494,  of  Wallingford  land  records,  and  is  the  first  mention  the  writer  has 
found  of  a  fulling  mill  in  the  town  of  Wallingford. 

One  of  the  mills  in  Meriden  of  this  description  has  been  mentioned.  There 
were  two  others :  the  first  was  near  the  Ephraim  Hough  mill  at  the  Cheshire  line. 
The  earliest  mention  of  it  was  in  1769  when  Ephraim  Hough  gave  to  his  son 
Ephraim  a  piece  of  land  on  which  stood  a  fulling  mill  he  had  built  for  him.  It  t$ 
mentioned  again  incidentalj\  in  1793  and  afterwards  there  is  no  further  notice 
to  be  found.   It  stood  just  west  of  the  grist  mill. 

In  the  September  12,  1797,  issue  of  the  Connectiait  Journal,  New  Haven,  ap- 
pears the  following  advertisement :

the  public  to  their  sati^factioll.  Noel  Ives. 

Meriden  September  12  1797. ' 

The  writer  is  unable  to  positively  identify  the  site  of  this  fulling  mill.  There 
is,  however,  a  strong  probability  that  it  was  on  that  branch  of  Pilgrims*  Harbor 
brook  which  flows  north  into  Baldwin's  pond. 

Many  persons  know  the  location  of  a  huge  trap-rock  bowlder  standing  on  the 
edge  of  the  brook»  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  east  of  Gravel  street,  which  is  called 
Flicbe  rock.  Children  used  to  resort  there  years  ago  for  picnics  and  afternoon 
txcursions.  Some  three  or  four  hundred  feet  south  of  this  rock  on  the  edge  of 
the  brook,  can  still  be  plainly  traced,  depressions  marking  the  site  of  a  wheelpit 
and  raceway ;  while  some  ways  to  the  south  are  to  be  seen  the  remains  of  an  ancient 
dam.  There  is  not  the  slightest  sign  of  a  building  or  machinery. 

William  Atwater,  who  has  lived  more  than  fourscore  years  and  ten  and  is 
still  in  vigorotis  health,  resides  in  a  house  on  Gravel  street,  directly  west  of  this 
mill  site;  he  led  the  writer  to  the  spot  one  summer  afternoon,  during  the  year 
just  passed.  Trees  and  shrubs  now  shelter  the  place  with  a  thick  shade,  and  the 
brook  glides  quietly  by  on  its  way  to  Baldwin's  pond  to  the  north.  William  Hub- 
bard Yale,  who  died  a  few  years  ago  an  old  man,  once  pointed  out  the  site  to 
Mr.  Atwater  and  told  him  that  long  ago  a  fulling  mill  was  located  there, 
but  whose  it  was  he  did  not  know,  although  he,  his  father  and  grandfather  had 
owned  the  adjoining  farm  for  a  hundred  years  at  least.  There  seems  to  the  writer 
little  doubt  that  Mr.  Yale  pointed  out  to  Mr.  Atwater  the  site  of  Noel  Ives*  full- 
ing mill  and  further  evidence  that  this  mill  was  located  in  about  the  spot  mentioned 
is  found  in  the  following  advertisement  from  the  Middlesex  Gazette  of  Mar.  i, 
1797: 

"The  Subscriber  respectfully  informs  the  Public,  that  he  is  about  to  set  up  the 
dyeing  of  Cotton  and  Linen  Yarn  Blue,  at  Meriden  in  Wallingford,  one  mile  east 
of  the  Meeting  House  at  the  Clothier's  Shop  occupied  by  Noel  Ives.  I  hose  that 
'.vfll  please  to  favor  him  with  their  custom  may  depend  on  having  good  colours  and 
♦iotie  with  Dispatch  by  Joseph  Rogers." 

In  the  year  1781  a  stocking;  wcavinjj:  ^hop  was  established,  somewhere,  appar- 
t  ritly.  on  the  Cf vuntry  road  in  Rice  s  farms,  for  in  the  Connecticut  Journal  under 
•  iate  of  October,  1781,  the  following  advertisement  appears: 

"James  Vautie,  stocking  weaver,  Has  removed  into  Meriden,  about  four  miks 
north  of  Wallingford  Meeting  House,  on  the  road  to  Hartford,  where  he  carries

former  customers,  and  others.  Said  Vaude  wants  a  journey  man  Stocking- weaver, 
who  may  have  constant  employ  and  good  wages.  Also  an  Apprentice  to  said  Bus- 
iness." 

In  the  issue  of  the  Middlesex  Gazette  dated  April  20, 1801,  **J<)i^th^  Yale  iih 
forms  the  public,  that  he  intends  carr\  tug  on  the  business  of  Dyeing  yarn  Mne 
and  stamping  handkerchiefs  at  his  dwelling  house  in  Meriden/' 

On  Colony  street,  on  the  east  side,  perhaps  about  opposite  the  foot  of  Wilcox 
avenue,  was  once  a  shop  for  manufacturing  potash.  The  first  mention  of  the  es- 
tablishment was  in  the  year  1771  when  tt  was  owned  by  John  Barrett.  In  the 
Connecticut  Journal  July  30,  1777,  appears  the  following  notice: 

"On  Thursday  the  7th  day  of  August  will  be  sold  at  Robinsons  tavern  in  Mer- 
iden ;  The  dwelling  house,  both  potash  works,  and  utensils,  together  with  the  land 
on  which  they  stand,  in  quantity  about  an  acre  and  a  half,  situate  in  said  Meriden. 
being  the  same  latel\  owned  by  Mr.  Barrett.  The  potash  works  are  as  complete 
as  any  in  the  state :  the  house  has  been  built  but  a  little  while  and  that  with  the 
other  buildings  are  in  good  repair.  The  vendue  will  begin  at  three  of  the  docic 
P.  M.  A  title  to  the  aforesaid  several  houses,  bams  &c  will  be  given  by  the  sub- 
scribers of  said  New  Haven. 

Samuel  Bishop  JunlMr 
David  Austin 
Pierpont  Edwards'* 

Matthew  Betlamy  bought  the  works  and  John  Carter,  Jehiel  Preston  9WH^Jbtm 
Hooker  were  later  owners. 

In  the  year  1795  Amos  White  bought  the  comer  adjoining  the  present  fidHlo^ 
of  Eli  C.  Birdsey  and  erected  a  store,  and  we  find  in  the  Middlesex  Gazette^  iifclu 
date  of  May  i8th.  1796,  the  following: 

"New  Goods:  Just  opened  and  now  ready  for  sale,  a  few  rods  east  of  the 
Meeting  House  in  Meriden,  a  general  assortment  of  Dry  Goods,  Groceries  and 
Hardware,  which  will  be  disposed  of  on  very  reasonable  Terms  for  cash  or  shon

The  "Co."  was  a  man  named  John  Hooker,  for  he  seems  to  have  been 
closely  associated  with  him  in  business.  Amos  White  was  later  the  first  town 
clerk  of  Meriden.  This  store  was  probably  the  first  one  opened  in  Meriden.  The 
lot  was  bounded  on  the  east  by  Sabbath  day  house  and  horse  shed  lots  according 
to  the  deed.

Another  store,  started  shortly  after,  was  owned  by  Amasa  Curtis,  whose  part- 
ner was  Isaac  Lewis,  father  of  the  late  Isaac  C.  Lewis.  It  was  at  first  on  the  east 
*ide  of  Curtis  street  near  its  junction  with  liroad  but  in  the  year  1800  it  was 
I>jcated  just  opposite,  in  the  old  house  which  is  still  standing  in  the  point  formed 
by  Curtis  and  Droad  streets. 

The  business  was  carried  on  in  the  northwest  room,  and  continued  until  the  year 
1808  when  Aniasa  died,  only  thirty-nine  years  old.  He  built  the  house  and  bought 
the  lot  in  i/^^i^j.  of  IJenjamin  Hart,  the  consideration  being  a  beaver  hat.  There 
was  just  an  acre  in  the  plot  and  it  was  bounded  on  all  sides  by  streets,  the  high-

The  house  was  bought  of  the  .\masa  Curtis  heirs  by  .\mos.  his  brother,  and 
most  people  know  it  to-day  as  the  Amos  Curtis  place.  In  it  were  born  his  children,

222  A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 

the  great  city,  which  involved  perhaps  several  days  in  a  sailing  vessel  on  the  watcrse 
of  the  Sound,  or  two  or  three  days  in  a  stage  coach. 

Wallingford  village,  ias  compared  to  Meriden  in  those  early  days,  was  a  laigt 
town.   There  were  several  stores  there,  a  short  account  of  which  may  not  be  aintsx 

One  was  run  by  the  immortal  Roger  Sherman,  of  New  Haven,  an  ardent 
patriot,  and  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  In  an  advertisement  in 
the  Connecticut  Gazette  of  March  lo,  1 761,  he  speaks  of  his  stores  at  New  Haven 
and  Wallingford.  In  two  entries  of  the  town  records  he  levied  execution  on  twn 
different  farms  in  Meriden  showing  that  he  must  have  had  business  in  ^is  vicinit}. 

Under  date  of  January  17,  1761,  the  Connecticut  Gazette  prints,  "Just  im- 
ported and  to  be  sold  by  Samuel  Holt,  Wallingford,  an  assortment  of  English 
goods." 

Under  date  of  March  4,  1778,  THc  Connecticut  Journal  prints,  "To  be  sold 
by  Jason  Tyler,  of  Wallingford:  West  India  and  New  England  rum,  currant 
wine.  Muscovado  sugar  of  the  best  quality,  indigo,  pins,  needles,  choice  bohea  Tea. 
alspices,  Dilsworths  Spelling  Books,  white  holland  cambric,  gauze,  fine  twixeU 
dimothy,  chintz,  calico,  mohair,  snuff,  white  and  black  shammy  gloves,  white  lea  1, 
Prussian  blue,  black  ribbon,  white  tape,  writing  paper,  a  quantity  of  cyder ;  Goshen 
]KMs  and  cheese,  bar  iron,  cart  tire,  crooked  and  straight  combs,  scissors  and  jack- 
knives."   What  modern  store  in  Wallingford  can  display  a  greater  variety? 

The  year  1779,  Jan.  24.  the  same  paper  says,  "To  be  sold  for  cash  at  the  store 
adjoining  Doctor  Jared  Pottef's  in  Wallingford — Rum,  wine,  etc."  Dr.  Potter: 
was  one  of  the  most  prominent  physicians  in  New  Haven  county  and  his  honse' 
lot  is  now  the  site  of  St.  PauKs  Episcopal  church. 

The  same  year  the  doctor  advertises,  **Rum,  brandy,  coffee,  tea,  pepper,  indie 
nails,  etc.,"  and  again  on  March  24.  1779.  "American  manufactured  steel  to  he 
sold  by  Doctor  Jared  Potter,  in  W  allingford." 

On  T  une  23.  1779-  ^^^^  Connecticut  Journal  prints,  "Excellent  earthen  ware  '  ' 
wholesale  and  retail,  to  be  sold  on  as  rea< n  iMe  Terms  as  the  Times  will  admit  0^: 
by  Hosford  and  Hull  at  their  Earthern  Ware  store  in  Wallingford  near  Capi' 
James  Rice's," 

On  March  29.  1781.  the  Connecticut  Journal  tells  us  that  "Hezekiah  John>-  n 
has  for  sale  at  his  store  in  Wallingford,  West  India  Rum  by  the  barrel  or  gallon 
New  England  Rum  1)\  do.  glass,  tea  &  dry  goods,"  and  on  >Tay  31  the  same  papc? 
says.  "To  be  sold  by  Newton  Whittlesey  at  his  store  in  Wallingford  Dry  GootK 
knives  &  forks,  spices,  etc.,  together  with  West  India  goods."  On  Xov.  27.  17SJ, 
the  Connecticut  Journal  announces.  "Isaac  Bull,  druggist  and  apothecary  in  W;i'-| 
lingford  Hereby  informs  his  friends  and  customers  in  particular  and  the  public 
in  general  That  he  has  just  received  a  fresh  and  <:rf'"f'''al  «;npply  of  the  most  use-

Dr.  Potter  had  later  formed  a  partnership  with  two  other  gentlemen.  John 
McGeavc  and  Elisha  Wliittlesey,  Junior,  which  was  dissolved  on  Jan.  i,  1785, 
and  the  following  notice  printed:

On  August  26,  1 791,  Caleb  /\t water  announces  that  he  has  gone  out  of  bus- 
iness and  desires  all  persons  owing  him  to  settle  their  accounts  at  once. 

On  \ov.  28,  1791,  the  Connecticut  Journal  states: 

"Stanley  &  Carrington  have  for  sale  at  their  store  in  Wallingford  a  few  rods 
east  of  the  church,  A  General  assortment  of  European  and  West  India  Goods,

good  pay  will  be  made.  They  also  want  to  purchase  a  quantity  of  Pork  for  which

then  ^uve  it  to  his  son.  Xa»h  Vale,  in  1750. 

Xash  continued  as  proprietor  until  1763  when  he  sold  it  to  Yale  Bishop,  of 
Nevs  Haven,  perhaps  a  relative. 

In  June,  1770.  appears  the  following  advertisement  in  the  Comiecticut  Journal: 

"To  be  sold  or  let  hv  the  Subscriber:  The  tinted  Hrnise  and  Homestead  in  the 
Parish  of  Meriden.  in  the  Town  of  \V  alliiit^furd  where  he  now  lives,  containiuji;

For  the  Terms  either  nf  purchasing  or  hiring,  apply  to  the  subscriber,  (m  the 
Premises,  who  will  give  a  good  Title.  \'ale  Bishop." 

The  wife  ,of  Mr.  Bishop  died  in  1766  and  lies  in  the  old  cemetery  on  Meeting 
House  hill  and  on  her  tombstone  it  is  recorded  that  she  "was  buried  with  her  in- 
fant on  her  arm." 

There  has  been  for  man)  >  ears  a  tradition  that  whoever  owned  the  old  ta\*em 
had  a  right  to  keep  a  place  of  entertainment  forever,  and  its  truth  is  settled  b> 
the  statement  in  the  advertisement.  The  right  had  been  given  In  the  Genera! 
Court  in  1662  when  it  grante<l  to  Mr.  Gilbert  the  right  to  keep  an  inn.  In  other 
words  the  authority  was  above  that  of  the  county  court  to  which  every  other  tav- 
ern keej)er  in  .Meriden  or  the  colony  was  obliged  to  apply. 

On  May  -'4.  1773.  an  execution  on  the  tavern  was  taken  by  Jonathan  Fitch, 
of  New  Haven,  and  the  place  soon  passed  into  the  hands  of  James  Jauncey  of  New 
York.  As  Mr.  jauncey  was  a  Tory,  the  farm  was  confiscated  .during  the  Revolu- 
tionary war  and  sold  by  the  state  to  Watt  Hubbard.  It  is  probable  that  Mr.  Hwb- 
bard  kept  a  tavern  here  for  a  white  and  then  disposed  of  it  to  Seth  De  Wolf.  It 
subsequently  passed  into  the  possession  of  Asaph  Merriam,  who  gave  it  to  his  son, 
Sidney.   At  what  date  its  use  as  a  tavern  ceased  the  writer  docs  not  know. 

Mention  has  already  been  made  of  Josiah  Robinson's  tavern,  which  was  the 
really  im[)ortant  one,  according  to  the  ancient  almanacs. 

Aaroti  Lyman  was  given  the  right  to  keep  a  tavern  in  1757  by  the  county  court 
and  the  same  authority  conferred  a  like  distinction  on  John  Webb  in  1 752  and  1 75J. 
But  the  business  was  short  lived  in  the  case  of  these  two  gentlemen.  Daniel! 
Hough  also  maintained  an  inn  for  one  year  in  1767.    Rrenton  Hall  in  1705  andi

executor  of  Samuel's  estate. 

ivCtter  writing  was  probably  not  very  coniinon  in  Meriden  in  the  eighteenth 
c«ntiir)%  but  taverns  were  used  in  lieu  of  post  ofhces  in  small  comnumities,  and 
the  post  rider  left  there  the  mail  to  he  delivered,  and  took  thence  letters  to  be  sent 
away.  We  obtain  a  slight  glimpse  of  the  post  rider  in  the  issue  of  the  Connecti-

"I^st  Mondav   t.  \  t  niiii;.  the  Hartford  I\)st,  having;  arrived  at  his  stage  in

There  are  three  of  these  old  mile  stones  still  to  be  seen  in  Meriden,  doubtless 
erected  in  conformity  with  this  law.  One  is  on  the  east  side  of  Colony  street  in 
front  of  the  Swift  Company  building.  No.  57 ;  another  in  front  of  the  residence 
of  Junius  S.  Norton,  No.  596,  and  the  third  a  mile  north,  in  front  of  the  old  Eli 
Way  farm,  now  owned  by  E.  H.  Higgtnson. 

There  was  for  a  short  time  another  industry  in  Meriden  that  brought  good 
luck  to  no  one,  except  possibly  to  the  workmen  who  labored  underground  to  bring 
to  light  the  hidden  wealth  of  copper  or  gold  that  was  supposed  to  lurk  in  certain 
localities  in  Meriden.  A  quite  ftiU  account  of  this  enterprise  is  given  in  Mr.  Per* 
kins'  Historical  Sketches  of  Meriden.  His  information  was  gained  from  certain 
papers  and  documents  in  possession  of  Deacon  Silas  Rice :  the  Deacon  is  long  since 
deceased  but  the  papers  are  still  in  possession  of  his  grandson,  William  B.  Rice. 

Copper  deposits  or  veins  were  discovered  in  Wallingford  in  the  year  1712* 
possibly  through  the  prospecting  of  Gov.  Jonathan  Belcher  or  his  agents.  At  any 
rate  in  that  year  articles  of  agreement  were  drawn  up  between  William  Partridge 
and  Jonathan  Belcher  on  the  one  part  and  a  committee  representing  the  inhabitants 
of  Wallingford  on  the  other.  The  right  to  dig  for  minerals  was  granted,  and  various 
acts  were  passed  by  the  General  Assembly  to  safeguard  and  protect  the  industry. 
The  mines, were  dug  in  what  is  now  the  southeastern  part  of  Cheshire  near  or  on 
the  old  Bellamy  farm.  Other  mines  were  established  in  Simsbury,  in  that  part 
now  set  off  as  Granby,  which  later  developed  into  the  famous  old  Newgate  prison. 
How  nmch  copper  was  mined  in  Wallingford  there  is  no  way  of  learning.  We 
know  that  Jonathan  Belcher  and  his  partners  expended  large  sums  in  their  ven- 
ture and  that  it  resulted  in  toss  to  all  concerned. 

As  late  as  1732  Mr.  Belcher  was  still  interested  in  the  Wallingford  mines,  for  in 
that  year  he  sent  a  Mr.  North  Ingham,  of  Boston,  with  a  letter  of  introduction  to. 
Rev.  Samuel  Whittlesey  of  Wallingford,  saying  that  Ingham  was  come  to  view 
the  mines  and  that  he  was  a  partner  with  Mr.  Con"  Adam  Winthrop,  of  Boston. 
Mr.  Ingham  was  still  living  in  the  vicinity  of  the  mines  in  1740.  Undoubted!) 
more  copper  was  produced  in  the  Granby  mines  than  in  Wallingford. 

The  mines  in  Meriden  had  no  connection  with  the  Wallingford  operations  and 
were  sunk  by  an  entirely  different  set  of  men.  On  Feb.  8, 1735-6,  Edw.  Burroughs, 
of  Stratford,  leased  to  Jeremiah  Atwater.  Nathaniel  Merriam,  Samuel  Austin,  ana 
others,  a  tract  of  land  containing  fifty  acres  for  digging  for  all  manner  of  minerals.' 
The  lease  specifies  that  the  land  is  located  just  south  of  the  Belcher  farm  and  in 
the  east  part  of  the  Burroughs  farm.   The  spot  where  the  prospecting  was  done 

When  he  had  ridden  a  mile  he  stopped;  from  a  heavy  cart  loaded  with  mile  stones,  which  kept  alonRTt"!*

■n  a  hill  east  of  the  Hartford  trunpike  aLxjut  a  mile  noriii  ot  nritainiia  street, 
luiiful  specimens  of  clear  crystal  quartz  have  been  i)icko(l  up  on  this  hill  by 
TV  now  li\  ill^^  aiiil  it  was  fondly  hoped  by  our  predecessor^  oi  a  imiidred  and 
eniy  years  ago  that  here  ^old  would  be  found.  It  is  doubtful  if  an\  thing  more 
n  a  mere  scratching  of  the  surface  was  ever  attempted  by  these  gentlemen  in 
r  vain  quest  for  gold.  There  is  no  evidence  that  actual  nnmng  operations  were 
\m. 

( )n  the  hill  in  the  western  part  of  Walnut  ( /ruve  cemetery  are  the  rcuiains  of 
ancient  working  known  as  Golden  I'arlor  Mine.  There  are  two  adjoining 
Its  still  tri  be  serii  o.  Inch  were  excavated  to  a  de])tii  of  twelve  or  lifteeti  feet, 
•ni  the  shafts,  galleries  or  drifts  led  to  the  west  a  good  many  feet.  The  farms 
Jr.  \\  iliiam  Hough  and  Timothy  Ro>s  were  adjoining  and  ran  from  the  C  onn- 

road  to  the  river  on  the  west.  That  of  Timothy's  was  whollv  west  of  Dr. 
ngh's  and  the  common  b*)undary  was  somewdierc  on  the  hill  or  crest  where 

mines  were  dug.    The  Hough  farm  and  quite  a  portion  of  the  Roys  holdings 

e  during  the  greater  part  of  the  last  century  in  the  possession  of  the  Wood 
;ilv.  .and  the  writer  has  l>een  told  by  Xorman  .S.  Wood  and  his  nephew,  Charles 

ti.at  when  they  lived  on  the  farm  it  was  possible  to  penetrate  quite  a  distance 
)  the  old  drifts.    In  one  of  the  shaii.^  the  present  su])erintendent  of  the  cemc- 

.  1  red  F.  Bowen,  found  quite  a  nugget  of  copper  and  also  the  remains  of  one 
he  ancient  iron  haimners,  probably  u.sed  by  the  workmen  in  the  olden  days.  It 
lot  positive  that  the  present  shafts  were  those  of  the  Golden  I'arlor  mine  on 

Roys  lease  or  were  made  by  those  who  were  digging  for  copper  on  the  Hough 
n.    The  mines  were  not  far  apart. 

On  the  Wallingford  land  records  under  date  of  Feb.  2,  1735-6,  api^ears  a  sale 
the  right  to  mine  coi>per  on  the  farm  of  Dr.  Hough  by  Thomas  Foster  to 
lhaniel  Bacon  and  Josiah  W'etmore,  of  Middletown,  for  £20.^  On  Feb.  20, 
5-6.  Dr.  Hough  executed  a  new  lease  of  the  property  to  Samuel  Dwight,  Seth 
tmore,  Nathaniel  Bacon,  Josiah  Wetmore  and  Edward  Higbee  of  Middletown, 
I  Jonathan  and  Robert  G>lHns  of  Meriden:  the  consideration  being  "one-fifth 
t  of  all  dug  out  upon  said  land  at  the  end  of  every  month/'^ 
On  March  13,  1736-7,  Timothy  Roys  leased  the  right  to  mine  copper  on  his 
:  of  the  line,  which  perhaps  subsequently  grew  into  the  Golden  Parlor  Mine.' 
e  lessees  divided  up  the  property  in  the  following  proportions:  Edward  Higbee,

A  CENTUKV  OF  MERIDEN. 


These  records  comprise  all  the  knuvvled^c  ue  have  of  the  (luinj;>  of  the  ( iolder 
Parlor  Mine  association.  There  is  a  tniditiun  that  a  cargo  of  oro  w.is  shipjxjd  tc 
England  and  the  vessel  was  lo^^t  .it  sea  and  the  owners  were  so  discouraged  In  ihii 
misfortune  that  the  mines  were  abandoned. 

I'.ijt  Dr.  Hongh  was  at  work  at  the  mines  on  his  side  of  the  hill  l8  years  later 
At  this  time  he  was  livmg  ni  Haddani  and  tlie  farm  was  the  homestead  of  liis  son 
\\  ilham  Hough,  Jr.,  the  blacksmith.  On  March  21.  1755.  ^'i*^  son  mortgaged  th< 
farm  t(j  his  father  and  this  clause  occurs  in  the  deed:  "Tlic  condition  of  the  n\y()\{ 
ubhgation  is  such  that  if  the  above  W'ilHam  Hough  shall  allow  iii>  .said  lather  tra

or  whatever  shall  be  needful  for  carrying  on  the  work,  and  shall  have  liberiy  v 
pass  to  said  nnnes,  on  the  south  side  of  his  home  lot,  from  the  highway,  to  llu 
mines  for  ea:  ung."^  etc..  etc. 

These  records  make  it  very  donblful  to  the  writer  whether  the  remains  of  tlu 
.shafts  in  the  w  estern  part  of  W  alnut  Grove  cemetery  were  those  made  by  llu 
Golden  Parlor  Mine  Company  or  by  Dr.  William  iluugh  and  his  lessees. 

It  is  a  singular  fact  that  in  1754  the  mining  fever  should  have  found  a  victi:r 
in  one  of  Wallingford's  fair  damsels.  1  hat  distinguished  divine,  Rev.  Saniue' 
Whittlesey,  for  many  years  pastor  of  the  clnirch  in  W'allingford.  and  one  of  the  \wi' 
popular  clergymen  in  the  colon)  ,  had  a  daughter.  Kaiharnie.  who  married  on  Mai 
8,  1759,  the  Rev.  James  Dana,  successor  in  the  jjastorate  to  the  Rev.  Samuel. 
Nov.  29th,  1754"  K.iiiiarine  bought  of  liie  heirs  of  Timothy  Roys  all  right  to  th< 
mines  and  minerals  that  bad  formerly  been  leaded  to  the  ( j<;)ldcn  i'arlor  Mining 
Co..  and  on  December  4tlr"  lullowing  she  bought  of  Timothy,  Jr..  18  acres,  wliici: 
contained  the  luines  in  tjuestion.  What  she  did  with  the  property  there  is  no  rccor< 
left  to  tell  us. 

Mr.  Perkins  says  that  n  itl  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  Dan  John^'J 
bought  large  tracts  of  land  in  ihe  Hanging  Hills  district  in  the  hope  of  hti.lm^ 
minerals  in  sufficient  (juantities  to  make  the  venture  pay  and  mentions  "  W  ithin  tin 
'Notch'  is  an  elevation  called  'Miiung  Hill.'  winch  is  said  by  tho.se  acquainiec 
with  Geology  to  abound  in  indications  of  valuable  minerals.  "  Many  will  remenv 
ber  the  (^bstaeie  encountered  by  the  city  authorities  when  it  was  first  proposed

valuable  deposits  of  gold  and  a  large  price  was  demanded.  The  hill  is  now  i

EARLY  HISTOKV. 


rjutlf  a  mining  craze  for  a  number  of  years  and  much  ni<>iK'\  nui^i  luive  Iwen  lost 
in  the  ventures,  for  no  Calumet  and  liecla  plum  ever  dropped  into  the  pockets 
ci  Meridcn  s  homespun  coats  and  trousers. 

A  curious  infereiux'  relative  to  the  name  Hanover  ma\  bo  lUawn  from  the  cop- 
per mining  industry  on  .Milking  Yard  Hill,  now  a  part  of  \\  alnut  drove  ceinetery. 
Thij.  name  was  atlopted  for  the  village  nt  I'alls  Plain,  now  South  Meriden. 
h  the  year  Dr.  Davis  says  in  his  History  ni  W'allingford  and  Meriden'  that 

:hc  name  was  decided  on  bv  the  proprietors  of  the  augur  factory,  and  the  result 
aiHiuunccd  to  the  people  by  Dr.  Isaac  I.  Hough,  on  hine  1S32.  This  is 
'5>ubiless  so:  but  })crhaps  the  name  has  an  older  pedigree  than  one  might  be  led 
: J  believe  by  this  statement.  It  is  a  fact  that  the  workmen  engaged  in  the  copi)er 
ni.ning  industry  in  this  colony  were  nlo^tly  ( lernians.  This  w  as  the  case  in  the 
Iklcher  mines  in  Wallingford  and  also  in  Simsbury,  now  dranby.  In  I'heljjs' 
-tistorv  of  Simsl)ury.  (iraTiljy  and  C  anton-  the  names  of  three  of  these  ( iennans 

preserved  viz;  John  Sydervclt.  Cas})ar  lioofman  and  John  Christian  Muller. 
Wry  close  to  the  mines  in  thai  u»\\  n  were  the  smelting  works  where  the  ore  was 
crushed,  refined  and  smelted  and  the  locality  was  called  Haiu>ver.  because  these 
'jemians  lived  there,  and  the  name  oi  a  large  (lerman  city  was  used  to  describe 
the  settlement  just  as  to-day  we  frequently  employ  the  name  Dublin  to  designate 
a  C'j'lony  of  Irishmen. 

The  copper  mining  industry  in  Meriden  was  located  on  the  hill  jnsi  <.ast  of 
Falls  Plain  and  it  does  not  take  a  large  share  of  imagination  to  fancy  that  while 
Hanover  was  formall\  adopted  in  1832  to  describe  the  new  village,  it  may  really 
have  been  in  use  for  a  long  time  previously  and  applied  to  a  locality  in  the  innne- 
fliate  vicinity,  just  as  the  name  Meriden,  which  belonged  originally  to  the  large 
farm  in  ihe  northern  part  of  this  town,  was  formally  adopted  in  1729  for  the  whole 
parish. 

PHYSICI.XNS. 

While  the  practice  of  medicine  cannot  perhaps  be  called  an  industry,  but  rather 
a  science  and  a  profesion,  still  it  is  always  an  important  part  of  the  daily  life  of 
•verj-  community,  and  the  proper  place  to  treat  of  tfie  early  medical  practitioners 
of  Meriden  would  naturally  seem  to  fall  into  that  chapter  devoted  to  the  home  life, 

indt'strial  pursuits  and  avocations  of  the  people. 

Incidentally  two  or  three  early  physicians  have  been  mentioned.  The  pioneer 
Dr.  Ebenezer  Cooper,  is  first  heard  of  in  Meriden  in  1724  when,  in  partnership  with 
a  Samuel  Butler,  he  bought  of  John  Cole,  the  Boston  schoolmaster,  a  tract  of  350 
'icrcs  on  the  west  side  of  the  Country  road  north  of  the  farm  of  Bartholomew 
Foster.^   This  land  they  sold  to  Robert  Collins,  of  Middletown,  on  May  30,  1727.

A  CKXTURY  OF  MEUIOEN. 


Dr.  Cooper  mtist  have  lived  on  this  fann  for  his  name  occurs  in  a  list  of  Meriden 
petitioners  in  17^5-^  He  next  bought  a  small  tract  in  the  southeastern  part  of  the 
town  and  the  house  of  Wm.  B.  Rice,  corner  of  Paddock  and  Miller  avenues,  occu- 
pies the  site  of  the  homestead  of  Dr.  Cooper.  He  died  in  1742  and  was  survived 
by  his  widow,  Thankful.  She  was  a}}]K)inted  administratrix  of  his  estate  at  a  pro- 
bate court  held  on  May  8,  174J,  in  New  Haven,  and  an  inventory  was  then  filed 
%vhich  included  the  following  items: 

House  and  lot;  a  great  Bible:  an  oUl  P.ible:  5  books  of  sermons:  a  testament 
and  psalter:  1  sermon,  7  ])apcr  books,  a  liook  of  authors  and  a  ilictionary  ;  simdr}

scales,  box  and  weights :  3  seives :  3  Lances  and  2  glasses. 

The  estate  uas  found  to  be  insolvent  and  in  the  Colonial  Records  of  Conmc-

A  CENTURV  OF  MtlRIDEN. 


The  writer  has  liad  the  privilege  of  a  careful  examination  of  an  old  account 
book^  once  kept  by  Dr.  Hall.  A  portion  only  is  left,  but  sufficient  to  show  that 
his  practice  took  him  at  various  times  to  Cheshire,  Guilford.  Westbury,  Middle- 
town,  Middlefield,  Northford.  Durham  and  even  Hebron.  His  charge  ahvays 
included  travel  to  the  patient  which  varied  according  to  the  distance.  In  Meridfn 
the  item  is  usually  charged  at  one  shilling.  The  medicine  was  a  separate  item,  and 
included  such  drugs  as  elixir  camphire.  hypochondriac  pills,  universal  pills,  War- 
wick powders.  Elixir  Proprietatis  (conunonly  called  nowadays  Eli.xir  Pro.).  Bit- 


ter powder,  stinking  drops  (probably  asafetida),  rhubarb,  contrayerva,  vipcrane 
salts  of  amber,  etc.  Among  the  list  of  patients  we  find  the  names  of  Deacon  Ebon

Parker  avenue  and  Ann  street,  William  Merriam  of  Pilgrims'  Harbor.  Lazar:^ 
Ives,  Samuel  Penlield,  John  Hall.  Elisha  Scovill  and  Daniel  Baldwin. 

Now  and  then  he  bleeds  a  patient,  and  finally  we  encounter  an  entry  that  fairt)

EARLY  HISTORY. 


sa  had  been  discovered  to  comfort  the  poor  sufferer.  On  September  17,  1770,  he 
was  called  to  the  home  of  Ebenezer  Hubbard,  of  Middlefield,  for  which  he  charged 
"travel  4s"  and  then  comes  the  gruesome  item  ''to  burning  his  wffes  cancer  twice 
IS."  This  probably  involved  nothing  more  or  less  than  searing  it  with  a  red  hot 

In  those  days  smallpox  was  dreaded  even  more  than  it  is  tO'day ;  one  terrible 
Kourge  devastated  the  parish  of  Cheshire  in  1752  when  eighteen  people  died  in 
a  few  weeks.  The  disease  was  always  a  possibility  and  every  known  precaution 
used  to  avoid  it.  The  usual  remedy  for  rendering  a  person  immune  was  in- 
(cnbtiofi  and  it  was  a  custom  to  form  neighborhood  parties  and  take  the  infection 
togedter.  In  the  Oliver  Rice  homestead  is  preserved  a  recipe  to  be  t^ken  during 
mnctilation,  of  which  the  following  is  a  copy: 

A  Receipt  for  the  preparation  for  the  Small  Pox 

Take  one  Pound  of  Blue  Flafjgr  root  pound  it  well  boil  it  in  a  Gallon  «>f  Water 
a  paste,  strain  it  through  a  lawn,  then  add  to  its  fourth  Manna,  then  half  the 
Whole  Castle  soap  Mix  it  well  and  make  into  Pills  somewhat  less  than  a  small 
pea— A  Dram  is  a  dose  for  a  grown  Person — Take  a  Pill  each  morning  after  In- 
^  culack>n  till  the  Symptoms  come  on." 

In  the  Connecticut  Journal  for  Jan.  31,  1793,  appears  the  following  adver- 
tisement:

There  is  a  tradition  in  the  Julius  Hall  family  that  there  was  formerly  a  pest 
house  located  on  High  Hill  road  a  little  east  of  its  junction  with  Thorp  avenue,  and 
it  probably  was  the  house  mentioned  in  the  advertisement.  Brenton  Hall's  home 
was  in  the  extreme  eastern  part  of  Merideni  and  to  a  person  in  Middletown  it 
would  be  near  the  pest  house. 

The  introduction  of  vaccination  in  Meriden  took  place  in  1814.^  At  a  town 
meeting  held  Vpril  23rd  of  that  year  it  was  *'voted  to  appoint  a  committee  of  two

His  face  indi-

still  living  remember 
the  bluff  old  doctor

a  good  one  on  the  doctor:  His  friend  Captain  Roswell  Cowles  occupied 
a  hfiL'se  that  stoo<i  on  the  site  of  the  old  town  hall :  he  was  a  mason  builder  and

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDBN. 


passing  the  place.  Dr.  Hough  saw  the  captain  standing  in  his  stoneyard,  and 
drawing  up  his  horse  to  the  side  of  the  road,  began  to  chatp  and  finally  remarked. 
"Well,  Captain,  I  suppose  you  keep  a  stone  for  each  person  in  town,  duly  in- 
scribed with  the  name,  and  date  of  birth,  and  are  only  waiting  to  fill  in  the  date 
of  death."  "Yes,"  said  the  captain,  "tliat's  right,  but  in  the  case  of  your  patient?, 
I  can  calculate  the  date  of  dcatli  so  closely  that  it  isn't  necessary  to  leave  it  blank/ 
His  tavern  at  the  comer  of  Broad  and  Main  streets  was  a  famous  place,  ami 
known  the  country  round ;  it  stood  just  half  way  between  Hartford  and  Xc» 
Haven  on  the  old  turnpike,  and  was  the  headquarters  for  stage  coach  passengers^ 
for  here  horses  were  changed  and  a  stop  was  made  for  meals,  and  his  acquaint- 
ance with  travelers,  of  course,  was  large  and  he  knew  many  of  the  promineni 
figures  of  this  and  other  states.  Although,  of  course,  liquor  was  dispensed  at  lus 
bar  he  never  drank  himself,  and.  in  fact,  used  his  influence  to  dissuade  others  iTc<n 
the  practice.  In  Dr.  Davis'  History  of  Meriden  is  a  verse  that  was  composed  »a*\ 
told  to  the  doctor  to  his  great  enjoyment. 

"Dr.  Hough,  he  keeps  good  stuff, 
.\nd  lives  just  under  the  steeple 
r.\  hook  or  by  crook,  he  keeps  his  good  looks 
And  takes  the  cash  from  the  people." 

It  was  lari^cly  through  Dr.  Hough's  efforts  that  the  turnpike  from  Meriden  tn 
Middletown  was  built  in  1809  :  he  and  Hczekiah  Rice  of  the  latter  place  bein? 
the  incorporators.  Late  in  life  Dr.  Hough  lived  for  a  short  time  in  what  is  nov 
known  as  the  Rogers'  block,  corner  South  Colony  and  Main  streets.  He  died  if? 
the  house  owned  by  Henry  C.  Butler  on  the  site  of  which  dwellinc:  nmv  sr-rvu  tl>! 
First  National  Bank  building.  In  1825  he  formed  a  partnership  with  Dr.  \V\1Ivj 
Woodward. 

Dr.  Woodward  was  born  in  Snntbin.j^ton  in  1801  and  i^aadnated  from  Yale 
ical  school  in  1823  and  .soon  after  located  in  Meriden.    lie  died  Mar.  31.

CHAPTER  XIV. 

I 

As  has  been  already  stated,  it  is  not  probable  that  there  was  ever  an  Indian! 
settlement  in  any  part  of  the  territory  of  Meriden.  Nevertheless,  Indians  fre^ 
quently  resorted  here  for  game,  and  in  journeying  from  the  Tunxis  Valley  or  the 
country  about  Hartford  to  the  waters  of  the  Sound  at  New  Haven,  they  followed 
a  trail  which  led  through  this  valley  in  the  general  line  of  Colony  street. 

There  were,  however,  Indians  living  in  Meriden  after  it  had  become  a  separate 
parish — probably  a  few  stragglers  from  some  tribe,  perhaps  of  the  Quinnipiac« 
at  East  Haven.  There  is  a  4radition  in  the  Julius  Hall  homestead  on  Murdock 
avenue,  that  during  cold  weather  two  or  three  of  these  stragglers  were  in  the 
habit  of  coming  to  the  home  of  Daniel  Hall,  the  first  of  Wallingford's  pioneen 
An  the  Dogs'  Misery  Country,  and  asking  to  be  allowed  to  warm  themselves  before 
the  white  man's  fire.  These  red  men  were  said  to  live  somewhere  northwest  d 
the  old  homestead. 

Mention  has  been  made  of  a  large  bowlder  lying  on  the  bank  of  Harbor  Brook 
about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  east  of  Gravel  street,  which  is  called  Phebe  rock.  It  u 
said  to  be  so  named  because  the  phebe  birds  build  nests  in  the  crevices  of  the  rock 

But  there  is  a  deed  on  file  in  the  Wallingford  land  records^  which  tndicatti 
that  the  word  Phebe  formerly  was  used  to  locate  a  certain  tract  of  land  in  tk( 
vicinity  of  this  rock.  It  was  a  part  of  the  Penfield  farm  that  had  previously  beca 
the  property  of  Dr.  Alexander  Wolcott.  Nathaniel  Penfield  on  Mar.  16,  1774 
leased  to  Joseph  Shaylor,  a  tract  of  land  containing  one  acre  and  ntnet>*  rods  ttei 
was  bounded  west  on  what  is  now  Gravel  street  and  east  on  Phebe  Quive  land 
At  that  time  there  was  no  one  in  the  parish  of  Meriden  of  that  name  owning  hmd^ 
and  never  had  been.  Besides,  this  strip  of  land  was  wholly  in  the  farm  of  Natfav- 
iel  Penfield ;  his  neighbor  on  the  east  being  Daniel  Baldwin.  This  name  sonoA 
very  much  like  that  of  an  Indian.  Two  or  three  persons  whose  opinions  are  oi 
weight  in  such  matters  were  consulted  and  each  one  thought  it  the  name  of  ai 
Indian  woman.  Now  was  there  ever  in  Meriden  an  Indian  woman  named  Fbcbe' 
The  records  of  Rev.  Theophilus  Hall  were  consulted,  and  the  suspicion  was  coft 
firmed.   In  his  record  of  baptisms  are  found  the  following  entries : 

**May  9  1737  Baptized  Phebe  an  Indian  uuman  privately  upon  a  sick  bed-  * 
On  May  14,  1737,  in  the  parson's  record  of  deaths  appears: 
"Died  Phebe  an  Indian  Woman  in  mv  house."

EARLY  HISTORY. 


On  Feb.  20,  1744,  the  foUowmg  entry  was  made: 

'Died  Phebe  an  Indian  child  in  my  house. '  Doubtless,  a  child  of  the  first 
Pbebe. 

The  day  after  the  death  of  the  first  Phebe  occurs : 

"May  15  1737  Baptized  iiiv  Indian  children  Patience  and  Anthony.** 

Again  on  Dec.  27, 1741 : 

"Died  an  Indian  child  at  Mr  Sanfords." 

While  one  person's  opinion  is  as  good,  perhaps,  as  another's  in  such  a  ques- 
tion, where  absolute  proof  is  impossible,  still  there  is  a  very  plausible  inference 
suggested  by  these  facts. 

While  probably  phebe  birds  build  nests  around  the  lonesome  old  rock,  still 
tliey  cannot  have  given  the  name  of  Phebe  Quive  to  the  land  adjoining.  The 
fancy  is  liable  to  arise  in  one's  mind  that  an  Indian  woman  of  this  name  was 
a  squatter  on  the  land,  that  she  became  very  ill  and  that  the  good  parson  went 
to  see  her  and  told  her  of  the  danger  of  death  without  faith  in  Christ  and  signaliz- 
ing that  faith  by  the  act  of  baptism ;  that  then  he  took  her  from  her  rude  shelter 
10  his  house  where  she  died  five  days  later,  but  not  until  she  had  his  promise  to 
baptize  her  children,  which  he  proceeded  to  do  the  day  after  her  death. 

Qiildren  for  years  have  been  in  the  habit  of  going  to  this  rock  on  excursions. 
Pmhaps  they  used  to  visit  the  Indian  woman  there  in  the  old  days,  and  the 
sunrival  of  the  custom  was  simply  a  habit,  for  children  are  always  imitative  and 
like  to  do  what  their  predecessors  have  done.  It  is  possible  with  such  suggestions 
to  let  one's  imagination  run  riot ;  it  is  a  harmless  form  of  amusement,  but  as  these 
juuals  should  deal  only  with  actual  facts  as  recorded,  it  is  beyond  the  province  of 
the  writer  to  attempt  to  weave  a  romance. 

In  the  vicinity  of  New  Haven  at  the  time  Wallingford  was  settled,  viz.  1670. 
there  lived  an  Indian  named  Rum  Tom.  He  seems  to  have  been  a  peculiar  old 
tellow  who  was  always  getting  into  trouble  through  his  love  of  firewater.  There 
^  se\-eral  entries  on  the  records  of  the  county  court  of  his  being  brought  before 
the  grand  jury  on  the  charge  of  drunkenness  and  wanton  mischief.  His  invar- 
iable plea  was  that  some  white  man  had  sold  him  either  "cyder"  or  rum,  and  that 
he  had  partaken  of  it  intending  no  harm.  Both  the  white  man  and  Rum  Tom 
were  invariably  fined  and  commanded  to  do  so  no  more.  On  one  occasion  he 
veiy  nearly  caused  the  death  of  Isaac  Royce,  of  Wallingford,  who  afterwards 
owned  a  large  tract  of  land  at  Milking  Yard  or  Royce's  farms.  We  will  let  Isaac 
tell  his  own  story  as  he  did  to  the  court  on  Nov.  8,  1676. 

'*Isaac  Royce  of  Wallingford  complained  y^  as  he  was  going  home  the  6***  this 
Instant  betweene  Sunsett  and  day  light  shutting  in  he  saw  fire  upon  the  playnes

&  coming  towards  it  &  pretty  ncarc  there  was  a  gun  shott  off  &  he  heard  the 
bulHtts  fly  but  how  neare  to  him  he  knew  not  &  it  appeared  to  be  Rum  Tom  as 
he  saw  after.  Rum  Tom  being  called  to  answer  S**  That  he  strucke  fire  but  he 
was  sorry  he  did  soe:  he  he  had  drunke  two  cups  of  cydar  that  he  scarce  knew 
what  he  did :  after  much  debate  with  him  about  it  Rum  Tom  was  dismist  &  or- 
dered to  pay  Isaac  Royce  for  his  dayes  attendance  &  charge  at  the  ordinary." 

This  was  positively  Rum  Tom's  last  appearance,  and  the  facts  above  recorded 
comprise  all  the  information  the  writer  has  been  able  to  glean  relating  to  Indians 
in  Meriden  and  WalHngford. 

KEGRO  SLAVES. 

There  is  no  fact  in  ow  early  history  more  difficult  to  realize  at  this  day  than 
that  our  ancestors  were  holders  of  negro  slaves  and  that  they  bought  and  sold 
them  as  they  did  horses  and  cattle. 

Any  one,  however,  who  burrows  among  ancient  papers  and  documents  is  liable 
at  the  very  beginninj?  of  his  researches  to  run  against  the  evidence  so  forcibl\  . 
and  the  facts  accumulate  so  rapidly  that  he  is  soon  almost  persuaded  that  all  the 
early  property  owners  were  slaveholders. 

Svch  is  not  the  case,  tiowever,  but  slaves  were  sufficiently  numerous  in  Meri- 
den and  Wallingford  as  elsewhere  in  Connecticut,  to  make  this  phase  of  colonial 
life  a  very  interesting  one.  it  was  a  general  custom  all  over  the  country  and  in- 
deed wherever  the  negro  was  domiciled. 

The  earliest  record  that  the  writer  has  been  able  to  discover  of  a  negro  slave 
belonging  to  a  ^Teriden  man  is  contained  in  the  will  of  that  "trusty  friend,"  Na- 
thaniel Royce,  dated  April  i,  1718,  and  proved  in  the  probate  court  on  June  15, 
1726.    One  clause  in  the  will  bequeaths  t<>  his  wife  liis  negro  woman. 

The  records  of  vital  statistics  kept  by  Rev.  Theophilus  Hall  abound  in  bap- 
tisms of  the  children  of  negro  slaves,  and  in  accounts  of  deaths  and  burials. 

They  were  as  carefully  recorded  as  those  relating  to  white  people,  although 
witli  pe  rhaps  a  little  less  dignity.  For  instance,  we  meet  with  such  entries  as 
"March  i  1741  baptized  London  servant  of  John  Webb,"  "Sept  12  1742  baptized 
Primus  servant  of  Lazarus  Tves, '  '  Wpril  24  1748  baptized  negro  child  of  John 
Merriam."    There  are  just  twenty  of  these  entrie>i. 

The  parson  also  recordetl  the  deaths  or  burials  of  thirty-four  negro  servants 
entered  as,  for  instance: 

"1737  Aaron  Lymans  negro." 

"May  7  1741  Dyed  Kben*'^  Sanfords  negro  boy." 

■'(  )ctober  1746  two  negro  twins  of  Lemuel  Hough." 

"Dec  20  1746  London  servant  to  John  Webb."

•  June  8  1758  my  negro  child  Gin." 
June  2y  1758  iny  negro  child  Rose." 

On  the  other  hand  although  the  baptisms  and  deaths  are  so  carefully  entered, 
one  will  look  in  vain  in  Mr.  Halls  notes  for  a  record  of  the  marriage  of  a  negro 
oiople.  In  fact,  there  are  only  three  or  four  such  notices  in  the  town  records  of 
\\aI)in£^ord.  Perhaps  slave  couples  were  married*  by  a  justice  of  the  peace,  but 
that  there  was  a  marriage  service  is  beyond  question.  That  the  marriage  was 
r^rformed  in  a  different  manner  from  those  of  white  people  might  seem  possible 
it  one  can  believe  that  there  is  a  kernel  of  truth  in  the  following  tradition : 

Xoah,  the  ancestor  of  Julius  Yale,  was  the  owner  of  a  slave  named  Chatham 
Freeman,  who  earned  his  freedom  by  serving  in  the  place  of  his  master,  as  a 
KAAvtT  m  the  Revolutionary  war.  The  story  goes  that  when  he  at  last  became  a 
free  man  he  told  his  former  master  that  he  "wanted  to  be  married  just  like  white 
tulks."  According  to  the  Wallingford  records,  Noah  Yale  emancipated  Chatham, 
his  wife  Mercier  and  child  Jube  on  April  29,  1782. 

Some  little  time  after  the  marriage  he  came  to  Mr.  Yale  and  said  he  wanted 
to  he  "unmarried  as  I  never  can  stand  it  to  be  married  to  that  woman."  On 
bctn^  told  that  there  was  no  remedy — ^that  now  he  was  married  he  must  stay  so, 
he  went  away  exclaiming,  with  uplifted  hands,  "Oh  Massa  what  I  gwine  do,  what 
I  guine  do?**  Chatham  afterwards  made  the  best  of  his  bargain,  became  a  land- 
owner and  lived  in  a  house  that  formerly  stood  on  Paddock  avenue  just  north  of 
the  driveway  leading  to  the  house  of  Charles  Z.  Murdock.  Another  negro  named 
Cato  Freeman,  perhaps  a  brother  of  Chatham,  lived  in  a  house  just  over  the  line  in 
Wallingford.  on  Misery  road.  Its  site  is  now  occupied  by  the  homestead  of  John 
Francis.  Fowler's  "Historical  Status  of  the  Negro  in  Connecticut,**  has  this  to 
say: 

**l'cui  were  set  apart  for  the  necjroes  in  the  meetini^-hnu'^i's,  where  they  <yQn- 
erally  were  ])rcscnl  ;  tht-y  were  often  ([uesli<Mic(l  alxuit  the  scnnon  heard  on  the

in  Ijaptisni.  bv  their  believing  masters  nr  mistresses.  They  were  ni*. .  nira^^ed  tn 
:narry  and  rear  laniih'es.  Some  of  these  facts  I  get  from  ancient  church  reci)rd>; 
->me  from  tradition  :  and  sonic  from  statenient>  which  I  heard,  when  young,  made 
^.  owners  ui  .slaves,  ur  bv  those  who  were  Ijred  u])  in  famihes  with  them.  Tn

K:vcn  ;  an<i  the  names  of  their  masters  and  their  consent  to  the  marriage,  are  given." 

The  negro  was  bought  and  sold  without  the  dignity  of  a  record  of  the  event 
on  the  town  books.  He  passed  with  the  delivery  of  a  bill  of  sale,  which  was  con- 
fidered  sufficient  evidence  of  the  new  ownership.

laws  of  the  colony  relating  to  slaves  were  very  strict.  Granted  the  ex' 
of  slavery,  such  laws  are  absolutely  necessary  for  the  preservation  of  the 
ion,  for  a  slave  is  a  species  of  property  that  can  steal  itself. 
» negro,  mulatto  or  Indian  servant"  could  go  from  one  town  to  another  with*

liter  or  mistress.  No  free  n^o  was  allowed  to  travel  without  he  or  she 
:ertiiicate  testifying  to  such  condition  of  freedom.^  The  state  of  the  poor 
lave  was  certainly  not  an  enviable  one. 

1  yet  notwithstanding  these  various  laws  and  restrictions  they  were 
with  much  kindness  and  consideration.  It  was  not  an  uncommon  act  for 
rr  to  embody  a  clause  in  his  will  making  his  slaves  free,  and  even  distribute 
ertain  amount  of  the  estate  for  the  support  of  the  slave  or  freedoian.  Capt. 
Irodcett,  of  Wallingford,  who  died  in  1773,  by  the  terms  of  his  will,  gave  his 
Esau  and  Grace,  their  freedom  after  the  death  of  his  widow,  and  the  widow, 
at  her  death  in  1777,  left  for  the  support  of  the  dusky  couple  the  use  of 
iiestead  so  long  as  they  should  live,  together  with  cows,  household  fumi- 
id  fanning  utensils. 

t  Rev.  Samuel  Hall,  of  Cheshire,  who  died  in  1776,  willed  his  negro  slave, 
to  his  vridow  to  wait  on  her  as  long  as  she  should  live  and  when  she

the  entrance  to  Mr.  Murdock's  driveway.  A  son  of  Chatham  Freeman,  Lemon, 
lived  in  a  house  that  formerly  stood  near  the  north  end  of  Swaync  avenue.  Lemon  s 
son  Richard  died  in  this  house  some  fifteen  years  ago.  There  are  still  many  peo- 
ple who  can  remember  Robin  Prinn,  who  was  once  in  great  demand  on  many 
occasions,  for  he  and  his  violin  were  famous  the  country  round. 

L>ut.  notwithstanding  the  general  kindness  with  which  the  negro  slave  was 
treated,  he  yearned  for  freedom  and  once  in  a  while  took  IVench  leave  and  set  out

to  get  away  to  an\  distance,  and  even  if  he  gained  the  shelter  of  another  colony  he 
was  again  liable  to  be  impressed  into  new  service  and  virtually  kidnapped.  As 
soon  as  the  master  was  aware  tliat  his  servant  had  run  away  he  hastened  to  the 
nearest  town  where  a  newspaper  was  published,  and  inserted  an  advertisement.  One 
of  tlie  earliest  of  ilie^e  notices  inserted  by  a  W'allingford  man  appears  in  the  Con-

''Run  away  from  Nathaniel  Curtis  of  Waliingford  3  weeks  ago  a  negro  man

pay  his  passage  back  to  the  Cape  de  Verde  Island.  Cook  was  also  fined

<  to  assist  him  in  procuring  passage  to  his  native  country, 
nope  that  he  got  safely  back  to  his  family  and  fiiends.   No  matter  how 

a  slave  was  treated  by  his  master  the  institution  was  an  iniquitous  one

t  public  condemnation  of  the  sin  of  slavery  made  in  Wallingford  seems 
■n  contained  in  a  sermon  delivered  by  Rev.  Samuel  Andrews  preached  on 
eneral  Fast  July  10,  1775.  Mr.  Andrews  was  the  minister  of  the  Epis- 
:h  there  and  a  pronounced  Tory  in  his  views.  Speaking  of  one  of  the 
e  people  in  which  there  should  be  reform,  he  said,  ''And  here,  as  we 
be  now  contending  for  those  liberties  which  God  and  nature  have  given 
common  with  us,  to  all  the  human  race :  is  it  not  worth  our  serious  con- 
whether  our  detaining  in  captivity,  a  part  of  our  fellow  creatures,  can 
ed  willi  our  principles  of  liberty,  and  if  not,  to  examine  whether  it  is  not 
either  to  change  our  principles,  or  let  the  oppressed  go  free:  for  how 
pect  God  will  work  that  deliverance  for  us,  which  we  refuse  to  give  to 

>claration  of  Independence,  and  the  circulation  among  the  people  of  the 
^as  and  principles  of  civil  liberty  soon  made  many  realize  the  absurdity 
:  the  black  man  in  servitude.   The  feeling  against  the  traffic  in  slaves 
le  so  strong  that  at  the  October  session  of  the  General  Assembly  1774 
.cted  that  whoever  ''shall  import  or  bring  any  indian  negro  or  molatta 
laves  into  this  Colony  to  be  disposed  of  "shall  forfeit  and  pay  to  the 
of  this  Colony  the  sum  of  one  hundred  pounds,^'  and  the  State  Assembly 
ober  session  1777  enacted  "That  if  any  owner  of  any  slave  shall  apply  to 
len  of  the  town  to  which  he  belongs  for  liberty  to  emancipate  such  slave 
the  duty  of  such  selectmen  to  enquire  into  the  age  abilities  etc  of  such 
if  they  are  of  the  opinion  that  it  is  likely  to  be  consistent  with  the  real 
of  such  slave,  and  that  it  is  probable  that  the  slave  will  be  able  to  sup- 
T  her  own  person  etc :  such  selectmen  shall  give  to  the  owner  of  such

were  the  blessed  harbingers  of  the  complete  freedom  of  the  negro  race  in  Coi

Fenn,  at  the  end  of  three  years,  he  had  faithfully  served  his  master  during  all  lii

duly  certiHed  that  in  their  opinion  Cato  had  faithfully  carried  out  his  part  of  thi 
contract  and  he  was  duly  made  free. 

But  death  was  the  only  emancipator  of  many  of  these  faithful  old  servants. 

The  pace  of  the  state,  however,  was  steadily  towards  the  freedom  of  the  slavi 
and  in  1784  it  was  enacted  that, 

"Whereas  sound  public  policy  requires  that  the  abolition  of  slavery  should  b< 
effected,  as  soon  as  may  be  consistent  with  the  rights  of  individuals  and  the  pubti<

CHAPTER  XV, 

When  Wallingford  was  a  frontier  town  of  three  or  four  hundred  inhabii 
^nd  New  England  was  ahnost  an  unbroken  wilderness,  when  a  journey  m 
Hartford  to  New  Haven  was  an  event  to  be  contemplated  with  concern,  and  j 
iorests  were  the  abode  of  wild  beasts  and  savage  Indians,  it  is  not  surprising  I 
imagination  should  have  been  active  in  conjuring  unknown  terrors  and  thst 
Itelief  in  witches,  which  from  time  immemorial  had  been  the  common  heritage 
the  people  of  all  lands,  should  have  been  particularly  prevalent  in  the  to«i| 
New  England. 

It  is  difBcuIt  in  this  age  of  wide  education  and  altruism  to  understand  thisj 
perstition,  and  still  harder  to  realize  that  Wallingford  had  its  acute  attack  of  1 
mental  phenomenon.  Hardly  any  one  is  acquainted  with  the  facts  tn  the  fid 
indeed,  the  occurrence  is  barely  mentioned  in  the  "History  of  Wallingford  i 
Meriden,"  and  even  then  the  name  of  the  accused  family  is  given  as  Denhaif 

Some  facts  relating  to  this  case  have  come  to  the  attention  of  the  writer,  i 
they  are  sufficiently  interesting  to  be  given  to  the  public.  It  is  best  to  givej 
names  as'  they  appear  in  the  records,  because  no  descendant  can  possibly  om 
to  such  a  course.  It  is  no  disgrace  to  have  had  as  an  ancestor  one  who  it-as  ^ 
pected  of  witchcraft  Three  reasons  present  themselves  as  probable  causes! 
.suspected  cases  of  witchcraft.  Sometimes  it  was  the  unconscious  homage  ^ 
stupidity  paid  to  superior  ability,  in  other  cases,  the  unfortunate  martyr  was  ^ 
a  victim  of  a  conjunction  of  circumstantial  evidence,  and,  again,  the  result  i|| 
brought  about  by  the  devious  and  tortuous  workings  of  unprincipled  and  malice 
persons.  The  unhappy  family,  which  was  the  center  of  the  witchcraft  exdte#^ 
in  Wallingford,  was  thoroughly  respectable,  and  we  can  only  conjecture  as  to« 
it  was  the  victim  of  this  morbid  superstition.  ' 

However,  the  witchcraft  trials  of  Connecticut  did  not  result  in  such  tra^ 
as  those  of  Massachusetts,  which  culminated  in  the  horrors  of  Salem  in  1692.  ] 
list  of  trials  and  executions  in  Connecticut  can  be  found  in  Orcutt*s  Htstc 
Stratford  and  Bridgeport,  p.  156.  New  Haven  County  seems  to  have  escaped 
out  one  of  these  legal  murders.  i 

Among  the  first  planters  of  Wallingford  in  1670  was  Joseph  Benham,  soe| 
John  Benham,  an  immigrant  at  Dorchester,  Mass.,  in  1630.  John  was  un<ki^ 
edly  the  ancestor  of  all  the  Benhams  in  this  part  of  the  country.  Joseph  madl

the  east  side  of  Main  street.  We  know  little  about  Joseph  in  his  relations  to  his 
nei^'hbors  and  townsmen  unlil  1691.  He  seems  then  to  have  had  some  disagfree- 
.^eni  with  the  selectmen  which  caused  him  so  far  to  foii^ci  lum.scli  ihai  he  was 
pilty  of  some  raiiicr  strong  expressions  regarding  the  fitness  of  these  gentlemen 
their  official  positions.  In  those  days,  speaking  lightly  of  dif^niitani  s  was  not 
permitted:  in  faci.  i>ur  present  free  and  easy  manner  of  criticizing  ihc  acls  of  our 
twblic  servants  would  have  been  looked  on  with  horror  aiui  as  something  not  to 
be  tolerated.  At  ihc  County  court  held  in  New  Haven  June  15,  i6<^i,  Joseph 
I^enhani  was  presented  for  trial.  It  is  better  to  let  the  records  tell  the  story  in 
Ibdr  own  quauiL  phraseology  : 

'■Joseph  Benham  of  Wallingford  presented  for  speaking  words  in  Reproach 
ig'  ye  townsmen  (selectmen)  of  Wallingford  viz^  that  they  were  noe  more  fit  for 
townsmen  than  Doggs  w*^''  was  upon  ye  last  tuesday  in  Aprill  and  was  now  proved 
^  him  in  Court  by  3  witnesses  &  ye  substance  of  ye  accusacon  confest  by  himself 
lurir^h  he  was  fined  to  pay  5®  into  ye  County  treasury  before  ye  1st  of  Nov.  next 
for  his  soe  traducing  &  vilifying  s^  townsmen." 

We  are  not  enl^htened  by  the  records  as  to  why  Joseph  so  far  forgot  himself 
as  to  make  possible  so  serious  a  charge  and  punishment  He  may  have  been  a 
taaa  of  vblent  temper,  or  he  may  have  been  provoked  beyond  endurance  by  the 
acts  and  gossip  of  his  neighbors  and  subsequent  investigations  by  the  "townsmen." 
It  is  somewhat  difficult  to-day  to  realize  the  condition  under  which  our  ancestors 
fivcd  in  these  early  Puritan  days.  To  us  now  it  would  be  intolerable.  The  or- 
ganization of  each  community  was  aptly  described  by  the  old  Puritan  gibe,  "The 
«orki  belongs  to  the  saints,  and  we  are  the  saints/'  and  woe  betide  the  poor  un* 
foftnnate  who  had  fallen  under  the  ban  of  his  fellow  church  members. 

''Coosidenitions  of  the  methods  of  interpreting  Scripture  and  of  theological 
tiKQfks  which  were  in  credit  wfll  suggest  explanatbns  of  the  morbid  vigilance" 
cxerdsed  by  every  church  association.  "In  those  days  New  England  men  meant 
as  they  professed.  Their  convictions,  covering  the  whole  length  and  breadth  of 
their  creeds,  laid  a  wide  basis  for  imagination  and  emotion."  Every  one  felt  at 
liberty  to  spy  upon  the  acts  of  his  neighbor,  and  that  this  was  thoroughly  done 
no  one  will  doubt  who  has  made  an  examination  of  early  church  records.  What 
t<Hhy  is  considered  the  act  of  a  scandalmonger  and  busybody  was  then  felt  to 
be  the  part  of  a  conscientious  man's  duty.  It  can  easily  be  imagined  that  life  in 
such  a  community  was  not  pleasant  They  were  a  sturdy  lot,  and  thoroughly  lived 
up  to  their  lights. 

The  next  appearance  of  Joseph  and  his  family  was  under  decidedly  distress- 
ing drcumstances.  Of  course,  we  cannot  tell  whether  this  situation  was  the  re- 
mit of  underhanded  work  of  malicious  persons,  or  simply  an  explosion  of  the

pent-up  emotions  and  niorbiil  imaginations  of  persons  sincerely  believing  vM 
they  reported.    Let  us  again  turn  to  the  records:  ^ 

"At  a  meeting  oi  yc  authority  of  New  Haven,  25th  of  July.  i(nj2, 
Joseph  Benham  of  Wallingford  appeared  according  to  summons  before  ] 
Authority  this  day  And  being  Examined  upon  Complaint  and  evidence  bei| 
brought  ag^  him  that  he  had  lately  threatened  to  charge  his  gun  with  two  Btilli 
&  shoot  Goody  Parker  if  she  come  into  his  house  about  such  matters  or  things  npi 
w^*>  examination  he  ye  s^  Benham  Confest  ye  s^  threatning  words  in     being- 1 
he     provoked  by  ye  s^  Parkers  casting  some  refleccons  (in  her  speech)  aba 
witchcraft  upon  his  wife  yet  not  intending  mischiefe  to  s^  Parker  &  blaming  hii 
self  for  his  passion  &  such  threatning  expressions.   The  authority  having  col 
sidered  ye  case  &  finding  (besides  his  p^  Confession)  ye  s^  threatnii^  cleajj 
proved  by  2  witnesses  viz^  Sarah  How  Sen''  &  Abigaile  Atwater  did  order  ye  J 
Joseph  Benham  to  acknowledge  him  selfe  &  his  estate  bound  in  a  Recogntrance  | 
50^  to  ye  County  treasury  that  he  shall  keepe  ye  kings  peace  towards  all  the 
Mag^*^*  Subjects  £speciall\'  ye     Joseph  Parker  &  Hannah  his  wife  &  theire  fa 
ily.   And  his  s^  Recognizance  to  stand  good  ag^  him  unttll  November  Conn

in  y«  meane  tymc  to  pa)  just  fees  for  y«  psecution/' 

Evidently  Joseph  did  not  relish  the  conscientious  motives  of  his  neighbors 
seeking  to  show  that  his  wife  was  in  league  with  the  devil  and  guilty  of  the  ni< 
strous  crime  of  witchcraft.  Conscious  of  her  innocence  and  resenting  this  pi 
ing  into  his  domestic  affairs,  we  can  easily  understand  the  wrath  of  1 
outraged  husband  and  his  desire  to  plant  two  bullets  in  the  body  of  the  over-anxic 
Goody  Parker.  This  Joseph  Parker  (whose  wife  was  Hannah  Gilbert)  «as 
son  of  William  Parker,  of  Saybrook,  ancestor  of  all  the  Parkers  in  this  vicini 

But  the  gossip  regarding  Winifred  Benham  had  now  grown  to  the  proporti 
of  a  great  scandal,  and  was  the  subject  of  anxious  solicitude  to  Rev.  Mr.  Stre 
pastor  of  the  Wallingford  church,  who,  no  doubt,  was  greatly  disturbed  to  tH 
the  devil  had  gained  possession  of  the  body  and  soul  of  one  of  his  flock.  At  t 
same  court,  viz.  25  July,  1692: 

"The  Rev**  Mr.  Street  appeared  before  Authority  &  he  &  Mrs.  Street,  D»o 
Hall  &  Good\'  Parker  niencone<l  many  pcular  things  as  grounds  of  suspicioti 
Witch  Craft  reflecting  upon  Goody  \\'inifred  Benham  then  alsoe  psent  whereoii

Dctubtless  the  time  until  the  Xnvcmber  session  of  the  court  was  auxiuui.ly  spent 
the  iicnhain  family.  The  vviiole  of  Xcw  luigland  was  stirred  up  by  the  ter-

CHAPTER  XVI. 

Meridex  and  Wallingford  in  the  Wars.  I 

I 

KING  PHILIP'S  WAR. 

Walliiigford's  share  in  The  IncHan  W  ar  of  1675-6.  coniiiioiily  called  Km 
Phihp's.  was  doubtless  thrilling:  to  the  inhabitants  even  though  it  was  not  siitli 
ciently  stirring:  to  gain  a  notice  on  the  record?;  of  tlie  colony.  The  actual  war  1*1 
gan  in  an  attack  by  the  Indians  on  the  town  ot  Swansea  in  Massachusctt*^.  ij) 
west  of  Fall  River,  on  June  20,  1675.  Troops  were  immediately  raised  in  Iki 
ton  and  IMMiioiiih  anrl  sent  against  the  Indians,  and  Depni\  O>vernor  Leete  4j 
Connecticut  sent  men  to  ."^innitiglnn  to  defend  that  part  of  the  country 

As  towns  were  sacked,  inhabitants  butchered,  and  disasters  muinpliel  tli 
alarm  throuirh  the  New  I'njLjiand  colonies  soon  became  general.  How  mieui 
the  feeling  was  may  be  gathered  from  the  following  statement  in  Trmiibull's  Hi 
torv  of  Connecticut: 

w 

'*As  the  Indians  had  lived  promiscuously  with  the  English  in  all  parts  of  il 
country,  they  were  generally  as  well  acquainted  with  their  dwellings,  fields  ai 
places  of  worship  as  themselves.  They  were  perfectly  acquainted  with  the  roaii 
times  and  places  of  resort  They  were  at  hand  to  watch  all  their  motions,  to  A 
tack  them  at  every  difficult  pass  and  in  every  unguarded  moment.  Except  sodj 
of  the  thickest  settlements  and  the  center  of  the  towns,  the  countr>-  was  a  \ii 
wilderness.  This  enabled  the  enemy,  not  only  in  small  skulking  parties,  but  1 
great  bodies,  to  make  their  approaches  undiscovered,  almost  to  the  very  midst  0 
them:  and. under  cover  of  the  night  to  creep  into  their  bams,  gardens  and  out 
houses,  to  conceal  themselves  behind  their  fences,  and  lie  in  wait  for  them  on  ih 
roads  and  in  their  fields.  Sometimes  they  concealed  themselves  before  their  v^, 
doors.  No  sooner  did  they  open  them  in  the  morning  than  they  were  instand 
shot  dead.  While  the  English  were  hunting  them  in  one  place  they  would  li 
sla\  ing  the  inhabitants  and  plundering  and  burning  in  another.*' 

Although  the  towns  in  Connecticut  did  not  suffer  from  attacks  owing  to  tl 
friendly  attiiiule  of  the  Indians  of  this  colony  there  was  no  telling  how  soon  til 
wily  King  Thili])  would  win  them  over  by  his  arts  and  blandishments,  and  ih 
towns  of  Connecticut  knew  not  how  soon  the  hurricane  that  had  broken  loo^e  i 
Massachusetts  would  sweep  into  this  vicinity.

During  the  latter  part  of  1676  all  danger  from  the  Indian  insurrection  bcinj

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


FRENCH  AND  INDIAN  WARS. 

During  the  scries  of  campaigns  bcgiiming  in  1755  and  ending  in  1762,  amh 
xnotily  known  as  the  b>ench  and  Indian  Wars,  Wallingford  seems  to  have  beci 
represented,  although  to  what  extent  it  is  impossible  to  state. 

A  number  of  muster  and  pay  rolls,  which  narrowly  escaped  the  junk  dcaiti 
and  destruction,  have  been  printed  in  Volumes  iX.  and  X.  oi  the  Connecticut  Hift* 
torical  Society  collections. 

These  rolls,  although  of  course  very  incomplete,  and  a  £ew  entries  on  the  Wal- 
lingford death  records,  furnish  all  the  information  we  have  relating  to  the  partici^ 
pation  of  men  in  this  vicinity,  in  these  very  important  wars,  which  sealed  the  dt-*- 
tiny  of  this  continent  so  far  as  the  influence  of  France  was  concerned,  for  at  the 
close  of  this  struggle  it  was  settled,  once  and  for  all.  that  the  English  speakiog 
races  were  to  be  the  masters  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific. 

In  the  muster  roll  of  a  company  under  the  command  of  Col.  Elihu  Chauncey, 
of  Durham,  in  the  year  1755  appear  the  following  unmistakable  Wallingford,  Mer- 
iden  and  Cheshire  names:'

The  colc»nies  won  a  rather  barren  victory  at  Lake  (ieorge  on  September  8ih 
and  two  Wallingford  men  met  a  hard  fate  in  the  field.  Abijah  Ives,  Jr.,  in  Major 
Isaac  Foot's  Comj)any,  lost  an  arm  in  the  battle*^  and  James,  the  son  of  Evan  Rovs^

EARLY  UISTORV, 


Xo  names  of  Wallingford  men  can  be  found  in  the  rolls  of  1756,  but  in  the 
Campaign  of  1757,  Ephraira  Preston,^  of  Wallingford,  was  made  captain  in  Col. 
Lyman's  Regiment  and  we  find  the  following  representatives  of  Wallingford  or 
Meriden  families  in  his  command: 

Ebenezer  I'rindle  Levi  Muiison 

He/ck'^  I>m-ket         .  Ichabod  Stark

These  men  were  in  service  from  eight  to  nine  months  and  probably  were  in 
Fort  William  Henry  on  Lake  George,  under  the  command  of  CoL  Monroe, 
«ho  was  forced  to  surrender  by  the  Marquis  Montcalm  on  August  9th,  for  one 
member  of  the  company,  Israel  Calkins,  was  carried  a  prisoner  to  France.^

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


September  13,  Br.  Jesse  Lewis  died  in  camp  October  20  and  Benjamin  Cook  died 
in  the  government  service  at  Stillwater,  N.  Y.,  on  October  28.  In  the  same  cam- 
paign Caleb  Atwater  was  injured  in  Rogers'  fight  August  8th,*  and  Abner  Curtis 
was  in  a  Sotithtngton  company  under  Captain  Lewis. 

In  the  campaign  of  1759  the  following  Meriden  men  served  in  a  company  un- 
der Captain  Amos  Hitchcock,  of  New  Haven ;  Abner  Curtis,  ensign ;  Nathaniel 
Yale,  corporal;  Ephraim  Berry,  Benjamin  Curtis,  Benjamin  Rcxford,  Samuel 
Rovce  and  Ichabod  Stark.^ 

Winfield  S.  Curtis,  of  Meriden,  a  descendant  of  Abner  Curtis,  has  in  his  pos- 
session an  old  powder  horn  bearing  this  inscription :  '*£nsign  Abner  Curtiss  s'  Horn 
made  at  Crown  point  Sept  26  1759."  He  was  made  ensign  of  7th  company  in 
regiment  of  foot  commanded  by  Nathan  Whiting  colonel  Mar.  22,  1759  and  2d 
lieutenant  of  same  regiment  Mar.  24,  1760,  according  to  commissions  preserved 
with  the  powder  horn.  The  Wallingford  records  tell  us  that  Moses  Doolittlc  died 
at  Lake  George  Nov.  13,  1759.  In  the  campaign  of  1760,  Abner  Curtis  was  second 
lieutenant  of  Captain  Hitchcock's  company,  and  with  him  were  Abraham  Hall, 
Ephraim  Berry  and  AniluKsc  London,  of  Meriden  and  Wallingford. and  in  a 
Southini^^ton  company  under  Captain  Clark  were  llenjamin  Culver,  first  lieutenant, 
Daniel  Hall  and  Michael  Mitchell  and  probably  Ebenezer  Prindle,  of  Meriden  and 
Wallingford.^ 

In  the  campaign  of  1761  Ebenezer  Prindle  and  Waitstill  Yale,  of  Meriden 
served  in  Captain  hitch's  company  and  in  Captain  Hitchcock's  company  served 
Samuel  and  William  Andrews  and  Abraham  Hall^  of  Meriden.  In  the  roll  of 
the  company  it  is  stated  that  the  latter  man  died  on  Sept.  17,  and  this  statement 
is  confirmed  by  the  Wallingford  death  records. 

In  the  campaign  of  1758  a  number  of  Meriflcn  nnd  Wallingford  men  were 
engaged  in  transporting  supplies  to  the  army  at  Lake  George.  In  the  issue  of 
the  Connecticut  (iazettc  of  Dec.  30  that  year  appears  a  communication  reading, 
"whereas  there  has  been  a  great  number  of  teams  employed  in  his  Majestys  ser- 
vice to  the  northward  in  carting,  and  it  appears  that  the  contractors  intend  that 
the  owners  t)f  the  teams  shall  pay  for  all  the  Indian  corn  and  forage  that  they  had

letter  then  says  that  a  man  has  been  sent  to  Albany  to  find  out  what  can  l>e  done 
and  that  all  must  act  together,  and  ai»i»(»intini^  a  meeting  of  the  owners  nu  January

The  next  meeting;  was  called  for  February  7  at  Mr,  Kubinson's  tavern  in  Mer- 
i<kn.    \\  hat  was  the  outcome  docs  not  appear. 

REVOLUTIONARY  WAR. 

T!icse  various  cami)aigns  of  the  French  and  Indian  War,  in  which  the  Amer- 
ican j  cuplc  had  played  so  glorious  a  part,  taught  them  their  strength  as  a  military 
torce,  trained  officers  and  men  in  the  game  of  war,  and  made  them  begin  to  real- 
ize, dimly  perhaps,  the  manifest  destiny  that  the  future  had  in  store  for  the  Amer- 
ican people. 

Both  England  and  the  colonies  had  gone  to  great  expense  in  prosecuting  these 
campaigns,  and  although  the  Americans  were  already  saddled  with  a  great  debt^ 
England  was  determined  to  get  their  aid  in  assisting  her  to  pay  for  a  war,  which, 
as  her  statesmen  said,  was  waged  purely  for  the  benefit  of  the  colonies.  Conse- 
quently the  stamp  act  was  passed,  and  every  one  knows  with  what  fury  the  news 
was  received  in  this  country. 

Before  the  colonies  knew  that  the  obnoxious  law  had  been  repealed  Walling- 
ford  freemen  met  in  town  meeting  on  January  13,  1766,  and  voted  the  following 
ringing  preamble  and  resolution : 

''Whereas  it  appears  from  ancient  Records  and  other  Memorials  of  incontesta- 
ble Validity  that  our  Ancestors  with  a  great  Sum  purchased  said  Township  at  their 
own  Expense,  planted  with  great  Peril,  possessed  and  defended  the  same :  (and  we 
were  free  bom)  having  never  been  in  Bondage  to  any ;  an  Inheritance  of  inesti- 
mable Value. 

Voted  and  Agreed^  that  if  any  of  said  Inhabitants  shall  introduce,  use,  or  im- 
prove any  stampt  vellum,  parchment  or  Paper,  for  whicli  Tax  or  Tribute  is  or 
may  be  demandable,  such  Person  or  Persons  shall  incur  the  Penalty  of  20* — to 

recovered  by  the  Selectmen  of  said  Town  for  the  Time  being,  for  the  use  of 
the  Poor  of  said  Town. 

This  order  to  continue  in  Force  until  the  next  meeting  of  said  Inhabitants  in 
Town  meeting." 

This  act  was  one  of  rebellion  and  independence ;  it  was  not  like  a  riot,  wliere 
the  body  politic  can  plead  non -participation :  it  was  the  solemn  vote  of  the  free- 
men in  town  meeting  assembled. 

That  this  was  a  mucli  bolder  note  than  was  sounded  by  any  other  town  of  the 
colony  at  that  time  seems  certain,  for  Bancroft  mentions  it  in  his  History  of  the

United  States^  in  a  way  that  shows  he  thought  it  deserving  of  special  notice,  and 
the  press  of  the  period  spread  it  broadcast  through  this  and  neighboring  colonies. 

The  obnoxious  act  was  repealed  in  January,  1766.  That  a  second  one  should 
have  been  voted  by  Parliament  in  1767  seems  like  the  act  of  insane  men  and  almost 
justifies  a  belief  in  the  old  saying:  ''Whom  the  Gods  would  destroy  they  first 
make  mad." 

The  rapid  succession  of  events  which  followed,  intensifiecl  the  excitement  and 
ripened  the  American  people  for  armed  resistance  and  independence.  The  "Bos- 
ton Harbor  tea  party/'  the  Massj^chusotts  Act  and  Boston  Port  Bill  w  ere  fitting 
preludes  to  the  coniinLr  drama,  and  at  last  the  mutterings  of  the  great  Revolution 
bc.^an  to  be  heard.  What  had  been  but  a  little  fleck  in  the  sky  now  overcast  the 
whole  heavens  and  sorrow  and  anxiety  filled  the  hearts  of  all. 

Meetings  and  resolutions  agitated  the  \vh(^le  American  people  and  W'allingford 
was  no  exception  to  the  rule  and  the  following  letter  w  hich  a|)peared  in  the  Con-

in  this  community. 

"WaUingford  Sept  i  1774 
Although  there  are  too  many  among  us  of  tory  principals ;  yet  there  arc  God 
be  thanked  not  a  feic  true  sons  of  Constitutional  liberty.  As  a  demonstration  of 
this  about  an  hundred  of  these  respectable  gentlemen  did  on  Monday  last  as  a 
public  proof  of  their  sentiments  and  patriotic  resolutions  at  an  elm  tree  in  this 
town  sacred  to  liberty  erect  a  Liberty  Pole  an  hundred  and  ten  feet  high :  on 
which  they  have  this  day  hoisted  a  pendant  bearinj^  Liberty  and  underneath  the 
British  I'nion  l  lag  bearinj^^  the  words  The  Co>i::^ress  in  honor  of  the  q^eneral  Con-

At  ten  o'clock  on  the  night  of  April  18,  1775,  Paul  Revere  stands  waiting  on 
the  Oiarlestown  shore  watching  the  belfry  of  the  old  North  church  in  Bos- 
ton, to  learn  by  a  prearranged  signal  if  the  British  troops  are  to  leave  Boston 
^hat  night  in  an  expedition  to  seize  Adams  and  Hancock  at  Lexington.  At  last 
ihe  lights  are  hung  out,  the  signal  is  given,  and  into  the  blackness  of  the  night 
Paul  Revere  spurs  his  steed  on  that  immortal  ride.  The  alarm  is  given  and  all

The  news  of  the  day  at  Lexington  and  Concord  spreads  like  wildfire  through 
the  cok)nies.  Patriots  hesitate  no  more  and  ardent*  eager  men  go  hurrying  to-

The  Alciidcn  men  were  out  only  seven  days,  hardly  time  tn  21:0  to  Bosiuii  and 
return.  They  doubtless  received  notice  while  on  the  marcii  .li  t  iheir  service- 
were  not  needed.  The  news  nt  tlie  ilattle  of  Concord  reached  \\  aihngford  by  noon, 
on  Friday,  the  Jist  of  April,  and  the  companies  set  out  on  the  expedition  on  the  23rd 
and  24th.  James  Lockwood  writing  from  \\  allingford  under  date  of  April  J4lh. 
says:  "Col.  Wadsworth  was  over  at  this  place  most  of  yesterday  and  has  ordered 
twenty  men  out  of  each  company  of  his  Regiment,  some  of  which  had  already  set 
off  and  others  go  this  morning  *****  Jiie  country  beyond  here  are 
all  gone."*  Samuel  Kilboum  rendered  an  account  for  ferrying  "across  Connec- 
ticut River  at  Hartford"  in  the  Lexington  alarm  Capt.  Couch,  of  Meriden,  with 
18  men,  4  horses  and  i  waggon  *   Also  Lupt.  Cook  of  Wallingford.

EARLY  HISTORY. 


271 


Shortly  after  the  alarm  the  Legislature  issued  the  first  call  for  troops.  The 
reginiciil  was  recruited  in  Xew  Haven  county  and  about  Sept.  28  it  marched  to 
the  Xorthern  Department  and  took  part  in  operations  along  Lakes  George  and 
iliamplain  under  General  Schuyler. 

Captain  Isaac  Cook,  of  VVallingford,  was  in  this  campaign  and  in  his  com^ 
pany  were  the  following  Meriden  men  who  had  been  in  Capt.  Couch*s  company 
doring  the  Lexington  alann : 


John  Hough,  ist  Lieut.  Isaac  Livingston 

Samuel  Hall,  Sergt.  Phineas  Lyman 

Israel  Hall  Moses  Ha}i 

Gideon  Rice  Rufus  Hall 

John  Pierce  •  Jared  Benham 


In  the  Siege  of  Boston,  which  took  place  after  the  Battle  of  Bunker  Hill,  there 
were  certainly  Meriden  men  engaged,  although  the  only  official  record  of  service 
is  that  of  Captain  John  Couch.^  Doubtless,  several  of  the  compan>  he  commanded 
at  the  time  of  the  Lexington  Alarm  were  with  him  before  Boston.  He  was  in 
Col.  Wadsworth*s  regiment  which  reached  there  towards  the  end  of  Januarv ,  1776. 
The  names  of  only  two  men  in  Capt.  Couch's  Conipanx-  have  come  down  to  us  in 
a  trustworthy  form.  Among  the  papers  in  the  Oliver  Rice  homestead  is  a  letter 
written  by  Ezekiel  Rice  when  in  camp  at  Roxbury  in  the  early  part  of  that  year. 
The  letter  mentions  the  name  of  another  Meriden  man  as  with  him,  viz.  Samuel 
Scovil. 

'These  lines  to  my  family  and  all  friends,  wishing  them  health  as  through  the 
goodness  of  God  I  enjoi  at  present  except  a  Bad  Cold  but  not  sick.  Our  people

the  General  to  try  for  there  gard.  I  cmcdietly  went  the  Rounds  to  the  Sentry  and 
told  them  and  in  Half  an  Hour  from  that  time  he  with  ten  men  took  of  there  ad-

way  that  their  Relief  come  and  they  thought  it  Relief  for  them  till  he  demanded 
their  armes ;  they  are  sent  to  Head  Quarters :  the  same  night  between  one  and  two

work  which  I  Did  and  told  them  to  be  still  and  I  would  go  and  see  if  the  Regelers 
had  set  their  Sentry  again,  when  I  went  under  the  covert  of  a  fence  within  about 
12  or  15  Rods  of  their  Lines  where  I  staid  about  a  quarter  of  an  -hour  and  could 
here  nor  see  nothing :  I  went  to  the  chimneys  where  their  Station  was  but  there  was 
no  gard  their  that  night:  the  above  was  their  advance  gard.  We  expect  to  go  on 
to  Dojesters  pint  very  soon  and  there  an  action  will  come  on  I  expect.  We  have

EARLY  HISTORY.  273 

But  there  are  two  letters  in  existence  that  prove  this :  one  was  written  just 
before  the  battle  of  Long  Island  which  occurred  Aug.  27,  1776.   It  is  as  follows: 

*'Ncw  York,  August  24th,  A.  D.,  1776

{'lit  the  Continental  troops  did  not  win  and  the  army  was  compelled  to  move 
lit  of  \ew  York.    The  next  two  letters  were  written  by  Ezekiel  Rice,  and  evi-

John  Couch  was  in  a  British  prison  on  Long  Island  for  some  time  after  this 
capture.  In  the  State  Library  at  Hartford  in  Revolutionar>'  War  documents,  \  ol. 
XIL,  pp.  130-181,  are  preserved  various  receipts  for  money  conveyed  by  the  state 
to  men  in  prison  on  Long  Island,  1777.  John  Couch's  name  is  among  the  num- 
ber oi  those  signing.  He  evidently  gained  his  freedom  during  the  year,  lor  !ic 
appears  as  captain  of  a  company  in  a  militia  regiment  ordered  to  Peekskiil  in 
1777.    His  name  does  not  ai^ain  occur  among  the  records. 

Lsaac  Hall,  Jr.,  son  oi  JJr.  Isaac  Hall.  ua>  apparently  captain  of  a  company 
of  nulitia  which  was  in  1776  attached  to  a  regiment  of  Light  Iriorsc.  In  1777  he 
was  in  service  in  Xew  York  and  "parts  adjacent,"  and  in  1779,  according  to  some 
old  military  papers  found  in  the  W  allingford  town  vault  within  recent  years,  men 
were  detached  from  Ci\\n.  Isaac  IlalTs  company  to  go  to  Greenwich,  and  hih  name 
appears  in  the  roll  of  those  companies  doing  service  in  the  Tryon  invasion  of  New 
Haven,  1779. 

Divan  Ikrry  was  second  lieutenant  of  a  company  in  Bradley's  battalion.  Wads 
worth's  Brigade,  and  was  at  Fort  Washington  but  it  does  nut  appear  that  he  wa> 
captured.  From  July  to  November,  1776,  he  was  second  lieutenant  in  Prentice's 
comjiany  and  was  at  Ticonderoga  under  General  ( iates.  In  the  year  1779  he  was 
a  captain  under  Major  Smith's  command,  and  was  on  coast  guard  duty  at  Ilor-^e- 
ncck  near  Greenwich  this  state,  during  the  time  of  the  ilntish  ex])edition  up  the 
Sound  under  Tryon.    In  1780  he  was  a  captain  in  the  17th  regiment. 

John  lluugh  was  a  lieutenant  iu  Capt.  Isaac  ( Ook's  Company.  On  Sept.  28J 
1775.  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  the  Northern  Department  under  General  SchuyJ 
ler  and  was  engaged  in  operations,  along  Lakes  George  and  Chaiiiplam.  They 
assisted  in  the  lednctiuu  of  St.  John  and  were  stationed  for  a  while  at  Montreal. 
Many  se'hliers  in  this  company  became  sick  and  were  nuistered  out  Oct. -Nov. 
John  Hough  was  also  in  Captain  Hammond's  cumpany.  Third  battalion,  imder  Col-J 
onels  Spencer  and  Wooster  in  1776  and  1777,  which  did  service  in  this  state.  In 
October,  1777,  he  was  in  Colonel  Baldwin^s  regiment  ordered  to  Fishkill.  In 
1779  he  was  a  captain  in  a  company  that  served  during  the  Tryon  invasion  andi 
in  1780  he  was  captain  in  the  Seventh  militia  regiment. 

Asaph  Merriam  enlisted  in  the  Sixth  Connecticut  regiment  on  April  24.  1777, 
and  served  three  years  and  was  made  a  pensioner  in  1832.  He  was  in  Captain!

outpost  duty  on  the  line  above  Kings  Bridge.  It  served  in  Aug.-Oct.  on  the  Hud* 
son,  in  Parsons  Brigade,  under  Putnam,  and  engaged  in  all  movements  made  in 
onsequence  of  enemy's  move  against  Fort  Montgomery.  It  wintered  '77''78  at 
West  Point,  and  assisted  tn  constructing  permanent  fortifications,  etc.  In  oper- 
ations of  1779  it  served  with  Connecticut  division  on  east  side  of  Hudson,  and 
perinps  engaged  at  storming  of  Stony  Point  July  15,  *7g.  On  discovery  of  Ar- 
Dolds  treason,  it  was  ordered  to  West  Point  in  anticipation  of  advance  of  the 
oemy."  Lieut.  Joseph  Shaylor  was  witii  this  regiment. 

Chatham  Freeman,  the  slave  of  Noah  Yale,  who  earned  his  freedom  by  serv- 
ing in  the  room  of  his  master  during  the  war,  was  in  this  regiment  for  three 
^tais.  He  was  made  a  pensioner  in  1818.  Others  who  served  in  this  regiment 
vere  Moses,  Rufus,  and  Jonathan  Hall,  Levi  Robinson^  and  Joseph  Cohan. 

In  the  month  of  October,  1777,  Lieut.  Colonel  Baldwin's  regiment  of  militia 
ns  ordered  to  the  Hudson  at  Fishkill  to  aid  the  Continental  army.  They  were 
<»t  perhaps  thirty  days,  and  probably  saw  no  active  service.  In  the  regiment 
^ere  these  Meriden  officers,,  viz.  Capt.  Bezaleel  Ives,  Lieut.  John  Hough  and 
CapL  Dan  Collins. 

The  following  accounts  of  service  by  various  Meriden  men  have  been  ex- 
:  tractcd  from  Record  of  Connecticut  Men  in  the  Revolution : 

.^bner  Andrews  was  in  the  5th  Regiment  and  served  3  years  and  was  most  of 
die  time  stationed  on  or  near  the  Hudson  river. 

I^mberton  Clark  is  mentioned  by  Mr.  Perkins  as  among  the  men  from  Mer- 
iden who  served,  but  he  enlisted  in  Middletown  and  did  not  move  to  Meriden 
until  some  time  after  peace  was  declared :  he  was  drujiimer  in  Col.  Sherburne's 
r^^ment,  and  also  served  with  Capt.  Heart  in  the  ist  regiment. 

Benjamin  Rexford  was  in  Capt.  Leavenworth's  ompany  in  the  6th  regiment 
for  3  years  and  saw  most  of  his  ser\'icc  near  the  Hudson. 

Edmund  Merriam  was  a  corporal  in  Capt.  Robertson's  company  in  the  2d  reg- 
iment and  also  in  the  4th  regiment :  he  was  stationed  at  W'cst  Point  in  1783. 

David  Rol)orts,  a  pensioner  in  1818,  was  in  Capt.  Shepherd's  company  in  Gen- 
eral Wolcott's  brigade  at  Peekskill  in  1777.  and  was  also  in  Capt.  Johnson's  com- 
{■any.  W'adsworth's  brigade  at  Fort  Washington  in  *j6,  and  was  made  prisoner: 
^  residence  was  in  Middletown.  however,  until  after  the  Revolution. 

Jnthnm  Hall,  a  pensioner  in  1818,  served  in  Capt.  Richards  company,  2d  Reg- 
iffient,  and  was  in  General  Lafayette's  army  at  the  siege  of  Yorktown. 

James  Baldwin,  at  the  time  a  resident  of  Cheshire,  was  in  Capt.  Barnes'  com- 
p^ny,  militia  refi:inK'iit.  ijyj,  enlisted  in  Capt,  Sizer's  company  in  a  regiment  of 
artificers,  1778.  and  was  at  P>raii<l\  wine.  Germantown.  Mniimouth  and  elsewhere,

278  A  CEN'TURV  OF  MBRIDEX. 

Ephratm  Merriam  was  a  fifer  all  through  the  war  and  was  with  Capt, 
company  when  Ft.  Washington  was  captured  in  1776:  but  the  records  do  not 
that  he  was  made  prisoner :  he  was  in  Capt.  Barker's  company  under  Lafayette 
the  siege  of  Yorktown  and  in  Capt.  Potter's  company,  2d  regiment,  at  West 
in  1783.   He  was  a  pensioner  in  18 18. 

Isaac  Atwater,  a  boy  of  sixteen,  was  in  the  campaign  around  New  Yorfc 

1776  and  retreated  with  the  army  to  Harlem  and  White  Plains. 

Josiah  Merriam  was  in  the  first  troop  of  .Col.  Sheldon's  Light  Dragoons  fn 

1777  to  1783,  and  saw  service  at  Germantown  and  under  Gates  against  Burgon 
David  Hall,  a  pensioner  in  1818,  was  in  Capt  Edwards*  company  in  Col.  ¥ 

terbury*s  regiment  on  sea  coast  duty  in  1781,  but  began  his  military  career 
Capt.  Couch's  company  and  was  at  Fort  Washington  in  1776  but  according 
records  was  not  made  a  prisoner.  In  1777  he  enlisted  in  Captain  Leavenwora 
company  of  Sixth  regiment  and  served  three  years. 

Joash  Hall  was  in  the  Danbury  Raid  April,  1777 ;  his  horse  was  killed  imj 
him,  for  which  the  state  reimbursed  him.  | 

Abner  Rice  was  in  Captain  Couch's  company  and  was  with  the  commasxij 
Fort  Washington  but  evidently  not  taken  prisoner. 

Samuel  Rice  was  paid  a  bounty  by  Wallingford  to  serve  in  1781. 

Black  Boss,  a  negro  slave  of  Abel  Curtis,  is  stated  in  Perkins*  Histor 
Sketches,  to  have  been  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution :  on  a  roll  or  report  of  the  t«i 
of  Wallingford  1779  in  the  State  Library,  appears  the  name  of  Boston  negro,  n 
to  the  name  of  Chatham  negro. 

Archelaus  Allen,  a  soldier  in  the  Lexington  alarm,  and  afterwards  in  Ci 
Street  Hall's  company  in  the  7th  regiment,  is  generally  accounted  a  Meriden  1 
dier  in  the  Revolution,  but  he  did  not  move  from  the  1st  society  to  Meriden  11 
after  the  war.  He  was  the  grandfather  of  the  late  Deacon  E.  C.  Allen,  of  M 
den,  and  the  late  John  Allen,  of  Saybrook. 

Ebenezer  and  Joel  Cole  were  both  in  Capt.  Couch's  company  in  1776 
probably  they  were  the  Meriden  men  whose  Christian  names  were  the  same 
whose  surname  was  Cowles. 

Xathaniel  Douglas,  Justus  Rice,  Joel  Hall  and  Thomas  Spencer  were  in  C 
Couch's  company  but,  according  to  the  records,  were  not  captured. 

Solomon  Rice,  who  was  also  in  this  company,  shared  the  fate  of  Capt  Cn 
and  for  some  time  languished  in  a  British  prison  on  Long  Island. 

Samuel  Collins  was  first  a  musician  and  later  a  sergeant  in  Conn.  Line  ff 
1777  to  1 78 1  and  went  south  to  Yorktown  under  Gen.  Lafayette. 

Phineas  Hough  was  a  corporal  in  Capt.  Russell's  Company,  Wadsworth'f  I 
gade,  and  died  in  the  army  August  i,  1776,  just  after  being  promoted

cars  in  1777.  Isaac  Rice  was  at  W  est  i'uint  in  1781  in  militia  reginient  and  Jothani 
Rice  was  at  \'orktown  in  Lafayette  s  army  in  1783. 

No  doubt  other  Meridcn  men  saw  service  in  the  Continental  army,  but  their 
vkims  in  the  official  reconl>.  if  tlKic  they  occur,  cannot  he  positively  identified  as 
^don^rincr  t<>  men  from  tliih  vicinity.  The  lack  of  a  middle  name,  an  almost  uni- 
versal cii>i<'iii  at  the  time,  and  the  failure  to  give  the  addresses  of  the  great  ma- 
rity  of  the  soldiers  in  the  records,  makes  it  generally  unwise  to  assume  an  ad- 
■Iress. 

The  PiHtish  expedition  up  the  Sound,  under  (leneral  Tryon,  came  to  anchor 

Xcvv  Uaveii  harbor  about  midnight  on  Sunday,  July  4,  1779.  No  doubt  l)eacon 
rri-s  and  sctirrying  horsemen  soon  carried  the  new  s  throngli  the  surrotinditif^  eoun- 
■!■}.  aful  probably  by  daybreak  of  the  5th.  the  various  luibtia  eoinj)anies  in  this  and 
ailioining  parts  of  the  state  were  on  the  iiuoch  for  \eu  Haven. 

The  British  trm^ps,  about  3.000  strong,  were  landed  al  daylireak  on  tlie  cast 
and  west  shores,  and  New  Haven  was  soon  in  possession  of  the  enein\ ,  and  .several 
buildings  were  fired,  a  number  of  people  killed  and  numerous  outrages  committed. 
On  the  East  Haven  side  there  were  many  encounters  with  the  local  militia  and 
sharp  fighthig  a  good  part  of  the  day. 

The  swiftly  gathering  companies  from  up  the  state  soon  convinced  the  British 
that  their  positioti  was  untenable  and  on  the  evening  of  the  6th  they  endiarked  and 
wt  sail  for  Kew  York,  stopping  on  the  way  at  Fairfield  and  Xorwalk,  where  they 
committed  greater  devastation  and  havoc  than  at  New  Haven. 

From  Meriden  two  companies  and  from  Wallingford  one,  marched  to  New 
Haven»  probably  starting  on  the  morning  of  Jul>  5th.  The  rolls  of  these  com-

The  writer's  lack  of  familiarity  with  the  names  of  those  resident  in  Walling- 
ford  and  Cliesliire  makes  it  impossible  for  him  tu  fully  treat  the  Revolutionary  rec- 
ord of  soldiers  from  those  towns  as  he  lia<  tried  to  give  those  from  Meriden.  The 
names  of  the  ofticers,  however,  arc  so  conspjcuous  in  the  records  that  it  is  an  eas^' 
task  to  give  a  brief  record  of  each. 

Colonel  Thaddciis  Hall  was  certainly  the  most  prominent  military  official  in 
\Val!inc:for<l  during  the  war.  He  was  born  in  1728  so  tliat  lie  was  not  a  y  nnig 
i:ian  when  hostilities  began.  He  served  under  Washington  in  the  campaign  of 
1776  and  then  bore  the  title  of  major.  He  was  stationed  at  first  near  Fort  Lee 
and  then  at  Wiiite  Plains  and  later  took  part  in  the  battles  of  Trenton  and  Prince- 
ton. He  was  made  a  colonel  in  (  )clol)er.  177').  I  le  took  i)art  in  the  battle  of  Still- 
water September  19,  1777.  and  was  under  General  Gates  in  liis  campaign  against 
Burgoyne  to  the  northward. 

Lieuteiiani  C  olonel  Street  nail  received  his  commission  July  6,  1773,  and  was 
also  appointed  captain  of  the  Second  company:  on  Sept.  14.  1775,  Washington  or- 
dered the  regiment  to  Boston,  and  he  served  there  until  December  tliat  year.  It 
(loes  not  appear  that  he  saw  other  service,  although  possibly  he  was  in  Colonel 
Charles  Webb's  regiment  at  White  Plains,  Trenton  and  Princeton  in  1776  and 

■///' 

Lieutenant  Colonel  Isaac  Cook,  who  had  charge  of  a  company  in  the  Lexing- 
ton alarm,  was  also  captain  of  the  Seventh  company  in  General  Wooster's  regi- 
ment in  1775,  and  first  was  stationed  at  Harlem  and  Long  Island  and  later  marched 
to  General  Schuyler^s  department  and  took  part  in  operations  around  Lakes  George 
and  Champlain,  and  afterwards  was  stationed  at  Montreal.  He  was  appointed 
maior  January  10,  1780,  and  in  June,  1783,  he  was  promoted  to  lieutenant  colonel.

As  the  first  enthusiasm  of  the  war  wore  away  it  was  found  necessary  to  make 
an  inducement  for  men  to  join  the  army;  accordingly  on  March  31,  1777,  it  was 
"voted,  that  the  town  will  give  a  Bounty  to  those  that  engage  in  the  Continental 
service.  Voted  that  eacli  soldier  that  engages  in  the  Continental  service  for  the 
quota  of  W'allingford  shall  be  paid  by  the  town  the  sum  of  five  pounds  lawful 
money  by  the  year  for  three  years  unless  sooner  Discharged:  to  be  paid  by  the 
beginning  of  each  year." 

This  pa\Tnent  of  bounty  was  carefully  recorded,  and  in  April,  1779,  town 
reported  to  the  State  War  Department  a  list  of  all  those  to  whom  bounties  had 
paid.  A  second  report  was  made  in  December,  177«^  and  at  vari(tus  times  list-4 
were  furnished  of  those  soldiers  whose  families  were  assisted  by  the  town  during 
their  absence  in  the  field.

In  the  expedition  to  Lakes  Gcurj^a-  and  Champlaiii  in  1775  were  several  Men- 
den  men  in  Captain  Cook  s  company.  Many  of  the  soldiers  were  taken  sick  and 
the  folIowin<:f  bills  were  paid  by  the  slate  for  medical  attendance  to  Meriden  men. 

Dr.  Insign  lluu.t;:li  pn  scnicd  a  bill  for  going  after  Benjamin  Austin  to  Still- 
water, N.  Y.,  on  October  30,  1775;

Simeon  Perkins  presented  a  bill  for  bringing  home  his  apprentice  Jared  Ben- 
ham  from  beyond  Albany. 

Lieutenant  Joseph  Shaylor  was  taken  sick  at  Putney,  Vt.,  after  the  northern 
campaign  and  "was  tended  16  days*'  at  an  expense  of  £i-zcm)  and  then  was 
obliged  to  hire  a  man  and  a  horse  to  bring  him  home,  a  distance  of  190  miles  at 
an  expense  of  £6-16-18. 

John  Stanley,  of  Wallingford,  presented  a  bill  for  going  to  Fort  George  for 
his  sick  brother,  Salmon,  in  Captain  Cook*s  company. 

Dr.  Aaron  Andrews,  of  Wallingford,  presented  a  bill  for  doctoring  Charles 
Hall  and  Ephraim  Chamberlain,  two  sick  soldiers  in  Captain  Cook's  company. 

John  Austin,  of  Wallingford,  presented  a  bill  for  going  for  his  sick  son,  Amos, 
six  miles  this  side  of  Albany. 

A  soldier  on  his  way  home  from  the  campaign  was  taken  sick  at  Edward  Col- 
lins' home  in  Meriden  and  could  go  no  further,  so  there  he  stayed  helpless  for 
six  weeks,  with  Doctors  Insign  Hough  and  Isaac  Hall  attending  htm  and  Mr. 
Collins  furnishing  nurses  and  watchers.  The  quantity  of  rum  and  brandy  ad- 
ministered to  this  sick  man  was  prodigious  during  the  two  weeks  when  he  was 
"worst."  He  finally  recovered  and  went  on  his  wav,  but  his  name  is  not  given  in 
the  bill.

As  there  was  no  manufacture  of  salt  in  this  countr\-,  the  question  of  suppl>  was 
sn  important  one.  A  quantity  was  finally  imported  at  Boston,  and  the  state  dis- 
tributed it  pro  rata  to  the  different  towns.^  Its  division  among  the  inhabitants  of 
Wallingford  was  a  burning  issue  for  some  time  and  during  1 777  there  were  many 
votes  passed  at  town  meetings  relative  to  the  matter.  At  a  meeting  held  Dec. 
4.  1777.  a  committee  to  distribute  it  was  appointed  and  it  was  voted  "that  the 
committee  set  off  the  quantity  of  salt  for  every  thousand  pounds  in  the  list,  which 
tlicv  shall  class,  and  appoint  some  meet  person  head  of  said  class  to  receive  the 
salt  that  belongs  to  said  class.

that  belongs  to  cvcr\  class  respectiveh-  shall  pay  to  the  selectmen  of  said  town 
the  cost  of  I)ringing  said  salt  from  RostDii." 

At  the  same  meeting  they  chose  a  committee  to  take  care  of  the  families  of  those 
in  the  Continental  service. 

Un  Dec.  16.  T777.  they  ■voted  a  tax  of  three  pence  on  the  pound  for  the  ben- 
<'fit  of  the  soldiers  and  their  families  that  are  now  in  the  r<»ntincntal  army.'*

The  struggle  for  independence  was  long,  arduous,  and  discouraging,  and  the 
amount  of  money  raised  by  taxation  was  an  almost  crushing  burden  for  the  dif*

But  at  last  the  dawn  came,  and  the  glorious  news  of  independence  and  peace 
was  trumpeted  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  land.

With  the  exception  of  scattered  Tticlian  wars  the  American  people  were 
dwell  iti  peace  until  the  second  war  with  Great  Hritain  in  1812.    In  one  of  the>c 
Indian  w  ars,  that  of  General  St.  Ciair  s  unhapi\v  expedition  to  the  Northwest  Ter- 
ritory in  1791,  a  few  Meriden  men  were  engaged.    On  the  records  of  the  First

The  war  with  i^ngland  in  181 2  was  not  popular  in  New  England  for  one  of 
the  restilts  was  the  embargo  of  the  port  of  Boston  and  the  effect  was  disastrous 
on  the  business  interests  of  this  section  of  the  country.

Nevertheless,  Meriden  men  did  military  service  in  this  war  and  a  goodly  num- 
ber  enlisted,  but  the  writer  has  not  been  able  to  learn  that  they  were  ever  engaged 
«ith  the  enemy.  The  records  seem  to  show  that  they  were  stationed  either  at  New 
Haven  or  New  London  for  the  period  of  a  few  weeks,  viz.:  from  Sept.  5  to  Oct, 
JO,  1814. 

In  the  old  Merriam  house  on  Johnson  hill  in  the  west  part  of  the  town,  is

290  A  CEXTURV  OF  MERIDEN. 


CHAPTER  XVII. 

According  to  an  eminent  authority  *'in  Connecticut  the  Tories  were  prohaU 
more  numerous  than  in  any  other  New  England  Colony."  The  same  authoril 
says  this  was  on  account  of  its  proximity  to  New  York :  but  this  reason  does  m 
seem  satisfactory.  A  more  probable  cause  was  the  strength  of  the  Church  c 
England  among  the  people.  The  growth  of  this  communion  was  remarkable  fvoi 
about  the  year  1740.  It  began  at  a  time  when  religion  was  at  a  tow  ebb  in  all 
New  England  colonies :  and  when  the  attempt  to  arouse  the  people  to  a  realiaatiD 
of  their  low  spiritual  condition  resulted  in  the  movement  known  as  the  ''Gtti 
Awakening."  A  revulsion  from  such  methods  caused  many  of  conservatii 
ideas  to  fly  to  the  bosom  of  that  church  which  had  previously  been  so  detested  t 
the  colonists.  But  the  question  may  be  asked  why  should  a  member  of  the  Churc 
of  England  necessarily  have  been  a  Tory.  The  terms  were  certainly  not  synonj 
nioiis  for  many  of  the  L;rc;itest  patriots  and  leaders  in  the  Revolution  were  Episo 
pAlians.  viz. :  W'ashiiiglun,  Alexander  Hamilton,  Madison,  Robert  Morris.  Rufi 
King  and  many  others.  In  the  south,  in  several  instances.  Church  of  Engiaa 
clergymen  went  (Hrectly  from  the  i>ulpii  into  the  field  to  tight  on  the  side  of  pi

Why  did  the  clergy  liere  to  a  man  maintain  their  loyalty  to  the  British  cro%rrj 
Unquestionably,  on  account  of  the  oath  <>t  allegiance  they  took  at  the  time  c>i  :hei 
ordination  and  their  cnustaiU  comnnniication  with  England  as  agents  nt  the  ."S

saclni^etts  and  New  York  large  number.s  of  Tories  emigrated  to  Canada  aj>| 
England  during  and  at  the  close  of  the  war  but  the  number  froni  (  <  "nnocticut  ii 
extremely  small  and  the  lists  of  conbscations  of  property  were  limited  to  a 
cases.  Connecticut  thus  early  laid  claitn  to  her  title  of  "  the  land  of  stea.lv  hab:!«^^ 
Her  patriots  barked  as  loudly  as  in  other  eoloiiies  but  they  confined  their  etf'^rtj 
to  iiiiimidation  and  <eIiliMn  resorted  to  extreme  measures.  An  amn^iTiq-  iHustr? 
tion  of  this  attempt  to  intimidate  was  the  baptismal  adventure  of  Dr.  Leaminf 
the  Episcopal  missionary  at  Norwalk,  who  was  called  in  April,  1776,  to  Stratlart

EARLY  HISTORY. 


to  christen  a  child  in  the  church  under  the  name  of  Thomas  Gage,  in  honor  of  the 
British  commander  at  Boston.  Immediately  the  Committee  of  Inspection  sum- 
moned the  doctor  to  give  an  explanation  of  why  he  should  have  baptized  a  child 
%irh  the  name  of  such  a  monster  of  iniquity  as  General  Gage.  The  poor  man 
^tated  that  he  had  no  discretion  in  the  matter  but  was  obliged  by  the  rubric  to  give 
the  name  in  baptism  which  the  godfathers  and  godmothers  desired.  Of  course, 
the  clergyman's  position  and  reply  were  unanswerable  and  the  Committee  of  In^ 
pection  were  powerless  to  punish  him,  much  as  they  desired  to ;  so  they  contented 
themselves  with  publishing  the  facts  in  the  Weekly  Gazette,  in  order  that  the 
Friends  of  Liberty  may  pass  judgment  on  the  attempt  of  the  clergyman  '*to  insult 
and  ridicule  the  Continental  struggle  in  the  defence  of  their  just  rights  which  are 
most  wickedly  and  injuriously  invaded.''  How  soon  all  the  bitterness  and  enmity 
of  the  war  were  forgotten  may  be  judged  from  the  fact  that  William  Samuel  John- 
son, son  of  the  first  Episcopal  clergyman  in  Connecticut,  and  a  s\  nipathizer  with 
the  British  cause  was  one  of  the  three  delegates  from  this  state  to  the  convention  in 
1787,  which  formed  our  national  constitution,  and  he  was  afterwards  elected  as 
our  first  United  States  senator. 

The  Revolution  found  few  Tories  in  Meriden,  judging  from  the  records.  On 
June  18,  1781,  the  state  sold  to  Jonathan  Meigs,  of  Middletown,  sixty-four  acres^ 
known  as  the  Rexford  farm,  lately  the  property  of  James  Jauncey,  of  New  Yoric, 
who  had  joined  the  enemies  of  the  United  States  and  whose  estate  had  been  con- 
fiscated. Tfiis  farm  is  bounded  west  by  Country  road,  south  by  Holt  s  Hill  road, 
and  north  by  Curtis  Home  pr.)i)crt>.  On  February  8,  1785,  the  state  sold  the 
Stone  House*  farm,  part  of  the  same  confiscated  estate. 

We  have  already  noted  that  when  the  pioneers  of  Meriden  chose  their  farms 
and  built  their  homes,  Samuel  Andrews  and  his  good  wife,  Abigail,  selected  a 
tract  of  land  about  a  mile  west  of  the  present  railroad  station,  on  what  is  now 
West  Main  street.  Here,  almost  under  the  shadow  of  the  grim  and  rugged  Hang- 
ing Hills,  their  children,  eight  sons,  were  bom  and  reared  to  manhood,  and  when 
the  pioneers  erected  their  primitive  little  church  on  the  slope  of  Meeting  House 
hill,  just  above  that  oak-shaded  spot  whence  a  bountiful  and  never-failing  spring 
l!fu$hes  forth  into  a  brook  that  forms  a  trout-lovers*  paradise,  Samuel  Andrews 
and  hb  wife  were  enrolled  among  the  faithful  members  of  Parson  Hall's  flock. 

It  was  nearly  three  mites  from  their  home  to  this  little  meeting  liousc,  and  each 
.^unday,  doubtless,  the  family  wended  their  way  through  the  forest  and  up  the 
hill  to  this  pioneer  sanctuary,  and  no  suspicion  existed  in  their  minds  or  in 
those  of  their  neighbors  concerning  their  orthodoxv  or  lo\altv  to  the  Puritan 
faith.

A  CENTUllY  OF  MERIDEK. 


In  the  course  of  time  it  became  necessary  for  one  of  the  sons,  Laban  by  name, 
to  go  away  from  home  to  learn  a  trade ;  SO  he  was  apprenticed  to  Captain  Macock 
W  ard,  who  Hved  on  Pond  Hill,  in  the  southern  part  of  Wallingford,  almost  on 
the  North  Haven  line.  Here  the  capuin  Hved,  respected  by  his  neighbors  and 
prominent  in  the  affairs  of  the  town;  for  he  was  many  times  deputy  to  the  Gen- 
eral Cuurt,  and  served  with  distinction  in  caini)aigns  against  the  French  and  Span* 
ish.  Governor  Talcott,  of  Hartford,  in  1740,  wnting  to  the  Duke  of  Newcastle, 
mentions  that  he  has  commissioned  Macock  Ward,  a  lieutenant,  and  we  also  learn 
tlial  he  was  a  captain  in  the  Crown  Point  campaign  of  1755.  Captain  Ward  was 
evidently  a  man  with  an  inventive  turn  of  mind,  for  the  fact  has  come  down  to 
us  that  tlic  first  pleasure  carriage  to  be  used  in  Wallingford,  was  owned  by  him 
about  the  \  ear  1755.  To  it  he  had  attached  a  sort  of  cyclometer  arrangement. 
The  carriage  was  a  (juc-horse  chaise  and  the  diameter  of  each  wheel  was  about 
tixe  feet.  means  of  niachinerv  and  a  bell  attached  to  one  of  the  wheels  and 
put  in  mntiitii  by  the  i)rogress  of  ilie  vehicle,  each  revolution  was  recorded  and 
the  driver  was  notified  when  a  mile  had  been  traveled  by  the  striking  of  the  bell.* 
( )ne  can  imagine  the  sensattuu  created  by  the  doughty  captain  when  riding  al)OUt 
the  streets  uf  the  town  in  his  stranue  and  wonderful  vcln'cle.  He  carried  on  the 
inann  facttire  of  reeds  used  in  hatid  looms  and  it  is  probable  that  it  was  to  this 
trade  I.ahan  Andrew  s  was  bound  a>  an  a]>prentice.  ddie  only  cause  of  complaint 
that  the  tnwii  c<udd  nri^e  against  the  captain  wa>  iliat  lie  was  a  Churchman  or  mem- 
ber of  the  Chnrch  oi  I'nj^dand.  an  organization  tliat  was  decidedly  not  in  general^ 
favor  at  this  time  in  .\ew  lingland.  Indeed,  the  W  ard  tamilx  generally  seems  to; 
have  been  identified  with  this  church,  tor  his  grandfather.  Andrew,  was  on  the 
register  of  members  of  the  I'.piscopal  churcli  in  Stratford  a!id  his  brother.  Am-: 
bro.se,  w  as  a  vestryman  of  Trinity  church.  Xew  Haven,  during  the  years  1774- 
177O,  and  1778-1780.  I'lUt  these  facts  camiot  have  much  oppressed  the  captain 
or  lie  WMuld  not  have  i>ccnpied  so  prominent  a  p(.>silion  in  the  comnnmity  and. 
been  .so  iarL;ely  the  recijiient  of  tin-  lavors  of  his  fellow  townsmen.  Young  .An- 
drews, as  was  the  custom  in  those  days,  was  made  one  of  the  family,  and  forth- 
with proceeded  to  fall  in  love  with  one  of  the  captain's  daughters,  and  was  so 
succc.ssftd  in  his  suit  that  he  was  sorm  the  attianced  lover  of  the  young  woman. 
For  .some  reax.n  this  engn'^cmcnt  did  not  terminate  in  a  marriage,  but  during  the 
brief  heyday  of  bli^s  the  >uimg  wnman.  mindful  of  the  welfare  of  the  soul  of  her 
lover,  .succeeded  in  converting  him  to  the  faith  of  her  father;  and  the  result  was 
so  lasting  atid  thorough  that  tlie  broken  troth  did  not  cause  I.ahan  to  desert  the 
altar  fmm  which  he  had  hoptil  to  lead  Miss  Content  Ward  as  his  blushing  hri<ie, 
but  rather  led  him  10  chng  more  closely  to  it,  and  to  become  such  a  missionary  in

land in  I 701  to  en- 
courage the  growth 
of  the  church  in  the

ciety directed  him  to 
take  charge  of  the 
work  in  Walling- 
ford, Cheshire  and 


North  Haven ;  and  there  for  a  number  of  vears  he  quietlv  labored  in  his  appointed 
field. 

His  personalitA'  was  charming,  for  in  him  were  united  not  only  a  handsome 
presence  and  delightful  manners,  but  keen  wit  and  humor,  and  affability  and  good 
nature.    He  won  the  respect  and  warmest  affection,  not  only  of  his  parishioners,

March  30lh  and  April  6.  18.')0.  by  Rev.  Htllard  Bryant.  He  was  rector  of  St.  Paul  s  church.  Wal- 
lo^ford.  1841-50,  and  at  that  time  there  were  many  still  alive  who  would  have  been  eye-witnesses  of

but  also  of  the  whole  comnjunky.  The  rectory  which  stood  a  little  to  the  east  of 
North  Main  street  in  Walluigford  rested  on  the  same  foundation  which  supports 
the  house  until  lately  forming  the  home  of  the  Choate  School  for  Boys.  He  was 
well  provided  for  by  the  income  of  fourteen  acres  of  glebe  land,  a  stipend  from  the 
Missionary  Society  and  the  contributions  o£  his  faithful  parishioners.  He  mar- 
ried on  September  13,  176^  Hannah  Shelton,  of  Stratford,  and  was  blessed  by 
a  family  of  six  children  and  the  manner  of  his  living  is  indicated  by  the  fact  that 
he  had  two  negro  slaves,  St.  Paul's  church  stood  at  the  comer  of  Main  and 
Christian  streets  on  the  same  lot  on  which  the  public  school  now  stands,  not  far 
from  the  parson's  home.  His  life  was  a  happy  one»  although  laborious,  for  his 
work  extended  over  a  large  amount  of  territory. 

The  church  was  prosperous  and  growing  and  reflected  much  credit  on  the 
zeal  and  faithfulness  of  the  efiicient  minbter.  He  was  rewarded  by  the  warm 
regard  of  his  flock,  by  the  kind  words  of  the  venerable  scKiety  in  England,  and 
lastly  by  a  present  of  a  gilded  and  much  carved  royal  coat  of  arms  which  occupied 
a  conspicuous  place  in  the  little  parish  church  of  Watlingford.  The  rapid  growth 
of  the  church  under  bis  care  was  probably  largely  assisted  by  the  bitter  contro^ 
versy  which  for  some  time  had  divided  the  G>ngregationalists  in  Wallingford  into 
two  hostile  camps ;  a  controversy  so  bitter  that  all  New  England  was  exercised 
by  it  and  the  noise  of  the  warfare  had  even  penetrated  to  remote  colonies.  For 
reasons  too  tedious  to  enumerate  and  which  it  is  doubtful  if  we  should  understand 
if  related,  the  schism  had  become  permanent,  and  henceforth  for  a  number  of 
years  there  were  two  Congregational  churches  in  Wallingford.'  Dr.  James  Dana 
was  the  pastor  of  the  old  society  and  the  new  or  Wells  society  had  called  the  Rev. 
Mr.  Waterman  to  minister  to  them.  Tradition  says  that  a  warm  personal  friend* 
ship  sprang  up  between  Dr.  Dana  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Andrews:  a  friendship  which 
was  doubtless  much  tested  and  tried  by  their  radically  different  rdigkms  and  po- 
litical views,  but  which  lasted  until  the  death  of  Dr.  Dana  in  181 2. 

Most  of  the  years  of  Mr.  Andrews'  ministry  were  uneventful  until  we  ap- 
proach the  time  when  the  American  Revolution  broke  out.  His  brother,  Laban, 
for  a  number  of  years,  was  one  of  his  church  wardens,  and  his  work  was  also  as- 
sisted and  supplemented  by  two  strong  and  influential  men  who  were  a  tower  of 
strength  to  him  in  seasons  of  doubt  and  distress.  These  two  men  were  our  friend. 
Captain  Macock  Ward,  and  Captain  Titus  Brockett,  a  man  of  considerable  means, 
and  with  very  pronounced  and  not  popular  views  on  the  relations  which  he  thought 
ought  to  exist  between  the  king  and  the  colonists.  Captain  Brockett  was  so  staunch 
a  Tory  that  when  he  died  in  July,  1773,  a  tradition  exists  that  it  was  only  after 
strong  effort  that  his  widow  and  friends  were  permitted  to  bury  his  body  in 
the  old  cemetery,  and  then,  only  in  the  easterly  portion  of  the  graveyard,  where

the  ground  was  so  soft  and  swampy,  that  the  coffin  could  only  be  finnly  fixed  in 
tlie  bottom  of  the  grave  by  the  aid  of  two  strong  fence  rails  bound  together  where 
tliey  crossed  each  other  diagonally  just  above  the  earth.  As  proof  of  the  truth  of 
dus  tradition  it  may  be  stated  that  the  gravestone  of  the  old  Tory  is  in  a  neglected 
and  lonesome  spot  in  the  extreme  eastern  part  of  the  cemetery,  just  south  of  the

St.  Paul's  church  was  also  handsomely  endowed  and  the  widow  donated  £50, 
the  income  of  which  was  to  «;o  to  the  poor.  We  note  anions^  the  personal  effects 
of  the  cajjtain  a  silver  tankard  (from  which  he  douhtlos  frequently  drank  the 
health  of  King  George  and  death  to  his  enemies),  six  pairs  of  breeches,  seveti 
coats,  seven  waistcoats,  a  sword,  wig  box,  hat  case,  gold  huttons  and  silver  buckles.

in  the  cemetery  f  which  lie>  ahout  three  hundred  feet  east  of  the  present  W'alling- 
ford  railroad  station )  was  but  one  of  many  evidences  of  the  intensity  of  feeling  ui 
the  country  generally. 

Wallingford  was  like  every  other  town  in  Xew  Eugland.  Disgust  with  the 
acts  of  the  British  parliament  was  fast  ripening  the  people  for  almost  any  step; 
it  needed  but  a  match  to  tire  the  i>ent-u])  feelings,  and  the  day  at  Lexington  and 
Concord  at  last  set  free  all  re^lraint.  Then  on  June  i/th,  1775,  came  the  battle 
of  Bunker  Hill  where  the  green  and  raw  provincial  forces  showed  a  grim  deter- 
mination and  bravery  that  should  have  warned  the  British  of  the  seriousness  of 
the  conflict  which  was  impending. 

Congress  in  Philadelphia  had  already  appointed  George  Washington  command- 
er-in-chief of  the  Continental  forces  and  on  the  21st  he  started  for  Cambridge  with 
his  retinue  of  officers  to  take  charge  of  the  army  w  hich  invested  Boston.  On  Sun- 
day, June  25th,  he  reached  New  York  and  on  Wednesday,  the  28th,  he  arrived  at 
New  Haven  where  he  passed  the  night  in  the  tavern  of  Isaac  Beers,  which  stood 
near  the  location  of  the  present  New  Haven  House.  Everywhere  his  progress 
was  a  triumphal  procession  and  he  was  met  with  joy  and  acelamation.  T|ie  ne.xt 
morning  he  dei>arted  from  New  Haven  attended  by  great  numbers  of  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  town.  A  New  Haven  paper  of  the  times  said:  "They  were  escorted 
out  of  town  by  two  companies  dressed  in  their  uniforms  and  by  a  company  of 
young  gentlemen  belonging  to  the  seminary  in  this  place."  One  of  this  latter 
company  was  Noah  Webster  who  marched  at  the  head  pla>  ing  a  fife  or  drum.  At 
the  rate  they  were  moving  they  must  have  reached  Wallingford  a  little  before 
noon.  This  was  on  June  29th.  Accompanying  Washington  was  General  Giarles 
Lee,  soldier  of  fortune,  and  also  braggart  and  poltroon,  who  later  went  down  to 
everlasting  infamy  and  disgrace  at  the  battle  of  Monmouth. 

Washington  with  his  officers  stopped  to  dine  at  the  tavern  and  the  clergy  of 
the  town  were  asked  to  dine  with  him.   As  he  was  a  Churchman,  it  was  but  nat-

EAKLY  BtSTORY. 


tml  that  Parson  Andrews  should  he  invited  also,  notwithstanding  his  suspected 
Royalist  &ym{»athies.  The  Rev.  Mr.  Waterman  of  the  Wells  Society  asked  the 
blessing,  and  became  so  voluble  and  continued  the  prayer  to  such  a  length,  that 
impatient  General  Lee  could  restrain  his  appetite  no  longer  and  sat  down  and  began 
10  eat  while  the  prayer  was  still  in  progress.  Tradition  says  nothing  as  to  the  con- 
duct  of  General  Washington,  but  it  is  safe  to  assume  that,  as  usual,  it  was  irre- 
proachable. 

After  the  repast  Parson  Andrews  was  asked  to  give  thanks,  possibly  with  the 
idea  that  he  would  make  some  remark  that  could  be  twisted  into  treason  to  the 
commonwealth,  but  he  refused  to  be  drawn  into  the  trap  and  with  a  keen  sense 
of  humor  and  with  the  idea  of  administering  a  rebuke  to  Parson  Waterman  for 
his  excessively  bad  taste  in  boring  the  guests  with  so  many  words,  he  repeated  a 
verse  from  Ecclesiastes,  v:  2,  **Be  not  rash  with  thy  mouth  and  let  not  thine  heart 
be  hasty  to  utter  anjrthiog  before  God :  for  God  is  in  Heaven  and  thou  upon  earth : 
therefore  let  thy  words  be  few,"  and  sat  down.  To  an  ardent  patriot  the  courag- 
eous minister's  words  must  have  been  like  waving  a  red  flag  in  the  face  of  a  bull : 
bat,  to  a  patriot  like  Dr.  Dana,  with  an  abounding  sense  of  the  ludicrous  and  a 
not  too  pleasant  feeling  toward  his  rival,  Mr.  Waterman,  the  situation  must  have 
been  an  enjoyable  one but  the  occasion  was  remembered  and  Parson  Andrews' 
words  rankled  in  the  breast  of  many  a  patriot.  * 

After  the  repast  General  Washington  and  his  retinue  moved  on  to  Wethers- 
tield  where  they  arrived  in  the  afternoon  and  dined;  then  on  to. Hartford  and 
Springfield,  at  which  latter  place  they  were  met  by  a  committee  from  the  Mas- 
^^achusetts  Provincial  Assembly  who  escorted  the  distinguished  party  to  Cam- 
bridge,* 

In  July  a  day  of  fasting  and  humiliation  was  proclaimed  by  the  General  Con- 
gress in  Philadelphia  and  Parson  Andrews  chose  the  opportunity  to  deliver  a  ser- 
mon to  his  faithful  flock.  His  text  was  from  Amos  v :  3i,  "I  hate,  I  despise  your 
feast  days,  and  I  will  not  smell  in  your  solemn  assemblies." 

Naturally,  as  soon  as  the  text  became  generally  known  there  was  a  profound 
sensation  throughout  the  community.  Some  one  communicated  the  text  to  the 
Connecticut  Gazette  and  New  Haven  Postboy  and  a  very  acrimonious  correspond- 
ence followed  in  the  same  paper.  One  correspondent  stated  that  since  Mr.  An- 
<^rcws  had  come  to  Wallingford  three  fasts  had  been  proclaimed  and  that  at  the 
time  of  the  Stamp  Act  in  1765  he  had  preached  a  sermon  in  his  church  on  this 
text:  "In  those  days  there  was  no  King  in  Israel,  but  every  man  did  that  whkh

was  right  in  his  own  eyes,"  which  showed  his  utter  lack  of  sympathy  with  the 
motive  which  inspired  the  fast.  At  the  time  of  the  fast  in  1774  he  told  his  con- 
gregation on  the  Sunday  previous  that  he  did  not  think  it  worth  while  to  read 
the  proclamation,  that  he  should  not  open  his  church  and  that  his  hearers  might 
go  where  they  wished.  He  himself  was  seen  riding  on  his  horse  in  the  town 
street  at  the  time  of  public  worship  and  some  of  his  people  spent  the  day  in  fes- 
tivity. His  conduct  at  that  time  gave  so  much  umbrage  that  on  the  third  fast 
February  ist,  177$,  he  opened  his  church  for  public  worship.  Mr.  Andrews  re- 
plied to  his  correspondents  and  followed  up  the  matter  by  publishing  bis  sermon, 
to  which  was  attached  the  following  affidavit:  "August  12,  1775,  The  following 
discourse  was  examined  and  found  to  be  a  true  copy  of  the  original  by  Street 
Hall,  Caleb  Hall."  The  sermon  certainl\  does  not  show  any  sympathy  with  the 
cause  in  which  the  country  was  now  embarked.  He  warns  liis  hearers  to  pavise 
ere  it  be  too  late,  reminds  them  of  the  prodigious  strength  oi  luigland.  calls  their 
attention  to  the  fact  that  it  is  absurd  to  prate  so  much  about  libert}-  and  equality 
of  ail  men  when  so  many  men  are  held  as  slaves  in  varions  parts  of  the  country. 
The  sermon  is  mild  in  tone  but  it  is  anything  but  encouraging  to  the  cause  of 
patriotism. 

Hut  notwithstanding  the  mild  tone  of  the  sermcn  the  harm  had  been  done,  an<l. 
added  to  the  disagreeable  impression  made  at  the  tlinner  to  the  generals,  caused 
excitement  to  reach  a  white  heat.  A  meeting  of  the  Insjiection  Committee  was 
held  and  the  j)arsnn  was  j)nt  under  heavy  bonds  to  keep  the  peace  and  he  was  for- 
bidden to  go  anywhere  except  to  and  from  his  church  without  permission  of  the 
committee.  The  breaking  out  of  hostilities  and  the  Declaration  of  Tndcj)endeiice 
must,  of  course,  have  cut  off  Mr.  Andrews*  stiiiend  from  England:  and  flnring 
the  long  and  wearv  years,  with  some  of  ins  tiock  serving  in  the  army  and  others 
deserting  to  the  enemy  his  life  cannot  have  been  a  cheerful  one.  It  is  probable 
that  he  did  not  continue  to  hold  services  in  his  church  after  the  edict  of  the  In- 
spection Committee  had  been  issued.  There  was  an  extremely  hitter  feeling  in  the 
communitv  against  all  Ciuircluncn,  fur  this  term  was  generally  considered 
synonymous  with  Toryism.  A  very  respectable  Episcopalian  had  been  shot  for 
being  a  Tory^  and  it  was  rumored  that  the  wells  of  several  other  Tories  were  to 
be  poisoned,  iiut  it  is  believed  that  after  the  order  of  the  bishop  of  London  was 
.sent  over  in  1778  directing  the  clergy  to  open  tlieir  churches  and  hold  services, 
omitting  the  prayer  for  the  king  and  royal  family  that  the  parson  called  his  fright- 
ened flock  together  and  began  once  more  to  minister  to  his  people. 

Laban  Andrews,  who  was  a  staunch  patriot,  was  one  of  the  Inspection  Com- 
mittee and  also  a  selectman  and  presumably  made  life  as  easy  for  his  unliappy

Inother  as  possible.  Laban's  son  Pitt  (no  doubt  named  for  the  great  Earl  of 
Chatham,  the  sturdy  friend  of  America  until  his  death)  met  a  tragic  end  in  the 
tmy  at  the  early  age  of  fourteen. 

the  Wallingford  records  briefly  state:  ''Pitt,  son  of  Laban  and  Prudence  An- 
drews, killed  in  battle  at  Greenwich:  denied  quarter  by  the  enemy  June  29^  1779-" 
Tliis,  no  doubt,  was  but  a  minor  engagement  with  the  British  just  previous  to  their 
Vicent  on  New  Haven  in  July,  for  we  learn  from  some  old  Revolutionary  rolls 
lately  discovered  in  the  town  clerk's  office  at  Wallingford,  that  several  companies 
vcie  detached  to  go  to  Greenwich  the  15th  of  June,  1779. 

We  wonder  if  the  parson  was  allowed  to  call  on  that  rank  old  Tory,  Governor 
William  Franklin  of  New  Jersey  (son  of  the  immortal  Benjamin),  who  was  for 
iome  time  confined  in  the  old  Carrington  house  on  Main  street,  which  stood  just 
noih  of  the  present  Simpson  block. 

Franklin  was  the  last  royal  governor  of  Xew  Jersey  and  a  natural  son.  He 
vas  a  man  of  fine  appearance  and  on  a  visit  to  England  with  his  father  made 
ach  an  impression  on  the  celebrated  Earl  of  Bute,  that,  on  his  recommendation, 
^^e  was  appointed  governor  of  New  Jersey  in  1763.  During  the  first  days  of  the 
ii^fiute  of  America  with  the  mother  country,  he  became  involved  with  his  as- 
^mbly  which  soon  declared  him  to  be  an  enemy  to  his  country,  and  gave  orders 
that  he  should  be  sent  a  prisoner  to  Connecticut.  He  was  accordingly  placed  in 
the  custody  of  a  g^nard  commanded  by  a  captain  who  liad  orders  to  take  him  to 
*'Ovemor  Trumbull.  The  officer  in  charge  halted  at  Hackensack,  and  was  re- 
buked by  Washington  for  his  delay,  as  the  commander-in-chief  believed  that  the 
^!eposed  governor  was  designing  to  effect  his  escape ;  basing  his  belief  on  the  fact 
that  he  had  refused  to  sign  the  parole  and  that  a  letter  to  Mrs.  Franklin  liad  been 
intercepted. 

He  arrived  in  Connecticut  July  5.  1776.  He  was  immediately  sent  to  Wal- 
i^Tigford  after  he  had  siijned  his  parole.  He  was  at  first  placed  in  the  inn,  then 
^q*t  by  Captain  Johnson.  It  was  crowded  with  officers,  soldier.*?,  travelers  and 
townsmen  whose  sympathies  were  all  on  the  patriotic  side.  Naturally  his  life  was 
^■:ade  exceedingly  disagreeable.  He  was  insulted  and  jeered  at  and  even  threat- 
ened with  assassination.  The  Tories  of  the  town  who  were  among  the  most  re- 
spectable and  wealthy  families  in  the  community,  desirinsj:  to  assist  the  governor 
and  relieve  him  from  his  sufferings,  applied  to  Mrs.  Potter,  the  wife  of  Dr.  Tared 
f*"tter.  for  a  suite  of  rooms  in  her  s})acious,  wcll-furnished  house  on  the  other  side 
■"I  the  street,  pronu'sing  to  see  that  she  was  amj>ly  reinil)ur<:ed.  Dr.  Totter,  an 
ardent  and  strenuous  patriot,  was  away  with  the  army,  and  so  she  agreed  t.>  the 
Proposition  and  Govcrrior  Franklin  was  quietly  removed  at  night  t(i  his  new 
il<>de  where  he  was  kept  secluded  and  comparatively  secure.  Xo  one  visited  him 
except  a  few  of  his  Tory  friends  and.  in  the  meantime,  he  amused  himself  as  best

lie  could  with  Mrs.  Potter's  little  girls,  with  whom  he  walked  in  the  flower  garden 
liark  of  the  house.  He  made  himself  as  gay  a  companion  as  possible.  [>la}ing, 
cliatting  and  romping  with  them,  nnd  he  would  eagerly  watch  the  clock  to  stB 
the  hands  indicate  the  hour  when  they  \\(>ul(l  return  from  school.  It  soon  lie- 
came  known  that  the  governor  was  in  Mrs.  Potter's  house  and  the  patriots  openly 
proinised  to  visit  personal  violence  upon  him  so  that  both  parties  became  alarmed 
at  what  might  be  the  outcome  of  the  sit:i  iti  ni.  Rumors  of  poisoned  wells 
and  personal  violence  were  circulated.  The  Whigs  noticed  the  frequent  viski 
of  tlie  Tories  to  the  prisoner's  apartments  and  believed  that  a  plot  was  on 
foot  to  take  him  quietly  away  at  night  to  the  seashore  and  put  hitn  on  some  British 
boat  in  the  Sound.^  Petitions  were  sent  to  Governor  Trumbull  asking  him  t<>  re* 
move  the  prisoner  to  a  place  of  greater  safety.  The  Governor  agreed  10 
do  as  he  was  asked  and  he  was  taken  to  East  Windsor  where  he  was  quar«< 
tered  in  the  house  of  Captain  Ebenezer  Grant.  In  1777  he  reciuested  liberty  m 
visit  his  wife  who  was  sick  in  a  house  a  few  miles  away.  In  reply  to  his  requesd 
General  Washington  refused  to  grant  it,  although  he  wrote  him  a  s\Tnpathetii 
letter.  Mrs.  Franklin  continued  to  pine  and  finally  died  in  great  unhappine^is  in 
1778  and  on  a  monumental  t;!b!cf  erected  to  her  memory  in  St.  Paul's  church.  New

part  from  the  husband  she  loved  and  at  length  despairing  of  the  soothing  ho|>e  ol 
his  speedy  return,  she  sunk  under  accumulated  distresses."  In  1778  an  exchangi 
of  prisoners  was  effected  and  Governor  Franklin  was  removed.  His  course 
a  source  of  ic^reat  mortification  to  his  distinguished  father.

to  the  Continental  government  was  so  strong  that  he  would  hardly  have  tolerated 
the  idea  of  harboring  a  traitor  m  his  house  under  any  conditions.- 

We  wonder  if  the  Inspection  Committee  gave  the  parson  permission  to  condole 
with  and  try  to  comfort  his  former  parishioner,  the  unhappy  Abiathar  Camp,  wbfl 
was  for  a  w  hile  confined  on  parole  in  his  own  house  in  Wallingford?  Mr.  Canip

Acalth.  owning^,  besides  liis  residence  in  New  Haven,  farms  in  Eastbury  and  W'al-

very  resfiectahle  position  in  the  conmuniity. 

He  was  cventnally  allowed  to  leave  WaHint^ford  and  return  to  his  home  in 
Xew  Haven,  having  become  what  was  known  as  a  Recanter,  but  at  the  time  of 
ihe  invasion  of  Xew  Haven  by  the  British  in  177U,  he  left  with  the  enemy  when 
!hey  retired  from  the  town  and  settled  at  last  in  Xew  Brunswick  where  he  died 
at  the  age  of  eighty- four  years. 

At  a  town  meeting  held  in  1775,  a  Committee  of  Inspection  was  elected  to  en- 
quire into  all  cases  of  suspected  loyalty  and  to  take  such  measures  as  were  neces- 
sary. The  connnittee  did  not  let  the  grass  grow  Under  its  feet.  The  members 
were  as  follows:  Eliakim  Hall,  Stephen  Andrews,  Deacon  David  Hall,  Ensign 
Caleb  Atwater,  Isaac  BuIU  Uriah  Collins,  Nathaniel  Hart  for  the  First  society; 
Captain  Asahd  Hall,  Major  Reuben  Atwater,  Captain  Moses  Atwater,  David 
Brooks,  Samuel  Beach,  Esq..  Lieutenant  Munson  Merriman  for  Cheshire  parish, 
and  James  Hough,  Ensign  Divan  Berry,  Lieutenant  Allen  Roys,  Laban  Andrews, 
Captain  Hezekiah  Johnson  and  Mites  Johnson  for  Meriden  parish :  another  com- 
mittee was  appointed  Dec.  17,  1776. 

In  the  Connecticut  Journal  Nov.  22,  1775.  appears  the  following: 

"At  a  meeting  of  the  Committee  of  Inspection  for  the  town  of  Wallingford, 
in  the  county  of  New  Haven,  on  the  6th  day  of  Nov  1775  Benjamin  Hall,'  the

after  considering  the  matter  carefully  he  was  ready  to  do  penance  for  his  transgres-

the  following: 

"I,  Asa  Austin,  of  WallinL:tc)r<J,  beinj^  sensible  that  I  have  contemptuously

The  power  of  this  inspection  or  vigilance  committee  must  have  been  great  in 
crushing  out  all  independence  of  statement.

EARLV  HISTORY. 


In  1778  ten  members  of  his  parish  in  Xorth  Haven  sent  the  fcdlowtng  letter 
to  '  John  Martin,  Commissary  General  at  New  York  with  speed,  Morth  Haven, 
February  12,  1778,  We  the  inhabitants  of  North  Haven  whose  names  are  under- 
written are  the  king's  loyal  subjects  and  well-wishers  to  his  Majesty,  George  HI. 
We  have,  therefore,  provided  a  considerable  quantity  of  provisions  and  tobacco  for 
the  use  of  his  army  and  intend  to  send  at  the  first  opportunity  we  have  to  New 
York  or  Long  Island.  We  have,  likewise,  several  young  men  that  intends  to 
j<Mn  the  regrulars  the  first  chance  the\  have. 

We  hope  the  God  of  Heaven  will  succor  you  in  your  endeavors  to  subdue  the 
rebels  to  your  subjection,  so  we  must  conclude  your  hearty  friends  and  well- 
wbhers." 

Fortunately  for  the  signers  of  this  document  it  did  not  become  public  until  long 
after  the  war  was  ended. 

Parson  Andrews'  brothers  in  Meriden  did  not  escape  without  a  visit  from  the 
same  authority  which  was  oppressing  him.  Moses,  who  lived  on  the  old  home 
farm  in  Meriden,  had  been  forbidden  by  the  Inspection  Committee  to  leave  it  under 
any  pretext  whatsoever  and  Denison,  another  brother,  was  laboring  under  a  like 
situation.  To  Moses  the  most  grievous  part  of  his  punishment  was  in  being  for- 
bidden to  worship  God  with  his  brethren  on  the  Lord's  Day  and  in  his  parish 
church.  He  petitioned  for  permission  to  go  to  church  on  Sundays  in  Walling- 
ford.  The  request  was  refused,  but  he  was  graciously  given  liberty  to  at- 
tend the  Congregational  meeting  in  Meriden.  To  a  Churchman  of  the  An- 
drews stripe  this  favor  was  galling.  Finding  that  he  would  not  be  allowed  to  at- 
tend the  church  of  his  choice  he  determined  to  have  services  in  his  own 
house.     Immediately  his  parlor  was  transformed  into  a  chapel.     Slabs  and 

locks  of  wood  served  as  benches  and  the  other  Churchmen  who  were  his  neigh- 
(x>rs  were  invited  to  attend.  Moses  himself  acted  as  lay  reader.  This  was  the 
beginning  of  St.  Andrew  s  church,  Meriden.  The  services  here  so  humbly  be- 
iCiin.  were  continued  in  the  same  house  for  a  quarter  of  a  century. 

It  should  not  l)e  forgotten  that  at  tlie  time  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  Walling- 
forrl  was  a  much  larjjer  place  re!ativi  l\  than  it  is  to-day.  Ft  had  almost  as  many 
mhabitants  as  Hartford  and  a  trifle  larger  tax  list.  In  fact,  it  was  one  of  the 
larjje  towns  of  the  state  and  was  generally  noted  as  a  stronghold  of  patriots  of 
vhich  there  is  evidence  in  the  record  of  the  taxes  laid  during  the  different  years 

f  the  war.     In  1775  the  tax  rate  was  2d.  on  the   £,  in  1776  id.  in 
'777  i.V^<i<l.  in  '779  39d,  and  in  1780  it  reached  tfic  enormous  sum  of  6s.  4d.  on 
^He  £,  which  was  practically  confiscation,  or  else  it  denoted  a  great  depreciation 
the  circulating:  medium.    While  Wallin^ford  did  not  furnish  any  noted  men 
to  the  Revolutionary  cause  it  had  a  large  body  of  troops  in  the  field  officered  by 
able  Waliingford  men.

A  CENTURY  OF  HEKIDEN. 


Wallingford  served  as  a  place  of  detention  for  many  others  who  had  been 
voted  inimical  to  their  country.  These  prisoners  were  confined  in  different  houses 
and  on  January  21,  1777,  it  was  voted  that  all  regular  prisoners  t1  1  li  ill  1  c  sta- 
tioned in  Wallingford  and  quartered  in  the  houses  of  different  famihes  shall  not 
be  allowed  to  go  about  or  abroad  without  license  from  the  heads  of  these  families. 
A  large  powder  house  was  stationed  in  the  town  which  seems  to  have  been  the 
cause  of  much  anxiety  to  the  selectmen  and  citizens  generally.  Guards  were  ap- 
pointed to  look  after  it  carefully  and  see  that  the  hated  Tories  might  not  find  op- 
portunity to  cause  the  powder  to  be  exploded.  Wallingford  was  as  susceptible  as 
any  other  part  of  the  country  to  news  of  success  or  hope  for  the  future,  and  we  find 
in  the  Connecticut  Journal  of  May  6,  1778,  a  letter  from  Wallingford  dated  May 
1st,  which  reads  as  follows:  "Tuesday  last  a  number  of  respectable  inhabitants 
assembled  towards  evening  to  celebrate  in  civil  demonstration  of  Joy  the  late  im- 
portant intelligence  from  Europe  brought  by  the  frigate  La  Sensible.  The  re- 
joicings were  introduced  with  thirteen  discharges  of  cannon,  followed  by  three 
cheers.  To  this  succeeded  the  same  ntttnber  of  volleys  with  small  arms  with  the 
rnder-mentioned  toasts  interspersed  with  the  cheers  repeated.  The  whole  was 
conducted  with  the  greatest  pro])riety  and  regularity  and  the  company  dispersed 
early  in  the  evening."  W  e  will  not  give  a  complete  list  of  the  toasts.  Among 
them  were  the  following  which  have  some  interest  for  us  because  they  show  the 
cause  of  the  rejoicing : 

'Trance  and  Spain." 

''The  American  Ambassador  at  the  Court  of  France.'* 

"General  Gates  and  his  brave  army  who  gave  the  last  deadly  blow  to  the  pride' 
of  Britain." 

''General  Stark  and  the  brave  militia  who  fought  the  battle  of  Bennington.** 

**May  monopolizers  and  withholders,  Tories  and  Tyrants,  meet  with  the  confu- 
sion thev  so  justlv  deserve.*' 

"May  the  internal  Foes  of  America  never  taste  the  Sweets  of  Liberty." 

"May  the  Union  of  the  American  States  be  perpetual  and  their  Prize  Free- 
dom until  time  shall  be  no  more." 


Wallingford  was  intensely  democratic  in  its  sympathies  and  opposed  bitterly 
the  attempt  to  retire  officers  with  five  years  full  pay ;  and  the  idea  of  a  Society  of 
the  Cincinnati  was  too  odious  to  contemplate.  At  a  town  meeting  held  in  Sep- 
tember, 1783,  the  local  representatives  to  the  legislature  were  instructed  to  oppose 
all  encroachments  of  the  .\merican  Congress  upon  the  sovereignty  and  jurisdiction 
of  the  separate  states  and  to  pursue  a  strict  and  thorough  investigation  of  the  great 
and  interesting  question  whether  Congress  was  authorized  by  the  Federal  consti-' 
tution  to  grant  half-pay  for  life  to  the  officers  of  the  army.

But  all  things  have  an  end  and  at  last  the  w  eary  war  was  brought  to  a  close 
and  the  country  began  to  resume  a  nomial  condition.  And  this  was  a  time 
vbich  has  been  well-called  "The  Critical  Period  of  American  liistory.  "  I*"or  in 
seme  places  anarchy  stalked  abroad  and  it  began  to  look  as  if  the  liberty  for  which 

10  much  bl(x)d  had  been  shed  was  but  a  mockery  and  a  delusion. 

Finally  Air.  Andrews  recognized  the  inevitable,  that  the  separation  from  the 
ni  ther  country  was  irrevocable  and  complete,  and  in  April,  1785.  signed  the 
oath  of  fidelity  to  the  state  of  Connecticut. 

W  ith  many  of  his  flock  gone  and  the  rest  impov  erished  and  discouraged,  the 
i:]«Hjk  was  not  cheering.    Broken  in  spirit  and  in  health,  he  decided  to  leave  the 

ntry  and  settle  under  the  British  crown  in  Xew  Brunswick.  In  spite  of 
:'::«ers  and  entreaties  thither  he  went  in  the  spring  of  ijSf^  and  chose  as  his  asy- 

the  town  oi  St.  Andrews,  where,  from  his  home  he  could  look  across  the  St. 

i\  river  and  see  the  shores  of  Maine.    He  returned  to  Wallingford  in  the  fall, 

III  the  spring  of  1787  he  bade  farewell  to  his  parishioners  and  with  his  fnmily 
''a(!e  the  journey  to  St.  Andrews,  taking  with  him  the  rnval  coat  nt  arms  which 
trs.lont:  a  time  had  been  a  conspicimus  object  in  St.  Paul  s  church.  Doubtless 
"ring  the  war  of  the  Revolution  it  was  safely  hidden  in  some  cellar  or  Ljarri  t 
rci:re  from  the  ]>rving  eyes  of  meddlesome  patriots.  But  shortly  after  the  ad- 
int  of  Parson  .Andrews  in  St.  Andrews  it  was  Ihiult  '^'i  the  walls  of  .\11  Saints" 
VTch.  which  was  built  about  1792.  and  altliough  ilio  old  churcli  i*!  gone,  still

Some  time  after  his  arrival  in  St.  Andrews  the  good  parson  was  stricken  witl 
a  paralytic  stroke  which  for  a  while  incapacitated  him  for  work  in  his  new  fteld 
During  the  winter  of  1792- 1793  he  made  a  visit  to  Wallingford.  How  much  o: 
sadness  must  have  mingled  with  the  pleasure  of  revisiting  the  old  familiar  places 
His  friend,  Captain  Macock  Ward,  had  passed  away  an  unrepentant  Tor>'  to  th< 
Jast.  He  never  received  an  office  from  his  fellow-townsmen  after  being  electee 
to  the  Colonial  Court  in  1774  and  he  sturdily  refused  to  the  end  to  sign  the  oatl 
of  fidelity  to  the  state  of  Connecticut.  Dr.  Dana  had  been  called  to  the  Firs 
church  in  New  Haven.  Mr.  Andrews'  father,  Samuel,  and  brother,  Laban.  ha( 
been  gathered  to  their  fathers.  Death  had  been  busy  in  many  places  amon^  hi; 
friends.  But  his  brothers,  Denison  and  Moses,  were  still  living  in  Meriden  an< 
doubtless  many  of  his  hours  were  passed  with  them.  He  officiated  to  sonic  ck 
tent  in  the  churches  in  Wallinq^ford,  North  Haven  and  Cheshire  and  pcrforme* 
the  marriage  ceremony  tor  children  of  lii^  fornier  parishioners. 

And  now  the  time  ha<l  come  to  return  to  his  home  in  N'ew  Brunsu  ick  :  ihi 
farewells  were  said  and  the  sloop  "Prosperity."  Isaac  Kirtlaml.  of  W  allijigtord

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

If  one  takes  the  electric  car  line  and  rides  to  the  end  of  the  track  in  East  Met- 
iden,  nearly  to  the  Middletown  boundary,  one  is  in  BangalL  There  are  no  predM 
limits  to  the  district,  and  one  hardly  knows  when  Bangall  is  reached  or  wben  a 
is  left ;  but  still  the  name  is  there  and  has  been  for  a  long  time»  and 
about  it  and  try  to  explain  its  origin  in  various  ways.  The  writer  has 
eral  theories  that  attempt  to  account  for  it.  ^ 

Dr.  Davis  gives  this  story  in  his  history :  "Capt.  Benjamin  Hall  had  #  H^' 
at  the  Xoah  Pomero)  place,  which  in  those  days  was  a  place  of  great  RMtt 
parties  who  came  from  Middletown,  Durham  and  Wallingford.    One  night  4 
particular,  a  large  party  came  from  Middletown  and  kept  up  their  frolics  aB  ^''^ 
in  the  words  of  Captain  Hall,  'they  banged  all  creation":  from  which  ci 
came  the  name  of  Bangall.** 

Here  is  one  yam  that  was  told  by  its  narrator  to  the  writer  as  a  veracious 
count  of  the  origin  of  the  name :  Years  ago  a  man  in  the  Bangall  country 
Samuel  Baldwin  was  an  eccentric  character  who.  Instead  of  bursting  into  profamt 
when  stirred  by  excitement,  always  exclaimed,  '*bang  it  all,  bang  it  all." 
were  his  emotions  relieved,  and  thus  he  gave  a  name  to  the  neighborhood. 

Another  explanation  which  the  writer  heard  from  an  old  man  who  hai  ilu; 
lived  in  the  vicinity,  is  that  the  young  men  who  worked  in  the  Pomeroy  tin 
in  that  locality  were  so  noisy  and  boisterous  and  full  of  horse  play,  that 
arose  in  that  way.    In  fact,  one  can  hear  various  yarns  from  the  older  h 
but  they  all  agree  in  this  particular,  viz.  that  there  was  a  great  deal  of 
in  the  vicinitv. 

If  this  were  the  only  instance  of  the  use  of  the  word  Bangall  the  writer 
not  be  at  all  sceptical,  and  would  be  inclined  to  believe  this  derivation.  But. 
fortunately  for  these  various  explanations,  there  are  six  other  Bangalls^  all  locate 
in  New  York  state.   The  following  is  the  list ;  I 

Ikni-all  ]\  ()..  Dulchess  Co. 
Bangall  ( ( liiildcrsleevc  P.  (  >. ),  Albany  Co. 
P.anpall  ( 1  .ast  \>nice  P.  (  ).),  Cayuga  Co. 
Paiigall  rravl-.r  P.  ().),  Cortland  Co. 
r>aiiuall  (  l'ari^h  V.  (). ),  Oswego  Co, 
Batigall  (Easton  P.  O.),  Washington  Co. 

In  every  case,  except  the  first,  they  arc  all  hamlets  in  townships.

E.\RLY  HISTORY. 


The  writer  has  no  theory  to  offer  but  he  can  hardly  beheve  that  the 
Meriden  story  is  a  satisfactory  reason :  if  it  is,  then  \vc  must  assume  that 
the  "banging^"  habit  was  a  general  one  in  various  parts  of  the  country  at  some  time 
in  the  past.  It  seems  more  likely  that  it  is  an  old  place  name,  and  that  the  various 
)2ms,  oflfered  to  account  for  its  origin,  are  simply  developments  of  the  same  in- 
genuity which  would  explain  the  origin  of  the  word  Meriden  by  saying  that  it 
was  once  a  .Merry -den. 

Mr,  Berthold  Fcrnow,  the  official  translator  of  the  earlv  Dutch  records  of  Xew 


OLD  BRENTON,  OR  C.\SP.\R  II.\LL  PL.\CE. 

York,  and  a  man  of  profound  knowledge  of  early  colonial  Dutch  and  English, 
suggested  to  the  writer  that  perhajis  the  word  is  a  corruption  of  the  old  English 
place  name  of  fjagnall. 

But  whatever  the  origin  of  the  word,  it  is  certain  that  if  the  early  inhabitants 
of  the  east  part  of  Meriden  were  seeking  a  name  for  that  locality  which  would 
hxf  descriptive,  they  could  not  have  done  better  than  to  select  that  of  Hall 
Farms.  A  hundred  years  ago  it  would  have  been  perfectly  safe  to  address  any 
man  one  met  in  Bangall  as  Mr.  Hall.  Although  the  Baldwin  family  had  secured 
an  entering  wedge  on  the  west  side  of  the  locality,  their  i)resence  but  served  to

emphasize  the  prcdoiiiinance  of  the  name  of  Hall.  And  they  were  all  sdoos  ol 
the  ancient  Hall  stock  of  Wallingford. 

Perhaps  the  most  prominent  man  in  Meriden  and  certainly  of  his  name,  wi  eo 
the  town  was  incorporated  in  1806,  was  Brenton  Hall.  The  Hon.  Brenton  HaD 
he  was  called  and  he  was  a  worthy  representative  of  the  stock.  1 

He  was  born  in  Cheshire  April  2,  17381  and  was  a  son  of  Rev.  Samuel  of 
that  parish,  and  his  wife,  Ann,  the  daughter  of  Jonathan  Law,  governor  of  Cxyv 
necticut.  He  was  a  great-great-grandson  of  Governor  Brenton  of  Rhode  Islami 
Hence  his  name.  His  father,  Rev.  Samuel,  had,  at  an  early  date,  received  a  granl 
of  two  hundred  acres  in  Mcriden  parish,  in  the  extreme  eastern  part,  fronting  en 
the  north  on  old  Liberty  street.  The  farm  ran  dow  n  to  Black  Pond  on  the  souti 
and  adjoined  the  Middletown  line  on  the  east.  There  is  evidence  that  Brenton 
was  in  Mcriden  as  early  as  1760,  and  on  February  iS,  1762.  he  married  Lament 
the  daughter  of  Jonathan  Collins,  whose  old  house  has  already  been  pictured 
now  known  as  the  Samuel  Clark  place.  In  1767  his  father  presented  to  Broi 
ton  the  farm  of  200  acres  which  then  included  a  dwelling  and  other  buildings. 

The  house  is  said  to  have  been  built  by  Rev.  Samuel  for  his  son  at  about  th 
date  of  his  marriage,  viz.  1762.  A  year  or  two  ago,  this  dwcllinir.  which  was  fas 
going  to  decay,  was  pulled  down.  It  has  already  been  described  as  fronting  01 
old  Liberty  street,  several  hundred  feet  east  of  Preston  avenue,  at  the  top  of  th 
hill.    This  picture  is  a  reproduction  of  one  that  appeared  in  the  Hall  GencalogA 

According  to  the  "Hall  Ancestry,"  Brenton  Hall  was  a  man  of  dignified  b<:ii 
ing,  a  clear,  tlark  complexion,  briglit  intelligent  eyes,  and  dark  brown  llair.  H 
was  Meriden's  first  representative  to  the  General  Assembly,  and  had  aeted  in  iii 
capacity  for  the  town  of  Wallingford  previously,  and  was  largely  instranfiental  r 
having  Mcriden  set  oft  as  a  separate  township.  Brentmi  was  first  coujUi  of  Co 
.Street  Hall  of  Revolutionary  fame  and  first  cousin  of  Lyman  Hall,  a  signer  of  th 
Declaration  of  Independence,  and  during  the  Tryon  Invasion  of  New  HiBVcn  i 
1779,  Brontoti  as  ensign,  marched  with  a  company  of  Meriden  men  to  the  scene  0 
action.  He  was  twice  married,  his  second  wife  being  Widow  Abigail  Guy,  0 
Bran  ford. 

He  died  Xov.  25,  1820.  and  his  body  lies  buried  in  the  old  Broad  street  cemc 
tery.  His  son,  Caspar,  inherited  the  homestead  and  many  acres  of  the  farm  an 
Mrs.  Joseph  Morse,  of  Meriden,  is  one  of  his  children.  Collins  Hall,  the  seconi 
son  of  f'renton,  married  in  1795  and,  doubtless,  built  his  home  at  that  time.  I 
is  still  standmg  on  the  east  side  of  Pomeroy  avenue,  at  its  junction  with  East  Mai 
street  or  Middletown  turnpike. 

On  Xov.  9,  1796,  his  father  gave  him  a  farm  of  sixty  acres  "on  which  he  nn^ 
dwells,"  showinq:  that  the  house  was  then  built.    The  northwest  comer  of 
fann  is  stated  to  be  near  Constant  Miller's  mill  dam.    Collins  died  in  1849.  WTie

Another  son  of  Rrcnton.  Augustus,  was  given  a  farm  bv  his  father  that  fronted 
west  on  Preston  avenue,  and  the  house  he  buiU  is  still  standing  and  is  located 
'3nthat  avenue  on  the  east  side,  about  160  rods  north  of  East  Main  street.  Walter 
Hall,  the  son  of  Augustus,  lives  in  the  old  Ambrose  Hough  place,  at  the  corner  of 
Liberty  and  Broad  streets. 

At  the  junction  of  Pomeroy  and  Murdock  avenues  formerly  stood  a  very  old 
house  which  was  bought  and  lived  in  by  Xoah  Pomeroy  when  he  came  to  Meri- 
:den  about  18 16.  It  was  that  in  which  Captain  P>enjamin  A.  Hall  was  supposed 
to  have  kept  the  tavern  that  gave  the  section  the  name  of  Bangall.    Many  years

^0  the  Pomeroy  family  moved  the  old  dwelling  a  few  hundred  feet  east  of  its 
former  location  and  there  it  stands  to-day.    A  modern  house  occupies  the  old  site. 

It  has  lost  the  dignified  aspect  it  presented  when  it  stood  on  its  former  site

domain  of  the  Hall  family.  It  is  a  strange  fact  that  not  one  of  all  the  roads  in 
this  section  bears  the  name  of  Hall. 

But  before  we  leave  this  interesting  family  neighborhood,  there  is  another  Hall 
homestead  to  be  seen.  Just  as  we  reach  Baldwin  avenue,  on  the  west  side  of  the 
street,  is  the  wreck  of  an  old  house  that  is  in  a  most  pitiable  condition.  All  its  dig- 
nit>-  has  gone,  and  it  is  now  used  as  a  wood  house. 

As  in  the  case  of  .so  many  of  these  old  houses,  it  seems  to  have  grown  on  its 
site:  the  old  builders,  now  and  then,  combined  the  hai)j)y  faculties  of  harmony  of 
environment  and  utility.  They  frequently  nestled  their  houses  into  some  no<ik  or 
sheltered  spot,  in  a  way  that  is  pleasing  to  the  artistic  sense.

It  was  once  known  as  the  Mo.scs  Hall  place,  built  by  Phineas  for  his  son.  but 
just  when,  it  has  been  impossible  to  learn.  Moses  was  doubtless  the  soldier  in  the 
Revolution  of  that  name,  so  that  it  is  .safe  to  assume  that  the  house  has  a  flavor  of 
very  respectable  anti<iuity.  In  the  early  part  of  the  last  century  it  was  known  as 
the  Loyal  Booth  place. 

If  now  we  go  west  on  Baldwin  avenue,  we  come  within  half  a  mile  to  the 
homestead  of  Nathan  S.  Baldwin,  located  on  a  gentle  knoll,  where  a  sweep  of  the 
eye  takes  in  the  broad  meadows  to  the  south,  flanked  on  the  east  by  the  bold 
ranges  of  Higby  and  Beset  mountains.  To  the  north  lie  Mt.  Lamentation  and  the 
Notch  leading  to  Westfield  parish.  Here  Mr.  Baldwin  has  passed  his  life,  tilling 
the  meadows  of  the  farm  Innight  by  his  father.  Moses,  about  the  year  1815.  of

Timothy  Ives,  Timothy  was  a  carpenter  and  built  the  house  in  the  year  1798. 
Moses  was  a  son  of  James  who  came  from  Cheshire  in  1796  and  boug^ht  an 
interest  in  Hough's  Mills  in  that  year.  James  was  a  soldier  in  the  war  of  the 
Revolution. 

If  now,  after  leaving  Mr.  Baldwin's  house,  we  turn  north  on  Bee  street  until 
we  come  to  the  W'estfield  road  and  then  turn  west,  passing  the  mill  site  known 
as  Hough's  or  Baldwin's,  we  soon  come  to  l»road  street.  A  little  south  of  the  junc- 
tion stands  a  house,  No.  1065.  known  as  the  Asahel  Curtis  place.  In  it  were  born 
the  late  Geo.  R.  Curtis,  Mrs.  Robert  A.  Hallam  and  Asahel  Curtis,  Jr.  The  house 
was  built  probably  by  Joel  Yale  in  the  year  1807,  and  was  his  homestead  for  a  num- 
ber of  years,  until  he  moved  to  another  part  of  the  town.    It  was  originally  a  story

joining the  firm  of  Lewis  &  Curtis  for  a  number  of  years  manufactured  metal 
buttons,  but  in  181 8  the  firm  was  dissolved  and  Mr.  Curtis  became  the  sole  owner, 
and  shortly  after  moved  from  his  father's  (  Benjamin)  homestead  on  Curtis  street, 
with  his  wife  and  daughter  (Mrs.  Jennett  Clark)  and  here  passed  the  remainder 
of  his  life. 

Now  going  down  Britannia  to  Colony  street,  and  then  turning  up  Kensing- 
ton avenue,  we  come  within  a  few  hundred  feet  of  the  junction  to  an  old  house.

He  came  to  Meriden  from  Middletown  in  the  year  1770,  having  married  in  1765, 
Mary,  the  daughter  of  Divan  Berry,  whose  home  was  on  Miller  avenue,  as  already 
described.  Comfort  in  the  year  1770  bought  of  Josiah  Robinson,  Jr.,  a  tract  of 
seventeen  acres,  on  which  the  present  house  stands. 

The  southeastern  corner  of  the  fami,  according  to  the  deed,  began  at  a  "place 
known  as  Wolf  Swamp  pasture  bars."  The  swamp  north  of  the  tract  was  then 
known  by  that  name.  Although  there  have  been  several  additions  built,  still  the 
old  house  erected  in  1770  has  changed  very  little.  Comfort  was  a  shoemaker,  and 
probably  pursued  that  calling  in  Meriden.  and  carried  on  the  tanning  business  as 
well.  He  was  a  rival  of  .Moses  Mitchell,  who  ran  a  tanning  industry  in  the  hollow 
just  east  of  Meeting  House  hill. 


AS.AHEL  CURTIS  PLACE. 

Comfort's  son,  John,  was  afterwards  engaged  in  the  same  line  of  business,  and 
many  will  remember  his  tanyards  and  vats  that  were  once  located  on  Liberty 
street,  a  little  west  of  the  homestead  of  Walter  Hall.  .Xs  has  been  told,  land  in 
this  locality  was  once  a  part  of  the  old  Jerome  farm,  bought  by  Abel  Curtis  in  1771. 
On  March  15,  1796,  Abel  sold  to  John  Butler  and  William  Olds  a  piece  of  real 
estate  containing  thirty  rods,  and  these  men  immediately  began  a  partnershij)  on 
the  property,  of  tanning  and  dressing  leather.  They  continued  together  until  1804 
when  Butler  bought  out  Olds'  interest  and  carried  on  the  business  alone  until  well 
into  the  last  century,  and  was  a  successful  and  shrewd  man. 

Comfort  Butler's  family  and  descendants  were  numerous  and  prominent,  and

There  is  one  of  the  Yale  houses  still  standing  that  is  a  dignified  and  substantiji

Hills  Woods:  and  here  Giles  continued  to  live  until  1793  when  he  deeded  the  house 
and  farm  to  Archelaus  Allen,  who  had  previously  lived  on  a  farm  in  the  north- 
eastern part  of  Wallingford, 

The  house  is  interesting,  both  in  itself  and  on  account  of  those  who  were  bom 
and  lived  there.  In  the  year  1815  Archelaus  gave  the  house  to  his  son  Levi  and 
moved  towards  Meriden  center,  building  the  house  known  now  as  the  Griswotd 
place,  opposite  All  Saints'  church,  No.  198  West  Main  street,  where  he  died  a  few 
years  later.  The  dwelling  has  been  raised  or  the  street  cut  down  and  under  it  is 
a  Chinese  laundry. 

Levi  continued  to  live  in  the  old  homestead  and  here  were  born  his  children, 
the  late  John  Allen  in  1815,  a  successful  man  of  affairs  in  New  York  who  died  in 
Saybrook  in  1901,  the  late  William  Allen,  who  died  unmarried  in  New  York  in 
1874  and  who  was  a  successful  business  man  in  that  city,  and  the  late  Edward  C. 
Allen,  born  in  1823,  who  passed  his  life  in  Meriden  on  the  home  farm,  a  success- 
ful and  highly  esteemed  citizen,  and  died  in  1887.  He  built  the  home  east  of  the 
old  farm  house  and  the  delightful  hospitality  there  dispensed,  hallows  it  in  the 
memory  of  those  who  were  forttmate  enough  to  partake  of  it. 

Levi  Allen  had  bought  largely  of  surrounding  land  and  the  farm  was  conse* 
quently  an  extensive  one,  and  his  son,  Edward  C.  took  great  pride  in  its  manage- 
ment and  it  had  the  reputation  of  being  one  of  the  best  farms  in  the  county.  He 
was  a  man  of  influence  in  the  community  and  will  be  remembered  for  the  great 
interest  he  took  in  matters  musical  in  Meriden,  and  his  interest  in  the  First  Con- 
gregational church  was  always  deep.  For  years  he  sang  in  the  choir  and  was 
for  a  long  time  one  of  the  deacons. 

Levi  Allen  was  the  fifth  in  descent  from  Roger  Ailing,  who  came  to  Boston 
with  Rev.  John  Davenport  and  Theophilus  Eaton  from  England  in  1638,  and  with 
them  helped  found  and  settle  the  colony  of  New  Haven  in  the  same  year.  He 
was  the  first  treasurer  of  the  colonv. 

Perhaps  a  (|iiarier  of  a  mile  west  of  the  Oliver  Rice  homestead  is  a  house 
known  as  the  Calvin  Coe  place,  where  the  latter  for  many  years  lived  and  man- 
aged in  a  very  successful  manner  the  200  acres  that  surround  the  house.  Some 
twenty  years  or  more  ago  it  was  abandoned  as  the  home  of  the  family  and  the 
large  stone  mansi(»n  southwest  of  the  nld  place  was  built  by  .Andrew  J.  Coe,  and 
it  has  been  christened  as  the  Coe  Castle.  The  only  member  of  the  family  now 
left  in  .Meriden  is  VV infield  K.  Coe,  who  lives  in  a  house  somewhat  east  of  the 
Oliver  Rice  place. 

The  old  Coe  homestead  had  a  histr.ry  i)revious  to  its  becoming  the  dwelling 
of  Calvin  S..  for  in  1795  it  was  sold  by  Samuel  Rice  to  .\sa  Barnes,  who  caine 
here  from  Southington.  Samuel  was  cousin  to  Ezekiel  Rice,  who  served  in  the 
Revolutionary  war  and  for  nearly  100  years  this  farm  had  probably  been  Rice

property.  Asa  I'arnes  lived  here  for  a  number  of  years,  liis  son  I£li  inheriting 
the  farm  and  for  a  while  running  the  Andrews  mill. 

Finally  Kli  sold  the  farm  to  thenezer  i'eck,  a  retired  sea  captain  of  Xew  Ha- 
ven, who  niaile  this  place  his  summer  home.  He  had  been  one  t)f  the  old  line  of 
mariners  who  once  made  the  port  of  .\ew  Haven  famous.  He  died  in  i8iy  and 
the  administrator  of  his  estate  sold  the  farm  to  Calvin  Coe  in  1820. 

On  the  Coe  farm  in  the  corner  near  Allen  avenue  is  a  ([uarry  of  sandstone  of 
very  good  quality  that  was  once  quite  extensively  worked  lx)th  by  Mr.  Coe  and 
bv  his  jjredecessors :  the  stone  in  the  railroad  culvert  in  Valesville  came  from  this 
quarry,  and  doubtless  also  the  foundation  stones  of  many  of  the  old  houses  in 
Meriden.

CALVIN  COE  PLACE. 


Until  if  one  living  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Rice  or  Andrews  farms  wished 
to  go  to  Fall>  Plains  or  Hanover,  there  was  only  one  public  road  to  travel  and 
that  was  over  the  [iresent  highway  running  south  thmngh  this  Coe  farm  on  which 
the  stone  "C  astle  '  is  now  situated. 

To  be  sure,  the  sruithern  extremity  was  farther  east  than  at  present,  for  there 
was  then  no  dam  at  the  falls  or  rapids,  setting  the  waters  back  into  a  pond.  In 
the  year  mentioned  a  rf>ad  was  opened  running  south,  starting  just  west  of  the 
-Andrews  Mill,  and  going  through  to  Rice's  bridge,  which  was  exactly  i.^»50  feet 
south  of  Falls  Plains  bri<lge,  according  to  the  records.^  This  would  make  it  j^is- 
sible  for  a  surveyor  to  show  exactls  where  Rice's  bridge  was  located,  for  Falls

Plains  bridge  was  then  precisely  where  it  is  to-day,  viz.  adjoining  the  land  whert 
the  plant  of  the  Meriden  Cutlery  Co  is  now  located.    Evidently  Rice's  bridge 
either  washed  away  or  badly  damaged  during  a  flood  in  the  spring  of  1792,  for  al 
a  town  meeting  held  April  13  that  year,  the  question  for  consideration  was  whethcl 
the  town  would  replace  or  repair  several  bridges  carried  away  during  the  last] 
floods ;  they  voted  not  to  rebuild  or  repair  Rice's  bridge,  and  perhaps  Falls  Plaina 
bridge  was  built,  after  this  decision,  by  private  subscription.    The  present  oki 
house,  now  used  as  a  sal(X)n  and  facing  the  east  end  of  the  bridge^  occupies  th^ 
site  of  the  original  Justus  Rice  house,  built  perhaps  as  long  ago  as  1730.  The 
present  one  was  built  after  I7f)0  by  Justus,  Jr.    Rice's  bridge  was  for  many  years 
the  sole  approach  to  Falls  Plains  from  the  east  and  it  was  simply  the  continuation 
of  the  road  running  west  from  the  Robert  Rice  place,  now  called  Archer's.  ■ 


ASA  BRAY,  OR  BALDWIN  HOUSE. 


The  total  length  of  this  road  running  north  from  Rice's  bridge  to  Andrews' 
Mill  was  381  rods,  but  it  must  have  followed  a  private  way  or  path  already  in  e-x- 
istence,  for  on  it  were  standing  the  houses  of  Col.  Asa  Bray  and  Justus  Rice. 
The  year  following  the  layout  of  this  north  and  south  road,  viz:  1799.  a  highway 
was  built  running  west  from  Falls  Plains  bridge — the  present  Main  street  of 
Hanover.^  For  ninety-two  rods  west  from  the  bridge  the  road  ran  through  Rice 
property :  this  was  evidently  to  a  point  just  west  of  the  old  Chester  Rice  place. 

Just  south  of  the  entrance  to  Hanover  Park  stands  the  house  built  by  Col.  Asa

EARLY  HISTORY. 


Bray,  of  Southington,  in  the  year  1794:  he  had  just  bought  the  whole  of  the  old 
Whittlesey  farm  consisting  then  of  230  acres  which  ran  away  over  to  Town  Rock 
on  the  west,  its  south  side  skirting  the  river:  at  the  mouth  of  Harbor  Brook  he 
built  a  sawmill. 

The  colonel  saw  much  service  in  the  Revolution  and  attained  the  brevet  rank 
of  major,  receiving  his  colonel's  commission  after  the  war  was  over.  He  re- 
mained in  Meriden  only  six  years,  selling  his  farm  and  house  in  1800  to  Charles 
Baldwin  of  Woodbridge,  and  his  saw  mill  to  Joel  Cook.  Mr.  Baldwin  appar- 
ently employed  his  time  tilling  his  large  farm  and  lived  here  until  1818  when  he 
died. 


JULIUS  IVES  HOUSE. 

His  will  contained  a  bequest  of  $225  to  aid  in  building  a  Methodist  meeting 
house  in  Meriden  center:  his  property  was  valued  at  $15,000 — quite  a  large  sum 
at  that  time.  The  house  and  considerable  adjoining  land  continued  in  the  Bald- 
win family  for  many  years:  it  is  now  the  property  of  the  electric  railroad. 

The  tract  of  land  known  as  Falls  [Mains  or  Hanover,  boiintled  on  the  north  and 
cast  by  the  river,  was  at  first  divided  into  a  multiplicity  of  small  holdings  in  the 
vear  1689,  and  a  copy  of  the  map  of  this  land  division  has  been  printed  on  page  66. 
The  level  tract  extending  south  nearly  to  Yalesville,  was  also  included  under  this 
name,  and  as  there  were  only  two  roads  on  the  plain  and  very  few  houses,  it  is 
difficult  to  follow  intelligently  the  accumulation  into  farms. 

Robert  Rice,  whose  home  was  in  the  old  house  now  known  as  the  .Xrcher* 
place,  was  a  very  large  land  owner  and  apparently  acquired  nearly  all  the  northern

His  son,  Captain  Moses  Rice,  inherited  or  bought  of  the  other  heirs,  mo<T« 
this  land ;  towards  the  close  of  his  life  he  sold  the  homestead  to  John  Xoti  aa 
distributed  most  of  his  land  to  his  sons,  Abner,  Joel  and  Amos.  In  1783  he  .uii 
to  Abner  nine  acres  at  the  north  end  of  tlie  plain  which  probably  includetl  tfl 
site  of  the  Chester  Rice  place,  antl  on  the  death  of  Moses.  Abner  inherited  a  hrd 
tract  adjoining,  so  that  he  must  at  one  time  have  owned  nearly  the  whole  of  m 
north  end  which  had  previously  belonged  to  Robert  and  Moses,  father  and  sol

tract  of  land  up  the  hill  to  the  west,  where  he  at  once  built  a  house  that  is  .<tl 
standing,  and  in  a  fine  state  of  preservation  :  it  is  a  good  example  of  a  rooii 
comfortable  farmhouse  of  that  day. 

Abner  lived  there  until  1800  when  he  sold  the  farm  and  house  to  Abel  Sal 
ford,  of  Woodbridge.  In  1828  it  was  bought  by  Jesse  Ives,  the  grandfather  J 
Julius  and  the  late  Amos  Ives:  it  is  now  the  farm  of  the  former  and  it  is  orwl 
the  best  in  this  part  of  Xew  Haven  county  ;  everything  about  the  place  denod 
thrift  and  enterprise. 

Abner  Rice,  after  selling  the  farm  on  the  hill,  probably  built  the  house  no 
known  as  the  Chester  Rice  place  on  the  Main  street  in  Hanover,  and  his  5fl

the  house  docs  not  face  the  street  which  was  not  opened  until  1820. 

Away  back  in  the  early  part  of  the  last  century,  on  account  of  its  remoteness

lutionaiy  fame.  His  house  stood  in  the  spot  whkh  is  now  the  junction  of  Wall 
street  and  the  road  running  east  over  Cherry  hill  to  Gravel  street,  and  the  old 
well  can  still  be  seen  which  was  just  north  of  the  house.  Captain  Couch  came 
here  in  1746,  and  bought  roost  of  his  farm  of  Aaron  Lyman,  so  that  he  could  not 
have  been  a  young  man  when  the  war  broke  out,  which  doubtless  accounts  for  his 
short  term  of  service. 

VVALl.INGl  URD  AM)  MIDDLKTOWN  BOUNDARY  DISPUTE. 

Away  down  in  the  soutii western  corner  of  Middlefield,  on  top  of  Beset  moun- 
tain, once  stood  a  poor  old  cedar  tree  that  was  the  center  of  more  interest  in  Wal- 
lingford  and  Middletown  than  perhaps  any  other  point  in  the  two  townships. 
This  tree  marked  the  southwestern  corner  of  the  latter  place,  and  during  the  nti- 
merous  boundary  disputes  between  these  two  towns  everything  began,  centered 
and  ended  around  this  tree. 

When  the  bounds  of  Middletown  were  stated  at  a  meeting  of  the  General  Court 
March  11,  1652-53,  the  description  was  as  follows:  "This  court  grants  the  bounds 
of  Middletown  to  extend  four  miles  to  y®  South  from  y*^  meeting  house  and  five 
miles  from  y®  said  house  westward." 

In  other  words  the  court  defined  the  southwest  quarter  of  the  town  by  two  si«les 
of  a  rectangle ;  the  other  two  being  understood,  and  the  northwest  quarter  was 
defined  in  the  same  way. 

The  manner  m  which  the  soutliucsicni  corner  was  determined  was  by  draw- 
ing a  line  from  the  meeting  house  due  south  four  miles,  the  southern  terminus  be- 
ing marked  by  a  tree.  Thence  a  line  was  drawn  due  west  five  miles  to  the  notorious 
tree  on  Beset  Mountain. 

Had  the  court  not  divided  the  northern  hali  oi  Meriden  between  the  towns 
of  Farniington,  Wethersfield  and  Middletown  in  1687,  "to  plant  a  village  in." 
these  boundary  disputes  would  probably  never  have  taken  place :  but  the  division 
was  made  and  the  bitterness  of  feeling  engendered  between  Middletown  and 
Wallingford  was  so  great  that  each  accused  the  other  of  chicanery  and  shar\» 
practice,  and  the  matter  w  as  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  General  Court  manv* 
times,  and  was  not  decisively  settled  until  1773. 

The  dispute  was  first  brought  before  the  assembly  in  May,  1722,  when  Wal- 
lingford stated  that  whereas  Middletown's  west  boundar>'  should  extend  north 
from  the  cedar  tree  in  a  line  parallel  to  their  center  line,  they  had  so  manat^evl 
it  that  they  had  encroached  on  WalKngford's  territory  to  the  extent  of  three 
miles  and  more,  although  the  latter  town's  grant  from  the  court  had  given  tcrritorv* 
five  miles  east  of  the  Quinnipiac  river ;  and  as  a  consequence  there  was  only  left  to 
them  a  distance  of  one  mile  and  a  quarter  east  of  the  river. 

As  a  result  of  this  petition  the  General  Assembly  or  court  "Resolved  that  a 
north  line  by  the  needle  of  the  surveying  instalment  drawn  from  the  cedar  tree

vi2.  the  reputed  southwesterly  corner  bouTKhiry  mark  of  Middletown  shall  for- 
ever be  and  remain  the  divident  line  between  the  said  townships  provukU  always 
that  Middletown  have  liberty  with  the  assistance  of  the  county  surveyor  io  [ncas- 
nre  their  said  five  miles  from  their  meeting  house  west,  at  the  end  whereof  a 
wnh  and  south  line  sliall  determine  the  bounds  of  Wallingford.  providing  Mid- 
'iictown  take  the  benefit  of  measuring  said  five  miles  before  the  hrsi  of  May 
Dtxl,  and  give  seasonable  notice  to  Wallinpford  to  be  jjresent  al  ilie  measuring." 

Accordingly,  WaHinglord  procured  the  services  of  the  Xew  Haven  county 
sur\'e}or  and  ran  a  line  north  by  the  needle  from  the  cedar  tree  and  supposedly 
the  matter  was  settled. 

Rut,  unfortunately,  no.  At  the  October  session,  1726,  Middletown  appeared 
beiorc  the  court  and  asserted  that  Wallingford  by  *' false  misrepresentations  had 
obtained  a  (li>annulliug  of  their  west  line  to  Middletown's  great  loss"  and  pray- 
ing for  relief. 

Accordingly,  the  sheriff  was  sent  to  Wallingford  to  siunmon  the  inhabitants 
kfore  the  assembly :  Theophilus  Yale  acting  for  the  town  entered  appearance  and 
•  presumably)  presented  a  counter  petition  signed  by  four  Wallingford  men  who 
had  made  purchases  in  the  so-called  Country  or  Purchase  Lands,  and  the  matter 
was  apparently  dropped  for  the  time  being. 

At  the  October  session,  1729,  this  perennial  matter  again  came  before  the  as- 
sembly in  the  form  of  a  petition  from  Wallingford  stating  that  after  the  resolve 
of  the  Assembly  in  1722  they  had  procured  the  services  of  the  New  Haven  county 
surveyor  to  run  the  north  line  from  the  cedar  tree,  which  they  had  had  subse- 
quently verified  by  the  Fairfield  county  surveyor.  But  that  Middletown,  not  sat- 
isfied with  this  line,  had  procured  the  services  of  the  Hartford  county  surveyor 
who  had  so  run  the  line  that  he  had  given  to  Middletown  half  a  mile  of  Walling- 
ford territory ;  the  main  object  of  the  petition  was  to  ask  why  this  north  line  should 
not  nut  parallel  to  Middletovm's  center  line. 

An  examination  of  the  map  will  show  that  all  this  disputed  land  was  in  what 
is  now  the  territory  of  the  town  of  Meriden.  The  cause  of  the  difference  in  the 
lines  as  run  by  the  several  county  surveyors,  was  a  variation  in  the  needles  of  the 
instruments.  A  difference  of  one  or  two  d^frees  at  the  cedar  tree  would,  of 
course,  cause  a  great  discrepancy  when  a  point  as  far  north  as  old  Liberty  street 
was  reached  by  the  north  line.  When  the  matter  was  brought  to  a  vote,  the  up- 
per house  declared  that  Wallingford*s  petition  was  a  reasonable  one:  but  the  lower 
boase  voted  in  the  negative. 

In  the  meantime  a  dispute  between  Middletown  and  Farmington  relating  to 
boundary  lines,  had  broken  out  and  the  services  of  two  surveyors,  David  Good- 
rich and  Thomas  Seymour,  had  been  employed  in  1725  to  affix  the  southeast  cor- 
ner of  Farmuigton  which  adjoined  at  that  time  the  northwest  comer  of  Middle-

town.  The  latter  town  was  not  satisfied  with  the  line  as  nm,  probably  because  the 
surveyors  after  locating  the  corner  had  drawn  a  line  south  to  old  Liberty  street  to 
mark  the  west  boundary  of  Middletown  adjoining  W'allingford.  An  attempt  on 
the  part  of  Middleto.\vn  to  rcnieasure  this  line  between  her  bounds  and  those  of 
Famiington  was  frustrated  by  a  man  namol  Hezekiah  Hart,  who  refused  to  allow 
the  surveyors  to  cross  his  farm ;  several  times  the  attempt  to  remeasure  was  re- 
sumed, but  each  time  Hezekiah  said  "No!  you  cannot  cross  my  farm":  and  ap- 
parently acting  within  his  rights,  for  no  penalty  or  punishment  resulted  to  the 
doughty  farmer.  , 

Then  the  dispute  between  Middletown  and  Wallingford  began  again,  and 
dragged  its  wearv  length  along  and  finally  aid  of  the  Assembly  was  invoked  for 
Middletown  had  taken  the  matter  in  her  own  hands  and  rerun  her  western  bound 
and  then  sued  Wallingford  s  selectmen  in  the  sum  of  £5  each  for  not  perambu* 
iating  the  bounds  with  her.  Wallingford,  in  concluding  her  appeal  in  1734,  said 
''your  honors  have  found  a  remedy  for  other  towns  in  like  predicament  so  please 
allow  the  line  of  Xew  Haven  county  surveyor  to  stand  which  is  nearest  the  true 
line  or  else  settle  the  tine  yourself.'*  Accordingly,  ^liddletown  was  summoned  to 
answer  the  complaint  or  petition,  but  the  upper  and  lower  branches  of  the  As- 
sembly were  unable  to  agree  on  a  decision  and  the  matter  was  referred  to  the 
May  session,  1735. 

As  usual,  the  lower  house  agreed  with  Middletown  at  the  May  session  and  the 
argument  in  her  behalf  was  as  follows:  "the  assembly  in  1722  acted  with  the  ut- 
most care  and  caution  and  enacted  that  the  dividing  line  between  Middletow^n  and 
Wallingford  shall  be  a  line  north  by  the  needle  from  the  cedar  tree,  with  a  proviso 
that  Middletown  may  extend  a  west  line  from  their  meeting  house  five  miles,  and 
^n  y*  extent  of  that,  a  north  and  south  line  to  determine  Wallingford  bounds,  with 
a  further  prpviso  y^  Middletown  should  take  the  benefit  thereof  before  the  first 
of  May  next  coming ;  in  relation  to  which  we  observe  first  y*  act  or  judg^  is  ab- 
solute and  proviso  is  only  a  liberty  granted  to  Middletown  and  if  only  a  liberty 
then  not  necessary  for  *till  liberty  and  necessity  can  be  blended  together  and  con- 
sidered as  synonymous  words  or  things,  we  cant  understand  that  Middletown  was 
obliged  to  measure  their  five  miles  to  establish  their  north  line  by  the  needle. 
2**ly  if  Middletown  were  lai<l  un<ler  a  necessity  of  carrying  out  their  five  mile  line 
then  they  were  obliged  to  defeat  their  grant  to  establish  it  which  is  a  contradic- 
tion/' etc.,  etc. 

The  upper  house  to«ik  an  opi)Osite  view  and  said  "since  Middletoun's  extent 
gives-  them  their  width  of  five  miles  west  from  their  center  line  through  the  meet- 
ing linusc.  then  tiic  hounds  between  the  two  towns  should  1h  a  line  paralel  to  the 
center  line,  and  when  tlu  a>sctnhly  say  upon  a  certain  condition  that  a  north  line 
by  the  needle  from  the  cedar  tree  shall  be  the  dividing  line,  it  is  upon  a  supposition

Ai^ain,  at  tlic  October  session.  1735,  W'allingford  stated  that  "Middletown  did

ticedle  bv  which  their  center  and  other  lines  were  run.  If  sufficient  authority  was 
not  gfiven  to  cither  party  by  the  act  of  1722  to  run  and  ascertain  the  line,  then  your 
fionors  should  now  appoint  some  suitable  person  or  persons  to  perform  it  and  that 
>xm  should  supply  what  is  wanting  in  s^  act  by  determining  by  what  needle  the  s^ 
line  shall  be  run.  If  there  be  more  compasses  than  one  in  the  world,  and  they  dif- 
fer from  one  another,  and  the  act  doth  not  determine  by  which  of  them  the  lines 
should  be  run  its  necessary  then  the  act  should  be  explained  by  declaring  the  par- 
ticular needle  by  which  it  should  be  performed,  otherwise  h  must  forever  remain 
uncertain  which  of  them  was  intended.'* 

Wallingfi^rd  was  insistent  to  gain  what  she  considered  her  rights  and  again 
brought  in  a  petition  in  1 736;  such  persistence  could  not  be  withstood  and  the 
General  Assembly  finally  at  the  October  session  enacted  the  following :  "It  appears 
that  this  Assembly  at  their  sessions  October  11,  1722,  did  order  that  a  north  line 
from  the  cedar  tree  to  be  run  by  the  needle  of  the  survex  ing  instrument  should 
divide  said  towns  and  thereupon  Wallingford  procured  the  surveyor  of  New  Ha- 
ven county  to  run  said  line,  and  afterwards  Middletown  procured  the  surveyor  of 
Hartford  county  to  run  said  line,  and  also  that  neither  of  said  lines  passeth  right 
between  said  towns:  that  by  New  Haven  county  surveyor  taking  from  Middle- 
town  and  that  run  by  Hartford  county  surveyor  taking  from  Wallingford,  It  is 
now  ordered  by  this  Assembly  that  the  line  dividing  said  towns  shall  be  a  line 
ran  from  the  said  southwest  corner  of  Middletown,  parallel  to  their  center  line 
as  far  northward  until  it  intersects  the  south  line  [Liberty  street]  of  those  lands 
called  the  Purchase  Lands,  and  that  then  the  line  already  ordered  by  this  assem- 
bly for  the  east  line  of  said  Purchase  Lands  shall  divide  said  towns.** 

The  line  was  accordingly  run  on  November  25, 1736. 

When  it  had  been  finally  decided  as  above  the  towns  of  Farmington,  Middle- 
'•»wn  and  Wethersfield  called  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  to  the  fact  that  the 
p  urchase  Lands  now  definitely  given  to  Wallingford  had  been  allotted  to  them 
m  1687,  *nd  asked  damages  for  their  loss:  but  the  Assembly  absolutely  refused 
to  grant  any  remuneration. 

One  would  be  pardoned  for  believing  that  the  matter  was  at  last  decided  for- 
ever and  that  no  further  disputes  could  possibly  arise ;  but  such  was  not  the  case. 

At  the  May.  1742,  sessbn  of  the  General  Assembly  ten  Middletown  men  pre-

sented  a  petition  stating  that  by  the  new  line  established  in  1736  their  town  had 
lost  some  fifteen  hundred  acres,  which  had  been  distributed  to  them  and  their 
ancestors  as  early  as  1671.  .That  the  Assembly  did  in  1680  grant  to  Mr.  Samuel 
Stieet  of  Wallingford  a  farm  of  200  acres  which  was  bounded  on  the  east  by  the 
old  Middletown  line  which  was,  therefore,  recognised  at  that  time.  But  now  cer- 
tain Wallingford  proprietors  claim  the  land  formerly  granted  to  the  petitiooers 
lying  between  the  old  and  new  west  lines  of  Middletown ;  therefore,  they  ask  the 
Assembly  to  sell  the  rights  to  them  or  else  give  them  the  right  to  sue  the  Wal- 
lingford holders.  This  was  essentially  a  private  petition,  but,  nevertheless,  it  was 
just  as  serious  for  the  Wallingford  holder  of  the  land  in  question  as  if  it  were  the 
act  of  Middletown. 

Accordingly,  the  sheriff  of  New  Haven  county  served  notice  on  Samuel  Hall 
(father  of  Rev.  Theophilus)  Thomas  and  Daniel  Hall,  Ebenezer  Prindle,  Israel 
Hall,  Jobe  Camp,  Daniel  Baldwin,  John  Way,  Jehiel  Baldwin  and  Rev.  Samuel 
Hall,  of  Cheshire,  to  appear  in  Hartford  and  make  answer  to  the  complaint.  Their 
answer  was  apparently  satisfactory  for  the  petition  was  refused. 

The  names  of  the  property  owners,  however,  give  a  clue  as  to  how  much 
of  East  Meriden  was  originally  claimed  by  Middletown  until  the  Assembly  de- 
cided the  matter  in  1736.  Their  old  west  line  must  have  been  located  as  far  west 
as  Bee  street. 

Again,  in  1757,  Wallingford  presented  a  petition  which  proved  abortive ;  but 
in  it  occurs  a  clause  which  gives  a  glimpse  of  what  had  been  going  on  for  years : 
it  is  as  follows:  "Since  which  endless  law  suits  have  been  and  still  subsist  to  the 
impoverishing  and  almost  total  ruin  of  many  persons  and  families  in  this  day  of 
great  and  necessary  expense  against  foreign  invaders.'' 

In  1771,  Wallingford  again  appeared  before  the  Assembly  and  stated  that  Mid- 
dletown's  southwest  comer  was  now  in  dispute,  and  prayed  that  a  ''committee  mig^ht 
be  appointed  to  repair  to  the  spot  and  ascertain  the  true  location ;  for  adjoining 
property  owners  have  been  in  long  and  expensive  quarrels  and  disputes ;  courts 
and  juries  having  been  much  perplexed  with  disputes,  sometimes  giving:  judge- 
ments in  favor  of  one  claim  and  sometimes  in  favor  of  the  contrary  claim,  and 
still  s^  disputes  continue  to  the  great  detriment  of  the  public  and  also  to  the  preju- 
dice of  particular  persons." 

rhercforc,  a  committee  was  sent  to  the  spot  which  made  a  report  to  the  Oc- 
tober, 1773,  session  of  the  General  Assembly,  stating  that  the  cedar  tree  on  top  of 
Besit  mountain  was  now  lost,  and  some  now  claimed  that  a  rock  oak  tree  marked 
the  comer,  and  others  a  heap  of  stones  seventy  or  eighty  rods  north  of  the  oak  tree. 
The  committee  made  various  measurements,  took  the  statements  or  depositions  of 
several  aged  men.  and  decided  that  the  rock  oak  marked  the  original  southwest 
comer  of  Middletown.   Accordingly,  the  Assembly  adopted  the  report  and  oon-

EARLY  HISTORY. 


firmed  the  rock  oak  as  staiuling  in  the  true  spot  and  henceforth  no  more  was 
heard  of  W  allingford  and  Middlctown  boundary  disputes. 

The  foregoing  account  is  an  abridgment  of  a  great  qtiantity  of  manuscript  doc- 
uments on  file  in  the  volumes  entitled  "Towns  and  Lands,"  preserved  in  the  State 

Library  at  Hartford. 

Many  times  in  this  book  has  occurred  the  word  Beset  as  applied  to  the  moun- 
tain l\  ing  cast  of  Black  Pond  and  extending  south,  through  Wallingford  to  Bran- 
lord.  Its  northern  terminus  is  the  pass  through  which  the  turnpike  to  Middle- 
town  runs :  this  pass  was  once  known  as  Royce's  Notch.  The  old  records  have 
three  forms  for  this  word,  viz.  Beseck,  Besit  and  Beset,  and  it  is  doubtless  a  short- 
ening of  the  word  Mattabeset — ^the  Indian  name  for  Middletown. 

Mount  Lamentation  derives  its  name  from  a  romantic  and  rather  distressing 
incident  in  the  life  of  one  of  the  early  inhabitants  of  Wethersiield ;  the  most  plaus- 
ible verskm  appears  in  Stiles'  History  of  Ancient  Wethersfield,^  and  is  as  foUows: 

"Mr.  Leonard  Chester's  Adventure — Prominent  among  the  old-time  legends 
with  which  Wethersfield  mothers  and  nurses  were  wont  to  regale  their  children, 
was  this  'o'er  true  tale.' "  Sometime*  presumably  in  the  fall  of  1636  he  set  out 
akme  (as  Tradition  saith)  to  seek  a  suitable  site  for  a  grist-mill  which  he  proposed 
to  build»  on  the  stream  which  flows  through  the  south  part  of  the  town/'  "His 
exploration  took  him  or  would  naturally  do  so,  to  near  the  source  of  the  stream, 
southwest  of  the  village  of  Griswoldville  of  the  present  day.  This  whole  section 
traversed  by  the  stream,  was,  of  course,  then  an  unbroken  wilderness."  "Before 
the  young  explorer  had  made  much  progress  on  his  return  journey  as  to  strike  upon 
any  well  defined  trail  or  path  which  he  might  follow  in  the  dark,  night  had  fairly 
ckised  upon  him,  and  he  entirely  lost  his  bearings  for  even  the  north  polar  star 
was  shut  out  from  his  sight  by  the  dense  foliage.  So,  when  at  last  day  broke,  he  was 
really  further  away  from  his  home  than  when  he  had  started  to  return  to  it.*'  *'In 
the  meantime,  his  neighbors  at  Pyquaug  [Wethersfield]  had  become  alarmed  at 
Us  absence,  and  parties  with  drums,  muskets,  pails  and  pans  of  tinware,  copper  or 
brass — anything,  in  fact,  with  which  to  make  noisy  sounds  and  signals — had  be- 
gun to  search  the  woods  in  all  directions.  It  was  not,  however,  until  the  third  day 
after  he  left  his  home/*  "that  he.  was  found  and  in  fact  rescued  from  starvation  by 
bis  friends.  In  his  uncertainty  as  to  his  whereabouts  and  place  of  destination,  Ches- 
ter had  dragged  himself,  with  failing  strength  and  in  famished  condition,  to  the 
summit  of  a  mountainous  peak  or  ridge  in  the  extreme  southeast  part  of  what  is 
now  Berlin^  township.  From  that  place,  a  distance  which  measured  in  a  straight 
line  would  be  very  near  twelve  miles  from  where  he  started,  he  hoped  to  be  able 
to  see,  if  he  might  not  be  able  to  reach  the  little  settlement  which  held  all  that 
was  dear  to  him.   The  result  was  more  fortunate  than  he  had  expected.  From

that  elevation,  he  was  able,  for  the  first  tjme,  to  hear  the  noises  and  calls  of  his 
friends,  and  (what  must  ever  be  considered  a  most  remarkable  turn  of  chance) 
he  descended  in  the  direction  whence  these  noises  proceeded,  and  found  himself 
safe  and  unharmed  in  the  hands  of  his  rescuers.  Fortunately,  he  had  met  no  In« 
dians,  and  though  he  had  heard  the  howls  of  wolves  and  the  screams  of  cata- 
mounts, he  had  not  been  followed  or  attacked  b}-  either.  It  was  in  memory  of  this 
«vent,  which  might  have  proved  almost  a  public  calamity,  that  the  elevation  in 
question,  received  and  has  ever  since  retained,  the  historic  name  of  *Mount  Lam> 
entation.' 

Another  version  of  Mr.  Chester's  adventure  t  in  l  in  Rev.  Charles  A.  Good- 
rich's "Stories  of  the  History  of  Connecticut,"  pulilished  in  1829:  but  the  story  is 
so  embellished  with  fanciful  pictures  of  Mr.  Chester's  emotions  and  prayers,  that 
it  is  easy  to  sec  tiiat  it  was  written  for  the  amusement  of  very  young  persons. 

In  Barber's  "Conn.  Historical  Collections,"  the  story  is  given  in  an  abridged 
fonu,  and  the  statement  is  made  that  a  unicorn  or  gnffin  carved  on  Mr.  Chester's 
tombstone  was  believed  by  some  to  have  been  one  of  the  animals  seen  by  him  on  Mt. 
Lamentation  :  it  was.  of  course,  a  part  of  his  coat  of  arms. 

Just  ca?;t  of  Murdock  and  Pomeroy  avenues  in  the  eastern  part  of  Menden  is 
quite  a  high  elevation  which  was  once  known  as  Bowing  hill.  The  name  seems 
now  to  be  entirely  forgotten. 

There  arc  very  few  .  if  any.  Indian  names  preserved  in  this  locality  with  the 
exception  of  P.e-ct  and  Quinnipiac.  the  latter  used  to  describe  the  river  in  the 
southwciteni  |)art  of  the  town.  It  was  formerly  known  as  New  Haven  Kast 
River  and  sometimes  called  W'ailingford  River.  In  Morse's  American  Clazetteer 
|nil.li<hed  in  1797  the  statement  is  made  that  the  old  Indian  name  for  the  town- 
ship of  Wallingtord  was  Coginchauge.

CHAPTER  XIX. 

l8o(j — THE  TOWN  OF  MEKIDKN. 

In  the  year  1750  the  total  population  of  the  parish  of  Meriden  could  not  have 
numbered  more  than  250  souls,  and  during  many  years  therr  ift(  r  the  increase  was 
ven*  slow.  Few  moved  into  the  parish  and  after  the  Frt  ncb  and  Indian  war. 
there  began  that  steady  drifting  into  far  away  cotninnntties  in  the  northwestern 
parts  of  the  colony,  into  western  Massachusets  and  Vermont  and  later  into  New 
V  rk  state,  a  phenomenon  common  all  through  the  longer  settled  parts  of  New 
I{ngland. 

Therefore,  the  parish  did  not  ^ei  the  full  advantage  of  its  birth  rate  which  was, 
of  course,  large;  but  after  the  Revolution  a  slow  but  steady  growth  began  which 
^  nowhere  better  indicated  than  in  the  records  of  real  estate  transactions  on  the 

ImmjUs  of  the  tmvn  of  Wallingford. 

Even  at  the  close  of  the  Revolution  there  could  not  have  been  a  population  of 
more  than  500  :  but  when  the  town  was  incorporated  in  iSoT)  the  indications  point 
to  a  community  oi  }ierhaps  1, 100;  it  was  more  than  half  as  large  as  the  older 

parish  of  Wallingford. 

The  example  of  Cbcsliire.  which  was  set  off  as  a  sej)arate  town  in  1780,  was 
<  ne  that  the  parish  of  .Menden  was  eager  to  enudate.  and  accordingly,  the  inhabi- 
tants came  together  at  the  meeting  house  on  April  12,  1786.  and  appointed  Cape. 
'>an  Collins.  Sanuiel  Whiting  and  Capt.  John  Couch  agents  to  present  a  memorial 
t  'lhc  General  Assemlily  praying  that  the  parish  might  be  constituted  a  town  and 
annexed  to  Middlesex  county  ;  this  document  is  as  follows : 

**The  Petition  of  the  Inhabitants  of  the  Parish  of  Meriden  in  the  Town  of 
Wallingford  and  County  of  Xew  Haven,  humbly  sheweth:  That  from  the  Court 
House  m  Xew  Haven,  the  Southern  part  of  Said  parish  is  Distant  about  Seven- 
teen Miles,  and  the  Xorthern  part  of  it  Twenty  three:  and  from  the  Court  House 
in  .Middletown  in  the  County  of  Middlesex,  the  eastern  limits  of  S**  parish  is  Dis- 
tant but  about  five  miles  and  its  western  limits  about  eleven  and  from  the  Southern 
part  of  said  Parish  to  the  Town  is  four  miles,  and  from  the  northern  part  about 
eleven.  That  the  Lists  of  Said  parish  is  about  £8000.  And  in  attending  upon 
the  Ordinary  Business  of  the  Town,  Proxys,  Town  Meetings  &c  and  upon  their 
Business  at  the  County  and  Superior  Courts,  the  Inhabitants  of  S*  parish  arc  sub- 
jected to  great  trouble,  inconvenience  &  expence,  from  which  they  would  be  free'd 
if  constituted  a  Distinct  Town,  and  annexed  to  the  Countv  of  Middlesex.  Where-

fore  your  petitioners  pray  your  Honours  to  take  their  case  into  your  wise  and  equi-

County  of  Middlesex,  and  that  the  Inhabitants  have  all  the  rights  and  privi-

John  Couch,  Saml  Whitinjx  Dan  Collins 

Agents  in  behalf  of  the  Society." 

The  older  parish  had  no  desire  to  \oi>c  tiie  growing  society  at  the  north  and 
they  met  in  town  meeting  on  May  9,  1786,  and 

''Voted  that  this  meeting  will  oppose  the  Parish  of  Meriden  being  a  Town. 
Chose  OA  Street  Hall  agent  to  remonstrate  against  the  Petition  of  the  Parish  of 
Meriden  being  made  a  Town  at  the  next  General  Assembly." 

The  petition  was  not  q;rantcd.  and  matters  remained  quiescent  until  i  704  when 
on  Sept.  29  at  a  meeting  of  the  parish  it  was  "voted  that  the  Society  be  made  a 
town  and  annexed  to  Middlesex  County.  \''ntcd  to  call  a  town  meeting  for  tbe 
purpose  and  a  committee  be  api)ointed  to  obtain  a  map  of  the  society  and  tran- 
sact any  business  respecting:  the  society  beini;  made  a  town." 

The  matter  was  postponed  by  a  town  meeting  until  the  following  year,  and  on 
Sept.  7.  1705.  the  parish  of  .Meriden  "  V  oted  that  the  Society  wish  to  be  a  separate 
town  and  belong  to  Middlesex  County.  V'oted  to  petition  the  General  .\<se!ii!)lv 
and  chose  a  committee  of  five  persons  to  present  it."  .\  like  vote  was  passed  on 
Sept.  22  the  same  year,  and  the  matter  was  finally  comjiromised  by  agreeing  m 
town  meeting  that  one-third  of  the  Town  and  Selectmen's  meetings  should  be 
held  in  the  parisb  of  Meriden. 

But  this  was  a  mere  truce  and  makeshift,  and  the  inhabitants  of  Meriden  were 
<letermined  that  the  pari.sli  should  be  a  separate  township,  and  accordingly  a  peti- 
tion dated  February  14,  1S04,  was  circulated  and  found  ready  signers  and  was 
presented  to  the  May  .session  of  the  General  Assembly  that  year.  The  town  of 
Wallingford  at  a  meeting  held,  exclusive  of  the  inhabitants  oi  Meriden  parish, 
voted  not  to  approve  the  petition  :  but  the  following  year,  as  it  was  ."^een  that  it  was 
hopeless  to  keep  u\)  a  continual  uppositiitu  to  the  desires  of  Meriden.  it  was  vutci! 
to  refer  the  matter  tu  a  committee  selected  from  Wallingford  or  first  societv  an>i 
Meriden.  and  as  a  result  a  report  was  drawn  uj)  agreeing  to  the  separation  an<l 
the  following  vote  was  passed  at  a  town  meeting  held  Sept.  18,  1805;  "Thereupon 
it  was  voted  that  this  Meeting  do  accept  and  approve  of  the  same ;  and  said  report 
be  lodged  in  the  Town  Clerk's  Office.**

Accordingly,  it  was  resolved  that  Meriden  should  be  a  separate  town  and  the

from  the  eastern  boundary  of  the  parish  to  the  ledge  west  of  the  Belcher  farm

Whether  Mose»  Barns  shall  be  allowed  to  vote  in  this  meeting  and  \  oted  in  the 
negative.  Amos  White,  Town  Clerk. 

Meriden  June  i6th  1806. 

And  now  at  last  Meriden  was  one  of  that  "  federation  of  independent  towns  en- 
dowed with  all  the  attrihutcs  of  sovereignty  not  ex{)ressly  granted  to  the  General 
Court"  of  the  state  of  Connecticut.  The  long  .slrugi;lc  was  ended,  and  tlie  town 
could  now  grow  and  expand,  unhampered  by  the  vexatious  conditions,  inseparable 
from  its  former  state  of  suburban  parish  of  a  larger  community. 

Meriden  must  have  been  very  priniitive  in  appearance  even  at  as  late  a  date 
as  1806:  it  still  retained  its  distinctive  feature  of  a  territory  parceled  out  into 
farms :  to  be  sure,  there  was  the  beginning  of  a  village  settlement  in  the  vicinity 
of  the  Meeting  House,  for  the  advantage  of  locatii^  near  the  common  center  had 
appealed  to  those  who  gained  their  livelihood  by  other  than  agricultural  pursuits . 
notably  Ambrose  Hough  the  miller,  Butler  &  Olds  the  tanners ;  Amos  White  & 
Co.  and  Curtis  &  Lewis,  who  were  storekeepers  and  sold  everything  from  a  spool 
of  thread  to  a  gallon  of  rum ;  and  Seth  D.  Plum  and  Dr.  Insign  Hough,  the  tav- 
ern keepers.

But  the  real  central  pivot  was  the  tavern  kept  by  Dr.  Insign  Hough  at  the 
comer  of  Broad  and  East  Main  streets:  here  Avere  the  headquarters  of  the  scleci- 
cn  and  other  town  officers ;  here  the  books  of  the  public  lilirary  were  kept  and 
re  the  farmers  met  to  discuss  the  events  of  the  day :  and,  last  but  not  least,  here 
twice  a  day  the  stage  coaches  from  Hartford  to  New  Haven  and  vice  versa,  stoi)ped 
to  change  horses  and  to  give  the  passengers  a  chance  to  sample  the  iKxmtiful 
larder  provided  by  the  doctor. 

In  the  old  days  when  the  tavern  was  in  its  prime,  and  still  the  center  of  the 
quiet  little  village,  many  a  merrymaking  was  held  around  its  generous  hearth, 
and  hilarious  fun  flowed  fast  and  free  from  honest  hearts  untainted  by  the  guile 
and  sham  that  often  mar  conviviality  of  these  modem  days. 


And  when  the  annual  town  meetings  and  elections  drew  near,  hot  were  the 
uordy  battles  that  resounded  through  the  rooms  in  the  eager  attempt  to  change 
some  wavering  vote:  for  Meriden  was  so  close  a  town,  that  one  man  convinced, 
sometimes  spaimed  the  distance  between  defeat  and  victory. 

Linus  Birdsey,  who  carries  lightly  his  more  than  fourscore  years,  remembers 
those  old  days,  when,  youngster  like,  he  would  hover  on  the  fringe  of  a  group  of 
old  political  Nestors,  and  listen  to  words  of  wisdom  and  prophecy  that  unfolded 
the  hide<jus  destiny  of  the  Republic  if  it  wavered  frojn  the  good  old  Democratic 
I'iith  and  followed  the  strange  new  gods  of  the  renegade  Whigs. 

Another  group  he  recalls  of  only  five,  called  the  Old  Guard :  survivors  per- 
liaps  of  a  larger  circle :  men  of  wit  and  weight  who  had  lived  and  learned :  and

A  CENTURY  OF  MERID&N. 


yet  in  the  evening  of  their  lives  with  vigor  little  changed,  and  with  capacity  for 
fun  as  keen  as  ever,  they  would  meet  at  stated  dates  and  live  again  the  old  days 
in  retrospect,  whiling  away  the  hours  with  story  after  story  of  other  times :  and 
perhaps  now  and  then  a  spoon  would  tinkle  in  a  glass  with  a  melody  most  be- 
witching :  but  of  this  the  writer  cannot  tell  as  he  was  never  there.  He  only  knows 
that  he  has  heard  that  one  cold  night  when  the  hour  was  late,  and  the  time  had 
come  to  say  good  night,  one  of  the  famous  guard  left  his  friends,  wended  his  way 
to  his  home  and  had  snugly  tucked  himself  in  bed  before  he  remembered  his  pa^ 
tient  nag  left  tied  in  the  tavern  shed  more  than  a  mile  away. 

The  turnpike  was  opened  in  1799  and  the  event  was  hailed  with  as  much  joy 
and  created  as  great  excitement  as  did  the  railroad  thirty-eight  years  later. 

The  layout  of  this  highway  was  adopted  in  by  the  General  Assembly  on 
the  petition  of  Senator  Hillhouse  and  others  and  work  was  immediately  begun. 
The  damages  awarded  to  property  owners  at  the  time,  and  recorded  in  a  volume, 
preserved  in  the  office  of  the  secretary  of  state  in  Hartford,  make  it  possible  for 
us  to  eliminate  the  hundred  years  that  separate  our  day  from  that  of  1806,  and 
start  at  Ann  street  and  walk  north,  noting  the  different  houses  just  as  one  might 
have  done  a  century  ago. 

First  we  would  have  seen  over  on  Curtis  street,  the  old  Parson  Hall  house,  oc- 
cupied by  his  grandson,  Dr.  Theophilus  Hall,  and  north  of  that,  on  the  other  side 
of  Ann  street,  the  Daniel  Hough  place,  and  north  of  that  the  Benjamin  Curtis 
homestead,  where  the  old  man  and  his  family  were  still  living,  and  a  few  hundred 
feet  further  on,  the  new  house,  the  residence  of  his  son  Benjamin,  Jr.,  while  just 
across  the  road  we  would  have  observed  the  Capt.  John  Webb  (levelling,  and  back  of 
that,  and  fronting  on  Broad  street  (the  new  turnpike),  his  nephew,  Benjamin 
Hart's  new  house  (now  the  liome  of  Mrs.  Juliette  Y.  Curtis).  Just  north  of  this 
j)!are.  in  the  fork  of  the  roads  (anil  surrounded  on  all  sides  by  highways,  for  the 
mad  nmiiiiiL:  west  to  Colony  street,  already  described,  was  still  in  existence),  stood 
the  home  of  \inasa  Curtis,  in  wliicli  he  and  Isaac  Lewis  kept  store.  Across  the 
street  to  the  west  and  a  little  north  was  Seth  D.  PUini's  tavern. 

All  the^<.'  places  have  hctn  described  before,  and  the  risk  of  repetition  has  been 
run  so  that  the  \  icw  ui  the  villai^c  street  nia\  be  made  clear  in  one's  mind.  Al- 
most opposite  the  I'lnm  place  on  the  ea>t  side  of  the  street  bnt  a  little  to  the  north. 
>i<»od  the  Jereiniali  i'arrington  liomestead,  which,  although  much  altered,  is  still 
standing,  and  now  the  dwelling  of  Frederick  W.  Ives,  Xo.  391  I'mad  street. 

When  this  street  or  turnpike  was  cut  tiirough  it  left  the  honse  oi  Samuel 
Yale  in  a  peculiar  pliirht.  He  liad  bought  a  lot  on  the  east  side  of  Curtis  street 
which  then  ran  north  and  cunlinucd  down  to  TJberty  street.  It  is  ditlicnlt  to  pic- 
ture in  one's  mind  just  the  situation*  the  hon^e  nni>t  have  stood  so  that  the  west 
portion  would,  if  in  existence,  stand  somewhere  near  the  east  part  of  the  old

EARLY  HISTORY. 


Methodist  church  (now  occupied  by  the  Meriden  Curtain  Fixture  Co.  office,  440 
Broad).  The  turnpike  took  a  course  just  east  of  the  Yale  house  and  left  it  with 
BO  backward.  As  the  land  from  this  house  to  the  church  was  a  public  green,  with 
streets  on  the  east  and  west  sides,'  the  house  became  an  eyesore,  and  at  a  town 
meeting  held  May  17, 1808,  it  was  voted  "to  make  an  accommodation  with  Samuel 
Yale,  to  have  his  house  at  the  south  end  of  the  green  removed  to  some  other  place, 
10  as  to  accommodate  the  public,  and  voted  to  buy  the  land  where  house  stands.*" 
The  house  was  accordingly  removed  to  the  northeast  corner  of  Broad  and  East 
Main  streets,  and  reposed  there  until  the  Bassett  brick  block  was  built,  when  it 
again  started  on  its  travels  and  found  a  final  abiding  place  a  little  to  the  east ;  it 
is  perhaps  the  old  building  stilt  standing  there  and  said  to  have  once  been  used  by 
Samuel,  Jr.,  and  William  Yale  for  manufacturing  tin  ware. 

South  of  this  old  house,  before  its  removal,  stood  the  center  district  school 
house  in  what  is  n<nv  the  northeast  corner  of  the  old  cemetery,*  and  where  stands 
•!«  house  of  Dr.  Frederick  P.  Griswold,  No.  481  Broad  street,  was  located  the 
boniestead  and  shoe  store  of  John  Butler. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  street  to  the  northwest  stood  the  church,  with  Ros- 
wel!  Cowles'  Sabbath  day  house  soiitli  oi  it,  and  two  or  three  other  small  houses 
like  it  north  of  the  church  on  the  otlier  side  of  the  street.  East  of  these  buildings  on 
'he  corner  was  the  tavern  belonging  to  Dr.  Hough ;  on  the  southeast  corner  of 
Br  ad  and  East  Main,  stood  the  store  of  Amos  White,  and  the  building  served 
as  his  dwelling  as  .well ;  while  east  and  southeast  of  it  was  another  collection  of 
Sabbath  day  houses. 

North  of  Amos  White's  store  on  the  other  side  of  the  street  was  a  triangular 
piece  of  land  which  had  been  formed  in  this  way:  in  1782  Samuel  Hall,  son  of 
Rev.  Theophilus,  had  deeded  to  the  town  a  strip  of  land  for  a  hi,<;bway,  beginning 
at  East  Main,  just  one  hundred  and  sixty -five  feet  east  of  his  house  (later  the 
tavern)  and  running  due  north  to  Liberty  street.'  The  land  from  the  house  to 
this  new  street  was  the  garden  of  botli  Samuel  Hall  and  Dr.  Houq:b  until  tlie 
turnpike  on  Broad  street  was  cut  through  in  1799:  this  we  learn  from  the  descrip- 
ti  11  in  the  deed  when  Dr.  Hough  bought  the  property  in  1792.  At  the  same  time 
tli.it  tlii-  TR'w  street  was  opened,  tbc  town  closed  the  north  end  of  old  Curtis  street 
ainning  from  just  west  of  the  meeting  house,  north  to  Liberty  street,  and  also

A  CENTURV  OF  MERIDEX. 


Opened  up  a  highway  from  the  meeting  house,  running  west  and  meeting  Liberty 
street  at  what  is  now  the  town  hall  site :  viz.  East  Main  street. 

On  the  triangular  piece  of  land  east  of  the  tavern*  was  a  barn  for  the  conven- 
ience of  the  stage  coach  line. 

Just  opposite  the  old  brick  bank  building  on  Broad  street  and  just  south  of  the 
house  known  as  No.  544,  are  still  to  be  seen  the  foundation  walls  of  an  old  dwell- 
ing bnilt  probably  in  1792  by  Moses  Barns,^  sometimes  of  Cheshire  and  then  of 
Reading,  Mass.,  and  finally  of  Meriden;  but  in  it  was  the  homestead  of 
Jarius  Mix ;  later  it  was  the  dwelling  of  Isaac  Lewis,  who  bought  it  about  181 3, 
and  afterwards  it  was  the  home  of  William  Merriam  and  is  still  remembered  as 
a  boarding  place  where  Episcopal  clergymen  were  carefully  looked  after.  Mrs* 
Merriam  has  the  reputation  of  having  been  the  first  milliner  in  Meriden ;  the  house 
disappeared  a  number  of  years  ago. 

The  second  house  north  of  the  Bams  place  is  known  as  the  Beckett  home- 
stead, but  it  was  built  in  1792  by  Jared  Benham  and  for  many  years  he  dwelt 
there;  it  will  be  noticed  that  it  does  not  stand  square  with  Broad  street,  because 
it  was  built  to  front  on  the  highway  deeded  by  Samuel  Hall  in  1782. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  street  stands  the  old  Willard  house  built  about  1787 
by  the  parson,  but  as  already  stated,  formerly  located  one  hundred  feet  north  of 
its  present  site.  In  1806  it  was  the  home  of  Samuel  Yale;^  west  of  this  at  the 
corner  of  Liberty  and  liroad  streets  was  the  Ambrose  Hough  place  already  de- 
scribed and  now  the  home  of  Walter  B.  Hall. 

Xorth  of  this  house  was  the  old  Jerome  homestead,  occupied  in  1806  by  Levi 
Curtis  and  at  that  time  it  was  probably  the  last  house  on  Broad  street  going  north, 
for  the  ].(hnnii(l  Wilcox  place,  So.  721,  was  built  about  1813  by  Archibald  riunj, 
and  the  old  Belden  bouse,  Xo.  692.  was  probably  erected  in  the  same  >  ear  by  Ira 
Andrews,  and  the  Asahel  Curtis  dwelling.  No.  1065,  just  south  of  Britannia  street, 
was  probably  built  by  Joel  Yale  in  1807. 

In  going  west  from  the  meeting  house  we  would  have  come  first  to  the  home- 
stead of  Samuel  Tibbals,  only  a  hundred  feet  or  so  west  of  it,  and  the  old  house 
has  only  recently  dissqppeared ;  further  down  the  road,  and  probably  on  tlie  site  of 
Dr.  John  Tail's  house,  Xo.  244  East  Main  street,  stood  a  dwelling  built  by  Yale  1. 
(the  eldest  son  of  Dr.  Hough)  but  in  1806  the  home  of  Gardner  Tryon:  on  the 
other  side  of  the  street  on  about  the  site  now  occupied  by  a  small  building,  once 
the  office  of  Dr.  Archer,  stood  a  house  occupied  by  Joseph  Farrington,  and  west 
of  tlie  'Vr\<m  dwelling,  perhaps  where  George  Clark's  residence  now  stands.  No. 
222.  was  the  home  of  Burracre  Yale,  who  afterwards  moved  to  South  Reading, 
Mass.,  and  became  a  manufacturer  of  tinware.   At  this  time  his  father,  Amerton

EARLY  HISTORY.  343 

Vale,  was  probably  living  with  him,  who  had  served  in  the  Revolution  and  was 
noted  as  a  musician,  being  a  skillful  performer  on  the  violin  and  flute. 

OnJy  one  of  the  old  houses  of  1806  on  East  Main  street  is  still  standing,  and 
that  is  located  just  west  of  the  homestead  of  E.  B.  Evcritt.  Its  number  is  194, 
und  when  the  town  was  incorporated  it  was  the  dwelling  of  Timothy  Richards, 
and  near  at  hand  he  had  a  shop  where  he  made  hats.  He  sold  the  honse  in  1807 
to  Elisha  A.  Cowles  and  it  was  probably  here  that  the  Major  first  startc<l  in  the  mer- 
cantile business,  for  the  windows  bear  the  appearance  of  at  some  time  having  hccn 
used  for  displaying  goods.  It  was  afterwards  owned  by  Samuel  l  ihljals,  and  was 
fcr  many  years  the  home  o£  John  Alccorney ;  it  is  now  the  property  of  E.  B. 
£\tntt. 

On  the  south  side  of  the  street,  opposite  the  Mecorncy  residence,  was  the  dwell- 
ing of  Selden  Wright,  and  on  the  tnwu  hall  site,  stdod  the  home  of  Roswell  Cowles, 
the  brother  of  the  Major,  and  the  property  consisting  of  house  and  two  acres,  was 
sold  to  the  town  in  1853  by  Roswell's  widow.  His  stone  cutting  yard  has  already 
been  described  as  occupying  the  site  across  the  street  where  now  stands  the  Wilmot 
place. 

Where  stands  St.  Andrew's  church  wa-^  the  old  Nathaniel  Merriam  place  (in 
1806  the  home  of  Giles  O,  GriswoUi  i  and  on  the  site  of  the  north  part  of  Main 
Street  ]'.a[)ti>t  church  was  the  homestead  of  Simeon  Perkins,  afterwards  occupied 
by  Sherlock,  his  son  ;  the  old  iMuldiug  now  stands  on  Veteran  street. 

Doubtless  there  were  other  h<nises  in  the  central  |)arl  of  the  town  in  1806  that 
have  escaped  the  notice  of  the  writer,  but  in  the  main  the  buildings  mentioned  con- 
stituted the  village  of  Meriden.  Accompanying  is  a  map  whicli  at  a  glance  ex- 
plains the  plan  as  related  in  the  text. 

Some  of  the  early  town  votes  are  interesting  and  those  relating  to  the  rumiing 
at  large  of  geese,  cattle  and  boars  illustrate  the  primitive  conditions  of  the  time. 

One  of  the  first  voles  after  the  town  was  fully  organized  was  one  instructing 
the  selectmen  to  open  the  street  now  called  Griswold :  this  was  on  Dec.  i,  1806. 
On  Feb.  23,  1807,  it  was  voted  that  the  books  of  the  public  librar>'  he  kejjt  by  the 
town  clerk  (who  was  then  Isaac  Lewis)  and  that  they  be  loaned  out  for  four 
^•edcs  only,  and  any  one  who  kept  a  book  longer  than  this  was  to  be  subject  to 
a  fine  of  25  cents  and  an  increasing  forfeiture  of  one  cent  per  day  until  returned.^ 
Prevkws  to  1807  Britannia  street,  east  of  Griswold,  ran  around  the  south  side  of 
the  swamp  and  the  marks  of  this  old  section  can  still  be  plainly  traced :  on  May 
2S»  '807,  it  was  voted  to  change  the  layout  by  running  it  directly  across  the  swamp. 

In  those  days  one  was  permitted  to  work  out  one's  taxes  by  assisting  in  re- 
pairing the  highways  and  on  Nov.  16,  1807,  it  was  voted  that  the  rate  allowed  for 
this  work  should  be  75  cents  per  day  in  the  spring  and  67  cents  in  the  fall.  On 
j^V  I4>  i8i5>  the  rate  was  changed  to  $1.25  in  the  spring  and  $1  in  the  fall.

344  A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEK. 

On  May  6,  1811,  it  was  voted  to  sell  strips  of  the  old  highway  made  no  longer 
necessary  by  the  opening  of  the  tumpike  to  Middletown  which  had  been  built  in 
1809.  On  Nov.  9,  1813,  it  was  voted  to  close  the  highway  from  foot  of  hill  run- 
ning to  Elisha  A.  Cowles  no  longer  needed  on  account  of  the  opening  of  the  South- 
ington  turnpike  in  1812.  This  was  that  part  of  old  Liberty  street  which  ran  across 
the  present  site  of  the  Main  street  Baptist  church  and  coming  out  at  the  South 
Colony  street  bridge. 

On  Sept.  15,  1816,  it  was  voted  that  the  town  bdl  (tocated  in  the  church 
steeple)  should  be  rung  at  9  and  10:30  o'clock  a.  m.  and  i  o'clock  on  Sundays  and 
on  all  other  days  at  12  noon  and  9  o'clock  at  night.  On  Oct.  4.  1^2 j^,  it  was  voted 
to  close  the  road  from  East  Main  to  Liberty  streets  that  had  been  laid  out  in  Samuel 
Hairs  land  in  1782. 

On  Aug.  3rd,  181 2,  a  large  liberty  pole  was  erected  on  the  green,  presumably 
somewhere  near  the  church.'  Ainong^  the  papers  preserved  by  Mrs.  ITiram  A. 
Yale  is  a  bill  of  expense  incurred  in  the  undertaking  which  include  the  following:

EARLY  HISTORY. 


345 


In  the  year  1812  an  association  was  formed  for  the  detection  of  thieves  and 
bringing  them  to  their  just  deserts.  Before  the  writer  as  he  pens  these  lines  is 
a  copy  of  the  constitution  of  the  society  which  is  headed. 

"G>nstitution  of  the 
Meriden  Association  for  the 
Detection  of  Thieves  and  Recovery  of  Stolen  Property" 

Hie  main  object  of  combining  in  this  way  seems  to  have  been  to  bring  horse 
thieves  to  justice.  Article  VII.  reads,  "It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Secretary  to 
keep  a  box  of  tici.ets,  with  each  member's  name  written  thereon  for  the  purpose 
of  drafting  men,  to  pursue  the  thief  or  thieves,  and  to  recover  property  stolen." 
Tbe  articles  would  lead  one  to  believe  there  had  been  much  crime  of  this  nature 
committed  and  that  the  society  was  more  or  less  a  "\  i^ilance  Committee." 

The  sources  of  information  relating  to  the  life  of  the  people  in  this  quiet  coun« 
try  village  during  the  early  years  of  the  last  century  arc  not  abundant  and  doubt- 
less events  were  few  and  far  between  and  little  of  interest  tran^ired  that  would 
appeal  to  us  to-day  or  that  made  much  impression  on  those  who  were  then  ac- 
tive on  the  stage  of  life.  That  Meriden  was  to  have  a  life  different  from  most 
quiet  conntry  farming  communities  was  hardly  dreamed  by  any  one  of  that 
period.  There  was  one  man  who  insisted  that  the  day  would  come  when 
a  comer  lot  in  the  village  of  Meriden  would  bring  as  much  as  a  thousand 
dollars  :  but  he  was  considered  crazy  and  no  one  paid  much  attention  to  his  vag- 
aries or  dreamed  that  his  wild  prophecies  contained  an  element  of  truth,  until  he 
vras  dead  and  gone,  and  building  lots  had  really  begun  to  creep  up  to  a  figure  that 
arproached  the  hallucinations  of  his  cloudy  brain:  then  people  rememl>crcd  his 
and  w  <^?n1ered  if  he  did  not  ktK)w  more  than  was  suspected  during  his  life. 
The  source  ot  the  increase  in  real  estate  values  in  Meriden  was,  of  course,  in 
the  manufactures  and  the  story  of  the  beg;inning8  and  early  growth  o£  the  indus- 
tries of  Meriden  dcsen  es  a  chapter  of  its  own.

CHAPTER  XX. 

ThfR*  was  little  abont  the  tnwn  in  its  early  days  which  indicated  that  -oinc  day 
it  woidd  grow  to  a  place  ot  cuiiMdtrahlc  size:  it  was  simply  a  qnict,  peaceful  com- 
munity, bent  on  getting-  a  living  as  best  it  could  from  the  rather  sterile  snil ;  and 
that  the  farms  were  not  as  productive  as  they  once  had  been  seems  to  be  indicated 
in  variniis  ways. 

The  houses  huilt  alter  1790  until  a  cnii>i(leraljly  later  date  were  not  su  caj>aci«'U» 
and  roomy  as  those  of  an  earlier  ])eriod,  aiul  the  inventories  of  estates  had  also  lie- 
gun  to  dwindle  in  amounts,  and  many  of  them  were  pitiiidly  small  wiien  compared 
with  those  of  the  first  settlers.  Kvidently  the  feeling  became  prevalent  that  --o'.ne 
other  resource  besides  farming  was  necessary  to  make  the  town  a  gruwmg,  thriving 
filace,  and  this  feeling  soon  manifested  itself  by  the  establishment  of  many  small 
shops  and  factories. 

As  early  as  1802  there  was  a  shup  uf  sunie  kind  standing  on  a  part  of  the  land 
now  occupied  by  the  lhadley  &  Hubliard  Mfg.  Co.  .\  deed  elated  in  that  year  con- 
vexed  from  John  Honker  to  Fli  r.arnes  a  tract  t)f  land  at  the  si  western  corner 
of  Culuny  and  Alain  streets,  containing  eighteen  acres,  most  of  the  extent  being 
in  an  easterly  and  westerly  direction  and  it  was  bounded  on  the  south  by  the  land 
of  the  linn  of  Rice,  ^'ale  <S:  C  o.  W  hat  they  made  or  who  the  parlies  w  ere  is  not  cer- 
tain, but  the  Vale  was  perhaps  Sanuicl  Vale.  He  seems  to  have  been  the  first  man- 
ufacturer in  Meriden,  if  we  do  not  consider  those  who  owned  grist,  fulling  and 
sawmills.  Mr.  Perkins  in  his  history  ays  that  in  "i/yi  Samuel  Yale  began  to 
manufacture  cut  nails.  He  and  his  son  worked  in  a  small  shop  on  the  hill,  near 
the  present  site  of  the  Center  Congregational  church.  Their  little  machine  was 
worked  by  their  own  hands,  and  each  nail  was  'headed*  separately  and  by  hand. 
About  the  year  1794  the  same  Mr,  Yale  commenced  the  manufacture  of  buttons 
on  a  small  scale.  They  were  made  of  pewter,  and  would  be  considered  by  us  a 
very  rough  article/'  This  shop  was  probably  on  land  adjoining  the  old  Methodist 
church  on  Broad  street,  for  in  1808  he  sold  to  Seth  D.  Plum  a  piece  of  land  where 
his  blacksmith  and  tinshop  then  stood,  which  was  evidentl>  a  part  of  the  same  tract 
on  which  the  old  house  was  presenting  such  an  annoying  spectacle  to  the  public,  and 
which  was  removed  at  about  the  same  date.  He  probably  then  established  his  bus- 
iness on  Liberty  street  near  Ambrose  Hough's  mill ;  he  died  in  1810  and  his  scms, 
Samuel  Jr.  and  William,  carried  on  the  same  line  in  a  building  still  standing  back 
of  the  Bassett  block  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Broad  and  East  Main  streets.  Wil«

time  owned  a  small  shop  just  north  of  his  dwelling.  This  house  is  still  standing 
and  known  as  No.  447  Broad  street,  and  now  occupied  by  James  H.  Kelsey.  These 
brothers,  William  and  Samuel,  were  for  many  years  quite  extensively  engaged  in 
manufacturing  metal  buttons  and  tinware,  and  must  have  employed  many  hands 
tor  they  sent  travelers,  or  peddlers  as  they  were  called,  into  various  parts  of  the 
country,  and  the  writer  has  been  fortunate  enough  to  examine  a  niimber  of  papers 
and  documents,^  which  reveal  a  little  of  the  character  of  the  business,  and  the  man^ 
tier  of  conducting  it.  Following  is  a  copy  of  a  contract  with  a  peddler  that  is  in- 
teresting: 

Articles  of  agreement  made  and  entered  into  by  and  between  William  and 
Samuel  Yale  of  Meridcn  in  New  Haven  county  on  the  one  part  and  Amos  Francis

traveling  salesman  to  his  employer.

Mr.  Samuel  Yale." 

President  Timothy  Dwight,  of  Yale  College,  made  a  trip  up  this  valley 
on  the  way  to  tiic  \N'hite  Mountains  in  tlie  early  part  of  the  last  century,  and 
has  this  to  say  retj^ardinp:  these  salesmen  :^  "The  manner  in  which  this  ware 
is  disposed  of  puts  to  ni<,dit  ail  calculation.  A  younj^  man  is  furnished  by  the 
proprietor  with  a  horse,  and  a  cart  covered  with  a  box,  containing  as  many 
tin  vessels  as  the  horse  can  conveniently  draw.  I'his  vehicle  within  a  few 
vears  has.  indeed,  been  frequently  exchan|n;'ed  for  a  waj;on ;  and  then  the  load 
is  doubled.  Thus  pref>ared  he  sets  out  on  an  expedition  for  the  winter.  A 
multitude  of  these  young  men  direct  themselves  to  the  Southern  States,  and 
in  their  excursions  travel  wherever  they  can  hud  settlements.  Each  of  thetn 
walks  and  rides  alternately  throu.q:h  this  vast  distance  till  he  reaches  Rich- 
mond. Newbern.  Charleston  or  Savannah  :  and  usually  carries  with  him  to  the 
place  of  his  destination  no  small  part  of  the  gain,  which  he  has  accjuired  upon 
the  road.  Here  he  finds  one  or  more  workmen,  who  have  been  sent  forward 
to  co-operate  with  him,  furnishetl  w  ith  a  sufficient  quantity  of  tinned  plates  to 
supply  him  with  all  the  ware  which  he  can  sell  during  the  season.  With  this 
he  wanders  into  the  interior  countrv :  calls  at  everv  door  on  his  wav  ;  and  w  ith 
an  addrrss  and  pertinacity,  not  easily  resisted,  compels  no  small  number  of  the 
inhabitatns  to  buy.  At  the  commencement  of  summer  they  return  to  \ew  York: 
and  thence  to  Xew  Haven,  by  water;  after  sellini^  their  vehicles,  and  their  horse? 
The  original  load  of  a  single  horse,  as  I  am  told,  i>  rarely  worth  more  than  three 
hundred  dollars :  or  of  a  wagoti  more  than  six  hundred.  Yet  this  busmess  is 
said  to  yield  both  the  owner  and  his  agent  valuable  returns."  "I  have  seen  them 
on  the  peninsula  of  Cape  Cod.  and  in  the  neighborhood  of  Lake  Erie:  distant 
from  each  other  more  than  six  liundred  miles.  They  make  their  way  to  Detroit, 
four  hundred  miles  fai  iher  :  to  Canada  ;  to  Kentucky  ;  and  if  I  mistake  not  to  New 
Orleans  and  St.  Louis."  The  Rev.  President  ua.xes  eloquent  ui  his  description 
of  the  damage  to  the  character  of  these  agents  and  paints  with  a  feeling  pen  their 
gfenerally  demoralizing  conduct  while  engaged  in  ihis  business :  but  as  the  career 
of  a  salesman  was  then  a  novelty  in  this  country,  it  is  possible  that  the  author

His  rtiiiarks  were  ^ivcn  in  his  sketch  of  BerHn  which  was  then  a  much  more 
inportant  place  in  the  business  world  than  Meridcn,  and  where  the  manufacture 
had  been  begun  a  long  time  previous  to  the  Yale  venture  in  Meriden.  The  pion'> 
KT  in  Berlin  was  William  Pattison,  a  native  of  Ireland,  who  settled  there  about 
1740.  Of  Meriden  President  Dw  ighi  sa>  s,  "a  small  neat  village  on  a  handsome 
oniiience  in  the  center  of  the  parish.  The  remainder  of  the  township  is  distributed 
mto  farms."  "The  business  of  manufacturing:  culinary  utensils  from  tin  plates 
ins  been  considerably  extended ;  and  is  becoming  a  source  of  wealth  to  the  inhab* 
itants.  Fruit  trees  usually  blossom  here  on  the  Southern  declevity  of  the  hills,  m 
the  valley  at  the  bottom,  three  or  four  days  earlier  than  at  New  Haven." 

The  Yales  continued  in  the  business  for  many  years,  and  t>oth  accumulated 
for  the  times  considerable  propert) ,  and  were  held  in  high  esteem  in  the  com- 
mniiify:  the  son  of  William,  General  Edwin  Yale,  was  also  extensively  engaged 
ID  this  manufacture,  and  his  shops  were  back  of  his  homestead,  No.  405  Broad 
street.  He  left  here  finally  to  engage  in  the  hotel  business  in  New  York  where 
lie  was  for  a  number  of  years  proprietor  of  the  United  States  Hotel  and  later  of 
the  Mansion  House,  Brooklyn. 

Another  early  manufacturer  of  tinware  in  Meriden  was  Partrick  Dark,  who 
as  will  be  remembered,  bought  the  old  Jonathan  Collins  place  on  North  Colony 
road,  of  his  father-in-law  in  1806.  He  evidently  at  once  engaged  in  the  busi- 
ness, for  in  181 3,  he  was  enough  of  a  factor  in  the  *'ttn  world"  to  be  one  of  the 
si^rs  of  an  agreement  to  maintain  prices — doubtless  the  first  document  of  the 
sort  ever  drawn  up  in  this  vicinity.   It  is  as  follows : 

"June  16  18 13  We  the  Subscribers  each  and  every  one  of  us  agree  not  to  sell 
off  tin  ware  Plain  Bl  Japann^  below  the  prices  affixed  to  the  several  articles. 

Shubael  Paterson,  Orin  Beckley,  SamI  Paterson,  John  Dimham  2^,  Samuel 
Gilbert,  John  Goodrich  Jun.,  Aziel  Belden,  John  Bucknum,  John  Hubbard,  Benj"* 
^Villcox.  Samuel  Kelsey,  Partrick  Clark." 

This  agreement  was  followed  by  a  list  of  the  articles  manufactured  with  the 
minimum  prices  annexed.  Evidently  all  these  names  were  those  of  Berlin  men 
with  tlie  exception  of  Partrick  Clark,  and  possibly  later  the  names  of  the  Yales 
^^ere  attached,  for  the  original  of  the  above  was  itself  a  copy,  and  was  found 
among  tlie  Yale  paj>ers.  where,  perhaps,  it  was  preserved  as  a  memorandum. 

Partrick  Clark's  shop  was  just  south  of  his  house  where  he  was  engaged  in 
Tuiniifacturing  many  years.  His  sons.  Samuel,  Partrick.  Jr.,  and  for  a  while, 
Iiuige  James  S.  Brooks,  engaged  in  the  1)iisiness  in  a  shop  that  stood  on  the  pres- 
nt  ?itc  of  the  Meriden  Savinqfs  P,ank  on  East  Main  street:  the  old  wooden  build- 
ng:  was  built  there  more  than  fifty  years  ago.  For  many  years  the  firm  located 
lere  was  known  as  Stedman  &  Clark.

350  A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 

Another  prominent  manufacturer  in  the  early  days  of  the  town  was  Panrid 
Lewis,  who  in  i8a6  bought  of  Dr.  Isaac  I.  Hough,  the  old  tavern,  and  not  onl} 
performed  the  functions  of  "mine  host,"  but  also  started  a  store  in  ihe  oldlsiU 
ing,  probably  in  one  of  the  additions,  which  plainly  show  in  the  illiistntfioo 
they  were  not  of  the  same  date,  as  that  part  covered  by  the  gambrd  roof, 
was  then  only  twenty-five  years  old  but  was  enterprising  and  energetic;  and 
also  began  at  this  time  the  manufacture  of  tinware  in  a  small  shop  oa  or 
the  spot  now  occupied  by  Birdsey  &  Raven's  store.  No.  294  East  Main  sticd 
took  as  a  partner  Elias  Holt,  also  an  enterprising  and  resourceful  man,  and 
to  enlarge  the  business,  fitting  up  a  bam  in  the  rear  of  the  brick  block  whidi  k 
merly'  stood  just  north  of  the  residence  of  Eli  C.  Birdsey:  here  they 
tea  and  coffee  pots,  candle  sticks,  molasses  gates,  etc.,  etc.,  and  soon  finding  thi 
quartets  too  small  they  built  a  shop  just  west  of  the  junction  of  High  aodGv 
Main  streets,  which  to-<1a>  is  a  dwelling  house  and  was  once  occupied  b 
Charles  Parker  and  later  by  George  C.  Merriam.  Mr.  Lewis  also  built  the  hie 
block  just  referred  to,  which  was  devoted  to  a  general  mercantile  business.  This«3 
the  site  of  the  store  and  dwelling  of  Amos  White.  The  young  men  did  a  but 
business  for  the  times,  and  but  for  some  untoward  circumstances  which  they  cob 
not  control,  they  would  have  built  up  a  large  industry.^ 

But  fate  was  unkind  or  human  judgment,  was  at  fault,  for  on  January  ^  i^il 
on  the  petition  of  Mr.  Lewis,  the  firm  of  Lewis  &  Holt  was  compelled  to  go  itij 
bankruptc)-  with  liabilities  of  more  than  $75,000. 

A  copy  of  this  petition  is  before  the  writer  as  he  pens  these  lines,  and  eootaij 
a  formidable  list  of  creditors.  The  failure  was  considered  a  bad  bbw  to  the 
munity,  for  the  citizens  were  proud  of  the  enterprising  young  manufacturers  vl 
products  embraced  a  wide  variety  of  articles  for  household  uses  in  tinware.  S; 
pathy  seems  to  have  been  particularly  felt  for  Mr.  Lewis,  for  he  was  a  noa 
integrity  and  honor,  and  it  was  he  who,  when  he  knew  the  crash  could 
averted,  insisted  that  the  bankruptc}  proceedings  be  taken  at  once  rather  thano^ 
ttnue  and  make  a  more  disastrous  failure  later.  Capt  Almeron  Miles  took  d 
business  and  carried  it  on  for  a  while  but  eventually  Charles  Parker  bought  t 
factory  at  the  comer  of  High  and  East  Main  streets,  and  later  when  he  had  b(S< 
to  manufacture  in  the  factories  which  are  the  nucleus  of  the  extensive  ^ 
southwest  of  this  spot,  he  altered  the  shop  into  a  dwelling.  | 

Mr.  Lewis,  when  profits  were  large  and  the  future  looked  rosy  with  pW" 
in  the  year  1830,  built  the  dignified  old  mansion  at  No.  497  Broad  street,  sov* 
home  of  Eli  C.  Birdsey ;  it  was  the  first  fine  dwelling  to  be  erected  in  MerideSr>i 
was  well  and  carefully  constructed,  and  the  carved  mantels  and  door  casings  * 
paneling,  and  the  mahogany  stair  railings  and  general  details  show  that  thethouf! 
of  failure  was  far  from  his  mind.

Mr.  Holt  also  built  a  substantial  and  pleasing  dwelling  in  the  same  year,  whidi 
stands  on  the  east  corner  of  Main  and  High  streets,  and  is  now  the  home  of  Mrs. 
Russell  Coe. 

Noah  Pomeroy  came  here  in  the  year  1817,  and  immediately  bought  the  old 
Renjamin  A.  Hall  farm  in  Mast  Mcriden.  with  the  homestead  which  formerly  sKod 
at  the  junction  of  Pomeroy  and  Murdock  avenues  and  has  since  been  moved  a 
short  distance  eastward.  He  must  have  at  once  begun  the  manufacture  of  tin- 
ware in  shops  which  he  built  across  the  street  from  his  house  to  the  east.  The 
factories  have  now  all  disappeared,  and  one  would  never  imagine  from  present

tnf^aged  in  the  production  of  tinware,  metal  and  bone  buttons  and  wooden  conibs^ 
who  probably  in  the  aggregate  sent  large  quantities  of  their  wares  into  the  markets. 

Of  course,  the  records  will  not  disclose  all  these  small  shops,  for  one  would  not 
be  mentioned  in  a  deed  without  the  owner  sold  his  plant ;  in  a  few  instances  they 
are  included  in  the  inventories  of  estates  on  the  probate  records. 

In  1808  Sidney  and  Arba  Merriam  were  manufacturing  buttons  in  a  shop  that 
was  located  somewhere  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Parker  Clock  Co.  plant  in  what  we 
know  as  Crow  Hollow  and  it  was  still  in  e.xistence  in  1815 ;  in  1808  Seth  D.  Plum, 
as  already  related,  bought  Samuel  Yale's  old  tin  shop  which  stood  near  the  present 
site  of  the  old  Methodist  church  and  continued  the  manufacture  until  1835  •  ^^14

the  Calvin  Coe  homestead  on  Coe  avenue,  and  it  was  later  owned  by  Jesse  Curtis 
and  Spicer  Leonard.  In  1815  William  Lawrence  leased  of  Elisha  A.  Cowles  a 
button  shop  south  of  "Harbor  Bridge."  "as  long  as  grass  grows  and  water  runs,"

and  the  same  year  Timothy  Richards  sold  to  Mr.  Cowlcs  a  store  standing  near  the 
latter  s  tin  shop ;  this  store  stood  on  land  just  west  of  the  present  Record  building 
site.  In  1816  Enos  (Jrannis  mortgaged  to  Avery  Hall  a  tin  shop  that  was  located 
somewhere  on  Ichahod  Woods'  farm  which  is  now  Walnut  Grove  cemetery,  anc". 
in  1817  Edward  Collins  sold  to  Walter  Booth  a  half  interest  in  his  tin  shop,  wnich

ing; from  Colony  street,  and  the  inventory  of  Moses  Barns  who  died  in  1816  shows 
that  he  had  a  till  shop  just  west  of  his  house ;  he  was  then  living  in  the  old  dwell- 
iitg  known  As  the  Nathaniel  Merriani  plaife,  standing  where  St.  Andrew's  church 
is  now  located. 

In  1813  Asahel  Curtis  and  Isaac  Lewis  were  manufacturing  buttons  in  a  shop 
near  the  residence  known  as  No.  1065  Broad  street  and  at  about  the  same  date 
Enos  H.  Curtis  was  making  like  articles  on  Curtis  street,  and  Amos  Curtis  was 
engai^cd  in  the  same  kind  of  business  in  a  shop  south  of  his  house  at  tlic  junction 
of  r.road  and  Curtis  streets,  and  Henry  I'cck  w  as  making  tinware  in  a  building  that 
stood  west  of  the  IV'Idcn  house,  Xo.  (x)2  I'road  street.  At  an  early  dale  Lauren 
Merriain  was  in  liie  same  business  in  a  factory  that  stood  a  little  north  of  the  junc- 
tion of  I'oster  and  Colony  streets. 

And  in  the  year  1820  Abel  San  ford  was  manufacturing  spoons  in  a  shop  w  hich 
stood  somewiiere  on  the  farm  now  owned  by  Julius  Ives  on  the  hill  just  west  of 
the  village  of  Hanover,  tnr  in  that  year  he  sold  his  farm  to  Jesse  Ives,  reserving 
his  spoon  shi)]),  and  Ives  sold  the  Meriden  House  corner  to  Sanford,  reserving  his 
tailor  slit^p  standing  on  it. 

This  list  by  no  means  exhausts  the  catalogue  of  these  small  shops  located  in 
various  ])arts  of  the  town.  l)ut  further  e  xtension  would  but  make  patience  cease  to 
be  a  virtue  and  ennld  st-rve  no  useful  purpose. 

In  the  year  iSn/  .\iiiasa  .Merriani  leased  to  I,auren  Merriam  and  Edward  Col- 
lins under  the  tirm  name  of  (  ollins  and  Merriam  the  right  to  erect  a  dam  twcnt\ 
rods  northwest  of  their  comb  factory  which  had  evidently  just  been  built:  this  shop 
stood  where  the  present  Parker  Clock  Co.  plant  is  located  in  the  west  part  of  the 
town,  and  in  1H22  we  tind  on  the  town  records  John  l>.  Collins  c>f  Hartford  selling 
to  this  tirm  his  invention  for  sawing  ivory  for  combs.  This  wa>  apparenth  the  be 
ginning  of  the  ivory  comb  business  hi  Meriden  w  hich  w  as  for  a  time  an  important 
industry. 

In  1827,  Collins  having  died,  Merriam  sold  a  half  interest  iti  the  business  to 
Walter  Webb  and  Albert  Foster  and  it  was  then  continued  under  the  tkm  name 
of  Walter  Webb  &  Co..  and  for  a  number  of  years  the  manufacture  was  carried 
on  in  two  adjoining  shops,  one  of  which  is  to-day  used  by  the  Clock  Co. 

A  few  hundred  feet  west  of  this  spot,  on  the  north  side  of  the  turnpike,  stands 
an  old  house,  on  an  elevation  considerably  above  the  road,  that  was  built  probably

in  a  shop  jxXSt  across  the  street,  and  the  outlines  of  the  foundation  of  the  building 
an  still  be  seen.  At  the  same  time  John  SutlitY  was  manufacturing  t^oofls  of  a 
like  nature  in  a  factory  that  stood  east  of  the  ivory  comb  shop,  in  the  point  fornuci 
bv  the  junction  of  Johnson  avenue  and  the  turn])ike:  it  was  afterwards  used  by 
Dana  Lewis  as  a  button  shop  and  burned  down  many  years  ago:  sonie  of  the  fomi- 
lUtion  stones  may  still  be  seen.  West  of  Albert  Foster's  factory,  at  a  point  just 
east  of  the  foimtain,  stood  a  small  shoj)  that  was  used  by  George  Bull  for  mak- 
ing (icniian  silver  spoons  at  nlmnt  the  same  dale. 

The  two  small  plants  of  MithtT  &  l-oster  were  the  bef^itiiiini^s  of  I'oster,  Mer- 
riam  &  Lo.  aiicl  for  a  while  they  ran  independently,  and  then  forces  were  joined 
and  Hiram  I'oster  and  Asaj)!!  and  Nelson  Merriaju  were  taken  iti  as  partners  and 
the  enlarged  firm  finally  loeated  on  their  present  site  in  the  decade  following  1840. 

Xear  the  main  e!it ranee  to  Hubbard  park  nn  the  north  side  of  the  road,  stood 
until  a  few  years  ag(j,  an  old  stone  building  known  as  the  Julius  Parker  foundry: 
it  was  built  aboxit  183 1  or  1832  by  Jonathan  Leonard  who  came  here  from  Canton, 
Mass.;  the  land  was  owned  by  William  jnhnsoii,  and  Leonard  leased  the  ri.s^ht  for 
a  term  of  years  to  erect  a  factory  and  oeen])y  it.  and  here  he  carried  on  tlie  business

the  latter  had  built  in  the  east  part  of  Meriden  in  1831  in  partnershiji  with  a  man 
named  Walker,  and  here  for  a  number  of  years  Leonard  continued  the  maiujiacture 
Of  the  same  class  of  ^.^oods  he  had  ])ro(luee<l  in  (  "row  H*)lIow.  In  the  first  mnnber 
of  the  -Meriden  Weekly  .Mercury,  dated  March  24.  i84g,  appears  an  advertisement 
signed  by  Jonathan  Leonard  in  New  Haven  in  which  he  otTers  for  sale  "the  Water 
Privilege  and  Factory  owned  and  occupied  by  him  for  the  last  fourteen  years  in 
the  easterly  part  of  Meriden.  "  Lventually  the  shop  came  into  possession  of 
Charies  Parker  and  doubtless  the  original  building  is  buried  .somewhere  in  the 
depths  of  the  Parker  spoon  factory. 

Mr.  Perkins,  in  his  history,  says  that  Julius  Pratt  began  to  mamifacture  ivory 
combs  in  Meriden  in  1822,  and  the  factorv  was  at  first  located  on  Harbor  l)rook  on 
the  south  side  on  land  now  occupied  by  Bradley  &  Hubbard  Mfg.  Co.  and  the  old 
<lam  which  formerly  stood  there  furnished  the  water  power:  but  finding  it  not  suf- 
(tcient  for  his  purpose,  he  bought  in  1824  a  tract  of  land  on  Broad  street  which  is 
now  covered  mostly  by  Pratt's  pond :  here  he  built  a  dam,  and  a  factory  on  the 
south  side,  probably,  and  again  began  the  manufacture  of  combs,  and  in  the  same 
year  he  admitted  as  partners,  Thomas  Howard,  of  Providence.  R,  L,  Alphcus  Star-

ficient  room  lor  a  racewa) ,  and  a  new  factory  at  present  occupied  by  Miller  Bros. 
Cutlery  Co.  on  I'ratt  .street.  Tlie  firm  did  a  large  business  and  was  prosperous, 
iiotwitli^tanding  misfortunes  by  tire,  etc.  .Mr.  Pratt  was  a  man  of  resource  and 
enterprise  and  ranked  high  in  the  conmiunity ;  his  home  stood  just  south  of  the 
dam  and  the  old  dwelling  is  still  there,  while  just  north  of  the  dam  stands  the 
house  built  by  his  partner,  Fenner  Bush.  The  firm  continued  in  business  many 
years  and  was  later  known  as  Julius  Pratt  &  Co.  Mr.  Perkins  gives  a  descriptkm 
of  the  processes  of  manufacture,  in  his  history,  and  Mrs.  Breckenritlge  writes  en- 
tertamingly  in  her  ''Recollections'*  of  both  Mr.  Pratt  and  Mr.  Bush  and  relates  fact$ 
pertaining  to  the  ups  and  downs  of  the  business.  According  to  the  table  at  the 
end  of  this  chapter  Mr.  Pratt  was  making  cutlery  also  in  1845. 

Phib  Pratt  &  Co.  was  the  name  of  another  comb  manufacturing  establishment 
that  was  located  at  Hanover:  the  building  stood  on  land  closely  adjoining  the 
present  Meriden  Cutlery  Co.  plant  at  the  south  end  and  the  business  was  finally 
absorbed  by  Walter  Webb  &  Co.,  and  this  latter  company  took  possession  of  the 
factory  and  sold  the  old  one  in  Crow  Hollow  to  Charles  Parker,  where  for  a  num- 
ber of  years  he  made  locks. 

When  Julius  Pratt  gave  up  the  factory  where  Bradley  &  Hubbard  Mfg.  Co. 
is  now  located,  it  was  leased  by  the  owner,  Elisha  A.  Cowles,  in  1828,  to  N.  C 
Sanford  &  Co.,  of  which  firm  the  following  gentlemen  were  partners,  viz:  Fenner 
Bush,  Julius  Pratt,  Nathaniel  Sanford  and  Howell  Merriman,  and  this  company 
began  the  manufacture  of  augers.  They  stayed  there  until  1832  when  they  moved 
to  Hanover  and  bought  the  plant  of  Carter,  Goodrich  and  Bishop,  who  for  some 
time  had  been  making  bone  buttons  in  a  factory  located  just  south  of  the  old  ten- 
ement houses  near  where  the  road  turns  and  comes  out  at  Archer*$  Comer.  The 
remains  of  the  old  raceway  can  still  be  seen  west  of  the  road  after  leaving  the 
bridge,  and  running  south  to  where  the  factory  was  standing.  The  firm  of  N.  C 
Sanford  &  Co.  afterwards  moved  to  Yalesville  and  the  shop  they  built  is  now  oc- 
cupied by  the  Jennings  &  Griffin  Co. 

In  1834  the  plant  on  Harbor  brook  abandoned  by  N.  C.  Sanford  &  Co.  was  sold 
to  Homer  Curtiss  and  Harlow  Isbell,  trading  under  the  name  of  Curtiss,  Tsbell  ^ 
Co.,  who  hafl  i)re\  i(.usl\  been  located  in  a  plant  west  of  where  the  Meriden  House 
now  stands,  just  baclv  of  the  Lewis  block.  This  firm  was  enterprising  and  suc- 
cessful in  making  door  latches,  locks  and  builders'  hardware.  Mr.  Isl)ell  finally 
moved  to  Kansas  and  Mr.  Curtiss  then  formed  a  partnership  with  a  Mr.  Morgan 
and  the  new  company  was  known  as  Curtiss,  Morgan  &  Co.  and  continued  to  do 
business  at  this  stand  until  January,  1854,  when  the  firm,  to  the  great  regret  of  the 
whole  comnumity,  was  compelled  to  make  an  assignment  through  endorsing  foi 
Curtis  L.  North. 

P.cniamin  and  Hiram  Twiss  began  the  manufacture  of  clocks  in  182I 
and  located  their  factory  near  the  east  end  of  Pratt  s  pond  where  it  could  be  seei

from  Broad  street  and  they  built  for  power  purposes  a  datn  which  formed  a  pond 
still  known  by  their  name:  after  a  number  of  years  the  business  was  moved  to 

Canada. 

In  East  Meriden,  or  Bangall,  more  than  seventy  years  ago,  Orsamus  Crocker 
t)tiiJt  a  factory  in  the  point  of  land  formed  by  the  junction  of  Cone  avenue  and 
Middletown  turnpike,  which  was  designed  for  the  making  of  clocks,  hut  the  bus- 
iness proving  a  failure,  it  was  occupied  later  by  Crocker  on  the  upper  lloor  making 
wooden  cnmbs  and  drawer  pulls,  while  William  J.  Ives  made  suspenders  on  the 
.'orer  Hoor.  Isaac  C.  Lewis  was  at  one  time  engaged  in  making  britannia  ware 
ifl  the  same  building.^ 

David  W.  Ropes  bcj^an  the  Inisiness  of  maniifacttirinj^  table  cutU'iy  in  Meri- 
den  in  i^^45,  and  located  in  Hanover  just  north  of  the  Walter  W'ehl)  Co.  factory 
and  later  he  formed  a  partnership  with  Julius  H.  Pratt  and  \\  alter  Webb  under 
^ht  timi  name  of  Pratt,  Ropes,  Webb  &  Co.,  and  in  1855  the  business  was  merited 
.ntn  a  corporation  bearini^  the  present  name  of  Meriden  Cutlery  Co.  and  there  it 
has  since  continued,  a  successful  and  prosperous  concern. 

Henry  T,  W  ilcox  came  to  Meriden  in  i8j(^  and  entered  the  eni])lo)  of  Julius 
f'rati  &  Co.  About  1845  he  built  a  small  sho])  a  little  south  of  his  bouse.  No. 
400  North  Colon}  street,  where  for  a  number  of  years  he  made  coffee  mills,  spring 
l>alances.  steclvards,  iron  bit  braces  and  door  knockers.  The  first  shop  was  burned 
I'l  1851,  and  a  second  built  on  the  same  site  was  burned  in  T853. 

L'ndoubtedlv,  manv  of  the  earl\  industries  have  Ik-cu  omitted  in  the  forejjo- 
ing  pages,  but  sutfieient  have  been  t^^iven  to  show  that  Meriden  had  become  a  per- 
Jeci  hive  uf  manufactories  by  1S30  and  this  in  the  face  of  the  fact  that  there  \tere 
few  advantages  such  as  are  usually  consitkred  necessities  when  a  coinnnmity  is 
en^'aged  in  industrial  pursuit:  that  such  a  situation  should  have  developed  was 
due  wholly  to  the  genius  of  the  people:  they  were  determined  to  succeed  and  they 
<fid:  and  as  one  looks  over  the  roll  of  manufacturers  of  Meriden  since  iS^m,  one 
IS  conscious  that  there  have  been  some  great  men  amont;  the  mnnlier — men  who 
with  more  natural  advantages  would  have  achieved  much  bit^L;er  residts 

Some  of  the  difficulties  of  manufacturing  in  Meriden  in  the  early  days  will  be 
reafixed  when  it  is  remembered  that  there  was  a  very  liiuitcd  arnotmt  of  water 
power  in  the  township,  which  probably  accounts  for  the  great  number  of  tin  shops 
vhidi  did  not  require  such  power :  added  to  this  situation  it  was  necessary  to  cart 
Ul  finbhed  and  raw  material  to  and  from  Middletown  and  New  Haven,  until  the 
ailroad  was  opened  in  1838. 

The  population  of  Meriden  daring  the  first  fifty  years  was  as  follows: 

1810,  1,249;  1820,  1,309;  1830,  1,708;  1840,  1,880;  1850,  3,559.

or  employee,  or  21^  per  cent.— a  very  large  proportion.  To  show  the  dittert-nffl 
between  the  two  communities  at  tliis  date  it  may  be  stated  that  Wallingford.  wid 
a  populfition  of  2,204,  ^^b'  engaged  in  manufacturing,  or  aboul  iivc  (« 
cent. 

A  T  nizetteer  of  Connecticut  and  Rhode  Island  by  Pease  &  Nil^,  publishtii  u 
1819,  has  this  to  say  about  Meriden: 

**A  spirit  of  enterprise  and  activity  in  business  characterizes  the  inhabiianu-  oi 
this  town.  Various  manufactures  and  mechanical  employments  are  carried  on 
but  those  of  tin  ware  and  buttons  are  the  most  important.  There  are  five  dis'.-.i 
Factories  of  the  former,  and  equal  number  of  the  latter,  for  making  metal  buitor.^ 
and  I  Factory  for  ivorv  buttons.  There  are  also  i  Factory  for  ivory  combs  . 
2  block  tin  or  hard  metal  spoon  Factories.  The  wares  and  manufactures  of  tk> 
establishments,  like  those  of  other  towns  in  the  vicinity,  are  sent  abroad  for  a  iiiir 
ket.  This  furnishes  employment  for  a  number  of  hands ;  and  it  has  been  estiniata 
that  there  are  20  to  40  persons  tliat  are  constantly  employed  in  vending  the  wnrf 
that  are  manufactured  in  this  town.  Most  of  them  are  employed  in  the  souiber 
and  western  states,  which  atYord  an  extensive  market  for  the  products  of  our  il 
dustry.  And  this  maricet  will  not  be  likely  soon  to  fail,  for  wherever  slavery  prt 
vails,  mechanical  ingenuity  and  industry  will  be  excluded.  In  addition  there  ai 
12  Cider  Distilleries,  2  Grain  Mills,  i  Fulling  Mill,  i  Carding  Machine  and  2  Tai 
ncries.    There  are  2  Nfercantile  Stores  and  2  Taverns." 

•The  Gazetteer  of  the  U.  S.  published  in  1833  has  this  to  say  about  Herida 
"An  important  manufacturing  place  but  with  little  water  power  :  $1,000,^00011 
nually  [)roduced:  1  company  has  230^  hands  in  making  britannla  coffee  pots,  spooi 
coifee  mills,  waffle  irons,  signal  lanthorns:  $200,000:  other  manufacture^  .ii 
wooden  clocks  vahu  S  qo.ooo;  ivor>',  wood,  boxwood  and  horn  combs  value 
000:  auger  bits  and  rakes  value  $20,000;  tin  ware  value  $90,000:  another  manutii 
turer  of  britannia  ware  $250,000 :  there  are  other  manufactures  of  Japanned  wan 
shoes,  boots :  some  very  useful  inventions  have  originated  here ;  first  branch  ( 
manufacture  extensively  engaged  in  here  was  that  of  tin  ware." 

In  1833  the  Meriden  Bank  was  organized  with  a  capital  of  $ioo,ooog  ai 
opened  for  business  at  once  or  very  shortly  after  in  the  old  brick  block  on  Kort 
Broad  street  still  known  as  the  '*bank  building." 

A  very  large  percentage  of  growth  was  shown  by  Meriden  in  the  decade  frai 
1840  to  1850  when  the  population  rose  from  1,880  to  3,559  or  nearly  100  per  ccd 

The  following  table  of  manufactories  in  Meriden  in  1845,  compiled  by  How< 
Merriman  and  filed  with  the  Secretary  of  State,  is  a  fitting  ending  to  this  accotn 
of  the  early  industries.  The  writer  has  sketched  a  short  accoqnt  of  the  eariy  mai 
ufacturers  of  britannia  ware,  which  will  be  found  on  page  37,  Part  III,  of  this  bool

EARLY  HISTORY.  361 


CHAPTER  XXL 

MERCHANTS. 

Mention  has  already  been  made  of  a  few  of  Meriden's  early  merchants,  viz: 
Amos  White  and  Amasa  Curtis  and  Isaac  Lewis,  and  to  them  should  be  added 
iie  linn  of  Butler  &  Olds,  succeeded  by  John  Butler  alone,  who  ran  a  boot  and 
iiwe  store  on  Broad  street  nearly  opposite  the  Baptist  church,  and  the 
itisiness  was  carried  on  by  him  for  many  years. 

Major  Elisha  A.  Cowles  began  his  first  mercantile  venture  in  the  old  Mecor- 
ley  House,  at  194  East  Main  street,  as  has  already  been  mentioned:  in  the  year 
811  he  was  in  business  on  the  corner  bounded  east  and  north  by  South 
.olony  and  East  Main  streets,  for  in  that  year  he  admitted  Joel  Merriman  to 
artnership,  selling  him  a  half  interest;  but  in  181 3  the  firm  was  dissolved, 
n  1815  Mr.  Cowles  bought  a  piece  of  land  just  east,  where  the  Rogers  block  now 
taods,  and,  according  to  one  authority,  he  erected  that  building  in  1840,  in  com- 
>ny  with  Dr.  Isaac  I.  Hough,  and  it  was  run  as  a  railroad  restaurant  for  a  num- 

of  years ;  it  was  originally  a  gable-roofed  structure.   In  1846  Mrs.  Cowles 

it  to  Hervey  Rogers,  and  he  ran  it  as  a  hotel  for  twenty  years  or  more. 
Major  Cowles  apparently  sold  everything  that  a  country  store  could  be  ex- 
acted to  carry  in  stock,  and  he  was  in  the  undertaking  business  as  welK  for 
le  uriter  has  come  across  one  bill  for  such  services.  In  1830,  with  James  S. 
rooks,  he  bought  seven  acres,  which  included  the  site  where  the  Meriden 
ouse  now  stands,  ana  these  two  gentlemen  then  engaged  in  business  some* 
here  on  tliis  corner,  and  later,  viz.,  in  1836,  he  was  also  in  company  with 
andoiph  Linsley,  but  located  on  the  East  side  of  Colony  street ;  he  was  in  part- 
irship  with  Henry  C.  Butler  on  the  Meriden  House  corner  in  April,  1838,  and 
c  writer  has  discovered  one  bill  from  c Ow  lcs  &  Butler  for  coffee,  chickens  and 
jslings,  that  w  as  receipted  by  Curtis  L,  North  in  the  same  year,  showing  that 
at  arch  hypocrite  was  already  in  town. 

Major  Cowles  was  a  shrewd  and  successful  merchant  and  was  interested 
several  of  the  manufacturing  ventures  of  his  native  town  as  well,  and  he 
d  Judq^e  James  S.  Brooks  probably  had  more  to  do  with  having  the  N.  Y.. 
H.  &  H.  R.  R.  Co.  tracks  laid  through  Meriden  in  the  present  course  than 
y  other  men  in  Meriden;  while  the  residents  of  the  center  were  fighting 
>th  and  nail  to  prevent  the  tracks  being  laid  in  that  part  of  the  town,  for

were  quietly  urging  the  present  layout.  The  Major  was  one  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Xew  Haven  an<l  Hartford  Railroad  Company  from  1835  to 
1840,  and  it  must  have  been  a  proud  moment  for  him  when  he  saw  the  firstj 
train  of  cars  come  puffing  into  the  station  in  Meriden,  in  November,  18)8.^ 
This  was  as  far  as  the  trains  ran  until  Saturday.  December  14,  1839,  when 
the  road  was  so  far  completed  that  a  train  was  conducted  from  Belle  Dock  ia: 
New  Haven  to  the  Engine  House  in  Hartford.  Some  idea  of  the  small 
amount  of  business  done  by  the  railroad  at  first  may  be  gained  when  it  is 
stated  that  the  gross  income  from  passengers  and  freight  for  the  first  niM 


months  was  $24,000. 
The  first  railroad 
station  in  Meriden 
stood  on  the  east 
side  of  the  track  a 
little  north  of  .Main 
street,  but  it  was  evi- 
dently only  a  tempo- 
rary affair.  and

says  it  was  located 
in  the  Rogers  block 
from  1 840  to

EARLY  HISTORY. 


Xaturalh ,  the  location  of  the  railroad  track  so  far  west  of  the  center  of  the 
town,  drew  business  tO  what  wgfi  then  known  as  West  Meriden,  and  eventually 
the  Corner"  became  the  real  commercial  center  of  Meriden,  and  the  stage 
coach  line  was  soon  driven  out  of  business  by  its  steam  competitor,  and  its 
shares,  which  had  once  been  deemed  a  secure  and  profitable  form  of  invest- 
ment, soon  became  worthless. 

Howell  Merriman  was  another  of  the  early  Meriden  merchants,  and  his 
dwelling  and  store  stood  where  the  building  now  occupied  by  W.  W.  Mosher 
is  located,  Ko.  13  Colony  street:  just  to  the  left  of  his  entrance  may  still  be 
seen  a  stone  bearing  the  inscription,  "Howell  Merriman,  June  i,  1827."  When 
he  opened  the  store  the  writer  has  been  unable  to  learn,  but  an  examination  of 
his  account  book,  written  in  a  neat,  legible  style,  reveals  his  methodical  habits 
and  painstaking  accuracy,  and  gives  his  inventory  in  1831  and  again  in  1832, 
and  shows  that  he  carried  a  stock  of  dry  goods,  notions  and  jewelry :  among 
the  latter  articles  are  mentioned  three  diamonds.  He  continued  in  bttsiness 
a  nomber  of  years  and  finally  entered  a  firm  composed  of  Joel  I.  and  Henry 
C.  Butler,  located  in  the  Collins  building,  who  conducted  a  sort  of  private 
bank,  by  discounting  notes  and  arranging  the  placing  of  loans.  Mr.  Merri- 
man^  was  also  interested  in  several  of  the  local  manufacturing  ventures:  he 
died  in  1858. 

A  picture  of  the  business  center,  near  the  railroad  station,  in  T842,  is  shown 
in  the  accompanying  reproduction  of  a  poster  distributed  to  the  traveling 
public  in  that  year  by  Nelson  Mcrriani  and  Ilcnry  ,M.  Foster.  I  lic  observer

EARLY  HISTORY.  365  . 

Howell  Merriam,  and  on  the  extreme  right  of  the  picture  is  the  freight  station 
of  those  days.  Capt.  Conklin*s  hotel  fronted  on  what  we  now  know  as 
Main  street,  but  at  that  time  called  the  Waterbury  and  Southington  turnpike : 
the  picture  just  misses  showing  the  old  wooden  bridge  which  formerly  spanned 
Harbor  brook,  a  little  to  the  right  of  the  tree,  and  over  which  the  stage  coach 
wilt  soon  be  rumbling  and  towards  which  the  ducks  in  the  brook  are  paddling. 

Before  Lewis  &  Holt*s  failure  in  1834,  the  brick  block  at  the  southeast  comer 
of  East  Main  and  Broad  streets  had  been  sold  to  a  firm  named  Potter 
Shipman  &  Lewis,  and  these  gentlemen  were  carrying  on  a  general  mercantile 
business  in  what  was  then  the  real  center  of  Meriden;  in  1836  the  building 
was  bought  by  Eli  C.  Birdsey,^  as  well  as  the  Partrick  Lewis  residence,  just 
south  of  it,  and  for  several  years  he  conducted  a  successful  dry  goods  estab- 
lishment in  the  front  part  of  the  brick  block,  while  Alanson  Birdsey  carried  on 
a  grocery  store  in  the  basement  in  the  rear,  with  an  entrance  on  Main  street. 
Eli  C.  died  in  1843,  and  the  business  was  then  carried  on  by  his  son  Linus  and 
John  Ives,  under  the  firm  name  of  Birdsey  &  Ives.  Mr.  Ives'  afterwards  went 
into  business  by  himself,  and  erected  the  brick  block,  in  1854,  which  he  now 
uses  as  a  dwelling.  No.  489  Broad  street,  and  here  conducted  a  dry  goods  es- 
tablishment for  many  years:  after  the  war  he  admitted  Col.  Chas.  L.  Upham 
and  Philip  C.  Rand  as  partners,  and  later  removed  the  business  to  the  building  now 
occupied  by  Howard  Bros.,  and  later  to  the  Winthrop  Hotel  block. 

Another  prominent  merchant  at  the  same  time  was  Harrison  W.  Curtis, 
who  was  also  a  tinware  manufacturer  ami  made  his  goods  in  shops  back  of 
his  house  on  the  south  corner  of  Broad  and  Charles  streets.  He  first  started 
his  hardware  store  in-  Franklin  Hall,  just  after  it  was  completed,  in  1854,^  but 
some  ttmd 'after,  .moved  one  of  his  tin  shops  to  the  northeast  corner  of  East 
Main  an^XJenter\strje<t^  and  there  installed  his  store  and  continued  at  that 
stand  until  hi^  deHb  .i]i**i869.  The  business  was  then  bought  by  Birdsey  & 
Miles,  and  the  present  firm,  Birdsey  &  Raven,  is  a  lineal  successor. 

In  Franklin  Hall  was  also  located  for  a  while  the  firm  of  N.  P.  Ives  &  Co., 
which  de^t  in  such  a  variety  of  merchandise  that  it  included  the  finest  kind  of 
Boston  tripe  at  one  end  of  the  list,  and,  at  the  other,  an  unexcelled  line  of  the 
most  improved  farming  utensils. 

H.  D.  Basett  built  the  brick  block  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Broad  and 
East  Main  streets,  in  1857,  and  for  many  years  he  was  there  engaged  in  dis- 
pensing groceries.

EARLV  HISTORY. 


The  old  Hough,  or  Central  tavern,  after  the  failure  of  Partrick  Lewis,  had  a 
variety  of  ups  and  downs,  passing  through  a  succession  of  hands.  In  1837. 
according  to  a  town  vote,  it  was  known  as  Smith's  Hotel,  and,  whether  due 
to  the  quality  of  its  liquor  or  to  friction  with  the  Church  authorities,  a  special 
town  meeting  voted  to  adjourn  to  the  tavern  and  there  wind  up  the  matter  that 
had  brought  them  together.  After  Mr.  Smith  had  departed  Evelyn  Beck- 
le>'  was  pfoprietor,  and  he  was  followed  by  a  Mr.  Douglass  and  Ira  Twiss. 
In  1844  it  was  in  the  charge  of  a  firm  of  partners  named  .-\ndrews  &  Warren : 
but  the  glory  of  the  place  was  departing,  and  it  finally  degenerated  into  a 
common  drinking  place.     From  the  day  the  railroad  was  opened  its  doom

^vas  sealed,  and  could  good  old  Dr.  Insign  Hough  have  returned  to  his  former 
haunts  and  beheld  the  low  estate  to  which  the  tavern  had  descended,  he  would 
have  been  the  first  to  exclaim.  *'Ichal)od,  thy  glory  hath  departed!"  To  the 
great  relief  of  all,  it  cea.sed  to  be  a  place  of  entertainment  in  1873. 

•Mention  has  been  made  of  the  store  on  the  Meriden  House  corner,  con- 
ducted by  Major  Cowles  and  Henry  C.  lUttler.  and  their  clerk.  Curtis  L.

J^hown  in  the  annexed  cuts.  They  are  reproductions  of  illustrations  that  ap- 
peared in  the  map  of  Meriden  of  that  <late.  Eventually  North  became  the 
owner  of  the  store:  and  as  he  was  energetic,  enterprising  and  shrewd,  he

built  up  a  large  business  and  added  to  it  an  insurance  ardency  and  su-callrfl 
private  bank  ;  he  was  forceful,  and  pained  a  wide  constituency,  and  becanic  the 
State  agent  for  several  large  fire  insurance  companies,  and  his  business  extended 
all  over  this  section. 

R.  B.  Loomis,  now  living  in  Hartlurd.  wa-^  then  a  young  man  and  in  the  crv 
ploy  of  Mr.  Xnrth.  nnrl  has  told  the  writer  many  facts  relating  to  the 
disaster  which  befell  Mcriden  through  the  mad  course  of  Mr.  North.  Had 
he  possessed  balance,  and  less  recklessness,  he  would  undoubtedly  have  had 
a  great  career  in  the  business  world  ;  but  he  was  unwise  in  his  speculations, 
and  at  last  became  involved  in  a  quarrel  with  the  Meriden  bank,  and  on  no- 
count  of  some  fancied  slight,  he  made  the  attempt  to  break  the  bank  by  buyinL: 
U]>  all  the  notes  of  that  institution  that  he  could  lay  his  hands  on;  but  unfor- 
tunately his  calculations  were  not  carefully  planned,  and  he  succeeded  only  in 
wrecking  himself  and  friends. 

Mr.  North  had  been,  apparently,  a  very  religious  tnan ;  he  wa«;  a  pr<iminent 
leader  in  i)rayer  meeting';,  and  his  unctuous  efforts  in  this  directiou  so  im 
pressed  his  fellow  church  members  that  to  this  cause,  perhaps,  we  can  ascril ' 
the  fncr  that  he  drew  into  the  maelstrom  of  his  mad  spectilations  and  businesj 
veiuurcs  Homer  Lurti^s.  Mrs.  Elisba  A.  Cowles,  Luther  W  ebb  and  a  host  c 
others.  Mr.  Curtiss  <ince  said  that  "  Mr.  North's  most  .successful  ruse  was  t< 
visit  the  home  of  some  friend,  and  euL^agc  in  an  earnest  religions  conversation 
which  would  be  followed  by  an  im])ressive  prayer  and  supplication  to  thi 
throne  of  grace."  Before  departing,  and  while  the  odor  of  sanctity  wa 
fa'riv  oozing  from  his  [)ores.  he  would  ask  for  and  usually  obtain  the  endorse 
ment  on  a  note  which  had  iieen  the  niain^i>ring  of  all  tlii-^  religious  fervor. 

At  last  the  crash  came,  and  Meriden  w  as  astounded,  and  the  state  as  well 
the  following  is  from  a  diary  of  the  period:' 

*\*^aturday,  Nov.  26,  1853, 

The  past  week  has  been  a  deeply  painful  and  gloomy  one  for  our  com 
munity.  It  seems  as  if  the  fomulatious  of  the  business  world  were  breakini 
up.  No  less  tb an  seven  failures  have  taken  place  within  the  past  week,  in 
eluding  our  luo.^t  enterprising  business  men  and  some  substantial  citizens  wh< 
w  ere  consi<1(  red  rich,  and  were  rich.  And  it  is  all  occasioned  by  one  man 
Curtis  L.  North,  who,  after  pursuing  a  reckless  course  of  hazardous  business 
accompanied  by  great  extravagance  in  living,  has  succeeded  in  drawing  ii 
the  means  of  a  large  nundier  of  persons  who  usually  had  a  reputation  fo 
sagacity  and  foresight:  and  so  he  has  at  length  failed,  and  carried  down  wit 
him  a  host  of  Others,     During  this  week  there  have  been  the  foUowing  £ai!

and  time  will  alone  tell  the  tale.** 

This  of  course  was  written  immediatelx  after  the  event  was  known,  and  things 
tii'!  not  pn.ve  quite  '^o  lilack  as  then  thought. 

Mr.  North  erected  the  house  now  owned  by  Edniuml  A.  I'arker,  corner  of 
\Va>liin£,non  and  Colony  streets,  one  of  the  best  built  dwellings  in  Meridcn. 
His  banking  buildinjj^  had  just  been  eonipleted  and  the  money  was  all  sub- 
scribed to  begin  business  at  the  time  of  the  failure.^  It  stood  on  the  site  now 
^'cupied  by  the  Home  National  Bank,  but  is  not  shown  in  the  illustration. 

'lich  was  made  in  1851.  The  picture  show^s,  on  the  ritrht,  the  insurance 
ortict.  which  occupied  a  site  wdiere  Circle  Hall  now  stands,  but  it  finally  wan- 
♦lered  away  to  the  n«irth  corner  of  Camp  and  Colony  streets.  C)n  the  corner 
south  of  the  insurance  office  is  .seen  the  dwelling-  occupied  by  Mr.  North  until 
Rebuilt  his  new  house  in  1853.  This  old  dwelling,  when  the  Mcriden  House 
was  buih.  slunk  away,  abashed,  to  Veteran  street,  and  the  banking  house,  at 
slater  date  was  moved  to  38  West  ^^ain  street,  and  is  now  used  by  John  A. 
I'homas  to  cater  to  the  wants  of  sportsmen.  Rack  of  tiie  insurance  office,  on 
tlie  hill,  will  be  noticed  the  old  Corner  Schoolhouse,  moved  to  King  street 
about  1868.  Southwest  of  the  dwelling,  and  on  the  west  side  of  a  sort  of 
Half  quadra IV i:,de  stood  Mr.  North's  store,  wdiich  is  seen  in  the  second  illustra- 
tion, and  it  was  here  that  he  begati  business:  at  that  time  its  front,  dignified 
'>>  four  square  columns,  faced  easterly,  but  when  the  Meriden  House  was 
''Jiilt  it  wa«=  turned  at  right  angles  to  face  Main  street,  and  it  is  now  (l(>i)j>ed 
''tits  two  \sin<.,rsi.  the  store  of  F  J.  W  heeler  who  has  occujiicd  it  since  i8(>2. 

•Mr.  North  was  never  successful  after  his  failure  for  any  leui^th  of  time, 
although  his  plausibility  and  versatility  sometimes  gave  him  a  seeming  tem- 
!>'^'rary  prosperity.  He  died  a  few  vears  ago  in  abiect  povcrtv.  The  fol- 
' 'Wing  appeared  in  the  Republican  under  date  of  November  3,  iii69. 

"Curtis  L.  Xorth.  formerly  of  this  city,  and  very  well  known  among  the  old 
residents  of  this  place  (some  of  them  in  fact  knowing  him  too  well  for  their 
own  happiness  and  pecuniary  welfare,  is  now  in  Brooklyn,  being  settled 
<fown  in  the  insurance  business.  His  office  is  at  the  corner  of  Fulton  and 
Broadway.  New  York.    He  is  rapidly  improving,  and  is  superintendent  of  a

bill  in  a  potato  and  presented  it  to  his  pastor. 

We  understand  that  he  is  niakinp:  money  at  the  rate  of  $50,000  a  year.  He 
informs  his  friends  in  Brooklyn  that  he  has  effected  a  satisfactory  settlement 
with  his  creditors  here.

18^3.  appears  the  notice  that  the  project  of  building  a  new  hotel  is  being 
taken  hold  of  with  vigi>r.  and  the  same  ]>aper  tells  us  in  September  that  the 
Meriden  House  has  been  starte<l  and  that  A.  S.  Lawrence  is  buildinjj  it  for 
a  company  of  Meriden  L^entlenien.  Funds  were  iackintj.  for  a  nuich  better  hotel 
was  1)einj^  constructed  than  had  oriji^inally  been  plannetl,  and  it  was  not  fully 
completed  until  1855.  It  was  upencd  on  the  eveninjj  of  December  10.  that 
year,  with  a  ban(|uet,  at  which  most  oi  the  prominent  ijentlenien  in  town  were 
present.  J.  S.  I*arnndce.  who  had  been  managinp^  the  Mcnonoui^h  limine  in 
Middletown.  was  the  first  proprietor,  and  W  illiam  M.  Hate.->'  was  the  clerk. 

It  was  <kemcd  as  good  as  any  in  the  >tnte,  and  the  furnishings  were  con- 
sideretl  very  fine,  and  .Meriden  was  in.slly  prmul  ol  its  new-  hotel.  The  first 
gas  plant  in  town  was  eoimected  with  it.  a  manufacturing  plant  and  storage 
tank  eighteen  feet  in  diameter  having  beeii  built  in  the  rear  of  the  hotel  for 
sii|>plying  the  means  of  illumination,  and  naturally  its  installation  prodticed  a 
sensation  in  the  community.  Rut  the  hotel  was  really  better  than  the  de- 
mands of  the  times  warranted,  and  Mr.  l^armelee  was  compelled  to  close  it?

it  was  started  under  favorable  auspices.  It  ran  afterwards,  spasmodically, 
under  a  succession  of  proprietors,  which  inchuled  W.  Lilley  and  Win.  H.

£ARLY  HISTORY. 


37> 


The  year  1853  was  a  busy  one  in  ihe  building  line  in  Meriden :  during  the 
decade  from  1850  to  iSTo  the  town  more  than  doubled  in  population,  rising 
irom  3»S59  to  7,426,  and  better  and  more  numerous  (|uarters  were  needed  in 
every  line  of  business.  The  Whig  for  April  14,  1853,  in  an  article  entitled 
"Building  in  Meriden"*  says,  "the  new  building  of  the  Messrs.  Collins  is  nearly 
finished.  It  is  three  stories  high,  built  of  brick;  the  south  half  of  the  first 
story  is  occupied  by  the  Messrs.  Collins,  and  the  store  on  the  north  end  is 
occupied  by  Charles  Blanchard  as  a  clothing  establishment:  a  small  store 
n<ar  the  center  on  the  west  side  is  being  fitted  up  for  a  jeweler's  shop  to  be 
occupied  by  Samuel  Dunham."  The  Messrs.  Collins  were  Aaron  L,  and 
Charles  H.,  who  carried  on  the  grocery  business  here  for  a  while,  having  at 
one  time  been  located  in  the  old  Curtis  L.  North  building:  the  firm  was  later 
Icnown  as  Collins  &  Brooks.  D.  F.  Southwick,^  at  a  later  date,  was  selling 
boots  and  shoes  in  this  building.  On  the  second  floor  were  located  the 
rooms  of  the  Young  Men's  Institute,  immediately  after  its  organization,  and 
they  continued  to  be  put  to  that  use  until  the  Town  Hall  was  completed  in 
T^55*  Then,  the  Institute  moving  into  quarters  in  that  building  provided  for  it, 
the  Home  Bank,  just  organized  (Nov.,  1855),  moved  into  the  vacated  rooms 
in  the  Collins  block.  O.  H.  Piatt's  offices  were  also  on  the  same  floor  for  a 
while.  At  a  later  date  the  store  on  the  south  side,  where  the  Messrs.  Collins 
bad  been  located,  was  for  a  time  the  home  of  the  post  office,  with  one  en- 
trance on  Colony  street  and  a  second  on  the  Main  street  side,  by  means  of  an 
iron  stairway  leadintj  to  a  balcony.  The  buildin;G^  was  popular  as  a  stand  be- 
cause so  central  :  it  was  dc^stroyed  by  the  i;rc:il  tire  of  March  9,  1864,  and  the 
Lewis  &  Hall  block  now  occii])ios  the  sajne  site,  at  the  east  corner  of  Colony 
Sto<l  Main  streets:  but  the  Lullins  building  extended  considerably  turtncr  north 
th,m  its  successor. 

The  newspaper  article  just  fpTiUMl  also  states  that  Curtis  I..  Xorth's 
splendid  house  is  now  cuiiiplctctl  and  he  is  engajLjed  in  beautifying  his  grounds." 
Hiis  was  hardly  more  than  six  months  before  his  failure. 

Another  popular  buildinir  at  liii>  period  was  the  brick  Mock  known  as 
Andrews'  Exchange,  which  sttxid  where  the  (i.  A.  R.  hall  is  now  located:  it 
w.'is  ptrhaps  erected  in  the  year  1850.  and  in  it  the  ow  ner.  Alinon  Andrews, 
had  a  hardware  slure  ;  but.  as  in  1854  he  had  built  a  strain  i;rist  mill  on  Brooks 
^-treet.  at  a  -.put  now  occujMed  by  the  north  end  of  tlx-  .Mrriden  Britannia  Co. 
plant,  he  ^oUj  his  hardware  business  to  Xewton  V.  iiart.  who  cotuhicted  quite 
an  extensive  store  in  the  same  line,  and  added  to  it  a  drug  department,  and

A  CENTURY  OP  MERIDEN. 


later  took  a  partner,  B.  P.  Footc,  while  in  the  south  half  of  the  building  (where 
H.  C.  &  J.  L  Butler  had  carried  on  the  grocery  business,  under  the  name  of 
Butler  &  Butler)  Henry  Stedman  was  attempting  to  rival  the  Messrs.  Collins 
in  catering  to  those  who  needed  provisions  of  all  kinds.  He  was  compelled 
to  make  an  assignment  in  1856,  and  the  business  was  bought  by  Henry  T. 
Wilcox.  Mr.  Hart  believed  in  the  efficacy  of  advertising,  for  the  newspapers 
of  the  period  contained  in  each  issue  a  column  setting  forth  the  merits  and 
variety  of  the  merchandise  he  was  offering  to  the  "selection  of  a  judicious  and 
discriminating  public/'  and  he  was  evidently  one  of  the  most  prominent  of 
Meriden's  merchants  of  that  period.  He  is  still  living,  and  resides  in  Engle- 
wood,  one  of  Chicago's  suburbs.  This  building  was  also  destroyed  by  the 
fire  of  1864,  and  the  present  one  was  erected  by  H.  T.  Wilcox  shortly  after. 

The  building  known  as  No.  2  West  Main  street,  at  present  owned  by  the 
Wilcox  Realty  Co.,  and  now  occupied  by  Griswold,  Richmond  &  Clock  Co.^ 
was  erected  about  the  year  1851  by  the  late  Horace  C.  Wilcox,  who  had  not 
long  before  started  in  business  with  his  brother,  Dennis  C,  and  had  already 
begun  to  show  that  indomitable  push  and  energy  which  was  later  to  make 
him  such  a  factor  in  the  growth  and  enterprise  of  Meriden:  in  1853  the  east 
half  of  the  first  floor  of  this  block  was  leased  by  him  as  an  office  to  the  Meri- 
den Britannia  Co.,  which  had  just  been  organized,  while  in  1854  the  other  side 
.contained  the  jewelry  store  of  F.  A.  Grover,  but  which  had  been  replaced  in 
1857  by  the  tailor  shop  of  J.  H.  Stevens,  who  had  moved  there  from  the  west 
store  in  the  Rogers  block,  across  the  street  to  the  east :  he  had  been  in  Meriden 
only  a  short  time  and  was  trying  to  impress  on  the  Meriden  public  that  Lewis 
S.  Green  was  not  the  only  tailor  in  the  world.  Mr.  Stevens  was  of  a  jovial 
nature  and  popular,  and  became  a  well  known  character,  and  for  many  years 
continued  to  clothe  the  forms  of  those  of  the  masculine  gender,  apparently  to 
the  satisfaction  of  his  customers  if  not  to  that  of  his  rivals.  The  earliest 
advertisement  in  a  newspaper  that  the  writer  remembers  to  have  noticed, 
probably  on  account  of  its  constant  repetition  in  invariably  the  same  words 
and  arrangement,  was  an  announcement  which  continued  to  occupy  a  con- 
spicuous place  in  the  daily  press  for  at  least  twenty  years,  and  ran  precisely 
as  follows  "Still  they  come,  more  new  goods,  cheap  for  cash,  warranted  to  fit,  J. 
H.  Stevens."  This  continual  refrain  so  impressed  itself  on  the  boyish  imagi- 
nation that  the  belief  became  fixed  that  Mr.  Stevens  would  never  be  able  to  find 
a  place  large  enough  to  store  all  these  new  goods,  which  fancy  pictured  as  con- 
stantly being  dumped  into  his  place  of  business  by  an  unending  procession  of  ex- 
pressmen. 

Upstairs  on  the  top  floor  in  this  Wilcox  block,  Chas.  Page  in  1855  had  opened 
a  studio  for  the  production  of  daguerreotypes,  or  rather  ambrot>'pes,  as  what  was

considered  to  be  an  advance  in  the  photographer's  art  was  then  called,  and  the 
second  floor  was  supporting  the  printing  press,  and  furnishing  a  place  of  seclu- 
sion for  the  editor  of  the  ''Meriden  Observer,"  and  William  H.  Green,  a  skilled 
dnugfatsman  and  engraver,  (who  had  come  to  this  country  in  company  with  Frank 
Leslie  of  illustrated  newspaper  fame)  was  furnishing  in  an  adjoining  room  il- 
lustrations of  their  goods  for  various  manufacturers  of  Meriden. 

Just  west  of  this  block  was  a  frame  house  painted  white  which  had  been  the 
Inme  of  Major  Cowles  and  which  Mr.  Wilcox  was  then  using  as  his  dwelling: 
i  long  stretch  of  lawn,  ornamented  with  a  rustic  summer  house  and  a  flower 
garden  separated  this  house  from  the  home  of  Mrs.  Rosetta  Cowles,  the  widow  of 
tlie  Major,  which  she  and  her  brother,  Dr.  Isaac  I.  Hough,  had  lately  built ;  in  it 
vvere  also  living  at  this  time  Henry  C.  Butler  and  his  family,  and  his  daughter. 
Miss  Lucy  T.,  had  just  been  married  to  William  L.  Squire  (June  i8, 1856),  and  af- 
'er  a  notice  of  the  wedding  ceremony  the  editor  of  the  Meriden  Transcript  had 
inserted  'The  Printer  tenders  his  thanks  for  being  generously  remembered  in  the 
<i;-;rihution  of  cake/' 

This  house,  greath-  altered,  still  stands  in  its  original  location,  20  West  Main 
"Street,  just  west  of  the  First  National  l^ank  building,  and  in  one  section  of  it  Al- 
Un  Babb  now  dispenses  druggists'  supplies. 

A  little  west  of  this  in  a  building  which  has  given  place  to  the  brick  block  in 
w^ich  Louis  H.  Church  and  James  F.  Gill  are  scrving^  the  public  in  Nos.  30 

'  3-'  VVest  Main  street,  F.  E.  Hinman^  was  selling  books  and  stationery  and 
maniptdating  a  hand  power  printing  press  in  the  rear,  and  just  west  of  this  stood 
another  small  building  in  which  Joel  H.  Cuy  kept  the  West  Meriden  post  office 
^viien  the  fortunes  of  the  political  world  had  nut  sent  it  across  the  street  into  the 
l.etpinj;  of  Xoah  A.  Linsley  as  happened  now  and  then.  Mr.  Guy's  dwelling  house 
stornl  immediately  west  of  this  building,  and  in  it  was  the  first  home  of  the  Meri- 
fieri  Savings  Bank ;  it  stayed  there  for  a  year  or  two  and  then  moved  uptown  to 
Franklin  Hall ;  the  dwelling  house  now  stands  on  Morgan  street,  the  present  large 
v^hite  house,  34  West  Main  street,  having  taken  its  place  on  the  first  site. 

Across  the  street,  on  the  west  corner  of  High  School  avenue,  was  a  store  in 
which  Ward  Coe  was  trying  to  rival  Aaron  L.  and  C.  H.  Collins  in  the  grocery 
line,  and  on  the  corner  just  east  in  the  brick  block  now  known  as  Lewis'  but  then 
owned  hy  Levi  Eradlcy,  R.  L.  WeV)h  was  celling  rnnfcctinnery  in  the  west  store,

^-trcet.  while  in  1854  Stocking  &  Church  were  occupying  the  east  side  of  this 
Bradley  block  with  a  selection  of  novelties  and  notions  running  from  harmonicas  to 
bird  cages.    Walter  Hubbard  ( who  was  later  to  build  up  with  N.  L.  Bradley  the

this  store  for  a  while  with  a  line  of  dry  goods. 

East  of  this  block  at  21  where  R.  C.  Morse's  teiloring  shop  is  now  located 
and  in  the  same  building,  Lewis  S.  <  Ircen  was  carrx  ing  on  the  same  line  of  bus- 
iness, and  as  he  was  well  liked  and  hnspitahle  and  fond  of  hearing  the  talk  of  the 
dav.  his  tailor  shoj)  hccanic  the  rcndc/.vous  of  those  who  had  a  new  story  to  tell, 
a  little  gossip  to  retail,  a  new  scheme  to  unfold  or  de-^ired  to  pass  an  idle  hour  free 
from  the  cares  (^f  business.  This  little  builduig  must  have  been  well  crowded  with 
business  for  during  several  years  Xoah  Linsley  occupied  the  same  store  with  (ireen 
in  dispensing  b(M)ts  and  slioes  while  down  stairs  in  the  basement  in  1854  C.  A. 
Hotchkiss  was  serving  what  he  called  the  "Meriden  launch,"  and  in  1856  in  the 
same  place  C.  W.  Bradley,  with  less  ])atriotism  in  nomenclature,  was  running  a 
plain  "eating  saloon."  but  which  he  Hattered  himself  "could  not  be  excelled  in  Mer- 
iden in  the  variety  and  excellence  of  its  viands.'* 

In  the  block  now  occupied  by  F.  J.  Wheeler.  17-19  W  est  Main  street,  which 
has  already  been  described  as  the  Curtis  L.  Xorth  store,  after  the  Meriden  House 
had  been  built,  and  this  building  had  been  fronted  on  Main  street,  S.  U.  Parmelee 
in  1855  advertises  that  he  has  opened  a  grocery  store;  but  he  was  soon  succeeded 
by  D.  &  X.  G.  Miller  with  a  large  stock  of  dr}*  goods,  and  there  they  continued 
until  itS62. 

The  Meriden  House  block  wa>.  course,  considered  a  hnc  stand  for  merchants, 
and  in  1S54.  A.  T.irdsey  &  Co.,  who  had  l^een  located  in  the  east  part  of  the  liird- 
sey  block,  corner  of  P'ast  Main  and  Uroad  streets,  and  being  impressed  by  the  well- 
worn  ei)igrani  of  Ui.shup  iierkeley  that  "westward  the  course  of  emjjire  takes  its 
way  "  had  linally  yielded  to  the  inevitable  and  rented  the  north  store  in  the  new 
hotel  block,  on  Colony  street,  where  P.  T.  Ives  now  tempts  the  e}e  with  a  glitter- 
ing array  of  gold  and  silver  novelties.  Mr.  I'.irdsey  oj^ened  with  a  stuck  of  cloth- 
ing aiul  just  north  of  him  in  the  building  where  Adam  Orr  now  sells  meats  and 
vegetables,  William  D.  Smith  was  selling  in  1856  ice  cream  and  all  sorts  of  delec- 
table sweets. 

In  the  Meriden  House  block  just  south  of  A.  Birdsey  &  Co.  in  the  corner  store 
was  located  A.  C.  Wctmore  shortlv  succeeded  bv  Charles  V.  Colt  with  an  attrac- 
live  line  of  dry  goods. 

In  the  same  block  in  the  store  now  occupied  by  the  Western  Union  Telegraph 
office,  Edwin  L.  Yale  was  selling  newspapers  and  periodicals  of  the  day  and  soon 
succeeded  b\  Jtdius  Ives  with  a  stock  of  merchandise  which  he  was  selling  under 
the  sign  of  Cash  &  Exchange  Grocery  store,  and  the  west  store  was  occupied  bs 
Morris  Levy  with  a  line  of  ready-made  clothing,  and  when  he  got  through,  the 
room  was  used  by  the  hotel  as  a  bijliard  parlor. 

The  banking  building  which  had  been  erected  by  Curtis  L.  North  just  previous 
to  his  failure,  on  Colonv  street  next  to  Church  street,  stood  there  sevend  vears

crevious  to  its  removal  to  West  Main  street  as  has  been  described  elsewhere,  and 
when  the  Home  Bank  decided  to  climb  down  and  out  of  the  Collins  block  they 
moved  into  this  ill-fated  structure  and  sta>  e<l  there  until  1863  when  they  built  the 
present  banking  house. 

Xorth  of  this  was  the  First  Congregational  church,  presenting  its  dignified 
front,  graced  by  a  pediment  supported  by  six  Corinthian  columns  and  crowned  by 
a  spire  of  pleasing  proportions,  aiid  on  the  lot  north,  where  the  Winthtop  Hotel 
now  stands,  was  the  dwelling  house  of  the  widow  Cordelia  Couch  who  vied  with 
Mrs.  Merriam  of  Broad  street  in  producing  in  her  millinery  parlors  those  fasci- 
nating creations  so  dear  to  the  feminine  heart  and  still  more  dear  to  the  masculine 
pocketbook. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  street  where  the  Byxbee  House  block  now  stands  was 
located  the  homestead  of  William  Hale,  which  he  bought  in  1846  of  Richard  N. 

the  property  included  half  an  acre  and  we  have  already  noted  that  he  sold 
his  garden  plot  to  the  railroad  company  in  1853.  Mr.  Hale  began  the  manufac- 
ture of  suspenders  in  the  rear  part  of  the  house,  and  after  a  few  years  finding  his 
hasiness  rapidly  increasing,  built  a  shop  east  of  the  house  and  fronting  on  the 
railroad  track :  having  begun  to  make  carpet  bags  also  he  took  into  partnership* 
about  1852  Hezekiah  H.  Miller  and  Edwin  H.  Loomis.  He  sold  the  carpet  bag 
business  in  1855  to  Jedediah  Wilcox  who  had  begim  business  in  the  same  line 
some  years  previously  in  a  shop  which  stood  where  the  house  of  L.  C.  Brown  is 
'!or  located  at  Xo.  842  Broad  street :  from  thence  he  had  moved  to  a  factory  which 
he  had  erected  in  the  triangle  formed  by  the  junction  of  Pratt  and  Camp  streets, 
^nd  afterwards  building  a  shop  where  the  Wilcox  Silver  Plate  Co.  plant  is  now 
'  K-ated,  in  order  to  accommodate  his  new  line  of  balmorals  and  hoop  skirts.  Mr. 
Miller  went  into  company  with  Mr.  Wilcox  when  he  bought  the  carpet  bag  busi- 
ti^^N  and  Mr.  Hale  continued  in  his  own  shop,  taking  into  partnership  J.  S.  Nor- 

Sr.,  and  making  tape  measures  and  also  sewing-birds,  once  such  an  indispens- 
able requisite  to  a  woman's  work  table.  Mr.  Hale  subsequently  sold  the  plant  and 
house  to  Mr.  Xorton  and  bought  the  Meriden  House  which  he  made  his  home 
Limil  his  death.  Mr  Xorton  finally  sold  the  shop  and  business  to  the  Bradley  & 
Hubbard  Co.  and  both  house  and  shop  were  destroyed  by  fire  as  described  on  a 
subsequent  page. 

It  has  already  been  mentioned  that  the  Rogers  block  was  erected  hy  Major 
Bowles  in  1840  and  sold  by  Mrs,  Cowles  to  Hervcy  Rogers  in  1846.  The  latter 
itibsequently  enlarged  the  building  and  raised  it.  making  the  roof  flat  and  there

capcd  slave  who  had  come  to  Meriden  and  received  shelter  from  Homer  Curtiss. 
Although  the  son  of  a  colored  woman  his  father  was  said  to  have  been  the  brother 
of  James  K.  Polk,  president  of  the  I'nited  States.  Mr.  Jeff  rev  stayed  with  Jones 
a  few  months  as  an  employee  and  then  left  Meriden:  returning  in  a  year  or  so 
he  found  Jones  had  moved  his  shop  to  the  Conklin  hotel  across  the  street  in  the 
rear  part  wliere  we  liavf  noted  tlie  words  "Railroad  Refectory." 

The  hotel  was  at  that  time  under  the  management  of  Peter  Near  and  later  his 
wife.  Mr.  Jeffrey  worked  tor  Jones  two  or  three  years  and  then  bought  iiini  out 
(the  latter  moving  to  Si)ringtiel(l )  and  after  a  lime  Mr.  Jeffrey  moved  his  barber 
shop,  first  to  where  Adam  Orr  is  now  located  on  Colony  street;  then  to  Wilcox 
block,  No.  2  \N*est  Main  street,  and  later  to  the  Rogers  block  on  the  second  flour, 
and  there  continued  a  number  of  years  and  many  will  remember  the  large  eml>laz- 
oned  poster  which  used  to  stare  one  in  the  face  when  recHniug  in  one  of  the  barber 
chairs:  it  reatl  as  follows:  'Tt  chills  niy  blood  to  hear  the  great  Supreme  rudel\  ap- 
pealed to  on  such  trifling  themes.  Maintain  your  rank,  profanity  despise:  to  swear 
is  neither  brave.  i)olite,  nor  wise." 

This  sign  was  |)laced  there  after  a  scene  which  occurred  one  day  w^hen  the  late 
Rev.  Dr.  ( liles  H.  Deshon  and  h.dwin  E.  Curtis  were  in  the  shop  to  have  their  un- 
necessary hirsute  growth  removed.  A  couple  of  young  men  or  boys,  happening 
to  be  there  at  the  same  time,  were  indulging  in  a  most  foolish  and  unreasonable 
(Iis|)lay  of  profanity.  The  doctor  could  stand  it  for  a  short  time  only  and  turned 
and  rebuked  the  >oung  men  :  and  then  Mr.  jetfrey,  impressed  by  the  weight  of 
the  doctor's  remarks,  erected  the  sign. 

To  return  to  the  Rogers  block:  in  1854  E.  Levy  was  carrying  on  the  clothing 
business  in  one  of  the  stores  and  in  the  other  J.  R.  Clark  &-  Co.  were  selling  hats 
and  caps,  and  C.  V.  .\lwood  was  using  part  of  the  room  as  a  periodical  aiul  news 
stand  and  at  one  time  Asahel  Curtis.  Jr.,  was  there  selling  cigars  and  tobacco:  as 
already  noted  J.  H.  Stevens  was  al>o  for  a  short  time  selling  his  wonderful  accuiiiu* 
lation  of  "new  goods"  in  thi.s  building. 

In  the  Meriden  Recorder  for  Sept.  10,  1870,  we  read  that  C.  Rogers  &  Bros, 
(sons  of  liervey  Rogers)  are  ahout  to  retire  from  the  hotel  business  and  wish  to 
dispose  of  the  building  and  in  the  issue  of  September  2'>  following  it  is  announced 
that  the  establishment  is  closed.  On  the  6th  of  the  next  month  we  rea<l  that  the 
Rogers  Brothers  have  leased  their  hotel  to  the  Smith  Brothers  for  five  years.  The 
lessees  will  move  their  hair  dressing  establishment  to  the  building  and  continue  tlie 
hotel  as  heretofore." 

Where  Grant's  tea  store  is  located  in  Paddock's  block  on  the  corner  of  State 
and  Main  streets  was  a  building^  in  which  Merriam  &  Blakeslec  manufaciured  and

sold  tinware,  and  under  it  was  a  drug  store  and  just  a  little  further  east  was 
Wilbnot's  "furniture  emponum"  while  across  the  street  in  the  block  bounded  by 
Perkins^  Main  and  South  Colony  streets  and  the  railroad  track  was  the  lumber 
yard  of  Lyman  Clark,  and  south  of  it  where  Saleski's  fruit  store  now  stands  was 
his  steam  sawmill. 

During  this  growing  and  developing  period  there  had  been  formed  a  partner- 
ship blown  as  Lyon  &  Billard,  composed  of  George  W.  Lyon  and  John  D.  Bil- 
lard,  who  had  started  in  business  in  1847  on  Butler  street.  They  were  burned 
out  and  at  the  time  in  question  had  settled  down  in  the  locality  where  the  corpo- 
ration known  by  that  name  still  has  its  headquarters  except  that  its  growth  has 
largely  extended  the  original  premises. 

Many,  in  fact  probably  a  majority  of  the  buildings  mentioned  in  this  mid-cen- 
tury period,  were  erected  by  this  enterprising  firm. 

.Many  will  remember  the  old  wooden  bridge  that  once  spanned  Harbor  brook 
at  the  Main  street  crossing:  the  brook  must  run  under  a  part  of  Grant's  tea  store 
on  the  north  side  and  directly  beneath  Maurice  O'Brien's  market  on  the  south,  but 
the  stream  is  now  so  completely  hidden  by  bridge  and  buildings  that  it  is  difficult 
to  give  exact  locations.  In  the  Recorder  for  May  20,  1864,  we  read  "as  will  be 
MCD  by  our  report  of  the  town  meeting,  it  was  voted  last  Saturday  to  have  a  sub- 
stuitial  stone  arched  bridge  across  the  Harbor  Brook,  on  Main  street.  The  new 
bridge  is  to  be  sixty-six  feet  wide  or  twenty-eight  feet  wider  than  the  present 
hridge.  It  is  to  be  completed  during  the  coming  summer  and  autumn  and  is  to 
cost  a  stmi  not  exceeding  three  thousand  dollars." 

Before  leaving  this  description  of  the  business  center  of  the  village  of  Meriden 
between  the  years  1850- 1860,  we  must  not  forget  one  of  the  ineradicable  features 
which  remain  in  the  minds  of  every  one  who  has  a  recollection  of  those  days. 

In  the  junction  of  Main  and  Colony  streets  stood  an  elm  tree,  a  sign  post,  a  hay 
scales  and  a  pump  communicating  with  the  well  dug  by  John  Merriam  so  long  ago. 

According  to  a  letter  which  appeared  in  the  Meriden  Republican  on  September 
5«  1868,  from  William  J.  Screen,  this  elm  tree  was  planted  by  him  in  i  s^^4  at  the 
request  of  Dr.  Isaac  L  Hough.  Mr.  Screen  found  the  elm  in  the  woodland  near 
Cat  Hole  pass  and  dug  the  hole  for  it  in  the  junction  of  the  two  roads,  while  Dr. 
Hough  trimmed  the  branches  to  the  proper  portions:  and  then  it  was  planted  while 
Dr.  Hough  stood  by  and  directed  the  work  and  finall}  paid  all  bills.  There  the 
tree  continued  to  grow  and  flourish  until  it  was  scorched  and  badly  damaged  by  the 
great  fire  of  March  9, 1864. 

It  was  hoped  that  a  few  years  would  enable  the  tree  to  overcome  the  damage, 
bat  in  1868  it  was  determined  to  take  it  down  and  its  valedictory  appeared  in  the 
Republican  as  follows:  "The  tree  was  planted  and  grew  as  the  city  grew,  and  as 
*hc  city  throve  and  as  manufactories  arose,  so  did  the  elm  spread  forth  its  branches 
and  increase  in  beauty  and  in  strength.   Under  its  ample  shade  stump  speakers

have  orated,  lecturers  have  lectured,  divines  liave  lield  forth,  and  quacks  have 
g^ulled  the  pnhlir  and  carried  thousands  of  dollars  from  the  town.  When  the  ped- 
dlers of  the  futiu  e  dock  to  the  usual  trysting  place  they  will  find  it  no  more !  their 
profit  as  well  as  its  glory  has  departed.  "  On  Aug.  22,  i8()8,  the  same  paper  says 
that  "stern  necessity  has  compelled  the  removal  of  the  old  elm  tree  from  the  middle 
of  our  most  crowded  thoroughfare  and  in  view  of  the  immediate  removal  o£  the 
obnoxious  old  pump  and  sign  post  everybody  is  pleased  with  the  change.** 

The  tempernnce  movement^  which  for  .some  time  had  aj^itated  the  community 
finally  crystallized  into  the  establishment  of  what  was  called  the  Young  Men's  In- 
.«titnte.  The  first  meeting  was  held  l-eh.  2.  1853,  in  the  lecture  rnnm  that  stood 
in  the  rear  i>f  the  l-'ir>>t  Congregational  church.  It  at  once  became  popular,  for  the 
membership  embraced  the  most  influential  of  the  yomig  men  of  .Meriden  and 
man\  of  those  of  rii)er  years:  attractive  rooms  were  fitted  uj)  in  the  Collins  block 
and  weekly  meetings  were  held,  at  which  debates  took  place  and  a  series  of  lec- 
tures was  given  each  year  in  the  town  hall  or  other  convenient  places.  Many  of 
ilie  most  prominent  speakers  of  the  country  were  among  the  lecturers  and  the  in- 
stitution l)ecame  a  great  help,  giving  young  men  a  chance  to  acquire  knowledge 
and  information  who  would  otherwise  have  had  jierliaps  no  inclination  or  at  least 
opportunity  to  come  in  ctMitact  with  the  l)e.st  thought  of  the  time.  A  library  of 
several  hundred  volumes  was  contained  in  the  rooms  and  the  influence  of  the  In- 
stitute was  felt  in  many  ways  through  the  whole  comnumity.  .\s  already  stated, 
the  rooms  were  changed  to  the  town  hall  in  1855  and  it  was  maintained  for  per- 
haps a  dozen  or  fifteen  years,  and  when  at  last  it  ceased  to  exist  the  books  were 
inherited  by  the  V.  M.  C.  A. 

Before  l84<;  Julius  Andrews  had  opened  a  i>lace  of  anuisement  and  recreation 
known  as  Hendock  Grove,  which  speedily  became  very  ])opular  ;  indee<l  it  is  not 
so  many  years  ago  since  the  Grove  was  still  a  popular  place  of  resort,  where  Sun- 
day school  ])ienics  were  held  and  various  societies  and  organizations  availed  them- 
selves of  the  attractions  afforded  by  its  grateful  shade  and  novel  entertainments. 

1  To  show  to  what  oxirfmfi  the  temperance  movement  was  once  carried  in  tbto  town,  tiM  follftwllif 
vote  is  quoted.  pas8c4  nt  a  town  meeting  beld  June  3.  1842: 

"RemtvfA,  That  whereas  the  unlimited  sate  of  Ardeot  spirits  Is,  In  Aur  of»1nloB.  Injurioos  to  the 

purrhnser,  and  the  laiise  of  a  Krf.if  proportion  of  our  poor  Tnxt  s,  and  Uiat  the  sal*'  Is*,  tu  our  opinion, 
a  source  of  con.siderable  profit  to  tbe  neller.  we  arc  therefore  of  opinion  that  all  profit  arising  from 
the  »ale  whottM  go  Into  the  Town  Treasury  to  help  pay  our  poor  rates:  we.  therefore,  the  Tnhabltants 
of  this  Town  would  authorize  the  Civil  authority  and  Selectmen  to  apr»oiiit  sonu-  siiitablo  pi  tmhi  to  be 
furnished  by  tbe  said  Selectmen  with  a  good  article  of  Spiritoua  Liquors  and  Wines  to  be  sold  on  ac- 
count of  the  town,  and  the  profits  arising  from  said  sale  shall  be  paid  Into  the  Treasury  of  the  Town, 
add  that  the  perHons  t^o  authorized  Khali  be  required  to  )<ecp  a  record  of  the  quantity  (told,  tbe  quantity 
purchaised  by  cnch  individual,  with  their  names,  sod  a  true  report  made  to  the  next  annual  meeting  of 
this  Town."     Vote  wa«  adopted,  ayes  85.  nays  57. 

Shortly  afterwards  the  question  again  came  up,  because  the  previous  act  bad  not  been  propdy 
cnforofd  by  the  Selectmen,  and.  naturally,  the  pendulum  swinging  the  other  way.  a  vote  was  proposed 
which  authorized  any  Inhabitant  to  have  liberty  of  using  or  vending  spirltuouii  liquors.  Tbe  re«olu-

In  the  Connecticut  Whig  of  October  20»  1852,  appears  the  following  advertise- 
ment: 

"Bowling!  Bowling! 

The  Lovers  of  this  hcahhful  and  ag^reeable  exercise  are  respectfully  informed 
that  the  far-fanied 

Hemlock  Grove  Alleys  I 

arc  open  to  the  public  every  day  and  evening  in  the  year .( Sundays  excepted). 
The  establishment  is  con(Uictcd  on  strictly  temperance  principles  and  nothing 
nc{jlected  that  will  contribute  to  the  comfort  of  those  who  may  favor  it  with 
tiwir  calls." 

"n  page  380  i>  a  reduced  facsimile  of  a  poster  issued  in  1857  which,  in  glow- 
in?  words,  pictures  the  attractions  of  tlie  place  and  gives  an  idea  of  how  popular 
the  resort  had  Ixcunic. 

Another  place  of  resort  was  on  West  Peak  where  attractions  had  been  placed 
thi  drew  a  multitude  of  nature's  admirers. 

In  the  Whig  of  February  ly,  1853,  we  are  told  that 

"Mr.  W.  J.  Cadwell  of  Hanover,  is.  we  understand,  eng^ed  in  an  enterprise 
^vhich  will  make  the  'Hanging  Hills  of  Meriden,'  and  esj)ecially  West  Peak,  as 
i^iniiiiar  as  'household  words.'  He  is  cnnstructing  a  road  from  the  Waterbury 
turnpike  to  the  summit  of  the  Peak,  which  will  he  of  so  easy  a  grade  the  ascent  will 
>Qrcely  be  felt.  A  house  is  to  be  erected  on  the  Peak,  and  a  telescope  of  great 
["  wcr.  which  is  now  being  manufactured  in  New  York,  at  a  cost  of  $8oo,  will  be 
mounted  on  a  revolving  pedestal,  affording  a  view  scarcely  surpassed  in  extent* 
\ariety  of  sccncry  and  beauty.  With  West  Peak,  Hemlock  Grove  and  Cold  Spring 
we  shall  have  summer  resorts  superior  to  any  inland  town  in  New  England." 

The  house  was  duly  completed  and  tiie  telescope  installed  ;  hut  the  next  \  ear 
'twas  being  conducted  by  A.  J.  Hills  and  for  several  years  it  was  one  ot  llie  at- 
tractions of  the  town.    It  was  destroyed  by  fire  all  of  forty  years  ago. 

Capt.  Geo.  B.  Conklin,  who  for  several  years  owned  and  managed  the  Meriilen 
Hotel  already  described,  afterwards  disposed  of  it  to  Peter  Xear  and  his  wife,  who 
^nstntained  it  for  a  number  of  years.  Captain  Conklin,  however,  did  not  intend 
'0  ifive  up  the  hotel  business  but  had  larger  ambitions  than  could  be  satisfied  by 
he  hotel  at  the  comer  of  Railroad  avenue  and  Main  street.    In  the  Whig  of  July

This  building  is  now  known  as  the  old  poor  house,  having:  been  abandon* 
when  the  present  *'Cold  Spring  Home"  was  built  a  few  years  ajjo.  It  was  Cap

and  other  larjje  i)laces  seeking  a  spot  for  rest  and  recreation,  and  indeed,  in  thoi

EARLY  HISTORY. 


lys  it  was  a  romantic  and  charming  place;  the  Captain  had  built  a  rustic  stone 
5\vling  alley  and  the  spring  at  that  time  was  celebrated  on  account  of  the  great 
>Idness  of  its  waters ;  for  a  number  of  years  it  was  a  place  of  resort  for  Meridcn 
fiople,  and  it  also  seems  to  have  had  a  New  York  clientage.^ 

The  property  was  acquired  by  the  town  about  i860.  The  writer  is  in  posses- 
ion of  a  diary  of  the  period  which  gives  accounts  of  excursions  and  picnics  of  the 
nung  people  of  that  day  and  the  names  of  Hemlock  Grove,  Conklin's  Cold  Spring 
louse  and  Hill's  West  Peak  House  occur  frequently  in  its  pages. 

It  seems  to  have  been  in  the  period  just  mentioned  that  the  attempt  was  begun 
^  induce  the  public  to  buy  building  lots  in  that  portion  of  Meriden  known  for 
ian>  years  as  New  City. 

If  there  is  crystallized  truth  in  the  aphorism  of  Montesquieu  stating  that 
Happy  the  people  whose  annals  are  blank  in  history-books"  then  Meriden  must 
ave  been  a  very  happy  place  during  these  and  succeeding  years.  The  town  was

The  pages  following  are  mostly  gleaned  from  the  diaries  and  newspapers  of  the

iir  idea  of  the  events  of  succeeding  years  can  be  gained  in  this  way. 

In  an  issue  of  the  Whig  dated  Sept.  15,  1853,  attention  is  called  to  the  rapidity 
f  the  work  in  constructing  the  State  Reform  School  building ;  the  location  of  the

The  new. town  house  was  duly  and  properly  opened  on  the  date  announj 
viz.  Dec.  5,  1855,  fi'^^  P^^  to  ^^^^       ''Grand  Congratulate 

Festival*'  was  a  lecture  by  Heni^  Ward  Beecher  on  the  evening  of  December  2M 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Young  Men's  Institute ;  the  subject  was  "Patriotism/'  aa 
the  editor  of  the  Weekly  Transcript  does  not  seem  to  have  been  greatly  impressJ 
by  the  famous  man's  efforts  for  he  says  under  date  of  Jan.  3,  1856,  *'As  a  tecturi 
he  is  the  most  able,  the  most  conceited,  the  most  pathetic,  the  most  silly,  the  mcl 
elpquent,  and  the  roost  vulgar  that  we  ever  saw  stand  before  a  refined  audience! 
y  The  first  town  meeting  took  place  in  the  new  building  Mar.  31,  1856.  Prd 
ytously  the  basements  of  the  Center  Congregational  and  the  Broad  Street  Baptil 
churches  had  been  used,  not  only  for  town  meetings  but  for  elections  as  well. 

As  already  announced,  the  rooms  of  the  Young  Men's  Institute  were  moved  to 
the  town  hall  and  thenceforth  the  various  lectures  arranged  by  this  associatiofl 
were  held  in  the  hall  and  indeed  all  amusements  that  required  a  large  auditoriunl 
were  held  there.  In  1889  it  was  decided  to  enlarge  and  remodel  the  building  and 
the  work  was  finished  in  1891.  On  the  morning  of  February  14th,  1904,  it  was 
totally  destroyed  by  fire.  On  Tuesday,  Aug.  17, 1858,  a  very  elaborate  celebration 
of  the  completion  of  the  laying  of  the  Atlantic  Cable  or  Ocean  Telegraph,  as  it 
was  called,  was  held  in  the  town  hall.  At  9  o'clock  a.  m.  the  Amerkran  and  British 
flags  were  floated  from  the  dome  and  a  discharge  of  three  signal  guns  notified 
the  public  that  news  had  been  received  of  an  exchange  of  messages  between  the 
Queen  of  England  and  the  President  of  the  United  States.  Bells  be^n  to  ring  and 
a  cannon  in  charge  of  the  Light  Guards  belched  forth  its  thunder  in  a  national  sa- 
lute of  thirty-two  g:uns  in  the  morninjj  and  twenty-one  guns  in  the  afternoon.  In 
the  evening  a  crowded  meeting  was  held  in  the  hall  at  which  General  Walter  l>ooth 
presided  and  ringini^:  speeches  were  made  1)\  Rev.  Mr.  Miller.  Judge  James  S 
Brooks,  Dr.  James  Wylie,  Dr.  Hatch,  Dexter  R.  Wright  and  others.  A  brass  banJ 
was  present,  patriotic  songs  were  sung,  the  hall  was  beautifully  illuniinated.  and  af- 
ter the  meeting  a  procession  through  the  streets  took  place  in  wliieli  the  Light 
Guards  took  part,  accompanied  by  bands  from  Meriden  and  Wallingford:  the 
streets  were  brilliantly  lit  by  bonfires  and  an  enormous  one  was  made  on  West 
1  'eak.  Altogether  it  was  one  of  the  most  spectacular  events  that  had  ever  taken 
place  in  Mcridcn. 

The  weekly  press  consisting  of  the  Whig,  the  Transcript  and  the  Chroniclt, 
covering  the  period  from  about  1852  to  1859,  contains  little  of  local  news  but 
mixh  information  was  printed  in  the  advertisements  which  have  been  freely 
consulted  in  the  foregoing  pages  Hut  with  the  establishment  of  Riggs'  Literary 
Recorder  in  1863  considerable  o£  local  interest  was  printed  and  one  of  the  first 
articles  of  this  nature  w  liieli  seems  to  the  writer  to  contain  matter  worth  inserting 
in  these  pages  in  an  abridged  form  is  the  following  from  the  issue  of  Sept.  26.

DESTRUCTIVE  FIRE 

$72,000  WORTH  OF  PROI'KRl  V  1  >i:S  I  Rf)Vt;i) 
ONE  MAN  killed:  TWO  SERIOUSLY  INJURED. 

The  most  destructive  fire  our  town  ever  witnessed  occurred  Wednesday  morn- 
ing (\farch  9],  consuming  five  buildings,  seventy-two  thousand  dollars*  worth  of 
property  and  burning  seventeen  different  firms  and  families  out  of  doors.  The 
fire  originated  in  Andrews  Exchange  Building  and  was  first  discovered  by 
George  A.  Fay  shortly  after  two  o'clock  (midnight)  when  he  saw  the  reflection 
of  the  fire  upon  his  walls.'  lie  immediately  arose  and  before  he  had  succeeded  in 
getting  dressed  the  light  disappeared.  He  watched  some  five  minutes  to  see  if 
anything  more  could  be  discovered :  but  seeing  nothing  he  again  retired.  It  did 
not  at  that  time  occur  to  him  that  it  might  be  a  fire  and  he  took  no  notice  of  the 
matter  tilt  some  twenty  minutes  afterwards  when  the  fire  was  again  reflected  with 
considerable  brilliancy.  Upon  going  to  the  window,  he  could  plainly  see  sparks 
and  brands  of  fire  dropping  through  the  second  floor  into  H.  T.  Wilcox  &  Co.'s 
grocery  store  directly  beneath.  He  immediately  dressed,  gave  the  alarm  and 
rushed  down  to  Lyman  ClarkV  and  caused  the  steam  whistle  to  be  sounded.  At 
ibis  time  and  for  half  an  hour  afterwards,  an  ordinary  fire  engine  would  have  saved 
the  adjoining  buildings  on  either  side.  Mr.  Fay  now  set  himself  about  getting 
out  the  safe  and  stock  of  Mr.  D.  F.  Southwick^  who  was  absent  in  New  York  and 
also  made  an  effort  to  secure  the  valuable  library  of  Hon.  O.  H.  Piatt  whose  of-

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


fice  he  reached  by  ascending  the  water  cntiductiiig  pipes.  lUil  the  intensity  of  the 
atmosphere  rendered  it  impossible  for  him  to  penetrate  the  room  and  lie  was  ohh'j^ed 
to  give  over  the  undertaking.  The  rtames  soon  generated  a  gas  amoni^^  the  chem- 
icals, and  when  the  walls  of  the  buildings  became  sufficiently  weakened,  they  were 
suddenly  thrown  outward.  Some  twenty  persons  were  standing  in  front  of  the 
building,  on  or  near  the  walk,  where  the  walls  fell  over,  when  they  all  rushed  back, 
receiving  trifling  injuries,  but  three  men  were  seriously  injured.  Mr.  Porter  Ed- 
gerton,  engraver,  was  struck  on  the  head  by  the  fallitig  w  alls  and  rendered  sense- 
less. He  was  dragged  from  the  ruins  and  carried  to  the  depot  and  expired  in  half 
an  hour.**  The  buildings  destroyed  b\  this  tire  were  Omklin's,  or  Near's  hotel,  the 
Collins  block,  .\ndrews*  Exchange,  and  the  building  stamling  where  Mosher  s 
Drug  store  is  located,  at  that  time  occupied  by  W.  A.  Butler. 

From  the  diary  of  George  A.  Fay  the  writer  has  learned  of  another  fire  which 
broke  out  at  3  a.  ni.  on  Se{)t.  5,  i8(j2,  in  the  machine  shop  just  south  of  the  rail- 
road station  when  it  was  located  on  Winthrop  Square.  The  shop  was  destroyed, 
the  house  of  J.  S.  Norton,  Sr.,  just  west  of  it.  was  also  burned  to  the  ground  and 
the  passenger  station  badlv  damaged.  The  shop  at  that  time  was  occupied  by 
some  one  making  sewing  birds  for  Bradley  &  Hubl>ard  Mfg.  Co. 

On  Tulv  16,  1870,  occurred  the  great  tire  which  completely  destroyed  the  two 
top  floors  of  the  main  building  of  the  Meriden  Britannia  Co.  The  Republican  of 
that  date  has  this  to  say : 

"The  most  terrible  fire  which  has  ever  afflicted  this  cit\-  broke  out  this  morning 
in  the  Meriden  Britannia  Company's  works."  "The  fire  originated  in  the  top- 
most story  at  the  north  part  of  the  brick  building.  At  about  two  o'clock  [a.  m.  ] 
a  disagreeable  smoke  was  smelt  in  the  composing  room  of  the  Republican  oflSce 
*  *  *  In  ten  minutes  afterwards  the  Britannia  shop  gong  blew  out  its  stern 
summons.  The  2  a.  m.  down  train  at  this  moment  came  along  and  added  its  warn- 
ing voice*  and  the  alarm  l)ecomii^  general  the  cit\  fire  department  were  soon  an 
the  spot.  *  *  *  The  flames  spread  rapidly  and  the  firemen  were  unable  to 
stay  its  slow  but  sure  onward  progress.  *  *  *  in  twenty  minutes  after  the 
fire  was  first  discovered  the  flames  burst  through  the  roof.  At  3  a.  ni.  the  roof 
fell  tn  with  a  tremendous  crash  and  the  flames  increased  in  their  intensity."  Ac* 
tive  work  saved  the  two  lower  floors  from  destruction,  but  the  loss  was  great  and 
for  several  months  the  large  force  employed  by  the  company  was  thrown  out 
of  work,  and  the  damage  not  only  to  the  company  but  to  the  community  at  large, 
was  very  great. 

On  March  i,  1863,  the  Messrs.  Byxbee  Bros.  (John  C.  and  Major  Theodore) 
began  the  erection  of  a  wooden  hotel  building  just  south  of  Winthrop  Square  (or 
the  passenger  station  of  Ae  N.  Y.  &  N.  H.  R.  R.  as  it  was  then)  and  for  several 
years  conducted  a  well  appointed  hostelry:  on  Mar.  21,  i868v  the  building  was  de-

EARLY  HISTORY. 


Strayed  by  fire  and  for  a  time  it  was  feared  that  the  entire  block  of  buildings  south 
to  Main  street  would  follow  In  its  wake;  but  diligent  effort  by  the  firemen  confined 
the  conflagration  to  the  hotel.  The  embers  had  hardly  begun  to  cool  before  the  Byx- 
bee  Brothers  had  started  to  clear  away  the  debris  and  soon  the  walls  of  the  present 
brick  block  were  in  process  of  construction. 

The  factory  of  the  Meriden  Woolen  Co.  was  built  by  the  firm  of  J.  Wilcox  & 
La  in  1865.  Their  factory  had  been  previously  located  where  the  present  plant  of 
the  Wilcox  Stiver  Plate  Co.  branch  of  the  International  Co.  is  situated,  on  the  south 
side  of  Pratt  street.  On  May  3,  1865,  completely  destroyed  the  old  shop, 
throwing  the  workmen  out  of  employment  and  stopping  for  a  while  the  large  pro- 
duction of  goods  which  had  been  placed  on  the  market  in  increasing  quantities  by 
this  enterprising  firm.  It  was  considered  at  the  time  as  the  most  disastrous  fire 
that  had  ever  visited  Meriden. 

In  the  year  1869  there  was  standing  between  the  block  now  occupied  by  Gris- 
woldy  Richmond  &  Clock  and  the  First  National  Bank,  the  old  Elisha  A.  Cowles 
residence,  used  at  the  time  by  Mrs.  Moses  Wright  as  a  boarding  house ;  west  of 
that  a  structure  once  the  home  of  the  post  office  and  immediately  west  of  that,  the 
dry  goods  store  conducted  by  the  firm  of  Williams  &  Smith.  On  the  morning  of 
I^'  3f  1869,  at  2  a.  m.,  a  fire  was  discovered  in  the  old  post  office  building  and 
in  spite  of  all  efforts  that  structure,  Mrs.  Wright's  boarding  house  and  the  dry 
goods  store  were  completely  destroyed  by  the  conflagration. 

In  1870  H.  C.  Wilcox  began  the  erection  of  the  block  which  now  occupies  the 
site  of  these  burned  structures,  ground  being  broken  Feb.  15.  It  was  so  much  in 
advance  of  any  building  previously  erected  in  Meriden  that  it  was  called  Palace 
Block,  a  name  which  it  retains  to  this  day. 

In  the  month  of  March,  i860,  occurred  a  very  destructive  fire  which  destroyed 
the  block  of  buildings  on  the  north  side  of  East  Main  street  from  State  to  Pratt 
streets.  It  began  in  the  "furniture  emi>oriuin  "  l)eIonging  to  George  R.  W'ilhnot 
and  on  acoount  of  the  limited  apparatus  for  fighting  fire  in  those  days  the  district 
was  swept  clean. ^ 

In  giving  a  list  of  places  of  amusement  in  Meriden  during  this  period  one  has 
1 '^cn  Dniitted  that  was  so  bizarre,  quaint  and  unique  that  a  place  in  the  list  is  cer- 
tainly deserved.  Reference  is  had  to  what  wa^  known  as  I'agle  Cottage  on  South 
Colony  street  on  ground  now  occupied  by  the  Meriden  Brewing  Company.  The 
earliest  reference  to  it  that  the  writer  can  find  is  contained  in  the  issue  of  the  Re- 
corder under  date  Xovember  13,  1863,  and  then  evidently  on  account  of  one  of  the 
^'ccentricities  of  architecture  or  ornamentaticm  developed  by  that  singular  man,

was  convulsed  into  various  contortions  in  his  efforts  to  get  the  mastery  of 
beast  of  prey.  Like  arrangements  were  scattered  about  the  grounds;  the  h 
was  painted  in  a  most  surprising  combination  of  black  and  white,  as  if  it  had  i>c^ 
raining  paint  on  South  Colony  street,  and  in  an  apple  tree  was  built  a  pai 
where  ice  cream  and  lemonade  were  served.  As  the  years  went  by  the  place 
tracted  so  much  attention  that  Mr.  Allen  determined  to  make  of  it  a  place  of  < 
ment.  According  to  the  Republican  of  April  12,  1870,  Mr.  Allen  was  given  pa\ 
mission  that  week  to  build  a  wooden  house  on  his  premises  for  the  purpose  of 
ing  a  music  room,  menagerie  and  **happy  family/'  and  on  June  15,  1870, 
ing  to  the  same  paper  ''Norman  Allen  s  picturesque  residence,  with  its  beaudi 
grounds  will  be  opened  to  the  public  this  evening.  Should  the  weather  be  fiii 
able  a  grand  display  of  fireworks  will  take  place.  The  balloon  parlor  wiS 
lighted  with  gas,  the  English  lion  ignominiously  suspended  in  chains  to  the 
of  a  very  big  spread  eagle,  the  emblem  of  this  glorious  country,  will  roar  grat^ 
the  eagle  will  favor  the  public  with  its  best  screech,  Norman  Allen  will  deliver  ^ 
inaugural  address,  the  band  will  play  and  so  will  the  fountains,"  etc 
In  the  Recorder  of  June  5,  1871,  wc  read: 

"The  most  noticeable  feature  of  South  Colony  street  is  Mr.  Norman  AlU 
Eagle  Cottage  and  ice  cream.  We  visited  Mr.  Allen's  place  on  Saturday  evcni 
and  were  more  than  satisfied  with  what  we  saw  and  beards  The  Rocky  Mount 
scene  interested  us  more  than  anything  else.  Here  a  train  of  cars,  loaded  wi4 
passengers,  has  just  emerged  from  the  tunnel  and  is  proceeding  on  its  way.  O

number  of  stereoscopic  views  *  outside  there  is  every  convenience  for  t\ 
who  wish  to  test  Mr.  Allen's  ice  cream/*  A  really  surprising  amount  of  mecl 
ical  ingenuity  was  shown  by  Mr.  Allen  in  producing  his  different  attractions. 
several  years  the  place  ministered  to  the  amusement  of  the  people  and  then 
the  Arab  he  folded  his  tent  and  stole  away  to  places  where  the  shekels  were 
plentiful  and  the  crowd  of  pleasure  seekers  more  numerous.  When  one  pa«4 
the  place  and  sees  the  complete  metamorphosis,  one  realizes  how  true  is  the  $a\ii^ 
that  "the  place  that  has  known  him  shall  know  him  no  more.*'  But  who  that  c! 
visited  the  museum  will  forget  its  strange  attractions,  or  the  son  of  the  proprit

a  city.  Its  rapid  growth  had  spread  abroad  the  feeUng  that  Meriden  was  bound 
to  become  a  large  coiiiniunity  and  now  and  then  estimates  of  future  growth  had 
been  made,  based  on  the  rapid  increase  in  ini[)ortance  of  some  of  the  manufacturing 
industries  and  the  location  and  formation  of  new  plants.  As  already  stated,  the 
census  of  i860  showed  7.426  souls,  or  an  increase  of  over  100  per  cent,  in  ten 
years.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  showing  in  1870  was  only  10495,  ^ 
apparent  that  some  of  the  estimates  had  been  over  sanguine. 

MERIDEN  A  CITY. 

The  city  of  Meriden  was  incorporated  by  act  of  the  ( icneral  Assembly  Jiil\  1 1. 

1867.  and  on  July  24,  18^)8.  an  aiiictidment  to  the  charter  was  passed  in  order  to 
peniiit  the  construction  of  a  water  supply  or  city  reservoir. 

The  first  election  resulted  in  the  choice  of  the  following  officers:  Mayor, 
Charles  Parker;  clerk,  John  H.  llano:  aldermen,  Willi  in  j.  Ives,  Hiram  LJutler, 
<ieorge  \V.  Lyon,  Jcdcdiah  Wilcox  ,  conncilmen.  1.  :r.  J.  Curtis,  Owen  U.  .Ar- 
nold. Charles  L.  Upham,  Charles  A.  Roberts.  MczckuLh  H.  .Miller.  Eli  Ives.  Augus- 
tus C.  .\Iarkham.  Eli  C.  Butler.  Aaron  L.  Collins,  Isaac  C.  Lewis.  Jared  R.  Cook, 
Jared  Lewis.  Horace  C.  Wilcox.  Dennis  C.  Wilco.x,  John  C.  Byxbee.  Walter  Hub- 
hard :  treasurer,  Asahel  H.  Curtis;  collector,  Samuel  O.  Church;  auditor,  Joel  H. 
Guy. 

This  was  certainly  a  selection  of  a  ver\  liigh  order  ;  they  were  all  men  of  abil- 
it>-  and  althouj^h  etner]>risin.c:,  they  also  possessed  a  t^'reat  fund  of  business  sense 
and  sagacity  ihai  >iarted  the  city  under  the  best  jKissiljle  auspices. 

The  change  seemed  to  inspire  the  community  with  a  desire  to  take  every  meas- 
ure or  step  that  could  add  to  the  genuine  improvement  and  api)earance  of  the  city. 
^Vithin  a  year  or  two  the  following  dwellings  were  erected — all  creditable  to  the 
cit\  :  George  A.  Fay.^  1868;  Lemuel  J.  Curtis.^  1868:  Julius  Pratt,='  1868;  Edward 
Miller.*  1868;  Henry  T.  W^ilcox."^  1868;  Jedediah  Wilcox.*  1870,  considered  at  the 
time  one  of  the  finest  residences  in  Connecticut,  and  now  the  home  of  Dexter  W. 
Parker.    The  Comer  district  schoolhouse  was  completed  and  dedicated  Sept.  4, 

1868.  St  Andrew's  Episcopal  church  was  completed  in  1867,  and  the  Methodist 
church  was  dedicated  June  26.  1868,  and  the  Main  Street  Baptist  church  was  ded- 
icated July.  1868,  and  in  the  same  year  the  Center  district  schoolhouse  was  built, 
and  also  the  engine  house  and  police  station  on  Pratt  street,  now  the  property  o{ 
the  Turner  society,  and  the  N.  Y..  N.  H.  &  H.  R.  R.  Co.  began  the  erection  in  the 
same  year  of  the  present  freight  station  north  of  Camp  street,  and  in  the  following

year  after  great  debate  and  much  hot  discussion  the  city  began  the  building  ot 
first  reservoir  now  known  as  Merimere. 

In  1868,  after  much  complaint  of  the  lack  of  adequate  police  protection, 
cit\  decided  to  create  a  force  which  would  at  least  be  the  nucleus  of  a  future  aoj 
larger  body  of  blue  coated  men.  so  on  Monday  evening,  September  14th,  the  C'^m*" 
nion  council  elected  Jared  P.  Parker,  chief  of  police,  and  on  November  17.  i868i 
the  following  men  were  added  to  the  force:  S.  S.  Wilcox,  A.  H.  M.  J 'rati  ivA 
George  \'an  Nostrand.  Un  Mondax  cveninj^\  DeceniUer  5,  Mr.  i'latt  having  iifc- 
clined  to  serve,  Capt.  Roger  M.  Ford  was  elected  to  fill  the  vacancy. 

Some  of  the  arguments  used  in  opixjsing  the  appointment  of  a  i)<)lice  force  arc 
rather  amusing.  One  alderman  said  Middletown  had  given  up  their  police  f'>rBe 
because  they  found  they  bred  riots  :  another  said  he  didn  t  believe  we  needed  1 
police  force,  for  \Vatcrl)ury  liad  only  one  man  and  he  had  nothing  to  do  :  anoibd 
who  was  opposed  to  ])aying  a  fair  rate  of  pay,  said  it  was  a  lazy  sort  of  life 
way  and  he  would  be  glad  to  take  such  a  position  at  $2  per  day. 

During  the  year  i8<><;  the  grading  and  widening  of  the  following  ^lreet^  ^1 
begun:  Hroad,  Pratt,  Colony.  Main,  Liberty,  and  Curtis.  The  great  chango  il 
the  profiles  and  widths  produced  many  lawsuits  but  they  were  finally  adjustn 
by  compromise  or  the  decisions  uf  the  courts,  and  Meriden  began  gradually  wiU 
her  changed  streets  bordered  by  flag  sidewalks,  to  take  the  appearance  of  the  nKxi 
ern  city. 

On  May  9,  1870,  the  common  council  passed  a  by-law  relating  to  the  nunitter 
ing  of  houses  and  lots  and  on  May  23  the  same  year  the  council  adopted  the  msm 
of  streets  that  are  still  retained  by  those  thoroughfares  then  in  existence. 

The  really  final  event  to  convince  Meriden  that  it  was  at  last  a  city  was  th 
announcement  in  the  Republican  under  date  of  Sept.  7.  1869  that  "canvasser^;  r.

NEWSPAPERS  OF  MERIDEN. 

The  newspajHTs  of  the  period  have  been  frcqnentlv  mentioned  in  the  fc^"; 
going  pages  and  they  evidently  played  an  important  part  in  the  daily  life  ot 
people 

The  t\r<\  m  vvspaper  printed  in  Meriden  was  called  "Northern  Literary  Mo' 
senger  '  and  published  by  O.  G.  Wilson.  A  copy  in  the  w  riter  s  possession  dat« 
Feb.  ?  iS4().  snvs  it  is  "edited  bv  an  Association  of  Gentlemen"  and  "Devoted 
Literature  and  the  Arts."  This  copy  is  No.  5  of  Vol.  IV.,  which  would  seen>  il 
bear  out  the  statement  in  an  article  of  The  Meriden  Press-Recorder  under  ' 
March  28,  1883,  that  the  first  number  of  the  Messenger  appeared  in  Septemi«ni 
1844.  The  local  news,  as  usual  in  that  period,  amounted  to  nothing  but  the  aj 
vertisements  gave  us  a  little  information.  The  paper  was  printed  in  a  buildin] 
that  stood  just  west  of  the  Center  Congregational  church  where  the  Central  Hoij

made  its  appearance  before  its  publication  was  suspended  and  on  March  24.  1849, 
the  '"Meriden  Weekly  Mercury"  made  its  bow  to  tlie  public  under  the  managc- 
nient  of  O.  d.  W  ilson  and  (ieo.  \V.  W  eeks,  as  succchsor  to  the  Messenger  and  in 
an  editorial  the  announcement  is  made  that  "The  Messenger"  "is  dead!  Stark  dead! 
It  (lied  a  natural  death  on  the  3rd  uf  February  last,  purely  for  want  of  breath 
i  e.  California  gold  )  which  caused  its  locomotion  to  stop."  The  Press-Recorder 
alxn-e  fjtioted  says  that  the  paper  had  been  run  under  its  new  name  only  six  weeks 
when  the  building  was  ilestrox  ed  l)\  fire.  It  was  then  printed  in  the  old  Academy 
building.    How  long  it  continued  no  one  seems  to  know. 

The  >ame  authority  says  "The  Connecticut  Organ"  was  started  in  1851  by 
Franklin  E.  Hinman  as  printer  with  (  ).  H.  Piatt  as  editor,  but  that  Mr.  Hinman

1^52  ■  the  name  of  New  Britain  Journal  had  been  added  to  the  title:  how  long 
it  o  ntiinied  to  be  published  is  uncertain;  perhaps  the  Connecticut  Whig  was  suc- 
ct-snr  to  it  for  a  copy  dated  Mar.  30,  1854,  says  "Xew  Series,  Vol.  3,  No.  36." 

K.  W .  Lewl^  and  O.  H.  Piatt  were  the  ])ublishers  of  the  Whig  and  Mr.  Piatt 
was  also  its  editor.  Geo  W.  Rogers  was  afterwards  associated  with  Mr.  Piatt. 
The  paper  w  as  (iisconlinued  about  1854. 

Contemporary  with  this  publication  was  a  journal  calle<l  "Meriden  Transcript,*' 
pil'Ii^hed  by  Lysander  R.  Webb  &  Co.,  begun  in  1850.  and  after  the  Whig  had 
Mi>ptiuled  Mr.  Piatt  became  editor  also  of  the  Transcrijit,  This  paper  contijuied 
to  exist  until  August,  1856,  when  Mr.  Piatt's  increasing  law  business  compelled 
hmi  to  ce-'i^e  all  connection  with  newspaper  work. 

In  the  early  part  of  the  same  year  Robert  \\  inton.  a  t,  anadian  who  had  been 
f"' nnceted  with  newspaper  work  in  North  Adams.  Mass.,  came  to  Meriden.  and 
bting  encouraged  and  aided  bv  the  leading  manufacturers  and  merchants,  estab- 
lished a  ne\vspa})er  called  the  Meriden  Chronicle,  which  was  ])rinte(l  in  Wilcox 
block  where  (iriswf)l(l.  Richmond  «S:  (dock  are  now  located,  althougli  on  an  upper 
fltKjr.  This  publication  continued  three  >ears.  and  was  then  bought  by  a  ^Iv.  .Snll 
man  who  estaldished  a  paper  called  The  Banner.  It  was  Democratic  in  politics 
and  lasted  only  four  weeks. 

On  .\ug.  20.  1863.  Luther  (1.  Riggs  started  the  Meriden  Literary  Recorder,  the 
]*nnting  hou-e  being  located  in  what  is  now  knt)wn  as  Circle  Hall  building  on 
Colony  strict.    His  associate  was  a  Mr.  Dorman. 

Mr.  Riggs  had  talent  and  abilit\  but  lacked  balance  and  his  course  here  was  a 
stormy  one.  and  the  controversies  he  engaged  in  brought  him  only  great  adversity 
and  more  than  one  personal  chasti^emenl. 

AH  these  various  publications  so  far  described  were  ueekh  sheets  and  there 
was  no  daily  newspaper  until  the  Weekly  \  isitor  begun  on  March  21,  1867,  by

A  C&KTURY  OF  HERIDEK. 


Monroe  Eaton  commenced  a  daily  issue  on  Jan.  I,  1868,  On  March  16  it  was 
merged  into  the  Weekly  and  Daily  Republican  which  was  at  first  under  the  edi- 
torial control  of  Marcus  L.  Delevan  and  George  Gibbons  and  later  of  William  F. 
Graham.  The  publication  was  continuous  until  March  1899,  when  it  was  con- 
solidated with  the  Morning  Records  a  newspaper  established  on  Oct.  8,  1892,  by 
the  same  publishing  house,  so  that  since  March  16,  1868,  it  may  be  said  that  this 
same  newspaper  has  been  printed  by  this  establishment.  The  editor  at  present  is 
Thomas  H.  Wamock. 

There  were  various  other  short  lived  newspapers  which  may  be  briefly  named, 
viz:  "Daily  News/*  "Evening  Recorder"  and  "Morning  Call,"  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Luther  G.  Riggs.  "The  Penny  Press/'  established  by  J.  H.  Mabbett  in  De* 
cember,  1881,  soon  changed  to  the  Evening  Press  and  on  Oct.  16, 1882,  consolidated 
with  Riggs*  Daily  and  Weekly  Recorder,  and  was  called  the  Meriden  Press-Re- 
corder  and  continued  until  1884.  For  a  brief  period  in  1872  William  F.  Gra- 
ham published  a  newspaper  called  the  evening  Monitor  which  was  soon  merged 
with  the  Republican. 

On  March  4,  1886,  The  Journal  Publishing  Company  was  incorporated  with 
Francis  Atwater,  president ;  T.  L.  Reilly,  secretary ;  F.  E.  Sands*  treasurer,  and 
Lewis  Allen,  editor.  They  immediately  began  the  publication  of  The  Meriden 
Journal,  a  newspaper  which  has  a  wide  circulation  and  which  has  steadily  grown 
in  influence  as  the  years  have  rolled  by. 

The  publication  of  The  Evening  Times  began  May  22,  1905.  The  moving 
spirit  of  the  enterprise  was  Henry  C.  L.  Otto,  whose  untimely  death  bn  November 
7r  1905,  took  away  the  mainspring  of  tlie  organization,  and  the  paper  was  discon- 
tihued  on  March  2,  1906. 

EARUV  LAWYERS  OP  MERIDEN. 

The  first  full  fledged  lawyer  resident  in  Meriden  seems  to  have  been  Benajah 
Andrews  whose  homestead  stood  where  the  piesent  residence  of  Mrs.  T.  F.  Breese 
is  located,  501  East  Main  street.  For  several  years  he  was  judge  of  probate  in 
this  district  atid  Iiis  name  appears  many  times  on  legal  documents  drawn  up  dur- 
ing the  first  half  of  the  nineteenth  century,  but  the  writer  has  been  unable  to  learn 
many  facts  relative  to  his  life. 

Dexter  R.  Wright  came  to  Meriden  immediately  after  graduating  from  Wes- 
leyan  College  in  1845  and  took  the  position  of  principal  of  the  Meriden  Academy 
In  1848  he  graduated  from  Yale  Law  School  and  began  the  practice  of  his  profe^- 
sion  in  this  town  the  same  year. 

After  Franklin  Hall  was  built  his  office  was  in  that  block.  His  influence  wa: 
felt  in  many  directions  for  he  was  a  man  of  energy  and  resource.  He  attaine« 
political  honors  while  living  here.   In  1862  he  enlisted  in  the  15th  regiment  an^

was  made  colonel  but  ill  health  compelled  him  to  retire  in  1863.  He  returned  to 
Meriden  and  sold  out  his  business  here  and  removed  to  New  Haven  where  he 
had  an  active  practice. 

Tilton  £.  Doolittle  was  located  in  Meriden  several  years  after  graduating  from 
Yale  Law  school  in  1846.  The  map  of  Meriden  made  in  1851  shows  that  his  of- 
fice was  located  on  West  Main  street  just  west  of  the  Guy  residence. 

Hon.  Orville  H.  Piatt,  senior  U.  S,  senator  from  Connecticut,  came  to  Meriden 
a  young  man  in  1851 :  he  had  studied  law  in  the  ofike  of  Judge  Hollister  of  Litch- 
field and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1S49.  His  many  activities  and  resources  were 
constantly  in  evidence  during  the  early  years  of  his  residence  in  this  town,  out- 
side of  his  profession  as  a  lawyer,  and  those  who  were  best  acquainted  with  him 
knew  how  great  his  abilities  were  and  it  is  safe  to  say  that  none  of  them  was  sur- 
prised by  the  eminence  he  attained  in  the  service  of  the  government  as  senator 
during  his  career  of  twenty-six  years  in  that  distinguished  body.  It  is  not  the  pur- 
pose to  give  his  biography  here  as  it  has  been  printed  in  another  part  of  this  book. 

IN  CONCLUSION. 

There  comes  a  year  in  the  cycle  of  time  embraced  in  an  historical  narrative 
sketching  the  growth  of  a  present  clay  community,  even  though  the  story  be  of 
so  unpretentious  a  nature  as  the  chronicles  of  a  town  like  Meriden,  when  the  rapid 
accummulation  of  facts  and  multiplicity  (^f  details,  render  perspective  distorted, 
and  prepare  one  to  recognize  the  homely  truth  contained  in  the  remark,  that  one 
"couldn't  see  the  woods  for  the  trees  that  were  in  it." 

We  have  followed  the  story  of  the  development  of  Meriden  until  we  have  seen 
the  struggles  of  the  early  pioneers  succeeded  by  a  dawning  of  the  consciousness 
that  there  wns  a  future  full  of  hope  and  promise  for  all  who  would  energetically 
continue  the  labors  of  those  gone  before.  The  town  of  1806  has  been  succeeded  by 
the  city  of  1867,  the  spirit  of  enterprise  is  everywhere,  factories  are  growing  and 
new  ones  springing  up,  and  the  \  ear  1870  seems  a  fitting  period  in  which  to  write 
the  word  finis  to  this  part  of  the  "Centennial  Hook.** 

And  so  at  last,  notwithstanding  all  that  has  been  left  untold,  the  end  of  these 
annals  is  here,  and  at  a  very  much  later  date  than  was  anticipated  when  the  w  ork 
was  undertaken  some  ten  months  ago.  Begun  with  the  idea  of  writing  a  sketch 
of  some  thirty  or  forty  pages  this  story  has  grown  in  a  most  suq^rising  manner 
until  with  dismay  page  300  has  been  seen  and  passed  and  courage  is  lacking  to  set 
a  limit  to  that  one  on  which  these  hnal  words  will  appear. 

The  writer,  as  much  as  any  one  who  may  chance  to  read  these  annals,  is  im- 
pressed by  the  sins  of  omission  and  commission  that  are  to  be  found  b  >tli  in  style 
and  construction.  He  can  only  plead  in  apoln:::y  that  the  material  has  had  to  be

merous  examples  of  literary  dyspepsia  that  the  printed  pages  render  only  too  fre- 
quently apparent. 

The  great  storehouses  of  information  on  which  the  writer  has  constantly  relied 
are  contained  in  the  land  records  of  Meriden  and  Wallingford  and  the  probate  rec* 
ords  of  these  two  towns  reinforced  by  the  earlier  ones  of  New  Haven.  The  weahh 
of  facts  there  found,  has  been  largely  supplemented  by  the  memories  of  those 
whose  age  enables  them  to  give  reminiscences  that  would  otherwise  be  utterly  lost, 
or  whose  associations  in  the  various  localities  have  caused  them  to  treasure  up  the 
traditions  and  stories  of  the  past  that  are  handed  down  from  generation  to  gen- 
eration. 

To  give  a  list  of  the  names  of  those  who  have  patiently  submitted  to  question 
after  question  and  who  have  voluntarily  given  information  not  sought  for  because 
the  writer  had  no  clue  to  such  sources,  or  who  have  assisted  in  ways  too  numerous 
to  mention  would  require  almost  another  chapter.  But  although  these  names  are 
omitted  the  writer's  gratitude  is  no  less  profound.

MERIDEN  IN  THE  CIVIL  WAR 

By  Cau  Charlis  L.  Ufham 


The  firing  upon  the  flag  at  Fort 

Sumter  caused  intense  excitement 
throughout  the  entire  North ;  patriotic 
men  and  nian>'  whose  sympathies  had 
been  with  the  South  at  once  deter- 
mined to  support  the  government  and 
^)  maintain  at  all  hazards  the  integrity 
of  the  Union. 

April  14th,  1861,  the  President  caUed 
for  seventy-five  thousand  volunteers 
"to  repossess  the  forts,  places  and 
property  which  had  been  seized,  and 
to  maintain  the  perpetuity  of  popular 
government." 

On  the  1 6th.  Gov.  Buckingham 
called  for  volunteers  to  form  one  reg- 
iment of  Infantry  to  serve  three 
munths.  Meriden  quickly  responded 
with  a  patriotism  that  did  not  falter 
(luring  the  entire  four  years  of  war. 

The  Meriden  Light  (lu.irds.  Capt. 
Theodore  livxbce.  was  the  onlv  mili- 
tary  organization  in  Meriden.  The

the  call. 

April  19th,  an  immense  war  meeting 
was  held  in  the  Town  Hall,  presided 
over  by  the  Hon.  Charles  Parker ;  elo- 
quent and  patriotic  speeches  were 
made  by  C).  H.  Piatt,  Dexter  R. 
Wright.  Rev.  D.  Henry  Miller  and  G. 
H.  Wilson.  It  was  unanimouslv  voted 
to  instruct  the  selectmen  to  call  a  town 
meeting  immediately  for  the  purpose 
of  appropriating  five  thousand  dollars 
to  equip  the  Meriden  Light  Guard. 
Mr.  Parker  announced  his  purjwsc  to 
give  cnch  member  a  Colt's  revolver. 

-April  25th  a  town  meeting  was  held, 
of  which  Eli  Ives  was  mo<1erator.  *'It 
was  voted  that  the  town  of  Meriden 
appropriate  the  sum  of  five  thousand 
dollars  for  the  purj)ose  of  defraying

THE  THREE  YEARS  MEN. 

Company  C,  tth  Regiment. 

In  the  summer  of  1861  a  company 
was  raised  which  was  assigned  to  the 
7th  Regiment  as  Co..C.  This  rai- 
ment left  the  state  for  Washington 
September  i8th,  was  in  the  expedi- 
tion to  Port  Royal  and  was  the  first 
to  land,  and  their  flags  were  the  first

Meriden  men  with  their  regiment  have 
a  brilliant  record  and  well  entitled  to 
their  reputation  as  a  fighting  regiment. 
They  saw  service  in  Georgia,  South 
Carolina,  Virginia  and  were  at  the 
taking  of  Fort  Fisher,  North  Caro-

nth,  1862. 

WAR  MEETIXG  IX  MERIDEX. 

The  meeting  in  Aferiden  last  even- 
ing was  an  honor  to  the  town,  and  full 
of  hope  and  promise  for  the  Union 
cause.  Amid  the  roar  of  cannon  and 
the  roll  of  drums,  the  people  came  to- 
gether to  consult  for  their  country. 

When  we  reached  the  Town  Hall 
at  an  early  hour,  we  found  a  large 
audience  already  assembled  and  in  a 


few  niifiutes  every  scat  was  filled,  and 
the  aisles  were  packed  from  the  door 

to  the  platform. 

The  meeting  was  organized  by  ap- 
pointing Judge  James  S.  Brooks 
chairman  and  a  large  number  of  Vice- 
Presidents  and  Secretaries. 

Speeches  were  made  by  Judge 
lirnoks.  I.ieutenant  Colonel  D.  R. 
\\  ri,e:ht.  Hon.  John  B.  Wright,  of  the 
Senato.  Hon.  U.  H.  Piatt  and  Cyrus 
Xorthru]). 

Resolutions  were  reported  by  a  com- 
mittee that  Meriden  will  furnish  all 
the  men  and  money  that  arc  required 
of  her  to  put  down  the  rebellion  ;  that 
the  selectmen  be  requested  to  call  a 
town  uieeting  to  vote  $10  bounty  tn 
volunteers,  and  appointing  a  large 
comnn'ttee  in  co-operate  with  a  simi- 
lar one  in  Xew  Haven  in  encouraging 
e'distmeiUs. 

When  the  (juestion  upon  the  pas- 
sage oi  tile  rexilutions  was  put,  une 
mighty  "aye"  rose  uj)  from  every  part 
of  the  hall  and  not  a  single  "no  "  was 
heard,  "^raitors  do  not  thrive  in  Mer- 
iden. 

At  10  o'eloek.  when  we  left,  the 
tiieeling  was  still  in  pr(»gress  and  vol- 
unteers were  coming  forward  from  the 
aurlicnce. 

The  meeting  wa^  not  a  noisy  one, 
but  it  was  deeply  earnest  and  thought- 
ful. Men  liad  met  to  consult  prepar- 
KiOTV  to  action.  Already  the  work  of 
enlistment  has  begun.  Ten  or  twelve 
of  the  best  young  men  in  Meriden  en- 
listed yesterday  and  it  is  expected  that 
the  company  now  forming  under  Capt. 
Rassett  wilt  soon  be  full.

Mtritlcn  has  already  sent  over  four 
hundred  men  to  the  war.  Her  quota 
fur  the  new  enlistments  will  be  about 
one  hundred  and  twenty-five.  There 
is  no  doubt  but  that  they  will  be  fur- 
nished and  more  if  required." 

ANOTHER  WAR  UEETING. 

Tuesday,  August  12th,  1862,  the 
Town  Hall  was  packed  with  an  au- 
dience  embracing  all  classes  of  society 
and  of  all  parties  interested  in  the 
prosecution  of  the  war.  Judge  James 
S.  Brooks  presided  and  the  volunteers 
of  the  new  company  now  being  raised, 
were  elected  Vice-Presidents.  Ad- 
dresses were  made  by  Hon.  O.  H. 
Piatt,  Rev.  D.  Henry  Miller,  H.  Clay 
Trumbull  and  others. 

The  meeting  was  a  great  success. 
Great  disappointment  was  felt  in  con- 
sequence of  the  absence  of  Col. 
Wright,  who  was  detained  with  his 
regiment  in  New  Haven. 

The  expression  of  the  meeting  was 
that  there  shall  be  no  necessity  for  a 
draft  in  Meriden. 

.\nother  W  ar  Meeting  was  assem- 
bled at  the  Town  Hall  Frida>-  evening,

ing  Captain  Jared  R.  Cook,  chairman, 
and  Captain  T.uther  G.  Riggs,  secre-

The  following  resolution  was  pre-

^aid  town,  at  the  earliest  day  ix)ssible, 
f'^r  the  purpose  of  reconsidcrinj^  the 
Vote  of  Tlnirsday  week,  and  extending 
the  l>enefits  of  said  vote  to  all  j>ersons 
who  shall  furnish  an  acceptable  sub- 
stitute to  count  on  the  quota  of  the 
town.

ler. C  has.  Kingsley,  Wni.  A.  Baldwin, 
J  C.  Breckenridge,  Chas.  Parker  and 
others. 

The  resolution  was  passed  without  a

A  committee  of  seven  was  ai)pointed 
to  prepare  the  busniess  of  the  meeting

Stephen  S.  Goodyear,  Edward  Miller. 

They  reported  the  following  reso- 
lutions :

priated for  the  purpose  of  paying  vol- 
unteers, or  acceptable  substitutes,  to 
fill  the  quota  of  the  Town  of  Meriden, 
to  be  paid  in  the  same  rates  as  by  the 
town. 

Resolved,  That  we  lay  a  tax  of  ten 
dollars  and  upwards  on  every  enrolled 
man  in  order  to  raise  the  above 
amount,  said  tax  to  be  paid  imme- 

diately. 

Resolved,  That  we  request  the 
Town  of  Meriden,  at  the  next  town

pledge,  both  implied  and  expressed, 
that  their ,  families  should  not  want 
during  their  absence,  and  the  soldiers 
themselves  should  be  taken  care  of  in 
sickness  and,  if  disabled,  should  be 
cared  for  on  their  return  to  our  midst. 
This  pledge  is  a  sacred  obligation 
which  should  be  performed  in  the 
spirit  in  which  it  was  given.  It  will 
not  do  for  us  to 

"Keep  the  word  of  promise  to  the  ear 
And  break  it  to  the  heart" 

W  e  owe  it  to  the  brave  men  who  are 

battling  for  onr  rii^hts  and  liberties  to 
raise  such  a  fund  as  will  relieve  the 
wants  of  all  soldiers  and  the  families 
of  all  soldiers  from  this  town. 

To  this  end  every  citizen  of  Meriden 
is  asked  to  contribute  with  a  liberal 
hand  to  this  Fair  £Lnd  Festival. 

The  manufacturers  are  asked  to 
give  their  wares,  the  merchants  their 
goods,  the  farmers  their  wood  and 
their  produce,  and  cver\  man  and 
woman  in  Meriden  is  asked  to  con- 
tribute according  to  their  1- lity,  for 
the  benefit  of  this  Festival.  There  is 
scarcely  an  article  which  cannot  be 
made  available,  and  turned  into 
money. 

The  proceeds  of  the  Fair  will  be 
])laced  in  the  hands  of  a  liberal  com- 
mittee and  faithfully  a]iplied  tn  the  ob- 
jects itidirated  in  this  circular.  The

occasion  one  of  the  most  pleasant  ever 
known  in  the  town  of  Meriden. 

In  conclusion,  tlie  committee  ask  the 
citizens  of  Meriden  to  meet  the  de- 
mands made  upon  them  in  a  spirit  of 
generous  liberality.  The  fund  to  be 
raised  should  be  counted  by  thousands 
and  not  by  hundreds. 

Let  us  perform  the  promise  we  have 
made  to  the  soldiers.  Let  us  keep  our 
plighted  faith.

A   CENTURY  OF  MKRIDKN. 


SPANISH- AMERICAN  WAR 


Although  Meriden  showed  her  pa- 
triotism in  pronounced  degree  by  fur- 
nishing all  the  men  asko  l  iov  by  the 
government,  her  sons  had  no  oppor- 
tunity of  going  to  Uie  front  and  tak- 
ing an  active  part  in  the  War  with 
Si)ain.  They  were,  however,  ready 
anil  even  anxious  for  the  fray  but  the 
sudden  and  happy  termination  of  hos- 
tiUties  made  it  unnecessary  for  them 
to  show  the  fighting  material  contained 
in  their  ranks. 

It  was  the  first  of  June»  1898,  that 
Captain  C  B.  Bowen,  then  on  the  re- 
tired Hst  of  the  Connecticut  National 
Guard,  was  commissioned  by  the  Ad- 
jutant Generals  office  of  Connecticut 
to  recruit  a  full  company  of  men  for 
the  First  Infantry,  Connecticut  Volun- 
teers, a  part  of  which  regiment  was 
then  in  the  field.  The  Meriden  com- 
pany was  recruited  by  him  and  ready 
to  be  mustered  in  June  15,  but  owing 
to  delays  by  the  war  office,  the  United 
States  army  surgeons  and  mustering 
officer  did  not  report  here  until  July 
5.  On  that  date  began  the  physical 
examinations  of  the  men  recruited, 
and  finally  on  the  afternoon  of  July 
9.  [898,  the  entire  conipan)  ,  officers 
and  men,  mustered  to  its  full  comple- 
ment of  109,  was  formally  mustered 
into  the  service  at  the  town  hall, 
at  which  ceremonv  none  but  the 


recruits,  the  mustering  othcei

any  Xew  Rngland  city. 

With  the  exception  of  about  eight 
acres,  a  gift  to  the  city  In  the  Charles 
J'arker  Co.  and  that  originall\ 
purchased  l)\  tile  city  from  the  heirs 
of  William  J«»hnson  for  reservoir  pur- 
poses, the  land  comprising  the  i)resent 
Hubbard  Park  has  been  presented  to 
tlu'  city  of  Meriden  by  Waller  Hub- 
hard,  [iresident  of  the  Pradley  cK:  Hub- 
bard Mfg.  Co..  and  by  whom  the  park 
has  always  l)een  cared  for.  developed 
and  beautiiied  without  expense  to  the 
city. 

The  park  is  situated  west  of  the 
city,  about  one  and  one-half  miles, 
and  can  be  reached  h\  electric  cars  of 
both  Meriden  aujl  .Meritleii  (K:  South- 
ington  lines,  which  make  frequent 
trips,  passing  the  entire  south  boimd- 
ary  which  extends  for  more  than  a 
mile,  affording  grand  views  of  the 
higher  elevations.  The  founder,  per- 
ceiving the  great  natural  advantages 
this  land  possessed  for  a  public  park, 
asked  and  received  permission  fn^n  . 
the  city  authorities  to  develop  that 
portion  belonging  to  the  municipal- 
ity, and  ihi  city  has  set  aside  and  ded- 
icated this  land  for  a  public  i)ark 
(with  the  beautiful  reservoir,  Lake 
Merimere,  lying  picturesquely  be- 
tween the  cliffs  and  peaks)  to  which 
Mr.  Hubbard  has  added  many  tracts 
of  land,  thus  enabling  him  to  present 
to  the  public  its  now  priceless  pleas- 
ure groimds,  with  its  many  fine  roads 
and  walks,  leading  to  delightful  views

and  scenes,  and  to  its  sparkling 
springs,  fountains,  cascade  and  lakes. 

When,  therefore,  the  Court  of  Com- 
mon Council  of  the  Citv  of  Meriden 
voicd  to  give  Hubbard  Park  its  pres- 
ent name,  it  was  but  a  just  recognition 
of  Mr.  Hubbard  s  princely  generosity 
and  interest  in  his  fellow  townsmen. 

The  act  which  follows  was  present- 
ed by  Alderman  H.  T.  King,  March 
7. 1898,  Amos  Ives,  then  mayor,  pre- 
siding: 

"Resolved.  That  the  tract  of  land 
now  owned  by  the  city  of  Mcridcn, 
and  extending  from  the  Southington 
road  to  Merimere,  or  the  old  reser- 
voir, and  the  property  adjacent  there 
which  is  being  improveil  by  W  al- 
ter Hubbard,  and  upon  which  he  has 
already  expended  large  sums  of  nion- 
t\  for  the  benefit  of  his  fellow  citi- 
zens, be  and  the  same  is  hereby  des- 
ignated, known  and  entitled  by  the 
name  'Hnhhard  Park.'  in  apprecia- 
tion in  a  slight  degree  of  Mr.  Hub- 
'^ard's  noble  and  unselfish  work  in  be- 
tialf  of  his  fellownien." 

The  same  bofly  r>n  the  cvenitiq:  of 
January  9.  1899,  after  the  legislature 
H^id  authorized  the  City  of  Mcridon 
to  bring  Hubbard  I'ark  witliin  its  mu- 
nicipal domain,  adopted  the  followinpf 
n solution,  introduced  by  Alderman 
Brainard : 

"Resolved.  That  the  tract  of  land 
iK-reinaftcr  dc-^crilu'd.  beloncfing  to 
fhe  CU)  of  Mcridc!!.  except  so  much 
'  t  the  same  as  is  used  for  reservoir 
purposes  and  is  apjnirlenant  thereto, 
be  and  the  same  is  hereby  dedicated 
and  established  as  a  public  park,  to 


be  designated  and  named  'Hubbard 
Park.* " 

The  lakes  abound  with  fish  which 
are  not  for  for. the  prey  of  the  angler 
but  a  delight  to  the  seeker  of  restful 
recreation  and  lover  of  nature.  Trout 
are  in  the  trout  pool ;  pickerel  at  Mir- 
ror lake,  which  jump  and  dart,  and 
in  another  part  of  the  vast  park  is  a 
pool  of  gold  fish. 

The  water  fowl  of  Hubbard  Park 
comprise  domestic  geese  and  ducks, 
and  genuine  Canadian  wild  geese 
also  inhabit  the  lakes  of  the  park. 
The  large  number  of  tame  i)igeons  at 
the  park  are  a  source  of  delight. 
There  is  also  a  large  cage  of  squir- 
rels, which,  like  the  water  fowl  and 
fish,  are  given  the  greatest  care  and 
protection.  The  waterfalls  of  Hubbard 
P&rk  are  marvelous  imitations  of  na- 
ture. A  charming  drive  of  about  eight 
miles  is  via  the  celebrated  "Cathole" 
I\iss.  the  Pdue  Plills  of  Kensington, 
and  through  the  park,  by  Lake  Meri- 
mere,  with  grand  scenery  all  the  wa.v.

which  flows  throupch  tlu  entire  park 
and  its  swift  running  water  of  tlie 
purest  quality,  adds  greatly  to  its  at- 
tractiveness. 

Brookside  Park  was  endowed  not 
only  with  its  name  bv  Mr.  Hubbard, 
but  with  all  the  vast  improvements  it 
I  '^sesses  and  until  recently  was  main- 
tained out  of  his  private  funds  which 
he  has  so  freety  expended.  Retain- 
ing walls  have  been  built  along  the 
banks  of  the  brook;  rustic  bridges 
have  been  constructed  spanning 
the  same:  and  the  land  has 
been  largely  remade.  That  Brook- 
side  and  City  Parks  might  be  connect- 
ed, several  building  lots  on  Bunker

Three  ptxils  where  gold  fish  and 
beautiful  pond  lilies  thrive  add  to  the 
scenic  heauty  of  the  park.  All  of 
these  p(M)ls  possess  fountains  which 
keep  them  well  filled  with  water. 
The  park,  with  its  many  attrac- 
tions, delights  the  visitor,  and  is  fre- 
quented by  people  from  all  parts  of 
Meriden,  particularly  by  children. 

The  entrance  to  this  park,  on  Camp 
street,  is  defined  by  two  rustic  stone 
pillars  of  large  proportions.  A  newly 
macadamized  drive  extends  through 
the  entire  park  as  well  as  numerous 
walks  and  paths.  The  park  is  kept 
in  perfect  condition  by  a  competent 
corps  of  workmen  and  gardeners  now 
paid  by  the  city.

MERIDEN  INSTITUTIONS 


CURTIS  MEMORIAL  LIBRARY. 


Dr.  Trumbull,  in  his  History  of 
Connecticut,  states  that  there  were  in 
1818,  140  libraries  in  the  state  and 
that  they  had  been  instituted  since  the 
Revolution.  Wethersiield  had  one, 
begun  as  early  as  1783,  a  purely  sub- 
scription libraryi  its  subscribers  be- 
ing shareholders  in  the  corporation; 
Farmington  had  one,  started  as  soon 
as  1785,  and  VVaterbury  in  its  Bron- 
son  library  has  books  which  were  once 
in  a  library  in  existence  there  in  1797. 

Meridcn.  as  befittctl  a  very  small 
comnniiiity,  had  a  tiny  library  as  early 
as  i7<X>. 

In  the  home  of  Jolin  W  Hall,  in  the 
eastern  part  <»f  Meriden.  is  preserved 
an  old  Bible  bound  in  |  i  i  in.  that 
was  "Imprinted  at  I.ondcm  i)y  iJon-

XEW  YORK 

Miss  Grace,  a  sister  to  Jolin  P, 
Hall,  has  loaned  to  the  Curtis  Me- 


morial Library  the  catalogue  of  this 
first  library  and  it  is  here  reproduced.; 

There  are  153  volumes  in  this  li.^t 
mostly  relating  to  divinity  and  theol- 
ogy ;  and  the  taste  of  the  reading  pub- 
lic has  changed  to  such  an  extent  that 
it  is  doubtful  if  anv  one  of  these  vol- 
umes  would  now  be  drawn  if  they, 
were  on  the  shelves  of  the  present  li- 
brary. The  Meriden  Library  was  a 
subscription  one  like  tliat  in  Wethers- 
field  and  on  the  probate  records  in- 
Wallingford  (where  Meriden  estates 
were  then  settled)  there  are  several- 
inventories  which  contain  the  item 
"Share  in  the  library"  amounting  to 
about  $1.65  each,  viz:  Deacon  Eben- 
ezer  Cowlrs  1801  ;  Samuel  W'hitinc 
1803:  Daniel  Hall  1805;  and  Ezekie;

A  CENTURY  OF  MtRIUEN. 


brarv.  The  Akridcn  Republican  in 
its  issue  of  May  26.  i8^>8.  said  "St)mc 
20  years  a^io  the  ^'onn^^  Men  s  Insti- 
tute oolleeletl  /ixj  or  800  vohnnes  for 
a  library ;  but  it  declined  and  the 
volumes  were  scattered.  Rev.  Mr. 
i  haclu  r.  duriufj  his  pastorate  i 

),  made  an  effort  to  start  a  pub- 
lic library  but  failed.    Rev.  Mr.  Hay- 
den  succee<led  a  little  heller  and  was 
instnnneiii.d   in  nljtainiui^  a  charter 
aiul  ori^anizinjj^  a  lilirar\  association: 
but  he  w  as  foiled  in  attemi)ting  to  raise 
^I'fticient  capital  to  erect  the  neces- 
sary biiildin-::.    Xow  the  V.  -M.  C  .\. 
have  a  buildinj^  of  their  own  fitted 
with  library  and  free  rea«lin^  room. 
They  have  the  remnant  of  the  Vouuij 
Men's  Institutr.  and  nr»w  they  appeal 
for  $1,500  to  buy  books."    For  years 
this  library  was  the  nnh  one  of  a  pub- 
lic nature  in  town,    Jt  was  at  first 
kei)t   in  the  small  wooden  building 
wiiich  stood  on  the  present  sit<?  of  the 
\'.  .M.  ('.  A.  and  when  the  present 
brick  building  w  as  erected  in  1876-77 
it' was  kept  in  the  room  where  it  is 
located  to-da\.    The  lxx>ks  were  free 
to  all  for  reference,  but  in  order  to 
draw  a  book  and  take  it  home  it  was 
necessarv  to  become  a  member  and 

m 

pay  annua]  dues  of  $2.  The  books  at 
present  number  over  8,000  but  on  ac- 
count of  restrictions  it  is  far  from  a 
free  public  library. 

Tnere  have  been  various  spasmodic 
attempts  to  raise  sufficient  money  to 
start  a  free  public  library.  On  the 
evening  of  .•Xpril  7,  1895,  a  public 
meeting  was  held  in  the  town  hall  to 
devise  means  for  forming  a  public  li«

of  1897-8  the  ladies  of  ihc  liiiif^

at  the  close  of  the  season  ihc  tu 
of  the  club  was  found  to  have 
a  sum  of  money   on  hand,

itlea  that  it  woufd  he  wise  U' 
this  .sum  to  a  frtc  public  librar

started  which  has  proved  5< 
ful.   At  a  meeting  of  the  dub  i  ct^ 
niittee  was  appointed  const^tii^g  j 
men  as  well  as  women  to 
work  for  the  project:  at 
tdwn  meeting  held  in  Oct* 
an  appropriation  of  $i.odo 
runninjTj  expenses  and 
books)  was  voted,  after 
opposition,  for  supporting 
lie  library.    At  the  same 
following  directors  were  el 
carry  on  the  work :  M  iss  Jennie 
Henry  W.  Hirschfeld,  John  L 
for  one  year;  -\lbcrt  B.  Mather. 
J.  H.  Chapin,  Walter  S.  BiUa

Thus  was  born  a  public

eet,  were  rented  and  Miss  Lucy  U. 
adhams,  of  Torrington.  was  en- 
jed  as  librarian,  with  Miss  Corinne 
Deshon  as  assistant.  Meanwhile 
number  of  ladies  had  associated 
mselves  as  a  Library  Whist  Club, 
;  purpose  being  to  meet  at  differ- 
:  houses,  and,  bv  a  svstcm  of  fines 
d  fees,  raise  money  to  aid  in  sup- 
rting  the  library.    It  is  certain  that 


constant  succession  of  gifts  of  money 
and  books  and  the  library  grew  as  rap- 
idly as  conditions  and  circumstances 
woidd  permit ;  but  the  rooms  were 
small  and  the  work  was  greatly  hin- 
dered thereby.  In  April  Miss  Wad- 
hams  resigned  her  position  and  Miss 
Deshon  was  elected  her  successor. 
Mrs.  Chapin  would  not  accept  the  po- 
sition of  library  director  and  Mrs. 


CURTIS    MEMORIAL  LIBRARY. 


t  ai(l  of  these  two  clubs  in  support- 
the  library  during  these  days  of 
all  beginnings  was  invaluable.  The 
rary  was  opened  on  the  evening  of 
luary  30,  1899,  for  inspection  only, 
d  on  the  next  day  began  the  actual 
•rk  of  delivering  books  to  the  pub- 
with  probably  not  more  than  1,000 
lunies  on  the  shelves.    There  was  a 


Caro  A.  Lyon  was  elected  in  her  place 
and  Miss  Hannah  K.  Peck  was  elected 
as  successor  to  Miss  Jennie  Page  who 
married  and  removed  from  Meriden. 

On  December  7,  1900,  Mrs.  George 
R.  Curtis  announced  that  she  would 
contribute  sufficient  money  to  buy  a 
site,  erect  a  suitable  building  for  a  li- 
brary and  thoroughly  equip  it,  provid-

ing  the  town  would  vote  to  annually 
appropriate  $3,wx:)  for  running  ex- 
penses.   At  a  special  luwn  meeting 
held  on  the  evening  of  March  12, 
1901,  it  was  unanimously  voted  to  ac- 
cept the  olTer  made  by  Mrs.  Curtis. 
Plans  presented   by  W.   U.  Allen, 
of  New  Haven,  were  accepted,  but  as

Richard  Williams  furnished  the  fol-

The  design  of  the  building  is  classi- 
cal, the  motive  adopted  being  that  of 
the  Greek  Ionic  order  as  exemplified 
in  the  Krccthion  at  Athens ;  the  rela- 
tive proportion  of  all  members  of  the 
order  to  the  diameter  of  the  columns  is 
the  same  as  in  that  mo<t  bcuiliiul  of 
all  temples.  In  workint^^  out  the  de- 
tails the  archilccl  availed  himself  of 
the  most  authentic  wnrks  and  meas-

with  exactness,  ihc  mouldings  and  ov- 
naments  of  the  temple,  and  thus  em-

of  the  most  relined  Order  uf  the

tecture  of  the  building:  in  harmony 
with  the  treasures  of  lore  which  are 
housed  within  its  walls. 

The  exterior  of  the  bi  ildiuL;  is  of 
Wrmont  white  marble,  the  (Kinie  is 
covered  with  cn-rrvr.  ajid  tlu-  inurinr

THE  CURTIS  HOME. 


On  Crown  street,  on  an  elevation 
liat  commands  a  view  of  beautifully 
iversified  country  to  the  south  and 
'est,  is  the  Curtis  home,  founded 
y  one  of  Meriden's  noblest  citizens, 
^nel  J.  Curtis,  who  heeded  well 
he  biblical  command:  "Help  ye  one 
nother." 

The  monument  that  tells,  therefore, 
f  the  loving  memory  of  Lemuel  J. 


Curtis,  with  the  highest  praise  was 
this  home,  i)r ovided  out  of  the  good- 
ness of  hi>  heart  for  worthy  aged 
women  and  children. 

The  estalilishnient  of  the  Curtis 
home  was  a  wisely  guided  philan- 
thropy that  has  achieved  noieworthy 
success  in  the  good  Mr.  Curtis  aimed 
to  accomplish.  Its  location  is  health- 
ful and  pleasant  and  fortunate  are 
those  who  can  avail  themselves  of  the 
shelter  there  offered. 

The  first  Iniilding  of  this  institu- 
tion was  dedicated  June  28,  1884.  It 
was  the  children's  home  and  stands 
tiow  at  the  north  end  of  the  structures 
that  comprise  the  institution. 

Lemuel  1.  Curtis  was  for  manv 
years  senior  warden  of  St.  Andrew's 
Episcoj^al  clnirch  and  one  of  its 
stauiichest  sujjporters.  Besides  the 
erection  of  the  first  building  which 
cost  $50,000.  before  his  death,  he  tn- 
dowcd  the  home  with  about  $650,000. 

i'eiliajjs  llie  act  to  incorporate  the 
Curtis  home  of  Meriden,  passed  by 
the  General  Assembly  of  the  state  of 
Connecticut,  March  19,  1885,  will  best 
tell  just  the  purpose  and  object  !Mr. 
Curtis  had  in  mind  when  he  created 
the  home:

A  CENTURY  OF  MEiUDEN. 


During  all  the  years  of  its  exist- 
ence the  Curtis  home  has  been  blessed 
with  excellent  management  and  to 
that  fact  its  success  has  been  largely 
due. 

The  managing  board  divided  itself 
into  a  Visiting  committee,  a  Purchas> 
ing  committee  and  Committee  on  Ap- 
plications, so  that  from  the  first  the 
ladies  did  their  i>art  in  a  business-like, 
progressive  way. 

It  was  not  many  years  after  the 
opening  of  the  home  that  the  need  of 
more  room  to  carry  on  the  work  out- 
lined by  the  founder  became  apparent 
and  it  was  decided  to  build.  The  hand- 
some light  colored  brick  building  that 
cost  approximately  $100,000,  was  the 
result,  and  was  formally  opened  in 
1896. 

There  are  usually  fifty  or  more  old 
ladies  and  children  at  the  Home. 

The  corporation  made  this  the  Old 
Ladies'  Home  and  it  was  equipped 
with  every  convenience  for  their  com- 
fort and  happiness.  It  stands  to  the 
south  of  the  Children's  Home  and  in 
plain  view  of  the  country  for  miles 
around. 

Though  this  structure  lacks  the 
many  cos\'  features  of  the  first  build- 
ing:, it  is  handsome,  nevertheless,  and 
fulfills  all  the  requirements  for  which 
it  was  intended. 

Always  alert  to  the  needs  of  the 
inmates  of  the  Home  and  well  aware 
of  the  fact  that  the  young  people 
who  leave  the  institution,  mus^  be 
equipped  to  face  th  c  w  'irld,  the  corpo- 
ration voted  recently  to  have  a  man- 
ual training  department,  and  also  a 


gymnasium.  To  that  purpose  was 
erected  a  building  costing  several 
thousand  dollars,  finished  in  1904. 

The  building  stands  in  the  south  of 
the  institution's  property,  is  caor 
structed  of  brick  and  has  two  stories 
On  the  average  twenty  children  re* 
ceive  instruction  here.  The  buildings 
are  of  brick  with  teria-cotta  trim- 
mings, heated  with  steam,  furnished 
with  alt  modem  improv^ents,  and 
there  are  accommodations  for  a  large 
number. 

The  trustees  of  1906  are:  Rev.  A 
T.  Randall,  Benjamin  Page,  John  W. 
Coc,  Samuel  Dodd,  William  W.  Mosh- 
er,  Watson  W.  Qark,  George  S.  See-

The  matron  of  the  Old  Ladies'  home

Lemuel  J.  Curtis  endowed  the  in- 
stiiiition  with  an  amount  which  will 
be  ample  to  supply  its  needs  in  time 
to  come  and  sufficient  to  pay  all  ex- 
penses of  the  home  when  filled  to  its 
utmost  capacity. 

Motha  Pierpoint  Button  Curtis,

retary,  Mrs.  A.  B.  Mather;  treasurer. 
Miss  Alice  Derby. 

Among  the  earliest  undertakings  of

were  the  rink  party,  February  13, 
1885,  concert  and  dramatic  entertain- 
ment, at  the  opera  house,  April  13  and 
14,  minstrel  entertainment,  at  the

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Opera  house,  October  26  and  27,  fair, 
at  the  same  place,  December  8-12. 
These  entertainments  netted  handsome 
sums  as  follows :  Rink  party,  $446.52 ; 
concert,  $159.82;  dramatic  entertain- 
ment, $201.20;  minstrels,  $768.91; 
fair,  $2,650.14. 

The  decisive  step  toward  ^ving 
Meriden  a  hospital  was  taken  Febru- 
ary 23,  1892,  when  the  old  Jared  R. 
Cook  property  was  purchased  from 
Cornelius  J.  Kooreman  who  had 
bought  it  with  a  view  to  remodeling 
the  dwelling  and  making  it  a  fine  ten- 
ement house.  The  original  value  of 
the  property  was  stated,  at  the  time 
of  purchase  as  $15,000. 

Nearly  every  year  since  that  time 
some  big  entertainment  h-^  been  giv- 
en for  the  benetit  of  the  hospital,  al- 
ways successful,  especially  the  annual 
hospital  fair  of  recent  years,  which  has 
become  one  of  the  principal  social 
functions  of  the  year.  To  a  great  ex- 
tent interest  has  been  kept  up  in  the 
hospital  by  the  earnest  efforts  of  the 
Ladies'  Hospital  committee,  of  which 
Mrs.  A.  Chamberlain  has  been  presi- 
dent since  its  organization.  Tn  1893 
the  state  of  Connecticut  granted  an  ap- 
propriation of  $25.<XKj  and  a  subsidy 
of  $3,oo')  a  year.  The  management 
of  the  hospital  has  always  been  the 
best  and  the  success  of  the  institution 
has  exceeded  the  most  sanguine  ex- 
pectations of  its  founders. 

The  instittiti*)!!  attempts  and  has  the 
facilities  for  caring  for  anv  case  which 
may  be  brought  to  it<;  do.  ,t  >  for  adnnt- 
tance  and  maintains  a  training  school 
for  nurses.    The  iiospilal  witli  its  new 


wards  and  private  rooms  has  accom- 
modations for  forty  patients  and  in 
an  emergency  can  take  care  of  forty- 
five. 

From  the  matron's  report  of  year 
ending  September  30,  1905*  the  fol- 
lowing extracts  are  taken: 

"During  the  year  220  patients  have 
been  treated.  Since  the  openti^  of 
the  new  building  about  one-third  more 
patients  have  been  treated  than  in  any 
other  year  during  the  same  length  of 
time. 

**Nine  patients  have  received  the 
benefit  of  the  Free  Bed  Fund  for  a  pe- 
riod of  33  weeks ;  30  town  cases  have 
been  treated,  22  from  Meriden,  4  from 
Wallingford,  4  from  Southington; 
number  of  patients  in  hospital  Oct 
1st,  1904,  9;  whole  number  treated 
during  year,  220;  discharged  curoil, 
144;  discharged  improved,  26;  dis- 
charged not  improved.  9:  number  of 
deaths,  29:  numl)er  of  deaths  within 
24  hours  of  admission,  2 ;  remaining  in 
hospital  Sept.  30.  1905;  12;  whole 
number  of  hospital  days,  4,722 ;  aver- 
age number  treated  daily,  13  ;  averai^e 
number  dnvs  for  each  patient.  I3^J^; 
weekly  cost  of  maintenance  and  treat- 
ment per  patient.  $11.85."

are  as  follows :

CONN.  SCHOOL  FOR  BOYS. 


The  Connecticut  School  for  Bov*; 
beautifully  located  on  a  high  elevatioa| 
with  large  sloping  lawns  joining  the 
buildings  witli  Colony  street,  is  thei 
only  state  institution  that  Meridenj 
possesses..  This  comprises  a  tempo-i 
rary  home  for  boys  who  are  delin- 
quent and  wayward  and  here  they  are 
taught  discipline  and  ^ood  behavior 
as  well  as  manual  training,  farming^^ 
and  several  trades,  and  given  a  gen- 
eral education,  in  all  of  which  the 
youths,  who  are  committed  there, 
show  remarkable  results  of  gooJ 
training  and  strict  discipline  in  a  short 
time. 

The  "State  Reform  School"  was 
established  by  act  of  the  Connecticut 
I.es:::islatvMe  in  1851,  the  first  or  main 
building  shown  in  tlie  accompanying' 
illustration,  being  finished  two  years 
later.  J^ince  that  time  sev<.ral  other 
buildings,  inchulinjj:  a  chapel  and  cot- 
tapes.  Iiave  been  erected,  imtii  the  in- 
>titution  has  the  appearance  from  a 
distance,  of  a  colleL^e  or  seminary.' 
The  buildings  of  the  institution,  all 
well  coiistrncted,  and  mostly  of  brick.; 
consist  of  oiu-  ceiUral  building.  3f» 
feet  lonir.  four  stories  in  height,  pos- 
se>>ing  a  wing  120  feet  long:  five  cot-, 
tage  buildings;  a  church  edifice  cost-; 
ing  $15,000:  a  large  boiler  ami  co^l, 
house,  an  ice  house,  bakery,  a  lanjcj 
hay  and  cow  barn,  a  horse  stable  ands 
carriage  shed,  cattle  sheds,  wool: 
houses  and  other  smaller  bnildings. 

In  the  rear  of  the  institution  is  1 
farm  of  195  acres  suitable  for  raising

small  fniits  and  garden  vegetables, 
and  through  which  a  stream  of  pure 
water  flows  ;  and  here  there  is  also  am- 
ple pasturage  for  cows.  About  loo 
acres  of  this  farm  are  cultivated  by 
the  boys  who  comprise  the  inmates  of 
the  institution.  The  various  indus- 
tries of  the  school  give  employment 
to  over  400  boys.  There  is  a  tailor 
shop  where  the  clothing  worn  l)y  the

>oys  is  made  and  repaired :  a  printing 
)ffice  where  all  the  printing  of  the 
nstiution  is  done  and  from  which  has 
)een  issued  for  fifteen  years,  the 
nonthly  publication  of  the  school 
ailed  The  Dawn.  There  are  also  six 
hair  shops,  where  cane-seating  is 
aught ;  a  shoe  shop  where  shoe-mak- 
ng  is  taught,  and  a  manual  training 
lef>artment  where  daily  instniction  is 
I 


given  to  over  100  boys.  The  institu- 
tion is  carried  on  with  every  regard 
for  economy ;  and  the  laundry,  din- 
ing room,  bakery,  kitchen  and  sleeping 
halls  all  re(|uire  classes  of  from  six  to 
ten  boys  each. 

The  boys  are  supplied  with  the 
best  of  plain  food  and  every  care  is 
given  to  their  mental  and  physical 
welfare.  The  inmates  of  the  institu- 
tion are  boys  between  the  ages  of  sev- 
en and  sixteen  years,  committed  to  the 
school  by  any  court  of  record  in  the 
state  and  also  those  who  have  their 
boanl  paid  at  the  rate  of  $3.00  per 
week,  (|uarterly  in  advance,  by  their 
parents  or  guardians.  I'oys  who  ob- 
serve the  rules  of  this  institution,  even 
though  they  have  been  sentenced  to 
serve  a  term  there,  may  secure  their 
«lischarge  at  the  expiration  of  eleven 
months,  no  matter  how  serious  the  of- 
fense may  have  been  for  which  they 
were  committed. 

From  the  fact  that  not  all  the  boys 
at  the  Connecticut  State  Sch(X)l  are 
necessarily  bad  boys,  they  are  divided 
into  several  grades  and  for  good  be- 
havior they  may  win  honor  marks, 
which  means  more  privileges  and  more 
freedom.  It  is  seldom  that  a  boy  tries 
to  escape  from  this  institution. 

There  is  a  force  of  about  fifty  offi- 
cers and  teachers  employed  at  the 
school,  which  includes  some  of  the 
l)est  educational  talent  in  the  state. 
The  lx)ys  are  given  at  least  two  hours 
daily  for  recreation  and  on  Saturday 
afternoon  enjoy  the  freedom  of  ball 
playing  or  to  indulge  in  other  games 
that  may  suit  their  inclination.

POLICE  AND  FIRE  DEPARTMENTS 


POLICE  DEPARTMENT. 


The  Police  Department  of  the  city 
of  Meridcn  was  created  in  Septem- 
ber, i8^>8'  the  Common  Council,  with 
Mayor  Charles  Parker  at  the  head, 


I  niKF  c.  l\.  ISOWIIN. 


voting  to  rej)lace  the  constabidary  witli 
a  pemianent  and  regularly  ])ai(l  force 
to  meet  the  growing  demand  for  better 
police  protection ;  in  the  same  month 
the  police  committee,  consisting  of 
Hezckiah  H.  Miller.  William  J.  Ives, 
Walter  Hubbard,  Jared  I  -ewis  and  J. 


K.  Cook-,  practically  effected  the  or- 
ganization of  the  department,  and  in 
X(jveml>er  the  force  began  duty  with 
the  following  members :  William  Hag- 
adon,  chief ;  and  George  \  an  Xos- 
trand,  Roger  M.  Ford  and  Samuel  H. 
Wilcox,  patrolmen. 

The  department  at  first  had  no  par- 
ticular headquarters ;  the  lock-up  was 
in  the  basement  of  the  Town  hall  and 
was  a  large  plank  box  affair,  located 
at  the  west  end  of  the  building,  the 
entrance  being  at  the  east  end. 

The  chief  did  duty  from  6  a.  m. 
to  6  p.  m.  and  the  patrolmen  from  6 
p.  m.  to  6  a.  m.  At  the  beginning  the 
men  wore  badges  but  had  no  uniforms 
and  were  distinguished  by  hats  with 
flaring  brims,  upturned  at  the  side. 
These,  the  first  of  Meriden's  "finest," 
carried  a  club,  revolver  and  twisters 
of  catgut  and  wf^od.  A  little  later 
uniforms  were  donned,  the  trousers  of 
which  had  white  strij)es  down  the 
seams.  The  chief  was  paid  $2.75  per 
day  and  the  men  $2.50  and  they  were

.*  block  on  Colony  street  was 
by  the  city,  cells  beintjf  con- 
d  in  the  basement,  pending  the 
tion  of  the  new  Town  hall. 
1  30,  1898,  Captain  \'an  Nos- 
was  promoted  to  succeed  Chief 


Ford.  Under  him  the  department 
was  .S(M)n  bruujtilit  to  a  h'}^h  standard 
of  efficiency.  He  ro>i.i;iu'<l  t\l unary

by  Charles  U.  liowen  and  at  which 
time  aid  James- J.  Landrigan  was  ap- 
pointed captain. 

In  1903  the  Legislature  gfave  the 
four  officers  of  the  force  the  right  to 
apjx^al  to  the  Superior  court  if  dis- 
missed or  reduced  in  rank.  In  1905 
the  Legislature  granted  an  amendment 
to  the  city  charter,  at  the  instance  of 
Mayor  George  S.  Seeley  and  com- 
missioners August  Maschmeyer,  C.  .\. 
King,  C.  L.  Upham  and  Robert  \V. 
Carter,  whereby  a  police  retired  re- 
serve list  was  established.  The  Coun- 
cil had  defeated  a  movement  for 
a  ^nsion  fund.  In  August,  Patrol- 
man Simon  S.  Hills,  who  has  been 
on  the  force  since  1882,  was  placed  on 
the  list,  and  later  at  his  own  request. 
Chief  Van  Nostrand  was  also  placed 
on  the  resTrve  list. 

The  department  is  considered  one 
of  the  best  in  the  state.  Its  mainte- 
nance costs  the  citv  $20,000  a  year  and 
it  is  conducted  on  an  economical  vet 
wise  basis.  In  addition  to  four  offi- 
cers, twelve  patrolmen  and  forty  su- 
pernumeraries, there  is  a  superinten- 
dent of  the  police  signal  system,  a 
matron  of  the  police  stati(jn  ami  a  jan- 
itor. Funds  are  provided  by  the  city 
for  a  physician  for  the  pri>oners  and 
hospital  service  for  the  police.  The 
signal  system  costs  $600  a  year  and

The  volunteers  have  pulled  their  old 
reliable  hand  hose  wagon  to  many  fires 
in  recent  years,  and  they  have  done 
good  work,  but  the  fine  equipment  of 
the  regular  companies  has  made  their 
services  less  and  less  urgent  and  the 
members  now  give  more  attention  to 
the  social  gatherings  for  which  they 
are  justly  renowned. 

The  officers  and  members  of  the 
company  are  as  follows:  David  T.

The  Meriden  Veteran  Firemen's  As- 
sociation, which  has  been  in  existence 
only  a  short  time,  numbers  among  its 
members  many  of  Meriden's  promi- 
nent citizens.  It  gives  frequent  social 
times  that  are  very  well  received  by 
all  the  people.  John  C.  Byxbee  was 
the  first  president;  E.  E.  West,  the

graph system  of  Meriden  is  valued  at 
a))out  $i5,n(X). 

The  volunteer  fire  department  was 
started  in  1867,  when  Meriden  was  in- 
corporated a  city,  and  John  C.  Byxbee 
was  made  the  chief  ent;inocr.  His  as- 
sistants were  Christopher  Kehstock 
aad  Michael  Carlin.  Tin  following 
year  J,  W.  Hiney  was  made  chief  and 
he  was  assisted  by  Charles  Warner 
and  Arthur  J.  Hughes.  Warner,  with 
A.  J.  Hughes  and  A.  W.  Harvey,  as 
assistants,  followed  Hincy  and  that 
same  year,  1869,  the  water  works  was 
finished,  and  the  old  hand  engines 
were  abandoned.  Arthur  Hughes 
succeeded  Chief  Warner  and  then 
came  Robert  Oughton.  He  was  the 
last  head  of  the  volunteers. 


The  present  paid  fire   dcp-n  j 
was  started  in  1873  and  John  C.

When  the  block  was  completed  that

W.  H.  A.  MAYXARD. 


Walter  H.  A.  Maynard,  manager  of 
the  Home  Club  since  January  i,  1903, 
was  born  in  Natick,  Mass,  March  26, 
1857,  and  is  known  by  the  members  of 
the  club  as  "Pop."  He  learned  the  doc- 
trines of  an  epicure  under  Daniel  H. 
Maynard,  his  uncle,  who  for  a  quarter 
century  conducted  the  famous  Samoset 
House  at  Plymouth,  Mass. 

Since  coming  to  Meriden  Mr.  May- 
nard has  enjoyed  a  high  reputation, 
first  established  here  at  the  Winthrop 
Hotel.  When  his  services  were  se- 
cured by  the  Home  Club,  the  members 
became  satisfied  that  there  was  none 
better  to  manage  their  house.  His 
paraphernalia  comprises  every  facility. 
Xo  social  function  is  too  large  and 
none  too  small  to  secure  his  service 
as  a  caterer,  provided  the  call  comes 
from  the  right  direction ;  nor  in  recent 
vears  has  anv  occasion  been  considereci 
a  complete  success  unless  he  has  fur- 
nished the  viands. 

He  is  a  member  of  Meridian  Lodge, 
77,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. :  Keystone  Chapter, 
R.  A.  M. ;  Hamilton  Council,  R.  &  S. 
M.,  and  enjoys  a  wide  acquaintance 
and  deserved  popularity  among  the 
lea<ling  citizens  of  this  town  and  else- 
where. His  lei  SI!  re  moments  are  spent 
at  the  "Bungalow,"  which  he  built  on

AlPZRIDEX  WHEEL  CLUB. 


The  oldest  cycling:  orcranization  in 
Connecticut  is  the  Mci  ukn  Wheel  clv.t' 
and  it  was  started  December  18.  i88<:'. 
when  there  were  less  than  a  dozen  bi- 
cycle riders  in  Meriden.  For  two 
years  members  met  in  Dentist  T.  S. 
Rust's  rooms,  but  in  1882  peniianent 
quarters  were  secured  in  Palace  block 
and  have  been  continually  occupied 
since. 

Among  the  early  members  were  Dr. 
T.  S.  Rust,  W.  H.  Squire,  J.  E.  Brain- 
ard,  L.  A.  Miller,  Max  E.  Miller,  Wil- 
liam Collins,  Horace  Miller,  Frank  .A. 
Stevens,  Reuben  J.  Rice,  Wells  Mc- 
M asters,  Josejih  Hyde,  E.  J.  Poole?'. 
Harry  A.  Stevens,  Albert  L.  Stetson, 
John  W.  Lane  and  C.  Win.  King. 

Cycling  those  days  was  a  far  dif- 
ferent proposition  than  the  present 
day.  The  ordinary,  or  high  wheel,  as 
known  by  many,  was  the  only  make  in 
existence  and  later  day  devotees  of 
the  low  safety  never  experienced  the 
exhilarating  fun  of  coasting  down  a 
steep  hill  with  feet  thrown  high  over 
the  handle  bars  and  seated  in  a  narrow 
saddle  fiftv-six  inches  from  the 
ground.  It  was  seldom  a  *'high  whcd- 
er**  went  through  the  season  without 
one  or  more  croppers  and  these  ait 
often  recalled  when  the  veterans  get 
together  and  talk  over  old  times. 

Twenty  years  ago  the  roads  through- 
ot^t  Connecticut  were  in  abominable 
condition.  Sandy  soil  and  rocks 
abounded  in  every  direction.  The  ag- 
itation of  t)ie  rapidly  increasing  ranks 
of  cyclists  for  good  roads  quickly  bore

he  Meriden  Wheel  Club  was  a 
factor  in  the  good  roads  move- 
it.  J-  E.  Brainard.  then  president. 
Attorney  H.  T.  King,  also  a  mcm- 
,  appeared  before  the  Legislature 
eral  times  and  their  hard  work  did 


ich  towards  the  success  of  the  pro- 
t  of  improving  the  roads. 
It  was  two  Wheel  Club  members, 
.  H.  Squire  and  F.  C.  Borst,  the  lat- 
at  the  time  being  a  reporter  fcr 
le  Journal,  who  originated  and 
shed  through  the  cycle  path  project 
mi  Meriden  to  North  Haven,  wh'ch 


was  a  great  boom  for  bicycling  at  that 
time.  John  S.  Lane  &  Son  furnished 
free  the  trap  rock  used.  Liberal  con- 
tributions were  received  and  the  patl; 
was  finally  constructed  under  the  di- 
rection of  President  J.  E.  Brainard, 
who  later  made  one  of  the  best  street 
superintendents  Meriden  ever  had. 
It  was  under  the  auspices  of  the 


.Meriden  Wheel  Club  that  three  big 
national  circuit  race  meets  were  given 
in  this  city  in  i895-'96-'97.  All  the 
famous  riders  participated  and  some 
idea  of  the  magnitude  of  the  under- 
taking can  be  realized  when  the  club 
went  to  an  expense  of  over  $1,000  for 
each  meet.    They  were  very  success-

eight  signatures  were  then  and  there 
secured.  This  was  the  final  result 
of  a  previous  suggestion  made  at 
Pilgrims'  Harbor  Council,  by  its 
vice-regent.  Joseph  A.  Rf)berge.  His 
plan  of  forming  a  social  club  in 
Meriden  composed  of  members  of 
the  Royal  Arcanum  for  the  purpose 
of  extending  the  social  features  of 


G.  Birdsey  and  N.  D.  Clark  of  Pil-

Bowker,  Willis  J.  Prouty.  Horace  S. 
Savage,  G,  H.  Yeamans  and  L.  H.

The  committee  reported  adversely

achieved  from  the  very  beginning. 
On  Nov.  I,  1904,  the  club  l)ecanie 
an  open  t.mc  and  others  beside  mem- 
Ikt>  (It  the  Royal  Arcamini  were  made 
elii;iljle  to  iiiembership.  From  this 
date  tlic  ckib  experienced  a  remarkable 
growth,  increasing  from  125  members 
to  350,  its  present  limit,  and  largely 
owing  to  the  untiring  and  earnest  ef- 
forts of  Geo.  F.  Rogers. 

By  vote  of  its  members  in  Jan- 
uary i90^>,  the  name  of  the  club  was 
changed  to  that  of  the  Colonial 
<^lub,  which  it  now  bears.  In  the 
!^pring  of  1906  the  quarters  of  tlie 
club  were  enlarged  and  the  building 
was  altered  and  refurnished  at  an 
expense  of  $3,000,  giving  the  club 
the  whole  of  the  top  floor  of  the 
building.  These  changes  also  gave 
the  club  the  opportunity  to  better 
accommodate  the  members  and  to  fit 
up  the  largest  billiard  an<l  ]  >-  '  1  room 
of  any  club  in  the  state.  The  rooms 
^f  the  Colonial  Club  are  luxurious 
in  appointment  and  furnish  every 
possible  comfort  of  club  life  as  indi« 
cated  by  the  accompanying  illus- 
trations. The  large  assembly  room  is 
used  for  the  meetings  of  the  orga- 
nization as  well  as  the  social  events, 
and  in  this  also  the  Meriden  councils 
of  the  Royal  Arcanum,  the  Elks  and 
the  Heptasophs  hold  their  regular 
meetings. 

The  club  possesses  its  own  stew- 
ard who  has  four  assistants  in  keep- 
ing the  club  rooms  in  apple  pic 
order,  and  also  catering  for  the  regu- 
lar Saturday  evening  lunches,  given 


in  the  l)ant|uet  room  by  the  club  to

SOCIETV. 


This  society  whose  membership 
of  560  distinguishes  it  as  the  largest 
total  abstinence  organization  in  the 
state,  was  organized  Nov.  21.  1880,  in 
room  i6.  Palace  Block,  with  four- 
teen members,  having  the  following 
objects  in  view:  The  promotion  of 
total  abstinence,  morality  and  be- 
nevolence. To  these  objects  the 
society  has  strictly  adhered  and  to 
this  fact  the  success  of  the  organiza- 
tion is  attributed.  It  is  maintained 
entirely  by  the  following  sources  of

revenue:  Monthly  dues,  which  are 
;o  cents,  and  by  public  events  of 
which  two  are  given  annually;  an 
excursion*  usually  to  New  York  and 
Coney  Island,  on  which  they  have 
carried  as  many  as  i,8oo  people  on 
one  occasion;  and  an  entertainment 
and  dance  that  has  been  given  in  the 
town  hall  on  each  Thanksgiving 
night.  Its  membership  is  composed 
exclttsivelv  of  Catholics  between  the 
agres  of  1 8  and  35  years.  The  so- 
ciety was  incorporated  on  March  22, 
J8!>5.  The  officers  are  elected  semi- 
annually. The  benevolent  feature  of 
the  organization  is  a  sick  benefit  of 
S5.00  per  week  and  at  death  the  sum 
of  $100  is  paid.  There  is  also  an 
extra  benefit  branch  attached  to  the 
society,  that  is  known  as  the  "Extra 
Benefit  Branch*'  of  which  the  mem- 
bers may  avail  themselves  b\'  pay- 
ing a  small  consideration  each 
month.  The  society  has  one  of  the 
finest  sets  of  club  rooms  in  the  city, 
having  seven  large  rooms  situated 
on  the  third  floor  of  Palace  Block, 
consisting  of  an  elaborately  furnished 
parlor,  a  library,  meeting  room, 
smoking  room,  pool  and  card  rooms 
and  a  room  for  the  officers,  and  on 
these  is  exercised  great  care  in  fit- 
ting for  the  comfort  and  enjoyment 
of  the  members.  A  number  of  pri- 
vate social  events  are  given  each 
year.  Of  these  the  most  notable  is 
their  anniversary,  celebrated  with  a 
ball  and  banquet  usually  on  the  first 
Friday  of  January.  On  different 
occasions  they  have  given  public  en* 


tertainments,  the  entire  proceeds  go- 
ing to  public  or  charitable  institu- 
tions;  and  they  have  cared  for  and 
practically  maintained  for  a  number 
of  years  the  free  ice  water  fountain 
in  front  of  Palace  Block.  Besides 
their  rooms,  the  society  has  a  valua- 
ble piece  of  land  on  West  Main 
street,  with  a  frontage  of  110  feet 
and  a  depth  of  125  feet  and  has  also 
a  comfortable  balance  in  the  bank. 


AMARANTH  CLUB. 


An  organization  which  has  for 
some  years  fij^ured  prominently  in 
Meriden  social  life  is  thie  Ama- 
ranth Club,  incorporated  in  1S95, 
occupying  commodious  and  hand- 
somely furnished  quarters  in  the 
Cahill  Block.  This  social  club  has 
now  a  resident  membership  of  125 
and  possesses  fifteen  non-resident 
members.  Its  objects  are  the  pro- 
motion of  sociability  and  friendship; 
and  the  organization  is  distinctively 
cosmopolitan,  good  fellowship  and  re- 
s[)ectal)ility  being  the  necessary  requi- 
sites for  membership. 

The  formation  of  this  popular 
social  club  dates  back  to  January 
19,  1893.  The  first  quarters  com- 
prised the  three  rooms  previously 
occupied  by  the  Young  Men  s  Ger- 
man-American Club,  in  the  Wilcox 
Block,  the  furnishings  and  rental  of 
the  rooms  being  the  same  year  pur- 
chased entire.  The  first  officers 
were:  President,  A,  W.  Tracy; 
vice-president,   John    A.  Hurley;

secretary,  T.  E.  Reynolds  and  treas- 
urer, James  J.  Landrigan.  From 

I  the  character  of  its  membership  the 
club  has  always  been  a  growing 
and  a  prosperous  one.  and  within 
two  years  it  became  a|)parent  that 
larger  quarters  were  needed.  Upon

have  been  events  long  looked  for- 
ward to  and  remembered.  The  club 
has  in  various  other  ways  won  dis- 
tinction and  success.  Its  summer 
outings  have  been  invariably  well 
attended  and  the  only  occasion 
when  the  local  o|)era  house,  now 
destroyed  by  fire,  was  ever  filled  to

the  same  time  the  present  rooms  in 
the  Cahill  block  were  fitted  up  and 
furnished  entirely  new  at  a  cost  of 
about  $2,500.  This  club  enjoys  an 
enviable  reputation  for  hospitality, 
harmony  and  the  good  fellowship

regular  theatrical  performance,  was 
when  the  Amaranth  club  brought 
a  pleasurable  theatrical  attraction

leges of  the  theatre  outright.  Many 
citizens  of  Meriden  prominent  in 
business  and  public  life,  including

EA.sr  SIDE  SOCIAL  CLUB. 


As  is  indicated  by  it-  name,  this 
social  club  is  locaud  in  I  lie  eastern 
part  of  Meriden  and  il<  buildin-  i< 
situated  at  the  corner  oi  East  Main 
and  Murray  streets.  This  club  owes 
its  existence  to  the  untiring  efforts 
of  the  following  young  men  of  the 
town:  Simon  J.  Cahill,  Jeremiah  A. 


Lynch,    John    W.    Cahill,  Daniel 
Lynch,  Patrick  J.  Cahill,  John  L. 
Coleman,  J<>]iti   If.   Cook,  Charic? 
Murray,  Alfred  J.  Cook  and  Jere- 
miah Rohan.   It  was  nearly  a  score 
of  years  ago  that  these  young  men 
realized  the  desirability  of  drawing 
the  young  men  together  in  that  sec- 
tion of  the  town  for  the  promotion 
of  social   intercourse,  intellectual 
and  literary  improvement  and  recre- 
ation.  For  the  further  purpose  of 
making  good  citizens  of  themselves 
a  meeting  was  called  under  the 
branches  of  a  historic    elm  tree 
which  then  beautified  that  locality. 
The  result  was  the  appointment  oi 
a  committee  to  consider  the  matter 
and  report  at  the  next  meeting  to 
be  held  at  the  same  place  the  first 
of  the  following  October.  i888.  This 
committee  reported  favorably  and  as 
a  result  the  club  was  given  birth  and 
ten  young  men  became  its  first  mem- 
bers.  The  first  officers  were:  presi- 
dent, John  H.  Cook;  vice  president,  j 
John  L.  Coleman ;  financial  and  re-  | 
cording    secretary,    Jeremiah    A.  > 
Lynch;  treasurer,  Patrick  J.  Cahill.  j 
the  last  named  being  the  present 
incumbent,    having   been    annually  • 
re-elected  ever  since.     The  com-  | 
mittee  appointed  to  look  up  suitable  • 
quarters  secured  a  lease  of  hnd 
from  Waldo  C.  Twiss  and  upon  it  . 
a  club  building  was  erected,  the  : 
entire  work  of  construction  being  i 
done   by   the   members,  and  twt>  |

pancy  and  these  were  situated  about 
100  yards  east  of  the  present  club 
house.  Two  years  later  when  the 
membership  had  increased  to  twen- 
ty the  club  met  its  first  misfortune, 
for  at  that  time  a  disastrous  fire 
totally  destroyed  their  quarters.  In 
consequence  of  this  the  club's  i)ro- 
gjcss  was  stayed  for  a  time  but  later 


more  up-to-date  club  house  was  a 
necessity.  A  building  committee 
was  appointed  to  procure  land  and 
submit  plans  for  the  erection  of  the 
same.  The  present  site  was  chosen 
by  the  members  upon  the  recom- 
mendation of  that  committee  and

bers  were  highly  complimented  for 
their  creditable  achievements  and 
since  that  time  the  dub  has  contin- 
ued to  grow  in  membership.  In 
1899  the  club  was  incorporated  un- 
der the  laws  of  the  state,  receiving 
a  charter  from  the  legislature  which 
entitles  it  to  hold  property  to 
the  value  of  $20,000.  The  member- 
ship now  numbers  sixty  and  this  in- 
cludes several  of  Meriden's  success- 
ful business  and  professional  men. 
It  enjoys  an  enviable  reputation  for 
hospitality  and  this  has  been  one  of 
the  most  important  factors  in  the  pros- 
perity and  popularity  of  the  organi- 
zation.

MERIDEN  SAVING^  BANK, 

In  1851  when  the  Meriden  Savings 
Bank  was  incorporated  Meriden  was 
fast  becoming  a  manufacturing  cen- 

r,  small  as  it  appears  to  us  in  1906, 
but  the  wisdom,  push  and  energy  of 
lliosc  carl)  business  men  was  begin- 
ning to  be  felt  and  Meriden  was  tak- 
ing on  strength  for  the  future.  The 
wise  ones  saw  the  need  of  some  insti- 
tution for  savings  where  the  mechanic 
could  deposit  small  amounts  for  safe 
keeping  and  also  get  money  to  build 
themselves  homes ;  for  it  was  a  pe- 
culiar feature  of  Meriden  at  that 
time,  as  it  lias  been  since,  that  a  ma- 
jority of  the  working  men  lived  in 
their  own  home?,  and  at  that  early 
period  nearly  all  were  native  born. 
To  meet  the  needs  of  the  little  grow- 
ing village  the  l)n<=.!ness  men  lield  a 
meeting  early  iti  1851  to  consider 
plans  and  the  outcome  was  tlie  ap- 
pointment of  a  eommittee  to  draw  up 
resolutions  incorporating  The  Meri- 
den Savings  P.ank.  These  were  pre- 
sented at  the  May  session  of  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  and  the  application 
^rranted  by  them,  the  certificate  of  in- 
corporation being  signed  by  John  P. 
C.  Mather,  Secretary  of  State,  July 
12.  A  D  .  185  T. 

The  trustees  were  as  follows; 


Enos  H.  Curtis,  lidwin  E.  Curtis, 
Hiram  Yale,  Ashbel  Griswold,  Charles- 
Parker,  H.  W.  Saltonstall,  Julius 
Pratt,  Alfred  P.  Curliss,  Isaac  C* 
Lewis,  Noah  Pomeroy,  James  A.  Fra- 
ry,  Benjamin  H.  Catlin,  Levi  Yale,. 
Ijertrand  Yale,  A.  C.  VVetmore,  Joel 
H.  Guy,  David  N.  Ropes,  Howell 
Merriman,  Elah  Camp,  Ward  Coe, 
Linus  Birdsey,  Walter  Booth  and  Cur- 
tis L.  \orth. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  trustees 
was  held  at  the  Meriden  Bank  build- 
ing on  Broad  street,  then  called  North 
Market  street.  July  16,  185 1,  and  the 
following  officers  were  elected: 

President — Knos  H.  Curtis. 

V  ice-president — Benjamin  H.  Cat- 
lin. 

Directors — Julius  Pratt,  tliarles- 
Parker,  Levi  >'ale.  Joel  H.  Guy,  Ed- 
win I*!.  Curtis,  Curtis  L.  North.  Da- 
vid X.  Ropes,  Howell  Merriman  and 
Henry  W.  Saltonstall. 

Joel  II.  Guy  was  the  first  secretary 
and  treasurer. 

The  same  year  three  viec-j^residents- 
were  added  to  the  list  oi  officers,  mak- 
ing four,  as  at  present.  The  three 
added  were  Walter  Booth,  Elah  Camp 
and  Ashbel  Griswold.  The  treasurer 
was  autliori/A'd  to  ai)i)oint  a  clerk 
without  extra  expense ;  and  he  ap- 
pointed   Samuel    B.    Morgan.  The

first  attorney  was  Dexter  R.  Wright. 
The  office  of  the  hank  was  for 
about  three  years  at  the  residence  of 
the  treasurer  on  West  Main  street, 
present  number  34.  but  for  the  acconi- 
modation  of  the  "up-town"  people  he

was  authorized  to  receive  deposits  at 
the  Meriden  Bank  on  Tuesdays  of 
each  week  from  two  to  four  o'clock 
p.  m. 

The  directors  met  once  a  week  at 
the  treasurer's  residence  for  the  first 
two  years ;  but  the  time  was  soon 
changed  to  once  a  month.  The  first

I'ebruary  4.  1861,  is  significant: 

\'otcd.  To  loan  the  balance  now  in 
the  treasury  as  the  appraising:  com- 
mittee shall  think  will  best  subserve 
the  interests  of  the  business  commun- 
ity and  the  bank 


S.  II.  W.  YALE. 

That  the  directors  were  patriotic  is 
shown  by  the  vote  September.  1861, 
instruct injj  the  treasurer  to  buy  treas- 
ury notes,  I'.  sixes,  at  97".s  and 
7-30  notes  at  par. 

As  business  increased  there  was 
need  of  larger,  more  convenient  and 
secure  quarters  of  more  central  loca- 
tion, and  the  office  was  moved  to  the 
town  clerk's  office  in  the  town  hall  in 
1864.  where  the  town  vault  could  t)e 
utilized. 

July,  1866,  A.  H.  Curtis  succeeded 


Levi  E.  Coe  as  treasurer,  the  latter 
being  appointed  a  director.  The  late 
secretary  and  treasurer,  S.  H.  W. 
Yale,  became  clerk  the  same  year,  bus- 
iness increasing  so  that  the  treasurer 
neetled  an  assistant. 

In  1868  is  found  an  advertisement 
in  the  Meriden  Republican  stating 
that  the  deposits  were  then  $500,000, 
and  office  hours  9  to  12  and  2  to  4. 

The  bank  occupied  the  town  clerk's 
office  from  1864  to  1871  when  it  pur- 
chased the  P.  J.  Clark  property,  cor-

A  CEMURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


The  Mcridcn  Republican  tlicn  began 
occupying  the  one  on  the  corner  and 
the  bank  the  one  west,  having  fitted 
up  one  side  for  an  office,  {Hitting  in  a

in  the  bank.  S.  H.  \\  .  \  ale  then  suc- 
ceeded to  the  position  of  treasurer 
and  \V.  II.  Catlin  entered  as  clerk. 

The  Meriden  Savings  liank  lias  had 
a  healthy,  continuous  growth  from  the 
start  and  has  met  with  l)ut  few  losses, 
the  only  one  of  any  moment  was  when 
the  Wallingford  tornado  destroyed  a 
number  of  houses  on  which  it  had 
mortgages. 

In  1882  the  frame  building  it  had 
occupied  since  1871  was  moved  to 
Veteran  street,  that  asylum  for  old 
buildings,  and  the  present  brick  block 
was  built.  The  same  \ear  IMwin  H.

.MKRIDEX    NATIONAL  BANK. 


This  institution  has  an  honored  hi>- 
tory,  for  it  has  served  its  purpose  and 
served  it  well,  for  nearly  three-quar- 
ters of  the  century  which  Meriden  eel- 
ebrates  in  hk>^)  as  an  incorporated 
town.  Organized,  as  all  banks  were 
in  tho.sc  days,  as  a  state  bank,  tlu- 
charter  was  approved  in  Tune.  1835. 
and  business  was  begun  vwth  a  capi- 
tal ol  $ioi>.oix).  in  a  room  in  the  dwell- 
ing house,  on  Broad  street,  of  Wil 
liam  Yale,  but  now  owned  b>  W'illiain

brick  building  was  erected  on  Broad 
si  reel,  which  for  many  years  after  \va^

and  which  is  shown  in  the  smaller  of 
the  accompanying  illustrations.  The 
first  lx)ard  of  directors  consisted  of 
Silas  Mix,  Samuel  Vale.  Elisha  A. 
Cowles,  Stephen  Taylor.  Ashabel  Gris- 
wold,  James  S.  Brooks.  Xoah  Pome- 
roy,  John  D.  Reynolds  and  Walter 
Booth.  Ashabel  Griswold  was  the  first 
president,  and  Francis  Kin)^.  cashier. 

In  1836  the  bank's  capital  was  in- 
creased to  $150,000  in  order  to  keep 
pace  with  the  business  done  and  which 
was  a  success  from  the  very  start. 
General  Walter  Booth  then  became

president  and  Harry  Hayden  was 
chosen  cashier  to  fill  the  vacancy 
caused  by  the  death  of  Francis  Kinsj: 
•n  1837.  After  twelve  years'  faithful 
service  as  president.  General  I'ooth 
finally  declined  further  re-election  and 
Noah  Pomeroy  became  the  head,  who 
i'l  turn  was  followed  by  Joel  H.  Guy 
and  Joel  I.  P»utler.  all  of  whom  were 
lamors  in  the  history  of  the  town. 
When  Mr.  lU  tler  died,  O.  B.  Arnold, 
the  former  cashier,  became  the  pr^'si- 
'^ent  and  he   served   until   his  re- 


gretted decease  August  30,  1900.  He 
was  succeeded  as  president  by  Levi 
E.  Coe  and  after  his  death  by  the 
present  incumbent,  George  M.  Clark, 
the  fomier  cashier,  but  who  served 
many  years  previously  as  teller.  In 
1905  Mr.  Clark  was  succeeded  as 
cashier  by  W.  M.  Quested,  formerly 
teller,  who  has  since  served  as 
cashier.  The  capital  stock  of  the 
bank  in  1850  was  increased  to  $250,- 
000  and  again,  four  years  later,  when 
it  was  made  $300,000,  but  in  1 901  was 
reduced  to  $200,000.  While  the  busi- 
ness of  the  institution  has  always  been 
conducted  with  success,  as  its  comfor- 
table surplus  fund  and  regularly  de- 
clared dividends  indicate,  this  srccess 
has  been  the  result  of  conservative 
management  which  has  marked  as  well 
the  history  of  all  other  Meriden  finan- 
cial institutions  during  the  last  half 
century  or  more.  The  Meriden  Bank 
became  nationalized  in  1865  and  again 
in  1905  its  charter  as  such  was  re- 
newed for  twenty  years  by  the  govern- 
ment at  Washington. 

The  present  handsome  quarters  have 
been  occupied  since  February  22,  1885, 
and  after  the  bank  had  erected  the 
large  brick  structure  shown  in  the  ac- 
panying  illustration  and  was  first  oc- 
cupied on  that  date.  The  present  quar- 
ters not  only  com|)rise  modern,  com- 
modious, convenient  banking  rooms, 
but  contain  safety  deposit  boxes  which 
are  rented. 

The  officers  and  directors  of  the 
bank  at  this  writing  are:  George  M. 
Clark,  president  :  Herman  Hess,  vice- 
president  :  W.  M.  Quested,  cashier ;

Thv  Home  Xational  liank.  located

with  it  le.idinjj  tinancial  and  business 
men  of  the  city  and  was  chartered  by 
the  lejjislature  as  a  state  bank  in  1854. 
The  cause  which  led  to  its  formation 
was  principally  a  <lesire  for  a  bank  in 
the  new  center  oi  busines.s.  The  bus- 
iness men  about  the  corner  cordially

James  A.  Frarj-  and  Fenner  Bush.  H. 
C  .  Young  became  the  first  cashier  and 
served  until  September  7,  1857.  Dur- 
ing his  time  the  business  was  carried 
on  in  the  nx^ins  of  the  Youn^  .Men's 
Institute  in  Collins*  block,  but  later  re- 
moved to  the  wooden  building  owned

by  Henry  C.  lUitler.  which  stood  on 
the  site*  of  the  present  hank,  in  1858, 
the  property  was  bought  for  $3,750. 
.Soon  after,  they  sold  a  portion  of  it 
for  $3,000,  so  that  their  now  valuable 
jiroperty  cost  them  but  $750.  In 
1863  the  present  commodious  banking 
house  was  built,  the  old  building  be- 
ing reuKned  to  W  est  Main  street. 

In  the  meantime  various  changes  in 
officers  and  capital  stock  had  occurre<l 
and  the  bank  had  seen  a  period  of 
great  prosperity.  May  i.  1856.  ICli 
Butler  had  been  elected  to  the  presi- 
dency to  sitcceed  .Mr.  r.aldwin,  who 
resigned,  and  Samuel  Dodil  came  from 
the  City  Bank  in  Hartford,  where  he 
had  been  teller,  to  assume  the  office  of 
cashier.  The  following  \ear.  Jan- 
uary 6.  1857.  the  cai)ital  was  increased 
by  $5o.(X3j.  and  two  months  later  by 
$2,000  more,  owing  to  the  fact  that 
the  subscriptions  to  the  increase  had 
exceeded  bv  that  sum  the  amoutit  re- 
quired.  In  September.  1859,  the  rapid 
growth  of  the  bank  demanded  another 
increase  and  the  capital  was  acconl- 
ingly  raised  to  the  sum  of  $300,000. 

( >ii  December  24.  1864.  it  was  voted 
to  nationalize  the  bank  and  increase 
the  capital  to  $400,000  and  Januarv  i  ( >, 
1865.  they  were  authorized  to  begin 
business  as  a  Xational  bank.  The 
bank's  history  has  been  one  of  prosjuT- 
ity.  excellent  business  judgment  on  the 
part  of  its  officials  and  a  rapid  increa.se 
in  deposits.  In  18^)7.  Mr.  Dodd  re-

FIRST  NATIONAL  BANK. 


It  was  in  1863,  when  the  growth  of 
the  town  seemed  to  warrant  it,  that 
the  First  National  Bank  of  Meriden 
was  organized. 

The  bank's  first  place  of  business 
was  in  a  small  frame  building  located 
near  the  present  brown  stone  building 
erected  in  1872. 

The  late  Joel  H.  Guy,  one  of  the 
most  reliable  and  able  financiers  of  the 
city,  was  elected  i  s  first  president 
The  first  cashier  was  Wolcott  A.  Hull, 
who  was  succeeded,  in  1870,  by 
Charles  L.  Rockwell.  The  late  John 
D.  Billard  succeeded  to  the  presidency 
upon  the  death  of  Mr.  Guy  in  1881. 
At  Mr.  Billard*s  death  in  1902  Mr. 
Rockwell,  who  had  been  cashier  of  the 
..ank  since  1870,  was  elected  president, 
which  office  he  now  holds ;  and  Floyd 
Curtis,  formerly  teller,  was  elected 
cashier,  in  which  capacity  he  has  since 
served.  The  present  capital  of  the 
bank  is  $200,000  and  its  surplus  is 
$300/X)0.  The  bank  has  long  since 
taken  its  place  among  the  leading 
banking  institutions  of  the  state.  The

MERIDEN  BOARD  OF  TRAUh:. 


Meridcn  is  possessed  of  an  ener- 
getic board  of  trade,  composed  of 
\vr>rthy  citizens  and  men  whose  in- 
fluence has  been  exerted  with  L^uod 
results  toward  the  bettcrriient  ot 
the  town.  The  following  men  of 
.^leriden  comprised  the  first  officers 
and  directors:  Charles  L.  Upham, 
president ;  H.  Wales  Lines  and  Sam- 
uel Dodd,  vice-i)residents ;  Eli  C.  Hird- 
sey,  secretary;  i.  L.  Holt,  treasurer: 
<lirectors.  Francis  Atwater,  X.  L. 
Bradley.  John  L.  Billard,  Eli  C.  Bird-

W  ales  Eines,  William  H.  I-yon,  John 
S.  Lane.  Edward  Miller.  Charles  L. 
Rockwell.  Jnhii  A.  Hurley,  .\ugust 
Schnielzer,  M.  \'>.  Sclunck.  George  H. 
Wilcox  and  Charles  L.  L  ))ham. 

The  organization  of  the  Board  of 
Trade,  which  occurred  in  July,  1897, 
uas  met  with  much  enthusiasm  on  the 
I'art  of  the  business  men  of  the  town, 
and  not  long  after  the  first  meeting, 
which  was  held  in  the  Town  hall.  De- 
cember 18.  1895,  the  Board  of  Trade 
numbered  325  members.   During  the 


first  tew  years  of  its  existetice  many 
expected  that  Meriden  would  innue- 
diatcly  be  possessed  of  numerous  new 
factories,  and  the  ra])id  buildni^  uj) 
of  the  town,  and  the  first  president 
was  Invally  sui)])()rte(l  with  that  aim  in 
view.  i  lie  first  creditable  effort  was 
tile  a>sislance  rendered  the  peoj)le  of 
Souiinngton  in  devising  ways  aufl 
means  for  building  the  electric  tram- 
wax,  now  runninj^  between  .Meri<len, 
Sonthin,i;lon  and  Lake  Compounce, 
which  has  brought  thousands  of  dol- 
lars annually  to  Meriden  merchants. 
The  committee  apjininted  b}'  the  P.nard 
of  1  rade.  to  bring  about  this  happy 
result  consisted  of  Francis  Atwater, 
then  a  director  of  the  Board  of  Trade, 
but  later  made  president,  who,  with 
John  .v.  Hurley,  another  director,  pro- 
moted the  company  which,  since  its 
organization,  has  been  conducted  with 
success. 

While  there  have  been  times  in 
the  history  of  the  local  lioard  of  Trade 
when  its  membership  has  been  re- 
duced, there  have  always  been  a  few 
active  workers  within  its  ranks;  and 
at  the  present  time  its  membership  is 
100.  The  propositions  listened  to  by 
the  Board  of  Trade  from  concerns 
who  would,  if  they  could,  locate  in 
.Meriden,  but  many  of  whom  were  not 
desirable,  have  been  almost  number* 
less. 

In  conducting  their  investigations 
the  members  of  the  lioard  of  Trade, 
have  spent  freely  of  their  time  and 
money  without  regard  for  persona! 
gain.  In  1905  the  board  accomplished 
its  crowning  achievement,  securing^  the

THE   JOURNAL  PUBLISHING 
COMPANY. 


No  clearer  knowledge  can  be  briefly 
gleaned  of  a  city  than  by  a  glance  at 
its  newspapers.  If  they  be  prosper^ 
ous,  pushing  and  enterprising,  they 
but  indicate  the  spirit  of  the  commun- 
ity in  which  they  are  produced  and  its 
progressiveness  is  marked  in  their 
pages.  It  is  true  that  they  may  cre- 
ate and  lead  in  those  things  which 
make  for  the  best  progress  of  a  mu- 
nicipality, but  to  become  successful  in 
progression,  there  must  be  an  appre- 
ciation  shown  in  a  willingness  on  the 
part  of  the  public  to  encourage  such 
leadership  with  sufficient  patronage  to 
make  its  continuance  possible. 

It  is  this  condition  existing  in  Mer- 
iden  which  has  made  of  The  Meriden 
Daily  Journal  one  of  the  leading  pa- 
pers not  only  in  the  state,  but  in  New 
England,  and  permitted  its  owners, 
The  Journal  Publishing  Compaii} ,  to 
build  up  one  of  the  largest  publishing 
and  printing  houses  in  the  New  Eng- 
land states. 

Early  in  1886  it  became  apparent 
that  there  was  an  opening  for  a  new 
evening  dail\  newspaper  in  Meriden 
and  as  a  result  The  Journal  Publish- 
ing Conipan>  was  incorporated  on 
April  2  of  that  year,  for  the  purpose 
of  publishing  The  Meriden  Daily 


Journal  and  to  carry  on  a  general 
printing  and  publishing  business.  In 
those  days  when  mechanical  equip- 
ment was  limited,  only  hundreds  of 
dollars  were  required  in  the  production 
of  a  newspaper  where  now  thousands 
must  be  invested,  and  therefore  the 
new  company  started  business  with 
but  $8,000  capital. 

It  was  shortly  after  this,  however, 
that  the  great  advance  in  methods  due 
to  demands  for  the  quicker  and  better 
production  of  newspapers  began,  and 
costly  machinery,  and  the  growth  of 
the  business,  required  greater  invest^ 
ments  until  the  capital  was  increased 
to  $60,000  and  then  to  $67,000.  This 
capital  and  the  surplus  in  the  business 
of  The  Journal  Publishing  Company 
to-day  represents  an  investment  of 
nearly  $200,000.  Its  business  has  cor- 
respondingly enlarged  *with  its  in- 
creased investment  and  facilities,  a 
ver\  great  share  of  its  patronage  com- 
ing from  outside  Meriden. 

When  the  company  was  formed  in 
1886,  four  men  held  all  the  stock  and 
became  its  officers.  These  same  men. 
elected  at  the  first  meeting,  are  still 
its  directors  and  officers  and  are  all 
actively  engaged  in  the  conduct  of  its 
affairs.  They  are  Francis  Atwater, 
president;  Lewis  Allen,  vice-presi- 
dent ;  Thomas  L.  Reilly,  secretary,  and 
Frank  E.  Sands,  treasurer.

The  Meriden  Daily  Journal  made  its 
first  appearance  on  the  afternoon  of 
April  17,  1886,  as  a  four-page  paper, 
with  seven  columns  to  the  page.  The 


patronized  and  highly  prosperous  pa- 
per and  is  still  growing.  It  has  been 
changed  and  enlarged  frequently,  as 
the  demand  upon  its  advertising  or 
news  columns  required  more  space. 

The  first  change  came  in  Decem- 
ber. 1886,  when  it  was  enlarged  by 
adding  a  column  in  width.  The  fol-

success  of  the  new  daily  was  assured

it  has  continued  to  grow  and  advance, 
until  now  it  goes  not  only  into  near- 
ly every  home  in  Meriden,  but  has 
reached  out  into  the  adjoining  towns 
and  implanted  itself  firmly  in  those 
fields.    It  is  a  widely  read,  largely 


umns  required  more  room,  and  still 
another  column  was  added.  It  con- 
tinued in  this  form  until  the  year  fol-

columns  to  the  page,  and  cut,  folded

MERIDEN  MORXIXG  RECORD. 


The  Record.  Meriden's  only  morn- 
ing newspaper,  enjoys  the  distinction 
3f  being  the  oldest  newspaper  in  the 
:ity,  the  Repul)lican.  which  it  absorbed 
in  1899,  liaving  been  established  in 
i860.  A  few  years  prior  to  the  ab- 
sorption of  the  Republican  by  the  Rec- 
ord, William  A.  Kelsey  ac(|uired  the 
:ontrolling  interest  in  the  Republican 
Publishing  Company,  and  the  merger 
k\as  the  result  of  his  business  acumen 
md  far-sightedness.  W  ith  the  I'2ven- 
injj  Republican  out  of  the  field.  Meri- 
den was  left  with  two  stn^ng,  well 
fstablished  news|)apers ;  the  Record  in 
the  morning,  the  bnirnal  in  the  even- 
ing. 

Prior  to  the  time  Mr.  Kelsey  identi- 
Sed  himself  with  the  Republican  Pub- 
lishing Company,  it  had  conducted  a 
general  job  printing  and  book-binding 
business.  Mr.  Kelsey  soon  decidecl  to 
abandon  these  branches  to  enable  the 
directors  of  the  business  to  devote 
their  entire  energies  to  the  Morning 
Record.  With  the  obstacles  to  its 
progress  removed,  the  Record  went 
ahead  steadily  day  by  day.  and  is  now 
recognized  as  one  of  the  foremost, 
most     influential     and  substantial 


morning  newspapers  in  Connecticut. 

Early  in  1905  The  Republican  Pub- 
lishing Company,  which  is  the  corpo- 
rate name  of  the  Morning  Record, 
purchased  the  valuable  site  on  the 
corner  of  Crown  and  Perkins  streets, 
and  began  the  erection  thereon  of  the  . 
substantial  building  which  is  now  the 
home  of  the  .Morning  Record.  A 
mammoth,  two-deck  press  was  or-

stalled a  few  months  later,  after  the 
completion  of  the  buiUling  in  Se])tem- 
ber.  1905.  A  large  amount  of  other 
new  machinery  was  purchased,  mak- 
ing the  Record  plant  unsurpassed  in 
its  ability  to  produce  a  first-class,  mofl- 
ern  newspaper.

CHURCHES. 


FIRST  CONGREGATIONAL 
CHURCH. 


This  time  honored  church  organiza* 
lion  which,  previous  to  1806,  was  by 
law  the  predominating  power  in  the 
affairs  of  the  town,  as  is  told  at  length 
in  the  first  section  of  this  volume  by 
George  M.  Curtis,  still  occupies  a 
leading  position  in  the  spiritual  and 
social  life  of  Meriden,  The  present 
edifice^a  remarkably  attractive  and  im- 
F^jsing  stone  structure,  was  dedicated 
\pril  2,  1879,  but  some  few  meetings 
A'ere  held  therein  previous  to  its  dedi' 
cation.  The  comer  stone  was  laid 
June  S,  1876,  and  the  cost  of  the 
building  was  about  $175,000. 

The  completion  of  the  church  after 
having  been  in  process  of  construc- 
tion for  over  two  years  was  a  source 
of  much  joy  to  its  members,  and 
from  that  time  to  the  present  the 
society  has  experienced  a  steady 
^owth  in  membership  and  influence. 
The  first  sermon  in  the  present  church 
was  preached  by  Rev.  Tliomas  A. 
Miles,  who  afterwards  supplied  the 
pulpit  of  the  church  from  April,  1879 
to  April,  1881.  Other  divines  who 
afterwards  filled  the  pulpit  but  were 
w>t  installed  as  pastors  were  Rev.  Llcw- 
ellyn  Pratt  who  served  a  year  and 
ten  months,  and  until  December,  1883 ; 
Rev.  Charles  H.  Everest,  who  re- 


mained for  nine  months  from  October 
I,  1884  to  July  I,  1885;  and  Rev. 
Charles  H.  Williams  who  presided 
over  the  church  for  three  years  from 
1886-89.  Asher  Anderson,  Jan- 

uary 31,  1890,  was  then  installed  as 
regular  pastor  and  served  in  that 
capacity  until  November  30,  1901. 
Rev.  Albert  J.  Lord  the  present  pastor 
after  having  filled  the  pulpit  from 
December  4.  1902,  was  installed  Jan- 
uary 27,  1903.  During  its  history  the 
church  has  had  two  assistant  pastors. 
The  first  was  John  W.  Logan,  now 
Y.  M.  C.  A,  secretary  at  Hyde 
Park,  Mass.,  and  Rev.  F.  W.  Hazen, 
the  present  assistant  pastor. 

The  First  Congregational  Church 
is  not  only  a  most  attractive  and  sub- 
stantial house  of  worship  but  it  com- 
prises one  of  most  modern  equii)ment. 
The  latest  acquisition,  and  operated 
through  the  organ  by  dectricity,  is 
a  costly  set  of  chimes,  the  only  set  of 
its  kind  in  the  city,  presented  to 
the  church  by  the  White  families 
in  memory  of  the  late  Edward  H. 
and  Howard  White.  These  chimes, 
twenty  in  number,  first  gave  forth  - 
their  tuneful  melodies  on  Easter 
Sunday  of  the  present  year,  and 
the  church  became  equipped  with 
them  unbeknown  to  its  members.  The 
growth  of  the  church  in  membership

THE  CENTER  CONGREGA- 
TIONAL CHURCH. 

The  Center  Congregational  church, 
situated  at  the  corner  of  Broad  and 
East  Main  streets,  in  the  heart  of  the 
up  town  district,  is  the  oldest  church 
edifice  in  the  city,  having  been  erected 
in  1830.  Its  architecture  is  typical  of 
the  i'uritan  period  of  church  building, 
being  indeed  a  visible  embodiment  of 
the  simplicity,  dignity  and  stability 
wliu  h  iiiarkeil  the  character  and  life 
01  Lhe  tiuKS  out  of  which  it  sprang. 
It  stands  in  tlie  mid.st  ut  the  rush  and 
complexity  of  our  modern  life,  pro- 
claiming silent!)  the  plainer  virtues 
and  austcrer  life  of  tlie  forefathers; 
and  hinchng  intn  one  the  of  small 
begnuuiigs  and  the  nourishing  pre>cnt 
of  our  cit> .  A  N  ew  England  classic 
it  is,  of  unniixe<l  type,  its  simple, 
noble  lines  ennnnuly  satisfying  the 
sense  of  proportion  and  churchliness. 
The  auditefriuni  is  finished  iti  wliite. 
its  chaste  surface^  combining  effec- 
tively with  the  furnisiiings  of  green 
and  gold. 

Mspccially  admired  is  the  t(juer 
with  its  graceful  symmetry,  enhane- 
ed  by  a  -^chcmc  of  light  Doric  and 
lonie  pillars  and  classic  decorations. 
The  clock  in  the  tower  is  a  well- 
known  landmark.. 

The  I  enter  Congrr-atiojinl  church 
lin^  been  so  called  snur  tlie  year 
184S.  in  that  year  a  <li vision  in  the 
original  C«Migregational  church  took 
place  largely  in  conse(|ne?ire  of  the 
center  of  population  changing  to  the 


westward;  about  three-quarters  ot 
the  church  removing,  while  the  rec' 
ords  show  about  one  hundred  and 
twenty  to  have  remained,  including 
all  the  deacons  of  the  church.  The 
property  was  divided.  Those  who 
removed  carried  with  them  the  rec- 
ords of  the  original  church  organiza- 
tion, and  adopted  the  name  "First 
Congregational  Church."  Those 
who  remained  to  worship  in  the  old 
building  adopted  by  the  advice  of  the 
Council  the  title  "Center  Congrega- 
tional Church.'' 

There  was  left  to  the  old  site  by 
this  division  a  baud  of  noble  men  and 
women  to  keep  alive  the  altar  tires 
which    their    fathers    had  builded. 
."^omc  of  them  were  men  of  weight, 
the  stamp  of  whose  character  was 
already  on  the  growing  town.  Call-

cal Jianie,  they  nevertheless  knew  no 
other  church  than  the  one  whose

held.  He  was  ordained  to  the  minis-

stalled as  pastor,  October  6,  1896. 

He  held  the  office  of  president  of 
the  local  Ministers'  Association,  and 
secretary  of  the  Meriden  Guild  of  the 
Religious  Education  Association. 

Mr.  Grant  married  in  1901  Marga- 
ret K.,  eldest  daughter  of  the  late  Rev. 
Alfred  H.  Hall,  a  predecessor  in  the 
pulpit  of  Center  church.  One  son  has 
been  born  to  this  union,  Alfred  Hall 
Grant.  The  family  make  their  home 
in  the  parsonage,  630  Broad  street. 


THE  FIRST  BAPTIST  CHURCH 


This  society  was  organized  Oct. 
7,  1786,  when  Baptists  were  few  in 
numbers  and  looked  then  upon  by  the 
''Standing  Order,"  the  Congrega- 
tionalists,  as  somewhat  beneath  the 
social  plane.  On  November  3,  the 
same  year,  Ephraim  Hough  was 
chosen  deacon.  Isaac  HaU  as  leading 
brother,  and  Joel  Ives  as  church 
clerk.  They  were  later  treated  more 
kindl)  by  the  Methodists,  who 
assisted  them  materially  in  the 
bnilding  of  their  second  meeting 
house. 

Among  the  men  of  the  town  who 
became  in  a  measure  jsupporters  of 
the  Baptist  Church,  but  not  mem- 
bers of  either  the  church  or  the  so- 
ciety should  be  mentioned  the 
following:  Noah  Pomeroy,  L.  Wil- 
cox, W.  Martin,  Chas.  Parker,  L  C. 
Lewis.  John  Parker.  J.  \V.  Russell. 
Edmund  Parker,  Worcester  Ives, 


W.  Beckett.  John  Blake,  S.  Glad- 
win and  L.  Ives.  For  many  years 
before  any  meeting  house  was 
built  within  the  confines  of  the  pres- 
ent township  of  Meriden,  Baptists 
attended  divine  worship,  as  far  back 
as  1739,  at  the  meeting  house  io 
Wallingford.  The  present  society 
was  formed  after  it  had  been  decid- 
ed to  divide  that  church.  The  Mer- 
iden constituency  then  formed  a 
new  covenant  which  was  signed  by 
the  following  twelve  members  of 
this  society:  brethren  Isaac  Hall 
Chas.  Ives,  Ephraim  Hough.  Zena 
Brockett,  Asaph  Mitchell,  Charles 
Ives,  Jr.,  Samuel  Mix,  and  sisters 
Leah  Peck,  Sarah  Ives,  Mary  Hull 
Jerusha  Matoon,  and  Esther  Ma- 
toon,  Isaac  Hall  being  the  first 
clerk.  For  several  years  thereafter 
meetings  were  held  in  private  dwell- 
ings, schoolhouses  and  other  places, 
usually  in  the  southeastern  part  wi 
the  present  Meriden. 

In  1 80 1  a  dwelling  house  was  pur- 
chased near  the  present  dividing 
line  of  Meriden  and  Wallingford  to 
accommodate  Baptists  living  in  both 
towns,  but  in  1815  the  Meriden  Bap- 
tists erected  a  second  meeting 
house,  which  stood  just  south  of  the 
present  parsonage,  and  on  the  site 
which  now  comprises  the  south  comer 
of  Charles  street.  This  building 
was  named  by  the  members  of  the 
''Stending  Order**  the  Salt  Box. 
from  its  unpretentious  appearance 
and  scanty  furnishings.  The  pe«'J 
of  the  church  first  consisted  ot 
lo^'s  hewn  on  one  side  only,  and

Work,  the  reason  ^iven  for  the 
same  when  the  question  was  decided 
in  c<Hirt  was  as  follows:  "Xo  objec- 
tion to  the  r»ai)tists  as  Christian  i)eo- 
ple,  as  good  neighbors  and  worthy 
citizens."  but  Rev.  Mr.  Miller  had  a 
peculiarly  sharp,  ringing  voice,  that 
the  Congregationalists  claimed  would 
di.^turb  their  society  in  worship.  As 
may  be  readily  sujjposed  the  injunc- 
tion  was   removed  and   the  present 


has  hai)pily  put  it.  "the  Millers  of  th 
constructive  rather  than  the  destmc 
tive  .sort,  have  ever  hovered  about  th 
church,"  and  the  members  of  the  M3 
ler  family  through  several  generatioB 
up  to  the  present  time  have  been  nxi^ 
loyal  supporters  of  the  society  and 
commendable  work.

supported  parll\  by  the  established 
Church  of  England,  and  partly  by  the

life  in  the  office  of  a  celebrated  patent 
solicitor.  At  the  age  of  fifteen,  he 
went  alone  to  Toronto,  to  seek  his  life 
work  and  fortune  unaided,  and  suc- 
ceeded in  securing  a  training  in  busi- 
ness management  and  acquiring  a 
kiiMw  lcdtre  of  telegraphy,  being  placed 
subsequently  in  cliarge  of  what  was 
then  a  new  venture  in  Canada,  a  large 
district  messenger  and  branch  tele- 
graph office,  with  the  oversight  of 
some  fifty  hoys. 

Mr.  Harris  a5i>ired  to  business  life 
of  a  different  order,  however,  and  in 
1883  accepted  an  important  position 
with  a  promtTKTit  Xew'  York  banking 
institution,  wlure.  after  a  series  of 
promotions  he  had  a  successful  busi- 
ness career,  and  was  offered  the  posi- 
tion of  manager  of  a  branch  bank- 
ing house  ill  Reading.  I'enn..  and  af- 
terwards in  Philadelphia.  It  was 
while  in  tliis  latter  city  that  ^Ir.  Har- 
ris finally  responded  to  the  call,  that 
he  had  felt  justified  hitherto  in  stead- 
ily resisting,  to  enter  the  gospel  min- 
istry of  his  own  denoniiu.ition,  the 
Baptist  church.  Accordingly  in  1895 
he  entered  Crozer  Theological  Semi- 
nary at  Chester.  Pcnn,.  and  after  pur- 
suing the  regular  course  of  three 
years,  received  his  diploma.  Tune, 
i8i>8.  and  ordained  shortly  fol- 

I  nving  at  the  Fifth  Baptist  church  of 
rhiladilphia.  He  was  afterward  mar- 
ric<I  in  that  church  October  29,  1902, 
to  Auna  L.M.mis  Meredith,  of  Phila- 
delphia, who  lias  made  him  an  excel- 
lent helpmate  in  his  life  work. 

The  first  pn  * orate  Mr.  Harris 
filled  was  during  his  senior  year  at 


seminary  when  he  took  charge  of  the 
Liberty  P  r'  [laptist  chapel,  a  mis- 
sion of  the  iiaplist  churches  of  Cam- 
den, X.  J.,  and  w  inch  has  since  l>ect>nie 
tile  Ilrean  Baptist  church  of  C  anidcn 
In  1898,  he  was  called,  upon  his  grad- 
uation from  Crozer,  to  the  pastorate 
of  the  Tabernacle  Baptist  church. 
Newark.  X.  J.,  which  church  he  ser\ed 
for  a  little  over  five  years,  resigning 
that  charge  in  1903  to  accept  the  pas- 
torate of  the  Main  street  Baptist 
church  of  this  city,  assuming  his  new 
«luties  with  the  last  Sunday  in  June 
of  the  same  year.  Since  his  coming 
there  have  been  noticeable  additio  n.* 
both  to  the  property  and  membership 
and  he  liolds  the  love  and  f-- 
teem  of  a  loyal  and  harmonious  fiock. 
;Mr.  Harris  is  a  man  of  great  encrg} 
and  icrcc  and  since  he  became  its 
pastor  the  church  has  been  greatly 
blesse<l  spiritually.

CHL'RCH. 


Fhe  First  Swc<lish  Baptist 
Church  of  Meriden,  Conn.,  under 
xvbich  name  it  became  incorporated 
December  2.  1889.  was  organized 
February  16.  1887,  with  nineteen 
members  who  had  withdrawn  by  let- 
from  the  Main  Street  Baptist 
Hurch,  of  Meriden.  Some  time  pre- 
^"  us  to  this  the  Swedish  people  of 
lii^  faith  were  banded  together  and 
Hid  business  meetings,  calling  them- 
>«lves  a  society  as  early  as  1886,  and 
>tv€ral  of  whom  came  to  this  citv 
"111  the  American  Baptist  Church  of 
New  Britain.  The  first  chairman  of 
the  society  was  Rev.  O-  Lindh,  now 
at  Cambridge.  Mass.*.  who  officiated 
It  die  organization  of  the  church. 

Ihe  young  i«>ciety  after  having 
maintained  a  Sundav  school  in  a 
^niall  halt  on  Britannia  street  near 
the  railroad  crossing,  and  having 


held  preaching  services  both  in  this 
hall  and  alternately  the  Main 
Street  Baptist  Church,  commenced 
building  the  present  edifice  at  the 
C  orner  of  I'ark  Avenue  and  Frank- 
lin street.  The  following  com- 
prised the  buildinj^  committee:  Os- 
car Peterson,  John  E.  Swenson, 
Bernard  Swenson,  (i.  Kjall,  Hans 
Hanson  and  Rev.  .\.  Rohnstrom, 
the  las!  named  being  then  pastor  of 
the  church.  The  corner  stone  of 
the  new  edifice  was  laid  with  appro- 
priate ceremonies  Ji  ly  6.  1S90,  and 
^reat  was  the  joy  in  the  hearts  of 
the  Swedish  Baptists  when  the 
church  was  formally  dedicated  Nov. 
21,  1890. 

The  church  has  been  a  growing 
institution  from  the  start,  and  dur- 
ing its  nineteen  years  of  usefulness 
297  have  heen  jjiven  the  right  hand 
of  fellowship,  thus  beccjming  mem- 
bers of  the  church.  The  member- 
ship of  the  church  at  the  present 
day  is  133.  During  its  existence 
there  has  been  paid  for  running 
expenses,  charity'  and  missions  near- 
ly $25,000.  The  church,  of  which 
an  illustration  is  shown,  together 
with  the  parsonage,  has  a  seating 
capacity  of  250.  and  is  valued  at 
$8,000,  and  tipon  which  there  is  no 
debt  The  church  corporation  has 
also  built  a  comfortable  parsona:4e 
fronting  on  Park  avenue,  at  a  cost 
of  $2,000,  but  upon  this  a  debt  of 
$1,500  still  remains. 

The  services  are  held  in  Swedish

ST.  ANDREW  S  CHURCH. 


The  lilpiscopal  parish  of  .Meriden 
had  its  origin  in  the  troubles  in- 
cident to  the  RevolutitMi.  Moses 
.\ndrews,  one  of  the  brothers  of  the 
famous  Parson  Andrews  of  W'al- 
lingford.  was  a  farmer  in  the  west- 
ern ])art  of  the  town.  W  hen  the 
war  broke  out,  in  common  with  the 
rest  of  the  Episcopalians,  he  became 
an  object  of  suspicion  to  the  ruling 
authorities.  Though  remarkable  for 
the  mildness  and  gentleness  of 
his  character,  he  was  placed  under 
heavy  bonds  and  forbidden  to  leave 
his  farm  under  any  pretense  what- 
ever, without  the  s|)ecial  permis- 
sion of  the  selectmen  of  the  town. 
To  Mr.  .Andrews  the  severest  part 
of  the  punishment  was  the  being 
forbidden  to  worshi|)  (iod  with  his 
brethren  on  the  Lord's  day  and  in 
the  Lord's  house.  He  therefore 
petitioned  for  permission  to  go  to 
church  on  Sundays  in  W'allingford. 
The  indulgetice  for  which  he  would 
have  been  thankful  was  refused.  In 
place  of  it  In-  was  graciously  given 
pernu'ssion  to  attend  the  Congrega- 
tional meeting  house  in  Meriden.  r>ut

he  determined  to  have  a  church  in 
his  own  house,  and  that  house  is 
now  standmj^  at  424  West  Main 
street.  Slal)s  and  hlocks  of  wood 
were  hrouj^ht  from  the  neiLrhhnrini::

twenty  in  all.  assend)led  to  unite  in 
the  worship  accordin**^  to  the  prayer 
book  and  listen  to  a  sermon  from 
s<»me  standard  author.  Xei^dibor 
Andrews  himself  was  the  lay- 
reader.  The  services  thus  humbly 
commenced  were  continued  almost 
a  (|uarter  of  a  century. 

The  organi7:ation  of  this  time 
honored  parish  of  the  Protestant 
Kl)iscopal  Church,  which  makes 
Meriden  somewhat  famous  church- 
wise,  dates  back  lo  t78<>.  and  ac-

late  Rev.  ( i.  H.  Deshon.  D.  T^.,  on 
April  13.  of  that  year,  a  preliminary 
moetinq:  was  held  duriiif^  the  pro- 
gress of  which  the  following  agree- 
ment was  signed:

and  agree  to  support  the  same.**

mgs  toward  the  formation  of  the 
society  were  the  first  steps  taken  by 
these  early  Episcopalians  in  Meri- 
den. 

At  a  followinj4  meetings  held  111 
Meriden.  December  28  of  the  same 
year  the  society  was  formally  orga- 
nized, at  w'hich  time  Moses  An- 
drews was  chosen  first  clerk,  and 
Denison  Andrews  and  Isaac  At- 
water.  the  society  committee.  Rev. 
Reuben  Ives  of  Cheshire,  who  in  the 
meantime  bad  served  as  iinsstonan* 
was  |)laced  in  charge  of  the  parish 
thus  formed  and  was  cn^jaged  as 
the  first  rector  by  the  following 
vote:  "that  we  will  hire  Mr.  Ives  to 
j)reach  four  days  for  this  year." 
**\'oted:  To  keep  up  meetings  for 
this  year.'*  This  vote  according  to 
Dr.  Deshon  was  to  have  the  ser- 
vice- of  a  clerjjyman  but  for  four 
.^unda\s  during  the  year,  the  balance 
of  the  time  to  cc^ntinue  the  lav  ser- 
vices  to  which  they  had  previously 
been  accustomed.  Mr.  Ives,  who 
remained  in  charge  of  the  parish  a5 
its  missionary  from  the  time  of  \t» 
organization  to  1824,  sometimes 
preached  as  often  as  six  Sundays  a 
year.  Although  for  several  years 
the  society  was  too  small  in  mem- 
bership and  too  poor  in  purse  x*^ 
even  think  of  building  a  church,  yet 
in  1795  they  proposed  *'to  erect  a

Congregational  Meeting  house),  "pro- 
vided the  Ian<l  can  he  ohtained," 
hut  it  was  not  until  iSoT)  that  they 
voted  **that  we  will  build  a  house 
for  j)uhlick  worship  on  ground  be- 
longing to  Joseph  Merriani."  This 
land  was  located  on  West  Main 
street,  directly  opposite  the  house  of 


SECOND     EPISCOPAL  EDIFICE. 

Almon  Andrews,  hut  a  month  later 
they  changed  their  minds,  and  de- 
cided to  build  the  church  elsewhere, 
**within  sixty  rods  of  the  meeting 
house  in  Meriden,"  which  they  after- 
wards <lid. 

The  raising  of  money  fur  the  first 
church  edifice  then  became  a  serious 
problem    and    among    the  various 


|:lans  suggested  was  one  to  m 
to  the  legislature  for  a  grant  4 
lottery,  a  method  of  raising 
as  fashionable  then  as  fairs  .i  1 
l)resent  day.  Another  was  to  "in 
a  house  the  doors  of  which  -h'j 
be  opened  to  the  Baptists  an«i  rV 
byterians  when  not  occupied  brl 
Episcopal  Society."  Both  of  tlr 
plans  were  almost  immediaa 
abandoned,  and  the  society  hiu 
decided,  and  with  laudable  in 
pendence.  to  build  a  church  by  leg 
imate  methods,  building  it  piece 
piece,  as  fast  only  as  they  could  p 
for  it.  First  they  raised  the  frai 
then  they  had  it  shingled,  later  tl 
were  enabled  to  have  it  plastefi 
and  finally  the  pews  and  furn.rt 
were  |)ut  in.  All  this  was  acca 
plished  after  ten  years  of  paties 
and  self-denial,  and  the  first  elii 
on  Broad  street  was  consecrated 
(rod  October  t8,  1816,  by  Wt^t

hilly  aware  of  his  successftd  pastor-

years.  He  was  known  as  a  rector 
of  "'genial  and  winning  manners,

inroads  of  the  resultant  blood-poi-

passed  to  his  reward.  The  growth 
of  the  parish  under  his  administra-

In  Jime  1880,  Rev.  Arthur  T. 
Randall,  just  ordained  deacon,  took 
up  his  duties  as  assistant  minister. 
He  held  that  position  until  the 
death  of  Dr.  Deshon,  when  he  took 
charge  of  the  parish.  The  combin- 
ed rectorships  of  these  two  clergy- 
men extend  over  a  period  of  fifty-six 
years.  The  parish  continued  to 
grow  until  in  1888  the  corner  stone 
of  a  parish  house  was  laid,  and  a 
few  months  later  was  completed  at 
a  cost  of  $16,000. 

In  December  1885  services  were 
started  in  a  dwelling  house  in  the 
western  part  of  the  city  with  a  view 
of  ultimately  forming  a  parish.  The 
generosity  of  Mrs.  Phoebe  A,  Hall- 
am,  widow  of  a  former  rector  of 
.^t.  Andrew's,  Dr.  Hallam.  made  this 
feasible,  as  in  her  will  was  found  a 
legacy  of  $io,ooo  to  be  used  for  the 
erection  of  a  new  church  in  Meri- 
den.  The  fir.st  service  was  held  in

"mission  church"  would  have  to  be 
abandoned,  the  sewing  society  still 
continued  to  meet  week  days ;  and  as 
a  result  a  considerable  sum  of  money 
was  laid  by. 

The  ultimate  aim  of  these  patient 
women  was  the  purchase  of  a  lot 
on  which  to  build  a  church  and  little 
by  little  the  fund  grew  in  spite  of 


many  discouragements,  lliat  their 
up-hill  work  was  bound  to  be  pro- 
ductive of  even  greater  results  than 
they  had  dared  to  hope  was  soon 
to  come  to  pass.    On  January,  30, 

1 89 1,  Mrs.  Phoebe  A.  Hallam,  a 
communicant  of  St  .Andrew's  church 
was  buried.  In  her  will  was  found 
a  legacy  of  $10,000  to  be  used  in 
the  building  of  a  church  as  a  memorial 
to  her  husband,  the  late  Rev.  R.  .A. 
Hallam,  D.  D.,  at  one  time  rector  of 
St.  .Andrews.  The  money  in  the  treas- 
ury of  the  sewing  society,  added  to 
considerably  by  the  members  of  St. 
Andrew's  church  soon  after  became 
sufficient  to  purchase  the  lot  on  the 
corner  of  West  Main  and  Morgan 
streets,  and  the  future  of  All  Saints* 
church  was  thus  determined. 

With  the  understanding  that  most 
of  his  work  was  to  be  in  the  western 
part  of  Meriden.  and  with  a  view  of 
becoming  rector  of  the  new  parish 
when  it  should  be  set  apart,  in  .May 

1892,  Rev.  A.  Sprague  .Ashley  accept- 
ed the  position  of  assistant  clergyman 
at  St.  .Andrew's  Church.  In  the  mean- 
time Mrs.  Ilallam's  legacy  was 
largely  added  to  by  the  late  Geo.  R. 
Curtis,  then  senior  warden  of  St.  .An- 
drew's Church,  so  that  the  present 
brownstone  structure  was  erected  in 

1893,  The  new  parish  was  then  form-

late  Rev.  Robert  Clarkson  Tongue, 
who  after  five  years  as  rector,  was 
called  to  his  reward  1»>  the  Almighty. 
His  death  was  nnich  lamented  for  it 
removed  from  Meriden  one  of  its  most 
valued  divines,  and  one  who  was  al- 
most idolized  by  his  parishioners.  Un- 
der Mr.  Tongue  the  membership  of 
the  church  was  iiicrease<l  largely  and 
its  work  was  noticeably  extended. 

Rev.  I.  Xewton  Phelps  took  charge 
of  the  parish  as  its  installed  rector  in 
April,  1905.  The  good  wortc  of  his 
predecessors  has  been  carried  on  by

his  offices,  and  where  the  congre-

the  preacher.  During  the  summer 
a  large  tent  was  pitched  in  what 
was  then  an  open  lot  between  High 
and  Broad  streets.

its  twentieth  anniversary  in  1905.  It

Meriden  decicled  to  petition  the  official 
board  of  the  First  M.  E.  Society,  for 
the  f>ennission  to  found  another 
Methodist  church  in  Meriden.  In 
May  the  same  year,  a  petition  was 
sent  in,  which  was  signed  by  five  of 
the  most  influential  men.  As  their 
request  was  g^ranted,  they  immediately 
iK'pan  holding  services  in  the  Y.  M.  C. 


decided  to  station  him  at  Meriden. 
In  April,  1889,  he  was  succeeded  by 
Rev.  D.  N.  Griffin  who  remained  until 
•April,  1892.  It  was  during  the  pasto-

cured the  property  at  the  corner  of 
West  Main  street  and  Cook  avenue, 
where  the  present  handsome  edifice

first  service  was  held  therein.  The 
Iniilding  is  now  used  for  St.  Joseph's 
I'arochial  school.  Rev.  \V.  F.  Mark-

early  in  the  fall  of  1885.  and  he  served

gage  notes  were  burned  and  the  church 
was  freed  from  a  heavy  debt.  Many 
members  have  been  received  into  the 
church  within  the  last  few  years,  and  it 
now  has  a  membership  of  about  375.  It 
has  a  thriving  Sunday  School  society,

ciety and  great  interest  is  shown  in 
all  of  the  various  societies  that  are 
connected  with  the  church  organiza- 
tion. 

The  probable  value  of  the  church 
building  is  $30,000  but  this  was  en- 
hance<l  in  1906  by  the  acquisition 
of  a  new  church  organ,  a  portion  of 
which  was  paid  for  by  Andrew 
Carnegie.  The  parsonage,  a  brick 
structure,  originally  built  and  occu- 
pied l)y  the  late  Randolph  Linsley,  is 


valued  at  $12,000.  During  1905,  the 
church  debt  was  reduced  $4,000. 
The  last  report  of  the  church  cor- 
poration to  the  Xcw  York  East 
Conference  of  which  it  is  a  member, 
gives  the  church  membership  a> 
300  with  67  on  probation,  but  this 
number  has  since  been  somewhat 
increased.  The  Sunday  school  num- 
bers twenty-seven  teachers  and  326 
scholars.

For  twenty  years  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church  has  been  the  only 
active  Protestant  church  in  the  pic- 
turesque village  of  South  Meriden, 
where  regular  services  have  been 
held.  This  church  was  organized  as 
a  society  in  185 1,  but  meetings  were

and  somewhat  irregularly  as  early 
as  1839.  They  first  gathered  there

them  in  the  house  of  Robert  Clark

and  at  intervals  of  about  every  three 
months,  Rev.  Father  Teevens  contin-

he  obtained  permission  from  the 
Bishop  of  Hartford  to  form  a  parish,

Rose's  chapel  on  Liberty  street  was 
completed.  Father  Mc.Menney's  re- 
moval from  the  city  was  much  deplor- 
ed by  his  people  by  whom  he  is  still 
affectionately  rememl)ercd.  St.  Rose's 
parish  since  Sei)tember  1900  has  been 
presided  over  by  the  present  rector, 
Rev.  John  Cooney.    The  property  of 


St.  Rose's  parish  in  1906  consists  of 
a  church  edifice,  rectory,  two  school 
houses,  St.  Bridget's  Convent,  St.  Pat- 
rick's Cemetery  and  the  Sacred  Heart 
Cemetery,  the  approximate  total  value 
of  all  being  $180,000. 

Although  from  this  parish  have 
sprung,  directly  or  otherwise,  all  the 
several  different  parishes  now  con- 
tained in  the  town  of  Meriden,  it  still 
possesses  3,200  individuals  and  main- 
tains an  attendance  at  the  parochial 
school  of  700  registered  children. 

Rev.  John  Cooney,  the  present  rec-

ap|){)intcd  curate  at  St.  Peter's  Church 
in  Hartfor<l.  where  he  remained  for 
two  and  a  half  years.  He  was  then

Patrick's  Church.  Thompsonville, 
Conn.,  where  under  his  direction  both 
a  parochial  school  and  a  rectory  were 
built.  In  1878  after  a  successful  pas-

THE  CHURCH  OF  OUR  LADY 
OF  MOUNT  CARMEL. 


This  house  of  worship  at  which 
the  ItaHan  residents  of  the  Roman 
Cathohc  faith  of  Meriden  receive 
their  spiritual  food  was  erected 
in  1894.  The  church,  which  is 
located  on  Goodwill  avenue,  on 
the  boarder  of  the  Italian  district  of 
Meriden,  is  shown  in  the  accom- 
panying illustration.  Before  the 
formation  of  the  present  parish  the 
Italians  of  Meridei)  attended  princi- 
pally the  St.  Laurent's  Church  on 
Camp  street,  but  to  that  church  their 
attendance  was  not  entirely  confin- 
ed. The  creation  of  the  parish  w^as 
a  source  of  much  spiritual  comfort 
to  the  sons  of  Italy  and  gradually 
it  has  grown  in  membership  until  at 
the  present  writing  it  numbers  ac- 
cording to  the  figures  of  the  present 
pastor,  about  2.200  souls.  The 
church  property  consists  in  1906  of 
the  church  edifice  only,  which  was 
dedicated  in  i8(>4  and  valued  at  $4,- 
500,  and  upon  which  $1,200  was  ex- 
pended in  1905-6  in  repairs  and 
imi)rovements.  The  parish  is  incor- 
porated under  the  laws  of  the  state 
and  the  lay  trustees  are  Leonordo 
Suzio  and  Pasquale  lannetti.  The 
Sunday  school  is  conducted  by  the 
Sisters  of  Mercy  from  St.  Bridget's 
Convent,  but  the  parochial  day 
school  is  yet  a  thing  of  the  future.

country  and  was  appointed  one  of 
:he  assistants  at  the  cathedral  at 
Albany,  N.  Y.,  and  during  his  two 
years'  service  there  he  looked  after 
the  spiritual  wants  of  the  Italians 
3f  the  capitol  city  of  the  Empire 
state. 


This  now  thriving  parish  of  the 
Roman  Catholic  church  was  orga- 
nized in  October,  1901,  and  is  an  off- 
spring of  St.  Rose's  parish,  having 
been  made  a  parish  by  itself  by 
Bishop  Tierney  of  Hartford.  The 
first  services  were  held  in  the  little 
chapel  on  W  est  Main,  near  the  cor- 
ner of  LJutler  street,  formerly  occu- 
pied by  the  Trinity  Methodist 
Church,  but  which  had  for  some 
time  been  used  as  a  chapel  of  case  by 
the  mother  parish.  Rev.  John  T. 
Lynch,  to  the  good  fortune  of  the 
parishioners,  was  made  first  pastor, 
and  under  his  leadership  it  has  thriv- 
ed and  prospered,  and  now  com- 
prises 2.700  souls.  The  territory  set 
off  for  St.  Joseph's  parish  comprised 
that  part  of  Meriden  west  of 
the  X.  Y.,  N.  H.,  &  H.  Railroad. 
Almost  immediately  after  the 
appointment  of  a  rector,  the  little 
chapel  where  services  were  first 
held  became  overtaxed,  and  |)lans 
were   fornnilated    for  a   new  church. 

Tlie  committee  appointed  for  that 
j.urpose  was  made  up  of  the  follow- 
ing: John  A.  Hurley,  Roger  Crough, 
W  illiam  Lewis.  Michael  Keating,

ration were  John  A,  Hurley  and  C.

tant date,  a  sum  somewhat  m  excess 
of  that  amount  will  have  represent- 
t'l  the  cost  of  the  fully  c<)mi)leted 
t<lifice. 

Since  the  new  church  became 
<^>ccupied.  the  little  chapel,  which  is 
also  owned  by  the  corporation,  was 
converted  into  a  parochial  school  of 
five  rooms,  where  studies  from  the 
^^^t.  to  the  sixth  j^rades  have  since 
l)ocn  taught  to  about  260  children  of 
^lit:  parish,  bv  five  Sisters  of  .\Iercv 


from  St.  Bridget's  convent.  Another 
ac(|uisition  of  the  new  parish  is  a  lot 
on  North  First  street  and  North 
Avenue,  which  comprises  a  most 
desirable  location  for  church  pur- 
poses. After  the  completion  of  St. 
Joseph's  church,  the  building  of  a 
rectory  will  be  be^un  and  this  will 
be  situated  in  the  rear  of  the  church 
in  the  comparatively  near  future.

of  the  evangelical  Lutheran  faith,  and 
an  attempt,  which  finally  proved  un* 
successful,  to  establish  a  permanent 
Swedish  society,  was  made  about  that 
time  under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Lud- 
w  'li;  Holmes. 

The  first  Swedes  began  to  arrive  in 
Meriden  about  1865  but  for  the  first 
ten  vears  their  numl>ers  were  few. 

About  1878  there  was  organized  a 
Swedish  branch  of  the  Y.  M.  C  A., 
which  for  a  time  conducted  Swedish 
services  in  the  homes  and  other  places. 
They  also  maintained  a  Swedish  cir* 
culating  library  of  fair  size.  These 
first  services  were  led  principally  by 
Dr.  Ludwig  Holmes,  of  Portland, 
Conn.,  pastor  of  the  Swedish  Lutheran 
chi:rch  there,  then  the  only  Swedish 
chr.rch  in  Connecticut.  Dr.  Holmes 
later  lived  in  the  west  for  a  number  of 
years  but  a  few  years  ago  returned  to 
the  church  in  Portland  over  which  he 
still  presides.  He  is  now  one  of  the 
foremost  ministers  in  the  Swedish 
Lutheran  church  of  the  United  States 
and  is  also  a  poet  of  some  note. 

It  was  not  until  the  Swedish  Luth- 
erans had  become  reinforced  by  sev- 
eral families  of  their  nationality  that 
the  present  permanent  organization 
became  effected.  Services  were  first 
held  in  St.  John's  Lutheran  church  and 
later  in  German  Immanual  Lutheran 
chtrrch,  Bethany  chapel  on  Britannia 
street  and  Y.  M.  C,  A.  hall.  The  nu- 
cleus of  the  present  organization  was 
formed  March  22,  1889. 

The  society  was  reorganized  Feb. 
rrary  18,  1890.  as  Swedish  Evangeli- 
cal Lutheran  Tmmanuel  congregation, 


and  the  present  church  really  dates  its 
history  from  that  day.  The  society 
became  incorporated  the  same  year. 

The  first  officers  were:  Deacons,  C. 
A.  Wickstrand,  Peter  Fohlin  and 
Ewald  Thoren ;  trustees,  Peter  FohUn, 
C,  A,  Wickstrand,  Ferdinaod  .Ander- 
son; secretary,  j.  Alfred  Sjoquist. 

Meriden  was  at  first  a  mission- 
ary field  and  preaching  services  at 
frequent  intervals  were  conauaed 
by  Rev.  O,  W.  Ferm,  then  of 
New  Britain,  but  now  in  Sioux  City, 
Iowa.  He  was  followed  bv  Rev.  C. 
J.  Uengtson,  of  Hartford,  now  of 
Rockland,  111.  Others  who  were  not 
ordained  clergymen  but  divinity  stu- 
dents, the  last  of  whom  was  Rev.  K. 
A.  Martin,  now  of  Schenectady,  N.  Y.. 
by  whom  money  sufficient  to  buy  a 
building  lot  was  raised,  followed  in 
conducting  preaching  services  and  un- 
til  1893,  when  Rev.  A.  F.  Wicklund, 
then  studying  for  the  ministry,  but 
now  an  ordained  clergyman  in  Swe- 
den, became  the  first  resident  pastor. 

Lender  his  leadership  money  was 
subscribed  with  which  to  bei^in  the 
construction  of  the  church  edifice  on 
the  lot  previously  purchased  at  the  cor- 
ner of  Center  and  Miller  streets,  where 
now  stands  the  handsome  church  edi* 
fice.  The  building  committee  was  com- 
posed of  the  following : 

John  Anderson,  John  Wcssman, 
Otto  E.  Helin,  Peter  Anderson.  Gus- 
taf  Swenson,  Ferdinand  Anderson. 

Although  Mr.  Wicklund  succeetW

He  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  O.  J.  An-

the  pastorate,  remaining  for  a  per- 
iod of  five  years.  Much  to  the  regret 
of  the  people  here  he  finally  accepted 
an  urgent  call  to  locate  in  Englund, 
Minn.,  but  he  afterwards  returned  to 
Connecticut  and  is  now  located  in  An- 
son ia. 


Rev.  David  Fridlund,  the  prescni 
pastor,  became  Mr.  Andrews"  suc- 
cessor in  1904.  The  growth  of  the 
church  in  membership  has  been  sonit- 
what  notable.  From  the  time  when 
the  society  became  under  its  present 
penuanent  organization  it  had  butj 
thirty-three  members,  which  has  sincci 
been  increased  to  alwut  300  at  th*'

school  of  100,  and  during  the  summer

young  people's  society.  The  former, 
of  which  Mrs.  C.  G.  Anderson  is

February  13,  1853,  by  twenty-five 
members  who  were  dismissed  from 
the  Meriden  Congregational  Church 
by  letter  with  that  object  in  view. 
Before  this,  however,  the  church 
had  been  erected  through  the  efforts 
of  Walter  Webb,  Deacon  N.  C. 
Sanford,  Ezckiel  Hall,  Reuben  Wa- 
terman, L.  Griswold  and  others. 
This  church  is  of  the  typical  Con- 
.;'rt'gational  style  of  architecture 
and  comprises  a  wooden  buildinij  of 
several  huntlred  sittings.  The  first 
l>ustor  was  Rev.  James  A.  Clark,  who 
served  from  1853-55.  He  was  fol- 
lowed by  Rev.  Jacob  ICaton,  who  was 
installed  May  18,  1857  and  continued 
until  the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil 
War,  in  1861,  when  he  left  for  the 
front  as  chaplain  of  the  7th  Conn. 
\'ols.  During  his  pastorate  an  im- 
;'urtant  revival  was  held  in  the  church 
which  resulted  in  the  acqnisition  of 
tliirty>two  new  members,.  Following 
his  pastorate  for  several  years,  and 
until  1870,  the  church  had  no  regular 


pastor  but  in  that  year  J.  Howe  Voice 
was  installed  and  afterwards  served 
as  pastor  until  April  3,  1873.  At  that 
time  the  New  Haven  East  Associa- 
tion supplied  the  pulpit  with  acting 
pastors  until  the  regular  preaching 
services  were  finally  discontinued.  The 
last  three  acting  pastors  were  E.  B. 
Crane,  1876-7,  M.  C.  Wood,  1880, 
and  J.  G.  Griswold,  1882.  Elias  San- 
ford and  B.  C.  Eastman  were  the 
last  deacons  and  Daniel  H.  Willard 
was  the  treasurer  and  superintendent 
of  the  last  Sunday  school.  The 
church  property  is  still  kept  in  ex- 
cellent condition,  and  although  there 
is  no  immediate  prospect  of  suffi- 
ciently congregations  to  war- 
rant i^m.lar  services  being  held 
there,  it  is  not  at  all  improbable  that 
the  growth  of  the  town  may  warrant 
such  services  at  some  time  in  the 
future,  when  this  tinr  cluuch  proper-  *

caused  its  erection.

the  voters  of  the  town  at  large  elected 
a  board  of  school  visitors  who  ap- 
proved of  the  (|i!alilications  of  teach- 
ers and  of  the  character  of  the  school 
houses  and  text  hooks. 

The  board  of  school  visitors  thmir^h

duties  of  a  superhitendent.  visiting  the 
schools,  making  recommendations  to 
the  district  committees,  and  passing 
judgment  on  the  work  of  the  teachers. 

The  recommendations  of  the  acting 
school  visitors  often  had  great  weight 
with  the  district  committees,  especially 
when  accompanied  by  a  threat  to 
withhold  public  money.  In  several

nfrequently,  leaving  nearly  everything 
o  the  acting  visitor.  Indeed,  their 
K)\ver  was  so  limited  that  there  was 
ittle  occasion  to  meet.  The  district 
:ommittees  had  real  control. 

The  next  logical  step  in  perfecting 
he  administrative  system  was  to  do 
iway  with  the  division  of  authority

comniittee  of  twelve  men.  They 
chose  an  executive  officer  with  the  title 
of  superintendent  who  was  entrusted 
with  the  expert  supervision  of  the 
schools.  Though  the  vote  to  consol- 
idate was  carried  by  the  slender  ma-

more  clearly  seen.

The  consolidation  of  the  districts 
was  agitated  as  early  as  1863.  At  a 
special  town  meeting  that  year  it  was 

"I'otcd,  That  the  Board  of  School 
\'isitors  be  instructed  to  mature  a  plan 
for  the  reorganization  of  the  public

The  recommendations  of  the  ** 
tors'*  were  rejected,  but  six  years  1 
the  board  of  visitors  at  that  tiinc 
ported  that,  "the  district  system  a?  it

The  board  of  visitors  performed  the 
duty  and  reported  "That  they  as- 
sumed this  task  with  pleasure,  fully 
aware  that  the  time  had  come  when 
something  must  be  done  to  render  the

cites  the  fact  that  every  year  other

In  April,  1877,  a  proposition  to  con- 
•oMdate  the  six  central  districts,  which 
A-ere  practically  within  the  city  limits, 
was  defeated. 

In  1896,  after  more  than  thirty  years 
of  waiting,  the  town  voted  by  the 
slender  majority  of  five  to  consolidate. 

The  first  town  school  comniittee  was

notwithstanding  the  employment  of  a

There  seems  to  l)e  no  trace  of  the 
Corner  district  until  1830  when  its 
first  schoollunise  stood  on  the  corner 
of  East  Main  and  State  streets.  It  is 
spoken  of  as  beings  "surrounded  by  a 
swamp,"  and  "nesthng  among  the  wil- 
lows," by  elderly  people  who  attended 
it.  In  1836  it  was  removed  to  a  Iwo- 
story  building  on  the  north  side  of 
Church  street,  near  the  southeast  cor- 
ner of  the  present  Church  street  school 


it  still  stands  near  Orange  street,  and 
is  now  used  as  a  dwelling.  In  1864  the 
Corner  District  school  had  enrolle«i 
275  pupils,  with  three  teachers,  and  an 
old  report  has  this  to  say  of  the  insti- 
tution :  "This  is  the  only  thoroughly 
graded  school  in  the  town  which  re- 
ceives children  in  the  elements,  and 
takes  them  through  the  successive 
stages  of  the  common  and  higher  Eng- 
lish branches  and  also  enables  them  to

grounds.  In  1853  this  building  was 
purchased  by  Xoah  Linslcy  and  made 
into  a  dwelling.  II.  D.  Snu"th  and 
David  X.  Camp  kept  a  high  and  select 
school  from  1847  to  1853  in  a  buildint^ 
erected  by  the  former.  The  Meriden 
Institute,  as  it  was  known,  was  boi'gI:t 
by  the  district  and  enlarged  and  uscu 
until  a  brick  building  was  put  up  in 
front  of  it  in  1868.  The  "Institute" 
was  then  moved  to  King  street,  where 


avail  thcm.sclves  of  the  facilities  of  a 
classical  education."  The  rcgistrati'Vi 
for  1905  for  this  schcwl,  which  since 
1897  has  been  entered  in  town  repori> 
as  the  Church  street  school,  was  570. 
under  a  male  principal  and  fourteen 
assistant  teachers. 

The  W  illow  and  King  street  schools 
were  built  as  annexes  of  the  Comer

working  in  the  primary  grades.  In 
the  King  street  school  there  are  326 
pupils  with  eight  rooms  and  seven 
grades. 

Lewis  avenue  school,  an  eight- 
room  building,  was  erected  by  the  Cor- 
ner district  in  1893  at  a  cost  of  $10.- 
333.44.  The  rcKims  are  larger  than 
those  in  the  older  schools,  the  black- 
boards put  in  are  of  solid  slate,  and  the 


elers  on  foot  or  horseback.  The  dis- 
trict was  first  known  as  the  Xorthwcst, 
and  the  change  to  Old  Road  was  made 
in  honor  of  the  historic  thoroughfare 
which  ])asscd  through  it.  The  first 
schoolhouse  stood  on  the  corner  of 
Hicks  and  Colony  streets,  where  the 
second  was  built  in  1843.  The  first 
schoolhouse  was  moved  and  made  into 
a  dwelling  on  Britannia  street — it  is

ing the  first  year  three  rooms  in  the 
building  were  rented  by  the  West  dis- 
trict and  one  was  occupied  by  the  Cor- 
ner district.  In  1905  it  had  284  pu- 
pils and  eight  teachers. 

The  Old  Road  district  took  its  name 
from  the  fact  that  the  old  colonial  road 
from  Hartford  to  Xew  Haven  lay 
through  its  land.  Originally  the  road 
was  nothing  but  a  bridle  path  for  trav- 


ent  in  use  by  the  Firearms  C(j.  The 
new  sch()»)lhouse  was  built  a  few  rods 
east  of  the  old  location,  in  1875,  at  a 
cost  of  $15,000.  In  1864  there  were 
,»;ixty-five  pupils  enrolled,  with  two 
teachers:  in  1905,  there  were  375.  with 
a  male  principal  and  nine  teachers.  In 
the  report  of  184^7  this  school  was  first 
called  the  Xorth  Colony  school.

road, and  its  first  schoolhouse  was 
probably  not  erected  until  1853.  In 
1868  this  was  enlarged  and  made  into 
a  two-story  building.  In  1875  a  new 
building  was  put  up  on  the  south  and 
this  was  enlarged  in  1885.  In  Mr. 
Pettee's  report  of  1890  he  says  of  the 
district:  "But  the  school  buildings  of

strong  corps  of  eight  teachers  from  the 
day  schools  in  1905  and  1906  proved

Church  street  school. 

On  Aug.  17,  1848,  through  the  ef- 
forts of  General  Walter  Booth,  Sam- 
uel Yale  and  Rev.  John  Parker,  the 
"Meriden  Academical  Association" 
was  formed,  and  on  the  23d  the  "Ar- 
ticles of  Agreement*'  were  deposited 
with  the  secretary  of  state,  thus  giving 
the  organization  a  legal  standing. 
Eighty  shares  at  $25  each,  taken  by 
over  fifty  subscribers,  provided  the 
$2,000  necessary  to  buy  and  put  in 
order  the  old  Baptist  church,  then 
standing  on  the  northeast,  corner  of 
the  Broad  street  burying  ground. 

The  stockholders  never  received  any 
cash  dividends,  were  once  assessed 
se\'enty'five  cents  a  share,  and  several 
times  took  collections  at  the  annual 
stockholders'  meetings  to  make  up 
small  deficits.  The  rent  charged  the 
teacher  varied  from  nothing  to  $25  a 
quarter.  There  was  a  fairly  good 'in- 
come from  rentals  of  the  basement  for 
business  purposes,  and  the  hall  for 
traveling  shows  like  "Tom  Thumb" 
and  the  "Indian  Exhibition"  in  1849 ; 
for  party  caucuses,  religious  meetings 
of  Millerites  and  Universalists,  lodge 
meetings  of  the  Odd  Fellows,  singing 
schools  and  other  events.  The  Lv- 
ceum  had  free  use  provided  it  fur- 
nished the  oil  which  was  then  $1.12  a 
gallon. 

The  first  oflicers  were  as  follows: 
^muel  Yale,  president ;  D.  R.  Wright, 
secretary ;  Russell  Coe,  treasurer ;  Gen- 
eral Walter  Booth,  Rev.  Harvey  Mil- 
ler, Rev.  A.  A.  Stevens,  Rev.  John 
Parker  and  Linus  Birdsey,  trustees. 


Most  of  these  men  served  throughout 
the  life  of  the  Academy.  Linus  Bird- 
sey was  always  in  charge  of  the  rent- 
als and  repairs. 

The  trustees  engaged  a  man  teacher 
each  year  who  got  what  he  could  by 
charging  tuition.  He  had  little  or  no 
apparatus  to  work  with,  and  only  such 
books  as  he  might  own  himself.  Some 
of  the  teachers  were  M.  B.  Moore 
('49),  James  Atkins  ('53),  Mr.  Ross 
C57f  '58)»  Mr.  Wilder  ('61),  Mr. 
Jewett  ('62),  Miss  Landfear  ('64-'69). 

In  1869,  after  twenty-one  years'  ex- 
istence, the  building  was  sold,  the 
school  being  no  longer  able  to  live  in 
competition  with  the  new  Center 
school.  It  was  moved  to  Twiss  street 
where  it  is  now  used  as  a  dwelling. 

The  school  of  Mrs.  A.  S.  Booth, 
conducted  at  the  lower  end  of  Olive 
street,  belongs  to  a  later  period.  In 
the  year  1894,  11 1  pupils  came  under 
her  instruction.  She  still  teaches 
many  private  pupils. 

In  1879,  through  the  efforts  of 
prominent  Germans  who  wished  that 
their  language  might  become  a  part 
of  the  education  of  their  children,  the 
German-American  School  Association 
was  formed.  Some  of  the  incorporat- 
ors were:  August  Schmelzer,  August 
and  Henry  Hirschfeld,  Charles  Heine- 
mann,  Albert  P^tzer  and  Peter  Maeur- 
er.  The  school  was  organized  by  Mr, 
and  Mrs.  Henry  A.  Roeth,  and  con- 
ducted by  them  in  a  substantial  brick 
building  until  the  school  was  discon- 
tinued in  1903.  In  that  year  the  town 
purchased  the  building,  and  has  since 
used  it  for  the  Central  Grammar

school.  The  school  was  very  success- 
ful and  generally  had  from  sixty  to 
100  pupils. 

Although  a  few  children  are  pri- 
vately instructed  at  the  present  time, 
there  is  no  private  school  of  any  con- 
siderable size. 

Church  schools  have  been  a  prom- 
inent feature  in  the  educational  life  of 
Meriden  from  a  very  early  date.  Of 
the  five  Catholic  schools  St.  Rosens  is 
the  oldest.  It  was  started  in  1855  in 
the  basement  of  the  church  at  the  cor- 
ner of  Broad  and  Olive  streets.  In 
i860  it  was  removed  to  the  basement 
of  the  present  church,  and  in  1872  the 
school  occupied  a  wooden  building, 
first  on  Liberty  street,  which  was 
moved  to  the  rear  of  the  present  build- 
ing. As  the  parish  grew  a  beautiful 
brick  building  was  erected  on  the 
church  property  on  Center  street  in 
1874.  The  sisters  came  to  Meriden 
in  1872,  previous  to  which  the  teach- 
ing was  conducted  by  lay  workers. 

In  1904  the  growth  of  this  denomi- 
nation necessitated  the  building  of  an- 
other church,  when  St.  Joseph's  was 
erected  and  a  school  connected  was 
opened  in  the  brick  building  on  West 
Main  street,  between  Butler  and  South 
Grove,  formerly  used  as  a  chapel.  In- 
struction which  covers  the  first  six 
years  of  school  life  is  now  given  in 
five  rooms  of  St.  Joseph's  school  by 
Sisters  of  Mercy  from  the  Convent  of 
St.  Bridget,  on  Center  street.  About 
260  pupils  arc  enrolled.  Many  of 
these  pursue  their  studies  in  the  gram- 
n^ar  grades  at  the  St.  Rose's  school. 

St.  Lar  rent's,  the  French  Catholic 


church,  opened  a  school  prior  to  1893. 
In  1894  it  had  an  enrollment  of  300. 
At  the  present  time  the  St.  Laurent's 
church  has  a  beautiful  two-story  brick 
schoolhouse.  The  school  was  origi* 
nally  conducted  in  the  basement  ot 
the  church,  but  in  1903  a  handsome 
six-room  brick  school  building  was 
erected  in  the  rear  of  the  church.  Since 
1893  the  teaching  has  been  done  by 
Sisters  of  the  Assumption,  of  Xicolet, 
P.  Q.,  of  whom  eight  are  now  em- 
ployed. The  number  of  pupils  en- 
rolled is  309.  French  grammar  an«1 
Christian  doctrine  are  included  in  the 
studies  taught.  The  principal  is  the 
pastor  of  the  church.  Rev.  A.  van 
Oppen. 

St.  John's  Evangelical  Lutheran 
church  in  June,  1886,  through  the  in- 
defatigable efforts  of  the  Rev.  A. 
Krafft,  established  a  regular  day 
school.  Its  first  teacher  was  A. 
Miller,  who  temporarily  took  charge  in 
the  fall  of  1886.  A  year  later,  C. 
A.  Burgdorf,  the  present  principal,  was 
engaged.  From  twenty-seven  pupib 
enrolled  in  1886  the  attendance  has 
steadily  encreased  until  at  the  present 
time  almost  200  scholars  are  regis* 
tered.  There  are  now.  besides  the 
principal,  three  teachers.  Miss  M.  Xa> 
gel  and  Rev.  S.  F.  Glaser,  who  teaches 
geography  and  religion.  The  schivtl 
occupies  the  lower  story  of  the  church 
edifice. 

St.  Mary's  German  Catholic  school 
was  opened  in  September,  1894.  with 
Professor  Keller  as  its  first  teacher: 
he  was  succeeded  in  the  following  year 
by  August  Saleski.     In  September.

linety  scholars,  the  teacher  being  A.

rear  in  September,  1905,  owing  to  the 
:rowded  condition  of  the  school,  it  was 
accessary  to  open  two  rooms  instead  of 
one.  John  Nowak  was  .appointed 
teacher  of  the  Polish  branches,  suc-

HIGHER  EDUCATION. 

Though  the  need  of  a  central  High 
school  was  urged  many  years  in  vain, 
higher  education  was  provided  in 
various  ways.  The  Meriden  Institute 
previously  referred  to  flourished  as 
tarly  as  1847.  The  report  of  1864 
nentkms  an  academy  as  among  the 
Rourishing  private  schools,  meaning 
the  Meriden  Academy  on  Broad  street. 
!rhe  erection  of  the  large  brick  school 

tuses  of  the  Corner  and  Central  dis- 
cts  in  1868  and  1869  gave  an  impe- 
tus to  the  higher  education,  which  had 
jilready  been  carried  on  to  a  limited 
extent  in  the  smaller  district  schools, 
md  virtually  closed  the  .Academy. 


In  1868  and  1869  a  regular  high 
school  department  was  organized  un- 
der the  direction  of  A.  B.  Mather 
at  the  Corner  school,  while  Rev.  J.  T. 
Pettee  taught  the  senior  department 
of  the  South  Center  school,  which  was 
a  twcHroom  building.  In  Mr.  Pettee*s 
room  the  pupils  ranged  from  young 
men  and  women  who  were  instructed 
in  Latin  and  Greek,  down  to  little  chil- 
dren in  primary  geography.  In  that 
year  each  of  the  four  largest  districts 
employed  college  graduates  as  princi- 
pals in  order  to  teach  the  High  school 
branches. 

The  visitors  of  that  year  strongly 
urged  the  establishment  of  a  central 
High  school.  It  seems  that  years  be^ 
fore,  after  furniture  had  been  pur- 
chased to  open  a  town  High  school, 
the  vote  by  which  it  had  been  estab- 
lished was  rescinded  on  account  of  the 
expense.  The  visitor  in  1869  main- 
tained that  the  town  would  save 
money  by  having  a  central  High 
school  with  one  college  man  at  the 
head,  instead  of  having  four  district 
high  schools  which  required  as  many 
high-priced  principals. 

The  school  visitor  in  the  report  for 
1880  gives  a  full  account  of  the  high 
school  instruction  given  at  the  Corner 
and  Center  schools,  and  states  that  pu- 
pils flocked  to  these  schools  from 
other  districts  in  order  to  get  the 
higher  branches.  Still  the  number 
was-  small  in  comparison  with  the  total 
population. .  The  graduation  exercises 
of  the  Center  school  must  have  been

have  done  credit  to  the  graduates  oi 
Vassar  College. 

On  the  i2th  of  April,  1881,  the  long 
and  weary  fight  for  a  town  High 
school  came  to  an  end,  and  the  town 
voted  $3,000  with  which  to  start  a 
Central  school  of  not  over  two  rooms 
The  promoters  probably  won  the  day 
by  omitting  the  objectionable  word 
"High."  The  second  floor  of  the  new 
German-American  school  on  Liberty 
street  was  leased,  and  under  the  prin- 
cipalship  of  Henry  S.  Pratt,  the 
school  began.  A  committee  consist- 
ing of  Dr.  C.  H.  S.  Davis»  Dr.  J.  H. 
Chapin  and  Saxton  B.  Little,  ex- 
amined the  applicants  for  admission  at 
the  Corner  school  on  June  30  and  July 
I,  1881.  Of  the  seventy-three  appli- 
cants fifty-four  passed  and  fifty-one 
entered  the  school  in  September. 
Thereafter  the  higher  studies  were  ex- 
cluded from  the  district  sch(K>ls.  In 
the  following  year  by  vote  of  the  joint 
board  of  selectmen  and  school  visitors 
the  name  was  changed  from  the  Xew 
Central  school  to  the  Meriden  High 
school,  and  thereafter  as  long  as  the 
town  remained  under  the  district  sys- 
tem, the  town  annually  elected  a  spe^ 
cial  comniittee  of  five  members  to  take 
charge  of  this  school.  On  the  15th  of 
June,  1883,  the  first  class  graduated 
with  thirteen  members.  A  total  of  609 
persons  have  graduated  from  the 
school. 

At  the  annual  town  meeting  in  Oc- 
tober. 1883,  it  was  voted  to  appro- 
priate $50,000  to  procure  a  site  and 
erect  a  suitable  building  for  the  High 
school ;  the  sum  was  later  increased  to 


$80,000.  The  lot,  on  the  comer  of 
Catlin  and  Liberty  streets,  was  pur- 
chased at  a  cost  of  $19,500.  Wofk 
was  begun  upon  the  building  in  1884, ; 
and  in  December,  1885,  it  was  for* 
mally  opened.     There   have  been 
three  principals:  Henry  S.  Pratt  was 
placed  in  charge  of  the  High  school 
when  it  was  opened  in  1881.  In 
he  was  succeeded  by  Simeon  T.  Frost 
who  taught  until  1900,  when  he  re- 
signed, and  the  position  was  given 
his  assistant,  Willis  J.  Prouty,  the 
present  principal. 

The  dedication  of  the  High  school 
building  was  a  notable  event,  the  ora- 
tor for  the  occasion  being  United 
States  Senator  O.  H.  Piatt.  The 
building  was  thronged  by  citizens  at 
every  public  occasion.  There  were 
prize  speaking  contests  and  public  ex- 
hibitions by  the  pupils  which  w^rc  the 
social  functions  of  the  season.  Every 
existing  report  of  the  school  visitors 
speaks  in  affectionate  terms  of  the 
school,  and  recounts  the  liberal  gifts  of; 
every  sort  from  citizens  who  belic^*ed 
in  its  educational  mission.  Isaac  Cl 
Lewis  founded  the  library  with  a  gift  j 
of  $1,000,  and  Walter  Hubbard.  a| 
few  years  later,  contributed  another  1 
$1,000.  Dr.  J.  H.  Chapin's  gifts  oil 
cabinets  of  minerals  and  other  articlL>| 
were  probably  of  equal  value.  Hor-, 
ace  C.  Wilcox  equipped  the  laboratotT| 
for  the  study  of  chemistry,  botany  aihlj 
physics  at  an  expense  of  over  $i.ooa!

allowed  the  receipts  for  tuition  to  be 
exj  t'lidcd  for  the  library,  which  is  al- 
ready one  of  the  best  High  school  li- 
braries in  the  state  and  has  over 
4.200  volumes.  There  are  how  287 
pupils,  two  male  and  eleven  female 
teachers  in  the  school. 

EDUCATIONAL  PROGRESS. 

A  great  step  was  taken  when,  in 
1863,  the  schools  were  made  free.  In 
that  year  but  fifty-seven  per  cent,  of 
the  children  enumerated  were  regis- 
tered in  the  schools,  and  but  sixty-six 
per  cent,  of  those  registered  attended. 
In  1869  the  irregularity  of  attendance 
was  said  to  be  the  most  prominent  evil 
in  the  schools,  and  the  apathy  of  the 
parents  was  especially  censured.  But 
as  more  money  was  expended  upon 
the  school  buildings  and  good  teach- 
ers, the  public  schools  were  better  at- 
tended. In  1867  but  sixty-five  per 
cent,  of  the  registration  attended 
schools,  while  in  1874  the  percentage 
rose  to  eighty-three  and  one-half.  For 
many  years  the  pupils  in  the  upper 
grades  would  drop  out  of  school  as 
the  year  drew  to  a  close.  The  enact- 
ment of  the  compulsory  education  law 
in  1877  greatly  improved  the  condi- 
tions. An  annual  inspection  of  the 
factories  used  to  be  made,  and  from 
thirty  to  fifty  children  were  made  to 
attend  school  as  a  result.  At  first  the 
duties  of  the  truant  officer  was  to 
bring  runaways  back  to  school.  Now 
he  enforces  the  law  against  negligent 
parents.  Truancy  has  been  so  sharply 
looked  after  for  many  years  that  it  is 
practically  impossible  for  a  child  to 


grow  up  in  ignorance  at  this  time. 

The  general  progress  of  the  coun- 
try has  been  reflected  in  the  progress 
of  our  schools.  The  reports  of  Dr. 
Davis  and  Dr.  Chapin  indicate  the 
spirit  of  the  times.  Dr.  Davis  was  es- 
pecially progressive  in  temperament, 
and  had  he  been  able  to  secure  the 
adoption  of  his  measures  the  name  of 
Meriden  would  have  been  conspicuous 
throughout  New  Enylaiul.  at  least,  for 
her  good  schools.  Dr.  Chapin  was 
more  conservative  though  he  was 
never  provincial.  He  visited  the  best 
schools  of  the  day  and  brought  the 
comparisons  home  to  the  teachers  of 
Meriden. 

The  growth  from  isolated  school* 
with  short  terms  and  untrained  teach- 
ers to  a  system  of  schools  unified  ;n 
*  aim  and  eflfort,  and  crowned  by  a  good 
High  school  was  gradual,  and  was  ac- 
complished with  much  patient  eiTort.

societies  of  the  college,  and  later 
post  graduate  pedagogical  courses 
at  Yale  College  and  the  summer 
school  at  Martha's  X'inevard.  While

S.  WATSON  WARDEN. 


S.  Watson  Warden,  principal  of 
the  North  Colony  School  is  a  native 
of  Virginia.  He  was  born  Septem- 
ber 7,  i860,  near  Charleston,  West 
Virginia,  which,  at  the  time  of  his 
birth,  had  not  been  set  apart  from 
its  mother  state. 

He  is  a  son  of  a  Methodist  clergy- 
man, and  in  his  boyhood  lived  in 
diflFerent  parts  of  that  commonwealth. 
He,  therefore,  gained  an  extensive 
acquaintance  in  his  native  state 
which  he  values  highly.  He  was 
brought  up  to  fully  value  educa- 
tion, and  after  obtaining  a  common 
and  normal  school  training  began 
his  college  life  in  the  Ohio  Wesley- 
an  I'nivcrsity.  hut  afterwards  en- 
tered the  b'uiversitv  of  West  Vir- 


ginia from  which  he  graduated 
1886.    He  was  enabled  to  recdi 
his  full  college  course  by  teacl 
school  at  intervals,  thereby  pay 
his  own  way. 

After  the  graduation  from

and  knowledge  to  become

The  increase  in  attendance,  at  this

ear  has  been  somewhat  remarkable 
nd  has  resulted  in  more  than  tax- 
ig  the  building  of  eight  rooms  to 
s  fullest  capacity. 
The  recent  growth  in  attendance 
•  caused  by  the  acquisition  of  new 
lanufacturing  industries  in  that 
ection  of  the  town,  resulting  in  the 
rri\  al  in  Meriden  of  a  large  number 
f  new  families,  whose  children  are

JERE  DEWEY  EGGLESTON. 


Among  her  pln^iri^ms  Meriden  pos- 
sesses none  more  csieenied  by  his  pa- 
tients and  friends  than  Jere  Dewey 
Eggleston,  M.  D. 

He  was  born  in  Longnicadow. 
Mass.,  October  28,  1853.  his  parents 
being  Jere  D.  and  Louisa  {  L  arew) 
Eggleston  and  he  is  descended  of  a 
long  Hne  of  Xew  luigland  ancestry, 
and  in  the  seventh  generation  tn»ni 
Bigat  Eggleston  who  was  born 
in  1590  and  came  from  Exeter, 
England  to  Dorchester.  Mass..  in 
1630.  He  was  a  freeman  in  H'^i,  was 
an  origitial  member  of  Mr,  \\  arham's 
church  and  with  it  moved  to  Wind- 
sor. Conn.,  in  1635.  becoming  one  of 
the  first  citizens  of  that  historic  place. 
He  died  in  September.  1674.  and  his 
wife,  Mary,  preceded  him  December 
.S,  1657.  F'rom  his  tir.st  American  zv.- 
cestor,  Dr.  Egglcston's  lineage  is  as 
follows:  James.  Xathaniel,  Eben,  Eli, 
and  Jere  D.  Eggleston. 

Dr.  Eggleston  is  essentially  a  self- 
made  man  in  the  very  best  interpreta- 
tion of  that  term.  His  father's  death, 
while  he  was  yet  an  infant,  followed 
not  many  years  afterwards  by  that  of 
his  mother,  threw  the  boy  upon  his 
own  resources  and  developed  in  him 
those  qualities  which  have  united  to 


make  his  career  eminently  sncce>stul. 

He  began  to  be  self-supporting  it 
the  age  of  thirteen,  and.  fir?t  by 
working  on  a  farm  and  afterwards  b^'! 
teaching  school,  he  prepared  the  wi^'^ 
for  the  education  which  he  had  ear";., 
determined  should  be  his.  He  gn& 
uated  from  Williams  College,  and  later 
from  the  College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons  in  New  York  City. 

He  began  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession in  Windsor  Locks,  Conn., 
in  about  1880  he  removed  to  Meridc?! 
which  has  been  his  home  ever  since. 
Tt  was  not  long  after  his  coming  t'3 
Meriden  that  he  Ix^gan  to  be  known  ai 
one  of  the  leading  young  physiciani 
of  the  city.  He  threw  himself  hc-ii 
and  soul  into  the  practice  of  his  cho^^ 
profession,  and  his  marked  abilities] 
united  with  a  pleasing  address  an>i 
genial  personality,  soon  won  tor  bid 
a  firm  place  in  the  opinion  of  all. 
has  kept  abreast  of  the  times  in  a3 
his  works,  and  his  opinions  on  al 
subjects  connected  with  his  professioi 
are  eagerly  sought,  not  only  by  hi 
patients,  but  by  his  fellow  practitiooj 
ers  as  well. 

Dr.  Eggleston 's  many  professioiwi 
calls  have  not  kept  him  from  ^t^tj 
calls  and  pleasures,  political  and  ^ 
cial.  His  home  is  often  thrown  opfl 
for  enjoyable  events  in  the  social  liij

JOSEPH  A.  COOKE. 

Meriden  is  peculiarly  fortunate  in 
the  pos.session  of  skillful  practitioners 


of  the  medical  profession,  one  of  the 
ablest  of  which  is  Dr.  Joseph  A.

uated from  the  medical  department 
of  Yale  University  in  1897.  After

cessful  practice  in  Meriden  for  six 
years. 

He  was  appointed  a  member  of  the 
hospital  staff  in  1901  and  has  proven 
himself  one  of  the  most  enthusiastic 
workers  in  the  cause  of  science  and 
humanity  at  that  excellent  institution. 
Like  many  other  physicians  and  sur- 
geons of  the  town,  he  is  possessed  of 
admirable  judgment,  a  quality  which 
must  be  inborn  and  his  capacity  for 
work  is  somewhat  remarkable.  He 
has  a  particularly  large  office  practice 
and  usually  several  hospital  cases.  He 
is  a  general  favorite  in  the  commun-

holds  that  office  at  the  present  time. 
He  is  a  man  with  an  almost  unlimited 
capacity  for  work,  and  never  shirks  a 
duty  he  is  called  upon  to  assume  either 
in  business  or  social  life.  His  success 
in  business  life  may  be  largely  at- 
tributed to  the  fact  that  he  has  found 
pleasure  in  the  faithful  performance 
of  every  duty.

life  was  spent  upon  his  father's 
farm.  He  afterwards  for  a  time 
taught  a  village  school  winters.  He 
learned  the  drug  business,  which  he 
made  his  life's  calling,  at  Bingham- 
ton.  N.  Y..  where  he  also  enlisted 
in  the  Civil  War  in  the  Kighth  X.  Y.

)ut  of  this  life. 

His  strict  integrity  and  reliability 
IS  a  merchant  soon  won  the  con- 
idence  of  the  buying  public  at  the 
renter,  and  his  enterprise  in  putting 
n  one  of  the  first  soda  fountains  in 
Meriden  made  him  somewhat  cele- 
brated. His  progressiveness  as  a 
merchant  was  also  demonstrated  in 
rarious  ways.  In  February,  1870, 
liavtng  bought  out  the  drug  store 
yf  Davis  &  Greenfield,  he  removed  to 
the  present  location,  where  he  con- 
tinued in  business  as  long  as  he 
lived,  and  which  store,  now  owned 
by  his  stepson,  Willis  N.  Barber, 
has  been  gradually  enlarged  from 
time  to  time  until  it  comprises  one 
r>f  the  largest  and  best  ordered  drug 
stores  in  the  city.  Athletic  goods, 
<K:hool  books  and  periodicals  former- 
ly comprised  a  large  portion  of  the 
%tock.  and  during  the  youth  of  Wil- 
lis X.  Barber,  who  grew  up  with 
the  store,  a  job  printing  business 
ivas  conducted,  but  as  the  popula- 
tion at  the  center  increased*  the 
!>tore  became  more  confined  to  the 
^oods  usually  found  in  a  drug  store, 
but  a  large  stock  of  stationery, 
blank  books  and  periodicals  is  still 
carried. 

Mr.  Marvin  was  affiliated  with 
several  organizations  and  was  es- 
pecially active  in  the  Odd  Fellows, 
being  a  member  of  Meriden  Center

country  in  the  spring  of  1857,  locat-

financial  panic  of  that  period,  he  did 
not  bring  his  family  from  Wales  until 
two  years  later. 

At  Rockville  and  at  Windermere 
(Ellington)  he  worked  at  his  trade  in 
woolen  mills  until  after  the  close  of 
the  Civil  War,  when  he  went  to  Hol-

ber of  the  "Wide-awakes"  in  Rock- 
ville during  the  Lincoln  campaign  of 
i860,  and  thereafter  as  long  as  he

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Mr.  Dykeman  at  Bridgeport,  he  made 
his  start  in  business  for  liimself  in 
that  city. 

In  1869  he  removed  hb  business  to 
\c\v  Haven  and  in  1872  came  to  Mer- 
iden  where  he  has  since  resided  and 
done  business,  achieving  a  high  repu- 
tation as  a  contractor  and  an  esteemed 
citizen.  His  business  grew  with  his 
reputation  and  for  ^me  years  Mr. 
Morehouse  has  possessed  a  large  plant 
for  the  storage,  dressing  and  matching 
of  lumber.  For  some  years  the  office 
and  entrance  to  the  plant  were  on  State 
street  but  since  1901  both  the  business 
of  Mr.  Morehouse  and  that  of  the 
Morehouse  Bros.  Company  have  been 
brought  under  cover  and  the  office  re- 
moved to  24  Miller  street,  and  the 
plant  is  now  one  o{  the  most  complete, 
best  equipped  and  ably  managed  in 
New  England. 

Heing  one  of  the  leading  carpenters 
and  builders  of  this  part  of  the  state, 
Mr.  Morehouse  has  naturally  con- 
structed several  of  the  imposing  build- 
ings of  Meriden  and  vicinity  which 
stand  as  monuments  to  his  thorough 
and  conscientious  work. 

Among  these  could  be  mentioned 
the  ^leriden  High  School  and  the  St. 
Laurent's  Roman  Catholic  Cinirch, 
nianv  factories  and  business  blocks. 

Mr.  Morehouse  has  always  taken 
an  active  interest  in  cvcrytliiiig  tliat 
pertains  to  the  welfare  of  his  adopted 
city.  He  has  never  sought  nor  held  a 
puMic  office  and  is  a  man  of  domestic 
tastes  and  habits.  He  is  always  t(^  l)e 
counted  upon  in  matters  where  local 
pri<lc  is  concerned. 


Mr.  Morehouse  has  four  children  ai 
follows:  Allison  V.,  with  the  A-  L 
Robinson  Co.,  of  Xew  York  City, 
retary  of  the  Morehouse  Bros.  Cora*

NOAH  POMEROY. 


Noah  Fomeroy,  a  man  who  took  an 
active  part  in  the  affairs  of  Meriden, 
was  a  worthy  descendant  of  honorable 

ancestry.  One  of  his  ancestors,  Eli* 
weed  Fomeroy,  came  from  England  io 
the  ship  John  and  Mary,  it  is  under* 
stood,  landing  in  Dorchester.  Ma>>, 
now  a  part  of  Boston.  March,  i6vx 
He  descended  from  Ralph  de  }\m\- 
croi,  who  went  to  Fngland  from  Nor- 
mandy with  William  the  Conquemr. 
(nth  century)  taking  active  part  in 
the  conquest  for  which  he  was 
knighted. 

Eltweed  settled  in  Dorchester  where 
he  was  prominent  in  organizing  tlie  1 
provisional  government.  In  1637  he 
removed  to  Windsor,  Conn.,  for  per- 
manent settlement.  Like  many  of  iiss 
descendants  he  was  a  blacksmith, 
which  trade  meant  more  than  now 
that  machinery  is  superseding  han<li- 
craft.  In  the  settlement  of  Massachu- 
setts and  Connecticut  they  were  wel- 
come artisans.  iR-itig  granted  larire 
tracts  of  land  to  induce  them  to  settle 
and  carry  on  business.  They  were

pensable. Before  the  L'nited  States 
had  an  armory  the  private  armories 
of  the  Ponieroys  were  famous.  These 
men  were  of  Hberal  and  independent 
minds,  determined  to  preserve  their 
•civil  and  religious  liberties.  Among 
their  descendants  were  successful  mer- 
chants, civil  engineers,  lawyers  and 
ministers,  one  of  the  last  named  pro- 
fession  was  Samuel  Pomeroy,  a  grad- 
uate of  Yale  College  in  1705. 

Noah  Pomeroy  was  bom  in  Say- 
brook,  Conn.,  March  i.  1786,  the 
youngest  of  five  children.  His  father, 
•Charles  Pomeroy,  a  merchant  of  that 
place,  who  died  shortly  before  Noah's 
liirth,  was  a  soldier  of  the  Revolution, 
-who  enlisted  July  8,  1775,  as  ser- 
geant and  served  in  the  Sixth  com- 
pany. Col.  Charles  Webb's  regiment. 
In  1776,  he  joined  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Seymour's  light  horse  cavalry  as  pay- 
master and  in  1777  was  appointed  re- 
ceiver of  the  400  pounds  of  powder 
granted  Saybrook.  At  the  age  of  ten 
Noah  began  to  earn  his  living*  work- 
ing summers,  saving  his  meager  earn- 
ings, thereby  enabling  him  to  attend 
school  winters.  At  fifteen  he  com- 
menced, peddling  tin,  of  which  he 
eventually  became  a  manufacturer,  not 
only  of  plain,  but  japanned  and  orna- 
mented ware,  which  industry  he  car- 
ried on  in  several  locations,  finally 
moving  it  to  Meridcn  in  1818  where 
he  bought  a  farm  and  spent  the  rest 
of  a  useful  life.  He  retire«l.  nomi- 
nally, from  Imsiness  in  1839,  leaving  it 
to  his  sons.  I)ut  eontniuuit,'-  to  exercise

vocate  of  progression  and  reform  < 
tending  for  the  broadest  religious ; 
political  liberty.  He  earnestly  uc 
the  calling  of  the  convention  which 
modeled  the  state  constitution  and 
punged  many  of  those  statutes  kisi 
as  "blue  laws.*'  In  1832  he  was  th 
to  the  legislature  and  in  1837  ' 
chosen  senator  from  the  Stsdh 
trict. 

When  the  Meriden  Bank  was  ctg

and  in  1849     president    From  l| 
he  was  a  charter  member  and  a

HENRY  JAMES  LEWIS. 


Henry  James  Lewis  was  bom  at 
Meriden,  Connecticut,  on  October  21, 
1S41.  He  was  the  son  of  Isaac  C,  and 
Harriet  (Pomeroy)  Lewis.  His  father 
was  one  of  Meriden*s  most  prominent 
citizens  and  one-time  mayor,  a  worthy 
descendant  of  William  Lewis,  who 
came  to  this  country  from  England  on 
the  ship  "Lion."  landing  in  P.oston, 
Mass.,  in  1632,  and  scrtliiii,'  in  Cam- 
bridge. Four  years  later.  William 
Lewis  became  one  of  the  Kcv.  rii.yma.s 
Hof^ker  Company  that  settled  in  Hart- 
ford, and  still  later  he  removed  to 
Farmington.  where  was  built  the 
homestea<l  that  is  yet  standing  as  a 
part  of  the  "Elm  Tree  Inn."  known 
now  and  fur  many  years  as  a  famous 
hostelry.  The  land,  a  tract  sixteen 
miles  square,  he.  together  with  Samuel 
Steele,  bought  from  the  Indians  on

behalf  of  the  Farmington  Company. 
■Henry  J.  Lewis  was  also  descended 
from  Jared  Lewis,  a  patriot  of  the 
Revolutionary  War,  who  served  in  the 
Continental  Army  in  the  regiment 
commanded  by  Col.  Caniield  and  on 
the  maternal  side  from  Sergeant 
Charles  Pomeroy,  also  a  soldier  of  the 
Revolution.  By  virtue  of  this  ances> 
try,  Mr.  Lewis  was  a  member  of  the 
Connecticut  Society  of  the  Sons  of  the 
American  Revolution. 

He  was  educated  in  the  common 
schools  of  Meriden,  later  attending 
the  Meriden  Academy,  finishing  his 
schooling  at  Eaton's  Commercial  Col- 
lege, Worcester,  Mass.  He  began  his 
business  career  by  entering  the  office 
of  the  Meriden  Britannia  Compan) ,  of 
which  his  father  was  one  of  the  found- 
ers. Some  years  after  this  he  went 
into  the  hardware  business  as  a  part- 
ner of  N.  F.  Griswold,  under  the  st\  le 
of  Griswold  &  Lewis.  About  1880 
he  disposed  of  his  interest  to  John 
L.  Richmond.  Always  a  lover  of 
outdoor  life,  he  removed  to  Stony 
Creek,  where  he  could  engage  in  a 
business  that  should  satisfy  his  desire. 
Here  he  had  from  boyhood  owned  one 
of  the  Thimble  Islands,  charted  as 
"Lewis  Island."  The  business  of  his 
choice  was  that  of  oyster  cultivation, 
and  he  was  one  of  the  first  men  in  the 
state  t(i  realize  tlie  iui|>ortance  this  in- 
dustrv  was  to  attain.  It  was  not  long 
l)elnre  he  made  his  headquarter.^,  first, 
at  Bridgeport  and  later  at  Stratford. 
From  now  on  he  rapidly  built  up  a 
business  of  huge  proportions  until  his

holdings  extended  from  Xorwalk 
eastward  along  the  Sound  as  far  as 
Guilford  and  Madison,  with  wharves, 
-hops  and  offices  at  various  places,  and 
additional  oyster-beds  off  the  south 
shore  of  Long  Island  and  in  the  waters 
of  Xarragansett  Bay,  Rhode  Island. 
In  1895  the  Connecticut  business  was 
organized  as  the  H.  J.  Lewis  Oyster 
Company.  Under  the  name,  of  this 
corporation  Mr.  Lewis  became  pos- 
sessed of  a  title  to  more  than  lo^ooo 
acres  of  territory  in  Connecticut  wa- 
ters alone,  thus  being  at  the  time  of  his 
death  the  largest  holder  of  oyster 
grounds  in  the  state.  His  Long  Isl- 
and branch  was  incorporated  as  the 
Lewis  Blue  Point  Oyster  Cultivation 
Company,  with  headquarters  at  Say- 
ville,  L.  1. 

Mr.  Lewis  was  also  interested  as  a 
stockholder  and  director  in  a  number 
of  banks,  trust  companies,  and  indus- 
trial  enterprises.  Some  of  the  Meri- 
den  concerns  were  the  International 
Sih'er  Compan\ ,  of  which  he  was  one 
of  the  large  stockholders,  the  Meriden 
Xational  Bank,  and  the  Meriden  Trust 
&  Safe  Deposit  Company ;  he  was  pres- 
ident of  the  Horton  Printinij  Company 
and  a  director  of  Edward  Miller  & 
C(>mpany  and  the  Miller  Brothers  Cut- 
lery Company.  These  varied  interests 
kept  him  vigorously  active  up  to  the 
day  of  his  death. 

On  AupTust  7,  1884.  Mr.  Lewis 
married  Mary  E.  Stringer,  daughter 
of  W  illiam  C.  and  Mary  Stringer,  of 
Cold  Spring.  Long  Island,  N.  Y.  Tlicv 
had  four  children,  Henry  Leroy,  Helen 

18 


Margery,  Kate  May  and  Isaac  Chaun- 

cey. 

Never  a  seeker  after  publicity  or 
popularity,  Mr,  Lewis  devoted  himself 
to  his  business  and  his  home,  and  dis- 
liked nothinjg;  more  than  a  parade  of 
his  virtues.  Yet  a  biographical  sketch 
omitting  all  mention  of  character  and 
characteristics  could  hardly  be  re- 
garded as  satisfactory. 

His  ability  to  see,  and  quickness  to 
grasp  opportunities,  prove  him  to 
have  been  possessed  of  the  two  prime 
essentials  of  business  success — ^good 
judgment  combined  with  courage. 
Indeed,  of  business  sagacity  he  had  a 
generous  endowment  both  by  nature 
and  by  heritage.  This,  however,  was 
but  one  phase  of  a  singularly  well-bal^ 
anced  temperament.  Even  more  dom- 
inant traits  were  the  equity  which 
earned  him  the  heart\  good-will  of  his 
business  associates,  the  sympathy  and 
generosity  that  made  of  his  force  of 
employes  a  little  army  devoted  to  his 
interests,  and  tiie  philanthropy  whose 
manifestations  were  known  only  to 
those  institutions  and  individuals  that 
stood  in  the  position  of  beneficiaries. 
The  town  of  Stratford,  which  he  made 
his  place  of  residence  for  a  score  of 
years,  has  known  no  man  tliat  ever  did 
more  for  the  town  and  its  people  than 
did  he.  To  talk  with  him,  no  matter 
on  what  snhjcct,  was  to  be  impressed 
with  the  sanity  of  his  outlook ;  to  ap- 
peal to  him  in  behalf  of  a  worthy 
can^e  was  to  be  convinced  of  the  gen- 
uine spirit  oi  kindness  and  sympathy 
that  ruled  his  life.

prime  tlirough  the  wisdom  of  the  Al-

personal  characters  in  Meriden.  At 
the  time  of  his  death  he  was  man- 
ai^cr  of  the  liusion  office  of  the  Meri- 
(irii  Cutlery  Company.  He  was

owner,  since  which  time  the  family 
name  has  held  an  honored  place  in 
the  history  of  the  town.

by  his  father,  his  succe*;';  was  due  to 
his  ability  to  make  the  nio^i  (.f  ids 
Opp<  Ttnidties.  In  1870  after  --eeuriniL^ 
a  good,  practical  education  he  en- 


tered the  Meriden  Cutlery  Company 
as  a  foreman  of  the  stock  depart-

tained  who  became  eminent  in  various 
professions. 

Mr.  Amold  began  his  business  life 
in  the  Bank  of  New  England,  now 
the  National  Bank  of  New  England 
at  Haddam,  one  of  the  oldest  banks 
uf  the  state.  There  he  learned  the 
rudiments  of  bankiiij;.  a  l)usiness  he 
followed  eununnously  therealLer.  Il 
was  in  1856  that  he  came  to  Meriden 
to  become  cashier  of  the  Meriden 
I'.ank.  his  brother.  Joseph  .\rnold, 
having  iH"cviuu>]\  occupied  the  same 
l-u-sitiun — atid  who  had  resigned  in 
185,^  to  accept  ihc  oflice  of  cashier  of 
the  bank  in  Derby,  Coini.  ( >.  B.  Arnnlfl 
served  as  cashier  until  tlie  death  ol 
Joel  1.  Butler  in  1890,  when  he  was 
cho.sen  prc^ideiit.  and  he  held  the  lat- 
ter office  c< -ntinuously  until  the  day 
of  his  death  which  occurred  August 
30,  1900. 

The  following  extracts  from  the 
resolutions  adopted  at  a  meeting  of 
the  directors  of  the  Meriden  National 
Bank  held  a  few  days  after  his  death 
show  in  what  high  regard  he  was  held 
by  his  bank  associates: 

"After  a  considerable  training  in 
banking  and  financial  affairs  he 
(Owen  B.  Arnold)  joined  his  for- 
tunes with  oqr  bank  forty- four  years 
ago,  and  has  remained  in  continuous 
service,  until  death  following  a  lin- 
gering illness,  severed  our  official  re- 
lations. 

"Knowing  him  as  few  did,  we  held 
him  in  the  highest  respect  and  es- 
teem.  His  advice  was  frequently 
sought  and  much  prized.  He  was 
careful,  thorough  and  painstaking,

scrupulously  exact,  ever  affable  and 
:ourteouSy  with  a  quiet  dignity  and 
rhanning  refinement  of  manner. 

*'The  worthy  never  appealed  to  him 
n  vain,  and  his  charity,  public  and 
)rivate,  at  home  and  abroad,  was  un- 
failing and  without  display.  He  was 
I  helpful,  sympathizing  friend,  a  loved 
roinpanion,  and  a  favorite  wherever 
lie  lived.  His  library  was  carefully 
selected,  and  was  always  at  the  ser* 
rice  of  friends  or  callers. 

"It  is  a  matter  of  regret  that  no  ar- 
tist has  preserved  such  work  as  might 
always  call  to  our  minds  that  tall, 
spare,  courtly  figure,  that  winning 
personality,  that  inspiring  face,  that 
kindly  but  searching  eye,  that  impres- 
sive brow,  and  crowning  all,  that 
wealth  of  luxuriant  hair. 

"There  are  enterprises  now  flour- 
ishing which  might  have  perished 
long  ago,  except  for  the  courage 
which  he  infused  and  the  support  he 
imparted. 

"His  friendly  advice  and  kindly 
word  has  more  than  once  saved  the 
young  from  ruin,  and  led  them  into 
a  l)etter  and  worthier  life.  He  heart- 
ily supported  all  measures  calculated 
t  )  elevate,  educate  and  improve  man- 
kind, but  he  received  with  caution  any 
suggestion  which  involved  a  possible 
menace  to  financial,  social  or  commer- 
cial integrity.  He  scrutinized  every 
proposal  which  might  lead  to  useless 
and  burdensome  expense,  and  tried  to 
test  all  questions  by  the  touchstone 
crMuposed  of  truth,  honor,  justice  and 
fair  play. 

"While  to  the  unthinking  his  ca- 


reer may  seem  an  entire  success,  he 
had  in  the  twilight  of  his  later  life 
realized  only  too  clearly  tlie  uncer- 
tainty of  human  plans,  and  his  grief 
was  the  keener  because  he  suffered 
for  those  whose  interests  were  under 
his  care,  so  that  at  last  his  troubled 
heart  began  to  long  the  more  for  that 
rest  and  peace  which  can  only  be  found 
in  the  companionship  of  Him  who  is 
infinitely  tender  and  compassionate." 

Besides  the  important  part  Mr.  Ar- 
nold took  in  the  successful  manage- 
ment of  the  Meriden  National  Bank, 
he  was  from  1862  until  his  death  one 
of  the  trustees  and  directors  of  the 
Meriden  Savings  Bank,  of  which  in- 
stitution he  was  also  from  1870  one 
of  its  yice-presidents.  Several  local 
manufacturing  enterprises  were  aided 
to  success  and  encouraged  both  by  his 
sound  judgment  and  his  means.  He 
was  one  of  the  directors  of  Edward 
Miller  &  Co.,  and  The  Wilcox  & 
White  Organ  Company.  In  the  af- 
fairs of  the  town  of  Meriden  he  was 
always  active,  and  although  quiet  and 
unpretending  was  a  man  whose  influ* 
ence  invariably  was  exerted  for  the 
welfare  of  his  fellow  townsmen.  He 
was  kind,  not  only  to  relatives,  but  it 
was  his  delight  to  help  the  poor  and 
unfortunate. 

He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Meriden  Bovs'  Club,  and  contributed 
liberally  towards  its  maintenance.  He 
was  for  about  twenty  years  one  of  the 
trustees  of  the  Connecticut  School  for 
Boys.  For  several  years  and  until 
his  death  he  was  president  of  the  Cur« 
tis  Home,  and  he  was  treasurer  of  St.

which  churcli  he  was  connected  as  one 
of  the  vestrymen  tor  a  great  many 
years,  although  in  his  early  life  he 
was  affiliated  with  the  Congregational 
church. 

Mr.  Arnold's  puhlic  career  con- 
sisted of  two  terms  in  the  legislature 
where  he  ably  represented  the  town 
of  Meriden,  being  first  elected  in  1861 

and  again  in  1874. 

Mr.  Arnold  amassed  considerable 
land  in  and  about  Meriden  and  among 
his  possessions  was  (jtiitc  a  tract  on 
W'est  Peak  and  in  his  will  the  extreme 
pdint  nf  the  Peak,  consisting  of  about 
four  acres,  was  left  to  the  city  of  Mer- 
i<len.  It  was  his  earnest  hope  that  by 
some  means  this  hi'^h  point  of  land 
could  be  used  in  the  same  way  that 
Mt.  Tom  in  Ma^^^arlmsctt^  iT^ed.  as 
a  pleasure  resort  for  the  poplc  of 
Meriden  and  vicinity  during  the  warm 
days  of  summer. 

During  Ins  entire  life  he  was  a  stu- 
dent, and  a*^  he  advanced  in  age  he 
found  his  greatest  ]>k'a>>nre.  outside  of 
banking  h<iur>.  with  his  hooks. 

His  ar()naintaiic«.'  aniinig  men  of  let- 
ters was  unusually  lar^e,  while  his 
genemsity  and  charity  wen-  not  tuUv 
known  until  after  his  dcaili.  In  his 
will  were  provisiuns  for  many  charita- 
ble objects,  but  so  reserved  a  man  was 
he  that  even  his  executor  had  no  idea 
of  the  extent  of  his  liberality  until 
proven  to  him  conclusively  bv  tin- 
large  uuniher  r,f  call>  from  individuals 
and  institntiniis  that  had  previously 
been  helped  by  Mr.  Arnold. 

Mr.  Arnold  was  never  married.  One 


of  his  nieces,  Katherme  Arnoll< 
daugiiter  of  Joseph  Arnold,  married  J3 
1874.  Charles  H.  Xettleton,  of  Den:.. 
Conn.,  whom  he  appointed  execui^x 
of  his  will. 

The  accompanying  em;  raving  i 
Mr.  Arnold  and  the  only  c»ne  of  h  i: 
known  to  exist  is  from  a  photograrJi 
probably  taken  shortly  after  his  re- 
moval to  Meriden.

Burroughs  Beach,  who  afterward  be- 
came a  resident  and  property  owner 
of  Meriden,  where  he  died  January 
12,  1872,  lived  to  see  slavery  abol- 
ished, very  much  to  his  satisfaction. 

To  his  son,  the  subject  of  this 
sketch,  he  gave  a  good  education, 
iirst  at  the  common  schools,  later  at 
private  school  in  his  native  town, 
afterwards  at  the  Methodist  Semi-

with  an  attendance  at  a  select  private 
school  at  New  Mtlford.  Henry  B. 
Beach,  after  entering  a  dry  goods 
store  at  New  Milford  as  a  boy,  be- 
came a  clerk  and  later  owned  a  store 
of  his  own  where  he  became  engag- 
ed in  the  sale  of  general  merchan- 
dise. In  the  early  50s  he  went  front- 
iering,  locating  at  Stillwater.  Minn., 
where  he  became  a  leading  factor  in 
that  town  and  vicinitv  and  was 
heavily  engaged  in  the  lumber  and 
milling  business,  and  also  in  the 
droving  of  cattle  and  horses.  Just 
previous  to  i860  his  parents  re- 
moved to  Meriden  where  they  con- 
tinued to  reside  until  called  to  rest 
from  earthly  cares. 

Henry  B.  Beach  returned  from 
Minnesota  and  settled  permanently 
in  Meriden  about  1863  engaging  in 
the  chuck  and  drill  business  in  a 
portion  of  the  office  of  Lyon  &  Rill- 
ard.  After  a  year  or  more  be  began 
his  long  and  successful  career  as  a 
traveling  salesman  in  the  employ  of 
what  was  then  known  as  the  Wil- 
cox Britannia  Co..  hut  soon  after  as 
the  Wilcox  Silver  Plate  Co.  Mr. 


Beach  continued,  with  the  cxcep< 
tton  of  one  year,  in  that  capacity  aa< 
til  1905,  and  still  retains  his  con^ 
nection  with  the  company  Al< 
though  he  has  now  retired  from  the 
road,  he  is  one  of  the  best  knout 
traveling  men  of  the  trade,  and  has 
for  over  forty  years  been  an  import*

with  Julius  Pratt  &  Co, 

Jarne*^  Conk  as  a  young  man  w^a*' 
industrious  and  thrifty  and  it  was 
not  lonir  before  he  had  saved  enough 
from  his  earnings  to  engage  in  the 
livery  business,  the  site  of  his  stable 
beini^  on  Crown  street  in  the  rear  of 
where  the  Cook  block  now  stands, 
but  w  hich  afterwards  was  destroyed 
by  rire. 

Mr.  Cook  was  successful  from  his 
tir>t  business  venture,  but  he  started 
on  a  greater  era  of  ])ri  i>))crity  after

substantial  business  structures  of 
Meriden,  located  in  the  heart  of 
the  business  section,  and  which  has 
always  proved  to  have  been  an  ex- 
cellent investment,  and  at  the  time 
of  its  construction  was  considered  an 
important  stroke  of  enterprise  on 
the  part  of  its  owners.  Among  Mr.

A  CEKTURY  OF  MERIDBN. 


JOHN  SHERMAN  LANE. 


Meridcn  being  a  manufacturing:  city 
can  boast  of  many  able  and  progres- 
sive business  men.  One  of  tlie  most 
prominent  of  tbcse  is  John  S.  Lane. 
Altbougli  he  did  not  become  a  resi- 
dent of  Meriden  until  1894  he  has 
SO  identified  himself  with  the  business 
and  social  life  of  the  city  as  to  be 
looked  upon  as  a  foremost  citizen. 

Mr.  Lane  is  a  native  of  Connecti- 
cut, having  been  born  in  Kent,  No- 
vember 27,  1839.  His  father  was 
Hon.  Daniel  P.  Lane  and  his  mother 
a  member  of  the  well  known  Sher- 
man family  which  has  given  to  New 
England  so  many  illustrious  citizens. 
Daniel  Lane  fought  in  the  War  of 
181 2,  and  was  a  well  known  man  about 
the  stJite,  having  been  n  n-'inber  of 
the  State  Assembly  from  Kmt  in  1840. 
He  had  five  children  of  whom  John 
Sherman  was  the  second. 

Mr.  *  Lane  attended  the  district 
school  of  his  native  town  during  the 
winter  ^  months  and  worked  on  the 
farm  during  the  summer  until  he  was 
thirteei]  years  of  age,  when  he  served 
as  clerk  in  a  store  for  one  yeear.  At 
the  age  of  eighteen  he  left  the  hill- 
side home  and  went  to  Bridge* 
port  to  make  his  fortune.  He 
found  employment  with  the  New  York 
&  New  Haven  Railroad  Company  as 
a  track  repairer.  His  ability  soon 
earned  for  htm  a  better  position,  that 
of  foreman,  and  later  he  served  the 
Housatonic  road  in  the  same  capacity. 
During  this  time  the  double  track  was 


laid  between  New  York  and  New 
Haven. 

The  western  fever  seized  him  abciit 
this  time,  and  in  1859  he  went  to  Or.-, 
cago  where  he  remained  until  1861. 
Lincoln's  call  for  "500,000  more"  aneTj 
the  battle  of  Bull  Run  found  John  Sli 
.I^ne  ready  and  willing  to  answer  to' 
his  country's  call,  and  he  came  ba 
to  Connecticut  and  joined  the  Eigl 
Connecticut  Volunteers,  enlisting  i 
New  Milford  September  14,  1861. 
acquitted  himself  with  gallantry  11 
all  the  engagements  of  his  regimefltj 
which  included  the  following:  Roan- 
oke Island,  Newbern,  X.  <  V.  ^icge  olj 
Fort  Macon,  N.  C,  South  Mountain,. 
Antietam,  Frederickslmrg,  \  a.,  F<  rt 
Hngcr.  Vti.,  Fort  Darling,  \'a..  Cold 
Harbor,  Petersburg,  Watthall  Junc- 
tion and  Fort  Harrison, 

Mr.  I^ne  left  the  army  a  first  lieu- 
tenant October  14,  1864.  On  his  ^^' 
turn  hoine  lie  was  appointed  supervis- 
or of  the  Housatonic  Road,  and  in 
1880  he  accepted  a  similar  position 
with  the  New  York,  New  Haven  & 
Hartford  Railroad.  P^rt  of  his  woriL 
at  this  time  was  to  attend  to  the  stone 
ballasting  of  the  tracks,  and  he  sooti 
felt  that  there  was  a  good  openitifi^ 
in  this  section  of  the  country  for  the  ' 
business  of  furnishing  crushed  stone  | 
to  the  railroads.  It  was  found  upon 
investigation  that  the  hills  about  Mer- 
iden furnished  excellent  material  for 
this  crushed  stone,  and  in  1894.  lib 
Lane  moved  to  Meriden  where  4b 
great  industry  of  John  S.  Lane  IkSv 
was  started  and  has  ever  since  beet 
growing  to  greater  proportions.  In

lSg$  a  quarry  was  opened  near  West 
field,  Mass.,  on  the  Boston  &  Albany 
Railroad  where  the  same  class  of  stone 
is  found,  and  this  has  also  been  ver>

is  president  of  the  followinjf  concerns: 
John  S.  Lane  &  Son,  Incorp.,  Lane 
Construction  Co..  Incorp..  Lane  Quar- 
ry Co.,  and  he  is  a  shareholder  in  the 
Connecticut  Trap  Rock  Quarries  In- 
corp. 

For  some  vears  he  has  devoted 
most  of  his  time  to  his  extensive  prop- 
erties in  Eustis,  Florida,  where  he 
owns  large  oranpre  groves  and  a  hotel. 

On  January  27.  1863,  Mr.  Lane  was

their  children  are  as  follows:  Arthur 
S„  Bertha,  wife  of  W.  R,  Smith,  E,

HON.  EDGAR  J.  DOOLITTLE. 

Hon.  Edgar  J.  Doolittle,  for  five 
terms  mavor  of  Meriden  and  once 
representing  the  district  in  the  State 
Senate,  was  born  in  Hebron,  Conn., 
January  29,  1845.  He  is  descended 
from  Abraham  Doolittle  who  caine 
from  England  in  1640,  and  took  a 
prominent  part  in  the  organization  of 
the  Town  of  Wallingford.  His  father 
was  Rev.  Edgar  J.  Doolittle,  a  native 
of  New  Haven,  and  a  clergyman  of 
the  Congregational  denomination. 
On  the  maternal  side  Mr.  Doolittle  is 
of  the  Sage  family.  David  Sage,  his 


early  antecedent,  coming  to  Middle- 
town  from  Wales  in  1652.  One  of 
his  ancestors  on  his  mother's  side, 
Captain  William  Sage,  who  fought  at 
the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill,  was  also 
one  of  the  antecedents  of  Russell  Sage, 
the  noted  financier  of  New  York. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  received 
his  early  education  in  the  public 
schools  in  his  native  town,  his  father 
at  that  time  being  the  settled  pastor 
of  the  First  church  of  that  town.  Af- 
ter obtaining  a  practical  education,  and 
a  year  after  receiving  his  diploma  from 
the  Guilford  Institute,  he  en^ged  in 
the  paper  box  industry  in  Meriden, 
which  from  a  modest  beginning  has 
been  developed  by  him  into  one  of  the 
largest  in  the  state.  From  the  high 
character  of  the  output  of  the  factory 
(situated  on  Camp  street  and  conven- 
iently adjoining  the  tracks  of  the  N. 
Y..  N.  H,  &  H.  R.  R.),  the  industry 
has  for  many  years  refif^rted  great 
credit  upon  Meriden  and  given  em- 
ployment to  a  large  number  of  hands, 
who  find  there  both  regular  and  re- 
munerative employment  The  gr^ods 
made  at  the  Doolittle  factory  comprise 
a  great  variety ;  and  almost  every  de- 
scription of  paper  boxes  and  cartons 
are  produced  there,  a  large  portion  of 
the  output  consisting  of  the  finest 
goods  lined  with  satin,  silk  and  plush* 
and  used  extensively  by  the  manufu- 
turers  of  silverware  and  plated  'k^tc. 
The  name  of  the  factory  over  which 
Mr.  Doolittle  has  continuously  main- 
tained a  personal  supervision  and  man- 
agement, is  a  s}*nonym  for  the  best 
boxes  for  all  uses  in  the  trade.

A  CENTURY  OF  MBRIDEN. 


Strict  integrity  and  honesty  of  pur- 
pose in  all  his  dealings  have  won  the 
confidence  and  esteem  of  Mr.  Doolit- 
tie's  fellow  townsmen,  and  he  has 
many  times  been  called  to  accept  posi- 
tions of  honor  and  trust.   He  is  at : 
this  writing  vice  president  and  trus- 
tee of  the  Mertden  Savings  Bank ;  di- 
rector of  the  Meriden  Gas  and  Elec- 
tric Light  companies;  vice  president 
and  director  of  the  Home  National 
Bank ;  trustee  of  the  Meriden  Hospi- 
tal, and  in  1904  was  appointed  by  the 
governor  of  the  state  a.  member  of 
the  Connecticut  Commission  to  the  St 
Louis  World's  Fair  Exposition,  where 
his  service  to  the  commonwealth  was 
marked  with  rare  judgment  and  abil- 
ity.  During  his  terms  as  chief  mag- 
istrate of  the  city  of  Meriden,  his  ad- 
ministration, which  was  concluded  in 
1887,  was  productive  of  many  perma- 
nent improvements  and  conducted  in 
.the  interests  of  all  citizens  and  tax- 
payers. 

Whil^  in  the  State  Senate  he  won 
the  esteem  of  his  colleagues  and  con- 
stituents  alike  by  his  close  attention 
to  the  proceedings  of  that  worthy 
body  and  fearless  prosecution  of  bills 
which  embraced  that  which  was  right 
and  wise. 

In  social  life  Mr.  Doolittle  is  a 
prominent  figure  and  universally  es- 
teemed and  respected.  He  is  a  mem- 
ber of  Meridian  Lodge,  St.  Elmo  Com- 
mandery.  K.  T.,  and  a  thirty-second 
degree  member  of  the  F.  &  A.  ^^.  He 
is  also  a  member  of  the  Mystic  Shrine. 

He  was  married  Xovember  13,  1867, 
to  Martha  W.,  daughter  of  George 


and  Mary  Warner  (Couch),  of  Meri- 
den, who  died  August  21,  1902.  He 
has  one  daughter,  Dorothy. 


HON.  BENJAMIN  PAGE, 


Hon.  Benfamin  Page,  mayor  of 
Meriden  in  1890  and  1891,  was  bom 
in  North  Branford,  a  son  of  Benjamin 
and  Sarah  E.  (Merriam)  Page,  Sep- 
tember 4,  1840.  He  comes  of  English 
ancestr)  .  Both  his  father  and  grand- 
father were  farmers  whose  names 
were  Benjamin  and  they  took  a  most 
active  part  in  the  affairs  of  their  na* 
tive  town. 

Inheriting  a  love  of  learning  and 
a  desire  for  knowledge,  young  Benja- 
min by  close  application  to  his  school 
books,  fitted  himself  to  become  a 
teacher  at  the  age  of  seventeen;  and 
after  an  attendance  at  the  State  Nor- 
mal school  began  his  career  in  that 
capacity,  his  first  school  beinp;  at  Wal^ 
lingford.  He  continued  with  like  suc- 
cess as  a  teacher  at  East  Haven  and 
in  his  native  town  of  North 
Branford,  afterwards  becoming  prin- 
cipal of  the  school  at  South  Meriden, 
which  position  he  held  for  four  years. 
In  1865  and  while  still  a  teacher,  he 
established  the  insurance  agency  which 
in  1892  became  Page  &  Pardee,  of 
Meriden,  and  for  some  years  past  has 
been  known  as  one  of  tlie  largest  and 
most  reliable  in  the  state. 

A  Hian  uf  acknowledged  judgment 
and  with  a  conscientious  regard  for 
the  rights  of  others,  he  has  been  chos- 
en to  settle  many  important  estates, 
and  in  that  capacity  has  proven  him-

self  a  valued  friend  to  many  bereaved 
families.  His  broadness  of  mind, 
wide  experience  and  knowledge  of 
men  and  affairs  have  made  him  a  man 
much  sought  for  advice;  and  he  lias 
achieved  a  success  in  business  life 
that  can  only  be  attained  by  much  ex- 
ecutive ability  and  the  practice  of 
methods  of  strict  integrity. 

Mr.  I^ge  has  had  an  extended  and 
honorable  public  career.  Shortly  af- 
ter  obtaining  his  majority  he  became 
an  active  and  interested  worker  in  the 
ranks  of  the  Republican  party  of 
which  he  has  ever  been  a  loyal  and 
able  supporter.  He  was  first  elected 
to  office  in  1S83  when  he  was  chosen 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen 
from  the  Third  Ward.  His  re-elec- 
tion was  but  a  fitting  tribute  to  his 
valued  service  and  during  the  lasi 
two  of  the  four  years  he  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  upper  branch  of  the  city 
government,  he  was  made  president 
pro  tern.  His  nomination  and  elec> 
tion  as  mayor  in  1889  were  the  results 
of  his  popularity  and  general  fitness 
for  the  honor ;  and  upon  assuming  the 
duties  of  the  office  he  became  the  chie^ 
magistrate  of  the  city  in  fact  as  well 
as  in  name.  His  first  term  won  hnn 
a  spontaneous  re-election  and  the  ex- 
ecutive ability  and  display  of  wisdom 
during  his  second  term  was  but  a 
continuation  of  his  first.  Although 
a  third  time  honored  with  a  nomina- 
tion by  his  party  he  declined  to  serve 
another  term  as  mayor  but  in  1894  ac« 
cepted  the  call  to  take  a  seat  in  the 
state  Legislature.  He  was  made 
clerk  of  the  Committee  on  Insurance, 


in  which  capacity  he  was  admirably 
qualified  to  serve  and  at  the  close  0: 
the  session  had  made  a  record  satLc- 
factory  to  his  constituents. 

Mr.  Page  was  collector  of  taxes  fcr 
the  Town  and  City  of  Meriden  for  a 
period  of  ten  years  and  during  his  ser- 
vice in  that  office  handled  the  public 
funds  in  a  manner  most  satisfactory 
to  the  people.  His  appointment  as  i 
member  qf  the  Board  of  Fire  Cotn* 
missioners  by  Mayor  Seeley  in  iQtt 
was  met  with  expressions  of  warm  ap- 
proval from  both  the  public  and  press. 

Mr.  Page  is  a  director  of  the  Men- 
den  Savings  and  Meriden  National 
Bank ;  president  of  the  board  of  tnif- 
tees  of  the  Curtis  Home  and  one  of 
the  directors  of  the  Middlesex  Mutual 
Assurance  Company  of  Middletowo. 
He  is  prominent  in  church  and  social 
life  and  is  one  of  the  wardens  and 
vestrymen  of  St.  Andrew's  Episcopal 
church.  He  is  also  a  member  of  Mer- 
idian Lodge,  F.  &  A.  M..  and  Padk 
Lodge,  I.  O.  O.  F. 

He  was  married  in  1864  at  N'ortb 
Branford  to  Miss  Margaret  A.  Cook, 
daughter  of  Leverett  and  Tliankful 
(Stevens)  Cook,  of  Wallingford,  to 
whom  one  daughter,  Mrs.  Frederick 
W.  Kilbourne,  of  Springfield,  Mass- 
was  born.

A  CBNTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


ELI  COE  BIRDSEY. 


A  life-long  identification  with  Mer- 
iden,  following  that  of  his  father, 
whose  full  name  he  bears,  has  made 
the  name  of  Eli  C.  Birdsey  one  most 
familiar  to  both  present  and  past  res- 
idents of  the  town.  He  was  bom  in 
Meridcn  February  25,  1843,  and  still 
resides  in  the  stately  Colonial  mansion 
built  in  1830,  at  the  corner  of  Broad

mg  style  ut  architecture  has  been  for 
many  years  one  (tf  tlie  most  conspic- 
uous landmarks  of  ihc  town.  His 
father,  of  w  honi  a  biographical  sketch 
is  given  elsewlierc,  died  when  Eli  was 
an  infant  and  he  was  trained  early  to 
paths  of  rectitude  by  his  motlier.  lie 
attended  the  schools  of  Mcriden  and 
later  took  a  course  at  Fierce  Academy 
at  Middleboro,  Mass.  Tie  bc;::an  liis

a  partner  the  late  Wallace  A.  Miles, 
one  of  the  past  mayors  of  the  cit} . 
Adhering  to  the  same  location  and 
since  having  as  partners  the  late  Frank 
S.  Foster  and  his  present  partner, 
John  F.  Raven,  Mr.  Birdsey  has  be- 
come known  as  one  of  the  most  re- 
liable and  enterprising  merchants  of 
the  locality  and  the  large  trade  the 
firm  of  Birdsey  &  Raven  enjoys  is  the 
result  of  a  long  and  uninterrupted 
period  of  a  carefully  conducted  busi- 
ness during  which  the  confidence  of 
the  buying  public  has  been  justly  mer- 


ited. In  matters  of  public  intn 
concerning  the  town  and  state  1 
Birdsey  has  shown  a  conscicntioaa 
gard.  During  its  existence  he  i

Association,  an^  upon  the  orgm

HON.  GEORGE  S.  SEELEY. 

Hon.  George  S.  Seeley,  mayor  of 
Meriden  in  1902-3-4  and  5,  like  sev- 
eral of  his  antecedents,  was  born  in 
Waterbury.  He  first  saw  light  Feb- 
ruary 2,  1846.  His  ancestors  on  the 
paternal  and  maternal  sides  comprised 
old  Connecticut  stock.  His  great- 
grandfather was  one  of  the  patriots 
who  fought  in  the  Revolutionary  War 
and  his  grandfather.  Roger  Prilchard, 
:>aw  active  service  as  a  continental  sol- 
dier in  the  War  of  18 12. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  nnd  his 
mother  were  horn  at  the  old  I'riichard 
homestead,  and  he  received  his  edit- 
cation  by  attending  the  public  schools 
of  Waterbury  and  MericUn.  When  he 
was  12  years  old,  his  i);ironts  removed 
to  Meriden,  his  father  purcliasing  the 
farm  at  l^'ast  Meriden.  now  owned  by 
Edwin  r.irdsey,  where  for  some  years 
he  continued  in  agricultural  pursuits, 
later  engaging  in  business  as  a  stone 
mason. 

At  the  age  of  19  George  S.  Seeley 
began  to  learn  his  trade  and  after 
serving  his  apprenticeship  pursued 
the  calling  of  a  metal  turner  with 
marked  perseverance  and  industry  for 
twenty-live  years.  For  the  i)ast  eleven 
years  he  has  devoted  his  ener-^ies  lo 
the  hainllinL^  of  real  estrite.  His  wide 
kutAvledge  of  pul)lic  affairs  has  been 
gained  by  practical  experience  ac- 
quired by  his  repeated  election  to 
town  and  city  offices.  Affiliated 
closely  with  the  Kii>nf»lican  party,

cian  in  the  generally  accepted  sense  of 
the  term,  and  his  public  record  and 
private  life  have  ever  been  above  re- 
proach. He  served  creditably  as  a 
member  of  the  Common  Council  and 
later  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen  from 
the  third  ward  and  in  1898,  1899,  1900 
and  1 901  as  second  selectman  and  sev- 
eral years  as  chairman  of  the  Repub- 
lican Town  Committee. 

After  the  city  had  gone  Democratic 
two  municipal  elections,  the  Republi- 
cans of  Mertden  chose  Mr.  Seeley  for 
their  standard  bearer  and  his  election 
was  a  high  personal  tribute  to  his  pop- 
ularity. 

Subsequent  to  his  election  it  was 
j^rovcn  that  the  people  of  the  city  had 
made  no  mistake,  for  both  his  terms 
as  mayor  were  marked  by  wise  ap- 
pointments and  an  administration  of 
public  affairs  which  rctlected  credit 
iiI>on  the  city  as  well  as  its  mayor ; 
for  the  city's  business  was  conducted 
i!i  the  interest  of  tlio  taxpayer  and 
property  owner,  Durinpf  his  four 
years  as  mayor  he  was  accredited  a 
most  loyal  support  from  the  various 
commissions  of  his  appointment  and 
his  manai^cnient  of  the  city's  finances 
was  most  pleasing  and  gralilyinjec  to 
the  citizens.  Mr.  Seeley  is  a  promi- 
nent (  >dd  Fellow,  and  since  f888  has 
served  tli.it  fraternity  as  trea>urer  of 
Meriden  Center  Lodge,  of  whicli 
lodge  he  is  also  a  past  grand.  He  is 
a  member  of  the  Arcanum  Club :  one 
of  the  vestr\nieii  of  St.  Andrew's 
Ei)i>C()pal  church  of  Meriden.  \  <i  which 
parish  he  has  also  been  treasurer  since 

1900;  he  is  also  a  member  and  a  di-

GEORGE  REDFIELD  CURTIS. 


The  subject  of  this  sketch,  George 
Rcdficid  Curtis,  was  a  descendant  of 
John  Curtis,  who,  with  his  mothet. 
Elizabeth,  and  his  brother,  William, 
was  among  the  first  settlers  of  Strat- 
ford, Conn.,  in  the  year  1639.  His 
line  of  descent  is  as  follows:  Widow 
Elizabeth,  John,  Thomas  (who  settled 
in  Wallingford,  Conn.,  in  1670.  as 
an  original  planter),  Nathaniel,  Ben- 
jamin, IJenjamin,  Asahel.  In  1670 
the  territory  now  comprised  in  Meri- 
den was  a  part  of  WalliuglMfd,  and

Mcriden,  Conn.,  on  Christmas  Day, 
December  25,  1825,  and  received  his 
education  principally  in  the  schools 
of  that  place.  He  left  school  at  the 
age  of  eighteen,  and  took  a  position 
in  a  dry  goods  store  in  Middletown, 
Conn.,  where  he  remained  four  years. 
In  1847  he  went  to  Rochester,  X.  Y.» 
and  for  one  year  taught  school  in  a 
town  near  that  cit}'.    During  the  year 

1848  he  taught  school  in  Meriden.  Tii 

1849  became  bookkeeper  for  Ju- 
lius Pratt  &  Co.,  of  Meriden  and  con- 
tinued with  them  until  October,  1850, 
when  he  became  teller  of  the  Meriden 
Bank.  On  January  7,  1853,  the 
month  following  its  organization,  he 
b^;an  work  with  the  Meriden  Bri- 
tannia Company.  The  following 
April  he  was  elected  its  treasurer, 
which  position  he  held  until  his  death ; 
he  was  also  for  some  time  its  secre- 
tary. For  many  years  his  life  was 
bound  up  in  the  increasing  interests 
of  that  company  and  his  labor  and 
care  contributed  largely  to  the  pros- 
perity of  the  corporation.  He  was  an 
ideal  business  man  and  the  financial 
affairs  of  the  company  were  admir- 
ably conducted  under  his  personal  di- 
rection for  many  years,  until  advanc- 
ing age  and  many  outside  interests 
made  him  gradually  withdraw  from 
their  administration.  He  was  always 
interested  in  whatever  increased  the 
prosperity  of  his  native  town,  and  his 
connection  with  the  financial  and  man- 
ufacturing  concerns  of  Meriden  is  in- 
dicated  by  the  following  list  of  of- 
fices held  by  him:  He  was  treasurer 
of  the  Meriden  Britannia  Company, 


president  of  the  Meriden  Silver  Plate 
Company,  Meriden  Horse  Railroad 
Company  and  Meriden  Gas  Light 
Company ;  director  in  the  Wilcox  Sil- 
ver Plate  Company,  Chapman  Manu- 
facturing Company,  Manning,  Bow- 
man &  Company,  Home  National 
Bank,  Meriden  Trust  &  Safe  Deposit 
Company,  R.  Wallace  &  Sons  Manu- 
facturing Company  of  Wallingford, 
Rogers  &  Brother  of  Watcrbury,  and 
William  Rogers  Manufacturing  Com- 
pany of  Hartford.  He  was  trustee  in 
the  Meriden  Savings  Bank  and  the 
Curtis  Home  for  Orphans  and  Old 
Ladies.  Mr.  Curtis  married  May  22. 
1855,  Augusta  Munson,  youngest 
child  of  Jesse  and  Sophia  (Talmadge) 
Munson,  of  Bradford,  in  western 
New  York.  Of  this  marriage  were 
bom  three  children — George  Munson, 
Frederick  Edgar  (who  died  in  child- 
hood), and  Agnes  Deshon. 

Mr  Curtis  was  a  Republican  in  pol* 
itics  but  he  was  never  a  politican,  al- 
though he  served  his  city  as  council- 
man and  alderman,  and  finally  as 
mayor  during  two  terms,  from  1S79 
to  1881.  Of  the  social,  domestic  and 
religious  characteristics  of  Mr.  Curtis, 
it  is  difficult  to  speak  truthfully  and 
justly  without  seeming  over-eulogis- 
tic. Intellectual  in  his  tastes  and  wide- 
ly read  in  general  and  historical  lit- 
erature, he  was  a  most  genial  and  re- 
sponsive companion  and  acquaintance. 
As  a  husband  and  father,  he  was  most 
loving  and  indulgent;  as  a  son,  most 
filial  in  his  devotion  to  his  mother, 
whose  life  almost  reached  a  century  of 
years.   His  religion  seemed  to  be  in-

nate.  An  elderly  person  who  had 
known  him  from  childhood  sa)s  of 
htm:  'The  peace  of  his  natal  Christ- 
mas-tide seemed  to  have  influenced  his 
mind  and  character."  His  interest  in 
St.  Andrew's  Episcopal  church  in 
Meriden  and  in  the  church  at  large 
was  very  strong.  For  years  he  rep* 
resented  his  parish  at  the  diocesan  con- 
ventions, and  in  1892  he  was  a  dele- 
gate from  Connecticut  to  the  general 
convention  of  the  Protestant  Episco- 
pal church  held  at  Baltimore.  For 
about  forty-five  years  he  was  an  offi- 
cer of  St.  Andrew's  parish,  and  for 
many  of  them  either  senior  or  junior 
warden.  As  the  years  went  on  and 
his  means  enlarged,  he  gave  to  his  be- 
loved church  munificently.  In  1891 
his  sister,  Mrs.  Hallam,  died  and  left 
the  bulk  of  her  property  to  build  a 
church  in  a  new  parish  in  Meriden,  as 
a  memorial  to  her  husband.  Mr.  Cur- 
tis supplemented  this  gift  lar^^cly.  and 
two  days  before  his  death  added  to  his 
generosity  by  presenting  to  the  new 
parish  a  house  and  lot  for  a  rectory. 
Mr.  Curtis  first  became  seriously  ill 
at  the  time  of  the  convention  in  Bal- 
timore. A  trip  south  in  the  early 
spring  of  1893  failed  to  materially 
benefit  him  and  he  died  suddetily  May 
20,  1893.  at  his  home  in  Meriden.  aged 
sixty-seven  years. 

GEORGE  ML'XSON  CURTIS. 


George  Munson  Curtis,  treasurer  of 
the  InternaticMial  Silver  Company  and 
one  of  the  most  valued  citizens  and 
active  men  of  affairs  of  Meriden,  is 


a  son  and  the  only  living  child  of  Hon. 
jGeorge  Redfidd,  and  Augusta  (Mun- 
son) Curtis.  He  is  a  worthy  repre- 
sentative of  the  eighth  generation  of 
one  of  the  oldest  families  of  Connec-

Curtis,  came  to  this  country  from 
England,  settling  in  Stratford,  Con- 
necticut, in  1639,  and  since  1670,

been  prominent  in  the  affairs  of  this 
immediate  vicinity.  The  subject  is

tion from  William  Redfield,  one  of 
the  earliest  English  settlers  of  the 
Massachusetts  Bay  Colony,,  and  on 
the  maternal  side  of  the  ninth  genera- 
tion from  Thomas  Munson,  a  pio- 
neer of  Hartford  and  New  Haven.

He  entered  business  life  as  a  clerk  in 
the  office  of  the  Meriden  Britannia 
Company  immediately  after  leaving 
college ;  and  of  this  company  he  was 
elected  assistant  treasurer  five  years 
later.  Upon  the  death  of  his  hthtj 
he  was  chosen  treasurer  of  the  con-

CHARLES  PARKER. 


The  name  of  Charles  Parker  is  not 
onlv  indissolubly  connected  with  that 
of  Meriden  but  is  properly  recognized 
throughout  the  country  as  that  of  one 
who  during  his  long  and  useful  life 
was  a  leader  in  the  manufacturing 
world. 

He  was  the  founder  of  the  Charles 
Parker  company,  the  first  mayor  of 
the  city  of  Meriden,  and  lived  to  the 
extraordinary  age  of  93  years.  He 
was  bom  in  Cheshire,  January  2, 
1809,  and  was  the  son  of  Stephen  and 
Rebecca  Parker.  He  was  descended 
in  the  sixth  generation  from  William 
Parker,  who  in  1636.  was  one  of  the 
proi)rietors  of  Hartford,  but  who  af- 
terwards removed  with  his  wife,  Mar- 
gery, to  Say  brook. 

Their  son,  John,  was  one  of  the 
early  settlers  of  Wallingford,  a  por- 
tion of  which  is  now  called  Meriden,

jLTUsha,  Ijorn  in  1723;  and  Stephen 
Parker  comprise  his  paternal  ances- 
tors. Stephen  Parker,  son  of  Joel 
and  the  lalher  of  Lharles  Parlai,  a 
soldier  in  the  Revohitionary  army, 
was  horn  Aug.  8,  1759,  and  was  twice 
married,  first  in  1787.  to  Salhe, 
dan^L^^htcr  of  Joseph  Twr,^.  and  sec- 
ond to  Mrs.  Rebecca  Stone,  dauglilcr 
of  Joshua  Ray,  who  died  in  Aleriden 
July  I.  1846. 

Charles  Parker  was  the  second  son 
l>orn  to  the  second  marriage  and  Uke 
.iian\  boys  of  that  period  began  his 
battle  of  life  early.  At  nine  years 
of  age  he  was  placed  on  a  iarm  own- 
ed l)y  Porter  Cook  with  whom  he 
lived  until  fourteen  years  of  a^e.  He 
did  the  chores  and  attended  the  vil- 
In^fe  school  and  made  himself  gener- 
ally useful  to  his  employer. 

His  first  insif^lit  into  manuia*.  l  aruiLT 
was  at  tile  shop  of  Anson  Matthews 
in  Soulhington,  which  he  entered  in 
1827,  where  he  went  to  work  cast- 
ing pewter  biUtons.  his  wages  being 
but  $6  a  week,  .\lthough  a  poor  boy 
he  was  full  of  ambition,  good  health 
and  a  strong  determination  to  succeed. 
I^\cn  though  he  received  but  a  pit- 
tance for  his  hard  and  conscientious 
lalx)r.  with  the  practice  of  self-denial 
and  strict  economy  lie  saved  the  sum 
of  $70. 

After  remaining  in  the  Southing- 
ton  Button  shop  for  a  \ear  au'l  later 
being  employed  by  Horace  and  Har- 


ry Smith  iii  Xaugatuck,  in  A  ii^ust, 
1828,  he  came  to  Meriden  and  went 
to  work  for  Patrick  Lewis. 

His  first  manufacturing  venture 
W'as  makmg  colTee  mills  on  a  contract ; 
and  during  the  ne.\t  thirteen  moiuhs 
by  good  management  auci  close  ap- 
]>lication  he  cleared  $i,8uo,  a  large 
portion  of  which  he  was  able  to  save. 
He  then  took  in  as  a  j)artner  Jared 
Lewis  and  assumed  another  and 
larger  contract  from  Lewis  &  Holt, 
manufacturing  coffee  mills,  ladles  and 
skimmers. 

In  183 1  he  sold  out  to  Tared  Lewis 
uid  purchased  an  acre  of  land  upon 
which  was  situated  an  old  brown 
house  for  which  he  paid  $650.  On 
this  land  he  built  a  stone  shop  which 
was  finished  in  the  spring  of  1832.  in 
which  he  manufactured  coffee  mills 
and  waffle  irons  and  from  which 
sjjrung  the  several  plants  of  the 
Charles  Parker  Comjiany  of  the 
present  day.  the  interesting  history  of 
which  is  given  elscwheri'  in  this  vol- 
ume. He  later  took  in  as  partners 
his  l)rother,  Edmund  i  arker,  and 
lleman  White. 

That  he  was  a  pioneer  in  the  man- 
ufacture of  liar<lware  in  this  coun- 
try and  that  he  was  the  fust  man  to 
introduce  steam  power  in  Meriden  are 
matters  of  record.  Fhat  he  also  over- 
came, it  would  seent  almost  miracu- 
lously, obstacles  which  would  have  i)ut 
a  stop  to  the  operations  of  any  ordi- 
nary rnan.  is  shown  several  times  dur- 
ijig  his  remarkable  business  career. 

The  panic  of  1837  affected  him 
temporarily  but  he  rallied  quickly  and

within  five  years  he  liad  repaid  to  his 
creditors  every  penny  of  his  indebt- 
edness including  the  interest.  That 
Mr.  Parker  knew  his  own  business 
capacity  and  never  undertook  that 
whicli  he  could  not  accomplish  him- 
self alone,  seems  also  to  be  proven  by 
the  fact  that  his  great  success  seems 
to  date  from  1845  when  he  dissolved 
the  partnership  then  existing  with  his 
brother  and  Mr.  White.  Mr.  Parker 
was  a  man  who  relied  entirely  upon 
his  own  judgment  and*  possessing  re- 
markable foresight  and  almost  bull- 
dog tenacity,  having  once  decided  uf- 
on  a  course  of  action,  always  san- 
guine of  ultimate  success,  he  was  nev- 
er dissuaded  from  his  purpose  either 
by  seeming  adversity  or  the  well  in- 
tended advice  of  his  friends. 

His  business  grew  year  by  year  to 
mammoth  proportions.  The  great  di- 
versity of  product  of  the  several  scat- 
tered factories,  called  for  a  display  of 
his  remarkable  ability  as  a  financier, 
yet  it  is  stated  tliat  tlicre  never  was  a 
time  (hirini;  liis  whole  business  ca-

he  conducted  the  affairs  of  the  then 
infant  city  not  only  wist-ly  but  with 
as  much  care  as  he  did  his  own  pri- 
vate business. 

As  a  result  Meriden  as  a  city  es- 
tablished a  remarkable  precedent, 
which  its  citizens  look  back  upon 
with  pride. 

Mr.  Parker  was  a  number  of  .Mer- 
idian T.odge,  A.  V.  &  A.  and  held 
tlic  distinction  of  being  the  last  si  r- 
vivinj;-  charter  member  of  that  Ma-

of  St.  Elmo  CommandcTV  to  the

be  ])rehenlcil  a  beautiful  banner  in 
memory  of  his  bruther,  Rev,  John 
Parker,  his  son.  Wilbur  Parker,  and 
his  nephew,  George  White  Parker,  all 
of  whom  were  active  tuenibers  of  tliat 
high  branch  of  the  order. 

He  was  a  true  member  of  the  Suns 
of  the  American  Revolution  from 
1893.  From  early  manboorl  until 
his  regretted  decease  be  was  a 
devoted  and  intbiential  member  of  the 
First  .Meth(t(bst  church  to  which  so- 
ciety at  one  time  he  ^ave  the  prince- 
Iv  sum  of  $4i),()on  towards  building 
the  present  bands(ime  C(bfice.  He 
also  gave  to  the  cit\-  of  Meriden  eight 
acres  of  land  now  contnin'-d  in  the 
beautiful  public  breathuig  place 
known  as  Hubbard  I'ark. 

His  iate  residence  on  T.road  street,

Andrew  J.  Coe,  the  first  jtidge  of

le  was  a  son  of  Calvin  and  Harriet 
Rice)  Coe  aiul  the  .sixth  of  a  family 
f  nine  children  who  reached  niatur- 
y.  He  diet!  IVbruary  25,  1897.  af-

len's  welfare,  and  liis  death  was  a

ann,  which  was  always  his. home. 


he  first  left  it  fur  a  college  conrse  and 
gradnated  frotu  Wesleyan  L'niver- 
sity  with  honors  in  the  class  of  1S55. 
Deciding  to  establish  himself  in  the 
west,  he  coinmenced  the  study  of  law 
in  Iowa,  but  being  unable  to  endure 
the  malarial  climate  there,  he  returned 
to  Meriden.  and  completed  his  law 
studies  in  the  office  of  the  late  Col. 
Dexter  R.  Wright,  being  admitted  to 
the  New  Haven  county  l)ar  in  1858. 
Another  efldrt  to  locate  in  the  west 
was  frustrated  bv  a  long  illness  from 
which  he  never  quite  regained  his 
early  vigor.  After  three  years  of  pro- 
gressive law  i>ractice  in  Xew  York, 
Mr.  Coe  returned  to  the  farm  which 
he  carried  on  for  some  years  but 
spending  most  o£  his  winters  in  the 
south. 

He  became  the  sole  owner  of  the 
Coe  property  in  1873.  having  bought 
out  the  interests  of  his  brothers,  Henry 
and  Winfield.  It  was  Judge  Coe  who 
crmceived  the  building  of  the  famous 
(  of  "Castle."  I  bis  and  the  old  Calvin 
Coc  homestead,  is  described  else- 
where in  these  pages. 

In  li^'yo  Judge  Coe  was  elected  rep- 
resentative to  llic  legislatnre  and 
served  on  the  judiciary  committee. 
Again  elected,  in  18^)7.  bv  the  Repub- 
lican party,  although  himself  a  Dem- 
ocrat, he  was  made  chairman  of  the 
finance  committee.  During  his  ser- 
vice in  the  state  legislature,  he  w.is 
appointed  to  atliust  the  court  house 
contest  between  the  towns  of  Dan- 
bury  and  Piridgeport,  and  also  served

counts  of  the  state  treasurer.  When 
the  Meriden  Municipal  Court  was  es- 
tablished, by  the  unanimous  nomina- 
tion of  the  citizens,  he  was  appointed 
the  first  judge.  This  office  he  re- 
signed in  1869  to  engage  in  the  fer- 
tilizer business  and  assumed  the 
charge  of  the  Southern  Department  of 
the  Bradley  Fertilizer  Company,  with 
headquarters  at  Charleston,  S.  C, 
where  he  remained  for  sixteen  years. 
He  was  also  one  of  the  founders  of 
the  Dryer  Compan}-  of  Qeveland, 
Ohio,  also  manufacturers  of  fertiliz- 
ers. Judge  Coe  was  descended  from 
a  long  line  of  ancestors  famous  for 
patriotism,  integrity  and  independence 
of  thought  and  action.  A  lifelong 
friends  says,  "He  inherited  in  marked 
degree  characteristics  that  gave  him  a 
strong  and  uncompromising  individ- 
uality.  Of  rare  intellectual  tastes,  he 
found  time  for  a  vast  amount  of  study 
and  research.  Broad  and  liberal  in 
hts  views,  his  convictions,  always 
strong^  and  the  result  of  serious 
thought,  once  formed  he  yielded  them 
to  none :  yet  with  the  rare  consistency 
that  advanced  with  further  accession 
of  knowledge  he  was  always  in  the 
line  of  progress." 

"Two  years  before  his  death  Judge 
Coe  had  a  severe  attack  of  pneumonia 
and  hoping  to  avoid  the  recurrence  of 
it,  spent  the  succeeding  winter  in  Car- 
acas. Venezuela.  About  the  same  time 
his  marriage  with  ^liss  Kate  Footc, 
of  Guilford,  took  place,  and  his 
friends  looked  for  a  bright  afternoon 
to  crown  his  life  hut  his  honeymoon

about  six  months'  duration  and  his 
death  was  peaceful  and  painless.  He . 
was  laid  at  rest  in  Walnut  Grove  cem- 
etery. His  home  life,  his  untiring  de 
votion  to  his  mother  and  his  lovalr. 
to  his  friends  and  relatives  was  ad- 
mirable and  those  who  knew  him  cs* 
teemed  him  as  a  peer  among  meo." 

Judge  Coe  is  survived  by  his  irid- 
ow,  Mrs.  Kate  Foote  Coe,  now  oi 
New  Haven,  a  woman  of  channtqg

the  Hartford  Female  Seminary.  In 
1865  she  went  south  and  during  the 
latter  i>art  of  the  Civil  war  taught 
among  the  blacks. 

One  of  her  sisters  was  Harriet 
Ward  Foote,  who  died  in  1885  and 
was  the  first  wife  of  General  Haw- 
ley  who  later  became  United  States 
senator  from  Connecticut.  During 
the  war  she  with  Mrs.  Hawley  joined 
him  at  different  points. 

From  Beaufort,  S.  C,  where  she 
first  taught  the  negroes,  she  went  to 
St  Augustine,  Femandino  and  Jack- 
sonville, Fla.,  in  all  of  which  both 
she  and  Mrs.  Hawley  did  their  ut- 
most in  a  noble,  womanly  way  to  al- 
leviate suffering  humanity  and  en- 
lighten the  helplessly  ignorant.  Af- 
ter the  close  of  the  war  Miss  Foote 
continued  teaching. 

The  work  of  her  pen  has  ever  de- 
lighted  the  reading  public  and  for 
manv  rears  she  has  contributed  fic* 
tion  to  the  best  magazines.  For  fif- 
teen years  she  was  the  Washington 
correspondent  of  the  "Independent" 
and  during  her  extended  stay  at  the 
national  capital  she  secured  the  full- 
est confidence  of  many  of  the  coun- 
try's famous  men  and  women ;  and  to- 
day it  is  probable  that  she  enjoys  as 
wide  an  acquaintance  as  any  woman 
of  Xew  England.  This  acquaintance, 
coupled  with  the  knowledge  of  the 
people  of  this  and  other  countries,  in

which  she  has  traveled  extensively, 
has  been  of  profit  to  the  readers  of 
her  writings. 

While  in  Washington  she  became 
interested  in  the  welfare  of  the  In- 
dians and  after  the  death  of  her  sis- 
ter, Mrs.  Hawley,  who  was  the  first 
president  of  the  Washington  branch 
of  the  National  Indian  Society,  she 
became  the  head  of  that  society.  In 
carrying  out  the  duties  of  the  office 
from  1886  to  1895  she  traveled  exten- 
sively over  sections  of  the  country  in- 
liabited  by  the  Indians,  and  accom- 
plished much  in  establishing  schools 
and  hospitals  for  them. 

In  1886  she  accompanied  Miss 
Alice  Fletcher,  who  had  previously 
done  much  for  the  Indians,  to  Alas* 
ka.  The  party  sailed  from  Port 
Townsend  in  a  schooner  and  made  the 
extended  and  somewhat  perilous  trip 
only  under  difficulties;  and  her  com- 
panions, upon  the  advice  of  Charles 
Dudley  Warner  and  General  Hawley, 
were  sent  by  the  government  to  study 
the  customs  and  needs  of  the  nations. 
It  is  needless  to  state  that  they  were 
greatly  aided  in  the  work  by  Miss 
Foote,  whose  observations  were  also 
helpful  in  her  literary  work. 

Her  extensive  travels  to  other  quar- 
ters of  the  gldbt  have  also  broadened 
her  scope  of  information.  Her  first 
trip  abroad  was  in  1872  when  she 
spent  a  year  in  Europe.  Some  time 
after  her  celebrated  trip  to  Alaska 
she  visited  Japan  in  company  with  the 
daujjhter  of  Moses  Beach,  of  Pecks- 
kill,  N.  Y..  and  while  there  making 
her  headquarters  at  the  American  Lc-

gation,  was  also  entertained  by  the 
wives  of  leading  Japanese  officials, 

including  Baroness  Matsuki,  in  whom 
she  found  a  constant  friend. 

In  her  travels  Mrs.  Coe  has  found 
and  improved  the  opportunity  of 
studying  the  people  also  in  the  Phil- 
ippine Islands,  Mexico,  Jamaica  and 
Trinidad  and  upon  her  marriage  with 
Julge  Andrew  J.  Coe  she  spent  a  win- 
ter in  Caracas,  Venezuela.  Her  mar- 
ried life,  which  was  highly  congenial, 
was  saddened  only  by  the  poor  health 
of  her  husband  which  in  two  years 
was  ended  by  his  death,  a  sad  blow 
from  which  she  has  never  fully  re- 
covered. 

Upon  the  death  of  her  husband  she 
returned  to  Meriden  and  for  some 
time  thereafter  conducted  the  Coe 
farm  from  which  she  held  a  life  in- 
come, but  a  few  years  later  she  sur- 
rendered her  interests  to  the  future 
heirs  and  removed  to  New  Haven, 
taking;  iii>  her  residence  with  her  sis- 
ter, Mrs.  Edward  H.  Jenkins,  whose 
husband,  Dr.  Edward  H.  Jenkins,  is 
director  of  the  Agricultural  Experi- 
ment station  of  Connecticut,  and 
where  slie  has  since  resided  also  with 
her  aged  mother. 

Mrs.  Coe  has  for  many  years  ])een  a 
leader  in  the  Daughters  of  the  Amer- 
ican Revolution.  After  having  been 
one  of  the  charter  members  of  Mary 
Washington  chapter.  D.  A.  R.,  of 
Washington.  D.  C.  she  became  a 
nie!r.1)er  of  Susan  ("arrini^ton  Clarke 
chapter.  D.  A.  K.,  of  Meriden.  Of 
tliis  chapter  she  has  been  the  regent 
since  1895.    She  is  albo  a  member  of 


the  Washington  Ladies'  Qub  ot 
Washington,  D.  C.  Her  interest  in 
Meriden  is  unbounded  from  her  pleu^ 
ant  associations  with  it  and  Merida 
is  proud  to  claim  her  as  its  own. 


JOHN  DENTON  BILLARD. 


John  Denton  Billard,  who  died  oa 
Febniary  i,  1902,  was  one  of  Men* 
den's  most  respected  and  prominent 
citizens.  His  long  life  was  a  success- 
ful one,  and  in  his  death  Meriden  sus- 
tained a  genuine  toss.  Not  only  was 
he  a  shrewd,  broad-minded  man  of 
business;  but  he  possessed  a  personal- 
ity that  won  for  him  many  and  tnie 
friends.  He  did  not  herald  his  good 
deeds,  but  they  were  not  few.  He 
was,  in  fact,  an  unostentatious  Ameri- 
can gentleman. 

John  D.  Billard  was  bom  in  New 
York  City,  February  28,  1819.  At  tbe 
age  of  fourteen  he  removed  to  Say- 
brook,  Conn.  After  attending  scbool 
two  years,  he  was  apprenticed  to  Jere- 
miah Gladwin  to  learn  the  carpenter's 
trade.  At  this  time  he  became  3^ 
quainted  with  a  fellow  employe  of  Mt. 
Gladwin,  George  W,  Lyon,  with  whom 
later  he  was  to  form  the  firm  of  L>oo 
&  Billard  of  Meriden.  When  his  five 
years'  apprenticeship  was  completed 
he  continued  to  work  for  Mr.  Gladwin 
as  foreman,  and  superintended  the 
btiilding  of  some  of  the  best  houses  in 
Essex,  'Deep  River,  Sayjl>rook,  afld 
Lyme. 

In  1847  Mr.  Billard  came  to  Meri- 
den, and  with  Mr.  Lyon  formed  rf«

high  in  ecclesiastical  circles.  Mr. 
Yale's  father  was  an  ensign  in  the 
war  of  1812  and  commissary  of  the 
troops  stationed  along  the  coast  from 
New  Haven  to  Branford.  For  twelve 
years  he  was  postmaster  of  Meriden. 
He  also  represented  the  town  in  the 
General  Assembly  and  held  many  oth* 
er  positions  of  trust. 

Bertrand  L.  Yale  spent  his  early 
life  on  the  farm  to  which  he  was  to 
return  in  later  years.  At  the  age  of 
twenty  he  began  the  manufacture  of 
cigars  which  he  carried  on  for  some 
time  in  a  small  way.  From  cigar 
making  he  turned  his  attention  to  the 
business  of  a  merchant  tailor  and  deal- 
er in  furnishing  goods.  While  thus 
employed  he  received  the  appointment 
of  postmaster,  a  position  of  honor  and 
responsibility  his  father  had  likewise 
held  He  held  office  for  eight  years 
and  fulfilled  the  exacting  duties  with 
credit  to  himself  and  to  the  satisfac- 
tion  of  his  fellow  townsmen. 

Mr/  Yale,  while  still  a  merchant^ 
had  entered  the  fire  and  life  insurance 
business  which  grew  so  rapidly  that 
he  was  compelled  to  dispose  of  his 
store.  He  carried  on  the  insurance 
business  for  about  twenty-five  y^rs. 
The  latter  part  of  his  life  he  spent  up- 
on his  farm. 

Mr,  Yale  became  interested  in  poli- 
tics early  in  his  career,  taking  an  en- 
ergetic part  in  the  work  of  his  party 
in  the  city  and  town.  Later  his  bus- 
iness interests  for  many  years  pre- 
vented so  active  participation.  In 
1888,  however,  he  was  induced  to  ac- 
cept the  nomination  for  alderman.  He 


served  on  the  finance  and  water  com- 
mittees and  in  1889,  in  addition  to 
these,  on  the  committee  on  by-laws., 
During  his  last  term  in  the  couodl. 
he  acted  as  ma}  or  pro  tern, 

Mr.  Yale  was  recognized  as  a  man : 
of  sound  and  conservative  business! 
judgment.   His  financial  ability  «as| 
held  in  liigh  regard,  and  for  manv 
years  he  was  a  director  of  the  Meri- 
den National  Bank,  a  position  he 
ceased  to  hold  only  when  he  declined 
a  re-election. 

Mr.  Yale  had  a  remarkably  reten*| 
ttve  memory.  A  lover  of  sound  and! 
elevating  literature,  he  was  an  author- 
ity on  the  political  and  general  history 
of  our  country. 

Mr.  Yale's  life  furnishes  an  example 
of  success  won  by  industry  and  integ* 
rity  and  a  determination  to  succeed. 

His  boyhood  on  the  farm,  no  doubt, 
helped  to  supply  the  physical  strength 
necessary,  and  the  good  old  New  Eng- 
land stock  from  which  he  sprang,  fur* 
nished  the  inspiration  and  ideals  that  1 
played  no  small  part  in  his  advance- 1 
ment  | 

Mr.  Yale  married  on  February  4. 
1861,  Chloe  Dizabeth  Holconb. 
daughter  of  Honorable  Raynor  Ho!*  i 
comb,  of  East  Granby,  Conn.  Mrs- 
Yale  survives  her  husband.  Their 
only  child,'  Jennie  Holcomb  Vale,  is 
now  the  wife  of  John  B.  Hall,  of 
Meriden.

and  died  July  19,  1887,  was  a  rq>re- 
sentative  of  one  of  the  oldest  and  most 
distinguished  families  of  Connecti** 
cut  He  was  a  son  of  Samuel  Yale, 
third*  and  a  g^ndson  of  Samuel  Yale, 
second,  who  was  the  first  jnanufactur- 
er  in  Meriden. 

In  1 791  he  began  to  make  cut  nails 
in  a  small  shop  which  stood  on  the 
hill  near  the  present  location  of  the 
Center  Congregational  church,  he  and 
his  oldest  son  working  their  machine 
by  hand  and  heading  each  nail  sepa< 
rately.  In  1794  he  commenced  the 
manufacture  of  pewter  buttons,  in 
which  he  was  successful,  employing 
several  hands  and  accumulating  a 
handsome  estate.  The  business 
founded  by  him  developed  into  the 
manufacture  of  pewter  cups,  teapots 
and  other  articles  and  grew  to  large 
proportions.  It  was  continued  after 
his  death  by  his  six  sons,  by  whom 
other  factories  were  established  else- 
where. The  industry  prompted  the 
foundation  of  the  Meriden  Britannia 
Company,  of  which  a  sketch  is  given 
on  other  pages. 

Hiram  A.  Yale  was  a  descendant  in 
the  eighth  generation  of  Thomas  Yale, 
one  pf  the  first  settlers  of  Walling- 
ford,;  who  came  to  New  Haven  from 
England  in  1637,  and  was  one  of  the 
principal  men  of  the  colony.  He  was 
one  of  the  signers  of  the  Plantation 
Covenant,  of  New  Haven,  who,  re- 
moving to  what  is  now  Wallingford, 
filled  there  many  offices  of  public 
trust. 

The  father- of  Hiram  A.  and  Sam- 
uel Yale  final  1}'  settled  in  Meriden  and 


continued  the  japanned  tin  and  bri- 
tantiia  business,  having  a  shop  for 
some  time  on  Liberty  street  and  later 
at  the  corner  of  East  Main  and  Broad 
streets.  He  retired  from  business  in 
1858. 

Hiram  A.  Yale's  mother  was  La- 
minta  Clark,  daughter  of  Jahled  and 
Esther  (Law)  Qark,  a  lineal  descend- 
ant of  Jonathan  Law,  governor  ot 
Connecticut  from  1742  to  1751. 
Jahleel  Clark  and  his  eldest  son  were 
in  the  battle  of  Bennington  while  Mrs. 
Clark  and  her  younger  sons  were  at 
Lanesboro,  Mass.,  gathering  in  the 
wheat  harvest,  a  duty  which  devolved 
on  many  a  mother  during  the  Revo- 
lutionary war. 

Hiram  Yale  was  educated  in  the 
schools  of  Meriden,  fitted  foe  collie 
at  the  Episcopal  Academy,  of  Chesh- 
ire ;  entered  Washington,  now  Trinit)' 
College,  at  Hartford,  in  1842,  and 
graduated  with  the  degree  of  A.  B. 
in  1846.  During  his  young  manhood 
he  was  associated  with  his  father  in 
the  manufacturing  business  and  was 
at  times  his  traveling  representative. 
After  his  father's  decease  in  1864,  up- 
on him  devolved  the  management  of 
the  estate  which  included  much  busi- 
ness property,  besides  a  farm,  all  of 
which  he  managed  successfully.  Mr. 
Yale  represented  Meriden  in  the  state 
legislature  in  185 1.  In  1870  he  was 
elected  to  the  common  council  and 
was  for  four  years  a  member  of  the 
finance  committee.  He  was  also  one 
of  the  trustees  of  the  Connecticut 
School  for  Boys  from  1873  to  1877 
and  for  many  years  one  of  the  direct-

ors  of  the  Mcriden  National  and  also 
of  the  Meriden  Savings  bank.  Mr. 
Yale  was  one  of  the  vestrymen  of  St 
Andrew's  Episcopal  church,  of  which 
he  was  both  a  liberal  supporter  and  a 
member  held  in  high  regard. 

In  1866  Mr.  Yale  married  Miss 
Mary  Catharine  Welles,'  of  Wethers- 
field,  daughter  of  John  Welles  (who 
traces  his  ancestry  back  to  Gov. 
Thomas  Welles)  and  Mary  W.  Wol- 
cott,  a  descendant  of  Henry  Wolcott, 
one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Windsor. 
He  is  survived  by  his  widow  and  one 
daughter,  Mary  Welles,  both  of  whom 
are  active  members  of  St.  Andrew's 
church,  and  belong  to  the  Duu^litcrs 
of  the  American  Revolution.  The 
former  has  been  also  one  of  the  man- 
agers of  the  Curtis  Home  from  its 
opening  and  president  of  the  board 
since  the  death,  in  1893,  of  Miss  Celia 
Curtis,  daughter  of  the  founder. 


HENRY  T.  WILCOX. 


Henry  Truman  Wilcox  (deceased) 
was  bom  in  Wcstbrook,  Conn.,  Feb. 
~,  1811.  He  removed  to  Meriden  in 
1829,  entering  the  anploy  of  Julius 
Pratt  &  Co.,  comb  manufacturers. 
The  same  year  he  united  with  the 
Congregational  church,  and  remained 
a  faithful  member  as  long  as  he  lived. 

On  May  9,  1832,  Mr,  Wilcox  mar- 
ried Elizabeth  White  Scovil,  dautjhter 
ni  Eleazer  Scovil.  and  a  qrcat-irrand- 
ciaughter  of  Janics  Scovil,  who  settled 
in  Meriden  about  I/Jj, 

In  7^^3^>.  Mr.  Wilcox  bought  the 
piece  01  land  on  the  Old  Colony  Road 


on  which  the  family  has  lived  since 
1837.  His  house  then  stood  at  the 
northeast  corner  of  said  lot,  and 
at  the  southeast  comer  he  built  a 
small  shop  about  1845,  and  manufac- 
tured coffee  mills,  spring  balances, 
steelyards,  bit  braces  and  door- 
knockers. This  shop  burned  down  in 
185 1,  and  a  second  shop,  built  on  the 
same  site,  was  burned  in  1853. 


HENRY  S.  WILCOX. 

Henry  Scovil  Wilcox,  son  of  Henry 
T.  Wilcox,  was  born  in  Meriden  Jan- 
uary 4,  1835,  and  received  his  educa- 
tion at  the  Old  Road  school  and  the 
West  Meriden  Institute — ^the  latter  lo- 
cated  on  the  site  of  the  present  Church 
street  school.  Before  leaving  school 
he  was  employ  ed  in  bis  father's  shops 
part  of  the  time  and  was  bookkeep- 
er there  in  1848. 

In  1854  H.  T.  and  H.  S.  Wilcox 
were  associated  with  the  Meriden 
Hardware  Co.,  located  on  the  site 
now  occupied  by  the  M.  B.  Schcnck 
Co.'s  factory.  This  shop  also  suf- 
fered from  fire,  after  which  Messrs. 
Wilcox  retired  from  manufacturing 
and  in  1855  bought  of  Couch  & 
Blakeslee  a  grocery  store  located  at 
the  south  corner  of  Colony  and  Bri- 
tannia streets.  There  they  conduct- 
ed a  prosperous  business  under  the 
firm  name  of  H.  T.  Wilcox  &  Co. 

In  1857,  they  moved  the  grocery

mon  Andrews'  flour  and  feed  store. 
On  March  g,  1864,  the  building  was 
burned  down,  whereupon  H.  T.  Wil- 
cox &  Co.  bought  the  land  and  ruins 
of  the  old  building  and  erected  the 
present  block  in  1865,  which  H.  S. 
Wilcox  sold  to  Mcrriam  Post,  G.  A. 
R.,  in  1895.  Upon  the  completion  of 
this  block,  B.  P.  Foote»  drug  and 
hardware  merchant,  rented  the  north 
store  and  H.  T.  Wilcox  &  Co.,  con- 
ducted the  grocery  business  in  the 
south  store. 

About  February  i,  1867,  H.  T.  Wil- 
cox &  Co.  bought  the  drug  and  hard- 
ware business  of  B.  P.  Foote.  Ten 
years  later  they  sold  the  hardware 
business  to  Church  &  Sprague,  and 
retained  the  drugs  together  with  man- 
ufacturers' supplies. 

H.  T.  Wilcox  died  January  7, 1885, 
after  which  event,  H.  S.  Wilcox  con- 
tinued the  business  until  March  15, 
1899,  when  as  his  health  became  im- 
paired, he  sold  out  to  Edwin  A.  Wat- 
rous,  after  having  occupied  the  same 
store  thirty-two  years. 

In  public  matters  H.  T.  Wilcox  held 
the  office  of  town  treasurer  from  1863 
to  1874,  and  H.  S.  Wilcox  held  the 
same  position  from  1878  to  1879. 
The  latter  also  served  as  councilman, 
as  assessor,  and  as  a  member  of  the 
board  of  compensation  and  the  board 
of  relief. 

In  t886  he  was  chosen  a  trustee  of 
the  Meriden  Savings  Bank,  and  the 
year  following  a  director  of  the  same 
institution. 

Mr.  Wilcox  united  with  the  First 
Congregational  church  in  1852,  and 


at  various  times  was  chosen  to  fill  die 
offices  of  secretary  and  treasurer  of 
the  Sunday  school,  also  of  the  Ecck$> 
iastical  society.  In  1889  he  was  eka* 
ed  a  deacon,  which  office  he  held  tiO 
the  date  of  his  death,  December  S, 
1900. 

Mr.  Wilcox  married  December  t. 
1869,  Jane  £.  Merriman  (daughter  ol 
Ira  and  Elizabeth  Merriman),  wlio^ 
with  his  son,  Albert  H.  Wilcox,  sur-

WILLIAM  G.  WARXOCK 


William  George  Wamock,  a  sliik- 
ing  example  of  the  self-made  man  of 
affairs  of  this  vicinity,  one  of  the 
largest  taxpayers  of  Meriden,  was 
bom  April  25,  1849.  His  parents, 
poor  but  worthy  people,  made  their 
home  in  Meriden  when  he  was  three 
years  old,  and  taught  their  children 
to  be  honest  and  industrious.  Omog 
to  the  somewhat  straitened  ciicoin* 
stances  of  the  family,  the  educatioa 
of  .our  subject,  obtained  under  diifi* 
culties,  was  interrupted  at  the  age  of 
nine  years  when  he  left  the  East  Mer- 
iden district  day  school  and  went  to 
work  on  a  farm.  With  an  ambitioo 
and  determination  to  get  an  educa- 
tion,  later  while  working  days  at  his 
trade  in  the  factory  of  the  Meriden 
Britannia  Co.,  he  studied  evenings, 
until  by  self-denial  and  prudence  be 
had  saved  enough  of  his  earnings  to 
take  a  course  at  Potter  &  Hammond's 
Business  College,  Hartford.  Later 
he  read  law  evenings  in  the  office  of 
the  late  Cook  Lounsbury.  At  nine-

teen,  with  his  brother  the  late  J.  C 
Warnock,  afterwards  head  salesman 
of  the  Meriden  Britannia  Company,  he 
started  the  Chicago  Silver  Plate  Co., 
now  the  Aurora  Silver  Plate  Com- 
pany, one  of  the  most  prosperous  con* 
cems  in  the  west,  competing  with 
Meriden's  main  line  of  manufacture. 
Two  years  later,  in  1870,  the  War- 
nock  Brothers  sold  their  interests  in 
Chicago  advantageously  and  returned 
to  Meriden,  resuming  their  important 
positions  in  the  Britannia  factory. 
His  brother,  who  had  accumulated  no 
inconsiderable  fortune  and  acquired  a 
high  standing  in  the  community,  died 
at  the  age  of  34,  beloved  and  respect- 
ed bv  all  who  knew  him. 

w 

William  G.  Wamock  gradually  be- 
came interested  in  real  estate  brok- 
erage and  for  many  years  has  devoted 
his  entire  attention  to  the  care  and 
improvement  of  local  property  in 
which  his  keen  foresight,  sound  judg 
ment  and  careful  movements  have 
made  him  unusually  successful.  His 
knowledge  of  property  values  has  for 
some  years  been  much  relied  upon  by 
others  who  have  sought  his  advice. 
Perhaps  one  of  the  most  conclusive 
instances  of  his  judgment  was  his 
erection  of  the  Wamock  block  on 
West  Main  street  in  which  is  situated 
the  Hotel  Bloxham.  This  stately 
business  block  has  proven  a  wise  and 
profitable  real  estate  investment  and 
was  built  by  Mr.  Warnock  in  1887, 
under  his  own  personal  supervision, 
lie  furnishing  material  and  labor. 

Mr.  Warnock  having  lar^c  inter- 
ests in  this  locality  and  being  natural- 


ly possessed  of  public  spirits  takes 
little  pride  in  the  rapid  progress  ot 
Meriden.  Among  his  real  estate  pco- 
sessions  is  what  was  formerly  knovn 
as  the  John  Yale  farm,  situated  in 
North  Colony  Road. 

Mr.  Wamock  is  a  stockholder  in 
several  enterprises  but  has  never 
sought  prominence  in  public  life,  be- 
ing devoted  entirely  to  his  busine>> 
and  his  home.  His  love  for  gooJ 
horse  flesh  has  ever  been  his  one 
weakness  and  he  has  alwa>s  owned 
well-bred  equines;  and  in  yeais 
gone  by  he  has  had  in  his  stables  sev- 
eral celebrated  trotting  horses. 

He  was  married  June  2,  1885,  to 
Miss  Avilla  M.  Tinker,  formerly  as- 
sistant principal  of  the  Church  street 
school,  of  Meriden,  in  whom  he  has 
a  most  congenial,  intelligent  and  able 
helpmate.  Her  father,  the  late  Wil- 
liam R.  Tinker,  removed  to  Vineiand 
N.  J.,  in  1884,  where  he  died  March 
13,  1905.  He  was  well  known  i« 
musical  circles  and  was,  in  his  day. 
a  skillful  pla)  er  of  the  violin  and  a 
vocalist  of  note,  which  talents  were 
inherited  in  the  fullest  degree  by  his 
children. 

His  daughter,  Mrs.  Wamock,  b^ 
fore  her  marriage,  was  one  of  Men- 
den's  most  promising  vocalists  and 
her  well-trained  contralto  voice  was 
often  heard  in  unprofessional  con- 
certs and  private  entertainments. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Warnock  have  been 
blessed  with  the  following  childrca:

hi^^  trade  of  blacksmith  in  his  native 
place  until  1837  when  he  removed  to 
Soutlibridge,  Massachusetts,  where  he 


started  a  machine  shop  in  a  place  now 
called  Saundersdale.  He  retired  in 
1857,  but  continued  to  live  in  South- 
bridge  until  he  died,  Augu.^t  7.  1893, 
respected  and  beloved  by  all  who 
knew  him.  His  wife.  Clementine 
Cheney,  was  the  daughter  of  Captain 
Joel  Cheney,  of  Southbridi^e.  an<!  tiled 
in  1871.  They  had  five  children,  of 
whom  Edwin  was  the  oldest. 

Edwin  Cady  received  the  ordinary 
education  in  the  public  schools  of  his 
native  place,  followed  b\  a  course  of 
study  in  Wilbrahain  Acadeni\.  Aflcr 
leaving  school  he  learned  the  trade  of 
a  machinist  in  his  father's  shop,  and 
in  a  factor)  at  W  orcester,  Massachu- 
setts. In  June.  1856,  he  went  to  Buf- 
falo, Xew  York,  where  he  entered  the 
employ  of  George  I'arr.  as  su])erinten- 
dent  of  his  factory,  and  where  ho  re- 
mained two  years.  Owing  to  the  fail- 
ure of  Mr.  I'arr.  he  lost  this  position 
and  soon  accepted  one  with  the  lirm  of 
Pitts  Bros.,  nianulaclurers  of  thresh- 
ing machines.  Tn  1859  he  returned  to 
Soutlibridge  and  after  two  years  more, 
in  1 86 1,  he  entered  the  government 
armory  to  engage  in  gun  making.  He 
tilled  this  position  acce})tably  for  seven 
years,  when  he  moved  to  South  Mer-

CHARLES  N.  WINSLOVV. 


The  death  of  Charles  N.  Winslow 
on  December  29,  i'/)4,  at  the  age  of 
60  t()(jk  iiuin  Meriden's  daily  life  a 
good  citizen  and  a  trusted  business 
man.  Mr.  Winslow  had  been  iden- 
tified with  the  business  life  of  the 
city  for  forty  years,  during  which  time 
he  had  been  agent  for  the  Meriden 
branch  of  the  Adams  Express  Com- 
pany. He  was  the  oldest  agent  in  the 
New  England  division  of  the  com- 
pany and  was  justly  regarded  as  one 
of  the  most  faithful  and  efficient. 

Mr.  Winslow  was  bom  in  New- 
port, R.  I.  After  completing  his 
school  career  he  was  employed  in  the 
office  of  the  Adams  Express  Com- 
pany, in  Bridgeport,  to  which  city  his 
family  had  removed.  After  two 
years  he  was  appointed  agent  in  Mer- 
iden,  which  position  he  held  until  his 
death.  During  the  forty  years  he 
served  in  Meriden  the  office  grew 
steadily  in  importance,  a  fact  due  in 
no  small  degree  to  his  energy  and  bus- 
iness capacity.  He  ever  had  the  in- 
terests of  the  cfompany  at  heart  and 
he  was  recognized  as  a  progressive 
and  at  the  same  time  strictly  conscien- 
tious executive. 

Mr.  Winslow  served  as  alderman 
in  the  Meriden  Court  of  Common 
Council  in  1880  and  1 881.  That  was 
the  only  public  office  he  ever  held,  al- 
though urged  on  more  than  one  occa- 
sion to  accept  political  honors.  P'ar 
from  seeking  notoriety,  he  sought 
rather  to  devote  himself  to  his  home, 
his  business  and  his  church.

Mr.  Winslow  was  closely  identified 
with  the  Center  Congregational 
:Jiurch,  serving  as  deacon,  member  of 
standing  committee  and  of  the  Ec- 
:Iesiastical  society's  committee.  For 
^ears  he  taught  in  the  Sunday 
icliool.  Of  him  his  pastor.  Rev.  J. 
H.  Grant,  wrote:  ''Mr.  Winslow  was 
L  pillar  of  the  church  in  ^e  fine  old- 
oshioned  sense.  Next  to  his  family 
ame  the  church  in  his  affection  and 
n  his  loyal  devotion.  No  succession 
>f  ministers  in  any  dnirch,  I  venture 
70  say,  was  ever  gfiven  a  more  gra- 
:ious,  practical  and  steadfast  loyalty 
han  he  gave  his  ministers;  nor  has 
i  generation  of  members  in  Center 
Jiurch  often  had  before  its  eyes  an 
!xample  of  such  fine  courtesy,  honor 
ind  integrity  as  a  man,  a  counselor 
)f  such  ripe  and  trusted  judgment,  a 
"hristian  of  such  piety,  and  a  cluirch- 
nan  of  such  utter  fidelity  to  the  wel- 
are  of  his  church." 

Ht'  was  a  member  of  no  fraternal 
)rganization.  In  the  year  1874  Mr. 
-Vinslow  married  Miss  Hcinictta  K. 
Baldwin,  of  Meriden.  who  snrvives

y-one  years  was  at  750  Uroad  street.

)f  I.eCrand  P.evins  took  from  Meri- 
Icn  one  of  her  best  known  and  most 
liljlily  respected  citizens,  one  who  for 
learlv  twenty  vears  was  prominent  in 
he  public  life  of  the  city,  and  iluring 
bat  period  earned  the  esteem  of  all.

Mr.  Bevins  was  bom  in  Meriden 
February  2,  1839,  ^  0^ 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Alvin  Bevins.  He 
lived  in  his  native  town  until  he  was 
nineteen  years  of  age,  when  he  went 
to  Ohio,  from  which  state  he  enlist* 
ed  and  was  first  sergeant  of  Co.  E 
in  the  Twenty-ninth  Ohio  Volunteers, 
leaving  a  position  of  railroad  ficreman 
to  enter  the  service  of  his  couittry  at 
the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War. 
His  record  as  a  soldier  from  Bull  Run 
to  Appomattox  was  a  splendid  one. 
At  the  close  of  the  war  he  returned  to 
his  old  home  and  entered  the  employ 
of  the  Meriden  Silver  Plate  Company, 
with  which  concern  he  remained  un- 
til he  was  elected  first  selectman  of 
the  town  in  October,  1887. 

Mr.  Bevins  was  most  devoted  to  his 
family,  advancinf^  years  only  adding 
to  the  pleasure  he  found  in  the  fam- 
ily circle.  In  1S87  Mr.  Bevins  was 
elected  selectman  on  the  Democratic 
ticket  and  held  the  otTice  continuously 
tmttl  October,  iSf)^],  m.iking  a  record 
ne\er  surpassed  by  any  Meriden  gov- 
ernment official.  Under  his  care- 
ful supervision  a  town  tax  of  eight 
mills  was  the  higliest  rate  that  the 
town  \\a<  obliged  to  make  during 
his  incumbency  of  office.  He  had 
previously  served  the  city  from  the 
First  ward  as  coiuicilman  and 
alderman,  being  mayor  pro  tern 
under  Mayor  C.  H.  S.  Davis. 
After  retiring  from  the  office  of  se- 
lectman, Mr.  Devins  was  a  member 
of  the  board  of  asse^.^ors  for  five 
years,  at  one  time  being  its  chairman.

He  was  re-elected  assessor  in  the  Oc- 
to])er  preceding  his  death. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  special 
committee  that  revised  the  assessment 
of  Meriden  property,  making  out  a 
new  list  at  which  real  estate  was  put 
at  its  market  value. 

Mr.  Bevins  was  a  conservative  man 
in  all  afi^irs,  both  public  and  private, 
and  could  always  be  counted  upon 
to  stand  for  the  best  interests  of  the 
town  and  city.  He  was  a  candidate 
for  the  Democratic  nomination  for 
sheriff  at  one  time.  In  politics  he 
was  one  of  the  old  school  Democrats, 
whose  devotion  to  party  was  unwav- 
ering at  all  times. 

Mr.  Bevins  was  for  a  number  of 
years  before  his  death  a  trustee  of 
the  Meriden  Savings  Bank.  In  fra- 
ternal circles,  he  had  held  membership 
in  Merriam  Post,  G.  A.  R.,  of  which 
he  was  at  one  time  a  trustee. '  He  was 
one  of  the  organizers  of  Lincoln  Com- 
mand, U.  V.  U.,  and  held  its  highest 
office,  that  of  colonel.  He  was  also 
prominent  in  the  state  orgranizations. 
He  was  at  the  time  of  his  death  treas' 
urer  of  Alpha  Lodge,  Knights  of  Hon- 
or. He  was  also  a  member  of  Cen- 
ter Lodge,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. ;  Silver  City 
Lodge,  A.  O.  U.  W. ;  Pacific  Lodge, 
I.  O.  O.  F.,  and  Center  Congrega- 
tional church.  iT. 

Mr.  iBevins  was  deeply  interested  in 
school  matters  and  for  several '  years 
was  chairman  of  the  Comer  School 
District  Committee,  before  the  con- 
solidation of  the  districts  took  place. 
He  managed  the  affairs  of  the  large 
district  most  judiciously  and  had  the 


confidence  of  the  majority  of  the  tax 
payers,  who  insisted  upon  his  retain- 
ing the  office  of  chairman  year  after 
year.  He  was  also  prominently  men- 
tioned for  other  political  honors  and 
was  a  candidate  for  the  legislature. 

Shortly  after  leaving  the  army,  Mr. 
Bevins  married,  May  17,  1865,  Miss 
Jane  L.  Stiles,  daughter  of  Captain  li 
H.  Stiles,  of  North  Haven,  and  be^ 
sides  his  widow  at  the  time  of  his  la- 
mented decease,  was  survived  by  three 
children :  Miss  Edith  L.  Bevins,  prin- 
cipal of  the  Willow  street  school: 
Miss  Anna  L.  Bevins  and  Attorney 
Walter  L.  Bevins,  whose  death,  how- 
ever, followed  a  few  days  after  tint 
of  his  father.

A  most  promising  life  was  cut  short 
when  on  January  18,  1905,  Walter 
L.  Bevins  died  of  pneumonia  con- 
tracted while  caring  for  his  father. 
LeGrand  Bevins.  who  died  of  the 
same  disease  January  12.  Seldom 
has  the  death  of  so  young  a  man 
caused  such  a  genuine  grief  in  a  com- 
munity. Not  only  was  it  particularly 
sad,  coming  so  soon  after  that  of  lus 
father ;  but  Meriden  citizens  fdt  that 
Mr.  Bevins  was  a  young  man  who 
could  ill  be  spared.  He  had  crowded 
much  into  his  brief  career  and  had 
made  for  himself  an  enviable  position 
in  the  life  of  the  city. 

Mr.  Bevins  was  born  in  Meriden. 
August  4,  1876,  in  the  house  in  which 
he  died,  and  except  for  a  short  time 
when  he  resided  in  Winsted  had  lived

ill  Mcridcn  all  his  life.  He  attended 
the  Corner  school,  ami  later  the  Hitjh 
school,  graduatiiifj  m  1895.  W'hiic 
there  he  was  the  first  husiness  mana- 
ger of  the  schoul  paper,  The  Pennant, 
and  a  member  of  the  Alpha  Delta 
Sigma.  He  was  also  organizer  of  the 
Cho  Dehating  Club,  a  school  organi- 
zation, and  after  graduating,  he  went 
to  W'insted,  and  for  considerably  over 
a  year  was  e<litor  of  the  Cificen 
there.  He  always  evinced  a  liking 
for  newspaper  work,  and  had  unusual 
talent  in  that  direction,  writing  nuieh 
for  the  local  papers  until  his  law  prac- 
tice became  too  engrossing.  Leaving 
Winstod.  having  deeitknl  to  adopt  the 
legal  profession,  he  entered  the  Yale 
I^w  School.  During  his  attendance 
there  he  was  editor  of  the  )'alc  Shin- 
gle and  was  a  student  there  when  the 
Spanish  War  broke  out.  With  the 
spirit  of  patriotism  imbibed  from  his 
father  and  ancestors  who  had  served 
their  country  in  the  Revolution,  he 
enlisted  in  Company  L,  First  Infantry, 
and  w^as  made  orderly  sergeant.  He 
served  with  that  company  tmtil  peace 
was  declared,  and  then  resnmed  his 
law  studies  at  Yale,  graduating  in 
1900.  Jn  October  of  that  year  he 
opened  his  office  in  Meriden,  meeting 
with  deserved  success.  He  was  the 
first  captain  of  the  local  Spanish  War 
Veterans'  .Association,  an  active  mem- 
ber of  C.  L.  Uphani  Camp,  Sons  of 
Veterans,  and  was  the  promoter  of 
Company  L,  Second  Infantry.  He 
was  chosen  first  lieutenant  of  this  or- 
tranization,  having  declined  to  serve 
as  captain. 


He  had  been  for  some  )ears  prior 
to  his  death  actively  identitied  with  the 
Center  Congregational  C  luirch,  and 
had  been  chosen  deacon,  an  unusual 
honor  for  one  of  his  youth.  Death 
prevented  his  fulfilling  the  duties  of 
the  office.  He  was  at  one  time  su- 
perintendent of  the  Smiday  .School, 
and  was  the  organizer  of  the  Lyceum, 
a  successful  literary  and  debating  so- 
ciety of  the  parish. 

Mr.  Bevins  was  the  attorney  for 
the  Meriden  Business  Men's  Associa- 
tion, and  served  it  most  efficiently. 
He  was  president  of  the  Young  Men's 
Christian  Association  and  his  deep  in- 
terest in  the  work,  and  his  executive 
ability  made  him  one  of  the  best  pres- 
idents the  association  ever  had.  He 
w^as  a  member  of  Center  Lodge,  .\.  F. 
&  A.  M.,  the  Arcanum  Club,  and  the 
Meriden  Wheel  Club. 

In  ijolitics,  Mr.  Bevins,  like  his 
father,  was  a  Democrat.  He  served 
his  party  as  councilman  and  alderman 
from  the  First  Ward,  and  in  the  elec- 
tion in  the  fall  before  his  death,  was 
the  nominee  for  representative  to  the 
general  assemlilv. 

Attornev  Bevins  was  one  of  the 
best  known  and  most  highly  respected 
yoimg  T^irn  in  Meriden  and  none  had 
a  brighter  future.  He  was  able,  ener- 
getic, honest  and  reliable  in  every  re- 
spect. He  was  the  soul  of  honor,  a 
most  faithful  and  obedient  son,  de- 
voted to  his  home,  taking  interest  in 
matters  that  offered  rational  amuse- 
ment, and  thoroughly  devoted  to  any- 
thing that  tended  to  help  or  advance 
his  native  town.

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


JOHN  EDWARD  DURAND. 


Among  those  who  were  prominent 
in  the  affairs  of  Meriden  must  be 
reckoned  John  Edward  Durand,  de- 
ceased. Mr.  Durand  was  a  native  of 
Cheshire  where  he  was  bom  April  9, 
1833,  one  of  a  family  of  fourteen  chil- 
dren. His  father,  George  A.,  was  of 
French  descent  and  his  mother,  Eu- 
nice, a  member  of  the  Clark  family. 

Mr.  Durand's  school  life  was  short. 
At  the  age  of  fourteen  the  desire  to 
take  his  small  part  in  the  great  busi- 
ness of  life  seized  him  and  he  entered 
the  employ  of  his  brother  who  was  a 
carpenter  and  joiner  in  Meriden. 
During  his  six  years  of  manual  la- 
bor the  longing  to  secure  more  edu- 
cation took  possession  of  him  and 
was  manifest  in  his  frugality,  which 
enabled  liim  to  attend  a  select  school 
in  the  Hanover  district  for  a  year. 

While  employed  in  a  sash  and  blind 
factory  in  W'atcrbury  there  came  to 
Mr,  Diirand  tliat  urgent  call  to  de- 
fend tlie  Union,  and  it  was  the  pleas- 
ure of  this  loyal  son  and  good  patriot 
to  exchange  the  instruments  of  peace 
for  those  of  war.  Me  eti listed  as  a 
soldier  in  Company  C,  14th  Conn.  V. 
L,  and  was  in  some  of  the  t'lercest 
conflicts  of  the  Rebel liun.  taking  part 
in  the  battles  of  South  Mouniain.  Ati- 
tietam,  Fredericksburg  and  r.elle 
Plain  Landing,  wiiere  he  was  wound- 
ed. 

Returning  to  his  old  employers  he 
remained  with  them  until  1867,  then 


worked  in  a  clock  factory  and  came 
to  Meriden  in  1868.  He  was  stock- 
holder,  secretary  and  treasurer  of  die 
Steam  Mill  Lumber  Company  and  its 
superintendent  for  three  years. 

He  also  traveled  extensiveh 
throughotit  tiie  state  selling  drugs 
and  medicines  for  C  P.  Colt  until 
possibilities  of  the  real  estate  business 
claimed  his  attention  and  for  twenty 
years  in  his  capacity  as  agent  for  Hod. 
Ratdiffe  Hicks,  lawyer  and  real  estate 
dealer,  he  was  thoroughly  convers- 
ant with  all  the  vital  interests  con- 
nected with  buying  and  selling  lands 
and  buildings. 

Amid  the  laborious  cares  of  his 
daily  life  Mr.  Durand  found  time  to 
cultivate  the  religious  side  of  his  na- 
ture. He  was  converted  and  joine«i 
the  Center  Baptist  church  at  the  age 
of  fifteen  years;  but  on  his  return 
from  Waterbury  he  became  a  member 
of  the  Main  Street  Baptist  churdi. 

Mr.  Durand  was  connected  vn^ 
Meridian  Lodge,  No.  77,  F.  and 
A.  M. ;  Merriam  Post,  No.  8.  G.  A. 
R.,  of  Meriden;  the  Knights  of  the 
Golden  Eagle,  and  Hawlcy  Division 
of  the  Sons  of  Temperance  1  l  artford 
He  was  the  first  pension  agent  in 
Meriden  and  for  years  a  notary  pub- 
lic.

ana  Sophia  Root,  daughter  of  a  land- 
owner  and  farmer  in  W'auibury. 
She  survives  her  husband  and  resides 
in  this  city.  lie  died  July  29,  18991

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


CHARLES  A.  KING. 


Charles  Alonzo  King,  superinten- 
dent of  the  gun  shop  of  the  Parker 
Bros.,  and  one  of  the  police  commis- 
sioners of  Meriden,  was  bom  in 
Franklin,  New  London  county.  Conn., 
February  lo,  1837.  He  received  his 
education  in  the  schools  of  Franklin. 
Lebanon  and  Norwich,  and  in  the 
last  named  city  learned  his  trade  as  a 
machinist  in  the  works  of  J.  S.  and  S. 
J.  Mowry.  He  worked  at  his  trade 
next  in  th^  machine  shops  of  Tracy 
&  Brand  where  were  manufactured 
whaling  g^ns  and  projectiles  for  kill- 
ing whales.  His  next  employment 
during  his  younger  manhood  was  at 
the  works  of  Pratt  &  Johnson,  manu- 
facturers of  sewing  machines  in  Mid- 
dletown,  Conn.,  afterwards  securing  a 
more  lucrative  position  in  the  factory 
of  the  Wheeler  &  Wilson  Sewing  Ma- 
chine Company,  at  Bridgeport. 

At  the  age  of  twenty-five  he  en- 
gaged in  business  for  himself  at  Mid- 
dlefield,  forming  a  partnership  with 
Otis  A.  Smith  and  at  the  breaking  out 
of  the  Civil  war  leased  the  old  John- 
son  &  Pratt  works  and  manufactured 
by  contract  for  the  government,  parts 
of  the  regular  standard  government 
rifles  that  were  used  in  the  Rebellion 
by  the  Union  army.  This  partnership 
was  dissolved  in  1865. 

Immediately  after  the  war  Mr.  King 
devoted  his  attention  to  designing 
small  models  of  the  various  cannon, 
Columbiads,  Dahlgrens,  Rodmans, 
etc.,  used  during  the  strife  and  which, 
it  was  thought  by  General  Hawley 


and  others,  were  to  be  continued  in 
use  at  the  U.  S.  armories  for  militar)' 
drill  throughout  the  country.  With 
the  proffered  financial  support  of 
these  moneyed  men  a  corporation  was 
formed  at  Hartford  of  which  Mr. 
King  was  the  practical  head.  The  en> 
terprise  failed  of  any  great  success, 
however,  owing  to  the  lack  of  sup- 
port accorded,  at  the  time,  to  the  mil- 
itary necessities  of  the  various  states. 
There  was  sufficient  demand,  never- 
theless, to  keep  the  plant  busy  until 
1867  when  Mr.  King  was  called  to 
Springfield,  Mass.,  to  become  super- 
intendent  of  the  Smith  &  Wesson  Fire 
Arms  works,  it  being  the  ambition  of 
that  company  to  put  on  the  market  a 
higher  grade  of  goods  than  they  had 
formerly  manufactured.  In  Mr.  King 
the  company  soon  found  they  had  a 
man  who  could  bring  about  the  de 
sired  results  and  the  world-wide  fame 
of  the  Smith  &  Wesson  revolvers  is 
due  to  his  ingenuity  as  a  designer  and 
practical  thoroughness  as  a  superin- 
tendent He  designed  the  army  siie 
revolver  now  largely  used  in  the  Rus- 
sian and  other  armies  and  patented 
and  sold  to  Smith  &  Wesson  the  im- 
provements that  made  the  weapon 
the  leading  revolver  of  the  world  and 
as  such  it  is  still  recognized. 

Mr.  King  was  called  to  Meriden  itr 
1874  to  assume  charge  of  the  Parker 
Bros.'  gun  shops.  Since  coming  to 
this  city  Mr.  King  has  devoted  hi^ 
entire  efforts  to  the  making  and  im- 
provement of  the  Parker  shot  gun 
which,  under  his  watchful  eye  and 
studious  brain,  has  for  many  years

of  Aldermen  from  the  Third  ward, 
where  he  looked  well  after  the  inter- 
ests, not  only  of  his  constituents,  but 
the  whole  city.  He  was  appointed  to 
fill  an  unexpired  term  in  the  board  of 
jiolice  commissioners  in  1903  by  May-

full  term.

CORNELIUS  W.  CAHILL. 


Among  those  who  may  be  said  to 
have  amassed  a  competency  in  the 
legitimate  business  life  of  Meriden. 
outside  of  manufacturing,  Cornelius 
W.  Cahill  is  one  of  many. 

He  was  born  in  Ireland.  Februarv

courteous  attention  to  ] matrons  he 
made  himself  not  only  valuable  to  h:s 
employer  but  popular  with  a  large 
number  of  customers.  W  hen  he  wr^^ 
offered  a  more  lucrative  position  in 
the  same  line  of  business  he  ma^it" 
up  his  mind  that  he  could  be  as  much

354  A  CENTTOY 

ISAAC  CHAUNCEY  LEWIS. 


The  late  Hon.  Isaac  Chauncey  Lew- 
is, whose  strong  personality  was  felt 
in  almost  every  walk  of  life,  was  one 
of  the  most  public-spirited  men  that 
have  ever  been  a  part  of  Meriden's 
history.  He  was  born  October  19, 
1812,  in  this  city,  and  was  the  son  of 
Isaac  and  Esther  (Beaumont)  Lew- 
is, his  first  American  ancestor,  Wil- 
liam Lewis,  coming  from  London  in 
the  ship  Lion  arrivinj^  at  Boston  Sep- 
tember 16,  IU32.  He  settled  in 
*'Newtown,"  now  Cambridge,  Mass., 
in  the  summer  of  1636  and  was,  lat- 
er, one  of  a  company  who  became  the 
first  settlers  of  Hartford,  Coini.  His 
name  is  inscriljed  on  the  nionninent 
erected  by  the  Ancient  Burying 
Ground  Association  of  Hartford,  in 
the  memory  of  the  first  settlers  of 
that  town. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  is  a  de- 
scendant in  the  eighth  generation. 
His  father,  Isaac  Lewis,  was  born  in 
W'allingford  and  married  Esther 
Beaumont.  He  removed  to  Meriden 
where,  as  an  inn-kccper  and  later  a 
merclianl.  he  was  held  in  high  esteem 
in  the  community.  He  was  chosen 
town  clerk  in  1S06  soon  after  tiic  day 
of  Meriden's  incorporation  as  a  town 
and  held  that  office  until  his  death  in 
1823. 

His  son,  Isaac  C.  Lewis,  had  but 
one  term  of  school  alter  liis  father's 
death,  barring  an  occasional  attend- 
ance at  evening  school.  Altiiough 
only  eleven  \ears  of  age  at  that  time 
he  secured  cmplo)  ment  on  farms  and

in  Stores  until  he  entered  the  estab- 
lishment of  Charles  and  Hiram  Yale, 
manufacturers  of  britannia  ware  in 
Wallingford,  in  his  fifteenth  yea:. 
From  then  on  Mr.  Lewis  engaged  in 
business  several  times  until  i^^i, 
when  he  bought  the  Fordred  fanr. 
about  a  mile  east  of  Meriden  center. 
He  built  a  factory  there  and  earricv! 
on  the  britannia  business — the  initial ' 
step  in  a  manufacture  which  has 
made  Meriden  noted  all  over  ibc 
world.  * 

He  increased  his  works  in  1850. 
bought  a  larger  factory  in  East  Meri- 
den and  shortly  after,  with  Daniel 
B.  Wells,  formed  the  firm  of  1.  C 
Lewis  &  Co.  After  Mr.  \Vcll>' 
death  Mr.  Lewis  jnirchased  his  part- 
ner's interests  and  continued  alone. 

In  1852  the  Meriden  Britannia  0>. 
was  formed  and  incorporate<l  witli  a 
capital  of  $50.(x>).  l-Or  nearly  four- 
teen years  lie  stood  at  the  head  of  tiic 
new  corporation,  giving  his  consrant.  ' 
perM>nal  attention  to  the  busine^^  i'' 
all  its  details :  not  only  did  he  j'tr- 
form  all  the  onerous  dmies  of  ibe 
f)residency,  but  he  exercised  a  care- 
ful supervision  over  the  maniifaciure 
of  the  company's  goods  which  went 
far  toward  estalilishing  the  enviable 
re|)ntation  that  the  product  of  die 
factory  soon  gained. 

At  the  end  of  this  i)eriod  the  af- 
fairs of  the  Britannia  company  were 
miming  smoothly :  and  its  success  U- 
came  so  pronounced  that  Mr.  Lewis 
felt  he  siionld  be  partially  re- 
lieved. He  accordingly,  in  Jan- 
uary,   1866,    resigned    from  tb*

presidency  of  the  company.  The 
office  of  superintendent,  the  du* 
ties  of  which  Mr.  Lewis  had  fulfilled 
most  practically  all  these  years,  was 
then  created  and  Mr.  Lewis  was 
elected  to  fill  the  office  which  he  held 
unti  1874,  which  he  then  resigned. 
On  the  death  of  Horace  C.  Wilcox, 
in  1890,  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of 
the  directors,  Mr.  Lewis  again  as- 
sumed the  office  of  president,  thus 
continuing  in  tliat  capacity  and 
until  his  death.  Though  relieved  of 
the  presidency  from  1866  to  i8()o,  Mr. 
Lewis,  during  this  entire  })cri(Ml,  was 
a  potent  factor  in  the  n  iLiiagement 
of  the  conii)any'.s  aliau.s,  and  his  ex- 
ecutive ability  and  substantial  views 
played  an  important  part  in  shaping 
the  course  of  the  Aleridcii  Britannia 
Company,  whose  business  had  grown 
to  large  proportions,  which  state  ot 
affairs  was  arrived  at  in  no  small  de- 
gree by  Mr.  Lewis'  practical  kiinwl- 
edge  of  i)rotltable  manufacturing  and 
his  wise  counsel  as  a  director. 

Mr.  Lewis  Ixfcame  a  stockholder 
in  a  score  of  thriving  concerns  and  a 
director  in  many  of  them.  He  was 
president  of  the  Mcriden  Trust  and 
Safe  Deposit  Co.,  the  Miller  Brothers 
Ctitlery  Co.,  one  of  the  directors  of 
the  Meriden  National  Bank,  liie  Mcr- 
iden Savings  Bank,  the  Wilcox  Sil- 
ver Plate  Co.,  the  Meriden  Silver 
Plate  Co.,  the  Manning  &  Bowman 
Co.,  Edward  Miller      Co.  and  others. 

y\r.  Lewis  was  reared  a  Deinorrat, 
but  durin-  the  War  of  the  Rebellion, 
joined  tlit  Rt  publican  j)arty  and  was 
a  stalwart  exponent  of  that  party  un- 


til 1883,  when  on  the  sole  issue  oi 
temperance,  he  joined  the  Prohibitioa- 
ists.  He  was  an  ardent  advocate  of 
woman  suffrage  and  gave  substan- 
tial proof  of  his  confidence  in  it,  "as 
a  cause  that  ought  to  prosper  and  is 
bound  to  succeed." 

He  was  elected  representative  to 
the  legislature  four  terms,  was  justice 
of  the  peace  three  terms,  a  member  of 
the  board  of  relief  and  of  the  c^\ 
council,  an  alderman,  and  was  mayor 
of  the  city  from  1870-  72.  He  was 
at  the  head  of  the  commission  ai>- 
pointed  in  1865  to  build  the  water 
works,  and  the  following  year  was 
appointed  one  of  the  sewer  conur.is- 
sion. 

As  a  philanthropist  he  did  much 
fur  his  city.  To  the  City  Mission  lie 
presented  a  handsome  block,  to  St. 
Paul's  Universalist  church,  of  wh;  - 
he  was  an  earnest  member  and  active 
worker,  his  c< jnirilnition  was  a  lar;.:e 
l)art  of  the  $100,000  thai  it  cost,  as 
well  as  giving  of  his  means  for  the 
new  organ  and  other  features:  aii^l 
he  gave  freely  to  many  organi7^tion>. 
He  was  a  life-long  member  of  Mer- 
iden Center  Lodge,  No.  68,  L  O.  0. 
F.,  and  of  the  Sons  of  the  American 
Revolution, 

Mr.  Lewis  married  May  it.  i!^3'3.

ing for  the  Charles  Parker  Company

strike  out  for  himself,  and  according- 
ly  in  1877  began  business  as  a  whole- 
sale and  retail  dealer  in  bottled  beer 
and  other  goods.  This  enterprise 
proved  very  successful,  and  after 
eight  years  he  was  enabled  to  sell  his 
business  and  retire  from  active  work. 
During  these  years  he  had  acquired 
considerable  property  about  the  city,

LEVI  E.  COE. 


Levi  Elmore  Coe,  whose  influ- 
ence during  a  long  and  varied  ca- 
reer was  felt  in  all  the  vital  problems 
of  this  city,  was  the  son  of  Colonel 
Levi  and  Sarah  (Ward)  Coe.  He  was 
bom  in  the  town  of  Middlefield  (then 
Middletown),  Conn.,  June  6,  1828. 


He  received  his  education  in  the  com- 
mon schools  of  his  neighborhood  and 
Post's  and  Chase  s  academies.  He 
was  ready  to  teach  school  at  the  age 
of  eighteen,  a  profession  which  he  fol- 
lowed until  he  was  twenty-five,  when 
he  located  in  Meriden,  where  he  lived 
until  death  claimed  him  November  2, 

In  1854  Mr.  Coe  was  elected  treas- 
urer of  the  Meriden  Savings  Bank, 
which  bank  recognized  his  abilities 
and  honored  him  with  the  odBces  01 
treasurer,  director  and  president,  the 
last  two  of  which  he  held  until  his 
death. 

At  the  age  of  seventy-one  years  he 
was  elected  president  of  the  Meriden 
National  Bank  and  when  he  died  was, 
therefore,  president  of  that  financial 
institution,  and  also  of  the  Meriden 
Savings  Bank. 

Mr.  Coe  was  a  man  of  great  mea- 
tal  as  well  as  business  capacity  and 
whatever  he  undertook  was  character- 
ized by  conscientious  care.  To  this 
fact  was  due  his  ability  to  carry  on  his 
multifold  duties  with  confidence  io 
their  stability  and  success.  For  fifty 
years  he  was  engaged  in  the  leal  cs-  " 
tate  business,  and  he  rendered  to  Mer- 
iden invaluable  service  in  this  con- 
nection. 

He  was  interested  in  all  agricultur- 
al matters  and  especially  in  pet  stock, 
and  his  interest  crystalized  in  practi- 
cal form  when  he  became  identified 
with  various  agricultural  societies. 
He  was  secretary  of  the  Farmers' 
Club ;  president  of  the  Meriden  Poul- 
try Association;  secretary,  treasurer

clerk,  judge  of  probate,  a  water  com- 
missioner,  an  office  he  held  for  sev- 
eral years ;  and  a  member  of  the  hoard 
of  compensation.  These  offices  all 
enabled  him  to  advance  the  city's  in- 
terests ;  but  it  remained  for  an  appre- 
ciative people  to  offer  him  their  high- 
est g^ft,  and  he  was  elected  mayor  of 
Meriden  in  1894  and  re-elected  in 
1896  and  1897.  He  planned  and  ex- 
ecuted with  intense  earnestness  every 
project  that  claimed  his  time  and  his 
logical  mind,  coupled  with  his  expe- 
rience in  private  affairs,  combined  to 
give  Meriden  an  administration  in 
which  the  people  had  fullest  confi- 
dence.

sea-captain  and  in  his  day  was 
called  "one  of  New  England's  brav- 
est, most  daring,  and  ablest";  whose 
voyages  took  him  to  every  part  of  the 
globe  and  whose  life  was  tempestuous, 
but  successful  and  who  left  behind 
him  a  name  which  his  grandson  has 
ever  cherished  with  ardent  love  and 
infinite  respect  He  was  a  native  of 
Providence,  R.  I. ;  was  bom  June  14, 
1784,  and  died  October  26,  1846. 

Charles  R.  Hicks,  father  of  the  sub- 
ject,  was  bom  in  Providence,  R.  L, 
July  I,  1812,  and  was  educated  at 
Plainfield,  Conn.,  where  at  that  time 
was  one  of  the  best  seminaries  of  the 
state.  He,  afterwards,  and  when 
quite  young,  engaged  in  the  dry 
goods  trade  in  Providence  and,  be- 
coming a  prominent  merchant,  later 
continued  in  the  same  business  in  New 
York  City,  retiring  irom  active  busi- 
ness in  1842,  when  he  removed  to  Tol- 
land and  spent  his  last  years.  He 
died  July  29,  1878.  From  his  father, 
Ratcliffe  Hicks  inherited  many  of  his 
intellectual-  attainments ;  and  that  he 
has  won  fame  and  fortune  as  a  law- 
yer, manufacturer,  business  man  and 
legislator  has  been  natural. 

Ratcliffe  Hicks  secured  his  early 
education  at  home  and  prepared  for 
college  at  Monson  Academy.  lie  en- 
tered Crown  University  in  i860  and 
graduated  with  high  honors  with  the 
degree  of  A.  B.  in  1864.  "From  his 
earliest  youth  he  became  an  omniv- 
orous and  careful  reader  and  the  law 
and  sciences  of  all  afjes  were  to  him, 
and  arc  now,  what  many  forms  of 
amusement  arc,  to  the  ordinary  young 


man,*'  states  one  of  his  biographer : 
While  at  Brown  University  he  was' 
one  of  the  founders  of  Delta  l>  ■ 
silon  Chapter,  of  which  he  is  still  a , 
member  and  to  which  he  has  eva 
been  a  generous  contributor.  £arlT 
in  life  he  began  to  take  a  prominea 
lead  in  school  and  college  debates; 
and  at -the  commencement  exercises, 
was  one  of  the  orators  of  his  graduat- 
ing class.  After  leaving  college  ht 
began  the  study  of  law  in  the  ofib 
of  Judge  Loren  P.  Waldo,  which  study 
he  pursued  only  during  his  leisure 
hours,  and  taught  school.  Admitteii 
to  the  bar  in  1866,  he  immediately  rc^ 
moved  to  Meriden  and  began  the  prac- 
tice of  his  profession  as  the  law  pan- 
ner  of  the  late  Hon.  O.  H.  PlatL 
which  partnership  continued  until 
1869,  after  which  Mr.  Hicks  con- 
tinued alone  until  1882.  His  natural 
ability,  keen  foresight  and  remarkaUe 
judgment,  coupled  with  his  self-oon- 
iidence  and  sanguine  disposition,  tbe 
result  of  his  success  in  important 
cases,  made  him  a  familiar  figure  in 
the  higher  courts.  He  was  ever  well 
versed  in  law  for  he  never  ceased  his 
study  of  his  chosen  profession.  His 
ability  as  a  pleader  was  remarkable; 
and  his  name  is  found  in  every  vol- 
ume of  the  Connecticut  Rqx>rt  from 
1866  to  1879.  While  practicing  he 
received  large  fees  and  his  income  in 
Meriden  averaged  over  $10,000  1 
year.  From  1869  to  1874  he  served 
Meriden  as  city  attorney  and  from 
1873  to  1876  was  New  Haven  county 
attorney.  His  public  service,  how- 
ever, began  in  1886  by  his  election

to  the  State  legislature  from  Tolland, 
when  as  the  youngest  member  of  the 
house,  during  his  first  term  of-  ser- 
vice, he  attracted  general  attention, 
not  only  by  his  activity  on  the  floor, 
but  by  the  exhibition  of  rare  and  ma- 
ture judgment  for  one  of  his  years. 
During  his  second  term,  his  speeches 
as  a  legislator  were  forceful  and  of 
brilliant  diction  and  won  him  the  ad- 
miration of  the  mcmhers  on  both  sides 
of  the  house ;  although  he  w  as  most 
Io\al  to  the  Democratic  party,  of 
wliich  he  has  ever  been  a  staunch  and, 
in  late  years,  a  prominent  factor,  his 
manly  and  eloquent  presentation  of 
his  convictions  secured  him  rtl'^o  the 
respect  and  admiration  of  the  Repub- 
licans. His  breadth  of  mind  and 
keen  sense  of  fairness  were  ever  ap- 
parent, and  it  was  his  special  delight 
to  debate  on  questions  which  rose 
above  party  politics.  He  once  stated 
on  the  floor  of  the  house  that  he  pre- 
ferred to  stand  where  the  old  Romans 
Stood  and  to  do  right  though  the 
heavens  fell.  In  1891  he  was  again  a 
member  of  the  state  legislature,  as 
chairman  of  the  committee  on  Woman 
Suffrage  which  reported  the  bill  giv- 
ing women  the  right  to  vote  on  school 
matters.  During  his  entire  and  val- 
ued service  in  the  legislature,  and 
which  was  continued  until  1895,  he 
introduced  many  bills  of  vast  import 
to  the  people  of  the  commonwealth 
and  he  usually  accomplished  as  much 
if  not  more  than  anv  other  member. 
His  prominence  in  public  life  has  kept 
him  well  before  the  eye  of  the  public ; 
and  he  has  been  prominently  men- 


tioned in  the  past,  for  both  lieutool 
governor  and  governor  of  the  nif 
of  Connecticut. 

In  1882  Mr.  Hicks  became  btm 
ested  in  the  Canfield  Rubber  Comp 
as  its  president,  and  which,  under 
sagacious  business  head,  has  groi

with  his  brother  under  the  firm  name 
of  N.  C.  Hall  &  Co.  His  honorable 
dealings  and  energy  won  him  the  con- 
fidence of  the  townspeople,  and  his 
good  name,  thus  early  established,  he 
maintained  throughout  his  life. 

In  1870  he  sold  out  his  interest  in 
the  grocery  store  and  engaged  in  the 
meat  business,  in  partnership  with

the  meat  business,  which  he  conduct- 
ed with  uninterrupted  success  until  he 
was  stricken  with  pneumonia  and  died 
at  the  age  of  sixty-one,  after  which 
his  well  established  business  was  con- 
ducted by  his  son,  Eugene  A.  Hall,  the 
present  treasurer  of  the  Town  of  Mer-

limited  confidence,  respect  and  esteem  ' 
of  his  fellow  townsmen  to  a  rcinaA- 1 
able  extent.   His  genial  dispositio&  = 
made  him  the  typical  merchant  with 
whom  customers  found  pleasure  c 
trading.   He  was  always  deeply  coo-  ■ 
cemed  in  local  affairs  and  never  re> 
fused  his  influence  in  matters  of  ben- 
efit either  to  his  neighbors  or  thej 
town.   His  loss  to  the  ranks  of  the! 
business  men  of  Meriden  will  be  long!

William  Henry  Bigelow,  now  an 
influential  resident  of  Meriden,  was 
born  in  Westminster,  Mass.,  in  Jan- 
tiary,  1853.  He  was  an  only  child 
and  his  parents  were  Benson  and 
Charlotte  (Rice)  Bigelow.  His  fam- 
ily is  an  old  one  in  that  town  and  the 
original  Bigelow  homestead  has  been 
in  their  possession  for  many  genera- 
tions. The  subject  of  this  biography 
is  descended  on  both  the  paternal  and 
maternal  sides  from  early  colonial  an- 
cestry and  on  the  mother's  side  his 
progenitors  served  in  the  Revolution- 
ary War. 

Mr.  Bigelow  obtained  his  early  ed- 
ucation at  the  common  schools  and 
finished  at  the  Westminster  Acad- 
emy, which  has  since  been  destroyed 
by  fire.  He  has  traveled  considerably 
both  in  this  country  and  Europe  and 
has  acquired  a  higher  education 
through  his  travels,  in  which  he  has 
come  in  contact  with  many  people. 
•He  is  a  close  observer  of  men  and 
customs.  Mr.  Bigelow  has  also  had 
a  varied  experience  in  business.  For 
several  years  he  was  located  in  Bos- 
ton and  Gloucester,  Mass.,  and  later 
in  Hartford.  For  the  past  twelve 
years,  however,  he  has  resided  in  Mer- 
iden. 

In  1895  he  was  united  in  marriage 
'with  Emma  Norton,  daughter  of  the 
late  C.  L.  and  Amanda  (Norton) 
Strong,  and  has  since  resided  in  the 
Strong  family  residence  on  Cook  ave- 
nue. Mrs.  Bigelow  died  July  13, 
^O^Sf  after  a  lingering  illness  of  a 


year.  Before  her  death  and  with  her 
Mr.  Bigelow  spent  much  time  in  trav- 
el and  visited  Europe,  Cuba,  Bemu:- 
da  Islands  and  the  Canadas,  as  wtli 
as  the  south  and  west  of  his  cwn 
country.  In  his  travels  he  has  c  !< 
lected  many  relics  which  now  adoni 
his  home.  Mr.  Bigelow  is  far  iTi<n 
being  a  disinterested  resident  of  Mtr- 
iden ;  for  he  is  deeply  concerned  in  C 
that  tends  to  benefit  and  improve  the 
locality  either  in  business  or  socii- 
life.  He  is  a  member  of  WashingtiTn

tice»  but  honorably  purchased  the  last 
few  months  of  his  apprenticeship 
ind  went  to  Cincinnati,  where  he 
worked  at  his  trade  for  three  years, 
when  he  again  removed  to  Holyoke, 
Mass.,  and  first  started  in  business 
for  himself.  At  the  end  of  two  years 
he  again  returned  to  Meriden  and 
nought  out  the  manufacturing  busi* 
less  of  his  former  employers,  giving 
IS  pa3rment  several  hundred  dollars 
due  him  as  wages,  and  the  balance  in 
notes,  with  interest  at  six  per  cent, 
rhese  notes  he  met  when  due,  and 
:ontinued  the  business  successfully 
for  ten  years.  He  then  disposed  of 
the  factory  to  Charles  Parker  and 
Dthers  and  engaged  in  the  jobbing 
business  at  the  comer  of  West  Main 
and  Hanover  streets.  He  afterwards 
look  in  as  a  partner,  George  F. 
Searles,  whom  he  afterwards  bought 
>ut,  and  later  Henr\-  J.  Lewis,  son  of 
the  late  Isaac  C.  Lewis,  became  his 
partner,  under  the  style  of  Griswold 
&  Lewis.  In  1876,  Charles  C.  Clock, 
1  former  valued  employe,  was  taken 
into  the  firm,  which  afterwards  be- 
came Griswold,  Lewis  &  Clock. 
John  L.  Richmond  purchased  Mr. 
Lewis'  interest  in  the  firm  which  af- 
terwards became  Griswold,  Richmond 
&  Clock,  and  in  1889  at  Mr.  Gris- 
wold*s  suggestion,  about  a  dozen  of 
the  employes  were  given  an  interest 
in  the  business  as  an  inducement  for 
meritorious  service  and  the  firm  was 
made  into  a  corporation  with  a  cap- 
ital of  $50,000,  under  the  name  of 
Griswold.  Richmond  &  Clock  Co-op- 
erative   Co.    Some    time    after  the 


death  of  Mr.  Richmond  his  interest 
held  by  his  widow  was  purchased  Jan- 
uary 10,  1905,  for  a  large  sum,  after 
which  the  business  again  became  a 
co-operative  concern  on  the  same  lines 
as  originally  agreed  when  the  com- 
pany was  first  formed. 

In  his  religious  views  Mr.  Griswold 
declares  himself  to  be  an  agnostic, 
refusing  to  believe  that  which  does 
not  appeal  to  his  reason. 

Mr.  Griswold  was  married  in  Meri- 
den to  Eliza  Williams.  To  them  were 
born  these  children:  Ella  A.,  who 
married  Eugene  H.  Ray,  superinten- 
dent of  the  Silver  City  Plate  Com- 
pany ;  Charles,  who  died  in  early  man- 
hood; Frank,  who  died  while  a  resi- 
dent of  Chicago,  and  Lewis  F.,  de- 
signer for  the  Charles  Parker  Com- 
pany. After  his  wife's  death  Mr. 
Griswold  married  Mira  Rockwell,  a 
daughter  of  Samuel  Rockwell.  Mrs. 
Griswold  presides  over  her  beautiful 
home  on  Lincoln  street  with  grace  and 
tact  and  is  prominent  in  the  social  and 
philanthropic  life  of  Meriden. 


GEORGE  W,  MILLER. 


George  W.  Miller,  first  selectman  of 
the  town,  was  born  October  13,  1838, 
in  Raniapo,  Rockland  county,  N.  Y. 
At  the  apfe  of  twelve  years  he  went 
with  his  parents  to  live  in  Chico])ee 
Falls,  Mass..  where  he  attended 
school  until  sixteen  years  of  age. 

He  then  went  to  work  for  the  Mas- 
sachusetts .Anns  Co.  on  {^uns  and  pis- 
tols, karniiig  there  the  trade  of  a  tool 
maker.

BIOGRAPUIES. 


In  1862  he  removed  to  Mcridtn 
ivhere  he  has  since  resided  and  in  the 
latter  part  of  that  year  went  to  work 
for  Parker,  Snow,  Brooks  &  Co.,  a 
:<>iicern  entT^ac^cd  in  manufacturing 
Springfield  rirtcs  for  the  U.  S.  gov- 
ernment. Mr.  Miller  was  first  a  tool 
^aker  and  afterwards  a  contractor, 
tiaving  charge  of  getting  out  the  locks 
for  the  rifles.  He  remained  in  this 
business  until  1868,  when  in  company 
ft'ith  his  brother,  William  H.  Miller, 
he  started  in  the  manufacture  of 
pocket  cutlery.  From  this  business 
^rew  the  Miller  Bros.  Cutlery  Co.  and 
kvith  it  he  continued  until  1878.  Mr. 
Miller  then  withdrew  his  interests  and 
started  a  factory  at  the  corner  of 
Ho  >rge  and  Mechanic  streets  where 
he  made  pocket  knives  and  novelties 
until  1899. 

Mr.  Miller  served  as  councilman  in 
the  city  government  during  the  years 
1877  and  1879;  was  appointed 
deputy  collector  of  internal  revenue 
^n  1890,  serving  in  this  capacity  four 
I'ears. 

In  1894  he  was  appointed  superin- 
:endent  of  the  Meriden  water  depart- 
nentt  and  during  his  administration  of 
four  years  the  storage  reservoir  ''Hall- 
nere."  holding  about  140,000,000  gal- 
lops, was  constructed.  In  1882,  Mr. 
Miller  was  elected  first  selectman  of 
:he  town»  serving  one  year.  In  1898, 
Mr,  Miller  was  again  elected  to  this 
Mfice  and  has  been  re-elected  annual- 
ly ever  since.  His  administration  has 
been  practical  and  economical.  Evi- 
dently the  people  of  Meriden  consider 
him  safe  and  reliable  as  they  have 

25 


elected  him  lu  this  responsible  dftice 
for  a  longer  term  than  any  of  his 
predecessors. 

His  efforts  to  secure  for  Meriden 
a  suitable  home  for  its  unfortunate 
poor  were  successful.  Under  his  su- 
pervision *'Cold  Spring  Home"  was 
constructed,  furnished  and  occupied 
within  one  year  from  the  time  the 
citizens  were  first  called  together  to 
consider  the  matter.  All  bills  for  this, 
including  the  grading  of  the  grounds, 
were  paid  from  the  original  appropria- 
tion of  $40,000  and  there  was  an  un- 
expended balance  of  over  $5,000.00. 

This  is  but  one  instance  of  the  many 
that  shows  his  loyalty  and  devotion 
to  the  interests  of  the  town  he  serves. 
In  these  days  of  graft  and  mismanage- 
ment in  many  other  cities,  a  faithful 
public  servant  should  be  especially 
commended  in  Meriden. 

Mr.  Miller  was  one  of  the  charter 
members  of  St.  Elmo  commandery,  K. 
T.,  with  which  he  is  consequently 
prominently  identified.  He  was  mar- 
ried February  4,  1863,  to  Lydia  M. 
Tucker,  of  Chicopee  Falls.  Three  sons 
have  been  born  to  them:  Horace  G. 
Miller,  secretary  and  treasurer  of 
Union  Iron  Works,  of  Los  Angeles, 
Cal. ;  Lewis  A.  Miller,  secretary  of 
The  H,  Wales  Lines  Co.,  of  Meriden, 
and  Max  E.  Miller,  vice  president  and 
secretary  of  The  Warner-Miller  Co., 
of  New  Haven.

and  a  former  resident  and  teacher  of 

Meriden,  was  bom  in  Durham,  Mid- 
dlesex county,  Conn.,  October  3,  1820. 
He  is  a  son  of  the  late  Elah  Camp, 
who  during  his  early  life  owned  a 
large  fann  which  comprised  about 
one-fifth  of  the  present  town  of  Mer- 
iden and  through  which  Camp  street 
now  extends.  David  N.  Camp  is  the 
seventh  in  line  descended  from  Nicho- 
las Camp,  of  Naseby,  Eng.,  whose  son, 
Samuel  was  one  of  the  first  settlers 
of  Milford,  Conn.  From  the  last 
named  have  descended  his  son, 
Nathan,  of  Durham,  the  paternal 
grandfather  of  the  subject. 

His  mother  was  Grit  (  Lee)  Camp, 
a  direct  lineal  descendant  of  Theophi- 
his  Eaton,  the  first  governor  of  New 
Haven  colony.  Prof.  Camp  received 
his  early  education  in  Ixjth  public  and 
private  schools  and  after  preparing 
for  college,  although  prevented  from 
taking  his  course  by  illness,  he  con- 
tinued, studying  with  private  tutors, 
and  received  the  honorary  degree  of 
A.  M.  from  Yale  college  in  1853.  He 
became  a  resident  of  Meriden  in  1S46, 
having  previously  lived  here  for  a  few 
months  during  the  year  1841. 

Prof.  Camp  began  teacliins:,^  in  the 
public  schools  of  Guilford  and  later 
taught  at  Braniord  and  L  jiper  Mid- 
dletown.  From  1848  to  1850  he  be- 
came one  of  the  instructors  at  the  old 
Mrriden  Acadeni} ,  whicli  then  excel- 
lent sch(M»l  he  left  in  1850  to  become 
profe^.^rir  of  mathematics,  natural  and 
moral  philosophy  and  geography  at 
the  Connecticut  State  Normal  school 
which  was  opened  that  year.    In  1855 


he  became  associate  principal  of  the 
State  Normal  School  and  also  was 
professor  of  English  (language  and 
literature)  and  mental  philosophy, 
theory  and  practice  of  teaching.  He 
was  appointed  principal  of  the  State 
Normal  School  and  also  state  superin- 
tendent of  schools  in  1857,  both  of 
which  offices  he  filled  with  great  ben- 
efit to  Connecticut  until  1865,  wh« 
on  account  of  ill  health,  he  resigued 
and  went  at  once  abroad. 

While  engaged  in  European  travel 
and  during  his  quest  of  health,  when 
he  visited  many  of  the  educational  in- 
stitutions of  Great  Britain,  he  was  ap- 
pointed professor  at  St.  John's  Col- 
lege. Annapolis,  Md..  and  upon  his  rt-

JOHN  IVES. 


John  Ives,  of  Meriden,  is  perhaps 
the  oldest  dry  goods  merchant  in  Con- 
necticut, having  been  a  pit^^etor  in 
continuous  business  either  al<me  -r 
with  others  since  1847.  He  «'asilx}ni

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEK. 


Hon.  Samuel  Simpson,  of  W  ailing- 
ford,  and  Darius  Benhani,  fumierly  of 
Meriden.  Later  he  accepted  a  p(jsi- 
tion  as  clerk  in  the  then  famous  hat 
store  of  Leary  &  Co.,  located  im  1  r 
the  old  Astor  House  in  New  York 
City,  where  his  brother,  Isaac  I.,  was 
formerly  cmi)loyed,  and  a  concern  in 
which  his  Ives  relatives  were  finan« 
dally  interested.  Two  \ears  later, 
upon  the  .'ulvice  of  his  brother-in-law, 
Eli  Butler,  he  went  to  Alabama, 
where  the  latter  conducted  a  general 
store  in  Perry  county,  and  where  Mr. 
Ives  remained  until  1847.  He  then 
returned  to  Meriden  and  engaged  in 
the  dry  goods  husiness  in  the  store 
formerly  carried  on  by  Squire  Birdsey 
and  in  partnership  with  Linus  Bird- 
sey, under  the  style  of  Birdsey  & 
Ives,  jin  1853  the  partnership  was 
dissolvied  and  Mr.  Ives  built  a  new 
store  on  Broad  street,  in  which, 
with  his  brother,  Russell  Ives,  as 
Ives  Brothers,  and  afterward  alone, 
he  continued  business  until  1865.  In 
that  year  when  Colonel  C.  L.  Upham 
and  Lieutenant  Philip  C.  Rand,  who 
had  previously  been  clerks  for  Mr. 
Ives,  returned  from  their  service  in  the 
Civil  war,  Mr.  Ives  with  them  both  as 
partners,  formed  the  well  known  dry 
goods  firm  of  Ives.  I7pham  &  Rand. 
The  firm  continued  on  Broad  street 
and  also  opened  another  store  on  Col- 
on v  strcrt,  in  the  location  now  occu- 
pied  by  Howard  P*ros.,  which  was 
then  known  as  West  Meriden.  Both 
of  these  stores  were  carried  on  for 
some  years  and  until  the  up-town 
store  on  Broad  street  was  finally  dis- 


posed  of.  The  firm  gradually  out- 
grew their  first  Colony  street  l*x:a- 
tion,  and  rpon  the  completion  of  the 
VVinthrop  Hotel  block,  in  1883,  they 
removed  thereto  and  have  retained 
tliat  location,  which,  although  exten- 
sively enlarged,  was  then  thought  to 
be  amply  spacious  for  many  years  to 
come.  In  addition  to  looking  after 
his  mercantile  business,  Mr.  Ives 
served  efficiently  as  town  clerk  of  Mer- 
iden from  1854  to  1865,  when  he  de- 
clined longer  to  serve  in  that  oflfice. 
He  has  continuously  been  one  of  the 
directors  of  the  Meriden  National 
bank  since  1863 ;  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Meriden  Cemetery 
Association,  owners  of  the  Walnut 
Grove  cemetery,  and  from  its  organ- 
ization in  1875  has  held  the  offices  of 
director,  secretary  and  treasurer  of 
that  corporatitw.  From  1S53  he  has 
been  a  member  of  the  First  Baptist 
church.  In  politics,  while  he  was 
born  and  raised  a  Democrat  of  the 
old  school,  he  has  been  identified  with 
the  Republican  party  since  the  strong 
pro-slavery  demonstrations  of  1858-9, 
to  which  he  was  strongly  opposed. 
Mr.  Ives  was  married  first  to  Alina. 
daughter  of  the  late  Eli  C.  Birdsey 
in  1847;  "^'^^'d  1856.  He  was 
again  married  December  5.  1858.  to 
Wealthy  Sage  Merwin,  of  Durham, 
Conn.,  and  to  whom  two  children 
were  born :  Leland  Howard,  asso-

WILLIAM  JACKSON  IVES. 


Perhaps  no  deceased  resident  of 
Meriden  left  behind  him  to  a  fuller 
extent  the  respect  of  the  community 
than  William  Jackson  Ives.  He  was 
bom  in  Meriden  July  28,  181 5,  and 
was  a  worthy  representative  of  one  of 
the  oldest  families  in  this  vicinity. 
Watrous  Ives,  son  of  Amasa  and  Re- 
becca Ives  who  September  15,  1809, 
married  Polly  Yale  and  had  ten  chil- 
dren, William  Jackson  Ives  being  the 
third. 

He  was  brought  up  on  the  old  Ives 
farm,  attended  the  district  school,  and 
as  a  young  man  drove  a  peddler*s 
team  from  Meriden  to  the  Southern 
states  and  sold  the  goods  made  by  the 
then  small  factory  of  Charles  Parker 
which  was  conducted  under  the 
name  of  Parker  &  White,  and  being 
considered  an  extra  good  salesman, 
his  services  were  highly  appreciated 
by  the  concern.  He  afterwards  be- 
came a  manufacturer,  engaging  in 
making  suspender  webbing  in  East 
Meriden,  but  his  factory  was  de- 
stroyed by  fire,  and  he  afterwards 
opened  a  general  store  at  Benton,  Ala. 
This  store  was  conducted  with  re- 
markable profit  to  himself  and  later 
with  his  two  partners,  who  consisted 
of  his  brother  Stephen  and  his  book- 
keeper, William  Sayre.  After  the 
partnership  was  formed  he  spent 
much  of  his  time  in  the  North  buy- 


ing goods  for  the  store  and  still  con- 
tinued to  carry  on  his  farm  in  Meri- 
den. The  Civil  War  made  many  poor 
debtors  of  their  customers,  composed 
of  large  plantation  owners  of  the 
South;  and  the  firm  on  account  of 
this,  sustained  a  great  pecuniaiy  loss, 
including  a  large  store  and  warehouse, 
none  of  which  was  recovered  by  Mr. 
Ives.  After  the  town  had  been  burnt 
by  the  Union  armies  he  returned  to 
Meriden,  abandoning  his  interests  in 
the  South  and  remained  here  the  bal- 
ance of  his  life. 

At  his  well  cultivated  farm  he 
raised  many  valuable  horses  which  oc- 
cupation was  very  congenial  to  him ; 
as  he  was  not  only  a  great  lover  of 
well  bred  animals  but  understood 
thoroughly  their  successful  raising. 
As  a  stock  fanner  he  was  no  less  for- 
tunate than  in  any  other  of  his  un- 
dertakings; and  many  were  the  val- 
uable specimens  of  the  equine  race 
which  he  sold  at  handsome  figures. 

Mr.  Ives  was  widely  respected  by 
his  fellow  townsmen  and  a  man  who 
held  to  the  fullest  extent  their  con- 
fidence. During  his  life  he  settled 
many  estates,  and  he  seems  to  have 
been  a  most  natural  personage  for  oth- 
ers to  go  to  for  advice  in  business 
and  other  matters.  He  was  generous 
to  the  worthy  poor,  public  spirited  and 
very  considerate  of  his  neighbors  by 
whom  he  was  highly  regarded.  An 
active  member  of  the  First  Baptist 
church,  he  took  a  deep  interest  in  the 
welfare  of  that  society.  He  was  a 
Democrat  in  his  political  sympathies.

DEXJAMIX  H.  CATLIX,  M.  D. 

Benjamin  Hopkins  Catlin,  M.  D, 
(deceased),  eldest  son  of  Benjamin 
and  Rhoda  (Catlin)  Catlin,  was  born 
August  10,  1 80 1,  in  the  town  of  Har- 
winton,  Litchfield  county.  Conn,  Dr. 
Catlin  came  of  a  long  line  of  distin- 
guished ancestry,  one  de  Catlin  hav- 
ing lx!en  a  follower  of  William  the 
Conqueror,  and  the  first  American  an- 
cestor having  come  to  Hartford  in 
1632,  where  he  and  his  son  were  very 
prominent  in  colonial  affairs. 

Dr.  Catlin  hafl  more  than  the  usual 
educational  advantages  of  a  country 
boy  of  his  day,  the  district  school 
work  being  followed  by  study  at  an 
academy  in  his  native  town  under  the 
tuition  of  the  Rev.  Luther  Hart,  and 


medical  training  under  several  prom- 
inent physicians,  and  at  Yi\k\  where 
he  was  graduated  March  4.  1825. 
On  July  12  of  the  same  year  he  opened 
an  office  at  Haddam,  Conn.,  filling  a 
vacancy  made  by  the  death  of  Dr. 
Andrew  Warner.  He  soon  had  a 
large  practice  and  remained  over  six- 
teen years.  Then,  at  tl;e  re(|uest  of 
some  of  the  leading  citizens  of  Meri-

early  j)ractice  was  but  fifty  cents. 
He  practice<l  during  the  latter  period 
of  Dr.  Hough,  with  whom  he  held

who  extended  him  m^t  only  all  the 
usual  courtesies  of  the  profession  but

a  warm  personal  friendship  as  wdl. 

Dr.  Catlin  was  early  elected  a  Fel- 
low of  the  Connecticut  Medical  Socie- 
ty. In  1854  he  was  elected  vice-pres- 
ident of  the  society,  re-elected  in  i855» 
appointed  president  in  1856,  and 
elected  in  1857.  In  1840  he  was 
given  the  honorary  degree  oi  M.  D. 
by  Yale.  He  was  always  very  active 
in  both  state  and  national  medical  cir- 
cles, being  a  prominent  member  of 
the  American  Medical  Association 
from  1853  until  his  death,  and  often 
attending  its  annual  meetings  as  del- 
egate from  the  state  society.  In 
i860  he  was  elected  an  honorary  mem- 
ber of  the  New  York  Medical  Socie- 
ty, and  in  1869  a  corresponding  mem- 
ber of  the  Gynaecological  Society  of 
Boston.  In  1871  he  was  president 
of  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can Medical  Society.  He  was  the 
chief  promoter  in  the  establishment  Of 
the  state  Board  of  Health,  and  his 
writings  upon  the  subject  of  sanitary 
conditions  were  widely  read  and  had 
much  influence  in  the  prevention  of 
disease. 

Dr.  Catlin  held  many  important  po- 
sitions in  the  community  aside  from 
those  omnected  with  his  profession. 
He  was  director  of  the  Home  Nation- 
al Bank,  and  was  either  [>resident  or 
vice-president  of  the  Meriden  Savings 
Bank  from  the  time  of  its  organiza- 
tion. At  the  time  of  the  removal  of 
the  First  Congregational  church  to 
West  Meriden  he  was  elected  deacon 
for  life  and  held  the  office  of  treasurer 
of  the  church  until  the  January  before 
his  death. 


As  a  physician  Dr.  Catlin  enjo>-ed 
the  fullest  confidence  and  esteem  of 
the  whc4e  community*  As  a  man  tie 
was  unassuming  but  earnest  and  up- 
right, firm  in  principle  and  consistent 
in  every  deed. 

His  death,  which  occurred  Fd>ru' 
ary  18,  1880,  brought  a  sense  of  per- 
sonal loss  to  all  Meriden,  and  his 
memory  will  live  for  many  years  to 
come. 

On  September  9,  1835,  Dr.  Catlin 
was  married  to  Amelia  Deborah  Spen-  j 
cer,  bom  November  4,  181 1,  dau^ter 
of  William  and  Deborah  (Seldeni 
Spencer.  To  this  marriage  came- 
(i)  Benjamin  Spencer  Catlin,  born 
September  14,  1837,  died  Fcbruar>-  15. 
1871 ;  he  was  in  the  Civil  war  frcnr. 
1862  to  1865,  serving  as  surgeon  oi'

No  mention  of  the  prominent  citi-

lin, who  was  bom  in  this  city,  August 
24,  1842,  and  has  always  been  fore-

circles.  If  any  one  can  boast  of  an 
illustrious  American  ancestry,  that 
man  is  Mr.  Catlin.  Twenty-five  of 
his  forbears  fought  in  die  Indian  wan 
and  were  members  of  the  General 
Court;  five  served  as  soldiers  in  the

at  Northeast,  Erie  Co.,  Pa.  But  he 
soon  felt  that  the  place  for  him  was

three  years  until  the  end  of  the  war, 
and  was  mustered  out  in  June,  1865.

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Mr.  Catlitt  then  found  himself  in 
Erie,  Pa.,  and  from  1865  to  1867  he 
acted  as  bookkeeper  in  the  hardware 
store  of  John  C  Selden.  After  a 
winter  spent  at  his  old  home  in  Mer-> 
iden  he  felt  the  call  of  the  West  and 
went  out  to  Missouri,  where  he 
bought  a  ranch  in  Barton  county.  In 
1873  he  returned  to  Meriden,  in  1877 
entered  the  Meriden  Savings  Bank 
as  clerk,  and  in  1890  was  chosen  sec- 
retary and  treasurer,  which  position 
he  still  occupies. 

In  1880  Mr.  Catlin  was  chosen  dea- 
con of  the  First  Congregational 
church  and  has  always  been  most  ac- 
tive in  everything  pertaining  to  the 
welfare  of  the  church,  and  most  gen- 
erous in  its  support.  He  is  inter- 
ested in  all  philanthropic  works  both 
at  home  and  abroad.  He  was  for  two 
}  ears  president  of  the  local  Y,  M,  C. 
A.»  and  has  been  one  of  the  leading 
spirits  in  the  maintenance  of  the  hoys' 
Club.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Park  Commissioners,  and,  in  fact, 
promoters  of  any  good  work  may  look 
to  him  for  sympathy  and  co-opera- 
tion. 

Mr.  Catlin  was  married  September 
13,  i87i,  in  Barton  county,  Mo.,  to 
Helen  Mar  Bailey,  who  died  June  23, 
1880.  His  second  wife  was  Jane 
Winstow,  of  North  Brookfield,  Mass., 
daughter  of  David  Lilly  and  Dolly 
Powers  (Harwood)  Winslow.  Mrs. 
Catlin's  father  was  a  direct  descend* 
ant  of  Kenelm  Winslow.  This  Ken- 
elm  Winslow  is  supposed  to  have 
come  over  in  the  Mayflower  on  her 
second  voyage.   Mrs.  Catlin's  great- 


grandfather, Major  Peter  Harwoo 
was  in  the  Revolutionary  War  aa 
was  officer  of  the  day  when  An<i; 
was  hanged.  She  is  also  a  direct  a

R.-\XSOM  UALDWIX,  JR. 

Among  the  citizens  who  stand  out 
►romincntly  as  business  men  of  the 


past  century  is  the  late  Ransom  Bald- 
win, Jr.,  who  died  December  25.  1897, 
at  277  Wall  street,  Meriden.  An  ob- 
ser\er  of  men  naturally  falls  into  the 
habit  of  segregating  a  personality 
here  and  there  and  collecting  around 
it  as  a  center  the  events  that  lead  to 
the  making  of  a  successful  man.  Mr. 
Baldwin  furnishes  material  for  such  a 
study  not  alone  by  reason  of  his  con- 
spicuous business  career  but  because 
of  his  high  position  as  a  private  citi- 
zen. 

He  was  the  son  of  Ransom  and 
grandson  of  James  Baldwin,  who  es-

den.  lames  Baldwin  was  stirrefl 
by  c'liid  took  active  |>art  in  the  Revolu- 
tionary war.  If  there  wa.s  any  other 
goal  to  the  anil)iti(m  of  this  sixteen 
year  okl  boy  it  wa.s  buried  under  the 
exciting  events  of  the  times.  War 
had  reared  its  ugly  iiead  and  the  de- 
mand was  for  soldiers.  There  were 
other  members  of  the  family  who  par- 
took of  the  resistless  tendency  toward 
fighting  for  liberty.  Ransom  Bald- 
win's maternal  grandfather,  Joseph 
Twiss.  enlisted  with  James  I'al<lwin 
and  both  made  gallant  records  for 
themselves. 

In  addition  to  farming  Mr.  Baldwin 
conducted  a  tiour  and  grain  business, 
the  one  working  in  with  the  other  and 
bringing  Mr.  Ilaldwin  iutu  clo.sest 
touch  with  the  reM)urces  of  Mcridcn 
and  its  business  men.  I  he  result  was 
natural,  he  became  a  large  property 
owner,  and,  in  consequence,  a  large 
taxpayer. 

But  he  is  greatly  mistaken  who 
thinks  Mr.  Baldwin  was  limited  to 
business  interests.  He  read  much 
and  thought  earnestly  on  the  problems 
of  the  day,  especially  on  those  prob- 
lems that  pertain  to  the  uplifting  of 
the  people.  His  opinions  were  not 
formed  to  accord  with  the  drift  of 
public  opinion  but  were  held  with  a 
marked  individuality  of  conviction. 
He  had  large  humanitarian  sympa- 
thies but  believed  that  a  deep  reh'gious 
life  should  be  the  vital  energy  of  wise 
and  effective  humanitarian  effort.  He 
was  for  man\  years  identified  with 
the  First  Baptist  church,  Meriden,  to 
which  he  was  a  liberal  contributor. 


In  1867  Mr.  Baldwin  was  married 
to  Miss  Mary  Hall,  of  \\  alhiigioral 
who  has  alwavs  been  in  the  worthier 
sense  of  the  word,  the  "partner"  of 
his  business  prosperity,  and  has  sharei

The  f(nmdation  for  the  thriviiii: 
grain  business  of  Ransom  Lelanti 
Baldwin  was  laid  by  his  lather,  tht 
late  Ransom  Baldwin,  a  sketch  ot 
whose  life  appears  above  in  this 
volume.  The  son  has  successive- 
ly enlarged  his  business  as  the  years 
have  brought  new  experience  and 
strengthened  the  old.  until  he  has  be- 
come one  of  the  most  substantial  and 
promising  of  the  younger  men  of  this 
city. 

Mr.  Baldwin,  whose  mother  was 
Mary  Hall,  was  born  Jaiuiary 
1870,  in  the  house  where  he  has  lived 
ever  since.  He  attended  the  conmioa 
schools  and  then  instead  of  marching 
into  a  new  atid  untried  field,  he  made 
his  father's  interests  his  own  awl 
learned  the  grain  business  on  the  home 
farm  consisting  of  100  acres. 

The  mastery  of  a  business  is  the

ability  to  meet  new  conditions  and 
make  them  a  prominent  factor  of  the 
old.  Accordingly  when  Mr.  Bald- 
win's increasing  trade,  in  1899,  de- 
manded better  shipping  facilities  he 
built  a  large  elevator  on  Xorth  George 
street — a  commercial  depot  possess- 
ing excellent  railroad  facilities  and 
connected  with  the  X.  Y.,  X.  H.  &  H. 
railroad  by  a  spur  track.  He  is  able 
to  receive  and  ship  goods  in  a  manner 


R-\NSO.M  LHLA.ND  UALDWI.V. 


satisfactory  to  himself  and  his  pat- 
rons. 

The  elevator  is  a  brick  structure 
built  with  every  convenience  for  the 
handling  of  grain  and  it  is  only  nec- 
essary to  visit  the  big  repository 
whose  capacity  is  from  12,000  to  15.- 
000  bushels  and  l(M>k  at  the  shutes  to 
get  a  slight  hint  of  the  large  quantity 


of  grain  and  hay  that  is  handled  every 
day  under  the  owner's  capable  man- 
agement. 

Mr.  Baldwin  has  never  been  satis- 
fied to  follow  a  narrow  business  ca- 
reer, his  field  widens  yearly,  a  con- 
dition due  to  his  well  balanced  com- 
mercial faculties,  tempered  with  the 
elements  of  organization  and  execu- 
tion— elements  that  are  whetted  by 
his  close  attention  to  business. 

His  interests  in  life  are  not  one- 
sided. While  the  goddess  of  agricul- 
ture has  smiled  blandly  upon  his  acres 
he  has  also  grappled  with  the  prob- 
lems of  finance  and  conducts  a  suc- 
cessful brokerage  business  in  the  Byx- 
bee  block.  Thus  he  is  brought  into 
close  relations  with  many  public  men 
whom  he  might  meet  in  his  regular 
work.  His  interest  in  the  welfare  of 
his  town  is  always  at  heart. 

He  belongs  to  Meriden  Center 
Lodge,  F.  and  A.  M.,  the  Royal  Ar- 
canum, the  .Meriden  Lodge  of  Elks, 
the  Grange  and  the  .Meriden  Business 
Men's  Association.  Like  his  father, 
he  is  a  mcml>er  of  the  First  Baptist 
church.

in  the  study  and  cultivation  of  flowers.

ley  &  Hiil)l)ar(l  M  f}^.  Co.,  the  firm  hc- 
iiifj  Curtiss,  Mory^an  &  Co. 

In  1855  the  factory  was  destroyed 
by  fire  and  the  business  removed  to 
Xorwalk  and  org^anized  as  the  Xor- 
walk  Lock  Co.  In  1857  Mr.  Curtiss 
returned  to  Meriden  and  remained 
until  1 86 1  when  he  removed  to  New 
York.  There  he  was  engaged  in  the

hardware  ljusiness  until  failing  health 
compelled  him  to  retire  from  active 
luisincss  and  he  returned  to  Meriden 
where  he  died  .May  30.  1880. 

Mr.  Curtiss  in  early  life  united 
with  the  Kirst  Congregational  church, 
an<l  went  with  that  cluirch  when  it 
moved  to  Colony  street.  In  1848  he 
was  elected  a  life  deacon  and  served 


until  he  moved  to  Xorwalk.  He  was 
sui)erintendent  of  the  Sunday  school 
and  was  for  many  years  a  teacher 
there.  Soon  after  he  removed  to  New 
York,  there  being  a  strong  pro-slav- 
ery sentiment  in  the  community,  he 
with  several  members  of  the  Presby- 
terian church  which  he  attended, 
founded  Pilgrims  Church,  now  locat- 
ed on  123rd  street,  to  propagate  anti- 
slavery  principles ;  and  he  was  a  dea- 
con and  loyal  supporter  of  that  church 
until  his  return  to  Meriden. 

In  1835  married  Julia  Ann  Up- 
son. They  had  four  children,  all  of 
whom  are  living. 

Mr.  Curtiss  was  fearless  in  follow- 
ing his  convictions  and  "Dared  to  be 
in  the  right  with  two  or  three." 
Karly  in  the  history  of  the  Anti- 
Slavery  agitation  he  and  Mrs.  Cur- 
tiss became  ardent  adherents  of  that 
cause  and  gave  to  it  freely  of  their 
time  and  substance.  fre(|uently  suffer- 
ing serious  loss  in  consequence. 
Their  home  was  a  station  of  the  "Un- 
derground Railway"  and  many  fugi- 
tives passed  through  it  on  their  way 
to  freedom. 

Mr.  Curtiss  maintained  an  unblem- 
ished reputation  as  a  business  nrin 
and  Christian  citizen  through  his  long 
life,  being  everywhere  respected  and 
loved,  and  his  "works  do  follow  him."

in  his  day  in  the  manufacturing  life 


of  Meriden;  Mr.  Murdock  died  at 
Westbrook  in  1853. 

Zina  Kelsey  Murdock  was  bom  at 
Westbrook,  March  2,  181 1,  and  re- 
ceived his  education  tlicre.  Althougfi 
in  delicate  health,  but  being  ambitious, 
at  the  age  of  fourteen,  he  walked  from 
Wt  stbn^ok  to  Meriden  where  his  halt 
brother,  Fenner  Bush  was  engaged  in 
manufacturing  i\-ory  combs,  in  whose 
employ  he  worked  for  several  y  ears, 
finally  becoming  the  partner  of  Cur- 
tis L,  North  and  carried  on  a  trading 
business  along  the  shores  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi and  Ohio  rivers,  leaving^  Mr. 
Xorth  to  manage  the  insurance  and 
investment  business  in  Meriden.  The 
outcome  not  being  satisfactory  to  Mr. 
Murdock,  he  dissolved  partnership, 
leaving  Mr.  Xorth  in  full  possession. 
He  later  bought  a  large  farm  on  Mur- 
dock avenue,  where  his  son,  George 
Vk  ALurdock  now  resides.  Mr.  Mur- 
dock was  a  man  of  strong  character

possessed  of  indomitable  courage  an-! 
energy,  a  well  trained  mind  and  cul> 
tivated  intellect. 

During  the  so-called  Meriden  riots 
in  1837,  Mr.  Murdock,  with  several 
other  advocates  of  free  speech,  took 
a  stand  in  favor  of  allowing  tlie  Rev. 
Mr.  Ludlow  to  lecture  on  anti-slav- 
ery,  which  in  consequence  of  the  prt- 
vailtng  sentiment  in  Meriden  caused 
a  mob  to  gather  during*  which  the  de- 
fenders of  free  speech  were  severely 
injured. 

Mr.  Murdock  was  a  Whig  in  poli- 
tics during  the  existence  of  that  party.

ac(juainlance  ut  11.  L.  Shule,  who

In  1886  he  felt  warranted  from  his 
previous  successes  to  open  an  office  in 
Meriden  and  engage  in  tlie  profession 
of  architecture  whicli  lie  has  success- 
fully carried  on  to  the  present  time. 

Among  the  many  structures  de- 
signed and  their  construction  super- 
intended by  Mr.  Bloom  tie  Id  may  be 
named  the  following:  FrankHn  street, 
Columbia  street,  Liberty  street  and  St. 
Laurent's  school  houses;  St,  Mary's 
Roman  Catholic  and  German  lAith- 
eran  churches,  the  C.  W.  Cahill  block, 
the  Beuchler  block,  the  Schwander

Mary  Wilson,  George  Rockwell,  W. 
L.  Squire,  and  of  many  others  in  this 
city. 

When  the  office  of  plumbing  in- 
spector was  created  in  1894  he  was 
made  the  first  incumbent ;  and  the  du- 
ties of  that  office  he  has  performed  ef- 
ficiently and  satisfactorily  to  the  pub- 
lic ui>  to  the  present  time. 

He  was  appc^inted  fire  marshall  by 
Mayor  Ives  in  1893,  a  position  which 
his  knowledge  of  building  construc- 
tion admirably  fits  him  to  serve  the 
interests  of  the  citizens.  He  has  also 
served  two  years  as  a  member  of  the 
Common  Council  and  was  a  member 
of  that  body  from  the  Fifth  ward  in

WILLIAM  L.  BRADLEY, 


Perhaps  no  resident  of  Meric 
during  the  century  of  its  existence 
an  incorporated  town,  ever  won  to 
higher  degree  the  admiration  and 
teem  of  his  fellow  townsmen  than 
the  late  William  L.  Bradlev.   His  lil 
furnishes  not  only  a  conspicnoas 
ample  of  perseverance  and 
worthy  to  be  chronicled  in  the 
of  history  but  one  which  may  well 
emulated   by   generations  follow 
him. 

Bom  in  Cheshire,  Conn.,  Ma} 
1826,  he  was  a  son  of  Levi  and  AMi 
gail  A.  (Atwater)  Bradley,  and  1^ 
progenitors  on  both  sides  are  tracdl 
directly  to  the  first  settlers  of  .V«*j 
Haven  county.  His  early  antes  rxJ 
William  Bradley,  was  a  major  in  Oij 
ver  Cromwell's  army,  and  he  kam^ 
grated  to  this  country  and  settled  il 
North  Haven  as  far  back  35

the  first  planters  of  New  Haven,  who 
tlie  records  show,  settled  there  iti  1639. 

William  L.  Bradley,  as  a  bo\ ,  at- 
tended the  district  school  of  his  native 
town,  following'  which  he  further  pur- 
sued his  education  at  the  academies 
of  Southing^ton  and  ( "hcsliire.  con- 
chiding  his  schooling  at  the  Lancas- 
terian  School  at  New  Haven. 

At  the  age  of  thirteen  he  began  his 
reinarkable  business  career  as  a  clerk 
in  a  New  Haven  dry  goods  store,  and 
at  seventeen  he  became  a  member  o£ 
the  firm  of  one  of  the  largest  dry 
goods  houses  in  that  city.  The  busi- 
ness not  being  entirely  congenial  to 
hi>  tastes  he  withdrew  his  interest  in 
ilie  store  and  entered  the  employ  of 
Charles  Parker  as  traveling  salesman. 
That  he  adapted  himself  to  his  new 
circumstances  with  unusual  versatil- 
ity seems  to  be  proven  by  his  success 
in  largely  increasing  the  sales  of  his 
employer. 

With  the  consent  of  Mr.  Parker,  he 
also  became  interested  with  a  friend 
in  the  manufacture  of  portemonnaies. 
and  later  in  the  manufacture  of 
cWcks  and  small  metal  wares  with  his 
brother.  Nathaniel  L.  Bradley,  and 
Walter  Hubbard,  which  afterward  de- 
veloped into  the  Bradley  &  Hubbard 
Manufacturing  Co..  the  largest  indus- 
try of  its  kind  in  the  world. 

During  this  period  he  purchased 
four  acres  of  land  in  West  Meriden 
and  erected  a  fine  residence  thereon, 
wliich  is  still  standing.  He  improved 
and  beautified  this  property  to  a  no- 
ticeable extent,  and  gradually  added 
more  land  to  the  estate  until  it  com- 


prised over  two  hundred  acres.  Tn 
this  house  his  two  sons,  I'eter 
n.  and  Robert  S.,  and  one  daughter, 
Abby  A.  Bradley,  who  now  survive 
him,  were  born,  and  with  his  family 
he  occupied  the  house  for  many  years. 
Although  it  is  now  over  forty  years 
since  he  removed  with  his  family 
from  the  city,  the  estate  nnw  occupied 
by  the  Meriden  Golf  Ckib,  is  still 
well  kept  and  almost  intact,  although 
as  stated  elsewhere  in  this  book,  is  ere 
long  to  be  cut  up  into  house  lots. 

It  was  in  1861  that  Mr.  Bradley 
saw  the  future  possibilities  of  chemi- 
cal fertilizers  and  it  was  he  who  first 
embraced  the  opportunity  in  this 
country  to  make  a  success  of  that  in- 
dustry. 

With  his  notes  endorsed  for  a  lim- 
ited amoTuit  by  Oakes  Ames,  of  Bos- 
ton, whom  he  had  interested  in  his 
project,  he  began  the  manufacture  of 
fertilizers  in  a  factory  situated  on  the 
banks  of  the  old  South  Bay,  Boston. 
The  business  soon  outgrew  this  small 
plant  and  later  another  anl  1  irger  fac- 
tory was  built  at  Xorth  \\  eymouth, 
which  eventually  became  the  largest 
of  its  kind  in  the  n-.  *'^^*!. 

Greater  and  greater  became  the  de- 
mand for  Bradley's  fertilizers  until 
their  use  became  general  among  the 
farmers  in  the  east  and  south. 

In  1872  the  business  was  incorpo- 
rated under  the  name  of  the  Bradley 
Fertilizer  Company  and  branch  offices 
were  established  at  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
Cleveland.  O..  Baltimore,  Md.,  and 
Augusta,  Ga.,  Mr.  Bradley  continuing 
at  the  head  of  the  corporation  as  pres-

ident  and  manager.  Later  he  became 
largely  interested  in  other  fertilizer 
works  at  Carteret,  N.  J.,  Cleveland, 
O.,  Baltimore,  Md.,  and  Charleston,  S. 
C,  besides  operating  extensive  phos> 
phate  mines  in  South  Carolina  and 
Florida. 

His  early  struggles  and  constant 
cares  so  impaired  his  health  that  he 
retired  from  active  business  some 
years  before  his  death,  and  .was  re- 
lieved from  the  management  of  his 
various  large  enterprises  by  his  sons, 
Peter  B.  and  Robert  S.  Bradley,  who 
had  been  associated  with  him  for 
many  years.  During  the  last  years  of 
his  life  he  devoted  much  of  his  time  to 
the  care  of  his  beautiful  country  es- 
tate  at  Hingham,  Mass.,  where  he 
died  after  a  short  illness  December 
15,  1894.  He  had  attained  the  age  of 
sixty-eight  years,  and  his  active  life, 
kind  disposition  and  benevolence  will 
ever  be  remembered  by  those  who 
knew  him. 

Mr.  Bradley  was  married  in  1848 
to  Frances  Martina  Coe,  the  daughter 
of  Calvin  and  Harriet  (Rice)  Coe, 
who  before  her  marriage  lived  with 
her  parents  on  the  celebrated  Coe  farm 
in  the  Hanover  district.  Two  sons 
and  one  daughter,  as  stated  above,  sur- 
vive him. 


THE  WM.  L.  BRADLEY  ESTATE. 


This  old  estate,  comprising  over 
200  acres,  and  one  of  the  grandest  in 
all  Connecticut,  is  soon  to  be  invaded 
by  streets  and  gradually  portioned  off 
into  residence  lots.   The  history  of 


this  estate,  every  square  foot  of  which 
furnishes  delightful  views  of  the  cel- 
ebrated Meriden  Hanging  Hills  and  ' 
other  charming  scenery  of  woodland  I 
hill  and  dale,  recalls  pleasant  mem-  j 
ories  to  the  people  of  Meriden,  both  ! 
of  present  and  past  generations. 

The  original  estate,  purchased 
from  Hezekiah  Rice  in  185 1  by  the 
late  William  L.  Bradley,  comprised 
but  four  acres  upon  which  Mr.  Brad- 
ley erected  a  fine  house  and  spent  a 
large  amount  of  money  in  beautifying 
the  grounds.  To  this  small  acreage 
he  continually  added  by  subsequent 
purchases  of  adjoining  property  until 
the  estate  embraced  over  two  hundred 
acres  of  the  most  beautiful  lands  in 
this  part  of  Connecticut. 

The  name  of  the  so-called  "Old 
Road"  was  changed  to  Bradley  ave- 
nue; and  Hanover  street  was  put 
through  on  the  other  side  of  the  prop- 
erty. The  Introduction  of  street  cars 
has  now  brought  the  whole  estate 
within  ten  minutes  of  the  heart  of 
Meriden. 

A  section  of  the  estate,  years  ago. 
was  converted  into  a  fair  grounds  and 
in  those  days  the  "Meriden  Fair**  was 
held  successfully  every  year.  The 
marks  of  the  old  race  track  over  whidi 
noted  races  were  run,  although  now 
merged  into  the  giant  velvety  lawn, 
are  still  discemable  on  close  inspec- 
tion. Within  the  past  few  years  the 
estate,  with  the  old  homestead  for  a 
club  house,  has  been  leased  by  the 
Meriden  Golf  Qub  and  used  exclu- 
sively by  the  members.  The  grounds 
have  been  admirably  laid  out  for  the

in  New  England. 

The  present  owners  of  this  proper- 
ty, Peter  P..  and  Robert  S.  Brad- 
ley, sons  of  the  late  W^illiani  I,.'  Brad- 
ley, both  of  whom  were  horn  in  the 
Bra<lley  honicstcad,  bnt  for  many 
years  have  been  prominent  in  business 
circles  of  Boston,  have  planned  to  al- 
low the  entire  estate  to  be  sold  into 
house  loti>,  stipulatins^^  only  that  honses 
to  !>e  built  thereon  shall  be  of  a  cer- 
tain value.  With  this  aim  in  view 
the  property  has  been  placed  in  the 
hands  of  the  well  known  real  estate 
asrents  of  Meriden.  Holt  &  Stevens, 
The  owners  will  furnish  capital  to 
build  houses  on  the  property  if  de- 
sired by  purchasers  of  land.  It  bids 
fair,  therefore,  to  assume  that  ere 
Meriflen  bej^ius  licr  seconti  century  as 
an  incorporated  town  the  picturesque 
l^radley  estate  will  have  assumed 
the  a[)pea ranees  and  evidences  of  a 
fashionable  residence  section. 


ANTHONY  S.  TUOMAS. 


Anthony  S.  Thnmas,  a  prominent 
Tiurchant  of  Meriden,  was  born  at 
Xcwburj^^h.  X.  Y.,  July  14,  1845.  ITe 
is  the  son  of  John  W.  and  Maliala 
Iliomas,  his  father  bein^  a  uative  01 
Leeds.  N.  \..  aud  was  an  iron  mould- 
er by  trade.  Mis  mother  died  when 
he  was  but  five  and  a  half  years  old 
and  he  was  but  thirteen  wlieu  he  was 
left  an  orphan.  He  received  his  early 
e<lucation  in  the  commou  scIkxjIs  of 
his  native  town  but  later  entered  the 


423 

pul)lic  schools  of  Napauoch  and  af- 
terwards coutinuing  his  schooling  at 
i^ort  Jervis,  X.  Y. ;  but  finally  re- 
turned and  hnishcd  his  education  at 
New  burgh. 

After  the  death  of  his  father  he  se- 
cured emi)loyment  in  a  general  store 
at  Cameron  Mills,  N.  Y..  where  he  se- 
cured his  first  insight  into  mercantile 
life.  After  some  \  ears' service  in  stores 
elsewhere  he  was  eugaL,'ed  as  salesman 
by  John  Hinchman  Co.,  a  whole- 
sale hosiery  concern  of  Xew  York 
City.  After  Mr.  Thomas  had  ac- 
quired a  lari;e  trade  he  became  later 
associated  with  tlie  wholesale  depart- 
ment of  Jordan,  Marsh  c'l-  Co.,  of  Bos- 
ton, for  whom  he  conlmued  represen- 
tative until  1881  when  he  established 
himself  in  business  in  Meriden  in  the 
present  location,  and  since  which  time 
the  store  has  been  noticeably  enlarged 
at  two  diflferent  periods. 

The  store  as  first  started  gave  em- 
ployment to  but  a  <lozeii  clerks.  The 
increase  in  the  business  has  been  both 
steady  and  rapid  and  the  store,  now  re- 
quiring tilty  clerks,  and,  with  the  sev- 
eral different  dep.irt merits,  ill  little 
stores  in  themselves,  furnishes  a  most 
desirable  esiablishnienl  for  |)atronage. 
Mr.  Thomas  is  a  thi)rr)u.i;h  business 
man  in  every  sense  and  gives  'his  per- 
sonal supervision  over  the  large  es- 
tablishment he  conducts  and  has  a 
most  competent  staff  of  assistants. 

Although  never  prevailed  upon  to 
accept  the  nomination  for  public  of-

CHARLES  L.  FLOTO. 

Charles  L.  Floto  (deceased)  was  a 
well  known  German  citizen,  whose 
residence  of  half  a  century  in  the  Sti- 
ver City  was  marked  by  that  indus^ 
try  which  is  a  prominent  characteris-

1857  he  was  attracted  hy  the  indus-

the  enij'lov  of  the  Bradley  &  Hubbard

and  hi>  CDniuetinn  with  the  shade  and

BELA  CARTER. 


It  is  true  of  many  citizens  that  the 
esteem  in  which  they  are  held  is  due 
to  their  conscientious  discharge  of  du- 
ties whether  of  a  civic  or  business 
character.  Of  such  a  type  was  Bela 
Carter,  a  descendant  in  the  sixth  cren- 
cration  of  Rev.  Thomas  Caritr.  the 
first  pastor  of  the  church  of  W'oburn, 
Mass.  This  clerj^yman.  who  was  Iwrn 
in  England  and  laid  the  f<Mi!i<Jation 
for  his  future  career  at  St.  j  .hn's  col- 
lege. I'niversity  of  Cambridge,  where 
he  received  the  degrees  of  li.  A.  and 
M.  D.,  emigrated  to  America  in  1635 
in  the  ship  "IManter."  He  went  to 
Dedham,  thence  to  W'atertown  and  in 
1642  was  ordained  at  W'oburn.  A 
further  study  of  .Mr.  Carter's  ances- 
try reveals  interesting  characters,  men 
who  inherited  from  the  pioneer  his 
zeal,  his  honesty  of  purpose,  his  con- 
scientiousness. 

Bela  Carter,  son  of  Silas  Johnson 
and  Ruth  (A'ining  i  Carter,  was  Ixirn 
Febuary  6,  1828.  in  Ilardwick,  Mass.. 
where  he  received  a  common  school 
education.  His  natural  ability  mani- 
fested  itself  at  the  early  age  of  six- 
teen when  he  began  teaching  pen- 
manship. Not  long  after  his  atten- 
tion was  directerl  to  the  trade  of  paint- 
ing and  interior  decorating-  which  he 
followed  in  1 'aimer,  .Mass.,  and 
Springfield,  .Mass.,  <lircctly  after,  lo- 
cating in  .Merideii  in  1850,  where  he 
established  himself  in  business  two 
years  later.  He  soon  became  inter- 
ested in  real  estate  in  which  he  dealt 
extensively  up  to  the  time  of  his  death 


and  was  considered  to  be  an  e\ 

on  Meriden  rralty.  one  of  his  b-^ 
est  transactions  being  the  sale  ot  di 
projjerty  known  as  "The  Flats,"  : 
a  part  of  which  stand  the  buil 
now  known  as  I'actory  E  of  the  iJ 
temational  Silver  Company.  He 
acted  as  agent  for  several  out  of  *  f 
savings  banks  for  the  placing  of '  ^  1 
and  incidental  business.  For 
years  he  was  a  director  in  the  T n 
National  t)ank  of  Meriden.     In  ci 
life  he  was  a  Whig,  but  later  bc\\;:i 
identified  with  the  Republican  pi:ti 

The  qualities  which  he  displa}  f '  i 
his  business  relations  gained  for  ^3 
the  esteem  and  confidence  of  hi-  '-t 
lowmen  so  that  during  the  Civil  va 
in  i8(>2.  he  was  elected  first  selec:;  J 
of  Meriden  and  was  re-elected  t'.\^ 
thereafter.  For  four  years  he 
treasurer  of  tlie  military  fund.  Ml  >i 
for  three  terms  in  the  Ctmrt  of  l'^ 
mon  Council  as  councilman  or  al  'ti 
man  and  served  for  si.x  years  as  clu  1 
man  of  the  Corner  School  Di>trK

J.  T.  POAHiROY. 


The  ancestry  of  the  late  James  Tib- 
bals  Pomeroy  embraces  Connecticut 
families  who  helped  to  lay  a  solid 
foundation  for  the  Nutmeg  state's 
greatness.  Many  of  the  men  were 
rugged  tillers  of  the  soil  who  derived 
their  n*»vsical  endurance  and  menta! 
firmness  among  the  rocks  and  loam 
where  they  labored  as  in  God's  vine- 
yarcl. 

The  Pomeroy  name  is  as  old  al- 
most as  the  hills  and  its  bearers  have 
no  cause  to  feel  ashamed  of  their 
forebears. 

His  father.  Xoah  Pomerov.  was  b\ 
turns  a  farmer  and  an  itinerant  tin 
peddler  in  th<xse  days  when  this  oc- 
cu])ation  was  lucrative,  highly  honor* 
able  and  full  of  the  charm  and  s]>icc 
of  life.  He  was  likewise  a  manufac- 
turer of  tin  and  again  a  farmer. 
Th.it  he  was  held  in  the  highest  re- 
s])ect  by  his  townsmen  is  evidenced 
by  the  public  offices  he  filled,  all  that 
were  in  the  gift  of  the  people.  The 
Universalist  church  of  this  citv  was 


organized  in  his  house  and  Mr.  Pucn 
eroy  was  one  of  its  most  able  snp 
porters.  The  greater  a  man's  nn-na 
caliber,  the  greater  the  duties  that  ar 
borne  by  him  ;  it  is  quite  natural,  rhrr* 
fore,  to  find  Mr.  Pomeroy  one  01  th 
first  directors  of  the  Meriden  bani 
and  later  its  president. 

lames  Pomeroy  was  bom  in  tin

Law,  was  governor  of  Connecticut. 
He  is  the  son  of  Orrin  Hall  and  Anna 
G.  Hall,  a  daughter  of  Brenton  Hall, 
of  Meriden.  His  father,  like  several 
men  of  the  town,  who  afterwards  be- 
came prominent  in  the  manufacturing 
and  business  life  of  the  locality,  during 
the  past  century,  in  early  life  drove 
a  peddler*s  team  and  supplied  the  peo- 
ple in  portions  of  the  southern  states 
with  the  product  of  Meriden  factories. 
He  spent  the  last  years  of  his  life  on 
his  farm  at  East  Meriden. 

Russell  Hall,  as  a  boy,  worked  on 
the  home  farm  during  his  spare  time 
and  was  educated  in  the  district 
school,  under  the  veteran  teacher, 
James  Atkins.  Inheriting  a  taste  for 
trading  from  his  father,  at  the  age  of 
eighteen,  with  a  small  sum  of  money 
which  he  had  saved  from  his  previous 
earnings,  he  engaged  in  the  making  of 
tinware  and  supplied  peddlers  with 
the  then  small  product  of  his  industry. 
At  the  end  of  eight  years,  his  business 
had  increased  to  such  an  extent  that 
he  was  warranted  in  adding  grocery 
store  supplies  and  established  himself 
in  his  present  business,  which  has  in- 
creased to  that  of  ihc  lari^est  in  his 
line,  in  this  part  of  the  state.  His  rep- 
utation for  deahnu  in  honest  goods  at 
the  lowest  juhljwig  prices,  together 
with  his  energy  and  popularity  among 
the  trade,  have  been  prominent  factors 
in  h'\>  .success.  With  the  aid  of  trav-

He  has  ever  been  known  as  an  cn- 
thiisiaslic  man  of  business,  and  he  has 
made  many  profitable  investments  in 
real  estate ;  and  ])roperty  which  he  has 
purchased  in  different  j)arts  of  the  city 
has  invariably  shown  the  result  of  the 
ownership  of  a  fair  minded  landlord. 
His  residence  on  ICast  Main  street  is 
one  of  the  handsomest  in  Mcriden  and 
is  one  of  the  most  thoroughly  built 
domiciles  in  this  vicinity.  In  1905  he 
erected  near  it,  the  construction  of 
which  was  also  under  his  personal  su- 
pervision, another  handsome  residence 
for  his  son.  Mr.  Hall  is  known  as  one 
of  the  thoroughly  upright  men  of  Mer- 
iden,  and  is  highly  esteemed  in 
the  community.  His  generosity  has 
been  oftentimes  demonstrated  to  his 
fellow  citizens  and  within  a  year  of  the 
present  writing,  he  donated  $1,000  to 
the  Curtis  Memorial  Library,  His  in- 
terest in  the  affairs  of  his  native  town 
seems  to  be  unbounded.  Mr.  Hall  is 
interested  in  the  First  Baptist  church, 
and  in  politics  is  a  Democrat. 

He  has  been  twice  married :  First  to 
Emily  Preston,  daughter  of  Ira  Pres- 
ton, deceased.  He  was  again  married 
June  28;  1866,  to  Mary  E.,  daughter 
of  Ransom  and  Sarah  (Twiss)  liald- 
win.  and  six  children  have  been  born 
to  them:  Howard  Baldwin,  who  was 
recently  married  to  Gertrude  B.  Wet-

the  only  one  surviving.

in  Xaugatuck.  January  30.  1829.  At 
the  age  of  six  years  he  moved  to 
Oneida,  N.  Y.,  with  his  parents,  and 
in  that  town  he  first  attended  school. 
At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  returned  to 
Xaugatuck  and  lived  with  his  old 
uncle,  completing  his  education  at  the 
W'aterbury  High  .school. 

In  1854  he  married  Julia  E.  Beech-

It  has  been  happily  said  that  there 
is  a  divinity  which  sha|)es  our  ends

that  any  other  ship  was  saihng  into 
his  port,  but  when  AIlx?rt  Otis  was 
made  chief  of  police  in  Aleriden  an 
impulse  to  enter  a  new  field  became  a 
chance  and  Mr.  Stevens  bought  out 
the  interests  of  the  new  city  official 
in  tlie  firm  of  Frank  atid  Albert  Otis^ 
from  which  date  he  has  been  contin- 
uously engaged  in  the  fire  insurance 
and  real  estate  business.  Two  years 
later  in  1872,  he  bought  out  the  re- 
maining interests  of  Frank  Otis. 

Mr,  Stevens'  first  office  was  in  a 
small  one-story  building  which  stood 
on  the  present  site  of  the  Byxbee 
block,  but  for  the  past  thirty  years 
his  offices  have  been  in  the  Wilcox 
block.  Up  to  1897  he  had  a  steam- 
ship and  money  draft  agency  and  for 
many  years  he  was  the  only  steam- 
ship agent  in  Meriden. 

Mr.  Stevens'  business  career  has 
been  an  honorable  one,  and  no  man  in 
Meriden  enjoys  to  a  greater  extent 
the  confidence  of  the  community. 

Mr.  Stevens'  political  sympathies 
are  Democratic,  and.  while  he  has 
never  sought  office,  he  served  one 
year  on  the  board  of  selectmen.  He 
belongs  to  Hancock  lodge,  I.  O.  O. 
F.,  and  the  A.  O.  U.  W.  For  many 
years  he  has  been  a  member  of  the 
First  Methodist  church  of  which  he 
is  steward. 

At  his  residence  in  South  Meriden 
comfort  and  plenty  are  in  evidence 
and  here  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Stevens  are 
enjoying  marital  relations  that  have 
extended  over  a  period  of  fifty-one 
years.  They  have  one  daughter,  Mrs. 
Albert  Rice,  of  Cheshire. 


FRANCIS  ATWATER. 


Francis  Atwater,  one  of  the  roorc 
prominent  figures  of  Meriden  busi 
ncss  life  and  president  of  the  Jour- 
nal I'ubiishing  Company,  was  bom 
in  Plymouth.  Litchfield  county.  Con- 
necticut.  in  1858.  He  comes  from 
distinguished  ancestry  and  is  de- 
scended from  David  Atwater,  the  fir?! 
signer  of  the  planters'  agreement  of 
the  New  Haven  colony  in  1638.  '  hi 
the  maternal  side  he  is  a  direct  dt- 
scendant  of  Benjamin  Fenn,  the  firs', 
magistrate  of  New  Haven  colony. 

As  a  boy  he  came  to  Meriden  an«- 
became  associated  with  the  printim: 
and  publishing  business  and  after  be  j 
had  learned  the  trade  of  a  printer,  at 
the  youthful  age  of  sixteen,  he  wa« 
given  charge  of  the  mechanical  de- 
partment of  the  Meriden  Recorder, 
which  at  that  time  was  the  leadioi; 
paper  of  the  town.   At  twenty  yean- 
of  age,  he  established  the  Wiader- 
mere  Weekly  Forum,  in  Wallingford. 
which  he  published  for  one  year  tmti! 
it  was  sold.   He  afterwards  went 
Hartford  and  became  assistant  hrt- 
man  of  the  composing  room  of  the 
Hartford    Couiant.  Later 
west  on  account  of  ill  health,  he  lo-

ager of  the  Red  Bluflf  Sentinel,  which 
paper  he  carried  on  for  a  time.  Re-

water  embraced  the  opportunity,  and 
wltii  Frank  £.  Sands,  Lew  Allen  and 
Thomas  L.  Reilly,  launched  the  Meri- 
den  Daily  Journal  which  has  ever  since 
thoroughly  covered  the  evening  field, 
each  year  gaining'  in  circulation,  ad- 
vertising patronag^  and  influence, 
until  it  has  become  one  of  the  best 
paying  publications  in  C^necticut. 
It  occupies  its  own^finFproof  build- 
ing, in  which  The  journal  Publish- 
ing Company  now  'possesses  one  of 
the  most  complete  printing  giants  in 
all  New  England  asjs  stated^&t  some 
length  elsewhere  in"^-  this  volume. 
Since  its  incorporation  April  2,  1886, 
Mr.  Atwater  has  Ijfeen  the  head;  and 
to  his  able  leadership  is  the  success 
of  the  now  large  business  consider* 
ably  due. 

Mr.  Atwater  has  been  a  prime  mov- 
er in  many  other  lar^  enterprises,  in 
all  of  which  he  has  b^^.  emjpentl^ 
successful.  He  v^'-Ofie  ^^^$f~ 
ganizers  of  the  M^riden,  Southingtoii 
&  Compounce  Tramway  Company,  the 
capital  for  which  was  raised  largely 
through  his  effort  and  to  the  construc- 
tion of  the  road  he  also  gave  his  per- 
sonal supervision. 

After  the  close  of  the  Spanish- 
American  war,  he  became  financial 
agent  of  Clara  Barton  of  Red  Cross 
fame  and  honor,  who  had  known  him 
from  childhood.  At  her  request  he 
accompanied  her  to  Cuba  whither  she 
went  to  establish  asylums  for  the  un- 
fortunate reconcentrados.  While  in 
Havana,  Mr.  Atwater  saw  an  oppor- 
tunity to  start  the  first  American 
newspaper,  the  Havana  Journal,  and 


of  this  newspaper,  which  became  an 
organ  wielding  an  immense  influence, 
he  retained'  the  control  until  he  re- 
ceived an  offer  from  a  syndicate  to 
dispose  of  it  most  advantageously. 
He  afterwards  and  without  relin- 
quishing his  interests  in  Meriden, 
purchased  the  Daily  News  of  New 
Britain  which  he  carried  on  for  a  time. 
He  then  bought  the  Waterbury 
Daily  Republican,  the  only  morning 
newspaper  in  the  Naugatuck  Valley, 
which  he  conducted  imtil  he  placed  it 
on  a  paying  basis  and  then  sold  it  at 
a  handsome  profit. 

In  1905  he  was  chosen  a  director 
and  president  of  the  Washington 
State  Colonization  Company,  exten- 
sive owners  and  buyers  of  lands  in 
the  state  of  Washit^on  and  which 
has  within  the  past  year  established  a 
large  colony  in  that  delightful  resi-

which,  however,  he  was  not  permitted 
to  do.  In  1877  he  was  appointed 
state's  attorney  of  New  Haven  coun- 
ty, wliich  office  he  held  for  two  years. 

In  i.S-g  he  was  first  elected  by  the 
state  legislature  to  fill  the  vacancy  in 
the  United  States  Senate  caused  by 
the  death  of  Senator  Orris  S.  Ferry, 
Republican,  his  election,  however,  be- 
ing a  surprise,  for  he  was  chosen  on 
the  thirty-eighth  ballot,  through  the 
successful  work  of  Senator  H.  Wales 
Lines  and  others  who  took  advantage 
oi  the  situation  when  a  compromise 
candidate  had  to  be  found.    His  ca* 
reer  in  the  United  States  Senate,  from 
the  time  when  he  first  took  his  seat, 
was  most  remarkable,  and  he  was  al- 
ways his  own  successor,  being  re- 
elected at  the  expiration  of  every  suc- 
ceeding term  until  his  regretted  de- 
cease.  For  many  years  before  his 
death  he  was  counted  as  one  of  the 
most  influential  figures  at  the  Nation- 
al capital,  whose  counsel  was  much 
sought  and  relied  upon  by  the  pres- 
ident« and  members  of  the  cabinet. 
Without  resorting  to  the  tactics  of  the 
politician  he  became  the  dean  of  the 
senate  and  attained  the  highest  legis- 
lative rank  in  the  Union.   Always  a 
man  of  rare  example,  he  developed  in- 
to a  statesman  in  every  sense  and  was 
an  orator  who  could  adapt  himself  in- 
stantly to  every  occasion.   He  was  a 
perfect  master  of  diction  and  his  ir- 
resistible logic  and  sound  reasoning 
made  him  a  strong  power  in  the  high- 
est legislative  body  in  the  land.  His 
loyalty  to  the  government  and  to  the 
Republican  party  was  never  ques- 


tioned and  his  honesty  of  purpose, 
coupled  with  tlio  remarkahle  ability 
which  he  developed  in  the  latter  part 
of  his  life,  won  him  the  respect,  con- 
fidence and  love  of  the  nation.  He 
was  one  of  the  gicat  men  of  the 
United  States  who  was  never  puffed 
up  by  public  praise  but  treated  every 
man  whether  he  were  great  or  small 
with  the  same  consideration  and  def- 
erence. His  modest  bearing  under  all 
circtmLstances  made  it  always  appar- 
ent that  he  was  a  true  gentleman. 

In  Meriden.  where  he  resided,  he 
never  became  greater  than  his  fellow- 
townsmen  by  whom  he  was  greatly 
beloved  for  his  many  good  traits  as  a 
citizen.  Without  show  or  ostentation 
he  was  the  promoter  of  more  chris^ 
tian  and  philanthropic  work  than  was 
ever  generallv'  known. 

During  the  last  years  of  his  life  he 
occupied  a  summer  place  at  Washing- 
ton, Conn.,  his  native  town,  and  there 
his  funeral  services  were  held  and 
which  were  attended  almost  unani- 
mously by  the  leading  citizens  of  Mer- 
iden  as  well  as  many  prominent  in  na- 
tional affairs.

HENRY  DRYHURST. 


Henry  Dryhurst/  postmaster,  has 
/ed  nearly  all  his  life  in  Meriden. 
e  came  here  in  1865  from  Taunton, 
[ass.,  and  he  had  previously  resided 

Providence,  R.  I.  He  is  the  son 
Henry  Dryhurst  and  Eleanor 
^ewis)  Dryhurst,  and  he  has  broth- 
s  and  sisters  living  as  follows: 
raisa  £.,  wife  of  Montgomery  R* 
jdd ;  Rowland  L.,  of  Rockford,  111. ; 
ugh,  of  Hartford ;  Eleanor,  of  New 
ork  City;  Laura  A.,  of  Meriden, 
id  Emma,  wife  of  Edwin  W.  Hall, 

WalUngford. 

Mr,  Dryhurst  attended  the  district 
hools  until  ht5  fourteenth  year, 
Eien,  being  employed  da>'s  by  the 
:e  George  R.  Willmot,  he  began  at- 
fiding  the  evening  school  kept  by 
e  Rev.  and  Mrs,  J.  T.  Pettee,  and 
er  received  instruction  in  the  high- 
studies  from  Alfred  E.  Ives  and 
nily  J.  Leonard, 

In  1877  Mr.  Dryhurst  secured  a 
rtial  clerkship  in  the  post-office 
iiere  being  in  those  days  no  civil 
vice),  under  Postmaster  Erwin  D. 
ill.  Being  thus  employed  but  a 
V  hours  a  dav  Mr.  Drvhurst  decid- 
,  in  connection  with  his  duties  in 
i  post  office,  to  take  up  the  study 
the  law. 

He  read  law  in  the  offices  of  Rat- 
ffc  Hicks.  George  A.  Fay  and  of 
r  late  Orville  H.  Piatt,  and  was  ad- 
[ted  to  the  Xew  Haven  county  bar 

1884- 

fn  1890  Mr.  Dryhurst  was  appoint- 
postniaster  of  Meriden  by  Presi- 


dent Benjamin  Harrison.  When  his 
temi  as  postmaster  expired  a  change 
in  the  national  administration  obliged 
Mr.  Dryhurst  to  resume  the  practice 
of  law.  Four  years  later,  however, 
he  was  reappointed  postmaster  by 
President  McKinley  and  in  18^  his 
third  appointment  was  signed  by 
President  Roosevelt. 

In  early  manhood  Mr.  Dryhurst 
gave  attention  to  politics,  has  served 
several  years  as  chairman  of  the  Re- 
publican town  committee,  and  has  at- 
tended as  delegate,  state,  congression- 
al, senatorial  and  city  conventions  of 
his  party.  From  its  organization  Mr. 
Dryhurst  has  been  chairman  of  the 
First  Meriden  Building  and  Loan  as- 
sociation, and  he  was  chairman  of  the 
committee  which  invited  President 
Roosevelt  to  visit  Meriden  and  enter- 
tained him  August  22,  1902. 

When  Mr.  Drvhurst  first  assumed 
the  duties  of  postmaster  the  Meriden 
office  was  in  the  second  class  and 
had  six  carriers  and  six  clerks.  The 
office  entered  the  first  class  during 
Mr.  Dryhurst *s  first  term  of  service, 
and  has  now  seventeen  regular  clerks, 
twenty  regular  carriers,  and  seven 
stations. 

It  was  Mr.  Drvhurst  who  first  con- 
ceived  the  idea  of  having  a  federal 
building  for  the  Meriden  post  office. 
He  interested  the  late  Senator  O.  H. 
Ptatt  in  the  project,  who  obtained 
an  appropriation  of  $100,000  from  the 
Congress  for  that  purpose.  The  site 
at  the  corner  of  Colony  and  Brooks 
streets  was  selected  for  the  building, 
which  will  be  erected  as  soon  as  an

Ufbcd  by  the  death  of  his  mother 
the  .removal  of  Judge  Donahoe  to 
dldown,  Mr.  Reilly  found  circum- 
CCS  unfavorable  to  the  continuance 
lis  legal  studies  and  took  a  posi- 
as  book-keeper  with  J.  F.  Butler* 
inuing  with  him  until  1880,  when 
ecame  the  Meriden  correspondent 
le  New  Haven  Union.  Later  Mr. 
y  became  connected  with  the 
iden  Penny  Press,  under  J,  H. 
bett,  filling  a  reportorial  position. 


and  still  later  was  associated  in  a  like 
capacitx  with  W.  F.  Graham,  on  the 
Meriden  Republican,  remaining  with 
this  latter  journal  until  December, 
1885,  when  he  went  to  the  New  Ha- 
veri  Register.  He  was  that  paper's 
legislative  reporter  during  the  session 
of  1886.  In  Aj^ril,  iSSC),  with  Fran- 
cis At  water.  F.  E.  Sands  and  Lew  Al-

ing  company,  and  was  made  secre- 
tary of  the  company  and  city  editor 
of  the  paper,  with  which  he  has  been 
ever  since  connected. 

An  active  Democrat,  he  has  been 
one  of  the  leaders  in  his  party  in  Mer- 
iden, and  in  the  presidential  campaign 
of  1900  he  was  elected  chairman  of  the 
Town  committee,  and  the  Republican 
majority  was  reduced  from  1^447  in 
1896  to  54  in  1900.

Hcriaan  Hess,  the  present  town  and 
city  clerk  of  Mcriden,  and  who  has 
h.e!  1  these  offices  for  a  loni::er  jieriod 
than  any  other  man  in  the  history  of 
the  town,  was  born  in  iMeriden,  April 
4.  1 861.  He  is  of  German  parentage 
ar.  1  the  son  of  Frederick  and  Johan- 
na ( Yooke)  Hess.  His  father,  whose 
<ieaih  occurred  in  1898,  from  his  early 
r/.snhood  was  a  respected  and  indus- 
trious citizen  of  Meriden  and  was 
ore  of  the  first  of  his  nationality  to 
settle  in  this  part  of  the  state.  He 
was  for  eighteen  years  employed  in 
the  mechanical  department  of  the  Mer- 
iden  Britannia  Company  and  pursued 
the  calling  of  a  burnisher  until  his 
^eath.  He  was  a  veteran  of  the  Civil 
Mar,  an  honored  member  of  Merriam 
Post,  G.  A.  R.,  and  both  he  and  his 
wife  were  devoted  members  of  the 
Cerman  Lutheran  church  of  Meriden. 

Herman  Hess*  than  whom  the  res- 
idents believe  there  is  none  better 
fitted  by  ability  and  disposition  to  keep 
the  records  of  both  the  town  and  the 
•city,  is  a  man  liberally  educated  but 
his  knowledge  has  been  acquired 
largely  outside  of  that  limited  educa- 
tion which  his  parents  were  able  to 
give  him.  He  attended  the  public 
schools  only  until  he  was  eleven  years

dnnng  which  time  he  spent  his  even- 
ings in  home  study  thereby  depriving 
himself  the  pleasures  enjoyed  by  oth- 
er boys 

In  1877  he  obtained  a  clerkship  in 
tlie  employ  of  the  N.  Y.,  N.  H.  H.  R. 
k.,  and  served  in  the  freight  ottices  of 
that  company  both  in  Meriden  and 
Xew  Haven,  and  one  year  in  the  tick- 
et department.  In  1882,  he  became  a 
bookkeeper  at  the  office  of  the  Mer- 
iden Malleable  Iron  Co.,  where  he  re- 
mained for  five  years  more,  and  added 
to  his  reputation  as  a  skillful  and  ac- 
cnrate  accountant. 

He  began  his  public  career  as  city 
auditor  in  1883,  when  he  was  elected 
to  fill  a  vacancy.  In  1886,  he  was 
elected  town  clerk  and  registrar  of 
vital  statistics.  In  the  following 
city  election,  of  the  same  year,  he  was 
also  chosen  city  clerk  and  has  been 
re-elected  each  subsequent  year  to  the 
present  writing  and  since  1892,  al- 
though a  Democrat,  has  been  honored 
with  the  nomination  of  both  parties. 
His  incumbency  of  the  offices  has  been 
especially  pleasing  to  the  citizens  of 
the  town,  for  not  only  has  he  fulfilled 
the  complicated  duties  in  a  manner 
most  satisfactory  to  the  public,  but 
he  has  familiarized  himself  so  thor- 
(3ughly  with  the  town  and  cit\-  rec-

capacity  have  become  almost  inval-

SIDXEV  D.  TUFTS. 


The  death  of  Sidney  D.  Tufts  on 
Dvemher  11,  1891,  at  the  age  of 
«.  marked  the  passing  away  of  an 
•right  man  and  pubHc-spirited  citi- 
n.  For  twenty-three  years,  Mr. 
•fts  was  a  contractor  at  the  Wil- 
X  Silver  Plate  Company  (now  Fae- 
ry \.  International  Silver  Com- 
ny). 

•Meriden  is  proud  of  men  who  have 
•ne  their  duty  as  they  have  seen  it, 
itting  forth  their  best  efforts  in  their 
ily  work,  even  when  that  work 
ought  no  high  rewards.  Such  a 
an  was  Mr.  Tufts.  He  had  a  wide 
•cle  of  acquaintances  and  friends 
lo  were  attracted  to  him  because  of 
5  sterling  qualities. 
.Mr.  Tufts  was  a  quiet,  domestic 
an,  one  who  found  pleasure  in  his 
in  cheerful  home.  He  was  a  firm 
liever  in  fraternal  life  also  and  was 
iliated  with  many  of  the  orders 
omineiit  in  the  city.  He  was  a 
uling  member  of  Meriden  Center 
xlge,  I.  O.  O.  F.,  Columbia  Coun- 
I.  O.  U.  A.  M.,  Electric  Lodge,  X. 
.  ().  P.,  and  for  a  time  a  member  of 
afis  Encampment.  The  friendships 
mied  in  these  organizations  were 
any  and  congenial  and  his  death 
used  sorrow  that  was  deep  and 
rnuine. 

He  was  held  in  high  regard  by  the 
ficers  of  the  Wilcox  Silver  Plate  Co. 


and  by  the  men  who  worked  under 
him.  In  his  business  relations  he  was 
strictly  honest  and  just  and  the  many 
years  he  held  the  contract  in  the  rouge 
buffing  department  is  an  indication  of 
the  satisfactory  (piality  of  his  work. 

Mr.  Tufts'  home  at  9  Gladwin  place 
was  a  most  hospitable  one  and  there 
he  and  Mrs.  Tufts  were  wont  to  find 

comfort     and    contentment.  They

were  ever  ready  to  receive  their 
friends  and  the  latter  were  able  to 
gain  an  insight  into  what  might  well 
be  termed  a  model  household.  Mr. 
Tufts'  wife  survives  him.  He  left  no 
children. 

It  is  such  men  as  Sidney  D,  Tufts 
who  constitute  the  backbone  of  Meri- 
den or  any  other  progressive  commun- 
ity.   A    manufacturing    city  needs

W'elennie  V..  lU-nhani.  fnnnder  of  the 
^'oun«<  Mens  Christian  .\ssociation, 
of  Meriden,  the  first  to  construct  its 
own  building  in  New  England,  and 
one  whose  life  was  devoted  to  relig- 
ious labor,  was  born  in  Cheshire.  Sep- 
tember 9,  1820.  and  died  at  Meriden 
August  23.  1898.  He  w.as  educated 
in  the  Cheshire  common  schools  and 
South  ington  academy.  After  his 
graduation  from  the  latter,  he  taught 
district  school  for  three  winters,  and 
afterwards  concluded  his  education  at 
the  Oberlin,  O.,  Collegiate  Institute, 
where  he  was  a  student  from  1837- 
184 1,  but  on  account  of  ill  health  was 
compelled  to  give  up  his  studies. 

In  1847,  having  regained  his  health, 
he  became  a  traveling  bookseller,  cov- 
ering a  territory  in  central  Connecti- 
cut, for  over  a  period  of  thirty  years, 
his  sales  during  that  time,  a  portion 
of  which  were  Bibles,  aggregated 
$200,000.  In  1850  he  made  a  tour 
abroad,   visiting   England,  Ireland, 


France  and  Italy,  and  in  1854  he  noi

parent and  it  was  his  dehfjht  to  per- 
form acts  of  kindness.  He  placed  a 
free  ice  water  barrel  in  front  of  the 
Palace  block  and  this  he  looked  after 
)ersonally  for  many  years,  and  the 
:irinkinj^  fountain  at  the  head  of 
IVown  street  was  dedicated  to  him. 

He  served  for  some  years  as  chair- 
nan  of  the  Corner  school  district  com- 
nittee  and  officiated  as  a  member  of 
he  school  board  for  nine  years,  two 
»f  which  he  was  actinjj  school  visitor, 
during  his  service  he  introduced 
trinted  school  reports  and  schedules  of 
chool  terms.  His  efforts  in  behalf  of 
ree  schools  enabled  Meriden  to  pass 
lown  in  history  as  the  first  town  in 
his  state  to  adopt  them.  In  1884  he 
,as  chairman  of  the  Winthrop  Square 
Vssociation  that  established  the  pres- 
nt  green  opposite  the  railroad  sta- 
on  which  has  since  added  to  the 
eauty  of  the  city.  In  1882  he  wrote, 
histrated  and  published  a  of  240 
ajjcs  containing  sketches  of  his  life 
nd  writings ;  and  through  his  person- 
1  efTort  for  church,  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and 
thcr  benevolent  purposes,  he  solic- 
ed  and  obtained  from  the  generous 
jblic  of  Meriden  over  $60,000,  with- 
it  ever  desiring  or  receiving  any  com- 
jn.sation  except  the  ])leasure  such 
►niniendable  work  afforded  him.  His 
?ath  was  a  sad  loss  to  Meriden ; 
•r  his  life  was  largely  spent  in  good 
orks  that  were  always  wrought  by 
m  purely  in  the  interests  of  his 
llowman.  He  is  survived  by  a 
idcjw  and  daughter.  Mary  J.  lien-

JOSEPH  E.  COE. 

By  the  death  of  Joseph  E.  Coe  on 
May  5,  1902,  Meriden  lost  a  most 
earnest  and  indefatigable  worker  in 
the  cause  of  temperance  and  Chris- 
tianity ;  a  man  who  devoted  his  life 
to  the  betterment  of  his  fellows.  He 
was  born  on  a  farm  in  the  town  of 
Middlefield,    Connecticut.    June  16,

His  early  life  was  spent  on  the  farm, 
but  he  desired  a  wider  field  for  his 
activities  and  when  he  felt  sure  of  his 
mission  he  began  to  devote  his  ener- 
gies in  behalf  of  mankind,  a  service 
to  which  practically  the  remainder  of 
his  long  life  was  given.  He  had  wise- 
ly invested  his  early  savings  and  had 
displayed  much  business  ability.  His

investments  in  Chicagi>  real  estate 
brought  to  him  a  comfortable  income 
which,  to  a  lame  oxlt-nt,  he  api)lied  to 
the  carrying  out  oi  hia  plans  as  a  re- 

furuicr. 

Mr.  Coe  was  a  strong  advocate  o£ 
tcuipcram  r  and  was  a  consistent  ene- 
my of  tol»acco.  He  was  every  ready 
to  denounce  the  vices  lie  had  sot  out 
to  oppose  although  ofieii  to  do  so  re- 
quired no  small  dcLrrec  of  courage. 

Mr.  Coe  was  kTiown  throughout  the 
country  as  a  distributor  of  Bible 
leaves.  At  pr^eat  expense  to  himself 
lie  traveled  many  tliousaiid  of  miles, 
C()\  ering  every  state  ot  the  Union,  in 
order  to  distribute  these  tracts,  one 
leaf  at  a  time.  This  re(|uired  atout 
2,000  copies  of  the  revised  and  4,000 
copies  of  the  King  James  version  of 
the  N'ew  Testament. 

Mr.  Coe  was  always  interested  in 
edrcation  and  c:ave  freely  of  his  mon- 
ey in  behalf  of  schools.  He  was 
prominent  in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  work  and 
was  an  active  member  of  the  Amer- 
ican Bible  Society  of  New  York  City. 
He  was  a  promoter  of  the  Meridcn 
hospital  and  was  much  interested  in 
its  work.  Tic  provided  commodious 
quarters  in  the  Middlefield  town  hall 
for  the  W.  C.  T.  V.  in  whose  work 
he  also  took  a  deep  interest.  In  the 
work  he  had  made  peculiarly  his  own 
he  employed  others.  pa\  ing  them  out 
of  his  own  means.  In  all  these  causes 
there  are  few  men  who  have  proved 
themselves  so  devoted  as  Mr.  Coe, 
whose  time  and  thought,  whose  ener- 
^  and  money  were  given  without  the 
slightest  expectation  of  personal  gain.

Mr.  Wheeler  has  conducted  a  large 
plumbing,  gasfitting,  heating  and

steady  employment.  From  a  long 
and  honorable  business  career,  Mr. 
Wheeler  has  become  one  of  the  most 
responsible  business  men  of  the  town. 


GEORGE  A.  CHURCH. 


George  A.  Church,  one  of  Meriden's 
ablest  merchants  and  respected  citi- 
zens, and  from  1878  until  the  time  of 
his  death,  senior  member  of  the  firm  of 
Church  &  Morse,  and  for  some  years 
previous  to  that  engaged  in  the  hard- 
ware business  in  Meriden,  w'as  born 
in  Hartford,  May  11,  1847.  He  was 
the  son  of  Abner  and  Lucy  Church 
and  was  educated  in  the  public  schools 
of  Hartford  and  Cheshire  Academy. 
After  the  war  broke  out,  although  a 
mere  boy  he  enlisted  in  the  Union 
army  as  a  private  and  saw  active  ser- 
vice as  a  member  of  the  64th  111.  \'ols. 
Infantry, 

He  came  to  Meriden  in  1872,  after 
having  received  a  business  education 
from  his  previous  experience,  and  en- 
gaged in  the  hardware  business  as  a 
member  of  the  firm  of  Church  & 
S|)rague,  in  a  store  on  East  Main 
street  in  the  vicinity  of  the  depot

Colony  street.  In  1878  Mr.  Church 
bought  the  interest  of  Mr.  Sprague 
and  continued  the  growing  business 
lor  one  year:  but  at  the  end  of  that 
tim«,  Charles  V.  Morse  bought  a  half 
interest  and  the  business  has  ever  since 
been  conducted  under  the  firm  name 
>f  Church  &  Morse.  Since  the 
death  of  his  father,  Robert  G.  Church 
has  represented  the  interests  of  the 
estate  and  taken  his  place  in  the  store. 
The  growth  of  the  business  of  Church 
&  Morse  to  that  of  the  largest  in  the 
hardware  line  in  Meriden,  is  in  no 
small  degree  due  to  the  soniew  li  't  re- 
markable business  acumen  of  the  late 
Geoi^e  .\.  Church.  He  was  known 
as  one  of  Meriden's  most  progressive 
merchants  and  his  popularity,  both  in 
and  out  of  his  store,  will  be  long  re* 
menibered  by  the  people  of  Meriden 
and  vicinity. 

Mr.  Church  was  a  familiar  figure 
in  social  life  as  well  as  a  business 
man  standing  high  in  the  community ; 
he  was  a  prominent  member  of  the 
Masonic  fraternity,  in  which  he  hlled 
a  large  place  in  the  hearts  of  his 
brethren.  He  was  eminently  devoted 
to  that  craft  and  his  energy  was  ex- 
erted to  the  best  results.  Among  his 
prominent  characteristics  were  his 
scrupulous  honesty,  faithfulness  t<> 
trusts,  whetlur  in  private  or  ofhcial 
relations,  and  fidelity  to  principles 
which  he  might  espouse  without  re- 
gard to  either  popular  clamor  or  fa- 
vor. Mr.  Church  was  also  a  member 
of  the  Red  Men  and  his  connection 
with  that  order  will  cause  him  to  be 
long  remembered  by  his  fellow  braves. 


He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Home 
Club  and  his  good  fellowship  there 
made  his  loss  greatly  deplored  by  its 
members.  For  many  years  before  his 
death  he  was  also  a  member  of  Mer- 
riam  Post»  G.  A.  R.  His  death,  Sep- 
tember 13,  1S96,  came  without  warn- 
ing and  caused  great  surprise  nnd  pain 
in  the  community,  with  which  he  had 
become  so  thoroughly  a  part. 

He  was  married  in  Middletown, 
Conn.,  1875,  to  Lucy  R.  Goodell,  to 
whom  three  sons  have  been  born : 
Robert  G.,  Howard  W.  and  William 
B.  Church,  who  with  Mrs.  Church, 
survive  him  and  still  reside  in  the 
same  residence,  93  Crown  street 


WILLIAM  F,  ROCKWELL. 


William  Francis  Rockwell  was  bom 
in  Ridgefield,  Conn.,  Janunry  12,  1845, 
and  died  at  his  home  in  Meridin, 
Conn.,  January  5,  190 1.  His  early 
education  was  acquired  at  a  pri- 
vate school.  He  afterwards  graduat- 
ed from  Fort  Edward  Collegiate  In- 
stitute. His  business  career  began  in 
the  forwarding  and  commission  house 
of  Miller  P.ros.,  in  New  York,  when 
about  eighteen  years  of  age.  He 
held  an  important  position  with  that 
concern  for  several  years,  being  sta- 
tioned at  Norfolk.  \'a.,  as  supercargo 
of  a  vessel  during  the  war.  In  iHO^

pated in  the  reorganization  of  the 
Miller  Bros.  Cutlery  Company.  That 
.concern  had  failed  for  a  large  amount 
and  Mr.  Rockwell,  in  connection  with 
four  other  gentlemen,  bought  out  the 
plant  and  reorganized  the  company. 
Mr.  Rockwell  became  treasurer  and 
general  manager,  and  the  late  Lem- 
nel  J.  Curtis  was  the  first  president. 
At  the  death  of  Mr.  Curtis,  I.  C.  Lew- 
is became  president,  and  in  1893,  when 
Mr.  Lewis  died,  Mr.  Rockwell  was 
elected  president  and  held  the  office 
until  the  time  of  his  decease.  In  1877 
Mr.  Rockwell  was  one  of  the  organ- 
izers and  first  president  of  the  .\mer- 
ican  Pocket  Cutlery  Association  of  the 
United  States,  organized  to  look  after 
the  protective  interests  of  the  cutlery 
trade.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the 
committee  on  the  revision  of  customs 
laws  of  the  Merchants'  Association  of 
New  York.  While  that  organization 
is  composed  largely  of  importers  and 
merchants,  they  recognized  Mr.  Rock- 
well's knowledge  atn!  experience  and 
were  glad  to  avail  themselves  <  f  it. 

The  following  tribute  to  Mr.  Rock- 
weirs  character  and  position  in  the 
ortlery  trade  is  from  William  H.  Ma- 
her,  of  Toledo,  Ohio,  who  knew  him 
long  and  intimately: 

"I'or  twenty-five  years  Mr.  Rock- 
well had  been  one  of  the  controlling 
forces  in  the  hardware  trade  of  this 
country,  and  has  left  hi'^  impress  itpon 
the  tariff  laws  and  rulings  to  an  ex- 
tent that  ver}  few  realize.  He  was  a 
manufacturer,  but  he  was  something 
more  than  that;  in  a  broad  sense  he 


was  a  statesman,  and  though  he  held 
no  ofiice  his  was  the  mind  and  brains 
and  research  and  perseverance  that 
furnished  facts,  figures  and  arguments 
to  the  men  who  made  laws.  He 
worked  througii  them,  meeting  every 
point  raised  by  the  opposition,  until 
to-day  the  American  consumer  who 
wishes  American  gooils  cannot  be 
fooled  by  having  foreign  stuff  forced 
on  him  under  an  American  name. 

"His  battle  for  American  cutlery 
was  something  grand  and  Titanic. 
Mr.  Rockwell  began  his  battle  as  a 
lawyer  prepares  his  case  when  im- 
mense issues  are  at  stake.  His  fight 
was  made  on  facts,  facts,  facts  1 
Every  point  was  fortified  with  figures 
that  could  not  be  questioned.  In  that 
contest  the  American  cutler  triumphed, 
and  if  he  wished  to  know  who  was  his 
friend  he  need  but  listen  to  the  mal- 
edictions heaped  upon  Mr.  Rockwell's 
head  by  the  importers,  whose  false 
brands  and  under  valuation  had  been 
summarily  interfered  with.  And 
when  Congress  had  done  its  work  Mr. 
Rockwell's  task  was  seemingly  but 
just  begun.  The  men  in  the  New 
York  custom  house  had  his  knowledge 
at  their  command,  and  his  quick  eye 
caiiglu  at  every  loophole  through 
which  the  spirit  of  the  law  might  have 
been  rendered  abortive. 

"Of  all  ni\  actjuaintances  I  know  of 
none  who  has  shown  n  ore  resource- 
ful energy,  more  knowlcdi^c  of  every- 
thing,' ronnccted  with  his  business,  or 
who  has  left  one  tithe  of  his  impress 
upon  bis  a  <  H  into  .  In  his  own  office

host.  In  his  city  and  state  he  was 
one  of  the  controlling  minds,  and  in 
national  affairs  he  was  a  power." 

Mr.  Rockwell  was  married  in  1876 
to  Miss  Louise  Taylor,  of  Washing- 
ton, N.  J.  To  them  was  born  one 
son,  Charles  Francis  Rockwell.

FRANCIS  STAXLEV  FOSTER. 


Francis  Stanley  Foster,  deceased,  a 
lifelong  resident  of  Meriden,  active 
and  popular  in  business  life,  a  member 
of  the  firm  of  I'.irdsey  &  I'oster,  now 
Birdsey  &  Raven,  was  born  in  this 
town  April  25.  1840.  He  was  the  son 
of  Ira  and  Harriet  F.  (Kelsey)  Fos- 
ter. He  was  a  g^randson  of  Mathew 
and  Charlotte  (Preston)  Foster  and 
their  family  name  is  one  of  the  oldest 
and  most  familiar  in  this  section.  His 
maternal  grandmother  was  Lucy, 
daughter  of  Lot  and  Rhoda  (Wads- 
worth)  Stanley^  of  New  Britain, 
who  was  descended  from  one  of  the 
best  known  families  oi  Hartford. 

Francis  Stank >  Foster  attended  the 
Comer  school.  Wl|ftn  he  was  quite 
young  his  father  r^^ioved  from  what 
was  known  as  Crow  Hollow  and  built 
a  house  on  the  corner  of  Main  and 
Butler  streets,  the  land  at  that  time  be- 
ing worth  less  than  $300,  but  now  val- 
ued at  about  $20,000.  At  sixteen 
years  of  age  he  entered  the  grocery 
story  of  H.  D.  Bassett  on  Broad 
street.  Later  he  was  employed  as 
clerk  by  Jared  Lewis,  whose  employ 
'te  left  to  fill  the  position  of  head  clerk 
in  the  dry  goods  store  of  David  S. 
Williams.  He  was  a  natural  salesman 
and  developed  into  a  successful  mer- 
chant. He  became  the  partner  of  Eli 
C.  Birdsey  in  May,  1876,  which  part- 
nership was  continued  under  the  name 
of  Birdsey  &  Foster  until  his  lamented 
death  in  1899. 
He  was  possessed  of  an  especially 


happy  disposition  and  his  good  fel- 
lowship was  as  fully  apparent  in  his 
store  as  elsewhere.  He  was  known  as 
very  genial,  strictly  honest,  and  one 
who  treated  ail  with  due  consideration. 
He  was  known  as  a  good  Mason  and  a 
loyal  Odd  J'ellow  and  was  a  member 
of  the  Center  lodges  of  both  orders 
and  also  was  a  vahted  member  of  Key- 
stone Chapter,  Hamilton  C^i>iincil  and

jilar. 

He  was  inarried  October  22,  1863, 
to  Mary  J.,  daughter  of  Alanson  and 
Clarissa  (Wilcox)  Birdsey.  He  died 
November  12,  i!^0-  His  wife,  moth- 
er and  a  sister,  Mrs.  Martha  HiUard, 
survived  him. 

Alanson  Birdsey,  the  father  of  Mrs. 
Foster,  was  the  son  of  Gershom  and 
Lucy  Coe  Birdsey  and  was  born  in 
the  present  town  of  Middlefield  in 
1807.  He  was  a  brother  of  Eli  C. 
Birdsey,  known  as  Squire  Birdsey,  of 
whom  a  sketch  appears  elsewhere  in 
this  volume.  The  family  moved  to 
East  Meriden  and  after  spending  his 
younger  days  on  the  home  farm  he 
finally  engaged  in  the  grocery  busi- 
ness on  Broad  street  and  carried  on 
that  trade  for  many  years. 

In  1844  he  built  what  was  then 
known  as  a  most  imposing  brick  man- 
sion on  Broad  street,  where  he  resided 
until  his  death  which  occurred  June 
14.  1881,  when  Francis  S.  Foster  and 
his  wife  became  the  occupants  and 
since  the  death  of  her  husband  it  has 
continued  to  be  occupied  by  Mrs. 
Foster.

in  Cheshire  in  the  Cheshire  Str^t 
district,  receiving  his  education  th^re 
and  at  the  Eewis  Academy,  South- 
ington.  He  engaged  with  his  father. 
Loyal  Smith,  in  the  carjKMiter  and 
joiner  business  until  1858.  when,  up- 
on advice  of  Horace  Greeley  to  young 
men  to  "go  west,"  he  went  to  Illinois 
and  with  a  partner  engaged  in  house 
building  near  the  city  of  Ottawa. 
There  he  heard  one  of  the  great  de- 
bates between  Stephen  A.  Douglas 
and  Aliraham  Lincoln.  After  his  re- 
turn he  was  employed  by  Deacon  Ly- 
man Clark  at  whose  sash  and  blind 
factory  he  made  blinds  by  contract. 
This  factory,  located  where  the  Ar- 
mour building  now  stands  on  South 
Colony  street,  was  burned  in  the 
spring  of  1865.  That  year  he  formed 
a  partnership  with  C.  L.  Little  in 
the  manufacture  of  sash  dixjrs.  and 
blinds,  which  was  continued  for  about 
a  year,  when  they  sold  out  to  Fin- 
ney &  Clark.  In  1876  Mr.  Smith 
opened  a  store  at  167  State  street,  for 
the  sale  of  windows,  doors,  blinds, 


paints,  oils,  etc.,  which  he  continued 
until  April,  1901,  with  fairly  good 
success,  disposing  of  his  stock  at  that 
time  to  the  Meriden  LuiiiIkt  Co..  and 
since  which  he  has  not  been  engaged

GEORGE  M.  CLARK. 


George  M.  Clark,  president  of  the 
Meriden  National  Bank  and  since 
1865  an  active  resident  of  Meriden, 
was  born  at  Willimantic,  Conn.,  Oc- 
tober 5,  1844.  His  ancestors  include 
men  of  standing  and  influence  in  the 
early  history  of  this  country  and  he  is 
descepded  from  Lieut.  William  Clark, 
one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Dorchester, 
Mass.",  and  who  came  to  this  country 
from  England  in  1636,  but  in  1639, 
removed  to  Northampton,  Mass. 
He  served  as  a  soldier  in  the  King 
Philip's  War  and  for  fourteen  years 
was  a  representative  from  Northamp- 
ton in  the  general  court.  George  M. 
Clark's  forefathers  afterwards  became 
prominent  in  Connecticut,  and  as  far 
back  as- 4.784  Jonathan  J^Tlapk,  son  of- 
David,  was^itorit'JitjUolfarH^'^wher?'  he 
grew  to  manhood  and  became  a  land 
owner  and  a  prosperous  faniur. 
Silas  Fuller  Clark,  son  of  Jonathan 
and  the  father  Df  tho  subject  of  this 
sketch,  was  also  a  native  of  Tolland, 


but  spent  the  last  five  years  of  his  life 
in  Meriden,  wliere  he  died  in  August, 
1900.  and  was  buried  in  the  Willi- 
mantic cemetery.  He  married  at  Wil- 
limantic, Elizabeth  L.  Woodworth,  a 
daughter  of  Asa  Woodworth,  of  Heb- 
ron, Conn. 

George  M.  Clark  was  the  only  child 
of  his  parents  to  grow  to  manhood, 
his  twin  brother  having  died  in  child- 
hood. He  was  educated  in  the  public 
schools  and  also  private  schools  of 
Willimantic  where  he  prepared  for  col- 
lege, but  his  close  application  to  stud- 
ies caused  his  health  to  break  down 
and  he  had  to  give  up  the  college  life 
whicli  he  had  looked  forward  to  with 
much  pleasure  and  ambition. 

He,  therefore,  began  his  business 
life  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  as  a  clerk 
in  tlie  Willimantic  post  office,  but  a 
yeat  later  entered  the  bank  at  Wind- 
ham, as  teller,  ever  since  which  time 
he  has  been  continuously  associated 
with  the  banking  business.  In  1865 
he  was  invited  by  the  late  O,  B.  Ar- 
nold, then  its  cashier,  to  enter  the  Mer- 
iden National  Bank  and  become  its 
teller,  which  position  he  filled  with 
faithful  attention  to  his  duties  until 
1 89 1,  when  he  was  elected  cashier. 
This  office  he  held  until  the  death  of 
Mr.  Levi  E.  Coe,  president,  when  he 
was  chosen  president  and  since  that 
date  has  been  at  the  head  of  the  insti- 
tution. Mr,  Clark,  from  his  long  con- 
nection with  banking,  is  properly  re- 
garded as  one  whose  conservative 
ideas  and  sound  judgment  have  al- 
ways held  the  confidence  of  his  di- 
rectors and  the  public  in  general.

A.  H.  GARDNER. 


Arthur  Hugh  Gardner,  senior  mem- 
ber of  the  insurance  and  real  estate 
firm  of  A.  H.  &  L  L  Gardner,  was 
bom  August  3,  1B53,  in  Charlotte, 


Washington  county,  Maine.  He 
C(jnies  from  early  colonial  ancestry. 
His  great-great-grandfather.  Stephen 
Gardner,  was  born  m  Hingham, 
Mass.,  in  1727,  and  his  son.  War- 
ren Gardner,  removed  to  Pembroke, 
Me.,  where  the  family  have  remained 
through  several  generations  and  con- 
tinued in  agricultural  pursuits.  Isaac  J. 
Gardner,  father  of  Arthur  Hugh  and 
Irving  I.  Gardner,  was  also  a  well- 
to-do  farmer.  His  wife  was  Annie 
L.,  daughter  of  Hugh  Potter.  He 
was  also  a  farmer  of  Pembroke,  and 
was  bom  in  Scotland. 

A.  H.  Gardner  was  one  of  a  family 
of  nine  children,  eight  of  whom  are 
now  living  and  from  the  fact  that 
the  soil  at  the  place  of  their  birth  is 
not  sufficiently  fertile  for  successful 
fanning,  four  of  the  five  boys  are  now 
in  Meriden  or  vicinity. 

A.  H.  Gardner  came  to  Meriden  at 
the  age  of  nineteen  and  first  secured 
employment  in  the  greenhouses  on 
the  farm  of  the  late  Randolph 
Linsley,  through  which  now  extends 
Linsley  avenue,  where  in  later  years 
Mr.  Gardner  built  a  comfortable  res- 
idence for  himself.  Mr.  Gardner  af- 
terwards worked  two  years  in  the 
market  of  S.  C.  Paddock  and  later  in 
the  store  of  Augur  &  Gardner  where 
he  continued  as  a  clerk  for  a  number 
of  years  until  he  opened  a  first  class 
restaurant  in  the  then  new  Pacific 
lodge  building  on  State  street  and 
continued  until  he  engaged  in  the  in- 
surance business,  afterwards  taking  in 
as  a  partner  his  brother,  Irving  L

in  Nottingham,  England,  July  16, 
1855.  His  early  education  was  ob- 
tained in  his  native  town,  but  when  he 
was  twelve  years  of  age,  the  family 
removed  to  Sheffield ;  and  there  he 
concluded  his  education  by  an  attend- 
ance at  the  People's  Business  College, 
from  which  he  graduated  at  the  age 
of  sixteen.  After  acquiring  a  thor- 
ough and  practical  business  expe- 
rience in  mercantile  life  in  England, 
he  came  to  this  country  and  direct  to

first  Started  on  Colony  street,  where  he 
established  himself  thoroughly  by  his 
painstaking  attention  to  his  trade  and 
liis  thorough  knowledge  of  the  wants 
of  a  discriminating  public.  He  later 
removed  to  West  Main  street,  ab<:)ve 
his  present  location  but  in  December, 
1 90 1,  purchased  the  business  of  the 
fonncr  occupant  and  removed  his 
stock  thereto.  His  store,  which  is  97 
feet  deep  and  40  feet  in  width,  con- 
tains one  of  the  largest  and  most  com- 
j)k'te  stocks  of  books  and  stationery 
in  Connecticut ;  and  the  basement, 
filled  with  toys,  resembles,  in  the  hol- 
iday seasons,  a  i)erpetual  fair.  The 
success  of  Mr.  Sills  as  a  merchant, 
while  somewhat  remarkable,  is  no  less 
deserved  :  for  he  has  always  held  the 
well  merited  confidence  of  a  large  and 
constantly  increasing  patronage. 

He  is  a  member  of  the  Home  Club ; 
Alfred  H.  Hall  Council,  Royal  Arca-

born  in  Saybrook.  Connecticut,  July 
18,  1841.  Wliile  he  was  still  a  boy 
he  moved  to  Meriden,  and,  after  at- 
tending school  here,  secured  work 
at  the  Chas.  Parker  factory,  be- 
ing only  twelve  >'ears  of  age  at  that 
time.  He  soon  became  very  skillful 
as  a  silver-plater,  and  worked  at  that 
trade  until  1861.  At  the  outbreak  of 
the  Civil  War,  Mr,  Rogers,  while 
working  at  his  trade  in  New  York 
city,  was  one  of  the  first  to  respond 
to  the  call  of  his  country.  He  was 
one  of  the  party  of  the  loyal  mob 
who  compelled  every  newspaper  of- 
fice in  New  York  to  display  the  Union 
flag  and,  on  the  first  day  following 
President  Lincoln's  first  call  for 
troops  he  enlisted.  On  May  2,  1861, 
he  was  mustered  in  as  a  private  in 
Company  F,  Fourth  N.  Y.  V.  I., 
called  the  First  Scott  Life  Guard,  be- 
ing composed  in  part  of  the  old  organ- 
ization of  New  York  Volunteers  under 
General  Scott  in  the  Mexican  War. 

Mr.  Rogers  was  in  the  battle  of 
Big  Bethel,  the  first  formal  engage- 
ment of  the  war,  and  remained  with 
the  regiment  until  the  expiration  .of 
its  two  years*  service.  He  was  in  the 
engagements  at  Antietam,  Fredericks- 
burg and  Chancellorsville,  the  rai- 
ment volunteering  to  go  into  the  lat- 
ter fight  after  its  time  had  expired 
For  this  conduct  it  received  a  mag- 
nificent reception  from  the  City  of 
New  York  on  its  arrival  home,  where 
it  was  reviewed  by  General  Scott  at 
the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel. 

Mr.  Rogers  was  in  all  the  battles 
participated  in  by  the  regiment  and 


held  the  rank  of  third  sergeant  ai4; 
right  general  guide.

he  re-enlisted  in  Company  G,  Thir' 
fifth  N.  J.  Zouaves,  and  was  roack

Meriden  and  built  the  fiist  br:d

buy  all  of  his  father's  farm. 
His  business  as  a  dry  goods  peddler 
was  carried  on  by  him  with  remark* 
able  success  and  he  was  given  a 
hearty  welcome  everywhere  he  drove 
his  team.  His  routes  extended 
through  several  of  the  Southern 
states  and  he  carried  on  his  business 
before  the  advent  of  the  steam  rail- 
road. Many  streams  had  to  be  ford- 
ed, too,  in  order  to  reach  the  villages 
which  he  supplied  with  dry  goods,  as 
bridges  were  few  and  widely  scat- 
tered in  that  territory  in  his  traveling 
days. 

His  unusual  energy  and  business 
capacity  not  only  won  him  the  confi- 
dence of  hi>  customers,  but  so  good 
and  shrewd  a  buyer  was  he  that  his 
fellow  peddlers,  and  they  were  nu* 
merous  in  those  times,  one  by  one, 
p^raduallN  delegated  him  to.  do  their 
buying.  Finally,  when  at  the  age  of 
twenty-seven  he  had  married  and  set- 
tled down  on  the  Cheshire  farm,  af- 
ter he  had  stopped  peddling,  he 
became  the  New  York  buyer  for  the 
members  of  his  craft,  which  trust  he 
assumed  for  some  years,  his  judg- 
ment being  held  in  high  regard  by 
them. 

As  a  fanner  Mr.  Bradley  was  any- 
thing but  a  failure ;  for  his  crops  were 
ever  large  and  his  land  showed  the 
result  of  care  and  high  cultivation. 
He  took  a  pride  in  his  property  and 
in  the  product  of  his  farm;  and  he 
won  many  prizes  at  state  and  town 
agricultural  exhibits.  It  was  Levi 
Bradley  who  first  undertook  the  pro- 
duction of  wheat  in  Cheshire  and  af- 


ter ha\  ing  procured  his  seed  frcci 
New  York  state,  his  crops  of  wheat 
were  much  admired  by  visiting  si^^- 

seers. 

He  was  also  the  discoverer  of  tht 
first  barytes  mine  in  Cheshire.  Whik 
driving  along  the  highway  where  men 
were  plowing  on  the  roadside  his  at- 
tention, which  was  naturally  ob>tr\ 
ing,  was  called  to  a  peculiar  lookiin: 
white  stone  and  upon  examining  i: 
found  it  to  be  of  unusual  weight  f  : 
its  proportion.    Putting  the  stone  ir 
to  his  wagon,  the  following  day  hi 
submitted  it  to  Prof.  Silliman  of  Vale 
College.    His  analysis  prompted  Mr. 
Bradley  to  immediately  buy  an  opti  - 
where  the  mineral  was,  \s  liich  he  did. 
and  he  afterwards  sold  the  farm  to  a 
New  Haven  firm  at  a  handsome  profit, 
who  in  turn  mined  from  tlie  propen 
several  million  dollar^'  worth  of  iK 
mineral,  Mr.  Bradley  being  for  two 
years  employed  as  superintendent  of 
the  mine. 

Mr.  Bradley  was  recognized  as  a 
man  whose  moral  worth  was  a  whole- 
some and  stroi^  virtue  in  the  im- 
munity where  he  lived.  While 
thrifty  in  connection  with  his  farm 
he  kept  well  abreast  of  the  times  and 
thoroughly  informed  on  the  topics  ot 
the  day.  He  was  also  a  great  rend 
er,  and  his  knowledge  of  men  and  pub- 
lic affairs  won  him  the  admiration  oi 
those  who  knew  him.  His  ga^l 
qualities  were  recognized  by  his  fel- 
low townsmen  in  a  marked  degree; 
and  he  was  called  upon  to  sen*  • 
Cheshire  in  the  State  Legislature!  '

benefited  by  the  wise  teachings  of 
-evi  Bradley,  was  Charles  Parker, 
>f  Meriden,  who  before  he  made  his 


first  start  from  which  he  achieved 
world-wide  fame  as  a  manufacturer, 
spent  three  years  on  Mr.  Bradley's 
farm. 

Levi  Bradley  died  at  Meriden 
March  18,  1877.  He  was  a  man  of 
decidedly  Christian  sympathy  and  was 
a  liberal  supporter  to  the  cause  of  re- 
ligion. His  life  furnished  an  excel- 
lent example  for  those  who  are  to 
follow  him. 


GEORGE  GAY. 


A  citizen  of  Meriden,  justly  remem- 
bered as  an  upright  man  of  sterling 
worth,  was  George  Gay,  who,  after 
having  been  most  active  as  a  builder 
and  later  as  a  box  manufacturer,  died 
at  the  age  of  eighty-one  years.  He 
resided  in  his  own  residence  at  the  cor- 
ner of  Center  and  Camp  streets,  the 
last  eleven  years  of  his  life  in  well 
earned  retirement  from  business  cares, 
until  death  claimed  him  from  old  age. 
He  was  bom  in  Dedham,  Mass.,  Oc- 
tober 22,  1 8 16. 

He  learned  the  trade  of  a  carpenter 
in  Roxbury,  Mass.,  and  at  the  age  of 
thirty-six  years  located  in  Meriden, 
with  which  he  was  thereafter  promi- 
nently identified.  Engaging  in  busi- 
ness as  a  contractor  and  builder  just 
previous  to  a  period  of  rapid  growth 
of  Meriden  manufacturing,  he  made 
the  most  of  his  opportunities  and  soon 
became  one  of  the  leading  builders  of 
the  town.  In  the  construction  of  build- 
ings, he  was  exceedingly  thorough 
and  he  enjoyed  deservedly  the  confi-

Icnce  of  the  leading  citizens  of  the 
own  in  his  day. 

His  first  shop  was  located  on  State 
treet,  but  he  afterwards  sold  the  land 
o  the  Meriden  Britannia  Company 
vho  built  a  portion  of  their  works  on 
ho  property  which  he  formerly  owned. 
Vir.  Gay  afterwards  built  the  shop  at 
he  corner  of  State  and  Cross  streets, 
A'here  he  continued  for  a  time  as  a 
milder,  but  later  founded  the  cooper- 
i^e  and  wooden  box  industry,  which 
ic  carried  on  until  1886,  when  he  sold 
it  to  Charles  T.  Dodd. 

During  Mr.  Gay*s  career  as  a  build- 
er a  large  number  of  the  factories,  sev- 
sral  leading  residences,  business  blocks 
and   two  churches   were  built  by 
him.    Among  the  buildings  still  stand- 
ing as  a  monument  to  his  thorough 
work  may  be  mentioned  the  following : 
Factories,  Merijen  •  Britannia  Com- 
pany, Meridoi^ilver  Plate  Compan> . 
J.  Wileox  &  Co.  (now* the  Mcriden 
Woolen  Co.)  ;  the  First  Methodist  and 
Main  Street  Baptist  churches ;  resi- 
dence of  the  late  Dennis  C.  Wilcox, 
now  occupied  by  Mrs.  Horace  C.  Wil- 
cox, on  Colony  street;  residence  of  the 
late  Jedediah  Wilcox,  now  owned  by 
Dexter  W.  Parker,  on  Br9ad  street ; 
the  residence  of  the  late  Isaac  C. 
Lewis,  Main  street,  in  which  one  of 
whose  daughters,  Mrs.  Kate  A.  L. 
Chapin,  now  resides. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  Mr.  Gay 
was  highly  respected,  not  only  as  the 
oldest  builder  in  Mcriden,  but  as  a 
TOan  who  always  did  his  duty  as  he 
saw  it  in  whatever  capacity  he  was 
<alled  upon  to  serve.   Mr.  Gay  was 


first  sekcimaii  uf  Meriden  for  five 
years  consccutivcl} ,  from  1868-1872, 
and  immediately  following  that,  was  a 
member  of  the  city  govcrniiiciit  as 
councilman,  and  in  1872  was  a  iiK-in- 
ber  of  the  board  of  aldermen.  As  Mr. 
Gay  built  a  goodly  portion  of  old  Mer- 
iden  and  was  justly  esteemed  in  the 
connnunity  for  his  heart  frit  interest 
in  the  affairs  of  the  town,  his  meniory 
will  still  survive  liim  many  years. 

He  left  two  daughters:  Mrs.  A.  ( I. 
Finney  and  Mrs.  Charles  b\  Linsley^ 
the  latter  of  Mcriden.

trade  in  Meriden,  serx'ing  his  ap-

iducted  the  harness  business  at  the 
Tier  of  East  Main  and  Pratt  streets,

iden Center  Lodge,  A.  F.  &  A.  M.,  and 
was  affiliated  with  no  other  organiza-

a  church,  he  held  a  high  regard  for 
the  Word  of  God,  as  a  result  of  his 
early  religious  tiatning  and  for  many

vid B.,  in  the  manufacture  of  cloaks 
and  wraps  and  conducted  a  wholesale 
business.  During  the  Civil  war,  in 
connection  with  his  brother.  Mr.  Ed- 
gerton  opened  a  store  at  Norfolk,  Va., 
which  he  carried  on  for  six  months. 
During  this  time  his  patrons  were  com- 


prised entirely  of  northeni  soIdicTN 
owing  to  the  bitter  feeling  against  th? 
north  which  prevailed  at  that  time. 
On  account  of  ill  health,  Mr.  Edge:- 
ton  removed  from  Xew  York  City  to 
New  Rritain,  and  to  get  tlie  benefi 
of  out-door  life  he  rented  a  farm, 
which  he  conducted  with  profit  until 
1870. 

It  was  in  that  year  that  he  came  t'> 
Meriden  and  bought  out  the  coal  bc?- 
iness  of  Frederick  Williams,  which  he 
carried  on  for  two  years  and  after- 
wards sold  to  Amos  Ives.  In  1874  he 
established  himself  in  his  present  iinc 
by  buying  out  the  express  and  for- 
warding business  of  Mr.  Fors}1h 
His  first  stables  were  on  X'eterar 
street.  He  afterwards  removed  to 
stables  on  Pratt  street,  later  liad  an 
office  on  State  street  near  Main;  ar^! 
after  the  railroad  freight  depot  w"!* 
built  in  its  present  location,  the  firmo: 
Edgerton  &  Immich  bought  the  land 
and  built  the  present  large  stables 
which  have  ever  since  been  situate! 
<lirectly  opposite.  The  business  of  the 
finn  has  more  than  quadrupled  in  the 
past  thirty-two  years,  and  its  grtnvth 
has  been  steady  and  substantial. 

Mr.  Edgerton 's  extended  business 
career  has  been  an  honorable  one  ini 
his  dealings  with  the  public  conducte«I 
upon  lines  of  fairness  and  liberalit). 
His  even  disposition  and  genial  qual- 
ities have  made  him  a  favorite  \nth 
all  who  have  been  associated  with  him. 
both  in  business  and  private  affairi. 
He  has  never  possessed  aspirations  for 
a  public  career,  although  he  has  been 
given  ample  opportunity.

HENRY  L.  IMMICH. 


Henry  L.  Immich,  junior  member  of 
:he  finn  of  Edgerton  &  Immich,  was 
jorn  in  New  London,  April  18,  i860. 
He  is  of  (ierman  descent  and  his  pa- 
rents were  Peter  and  Elizabeth  Im- 
mich. They  came  to  this  country 
from  Germany  and  located  in  Xew 
London  more  than  twenty  years  be- 
fore their  son  was  born.  He  was  giv- 
en a  liberal  education  in  the  public 
schools  of  his  native  town  and  was 
graduated  from  the  Hulkeley  High 
school,  after  which  he  took  a  course 
at  the  Eastman  Business  College, 
Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y. 

Coming  to  Meriden  in  1880  he  en- 
tered the  store  of  Ives.  I'pham  & 
Rand,  which  at  that  time  was  in  the 
present  location  of  Howard  Bros. 
After  being  employed  in  the  dry  goods 
business  for  one  year,  he  secured  a  po- 
sition in  the  Meriden  freight  office  of 
the  N.  Y..  X.  H.  &  H.  railroad.  Soon 
afterward  he  became  associated  with 
L.  P.  Edgerton  as  clerk,  three  years 
later  entering  into  the  partnership  as 
a  member  of  the  firm  which  has  ever 
since  been  that  of  Edgerton  &  Im- 


mich. From  his  long  connection  with 
the  teaming  business.  Mr.  Immich  has 
become  thororghly  familiar  with  the 
wants  of  the  public,  his  concern  is  so 
well  able  to  supply.  During  the  last 
few  years,  and  owing  to  the  somewhat 
poor  health  of  Mr.  Edgerton,  a  large 
amount  of  the  responsibility  of  the  bus- 
iness hAs  devolved  upon  him  ;  and  to

J.  H.  CAMIRR. 


John  Henry  Camier,  deceased,  but 
for  many  years  one  of  the  most  popu- 
lar men  in  the  mercantile  life  of  Mer- 
iden,  was  born  October  20,  1850,  of 
English  parentage  and  French  de- 
scent, near  London.  England.  After 
receiving  a  good  education  in  his  na- 
tive language  and  growing  to  man- 
hood, he  came  to  America  and  secured 
a  position  as  shipping  clerk  in  a  whole- 
sale men's  furnishing  goods  house,  in 
Boston,  becoming  a  resident  of  Mer- 
iden  in  1878  where  he  remained  until 
his  death  which  occurred  November 
2,  1901. 

He  engaged  in  the  clothing  business 
in  1879  in  the  Lewis  block  on  Main 
street;  in  1880  forming  a  partnership 
with  Almon  J.  Fletcher,  and  the  busi- 
ness has,  to  the  present  time,  been 
continued  with  growing  success  un- 
der the  title  of  The  Boston  &  Mer- 
iden  Clothing  Co. ;  but  since  the  de- 
cease of  Mr,  Camier,  his  interest  has 
been  retained  by  his  widow.  Upon 


the  completion  of  the 
block,  the  business  was  removed 
to  the  present  location  ;  but  the  ston 
afterwards  became  enlarged  from  lum 
to  time.  In  1899  the  adjoining  sion 
was  taken  in  and  the  partition  torr 
down,  afterwards  fifty  feet  were  a<M 
ed  to  the  depth  of  the  now  double 
store,  and  in  1901  a  portion  of  th< 
basement  was  rebuilt  and  convene* 
into  a  department   for   the   sale  0

most  successful  business  men  of  th«

Imon  John  Fletcher,  who  since  the 
h  of  his  partner,  has  assumed  the 
re  management  of  the  business  of 
Boston  &  Meriden  Clothing  Co., 
born  at  Acworth,  N.  H.,  August 
1842.  He  is  a  son  of  John  and

went  to  Boston  and  continued  to  work 
as  a  machinist  for  a  time,  and  later 
became  a  clerk  in  a  store  there.  He 
came  to  Meriden  in  1879  and  shortly

as  The  Boston  &  Mcridcn  Clotliing 
Co.,  the  active  iiianag"cment  of  which 
now  large  concern  has  for  many  years 
devolved  upon  him,  especially  since 
the  decease  of  Mr.  Camier.  as  stated 
just  previous  to  this  article.  This 
clothing  company  has  an  enviahle 
record  for  success  and  fair  dealing, 
extending  over  a  period  of  twenty- 
seven  years.  Few  men  of  Meriden 
enjoy  the  confidence  of  their  fellow 
townsmen  to  a  greater  extent  than 
does  Mr.  Fletcher  or  than  did  his  de- 
ceased partner,  Mr.  Camier.  In  1883 
they  estahlished  a  hranch  store  at  Mid- 
dletown  which  was  also  carried  on  by 
the  firm,  but  after  the  death  of  Mr. 
Camier,  was  sold  to  others,  the  large 
Meriden  store  being  all  that  Mr. 
Fletcher  could  attend  to.  Mr. 
Fletcher  is  known  as  one  of  the  re- 
liable and  capable  merchants  of  the 
town,  respected  for  his  probity  of 
character  and  industry. 

While  devoted  to  his  business,  he 
finds  time  for  activity  in  church  work 
and  is  one  of  the  stewards  of  the  Trin-

HORACE  C  WILCOX. 


Foremost  among  the  men  of  Meri- 
den  during  the  past  century  as  re- 
ganls  the  development  of  the  business 
interests  of  the  locality,  was  Horace 
C.  Wilcox,  a  founder  of  the  Meriden 
Britannia  Com]jan\ .  and  who  during 
the  latter  part  of  his  life  was  not  only 
interested  in,  but  one  of  the  founders 
of  many  other  manufacturing  concerns 
of  the  town.  He  was  a  man  of  great 
energy  and  ability  and  from  a  small 
beginning,  became-  a  power  in  the 
business  world.  He  was  bom  in  that 
f>ortion  of  Middletown  known  as 
Westfiekl,  January  24,  1824,  and  at- 
tended district  school  for  a  brief  per- 
iod. He  acquired,  however,  by  ob- 
servation and  study  a  remarkable 
knowledge  of  men  and  business,  and 
was  possessed  of  a  keenness  of  per- 
ception and  foresight  that  was  inborn. 
He  was  a  natural  leader,  a  man  of 
great  enterprise  and  business  acumen ; 
and  his  life  was  perhaps  more  useful 
to  Meriden  in  a  business  wav,  than 
that  of  any  other  man.  His  early  life 
until  the  age  of  twenty,  was  spent  up- 
on his  father*s  farm  and  he  began  his 
business  career  as  a  peddler  of  tin- 
ware. 

In  1850  he  was  engaged  as  travel- 
ing salesman  for  James  Frary,  a  man- 
ufacturer of  britannta  ware.   He  af- 


terwards traveled  in  the  same  capac- 
ity for  William  W.  Lyman,  John  Mta- 
son  and  Isaac  C.  Lewis.  In 
with  his  brother,  Dennis  C.  Wikox. 
Isaac  C.  Lewis,  James  A.  Fniry.  Lern- 
uel  J.  Curtis,  W.  W.  Ljitian.  Joia 
Munson,  George  R.  Curtis,  Sannio 
Simpson  and  William  H.  Johnson,  be 
organized  the  Meriden  Britannia  Cer.- 
pany,  of  which  he  was  the  first  s«rc-: 
tarv  and  treasurer.  In  1866  he  9x] 
ceeded  I,  C,  Lewis  as  president  of  the; 
company,  and  held  that  office  until  h»i 
death,  August  22,  1890.  Fioni 
start  he  became  a  power  in  the  oiti* 
cem  and  the  remarkable  growth  of  tin 
company,  to  the  largest  of  its  kind  i| 
this  country,  was  in  great  measure 
to  his  wise  counsel  and  able  !eadersb!|J 
Mr.  Wilcox  was  a  great  worker.  vM 
only  for  the  success  of  the  Merida 
Britannta  Company,  but  for  the  tovi 
of  Meriden,  of  which  he  was  a  roos 
enthusiastic,  patriotic  and  loyal  re»t' 
dent.  It  was  his  delight  to  see  Mnv 
den  grow  and  prosper,  and  to  that  tnd 
he  was  instrumental  in  bringing  sev- 
eral important  industries  v^ithin  its 
borders,  as  well  as  promoting  the  ip^ 
terests  of  the  town  in  vark>as  oihd| 
directions.  Through  his  influence  tM 
White  familv  came  to  Meriden  fr<« 
Brattleboro,  \'t.,  and  with  his  aUe  » 
sistance  the  Wilcox  &  White  Oct 
Company  was  organized.  Of  ^ 
com|>any,  which  bears  his  name,  he 
was  the  first  president.  He  was  aM

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


Such  a  man  as  Mr.  Wilcox  could 
not  shirk  his  duty  to  his  fellow  citi- 
zens, when  called  upon  to  act  in  a  pub- 
lic capacity.  A  Republican  of  the 
most  loyal  type,  he  was  elected  a  mem- 
ber of  the  first  Ix^ard  of  aldermen  of 
the  infant  city.  He  was  also  the  fifth 
mayor,  and  served  in  that  capacity  for 
two  tenns,  1875-6.  in  1877  he  served 
8  term  in  the  state  senate,  and  al- 
though repeatedly  urged  to  accept  oth- 
er public  honors,  this  concluded  his 
highly  creditable  career  in  public  of- 
fice, which  was  ever  distasteful  to  him. 
His  comiection  with  the  First  Congre- 
gational church  of  Meriden  added 
strength  to  that  influential  society.  He 
was  one  of  the  most  generous  givers 
to  its  financial  prosperity  ;  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  building  committee  when 
the  present  handsome  edifice  was  con- 
structe<l,  and  during  his  life  served  on 
nearly  all  the  importiwU  committees 
of  that  societ^•. 

He  was  married,  fir^t.  to  (  inrlottc. 
(laughter  of  Jabez  Siuilh  of  Middle- 
town,  who  (lied  in  18*  14.  and  to  whom 
the  following  children  were  horn: 
Ella  Augusta,  who  married  the  late 
William  1',  Morgan  and  removed  to 
.^an  i  raueisco;  (jeorgine,  Walter  and 
Allyn,  who  died  in  infancy,  and 
George  Horace,  who  ntier  his  father's 
death,  became  president  of  Die  Meri-

ing  bond  and  stock  brokers  of  Wall 
street,  and  whose  partner  retiring  two 
months  later,  he  was  given  one-third 
interest  in  the  business,  which  was 
continued  as  S.  J.  Curtis  &  Co.  His 
father  retiring  from  the  firm  in  1878, 
he  continued  to  maintain  the  good 
reputation  estal)lislied. 

He  made  a  study  of  railroads  like 
the  Union  Tacitic  and  the  Chicago, 
Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul,  and  an  inves- 
tigation of  their  securities  on  w  hich  he 
was  considered  an  authority.  In  1879 
Mr.  Curtis  examined  the  property  and 
affairs  of  and  purchased  a  consider- 
able interest  in  the  St.  Louis  &  San 
Francisco  railroad.  He  later  aided 
largely  in  securing  the  release  of  the 
Marietta  &  Cincinnati  Railroad  Co., 
from  the  hands  of  its  receiver ;  thus 
he  made  his  first  pronounced  start  in 
the  sea  of  finance.  His  extensive  op- 
erations brought  him  in  personal  con- 
tact with  many  of  the  great  financiers 
of  the  country  with  whom  he  was 
closely  affiliated  and  whose  confidence 
he  enjoyed  to  the  fullest  extent. 

In  1884  he  became  one  of  the  di- 
rectors of  the  Colorado  Coal  &  Iron 
Co.,  now  the  Colorado  Fuel  il-  Iron 
Co.,  a  concern  of  qrent  in.-ii;nitude, 
including  anion;::  its  officers  and  di- 
rectors many  men  of  national  finan- 
cial fame.  Almost  immcdiatrl\  after 
his  election,  he  was  appointed  a  com- 
mittee to  make  an  examination  of  the 
propcrtir?  of  the  cuaipany ;  and  upon 
his  return,  was  made  its  first  vice- 
president,  which  office  he  retained 
nian\  vears.  Mr.  Curtis  became  a 
member  of  the  New  York  Stock  Ex- 


change in  1900,  but  sold  his  seat  ia 
1905,  having  retired  from  active  bos* 

iness. 

In  1891  he  removed  to  his  present 
residence  in  Plainfield,  where  be  lirts 
in  retirement  Mr.  Curtis  is  a  gnat 
lover  of  art,  of  which  he  is  an  ac- 
knowledged connoisseur,  and  for  the 
past  twenty  years  has  been  coUectinc 
bronzes,  rare  books,  paintings  and  oth- 
er articles.  His  collection  of  andent 
glass,  is  admitted  by  all  authorities 
who  have  seen  it,  to  be  the  most  rare 
and  valuable  in  the  world  and  impossi- 
ble to  duplicate.  It  contains  pieces 
to  date  2,500  to  3,cxx>  years  B.  C,  and 
includes  twenty-eight  imbroken  piece? 
of  the  Murrhina  or  inlaid  niby  gla^?. 
of  which  only  about  thirty-four  arc 
known  to  exist.  This  glass  was  very 
valuable  in  Rome  in  Nero's  time. 
Many  of  his  porcelains  and  other  ar- 
ticles arc  of  almost  priceless  value, 
and  includes  the  famous  Chinese,  50ft 
paste,  ^fing  period.  Ostrich  Elgg  vase, 
known  throughout  the  art  world. 
His  home  is  a  marvel  of  interest  and 
his  collection  is  a  most  creditable  '"^nt 
to  the  countrv  and  lias  been  m:i 'e 
possible  only  through  hi>  infaiiibk 
knowledge,  correct  eye  and  an  inborn 
taste  for  things  rare  and  beautiful 
w  hich  only  wealth  could  develop.  .Mr. 
Curtis  is  a  member  of  several  social 
and  art  clubs. 

Mr.  Curtis  was  married  in  New

nnd  the  interest  upon  the  water  bonds. 
A  new  water  main  was  laid  from  Mer- 
imere  to  the  center  of  the  city :  the 
meter  system  was  introchiced  and  the 
ninnnj::enicnt  (»f  the  department  was 
placed  in  the  hands  of  one  responsible 
commissioner.  The  water  consnmp-

creased and  at  the  close  of  his  third 
term  from  the  snrplus  a  sinkinj^^  fund 
was  established  to  provide  for  pay-

Durinjj  his  first  term  the  le^al  e\-

Two  new  fire  houses  wire  built 
while  he  was  mayor,  the  e(|uipmciii

efficiency  fjreatly  iticreased. 

F,co!i(iniy  was  introilucetl  in  the 
manam  nicnt  of  every  city  department, 
the  ot'tkii-ncy  of  each  was  increased 
and  the  expense  of  each  was  reduced. 
TIk"  first  year  that  the  city  had  betti 
niana-rd  within  its  income  and  the 
city  (ict)t  reduced  was  the  first  year  of 
his  a<liniiiistration.  and  his  first  an-

Under  Air.  Lines'  administraii'  n 
complete  revision  of  the  city  chan-r: 
was  made,  and  also  a  thorough  reii  r

Mnmittees  to  secure  an  agreement  on 
le  representation  question. 
Mr.  Lines  is  a  member  of  the  com- 
lission  to  remodel  and  improve  the 
ate  capitol  and  to  report  to  the  Gen- 
-al  Assembly  a  suitable  separate 
lilding  for  the  State  Library  and  Su- 
'eme  Court  together  with  estimates 
-  the  cost  of  construction  of  the  same: 
id  a  member  of  the  Fort  Griswokt 
ract  Commission  which  has  the  care 
the  old  Fort  Griswold  battle 
x»tmds  on  Groton  Heights. 
He  is  also  chairman  of  the  Senator 
,  H.  Piatt  memorial  commission. 
As  a  private  citizen,  Mr..  Lines  lias 
ways  taken  an  active  part  in  advanc- 
g  the  interests  of  Meriden.  and  all 
ans  for  the  development  of  the  town 
ve  been  favored  bv  him. 
In  March.  1879.  at  a  meeting  of  the 
tizens  of  Meriden,  held  in  the  old 
5wn  hall,  he  recommendecl  a  plan 

action,  which  being  followed,  se- 
rcd  to  the  business  of  Meriden  its 
St  general  and  considerable  reduc- 
>n  of  freight  rates  and  improved 
nditions  as  to  the  delivery  of  manu- 
L-tured  goods  at  their  destinations. 
He  was  one  of  those  who  after  sev- 
al  defeats  in  town  meeting,  finally 
cceeded  in  sccurinjj  the  passagfe  of 
e  resolution  establishing  in  1881  a 
school  in  Meriden  and  an  apprO' 


priation  for  the  support  of  the  same. 

He  is  chairman  of  Town  Hall  Build- 
ing Committee,  appointed  to  build  the 
new  town  liall,  in  accordance  with  the 
report  of  which  he  is  the  author  and 
which  was  adopted  in  a  town  meeting 
held  March  25.  1904.  The  first 
appropriation  for  the  construction  of 
the  building  was  $150,000,  and  the 
original  contract  was  made  within  that 
limit.  A  second  appropriation  of 
$62,000  to  make  the  building  more 
nearly  fireproof  and  improve  its  exter- 
ior, was  afterwards  made  and  the 
building  is  now  being  completed  with- 
in the  appropriation. 

L*pon  the  recommendation  of  Mr.  . 
Lines,  Congress  has  been  asked  to 
make  a  more  adequate  appropriation 
than  $100,000  for  the  proposed  new 
federal  building  and  has  furnished  to 
the  committee  having  the  matter  in 
charge  revised  plans,  estimates  and 
other  data  used  in  support  of  their 
claims. 

When  in  August.  1878.  the  tornado 
created  such  fearful  death  and  ilcst  ruc- 
tion at  Wallingford,  Mayor  Lines 
called  the  first  public  meeting  held  in 
Connecticut,  was  appointed  chaintian 
of  the  relief  commhtee  and  had  the 
satisfaction  of  transmitting  something 
more  than  $2,000  to  Warden  ("li.irles 
I ).  ^^lle  for  the  relief  of  the  sutferers 
in  the  mother  town. 

During  the  famine  in  Ireland  Mr. 
Lines  was  one  of  the  speakers  at  the 
meeting  held  in  the  old  Town  hall, 
February  9.  1880,  and  in  response  to 
his  appeal  a  larg:c  sum  was  then  and 
there  pledged  for  the  relief  of  the

needy  and  helpless  people  of  Ireland. 
He  was  two  years  in  succession  chair« 
man  of  the  committee  that  raised  a 
goodly  subscription  for  the  relief  of 
the  citizens  of  Memphis*  Tenn.,  dur- 
ing the  epidemic  of  yellow  fever. 

He  has  been  a  staunch  friend  of  the 
Union  soldier  and  has  always  been 
ready  to  secure  a  just  recognition  of 
his  claims.  He  keenly  appreciates  and 
preserves  carefully  many  votes  of 
thanks  received  from  the  local  Grand 
Arniv  Post. 

Mr.  Lines,  although  he  has  an  ex- 
tensive career  as  a  public  man  and 
during  the  past  forty  years  has  been 
honored  witli  many  prominent  |n 
tions  within  the  ^nft  of  the  people  of 
the  town  and  city,  has  never  sought 
an\  political  oftice.  and  his  public  ser- 
vices have  been  iriven  tmselfishlv  and 
in  all  cases  without  pecuniary  consid- 
eration. 

His  (»piniun  ami  judgment  upon  any 
mnrtcT  is  slowly  formed  and  firmly 
hehl.  Precise  in  speech,  accurate  in 
nu'iliod  and  of  a  commanding  person- 
ality, his  mental  stren<:;tl\  and  his  large 
grasp  upon  aiYairs  have  always  made 
him  a  dominating  force  in  any  corn- 
pan) .  He  was  never  known  to  use 
illiberal  language  towards  an  enemy 
nor  to  abandon  a  friend. 

He  is  a  forceful  public  speaker  of 
the  deliberative  type,  carefully  weigh- 
ing every  word,  seckinj^  always  to  be 
correct  in  what  he  states  rather  than 
to  l>e  ehxpient,  and  to  convince  rather 
than  to  please. 

In  politics  he  is  a  Republican,  and 
although  he  never  sought  political  hon- 


ors he  has  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  j 
a  century  been  r^arded  all  over  Con- 
necticut as  a  wise  and  sound  adviser 
in  matters  affecting  party  policies  and 
candidates.  He  took  an  active  part 
in  making  two  notable  contributions  to 
the  service  of  good  government  which 
have  become  political  history  in  the 
state;  the  first  was  in  1879  when,  as 
chairman  of  the  organization  which 
conducted  the  campaign,  the  late 
Hon.  O.  H.  Piatt  was  elected  to  the 
United  States  Senate ;  the  second  was 
in  1902  w  hen  he  conceived  the  idea, 
and  directed  the  campaign  which 
brought  about  the  nomination  of  the 
Hon.  Abiram  Chamberlain  for 
crnor  of  Connecticut,  he  liaving  hal 
the  honor  t>f  presenting  the  name  of 
Mr.  Chamberlain  to  the  Republican 
state  convention.

FEWER  iiCSH. 


I'ciincr  Bush,  whose  life  furnishes 
an  example  of  a  remarkable  business 
career,  and  who  was  one  of  the  early 
mannfacturers  of  Meriden,  was  Ixjrn 
at  East  Lyme,  Conn.,  June  26.  1791. 
His  father,  John  Bush,  died  when  he 
was  but  six  years  old,  and  I'eiuier 
r.ush,  from  that  age,  l)ecame  self-sup- 
porting. He  learned  the  trade  of  a 
caq)enter  and  joiner  at  sixteen,  and  at 
twenty-one,  after  returning  from  ser- 
vice in  the  War  of  18 12,  engaged  in 
business,  afterwards  buying  out  his 
former  employer,  and  later  buying  a 
house  in  Saybrook,  having  previously, 
in  1816,  married  Eunice  Kirtland,  of 
that  town. 

Coming  to  Meriden  in  1824,  he  en- 
gaged in  the  comb  manufacturing  bus- 
iness with  Julius  Pratt.  Twenty 
years  later  their  factorv  was  destroved 


by  fire,  and  he  lost  every  (hillar  he  had 
in  the  world.  With  characteristic 
courage  he  started  to  rebuild  his  fac- 
tory, and  with  improved  machinery, 
continued  with  well-earned  prosi)erity. 
He  became  one  of  the  largest  stock- 
holders in  the  concern,  which  not  only 
made  a  name  for  him  in  the  business 
world,  but  an  honorable  position  in  so- 
ciety. The  product  of  his  industry  in 
a  few  years  destroyed  foreign  compe-

tition.  and  in  a  large  measure  he  was 
fuially  responsible  in  transforming  the 
L'nitcd  States  from  a  country  import- 
ing combs,  to  one  exporting  them  in 
large  quantities,  and  the  combs  made 
at  his  factory  finally  became  used  all 
over  the  civilized  world. 

Mr.  Bush  was  a  man  of  great  inde- 
pendence of  thought  and  action.  He

was  vv hole-sou  led  and  generous  almost 
to  a  fault,  giving  liberally  to  worthy 
objects.  At  least  three  of  the  churches 
and  five  schools  were  partially  built 
from  his  means,  and  he  contributed 
generously  to  the  cause  of  anti-slavery. 

Mr.  Bush,  although  deprived  of 
early  schooling,  and  almost  man- 
grown  before  he  could  read  or  write, 
finally  became  a  well-read  and  self-ed- 
ucated man.  He  served  in  the  State 
Senate  from  Mcriden  in  1848,  and  at 
the  time  of  his  death  possessed  a  li- 
brary at  his  home  of  1.500  volumes. 
From  the  time  when  he  first  moved  to 
Meridcn  from  Saybrook,  until  the  end 
of  his  life,  he  was  an  earnest  and  con- 
sistent member  of  the  I'irst  Congrega- 
tional church. 

Mr.  Bush  was  the  fond  father  of 
two  daughters:  Temperance  Jennette. 
who  became  the  wife  of  Randolph 
Linsley,  a  sketch  of  whom  aj)pears

married  Partrick  J.  Clark. 

RANDOLPH  LINSLKV. 


Randolph  Linsley.  for  whom  Ran- 
dolph and  Linsley  avenues  are  named, 
was  born  in  Meriden  November  10, 
1809,  and  died  in  the  brick  residence 
on  West  Main  street  hill,  which  he 
had  built  some  years  previous,  on  his 
property,  January  22,  1887.  With  the 
exception  of  short  periods  away  his 
entire  life  was  spent  in  Meriden.  He 
was  one  of  the  sturdy,  reliable,  God- 
fearing men  of  the  town,  and  was  pos- 
sessed of  a  strong  physique  and  active 
brain. 


In  1835  married  Temperance  J, 
daughter  of  Fenner  Bush,  one  of  the 
pioneer  manufacturers  of  the  town. 
and  before  the  Civil  war  he  engaged  ia 
the  manufacture  of  combs  with  Wai- 
ter Webb  &  Co.,  whose  factory  was  it 
South  Meriden  and  at  one  time  aaoi 
as  their  agent  in  England.  After  \ht

to  Meriden.  and  on  a  tract  of  laivf 
comprising  about  fifteen  acres,  where' 
he  also  took  up  his  residence,  entered 
into  the  florist  business. 

He  did  business  on  a  large  scale  ar-- 
his  plant  eventually  comprised  fonr- ; 
teen    or    fifteen    greenhouses.  Hi> 
flowers  were  shipped  to  New  York  an.1  ^ 
sold  at  wholesale,  and  he  also  supplied

ICS  of  asparagus,  lettuce  and  celery, 
ie  owned,  too,  a  number  of  acres  of 
niifl  farther  west  in  Meriden  and 
hrougli  which  Hickory  street  now  ex- 
ends,  and  was  one  of  the  first  in  Con- 
iccticiit  to  engage  in  peach  growing 
»n  a  large  scale.  While  high  spirited 
ind  exacting,  Mr.  Linsley  was  a  man 
Mititled  to  the  respect  of  his  fellow 
;o\vnsnien,  and  this  he  held  in  marked 
Jegree.  He  is  remembered  by  some 
3f  the  older  residents  as  a  man  exceed- 
nj^ly  fond  of  music.  A  constant  antl 
loyal  member  of  the  First  Congrega- 
tional church,  he  always  occupied  a 
scat  near  the  choir. 

That  Mr.  Linsley  was  thoughtful 
and  prudent  seems  to  be  proven  by  the 
fact  that  when  the  city  commenced  to 
grow  in  his  direction,  he  sold  land  at 
a  good  price,  until  he  had  gradually 
disposed  of  it  all.  He  erected  the 
brick  residence  in  which  he  died  and 
which  is  now  the  parsonage  of  Trinity 
M.  E.  church. 

Mr.  Linsley  was  the  father  of  eight 
children,  of  whom  are  now  living  the 
following:  W  illiam  P>.  Linsley.  of  Es- 
canaba,  Mich.,  superintendent  of  the 
Chicago  &  Xorthwestern  Railroad : 
Thomas  Linsley.  a  lumber  merchant  of 
-Michigan:  Xellie  and  Jessie  Linsley, 
and  Mrs.  Sarah  L.  .Mien,  of  St.  Louis, 
Mo.

sixteen,  in  Capt  Stephen  Hairs  com- 
pany of  CoL  Heman  Swift's  Seventh 
Regiment,  '^Connecticut  Line/'  and 
was  honorably  discharged  at  the  expir- 
ation of  his  term  of  service  in  178O. 
He  served  under  General  Washington 
in  the  battles  of  Germantown,  Bran- 
dywine,  Monmouth,  etc.,  wintered  at 
Valley  Forge,  1777-78,  Redding,  Conn. 
1778-79,  took  part  in  the  storming  of 
Stony  Point  and  wintered  at  Morris- 
town  Heights  1779-80. 

On  his  return  from  the  war  he  lived 
in  Wallingford  where  he  occupied  an 
influential  position,  was  a  justice  of  the 
peace,  an  arbitrator  in  controversies 
and  engaged  in  settling  estates  until 
his  death  in  his  seventy-ninth  year. 

Levi  Allen  was  bom  March  30, 
1777,  in  that  part  of  Wallingford 
known  as  North  Fanns.  He  removed 
to  Meriden  with  his  parents  in  1793* 
and  purchased  a  homestead  (still 
standing)  of  Giles  Collins,  where  he 
died  August  27,  1861. 

Edward  Chauncey  received  a  good 
public  school  or  academic  education 
and  with  his  first  earnings  which  were 
obtained  by  teaching  he  bought  land 
adjoining  his  father's  farm  and  built 
a  home.  For  many  years  his  farm 
was  regarded  as  one  of  the  model 
farms  of  the  state,  and  as  an  oflScer  of 
the  State  Agricultural  Society,  he  took 
special  pride  in  everything  pertaining 
to  progressive  farminq:.  ISIr.  Allen 
was  also  prominent  in  the  advance* 


ment  of  the  musical  interests  of  the 
church  and  community  with  which  he  ' 
was  connected,  and  was  one  of  the 
directors  of  the  Worcester  Festival  As- 
sociation, which  gave  the  first  of  those 
now  famous  New  England  musiol

In  July,  1840,  he  became  a  member 
of  the  First  Congregational  churdi  in 
Meriden  and  in  1857  was  chosen  a  lite

gave  her  a  liberal  education.  She 
possessed  many  admirable  and  lovable 
traits  which,  although  a  great  physical 
sufferer,  as  she  became  of  age,  grew

York  Mail  and  Express,  Hartford

Quarteriy  and  many  western  publica- 
tions; and  her  compilation  of  geneal- 
ogical records  for  individuals  brought 
her  the  love  and  esteem  of  number- 
less families  in  this  and  other  coun- 
tries. She  loved  this  work  and  took 
infinite  delight  in  making  herself  use- 
ful to  others,  and  her  death,  which  oc- 
curred June  15,  1902,  removed  from 
Meriden  one  of  its  most  lovable  Chris- 
tian characters.  In  the  genealogical 
collection  included  in  her  estate  she 
left  an  almost  priceless  heritage,  which 
in  January,  1903,  her  executors  pre- 
sented to  the  Curtis  Public  Library 
as  a  memorial  to  her  name.  After  her 
death  the  members  of  her  family  re- 
ceived  from  all  parts  of  the  country 
glowing  testimonials  of  the  value  of 
her  collection,  which  was  conceded  by 
the  best  authorities  the  most  accurate, 
clear  and  rarest  compilations  in  exist- 
ence. The  gift  was  much  appreciat- 
ed by  the  trustees  of  the  library, 
for  without  doubt  the  Curtis  Public 
Library  of  Meriden  now  contains 
more  material  for  the  research  of  fam-

GEORGE  AUSTIN  FAY. 


One  of  the  leading  lawyers  of  the 
New  Haven  county  bar,  and  a  strong 
factor  in  ccmtemporary  Meriden  life, 
is  the  subject  of  tfiis  sketch.  Mr.  Fay 
was  bom  in  the  town  of  Marlboro, 
Mass.,  August  29,  1838,  and  passed 
the  early  years  of  his  life  upon  the 
home  farm.  His  education  was  ob- 
tained in  the  common  school  and  at 
the  high  school  of  his  native  town 
where  he  graduated. 

Mr.  Fay's  parents,  George  W.  and 
Amanda  Ward  Fay,  were  descended 
from  New  Englanders  whose  ances- 
tors were  English  people.  The  first 
American  immigrant  on  the  paternal 
side  was  born  in  England  about  1648. 

When  he  was  twenty-one  years  of 
age  Geo.  Fay  left  Marlboro  and  came 
to  Meriden  where  he  has  resided  ever 
since.  The  future  lawyer  first  en- 
tered a  position  where  he  combined  the 
duties  of  clerk  in  the  ofike  of  the 


Ad^s  Express  Company  with  dot 
of  operator  in  the  Western  Unkm  Tel- 
egraph service.   These  positions  wcic 
resigned  two  years  later  when  the 
young  man  followed  ttit  bent  of  lii» 
inclination  and  entered  the  Law  Dt- 
partment  of  Yale  VwAmmty,  bm 
which  he  graduated  vnA  Iht  &egnt  of 
LL.B.  iniB62.  He  ctataed^tfie  office 
of  the  late  Hon.  O.  l|..Ffatt,  wherehe 
read  law  as  an  assistant^  tcmaining  a 
year;  and  in  May,  1863.  ^  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  Connccticaft  bar  as  an 
attorney  at  laW,  which  professkm  he 
has  followed  ever  since. 

Mr.  Fay  was  elected  ligr  the  Repub- 
licans to  the  State  Scnute  ftwn  the 
Sixth  Senatorial  District  fai  1871  and 
served  as  chairman  of  Ait  Conunittec 
on  Corporations  and  ate  as  dairmac 
of  the  Committee  on  BhcHotw  which 
determined  whether  Hon.  James  E 
English,  of  New  Haveat  of  Hon.  Mar- 
shall Jewell  $hould  be  iltle  governor. 
The  contest  had  been

In  1869  he  entered  the  VaK-  Law 
School,  where  he  reniained  for  one 
year.  At  this  time  occurred  tlic  deaiii 
of  Judge  Dutton,  head  of  the  Yale 
I^w  School,  and  Mr.  Davis,  not  w  ish 
ing  to  riMuain  in  Xcw  llavrn  without 
his  tutelage,  entered  the  Harvard  Law 
School,  where  he  graduated  in  1870. 
Ill  September  of  that  same  year  he 
was  admitted  to  the  Xew  1  laven  Coun- 
ty r.ar.  and  at  once  entered  upon  the 
practice  of  his  i»rufes-sit>n  in  Meriden. 
His  success  wa*^  assured  from  the  first  ; 
and  he  ha^  l'>ng  hi'eii  conceded  to  be

an  ullicial  ]>osilion,  tliat  of  clerk  of 
the  ^feriden  C  ity  Court,  which  posi- 
tion he  held  for  several  years.  In 
1887  he  was  appointed  corporation 
eounscl  and  very  successfully  upheld 
the  civil  rights  of  the  city  until  1890. 
He  was  then  elected  judge  of  probate 
for  the  district  of  Meriden  and  ably 
filled  that  office  until  1895.  He  was 
again  ap]>ointed  corporation  coun>;l

ther term  ot  two  years. 

Judge  Davis  has  acted  as  adviser 
to  many  prominent  business  men  and 
corporations,  and  his  excellent  judg- 
ment, sound  practical  sense,  and  wide 
experience  have  enabled  him  to  be  of 
great  service  in  that  capacity.  He 
also  has  been  counsel  in  many  impor- 
tant cases,  his  comiection  with  which 
has  gained  for  him  throughout  the 
state  a  high  reputation  as  a  lawyer. 
He  has  ever  had  the  best  interest  of 
town  and  city  at  heart,  and  his  pres- 


ence in  town  meeting  is  usually  inacc 
manifest  by  earnest  approval  or  etiual- 
Iv  !i  iriy  condemnation  of  the  rj^t 
ti:>  iirougliL  before  that  Ixxly.  Juc'i:. 
Davis  is  fearless  in  advocating  wh^' 
he  l)elieves  to  be  right,  and  he  dtx^ 
not  allow  the  mere  fact  that  a  me^i^-

Meriden  Police  and  City  courts,  one 
of  the  best  known  members  of  the 
legal  fraternity  in  Meriden,  was  born 
at  Marlboro,  Mass.,  on  September  26, 
1848.  His  services  on  the  bench  have 
ever  been  in  the  direction  of  justice 
and  impartiality  and  at  the  same  time 
he  has  been  ready  to  help  the  unfor- 
tunates whose  cases  have  come  before 
him. 

He  received  his  education  in  the 
hi^h  school  of  his  native  town.  After 
being:  graduated  from  that  institu- 
tion he  came  to  Meriden  to  study  law 
in  the  office  of  his  brother,  Hon. 
George  A.  Fay. 

lie  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Sep- 
tember, 1 87 1.  In  his  profession  Mr. 
Fay  has  met  with  deserved  success. 
As  a  citizen  he  is  held  in  respect  by 
all-  The  interests  of  the  city  and 
town  have  always  been  very  dear  to 
him  and  by  his  word  and  example 
he  has  done  much  for  both. 

He  has  held  positions  of  honor  and 
responsibility  and  has  in  every  in- 


stance proved  himself  worthy  of  the 
trust  imposed  upon  him.  From  1882 
to  1893  he  served  as  prosecuting 
agent  for  New  Haven  county.  I,atcr 
as  city  attorney  he  made  a  record  as  a 
vigilant  and  conscientious  public  ser- 
vant. In  1891  he  was  town  site  com- 
missioner in  the  Territory  of  Okla- 
homa, deciding  land  titles  for  the  city 
of  Oklahoma.

came United  States  district  judge, 
Mr,  Fay  succeeded  him  as  judge  of 
the  City  and  Police  courts  of  Meri- 
den, receiving  his  appointment  from 
Governor  McLean  in  March,  1902. 
Judge  Fay  has  taken  an  interest  in 
his  duties  that  has  made  his  services 
of  great  value  to  the  community.  He 
has  never  forgotten  that  the  prison- 
ers who  face  him  arc  men  and  women 
and  oftentimes  has  felt  it  incumbent 
upon  him  to  give  them  a  few  words 
of  advice  and  admonition. 

Judge  Fay  was  chos«i  one  of  the 
members  of  the  committee  having  in 
charge  the  erection  of  a  new  building 
to  take  the  place  of  the  Meriden 
Town  Hall,  which  was  burned  in  Feb- 
ruary, 1903.  He  has  devoted  much 
time  and  thought  to  the  arduous 
work  of  the  committee  and  has  in 
this  matter  worked  for  what  he  con- 
ceived to  be  the  best  interests  of 
his  fellow  townsmen. 

Judge  Fay  is  an  enthusiastic  fisher- 
man and  yearly  pays  a  visit  to  the 
trout  streams  of  Vermont  or  other 
states.

service,  was  honorably  discharged 
when  peace  was  declared.  July.  1865. 

He  came  to  Meriden  in  1867  and 
began  business  life  by  learning  the 
tra<le  of  a  britaniiia  worker  at  the

has  since  been  secretary  and  trea>- 
urer. 

Mr.  Hyatt's  record  at  the  head  of 
the    kx-al    fire    department    is  most 
creditable  and  his  service  has  been  j 
con<lucive  to  the  best  interests  of  ' 
the  town.    His  long  experience  as 
a  fire  fighter  has  made  him  weD

The  precauti(Mis  against  fire  as  urgoi 
by   him   to  citizens   and   the  mem- 
bers of  the  department,  which  he 
has  so  well  organized,  have  done 
much  to  lower  Meriden's  loss  from

terj)risin,tc  merchants  of  Meridcii.  has 
rt  siiled  in  this  town  nearly  all  his  hfe. 
His  parents  moved  here  when  he  waa 
but  three  years  of  ape :  and  he  was 
educated  in  the  local  public  schools, 
graduating  froni  the  Center  school 
in  ]88i.  Mr.  Hibeau,  like  most  young 
men.  fir-t  tried  other  callings  than 
that  which  he  was  most  fitted  to  carry 
on  before  he  struck  his  sphere  in  life. 

After  leaving  school  hv  licgan  bus- 
iness as  an  apprentice  at  I'arker  Bros, 
gun  shop,  but  his  inclination  for  the 
activity  of  mercantile  life  prompted 
him.  in  1882,  to  enter  the  exceedingly 
well  patronized  grocery  store  at  17 
Colony  street,  known  as  the  Boston 
Grocery  and  then  conducted  under  the 
name  of  C.  N".  Dutton  &  Co..  but  which 
was  fir>t  established  in  1832.  Some 
years  later  he  accepted  the  position 
offered  him  as  travelinpf  salesman  by 
the  Chapman  Mfg.  Co.,  who  conducted 
a  busy  factory  in  the  matuifacture  of 
siiddlery  hardware.  Mr.  Bibeau  was 
a  decided  success  as  a  traveling  man 
and  his  services  were  highly  appre- 
ciated by  that  concern. 

At  the  end  nf  \h^vc  years  he  bought 
a  half  interest  lu  the  store  where  he 
had  formerly  worked  as  a  clerk,  and 
in  H}02  bouj^ht  out  the  remaining  in- 
terests and  became  the  sole  proprietor. 
During  the  i)ast  few  years  and  under 
his  guidance  the  business  of  the  estab- 
lishment has  largely  increased.  At 
first  but  one-half  of  the  store  was 
'  ])i"ned  to  customers,  the  balance  be- 
nii:  used  for  stornge  •])utposes.  but 
■~\]\vv  Mr.  l?ilx*au  '>ctnred  his  present 
storehouse  m  the  rear  of  the  branch 


store  at  the  comer  of  Cook  avencc 
and  Hanover  street,  the  entire  floor  m 
the  Colony  street  store  has  been  util- 
ized for  attending  to  the  wants  of  cus- 
tomers. 

( )ther  important  additions  to  the 
business  have  been  that  of  a  baking 
department  and  a  loldieii  for  which 
purposes  two  stores  on  Baikoad  ave- 
nue were  added  to  tlie  quarters  ocni- 
pied.  At  the  jireseql  dijr  Mr.  Bil^au 
lias  a  large  trade  ailWIHg;  the  leading 
families  of  Meridcn  id  gfOCcries.  <  '-^

counter  is  also  suiq[^d  from  cookmi; 
done  on  the  premises.  He  also  do^ 
a  large  catering  business  in  which  be 
enjoys  an  enviable  reputation. 

In  1902  he  establislied  a  branch  ston 
at  the  comer  of  Cook  avenue  and  Han 
over  street,  which  he  still  carries 
successfully.  Mr.  Bibeau  has  show-n  a 
special  ability  as  a  business  man  an  i 
stands  well  in  the  community,  where 
he  is  known  as  an  entc^^fkuig  and

late  W.  W.  Lyman,  his  education 
being  secured  in  the  local  public 
schools.  On  the  breaking  out  of 
the  Civil  War  he  enlisted  in  the  navy 
and  during  his  long  and  creditable 
service,  kept  a  diary  which  contains 
an  interesting  story,  well  told,  of 
his  experience  on  board  battleships 


in  action.  After  the  close  of  th€ 
war  he  engaged  with  Bela  Carter  in 
the  painting  and  decorating  busi- 
ness and  with  him  he  remained 
for  several  years,  gaining  a  thorougb 
knowledge  of  the  business.  Later 
he  formed  the  partnership  of  Butler 
&  Larkin,  their  place  of  business 
being  in  the  Hicks  building  on  Col- 
ony street.  After  Mr.  Larkin's  death 
he  moved  into  the  Wilcox  hhycV 
where  he  continued  his  business  and 
in  1892  organized  a  joint  stock  com- 
pany taking  a  number  of  his  em- 
ployes into  the  corporation,  which 
through  his  able  management  has 
become  one  of  the  largest  in  its  line 
in  this  section  of  the  state.  With 
a  progressive  spirit  always  char- 
acteristic of  him,  Mr.  liutler  in  con- 
nection with  the  Meriden  Furniture 
Co.,  in  1894,  built  the  handsome 
block  on  Colony  street  which  the 
John  F.  Butler  Company  now  'X- 
cupy.  A  man  of  high  aims,  his  suc- 
ce.ss  in  business  was  the  result  of 
untiring  efforts  and  honorable  busi- 
ness methods.  Besides  the  large 
decorating  business  of  which  he  was 
the  head  he  became  possessed  of 
much  real  estate. 

When  St.  Joseph's  parish  was  set 
apart  from  St.  Rose's  Parish  he  was 
a  prominent  member.  He  took  ac- 
tive interest  in  the  new  parish  and 
served  upon  the  building  commit- 
tee. While  he  never  sought  public 
office,  his  good  citizenship  prompted 
him  in  early  life  to  join  the  volun- 
teer fire  department  and  in  later

pean trip  in  i8<;7.  bringing  his  aged 
mother  to  this  country  with  him.

characteristics.  He  was  the  oldest 
of  si.x  children  and  when  he  left

Richard  and  Alice  Keating,  conduct- 
e<l  a  farm  and  their  son  did  chores 
about  the  home  and  obtained  his  ed- 
ucation in  the  district  sch()()l. 

At  seventeen,  after  immigrating 
to  this  country,  he  went  to  South 
W'iiidliam  to  learn  his  trade,  that  of 
a  machinist.  He  afterwards  was 
employed  at  the  works  of  the  Colt's 
Repeating  .Arms  Co.,  and  later  in 
IVatt  &  Whitney's  at  Hartford,  but 
finally  came  to  Meriden  and  entered 
Parker  Bros.  Gun  Shop,  where  he 
remained  for  a  period  of  three  years. 
At  the  end  of  that  time  he  began 
an  honorable  business  career,  by  en- 
gaging in  the  retail  shoe  business 
in  a  store  located  in  the  Meriden 
House  block,  and  where  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  firm  of  Keating  &  Hurley, 
he  conducted  a  prosperous  business 
in  that  line.. 

In  1889  he  erected  a  brick  busi- 
ness block  at  the  corner  of  West 


Main  street  and  Windsor  avenue, 
and  upon  its  completion  removed 
thereto,  occupying  the  upper  floor, 
one-half  of  the  first  floor  and  base- 
ment for  a  store  and  eng^aging  in  the 
grocery  business.  The  building  of  his 
present  block  in  what  was  then  a 
sparsely  settled  district  was  consid- 
ered by  many  a  hazardous  under- 
taking, but  in  later  years  the  town

grew  largely  west  and  it  has  been 
proven  that  Mr.  Keating's  foresight 
was  keen. 

During  his  twenty-seven  years  in 
the  grocery  business  in  his  present 
location,  he  has  built  up  a  profitable 
business  and  has  always  had  a  fine 
hold  on  the  confidence  of  the  pubhc

locality.  Some  of  these  have  been 
rented  by  him  and  others  sold. 

He  was  elected  in  1881  a  member 
of  the  board  of  aldermen  and  served 
for  two  years  in  the  city  govern-

WILLIAM  WnjiDLKY. 


His  boyhood  after  he  was  nine  years 
of  age.  furnishes  a  story  where  hard 
work  was  a  factor.  His  father  dietl 
when  he  was  four  and  his  education 
in  the  public  schools  of  Hampshire 
was  limited  to  a  very  brief  period.  Ai 
a  time  when  most  children  are  being 
tenderly  guarded  and  care  is  un- 
known, the  little  fellow  was  struggling 


with  his  small,  to  him,  big,  problem 
of  existence.  .\t  the  age  of  eleven  he 
was  employed  in  the  garden  of  Squire 
William  Kingsmill,  whose  wife  was  a 
daughter  of  the  .\rchbishop  of  Can- 
terbury. Four  years  later  he  was  en- 
gaged as  assistant  gardener  by  Scpiire 
Arln  thnot,  a  position  he  retained  un- 
til he  was  seventeen. 

Meantime  won<lerful  accounts  of 
the  rise  and  progress  of  poor  boys  in 
the  I'nited  States  reached  his  ears, 
in  that  far  away  country  where  all 
men  are  created  free  and  e(|ual  the 
youth  reared  a  castle  in  the  air  for 
himself,  but  he  had  no  money  for  the 
passage.  He  did  have  a  friend,  how- 
ever, who  was  willing  to  provide  the 
necessjiry  funds. 

Landing  in  Xew  York  in  1871  he 
sofm  made  his  way  to  Meriden.  His 
own  struggles  had  strengthened  that 
moral  regard  for  a  financial  obliga- 
tion and  within  a  year  he  managed  to 
save  enough  to  repay  his  loan.  In 
1872  he  became  Isaac  C.  Lewis*  gar- 
<kncr  and  held  that  position  twenty- 
one  years.  In  1893  he  |)urchased  his 
present  property,  corner  liroad  an<l 
Silver  streets,  where  he  has  engaged  in 
floriculture  ever  since. 

Mr.  Woodley  married  Eliza  .\.  Da- 
vey.  a  native  of  Devonshire,  England, 
but  at  the  time  of  marriage  residing 
in  Torrington.  Conn.  Their  two 
daughters  are  Emma  Louise,  assistant 
librarian  in  the  Curtis  .Memorial  Li- 
brary, and  Harriet  L..  who  married 
Erwin  M.  Heebe.  in  the  fall  of  1905. 
He  is  a  member  of  Center  Lodge,

of  Pilgrims*  Harbor  Council,  543, 
Royal  Arcanum.  He  is  one  of  the 
three  who  organized  Court  Silver 
City,  7060,  A.  O.  F.y  and  is  a 
charter  member  of  Court  Meriden, 
42.  Mr.  Woodley*s  success  in 
floriculture  convinces  one  of  the  verity 
that  where  a  man*s  inclinations  and 
heart  are  there  will  be  his  best  work. 
The  fKirt  that  he  has  long  played  in 
the  life  of  Meriden  has  made  him  a 
leader  in  his  particular  line. 


THE   COE  FARM. 


With  its  famous  history,  hospitality 
and  excellence  of  garden,  orchard  and 
dairy  products,  the  Coe  Farm  is  pre- 
eminently one  of  the  most  celebrated 
and  valuable  agricultural  properties 
in  Connecticut.  The  farm  is  situated 
just  beyond  the  city  limits  in  the  Han- 
over district  and  reached  by  a  ten 
minute  ride  in  the  street  cars.  The 
farm  comprises  300  acres,  formerly 
owned  by  the  late  Andrew  J.  Coe, 
and  125  acres  leased  of  the  Wm.  L. 
Bradley  estate  adjoining,  and  the  soil 
has  ever  been  kept  in  a  high  state  of 
cultivation.  The  beauties  of  land- 
scape  make  it  a  delightful  spot  to  be 
visited,  and  its  close  proximity  to  the 
business  center  provides  a  most  con- 
venient source  of  supply  to  the  local 
markets. 

The  farm  once  owned  by  the  late 
Ebenezer  Peck,  a  retired  sea  captain, 
and  later  by  Captain  Cowles,  was  pur- 
chased by  Calvin  Coe  in  1821.  He 
married  and  took  up  his  residence 
there  in  the  old  homestead  now  occu- 


pied'by  Victor  Lucchini,  the  prescst 
manager  and  part  owner  of  the  prop- 
erty. 

The  late  Calvin  Coe  carried  on  the 
farm  for  over  forty  years  and  im- 
proved the  land  which  now  shows 
the  good  results  of  his  toil  H« 
erected  a  factory  on  tiie  land  and  op- 
erated for  many  years  an  extensiTe 
bone  grinding  business  and  opened 
extensive  quarries  tfaere^  in  afl  of 
which  he  was  assisted  in  later  yw% 
by  his  sons.  In  1861  he  retired  bvm 
agricultural  work  and  continned  to 
the  bone  business.  That  year  the 
farm  was  taken  by  his  sons. 
Henry  and  Winfield  R.  Coe^  and  is 
1863  their  brother^  Andrew  J.  Ok. 
the  first  judge  of  the  nunudpal  conn 
of  Meriden,  joined  them  in  its  man- 
agement. Judge  Coew  seetnig  ifae 
great  possibility  of  the  land  for  fruit 
growing,  planted  eictenstve  orciiards 
and  vineyards  which  in  their  prodncts 
earned  for  him  an  enviable  reputatkn. 
He  finally  became  the  sole  owner  of 
the  farm,  he  and  his  brotber  Hcnn 
buying  out  the  interests  of  Winfidd  R. 
in  1870,  and  Andrew  J.  the  mnaiuing 
interest  of  Henry  in  1873..

MANUFACTORIES  OF  MERIDEN 


EDWARD  MILl.KR  CO. 


One  of  Mericlen's  most  important 
iiKlustries  is  that  carritd  on  by  Ed- 
ward Miller  &  Co.,  fanioii>  the  world 
over  for  the  "Miller"  lanii),  and  which 
concern  also  manufactures  lamj)  trini- 
ininps  of  every  variety,  tinners'  hard- 
ware, brass  and  bronze  j^oods,  }jfas  and 
electric    fixtures.      Edward  Miller, 
who  founded  the  business  in  1844, 
interested  a  number  of  capitalists  in 
the  concern  in  1866,  and  in  July  of 
that  year  a  joint  stock  company  was 
formed  under  the  name  of  I'!dward 
^^il!er  &  Company,  with  a  capital  of 
$-20Q,ooD.    >fr.  Miller,  liowever,  long 
before  had  established  the  business, 
which  was  begun  by  him  before  he 
had  attained  his  majority.    Mr.  Mil- 
ler*s  father  was  at  first  associated  with 
him  under  the  name  of  Joel  Miller  & 
Son.   The  partnership  lasted  but  two 
years,  when  the  son  purchased  his 
father's  interest.   The  business  from 
the  beginning  grew  rapidly  find  larg- 
er quarters  were  found  to  t)e  neces- 
sary.   A  wooden  building  was  erect- 
e<l  on  the  site  of  the  present  huge 
plant  but  the  structure,  together  with 
its  contents,  was  destroyed  bv  fire  in 

'  mm 

1856.  This  misfortune  was  followed 
by  the  panic  in  1857  but  the  business 
sarvive<l  both  calamities.   In  1858 


Mr,  Miller  hn^an  liu  manufacture  of 
kerosene  burners,  being  ilu'  lirM  in 
Anurica  to  make  and  put  upon  the 
market  burners  using  kerosene  oil 
nia'le  from  distilled  coal :  bronzes, 
sheet  brass  and  brass  utensils  of  va- 
rious kinds  being  laier  manulaclured. 
The  company  has  found  it  necessary 
to  enlarge  the  plant  several  times  ow- 
ing to  the  growth  of  the  business. 

T4^c  Miller  Company  does  an  im- 
mense export  business  and  it  is  prob- 
able that  there  is  hardly  a  region  of 
the  world  where  its  product  has  not 
gone.  The  factory  occupies  several 
acres  and  800  workmen  are  eiujiloyed. 
Xot  only  have  the  Miller  products 
been  designed  to  be  substantial,  use- 
ful and  honest  goods,  but  much  time 
and  thought  have  been  expended  in 
order  that  they  should  be  artistic  as 
well.  The  result  is  the  uninterrupt- 
ed success  of  the  company. 

The  Miller  Company  made  famous 
the  "Rochester"  lamp,  which  it  be- 
gan to  matnifacture  in  1884,  but 
when  pressed  by  imitators,  it  was  de- 
termined to  produce  a  still  better, 
more  .scientificallv  constructed  and  ar- 
tistic  light  giver.  The  result  was  the 
"Miller*'  lamp,  which,  absolutely  sim- 
ple, is  known  to  the  trade  as  the  "per- 
fect lamp."  The  latest  line  is  that  ot 
gas  and  electric  fixtures.

J.  Sloper. 

The  capital  stock  of  the  company  is 
now  $500,000. 

Edward  Miller,  founder  and  pres- 
ident of  this  most  important  manufac- 
turing concern,  the  history  of  which 
is  given  above,  is  an  example 
of  the  successful  American  busl* 
ness  man,  who  by  his  own  efforts  has 
risen  to  prominence  in  the  commun- 
ity. Mr.  Miller*s  genealogy  is  traced 
to  John  Miller,  who  emigrated  from 
Maidstone,  County  of  Kent,  Eng- 
land, to  Lynn,  Massachusetts,  moving 
'to  South  Hampton,  Long  Island, 
■about    1649.  Miller's  grand- 

Either  was  Rev.  Samuel  Miller,  who 
preached  in  Meriden  for  twenty-six 
years,  dying  in  Wallingford,  in  1829. 

Edward  Miller  was  bom  August 
10^  1827,  in  Wallingford,  son  of 
Joel  and  Clarissa  (Plum)  Miller,  and 
apent  the  early  years  of  his  life  on  the 
&rm  of  his  father,  who  gave  the  boy 
the  usual  schooling  then  provided  for 
£ftrmers'  sons,  which,  in  this  case,  in- 
cluded a  short  time  at  Post  Academy, 
in  Meriden.  At  fifteen  he  was  em- 
ployed in  a  factory,  making  lamp 
screws,  hoops  and  candlestick  springs. 
He  was  thus  employed  for  several 


years  until,  while  yet  a  youth,  he  de- 
termined to  become  his  own  master. 
He  set  about  this  with  characteristic 
energy,  purchased  a  set  of  tools,  and 
associated  himself  with  his  father  un- 
der the  name  of  Joel  Miller  &  Son. 
The  business  at  first  was  a  small  one, 
but  the  young  man  knew  his  trade 
thoroughly,  and  prosperity  attended 
him. 

When  only  twenty  he  purchased  his 
father's  interest  in  the  business,  and 
his  own  legal  time  up  to  his  majority, 
giving  his  notes  for  $800.00.  It  is  in- 
teresting to  know  that  these  notes 
were  paid  before  the  close  of  the 
next  year  out  of  the  profits  of  the 
business.  With  success  crowning  his 
efforts  thus  early,  it  is  not  difficult  to 
understand  the  growth  of  the  Miller 
company,  which  has  since  become  so 
important  a  factor  in  the  life  of  the 
city. 

Mr.  Miller  in  political  views  is  a 
Republican.  His  active  business  life 
,has  left  no  time,  however,  for  him  to 
hold  public  office.  He  is  a  liberal 
supporter  of  the  First  Baptist  church, 
to  which  in  1869  ^  S^^^  ^  splendid 
organ.  He  also  contributed  gener- 
ously toward  the  erection  of  the  Ger- 
man Baptist  church  edifice.  The 
Connecticut  Literary  Institute,  at 
Suffield,  and  the  Meriden  Y.  M.  C. 
A.  are  among  the  many  other  worthy 
causes  which  have  found  in  htm  a 
benefactor. 

Mr.  Miller  was  married  on  August 
30,  1848,  to  Caroline  M.  Neal, 
daughter^:,  pf  Joseph  and  Matilda 
(Barnes)' Neal,  of  Southington,  Con-

is  known  as  one  of  Meriden's 
ablest  manufacturers  and  the  p)o(l 
name  the  company  enjoys  has  been

company.

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


from  Brattleboro,  Vt.,  at  Mr.  Wilcox's 
suggestion,  to  establish  the  business  of 
making  parlor  organs. 

From  the  outset  the  company  manu- 
factured a  high  grade  instrument  and 
before  many  years  had  elapsed  the 
name  of  the  Wilcox  &  White  organ 
became  a  synonym  for  the  best  reed 
instrument  made  in  this  country  and 
the  output  of  the  factory  found  a  ready 
sale,  a  large  number  of  the  organs 
made  being  shipped  to  all  parts  of 
the  civilized  world. 

In  1888  the  Symphony  or  pneumatic 
self-playing  organ,  was  invented  and 
put  upon  the  market  which  added  to 
the  already  great  triumphs  the  com- 
pany had  previously  scored  in  the 
musical  world. 

It  was  in  1897  when  the  Angelus, 
the  first  device  invented  to  attach  to 
a  piano  for  its  mechanical  playing,* 
was  conceived,  that  the  company  to<^ 
an  advance  stride  in  the  lead  of  mus- 
ical instrument  manufacturers,  never 
to  be  overtaken  by  their  followers. 
The  Angelus  was  invented  after 
many  years  of  |)atient  'experiment  by 
Edward  H.  White,  tlie  superintendent 
of  the  factory,  and  on  account  of  the 
orig^inal  and  fundamental  patents  be- 
ing in  the  control  nf  the  company  they 
are  in  no  possible  danger  of  being 
copied  to  any  damaging  extent  by  imi- 
tators. 

To  the  original  pate  nts,  the  keen  in- 
ventive genius  of  the  W  hites  of  three 
generations  have  made  additions  to  the 
marvelous  mechanism  r.f  the  self-i)lay- 
ing  pimi.t  player,  until  the  music  of 
the  Angelus  and  the  Angelus  Pianos 


cannot  be  detected  inpi

or  in  conjunction  with  the  Angelus 
which  it  contains.  This  twentietb 
centurv  instrument  not  onlv  leads  the 
world  in  beauty  of  finish,  tone,  and 
careful  construction,  but  promises  to 
continue  to  (\o  so  for  ati  indefinite 
period.  It  has  dozens  of  imitators  but 
has  such  an  advanced  lead  and  is  so 
securely  protected  by  iron  clad  ]>atents 
that  it  cannot  be  approached  by  other 
manufacturers. 

Every  de|)arttncnt  of  the  great  fac- 
tory is  conducted  upon  the  mosi  mod- 
em lines  and  every  instrument  ema- 
nating therefrom  is  rigidly  inspected 
during  the  various  stages  of  its  con- 
struction. 

\  well  known  writer  in  Harper's 
magazine  says  of  the  White  family 
and  the  Angelus.  as  follows : 

"Beneficent  Nature  has  placetl  w  ith- 
in  the  soul  of  every  human  being  the 
love  of  music.  In  everv  thousand  she 
has  picked  a  few  for  the  richer  dower 
of  the  ability  to  produce  it.  Among 
primitive  people  those  mortals  thus 
favored  have  been  set  apart  for  si)e- 
cial  honor,  and  even  worshipped  be- 
cause of  their  ^ndlike  |)ower  of  pro- 
ducing nie](Mly  tiiat  would  stir  even 
the  soul  (»f  a  savage. 

"If  tile  power  to  produce  music  in 
person  be  a  great  mark  of  genius, 
what  may  he  said  of  those  who  have 
conceived  and  perfected  the  means  by 
which  any  one  can  prixhiee  it  I  This

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIOEN. 


player,  which  is  the  present  Angelus. 

"A  third  son.  Howard  White,  also 
deceased,  began  tuning  and  construct^ 
ing  organs  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  fol- 
lowing the  profession  for  about 
eighteen  years,  assisting  his  father 
and  brothers  in  the  development  of 
their  instruments,  the  Symphony  and 
the  Angelus. 

"Mr.  F.  C.  White  represents  the 
third  generation  of  this  musical  &mily. 
He  developed  an  unusual  talent  both  in 
music  and  mechanics  at  a  very  early 
age,  entering  the  employ  of  the  com- 
pany of  which  his  father  was  and  is 
the  president.  The  United  States  Pat- 
ent office  amply  testifies  to  the  various 
inventions  of  his,  which  have  added 
the  recent  remarkable  improvements 
that  have  developed  the  Angelus  to  an 
instrument  of  almost  human  qualities* 
The  piano-player  conception  was  Mr. 
W'liite  s.  The  first  piano-player  ever 
Iniilt — the  Angekis — was  yir.  White's. 
To-day,  the  only  piano-player,  with 
powers  of  expression  that  a  commit- 
tee of  nnisical  critics  failed  to  distin- 
guish from  hand  playing,  is  the  Ange- 
lus invented  and  improved  by  three 
generations  of  musical  genius.  To- 
day the  Angelus  principle,  for  the  fa- 
cilitation of  technique — taking  the 
place  of  fullest  knowledge  of  notes 
and  keys — promises  to  become  univer- 
sa11\  combined  with  the  piano. 

"Of  course  manv  of  these  instru- 
merits  are  imitations  of  the  Angelus. 
and,  like  all  imitations,  have  vital 
shf)rt  comings. 

"The  Angelus  holds  its  position  of 
pre-eminence  because  it  is  an  original 


invention,  whose  inventors  still  life- 
father,  son,  grandson — all  of  unques- 
tioned musical  genius,  still  adding 
constantly  to  its  powers,  making  h 
more  human  in  its  possibilities,  tnonr 
artistic  in  its  wonderful  effects.  The 
imitator  who  must  ferret  his  ia\ 
around  patent  laws,  is  naturally  haodi*  j 
capped,  and  his  machine  is  merely  me*  ! 
chanical.  The  Angelus  alone  gives 
soul  to  the  music.  I>ominant  live, 
enei^etic,  ambitious,  capable  genins 
makes  the  Angelus,  to-day  as  ever,  the 
pre-eminent  and  incomparable  piano- 
player."  - 

Henry  Kirk  White,   father  ar 
grandfather  of  the  family  which  tk^'-^ 
leads  the  world  in  the  genius  of  ir 
venting  and  perfecting  self-playiit; 
pianos,  was  bom  in  Bolton,  Conn.,  in 
1822.   His  antecedents  came  from 
England  and  were  among  the  occi: 
pants  of  the  "William  and  Marv." 
which  ship  landed   otT  Xantasket.

sengers to  escape  from  the  then  re- 
ligious persecutions  of  their  native 
country. 

H.  K.  White  spent  his  lx>yho<xl  dav^ 
on  the  home  farm  and  obtained  such 
education  as  he  could  secure  at  the 
district  school  in  winter  and  readiuc 
instructive    books    at    liome.  He 
showed  a  love  for  music  when  a  b  "

grew  older  into  an  unusual  talent.

In  1 84 1,  having  learned  scientific 
tuning  of  pianos  and  organs  he  went 
west  and  engaged  in  that  calling, 
traveling  somewhat  extensively  for 
some  four  years.  In  1845  located 
in  Colchester  and  in  the  employ  of 


factory  being  at  New  London,  Conn. 

In  1853  he  moved  the  then  modest 
industry  to  Washington,  N.  J.,  where 
he  continued  until  the  breaking  out 
of  the  Civil  War,  when  like  many  oth-

in  the  manufacture  of  musical  instru-

dustry, perseverance  and  strict  econ- 
omy he  was  enabled  to  engage  in  the 
manufacture  of  melodeons,  his  first

velopments,  remaining  in  IMiiladelphia 
and  vicinity  until  1865,  when  he  was 
called  to  Brattleboro,  V't.,  by  the  Estey 
Organ  Company  to  take  charge  of 
their  tuning  and  action  department, 
taking  with  him  his  family,  and  whc-

his  sons  also  obtained  jjositions  where 
tliev  also  rose  rapidly. 

It  was  in  1870  tiiat  Mr.  White  and 
his  sons  succeeded  in  interesting^  Mer- 
iden  capital  to  such  an  extent  that 
with  the  co-operation  of  the  late  Hor- 
ace C.  Wilcox  in  1877,  the  Wilcox  & 
White  Organ  Company  was  organized. 
The  industry  was  welcomed  by  Mcri- 
den  people,  and  has  been  a  success 
from  the  start  and  until  recent  years, 
when  he  has  earned  a  rest  from  the 
cares  of  business,  he  was  actively  en- 
gaged at  the  factory. 

Not  a  little  of  the  great  success  that 
has  been  achieved  by  the  company  is 
due  to  his  genius  and  the  encourage- 
ment of  his  sons  and  his.  grandsons, 
whose  ambition  to  leave  the  world  a 
class  of  musical  instruments  that  has 
made  the  name  famous,  has  been  fully 
realized. 

Mr.  White  has  served  both  the 
town  and  city  of  Meriden  in  public 
office.  He  has  been  a  member  of  the 
Board  of  Aldermen,  being  chosen  to 
represent  the  Fifth  ward  and  in  the 
discharge  of  his  duties  as  a  member 
of  the  city  government  he  won  the 
gratitude  of  his  constituents  and  the 
city  at  large.  For  many  years  he  was 
re-elected  a  member  of  the  school 
committee  and  was  the  first  chairman 
of  his  district.  The  interest  that  Mr. 
White  has  taken  in  the  edhcation  of 
the  young  in  Meriden  never  failed  to 
be  shown  in  his  every  act  as  a  member 
of  the  school  board. 

Mr.  White  has  been  twice  married, 
first  to  Lucy  Com  well,  daughter  of 
William  and  Julia  (Roberts)  Corn- 


well,  of  Middlctown.  Conn.,  and  af-

A  CENTURV  OF  MERIDEN. 


P.\  close  application  to  his  work  and 
a  studious  |)crformance  of  his  duties 
and  with  his  father's  g'uidancc,  he 
advanced  rapidly  and  in  a  few  years 
obtained  a  position  fulK  as  responsi- 
ble and  in4»ortanL  as  ihaL  iicld  by  his 
father. 

After  remaininj^  in  lirattlcboro  for 
a  period  of  thirteen  yecars,  his  abihty 
together  with  that  of  his  father  and 
brothers,  was  recognized  by  the  late 
H.  C.  Wilcox  to  such  an  extent  that 
he  was  induced  to  come  to  Meriden 
and  in  the  formation  of  the  present 
company  of  which  for  so  many  years 
he  has  been  the  practical  head,  he 
took  the  leading  part. 

The  history  of  the  company  is  hut 
a  creditable  reflection  upon  his  able 
management  for  in  past  adversity  and 
later  successes  he  has  been  the  same 
able  financier,  kind  employer  and  val- 
ued citizen.  Althoufi^h  a  man  upon 
whom  his  business  has  made  urgent 
calls,  he  has  never  shirked  his  duty  to 
his  fellow  citizens  in  matters  where 
public  interest  and  local  pride  were 
concerned.-  He  has  represented  the 
Fifth  ward  in  the  city  council  but 
has  never  sought  nor  accepted  any 
other  public  office.  He  is  on  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  Home  Na- 
tional Bank,  one  of  the  trustees  of  the 
First  Congregational  Church  and  a 
prominent  member  of  the  Home  Qub 
of  Meriden. 

He  was  married  December  i,  1868, 
to  Kate,  daughter  of  Samuel  T.  R.  and 
Martha  (Brown)  Cheney,  of  Brattle- 
boro,  Vt.,  and  they  have  three  chil- 
dren :  Frank  Cornwell,  one  of  the  of- 


ficers of  the  Wilcox  &  W  hite  Com- 
l)anv,  and  who  has  invented  many  x'al- 
uahlc  improvements  to  the  Angelus: 
Grace  I^uise  and  Florence  May  ( Mrs. 
Harry  Smith).  Durinijf  the  prepara- 
tion for  the  Centennial  celebration  by 
the  citizens  of  Meriden  .Mr.  White 
has  taken  a  niosl  important  pan,  be- 
ing a  member  of  the  general  commit- 
tee and  chairman  of  the  cumniittee  on 
finance. 

The  late  Edward  H.  White,  from 
the  first  inception  of  the  in<liistr>' 
to  the  time  of  his  death,  with  his  fath- 
er and  brotl'.ers  in  the  Wilcox  &  White 
Company,  was  bom  in  Washington.  X. 
J.,  on  April  5,  1855.  His  early  busi- 
ness training  and  his  experience  in 
the  manufocture  of  musical  instru- 
ments were  at  the  works  of  the  Estev 
Organ  Company,  at  Brattleboro,  Vt 
When  the  Wilcox  &  White  Company 
began  the  nianiifc|:|ure  of  organs  he 
supervised  from  the  beginning  the  tun- 
ing and  voicing  of  the  instrumetitSw 
His  name  will  ever  be  famous  in  his- 
tory  from  the  fact  that  he  conceived 
the  idea  of  a  practical  device  for  plac  - 
ing the  piano  mechanical!)  by  means 
of  music  rolls  which  invention  was 
first  produced  by  the  Wilcox  &  \^liite 
Company  in  1895  and  which  was  the 
original  Angelus  but  since  largely  im- 
proved upon,  by  the  company  and 
which  leads  the  woifld  in  its  class. 

Mr.  White's  original  invention  cre- 
ated a  marvelous  sensation  in  the  mu- 
sical  world  imm^iately ;  and  it  is  now- 
used  in  every  country  on  the  globe 
and  although  some  time  after  other 
inventions  for  the  same  purpose  were

crealcil  by  iniitaturs,  the  patent  taken 
out  by  Mr.  White  and  the  company 
in  which  he  was  interested  have  pro- 
tected the  .^.ngehis  from  the  damaging 
infritigement  of  others. 

During  the  hfetiiiio  of  Mr.  White 
he  *^tTved  as  secretary  and  superinten- 
tlenl  of  the  W  ilcox  White  Company 
from  its  re-organizaliun.  ilc  was  a 
man  possessed  of  a  very  lovable  dis- 
pusilion  and  was  kind  and  considerate 
to  his  fellow  men  and  exceedingly  de- 
voted to  his  family. 

When  very  young  he  was  married 
to  .Mary  Carter,  a  daughter  of  the 
late  Hela  Carter,  and  upon  his 
death  left  besides  his  widow, 
one  son.  .Mian  White,  a  prom- 
ising young  man  of  somewhat  deli- 
cate health.  His  widow  resides  at  th.e 
corner  of  Britannia  and  Griswold 
streets,  Meritlen,  and  is  much  beloved 
in  the  community.  Her  simple  life  is 
spent  in  a  great  measure  carrying  out 
the  same  charitable  benevolence  that 
characterized  their  <kily  life  before 
the  death  of  her  husband. 

Howard  White,  who  until  his  death 
on  December  9,  1897,  was  superinten- 
dent  of  the  Wilcox  &  White  Com- 
pany, was  born  in  Somerville,  X.  J., 
September  9,  1856.  He  was  the 
youngest  son  of  H.  K.  White  and  was 
possessed  of  much  mechanical  genius 
and  musical  talent,  both  of  which  he 
inherited  from  his  father.  Like  his 
brother,  J.  H.  White,  he  obtained  his 
first  insight  in  the  manufacturing  of 
musical  instruments  at  the  works  of 
the  Estey  Organ  Compan\  ,  in  Brat- 
tleboro,  Vt.,  previously  from  sixteen 


to  eiiLrliteen  years  of  age,  having  as- 
sisted bis  father  in  tuning  pianos  in 
Philaflel])hia. 

l'>om  the  organization  of  the  Wil- 
cox &  White  Company  up  to  the  time 
of  his  regretted  decease,  he  took  a 
most  important  part  in  the  growth  and 
develoiMuent  of  the  concern.  During 
his  life  his  fertile  brain  did  its  full  jiart 
toward  making  inventions  and  ini- 
l)n)veiiieiits  to  the  Symphony  and  -\n- 
gelus  and  his  watchful  e\e  was  ever 
on  the  alert  in  kee])iiiL:  tlie  different 
dei>artments  of  the  larue  industry  up 
to  the  highest  standard.  Ilc  was  not 
only  one  of  the  best  known  manuf.ac- 
turers  in  Meridcn  hut  a  valued  citizen 
whose  death  caused  a  great  loss  to  the 
coninumily.  He  was  a  social  favor- 
ite and  a  memljcr  of  the  Home  Club 
of  Meriden  and  was  generous  to  a 
fault  in  alleviating  the  deserving  cases 
of  necessity  among  his  fellow  men. 
He  was  married  in  1880  to  Flora  A,, 
daughter  of  Russell  J.  Ives,  of  Meri- 
den.  Upon  Mr.  White's  decease  he 
left  a  widow  and  two  boys,  Russell 
Ives  and  Stanley  White,  who  reside  in 
Meriden. 

Frank  C  White,  son  of  J.  R  White 
and  grandson  of  H.  K.  White,  was 
bom  on  October  28,  1870,  obtained 
a  good  school  education,  entered  the 
employ  of  the  Wilcox  &  White  Com- 
pany in  1887,  and  has  from  early 
boyhood  been  of  a  very  inventive  and 
mechanical  turn  of  mind;  his  whole 
time  is  now  devoted  to  the  experi- 
mental department ;  ha^,  produced  and

MERIDEN  CUTLERY  CO. 


Among  the  many  business  enter- 
prises that  unite  to  give  to  Meriden  a 
world-wide  reputation  as  a  manufac- 
turing center,  one  of  the  oldest  and 
most  prosperous  is  the  Meriden  Cut- 
lery Company.  Although  not  one  of 
the  largest  concerns  in  the  city,  this 
company,  through  the  able  and  con- 
servative management  of  its  officers, 
lias  been  enabled  to  sustain,  during  the 
seventy-three  years  of  its  existence,  a 
reputation  for  offering  to  the  public 
the  very  best  that  can  possibly  be  pro- 
duced in  its  line  of  goods. 

In  1832  David  Ropes  commenced 
the  manufacture  of  table  cutlery  at 


Saccarappa,  Maine,  and  was  the  first 
to  attempt  the  production  of  this  class 
of  goods  in  America.  As  he  pur- 
chased his  ivory  handles  of  Julius 
Pratt  &  Co.,  who  made  ivory  combs  in 
Meriden,  in  1846,  he  came  to  South 
Meriden  to  manufacture  cutlery,  there 
being  an  excellent  water  privilege 
there  which  is  still  the  only  motive 
power,  and  a  company  was  formed 
called  Pratt,  Ropes,  Webb  &  Com- 
pany. In  1855  the  company  was  in- 
corporated under  the  name  of  Meriden 
Cutlery  Company,  which  name  it  has 
ever  since  borne.  Julius  Pratt  was 
the  first  president,  and  J.  B.  Beadle, 
secretary  and  treasurer;  Mr.  Beadle* 
was  later  made  general  manager  which 
office  he  held  at  the  time  of  his  death 
in  1877 ;  while  Randolph  Linsley  was 
traveling  salesman.  The  capital  was 
at  first  $75,000,  which  has  been  in- 
creased to  $400,000. 

In  1878  the  offices  of  the  company, 
which  had  been  situated  in  New  York, 
were  moved  to  Meriden.  In  1879 
came  a  change  in  the  list  of  officers, 
Aaron  L.  Collins  being  chosen  presi- 
dent, Homer  A.  Curtiss  secretary,  and 
George  ^I.  Howell,  treasurer. 

The  early  sixties  were  especially 
prosperous  for  the  company,  a  patent 
on  a  hard  rubber  handle  giving  them  . 
a  very  large  trade  in  that  particular  j 
line  of  goods.  Through  wise  and

THE  C.  F.  MONROE  COMPANY. 


A  concern  which  for  some  years 
has  added  much  fame  to  Meriden  as 
a  manufacturing  center  and  which 
within  recent  years  has  experienced 
a  most  remarkable  growth  is  the  C. 
F.  Monroe  Company.  The  business 
was  established  by  Charles  F. 
Monroe  in  1886,  and  has  been  carried 
on  by  him  with  remarkable  success. 
The  history  of  the  business,  therefore, 
for  the  past  twenty  years,  is  a  history 
of  its  president  and  treasurer ;  for  by 
his  own  indefatigable  energy  and  ex- 
ercise of  talent  coupled  with  an  ex- 
hibition of  rare  executive  ability  has 
the  success  of  the  now  large  factory 
been  attained.

Monroe  is  a  native  of  Provi- 

-  .  R.   1..  where  he  obtained  his 
education.    When  the  old  Flint 

-  Company  was  started  in  Meriden 

the  late  Horace  C.  Wilcox, 
lonroe  was  engaged  as  a  design- 
that  company.  After  giving  the 
company  the  benefit  of  his  much 
•ciatcd  services  for  some  years, 
cnl  to  Europe.    Upon  his  return 


the  manufacture  of  decorated  glass 
ware,  his  first  location  being  on  the 
second  tl(K)r  of  the  Carter  building 
which  adjoined  the  works  of  the  Mer- 
iden Britannia  Company,  on  State 
street,  and  where  he  soon  made  his 
name  famous  in  the  manufacturing 
world  by  i)utting  upon  the  market  a 
line  of  decorated  goods,  most  origi- 
nal and  attractive,  known  as  "Wave

abroad  Mr.  Monroe  opened  an 
tore,  the  location  of  which  was 
le  Guy  building.  In  addition  to 
acting  that  commendable  business 
as  called  ui)On  to  do  designing  by 
dc  parlies.  The  demands  made 
him  finally  became  so  great  that 
the  end  of  three  or  four  years  he 
ed  a  factory  of  his  own  and  began 


Crest"  ware.  These  goods  have  ever 
since  been  eagerly  sought  for  by  buy- 
ers in  all  parts  of  the  United  States. 

I'pon  the  advice  of  H.  C.  Wilcox, 
in  whom  he  had  a  most  valued  friend, 
Mr.  Monroe  erected  a  building  on  the 
|)resent  site  which  comprised  a  two 
and  a  half  story  wooden  structure  30 
bv  62  feet  in  dimensions.

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN.

In  1891  a  building  three  stories  in 
height,  62  by  32  feet,  was  added  to  the 
factory ;  and  the  same  vear  the  roof 
of  the  original  building  was  raised 
another  story,  making  more  than 
double  the  original  capacity  for  the 
busy  industry. 


In  1900  Mr.  Monroe  purchased  the 
land  next  the  factory  extending  as 
far  as  Main  street,  which  he  caused 
to  be  filled  in  by  his  concern  at  a  great 
expense.  Again  the  factory  was  still 
further  and  more  noticeably  enlarged. 
The  old  buildings  were  separated  and 


moved  to  a  position  nearer  Ud 
street,  making  a  building  IJ5  m 
long,  the  whole  of  which  was 
to  five  stories  in  height  on  the  d| 
foundations.  At  this  time  arx-di^ 
but  entirely  new  builtling  125  h}  | 
feet,  of  three  stories,  was  ereaed  1

factory  has  recently  become  poss«9 
of  an  entirely  new  power  plant, 
its  im^xising  and  stately  chimnt 
which  was  completed  in  July.  l<fi 
.\fter  the  old  power  house  was

enough  engine  and  boiler  and 
»  a  g^enerator  of  sufficient  voltage 
acity  to  supply  the  entire  factory 
only  with  electric  lights  but  with 
tor  power  for  all  the  different  de- 
tments. 

t  was  but  a  few  years  after  Mr. 
»nroe  removed  to  the  present  loca- 
[1  that  glass  cutting  was  added  to 
output  of  decorated  goods. 
\  short  time  after  the  addition  of 
i  cut  glass  department  came  that 
metal  goods.  The  latest  de- 
rture  of  the  Monroe  Company  is  the 
rling-  silver  department  which  turns 
t  ware  unsurpassed  either  in  design 
make  in  this  country  or  Europe. 
The  factory  of  the  C  F.  Monroe 
»mpany  gives,  employment  to  200 
>nds,  many  of  whom  are  accomp< 
hed  artists,  engravers  and  design- 
5 — ^necessarily  a  class  of  workmen 
ho  crall  for  a  large  weekly  pay-roll 
I  the  part  of  the  company.  The  fae- 
ry adds  more  than  a  little  to  the 
-osperity  of  Meriden  and  is  not  only 
faithfully  located,  but  has  been  im- 
roved  to  such  an  extent,  both  in  its 
tistic  interior  and  attractive  grounds, 
lat  it  is  known  to  the  trade  as  one 
f  the  best  and  nentc^t  kept  nianu- 
icturing  plants  in  all  New  England, 
ts  office  and  show  rtxims  are  fitted 
p  artistically  and  the  goods  dis- 
liked are  of  such  excellence  of 
lechanisni  and  beauty  of  pattern  that 
ie  place  furnishes  a  most  interesting 
ight  for  visitors  to  fre(|uent.  In  fact, 
ven  the  people  of  Meriden  and  vicin- 
ty  are  attracted  there  frequently  and 
eem  to  take  a  pardonable  pride  in 


showing  their  friends  the  dainty  arti- 
cles made  there  which  are  so  suitable 
for  wedding  and  other  gifts. 

Both  the  show  rooms  and  offices  are 
more  than  ordinarily  attractive  and 
they  have  been  fitted  up  and  arranged 
by  Mr.  Monroe's  artistic  eye. 

Mr.  Monroe  conducted  the  business 
alone  until  18192  when,  on  account  of 
the  large  increase  of  business,  he  found 
it  necessary  to  form  a  corporation  re- 
taining a  large  portion  of  the  stock 
himself  and  continuing  as  the  active 
head  and  holding  the  offices  of  both 
president  and  treasurer  to  the  present 
writing.  The  company  is  capitalized 
at  $40,000  and  the  value  of  the  plant 
represents  to-day  an  investment  of 
over  $200,000. 

Mr.  Monroe  is  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Trade  and  of  the 
general  committee  of  the  Meriden 
Centennial  celebration*  He  is  si- 
lently interested  in  several  other  en- 
terprises besides  the  concern  which 
bears  his  name.  His  efforts  in  the  for- 
mation of  the  Home  Club  resulted  in 
securing  the  present  club  house;  and 
in  raising  the  funds  for  which  he  as- 
sumed the  burden  of  a  great  responsi- 
bility. Mr.  Monroe  has  lucn  presi- 
dent of  the  Home  Club,  of  which  he 
is  a  most  valued  member ;  and  he  is 
prominent  in  both  social  and  yachting 
circles. 

He  is  a  member  of  the  Sons  of  the 
American  Revolution  and  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  the  New  Bedford 
Yacht  Club,  of  which  he  now  holds 
the  distinction  of  being  one  of  the 
three  honorary  members.   He  is  also

THE  E.  A.  BLISS  COMPANY. 


Meriden,  at  the  close  of  its  first 
century,  is  possessed  of  many  manu- 
factories in  which  it  takes  pardonable 
pride;  and  ani  ens;  its  many  thriving 
concerns  is  the  E,  A.  Bliss  Company. 
This  company  ha^  experienced  re- 
markable growth  and* its  output,  com- 
prising novelties  for  personal  adorn- 
ment made  in  nickel,  silver,  gold  and 
silver  plate,  combined  with  enamel, 
leather  and  comb-making  material,  is 
of  a  character  particularly  creditable 
to  Meridcn  and  the  progress  of  hu- 
man handiwork  of  the  present  ad- 
vanced age. 

The  company,  known  as  tlie  "Tif- 
fany" of  the  plated  novelty  trade,  has 
justly  and  fairly  earned  that  sobri- 
fjuct ;  for  it  leads  the  whole  I'nited 
States  in  its  line — ^a  position  which 
the  K.  A.  liliss  Company  has  long 
since  been  nwst  happily  accorded. 

The  company  bejjan  business  in 
North  Attlel>oro  in  1875  and  after 
fifteen  \ears  of  \ma bated  success  were 
oblif^ed  to  seek  larger  quarters  for 
the  manufacture  of  their  goods;  and, 
fortunntcly  for  Mcri<len,  foun<l  a  fac- 
tory here  well  suitcl  t'-"  their  needs 
anil  which  thi-y  occupied  in  July.  1890. 
To  this  several  enlargements  have 
been  made  from  time  to  time,  the 


most  important  of  which  was  in  iiq 
when  sixty-five  feet  were  added  to  tb? 
three-story  brick  structure,  making:'::^ 
main  factory  butldin|^  200  feet  b 
length.    In  1905  the  basement  < 
excavated  the  w  liole  length  of  the 
t'^ry  giving  still  more  space.  Hwt" 
tire  building  is  now  being  utilize ;  ♦! 
its  fullest  extent  and  the  plant  i«  ^  t 
mirably  lighted  and  equipped  witj 
every  modem  improvement;  and

cal,  comprises  several  labor-savin;:  : 
vic^s  gotten  up  and  adopted  bv  th 
concern  for  their  sole  use. 

By  continuously  ke^tiing  up  " 
quality  of  their  goods  to  the 
possible  standard,  for  the  comi 
cater  only  to  the  highest  da»s  i 
trade,  the  business  has  grown  rap  ' 
and  with  such  strides  that  at 
writing  it  has  reacheil  large  pHX-'t 
tions.  being  tbe  lai^gcst  of  its  kin  '.  1

state  from  Maine  to  Califoniia.

many  of  whom  are  required  to  h^-  ii*;

The  interior  of  the  large  and  bi  s 
factory  is  a  model  of  neatness  au'i  v}

by  the  addition  of  a  generator  of  1 10 
volts  capacity.  The  engine  room  fur- 
nishes 80  horse-power  steam  for  the 
machinery. 


E.  A.  BLISS. 


The  pro(hict  of  the  E.  A.  Bliss 
Company  is  of  such  variety  and  ele- 
gance that  it  almost  beggars  descrip- 
tion. The  almost  bewildering  array 
of  small  articles,  to  which  some  new- 
creation  is  being  added  almost  daily, 
is  such  as  to  commend  the  goods  of 
this  concern  to  the  wide  awake  depart- 
ment store  and  jewelry  buyer. 

In  1 90 1  the  company  began  the 
manufacture  of  shell  combs  for  mod- 
ish hair  dressing,  and  in  this  at 
once  sprung  into  the  lead  in  the  trade. 


In  the  decoration  of  these  shell  conih>. 
plated-ware  adorned  with  imitatioiii 
of  all  the  precious  stones  of  the  woriti, 
arc  brought  into  use,  and  with  mo-: 
pleasing  effects. 

Perhaps  the  most  notable  of  \he\i 
latest  departures  and  that  which  hi^ 
brought  them  more  fame  than 
other  line  of  their  vast  product,  is  tik 
success  they  have  achieved  in  the  pro- 
duction of  leather  novelties.  Therf 
are  the  crush  leather  belts  and  girdlb 
of  mocha  and  kid,  kept  in  sliape,  fef- 
tened  and  adorned  with  marvdloits'

specimens  of  leather  novelties  madt'

in  Mericlen;  and  in  thus  keeping  in 
the  lead  in  the  trade  the  E.  A.  Bliss 
Company  has  earned  the  laurels  it 
gracefully  wears.    Everything  made 
at  the  factory  calls  for  the  highest 
skill  of  experienced  hands  ;  and  the  en- 
tire product  is  from  the  raw  material. 
The  different  departments  of  the  fac- 
tory are  perfect  in  their  arrangements  ; 
and  the  plant  is  fitted  for  producing 
readily  any  article  in  the  novelty  line 
which   the  trade  demands.  Several 
traveling  salesmen  represent  the  E. 
A.  lUiss  Co.  and  call  regularly  upon 
the   trade   throughout   the  country. 
The  show  rooms  are  in  the  Lincoln 
lJuilding,  Union  Square,  Xew  York 
City.    The  company  is  capitalized  at 
$50,000,  but  its  factory  is  valued  far 
in  excess  of  that  amount.  Its  officers 
are  men  well  known  to  the  trade.  E. 
A.  Bliss,  originally  of  .\ew  York  state 
and  formerly  a  resident  of  Meriden, 
but  now  of  Jersey  City,  is  the  j)resi- 
dent.    He  is  a  tyi)ical  Xew  England 
tr.anrfacturer  and  makes  trips  abroad 
every  year  in  interest  of  the  busi- 
re.ss.     He   has   ever   possessed  the 
ficulty    of    foreseeing   the  advance 
wants  of  the  market ;  and  his  taste  in 
the  choice  of  designs  and  ideas  for 
the  trade  have  been  most  important 
factors  in  the  success  of  the  concern 
of  which  he  is  the  able  head. 

The  New  York  head<iuarters.  from 
which  the  output  is  handled,  is  in

INlPERNATIOMAL  SILVER  CO. 


The  International  Silver  Company 
was  organized  under  the  laws  of  the 
fliate  of  New  Jersey  on  November  19, 
1898,  with  an  authorized  capital  of 
$iipoo,ooo  common,  and  ^,000,000 
preferred  stock,  only  a  part  of  which 
was  Issued.  The  company  imme- 
diately bought  the  total  capital  stock, 
of  the  following  companies  from  the 
various  stockholders: 

The  Barbour  Silver  Co,,  Hartford ; 
Holmes  &  Edwards  Silver  Co.,  Bridge- 
port ;  Manhattan  Silver  Plate  Co., 
L^ons,  Y. ;  Meriden  Britannia  Co., 
Mcriden;  Meriden  Silver  Plate  Co., 
Hcffden;  Norwich  Cutlery  Co.,  Nor- 
wkb;  Wm.  Rogers  Mfg.  Co.,  Hart- 
ford; Rogers  Cutlery  Co.,  Hartford: 
Rogers  &  Bro.,  Waterbury;  Rogers 
&  Hamilton  Co.,  Waterbury;  Wilcox 
Silver  Plate  Co.,  Meriden;  Watrous 
M%.  Co.,  Wallingford,  and  Standard 
Silver  Co.,  Ltd.,  Toronto.  Ont. 

Dnring  the  first  six  months  of  1899 
the  following  companies  were  also 
purchased: 

Derby  Silver  Co.,  Derby ;  Simpson, 
Hall,  Miller  &  Co.,  Wallingford: 
Simpson  Nickel  Co..  Wallingford,  and 


Middlelowii    I'late  Co..  .Midd]el»)\vp.. 

I)j.rin.i^  the  same  year  tlicse  ditlcr- 
ent  companies  were  mer}.red  in  the 
Irtcrnational  Silver  Company  and 
ceased  to  exist  as  independent  coqjc- 
rations.  and  tlie  headquartrr:;  of  the 
consolidated  industry  was  established 
in  what  had  been  the  office  of  Meri- 
den I'ritannia  Co.,  on  State  street, 
Meriden,  although  the  building  was 
considerably  enlarged  by  the  addi- 
tion of  two  stories. 

\'arious  changes  were  made  in  the 
scheme  of  manufacturing,  all  of 
which  were  to  the  advantage  of  Mer- 
iden. 

The  production  of  goods  bearing 
the  trade  mark  of  Meriden  Silver 
Plate  Company  was  removed  to  the 
factory  of  the  Meriden  Britannia  Co. 
and  the  plant  of  the  Barbour  Silver 
Co.  was  moved  from  Hartford  and 
installed  in  the  factory  made  vacant 
by  the  previous  change. 

In  January,  1903,  the  total  capital 
stock  of  United  States  Silver  Corpo- 
ration was  acquired  which  gave  the 
company  indirectly  the  ownership  of 
C,  Rogers  &  Bros.,  of  Meriden,  Conn. 
The  business  of  this  latter  company 
was  now  replaced  by  that  of  Wm. 
Rogers  Mfg.  Co.  and  Rogers  Cut- 
lery Company  of  Hartford,  which 
were  removed  from  Hartford  and  are 
now  installed  in  the  factory  on  Butler 
street  With  the  exception  of  the

The  manufacture  of  britannia  ware 
is  one  of  the  oldest  industries  in  this 


with  Mr.  Boardman.  who  settled  in 
Iladdam,  and  Charles  and  Hiram 
Yale,  who  located  in  Wallingford. 
Mr.  Griswold  built  the  house.  50  Gris- 
wold  street,  now  occupied  by  Mrs. 
Charles  Collins.  His  shop  stood 
south  of  the  house,  sei>arated  from  it 
by  a  garden.  As  there  is  no  stream  at 
this  point,  he  mu^t  have  used,  at  the 
start,  either  hand  or  horse  power.

country,  records  showing  that  this 
ware  was  made  in  Boston  during  the 
latter  half  of  the  seventeenth  century. 
The  business  was  begun  in  this  town 
about  the  year  1808,  by  Ashabel 
Griswold,  or  Squire  Griswold,  as  he 
was  familiarly  known.  He  had 
learned  the  trade  of  Captain  Danforth 
of    Rocky  Hill,  this  state,  together 


Here  for  a  number  of  years  he  made 
britannia  pots  and  tea  and  table- 
spoons. The  pots  were  cast  in  two 
parts  and  then  soldered  together  and 
the  spouts  and  handles  added  in  the 
same  way.  The  pots,  after  soldering, 
were  placed  on  a  lathe  and  turned  and 
polished,  and  a  very  good  finish  was 
given  to  the  articles.    It  was  not  un-

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEX. 


til  al>oiit  the  time  the  Meriden  Bri- 
tannia Co.  was  formed  that  pots, 
plates  and  cups  were  made  by  rolling 
the  metal  and  then  pressing  it  into 
shape  by  means  of  dies  or  forms. 
The  articles  formed  by  casting  were 
susceptible  of  a  high  polish  and  pre- 
sented quite  an  attractive  appearance 
if  properly  cared  for  by  the  purchas- 


oftentimes,  when  poorly  combined,  at 
a  low  temperature,  the  effect  of  a  han- 
dle or  spout  dropping  oflf  when  in  use 
at  the  table  may  be  more  easily  imag- 
ined than  described.  A  better  com- 
position was  afterwards  employed, 
made  of  tin,  antimony  and  copper, 
which  was  much  harder  and  retained 
a  more  pronounced  luster.    Tlie  out-

er.  Tabic  and  tea  spoons  were  cast 
and  then  scraped  and  burnished  bv 
hand  if  for  table  use,  or  sold  rough 
for  cooking  pury^oses.  The  metal 
first  used  appears  to  have  been  a  com- 
l)ouiid  of  tin  and  lead,  or  practically 
pewter,  and  would  easily  dent,  and 
as  the  solder  used  was  composed  of 
lead  and  bismuth,  which  would  melt

Griswold  could  not  have  been  large. 
In  1830  he  employed  not  nuire  than 
ten  or  twelve  men,  and  in  examining 
his  sales  book  at  that  time  it  is  found 
that  the  total  sales  of  one  month  did 
not  e.Kceed  $2,500.  The  power  used 
was  furnished  by  an  old  blind  horse

Among  the  articles  disposed  of  by  him 
were  such  as  cloth  of  different  kinds, 
glass  tumblers,  stockings,  whips  and 
yarns.  These  goods  were  undoubt- 
edly taken  by  Mr.  (Iriswold  in  ex- 
change for  his  wares.  His  merchan- 
dise was  sold  mainly  by  peddlers,  who 


antl  undoubtedly  the  exchange  was  a 
profitable  one  for  the  peddler.  Bar- 
ter was  the  usual  method  of  dealing, 
and  as  one  of  the  early  manufactur- 
ers expressed  it  recently,  "Money  was 
a  mighty  scarce  article."  As  there

I.  C.  Lewis  was  located  in  East  Mer-

in  the  north  part  of  tlie  town  on  what

to  Meriden  soon  after  1838  and  went 
to  work  for  Part  rick  Lewis,  his  broth-

names  of  the  following  as  engaged  in 
the  manufacture  of  britannia  ware: 
Charles  rarker,  S.  L.  Cone  willi  four 
hands,  L.  G.  IJaltlw  in,  five  hands.  In 
the  same  history  L  C.  Lewis  is  men- 
tioned as  employing  eight  hands,  but 
Mr.  Lewis,  a  few  weeks  before  his 
death,  told  Geo.  M.  Curtis  that  at  the 
time  the  Meriden  Britannia  Co.  was 
forined,  in  1852,  he  employed  about 
forty  hands.  From  this  one  would 
judge  that  the  figures  in  Perkins* 
History  were  not  entirely  trust- 
worthy. Mr.  Lewis  also  stated  that 
in  the  forties  twelve  hours  constituted 
the  ordinary  day's  work,  except  in 
winter  when  the  number  of  hours 
was  somewhat  less.  The  men  were 
not  paid  regularly,  but  took  orders 
on  stores  instead  of  cash  in  payment 
of  wages,  and  the  merchants  were 
paid  in  manufactured  goods.  Tn 
the  winter  when  light  was  needed  it 
was  furnished  by  whale  oil  lamps. 
Apprentices  were  not  indentured  us- 
ually. To  learn  the  trade,  tnnk  <^vn- 
crally  five  years,  hoys  beginning  at 
from  twelve  to  fifteen  years  of  aixe. 
and  going  to  school  during  the  win- 
ter months.  In  i^^^o  wages  were 
from  75  cents  to  Si.rx)  i)er  day  ;  in  the 
forties  $1.00  to  $1.50  per  <iay,  and  in 
1852  almoin  $2.m  per  <ia\  was  earned 
by  the  most  skillful  workmen.  The

and,  as  tlieir  utility  was  duly  appre- 
ciated by  the  public,  as  was  sbown  by 
the  rapidly  increasing  trade  of  the 
company,  the  number  and  variety  of 
wares  were  constantly  increased.  By 
1855.  they  had  bcj^Min  the  output  of 
nickel  silver  forks  and  spoons,  heavily 
plated,    and    subsc(iucnt!v    they  se- 
cured the  services  of  the  famous  Rog- 
ers brothers,  under  whose  supervision 
these    goods    were    produced.  The 
honesty  and  skill  of  manufacture  and 
Ideality  of  design  account  for  the  rapid 
increase  of  this  biipiness,  and  to  day 
r!u'    reputation   of   their  trademark 
t"j847    Rogers    Bros.")    on  forks. 
sj)Oons  and  knives  is  world-wide,  and 
goods  bearing  this  stamp  will  invar- 
iably bring  a  higher  price  in  the  mar- 
ket than  any  other  lirand.    The  busi- 
ness of  tlie  company  had  grown  so 
large  by  iSfj^  that  the  factory  on  the 
west   side  of  State  street,  over  five 
hiindreil     feet     long,     was  erected 
()gronnd  being  broken  on  the  first 
day  of  the  l>attle  of  Gettysburg)  and 
the   otlur  factories  in  Meriden  and 
WalIitii;ford  were  abandoned.  Their 
wares  were  now  being  sold  all  over 
the   United  States,  and  exjiorted  to 
many   foreign  countries,   notably  to 
South  America,  where  a  large  and 
profitable  trade  was  built  up,  so  that 
a  few  years  later  it  was  necessary  to 
send  a  representative  to  that  conti- 
nent to  look  after  tlie  various  inter- 
ots    '^f   the   ct>tn])aiiy.    which  con- 
nection has  bt  en  since  maintained. 

A  New  >vk  depuL  ur  salesroom 
was  established  during  the  early  years 
of  the  business  in  connection  with  an- 


other company,  but  in  1863  ^ 
tablished  their  own  warerooms  at  199 

Broadway,  and  shortly  afterward  the 
secretary    of    the   company,    D.  C 
Wilcox,  moved  to  New  York  to  give 
the  business  his  personal  supervision. 
By  1866  they  liad  also  established  an 
a.L;enc\  on  the  Pacific  coast  under  the 
care  01  W.  1*.  Morgan,  and  a  few

e'l'jo,    under    the    cliarge   of    ,\.  L. 
^crcdinb,  and  an  agency  was  estab- 
H.shed  in  London.    By  this  time,  their 
wares    had    materially    changed  in 
styles  and  (jnality.    Xo  britannia  was 
now  made,  the  base  metal  of  all  j)rod- 
ucts  being  either  what  is  called  white 
metal  or  nickel  silver,  which  is  as  dur- 
able and  susecptibl'"  of      high  a  hn- 
ish   as  solid   silver.    .Many  articles 
were  being  produced  of  a  highly  or- 
namental nature,  and  artistic  in  de- 
sign.   In  t8<St,  anollicr  large  factory

Slate  streets  in  Meriden.  and  th.-  same 
year  a  branch  factory  w  as  established 
in  Hamilton,  Ontario,  which  devel- 
oped at  once  into  a  prosperous  busi- 
ness.   A  few  years  later,  a  new  j)lat- 
ing  shop  was  built  in  Mericlen.  to  be 
used   c.xclusixely    f<»r   plating  forks, 
spoons  and  knives,  and  it  is  to-day 
the  most  eoni]>lete  and  exteii»ive  plat- 
ing factory  in  the  country.  During 
these  years,  and  since,  many  addiiions 
and  cxti  n>ions  to  the  factories  were 
built,  about  which  no  special  menliun 
has  been  made.     I  he  wares  to-day  are

The  number  of  different  articles

produced  is  bewildering  in  its  va* 
riety ;  they  comprise  not  only  those 

for  tabic  use,  but  embrace  a  Inrjje 
number  for  toilet  use  as  well.  The 
fact  that  an  article  bears  the  trade- 
mark of  the  Meriden  Britannia  Co.  is 
considered  the  country  over  as  a  guar- 
antee of  standard  quality  and  honest 
manufacture.  The  company  in  1895 
went  extensively  into  the  production 
of  sterling  silverware,  and  this  de- 
partment to-day  produces  a  very  im- 
portant part  of  the  output.  In  1876, 
the  company  made  a  brilliant  display 
of  its  productions  at  the  Centennial 
exhibition  in  Philadelphiai  and  repeat- 
ed it  on  n  still  more  elaborate  scale  at 
the  Columbian  fair  of  Chicago,  in 
1893.  They  exhibited  in  Paris  in 
1899,  and  have  made  displays  at  nu- 
merous minor  exhibitions  and  fairs, 
and  they  have  invariably  been  given 
the  highest  awards  in  recognition  of 
their  achievements.  Their  salesrooms 
in  New  York  were  removed  from  i(>t) 
to  550  Broadway,  and  subsequently 
to  46  East  Fourtceeuth  street,  on 
Union  Square,  ntid  a  few  years  ago 
were  moved  to  208  Mfth  avenue,  on 
Madison  Square,  and  thence  to  218 
Fifth  avenue.  The  comj)any  also  ac- 
quired large  interests  in  other  manu- 
facturings corporations.  The  capital 
stock  of  the  ^^eriden  Britannia  Com- 
pany at  its  organization  in  1852,  was 
$50,000;  in  1854,  was  increased  to

1865  to  establish  another  company  to

prosperity  had  developed  during 
those  critical  years  and  there  seemed 
no  reason  to  believe  that  the  period 


tannia  Co.  was  organized  in  Decem- 
ber, 1865,  with  a  capital  of  $150,000, 
and  the  officers  elected  were  Jedediah 
Wilcox,  president ;  and  C.  H.  Collins, 
secretary  and  treasurer.  The  board 
of  directors  included  such  additional 
names  as  Aaron  L.  Collins,  Charles 
Parker.  Levi  E.  Coe,  George  W. 
Lyon  and  H.  H.  Miller.    The  factory

of  growth  was  at  an  end.  Must 
prfMninently  identified  with  the  new 
company  called  the  Wilcox  Britannia 
Co..  was  Jedediah  Wilcox  who  had 
l;cen  very  successful  in  the  wool- 
en business  and  whose  resourceful 
energy  led  him  to  believe  that  the 
new  company  wouhl  be  as  profitable 
as  its  older  rival.    The  Wilcox  I'ri-

time  Mr.  Wilcox,  finding  that  hiswo<jl- 
en  business  gave  him  little  time  to  at- 
tend to  the  affairs  of  the  new  com- 
pany, resigned   its   presidency  and 
A,  L.  Collins  was  elected  as  his  suc- 
cessor.  The  capital  was  again  in- 
creased, this  time  to  $250,003.  In 
1869  quite  a  change  in  the  list  of  di- 
rectors took  place  and  we  fmd  the 
following  board  was  elected:  A.  L. 
Collins^  I.  C.  Lewis,  Qmrles  Parker, 
H.  C.  Wilcox,  E.  A,  Mitchell,  Geotge 
W,  Lyon  and  George  R.  Curtis  and 
the  capital  stock  was  increased  to 
$370,000.   In  1868  a  company  had 
been  formed  called  the  Parker  &  Cas- 
per Co.,  which  built  and  occupied 
what  is  now  the  larger  half  of  the 
western  part  of  Manning,  Bowman 
&  Co.'s  factory.   Samuel  Dodd,  who 
for  more  than  ten  vears  had  been 
the  cashier  of  the  Home  National 
bank,  had,  when  the  Parker  &  Casper 
Co.  was  formed,  become  its  financial 
manager.   But  its  period  of  existence 
was  short ;  for  it  was  absorbed  in  1869 
by  the  Wilcox  Silver  Plate  Co.  and 
Mr.  Dodd  was  elected  secretary  and 
treasurer  of  the  consolidated  com- 
pany and  really  its  manager;  for  Mr. 
Collins,  while  still  holding  the  oflfice 
of    president,    gradually  withdrew 
from  active  management.   The  com-

agement  was  conservative  and  y<'t  en- 
terprising.    The   wares   made  were 
confined  mostly  to  what  is  known  as 
plated  hollow*  ware  although  quite  a 
business  was  done  in  cut  glass  a«i  veil 
The  beauty  of  design  was  a  maxked 
feature  of  the  goods  made  by  thi> 
company.     Mr.  Dodd   had  drawn 
around  him  a  corps  of  well  traineJ 
and    efficient    helpers,    notably  P. 
S.  Pclton,  for  many  years  superinten- 
dent, succeeded  some  years  later  by 
Lewis  Hall ;  also  Henry  B.  Beach  | 
as  a  salesman,  and  C.  E.  Breck- 
enridge    first   as   a   salesman  an<f 
then  as  manager  of  the  Xew  York 
salesroom.   In  1882  the  large  brick 
addition  to  the  northeast  wing  was 
added  to  accommodate  the  rapi<il.v 
growing  business,  while  during  other 
years  there  were  various  other  addi- 
tions of  minor  importance  added. 
There  were  scarcely  any  changes 
among  officers  or  directors  during  the 
last  thirty  years  of  the  company's  ex- 
istence except  as  caused  by  death-  At 
the  time  the  company  was  absorbed 
by  the  International  Silver  Co.,  in 
1899.  the  officers  were  as  follows:  A

Parker,  a  picmeer  hardware  niami-  ' 
facturer  of  the  country,  and  whose 
death,  as  stated  elsewhere,  occurred 
when  he  had  attained  the  remarkable 

age  of  ninety-three.    For  some  years 

previous  to  his  death,  however,  the 
business  was  conducted  by  his  two 
sons.  Dexter  VV.  and  Charles  E.,  and 
by  his  son-in-law,  W.  H.  Lyon.  The 
business  which  was  established  in  1832 
has  added  materially  to  the  welfare 
of  the  town  of  Mcriden;  for  almost 
entirely  within  the  borders  of  the  town 
has  the  industry  always  been  carried 
on. 

The  product  has  always  added  fame 
to  Mcriden,  for  the  articles  made  are 
usetl  in  all  the  four  quarters  of  the 
globe  ;  and  the  name  of  Charles  Parker 
has  become  recognized  thrnujL]:h()nt  the 
world  as  a  synonym  for  the  most  pop- 
ular jijoods.  having  l)est  values  not  only 
in  one  line  but  ai)plying  also  to  every 
article  produced  by  the  company. 

On  a  portion  of  the  land  bitweeu 
Elm  and  High  streets,  where  the  riiain 
factory  buildings  and  office  headquar- 
ters of  the  concern  are  now  situated, 
Charle>>  Parker  hitilt  a  stone  shop  atifl 
ill  1832  began  the  manufacture  of  cof- 
fee mills. 

His  motive  power  was  a  hlind  horse, 
w'hn  propelled  a  j)ole  sweep,  wliich, 
h<  air  after  hour,  and  day  after  day. 
plodded  around  in  a  circle  in  the  rear 
of  the  east  end  of  what  is  now  the 
vii^e  shop  ;  which  was  the  only  j)ower 
of  the  factory  until  1844,  when  the 
steam  power  introduced  at  the  fac- 
tory by  Mr.  Parker  was  the  hr.st  used 
in  Mcriden. 
44 


With  the  previous  experience  in  the 
manufacture  of  coffee  mills  as  a  con- 
tractor for  Lewis  &  Holt,  and  with  a 
very  limited  capital  which  he  had 
saved  from  his  previous  small  earn- 
ings, Mr.  Parker  laid  the  foundation 
of  the  industry  which  now  covers  over 
fifteen  acres  and  requires  four  engines 
of  combined  capacity  of  500  horse 
power  and  twenty  boilers  aggregating 
about  2,000  horse-power;  and  in  addi- 
tion to  that  a  liberal  supply  of  water 
power  at  the  factories  at  East  Meriden 
and  Yalesville. 

At  first  Mr.  Parker  not  only  made 
but  sold  his  own  goods  ;  and  it  was  his 
wont  to  make  up  stock,  then  wait  up- 
on the  trade  in  person  until  he  had 
di.sposed  of  it.  The  practice  of  first 
receiving  advance  orders  did  not  come 
into  vogue  tmtil  some  years  later. 

In  the  early  days  traveling  great  dis- 
tances was  a  slow  proceeding  and  the 
stage  coaeh  and  canal  Ixiat  were  neces- 
sarily patronized  by  him.  He  made 
extended  trips  twice  a  year  and  upon 
OTie  occasion  he  receiwd  an  order 
whicli  took  two  years  for  the  factory 
to  make  up. 

I'or  a  few  \ears.  hegiiuiiug  1833, 
his  brotlier.  Ivimund  Parker,  and  He- 
man  \\  liite  weri'  a^soeiated  with  him 
as  partners,  and  the  lirm  was  known 
as  Parker  &  White.  During  this  part- 
nershij)  the  business  had  many  trials 
and  reverses ;  but  none  ever  affected 
the  financial  standing  of  Charles  Par- 
ker, for  never  during  the  history  nf  the 
business  was  lus  credit  coin|>ronii.scd. 
His  brother  retired  in  1843  and  Mr.

Mr.  Parker,  a  few  years  after,  add- 
ed to  his  product  that  of  plated  spoons 
and  forks,  and  was  the  first  manufac- 
turer in  Meriden  of  plated  hollow 
ware,  at  what  is  known  by  Meriden- 
ites  as  the  Parker  "Spoon  Shop/' 
which  has  always  been  operated 
by  water  power  supplied  from 
Black  pond,  which  body  of  water  the 
company  still  controls.  The  output 
of  this  branch  factory  now  comprises 
a  portion  of  the  company's  lamp  prod* 
uct,  and  steel  spoons,  forks,  knives, 
etc.  The  capacity  of  the  factory  is 
very  large  and  the  goods  are  in  great 
demand  in  the  South  and  West  and  are 
also  exported  to  a  considerable  extent. 

Although  the  manufacture  of  the 
Parker  spectacles,  which  were  exten- 
sively used  years  ago,  has  been  dis- 
continued, practically  every  other  ar- 
ticle which  was  ever  added  to  the  large 
product  is  still  being  made,  and  the 
variety  and  volume  of  the  output  is 
added  to  every  year. 

The  Parker  coffee  mills,  made  in 
fully  one  hundred  sizes  and  styles, 
have  now  been  on  the  market  for  prac- 
tically three-quarters  of  a  century ;  and 
the  demand  for  them  is  greater  than 
ever.  These  mills  have  been,  and 
doubtless  always  will  he  in  demand  by 
the  trade,  the  only  difference  heing 
that  when  they  were  first  made  they 
were  sold  by  the  small  peddler  an  ! 
now  are  sfn'pped  in  carload  lots  to  the 
large  jobbers  of  this  and  foreign  coun- 
tries. 

In  the  early  days,  in  a  factory  which 
5f^x>d  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  road, 
but  some  distance  farther  west  than 


that  now  known  a*s  the  Parker  Clock 
factory,  where  a  full  line  of  nickel 
alarm  clocks  is  produced,  the  making 
of  locks  and  builders*  hardware  was 
pursued.  This  old  factory,  which  has 
long  since  been  torn  down,  once  stood 
on  land  which  was  given  to  the  city 
by  the  Parker  Company  and  now  com- 
prises eight  acres  of  Hubbard  Park. 
This  branch  of  the  industry  was  dis- 
continued some  years  ago. 

The  factory  where  the  "Parker" 
guns  are  made  is  situated  some  distance 
from  the  main  factory  of  the  Charles 
Parker  Company  and  employs  neces- 
sarily the  highest  skilled  workmen. 
The  Parker  shot  gun,  which  for  many 
years  has  been  recognized  all  over  the 
world  as  the  best  made  and  most  ac- 
curate on  the  market,  has  since  the 
time  of  the  Civil  war,  been  made  un- 
der the  name  of  Parker  Bros. 

The  first  improved  gun  which 
has  since  won  unstinted  praise 
from  true  sportsmen,  cost  a  sum  equal 
to  a  large  fortune ;  but  Mr.  Parker  ac- 
complished what  he  had  determined  to 
do  and  which  Parker  Br-tlicrs 
still  continue  to  do,  that  of  making 
in  large  quantities  the  celehrated  Par- 
ker shot  gxm,  which  proved  to  be  all 
that  the  founder  of  the  company  could 
most  fondly  desire. 

For  more  than  sixty  years  the  Par- 
ke r  v!-c.  Miisjinally  patented  in  1854, 
has  been  made  at  the  main  factory  and 
the  demand  for  the  same  has  been  in-

The  I'arker  vise  occupies  the  high- 
est place,  not  only  in  the  minds  of  the 
dealers,  but  is  known  in  all  trades  as 
the  best  ton!  of  its  kind  procurable. 
The  line  comprises  about  one  hundred 
and  fifty  sizes  nnd  kinds,  which  arc 
ada|)tcd  for  the  uses  of  Ux:omotive 
works,  car  huililers.  machinists,  jjuns, 
sewini;  machines,  automobile  and  car- 
riap:e  matiufacturers,  jewelers  and  ar- 
tisan^ crenerally. 

The  Charles  Parker  Compan}-  are 
tlie  oldest  and  lars^est  manufacturer^ 
of  these  vises  and  also  of  collee  mills 
in  the  country.  At  the  main  factor\  are 
alsu  .produced  miscellaneous  i.,^o<j(1s 
inchiding'  a  complete  line  of  brass, 
brtmze  and  steel  wood  screws;  also 
lamps  in  all  varieties  and  of  the 
highest  grade  and  nfost  pleasing 
design  :  gas  and  electric  portables  and 
a  complete  line  of  lavatory  and  bath 
room  fittings. 

There,  too,  the  piano  stools  an<l 
coffee  mills  are  assemblctl  and  tiiii>lie<l. 
the  wood  work  of  which  is  carried  on 
at  the  factory  at  ^'alesville. 

It  is  a  fact  that  The  Charles  Parker 
Co.  manufacture  more  piano  stools, 
benches,  music  racks  and  cabinets  than 
any  other  one  concern  in  the  world. 
In  conjunction  with  this  department 
the  company  also  manufacture  a  line 
of  piano  scarfs  and  covers  of  infinite 
variety. 

Until  1905  the  Charles  Parker  Com- 
pany also  owned  and  operated  the 
plant  known  as  the  Aferiden  Curtain 
Fixture  Company,  the  largest  factory 
of  its  kind  in  the  world  and  employ- 
ing^ 500  hands,  the  product  of  which 


comprises  window  shades,  sliade  roll- 
ers and  fringes.  This  business  is  now 
consolidated  with  other  manufacture 
ers  of  similar  goods  and  is  known  as 

the  Coltunbia  Shade  Cloth  Co. 

1  he  Charles  Parker  Company  be- 
came incoqjoratc'l  in  1876  with  a  cap- 
ital stock  of  $500,000.  and  like  the 
Parker  Clock  Conii)aiiy.  which  it  con- 
trols, is  a  close  cori)oralion.  The  tirst 
otticers  were  Charles  I'arker,  presi- 
dent ;  Dexter  Parker,  secretary 
and  treasurer,  and  Charles  I*!,  Parker, 
vice  president.  Since  the  death  of 
Charles  Parker,  his  son.  Uexter  W., 
lias  served  as  president ;  Wilbur  F. 
Parker,  vice-president,  and  William 
H.  Lyon,  secretary  and  treasurer. 

The  Parker  CI(x:k  Conipany,  which 
was  incorporated  June  u,  1893,  has 
the  follow  iiiL,^  officers:  William  H. 
Lyon,  president  and  treasurer,  and 
James  V.  Allen,  secretary. 

The  several  industries  carried  on  by 
the  Charles  Parker  Company  i;ive

hundrctl  well-paid  hands  ;  and  its  bus- 
iness for  three-quarters  of  a  century 
has  added  L;reatly  to  the  prosperity  of 
the  town. 

Many  of  the  men  in  the  employ  of 
the  company  have  grown  up  in  the 
business  and  achieved  prominence  in 
the  comnninity.  Fortunate,  indeed, 
are  those  in  its  employ ;  for  they  who 
have  shown  a  disposition  to  -ive 
their  best  services  to  the  concern  have 
had  their  efforts  recognizetl  and  re- 
warded in  every  reasonable  degree.

THE  xMEKlDl'N  CURTAIN  FIX-

An  industry  grown  ticin  a  small  be- 
ginning^ to  one  of  magnitude  is  that 
of  The  Mcriden  Curtain  Fixture  Co., 
the  work>  nf  which  cover  several  acres 
and  furnish  employment  at  the  pres- 
ent day  to  several  hundred  hands. 
The  product,  window  shades  and 
shade  cloth  of  all  grades,  sold  through 
the  Columbia  Shade  Cloth  Ccnii'aiiN  at 
New  York,  contrasts  strongly  with  the 
modest  output  when  the  business  was 
first  started  in  a  portion  of  the  old 
Methodist  church  on  I'-mad  street. 

At  that  time  sliadc  roik-rs  only  were 
made,  and  but  a  few  hands  were  em- 
ployed. 1  he  business  increased  and 
the  quarters  were  cnlarijed  by  utiliz- 
ing the  wliolc  of  the  uld  church  and 
by  the  addition  of  another  building. 
About  1S91  it  was  found  necessary  to 
further  enlarge  the  factory,  and  the

decided  to  make  another  adtlilicn  to 
the  [)lant,  and  at  that  time  the  present

erected  on  the  company's  jiropcrrv. 

The  goods  made  by  the  con^jiauy

THE  MILLER  BROTHERS  CCT- 
LEKY  CO. 


Conspicuous  among  the  products 
wliu  h  have  made  Meriden  famous  the 

workl  over  is  cutlery,  and  for  nearly 
half  a  centurv'  The  Miller  Brothers 
Cutlery  Comj)any  has  Ix-en  recognized 
as  one  of  the  important  factors  in  the 
manufacturing  life  of  the  city.  The 
business  was  established  soon  after  the 
close  of  the  Civil  war ;  and  for  a  few 
years  the  factor)  was  located  in  Yales- 
ville.  It  soon  became  necessary  to 
seek  largf  r  nnd  more  accos':ihle  quar- 
ters, ami  till'  site  fif  tlu-  jiresont  fac- 
tory in  Meriden  was  purclia^cil  tmin 
Prntt.  Read  &  Comi)any,  coml)  iiianu- 
faciun  r^.  'I'his  site  has  becii  longer 
used  for  luaiiufacturing  purjjoses  than 
any  other  in  ihc  town,  dating  back  to 
the  firm  uf  Howard,  I'ratt  &  Co.,  in 
1822. 

In  1878,  the  present  Miller  Brnilicrs 
Cutlery  Company  was  <  .rtranized  by 
Messrs.  Lemuel  J.  (  intis.  Isaac  C. 
Lewis.  William  V.  Kuckwell.  Charles 
Rockwell  and  (ieorge  \\\  Lyon. 
This  new  company  look  over  the  en- 
tire business  of  the  old  companv  of  the 
sanu  name,  Mr.  Curtis  \\a^  tlu-  hrst 
president,  with  \\  liiiaui  1".  Kuckwell 
as  treasurer  and  gcniral  manager. 
On  the  death  of  Mr.  Curtis.  Mr.  Lew- 


is became  president  and  served  untjl 
his  own  death  in  1893,  being  succeeded 
by  William  F.  Rockwell  as  presideat 

and  treasurer. 

Jn  its  early  days,  the  Amtriaii 
pocket  knife  industry  ha  i  a  hard  roai  ' 
to  travel.  Apart  from  the  keen  do- 
mestic competition,  it  \'  ■  ground  1»- 
tween  the  tlood  ot  the  clicap  Ccmun 
commodity  on  the  one  hand,  and  the 
English  product  with  its  reputation  of 
centuries  on  the  other.  <  >ne  concern  \ 
after  another  was  forced  to  the  wait, 
and  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dolbrs 
were  lost  in  the  struggle.  The  ulti- 
mate success,  not  only  of  his  own 
company,  but  of  tlie  industry  itselt. 
was  very  largely  due  to  the  great  abil- 
ity and  untiring  energy  of  William  F. 
Rockwell.  His  absolute  knowlc'ige  of 
the  business  and  exceptiuiial  imthe- 
matical  ability  made  it  possible  for  him 
to  demonstrate  to  the  tramer?;  ni  «t'C- 
cessive  tarit?  legislation  the  iniperati  e 
necessity  of  protection  to  liu'  iiitiis- 
try  :  and  it  was  this  protection  that 
made  it  possible  for  the  American 
manufacturer  to  produce  ti>-day  a 
pocket  knife  that  is  the  equal  if  n'  t 
the  superior  of  any  other  knife  niadt". 

In  i88j.  the  manufacture  <ii

CONNECTlCir     TRAP  ROCK 
QUARRIES,  INC. 


Meriden  is  the  center  of  the  crushed 
stone  industry  of  the  state  of  Connec- 
ticut and  here  the  business  of  quar- 
rying and  crushing  stone  for  ship- 
ment by  rail  was  inaugurated. 

In  1879  Carpenter  Bros.,  of  Fort 
-Chester,  N.  Y.,  secured  a  contract 
from  the  N.  Y.,  N.  H.  &  H.  R.  R.,  to 
quarry  and  crush  trap  rock  for  bal- 
lasting its  road  bed.  This  was  the 
first  railroad  crushing  plant  in  New 
England  and  was  operated  by  the 
Carpenters  for  several  years  solely  on 


ballast,  the  N.  Y.,  N.  H.  &  H.  R.  R. 
Co.  takini^  the  entire  product. 

Ill  iS<;()  John  S  Lane,  then  of  Hart- 
lur<l,  conceived  the  idea  of  estab- 
lishing a  crushing  plant  to  supply  a 
small  but  c^rowinpf  demand  for  trap 
rock  for  niaeailam  and  concrete  in 
the  cities  and  luwns  reached  by  the 
X.  Y.,  N.  11.  &  II.  R.  R.  Carpenter 
r. ros,  had  completed  their  cniitraat 
and  ahaihloned  their  quart)  and  Mr. 
Lane's  attention  was  naturally  drawn 
to  the  opportunities  offered  here  for 
such  a  business.  Early  in  1890  he 
leased  from  Bartholomew  &  Coe  the 
land  adjoining  the  Carpenter  quarry, 
opened  another  quarry  and  erected 
suitable  machinery  for  crushing. 
This  was  the  foundation,  and  to  John 
S.  Lane  is  the  credit  due,  of  the  first 
commercial  stone  crushing  plant  in 
the  New  England  states,  although 
similar  plants  had  been  established  on 
the  Hudson  river  some  years  pre» 
vious.  The  business  grew  rapidly 
from  the  start,  not  only  along  the 
lines  which  Mr.  Lane  originally  had 
in  view,  but  the  four  tracking  of 
the  New  York  division  of  the  N.  Y., 
N.  H.  &  H.  R.  R.  about  1893  made 
a  demand  for  immense  quantities  of 
railroad  ballast  also.  This  called  for 
frequent  additions  to  the  plant  and 
eventually  the  acquirement  of  the 
quarry  Carpenter  Bros,  had  formerly 
used. 

In  1891  Arthur  5.  Lane  was  taken 
into  partnership  and  the  firm  of  John 
5.  Lane  &  Son  was  established.  In 
the  course  of  a  few  years  similar 
plants,  all  within  a  radius  of  fifteen

ii*»onipa  nil's    was    clTected    under  the 
ame  of  I  he  Coimecticnt  Trap  Rock 
^uarrio.     Incorporated;    and  this 
ompany  now  operates  the  crushing^ 
lants  at  the  several  points  named, 
upplyini,'  the  trade  offered  by  the 
ities  and  towns  reached  bv  the  X.  Y., 
H.  &  H.  system. 
Since  -Mr.  Lane's  original  venture 
n  1890  the  use  of  concrete  lias  come 
ntd    almost    universal    practice  for 
l^oundation  and  similar  work.  The 
several  states  have  taken  up  the  ques- 
don  of  improved  highways  and  an- 
xfiually  bwild  miles  of  stone  roads,  and 
there  is  scarcely  a  town  or  city  which 
has  not  its  system  of  macadam  roads. 
The  value  of  rock  ballast  on  the  rail- 
roads, too,  has  been  fully  demonstrat- 
ed, and  its  necessity  on  roads  of  im- 
portance is  admitted  both  for  econom- 
ical maintenance  and  comfort  of  the 
traveling  public   These  several  in- 
fluences have  brought  about  a  steaily 
and  healthy  growth  of  the  business.

KELSEY  PRESS  CO. 


This  manufacturing  concerns  adds 
fame  to  Meriden  where  it  has  always 
exi.sted :  for  in  its  works  are  made, 
among  other  printing  utilities,  the  cel- 
ebrated Excelsior  printing  presses, 
which  have  been  on  the  market  for 
over  thirty  Ncars  and  arc  used  all  over 
the  world.  The  company  also  pos- 
sesses and  oj)erates  the  only  type  foun- 
dry in  the  Nutmeg  state,  casting  in 
large  quantities  the  celebrated  nickel 
alloy  type.  At  the  factory  on  South 
Colony  street,  where  a  large  number 
of  hands  are  given  constant  and  re- 
munerative employment,  are  also  made 
the  Combination  cabinet,  the  Excelsior 
type  case,  an  improved  and  patented 
style  which  saves  a  vast  amount  of  la- 
bor to  the  compositor ;  card  and  paper 
cutters,  small  binding  machines,  and 
other  articles  used  by  both  the  expe- 
rienced and  inexperienced  printer  to 
great  advantage. 

The  now  extensive  business  of  the 
Kelsey  Press  Co.  is  the  outcome  of 
the  small  start  made  by  William  A. 
Kelsey  in  1872  and  whose  quarters 
first  comprised  one  room  in  the  Morse 
&  Cook  block.  The  first  product  of 
his  industry  was  one  small  sized  press 
which,  from  its  practicability,  soon 
came  into  general  use  for  home,  of- 
fice and  store  printing.   These  presses,

I'Vank  W  heeler,  senior  member  of 
the  firm  of  Frank  W'heekr  &  Son, 
who  conduct  an  extensive  manufactur- 
ing business  on  Stone  street,  in  their 
own  building,  was  born  September  8. 
1837,  at  Cromwell.  Conn.  A  few 
months  after  his  birth  his  i)arents  re- 
moved to  Moodus  where  he  spent  his 
boyhood  and  learned  the  trade  of  a 
machinist,  after  having  been  previous- 
ly employed  in  a  cotton  mill  in  that 
town. 

Late  in  the  50s  he  came  to  Meriden, 
where  he  has  been  located  ever  since, 
and  became  employed  by  Parker, 
Snow,  Brooks  &  Co.  and  later  by  N. 
C.  Stiles,  who  conducted  a  machine 
shop  in  a  wooden  building  on  the  site 
of  the  present  journal  building.  Mr. 
Stiles,  about  that  time,  began  the  man- 
ufacture of  power  presses;  and  Mr. 
Wheeler  worked  on  the  first  one  pro- 
duced. About  i860  Mr.  Wheeler 
abandoned  the  machinist  trade  and 
engaged  in  photography,  for  some 
years  thereafter  conducting  a  studio 
at  the  corner  of  Main  and  Hanover 
streets,  in  which  building  he  also 
resided.  He  soon  built  up  a  high 
re|)i'.tation  as  an  artist  in  portrait 
photography,  but  during  the  last  por- 
tion of  the  time  he  was  engaged  in 
conducting  a  studio,  he  branched 
out  into  commercial  photography,  in 
which  he  became  justly  celebrated. 
In  1890  he  engaged  in  the  machinist 
business,  first  in  a  small  way,  his  orig- 
inal location  being  on  the  second  floor 
of   the   building  on   South  Colony

BRADLEY  &  HL  DUARD  MFG.  CO. 


An  industry  which  has  for  many 
years  been  one  of  the  largest  in  its 
line  in  the  world,  and  an  important 
factor  in  the  growth  and  business  rep- 
utation of  Meriden,  is  that  of  Bradley 
&  Hubbard  iMfg.  Co.,  organized  Jan- 
uary I,  1875,  succeeding  Nathaniel 
L.  Bradley  and  W  alter  Hubbard,  who 
founded  the  business  in  1854.  Their 
works  consisted  of  a  small  two-story 
frame  building  Iwated  at  the  corner 
of  Hanover  and  lUitler  streets.  The 
company's  present  buildings  cover  an 
area  of  more  than  si.\  acres,  with  sev- 
eral hundred  thousand  feet  of  floor 
space.  When  the  company  was  in- 
corporated the  officers  were  Walter 
Hubbard,  president;  Nathaniel  L. 
Bradley,  treasurer,  and  Charles  F. 
Linsley,  secretary,  who  with  Clarence 
I'.  I'radley,  have  always  composed 
the  board  of  directors,  as  well  as  the 
stockholders  of  the  company.  .\t  the 
date  of  its  incorporati(jn  the  company 
employed  alwut  150  people;  to-day 
there  are  nearly  i  .ooo,  which  indicates 
the  growth  of  a  business  started  in 
1854  with  not  more  than  twenty-five 
em|)loyes.

WALTER  HUBBARD. 


Walter  Hubbard,  president  of  the 
Bradley  &  Hubbard  Mfg.  Co.,  whose 
gift  to  the  people  of  Meriden  of  the 
park  bearing  his  name,  has  awakened 
a  desire  in  many  people  of  the  state 
and  country  who  have  visited  Meriden 
and  Hubbard  park,  to  know  some- 
thing more  of  the  city's  benefactor  be- 
yond the  fact  that  he  is  a  gentleman 
of  culture  and  means.  For  nearly  a 
half  century  he  lias  been  one  of  its 
leading  citizens.  Politics  and  public 
station  have  never  attracted  Iiim. 

]T(  was  bom  Sept.  23,  1828,  in 
Middletown,  Conn.,  is  a  descendant 
of  George  Hubbard,  who  came  from 
England  in  1633,  and  was  one  of  the 


original  settlers  of  Middletown  in 
1650.  His  ancestors  have  lived  in 
this  region  for  250  years  and  the  Hub- 
bards  furnished  a  remarkable  record 
in  the  war  of  the  Revolution.  Cap- 
tain Jeremiah  Hubbard,  grandfather 
of  Walter  Hubbard,  was  one  of  the 
number. 

Like  the  majority  of  the  }outh  of 
his  day,  Walter  Hubbard  was  reared 
on  a  farm. 

He  was  educated  in  the  public 
schools  and  also  attended  the  Chase 
preparatory  school  of  Middletown. 
At  the  age  of  eighteen  years  he  se- 
cured a  position  as  clerk  in  a  Meri- 
den store,  and  with  aid  of  self  denial, 
a  clear  head  and  energy,  he  was  en- 
abled to  accumulate  enough  capital  to 
embark  in  business  for  himself.  This 
he  did  in  1851,  opening  a  dry-goods 
and  clothing  store  in  Meriden  and 
continuing  it  successfully  until  i860. 
In  1852  he  was  married  to  Abby  Ann, 
daughter  of  Levi  Bradley,  of  Chesh* 
ire ;  she  died  a  few  months  after  their 
marriage,  and  Mr.  Hubbard  has  never 
again  married. 

In  1854,  in  company  with  his  broth* 
er-in-law,  N.  L.  Bradley,  Mr.  Hub- 
bard founded  the  business  which  in 
1875  became  incorporated  under  the 
name  of  the  Bradley  &  Hubbard  Mfg. 
Co.  and  devoted  himself  entirely  to  its 
interests.  Since  its  incorporation  he 
has  been  president  of  this  gi\at  indus- 
try. Mr.  Hubbard  is  actively  con- 
nected with  many  important  concerns 
of  Meriden.  He  is  president  of  the 
Meriden  Gas  Light  Company,  the 
Meriden  Electric  Light  Company  and

the  Meriden  Trust  &  Safe  Deposit 
Company.  He  is  also  interested  in  lo- 
cal banks  and  other  companies  as 
a  stockholder  and  director.  In  1882-3 
Mr.  Hubbard  built  the  Winthrop  lio- 
tel,  which  is  one  of  the  finest  in  New 
England.  In  this  he  was  actuated  to 
confer  a  benefit  upon  the  city  rather 
than  as  an  investment.  His  gifts  to 
various  cli.irities  have  been  numerous. 
He  has  always  made  liberal  donati(Mis 
to  public  charities  and  has  given  free- 
ly of  his  means  to  the  cause  of  educa- 
tion. His  interest  in  the  Meriden 
hospital  has  been  of  great  benefit  and 
in  keeping  with  his  gifts  to  other  in- 
stitutions. In  1883-84,  Mr.  Hubbard 
went  around  the  world  and  be  has  fre- 
quently visited  Kuropc  ami  the  prin- 
cipal jiortitMis  uf  this  count rv. 

Mr.  Hubbard  is  a  member  of  the 
Union  Lcarjuc  Club  of  New  York,  the 
New  EngiaiKl  sfX'iety.  of  New  York, 
the  American  (,ic< 'graphical  society, 
and  a  number  of  stale  and  city  organ- 
izations. He  makes  liis  home  in  a

NATHANIEL  L.  BRADLEY. 


Nathaniel  Lyman  Bradley,  treasur- 
er of  the  Bradley  &  Hulibard  Mfg. 
Companv,  is  a  man  who  bears  the  liigh- 
est  reputati*>n  for  business  ability  not 
only  in  his  own  city  of  Meriden,  but 
also  in  all  the  business  centers. 
The  firm  of  which  he  is  treasurer  and 
one  of  the  chief  stockhoMers.  is  first 
in  the  worM  in  its  line  of  goods  and 
a  proportionate  share  of  its  success 


has  come  through  bis  grasp  of  bust> 
ness  situations. 

Mr.  Bradley  was  bom  in  Cbeshiie, 
Connecticut,  December  27,  1820. 
His  parents  were  Levi  and  Abigail 
Ann  (Atwater)  Bradley.  vq;>ngfat  and 
unassuming  farming  people  who  came 
of  the  good  sturdy  New  Engtand 
stock.  Daniel  Bradley*  father  of 
Levi,  was  a  farmer  in  Vermont  and 
was  driven  from  his  home  by  the  mil- 
itary operations  of  the  British  during 
the  Revolution.  He  moved  to  Ham- 
den,  G>nnecticut»  and  thence  to  Chesh- 
ire. His  son,  Levi,  was  bom  in 
Cheshire  November  11.  1792,  and  uie*! 
in  Meriden  March  18,  1877.  Levi 
Bradley  was  a  man  of  ^eat  energy 
and  keen  business  discernment.  He 
was  not  content  to  be  merely  a  fanner, 
he  strove  to  be  the  best  farmer  in  his 
section.  His  success  characterized 
his  whole  career  and  his  three  sons, 
Samuel,  Wtninm  L.  and  Nathaniel  I... 
inherited  much  of  his  business  abiiiiy. 
The  subject  of  this  sketch  has  also  had 
two  sisters :  Kmeline  Amelia  Bradley, 
married  the  late  Alfred  P.  Cimis,  and 
was  the  mother  of  Mrs.  George  A. 
Fay;  and  Abby  Aim  Bradlev.  diH  in 
1852.  who  married  Walter  Hubl^ard. 
president  of  the  Bradley  &  Hubbard 
Mfg.  Co. 

Nathaniel  Bradley  received  his 
early  schfK>hng  in  the  Cheshire  schools 
and  graduated  from  the  obi  Meriden 
Academy  where  so  many  of  his  fellow 
citizens  finished  their  education.  He 
left  school,  however,  at  the  earlv  aee 
of  fifteen  and  at  once  went  to  work  ^

a  year  his  father  felt  that  he 
must  have  his  aid  on  the  farm, 
and  s'»  he  returned  home,  great- 
ly to  the  rej^Mct  of  Mr.  Hug:hes. 
wlio  had  already  reco^ni/ed  the  apti- 
tude of  the  lad.  He  continued  to  work 
for  his  father  until  he  was  twenty - 
one;  but  the  life  of  a  fanner  did  not 
satisfy  his  gruwini;  ambition  to  bc- 
C(  ime  of  sr»!nc  note  in  thi>  world  and, 
accurdingiy,  when  the  opportunity 
came  of  embarking'  in  a  little  business 
venture  in  Soinliinifton,  Conn.,  he 
readily  accej>leil  the  olYir  to  Iteeonie 
one  of  the  stockiit ili K  rs.  His  l)usiness 
was  the  making"  of  elocks  an.l  after  six 
njotiths'  expericiiee  in  tlie  factory  he 
was  olVrred  the  contract  of  making 
11h(  (•  hundred  clocks  a  tlay  and  gladly 
took  the  responsibility.  It  was  during 
liis  connection  wnh  ihi.->  small  concern 
that  he  was  given  his  first  opportunity 
to  show  his  skill  as  a  salesman. 
Owing  to  the  overproduction  of  the 
factory,  Mr.  Bradley  was  sent  to  New 
York,  Philadelphia,  Baltimore  an4 
Washington  to  sell  some  of  the  Fiir- 
plus  stock.  The  result  oC  his  first 
trip  was  such  that  he  not  only  solH 
all  the  goods  on  hand  but  continued 
to  keep  the  factorj'  busv  with  other 
orders  that  taxed  the  factory  to  its 
fullest  capacity.  His  success  in  sell- 
ing goods  was  appreciated  to  such 
an  extent  that  he  was  made  the 
head  salesman  and  a  director  in  the 
company.  Here  he  continued  un- 
til 1854  when,  in  company  with  oth- 


ers, he  starte<i  that  great  induitn 
with  whicli  ins  name  has  ever  since 
been  a>sociated  in  ]Vferi<kn.  the  pecu- 
lation of  which  was  tlion  but  J.500.

result  of  this  one  instance  of  his 
heartfelt  interest  in  the  institution

His  success  in  familiarizing  himself

THE   HAXDEL  COMPANY. 


This  Meriden  manulacturing  con- 
cern, incorporated  in  1904.  with  a  cap- 
ital of  $50,000,  occupies  an  enviable 
position  in  the  trade;  for  its  goods, 
so  original  in  (icsi£:fn  and  artistic  in 
creation,  make  it  independent  of  either 
American  or  foreign  competition.  Its 
prodnct.  "ITaiiflel  Ware,"  appeals  to 
all  high  class  and  celebrated  interior 
decorators  and  jewelers,  and  the  rep- 
utation the  concern  has  s^ainerl  is  the 
reMilt  of  the  artistic  abilities  of  the 
man  whose  name  it  bears,  and  the 
historv  of  the  business,  therefore,  is 
lliat  of  its  })rcsi(Ient.  treasurer  and 
founder,  who  is  a  native  of  Meriden. 

Philip  J.  Maudel  is  one  of  four  chil- 
dren, and  bis  i)arents  were  Jacob  and 
icrnie  (Wulcrich)  Handel,  iiis 
^grandfather.  Philip  Adam  Handel, 
was  an  industrious  farmer  of  Witten- 
berg", Germany,  who  cmiLrrated  to  this 
country  and  settled  in  J"".ast  Hartford, 
after  having  learned  of  the  advantages 
to  be  availed  of  in  America  through 
Iiis  daughter,  Fredcricka.  who  had 
^one  l)efore.  Iiis  maternal  grand- 
father, Frederick  Wuterich,  was  also 
:i  native  of  Wittenberg,  Germany;  he 
was  the  proprietor  of  large  machine 
works  there,  but  died  when  (juite  a 
young  man.  Jacob  Handel,  father  of 
Philip  J.,  settled  in  Meriden  many 
years  ago  and  married  here,  in  the 
early  sixties,  Catherine  Wuterich,  who 


79 

was  also  bom  in  Wittenberg.  He 
was  a  worthy  and  respected  citizen  o£ 
Meriden,  and  died  by  accident  in  1875, 
after  having  been  employed  as  a  fore- 
man for  many  years  at  the  works  of 
the  Charles  Parker  Co. 

His  children  were  George  and  Fred,. 
now  large  dealers  in  cattle  and  general; 
merchandise  at  Musselshri]  Mont.^ 
Emma,  who  married  Dr.  Frankliit 
Drake,  a  leading  practicing  physician 
of  Webster  City,  Iowa ;  and  the  sub- 
ject of  this  sketch.  He  tnarried  in 
i8<}o  Caroline  Sutterlin.  who  died  in 
1904,  after  a  lingering  illness  of  two- 
years. 

Like  his  brothers,  PhiHj>  J.  Handel 
is  ruggetl  iji  phxsifiue.  and  when 
nine  years  old.  bis  father  having  died, 
he  was  possessed  with  that  sense  of 
responsibility  that  he  began  to  take 
part  in  the  maintenance  of  the  housc- 
hnhl.  a  boy  he  showed  a  talent 

for  drawing,  which  was  heart ilv  en- 
couraged by  his  fond  parents,  and  he 
studied,  with  a  laudable  aim  and  am- 
bition, bot>ks  of  art.  To  assist  him 
in  attaining  his  ambition  he  bought  a 
printing  outfit,  and,  in  the  play  hours 
of  the  ordinary  boy.  did  job  printing 
on  a  small  sealr.  At  the  age  <.»t  four- 
teen he  left  school  and  secured  em- 
ployment at  the  iactorx  of  the  Mer- 
iden Piritamiia  Co.,  but  a  month  later 
he  entered  the  works  of  the  old  Mer- 
iden Flint  Glass  Company.  In  the 
latter  factory  he  was  given  an  oppor- 
tunity to  show  his  capability  and  to 
develop  a  talent  for  designing  and 
decorating,  which  in  late  years  has- 
proved  invaluable  to  him.   At  the  age-

roSTER.  MERRIAM  &  CO. 


This  time  honored  concern  lias  add- 
ed to  the  prosperit)  and  fame  of  Mcr- 
iden  as  a  manufacturing  center  for 
o\'cT  seventy  years  :  and  from  the  start 
have  been  associated  with  it  maitty  men 
who  have  taken  an  important  part  in 
the  history  of  tlic  town.  Foster, Mer- 
riani  &  Co.  at  the  jirescnt  day  conduct 
a  large  factory  fronting  on  Cross  street 
and  extending  several  hundred  feet 
along  the  tracks  of  the  N.  Y..  X.  H.  & 
H,  railroad,  in  the  very  heart  of  Meri- 
den»  They  are  extensive  manufactur- 
ers of  casters,  drop  handles,  furniture 
trimmings,  cabinet  hardware  and  bath 
room  fittings. 

The  business  of  the  present  day  con- 
trasts stronjjly  with  the  small  start 
made  in  the  western  part  of  Meriden, 
at  wliat  was  then  known  as  Crow  Hol- 
low, and  the  small  shop  thirty  by  twen- 
ty-hvc  feet,  first  utilized,  has  long  since 
been  destroyed  bv  fire;  but  its  location 
is  marked  b\'  tlie  foundation  which 
still  remains. 

The  original  founders  of  the  busi- 
ness were  Albert  Foster,  Hiram  Fos- 
ter, Julius  W  ay,  Asaph  Merriam,  Nel- 
son Merriam.  all  of  Meriden,  and  a 
Mr.  liclden,  of  Xew  Britain,  who 
formed  the  first  partnership  under  the 


name  of  Foster,  Belden  &  Co.,  for  thi 
making  of  casters  only.  The  capita! 
was  then  but  about  $2,500.  The  fim 
did  not  make  its  own  castings;  the} 
were  cast  at  a  foundry  in  the  town,  and 
one  of  the  firm  used  to  carr>'  the  cast- 
ings in  his  buggy  to  the  ^op  r\-«r. 
day,  and  bring  them  back  to  the  dqx 
when  finished  and  packed,  in  the  same 
vehicle.  There  were  probably  le» 
than  200  pounds  of  castinjgs  used  da  > 
by  the  little  shop.  The  firm  simph 
finished  the  work  and  shipix-d  :: 
Horse  power  was  used  in  turning  th- 
machinerv.  and  die  members  of  the 
iirin  were  at  first  the  onlv  workmc 
employed.  The  finn  as  organized  w 
1835,  was  short  lived,  for  the  follow- 
ing year.  Mr.  Belden  sold  his  interest 
to  Asaph  and  Xelson  Merriam.  W  ' 
the  %*ithdrawal  of  Mr.  Belden.  the 
name  was  changed  to  Foster.  Mer- 
riam &  Co.  At  this  time  tlie  prodiic 
of  the  business  did  not  exce^  fifty  set- 
of  casters  i)er  day.  The  panic  of  '3; 
nearly  sw  ept  the  fimi  out  of  existence 
as  it  was.  the  company  was  obliged  i 
suspend  operations  for  six  months 
.Mthough  every  credit  cu^trnncr  on  tiu 
company's  books  failed  ami  did  U' " 
j)ay  over  fifty  pc  r  cent,  of  their  oblis^a

partment was  conducted  separately  un- 
der the  firm  name  of  A.  W'atrous  & 
(.  0.  This  branch  continued  until  the 
<leath  of  Mr.  W'atrous  in  1862.  when 
his  interest  was  bouji^ht  out  by  the  sur- 
viving members.  In  i.^iT)  the  firm 
was  incorporated  as  a  joint  st(Kk  com- 
l)any  with  a  capital  of  $8o,0(xd.  but  has 
always  been  conducted  under  the  old 
firm  name.  In  i^*)  the  manufacture 
of  drop  handles  was  added  to  the  bus- 


iness, and  has  j^^rown  to  larjje  propor- 
tions. Also,  as  demanded  by  the 
trade,  various  kinds  of  furniture  trim- 
minjjs  have  been  added,  until  almost 
anythinpf  in  the  hardware  line  required 
by  manufacturers  of  furniture  can  be 
found  among  the  product  of  this  firm. 
From  its  establishment  until  1880. 
none  of  the  members  of  the  firm  had 
died  while  a  member :  but  in  I'ebru- 
ary  of  that  year.  Xelson  Merriam.  the 
president,  was  stricken  suddenly  of

Rutherford  was  elected  secretary, 
and  William  Zerfass  superintendent. 
Shortly  after  the  decease  of  Mr.  Mer- 


riam who  died  suddenly  March  23. 
1904,  William  Zerfass  was  elected 
president,  also  retaining  the  office  of 
superintendent.  Robert  J.  Merriain 
was  then  elected  to  his  present  office 
as  treasurer. 

The  present  directors  of  the  com- 
l)any  are  as  follows :  William  Zer- 
fass. J.  I..  Rutherford.  Robert  J.  Mer- 
riam, (leorge  E.  Savage  and  Dr.  O.  A. 
Parker.  , 

The  business  of  the  company  lias  in- 
creased largely  within  the  past  decade 
and  several  noticeable  enlargeinems 
and  additions  have  been  made  to  the 
plant,  which  now  covers  a  large  area, 
as  is  shown  in  the  accompanying  en- 
graving. Over  350  hands  are  given 
steady  employment  and  the  product  ot 
the  factory  is  shipped  all  over  the 
world.  The  goods  are  made  from  the 
raw  material  and  every  portion  of  the 
work  of  producing  their  large  output 
is  conducted  within  the  several  build- 
ings now  occupied.  The  business  adds 
greatly  to  the  prosperity  of  Meriden : 
and  the  product  of  the  factor>'  is 
l)oth  creditable  to  the  city  and  a  source 
of  pride  to  its  citizens. 

The  trade  embraces  a  large  terri- 
tory, and  there  is  no  state  in  the  Union 
in  which  cannot  be  found  those  who 
i  se  some  of  the  articles  manufacture<i 
by  this  concern  ;  and  the  trade  with 
Canada  and  other  foreign  countries  is 
no  small  item.  The  company  has  Ixvn 
burned  out  three  times  partially  an<! 
once  wholly  :  but  the  pluck  and  push 
that  always  characterized  the  corpora- 
tion was  not  disheartened  by  these  ca- 
lamities.

servative, and  changes  in  help  are  rare 
occurrences.  The  employes  respect 
their  employers;  for  they  are  well 
treated  and  do  faithful  work ;  and  no 
company  in  the  city  stands  higher  in 
the  estimation  of  the  public,  the  em- 
ployes and  the  trade  than  Foster,  Mer- 
riam  &  Co. 


THE  MERIDEN  i  IRE  ARMS  CO. 


The  Meriden  Fire  Arms  Co.  bids 
fair  to  become  Mcriden's  largest  man- 
ufacturing concern.  Its  owners, 
Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  of  Chicago, 
noted  for  their  splendid  achievements, 
liberal  business  enterprise  and  world- 
wide trade,  are  bending  their  energies 
toward  tliat  goal. 

In  January  of  1905,  the  nucleus  of 
the  present  company  moved  to  this 
cii\  from  Hopkinton.  Mass.,  reorgan- 
izing under  the  name  of  The  Meriden 
I-""ire  Arms  Co..  in  the  old  Malleable 
iron  Compans  s  plant  in  the  northern 
part  of  the  city. 

The  advenl  ot  the  new  company  wa.s 
a  happy  day  for  Meriden.  The  Mallea- 
jilc  In  in  Works  had  been  closed  for 
several  years  and  tin-  b^illlin^5^s  were 
fast  falliiiLT  into  decay.  Houses  were 
either  vacant  in  the  neighborhood  of 
the  works,  or  were  renting  for  but  a 
poor  return  on  the  money  invested. 
Jn  the  brief  space  of  a  year  and  a  half 
this  has  all  been  changed.  The  fac- 
tory buildings  were  overhauled  at 
large  expense  with  a  view  to  house  in 
them  hundreds  of  busy  men  and  a 


thousand  flying  wheels  for  the  manu- 
facture of  guns  and  revolvers  of  diV' 
ers  patterns.  It  is  very  diflicutt  to  get 
a  rent  in  North  Meriden  to-day  and  it 
is  said  that  the  price  of  real  estate 
and  the  value  of  rents  have  increased 
twenty  per  cent. 

The  formation  of  the  Meriden  Fire 
Arms  Co.  was  made  possible  by  the 
immense  business  in  guns  and  pistols 
and  the  vast  capital  of  Sears,  Roe- 
buck &  Co.  For  years  past  the  con- 
cern has  found  it  difficult  to  get  the 
quantity  or  character  of  fire  arms  de- 
manded by  a  constantly  growing  and 
exacting  trade.  The  location  of  the 
works  in  Meriden  is  maitdy  due  to  its 
vice-president  and  general  manager, 
A.  J.  Aubrey,  an  old  Meriden  boy, 
who,  though  man\  years  away  from 
Meriden,  had  neither  forgotten  the 
l)u.siness  a(h'aiU.'i_ues  of  nor  the  love 
which  lie  had  for  the  old  town. 

Mr.  .Sears,  president  of  tin-  Chica- 
go firm,  and  Mr.  .A.ubrey  came  to  Mer- 
iden to  look  the  ground  over.  It  had 
been  decided  that  H<»pkinton  was  too 
far  removed  fn>ni  the  gun  making 
centers  to  be  advantageous  in  building 
up  an  extensive  gun  factory.  With 
large  gim  concerns  in  Hartford,  New 
iiavcn,  Springfield  and  Norwich,  any 
one  of  a  number  of  towns  hereabout 
would  make  it  easy  to  ^et  in  touch 
with  L;Mn  sentiment  and  gun  workers, 
so  essential  to  the  smooth  working  of 
a  large  gun  enterprise.  It  was  by  no 
means  settled  that  Meriden  was  to  be 
selected  as  the  site  for  the  new  works. 
Plants  in  Middletown  and  other  places 
were  available.

HIANUFACTORIES. 


The  condition  of  the  factory  build* 
ings  in  the  old  Malleable  Iron  works 
was  so  bad  that  an  immediate  hitch  in 
negotiations  for  its  purchase  was  oc- 
casioned.  The  owners  receded  some 
from  their  original  asking,  but  thirty 
thousand  dollars  with  the  necessary 
large  expenditures  for  repairs  to  re- 
habilitate the  old  buildings  was  still 
considered  by  Messrs.  Sears  and  Au- 
brey as  far  above  a  taking  figure.  For 
a  time  it  seemed  unlikely  that  the  new 
company  would  locate  in  Meriden. 
Good  sites  had  been  found  in  New  Ha- 
ven and  Mid(lKt..\vn  with  a  likelihood 
of  their  selection  far  above  that  of 
the  Meriden  location. 

At  this  juncture  Mr.  Aubrey,  anx- 
ious to  bring  the  bijj  works  to  Meri- 
den if  it  were  possible,  returned  to  this 
city,  determined  to  make  another  try 
for  the  North  Meriden  plant.  The 
owners  would  not  budge  from  their  re- 
duced asking  price.  It  then  became  a 
question  if  the  people  of  Meriden 
wouhl  permit  another  city  to  get  a 
concern  that  would  bring  several  hun- 
dred 1  thousand  dollars  in  annual  wages 
to  tradespeople  and  householders  and 
a  v.T^t  ])restige  to  the  city  as  a  nianu- 
facturmLj;^  center.  Several  leading 
business  men  of  the  city  were  asked 
by  Mr.  Aubrey  if  the  town  would  aid 
the  company  to  secure  the  i)laiit. 

A  hasty  meeting  of  the  local  board 
(.f  trade  was  called.  Mr.  Aul)rey 
lalkctl  the  matter  over  with  it.  ex])lain- 
ing"  the  ])osition  of  Sears.  Roebuck  & 
(  <  ».  in  the  premises,  their  expectations 
as  to  onti»ut  of  guns  and  ultimate  ex- 
tension of  the  works  till  they  should 


be  the  largest  and  most  distinctive  in 
the  United  States.  Mr.  Aubrey's 
earnestness  and  tact  caught  the  board. 
His  proposition  was  not  to  be  passed 
by  as  was  indicated  by  an  immediate 
subscription  of  more  than  half  the 
amount  needed  to  bring  the  Sears, 
Roebuck  &  Co.  offer  up  to  that  de- 
manded by  the  owners  of  the  desired 
property.  The  remainder  of  ten 
thousand  dollars  asked  of  the  board 
of  trade  was  subscribed  the  day  after 
the  memorable  meeting  with  the  re- 
sult that  the  Malleable  Iron  woiks 
were  turned  over  to  the  new  owners 
to  become  again  the  scene  of  great  ac- 
tivity but  in  a  new  business. 

The  owners  of  the  concern  met  in 
IMeriden  to  rechristen  their  new  works. 
Naturally  the  name  became  the  Meri- 
den Fire  Amis  Co.  The  Chicago  peo- 
ple were  as  well  pleased  over  the  turn 
in  affairs  as  were  the  citizens  of  Mer- 
iden. With  keen  outlook  they  sised 
up  the  many  advantages  of  their  new 
location.  Dig  as  the  plant  was,  it  was 
but  the  l>eginning  of  a  cfrcat  gun  con- 
cern. Actin.c:  on  that  thought,  tlie 
abutting  vacant  property,  running 
nearly  two  thousand  feet  along  the 
railroad,  was  purchased,  some  day  to 
1)0  covered  by  the  company's  factory 
buildijigs. 

On  the  loth  of  January,  1905.  the 
"trek"  of  the  works  from  Hopkinton 
to  Meriden  began.  Just  twenty  days 
later  the  old  wlii>tle  over  the  power 
house  broke  the  silence  of  years  with 
its  call  to  work  :  steam  and  smoke  cir- 
cled again  over  the  buildings  and  the 
wheels  in  the  long  unused  shops  be-

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


gaii  to  turn  for  a  long  career  of  use- 
fulness and  profit,  let  us  hope. 

It  is  well  to  record  the  foregoing 
bit  of  history,  parts  of  which  wc  be- 
lieve to  be  jirophetic  of  a  future  of 
largf  tiiicrprise. 

Tlie  -Meriflen  Fire  Arms  i O.  is  op- 
erated under  a  charter  obtaiiud  in  the 
state  of  Illinois  wliicli  ciuiilcs  it  \o 
capilali/c  at  oiu-  hundrrd  and  sc\cnty- 
fivc  thousand  il(jnar>.  The  stock  is 
held  by  Sears.  Rtx^lnu  k  &  Co..  the  only 
partners  being  A.  J.  Aubrey,  the  i^eu- 
eral  manager  and  F.  A.  Stephani,  the 
treasurer  of  the  local  concern. 

Its  way  of  doing  business  has  led 
the  company  to  equip  the  foctory  with 
every  labor-saving  device  known  to 
the  trade.  No  machineiy  has  been  be- 
yond the  reach  of  the  concern.  The 
factory  buildings  are  filled  with  mod- 
em machines  that,  like  magic»  trans- 
form the  rough  drop  forgings,  made 
of  the  best  quality  of  steel,  into  a  part- 
ly  completed  product,  as  smoothly  and 
apparently  as  easily  as  the  modeler 
shapes  his  wax. 

A  large  element  in  the  cost  of  run- 
ning a  plant  on  sucli  lines  is  that  for 
machinery,  gcxxl  at  the  time,  but  later 
superseded,  which  goes  to  the  junk 
man,  having  outlived  the  day  of  its 

U'-efuln(*S«. 

Mr.  Aubrey  has  been  connected  with 
the  company,  either  as  a  member  of 
the  i)resent  company  or  as  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  Hopkinton  concern,  n  year 
ami  a  halt'.  In  that  short  periixi  he  has 
been  fortunate  in  securing  the  Meri- 
den  location  with  all  of  its  promises 
for  the  future,  at  the  same  time  the 


output  of  the  works  has  been  nearly 
doubled.  In  the  short  space  of  a  }ear 
new  iTuns  have  been  invented  bv  him 
and  are  now  on  the  market. 

The  .\.  J.  Aubrey  sintrle  barrel, 
hammer  shot  gun  is  beint;  tamed  out 
at  the  rate  of  over  two  hundred  guns 
a  day.  The  A.  J.  Atibrey  double  gun 
IS  now  on  the  markt  t.  sui>er-e':ing  the 
old  I'ryberg  guti  nia«lc  al  liMpk.nton. 
This  new  sjxnting  fire  ami  is  equal  to 
any  made  in  iliis  ci>>untry  or  England, 
ll  is  a  handsome  .specimen  ui  the  !.:un- 
makers*  art.  The  lines  are  beautiful 
in  proportion  and  drop.  In  that  re- 
gard it  is  perhaps  the  highest  dcvd- 
opment  attained  in  sporting  guns. 
The  mechanism  of  this  gun  is  simple, 
strong  and  perfect,  insuring  an  easy 
working  and  reliable  arm.  It  is  of  the 
popular  hammerless  kind  and  is  made 
with  or  without  the  automatic  shdl 
ejecting  device. 

Anotheir  gun  bearing  Mr.  Aubrey*s 
name  nearly  ready  for  the  maricct  is 
the  single  hammerless.  Tlus  gun  is 
said  to  be  without  an  equal  amoog  its 
kind.  Like  the  double  hammerless  it 
is  fine  in  its  lines  and  simple  and 
strong  in  its  construction.  It  has  sev- 
eral new  features  that  will  commend 
it  to  that  class  of  sportsman  who 
want  a  light  gun  of  the  single  harrd 
kind  which  at  the  same  time  is  high 
grade. 

In  additit:>n  ti)  the  tiini?  menttf^'nc-' 
above  as  br<""^ht  out  in  tlie  year  past 
may  be  meniiuned  the  sniaii  Atlas 
.sporting  rifle.  This  ritle  takes  its 
place  with  a  number  of  similar  guns 
popular  with  young  sportsmen.

pistols  a  day.

tlie  city  that  its  lull  anibiliuns  shall  be

.Mhert  James  Aubrey,  vice  presi- 
<lem  and  m'lK-ral  nianaj.ier  of  the  Mer- 
iden Kire  .\rnis  Co.,  was  born  in  Hart- 
ford, Conn.,  February  23,  1863.  His 
parents,  John  and  Mary  Aubrey,  re- 
moved to  Meriden  when  he  was  three 
years  of  age.  Here  he  grew  to  man- 
hood, living  in  Meriden  continuously 
until  he  was  twenty-one  years  of  age. 
His  early  education  was  obtained  in 
the  public  schools,  the  first  school  he 
attended  being  the  East  district,  locat- 
ed on  the  Middletown  road,  near  the 
Parker  spoon  factory.  When  Mr. 
Aubrey  was  eight  years  old  his  pa- 
rents purchased  the  old  Yale  farm  sit- 
uatetl  on  East  Main  street.  He  then 
attended  the  Center  school  on  Parker 
avenue.  After  graduating  from  this 
sc1kx)1  he  entered  tlie  employ  of  the 
Parker  Gun  Co.  and  lias  been  identi- 
fied with  the  giui  business  u])  to  the

per  goods.  As  far  back  as  the  Cen-

worlds  fair  exhibits  of  its  goods, 
which  incliuled  their  first  enameled  tea 
and  coflee  |)(>ts  with  white  metal 
mountings.  1  he  company  secured 
medals  for  tlicsc  goods  at  the  Centen- 
nial ]''xposilion  in  Philadcljjhia  and 
were  also  awarder!  prizes  at  other  sim- 
ilar rxhibits.  Tin-  company's  enameled 
wares  with  patenkvl  nictai  mountings 
rapiilly  gained  |M*pularity. 

In  1898  George  E.  Savage,  wlio  had

The  chafing  dishes  of  this  company 
have  become  famous,  especially 
those  with  the  patented  '* Ivory  Enam-

to  any  chaAng  dish,  making  a  clean, 
attractive  and  desirable  article.  The

in  beauty  and  durability  by  the  output 
of  any  similar  establishment.  Repeated 
enlargements  of  the  factory  have  been 
made  and  new  machinery  has  been 
purchased  to  keep  pace  with  the  con*

Savage  possessed  1,207  acres  of  land 
bordering  on  the  Connecticut  river 
and  that  his  name  is  seventh  on  the 
list  of  the  members  who  organized  the 
First  Congregational  church  of  that 
town.  The  family  name  has  ever 
since  been  a  common  one  in  this  sec- 
tion  of  the  state.  He  is  a  great  grand- 
son of  Seth  Savage,  who  was  corporal 
in  the  Revolutionary  War. 

George  E.  Savage  began  his  busi- 
ness life  at  the  age  of  seventeen,  for 
it  was  upon  the  advice  of  his  uncle, 
the  late  Horace  C.  Wilcox,  that  he 
left  his  father's  farm  in  Berlin  before 
he  had  fully  completed  his  education 
at  Wesleyan  Academy,  Wilbraham, 
Mass.,  and  associated  himself  with  the 
Meridcn  Britannia  Company.  There 
by  close  application  and  keen  observn- 
titon,  he  obtained  a  thorough  knowl- 
edge of  the  silver  ware  business  and 
s^oon  after  was  given  the  manaircment 
of  the  Meriden  salesrooms  of  that  com- 
pany, which  position  he  occupied  for

J.  D.  BERGEN  CO. 


Prominent  aniong  the  industries 
which  have  made  Meriden  famous  in 
the  state  of  Connecticut  is  the  cut 
glass  manufacturing  establishment  of 
the  J.  D.  IJergen  Company,  formerly 
located  on  Miller  street.  This  factory 
Iiad  been  operated  to  its  fullest  capac- 
ity for  many  years,  and  its  product 
sold  throughout  the  entire  United 
States  and  in  many  foreign  countries. 
The  aim  of  the  J.  D.  Bergen  Co.  has 
been  to  produce  a  line  of  cut  glass 
which  shall  sell,  not  only  during  the 
holiday  seasons,  but  through  the  en- 
tire year.  This  has  been  accoMi- 
plishcd  by  keeping  always  in  mind  the 
popular  price  feature,  which  has  be-

come  so  intimately  associated  with 
the  Bergen  product  that  in  the  eyes 
of  the  trade  "Bergen  Cut  Glass"  and 
"Popular  Price"  is  to-day  synony- 
mous. 

The  present  factory  is  the  outgrowth 
of  a  venture  having  its  inception  in  a 
partnership  formed  by  James  D.  Ber- 
gen, the  founder  and  present  Presi- 
dent and  Treasurer  of  the  J.  D.  Ber- 
gen Co.,  early  in  1880  under  the 
style  of  Bergen  &  Niland.  The  prin- 
cipal business  of  the  young  firm  at 
that  time  was  the  production  of  the 
caster  Iwttles,  then  so  much  in  vogue. 
A  working  arrangement  with  the 
Meriden  Britannia  Co.  helped  matters 
along  with  the  new  firm,  and  the  bus- 
iness was  successfully  conducted  for  a 
period  of  about  five  years.  J.  1). 
Bergen,  at  the  end  of  that  period, 
seeing  greater  opportunities  before 
him,  purchased  out  the  interests  of 
his  partner,  and  early  in  1892  made 
a  stock  company  of  the  business, 
forming  the  J.  D.  Bergen  Company, 
with  a  capital  stock  of  $40,000,  sub- 
seiiuently  increased  to  $60,000.  It  is 
of  interest  to  note  that  the  first  board 
of  directors  included  such  men  as 
Clarence  P.  I'.radley.C.  Berry  Peets,  E. 
J.  Doolittle  and  C.  E.  Stockder,  Jr. 
To-day,  thirteen  years  later,  Messrs. 
Bradley.  Doolittle,  Peets  and  Stock- 
der are  still  actively  interested  in  the 
concern,  and  supplementing  their  ef- 
forts is  N.  L.  Bradley,  of  the  Bradley

also  in  the  directorate.

maintains  traveling  representatives  in

foreign  representatives  who  take  in

There  is  also  a  resident  agent  in  the

The  product  of  the  J.  D.  Bergen 
Comi)any.  while  well  known  for  many 
years,  is  constantly  increasing  in  fa- 
vor among  discriminating  purchasers. 
This  is  perhaps  due  to  the  fact  that 
its  product  is  the  legitimate  expres- 
sion of  a  manager  and  subordinates 
who  have  practically  Ix'cn  bred  and 
born  in  the  cut  glass  business.  With 
this  in  mind,  it  cannot  be  any  sur- 
prise to  the  reader  to  learn  that  the 
factory  was  usually  oversold  early  in 
the  fall,  and,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  the 
Bergen  Company  has  been  unable  to 
fill  all  its  orders  during  the  last  few 
months  of  the  year  for  at  least  half  a 
dozen  years  past.  This  fact,  and  the 
opportunity  offered  to  purchase  the 
large  five-story  brick  plant  at  Center 


and  Britannia  streets,  a  few  months 
ago,  has  resulted  in  the  acquirement 
by  the  Bergen  CoiTipany  of  the  largtr 
plant,  an  excellent  view  of  which 
appears  on  the  opposite  page.  The 
new  location,  where  much  greater 
facilities  are  enjoyed.  was  first 
occupied  in  March,  1906.  The 
plant  now  occupied  is  one  formerly 
used  by  one  of  the  local  indus- 
tries and  is  admirably  situated  for 
the  large  business

should  be.  and  holds  high  rank  in  the

A  CENTURY  OF  MERIDEN. 


THE  M.  B.  SCHENCK  CO. 


The  inception  of  the  M.  1*.  Schenck 
Co.  was  in  1881  when  the  present 
president  of  the  company  began  the 
manufacture  of  a  line  of  double  \\!jeel 


The  fifteen  years  intervening  b<j- 
tween  the  close  of  the  war  and  the 
above  date  were  devoted  by  Mr. 
Schenck  to  the  hardware  trade  in  Ful-

iness,  it  was  limited  by  existing  con- 
ditions, and  could  not  be  enlarged  to 
cover  the  broader  fieUl  to  which  his 
laudable  ambition  aspired. 

With  his  invention  as  a  nucleus,  he 
sold  out  his  business  and  came  to  New 
Haven  in  1882,  to  learn  the  new  and 
untried  life  of  a  manufacturer. 

At  the  end  of  a  five  years'  struggle, 


1891,  in  coiupany  with  his  son,  \V.  A. 
Schenck,  they  bought  the  Beecher 
.Mfg.  Co.  plant  which  has  since  been 
brought  to  a  high  state  of  perfection. 

The  plant  extends  600  feet  along  the 
main  line  of  the  N.  Y.,  N.  H.  &  H. 
R.  R.,  which  afifords  excellent  advan- 
tages for  a  manufacturing  business. 

In  1897,  it  was  incorporated  with

capital,  patent  lawsuits  and  discourage-

as  the  tide  was  turning  in  his  favor,  a 
destructive  fire  swept  away  a  very  im-

Mr.  Schenck's  inventive  talent,  are 
now  made  and  the  business  has  grown

was  brought  up  on  his  father's  farm, 
educated    in    the    common  schools 


the  rebellion,  and  from  1865  to  18S1 
was  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuit*. 
He  came  to  New  Haven.  Conn.,  m

was  burned  out  and  he  came  to  Mcri-

He  was  an  active  "Wide  Awake" 
in  the  campaign  of  i860,  cast  his  first 
presidential  vote  that  year  for  Lincoln 
and  again  four  yenrs  later,  sending  his 
ballot  home  from  the  army  in  an  en- 
velope. 

His  experiences  the  last  fifty  year?? 
have  been  exceedingly  varied,  inter- 
esting and  instructive.  He  is  a  lover 
of  choice  literature  and  has  traveled 
extensively  in  his  own  country  and 
abroad. 

His  pleasant  home  <>n  I'.road  street, 
surrounded  by  \vcll-koj>t  gmunds, 
is  one  of  the  most  desirable  locations 
in  the  city.  It  stands  at  an  elevation 
of  1 35  feet  above  the  business  portion 
of  the  city,  away  from  the  throb  and 
whir  of  its  many  great  industries  and 
commands  a  view  of  city»  park  and 
mountain  range  rarely  ecpiated  in  the 
many  beautiful,  busy  cities  of  ConneC' 
ticut. 

Mr.  Schenck  is,  on  his  father's  side, 
of  pure  old  New  York  Knickerbocker 
Dutch  blood,  and  belongs  to  the  ninth 
generation  in  this  country. 

His  first  ancestor  of  his  name  in  this 
countr)*  was  Roelof  Martense  Schenck 
who  came  from  Holland  in  1650,  and 
married,  in  1660,  Neeltje  Gerretse  van 
Couwenhoven  (now  called  Conovcr) 
whose  grandfather  came  from  Holland 
in  1630*  They  all  settled  in  New  Am- 
sterdam, later  in  Flatlands,  now  Brook- 
lyn, and  were  prominent  among  the 
Hollanders  in  New  York  under  the  old 
Oulch  regime. 

His  mother's  first  American  an- 
cestor, Newman  Perkins,  came  from 
Kngland  with  Roger  Williams,  and 


finally  settled  with  bun  in  Rhode  Island. 
He  is  of  the  sixth  generation  in 
this  country  in  this  line.  Descendants 
from  these  families  inheriting  the 
sturdy  qualities  of  tiieir  ancestors, 
have  been  prominent  in  business,  social 
and  |>olitica!  circles  all  along  the  line 
trum  the  earliest  times.  Through  all 
the  great  wars  from  the  revolution 
down  to  the  present  time,  each  gener- 
ation has  filled  its  fidl  quota,  always 
regarding  loyally  to  high  civic  princi- 
ples as  the  i)araniounl  duty  of  the 
American  citizen. 


MEklDEX  GAS  LIGHT  CO. 


Meriden  has  been  well  provided 
with  gas  by  the  above  public  service 
corporatkm  since  1863,  when  the  com^ 
pany  received  its  charter  from  the 
Connecticut  Legislature.  The  busi- 
ness has  always  been  conducted  by 
Meriden  men  and  local  capital,  and 
during  itr  entire  history  the  company 
has  furnished  pure  coal  gas. 

The  first  plant  occupied  was  that 
which  stood  on  the  site  of  the  pres- 
ent plant  of  the  Meriden  Electric 
Light  Company  on  South  Colony 
street,  The  original  gas  works  suf- 
ficed for  the  needs  of  the  town  for 
some  years.  The  company  began  bus- 
iness with  a  capital  stock  of  $35i000, 
but  this  has  been  since  gradually  in* 
creased  to  $350,000. 

The  first  cost  of  gas  to  the  people 
of  Meriden  was  $4.65  a  thousand  feet. 
As  a  result  of  that  necessarily  high 
price,  gas  was  then  principally  used  for 
illuminating  purposes  and  largely  by

people  of  means.   Happily  for  the 
housekeeper  of  the  present  day  the 
charge  per  thousand  feet  made  by  the 
company,  makes  gas  an  economical  as 
well  as  labor  and  time-savitic:  fuel. 
The  [passing-  of  time  only  has  made 
possible  a  gradual  reduction  in  the 
price  of  gas ;  so  that  it  has  finally  bc- 
conio  generally  and  even  liberally  used 
in   Mcriden.    By  1874  the  demands 
were  such  that  the  company,  after 
erecting  a  new  and  larger  plant  on 
Cooper  street,  abandoned  the  former 
location   fur  their  new  one.  From 
that  time  to  the  present,  and  more  es- 
pecially within  the  past  decade,  new 
buildings  have  been  erected  on  the 
f>roperty,  which  covers  several  acres; 
until  the  works  comprise,  in  1906,  one 
of  the  best  equipped  in  all  New  Eng- 
land.   Among  notable  improvements 
is  the  acquisition  of  a  giant  gas  hold- 
er.   Previous  to  the  construction  of 
this  gasometer  the  gas  holding  capac- 
ity  of  the  plant  was  hut  200,000  cuhic 
feet.    A  new  huilding  for  purifying 
gas  and  another  for  the  office  and  sta< 
tion  meters  have  also  been  added  with- 
in recent  years.   The  platjt  now  con- 
sists of  a  retort  house;  exhauster,  con- 
denser and  washer  building ;  purifying 
building;  a  holder  of  200,000  cubic 
feet  capacity;  and  a  steel  gasometer, 
100  feet  in  height,  capable  of  holding 
700,000  cubic  feet.   There  is  also  a 
governor  house  which  regulates  auto- 
matically the  pressure  in  the  gas 
mains;  and  coal  sheds  of  generous  ca- 
-  :  rity  adjoin  tlic  tracks  of  the  N. 
Y.,  N.  H.  &  H.  R.  R.   The  manufac- 
turing and  distributing  force  is  thir- 


ty-five men.  The  annual  output  is 
lOOjOOOjOOO  cubic  feet. 

During  the  past  eleven  years  the 
company  has  reduced  the  price  of  gas 
from  $1.80  to  ^^1.25  net  per  thousand 
feet  ;  these  reductions  having  been  en- 
tirely voluntary  on  the  part  of  the 
company,  have  been  appreciated  by  the 
public  and  resulted  in  the  freer  use  of 
gas,  there  being,  in  n>o^),  4,800  met- 
ers in  use.  Large  aiUlitions  to  the 
street  mains  have  recently  been  made 
and  there  are  now  forty-five  miles  of 
pipe  laid,  covering  practically  every 
street  and  avenue  in  the  city  limits, 
and,  to  a  certain  extent,  beyond. 

The  late  James  A.  Iladley  was  su- 
perintendent of  the  plant  from  the 
cumniencemcnt  of  business  by  the 
company  until  his  death  which  oc- 
curred in  October,  1895.  The  present 
superintendent  and  manager  has 
served  in.  that  dual  capacity  since  May, 
1896. 

The  officers  of  the  compan\  are: 
President,  Walter  Hubbard ;  secretary 
and  treasurer,  Samuel  Dodd;  mana- 
ger and  superintendent,  Charles  A. 
Learned.  The  above  officers  with 
Charles  F.  Linsley,  George  M.  Curtis,

MERIDEN  ELECTRIC  LIGHT  CO. 


While  electric  lighting  was  in  vogue 
'^oiuc  years  previous  to  1887,  *t  was 
in  that  year  that  the  above  company 
was  organized  by  charter  from  the 
state  legislature,  the  capital  stock  then 
being  $25,000.   The  station,  at  that

mos, thirty -seven  of  which  were  de- 
voted to  city  street  Hghting. 

The  enterprise  of  the  new  company 
soon  began  to  assert  itself ;  for  by  in- 
creasing the  capital  stock  to  $5o,cxx), 
a  new  power  station  was  erected  on 
i. 'South  Colony  street  on  the  land  where 
{  once  had  stood  the  buildings  of  the  gas 
I  company.  In  1902  the  electric  light 
i  station  was  thoroughly  remodeled  and 
made  practically  fireproof,  the  capital 
being  then  increased  to  $200,000.  All 
the  old  engines  were  removed  and 
compound  condensing  engines  of  1,100 
horse  power  substituted  which  are  di- 
rectly connected  with  the  dynamos. 
New  steam  boilers  of  750  horse  power 
have  also  been  installed  giving  the  sta- 
tion a  combined  machine  capacity  of 
750  K.  W.  I'or  some  years  the  com- 
pany has  furnished  a  twenty-four  hour 
service  for  both  light  and  power,  the 
rate  being  12  1-2  cents  per  K.  W.  for 
lightinpf:  and  for  power  from  10  cents 
to  5  cents  per  K.  W.,  according  to  the 
cjtTantity  used.  The  company  has  al- 
ways supplied  the  municipality  with 
street  light;  and  in  1*706  furnish  200 
arc  lights  for  that  purpose;  8,000  in- 
candescent lijjhts  of  sixteen  candle 
power  are  also  supphed  fmm  the  sta- 
tion and  considerable  power  for  man- 
ufacturing and  other  purposes.  With 
its  service  the  company  covers  the  city 
proper  most  effectively  and  the  same 


is  rarely  complained  of  but  com- 
pares favorably  with  that  of  any  j^ro- 
gressive  New  England  city.  Since  1887 
the  local  electric  light  company  has 
been  under  a  mana^a-menl  whose  offi- 
cers and  directors  have  been  the  same 
as  those  of  the  Meriden  Gas  Light 
Company;  yet  a  friendly  nvaliy  exists 
between  the  two  companies,  for  the 
business  is  Jcept  entirely  separate. 

James  A.  Hadley,  during  the  latter 
years  of  his  life,  was  the  superinten- 
dent; but  since  1896  Charles  A. 
Learned  has  held  the  office  of  genetat 
superintendent.  The  officers  and  di- 
rectors are  recorded  previously  in  the 
description  of  the  Meriden  Gas  Light 
Company. 


CURTISS-WAY  COMPANY. 


From  its  remarkable  growth  during 
the  past  six  years,  for  since  1899  only 
has  it  been  under  its  present  manage- 
ment, the  Curtiss-\\'a\  Company  has 
added  more  than  its  full  quota  to  the 
good  name  of  >feriden  as  a  manufac- 
turing center.  This  company,  whose 
now  extensive  plant,  covering  more 
than  one  acre  of  floor  space,  located 
on  Pratt  street,  was  materially  en-

out  complete  the  work  undertaken  by 
the  busy  concern. 

The  business  was  first  established 
about  1880  by  .\.  J.  Converse,  and 
after  having  been  conducted  by  him 
for  some  years,  was  acquired  by 
James  A.  Curtiss.  a  prominent  busi- 
ness man  and  wholesale  gn^er  of  this 
city,  who  formed  a  company  known  as 
the  Converse  Publishing  Company, 
which  was  managed  by  Mr.  Converse 
until  his  retirement  in  1899,  It  w:as 
in  that  year  that  the  present  company 
■was  organized,  the  principal  stock- 


holders being  James  A.  Curtiss  ami 
William  H.  Way.  the  former  who  ha«l 
become  extensively  conceme<l  tinan- 
cially,  and  the  latter  who  had  l>een  su- 
perintendent of  the  plant  since  i8«vi. 
and  whose  names  the  corporation  has 
since  lx)rne. 

At  that  time  but  thirty  liands  were 
employed  and  the  plant  was  a  tlimin- 
utive  affair  compared  to  that  of  the 
present  date,  which  comprises  one  of 
the  largest  and  best  of  its  kind  in  N'cw 
England  and  gives  employment  to 
over  100  hands.  The  assets  of  the 
company,  including  the  new  plant,  are 


w.  n.  WAV. 


in  excess  of  $100,000  and  the  capital 
stock  is  $50,000. 

The  company  has  its  own  separate 
power  house,  and  is  equipped  with  a  I 
forty  horse-power  Twiss  engine  and  a

suet}'   horse-power    Bigelow  steam 
boiler.  The  power  plant  is,  therefore, 
of  ample  capaciiy  for  the  machinery 
and  heating,  and  is  also  sufficient  for 
generating  electricity  for  lighting,  and 
the  company  will  soon  install  machin- 
ery for  the  latter  purpose.  With  the 
new  three  storv  brick  addition  to  the 
factory,  the  company  have  buildings 
90  feet  long  by  130  feet  deep,  all  of 
w}iich  have  been  purchased  by  them 
through  the  legitimate  profits  of  an 
honorably  conducted  business  during 
the  past  six  years.   This  success  has 
been  in  a  great  nit-asurc  due  to  the 
cxecuti\  c  ability  of  Mr.  Way,  who  by 
I  his  indomitable  energy  and  business 
acumen,  has  brought  the  business  to 
its  present  happy  state. 

The  Curtiss-Way  Company  employ 
eight  to  ten  traveling  men  and  have  a 
show  room  at  335  ilroadway,  New 
York  City,  and  another  on  Kast  Main 
street,  Waterbury,  Conn.    The  work 
emanating  from  this  complete  printint^ 
plant,  is  shipped  to  every  stale  cast  of 
the  Mississippi  river,  and  its  reputa- 
tion for  twentieth  century  work  and 
ability  to  compete  with  the  larsj^tst 
concerns  in  the  country  are  well  known 
to  tlie  trade.    Xot  only  has  the  Cur- 
t!ss-\\  ay  Company  a  reimtation  for 
i>c  inj4  a  most  successful  cunijjcliior  for 
lar.ero  contracts  in  the  printing  and  ad- 
vertising novelty  line  but  they  have  the 
name   of   completing   and  shipping 
their  orders  when  promised.    This  re- 
sponsibility rests  largely  upon  the  su- 
perintendent, F.  Ad.  Gehring.  who  as- 
sumed that  positicm  in  1902,  having 
previously  been  associated  with  a  large 


printing  concern  in  Holyoke,  Mass. 
Mr.  Gehring,  like  Mr.  Way,  is  a  thor- 
oughly ])ractical  printer  and  under- 
stands  not  only  the  handling  of  a  large 
force  of  employees  without  friction, 
but  has  the  faculty  for  making  all 
things  count  for  the  good  of  the  con- 
cenit  which  invariably  reverts  to  the 
benefit  of  the  customer. 

The  plant  is  kept  scrupulously  neat 
and  clean  at  all  times  and  a  higher 
class  of  hands  are  there  employed 
than  in  the  ordinary  printing  office. 
There  are  also  recognized  heads  of  all 
of  the  several  different  departments 
and  wasted  time  is  an  unknown  quan- 
tity at  this  plant.  The  cylinder  press 
room  contains  a  large  number  of  au- 
tomatic feed,  perfectini,'  and  cylinder 
and  job  presses  which  never  cease, 
only  at  the  blowing  of  the  whistle,  and 
oftentimes  different  departments  of 
the  plant  are  obliged  to  run  overtime. 
The  composing  room  comprises  an  un- 
usually lari;c,  well  ventilated  and  li,L,dU- 
ed  flepartmenl  and  the  nnmber  of  com- 
l)ositors  ali>ni'  there  empl<>\ed  would 
make  a  most  respectable  payroll  for 
a  commun  j>rintinji:  estahlisiinK-nt.  In 
addition  to  the  large  number  of  hand 
compositor.s.  tliev  have  a  monotype 
plant  which  makes  and  sets  its  own 
tvpe  and  is  used  largely  in  Ixiok  and 
c.iiaiog  contracts.  The  paper  ruling 
room  jx).ssesses  a  luunber  of  the 
llickox  .Automatic  Strike  Ruling  Ma- 
chines, which  the  Curtiss-W'ay  Com- 
pany find  especially  useful  in  their  or- 
ders of  railroad  and  express  company 
forms  and  blanks,  of  which  they  are 
extensive  manufacturers.

HELMSCHMIED  MFG.  CO. 


One  of  the  industries  of  Meriden, 
the  product  of  which  adds  fame  to 
the  town,  is  that  carried  on  by  the 
Helmschmied  Mfg.  Co.,  whose  fac- 
tory is  located  on  Reset  voir  avenue. 

C.  V.  Helmschmied,  the  founder  and 
president,  was  bom  October  30.  1863, 
in  Steinschoenua,  Bohemia,  where  a 
common  school  education  was  fol 
lowed  by  a  course  'at  the  Imperial 
Technical  school  of  his  native  town. 
His  marked  tendency  toward  artistic 
work  was  fostered  by  his  training 
and  was  a  vital  factor  in  its  develop- 
-nent  and  growth,  but  he  felt  that  the 
tield  was  too  confined  for  a  realiza- 

48 


tion  of  his  struggling  ideals.  There 
was  an  America  beyond  the  seas 
where  ambitions  were  nourished  and 
talent  recognized.  The  price  he  set 
on  his  own  ability  stimulated  him 
to  leave  Bohemia  and  seek  the  sea- 
coast  where  he  embarked  for  the 
United  States. 

Mr.  Helmschmied  was  employed  in 
several  cities  before  coming  to  Mcri- 
den. Directly  after  landing  in  Xew 
V'ork  he  went  to  New  Bedford.  Mass., 
where  he  became  a  designer  for  Smith 
Bros.,  manufacturers  of  decorated 
opal  ware  ;  at  the  end  of  two  \  ears 
he  went  to  Trenton.  X.  J.,  and 
worketl  for  Jesse  Dean  at  china 
painting;  two  more  years  were  spent 
in  New  Bedford  with  the  Mount 
Washington  Glass  Company  as  de- 
sigfner, 

Mr.  HelmschmTed*s  talents  as  a  dc« 
signer  were  recognized  when  he  en- 
tered the  employ  of  C.  F.  JSfonroe  in 
1886.  He  aimed  at  the  best  and  con- 
stantly strove  to  live  up  to  that  aim. 
When  the  C.  F.  Monroe  Company 
became  incorporated  he  became  a 
stockholder  and  was  made  superin' 
tendent  of  the  plant  and  he  was  also 
the  leading  designer  there  for  six- 
teen years.  He  withdrew  from  Mon- 
roe's in  Januar>',  1903,  opened  his 
own  factory  and  began  to  manufac- 
ture for  himself.  The  corporation 
known  as  the  Helmschmied  ^^fg.  Co., 
of  which  he  is  president  and  treasur- 
er, was  incon)orated  in  the  fall  of 

1904.  the  capital  stock  of  which  was

A  maiuifacturing  plant  that  for 
many  years  has  added  to  the  volume 
of  Itxral  business  is  that  of  the  Meri- 
den branch  of  the  Connecticut  Brew- 
eries Company  and  which  was  for 
some  years,  and  until  i8(/D.  conducted 
by  the  .Meriden  Mrewing  Company. 
It  was  at  that  time  that  the  business 
of  the  .Meriden  lirewing  Company 
was  consolidated  with  that  of  A. 
Wintter  &  Co.,  who  conducted  a  sim- 
ilar plant  at  I'ridgeport  and  the  cor- 
poration was  forme<l.  known  as  the 
Connecticut  Ureweries  Compan\. 
The  company  was  organized  with 
many  of  its  employes  as  stockholders 
and  with  a  paid  in  ca|)ital  stock  of 
$700,000  which  amount  is  far  less 
than  the  present  value  of  its  two  large 
plants. 

Since  the  formation  of  the  present 
company  the  officers  have  changed 
somewhat  owing  to  tleaths  which 
have  occurred.  The  president.  Peter 
W.  W  ren,  of  liridgeport,  has  jiresid- 
ed  over  the  deliberations  of  the  board 
of  directors,  however,  from  the  be- 
ginning to  the  present  time  and  un-

and  naturally  supplies  a  large  portion 
of  the  lager  beer  and  ale  consumed 
within  a  radius  of  several  miles  of

does  a  large  bottling  business  and  its 
goods  in  this  department  are  not  only 
shipped  largely  to  New  York,  New 
Jersey  and  the  national  capitol  but 
have  also  become  known  and  popular 
with  the  trade  in  nearly  every  state

of  foreign  beverages,  is  exported  to 
South  .\mcrica,  Cuba  and  the  Bahama

The  company  employs  about  sixty 
workmen  at  its  Meriden  plant  and 
with  its  large  pay  roll  adds  many 
thousands  to  the  amount  distributed 
annually  to  the  well  paid  employes 
of  Meriden  manufacturing  plants. 


FRITZ  BROTHERS. 


Fritz  Brothers,  composed  of  E.  T. 
and  W.  F.  Fritz,  are  the  successors 
to  the  dog  collar  manufacturing  busi- 
ness formerly  carried  on  by  the  Con- 
necticut Saddlery  &  Bell  Company, 
of  whose  factory  they  occu|)y  a  por- 
tion and  whose  reputation  they  have 
added  to  in  marked  degree.  They 
purchased  the  business  in  May,  1903, 
and  have  every  facility  for  tuming  out 
their  goods  in  large  quantities.  The 


members  of  the  firm,  who  are  both 
natives  of  Meriden,  were  no  strangers 
to  the  business  when  they  took  pos-

They  have  a  branch  office  in  Chica-

three  traveling  salesmen.  The  manu- 
facture of  their  goods  gives  the  Fritz

much  judgment  and  good  taste  and 
their  success  is  attested  by  the  demand 
for  their  output.  While  both  are 
practical  manufacturers  of  dog  collars

Fritz,  as  a  rule,  devotes  his  time  to 
the  factory  and  W.  F.  Fritz  to  call- 


ing upon  the  trade.  The  industry  car- 
ried on  by  them  furnishes  employ- 
ment to  several  hands  during  the  busy 
season  and  the  goods  made  add  no 
little  to  the  reputation  of  Meriden  as 
a  manufacturing  town.

A   CENTURY   OF  MERIDEN. 


A.    H.  JONES. 


Augustus  Howard  Jones,  manufac- 
turer of  Meriden,  is  the  son  of  Joseph 
and  Martha  (Jackson)  Jones,  both 
natives  of  Wales.  He  was  born  in 
New  York  City,  December  21,  185 1. 
His  father  died  when  he  was  nine

years  of  age  and  at  twelve  he  began 
to  earn  his  livelihood,  after  which  he 
attended  the  night  school  until  the 
age  of  fifteen,  when  he  returned  to 
day  school  for  a  year  and  finished  his 
education. 

In  1866  he  began  his  apprentice- 
ship in  a  brass  foundry  where  he 


served  four  years  and  a  half  learning 
his  trade.  He  became  an  expert  core- 
maker  and  a  contractor  in  the  manu- 
facture of  locks.  In  1867  he  came  to 
Meriden  where  he  has  since  remained 
After  serving  two  years  as  foreman 
in  the  brass  foundry  at  the  Bradley  & 
Hubbard  factory,  he  started  a  brass 
foundry  of  his  own  which,  however, 
he  gave  up  in  two  weeks  and  returned 
as  foreman  for  the  B.  &  H.  Mfg.  Co., 
who  had  made  it  an  object  for  him 
to  do  so. 

In  1882,  he  was  one  of  the  organ- 
izers of  the  Foster  Hardware  Co.. 
which  in  1885  was  reorganized  under 
the  name  of  the  Meriden  Bronze  Co., 
and  of  which  large  concern,  Mr.  Jones 
became  president  in  1891.  That  con- 
cern for  many  years  furnished  em- 
ployment to  a  large  number  of  hands 
and  added  materially  to  the  business 
prosperity  of  the  tow  n.  Financial  de- 
pression forced  the  Bronze  Company 
out  of  business  and  Mr.  Jones*  per- 
sonal loss  was  $100,000. 

With  characteristic  courage  and 
grit,  in  1901,  he  organized  the  com- 
pany and  started  the  factory  since  lo- 
cated or.  Miller  street,  which  now 
bears  his  name  and  where  he  has  since, 
from  a  small  beginning,  been  engaged 
in  the  manufacture  of  white  metal 
novelties. 

Mr.  Jones  is  a  thirty-second  degree 
Mason,  has  served  in  the  city  govern- 
ment four  years  as  councilman  and 
two  years  as  aldemian.  is  a  member 
of  the  Home  Club  and  of  genial  and 
companionable  nature.  He  was  mar- 
ried in   1870  to  Jennie  E.  Logan,

daughter  of  Thomas  and  Marguerite

BAILEY'S    STEAM  LAl'NDRY. 


Xumerically,  this  was  the  tenth 
laundry  established  in  Meriden,  and 
was  the  first  to  be  continued  success- 
fully ;  and  at  this  writing  it  is  the  larg- 


THEODORE  F.  UAlLtY. 


est  and  finest  equii)|)ed  establishment 
of  the  kind  in  the  city. 

The  nucleus  of  the  present  busi- 
ness was  formed  by  Theodore  F,  Bai- 
ley, an  old  and  res{)ected  resident  of 
Meriden,  and  his  first  operations  were 
small.  In  1895  his  daughter.  Mrs. 
Hattie  L.  Aubrey,  became  the  head, 
and  since  that  time  the  growth  of  the 


business  has  been  somewhat  remark- 
able. In  May,  1896,  the  present 
laundry  building  in  the  rear  of  Mr. 
Bailev's  residence  on  Crown  street, 
was  erected,  and  the  introduction  of 
machinery  transformed  the  industry 
from  a  hand  to  a  steam  laundry. 
Since  that  time  machinery  for  steam 
carpet  cleaning  has  also  been  put  in, 
and  a  large  business  in  that  line  is 
now  carried  on.  In  1905  a  large  barn 
was  erected  and  added  to  the  plant, 
the  upper  portion  of  which  now  con- 
tains the  carpet  cleaning  machinery, 
and  this  work  is.  therefore,  now  car- 
ried on  in  a  separate  building.  The 
power  used  comes  from  the  laundry's 
own  boiler  house,  which  in  1905  was 
installed  with  a  new  $1,000  boiler. 
Another  advantage  the  laundry  enjoys 
is  an  artesian  well,  sunk  on  the  prem- 
ises, which  supplies  an  abundance  of 
water  for  all  purposes  outside  the  en- 
gine room.  Both  floors  of  the  main 
building,  which  is  60  by  40  feet,  are 
now  used  for  the  purposes  of  the  laun- 
dry ;  the  sorting,  washing,  starching, 
mangling  and  delivering  being  done 
on  the  first  floor,  and  the  ironing,  since 
1905,  ion  the  second  floor. 

.Among  the  commendable  character- 
istics of  this  laundry  are  promptness 
in  the  delivery  of  work.  The  fact  that 
a  woman's  eye  supervises  the  work 
also  adds  to  the  reputation  of  the  laun- 
dry for  careful  work. 

Mrs.  Aubrey  has  proven  herself  a 
most  capable  manager  of  the  now  suc- 
cessful business,  and  is  assisted  by  her 
youngest  son,  William  R.  Aubrey,  and 
a  force  of  twenty-five  employes.

A  CENTURY  OF 


BEAVER  LAKE  ICE  CO. 


The  Beaver  Lake  Ice  Company, 
wholesale  and  retail  dealers  in  ice,  of 
Meriden,  came  under  its  present  man- 
agement  early  in  June,  1905.  when  the 
corporation  was  formed  with  the  capi- 
tal stock  of  $15,500. 

The  origin  of  the  business,  under 
its  present  name,  dates  back  to  1894, 
wheti  the  late  William  (larlick,  of 
South  Mcridrn.  withdrew  from  tlie 
Meridrn  ice  Company,  atttr  iiavinj^

Tiie  coiiniioi)  a>  now  organized,  was 
formed  throri^h  the  etforls  nf  ia-nj. 
I'.  Miliicr.  the  present  stH:rct:iiy  an«l 
ircaMiier.  a  native  of  Meriden.  who 
atteihUd  the  IcK-al  public  ^cluH*ls  and 
has  ever  been  a  ]>ri>ii!i>ter  of  local  in- 
terests. Through  his  iu^lrunicntality 
the  corporation  purchased  from  his 
csuu  the  business  so  Miccessfully  car- 
ried on  by  Mr.  (iarlick.  including 
the  ice  houses,  harvesting  privileges, 
horses,  wagons,  custom  and  good  will. 

Since  the  business  came  into  the 
present  hands  many  improvements 
have  been  made  to  the  equi]>ment  and 
new  office  headquarter.s,  stables  and 
central  ice  depot  have  been  estab- 
lished, all  of  which  are  located  at  100 
State  street,  where  there  arc  excellent 
railroad  facilities  and  ample  accomnK> 
dations  for  a  larger  business. 

Beaver  Lake,  the  principal  source 
of  supply  and  from  which  the  company 
derives  its  name,  is  one  of  the  many 
healthful  bodies  of  water  in  the  vi- 


cinity of  Meriden  entirely  fed  with 
springs  and  which  the  company  keep 
well  freed  from  v^etable  growtli.  .\s 
a  result  the  ice  harvested  in  their  large 

ice  houses,  of  10.000  tons  capacit\ .  is 
of  the  most  healthful  character.  Tlic 
full  ice  harvesting  capacity  of  the  lake 
is  much  greater  than  that  required  by 

the  company. 

W'liile  tile  quality  and  service  of 
the  lieavcr  Lake  Xce  Companv  have 
ever  been  commended  by  the  pev>pie 
of  Meriden.  whom  they  supply,  the 
new  cuinpany  has  ahv.iys  strived  to 
e.xcel  in  this  regard  the  good  name  es- 
tablished by  Mr.  Garlick,  and  this, 
with  atlded  capital  and  increased  force, 
they  have  been  enabled  to  do  in  iw 
small  measure. 

The  red  teams  01  the  ccuiipany  are

streets  and  avenues  of  th\s>  vicinity: 
and  eonrtesy.  good  weight  ami  hc^nest 
tr<.'atnient,  those  qualitications  which 
have  ever  characterizetl  the  bu^i^c^> 
of  the  concern  through  its  several 
changes  in  management,  are  ever  ap- 
parent. The  management  also  is  not 
only  progressivelnit  liberal  and  being 
familiar  with  the  needs  of  the  public 
from  previous  connection  with  the  ice 
business,  fully  realize  the  meeting  of 
competition.  The  officers  of  the  com-

and  Benjamin  F.-  Milner.  secretary 
and  treasurer  ;  the  former  being  also

One  of  the  successful  younp^  busi-

His  fatlur.  who  died  in  i8()<).  con- 
ducted the  monument  business  for 
some  twenty  years  in  the  same  loca- 
tion now  occu|)ie(l  by  his  son.  whose 
works  on  Hanover  street  now  cover 
about  one  acre  and  a  half  of  ground, 
and  there  some  of  the  finest  specimens 
of  art  arc  execr.ted. 


His  reputation  as  a  designer  and 
builder  of  monuments  has  been  earned 
solely  by  the  high  merits  of  his  work. 
His  business  establishment  gives 
steady  employment  to  well  paid  men 
and  the  sjKcimens  of  art  as  thus  ex- 
emplified by  him  are  highly  creditable 
to  the  town. 

\V.  J.  Luby  was  boni  on  Columbia 
street,  Meriden,  December  28,  1879. 
He  attended  the  public  schools  of  this 
town,  and  after  two  years  at  the  High 
school,  took  a  course  at  the  Pequtxl 
Business  College.  From  early  boy- 
hood he  was  constantly  associated  with 
his  father's  monument  works,  and  ai 
an  early  age  he  showed  a  gift  for 
drawing,  which  talent  has  been  a 
most  necessary  and  desirable  qualifi- 
cation in  his  business. 

After  his  father's  death  he  bought 
his  present  business  from  the  estate, 
and  that  he  has  increased  the  opera- 
tions of  the  works  quite  largely  is  a 
well  known  fact.  His  talent  for  de- 
signing beautiful  monuments  has  made 
his  name  somewhat  famous,  and  the 
specimens  of  art  modeled  at  his 
works,  more  frecjuently  are  shipped  to 
places  far  outside  of  .Meriden.  than 
those  which  adorn  local  cemeteries. 
It  was  Mr.  Luby  who  designed  the  fa- 
mous Clara  Barton  monument  that  ha<i 
attracted  such  favorable  attention  and 
also  the  Atwater  Memorial  monument 
at  Terry vi He.

He  stands  well  as  a  citizen  of  the 
town  which  this  year  celebrates  its 
centennial  and  is  deservedly  popular 
among  a  large  circle  of  actiuaintances. 
Since  starting'  itpoii  his  business  career 
he  has  done  his  iiunost  toward  the  up-

has  always  lived. 

CHARLES  E.  SCHUNACK. 


Charles  Kuu\  Scluinack,  a  progres- 
sive niami  factiirer  of  paper  boxes  and 
silverware  cases  in  Meriden,  also  a 
dealer  in  })iano  stools,  chairs,  benches, 
scarfs  and  nuisic  cabinets  in  New 
York  City,  was  born  in  Spremburg, 
(lennany,  November  15,  1859.  His 
father  was  Gustav  Schunack,  a  native 
of  the  same  locality  and  a  manufacture 
er  of  woolen  cloth,  who  married 
Louisa  Lange,  who  with  their  two 
children,  including  the  subject  of  this 
sketch  and  his  sister  Emmy,  emigrat- 
ed to  this  country  in  1873,  the  follow- 
ing year  removing  to  Mcriden  where 
his  father  died  in  1899. 

Charles  E.  Schunack  obtained  his 
education  in  Germany  and  upon  com- 
ing to  this  country,  at  the  age  of  four- 
teen, entered  the  mills  at  Webster 
where  the  family  first  located  before 
coming  to  Meriden  ;  but  in  1874  he  se- 
aired  employment  in  the  bronze  de- 
partment of  the  Meriden  Malhable 
Iron  Company  where  he  remained  five 
years  and  devoted  himself  industrious- 
Iv  and  conscientiously  to  the  interests 
of  his  employers.  In  1879  he  became 
a  contractor  in  the  bronze  de|)artment 
of  the  factory  of  Hart,  Bliven  & 

49 


Meade  at  Kensington,  but  after  five 

years  he  returned  to  Meriden  and  took 
charge  of  the  lamp  department  of  the 
Chas.  Parker  Co.,  where  he  continued 
for  many  years. 

He  l)egan  business  as  a  box  manu- 
faetnrer  in  1891.  locatitig  on  Randolph 
avenue,  in  a  structure  that  was  first  in- 
tended for  a  large  stable  but  which 
has  been  remodeled  and  added  to  and 
comprises  a  paper  box  factory  of  mod- 
ern pattern.  From  a  small  beginning 
his  business  has  increased  to  goodly 
pruporlions,  the  nntpnt  of  the  faciorv 
comprising  paper  and  Katlier  lioxcs 
of  any  desired  style  or  description  and 
fancy  cases  for  silverware.  Mr. 
Schunack  s  factory  is  equipped  with 
modern  machinery. 

In  1901  he  opened  a  large  sales- 
room at  115  and  117  East  14th  street, 
Xew  York,  where  he  sells  piano  stools, 
benches,  chairs,  scarfs  and  music  cab- 
inets manufactured  by  the  Chas.  'Par- 
ker Co.,  of  Meriden,  and  has  since  di- 
vided his  time  between  his  New  York 
and  Meriden  offices. 

Mr.  Schunack  is  ably  assisted  at  the 
factory  by  his  only  sister,  Emmy  Schu- 
nack, a  lady  of  much  business  ability 
and  thorough  understanding  of  the 
work.  Success  in  all  his  under- 
takings has  brought  Mr.  Schunack  in* 
to  prominence  t  in  the  manufacturing 
circles  of  the  town  where  he  is  known 
as  a  man  of  modern  ideas,  energy  and 
vigor.  His  ability  to  please  the  trade 
he  supplies  from  his  factory  has  been 
a  great  factor  in  his  success  in  Mer- 
iden :  while  his  natural  apitit'ide  as  a

THE  JEXXIXGS  &  (iklFFlX 
MFG.  CO. 


A  manufacturing  concern,  within  a 
quarter  of  a  century  grown  to  large 
proportions,  and  whose  product  has 
ever  added  distinction  to  this  locality, 
is  The  Jennings  &  Griffin  Mfg.  Co., 
with  factory  at  Tracy. The  plant  which 
now  covers  a  large  area  in  a  situation 
most  favorable  to  the  manufacture 
of  its  goods,  especially  within  the  past 
year,  has  been  noticeably  enlarged  and 
imi)rovcd. 

It  was  in  1880  that  Charles  F.  Jen- 
nings and  Francis  I*.  Griffin,  whose 
names  have  long  since  been  synonyms 
for  the  highest  grade  of  mechanics' 
tools,  in  a  modest  way  started  to  make 
for  themselves  a  reputation.  Their 
aim  was  to  excel  in  their  line  of  man- 
ufacture: and  having  a  full  under- 
standiug  of  the  wants  of  the  trade,  and 
the  way  to  supply  them,  they  could 
scarcely  fail  of  success.  They  filled 
their  orders  with  honest  goods ;  and 
having  always  continued  to  do  so,

|)rosi)crity  has  tKcn  tlicir  fit  reward. 
Gradually  the  factory  has  grown 
and  new  machinery  has  replaced  the 
old.  until  they  have  become  enabled  to 
produce  edge  t(X)ls  and  boring  imple- 
ments in  large  quantities,  used  by  me- 
chanics in  every  part  of  the  civilized 
world.  The  company  at  the  present 
day  owns  about  twenty  acres  of  land 
on  Ixith  sides  of  the  railroad  track, 
including  where  the  factory  is  situated 


enabling  the  company  to  supply  a 
greatly  increased  demand  for  edj;e 
tools.  The  first  building  erected  thi* 
year  is  32x48  feet,  and  the  last  addi- 
tion, comprising  a  practically  hre- 
prcx)f  building,  is  46.X88  feet  in  di- 
mensions. 

The  recent  additions  have  also  given 
the  company  the  opportiniity  to  make 
various  other  notable  improvements  to 
the  plant.    The  forge  fires  in  the  new

and  where  nine  dwelling  houses  have 
been  erected  by  them  for  their  em- 
ployes. While  the  factory  has  been 
gradually  cnlargtMl  from  the  begin- 
ning, the  addition  of  two  more  build- 
ings in  1906,  when  Meriden  celebrates 
its  ux^th  anniversary,  gives  the  plant 
a  frontage  of  200  feet  and  a  length, 
east  and  west,  of  400  feet.  'I'he  new

the  aid  of  the  Quinnipiac  river,  from

has  now  a  combined  motive  power  of

ufactures the  original  L'Hommedieu  &

well  known  to  the  hardware  and  ship-

and  conscientious  work.  This  it  may 
be  said  has  accrued  to  the  henefit  of 
the  corporation  which,  in  turn,  has 
grown  to  such  an  extent  that  it  has 
Ijecome  one  of  the  leading  trade  con-* 
cenis  of  the  town.  Never  since  its  or- 
ganization as  a  corporation  has  any  of 
its  stock  been  liehl  by  any  one  outside 
of  its  founders  and  those  otherwise 
employed  in  the  store,  and  all  of  the 
original  owners  and  stockholders  are

chased by  the  concern  in  January.  i<x>5- 


The  store,  within  recent  years  es-

extensive  scale  and  it  is  hard  indeed 
for  one.  either  a  wholesale  or 
retail  customer,  to  inquire  for  any- 
thing which  he  might  naturally  ex- 
pect to  be  finmd  in  the  store  but  what 
can  be  instantly  produced  by  the  en- 
ergetic and  painstaking  clerks.  At

tive  of  any  in  Meridcn.  The  j^reat 
display  of  china,  crockery  and  glass- 
ware which  comprises  a  separate  de- 
partment in  itself  is  much  visited  by 
the  buying  public. 

In  reference  to  the  success  of  this 
co-operative  concern,  it  may  be  said 
that  the  proverbial  fair  treatment  of 
all  patrons  has  been  a  strong  factor. 

The  individual  members  are  well 
known  citizens  of  Meriden  who  have 
for  many  years  been  reckoned  among 
those  who  have  had  its  interests  in 
view.  The  president,  X.  F.  Gris- 
wold,  is  one  of  the  oldest  business 
men  in  his  line  in  the  state  and  con- 
sequently one  of  the  most  favorably 
known.  The  personal  sketch  of  his 
extended  business  career  is  contained 
elsewhere  in  this  l>ook  and  gives  also 
the  different  changes  in  the  makeup 
of  the  concern  from  the  very  first. 
To  the  treasurer  of  the  company, 
Charles  C.  CI  lock,  upon  whom  a  large 
portion  of  the  management  now  rests, 
is  the  credit  due  for  the  devel»»pment 
of  the  manufacturing  strength  of 
the  concern  and  the  extension  of 
its  business  operations  to  points  far 
outside  of  Meriden.  Some  years 
since  he  was  succeeded  as  superinten- 
dent of  the  factory  by  his  son.  Charles

iness ability  and  a  thorough  master

mill  is  100  feet  wide  and  264  feet  long 
and  the  work  carried  on  is  of  a  high 
grade  and  even  artistic  character, 
which  necessitates  the  employment  of 
the  highest  skilled  workmen,  about 
twenty-five  of  whom  find  steady  em-

not  confined  to  this  city  alone  but  is 
shipped  to  all  sections  of  the  state  and

PHF  DEXTFR  L.  BISHOP  CO. 


The  Dexter  L.  liishop  Company,  a 
corporation  comprising  the  largest 
concern  in  Meridcn  engaged  in  the 
ice  business  and  also  dealing  in  native 
lumber,  was  organized  in  January, 
1898.  The  company  of  which  Dexter 
L.  Bishop  has  been  the  secretary, 
treasurer  and  general  manager  from 
its  formation,  is  the  outcome  of  the 
business  established  by  the  Foster 
Brothers,  for  whom  Foster  Lake  is 
named  and  also  includes  that  of  the 
Meriden  Ice  Co.  and  Dayton  &  Sher- 
man. In  1895  Dexter  L.  Bishop 
bought  an  interest  in  the  firm,  and  one 
year  later  bought  Ihe  interest  of  the 


remaining  partners.  Seeing  the  pt«?- 
sibilities  for  the  future,  he  wisely 
merged  the  business  into  an  incorpo- 
rated comi)any.  The  original  capital 
strKk  of  $3,000,  was  increased  in  1903 
to  $30,000. 

The  company  owns  extensive  ice 
houses,  and  controls  the  ice  harv'ested 
at  Foster  Lake.  The  Bradley  &  Hub- 
bard reservoir,  and  several  smaller

ponds  around  Meriden  with  the  com- 
bined harvesting  capacity  of  70.000 
tons.  The  ice  houses  at  Foster  Lake 
have  a  storage  capacity  of  8.500  tons, 
and  during  the  harvesting  season  six- 
ty-five men  are  employed  on  the  lake. 
The  ice  supplied  to  the  people  of  Mer- 
iden from  this  source  is  of  rare  purity, 
and  this  is  made  possible  only  bv  the 
purity  of  the  Foster  Lake  water  which

is  fed  largely  by  natural  springs. 
Cjrcat  care  is  taken  in  harvesting  the 
ice,  and  from  two  to  three  inches  are 
planed  off  the  surface  before  being 
housed.  The  analysis  of  the  ice  of 
this  company  has  also  been  made  by 
a  chemist  who  pronounces  it  of  ex- 
ceptional purity. 

The  wagons  of  the  company  are 
continuously  making  deliveries  in  all 
parts  of  Meriden.  and  during  the  sum- 
mer season  the  services  of  thirtv-five 


the  woods  where  the  lumber  is  se- 
cured. 

The  active  head  and  founder  of  the 
company,  De.xter  L.  Bishop,  is  one 
of  Meriden's  most  energetic  and  re- 
liable business  men.  He  is  a  son  of 
the  late  Walter  G.  Bishop,  and  was 
born  at  Orange.  Conn.,  August  8, 
1865.  He  spent  his  early  boyhood  on 
the  home  farm,  and  accpiired  a  rugged 
physique  which  he  still  retains.  When 
quite  young  his  parents  moved  to

men  and  forty  horses  are  re(|uired  to 
meet  the  demands  made  upon  them  for 
their  ice.  The  delivery  depot  and  of- 
fice head<iuartcrs  are  at  16  Cen- 
ter street,  where  ample  accommoda- 
tions are  at  hand  for  the  prosecution 
of  a  large  business.  The  company 
(leal  also  in  native  lumber,  and  dur- 
ing the  winter  season  employ  their 
men  in  this  branch  of  the  business, 
temporary  saw  mills  being  put  up  in 


(  luilford.  where  his  father  engaged  in 
agricultural  jnirsuits. 

In  1886.  to  satisfy  a  laudable  de- 
sire for  mercantile  life,  he  came  to 
Meriden,  and  entered  the  employ  of 
Little,  Somers  &  Hyatt,  where  he 
gained  the  merited  confidence  both  of 
his  employers  and  the  buying  public 
by  a  most  intelligent  and  faithful  per- 
formance of  his  duty,  and  uniform 
courtesy  to  all  the  patrons  of  the

Store  with  whom  he  came  in  contact. 
His  entry  into  tlie  ice  business,  and 
the  subsequent  formation  of  the  com- 
pany which  bears  his  name,  was  the 
natural  outcome  of  his  enterprise,  bus- 
iness activity  and  reliabihty,  and  the 
success  to  which  he  has  guided  the 
business  reflects  upon  his  judgment 
and  business  acumen  with  full  credit. 

Outside  of  business  Mr.  Bishop  has 
been  an  active  .spirit  in  the  life  of  Mer- 


ber  of  Center  Lodge,  97,  F.  &  A.  M..

member  of  the  Iwjard  of  aldermen,  be- 
ing elected  from  the  Fifth  ward.  Dur- 
ing his  connection  with  the  city  gov- 
ernment he  proved  to  be  a  wise  coun- 
selor to  his  associates  in  the  transac- 
tion of  city  affairs.  He  was  appointed 
and  served  on  several  important  spe- 
cial committees  with  credit  to  his  con- 
stituents and  the  city.    He  is  a  mem-

In  1891  he  was  united  in  marriage 
with  Esther  C,  daughter  of  C. 
G.  Johnson,  who  during  his  life  was  a 
leading  citizen  of  Meriden,  and  a  large 
real  estate  dealer.  His  home  is 
blessed  with  two  bright  children.  Ethel

With  his  brother  he  came  to  this  city 
in  1880,  In  1900  as  a  member  of  the 
firm  of  Jolin  and  Elias  Oefinger.  he 
began  the  manufacture  of  the  patent 
tuning  pipes  bearini^  his  name  and 
which  have  become  famous  in  the 
musical  trade.  The  tuning  pipes  were 
first  manufactured  in  the  shop  of  the 
Standard  Novelty  company;  but  in 
1902  the  present  factory,  comer  Me- 
chanic and  North  George  streets,  was 
removed  to,  where  two  floors  are  oc- 
cupied. In  190 1  Mr.  Oehnger's

er Mr.  Oefinger  has  carried  on  the 
business  alone.  Through  his  inven- 
tive genius  he  has  made  and  success- 
fully put  upon  the  market  several 
kinds  of  tuning  pipes,  among  them  a 
pitch  pipe,  giving  the  entire  rliromatic

F.  J.  WALLACE. 

Frederick  J.  Wallace,  manufactur- 
<.»r  of  saddlery  hardware  and  horse- 
hair plumes  for  sleighs,  saddle  chimes 
and  bridles,  occupies  the  old  Chap- 
man Manufacturing  Company's  plant 
and  employs  quite  a  number  of  hands. 
The  output  of  his  factory,  excepting 
that  of  the  horsehair  i)lumes,  is  what 
is   known  as  an  unfinished  product, 


ready  adaptation  to  circumstances,  he 
has  established  a  manufacturing  bus- 
iness of  the  above  line,  which  has 
grown  rapidly,  in  a  few  years,  to  large 
proportions. 

Mr.  Wallace,  while  a  native  of  Mas- 
sachusetts, has  been  a  resident  and  en- 
gaged in  business  in  Meriden  since 
1876;  and  for  fifteen  years  previous  to 
engaging  in  manufacturing,  conducted 
a  retail  provision  store  as  a  member

and  his  trade  is  with  the  large  job- 
iK-rs  and  harness  manufacturers.  As 
Mr.  Wallace  was  formerly  a  success- 
ful traveling  salesman  for  the  old 
Chapman  Manufacturing  C()mj>any, 
and  Landers.  I'rary  &  Clark,  when  he 
bought  and  started  up  his  plant  he 
possessed  a  wide  acf|uaintance  with

being  elected  treasurer  of  the  Nation- 
al IJutchers'  Association  of  the  Cnited 
States,  which  office  he  held  four  years. 

His  plant,  located  on  I'ritannia 
street,  has  a  frontage  of  135  feel,  is 
300  feet  deep,  and  also  extends  along

the  tracks  of  the  N.  Y.,  N.  H.  &  H. 
R.  R,  for  300  feet.  The  trade  he  sup- 
plies is  of  the  highest  class  and  his 
goods  are  recognized  by  jobbers  and 
manufacturers  in  his  line  as  the  best 
made  in  New  England. 

Mr.  Wallace  was  married  in  1880  to 
Carrie  E.  Brooks,  of  Cheshire,  and  has 
one  daughter. 


THE  H.  WALES  LINES  CO. 


A  town  is  what  its  builders  make  it. 
The  H.  Wales  Lines  Co.  certainly  has 
reason  to  be  proud  of  the  part  it  has 
taken  in  the  building  of  Mcriden. 
Siariing  in  1864  as  Perkins  &  Lines, 
the  firm  has  expanded  with  the  growth 
of  tin*  town  and  to-day  is  one  of  the 
largest  building  concerns  in  New  Eng- 
latHl  W  arly  all  of  the  factories,  hus- 
iiicsN  IjIik  Iss,  vchools,  churches  and  bet- 
tor clas.s  ui  private  residences  have 
been  ercctctl  by  them  and  their  per- 
manent character  tells  ul  the  thorough 
manner  with  wiiich  this  concern  does 
its  work. 

In  1878  the  withdrawal  of  Mr.  I'er- 
kins  necessitated  a  change  in  the  bus- 
iness name  of  the  firm  and  the  com- 
pany became  H.  Wales  Lines  &  Co., 
consisting  of  Mr.  Lines  and  Henry  E. 
Fairchild. 

In  1888  the  company  was  incorpo- 
rated under  its  present  name  with  H. 
Wales  Lines  as  president  and  treas- 
urer,  Henry  E.  Fairchild,  vice-presi- 
dent, and  Lewis  A.  Miller,  secretary. 

The  reputation  of  the  firm  was 
widely  known  and  a  demand  for  such 
a  concern  existing  in  other  places  the 


company  found  it  to  their  advantage 
to  accept  contracts  outside  of  Meridcn. 
This  outside  work  increased  and  with 
it  their  facilities  for  handling  h.  They 
now  execute  contracts  in  any  state  and 
are  prepared  to  do  any  kind  of  work 
at  any  time  and  in  any  place. 

Architects,  engineers  and  prospec- 
tive builders  found  tt  paid  them  to 
employ  a  firm  who  could  handle  anv 
size  contract  with  promptness  and  the 
substantial  welUbuiit  public  buildings, 
churches,  libraries,  college  buildings 
school  houses,  mercantile  blocks,  resi- 
dences, manufacturing  plants,  etc., 
tliat  this  company  ha.s  erected  in  Con- 
necticut and  other  states  are  an  evi* 
dence  of  this. 

The  co*npany  has  in  its  employ  ar. 
efficient  corps  of  engineers,  draftsmen 
.and  oilier  per.sons  trained  and  expe- 
rienced, ca])alile  of  meeting"  the  re- 
quirements in  a  th( »r<  >'ughl\  pcactical 
way  of  every  detail  of  the  buihtiiig 
business. 

Since  its  inception  tin-  company  h.is 
dealt  at  wholesale  and  retail  in  build- 
ing materials  and  supplies  of  all  kinds. 
From  their  organization  special  at- 
tention has  been  given  to  this  branch 
and  they  are  now  among  the  largest 
wholesale  dealers  in  their  line  in  the 
state. 

The  growth  of  the  business  de- 
manded larger  and  more  convenient 
quarters  than  had  been  previously  oc- 
cupied, so  400  feet  of  railroad  front- 
age was  purchased  on  State  street  and 
the  plant  erected  which  is  shown  in  the 
illustration.  The  main  storehouse  is 
150  feet  long,  two  stories  high,  and

forty  feet  in  width.  The  office  is  a 
model  of  convenience.  Extending 
from  the  storehouse  and  connected 
with  it  is  a  brick  stable.  It  is  difficult 
to  imagine  a  more  satisfactory  place 
in  which  to  carry  on  this  business. 
Ample  storage  room  for  quickly  and 
cheaply  handling  materials  is  a  neces- 
sary thing  to  profitably  meet  the  corn- 


Portland  cement,  lime,  granite,  mar- 
ble, blue  stone,  hair,  mortar  colors,  pat- 
ent plastering  mortars,  plaster  of  Paris,

New  England  agents  for  vitrified 
Ohio  sewer  pipe  and  flue  linings  they 
can  furnish  the  best  quality  direct

calling,  which  he  has  since  main- 
tained, and  the  partnership  of  Haley 
&  .\kers  was  continued . until  July,

his  time. 

John  Akers  was  born  in  Philadel- 
I)hia.  November  29,  1868.  and  has 
been  a  resident  of  Meriden  con- 
tinuously since  he  took  a  place  in 
tlie  ranks  of  the  local  business  men. 
The  work  of  the  studios  bearing  his 
name  has  been  such  as  to  reflect 
credit  upon  both  .Meriden  an<l  Hart- 
ford, and  due  to  his  skill  as  an  oper- 
ator and  his  extended  experience 
of  several  years,  during  which  time 
he  has  always  been  a  close  student 
of  his  business.  He  is  a  member  of 
Alfred  H.  Hall  Council.  1423.  Royal 
Arcanum.  He  was  married  in  1899 
to  Bessie,  a  daughter  of  \V infield 
R.  Coe.  a  representative  of  one  of 
the  oldest  and  best  known  families 


Ernest  \\  .  Pigeon  was  bc>m  iqj 
Meriden  in  1880  and  was  educaieJ 
in  the  public  schools.  .After  lakinJ 
a  three  years'  course  in  the  .Meri-I 
den  High  schotjl.  he  entered  thd 
studio  of  Haley  &  .Akers  in  189S 
and  has  been  associated  with  .MrJ 
Akers  ever  since.  He  proved  himn 
self  an  apt  scholar,  and  being  pos- ^ 
sessed  of  a  natural  talent  his  ad- 
vancement has  been  rapid.  Since  1903 
he  has  been  in  charge  of  the  studio 
of  which  he  is  now  also  a  part 
owner.  He  is  a  member  of  Meriden 
Lodge.  35.  P»enevolent  and  Protec- 
tive (^rder  of  Elks,  and  like  Mr. 
.Akers  is  known  as  one  of  thf 
younger  progressive  business  mtn 
of  the  town.  In  May.  1906.  he  made 
a  tour  abroad.

PERIODICAL  OF 


1847 


Arranged,  Printed  and  Originally  Distributed  Among 
Those   of  This   Country  Who   Deal    in  Silverware 


THIS  SPECIAL  EDITION 

Containing  all  the  Numbers  of 

Vols.  II  &  III 


Bound  Into  a  Book  for  a  Few  Friends  Who  May  Enjoy

THE  PUBLISHERS 


1907 


J 


ijfHIS  book  contains  Vols.  II  and  III  of  The  Silver 
„JH| 

^sfes    Standard.   Both  bear  the  date  1847 — as,  in  good 

time,  will  Vol.  IV  and  its  successors.  If  the  Standard 
successfully  "covers"  that  year,  no  more  will  be  re- 
quired of  it. 

The  items  here  reprinted  are  taken  from  many 
and  various  sources  —  newspapers,  magazines  and 
books  of  sixty  years  ago.  It  would  be  impossible  to 
give  credit  everywhere  where  credit  is  due,  but  it  may 
not  be  amiss  to  mention  some  of  the  sources  of  The 
Standard's  contents,  as  follows  :  Scientific  American, 
American  Review,  Gleason's  Pictorial  Drawing-Room 
Companion,  Democratic  Review,  Graham's  Magazine, 
Hunt's  Merchants'  Magazine,  United  States  Magazine, 
New  York  Mirror,  Hampden  Post,  Anglo-American, 
Boston  Almanac,  New  York  Sun,  Fisher's  Magazine, 
Hartford  and  New  Haven,  Conn.,  papers  and  Godey's 
Lady's  Book. 

The  authorities  consulted  in  the  preparation  of  the 
sketches  of  cities  are  given,  for  the  most  part,  in  the 
text  of  the  articles  themselves.

OUR  COUNTRY 
IN  YEAR  1847 

REVIEW  OF  UNITED  STATES 
BY  HORACE  GREELEY 


WONDERFUL  ADVANCE  MADE  IN  SCIENCE 

THAT  CONTRIBUTES  TO  OUR  HEALTH 

AND  COMFORT. 


Mr.  Horace  Greeley 
contributes  the  follow- 
ing : 

The  great  strides 
which  Physical  Im- 
provement has  made  in 
our  day  have  been 
worthily  the  theme  of 
frequent  and  forcible  ob- 
servation. Canals,  out 
of  China,  were  rare  and 
of  small  account  before 
the  commencement  of 
the  present  century; 
Steamboats  were  un- 
dreamed of ;  Railroads 
a  palpable  impossibility. 

Think  of  our  grand- 
mothers' indignation  at 
the  mendacious  vagrant 
who  should  have  told 
them  that  a  man  might 
travel  from  Boston  to 
Baltimore  within  twe.n  - 
ty-four  hours,  riding  in 
a  twenty  ton  vehicle 
I  ropelled  by  fire  and 
water ! 

Yet  to  us,  though 
Steamboats  have  been 
but  forty  and  Railroad; 
hardly  ten  years  in  be- 
ing, these  have  ceased 
to  be  wonders;  the 
marvels  of  Steam 
Presses  and  Electric 
Telegraphs  have  super- 
seded them ;  and  tfnse 
in  turn  are  destined  soon 
to  be  supplanted  by 
others. 

Ten  years  since  I  at- 
tended by  invitation  a 
private  exhibition  cf 
Professor  Morse's  new- 
ly invented  Electric 
Telegraph.  It  was  at 
the  New  York  Univer- 
sity, and  sentences  and 
mescages  were  trans- 
mitted through  a  coil  of 
wire  said  to  be  ten  miles 
long,  and  read  off  to  a 
wondering  crowd,  most 
of  whom  doubtless  re- 
garded the  machinery, 
batteries,  &c,  &c,  as 
quite  ingenious,  but 
fantastic,  and  evidenc- 
ing a  deplorable  misuse 
of  tine  and  means. 

Now,  there  are  thou- 
sands of  miles  of  tele- 
graphic communication 
in  this  country  alone, 
and  I  sit  in  my  work- 
room in  New  York  and 


wnte  out  a  question  to 
ask  a  friend  in  Cincin- 
nati or  Richmond,  to 
which  his  answer  is  laid 
on  my  table  in  the 
course  of  two  hours 
thereafter!  (But  for 
the  delay  in  twice  cross- 
ing the  broad  Hudson 
by  ferry-boat  in  default 
of  telegraphic  connec- 
tion, this  time  would  be 
much  shorter.)  A  few 
/ears  hence  the  people 
of  Oregon  will  read  at 
3  P.  M.  in  their  news- 
papers the  result  cf  di- 
visions of  either  house  at 
Washington  at  5  P.M. 
of  the  same  day ;  for 
iime  is  not  merely  anni- 
hilated by  t!:e  telegraph ; 
it   is  abscLtely  out-run 

anticpated ;  so  that 
ticimgs  in  parsing  west- 
waid  will  be  constantly 
received  i..  advance  of 
the  hour  of  sending 
them. 

Already  the  arrival 
of  a  steamship  (itself 
one  of  our  new  though 
not  newest  wonders)  iz 
announced  in  New 
York  some  minutes  ear- 
lier than  the  actual  dale 
of  the  arrival ;  and  soon 
the  merchants  of  New 
Orleans  will  read  the 
foreign  news  received  at 
Boston  at  least  an  hour 
earlier  (in  the  day)  than 
their  brethren  in  Boston 
itself !  The  immense 
revolution  in  habits, 
opinions,  policy,  and 
ideas  which  this  magic 
wire  is  destined  to  ef- 
fect, can  hardly  yet  be 
realized. 

And  when  we  hear 
that  some  one  in  Cin- 
cinnati has  just  invented 
a  means  of  transporting, 
at  a  very  moderate  ex- 
pense, a  traveler  from 
that  city  to  New  York 
within  two  hours,  (is 
this  swifter  or  slower 
than  the  medium  speed 
of  a  cannon-ball?)  th» 
natural  sentiment  is  no 
longer  incredulity  nor 
even  surprise ;  we  sim- 
ply await  with  interest 
and  curiosity  the  devel- 
opment of  his  plan. 


THE  FUTURE 
OF  TEXAS 

SOME    TIMELY    QUESTIONS 
BEING  ASKED 


HOW  ARE  WE  TO  GOVERN  THE  RECENTLY 

ANNEXED    TERRITORY?     NORTH 

AND  SOUTH. 


T"HE  likeness  of  Horace  Greeley  in  this  number  is,  we  think, 
*  a  good  one.  It  is  characteristic.  The  carelessness  in  dress,  the 
unstudied  simplicity  of  address,  the  honest,  unpretending  truthfulness 
of  heart  that  make  up  the  man  himself,  as  he  is  seen  by  the  world, 
we  can  also  see  in  this  picture. 


The  immense  ad- 
vances of  the  half  cen- 
tury just  closing,  in 
Arts,  Manufactures 
and  Productive  Capac- 
ity, open  too  wide  a 
field  to  be  more  than 
glanced  at  here.  Low- 
ell, Manchester,  Law- 
rence are  but  types  of 
the  Industrial  Revolu- 
tion which  is  rapidly 
transforming  the  whole 
civilized  world.  Com- 
merce and  Manufact- 
ures are  the  first  to 
acknowledge  its  power; 
but  Agriculture  is  cer- 
tain to  follow  in  their 
path. 

The  petty  farm  and 
separate  cottage  will 
experience  the  fate  of 
the  household  loom  and 
spinning  wheel.  In  the 
existing  destitution,  of- 
ten unto  suffering,  cf  a 
large  proportion  of  the 
Laboring  Class,  it  is 
morally  impossible  that 
the  dictates  of  Econ- 
omy, of  Labor-saving, 
should  for  any  length  of 
time  be  generally  re- 
sisted. 

The  consciousness 
that  twenty  men's  con- 
joint labor,  aided  by  the 
most  approved  machin- 
ery, can  effect  more 
than  that  of  fifty  men 
scattered  on  twenty  to 
forty  farms,  cut  up  into 
little  patches  and  culti- 
vated by  the  aid  of  such 


implements  as  pertain  to 
such  farms  and  farmers, 
must  inevitably  in  time 
produce  its  natural  re- 
sult. Either  through  an 
Industrial  Feudalism  or 
a  more  Republican 
combination  of  efforts 
for  mutual  benefit,  a 
transformation  of  Rural 
Labor  is  at  hand.  The 
course  may  yet  be 
varied, but  the  momen- 
tum is  already  given. 

TIGHT  PANTA- 
LOONS AND  TO- 

BACCO-The  num- 
ber on  the  sick  list  at 
West  Point,  last  year, 
caused  some  investiga- 
tion to  be  made,  and  the 
surgeon  represents  the 
causes  to  be  the  inordin- 
ate quantity  of  tobacco 
used  by  them,  and  the 
practice  of  wearing  pan- 
taloons so  tight  around 
the  waist  as  to  interfere 
with  digestion. 

THE  QUICKEST 
TRIP   YET-The 

Mail  Pilot  line  made 
the  passage  from  New 
York  to  this  city,  on 
Tuesday  evening,  in  the 
unprecedented  quick 
time  of  three  hours  and 
fifty  minutes.  This  is 
the  quickest  trip  ever 
made  from  New  York 
tr>  Philadelphia  by  a 
train  of  passenger  cars. 
Phil.  N.  Amer. 


EMIGRATION 
TO  CALIFORNIA 
— A  correspondent  to 
the  Journal  of  Com- 
merce writing  from 
Monterey,  California, 
under  the  date  of  Sep- 
tember 19th,  1846, 
states  that  3000  emi- 
grants from  the  United 
States,  it  is  understood, 
have  just  arrived  at  San 
Francisco,  in  two  com- 
panies, one  commanded 
by  Capt.  Hastings  and 
he  other  by  Capt. 
Prussel,  and  ten  thou- 
sand more  are  on  their 
way. 

MORALS  1 N 
CONNECTICUT 

Morris,  the  manager  of 
a  strolling  company  of 
players,  has  been  fined 
$60,  in  Manchester, 
Ct.  The  charge  was, 
that  "said  Morris,  with 
force  and  arms,  and 
with  a  view  of  gain, 
did  cause  certain  fe- 
males, dressed  in  wom- 
en s  clothes,  to  whirl 
round  swiftly  on  one 
foot,  with  the  other  ex- 
tended at  right  angles, 
and  in  a  horizontal  po- 
sition. 

"Tar  and  Feathers" 
of  the  right  sort.  A 
Mr.  Tarr,  in  Newport, 
has  married  a  widow 
by  the  name  of  Feath- 
ers. 


The  annexation  of 
Texas,  was,  no  doubt, 
tolerated  by  public 
opinion,  in  consequence 
of  the  fanaticism  dis- 
played by  a  portion  of 
the  North,  who  lost  no 
opportunity  to  irritate 
the  feelings,  and  threat- 
en to  invade  the  rights 
of  the  South  those 
rights  which  were  se- 
cured by  our  common 
bond  of  union. 

The  war  was  a  con- 
sequence of  the  annex- 
ation of  Texas  and  the 
further  annexation  of 
distant  regions  seems  to 
have  been  the  object ; 
for  the  proclamations  of 
our  Generals  and  Com- 
modores, from  the  in- 
terior of  Mexico  and 
the  shores  of  the  Pacific 
appear  to  have  been 
warranted  by  tbe  spirit 
of  their  instructions. 

How  are  we  to  gov- 
ern the  conquered 
States?  Are  we,  like 
Rome  of  old,  to  hold 
them  in  subjection  and 
treat  them  as  tributaries 


of  our  republic?  or  are 
we  to  retain  them  as 
territories  ?  or  are  we  to 
incorporate  them  into 
our  Union? 

How  will  the  East- 
ern States  approve  of 
this  gigantic  extension  of 
the  area  of  the  old  Con- 
federacy over  a  whole 
hemisphere  of  Foreign 
States? 

How  will  the  South 
relish  the  increase  and 
spread  of  our  own  pop- 
ulation over  these  dis- 
tant and  fertile  regions, 
if  they  shall  be  admitted 
on  a  footing  of  equality; 
and  in  what  form  or 
shape,  and  under  what 
circumstances  can  the 
Southern  Atlantic 
States  be  benefited  by 
this  wholesale  incorpo- 
ration ? 

Questions  such  as 
these  begin  to  be  enter- 
tained ;  they  already 
possess  some  interest ; 
they  will  soon  acquire 
importance. 


PUBLIC    SPIRIT 
IN  LITCHFIELD- 

Two  drovers,  named 
Purdy,  passed  through 
Litchfield,  Ct.,  on  Sun- 
day noon  last,  with  a 
drove  of  cattle  from  the 
west.andputupat  Brad- 
leyville,  four  miles  dist- 
ant. The  Rev.  Mr.  — 
accosted  them,  and  en- 
quired whether  they 
didn't  know  that  it  was 
wrong  to  drive  on  the 
Sabbath?  to  which  they 
replied  in  the  affirma- 
tive ;  but  instead  of  stop- 
ping they  went  on  to 
the  next  tavern,  four 
miles     distant.  The 

Grand  Juror  was  wait- 
ed on,  the  constable 
called  out  of  church,  a 
fleet  horse  procured,  and 
the  drovers  arrested, 
travelled  back  to  Litch- 
field, and  made  to 
"pony  up'  $12,  after 
which  the  services  in 
Mr. —  church  were  un- 
interrupted. 


A  young  gentleman 
of  this  city,  says  the 
Boston  Post,  on  a  New 
Year's  day  rectified  a 
mistake  in  his  washer- 
woman's bill,  and  paid 
her  $1.50  more  than 
she  had  charged.  This 
rare  instance  of  honesty 
coming  to  the  ears  of 
several  of  his  female  ac- 
quaintances, they  have 
resolved  to  make  and 
present  him  a  dozen 
shirts,  with  a  suitable 
inscription  with  indeli- 
ble ink.

The     Vintage 


J5 


The  success  of  our  newest  pattern,  the  "Vintage, "  was  assured  from 
the  first.  During-  the  months  it  has  been  upon  the  market,  the  demand 
has  steadily  increased.  Its  beauty,  its  originality,  the  careful  workmanship 
that  marks  its  execution  have  made  the  "Vintage"  one  of  the  most  popular 
designs  ever  offered  to  the  public. 

The  employment  of  the  grape  clusters,  leaves,  and  tendrils  is  in 
eminently  good  taste,  avoiding  all  suspicion  of  freakishness,  not  forcing 
itself  upon  the  attention,  and  yet  affording  a  pleasing  deviation  from  the 
conventional. 

It  has  found  its  way  into  the  homes  of  people  of  taste  and  refinement, 
and,  we  venture  to  predict,  the  call  for  this  design  will  prove  steady. 
It  has  been  adapted  to  all  the  pieces  usually  made  in  the  "  1847  Rogers 
Bros."  line.  Like  all  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  goods,  it  is  up  to  the  standard 
established  by  Rogers  Bros,  when  they  discovered  the  process  of  electro- 
silver  plating  in   1847. 

The  trade-mark,  "  1847  Rogers  Bros.",  stands  for  quality  first,  last, 
and  all  the  time.  We  cannot  afford  to  put  out  anything  bearing  this 
trade-mark  unless  it  is  the  best.  Our  extensive  general  advertising  has 
educated,  and  is  educating,  the  people  to  look  for  the  "  1847  Rogers 
Bros."  trade-mark.  This  is  of  benefit  to  you  as  well  as  to  us.  We  advertise 
the  goods,   and  it  is  for  the  dealer  to  let  people  know  he  has  them. 

Our  advertising  has  been  a  factor  in  stimulating  the  demand  for  the 
"Vintage"  pattern,  but  no  amount  of  advertising  would  have  sold  the 
goods  had  they  not  met  with  public  approval.  No  dealer  will  make  a 
mistake  when  he  lays  in  a  stock  of  the   "Vintage."

THE  STANDARD  FOR   190b. 

The  first  volume  of  The  Silver  Standard 
was  received  with  so  much  favor  by  the  trade 
that  it  was  decided  to  continue  its  publication. 
In  this,  the  first  number  of  the  second  volume, 
we  have  broadened  the  scope,  and  we  feel 
very  confident  that  The 
Silver  Standard  —  although 
perhaps  not  so  much  of  a 
novelty  as  it  was  last  year 
— will  prove  even  more  in- 
teresting and  of  still  greater 
value. 

The  first  and  last  pages 
remain  as  they  were  in 
form,  reprinting  the  news 
of  1847  as  found  in  various 
newspapers  and  other  peri- 
odicals of  that  year.  The 
fourth  and  fifth  pages  will 
present  views  of  localities, 
buildings,  etc.,  as  they 
appeared  in  1847,  and  as 
they,  or  their  successors, 
appear  to-day.  A  short 
description  will  accom- 
pany the  illustrations  and 
help  the  latter  to  emphasize 
the  great  changes  that  have 
taken  place  since  1847  (as 
on  Page  4  of  the  present 
number)  or  (as  on  Page  5) 


the  striking  similarity  between  the  ideas  of 
today  and  those  of  nearly  sixty  years  ago. 

We  would  also  call  attention  to  the  excel- 
lent cut  of  Horace  Greeley  on  the  first  page. 
The  original  appeared  in  the  publication  enti- 
tled the  Nineteenth  Century,  for  the  year 
1847.  In  the  same  number  appeared  the 
article  by  Greeley  on  "Our  Country," 
which  we  reprint  on  Page  1 .  The  picture  from 
which  the  cut  was  made  was  taken  when  the 
great  editor  was  about  thirty-five  years  of  age 
and  differs  greatly  from  the  usual  picture  of 
Greeley  with  the  familiar  eruption  of  chin 
whiskers,  old  style  spectacles  and  felt  hat. 

In  delving  into  the  musty  annals  of  the  first 
naif  of  the  nineteenth  century  we  have  been 
forcibly  impressed  by  the  fact  that  the  year 
1847  was  remarkable  for  other  reasons  than 
that  great  reason  which  we  have  known  so 
long      the  discovery   of   the  electro-silver  plat-

CONTRAST 

PHILADELPHIA  BUILDING  IN  1847 

AND  STRUCTURE  THAT  NOW 

OCCUPIES  SITE. 

The  two  cuts  on  this  page  present  a  deci- 
ded contrast.     One  shows  the  "  Hall  of  the 
Academy  of  Natural    Sciences    of    Philadel- 
phia" as  it  stood  in  1847.     "  It  has  been  fre- 
quently said  the  building  at  the  northeast  cor- 
ner of  Broad  and  George  streets  looks  poverty 
caste,"    observed    a    magazine    of  the  period. 
"  The  building  of  which  we  speak  was  founded 
on  the  25th  of  May,  1839,  by  the  Academy 
of  Natural  Sciences  of  Philadelphia,'  a  society 
which  was  begun  on  the  25th  of  January,  1812, 
and  incorporated  by  an  act 
of   the    Legislature    of    the 
State    of   Pennsylvania   on 
the  24th  of  March,   1817. 
"The  object  of  the  Insti- 
tution   is    to    cultivate   the 
Natural     Sciences    exclus- 
ively, and  to  diffuse  a  know- 
ledge of  them  amongst  the 
people." 

To-day  the  site  of  the 
"poverty  caste"  building 
with  the  long  but  dignified 
name  is  occupied  by  the 
Land  and  Title  Company's 
sky-scraper,  shown  in  the 
lower  cut.  The  Phila- 
delphia of  1906  is  not  the 
Philadelphia  that  the  good 
people  of  1847  knew  and 
loved  and  ■  the  fact  can 
hardly  be  more  strikingly 
emphasized  than  it  is  on  this 
page. 

To  quote  once  more 
from  the  magazine  : 

"The  'Hall  of  the 
Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of  Philadel- 
phia' is  forty-five  feet  front  on  Broad  street, 
and  one  hundred  and  fifteen  feet  on  George 
street,  with  an  elevation  of  fifty  feet.  The 
style  of  architecture  is  plain  and  unpretending  ; 
and  as  already  intimated,  the  extenor  remains 
unfinished  for  want  of  funds,  all  the  resources 
of  the  Society  being  required  to  meet  the  cur- 
rent expenses  incurred  for  preserving  the  objects 
in  the  museum,  binding,  books,  warming  and 
lighting,  etc.,  etc." 

The  "  George  street "  referred  to  in  the 
magazine  is  the  Sansom  street  of  to-day. 

The  difference  in  the  two  buildings  is  typical 
of  the  difference  in  the  methods  employed  and 
the  magnitude  of  the  business  of  to-day  and 
that  of  nearly  sixty  years  ago.  A  Philadel- 
phian  of  1 847  would  feel  himself  indeed  a 
stranger  in  a  strange  land  were  he  to  return  to 
'his  old  haunts.

ing  process  by  Rogers  Bros.  During  the 
course  of  the  year  it  will  be  our  privi- 
lege to  demonstrate  this  fact  in  the  suc- 
cessive numbers  of  The  Silver  Standard. 
While  we  show  what  a  newspaper  of 
the  period  was  like  and  attempt  to  give 
a  fairly  accurate  glimpse  of  the  events 
and  thoughts,  the  customs  and  fashions 
of  the  year  1847,  we  hope,  also,  to  im- 
press upon  your  mind  the  fact  that  it  is 
nearly  sixty  years  since  the  first  Rogers 
Bros,  silver  plated  ware  was  produced 
and,  moreover,  that  the  standard  set  in 
1847  has  been  maintained  ever  since  by 
Rogers  Bros,  and  their  successors.  If  The 
Silver  Standard  succeeds  in  this  endeavor, 
and  if  it  arouses  the  interest  and  furnishes 
some  rather  unique  instruction,  it  will 
have  accomplished  its  object.

IDEA  OF  NEWLY  COMPLETED 

STRUCTURE  DATES  BACK  TO 

THE  1847  PERIOD. 

On  the  opposite  page  our  theme  was  "Con- 
trast"; on  this  page  our  text  is:  "There  is 
nothing  new  under  the  sun."  The  two  illus- 
trations below  might  be  mistaken  for  pictures 
of  the  same  structure,  but  the  lower  one  shows 
the  aerial  feny  recently  completed  at  Duluth, 
Minn.,  bridging  the  Duluth  ship  canal— "the 
only  one  of  its  kind  in  America  and  one  of  the 
unique  sights  not  only  of  Duluth  but  of  the 
entire  country " — and  the  other  an  inventor's 
drawing  made  nearly  sixty  years  ago. 


than  the  benefits  conferred,  because  the  ship 
ping  that  passes  this  point  is  immense,  and  the 
other  business  is  comparatively  small.  But  at 
Piermont  the  shipping  is  much  less,  while  the 
Erie  Railroad  brings  to  that  point  a  world  of 
freight  and  passengers  from  the  great  West." 

The  dimensions  of  the  Duluth  bridge  are : 
Clear  span  of  381  1-2  feet;  depth  of  truss, 
50  feet;  clear  height  above  water,  135  feet. 
The  cut  shown  is  from  a  photograph  taken  at 
the  time  the  car  made  its  first  trip  across. 

The  traveling  car  is  suspended  from  the 
lower  cords  of  the  structure  by  stiff  cables.  Its 
floor  is  twelve  feet  above  the  water  line.  The 
distance  from  bank  to  bank  of  the  stream  is 
made  in  1  1  -2  minutes.  The  car  measures 
20  feet  by  30  feet,  and  has  a  capacity  of  65 
tons.  The  structure  was  built  at  a  cost  of 
about  $110,000. 

Duluth  formerly  managed  to  get  along  with 
two  old-fashioned,   flat  bottom   ferry  boats  at 


means  of  an  overhead  structure.  This  solved 
ihe  problem.  He  immediately  went  back, 
and  told  the  people  of  Duluth  about  the 
remarkable  swinging  bridge,  whereupon  they 
decided  to  build  one  like  it. 

Thus  Americans  were  forced  to  borrow 
from  France  an  invention  that  dated  back  in 
their  own  country  nearly  sixty  years. 


GROWTH  OF  MANUFACTURES. 

The  growth  of  the  United  States  since  1847 
is  shown  by  a  comparison  of  the  statistics  of 
manufactures  as  given  in  the  census  of  1 850 
and  1900.  According  to  these  figures,  there 
has  been  an  increase  in  capital  invested  ap- 
proximating seventeen-fold  ;  in  the  average 
number  of  wage-earners  the  increase  has  been 
about  four  and  one-half-fold  ;  in  amount  of 
wages  paid  about  nine-fold;  and  in  gross  value 
of  products  about  twelve-fold. 

The  population  of  the  country  in  the  same 
period  has  increased  two  and  one-quarter  fold. 

The  number  of  manufacturing  establish- 
ments in  1 900  was  5  1 2,339,  as  against  1 23,025 
in  1850. 

The  capital  was  $9,835,086,909  as   against 

$533,245,351. 

The  value  of  products  in  1900  was 
$13,014,287,498  as  compared  with  $1,019,- 
06,616  in  1850. 

The  growth  of  the  cheese,  butter  and  milk 
industry  since  1847  is  remarkable.  In  1847 
there  were  but  eight  cheese  factories  in  the 
country.  According  to  the  1900  census,  the 
cheese,  butter  and  condensed  milk  establish- 
ments numbered  9,355,  with  a  capital  of 
$36,508,015;  salaries  aggregating  $915,442; 


"  Swinging  people  and  freight  across  a 
stream  by  means  of  an  aerial  ferry  is  a  novel 
method  of  river-crossing,"  says  the  Technical 
World  Magazine,  commenting  upon  the  Duluth 
bridge. 

Mr.  H.  M.  Houghton,  of  Bergen,  N.  J., 
conceived  the  idea  about  1847.  It  is  thus 
described  in  the  Scientific  American  of  that 
time: 

"The  nature  of  the  invention  consists  of 
erecting  piers  of  a  great  height  and  placing  a 
double  track  railroad  on  the  same,  sufficiently 
high  to  allow  the  masts  of  ships  to  pass  freely 
underneath  during  the  highest  freshets  or  tides. 
A  suspension  carriage  (or  carriages)  is  em- 
ployed; it  is  hung  to  run  on  the  track  above 
and  the  platform  of  it  is  hung  so  far  below 
the  track  on  the  piers  as  to  allow  persons  and 
carriages  to  pass  on  the  suspension  carriage  or 
platform,  and  to  be  propelled  on  the  other 
side." 

Regarding  the  site  of  the  proposed  ferry 
the  Scientific  American  continued: 

"  The  question  of  erecting  a  bridge  over  the 
East  River  at  New  York  has  often  been  dis- 
cussed, but  no  bridge  could  be  erected  over  ii 
that  would  pay  expenses  and  compete  with 
ferry-boats.  That  a  bridge  could  be  erected 
there  can  be  no  doubt  at  all,  and  the  one  here 
presented  would  be  by  far  the  best  in  every 
sense  of  tfje  word. 

"To  erect  a  drawbridge  over  the  Hudson 
from  New  York  to  Jersey  City,  the  interests 
of  the  public  would  probably  suffer,  that  is 
the  damage  to  navigation   would    be    greater 


this  crossing  ;  but  the  traffic  became  so  con- 
gested that  some  other  method  had  to  be  de- 
vised. Tunneling  under  the  stream  was 
suggested,  bui  the  estimated  cost  of  nearly 
$2,000,000  made  this  scheme  impossible.  The 
war  department  would  not  permit  of  the  con- 
struction of  a  drawbridge.  Ships  could  not 
pass  under  any  other  kind  of  bridge ;  and  so 
Duluth  was  in  a  state  of  perplexity  until  one 
of  her  citizens  went  to  Rouen,  France,  and 
there  saw  traffic  hauled  across  the  Seine  by 


employing  12,865  persons,  v 
amounted  to  $6, 1  70,670.  The 
products  was  $13 1 ,199,277.

in  1847  was  1,449,073.  According  to  the 
last  census  the  number  was  5,737,372.  The 
value  of  farm  property  in  1847  was  $3,967,-

Patterns  come  and  go.  The  popularity  of  some  is  very  fleeting.  The  "Berkshire"  has 
proved  the  exception  to  the  rule.  The  demand  for  this  design  has  been  phenomenal.  It 
has  increased  rather  than  diminished.  Artistic  and  graceful,  it  has  not  made  the  mistake 
of  being   too    "fancy."     It  is,    above   all,    the  one  pattern   no  dealer  should   be  without.

1 847  —This  year  there 
will  be  two  eclipses  of 
the  sun  and  two  of  the 
moon. 

1  — The  moon  will  be 
partially  eclipsed  March 
3 1  ;  invisible  at  this 
place ;  but  visible  to 
nearly  the  whole  of  the 
Eastern  Continent. 

2 — The  sun  will  be 
totally  eclipsed  April 
1 4  and  1 5  :  invisible 
here.  The  line  of  cen- 
tral and  total  eclipse 
will  pass  over  the  In- 
dian Ocean  and  the 
northern  part  of  Aus- 
tralia. 

3 — The  moon  will  be 
partially  eclipsed  Sep- 
tember 24  :  invisible. 

4 — The  sun  will  be 
partially  eclipsed  Octo- 
ber 1 9  ;  invisible  at  this 
place.  This  eclipse  will 
be  visible  to  the  whole 
of  Europe,  nearly  the 
whole  of  Asia  and  the 
northern  part  of  Africa. 

VALENTINES- 

The  custom  of  sending 
Valentines  has  become 
the  means  of  offering 
the  grossest  insult, 
anonymously  ;  so  much 
so  as  to  lead  many  of  our 
refined  people  to  refuse 
to  accept  them,  from  the 
postman,  or  bearer,  no 
matter  how  costly  the 
missive  may  be. — (Ex- 
change. 

The  Valentine  ven- 
ders had  but  a  sorry  bus- 
iness of  it  this  year.  We 
are  glad  of  this ;  the 
system  is  contemptibly 
foolish,  and  there  are  a 
few  other  systems  just 
as  bad  amongst  us.  We 
hope  that  our  refined 
people  will  become  sen- 
sible people,  for  as  a 
general  thing,  those  that 
are  termed  refined  have 
a  great  number  of  fool- 
ish notions. 

INSTANCE  OF 
GAMBLING-A 

colored  fireman,  run- 
ning on  a  steamboat  be-  i 
tween  St.  Louis  and 
New  Orleans,  having 
lost  all  his  money  at  I 
poker  with  his  compan-  j 
ions,  staked  his  cloth- 
ing, and  still  being  un- 
fortunate, pledged  his 
own  freedom  for  a  small 
amount.  Losing  this, 
the  bets  were  doubled, 
and  he  finally,  at  one 
desperate  hazard,  ven- 
tured his  full  value  as  a 
slave,  and  laid  down  his 
free  papers  to  represent 
the  stake.  He  lost, 
suffered  his  certificates 
to  be  destroyed— and 
was  actually  Fold  by  th= 
winner  to  a  slave  deal- 
er, who  hesitated  not 
to  make  a  small  dis- 
count upon  his  assessed 
value. 


GUN    COTTON 

— It  is  stated  that  Isaac 
Meikle,  of  Camden,  N. 
J.,  is  applying  gun  cot- 
ton to  the  propulsion  of 
machinery  in  his  fac- 
tory. The  engine  is 
constructed  on  the  plan 
of  the  ordinary  horizon- 
tal steam  engine,  except 
there  are  two  cylinders; 
one  working  in  the 
other.  The  gun  cotton 
i;  ignited  by  electricity, 
engendered  and  applied 
in  a  novel  manner. 
One  person  can  run  the 
engine. 


SILVER   PITCH- 

ER-The  friends  of 
Neal  Dow,  Mayor  of 
Portland,  have  present- 
ed to  that  gentleman  an 
elegant  silver  pitcher  for 
his  course  in  reference 
to  the  Maine  liquor  law. 

The  weather  in  Phil- 
adelphia on  the  7  th  of 
last  month  was  so  pleas- 
ant that  the  farmers 
commenced  ploughing, 
and  the  steamboat  Bal- 
loon was  advertised  to 
make  a  pleasure  excur- 
sion to  Garry's  Ferry, 
but  on  the  8th,  winter 
again  set  in,  and  the 
plough  and  the  excur- 
sion were  both  arrested. 

The  Legislatures  of 
several  of  the  states  are 
now  in  session.  In 
New  York  the  atten- 
tion of  that  body  is 
mainly  engrossed  by  the 
Constitution.  The  en- 
tire debt  of  ?^ew  York, 
as  stated  in  the  message 
of    the    Governor,    is 

124,724,080. 

Mr.W.  H.  Pres- 
cott's  "History  of  Pe- 
ru," is  passing  through 
the  press  of  the  Harpei  3 
as  rapidly  as  possible, 
and  will  probably  be 
given  to  the  public  by 
first  of  June.  It  is  ar- 
ranged upcn  the  same 
general  plan  of  the  au- 
thor's "Conquest  of 
Mexico,"  and  will  con- 
tain a  preliminary  view 
of  the  civilization  of  the 
Incas. 


DICKENS' 
A  M  E  R  I  C  A  N 

NOTES-Mr.  Dick- 
ens' account  of  his  trav- 
els in  the  United  States 
has  at  length  appeared. 
Its  feebleness  and  injus- 
tice are  too  apparent 
to  need  any  comment. 
When  Englishmen  lose 
their  national  preju- 
dices; when  travelling 
book-makers  cease  to 
find  their  profit  in  villi- 
fying  the  people  whom 
they  visit,  or  when  the 
strange  and  hitherto  un- 
witnessed spectacle  of 
an  English  tourist  of 
capacious  mind,  of  stern 
integrity,  and  of  liberal 
views  is  seen  among  us ; 
then,  and  not  till  then, 
may  we  hope  to  see  our 
true  picture  issued  from 
a  London  print-shop. 

We  have  said  that 
the  various  writings  of 
Mr.  Dickens  gave  us 
no  promise  of  a  superior 
book  of  travels.  They 
are  among  the  lightest 
of  the  light  reading  of 
the  day — the  very  whip 
-syllabub    of   literature. 

The  features  of  the 
b^ok  that  strike  the 
reader  smind  most 
prominently  are  its  in- 
anit.-  and  imbecility. 

The  style  is  the  or- 
dinary style  of  Dickens; 
always  diffuse,  often 
lackadaisical,  and  some- 
times gross. 


AZTEC    CHILDREN 

NOW   EXHIBITED   IN 
NEW  YORK. 

The  two  extraordin- 
ary and  interesting  be- 
ings known  as  the  "Az- 
tec Children,"  have  for 
some  considerable  time 
exhibited  in  the  city  of 
New  York,  where 
thousands  with  interest 
i-ave  sought  to  gratify 
their  curiosity  as  to  the 
probable  origin  and  his- 
tory of  these  wonderful 
representatives  of  th : 
ancient  Adam. 

It  is  asserted  by  Val- 
esquez,  one  of  the  prin- 
cipal conductors  of  the 
expedition  which  result- 
ed in  the  capture  of 
these  wonderful  chil- 
dren, that  ihcy  consti- 
tute a  portion  cf  the  an- 
cient and  peculiar  order 
of  priesthood  called 
Kaanas,  which  it  was 
distinctly  asserted  in  the 
ancient  annals  of  Ix- 
imaya  had  accompanied 
the  first  migration  of  this 
people  from  the  Assyr- 
ian plains. 

Their  peculiar  and 
strongly  distinctive  line- 
aments, it  is  now  per- 
fectly well  ascertained 
are  to  be  traced  in  many 
of  the  sculptured  mon- 
uments of  the  Central 
American  ruins,  and 
were   found   still    more 


abundantly  on  those  of 
Iximaya. 

Forbidden,  by  inviol- 
ably sacred  laws,  from 
intermarrying  with  any 
persons  but  those  of  their 
own  caste,  they  had 
here  dwindled  down, 
in  the  course  of  many 
centuries,  to  a  few  in- 
significant individuals, 
diminutive  in  stature, 
and  imbecile  in  intellect. 

Such  is  the  language 
of  the  conductors  of  the 
enterprise  referred  to — 
such  the  probable  origin 
of  these  extraordinary 
representations  of  those 
who  in  Scriptural  lan- 
guage were  "called 
giants,'  new  re-appear- 
ing in  what  might  be 
justly  delineated  as  min  - 
iature  editions  of  hu- 
manity- Dagi-er;«o- 
typed  specimens  cf  him 

who  was  created  a 
little  lower  than  the 
angel  j." 

The  origin  of  these 
little  strangers  must,  we 
think,  remain  for  the 
present  involved  in  an 
obscurity  which  time 
and  future  discoveries 
can  alcne  remove. 

The  boy  measures 
about  thirty-two  inches 
in  height,  and  the  girl 
twenty-nine.  They  are 
finely  formed,  and  deli- 
cately fashioned  in  pro- 
portion to  the  reduced 
-U.Z  arc  natural  confor- 


mation which  distin- 
guish their  structures. 
Their  color  is  of  the 
Spanish,  or  rather  more 
of  the  Mexican  com- 
plexion ;  the  hair  black 
and  silken  in  its  appear- 
ance, slightly  inclined  to 
curl,  yet  glossy  and 
beautiful. 

In  the  relations  which 
have  placed  them  to- 
gether, and  in  those  as- 
sociations where  cus- 
tom and  habit  would 
seem  to  produce  a  com- 
munity cf  interest  and  a 
kindred  sympathy,  there 
appears  but  little  affin- 
ity. 


DANIEL  WEB- 
STER AND  THE 
WAR-Who    doubts 

the  motives  of  the  God  - 
like  Daniel  in  opposing 
the  war  and  charging 
it  upon  the  President? 
No  one.  All  well 
know  that  he  is  seeking 
to  become  the  next  can- 
didate for  the  Presiden- 
cy. He  is  constantly 
opposing  the  war,  de- 
claring it  was  made  by 
the  President,  and  the 
whole  federal  party  are 
endeavoring  to  back 
him  up  in  this  false  as- 
sertion. But  they  con- 
not  make  the  people 
believe  it.  The  vote  of 
the  Senate  and  the 
House  of  Representa- 
tives in  May  last  puts 
the  lie  to  the  assertion. 
He  condemns  the  war 
and  considers  it  unjust 
and  oppressive  on  our 
part,  and  at  the  same 
lime  encourages  his  own 
son  in  raising  a  com- 
pany of  volunteers  for 
the  very  purpose  of 
prosecuting  what  he 
condemns.  O  consist- 
ency. 


PRINTERS   FOR 
THE    WAR— It   is 

stated  that  in  the  first 
Pennsylvania  regiment 
of  volunteers  there  are 
no  less  than  fifty  print- 
ers. In  every  company 
they  are  represented. 
This  looks  well  for  the 
patriotism  of  the  frater- 
nity. 


SUN'S    EXPRESS 

ENTERPRISE  OF  NEW 
YORK  PAPER. 

No  agency  has  work- 
ed such  tremendous  re- 
sults in  civilization  as 
steam.  The  transit  of 
merchandise  over  the 
water,  cr  on  the  land  is 
now  transacted  with  an 
amazing  rapidity.  Even 
Watts  himself  could  not 
have  thought  of  the  gi- 
gantic influence  he  was 
bringing  to  bear  when 
he  brought  out  his  im- 
provement. Posterity 
appreciate  his  genius, 
and  Great  Britain  is 
erecting  a  great  statue 
to  his  memory. 

Few  people  have  the 
remotest  idea  of  the 
expenses  incurred  in 
the  obtaining  of  early 
news.  Independent  of 
the  usual  mails,  and  the 
immense  outlay  for  Tel- 
egraphic  correspon- 
dence and  other  numer- 
ous sources,  the  New 
York  Sun  has  in  the 
course  of  five  years  ex- 
pended the  large  amount 
of  $20,000  in  running 
cteam  expresses.  This 
enterprise  is  one  of  the 
secrets  of  the  Sun's  suc- 
cess. 


RECALL  OF 
GEN.  TAYLOR 
It  is  confidently  stated 
by  those  whose  position 
gives  them  an  opportu- 
nity cf  knowing  what  is 
going  on  in  official  quar- 
ters, that  Gen.  Taylor 
has  been  recalled  from 
the  field  of  operations 
in  Mexico,  that  he  will 
retire  on  the  arrival  of 
Gen.  Scott  at  head- 
quarters, and  that  he 
has  been  ordered  to 
Washington  immediate- 
ly on  his  return  to  the 
United  States.  They 
go  so  far  as  to  predict 
his  arrival  here  by  the 
middle  of  February. 
For  our  country's  sake 
we  hope  that  these  giv- 
ings  out  will  prove  un- 
true.

JOHN  QUINCY  ADAMS,  whose  eloquence  and  physical  pow- 
"  ers  are  remarkable,  will  be  80  years  of  age  on  the  I  1  th  of  next 
July. 

Mr.  Adams  was  born  in  Braintree,  in  Massachusetts,  in  that  part 
of  the  town  which  has  since  been  set  off  and  incorporated  by  the 
name  of  Quincy,  on  Saturday,  July  1  1th,  I  767. 

Mr.  Adams  is  still  in  equable  health  and  vigorous,  and  walks  with 
a  short  but  firm  and  elastic  step,  and  remains  in  perfect  possession  of 
all  his  intellectual  faculties.  He  has  a  residence  in  Washington,  and 
generally  stays  there  until  May,  though  the  session  may  have  closed 
before.  In  the  summer  and  autumn  he  remains  in  his  ancestral  man- 
sion at  Quincy. 

May  he  continue  yet  many  years  in  the  land  he  has  so  long  hon- 
ored, and  go  down  to  future  time  under  that  affectionate  and  vener- 
able title,  accorded  by  his  country—"  THE  OLD  MAN  ELO- 
QUENT."

goods  imported  depend- 
ed upon  such  rates, 
when  every  tyro  in  po- 
litical economy  knows 
that  demand  and  supply 
are  the  great  regulators 
of  trade  of  all  kinds, 
foreign  and  domestic. 

Now,  it  is  a  fact 
well  known  that  the 
Tariff  of  1846  has  di- 
minished, and  it  will 
continue  to  diminish, 
the  number  of  artificers 
and  manufacturers;  for 
the  very  reason,  that, 
as  Mr.  Walker  states, 
at  lower  duties  it  por- 
duces  an  increased  rev- 
enue by  supplanting 
articles  made  at  home 
with  similar  importa- 
tions from  abroad. 

It  is  very  much  to  be 
feared  that  the  contin 


The  annexed  engrav- 
ing is  a  view  cf  an  im- 
provement in  Railroads, 
by  Robt.  Mills  Civil 
Engineer  and  Archi- 
tect, Washington,  D. 
C,  the  object  cf  which 
is  to  attain  a  very  high 
speed,  and  at  the  same 
tim?  prevent  accidents 
by  running  off  the  track, 
or  by  collisions.  Two 
trains  are  shown  run- 
ning in  opposite  direc- 
tions. 

This  plan  of  railroad 
is  proposed  for  the 
"New  Pacific  Line. " 
At  an  early  period  in 
the  history  cf  railroads 
in  the  United  States 
Mr.  Mills  turned  hir 
attention  to  this  subject, 
and  recently  hasbecome 
again  interested  in  it  by 
the  many  serious  acci- 
dents which  have  taken 
place  in  vanous  parts 
of  our  country. 

The  general  charac- 
ter of  this  plan  of  rail- 
road may  be  judged  by 
the  picturesque  view. 
It  will  be  seen  that  each 
way  consists  of  but  a 
single  track  elevatad 
above    the    ground,  so 


that  the  cars  suspended 
on  each  side  of  the 
track  will  be  so  far  ele- 
vated as  not  to  be  sub- 
ject to  the  lead  possible 
interruption.  The  cars 
instead  of  being  sup- 
ported by  the  axle,  as 
now,  are  suspended 
from  the  axle,  on  each 
side  of  the  rails,  the 
wheels  running  dupli- 
cate on  the  top  of  the 
rails,  and,  having  a 
broad  fulcrum  of  sixteen 
or  eighteen  inches  base 
to  sustain  the  cars  in 
equalibrium,  any  differ- 
ence of  the  load  on 
either  side  of  the  rails 
will  not  effect  its  verti- 
cal position ;  but  to  meet 
any  exigency  another 
rail,  one  on  each  side, 
is  placed  sideways 
against  the  upright  pil- 
lars at  the  bottom  line 
of  the  cars,  which,  by 
means  of  friction  rollers 
placed  on  the  lowest  in- 
ner edge  of  the  cars, 
will  insure  the  vertical 
position  of  the  carriage, 
and  thus  the  motion  of 
the  cars  will  be  easy  and 
free  from  change.  We 
hope  much  from  this. 


TELEGRAPHIC 
FEAT-On   the    1st 

inst.,  the  train  of  cars 
on  the  Utica  and  Al- 
bany line,  N.  Y.,  ran 
off  the  track  at  Fonda, 
when  Mr.  Porter,  of 
the  Telegraph  at  Utica, 
being  one  of  the  passen- 
gers, sprang  from  the 
car  and  cut  one  of  the 
wires,  and  sent  an  ac- 
count of  the  accident 
to  Utica. 

This  was  done  by 
grasping  the  cut  wires 
with  some  non-con- 
ducting substance  be- 
tween the  fingers,  and 
bringing  the  two  wires 
in  contact  to  complete

SILVER-  PLATE 
THAT     WEARS

No.  3050.      SILK   COVERED   CASE. 

For  some  time  there  has  been  a  demand  for  something  not  so  costly  as  our  oak  or  mahogany 
chests  of  silver  and  yet  more  elaborate  than  our  combination  sets  in  lined  boxes.  Our  new  case, 
which  is  reproduced  in  the  illustration,  we  believe  will  supply  this  long-felt  want. 

It  is  silk  covered,  a  rich  dark  green  in  color  and  very  handsome.  It  is  appropriately  lined  and 
contains  twenty-six  pieces — six  of  our  No.  12  solid  steel  knives,  six  medium  forks,  six  table  spoons, 
six  tea  spoons,  butter  knife  and  sugar  shell,  listing  complete  for  $21.50. 

The  jeweler  who  carries  a  complete  line  of  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  silver  ware  will  desire  a 
number  of  these  cases,  while  the  small  dealer  who  has  not  found  it  advisable  to  carry  our  chests 
in  stock  may  find  in  them  a  satisfactory  compromise. 


Beauty  is  one  of  the  essentials  of  silverware.  Silver  must  have  something  more  than  use- 
fulness to  recommend  it;  it  must  attract.  But  it  must  do  more  than  that.  It  must  invite 
a  close  examination  of  the  details  of  its  design.  Silver  that  bears  the  trade-mark,  "  1847 
Rogers  Bros.",   looks  well  on  the  counter   of   the   dealer   and  welcomes  critical  inspection.

Its  beauty  alone  will  not  sell  silverware.  While  some  persons  who  desire  to  purchase  have 
little  definite  "knowledge  to  guide  them,  it  is  true  that  more  and  more  the  buying  public  insists 
on  getting  goods  of  established  reputation,  guaranteed  by  well-known  trade-marks.  For  sixty 
years  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  has  been  recognized  as  standing  for  the  best  in  silver  plated  ware.

WHAT  J  847  STANDS  FOR. 

Our  object  in  publishing  The  Silver  Stand- 
ard is  to  emphasize  the  "  1847"  in  our  "  1847 
Rogers  Bros."  trade-mark.  We  shall  not 
attempt  to  deny  that  such  is  our  purpose.  We 
desire  to  lay  stress  upon  the  fact  that  1847  was 
fifty-nine  years  ago;  that  in  that  year  the 
process  of  electro-silver 
plating  was  discovered  by 
Rogers  Bros.,  and  that 
the  fifty-nine  years  of  exist- 
ence between  1847  and 
1906  have  been  years  of 
growth  and  progress. 

Now,  a  man  may  live 
to  be  sixty  years  old  and 
be  able  to  show  little 
or  no  reason — so  far  as  his 
value  to  the  world  goes — 
why  he  should  live  a  sin- 
gle year  longer.  Thatisn  t 
the  case,  and  from  the 
very  nature  of  things  can't 
be  the  case,  with  a  busi- 
ness. If  a  man  fails  to 
"make  good,"  if  he  can't 
take  care  of  himself,  some- 


"  It  shows  what  advertising  will  do,"  perhaps 
you  say.  But  it  does  n't.  Advertising  is  an 
important  part  of  modern  business  methods, 
but  its  importance  does  not  compare  with  the 
importance  of  keeping  the  goods  advertised  up 
to  the  recognized  standard,  the  result  of  honest 
material  and  skilled  workmanship. 

Advertising  will  sell  goods,  but  no  amount 
of  advertising  will  continue  their  sale  if  they 
prove  unworthy.  Silverware  bearing  the 
"1847  Rogers  Bros."  trade-mark  has  been 
sold  for  almost  sixty  years,  and — what  is  espe- 
cially significant — the  demand  has  been  con- 
stantly increasing,  so  that  in  1905  more  "  1847 
Rogers  Bros."  goods  were  sold  than  ever 
before. 

That  in  brief  is  what  1847  means  to  us, 
and  we  publish  The  Silver  Standard  for  the 
purpose  of  calling  attention  to  the  significance 
of  the  date.  But  The  Standard  means  more 
than  a  mere  finger  post.     We  take  a  very  gen- 


body  else  will  look  out  for  him.  As  a  last 
resort,  the  almshouse  or  the  jail  will  be  re- 
quired to  do  it.  If  a  business  fails  to  "make 
good,"  it  dies. 

Mere  existence  for  sixty  years  means  a  great 
deal.  Existence  with  ever-growing  reputation 
means  infinitely  more.  Every  year  finds  the 
reputation  of  "  1847  Rogers  Bros."  decidedly 
enhanced. 

The  buying  public  have  been  taught  by 
experience  to  look  for  the  trade-mark.  They 
have  come  to  realize  that  all  "Rogers"  goods 
are  not  "  1847  Rogers  Bros."  goods.  They 
appreciate  the  significance  of  the  complete 
trade-mark. 


uine  pleasure  in  its  publication,  none  the  less 
that  it  requires  time,  thought  and  energy.  For 
one  thing,  it  stands  for  an  amount  of  research 
the  extent  of  which  might  surprise  one  unaccus- 
tomed to  such  matters. 

We  have  striven  to  make  The  Standard 
sufficiently  broad  in  scope  and  accurate  in  de- 
tail to  depict,  in  some  degree  at  least,  condi- 
tions as  they  existed  in  1847  and  the  period 
covering  the  last  of  the  first  half  and  the  be- 
ginning of  the  second  half  of  the  nineteenth 
century — an  interesting  and  important  chapter 
in  our  history,  marked  by  acquisition  of  new  ter- 
ritory and  by  progress  along  industrial,  scien- 
tific and  literary  lines. 


SPRINKLER 

BARREL-LIKE  AFFAIR  THAT  LAID 

THE  DUST  ON  STREETS 

IN  1847  PERIOD, 

A  water  sprinkler  may  afford  a  somewhat 
homely  illustration  of  the  progress  made  during 
the  years  since  1847,  nevertheless  we  believe 
the  accompanying  illustrations  will  prove  of 
general  interest.  One  represents  a  sprinkler 
invented  by  Mr.  J.  D.  Price,  of  Smithsburg, 
Washington  Co.,  Maryland,  and  secured  to 
him  by  patent.     It  is  described  as  follows : 

"  The  machine  consists  of  a  water  vessel  by 
which  the  water  is  carried  and  from  which  it 
is  drawn  by  force  pumps;  the  latter  being 
operated  by  the  revolving 
vessel,  expelling  the  water 
in  a  shower  through  nu- 
merous perforations  in  a 
curved  pipe  at  the  hinder 
end  of  the  machine,  thus 
sprinkling  a  broad  strip 
of  ground  as  the  machine 
is  drawn  forward. 

"The  water  vessel  is 
most  conveniently  built  like 
a  cask  for  holding  liquids, 
of  staves  suitably  hooped 
upon  two  heads. 

"  The  water  vessel  is 
furnished  with  a  bung  hole 
through  which  it  can  be 
filled,  the  connecting  rods 
are  disengaged  from  their 
crank  pins  and  the  machine 
drawn  to  the  place  where 
the  water  is  to  be  sprinkled.  The  connecting 
rods  are  then  put  in  gear,  and  as  the  machine 
is  drawn  forward,  the  pump  pistons  being  driv- 
en by  the  revolving  vessel,  eject  the  water  forci- 
bly through  the  perforations  in  the  curved  pipe 
to  a  considerable  distance  on  each  side  of  the 
machine. 

"This  machine,  from  the  simplicity  of  its 
parts  and  its  efficiency  is  particularly  applica- 
ble to  the  watering  of  the  streets  of  cities,  and 
as  the  water  which  constitutes  the  great  weight 
of  the  machine  is  rolled  forward  in  the  revolv- 
ing vessel  but  comparatively  little  power  is 
required  to  perform  the  work." 

The  lower  cut  shows  an  up-to-date  ma- 
chine, the  electric  car  sprinkler,  in  operation. 

While  our  grandfathers  may  have  been  as 
well  off  as  we  are  along  some  lines,  in  the 
matter  of  street  sprinklers  their  equipment  cer- 
tainly was  a  bit  primative. 

Even  the  old  fashioned  "sprinkling  cart," 
which  the  electric  car  has  not  yet  wholly 
driven  from  the  field,  is  considerably  ahead  of 
the  low,  bairel-like  affair  invented  over  half  a 
century  ago. 

In  its  humble  way  the  modern  sprinkler 
typifies  the  advancement  made  in  the  mechan- 
ical world  since  1847. 


In  1847  there  were  about  1,555  news- 
papers and  periodicals  in  the  United  States. 
To-day  there  are  nearly  21,600  newspapers, 
about  2,300  being  dailies.

CHICAGO 


"There  are  four  daily  and  seven  weekly, 
one  semi-monthly,  and  two  monthly  news- 
papers published  in  Chicago." 

Another  magazine  of  the  period,  "Glea- 
son's  Pictorial,"  printed  the  following: 

"Unlike  the  majority  of  our  lake  cities, 
there  is  but  little  in  the  situation  of  Chicago 
which  would  seem  to  recommend  it  to  the 
founders  of  a  city.  It  lies  on  the  edge  of  a 
broad  and  extensive  prairie,  broken  by  scarce- 
ly a  stray  knoll  or  scattered  rising.

GLANCE   AT  THE   CITY  AS    IT 

WAS  IN  1847  AND  A  LOOK 

INTO  THE  FUTURE. 

That    we    should    find    a    striking   contrast 
between  the  Chicago  of  to-day  and  the  city  of 

1847  is  to  be  expected.      The  true  Chicagoan  amends  for  the  natural  flatness  and  uniformity 

thinks  of  his  city's   phenomenal  growth  with  of  the  situation  in  which  Chicago  is  placed.

people  themselves,  the  two  pictures  on  this  page  dwellings,  and  there  a  square  lies  back  from  it 
will    prove  of  interest. 


One  shows  the  Lab 
Front  as  it  appeared 
more  than  half  a  cen- 
tury ago,  while  the  low- 
er cut  gives  an  idea  of 
the  Lake  Front  of  to- 
day, with  the  Audito- 
rium and  Annex  in  the 
foreground. 

Even  back  in  1847 
Chicago  was  no  "mean 
city."  Great  things  were 
expected  of  her.  "  Fish- 
er's National  Maga- 
zine," a  publication  of 
that  time,  speaks  of  her 
as  follows : 

"Among  the  towns 
and  cities  of  the  western 
country  whose  magic 
rise,  progress,  and  rapid 
development  during  the 
brief  space  of  a  few 
years  have  excited  the 
astonishment  not  only  of  our  own  countrymen, 
but  enlisted  great  interest  abroad,  the  city  of 
Chicago,  the  principal  commercial  town  of 
Illinois,  may  be  pointed  to,  as  challenging  the 
history  of  our  whole  country  for  a  parallel, 
considering  the  short  time  since  it  emerged 
from  the  chrysalis  condition  of  a  trading  post, 
and  became  the  city  it  now  is. 

"  Chicago  is  situated  on  the  southwestern 
border  of  Lake  Michigan,  in  Cook  County, 
and  is  the  eastern  terminus  of  the  Illinois  and 
Michigan  Canal.  Its  site  is  level,  yet  with 
sufficient  elevation  to  secure  it  against  the  dan- 
gers of  inundation  from  the  waters  of  the  lake, 
its  harbour  is  good,  and  the  country  in  every 
direction  around  it  considered  the  finest  in  the 
West.  Rolling  prairies  of  the  most  fertile 
description  commence  within  a  few  miles  of 
the  city. 

"  There  are  fourteen  religious  societies  and 
associations,  and  seven  churches.  There  is, 
also,  a  medical  college,  a  Young  Men's  Asso- 


and  navigable  canal  which  contains  the  ship- 
ping, which  already  turns  into  Chicago  a  great 
portion,  if  not  nearly  the  whole,  of  the  com- 
merce of  the  lake.  This,  however,  is  scanty, 
as  railroads  have  been  gradually  linking  this 
city  with  every  part  of  the  Union,  and  making 
it  one  of  the  great  centers  of  Western  traffic." 
Today  this  city  of  "nearly  or  quite  17,000," 
not  content  with  her  wonderful  growth  (the 
last  census  gave  her  1,698,575  inhabitants)  is 
suspected  of  dreaming  dreams  and  seeing  visions 
in  which  she  is  to  play  a  still  more  wonderful 
role.  According  to  a  Chicago  correspondent  of 
a  prominent  New  York  publication,  "the  time 
is  less  than  a  generation  distant  when  the  Cen- 
tral West  will  have  votes  enough  to  disre- 
gard the  East.  When  that  time  comes  the  Na- 
tional Government  will  be  instructed  to  build 
the  30- foot  channel  from  the  Great  Lakes 
to  the  sea,  the  plans  for  which  are  already 
drawn,  not  to  bring  in  but  to  take  out  its  pro- 
ducts. Lake  Michigan 
will  thus  be  made  prac- 
tically an  arm  of  the  sea, 
and  then  Chicago  ex- 
pects to  become  the- 
metropolis  of  the 
world." 

The  correspondent 
continues : 

"  People  talk  today 
of  billions  as  glibly  as 
they  spoke  of  millions 
a  decade  ago.  Yet 
even  so,  it  rather  takes 
one's  breath  away  to 
be  told  that  Chicago's 
wholesale  trade  last 
year  aggregated 
$1,481,000,000— an 
increase  of  300  per  cent, 
in  three  years  ;  that  the 
live  stock  sales  footed 
up  $300,000,000  more, 
and  that    the  value  of

Fellows,  and  an  Independent  Order  of  Rec-  j  future  day,  the  walk  promises  to  make  Chicago 
hibites.  The  military  and  fire  departments  are  I  one  of  the  fairest  of  the  numerous  cities  which

"A  Hydraulic  Company  supplies  the  city  j       "A  stream  which  runs  into  the  lake  at  one

aggregated  $1,314,000,000,  making  a  grand 
total  of  $3,095,000,000  as  the  amount  of  the 
year's  business." 

Such  is  the  Chicago  of  1906 — "the  princi- 
pal commercial  town  of  Illinois"  in  1847;  the 
town  with  "four  daily,  seven  weekly,  one  semi- 
monthly and  two  monthly  newspapers." 


This  is  a  reading  age  and  it  is  a  busy  age.  These  two  facts  combine  to  make  adver- 
tising a  very  important  element  in  the  mercantile  world — and  in  the  selling  of  silverware. 
The  dealer  who  sells  "  1847  Rogers  Bros."  goods  is  helped  by  the  makers'  extensive 
round-the-year  advertising  in  over  five  hundred  daily,   weekly,    and   monthly   publications.

Beauty,  reputation  or  advertising,  or  the  three  combined,  might  induce  a  purchase  of  silver- 
ware— once.  But  there  must  be  something  more  than  these  to  effect  repeated  sales.  Every 
dealer  knows  what  this  "  something  more  "  is  and,  therefore,  why  it  is  that  we  emphasize  the 
fact  that  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  is  not  wanting  in  the  final  test  but  is  "Silver  Plate  that  Wears."

T^HE  railroad  seat  improvement  as  shown  is  the  invention  of  C.  P. 
1  Bailey,  of  Zanesville,  Ohio,  who  has  taken  measures  to  secure 
a  patent  for  same. 

The  chair  has  two  backs,  one  for  each  passsenger  on  the  seat,  as  is 
now  the  custom  with  railroad  chairs.  The  leading  features  of  it,  how- 
ever, are  quite  different  from  the  common  railroad  chairs,  the  backs 
of  which  fold  ever  on  pivotted  levers,  while  the  backs  of  this  chair  do 
not  fold  over  at  all. 

It  has  the  same  advantages,  however,  as  the  folding  back,  and 
embraces  some  others.  When  it  is  desired  that  the  backs  of  this  chair 
should  be  changed  from  one  side  to  the  other  of  the  seat,  according  to 
the  direction  of  the  train,  or  for  any  other  reaton,  they  are  merely 
pushed  horizontally. 


A  jcumalict  has  dis- 
covered that,  all  things 
considered,  railways 
are  very  slow  and  be- 
hind the  age.  He  says, 
that  when  he  travels  he 
blushes  to  think  the

OMNIBUS  BUSI- 
NFSS  IN  NEW 
YORK-This  is    a 

branch  of  business  tne 
extent  of  which  is 
scarcely  to  be  imagined. 
It  engages  the  attention 
of  eighteen  firms,  with 
an  aggregate  capital  of 
$730,000.  The  great- 
est number  of  coaches 
run  by  any  one  of  the 
establishments  is  forty 
— the  smallest  is  two. 
There  are  326  coaches 
in  all,  the  annual  license 
money  of  which 
amounts  to  $5,9 1 9. 

The  number  of  per- 
sons regularly  employed 
is  over  800  besides  the 
work  given  to  hun- 
dreds of  artificers  in 
coach  factories  in  build- 
ing new  vehicles.  It  is 
estimated  that  the  re- 
pairs put  on  every  om- 
nibus before  it  is  finally 
condemned,  cost  more 
than  its  original  price. 
The  iron  tires  of  the 
wheels  are  an  inch 
thick,  and  yet  they 
need  renewing  every 
two  months. 

Is  there  not  a  most 
lucrative  field  here  for 
investments  in  an  Ele- 
vated Railway?

STEAMERS  AT 
JERSEY    CiTY- 

Many  readers  will  be 
gratified  to  learn,  as 
we  do  from  the  proper 
authority,  that  the  Hon. 
Samuel  Cunard,  and 
others,  contractors  with 
the  Lord  Commission- 
ers of  the  British  Ad- 
miralty for  the  convey- 
ance of  the  mails  be- 
tween Liverpool  and 
New  York,  have  at 
length  made  arrange- 
ments to  make  Jersey 
City  the  terminus  of  a 
line  of  steam  packets. 

The  associates  of  the 
Ferry  Company  have 
contracted  to  erect 
wharves  and  to  build 
storehouses  for  that  pur- 
pose; and  these  packet; 
will  consequently  land 
and  receive  their  car- 
goes at  that  place.  Not- 
withstanding the  great 
outlay  of  money  for 
docks,    &c.     say    from 

$60,000  to   $70,000 

— it  is  thought  to  be  a 
good  investment  for  the 
company,  and  we  rea- 
sonably anticipate  from 
the  arrangement  decid- 
ed advantage  for  this 
flourishing  community.

A  CHIFFONIER. 


OH,    LADIES! 

A  writer  on  America, 
in  an  English  periodical 
says: — "  We  admired, 
as  every  one  must,  the 
pretty  faces  and  figures 
of  the  New  York  ladies. 
But  it  is  a  pity  that 
they  follow  the  abomi- 
nable practice  of  chew- 
ing the  gum  of  the 
spruce  fir,  which  no 
doubt  is  the  cause  of 
the  early  loss  of  their 
teeth.  It  is  a  most  un- 
becoming habit.  The 
jaw  is  kept  in  perpetual 
motion,  like  that  of  a 
cow  ruminating." 
Ladies,  do  you  chew?

some  tires  of  carriages 
have  been  made  in  that 
city  of  gutta  percha. 
In  our  opinion  no  tire 
can  equal  one  made 
of  iron.

tions, and  who  is  be-

It  is  a  wonder,  and  the

TO  BURN  COAL 

LOCOMOTIVES  BUILT 

FOR  THAT  FUEL. 

Mr.  Winans,  of  Bal- 
timore, an  eminent  en- 
gineer, has  lately  con- 
structed twolocomotives 
for  the  Reading  Rail- 
road, which  have  been 
built  expressly  to  bum 
anthracite  coal.  We 
have  been  informed 
that  they  give  great  sat- 
isfaction to  the  com- 
pany. This  is  a  ver.r 
important  improvement 
on  the  furnaces,  as  it 
will  enable  them  to  use 
fuel  of  one-fourth  the 
price  of  wood  and  will 
be  a  great  saving. 

We  can  see  no  diffi- 
culty in  the  way  of  the 
general  use  of  coal  in 
the  place  of  wood.  It 
is  but  a  few  years  since 
our  engineers  on  the 
North  River  thought  it 
impossible  to  dispense 
with  their  pitch  pine 
firewood,  and  that  it 
would  take  a  week  to 
go  to  Albany  from  New 
York  with  coal,  but 
what  has  been  the  re- 
sult of  the  change? 
Why,  quicker  trips 
have  been  made  this 
season  than  ever  before 
on  the  Hudson.  We 
do  not  say  that  this  is 
all  the  result  of  substi- 
tuting coal  for  wood, 
but  it  proves  that  no 
diminution  of  speed  has 
resulted  from  the 
change.  Where  wood 
is  cheap,  it  is  to  be  pre- 
ferred as  a  fuel,  as  there 
will  not  be  such  a  wear 
of  pipes  and  heating 
surface,  an  important 
consideration  undoubt- 
edly in  locomotives. 

"All  the  wrong  of 
the  war — all  the  evil  of 
it-  all  the  sorrow  it  may 
occasion  belongs  to  Mr. 
Polk,"  says  the  Boston 
Atlas.  What  a  vile 
slander  upon  Mr.  Polk! 
The  journal  of  the  Sen- 
ate and  the  House  of 
Representatives  of  May 
last  shows  that  40  out 
42  of  the  former  and 
173  out  of  187  of  the 
latter  voted  that  the 
war  existed  by  the  acts 
of  Mexico.  And  now 
the  Atlas  and  the  Fed- 
eralists charge  it  en- 
tirely to  Mr.  Polk. 


A  tombstone  in  Jer- 
sey bears  the  following 
epitaph:  '  Died  of  thin 
shoes,  January,  1839." 
A  truthful  epitaph  we 
have  no  doubt. 


APRIL. 

Lie  in  bed  all  this 
month  for  fear  of  being 
made  an  April  fool  of. 
Many  things  happen  in 
April.  A  good  month  to 
receive  a  legacy  in,  but 
don  t  reject  a  small  one. 
Avoid  bonnet-shops.  A 
bad  month  to  be  bank- 
rupt in.

MERIDEN    SILVER    POLISH 

Almost  as  important  as  the  selection  of  the  right  brand  of  ware  is  the 
choice  of  the  Silver  Polish.  With  proper  care  silver  plated  ware  should  retain 
its  beauty  and  usefulness  for  many  years,  but  the  right  kind  of  Polish  is 
absolutely  essential. 

There  are  polishes  that  remove  tarnish  quickly,  but  injure  the  goods  and 
leave  no  lustre.  Others  leave  a  lustre  by  sacrificing  the  silver  and  do  not 
clean  quickly.  Still  others  will  clean  ordinary  silver  in  regular  use  quickly, 
but  spoil  the  lustre  on  the  new  goods. 

Every  dealer  should  have  for  sale  Meriden  Silver  Polish,  which,  unlike 
any  other,  is  so  balanced  in  its  chemical  mixture  that  it  cleans  quickly  and 
without  damage  all  classes  of  silverware,   leaving  in  each  case  a  beautiful  lustre. 

This  preparation  is  neither  a  hard  soap  nor  a  loose  powder,  but  is  in  a  thick 
paste  form,  holding  an  even  consistency,  and  always  convenient  for  use.  It  is 
put  up  in  attractively  decorated  metal  boxes,  and  enclosed  in  handsomely  printed 
wrappers,   embossed  in  gold,   and  packed  one  dozen  in  a  carton. 

The  fact  that  we  recommend  this  Polish  is  a  guarantee  that  we  consider 
it  the  best  preparation  ever  produced  for  the  purpose  intended.

SAN  FRANCISCO 

THE  YERBA  BUENA  OF  1847 

AND  THE  CITY  AS  IT  APPEARS 

IN  THE  YEAR  1906, 

It  was  in  1 847  that  Yerba  Buena  ("Good 
Herb")  became  known  as  San  Francisco. 
There  were  in  that  year  "  some  500  inhabi- 
tants— 450  probably  Americans  and  300  of 
these  Mormons."  It  was  also  in  1 847  that  the 
"  Sons  of  New  England  "  met  at  the  house 
of  Mr.  Lincoln  in  Yerba  Buena,  where  pub- 
lic worship  was  performed,  followed  by  a 
"  New  England  dinner  " —  the  first  public 
observance  of  Thanksgiving  Day  in  California. 
"  There  are  now  eight  American  newspapers 
regularly  published  in 
Mexico,  viz:  *  *  * 
one  at  Monterey 
(California),  and  a 
Mormon  paper  at 
Yerba  Buena,"  re- 
marked a  paper 
printed  in  May,  1847. 
The  total  value  of 
exports  for  the  quarter 
ending  December  3  1 , 
1 847,  amounted  to 
$49,597.53;  the  value 
cf  imports  for  the  same 
period  was  $53,589- 
.73.  "  Yerba  Buena 
will  assuredly  be  a 
great  commercial  em- 
porium," declared  a 
letter  writer  in  1847. 
Said  Hunt's  Maga- 
zine :  "From  its  posi- 
tion and  extent  the 
city  and  port  must  be- 
come the  depot  of  all 
the  produce  of  the 
great  rivers  and  val- 
leys. It  will  also  be- 
come the  great  naval  station  of  the  Pacific. 
The  rapidity  of  the  growth  of  this  place, 
we  are  confident  in  stating,  will  far  sur- 
pass that  of  our  most  prosperous  western 
cities." 

At  the  beginning  of  the  present  year  San 
Francisco's  population  numbered  500,000 
and  at  the  present  ratio  of  increase  it  will 
reach  three  quarters  of  a  million  by  the  time 
the  next  national  census  is  taken.  Bank 
clearings  in  1905  amounted  to  $  1 ,834,549,- 
788;  real  estate  sales,  $74,926,065;  build- 
ing contracts,  $21,941,595;  imports,  $44,- 
339,611;  exports,  $64,918,505;  tonnage 
in  harbor,  6,200,000  tons. 

Three  trans-continental  railroads  reach 
San  Francisco  and  another  is  in  process  of 
construction.  The  Pacific  cable  connects 
with  all  Oriental  ports. 

1  he  view  of  Yerba  Buena  given  above  is 
certified  to  be  "a  faithful,  accurate  represen- 
tation as  it  really  appeared  in  March, 
1847."  The  lower  picture  shows  the  San 
Francisco  of  to-day,  looking  toward  the  bay 
instead  of  from  it,  as  is  the  case  in  the

COTTON 


THE  SOUTH,  BACK  IN  1847, 

WAS  MAKING  A  NAME  IN 

MANUFACTURES, 

We  hear  much,  these  days,  about  the  "new 
South" — new  industrially.  But  is  the  indus- 
trial South  so  new,  after  all?  Is  it  not  the  re- 
vivified rather  than  the  "new"  South?  When 
we  begin  to  look  for  facts  and  figures  in  the 
history  of  cotton  manufactures,  for  instance,  we 
come  upon  some  very  interesting  information 
along  that  line.  Statistics  are  often  dry  and 
cotton  statistics,  from  the  nature  of  the  ma  irial 
with  which  they  deal,  may  be  regarded  as 
even  dryer  than  the  ordinary,  but,  swallowing 


1847,  declared:  "There  is  at  this  moment  an 
energy  in  the  investment  of  capital  for  manu- 
facturing purposes  in  the  Southern  states  which 
will  soon  place  the  South  in  a  position  per- 
fectly independent  of  the  Northern  states  or 
Europe,  for  the  supply  of  at  least  the  coarse 
and  medium  styles  of  cotton  goods.  Factories 
are  springing  up  in  every  Southern  state." 

The  paper  then  goes  on  to  speak  of  a  factory 
in  progress  of  erection  at  Charleston  which  was 
to  contain  3,000  spindles  and  100  looms, 
the  machinery  to  be  driven  by  steam  power. 

"The  South  will  shortly  make  all  her  own 
cotton  cloth,"  the  Scientific  American  con- 
tinues, "and  we  may  yet  see  the  time  when 
the  cotton  shall  only  leave  the  plantation  in 
the  form  of  cloth.  *  *  *  We  may  with- 
out any  prophetic  claims  advise  our  Northern 
manufacturers  to  look  more  to  investments  in 
woolen  manufactures.  From  different  sources 
we  have  accounts  of  the  great  activity  in  the

within  a  few  years,  and  her  capitalists  and 
men  of  enterprise  are  directing  their  energies 
to  the  development  of  the  real  resources  of 
that  section  of  the  Union.  Millions  of  dollars 
have  been  invested  in  manufacturing  establish- 
ments, and  other  millions  will  soon  take  the 
same  direction. 

"Little  Delaware,  we  are  assured,  has 
already  a  greater  number  of  manufacturing 
establishments,  in  proportion  to  her  population, 
than  any  other  state  in  the  Union.  Maryland 
has  invested  $45,000,000,  and  soon  will  have 
railroads  in  operation  to  the  extent  of  five  hun- 
dred miles.  North  Carolina  has  five  hundred 
miles  of  railroads  completed  or  in  progress — 
while  even  in  South  Carolina,  where,  until  re- 
cently, manufacturers  were  ridiculed  or  de- 
nounced, several  extensive  factories  are  now 
in  active  progress  and  successful  operation. 

"Florida,  young  as  she  is,  has  $4,000,000 

invested  in  railroads  and  manufactories  —  while 

Georgia    has   invested  $5  5,000,000   and 

lias    upwards  of  seventy   cotton  factories    in 

the  full  tide  of  successful  experiment. 

"Alabama,  Mississippi,  Missouri,  Arkan- 
sas, Kentucky  and  Tennessee,  are  also  ani- 
mated by  the  same  spirit.  Mississippi  has 
fifty-three  cotton  factories,  while  Missouri  has 
invested  in  internal  improvements,  mines  and 
manufactories  the  enormous  sum  of  $85,000,- 
000." 

In  1851  North  Carolina  had  thirty-eight 
mills  in  operation,  consuming  annually  20,- 
000  bales  of  cotton,  turning  out  manufactured 
product  valued  at  $83 1 ,000.  The  same 
year  Georgia  had  thirty-five  mills,  capital, 
$1,735,000;  operating  60,000  spindles  and 
consuming  20,230  bales  per  annum.  South 
Carolina  had  eighteen  mills,  consuming  10,- 
000  bales,  capital  invested,  $857,000;  Ten- 
nessee, thirty  factories,  30,000  spindles,  700 
looms,  consuming  15,000  bales;  Alabama, 
twelve  factories,  15,580  spindles,  300  looms, 
consuming  5,000  bales. 

De  Bow's  "  Industrial  Resources  of  the 
South  and  West"  for  1852  quotes  a  speaker 
at  "the  last  fair  of   the  American  Institute  at 


all  prejudices,  a  plunge  into  the  figures  be- 
low we  believe  will  prove  of  considerable 
profit  to  the  reader. 

According  to  the  Baltimore  Manufac- 
turers' Record,  there  was,  last  year,  capital 
amounting  to  $225,000,000  invested  in 
cotton  mills  in  the  South ;  there  were 
9,205,949  spindles  and  2,163,000  cotton 
bales  were  used.  These  figures  do  indeed 
indicate,  as  is  claimed  for  them,  "an  enor- 
mous upbuilding  and  great  prosperity"  of 
the  Southland.  But  back  in  1847  the 
Industrial  Giant  was  beginning  to  stretch 
himself  and  awake  to  the  great  possibilities 
before  him.  The  American  Quarterly 
Register  of  that  time  speaks  of  eight  large 
cotton  manufactories  in  South  Carolina, 
while  in  Georgia  there  were  thirty-two 
cotton  factories  in  operation,  employing  in 
their  building  and  working  $2,000,000  and 
3,000  hands ;  the  value  of  goods  turned  out 
being  $1,500,000! 

A  Georgia  paper  in  184  7  predicted 
that  "Georgia  and  Tennessee  are  destined 
to  become  the  great  manufacturing  states  of 
the  South,  if  not  of  the  Union." 

The  Scientific  American  of   November  13, 


erection  of  cotton  factories  in  old  Vir- 
ginia, Georgia  and  Alabama,  and  we  perceive 
by  the  Franklin,  La.,  Banner  that  good  ma- 
chinists, blacksmiths,  coopers  and  mechanics 
of  every  description  are  wanted  to  come  and 
settle  there." 

The  same  paper,  two  years  later  printed 
the  following  : 

"The    South    has    indeed    roused     herself 


New  York"  to  the  effect  that  there  are  "  said 
to  be  upwards  of  250  cotton  mills  south  of 
Mason  and  Dixon's  line." 

While  the  industrial  awakening  of  recen 
years  is  so  great  that  the  name,  "the  new 
South,"  may  be  justified,  it  is  well  to  remem- 
ber that  the  South  sixty  yeais  ago  had  begun 
what  then  promised  to  be  a  wonderful  career 
of  prosperity.

audience.  It  is  true  that  all 
these  fifteen  million  will  not

JUNE.  1847. 


MAIL  STEAMER 

FIRST  AMERICAN 
VESSEL  OF  KIND. 

The  Washington, 
the  first  of  a  class  of 
American  steamers,  is 
t  o  commence  sailing  be- 
tween  New  York  and 
Europe  this  week.  She 
is  230  feet  deck,  39 
feel  beam,  30  1-2  feet 
hold,  and  measures  2,- 
000  tons  burden.  She 
has  three  decks  fore  and 
aft;  first  and  second 
cabins,  grand  saloon, 
spar  deck  and  mail 
room.  Herenginesare 
72  inch  cylinders  and 
10  feel  stroke.  Her 
boilers  are  capable  of 
sustaining  the  extraordi- 
nary pressure  of  30 
pounds  to  the  square 
inch. 

Whether  it  be  for  the 
beauty  of  her  finish,  the 
strength  of  her  material 
or  the  arrangement  of 
all  her  parts  we  venture 
to  say  that  she  is  the 
most  splendid  steamer 
afloat.  On  her  experi- 
mental trip,  she  attained 
the  wonderful  speed  of 
1 6  knots  an  hour. 

The  figure  head  is  a 
full  length  statue  of 
Washington  and  when 
this  majestic  vessel 
reaches  old  England  s 
chalky  coast,  the  people 
wili  look  upon  the  star- 
spangled  banner  which 
so  often  floated  victori- 
ous where  the  "Father 
of  his  Country"  led, 
and  as  they  gaze  upon 
his  image  and  upon  the 
noble  vessel  which  bears 
his  name,  they  will 
forcibly  feel  that  he  who 
was  First  in  War  was 
also  First  in  Peace. 

MARSHAL 

AND    CLAY- 

Thomas  F.  Marshal  of 
Kentucky  was  the 
leader  of  the  mob  thai 
destroyed  or  removed 
the  press  of  Cassius  M . 
Clay.  They  are  now 
both  captains  of  volun- 
teer companies  in  Mex- 
ico, and  are  said  to  be 
on  the  most  friendly 
and  intimate  terms. 

GREAT  PRO- 
JECTS-Three  of  the 
greatest  projects  in  con- 
templation at  present 
are  a  canal  across  the 
Isthmus  of  Darien; 
another  across  the  Isth- 
mus of  Suez,  connecting 
the  waters  of  the  Medi- 
terranean with  those  of 
the  Red  Sea;  and  third, 
a  railroad  from  Lake 
Michigan  to  the  Pacific 
Ocean.  The  com- 
pletion of  either  cf  these 
would  constitute  an  im- 
portant era  in  the  history 
of  trade  and  commerce. 


HOW  DANDIES 
ARE  MADE-This 
is  a  grave  question,  for 
fops  are  like  veal  pies — 
in  the  opinion  of  the 
waggish  Weller  —  the 
crust  may  be  rather  re- 
spectable, but  the  mak- 
ing up  of  the  interior  is 
"werry  duberous." 
Exquisites  at  this  pres- 
ent writing,  are  a  con- 
glomeration of  lank  legs, 
hairy  heads  and  creamy 
countenances.  Such 
are  their  natural  pecul- 
iarities. But  it  is  evi- 
dent that  in  considering 
the  subject,  the  great 
topic  of  inquiry  is, 
What  is  a  dandy  rar- 
torially?  Here  descrip- 
tion will  proclaim  him 
to  be  a  being  stuck  into 
tight  trousers,  ditto  coat 
and  vest,  ditto  boots, 
not  so  much  ditto  over- 
coat, and  crowned  with 
a  cylindrical  structure  of 
felt,  which  is  called  a 
ffet.  Mentally  the  sub- 
ject of  dandyism  offers 
little  field  for  remark, 
because  the  weakness 
which  distinguishes  the 
unfortunate  class  of  our 
fellow  citizens  now  un- 
der consideration  is 
caused  by  natural  im- 
becility and  want  of 
common  sense. 

The  clothing  of  an 
exquisite  is  a  work  of 
lime  and  science.  We 
can  imagine  how  much 
of  the  labor  is  done. 
One  serious  question 
is  how  does  he  manage 
to  tie  those  huge  bows 
in  his  cravat,  which 
stand  out  below  his  chin . 
giving  h.m  thereabout 
the  appearance  of  a 
cherubim,  all  head  and 
wings?  What  a  work 
of  fixing  there  must  be 
before  he  gets  the  knot 
exactly  right!  What 
gazing  into  the  mirror — 
what  pulling  of  ends — 
what  twisting  of  folds 
—  what  tying  and  un- 
tying! Everything 
must  be  just  so.  There 
must  be  no  wrinkles  — 
all  must  be  smooth  and 
"ship-shape,"  or  the 
dandy  so  remiss  upon 
this  subject  would  be 
avoided  forever  by  his 
associates. 


DANDIES. 


CHANGES  IN 
FASHION-Few 

persons  are  aware  of 
the  changes  that  are 
continually  taking  place 
in  trade  and  commerce. 
Witness  the  following: 

Mr.  Sturges,  of  Bos- 
ton, in  a  lecture  deliv- 
ered some  two  or  three 
years  ago  on  Trade  and 
Finances,  referred  also 
to  the  singular  changes 
in  fashion. 

Nankeens,  said  he, 
were  once  imported  in 
large  quantities.  As 
late  as  1820 
there  was  one 
million  dollars 
worth  imported; 
now  there  is 
none. 

In  1 806  Can - 
i  ton  crape  was 
first  used;  in 
1810  ten  cases 
were  imported; 
in  18!  6  there 
were  12,000 
pieces;  in  1826 
the  importations 
amounted  to  a 
million  and  a 
half  of  dollars; 
and  in  1 844  the 
article  was  not 
imported.  Yet 
the  country  has 
lost  nothing  by  _ 
this  caprice  of 
fashion,  as  our  country- 
women appear  as  lovely 
in  nine-penny  calico  as 
in  Canton  crape, 


Silk  was  once  im- 
ported in  large  quanti- 
ties from  China;  a  car- 
go of  nearly  a  million 
dollars  worth  was  once 
landed  in  this  country; 
and  now  the  whole 
yearly  importation  from 
China  amounts  to  less 
than  $100,000. 

Great  changes  also 
have  taken  place  in  re- 
gard to  the  pay  of  our 
CI  inese   importations. 

In  1818,  $7,000,000 

in   specie   were  carried 
to  China,  but   now  our 


commenced  in  1787; 
and  in  1 802  there  were 
fifteen  American  ves- 
sels engaged  in  it,  and 
now  it  has  ceased  alto- 
gether. It  all  goes  to 
show  the  fickleness  of 
Dame  Fashion. 

The  Pittsburg  Gaz- 
ette gives  a  statement 
of  an  exceedingly  deli- 
cate operation  perform- 
ed by  M.  Brooks  the 
telegraphic  operator  in 
that  city.  This  con- 
sisted of   writing  out  a 

long     message 

from  the  sound 
alone.  The 
writing  stile 
being  out  of  or- 
der, it  was  nec- 
essary to  remove 
and  repair  it,  bat 
by  the  slight 
"  tick "  of  the 
magnet  every 
I  etter  was  dis- 
tinguished and 
every  word  cor- 
rectly reported 
during  the  whole 
day. 


AMERICAN 
CHAMPAGNE- 
Mr.  Longworth  of  Cin- 
cinnati, states  that  he 
has  made  from  his  last 
season's  vintage  of  Ca- 
tawba grapes  6,000 
botdes  of  champagne, 
which  promises  to  be 
of  a  superior  quality, 
and  will  be  fit  for  use 
the  next  year. 

A  gendeman  in  New 
York,  who  spent  the  last 
summer  in  Cincinnati, 
and  who  is,  or  has  the 
title  to  be,  as  good  a 
judge  of  champagne 
wine  as  any  gendeman 
in  the  land,  informs  us 
that  beside  Mr.  Long- 
worth's  there  are  several 
other  extensive  vine- 
yards in  the  vicinity  of 
Cincinnati;  that  the 
oroprietors  of  several  of 
them  have  obtained 
wine-makers  from  the 
champagne  dis- 
trict in  France,  and 
that  they  now  produce 
champagne  on  the 
banks  of  the  Ohio  fully 
equal  to  any  French 
article;  that  he  drank  at 
different  tables  this  do- 
mestic champagne  of  last 
year's  vintage  which 
the  most  practiced  wine- 
drinker  could  not  have 
distinguished  from  the 
best  foreign.  The 
Frenchman  will  have 
to  look  to  his  laurels.

NEW  LAMP 
FOR  LOCOMO- 

TlVESTThe  Roch- 
ester Daily  Advertiser 
says  that  Mr.  Henry 
Ward  of  that  city  is 
making  lamps  for  rail- 
road locomotives  by 
galvanic  process.  He 
plates  the  parabolic  re- 
flectors (which  are  con- 
structed  of  Britannia 
metal)  with  silver  and 
gives  to  them,  by  polish- 
ing, a  surface  which  re- 
flects with  great  power. 

The  selectmen  of 
Westfield,  at  the  late 
town  meeting  held  in 
that  place  were  instruct- 
ed to  strike  from  the 
jury  list  the  names  of 
all  Odd  Fellows,  rum 
sellers  and  rum  drinkers. 


BANK  PAPER 

NOW   MADE   WITH 
THREADS  IN  IT. 

Messrs.  Crane  &  Co. , 
of  Dallon,  Massachu- 
setts, manufacturers  of 
bank  paper,  have  in- 
vented a  very  simple 
and  efficient  method  of 
preserving  the  denomi- 
nation of  a  bill  from  al- 
teration. Threads  of 
silk  and  cotton  are 
arranged  in  parallel 
lines,  lengthways  with 
the  note,  and  embodied 
in  the  substance  of  the 
paper  during  its  manu- 
facture. A  one  dollai 
bill  has  one  thread,  ard 
one  is  added  to  each 
denomination  up  to  five 
dollars,  then  a  ten  dol- 
lar bill  has  six,  another 
is  added  for  twenty, 
fifty,  one  hundred,  ard 
one  thousand;  the  la: I 
having  eleven  threads. 
It  must  be  very  difficult, 
if  not  impossible,  to  in- 
sert another  thread  after 
the  note  is  finished,  and 
as  the  threads  mark  its 
value  as  distinctly  as 
the  figure,  the  chances 
of  a  successful  altera ticn 
are  at  least  very  greatly 
diminished.  The  Me- 
chanics' Bank  Associa- 
tion of  New  York  City 
and  several  of  the  banks 
in  that  state  and  in  the 
East,  have  ordered  the 
threaded  paper,  and  it 
will  probably  come  in- 
to general  use.  It  is 
desirable  that  something 
should  be  hit  upon  that 
will  prevrnt  (he  frauds 
upon  the  public  from 
the  alteration  of  bank 
bills. 

LOCOMOTIVE 
STRUCK  BY 
LIGHTNING-On 

the  I  3th  ult.,  a  locomo- 
tive attached  to  the 
passenger  train  passing 
from  Adanta  to  Au- 
gusta, Ga.,  was  struck 
by  lightning.  The 
fluid  passed  along  the 
machinery  of  the  engine 
to  the  cars,  shaking 
some  of  the  passengers 
pretty  severely,  but 
doing  no  damage.

MERIDEN,  CONN.,   JUNE,  1847. 


Five  Cents. 


1847  BIG  YEAR 
FOR  MERIDEN 

INDUSTRIES  OF  TOWN  ARE 
DESCRIBED 


BRITANNIA.  IVORY    COMB    AND    OTHER 

MANUFACTURES    OF    PLACE 

FLOURISHING. 


The  manufactories  of 
Meriden  constitute  so 
prominent  a  part  of  the 
country's  product  that 
one  naturally  feels  some 
curiosity  to  know  some- 
thing of  their  origin  and 
present  condition,  as 
their  total  sales  now 
amount  to  about 
$1,000,000  a  year. 

Of  all  of  them,  none 
is  more  interesting  than 
the  Ivory  Comb  indus- 
try, whether  one  re- 
gards its  origin  and 
growth  or  the  great 
beauty  of  the  produc- 
tion and  the  systematic 
work  of  the  mechanism 
of  the  machinery  em- 
ployed. 

According  to  the  best 
means  of  information, 
ivory  combs  were  first 
made  in  this  country  by 
Andrew  Lord,  of  Say- 
brook,  about  sixty  years 
ago. 

Abel  Pratt,  of  Say- 
brook,  made  ivory 
combs  fifty -one  years 
ago.  He  sawed  the 
"  plates"  by  hand  and 
250  was  considered  a 
good  day's  work; 
whereas  by  the  present 
improved  process 4,000 
can  be  sawed  out  in  a 
day  by  one  man. 

At  the  present  time 
all  the  ivory  combs 
made  in  America  are 
manufactured  in  Con- 
necticut, two-thirds  of 
the  whole  being  made 
in  Meriden.  The  busi- 
ness was  commenced  in 
this  town  in  1819  by 
Merriam  &  Collins, 
wh  o  u  sed  the  best 
machinery  known  at 
that  time.  Their  estab- 
lishment was  not  long 
continued. 

Howard,  Pratt  & 
Co.  began  to  manu- 
facture ivory  combs  in 
Meriden  in  !  822.  This 
firm  is  now  in  existence 
under  the  name  of 
Julius  Pratt  &  Co. 
They  are  always  busy  at 
this  establishment, 
where  very  great  im- 
provements have  been 
made  in  the  machinery 


by  which  the  work  is 
executed.  The  slow 
processes  of  the  hand 
have  been  discarded, 
and  machines  which 
almost  seem  to  have  in- 
telligence perform  the 
work  with  such  rapid- 
ity, precision  and  beauty 
that  while  the  value  of 
the  raw  material  remains 
as  it  was  thirty  years 
ago,  a  far  better  article 
can  now  be  sold  at  less 
than  half  the  price 
formerly  demanded. 

Walter  Webb  &  Co. 
commenced  business  in 
1831;  Philo  Pratt  & 
Co.  in  1836.  The 
business  of  thislatter  firm 
was  subsequently  trans- 
ferred to  W.  Webb  & 
Co.  and  Mr.  Pratt  be- 
came a  partner.  In 
this  establishment  also 
the  best  machinery  is 
used. 

The  three  firms  of 
Geo.  Read  &  Co.,  of 
Deep  River,  Julius 
Pratt  &  Co.,  Walter 
Webb  &  Co.,  of  Meri- 
den, now  turn  out 
about  15,000  or  18,- 
000  combs  daily,  or 
about  five  and  a  half 
millions  annually;  of 
these  probably  more 
than  three  millions  and 
a  half  are  made  in 
Meriden.  Quantities 
of  these  are  exported  to 
all  parts  of  North  and 
South  America,  and 
some  are  even  sent  to 
England. 

Another  industry 
which  is  growing  very 
rapidly  and  is  destined 
to  be  of  great  import- 
ance in  Meriden  s  fut- 
ure is  the  making  of 
britannia  ware  of  vari- 
ous kinds.  Among 
those  prominently  iden- 
tified for  years  past  in 
this  business  are  I.  C. 
Lewis,  W.  W.  Lyman, 
J.  A.  Frary  and  Lem- 
uel J.  Curtis  as  manu- 
facturers, and  Horace 
C.  Wilcox  and  Dennis 
C.  Wilcox  as  selling 
agents.  It  is  now  con- 
sidered very  probable 
that    within    a   short 


time  these  enterprising 
business  men  will  corn- 
bin"  forces  and  organ- 
ire  a  large  company  so 
as  to  enable  them  to 
more  satisfactorily  make 
and  handle  the  growing 
demand  for  goods  in 
their  line. 

A  new  invention 
galvanic  electricity— 
whereby  goods  can  be 
given  a  coat  of  pure  sil- 
ver, is  also  being  con- 
sidered, and  it  is  likely 
a  line  of  their  goods  in 
the  near  future,  al- 
though made  of  britan- 
nia metal,  will  be  silver 
plated  before  selling. 
This  new  process  of 
electro-deposition  has 
been  largely  experi- 
mented with,  and  is 
now  being  used  in  a 
small  way  by  Rogers 
Bros,  in  Hartford.  Our 
far-seeing  Meriden  men 
are  about  convinced  of 
its  value,  and  if  adopted 
by  them,  will  un- 
doubtedly create  an  im- 
mense demand  for  their 
goods  so  treated.  There 
is  also  some  talk  cf  hav- 
ing Rogers  Bros,  of 
Hartford  come  to  Men- 
den,  install  the  new 
process,  and,  likely, 
merge  their  spoon  and 
fork  business  with  that 
of  the  Meriden  men. 

Among  our  other 
prominent  and  growing 
manufactures  we  men- 
tion the  following: 
Pratt.  Ropes,  Webb 
&  Co.,  Table  Cutlery; 
Curtis,  Morgan  &  Co., 
Charles  Parker,  Julius 
Parker,  Sanford  Parm- 
lee  &  Co.,  Hardware; 
Oliver  Snow  &  Co., 
Pumps  and  Machinery; 
Foster,  Merriam  &  Co., 
Casters  and  Castings; 
Henry  M.  Foster,  H. 
T.  Wilcox,  and  Os- 
good &  Co.,  Steelyards 
and  Scales;  Stedman 
&  Clarke.  Goodrich  & 
Rutty,  Lauren  T.  Mer- 
riam, H .  W.  Curtis, 
Charles  Pomeroy, 
Blakslee,  Styles  &  Co., 
and  Samuel  Yale, 
Plain  ar.d  Japanned 
Tinware;  Birdsey  & 
Williams,  and  H.Gris- 
wold.  Bone  Buttons; 
William  Hale,  Suspen- 
ders; Jedediah  Wilcox, 
Carpet  Bags. 

Even  the  agricultural 
produce  cf  Meriden 
amounts  to  no  small 
sum,  as  the  following 
list,  by  the  assessors  of 
1847  testifies:  Fire 
wood,  1  , 1  47  cords, 
Wool,  l,J 9 1  pounds; 
Corn,  8,523  bushels; 
Buckwheat,  2,1  14 
bushels:  Rye,  5,206 
bushels;  Oats,  7.180 
bushels;  Potatoes,  8,- 
590  bushels;  Hay, 
1 ,656  tons;  Tobacco, 
8,000  pounds;  Butter, 
52, 560 pounds;  cheese, 


5,675  pounds;  Honey, 
706  pounds. 

Taking  everything 
into  consideration, 
Meriden  is  in  a  very 
prosperous  condition, 
and  is  likely  to  grow 
much  faster  in  the  near 
future.  It  is  only  41 
years  since  it  was  set 
apart  from  Wallingford, 
and  now  has  a  popula- 
tion of  about  3,000 
people.  If,  during  the 
next  41  years,  it  only 
continues  its  present 
progress,  no  one  can 
complain. 

Since  the  completion 
of  the  railroad  seven 
years  ago,  the  tendency 
has  been  to  build  near 
the  line  in  the  West 
Village,  and,  no  doubt, 
the  large  manufactories 
of  the  future  will  be  lo- 
cated near  the  railroad. 
where  shipments  by  the 
iron  horse  can  be  made. 


HITCHING  THE 
CUSSED  THING- 

The  New  Haven 
Register  gives  the  fol- 
lowing account  cf  an 
incident  of  the  New 
Haven  and  Hartford 
Road,  soon  afterit  went 
into  operation.  The 
train  stopped  at  Meri- 
den to  wood  up  and  a 
flighty  gentleman  who 
was  probably  for  the 
first  time  in  his  life  in  a 
railroad  car  and  who 
held  on  to  his  seat  with 
both  hands  frcm  the 
moment  the  cars  left 
Hartford,  looking  as 
though  he  expected 
every  moment  to  be 
shock  out  of  the  win- 
dow, suddenly  stepped 
out  on  the  platform, 
and  took  a  rapid  look 
at  the  locomotive. 

"Anything  the  mat- 
ter! I  should  think 
there  was  something 
the  matter  if  ycu  ever 
notice  it!  Why,  they've 
stopped  right  in  the 
middle  cf  the  read,  and 
hain't  hitched  the  cus- 
sed thing !  Spose  ii 
should  start,  hey?  I 
guess  some  of  us  ud  be 
in  kingdom  come,  afore 
night."  A  roar  of 
laughter  from  the  pas- 
sengers in  no  wise  al- 
tered the  man's  views 
of  the  superior  safety  cf 
his  position,  "in  case 
the  cussed  thing  should 
start." 


CRIME  IN  CON- 
NECTICUT-The 

present  number  of  con- 
victs in  the  state  prison 
is  1  50;  ten  years  ago. 
216  were  there  con- 
fined. The  Directors 
attribute  this  cheering 
change  to  the  diminu- 
tion cf  intemperance  in 
the  state. 


REMARKABLE 

RIDE— A  citizen  of 
Waterbury,  well- 
known  as  the  "Col- 
onel," was  recently 
compelled  between 
the  hou  rs  of  8  and 
9  o'clock  in  the 
evening  to  make  a 
legal  tender  to  secure 
the  purchase  cf  some 
property  or  pay  the  pen- 
alty of  $300  specified 
in  the  bond;  the  seller 
having  refused  the  $2,- 
500  in  Phenix  bank 
bills  as  not  being  the 
"dollars,"  the  tender 
must  be  made  before 
midnight.  The  "Col- 
onel," thus  suddenly 
taken  "all  aback"  was 
not  discouraged.  He 
mounted  a  small  but 
spirited  marc,  which 
like  himself,  was  "one 
of  em,"  and  made  for 
the  Meriden  bank  - 
distance,  I  5  miles !  He 
there  exchanged  the 
$2,500  in  bills  for  gold, 
and  returned  to  Water- 
bury,  having  been  ab- 
sent but  2  hours  and  28 
minutes  and  riding  the 
same  horse  both  ways. 
He  rede  the  first  15 
miles  in  1 5  minutes. 
Those  who  know  the 
road  across  the  Pros- 
pect hills,  and  taking 
into  consideration  that 
the  Cashier  had  to  be 
woke  up,  and  the  mon- 
ey counted,  will  readily 
admit  that  the  Colonel 
and  his  mare  can  only 
be  beaten  by  Prof. 
Morse.  •

VICTIM    OF    A    THIEF    IN 
NEW    HAVEN 

PR0MLNENT  MERIDE.I  MAN  WAS  DUPED 

BY  RASCAL  IN  THE  PARK 

HOTEL. 


Mr.  Charles  Parker, 
of  Meriden,  who  stop- 
ped at  the  Park  House 
in  this  city  last  night, 
says  the  New  Haven 
Palladium,  was  robbed 
of  about  $1  7  by  a  per- 
son, as  he  supposed, 
who  slept  in  the  same 
room  with  him. 

Mr.  P.  did  not  dis- 
cover his  loss  until  he 
arrived  at  the  depot 
this  morning  to  take  the 
five  o'clock  train  for 
home.  He  took  out 
his  wallet  for  the  pur- 
pose cf  paying  his  fare 
when  he  found  the 
money  had  been  ab- 
stracted. 

He  returned  to  the 
hotel,  and  made  known 
his  loss,  and  his  room- 
mate, who  calls  himself 
"Temple,"  waseearch- 
ed,  and  ingeniously  con- 
cealed under  his  vest 
cellar  was  found  a  pair 
of  key  nippers,  used  for 
the  purpose  of  unlocking 
dcors  where  a  key  is 
left  in  the  lock. 

In  other  pockets  of 
of   his   overcoat    was 

The  Liberty  Party  cf 
this  State  held  a  con- 
vention in  this  town  on 
the  I  5th  inst;,  and  re- 
nominated their  last 
year's  ticket,  except 
that  Lewis  Beers,  Jr.  .for 
Secretary,  was  substi- 
tuted for  Vincent 
Hinckley.  Six  dele- 
gates were  appointed  to 
attend  the  Liberty 
National  Convention  at 
Buffalo  on  the  20th  cf 
October.  The  Con- 
vention voted  to  raise 
$7  5  to  pay  the  expenses 
of  the  two  delegates 
from  the  State  at  large, 
and  picked  up  $50  on 
the  spot,  the  balance 
having  since  been  raised . 


found  one  of  the  handles 
and  in  one  of  his  panta- 
loon pockets,  the  other. 
It  appears  that  Temple 
was  observed  by 
another  gentleman  who 
occupied  a  bed  in  the 
room  to  go  out  soon 
after  Mr.  Parker  left. 
After  a  short  absence, 
he  returned  and  again 
retired  to  bed. 

He  was  arrested  by 
Sheriff  Carr.  and  taken 
before  Justice  Bennett, 
who  put  him  under 
bonds  for  examination 
on  Monday,  and  for 
want  cf  surety  he  was 
committed  to  jail. 

Temple  arrived  here 
in  the  boat  from  New 
York  yesterday,  and 
says  he  belongs  in 
Philadelphia,  and  is  a 
speculator.  On  his 
person  only  $4.00  in 
money  was  found,  and 
he  does  not  give  a  very 
satisfactory  account  of 
his  business  here. 

The  stolen  money 
was  found  this  forenoon 
concealed  under  the 
hall  carpet. 


From  Bradley's 
Connecticut  Register 
tor  1847: 

Meriden  (written 
Merridan  in  the  Colony 
Records)  was  a  disput- 
ed tract  cf  land  lying 
between  Farmington 
and  Wallingford. which 
in  May.  1728,  was 
annexed  to  the  North 
Society  cf  Wallingford, 
and  the  whole  incor- 
porated a  town  in  May, 
1806.  Its  name  is 
probably  a  corruption 
cf  the  word  meridian — 
the  township  being 
equi-distant  from  the 
two  semi-eapitals, 
Hartford  and  New 
Haven.

CONNECTICUT 
COPPER  MINES  - 

The  New  Haven 
Journal  says  the  copper 
mines  of  Bristol,  in  this 
state,  are  more  extens- 
ive and  valuable  than 
people  generally  imag- 
ine, and  at  the  present 
time  are  exciting  con- 
siderable interest  among 
capitalists  and  scientific 
men.  Within  a  short 
time  a  large  body  of 
operatives  have  been 
added  to  the  mines  and 
we  are  informed  that 
now  more  than  300 
hands  are  constantly 
engaged  and  the  yield 
of  ore  is  increasing  in 
quantity  and  value. 
These  mines  are  con- 
sidered by  many  capa- 
ble of  judging  to  be 
equal  in  point  of  profit 
to  any  other  in  the 
country,  and  the  opin- 
ion has  been  expressed 
by  Prof.  Silliman,  who 
has  made  extensive  re- 
searches in  these  regions 
that  the  veins  of  ore  ex- 
tend in  a  southerly  di- 
rection from  Bristol  to 
Hamden,  and,  if  thor- 
oughly worked,  would 
be  sufficient  to  give  con- 
stant employment  to 
thousands  of  miners. 
Large  quantities  of  the 
ore  are  daily  sent  over 
the  Canal  Railroad, 
and  in  time,  we  have 
no  doubt,  the  mines  will 
prove  a  source  of  in- 
come and  profit  to  the 
road  as  well  as  to  those 
who  are  engaged  in  the 
operation. 

A  CLOCK  FOR 
SIXTY  CENTS- 

Mr.  Chauncey  Jerome, 
of  New  Haven,  Conn., 
has  actually  made  a 
timepiece  which  he  will 
warrant  will  keep  good 
reckoning  and  which  he 
sells  for  60  cents  at 
wholesale,  and  at  $1 
at  retail.  The  works 
are  all  made  of  brass. 
He  makes  upwards  of 
eight  hundred  a  day  of 
these  articles.  After 
this  let  no  one  want  a 
clock.  A  few  years 
ago  (only  12  we  be- 
lieve) the  old  wooden 
clocks  sold  for  $10, 
now  no  one  will  have  a 
wooden  clock.  Com- 
mon cheap  clocks  can 
be  bought  in  abund- 
ance for  $2  apiece,  but 
it  seems  Mr.  Jerome  has 
capped  the  climax  of 
cheap  time  keepers. 

The  grading  of  the 
tow  path  of  the  Farm- 
ingtoncanalfor  a  branch

gress— one  man  having 
taken  a  contract  for  20 
miles.

MAILS  REGU- 
LAR AGAIN -The 

mails  are  running  regu- 
larly again .  The 
Post  Gffice  Depart- 
ment has  closed  the 
contract  with  the  New 
Haven,  Hartford  and 
Springfield  Line  at 
$i4,CC0.  They  asked 
$20,000,  but  the  Post- 
master-General brought 
them  at  last  to  the 
old  terms.  The  trouble 
began  about  a  month 
and  a  half  ago  when 
the  mail  was  refused 
by  the  Captain  of 
the  New  Haven  steam- 
er. This  captain  had 
orders  from  the  owners 
not  to  receive  the 
mail  unless  $27. CO,  the 
demand  for  carrying  it, 
was  paid  in  advance. 
The  cartman  had  not 
the  money,  and  so  the 
cartload  of  letters  and 
newspapers  was  taken 
back  to  the  Post  Office. 
_A.11  Central  Connecti- 
cut and  the  valley  of

several  days  after  they

LAWYER  WRIGHT  IS 
PRAISED  HIGHLY. 

At  New  Haven  in 
the  Superior  Court,  the 
case  of  State  vs.  Martin 
Owens  came  up.  Both 
Owens  and  his  accuser, 
Ann  Morel,  are  natives 
cf  Wallingford.  Trial 
cccupied  Court  for  a 
day.  Owens  was  ac- 
quitted. A  large  crowd 
was  constantly  in  at- 
tendance dunng  the  trial 
and  also  the  wife  of 
the  accused.  The 
counsel  for  the  State 
and  pnsoner,  says  the 
New  Haven  Pallad- 
ium, acquitted  them- 
selves in  a  masterly 
manner.  The  opening

ciate of  the  States 
Attorney,  Dexter  R. 
Wright,  Esq.,  of  Meri-

one  as  v/as  also  that  of 
Josephus  Merriam, 
Esq.,  cf  Wallingford, 
for  the  defense. 

FIREINSOUTH- 
INGTON-At  about 

1 0  o'clock  en  Saturday 
evening,  a  Sre  was  dis- 
covered in  a  barn  be- 
longing to  Mr.  Levi  B. 
Frost  in  Sou.h.ng.on. 
It  was  consumed,  to- 
gether with  from  fifteen 
to  twenty  tons  cf  hay, 
three  valuable  horses, 
two  yoke  of  working 
oxen,  three  cows,  four 
hogs  and  from  fifteen  to 
twenty  sheep.  Nothing 
is  known  to  a  certainty 
of  the  origin  of  the  fire, 
although  various  rumors 
upon  the  subject  are 
afloat.  —  Hartford 
Courant. 

THE  N.  Y.  &  N. 
H.  ROAD  — More 
than  1,500  men  are 
employed  between  the 
westeri.  line  of  New 
Haven  and  New  York. 
The  whole  route  is  now 
under  contract  and  the 
work  is  progressing  with 
great  rapidity. 

The  amount  of  travel 
on  the  Hartford  and 
New  Haven  Railroad 
is  very  large.  The  up 
ward  steamboat  train 
yesterday  had  about 
200  passengers ;  and 
and  the  train  from  Bos 
ton  had  84  through 
passengers  to  New 
York.  The  route  via 
Hartford  is  growing 
popular  daily.  —  Hart-

MIDDLETOWN 
INDUSTRIES- 

Middletown  contains 
8,000  inhabitants.  Its 
location  is  upon  a  gentle 
declivity  commanding  a 
beautiful  view  of  the 
winding  river  and  the 
more  beautiful  valley 
stretching  far  away  to 
the  blue  eastern  hills. 
There  is  a  Methodist 
college    located    there 

Inch  is  in  a  prosperous 
condition,  and  schools 
of  a  high  character  for 
the  education  cf  both 
sexes  abound. 

The  advantages  for 
manufacturing  are  fine. 
The  water  privileges 
are  good.  The  manu- 
facturing establishments 
are  woolen,  button  and 
comb,  plane,  screw  and 
>b,  webbing,  gun 
and  pistol  factories,  a 
steam  flour  mill,  &c. 
Just  across  the  river, 
and  within  two  stones- 
throw  of  the  bridge 
location  are  famous 
sandstone  quarries, 
teeming  with  men  who 
are  continually  employ- 
ed in  getting  out  stone 
which  i  s  sent  North, 
South,  East  and  West. 

PROSPERITY 
OF  HARTFORD- 

A  writer  of  the  Cour- 
ant estimates  the  annual 
trade  and  commerce  of 
hat  city  at  $6,900,- 
000,  being  more  than 
double  what  it  was  ten 
years  ago.  Further, 
the  same  wnter  says, 
Hartford  progressed 
more  rapidly  in  business 
and  wealth  from  1837 
to  1847  than  during 
any  previous  ten  years 
or  half  century,  and  is 
now  actually  in  a  more 
prosperous  condition 
than  during  anyprevious 
period  of  herexistence. ' ' 

SWORD  PRES- 
ENTATION-The 

Senior  class  in  Yale 
College  have  purchased 
a  beautiful  sword, 
which  they  will  present 
to  Samuel  W.  White, 
of  Miss.,  who  left  col- 
lege to  join  the  Rifle 
Regiment  under  the 
brave  Jefferson  Davis, 
and  distinguished  him- 
self at  Monterey  and 
Buena  Vista.  The 
sword  may  be  seen  at 
Mr.  E.  Benjamin's 
jewelry  store,  in  New 
Haven. 

We  learn  that  a  bed 
of  coal  has  been  discov- 
ered in  the  town  of 
Ridgefield  and  that 
measures  are  in  prog- 
ress for  working  it.  A 
gendeman  of  expenence 
has  contracted  with  the 
proprietor  of  the  land 
for  the  privilege,  and  is 
now  in  the  pursuit  of 
proper  hands  and  means 
for  commencing  opera- 
tions.

LETTER  TO  N.  H.  REGISTER 
FROM  WALLINGFORD 


THE    PALLADIUM    DECLARES    THAT 

"FARMER"    IS    IN    REALITY    A 

DEMOCRATIC  LAWYER. 


Editors  New  Haven 
Register  :  For  years  I 
have  believed  it  neces- 
sary to  have  a  tariff  for 
protection ;  but  recent 
facts  and  recent  devel- 
opments have  proved  to 
my  mind  that  this  is  a 
mistake.  Under  the 
tariff  of  42,  manufac- 
turing was  good,  and 
farmers'  produce 
brought  a  fair  price.  I 
looked  upon  these  as 
the  fruits  of  the  tariff, 
and  I  deprecated  i  t  s 
abolition. 

The  tariff  of  '42  was 
repealed,  and  the  tariff 
of  '46,  which  I  believed 
would  blast  the  pros- 
perity of  the  country, 
ism  operation.  As  my 
convictions  cf  duty  to 
myself  and  my  country 
obliged  me  then  to  de- 
nounce the  tariff  of  46, 
so  my  convictions  of 
duty  now  oblige  me  to 
acknowledge  that  my 
fears  and  expectations 
were  not  well  founded. 

The  tariff  of  '46  is 
in  operation,  and  con- 
trary to  my  anticipa- 
tions the  country  is 
prosperous.  Where  I 
expected  to  find  poverty 
and  misery,  I  find  hap- 
piness  and  plenty. 
Where  I  expected  to 
find  distress  and  ruin, 
there  I  find  prospenty. 
Manufactunng  is  good. 
Farmers'  produce, 
which  I  expected  to  see 
rotting  upon  our  hands, 
brings  a  high  price  and 
finds  a  ready  market. 

I  see  things  in  a 
different  light,  but  still 
I  am  not  sure  that  I 
should  abandon  my 
party  were  it  not  for 
other,  and,  as  I  view 
them,  more  important 
reasons.     When    I  see 


the  men  with  whom  1 
have  ever  acted  oppos- 
ing the  war  with  Mex- 
ico, I  feel  bound  by  my 
love  of  country,  by  my 
sense  of  justice  and 
right  to  come  out  from 
among  them.  If  Cor- 
win.  Gentry,  Greeley  & 
Co.,  would  not  expose 
themselves  to  the  civil- 
ized world  in  the  light 
of  robbers  of  a  nation's 
honor,  they  must  retrace 
their  steps.  Should 
they  do  this,  then 
"  doubtless  peace  might 
be  negotiated  on  terms 
alike  honorable  to  us 
and  acceptable  to  the 
Mexicans." 

Wallingford  Farmer. 

The  "  Wallingford 
Farmer,"  who  practi- 
ces Law  in  this  city,  is 
very  eloquent  on  the 
blessed  state  of  things 
which  has  been  pro- 
duced in  our  national 
affairs  by  the  election 
and  administration  of 
Mr.  Polk!  He's  a 
smart  fellow  !  he  didn  t 
graduate  for  nothing! 
but  if  he  thinks  he  will 
impose  upon  indepen- 
dent men  the  belief  that 
he  was  ever  a  Whig  or 
anything  else  but  a  loco- 
foco  lawyer  with  a  rest- 
less, ambitious  hope 
that  one  day  or  other 
he  may  get  some  office 
that  will  pay  him  for 
his  zealous  endeavors 
to  glorify  an  adminis- 
tration which  more  than 
any  we  have  had  for 
many  years  has  been 
"a  stench  in  the  nostrils 
of  the  people,  he 
counts  without  his  host; 
he  is  just  the  one  to 
"sell  his  hen  of  a  rainy 
day."  —  New  Haven 
Palladium. 


Some  rogue  attempt- 
ed to  set  the  State 
House  in  Hartford  on 
fire  last  Sunday  night, 
but  the  combustibles  did 
not  burn  as  well  as  the 
rogue  intended  they 
should.  By  the  by,  we 
trust  the  one  we  have 
in  this  city  is  properly 
insured,  for  it  may  be 
wanted  one  of  these 
days  for  a  livery  stable 
or  a  railroad  depot.

years  later.  The  lat-

loaned  by  Mr.  Le  wis' 
family. 

After  the  death  of 
Daniel  B.  Wells,  Mr. 
Lewis'  son-in-law, 
whom  Mr.  Lewis  had 
taken  into  partnership, 
an  arrangement  was 
made  by  which  Mr. 
Horace  C.  Wilcox 
(who  might  well  be 
called  the  father  of 
the  silver  plating  in- 
dustry) and  Mr.  Den- 
nis C.  Wilcox  joined 
forces  with  Mr.  Lewis. 
In  1852  the  Meri- 
den Britannia  Company  was  formed,  with 
a  capital  of  $50,000.  The  incorporators 
were:  Horace  C.  and  Dennis  C.  Wilcox,  I. 
C.  Lewis,  W.  W.  Lyman,  Lemuel  J.  Curtis, 
John   Munson  and  James  Frary. 

The  picture  of  their  first  factory  will  be  found 
on  Page  6.  This  building  stood,  and  still 
stands,  on  the  corner  of  State  and  Miller 
streets.  If  any  one  is  not  familiar  with  the 
Meriden  Britannia  Company  plant  of  today, 
the  other  cut  on  Page  6  will  show  the  growth 
of  that  concern.  In  1898  this  company  com- 
bined with  several  others  to  form  the  Inter- 
national Silver  Company. 

MR.  FORBES'  ANECDOTES. 

Mr.  Andrew  J.  Forbes,  to  whom  reference 
has  been  made,  is  one  of  the  few  men  now 
alive  who  were  concerned  in  the  beginnings  of 
the  silver  industry  in  Meriden.  He  is  sev- 
enty years  old,  and  today  holds  a  responsi- 
ble position  in  the  International  Silver  Co.  His 
home  is  in  West  Somerville,  Mass.   On  a  recent 


1S47  —  THE* 

trip  to  Meriden,  he  visited  the  site  of 
the  old  I.  C.  Lewis  factory.  Mr.  Forbes 
went  to  work  at  the  age  of  ten,  for  his  brother- 
in-law,  H.  H.  Graves,  of  the  firm  of  J.  B.  & 
H.  H.  Graves,  from  whom  Horace  C.  Wilcox 
bought  his  first  britannia  ware.  In  1850  he 
began  his  employment  with  Mr.  Lewis. 

Among  his  fellow  employes  were  the  follow- 
ing, many  of  whose  names  are  familiar  to 
Meriden  people :  W.  H.  Golden,  Sr.,  Ed. 
Paine  (late  of  Middletown),  Henry  Bullard 
(living  in  Meriden  now),  Dan  Crandall,  Mike 
Akerman,  "  Pod "  Yale,  Asher  Hall,  Lewis 
Hall  (son  of  Asher  and  father  of  Wilbur 
Hall),  Nelson  Cornwell,  John  Palmer,  Will- 
iam Mathews,  Larry  Mathews,  Friend  Booth, 
Jake  Heiny,  Daniel  B.  Wells,  Stephen  Green, 
Henry  Pizah,  Owen  Flynn,  Sage  Pelton,  Peter 
Smith,  Joseph  Williams  and  Ed.  Ricker. 

Over  the  site  of  the  old  shop  today  broods 
a  Sunday  calm,  and  outwardly  the  place  was 
quiet  enough  when  Mr.  Forbes  knew 
it,  but  the  mask  of  sedateness  covered 
a  deal  of  boisterous  fun  and  good- 
natured  deviltry.  His  recent  visit 
brought  to  his  mind  many  an  esca- 
pade in  which  he  or  his  former  com- 
rades figured. 

To  the  east  of  the  old  shop  stood, 
and  still  stands,  an  ancient  house, 
which  in  Mr.  Forbes'  day  served  as 
the  boarding  house. 

"We  had  some  great  times  there," 
he  observed,  pointing  to  the  building. 

"  It  brings  to  my  mind  the  episode 
of  the  pies.  One  night  Steve  Green 
got  down  into  the  pantry,  where  were 
stored  over  forty  pies,  the  week's 
baking -- mostly  dried-apple  pies,  I 
remember — and  passed  them  out 
through  the  window  to  the  rest  of  us.  On  a 
shelf  was  a  tin  pan,  which  Stephen  knew 
usually  held  doughnuts — molasses  doughnuts, 
which  you  could  pull  out  like  India  rubber. 
Steve  tipped  the  pan  to  see  if  there  were  any 
doughnuts  in  it.  As  it  happened,  the  pan  that 
night  contained  flour  and  the  tip  Green  gave  it 
was  sufficient  to  spill  all  the  flour  over  him. 
The  pan  came  clattering  to  the  floor,  awaken- 
ing Mr.  Crocker,  who  was  in  the  room  above. 
Down  he  came  to  investigate.  There  was  no 
avenue  of  escape  open  to  Green  except  to 
dash  through  the  kitchen,  and  pass  Mr.  Crocker. 
The  latter  saw  him  coming,  clothed  in  a  floury 
shroud.  The  good  man  must  have  mistaken 
his  boarder  for  a  ghost,  for  he  turned  and  hiked 
up  the  stairs  to  his  room. 

"Another  of  the  boarders,  Dan  Crandall, 
was  the  hero  of  a  certain  fishing  trip.  He 
and  I  were  out  on  Black  pond  when  the 
boat  began  to  fill.  Bailing  proving  of  no 
avail,  Dan  dropped  overboard  and  com- 
menced to  swim  for  the  shore.  1  would 
have  followed  immediately  had  1  not  noticed 
that  Dan's  fish  hook  had  caught  in  the  seat  of 
his  trousers,  and  that,  as  he  swam,  he  was  tow- 
ing the  fish  pole  behind  him.  I  made  a  grab 
for  the  pole,"  continued  Mr.  Forbes,  "  and 
if  I'd  caught  it,  you  bet  I  would  have  'played 
him.  As  it  was,  I  nearly  drowned  before  I 
could  stop  laughing  long  enough  to  swim 
ashore. 

"  Black  pond  was  a  great  resort  for  us  boys. 
It  was  there  we  took  our  Sunday  bath,  and 
from   its    waters    we    pulled    many   a   perch,

pickerel  and  bull-head.  Some  fellows  came 
there  once  with  a  seine,  which  greatly  angered 
us,  who  always  fished  with  bait.  To  discour- 
age the  net  fishermen,  we  sunk  everything  we 
could  think  of  in  the  pond  and  tied  all  the 
scythes  we  could  collect  to  logs.  Then  we 
hid  in  the  bushes.  It  made  my  blood  run 
cold  when,  their  net  having  become  entangled, 
one  of  the  fishermen  stripped  and  dived  among 
the  scythes  to  learn  the  cause  of  the  trouble. 
However,  he  was  not  cut  in  two.  But  their 
net  was  of  no  more  use. 

"  Over  in  Middlefield  there  was  a  button 
shop,  and  we  used  to  go  there  to  see  the 
young  women  employes.  Peter  Smith  was 
married,  but  had  not  brought  his  wife  to 
Meriden.  One  evening,  he  went  over  to  the 
button  shop  and  called  upon  a  girl  named 
Charlotte  Burnham.  Now,  Charlotte  was  a 
very  quiet  young  woman.  Conversation 
coming  to  a  standstill,  the  young  man  thought 


1  must  say  a  word  about  Uncle  Pete 
And  the  lovely  Charlotte  Burnham. 
When  strolling  out  one  moonlight  night. 
Their  hearts  with  love  inflated. 
She  says,  '  I  think  the  button  shop 
Is  pleasantly  located."  " 


added, 


"Needless   to    say,"    Mr.    Forbe 
"  Pete's  wife  was  greatly  interested." 

"  I  don't  know  as  I  had  better  tell  the  fol- 
lowing story.  If  the  facts  had  gotten  out  half 
a  century  ago,  somebody  would  have  been 
richer  by  two  hundred  dollars,  that  amount 
having  been  offered  as  a  reward  by  the  powers 
that  were.  A  party  of  the  boys  were  driving 
to  Berlin  one  evening  when  they  came  to  a 
toll-gate.  The  toll-keeper  had  locked  the  gate 
and  gone  to  bed.  Not  wishing  to  arouse  him 
they  took  the  gate  off  the  hinges,  and  towed  it 
into  Meriden,  and  hung  it  up  near  where  the 
Meriden  House  is  now.  I  guess  that  two 
hundred  dollars  reward  is  outlawed  now," 
chuckled  Mr.  Forbes. 

"  One  summer  Mike  Akerman  and  I  made 
an  agreement  that  whichever  of  us  made  the 
least  money  before  the  Fourth  of  July  would 
pay  for  a  trip  to  New  York.  We  would 
have  come  out  just  even  if  Mike  had  not 
dropped  a  couple  of  tea  pots.  Instead  of 
picking  them  up  and  hammering  out  the 
dents,  he  kicked  them  under  a  bench. 
That  put  him  behind  me,  and  he  paid  for  *he 
trip.  We  each  had  about  $80  when  we 
started,  and  Akerman  had  a  gold  watch.  When 
we  reached  Middletown  on  our  return  trip, 
our  united  wealth   consisted  of  eighteen  cents. 

"We  bought  cigars  and  walked  home.  This 
simply  goes  to  show  that  there  were  ways  of 
:  pending  money  then  as  there  are  now.' 

"  Here  are  a  couple  of  hunting  incidents. 
We  used  to  make  up  shooting  teams,  the  two 
best   shots    being    captains  and    alternately 


he  would  wait  and  see  how  long  the  girl  would 
keep  quiet.  They  sat  there  for  an  hour,  not 
a  word  being  exchanged.  Finally,  Charlotte 
stammered,  '  I  think  the  button  shop  is  pleas- 
antly located,  don't  you  ?  '  Shortly  after  this 
the  young  man  brought  his  wife  to  Meriden. 
I  had  written  some  doggerel  about  the  button 
shop  and  he  desired  that  his  wife  should  hear 
it.  I  recited  it,  therefore,  but  when  I  had 
finished  the  poem  as  he  knew  it  I  went  on 
and  added  a  verse  which  Pete  had  never 
heard.     It  was  as  follows : 

"  My  song  quite  new,  the  words  quite  true, 
I  hope  you  all  will  learn  them, 


choosing  their  men.  We  shot  for  points 
and  the  various  kinds  of  game  had  each  its 
own  value.  For  instance,  I  remember,  a  red 
squirrel  counted  two  points,  a  grey  squirrel  five 
points,  a  quail  five,  grouse  ten,  hawk  twenty, 
owl  twenty-five  and  fox  cne  hundred.  One 
day,  when  Nelson  Cornwell  and  I  had  chosen 
sides,  I  had  the  misfortune  to  sprain  my  ankle 
in  getting  over  a  wall.  I  had  shot  one  grouse. 
Things  looked  pretty  dark  for  our  side,  when 
I  came  across  a  wagon  with  a  dead  owl  in  it. 
While  1  was  dickering  with  my  conscience 
whether  to  steal  the  bird,  the  owners  of  the 
wagon,  Silas  Clark  and  '  Cheek  '  Foster,  came

The  year  1847 
was  an  important  pe- 
riod in  the  religious 
history  of  Menden. 
Then  it  was  that  the 
Congregational  Church,  whose  members 
had  worshipped  for  many  years  in  the  edi- 
fice on  Broad  street,  became  two  dis- 
tinct bodies,  the  one  moving  to  West  Meriden 
and  building  a  new  meeting  house,  the  other 
remaining  on  Broad  street. 

The  West  Village  church  that  was  built  in 
1847  was  turned  into  a  theatre  when  its  suc- 
cessor, the  granite  church  of  today,  was  erected 
and  a  few  months  ago  fire  wiped  out  the  meta- 
morphosed structure.  Rev.  G.  W.  Perkins, 
author  of  a  brief  history  of  Meriden,  wa? 
pastor  of  the  Congregational  church  and  ac- 
companied that  portion  of  the  congregation 
which  moved  from  the  hill. 

According  to  some  authorities,  the  first  Cath- 
olic church  in  Menden  was  organized  in  1847. 
It  is  interesting  to  note  in  this  connection  that 
Rev.  M.'.  Perkins  several  years  before  coming 
to  Meriden  had  won  the  hatred  of  many 
bigoted  persons  by  a  bold  defense  of  Catholics 
and  a  plea  for  what  to-day  we  would  term  "a 
square  deal. 

The  Methodist  church,  which  had  been 
formed  in  1844,  erected  a  building  for  wor- 
ship in  1847. 

As  the  churches  increased  in  number  the 
taverns   appear  to  have  fallen  off.      "  In  1790, 


"Let  us  then,  with 
grateful  hearts,  thank

itating their  virtues."

WHEN   YOU  BUY 

SILVERWARE 

When  you  buy  silverware,  how  do 
you  do  it?  Blindly?  Or  do  you  make 
sure  you  are  getting  the  best — the  kind 
that  not  only  looks  well,  but  will  wear? 

There's  only  one  way  to  tell  how 
a  piece  of  silver  will  wear.  You  can't 
tell  by  looks.  You  may  be  a  good 
judge  of  dress  fabrics  or  furniture,  but 
you  can't  judge  silver  as  you  do  most 
other  things.  You  may  examine  a 
couple  of  pieces  and  rind  no  dif- 
ference. But  one  will  wear  and  the 
other  will  not. 

How  can  you  tell?  What  is  "the 
only  way  "  ?  It's  very  simple.  Turn 
over  the  article  and  look  for  the  trade= 
mark.  On  spoons,  knives  and  forks 
you  should  read : 

1 847   Rogers   Bros." 

On  Tea  Sets,   Tureens  and  other  hol- 
low-ware, you  should  see: 

MADE   AND 
GUARANTEED  BY

Your  grandmother  bought  these 
goods  because  they  were  the  best. 
That  we  are  successful  in  living  i;p  to 
the  standard  set  in  1847  is  proved  by 
the  fact  that  our  output  has  doubled 
in  the  last  ten  years.  When  a  busi- 
ness can  exist  for  sixty  years,  it  must 
be  because  the  buying  public  has  confi- 
dence in  it  and  its  product;  but  when 
in  the  last  ten  years  of  its  already  phe- 
nomenal growth,  it  increases  its  sales 
One  Hundred  Per  Cent,  it  means  that 
it  has  kept  its  old  friends  and  that  their 
satisfaction  has  induced  others  to  be- 
come customers. 

Look  for  the  trade-mark.  Not  merely 
the  word  "Rogers,"  but  "1847  Rogers

THE  SILVER  STANDARD,  JUNE,  1847 


MERIDEN  MAN 
IS  INDIGNANT 

HE  CRITICIZES    THE  POST 
OFFICE  DEPARTMENT 


IRREGULARITIES   IN    TRANSMISSION   OF 

MAIL  TO  AND  FROM  THIS  TOWN 

CAUSES  PROTEST. 


Messrs.  Editors  — 
The  neglect  or  care- 
lessness in  some  quarters 
of  our  Post  Office  De- 
partm?nt  has  become 
so  glaring  and  inexcus- 
able that  forbearance 
has  ceased  to  be  a  vir- 
tue, and  by  way  of 
calling  particular  atten- 
tion to  the  matter,  and 
eliciting  from  others 
more  facts  relating  toil, 
the  writer  ventures  to 
state  a  few  circumstan- 
ces which,  without 
being  sought  after,  have 
necessarily  come  under 
his  notice. 

It  is  a  notorious  truth 
that  more  irregularities 
have  occurred  in  the 
transmission  of  our  mail 
matter  to  and  from  this 
office  during  the  past 
year  than  since  our  re- 
membrance. The 
New  York  daily  pa- 
pers, due  here  on  the 
same  day  of  their  pub- 
lication, have  generally 
failed,  once  a  week, 
and  often  twice  a  week, 
and  in  a  number  of 
cases  have  been  carried 
by  and  brought  back 
the  next  day.  We 
hear  among  our  business 
men  frequent  com- 
plaints of  remittances 
being  sent  by  them  to 
meet  notes  which  do 
not  reach  their  destina- 
tion until  too  late.  Pro- 
tests and  loss  of  credit 
to  the  parties  are  the 
consequences. 

It  is  well  known  that 
the  Department  has 
during  the  past  year 
put  a  new  officer  on 
the  Railroad  from  New 
Haven  to  Boston.  It 
is  his  duty  to  sort  the 
mails  to  and  from  the 
towns  lying  on  the  line 
of  the  road,  so  that 
virtually  a  distributing 
office  is  kept  in  opera- 
tion on  board  the  cars 
carrying  the  mails. 
Now  is  it  not  singular 
that  the  year  peculiarly 
distinguished  above  all 
others  for  irregularities 
along  the  line  of  the 
road  should  be  the  very 
year  and  the  only  one 
in  which  this  new  office 
has  existed? 

If  I  have  not  suc- 
ceeded in  showing  the 
proprietorship  of  this 
carelessness  and  neglect, 
then  I  shall  despair  of 
ever  tracing  cause  and 
effect.  1 1  certainly  i  s 
not  with  our  Postmas- 


ter. The  experience 
of  years  has  proved  him 
a  man  remarkably  cor- 
rect and  vigilant  in 
every  duty  connected 
with  his  office.  It  can- 
not be  with  the  distribu- 
ting officers  on  the  way 
for  the  letters  alluded  to 
were  distributed  by  the 
agent  on  the  cars.  It 
probably  is  not  the 
fault  of  the  offices  at  the 
end  of  the  route.  Post- 
masters are  not  back- 
ward in  delivering  let- 
ters for  which  they  re- 
ceive money.  We  can 
see  no  place  to  impute 
the  blame  but  to  the 
mail  agent  of  the  road. 
We  know  not  how 
much  other  points  are 
caught  in  this  way,  but 
we  know  they  must  be 
to  some  extent,  because 
letters  applying  to  them 
are  often  sent  by  mistake 
to  this  office.  One 
thing  we  will  say  that 
if  all  the  persons  in  our 
small  town  should  pub- 
lish their  grievances,  the 
Post  Office  Depart- 
ment would  seek  relief 
from  the  insupportable 
clamor  which  would 
prevail  to  at  once  dis- 
continue their  Locomo- 
tive Post  Office,  or  sub- 
stitute for  the  present 
incumbent  an  agent 
who  is  both  qualified 
and  disposed  to  d  i  s  - 
charge  the  duties  of  an 
office  of  such  vast  im- 
portance to  the  public. 

The  rapidity  of 
carrying  the  mails  is 
a  matter  of  far  less  con- 
sequence  than  the 
certainty  and  regularity 
of  doing  so.  We  must 
know  on  what  to  de- 
pend, and  if  we  cannot 
rely  on  the  P.  O.  De- 
partment to  perform 
faithfully  the  business 
with  which  we  entrust 
it,  we  must  carry  our 
own  mail,  or  else  send 
them  by  friends  who 
will  he  fa.thful  to  our 
interests  and  we  ven- 
ture to  say  that  no 
power  CI  the  executive 
and  no  power  under 
H»aven  can  arrest  the 
course  cf  such  a  move- 
ment if  we  become 
once  arous;d  to  it. 

That  we  shall  be 
in  earnest  about  this 
matter  if  the  present 
course  of  things  is  long 
pursued  is  most  certain. 

Remonstrance. 
Meriden,  Conn. 


BACK  TO  THE 
STAGE  COACH 

The  cashier  of  the 
Meriden  Bank  recently 
enclosed  remittances  to 
the  amount  of  $14,- 
000.00  in  a  letter  for 
Boston,  and  as  he  knew 
the  mails  had  been  very 
irregular,  went  to  the 
depot  and  placed  the 
packag?  in  the  hands 
of  the  mail  agent,  stat- 
ing that  it  should  be  in 
Boston  the  next  day. 
A  week  later  it  had 
not  been  received  and 
the  mail  agent  when 
interviewed  stated  that 
he  sent  it  directly  to  the 
Boston  Post  Office  and 
they  were  at  fault,  but 
the  postmaster  claimed 
it  had  never  been  re- 
ceived at  his  office.  It 
finally  turned  up,  how- 
ever, as  at  the  end  cf 
seventeen  days  the 
Boston  Post  Office  d;- 
livered  it  to  the  bank 
addressed.  This  is 
hardly  equal  to  the 
stage  coach  days  of  ten 
or  twelve  years  ago. 

SHOCKING  AC- 
CIDENT-A  shock- 
ing accident  occurred  at 
Griswold's  Factory  on 
Thursday  of  this  week. 
Some  men  at  work  up- 
on a  new  road  were 
blasting  rocks  near  the 
Factory.  A  piece  of 
rock  was  hurled  into  the 
building,  and  struck  a 
young  lady  in  the  back, 
inflicting  such  injury 
that  she  died  in  about 
one  hour  afterwards. 
We  did  not  hear  the 
name  of  the  sufferer.

of  the  new  Directors,  is 
a  contractor  for  prison

misinformed,  we  would 
like  to  be  corrected.

the  great  minds  and  the 
great  wealth  of  the  na- 
tion. There  the  arts 
that  adorn  life  are  cul- 
tivated, and  from  them 
flows  cut  the  know  elge 
that  gives  its  current  of 
thought  to  the  national 

ind. 

The  United  States 
until  recently  have  had 
large  cities  in  the  hope 
rather  than  in  reality. 
N-*w  York  is  now 
sometimes  called  the 
London  of  America. 
Not  that  those  calling 
her  so  suppose  she  will 
ever  come  up  to  that 
mammoth  in  size  and 
importance,  but  be- 
cause she  holds  in  the 
New  World  the  rela- 
tive rank  which  London 
holds  on  the  Old  Con- 
tinent. 

It  would  be  presump- 
tuous to  say  that  her 
population  might  not 
reach  five  millions  with- 

the  next  century 
and  a  half.  Of  the 
f~w  persons  who 
■e  doubted  her 
continual  suprem- 
acy most  have  giv- 
en the  benefit  of 
the  doubt  to  New 
Orleans.  This 
outport  of  the  great 
central  valley  of 
North  America 
was  believed  to 
command  a  des- 
tiny, when  this 
valley  should  be- 
come well  peopled 
that  might  eclipse 
the  island  city  of 
the  Hudson. 

Some  twenty 
years  ago,  the 
writer,  then  living 
n  a  southeastern 
tate,  was  con- 
rinced  that  the 
greatest  city  must, 
the  nature  of 
things,  at  a  not 
very  distant  day, 
grow  up  in  the  in- 
terior of  the  con- 
tinent. The  largest 
city  of  the  interior 


was  then  Cincinnati, 
having  scarcely  20,000 
inhabitants;  and  the  sum 
total  of  all  the  towns  in 
the  great  valley  scarcely 
exceeded  50,000.  St. 
Louis  at  that  time  had 
but  5,000.  and  Buffalo 
aboui  ihe  same  number. 
Here,  then,  was  a  bas- 
is very  small  for  so 
large  an  anticipation. 
Who  could  believe  that 
St.  Louis,  with  5,000 
people,  could  possibly 
within  the  short  period 
of  1 50  years  become 
greater  than  New  York 
with  a  population  of 
near  200,000>  But 
what  seemed  most  ri- 
diculous of  all  was  that 
the  future  rival  of  the 
great  commercial  em- 
porium should  be  placed 
a  thousand  miles  from 
the  ocean,  where  neith- 
er a  ship  of  war  nor  a 
Liverpool  packet  could 
ever  be  expected  to 
irrive.

WHY    ARE    THE   HEROES    OF    THE 

PRESENT    WAR    ENTIRELY 

FORGOTTEN? 


NAUVOO  TEMPLE. 


NAUVOO-A 

Mormon  city  and  set- 
dement  in  Illinois,  now 
deserted.  It  is  in  one 
of  the  finest  locations 
for  a  town  upon  the  riv- 
er, it  being  situated  at 
the  second  and  last  rap- 
ids below  the  Falls  of 
St.  Anthony,  which 
extend  from  that  place 
to  Keokuk,  a  distance 
of  12  miles. 

The  rjreat  Mormon 
Temple  stands  out  con- 
spicuous. It  is  the 
finest  building  in  the 
West,  and  if  paid  for 
would  have  cost  over 
half  a  million  of  dollars. 

It  is  built  of  a  white 
stone,  resembling  mar- 
ble, 80  feet  front  by 
I  50  deep;  200  feet  to 
the    top   of    the    spire. 


The  caps  of  the  pilas- 
ters represent  the  sun; 
the  bases  of  them,  the 
half  moon,  with  Joseph 
Smith's  profile.  The 
windows  between  the 
pilasters  represent  stars. 
A  large  female  figure 
with  a  Bible  in  one 
hand  is  the  vane.  An 
inscription  on  the  front, 
in  large  gilt  letters,  reads 
as  follows: 

'The  House  of  the 
Lord,  built  by  the 
Church  of  Jesus  Christ 
of  the  Latter  Day 
Saints.  Commenced 
April  6,  1841.  ^Holi- 
ness to  the  Lord." 

There  is  in  the  base- 
ment of  the  temple  a 
large  stone  basin,  sup- 
ported by  twelve  oxen 
of  colossal  size,  about  fif- 


teen feet  high  altogether, 
all  of  white  stone  and 
respectably  carved.  A 
staircase  leads  up  to  the 
basin.  It  is  the  font 
where  all  the  Mormons 
were  baptized.  It  is 
seen  in  the  engraving 
standing  beside  the 
Temple,  but  in  the 
basement  is  its  real  situ- 
ation. 

In  New  York  the 
wholesale  stores  em- 
ploy clerks  whose  busi- 
ness it  is  to  go  to  the  ho- 
tels and  make  acquaint- 
ance with  the  country 
merchants  in  order  tc 
induce  them  to  buy 
goods  cf  the  firm  which 
employs  them.  These 
clerks  are  called  drum- 
mers. 


Mr.  Polk  has  officer- 
ed by  original  appoint- 
ment, since  the  com- 
mencement of  the  Mex- 
ican difficulties,  one  regi- 
ment cf  riflemen,  eight 
regiments  of  infantry, 
one  of  dragoons,  and 
one  af  voltigeurs,  whose 
appoinlments  are  in  ad- 
dition to  the  generals, 
commissaries,  paymas- 
ters, quartermaster  and 
surgeons  commissioned 
by  him  in  the  volunteer 
forces. 

The  whole  number 
of  commissions  issued 
cannot  fall  very  short  cf 
one  thousand.  In  mak- 
ing new  appointments,  i 
the  President  is  not! 
limited  or  controlled  by 
any  law.  His  power, 
over  the  secretaries  is  I 
complete,  arbitrary,  and 
irresponsible,  except  to 
his  oath.  There  is  no 
king,  prince  or  sultan 
more  thoroughly  above 
all  legal  restraint  in  his, 
appointments  tSan  the 
President. 


Let  i's  look  at  the 
late  appointments — out 
of  440  new  commis- 
sions issued  to  the  ten 
regiments  we  can  dis- 
cover but  nineteen  who 
had  been  in  service. 
We  are  confident  that, 
however  it  may  be  with 
the  Cabinet  and  the 
President,  the  country 
at  large  rely  upon  offi- 
cers who  have  seen  ser- 
vice in  preference  to 
those  v/1  o  have  not. 

Why  are  the  heroes 
of  the  present  war 
forgotten  and  neglected; 
the  men,  who  ragged, 
sunburnt  and  unshorn, 
were  toiling,  without 
pay  or  sustenance,  over 
the  sands  of  New  Mex- 
ico, while  the  kid-glove 
politicians,  clerks  and 
hangers-on  cf  Pennsyl- 
vania avenue  are  pro- 
moted to  the  offices? 
If  party  did  not  in- 
fluence the  mind  of  the 
President,  how  did  it 
happen  that  of  six 
Brigadier-Generals  and 
two  Major-Gener- 
a's elected  not  one 
Whig  is  to  be 
found? 

To  confirm  our 
opinion  cf  the  su- 
perior fitness  of  the 
appointmentsmade 
by  the  volunteers 
over  those  made  by 
the  Executive,  we 
give  a  list  of  volun- 
teer Colonels  who 
had  been  in  service, 
as  far  as  we  are  in- 
formed :  Jefferson

"SILVER.    PLATE    THAT   WEAR.S" 


HOLLOWWARE-PAST  AND  PRESENT. 


No.  I.     Early  Years. 


Somewhat  over  half  a  eentury  ago  silver  plated  white  metal  hol- 
lowware  superseded  britannia  ware.  The  latter  was  itself  a  usurper, 
having-  ousted  pewter,  which  for  several  centuries  had  occupied  an  im- 
portant place  in  the  house- 
holds, first  of  royalty,  then 
of  the  nobility  and  then  of 
people  of  humble  station  as 
well.  "In  the  later    six- 

teenth and  early  seven- 
teenth century, "  we  are  told, 
'  'pewter  may  be  said  to  have 
begun  to  be  commonly  used 
by  the  people  as  well  as  in 
many  households  of  qual- 
itv."  It  played  an  important  part  in  the  colonial  households  of  this 
c<  umtry. 

Then  came  china,  taking  the  place,  to  a  large  extent,  of  pewter  plates, 
cups  and  dishes,  although  pewter  continued  to  hold  its  own  in  some  lines, 
being  still  employed  for  tea  pots,  pitchers,  candlesticks,  sugar  bowls, 
porringers,  etc.,  and,  on  the  whole,  it  made  a  very  satisfactory  metal. 


Group  of  Pewter  Ware. 


MEN  AND  METHODS. 

In  the  first  half  of  the  nineteenth  century  there  existed  in  Connecticut 
and  Massachusetts  a  considerable  number  of  small  factories  where  pewter 
ware  was  made.  Some  of  these  shops  were  very  humble,  in  many  in- 
stances being  nothing  but  one  or  more  rooms  in  the  dwelling  house  of  the 
proprietor. 

It  was  about  this  time  that  britannia  ware  began  to  supersede  pewter. 
Both  metals  had  tin  for  their  basis,  but  the  substitution  of  other  metals  for 
lead  in  the  alloy  of  britannia  made  that  ware  harder,  less  dingy  and  more 
easily  worked.

"SILVER.    PLATE    THAT    WEARS" 


H 


Some  of  the  manufacturers  in  this  pewter-britannia  period  were  :  Lewis 
lV  Holt  and  J.  A.  Frary,  Meriden,  Conn.  ;  John  Munson,  H.  B.  Ward  &  Co., 
and  Samuel  Simpson,  Wallingford,  Conn.;  J.  B.  &  H.  II.  Graves, 
Savage  &  Danforth,  Middletown,  Conn.;  Lamb  Bros.,  Berlin,  Conn.. 
Boardman  Bros.,  Hartford,  Conn.  ;  Abisha  Doolittle,  Augustus  Sawyer, 
Westfield,  Conn.  ;  Roswell  Gleason,  Dorchester,  Mass.  ;  Graves  &  Whitlock, 
Troy,  X.  Y. 

The  methods  of  manufacture  were  crude.  The  shops  were  operated 
sometimes  by  water  and  sometimes  by  horse  power. 

There  were  no  presses  or  buffing  lathes.  All  handles  and  spouts  after 
casting  were  scraped  and  burnished  by  hand,  while  soldering  was  done  with 
a  foot  bellows  or  with  an  iron. 

Previous  to  1850  there  were  no  rolled  metal  goods  made  in  Connect- 
icut, all  articles  being  cast  in  molds  and  turned  into  shape  by  hand  tools. 
The  process  was  a  slow  one  but  a  skilled  man  cotdd  turn  out  artistic  work. 

In  1852  Horace  C.  Wilcox  and  his  brother,  Dennis  C.  Wilcox,  joined  to 
themselves  nearly  all  the  manufacturers  of  any  consequence  and  the 
Meriden  Britannia  Co.  was  formed. 

SILVER  PLATE. 

Britannia  metal  proved  a  very  popular  successor  to  pewter,  but,  with 
the  discovery  of  an  effective  electro- 
silver  platingprocess  by  Rogers  Bros. , 
then  of  Hartford.  Conn.,  in  1847,  it 
was  lifted  to  a  still  higher  place,  it 
being  perfectly  adapted  for  receiving 
a  silver  coat. 

Through  the  absorption  of  Rog- 
ers Bros.'  interests  by  the  Meriden 
Britannia  Company  the  new  industry 
was  placed  upon  a  solid  foundation. 
Its  growth  from  that  time  on  is  well 
known  to  the  silver  and  jewelry  trade. 

At  first  there  was  some  prejudice 
manifested  against  plated  goods  but  soon  it  was  recognized  that  they 
were  no  mere  imitations  and  trade  and  public  came  to  realize  that  good 
silver  plate  had  a  place — and  an  important  place — of  its  own.

GROWTH  SINCE  1847. 

The  population  of  Cincinnati,  as  given  in 
the  last  United  States  Census  report,  was 
325,902.  It  should  have  been  3,200,000, 
according  to  the  very  interesting  article  in  this 
number  of  The  Standard.  A  prophecy  is 
always  entertaining  reading  after  the  time  for 
its  fulfillment  has  passed. 

The  Cincinnati  of  1906  is  an 
important  and  thriving  city  but 
it  does  not  occupy  so  exalted  a 
position  as  the  writer  of  our 
article  sixty  years  ago  predicted. 

It  was  on  July  22,  1847 
that  the  first  camp  of  Mormons 
moved  into  Salt  Lake  City, 
after  their  long  and  weary  jour- 
ney from  Nauvoo,  111.  The 
Nauvoo  Temple,  a  picture  of 
which  will  be  found  on  the 
first  page,  was  destroyed  the 
year  following,  being  burned 
on  October  19,  1848— the 
work  of  an  incendiary. 

When    we    remember'    that 


frozen  rivers  from  making  the  trip  from  his 
home  near  Columbus,  Ohio.  He  succeeded, 
however,  the  following  spring.  The  death  of 
this  patriarch  broke  a  link  that  bound  the 
beautiful  city  of  1906  to  the  insignificant  village 
of  1847. 


THE  PNEUMATIC  TIRE. 

The  pneumatic  tire  is  usually  regarded  as  a 
very  modern  invention  and  it  is  therefore  in- 
teresting to  learn  that  it  was  known  in  1847. 
Indeed  its  invention  dates  back  two  years  be- 
fore that,  R.  W.  Thompson,  a  civil  engineer, 
having  patented  a  pneumatic  tire  in  1845,  his 
invention  differing  but  little  from  the  present 
form.  At  that  time  there  were  no  cyclists  and 
the  patent  was  allowed  to  lapse  without  having 
reached  any  commercial  importance. 

When  the  bicycle  came  in  the  pneumatic 
tire    had    been   forgotten.      In    1889   John   B. 


the  steam  locomotive  was  still  a  baby  in 
1847,  it  is  a  bit  surprising  to  be  told  that  an 
electric  car,  an  invention  we  are  wont  to  re- 
gard as  modern,  was  exhibited  in  that  year. 
Electric  lighting,  too,  was  being  experimented 
with  in  1847,  but  on  that  subject  we  expect 
to  have  something  to  say  in  a  future  number 
of  The  Standard.  The  cut  on  Page  8  also 
emphasizes  the  fact  that  some  of  our  modern 
innovations  are  not  so  new,  in  theory  at  least, 
as   some  of  us  may  have  imagined. 

In  June  of  the  present  year  occurred  the 
death  of  Abram  H.  Cavender,  at  the  age  of 
93.  Mr.  Cavender  attempted  to  settle  at 
Saint  Paul  in    1847,    but    was  prevented  by 


SL  PAUL 

IN  THE  YEAR   1847  CITY  HAD 

100  INHABITANTS,  CHIEFLY 

HALF-BREEDS. 

St.  Paul,   with   a   population,   according  to 
the  last  census,  of  163,065,  in  the  year    1847 
boasted   "about  one  hundred  persons,  chiefly 
half-breeds."     Two  years   later,    when  Min- 
nesota became  a  territory,    several  American 
families  had  moved  there  and  the  population  of 
the   village  was   about  three   hundred.     The 
views  here  given  show  it  as  it  was  in  its  early 
years  and  as  it  appears  to-day,  the  latter  being 
furnished  us  by  the  Post-Dispatch  of  that  city. 
A  writer   in  Graham's   Magazine  in    1855 
thus  describes  the  beginnings  of 
St.  Paul's  existence: 

"Situated  as  it  was,  immedi- 
ately contiguous  to  the  military 
of  Fort  Snelling  and  in  the  vi- 
cinity of  several  Dakota  villages 
on  the  Minnesota  and  Missis- 
sippi rivers,  it  became  a  choice 
spot  for  those  modern  harpies, 
the  frontier  whisky  sellers,  to 
pitch  their  tents. 

"For  a  time  the  place  was 
without  a  name.     By  the  Da- 
kotas  it  was  called  sometimes 
Imneesia  ska,  or  White  Rock, 
because    of    the    saccharoid 
sandstone  which  underlies  the 
limestone    rock    upon    which 
the  town  is  built;  at  other  times 
they  designate  it  by  a  sentence,  which  trans- 
lated means  "the  place  where  they  sell  whisky." 
"The  origin  of  the  present  designation  was 
in   this    manner:       Those    who    had    erected 
their   log   trading-houses    at    this    point    were 
French  Canadians,  or  mixed  bloods  that  had 
been   voyageurs   of  the  fur    companies.       At 
certain  periods  quite  a  number  would  assem- 
ble  here  from   the  interior,  and  amuse  them- 
selves with  the  fiddle  and  the  dance. 

"On  the  occasion  of  the  first  marriage  of 
one  of  the  French  Canadians,  in  making  out 
the  certificate,  the  log  chapel  in  which  the 
ceremony  was  performed  was  designated  as 
the  Chapel  of  Saint  Paul.  From  that  time 
the  voyageurs  began  to  know  Saint  Paul's 
Chapel,  and  soon  St.  Paul's  became  familiar 
in  the  Indian  country.  When  it  was  chosen 
as  the  capital,  the  possessive  termination  was 
dropped,  and  the  place  became  known  from 
Lake  Itasca  to  Gulf  of  Mexico  as  Saint  Paul.

ELECTRIC  CAR 

FIRST  ONE  EXHIBITED  IN   1847 

AT    DOVER,    N.    H.,    BY 

PROFESSOR  FARMER. 

No  doubt  it  will  surprise  most  readers  of 
The  Silver  Standard  to  learn  that  the  first 
electric  passenger  car  was  exhibited  sixty  years 
ago  at  Dover,  N.  H.,  July  26,  1847.  its  in- 
ventor was  Professor  Moses  G.  Farmer.  The 
car  is  now  in  the  keeping  of  the  Smithsonian 
Institution,  at  Washington. 

Professor  Farmer  was  years  ahead  of  the 
times,  having  lighted  his  parlor  (then  in  Salem, 
Mass.)  with  electricity,  probably  the  first  elec- 
tric light  in  a  homestead.      He  also  used  elec- 


fore  and  aft,  and  about  twenty-two  inches 
high.  1  welve  cells  were  carried  on  each  of 
the  four  shelves  in  a  box.  In  front  of  the  box 
or  tender  was  the  electric  motor. 

Professor  Farmer  was  born  at  Boscawen, 
N.  H.,  February  9,  1820.  He  lived  most  of 
his  life  at  Greenacre-on-the-Piscataqua,  Eli- 
ot, Me.  He  was  buried  there  opposite  his 
wife  in  the  pines  adjoining  the  old  homestead, 
Bitter-Sweet,  which  of  late  years  has  been 
the  rendezvous  of  the  savants  of  the  world. 
There  his  daughter.  Miss  Sarah  J.  Farmer, 
established  a  summer  school,  where  men  and 
women  well  known  in  literature,  science,  art 
and  religion  congregate  during  July  and 
August. 

In  his  early  life  Professor  Farmer  was  a 
proficient  musician,  but  a  severe  fever 
left  with  him  the  memory  of  a  single  tune. 
Shortly  after  this  he  left  Portsmouth,  N.  H., 
teaching    in    a    private    school.       Just    previ- 


tricity  for  cooking.  The  fire  alarm  system 
now  used  in  Boston  was  also  of  his  devising. 
When  we  remember  that  the  telegraph  was 
then  in  its  infancy,  we  may  realize  to  some 
degree  the  advanced  position  he  occupied. 

I  his  is  all  the  more  remarkable  when 
we  consider  the  fact  that  it  was  not  until 
1846  that  he  became  interested  in  the  sub- 
ject of  electricity.  In  that  year,  while  on 
the  way  to  Boston  on  a  business  trip,  he 
happened  to  see  a  man  reading  a  bock 
"Electro- Magnetic  Telegraphy."  He 
bought  a  copy  of  the  work  and  the  interest 
thus  aroused  led  to  the  construction  of  his 
electric  car,  a  sketch  of  which,  by  W.  L. 
Key,  of  Boston,  made  from  the  description 
by  Professor  Farmer  a  few  months  before 
his  death,  n  reproduced  on  this  page. 

The  picture  of  the  up-to-date  electric 
car  illustrates  the  progress  made  in  sixty 
years.  The  car  is  one  manufactured  by 
the  Wason  Manufacturing  Co.,  of  Spring- 
field, Mass. 

Each  of  the  Farmer  cars  was  about  four 
feet  long,  and  1  I  -2  feet  wide.  The  frame 
was  cherry.  On  the  passenger  car  were  two 
seats,  one  at  each  end,  the  passengers  facing 
each  other.  The  seats  were  supported  on  C- 
shaped  steel  springs,  and  were  upholstered  in 
crimson  plush.  The  wheels  were  of  cast 
iron,  about  six  inches  in  diameter,  and  had 
flanges  of  a  little  over  1-4  inch  depth,  being 
supported  at  the  ends  of  the  steel  axle. 

The  electric  current  was  generated  in  forty- 
eight  cells  of  Grove's  battery,  the  size  of  each 
cell  being  about  one  pint  capacity. 

The  cells  were  connected  in  a  series  by 
strips  of  platinum  3-4  of  an  inch  wide,  reach- 
ing to  the  bottom  of  porous  cups.  They  were 
contained  in  a  box  about  twenty  inches  long. 


Station  at  Newport,  where  he  remained  nine 
years. 

In  1881  his  health  gave  way  and  he  be- 
came a  confirmed  invalid.  After  several 
years  treatment  in  New  York,  he  removed  to 
Eliot,  where  he  continued  to  reside,  his 
daughter  acting  as  nurse,  companion  and 
amanuensis.  He  visited  the  World's  Fair  in 
Chicago,  and  there  presented  several  new  c.nd 
wonderful  electrical  inventions,  including  a 
system  of  printing  by  teleg.aphy,  which  he 
did  not  live  to  see  placed  en  a  commercial 
basis.  He  died  in  Chicago  in  the  spring  of 
1893. 

For  the  facts  in  this  sketch  we  are  indebted 
to  Miss  Sarah  J.  Farmer,  Mr.  Augustine 
Caldwell,  of  Eliot,  Me.,  and  to  an  interesting 
article  in  the  Boston  Herald  some  years  ago. 


EARLY  COLLARS  AND  CUFFS. 

Although  collars  were  manufactured  before 
1847,  the  cuff  and  shirt  industry  was  just  get- 
ting on  its  feet  in  that  year.  1  he  collar  busi- 
ness itself  had  not  gained  sufficient  strength  to 
stand  alone  until  very  near  1847,  it  being  in 
1843,  to  be  exact,  that  the  manufacture  of  linen 
collars  and  shut  bosoms  was  engaged  in  as  a 
separate  business,  although  as  a  side  line,"  it 
began  about  seventy-five  years  ago. 

The  first  separate  collar — collars  up  to  that 
time  having  been  attached  to  the  shirts — was 
made  by  the  wife  of  a  Troy  blacksmith  and 
the  first  person  to  conceive  the  idea  of  making 
collars    in    commercial    quantities    was    Rev. 


ous  to  Christmas,  1849,  having  married,  he 
settled  down  in  Dover,  N.  H.,  and  continued 
to  teach  for  a  year  or  t'vo.  He  invented 
and  manufactured  a  novel  type  of  window 
shades,  and  also  paper  curtains   for  windows. 

After  his  first  experiment.  Professor  Farmer 
became  identified  in  December,  1847,  with  F. 
O.  Smith,  South  Framingham,  Mass..  then 
building  a  telegraph  line  from  New  York  to 
Boston.  In  the  summer  following  he  removed 
to  Salem,  taking  charge  of  the  line  from  Bos- 
ton to  Newburyport.  Subsequently  he  under- 
took to  open  offices  along  the  route  of  the 
telegraph  system,  and  place  the  business  on  a 
sound,  working  basis. 

In  1856  he  went  into  the  electrotyping  busi- 
ness, but  a  financial  crisis  the  following  year 
caused  the  firm  to  retire.  In  1872  he  be- 
came   an    electrician    of    the  U.  S.  Torpedo 


Ebenezer  Brown,  a  retired  Methodist  minister 
and  proprietor  of  a  small  dry  goods  store.  The 
manufacture  of  cuffs  and  shirts  in  1847  was 
the  natural  outgrowth  of  the  collar  industry. 

WAGES  IN  1847. 

The  average  rate  of  wages  in  1847  in 
Maine,  New  Hampshire  and  Vermont  was 
for  mechanics  $1  per  day  and  for  laborers 
62  cents  per  day.  In  Massachusetts,  Rhode 
Island  and  Connecticut  it  was  $1.25  for 
mechanics  and  75  cents  for  laborers.  In  New 
York  mechanics  received  75  cents  to  $150 
and  laborers  from  50  cents  to  75  cents 


Texas  was  annexed  in  1845.  The  popu- 
lation in  1847  was  estimated  at  123,000.  By 
the  last  census  Texas  has  a  population  of 
3.048.710.

CINCINNATI 

TO  BE  QUEEN 

[Continued  from  p.  I  ] 

There  are  now  other  i 
m-n,  considered  sane 
men,  who  believe  the  I 
great  city  of  the  nation  j 
is  to  be  west  of  the 
mountains,  and  quite  a 
way  from  the  salt  sea. 
Governor  Bebb,  in  a 
late  address  before  the 
Young  Men's  Library 
Association  of  Cincin- 
nati, expressed  his  de- 
ed d  belief  that  Cin- 
nati  would  in  the  course 
of  a  century  become 
"ths  greatest  agricultu- 
ral, manufacturing  and 
commercial  emporium, 
on  the  continent."  The 
interior  towns  have 
commenced  a  growth 
so  gigantic  that  men 
must  believe  there  is  a 
power  of  corresponding 
magnitude  urging  them 
forward;  a  power  yet 
in  its  infancy,  but  un- 
folding its  energies  with 
astonishing  rapidity. 

Let  us  make  some 
comparisons  of  the  lead- 
ing eastern  and  western 
cities.  New  York  was 
commenced  nearly  200 
years  before  it  increased 
to  100,000  people. 
Cincinnati,  according  to 
Gov.  Bebb,  ha:  now, 
fifty  years  from  its  com- 
mencement, 100,000 
inhabitants.  Boston 
was  200  years  in  ac- 
quiring its  first  50,000. 
New  York,  since  I  790, 
when  it  numbered  33,- 
131,  has  had  an  aver- 
age duplication  every 
fifteen  years.  This 
would  make  her  pop- 
ulation in  1850,  530,- 
096.  This  is  very 
near  what  it  will  be, 
including  her  suburb, 
Brooklyn. 

Cincinnati  has,  on 
the  average  since  1 800, 
when  it  had  7  50, 
doubled  her  numbers 
every  seven  years; 
while  New  York,  on 
the  average  of  sixty 
years,  has  scarcely 
doubled  hers  in  every 
period  of  fifteen  years. 
If  New  York  is  com- 
pared with  Cincinnati, 
during  the  same  fifty 
years,  it  will  be  seen 
that  the  period  of  her 
duplication  averages 
over  fifteen  years.  She 
had  in  1800.  60.489. 
Doubling  this  every  fif- 
teen years,  she  should 
have,  in  1850,  nearly 
650,000.  This  num- 
ber will  exceed  her  act- 
ual population  more 
than  100,000.  where- 
as Cincinnati  in  1850 
will  certainly  exceed 
96.000. 

Let  us  now  suppose 
that    for   the    next    54 


years  after  1850,  the 
ratio  increase  of  New 
York  will  be  such  as  to 
make  a  duplication 
every  eighteen  years, 
and  that  of  Cincinnati 
every  ten  years.  New 
York  will  commence 
with  about  500.000, 
which  will  increase  by 
the    year    1868  to    I  ,- 

000,000;  1886  to  2,- 
000.000;  1904  to  4,- 
000,000. 

Cincinnati  wtll  com- 
mence in  1850  with  at 
least  100,000,  which 
will  double  every  ten 
years;  so  that  in  1 860 
it  will  be  200,000;  in 
1 870  it  will  be  400,- 
000;    1880   it    will  be 

800,000;  1890  it  will 
be  1,600,000;  1 900  it 
will    be    3,200.000; 

1904  it  will  be  4,066, - 
667. 

The  resulting  figures 
look  large,  and  to  most 
readers  will  appear  ex- 
travagant.  


Let  us  suppose  the 
duplication  of  New 
York  for  the  next  1 00 
years  to  be  effected  on 
an  average  of  twenty 
years  and  that  of  Cin- 
cinnati of  twelve  years. 
New  York  will  have 
in   1850  500,000 

1870  1,000,000 
1890  2,000.000 
1910  4,000.000 
1930  8.000,000 
1950  16,000,000 

Cincinnati  will  have 


1850 
1862 
1874 
1886 
1898 
1910 
1922 


100,000 
200,000 
400,000 
800,000 
1 ,600,000 
3,200.000 
6,400,000 
1934  12,800.000 
1946  25,600.000 
This  looks  like  car- 
rying the  argument  to 
absurdity;  but  if  these 
two  leading  cities  be 
allowed  to  represent 
all  the  cities  in  their  re- 
spective    sections,     the 


result  of  the  calculation 
is  not  unreasonable.  It 
is  not  beyond  possibility 
and  is  not  even  im- 
probable. 

NULLIFICATION 

IS  THREATENED  BY 
ALABAMA. 

Colonel  Walker  ha; 
introduced  into  the  Ala- 
bama Legislature  reso- 
lutions declaring  that 
under  no  circumstances 
will  this  body  recognize 
as  binding  any  enact- 
ment of  the  federal 
government  which  has 
for  its  object  the  prohi- 
bition of  slavery  in  any 
territory  to  be  acquired 
either  by  conquest  or  by 
treaty,  south  of  the  line 
of  the  Missouri  com- 
promise. That  the  act 
of  the  Pennsylvania 
Legislature,  passed  at 
the  last  session,  to  pre- 


yent  the  claiming  of 
fugitive  slaves,  is  a  vio- 
'ation  of  the  Constitu- 
tion and  would  justify 
retaliation  by  setting 
aside  and  disregarding 
like  stipulations  in  that 
instrument  in  favor  of 
those  States,  among 
them  free  access  of 
their  ships  and  com- 
merce to  our  ports. 

The  ladies  -,hould 
never  indulge  11  the 
loaferish  cant  phrases 
that  are  often  in  general 
use.  We  notice  by  an 
exchange  paper  that 
one  recently  found  her- 
self much  embarrassed 
by  doing  so.  She  often 
used  the  words  "noth- 
ing else,'  and  the  prac- 
tice became  a  habit 
with  her. 

One  day  the  Minis- 
ter of  the  parish  came 
to  see  her.  She  was 
making  a  bustle. 
"What  are  you  mak- 


ing  that  useless  article 
for?"  said  he.  "Oh, 
to  wear  to  church," 
was  the  reply.  "Real- 
ly," rejoined  the  good 
man,  "you  will  not 
wear  that  thing  to 
church,  will  you?"  "I 
■han't  wear  anything 
else,"  said  the  lady. 
The  Minister  was 
greatly  astonished  and 
the  lady  embarassed. 
Never  use  a  cant  phrase 
again. 

MOTTOES  FOR 
LETTERS     In  a 

New  Hampshire  village 
several  young  ladies, 
entirely  ignorant  of  the 
name  and  use  of  the 
new  Post  Office  stamps, 
applied  at  the  Post 
Office  for  mottoes,  and 
instead  of  placing  the 
stamp  upon  the  fare  of 
the  letter,  placed  them 
immediately  over  the 
seal  on  the  back  cf  the 
envelope, 


IN  THE  AIR 

RAILR0ADBU1LT 
ABOVE  STREET. 

It  will  be  observed 
that  the  telegraph  wires 
in  the  engraving 
are  fixed  on  posts  in 
trom  of  the  third  story 
windows  cf  houses. 
Underneath  the  wires, 
and  in  front  of  the  sec- 
ond story  windows  is  a 
railway  track  on  each 
side  of  the  street.  These 
tracks  are  supported  by 
strong  arches  resting  <  n 
the  pavements,  and  ro 
arranged  that  the  ordi- 
nary business  cf  th? 
street,  the  carriageway 
and  sidewalk  are  not  at 
all  i  nterf  ered  with. 
Those  in  the  en- 
graving are  represented 
as  being  propelled  by 
the  new  atmospheric 
railway  principle  by  ex- 
hausting the  air  in  a 
large  tube  in  the  mid- 
dle of  the  track,  by 
means  of  a  stationary 
steam  engine  at  each 
end  of  the  line. 

Such  is  the  value  of 
space  in  large  cities, 
and  such  the  multitude 
of  persons  going  from 
one  part  cf  the  city  to 
another,  that  there  is 
every  reason  to  believe 
this  project  of  a  railroad 
would  be  successful  and 
yield  large  profits  in  a 
city  like  New  York. 
In  Broadway,  for  in- 
stance, the  throng  of 
carriages  and  pedes- 
trians is  fo  great,  that 
some  project  of  this 
character  will  have  to 
be  adopted. 

A  lady  riding  a  few 
days  since  on  horseback 
through  one  cf  the  Bos- 
'on  streets  was  stared  at 
particularly  hard  be- 
cause she  sported  a  pair 
of  nice,  clean,  snowy 
white  pantalettes  with 
ruffled  straps!  We 
have  heard  ef  ruffled 
:hirts,  collars,  and  tem- 
pers, but  never  befor- 
of  ruffled  straps.

most  suggestive  charac-

witnessed  upon  the  ar-

A  NEW  ENTER- 
PRISE—A project  has 
recently  been  started  for 
connecting  New  York 
with  the  interior  by  a

that  all  New  York  will 
have  to  do  to  open  a 
communication  for  ships 
of  four  thousand  barrels 
freight  from  there  to 
Chicago  is  to  enlarge 
her  late  canal  from  Troy 
to  Lake  Champlain  and 
the  Canadians  will  do 
the  rest.  With  the 
ocean  on  one  side  and 
her  Erie  Railroad  and 
Erie  canal  on  the  othir, 
and  her  northern  ship 
canal  giving  her  a  ship 
communication  with  the 
Great  Lakes,  New 
York  would  enjoy  a  po- 
sition with  a  mighty 
commerce  such  as  no  city 
ever  enjoyed  before.

The  second  cause  of 
immigration  is  the  ex- 
tent, fertility,  and  easy 
tenure  of  our  public 
lands  yet  unoccupied. 

Nine-tenths  of  all 
immigrants  who  land 
on  our  coast  go  into  the 
interior  of  the  Middle 
States,  to  the  Far  West, 
or  become  the  builders 
of  our  railroads  and 
canals. 

There  are  two  extra- 
ordinary causes  of  im- 
migration. The  first  is 
the  famine  in  Ireland 
and  scarcity  in  other 
countries  of  Europe. 

The  second  is  the 
venality  of  certain  class-

HOLLOWWARE-PAST  AND  PRESENT. 


No.  II.     Disturbing  Elements. 


When  the  buying  publie  had  once  come  to  realize  the  worth  of  plated 
hollowware — all  hollowware  at  that  period  being  good  hollowware,  well 
made,  honestly  plated — the  demand  increased  rapidly  and  the  industry  began 

to  experience  a  period  of  phenomenal 
growth.  Skilled  workmen  were  em- 
ployed and  a  great  deal  of  attention 
was  paid  to  the  designing,  with  the 
result  that  the  demand  increased 
steadily. 

Not  only  did  the  new  goods  ap- 
peal to  those  who,  not  having  the  means 
to  purchase  solid  silver,  had  been  forced 
to  be  content  with  pewter  or  britannia 
ware,  but  the  more  wealthy  came 
to  realize  that  plated  hollowware  had  a 
definite  place  in  their  households, 
in  exactly  the  same  way  that  plated  flatware  has.  These  were  the  days  of 
great  prosperity  for  the  makers  and  in  consequence  for  the  sellers  of  silver 
plated  hollowware. 


A    "MERIDEN"    GROUP 
Produced  in  the  Early  '60s. 


FADS  AND    FRAUDS. 

This  prosperity  continued  for  some  years.  Then  came  an  interruption. 
About  fifteen  years  ago  the  hollowware  business  ran  into  one  of  the  worst 
kind  of  snags  that  threaten  the  navigator.  They  call  this  sort  of  a  snag  a 
"fad."  A  dealer  may  combat  all  kinds  of  difficulties  and  come  out  trium- 
phant,   only  to  meet  defeat  in  the  case  of  a  fad. 

The  fad  we  speak  of  was  the  "sterling"  bugaboo.  Now,  good  sterling, 
of  course,  is  the  finest  kind  of  silverware — and  it  costs  accordingly.  Poor 
sterling,  however,  is  another  matter.  Good  plated  ware — Mkriden  Standard 
— is  immeasurably  its  superior.  The  trade  knows  this.  But  when  the  "ster- 
ling" fad  sprang  up  the  dealer  was  swamped.  The  demand  was  for 
"sterling" — any  old  kind  of  "sterling,"  the  poorest  made,  the  least  artistic  the 
better,  because  it  was  cheap. 

Another  imfortunate  circumstance  was  the  jeweler's  attempt  to  supply 
the  demand  for  china  and  art  goods.      The  dealer  is  now  beginning  to  realize 


Supplied  to   retailers   by    all  leading  jobbers 


& 


SILVER..    PLATE    THAT    WEAR.S" 


that  this  stepping  aside  from  the  beaten  path  of  his  trade  was  not  a  financial 
success.  The  "sterling"  fad  may  have  been  beyond  his  control,  but  in  the 
case  of  the  china  and  art  goods  departure  he  was  guilty  of  at  least  contribu- 
tary  negligence. 

A  third  disturbing  element  that  tended  to  discredit  good  silver  plate 
was  the  placing  upon  the  market  of  greatly  inferior  goods,  made  of  poor  ma- 
terial by  incompetent  workmen,  and  covered  with  the  thinnest  kind  of  plat- 
ing. People  "bit"  because  the  goods  were  cheap,  but,  discovering  the  fraud, 
their  disgust  caused  them  to  turn  not  only  against  the  poor  goods  but  silver 
plate  in  general. 


FUTURE    OF   PLATED    HOLLOWWARE. 


It  looks  now  as  if  plated  hollowware  was  coming  into  its  own  again. 
The  call  for  "sterling" — anything  so  that  it  is  "sterling" — is  dying  out.  The 
buying  public  is  beginning  to  use  the  horse  sense  which  it  possesses  in  so 
large  a  measure  but  which  failed  when  brought  face  to  face  with  the  "ster- 
ling" fad  and  the  cheap  plated  ware  craze. 

The  dealer,  too,  realizes  that  there  should  be  a  good  profit  for  him  in 
plated  hollowware — the  best  kind,  Meriden  Standard.  A  little  effort  on  his 
part,  a  little  local  advertising  along  this  line,  instructions  to  his  salespeople  to 
explain  the  virtues  of  plated  hollowware,  should  work  wonders.  The  fact 
that  some  of  the  leading  deal- 
ers who  have  been  wont  to 
relegate  plated  hollowware  to 
an  unimportant  part  of  the  store 
are  now  displaying  it  promi- 
nently— and  with  gratifying  re- 
sults— shows  which  way  the 
wind  is  blowing. 

Our  advice  to  talk  plated 
hollowware  is,  of  course,  not 
wholly  disinterested,  but  we 
sincerely  believe  that  it  will 
prove  of  great  benefit  to  the 
dealer.  There  is  a  good  profit  in  plated  hollowware.  There  is  no  reason 
why  it  should  not  prove  a  very  profitable  line  during  the  coming  season. 
At  any  rate,  that  is  the  way  that  the  situation  appears  to  us.  All  that  is 
needed,  we  believe,  is  a  pull  altogether  by  maker  and  dealer.  We  are 
ready  to  pull — are  you?

J847-IMMIGRATION-J906. 

A  casual  perusal  of  the  newspapers  and 
magazines  of  1847  will  disclose  the  fact  that 
the  subject  of  immigration  was  occupying  the 
thoughts  of  many.  The  tide  was  turning 
westward  strongly  in  that  year.  The  famine 
in  Ireland  was  driving  many  of  her  sons  from 
her  borders  and  the 
United  States  was  the 
Land  of  Promise  they 
sought. 

All  Europe  suffered 
from  the  failure  of  the 
crops  and  the  Irishman 
had  plenty  of  company 
in  his  journey  to  the 
new  home.  Compared 
with  the  figures  of  to- 
day the  number  of  im- 
migrants in  1847  was 
not  large,  but  it  was  no 
inconsiderable  number 
for  nearly  sixty  years 
ago.  The  infusion  of 
foreign  blood  at  a  time 
when  the  republic  had 
not  much  more  than 
gotten  accustomed  to 
finding  itself  firmly  upon  its  own  feet  was  a 
tremendously  important  event  and  presented 
problems  that  were  recognized  as  exceedingly 
grave.  It  is  most  natural,  then,  that  we  should 
find  so  much  space  devoted  in  the  publica- 
tions of  the  1847  period  to  the  subject  of 
immigration. 

The  number  of  immigrants  landed  during 
the  year  1 847  was  239,270.  In  1 905,  accord- 
ing to  the  annual  report  of  Commissioner 
Frank  P.  Sargent,  there  were  1,026,499.  For 
the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30  last,  there  were 
1,100,073. 

The  number  denied  entrance  to  this  country 
last  year  was  12,433. 

During  recent  years  Italy,  Austria,  Hun- 
gary and  Russia  have  sent  over  hosts  of 
their  people.  Sixty  years  ago,  if  the  immi- 
grant was  not  an  Irishman,  he  was  pretty 
sure  to  be  a  German.  From  1841  to  1850 
we  received  780,000  exiles  from  the  Emer- 
ald Isle.  Germany  sent  the  next  largest 
number— 435,000.  In  1850  the  Irish  con- 
stituted over  forty-two  per  cent,  of  the  entire 
foreign  population. 

Between  I  783  and  1820  it  is  believed  that 
only  250,000  immigrants  came  to  our  shores. 
The  number,  however,  gradually  increased 
until  1847,  when,  as  we  have  said,  the  failure 
of  the  crops  in  Europe  gave  a  startling  impetus 
to  the  movement.  The  problems  involved  are 
today  more  grave  than  they  were  sixty  years 
ago.     As  showing  the  changed  conditions  in 


the  East,  for  instance,  it  is  interesting  to  read 
the  following  from  the  American  Magazine 
of  the  year  1834,  the  statement  made 
being  practically  as  correct  for  1847  as  for 
1834. 

"It  is  in  New  England  that  you  find  Jona- 
than at  home.  In  the  other  states  there  is  a 
mixture,  greater  or  less,  of  foreign  population, 
but  in  New  England  the  people  are  homo- 
geneous and  native;  the  emigrant  does 
not  settle  there — the  country  is  too  full  of 
people,  while  the  fertile  soil  of  the  West 
holds  out  superior  attractions  to  the  stran- 
ger." 

Among  those  who  "came  over"  about 
1847  we  find  some  notable  names — names  of 
men  who  have  made  great  and  lasting  impress- 
ions on  the  life  of  the  nation.  Andrew  Car- 
negie "landed"  in  1848  and  Archbishop  Ire- 
land in  1849.  Thomas  Nast,  whose  pencil 
so  boldy  attacked  the  mighty  Tweed,  was  an 


immigrant  boy  in  1846,  as  were  Edward  and 
Thomas  Moran,  the  artists,  in  1844. 

Among  other  items  in  this  number  of  The 
Standard  to  which  we  would  particularly  di- 
rect the  reader's  attention  are  those  dealing 
with  the  beginnings  of  electric  lighting,  and 
the  rumor  of  an  Atlantic  cable. 

Our  second  article  in  the  series  on  "  Hol- 
low ware — Past  and  Present,"  should  be  read 
by  every  seller  of  silverware.  There's  a  mes- 
sage in  it  for  him. 


TYPOGRAPHER 

INVENTION  OF  1847  PERIOD  WAS 

ANCESTOR  OF  MODERN 

TYPEWRITER. 

It  was  in  1874  that  the  typewriter  was 
placed  on  the  market  for  general  sale.  Trans- 
pose the  last  two  figures  of  this  date  and  we 
have  1847 — familiar  to  our  readers — in  which 
year  and  in  1856  A.  Ely  Beach,  of  New 
York,  secured  patents  on  a  machine  involving 
the  system  of  type  bearing  levers  arranged  in  a 
circle,  swingingtoward  and  printing  at  a  common 
center.  The  inked  ribbon  and  also  the  bell 
indicating  the  end  of  the  line  were  features  of 
this  machine,  which,  although  slow  in  action, 
embodied  principles 
which  have  since  been 
successfully  utilized  and 
are  today  prominent 
features  of  the  typewrit- 
ing machine.  Another 
predecessor  of  the  mod- 
ern typewriter,  patented 
about  the  same  time  as 
Mr.  Beach's  invention, 
was  the  "typographer" 
of  John  Jones,  of  Roch- 
ester, N.  Y.,  which 
is  illustrated  here,  and 
contrasted  with  a  mod- 
ern machine.  It  was 
described  as  follows  : 

"Strictly  speaking, 
this  is  a  machine  for 
copying  manuscript  by 
printing  it  in  letter  form. 
It  is  a  neat  and  ingenious  little  printing  press 
for  letters. 

"  The  letter  paper  is  put  on  the  cylinder, 
C,  which  is  pushed  in  towards  the  center  of 
the  rings  before  printing  is  commenced,  for 
every  line. 

"As  the  printing  ring  of  type  revolves  or  is 
moved  round  by  the  handle,  D,  every  time  the 
said  handle  is  brought  down  the  specific  letter 
on  the  type  ring  leaves  its  impression  on  the 
paper,  and  cylinder,  C,  is  moved  by  the  same 
action,  a  small  distance  forward  to  leave  space 
for  the  next  letter.  The  index  ring.  A,  is  for 
the  purpose  of  showing  what  letter  or  figure 
the  handle,  D,  hangs  over,  in  order  to  press 
it  down  and  imprint  a  like  letter  on  the 
paper. 

"When  the  cylinder,  C,  moves  the  paper 
to  the  end  of  the  line,  a  small  alarm  is 
sounded,  and  the  said  cylinder  is  run  back 
on  its  ways,  and  in  doing  so  it  is  turned  one 
notch  around  to  leave  a  space  for  the  next 
line.  As  the  type  ring  passes  over  the  ink 
rollers,  each  type  receives  its  ink  for  printing. 
"  This  ingenious  machine  is  very  compact, 
not  over  a  foot  square,  and  is  not  compli- 
cated considering  the  work  it  performs. 

As  already  stated  it  was  not  until  1874 
that  the  typewriter  was  placed  on  the  mar- 
ket, and  during  the  first  few  years  only  a 
small  number  was  sold.  "  People,"  we  are 
told,  "were  not  only  indifferent,  but  were 
antagonistic."

DETROIT 


CEASED  TO  BE  THE  CAPITAL  OF 

THE  STATE  OF  MICHIGAN  IN 

THE  YEAR  1847. 

It  was  in  the  year  1847  that  Detroit  ceased 
to  be  the  capital  of  the  State  of  Michigan,  a 
position  she  had  held  for  ten  years.  Her  pop- 
ulation in  that  year  was  less  than  18,000. 
The  last  United  States  census  reported  it  as 
285,704,  almost  that  of  the  entire  state  in 
1847—300,000. 

The  Detroit  of  1847  is  described  as  fol- 
lows: 

"Detroit  is  the  concentrating  point  of  the 
commerce  and  banking  of  the  whole  State ;  in 
fact,  there  are  no  banks  in  the 
State  except  in  Detroit. 
More  than  two-thirds  of  the 
exports  from  the  State  are 
from  Detroit,  and  over  three- 
fourths  of  the  imports  into  the 
State  are  into  the  single  port 
of  Detroit. 

"The  most  of  the  stores  are 
substantial  brick  buildings, 
there  being  several  very  fine 
blocks  of  three  and  four  story 
brick  stores,  which  together 
with  the  warehouses,  many 
very  good  dwelling  houses, 
churches,  and  other  public 
buildings,  give  the  town 
rather  an  imposing  appear- 
ance as  seen  from  the  river, 
or   from    the  opposite   shore   at   Windsor. 

"  The  city  is  supplied  with  water  from  the 
Detroit  river  by  means  of  a  hydraulic  estab- 
lishment in  the  upper  part  of  the  city. 

"  There  are  in  Detroit  sixteen  churches :

The  value  of  Detroit's  exports  in    1847  was    resulted  in  postponing  the  settlement  of  Mich- 


$3,883,318;  imports,  $4,020,559.  She  led 
Cleveland,  Chicago,  Milwaukee  and  the  other 
upper  lake  ports  above  Buffalo  in  the  amount 
of  wool  and  lumber;  she  was  "  the  leading 
primary  flour  market  of  the  upper  lakes,"  al- 
though the  figures  for  1847  were  surpassed  by 
those  of  Cleveland.  In  variety  of  articles  re- 
ceived in  considerable  quantities  for  export 
Detroit  was  third  among  the  upper  lake  ports, 
Toledo  and  Cleveland  being  first  and  second 
respectively. 

In  1848  the  Michigan  Central  railroad 
erected  a  large  freight  depot — "the  largest  per- 
haps in  the  world,  100  feet  wide,  and  extend- 
ing along  the  river  800  feet,  with  a  wharf  in 
front  of  it  40  feet  wide." 

The  settlement  of  Michigan  occurred  20 
years   later  than  should    have  been  the  case. 


igan  until  twenty  years  later.  Hunt's  Maga- 
zine for  July  1 848  (from  which  much  of  the 
material  for  this  sketch  was  derived)  said  re- 
garding this  unfortunate  report : 

"  It  has  been  shrewdly  hinted  that  the  old 
French  setllers  out-Yankeed  the  Yankee,  and 
put  a  very  successful  and  profitable  joke  upon 
the  surveyors.  Hospitable  and  kind  and  offi- 
cious, they  entertained  the  surveyors  at  the 
River  Basin  and  Detroit,  and  occasionally  lent 
them  guides,  who  led  them  over  almost  im- 
passable marshes,  through  swamps  and  over 
sand  knolls,  till  their  minds  were  properly 
impressed  in  regard  to  the  capabilities  of  Mich- 
igan. In  subsequent  years  the  secret  has  been 
slyly  let  out  that  the  fur  trade,  doomed  to  cer- 
tain destruction  by  the  inundation  of  settlers, 
was  too  valuable  a  prize  to  be  relinquished  if 
it  could  be  saved  a  few  years 
longer  by  wit  or  strategem." 

The  views  of  Detroit  here 
given  contrast  the  city  of  the 
1847  period  with  that  of 
1906.  We  are  indebted  to 
Pearson's  Magazine  for  the 
cut  showing  the  old  city. 


CANNING. 

The  art  of  hermetically 
sealing  tomatoes  in  tin  cans 
was  first  employed  in  1847, 
by  Harrison  W.  Crosby, 
when  he  was  acting  as  stew- 
ard of  Lafayette  College, 
Easton,  Pennsylvania.  This

OCTOBER.  1847. 


NEW  LIGHT 

ELECTRICITY  MADE 
TO  SUPPLY  IT. 

A  Mr.  Staite  has  se- 
cured a  patent  in  Lon- 
don for  rendering  light 
available  by  electricity, 
a  subject  to  which  we 
have  frequently  directed 
attention  through  our 
columns.  Mr.  Staite 
has  constructed  an  elec- 
tric lamp  and  has  pro- 
duced a  powerful  vol- 
ume of  light  from  a 
battery  of  very  small 
power. 

Amongst  several  ap- 
plications which  he  con- 
templates may  be  men- 
tioned one.  viz:  tele- 
graphing by  means  of 
flashes  of  light  through 
colored  media.  With 
four  sets  of  electrodes 
for  example,  placed  in 
glasses,  colored  white, 
red,  green  and  blue, 
the  whole  alphabet, 
with  the  numerals,  are 
indicated  by  a  very 
simple  code  of  signals, 
and  with  astonishing 
rapidity. 

The  key-board  of 
the  telegraph  is  so  ar- 
ranged that  each  key  in 
the  series  is  colored  red, 
white,  green  and  blue, 
and  when  either  key  is 
pressed  down,  it  com- 
pletes the  circuit  with 
that  particular  electrode 
at  the  distant  station 
which  exhibits  the  same 
colored  flash.  There 
may  be  any  number  of 
keys,  and  one  to  strike 
a  bell  at  the  conclusion 
of  each  word,  or  for 
the  ordinary  purpose  of 
drawing  attention,  etc. 
For  night  signals  on 
railways,  Mr.  S.  pro- 
posed to  have  fixed, 
say,  one  enclosed  in  a 
red  glass,  one  in  green, 
and  one  in  white.  The 
battery  wires  are  so 
arranged  that  which- 
ever lamp  is  required 
to  show  a  light,  the  at- 
tendant at  the  station 
completes  the  circuit 
accordingly,  and  vice 
versa.  The  red  light 
mayindicate  "dinger," 
the  green  light  'cau- 
tion," and  so  on. 
These  lights  may  be 
shown  at  any  distance 
from  the  stations  and  be 
under  the  perfect  con- 
trol at  the  same  time, 
of  the  attendants  at  the 
station,  a  system  calcu- 
lated to  be  of  great  ser- 
vice in  preventing  acci- 
dentsal  nighl,  especially 
in  dark  or  foggy  weath- 
er. Mr.  S.  uses  the 
self-sustaining  percolat- 
ing battery  of  Messrs. 
Brett  and  Little, 
Americans.  It  is  hoped 
success  will  crown  his 
efforts. 


BARNUM'S  RESIDENCE. 

The  above  engraving  represents  Mr.  Barnum's  splendid  mansion,  or  villa,  near  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  constructed 
in  the  Oriental  style.  This  magnificent  structure  is  of  a  composite  order,  of  the  Byzantine,  Moorish,  and  Turkish 
styles  of  architecture.  Its  entire  front  is  124  feet,  the  wings  being  thrown  off  irregularly,  with  domed  conservatories 
at  each  extremity;  the  main  building  consists  of  three  stories,  each  having  broad  piazzas  supported  by  colonnades  of 
graceful  pillars,  surmounted  by  minarets  of  the  most  elegant  appearance.  The  cost  of  the  structure  and  grounds 
will  be  some  sixty  thousand  dollars. 


SLAVERY   IN 
NEW    ENGLAND 

— The  Boston  AtSen- 
eum  says:  "A  portion 
of  our  readers  will 
doubtless  be  surprised 
to  learn  that  slavery  ex- 
ists in  New  England, 
and  that  men  and  wom- 
en are  sold  or  leased  at 
public  auction.  Such 
is  the  fact.  The  per- 
sons thus  barbarously 
treated  are  guilty  of  the 
dreadful  crime  of  pov- 
erty, and  because  they 
are  unable  to  take  care 
of  themselves  and  the 
town  in  which  they  live 
has  no  accommodation 
they  are  sold  to  individ- 
uals. The  purchasers 
are  obliged  to  feed  and 
clothe  these  wicked 
paupers    at    the    price 


agreed  upon,  which  is 
paid  by  the  town,  and 
are  at  liberty  to  get  as 
much  labor  out  of  them 
as  they  can.  Able 
bodied  men  have  stood 
by  at  these  sales  and 
seen  their  own  relatives 
sold  into  slavery —their 
cousins,  uncles  and 
aunts,  and  even  parents. 

CALIFORNIA 
NEWSPAPER-It 

appears,  among  govern- 
ment dispatches,  that  a 
newspaper  was  issued 
at  Monterey,  August 
15th,  called  "The 
Californian,"  by  Rob- 
ert Semple.  Itisissued 
every  Saturday,  at  five 
dollars  a  year.  It  is  the 
size  of  a  single  leaf  of 
fools-cap  paper. 


STEAM  FACT- 
ORY IN  HART- 
FORD—"A  com- 
pany has  been  formed 
in  this  city,"  says  the 
Hartford  Courant, 
"with  a  capital  of  $10,- 
000  for  the  purpose  of 
manufacturing  goods 
from  wool  or  cotton  by 
steam.  They  are  now 
laying  the  foundation  of 
their  factory  in  Little 
Grove  Street  near  the 
corner  of  Potter.  It  is 
to  be  1  40  feet  long  by 
40  feet  wide  and  4 
stories  high. 

"We  are  informed 
that  those  who  have 
been  engaged  in  steam 
factories  express  the 
opinion  that  with  the 
improved  machinery 
steam    power    can    be 


used  with  quite  as  good 
economy  as  water — 
the  cost  of  the  former 
being  no  more  than 
what  is  usually  paid  for 
water  privileges  and  for 
heating  the  buildings." 

SUBMARINE 
TELEGRAPHS- 

The  London  Mining 
Journal  for  August  1 4, 
contains  a  project  for 
laying  down  a  tele- 
graphic line  of  commu- 
nication between  the 
west  of  IrelandandNova 
Scotia,  to  be  composed 
of  stout  copper  wires 
twisted,  enclosed  in  an 
india  rubber  pipe.  Sup- 
pose that  it  did  not 
break  in  the  middle, 
would  not  anchors, 
wrecks,  &c.  interfere?   i

TWO  RUNA- 
WAYS-Calvin  Wal- 
do, jailor,  and  B.  F. 
Dickinson,  deputy  sher- 
iff, offer  a  reward  of 
$25  for  the  arrest  of 
John  W.  Ross,  who 
broke  from  the  Prange 
County  Jail,  Chelsea, 
V t.  He  is  described 
as  being  about  5  feet  6 
inches  in  height,  about 
18  years  old,  had  on  a 
tweed  sack  suit  of  red- 
dish color,  with  black

with  gilt  buttons,  dark

whiskers  of  about  ten 
days'  growth  and  of 
sandy  complexion. 

An  Eastern  boss,  ad- 
vertising a  runaway  ap- 
prentice describes  him 
as  being  "thickly  set, 
usually  wearing  a 
glazed  hat  five  feet  high , 
and  iron  shod  shoes  a 
little  cross-eyed,"  &c. 

MECHANICS 
FOR  THE  WAR- 

forty-three  mechanics, 
composed  of  black- 
miths,  carpenters,  sad- 
dlers, armorers,  &c, 
irrived  in  this  city  on 
Saturday,  from  Pitts- 
burgh. They  are  in 
the  employment  of  the 
Government,  and  re- 
ceive about  forty-five 
dollars  per  month  and 
one  ration  per  day. 
They  are  a  fine  looking, 
ntelligent  set  of  men, 
ind  we  are  gratified 
that  out  of  the  evil  of 
war  comes  the  good  of 
giving  them  employ- 
ment and  high  wages. 
They  leave  for  their 
destination  either  today 
or  tomorrow. —  [Cin-

SILVER.    PLATE    THAT    WEARS'* 


HOLLOWWARE-PAST  AND  PRESENT. 

No.  III.     Return  of  Prosperity. 

We  believe  that  plated  hollowware  is  about  to  enter  upon  a  phenomenally 
prosperous  era.  Our  reason  for  so  thinking  is  not  merely  that  we  desire  it 
should,  but  cold  facts  show  that  the  present  demand  is  for  something  better 
than  poor  sterling  but  less  costly  than  good  sterling.  There  is  one  correct 
answer  to  that  problem,  and  that  answer  is  good  plated  ware — Meriden 
Standard  hollowware. 

Reports  from  many  quarters  show  that  the  buying  public  is  taking  a 
greater  degree  of  interest  in  plated  hollowware  than  it  has  for  years.  Be- 
lieving that  such  a  demand  means  increased  business,  we  desire  to  be  in  a 
position  not  only  to  meet  the  demand  but  to  hasten  it.  We  urge  every  dealer, 
therefore,  to  talk  plated  hollowware,  and  to  remind  the  public  to  look  for 
these  trade-marks: 

MADE  AND  GUARANTEED  BY

IPllOl  L^J  Iw.m.  MCUNTSJ 

The  question,  so  far  as  it  concerns  dealer  and  maker,  is  just  this : 
i.      There  should  be  a  good  profit  in  plated  hollowware. 

2.  The  place  that  the  ware  should  fill  is  so  obvious  that  it  is  no  difficult 
task  to  make  the  public  understand  that  it  is  to  its  interest  to  buy. 

3.  The  uartial  usurpation  of  the  rightful  position  of  plated  hollowware 
by  china  and  art  goods  appears  to  be  at  an  end. 

4.  Great  things  are  accomplished  by  co-operative  endeavor — a  principle 
we  have  demonstrated  and  are  demonstrating  every  day.  If  you  have  fol- 
lowed our  general  advertising  the  past  months,  you  know  we  have  been 
doing  our  part.     Are  you  ready  to  do  yours  ? 

Do  not  be  afraid  to  educate  the  public.  Meriden  Standard  hollow- 
low  ware  is  far  superior  to  poor  sterling,  china  or  art  goods.  You  know  it  is 
and  why  it  is.      Let  the  people  know,  too.

THE  SECOND  VOLUME. 

The  second  volume  of  The  Silver  Standard 
closes  with  this,  the  December,  number.  If 
our  readers  have  derived  a  tithe  of  the  pleas- 
ure and  instruction  from  a  perusal  of  its  pages 
that  we  have  experienced  in  their  preparation, 
the  Silver  Standard  has  not  been  in  vain. 

In  the  first  number  of  Vol.  II  we  explained 
our  purpose  in  issuing  the  little  publication. 
Those  of  our  friends  who  have  followed  our 
efforts  with  any  degree  of  interest  will  be  able 
to  determine  whether  we  have  accomplished 
what  we  had  in  mind. 

A  glance  at  your  file — if  you  are  among 
those  who  have  kept  files  -  will  show  if  "The 


fore  the  memorable  discovery  of  gold  and  the 
city  just  prior  to  the  recent  catastrophe.  The 
"striking  similarity"  was  brought  out  by  fig- 
ures proving  that  the  South  was  more  interest- 
ed in  manufactures  in  1847  than  we  who 
hear  so  much  about  the  "new"  south  may  have 
supposed. 

The  next  number  was  a  special  issue,  gotten 
out  as  a  feature  of  the  Centennial  celebration 
of  Meriden,  Conn.,  and  was  distributed  large- 
ly among  Centennial  visitors. 

No.  4  contrasted  old  and  new  St.  Paul. 
In  that  number  (he  electric  car  was  found  to 
be  an  older  institution  than  doubtless  most 
of  us  supposed,  the  first  of  its  kind  hav- 
ing been  exhibited  at  Dover,  N.  H.,  July  26, 
1847.  A  projected  elevated  railroad  for  New 
York  also  was  illustrated  in  that  issue. 

Detroit  was  the  city  described  in  No.  5, 
and  the  modern  typewriter  was  shown  to  have 
had  a  predecessor  in  1847. 

Thus  have  we  "kept  the  faith."  "In  delv- 
ing into  the  musty  annals  of  the  first  half  of  the 
nineteenth  century,"  to  quote  again  from  our 
first  number,  "we  have  been  forcibly  impressed 
by  the  fact  that  the  year  1847  was  remarka- 
ble for  other  reasons  than  that  great  reason 
which  we  have  known  so  long — the  discovery 
of  the  electro-silver  plating  process  by  Rogers 


ATLANTA 


CITY    RECEIVED    ITS    CHARTER 

AND  ITS  PRESENT  NAME 

IN  YEAR  1847. 

In  1847  Atlanta  sought  and  obtained  its 
charter  and  what  we  may  term  the  real  his- 
tory of  the  great  Southern  city  began.  In 
1836  there  had  been  but  one  house— the 
little  log  cabin  of  Mr.  Hardy  Ivy.  Atlanta 
was  at  that  time  known  as  Terminus,  being  the 
eastern  end  of  the  Western  and  Atlantic  Rail- 
road. Three  years  later  Mr.  John  Thrasher, 
an  old  woman  and  her  daughter  were  the 
only  inhabitants. 

In  1842  there  were  not  more  than  three  or 
four  families.  Three  very  important  things 
happened  in  the  latter  year.  The  first  two- 
story  building  was  erected,  the  first  steam  en- 
gine was  brought  to  the  settlement  and  the  first 
land  sale  was  made  at  auction. 

The  following  year  the  people  secured  a 
corporate  name  and  charter  from  the  Legisla- 
ture   and  Terminus    became  Marthasville,   so 


Standard  for  1906"  is  what  we  hoped  to 
make  it  when  we  described  it,  last  February, 
as  follows: 

"The  first  and  last  pages  remain  as  they 
were  in  form,  reprinting  the  news  of  1847  as 
found  in  various  newspapers  and  other  peri- 
odicals of  that  year.  The  fourth  and  fifth 
pages  will  present  views  of  localities,  build- 
ings, etc.,  as  they  appeared  in  1847.  and  as 
they,  or  their  successors,  appear  today.  A 
short  description  will  accompany  the  illustra- 
tions and  help  the  latter  to  emphasize  the  great 
changes  that  have  taken  place  since  1847,  or 
the  striking  similarity  between  the  ideas  of  to- 
day and  those  of  nearly  sixty  years  ago." 

In  No.  1  we  presented  a  view  of  the  cor- 
ner of  Broad  and  George  (now  Sansom)  streets, 
Philadelphia,  with  the  "poverty  caste"  build- 
ing of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of 
Philadelphia  ot  1847,  and  contrasted  that  with 
the  same  corner  as  it  is  now,  the  site  being  oc- 
cupied by  the  Land  and  Title  Company's  sky- 
scraper. Showing  "the  striking  similarity  of 
nearly  sixty  years  ago,"  the  principle  of  the 
unique  aerial  ferry  at  Duluth  was  found  to 
have  been  familiar  to  the  readers  of  the  Scien- 
tific American  two  generations  before  the  fer- 
ry actually  was  built. 

In  No.  2  the  Chicago  of  1847  and  of  1906 
were  contrasted,  as  were  the  street  sprinklers 
used  in  those  periods. 

No.  3  showed  San  Francisco  (then  known 
as  Yerba  Buena)  as  it  appeared  the  year  be- 


Bros.  During  the  course  of  the  year,  it  will 
be  our  privilege  to  demonstrate  this  fact  in  the 
successive  numbers  of  The  Silver  Standard." 
We  feel  very  confident  that  we  have  demon- 
strated that  fact,  and,  although  time  and  space 
would  permit  of  but  hasty  glances  here  and  there, 
we  trust  that  those  glances  have  shown  something 
of  "the  events  and  thoughts,  the  customs  and 
fashions  of  the  year  1847."  We  hope,  some 
day  not  too  far  distant,  to  present  a  sketch  of 
this  time  in  more  connected  form  and  at  some- 
what greater  length.  As  a  view  not  merely 
of  the  year  1847  but  of  the  period — a  period 
both  picturesque  and  eventful — it  should  prove 
of  value  to  all  interested  in  the  history  of  our 
country. 

The  first  number  of  Vol.  Ill  of  the  Stand- 
ard will  appear  in  February,  at  which  time  an 
announcement  of  our  plans  similar  to  that  of 
the  present  year,  quoted  above,  may  be  ex- 
pected. We  may  say  at  this  time,  however, 
that  we  hope  to  make  the  magazine  as  inter- 
esting in  the  coming  year  as  it  has  been  in  the 
past — indeed  we  believe  that  The  Standard  of 
1 907  will  be  of  still  greater  value  to  its  readers. 

That  the  Standard  has  met  with  favor  is 
evidenced  by  the  cordiality  shown  by  many  of 
the  ttade  and  by  the  very  liberal  use  of  extracts 
from  its  columns  by  prominent  newspapers  | 
— one  paper  reproducing  the  entire  first  page  I 
of  one  number. 


called  in  honor  of  a  daughter  of  Ex-Governor 
Lumpkin. 

During  1844  and  1845  the  first  factory,  an 
old  tread  saw-mill,  was  erected,  the  first  news- 
paper, the  Luminary,  was  established,  the 
first  school-house  and  church,  combined  in 
one,  were  erected  and  the  first  through  train 
from  Augusta  to  Marthasville  was  put  on. 

Three  more  newspapers  came  in  1846,  and 
the  first  important  mass  meeting  was  held,  in 
celebration  of  the  completion  of  the  Macon 
and  Western  Railroad.  In  1847,  as  we  have 
said,  the  city  received  its  charter  and  became 
Atlanta.  The  first  city  election  was  held 
January  28,  1848. 

From  this  time  on  progress  was  both  steady 
and  rapid.  Nor  is  the  end  in  sight,  for  the 
beautiful  city  of  1906  believes — and  there  is 
every  reason  to  think  believes  rightly — that  the 
present  day  conditions  are  but  prophetic  of 
still  greater  advancement. 

In  1861  the  population  had  risen  to  13,- 
000  and  business  had  increased  proportion- 
ately. New  enterprises  and  industries  created 
by  the  war  brought  more  people  to  the  city 
than  were  drawn  to  the  battle-field  and  the 
cily  refused  to  be  ruined  by  the  conditions  that 
dealt  the  South  as  a  whole  so  severe  a  blow. 

The  population  in  1864  was  20,000.  By 
1880  it  had  become  37,409  and  Atlanta  had 
become  the  forty-eighth  city    in  the    country. 


1847— THEN 


THE  SILVER  STANDARD- 


-xow-  190f> 


In  1890  there  were  65,533  people  and  in 
1900  the  number  was  89,872.  According  to 
Governor  J.  M.  Terrell's  estimate,  there  are 
now  1  1  1 ,000  within  and  at  least  25,000  out- 
side the  city  limits  who  get  their  living  in 
Atlanta,  making  a  community  of  I  36,000. 

The  National  Association  of  Manufacturers 
had  its  inception  in  1895  during  the  Atlanta 
Exposition.  At  a  meeting  of  that  body  at  its 
birthplace,  last  year,  Governor  Terrell  delivered 
an  address  from  which  we  beg  leave  to  quote 
a  rew  passages,  as  follows: 

"Steel  and  stone  skyscrapers  have  shot  up 
in  rapid  succession  and  the  heart  of  the  city 
looks  like  the  lower  part  of  Manhattan  Island. 
There  is  no  other  city  in  the  South  that  has 
the  metropolitan  appearance  that  Atlanta  pre- 
sents. It  has  one  square  mile  that  can  hardly 
be  equalled  anywhere  on  this  continent  out- 
side of  New  York,  Chicago  and  Philadelphia. 

"The  business  of  Atlanta  is  growing  twice 
as  fast  as  its  population,  although  the  inhabi- 
tants are  increasing  three  times  as  fast  as  they 
are  in  the  country  at  large.  The  city  is  south- 
ern headquarters  for  most  of  the  great  national 
corporations  that  do  business  in  this  section. 
It  is  the  third  insurance  center  of  the  country, 
and  easily  the  first  in  the  South. 

"Railways,  telegraphs,  telephones  and  many 
such  interests  have  here  their  headquarters  for 
from  five  to  twelve  states.  The  manufactured 
products  of  Atlanta  have  increased  from  seven- 
teen to   thirty    millions   since    the    last    census 

(1900). 

"Georgia  produces  a  cotton  crop  worth 
ninety  millions,  or  more  than  the  gold  product 
of  the  entire  country.  The  states  making  up 
the  southeastern  group,  of  which  Atlanta  is  the 
natural  center,  produce  a  cotton  crop  worth 
about  three  hundred  millions  and  turn  out  cot- 
ton goods  worth  over  one  hundred  millions. 

"Atlanta  is  on  the  crest  of  the  ridge  that  di- 
vides the  watershed  of  the  Atlantic  from  that 
of  the  Gulf,  and  part  of  the  rain  that  falls 
within  the  city  limits  flows  to  the  Ocean,  while 
the  remainder  flows  into  the  Gulf.  An  alti- 
tude of  1 ,050  feet  above  the  sea  gives  the  city 
a  bracing  atmosphere,  which  is  conducive  to 


vigor  ot  body  and  mind.  The  people  are  re- 
markably energetic,  and  whatever  they  do  is 
done  well.  About  ninety- five  per  cent,  of  its 
people  were  born  in  the  southern  states. 

"  In  some  respects  this  city  is  the  most  im- 
portant educational  center  of  the  South. 
About  14,000  pupils  are  enrolled  in  the  pub- 
lic schools,  and  5,000  students  are  entered  in 
institutions  of  the  higher  education.  The  fin- 
est polytechnic  institution  in  the  South  is  the 
Georgia  'Tech,'  and  its  graduates  hold  import- 
ant positions  all  over  the  world.  We  have 
140  churches,  four  theaters,  several  libraries, 
numerous  parks,  and  one  of  the  most  charm- 
ing residence  communities  in  the  South." 

In  addition  to  being  a  center  of  the  cotton 
trade  and  manufacture, 
Atlanta  deals  largely  in 
tobacco,  etc.,  and  has 
important  iron,  flour 
and  other  manufactures. 
The  cotton  exposition 
was  held  there  in  1881. 

Atlanta  University, 
the  well-known  negro 
educational  institution, 
was  founded  in  the  year 
1845. 

Atlanta  became  the 
state  capital  in  1 868  and 
today  the  city,  as  has 
been  well  said,  "is  at 
once  the  political  and 
commercial  capital  of 
Georgia."  The  growth 
of  the  city  during  its 
sixty  years'  existence  is 
illustrated  by  the  three 
views  accompanying 
this  article,  the  same  lo- 
cality, Whitehall  and 
Peachtree  streets,  be- 
ing shown  in  all  three. 
The  low  buildings  seen 
in  the  first  view  gave 
place  to  more  important 
ones,  as  shown  in  the 
second    cut,    which    is 


from  a  photograph  taken  in  1887,  and  these 
in  turn  have  made  way  for  modern  structures. 
The  sixteen-storied  building  in  the  background 
of  the  picture  of  Atlanta  today  has  been  com- 
pleted recently.  It  is  fitted  up  in  magnificent 
style  and  is  the  pride — and  justly  so — of  At- 
lanta people.  It  was  built  out  of  the  profits 
of  a  well-known  non-alcoholic  beverage, 
which  is  especially  popular  in  the  South. 

Pervading  the  life  of  the  city  there  is  the 
spirit  of  enterprise  and  progress.  The  visitor 
is  impressed  with  the  fact  that  the  people  are 
on  the  move.  Atlanta  combines  many  of  the 
best  features  of  both  north  and  south,  and 
typefies,  to  a  large  extent,  the  whole  state 
of  Georgia.  Uniting,  as  it  does,  with  its  nat- 
ural resources  the  energy  and  ingenuity  of  its 
mechanical  enterprises,  the  city  cannot  but 
grow  in  importance  as  the  years  go  by. 

Other  cities  that  received  their  charters  in 
1847  are  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  Syracuse,  N.  Y., 
and  New  Bedford,  Mass. 

The  first  named  was  laid  out  in  1821.  New 
Bedford  separated  from  Dartmouth  in  1787. 
Syracuse  was  settled  about  the  end  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  and  received  its  present 
name  in  1824. 

Salt  Lake  City  was  laid  out  in  1847. 

Merrimack,    Mass.,    became    Lawrence    in 

1847. 

Jersey  City  had  a  population  of  5,862  in 
1847. 

Worcester,  Mass.,  was  made  a  city  in  1848 
and  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  in  1849. 

From  1840  to  1850  the  aggregate  number 
of  new  buildings  erected  in  the  city  of  New 
York  was  15,409.

"A  UNIQUE  PUBLICATION." 

With  the  present  number  The  Silver  Stand- 
ard enters  upon  the  third  year  of  its  existence 
— and  does  so  confidently.  Volume  I  was 
more  or  less  an  experiment,  but  the  cordiality 
of  its  reception  seemed  to  warrant  publication 
a  second    year.     Any 


John  S.  Phillips,  formerly  of  McClure's 
Magazine,  now  editor  and  publisher  of  the 
American  Magazine,  finds  that  "these  pieces 
and  pictures  of  the  past  are  very  interesting 
indeed.  Some  of  the  pictures  are  prophetic. 
I  was  not  aware  that  sixty  years  ago  they  were 
printing  engravings  of  the  Elevated,  but  here 
is  one  in  your  book." 

"Your  Silver  Standard,"  writes  T.  J.  Zim- 
merman, editor  of  System,  "appeals  to  me  as 
one  of  the  most  interesting  pieces  of  literature 
that  1  have  read  in  a  long  time;  and  this  is  the 
best  possible  compliment,  I  believe,  that  can 
be  paid  to  the  advertising  merit  of  any  piece  of 
printed  matter." 

Mr.  Arthur  Brisbane,  editor  of  Hearst's 
New  York  Evening  Journal,  has  "found  great 
interest  in  looking  over  it." 

Mr.  R.  H.  Tithenngton,  editor  of  Munsey's 
Magazine,  terms  The  Standard  "a  very  unique 


doubts  we  may  have 
had  regarding  the  "last- 
ing" power  of  The 
Standard  weredispelled 
during  the  twelve 
months  just  passed. 
Whatever  sense  of  nov- 
elty disappeared  from 
the  minds  of  its  regular 
readers  would  seem  to 
have  been  compensated 
for  by  an  increase  of 
interest  in  the  period  of 
our  country's  history  of 
which  The  Standard 
treats.  Our  friends 
have  multiplied  and  the 
warmth  of  their  com- 
mendation has  in- 
creased. 

As  affording  some 
idea  of  the  impression  made  by  The  Standard 
both  as  a  house  organ  and  as  a  publication  of 
interest  to  those  outside  the  trade,  we  quote  a 
few  words  from  some  of  the  letters  we  have 
received.  The  writers'  names  will  be  recog- 
nized as  prominent  in  public  life,  literature  and 
business. 

Col.  George  Harvey,  editor  of  the  North 
American  Review,  writes  that  The  Standard 
"seems  to  me  very  cleverly  done.' 

Mr.  Richard  Watson  Gilder,  editor  of  the 
Century,  finds  that  "the  quaint  volume"  is  a 
"very  useful  reminder  of  old  times,  made  with 
ingenuity  and  patience." 

Mr.  Henry  M.  Alden,  editor  of  Harper's 
Magazine,  thinks  The  Standard  "of  very  great 
interest." 

"This  little  publication  is  very  attractively  got- 
ten up"  in  the  opinion  of  Mr.  Albert  Shaw, 
editor  of  the  Review  of  Reviews. 

Postmaster-General  George  B.  Cortelyou 
speaks  of  The  Standard  as  an  "interesting 
work,  which  I  am  very  glad  to  have. 

Mr.  George  French,  editor  of  Profitable 
Advertising,  believes  it  "is  more  interesting  to 
people  outside  the  craft  it  is  issued  for  than 
most  organs. 

Mr.  Edward  Bok,  editor  of  the  Ladies' 
Home  Journal,  writes:  "I  was  intensely  inter- 
ested in  it.  Old  wood-cuts  always  have  had 
a  fascination  for  me,  and  surely  they  are  here 
in  all  their  delicious  joy.  I  would  like  few 
things  better  than  a  complete  set." 


LOOPING  THE  LOOP  IN  1847. 

Above  is  reproduced  a  cut  that  appeared  in  the  Pictorial  Sun,  published  in  1847,  a  semi-annual  edition 
of  the  New  York  Sun,  showing  a  new  form  of  recreation  then  in  vogue  in  Paris. 


publication,"  and  finds  "the  way  in  which  you 
bring  out  the  contrast  between  1847  and  1907 
is  exceedingly  ingenious." 

President  Thorpe,  of  the  Keystone  Publish- 
ing Company,  writes  as  follows:  'As  I  have 
Volume  1  here  in  our  library,  I  find  on  com- 
parison that  the  new  volume  is  much  more 
imposing,  though  I  am  pleased  to  see  the  same 
quaint  style  maintained.  The  illustrations  in 
this  volume  strike  me  as  being  peculiarly  inter- 
esting, and  what  of  the  matter  I  have  been 
able  to  scan  so  far  I  find  both  entertaining  and 
instructive.  It  is  history  in  a  very  palatable 
and  digestive  form." 

The  Standard  appealed  to  Mr.  Elbert  Hub- 
bard, of  Philistine  and  "Little  Journeys"  fame, 
as  "quite  the  most  unique  thing  that  I  have 
seen  in  recent  time,"  while  Mr.  Joel  Chandler 
Harris  ("Uncle  Remus")  declared  that  "it 
has  interested  me  very  much,  especially  the 
bits  of  history  and  the  miscellaneous  informa- 
tion you  have  succeeded  in  picking  up.  Good- 
ness knows  where  you  found  it  all,  but,  having 
found  it,  you  have  made  a  most  attractive 
volume." 

The  press,  especially  the  daily  papers  and 
the  advertising  magazines,  have  treated  The 
Standard  very  kindly  and  have  liberally  quoted 
from  it.  The  New  York  Sun  of  January  6, 
1 907,  printed,  as  an  editorial,  a  column 
review  of  Volume  II,  making  free  use  of 
items  it  deemed  especially  noteworthy.  As 
every  advertiser  knows,   no  amount  of   money 


could   buy    space   in    the    New    York    Sun's 
editorial  columns. 

In  this  connection  the  opening  paragraph  of 
a  review,  about  two  columns  in  length,  that 
appeared  in  the  Jewelers'  Circular- Weekly, 
January  16,  1907,  will  be  found  of  interest: 

"Volume  II  of  The  Silver  Standard,  that 
most  unique  and  entertaining  periodical  pub- 
lished by  the  Meriden  Britannia  Co.,  has  been 
issued  in  book  form,  and  constitutes  one  of  the 
most  interesting  volumes  we  have  seen  in  a 
long  time.  The  Silver  Standard  is  so  different 
from  any  other  magazine  that  it  is  in  a  class 
by  itself  and  certainly  no  other  house  organ 
can  approach  it  in  entertaining  and  instruc- 
tive literature.  The  New  York  Sun  de- 
voted over  a  column  of  its  editorial  page  in  a 
recent  Sunday  edition  to  a  review  of  The 
Silver  Standard.  This  is  a  testimonial  that  no 
other  house  publication  or  no  form  of  advertis- 
ing literature  has  ever 
received  before,  and 
that  any  magazine  or 
any  publication  of  any 
character  might  well  be 
proud  of." 

TheCincinnatiCom- 
mercial  Tribune  was 
another  prominent  pa- 
perto  give  extended  no- 
tice to  The  Standard, 
reprinting  an  article 
from  the  August  num- 
ber which  occupied 
nearly  a  column  in  the 
Tribune. 

The  Lexington,  Ky., 
Leader  on  May  10, 
1 906,  printed  an  ex- 
tract from  The  Stand- 
ard of  over  a  column 
in  length,  and  again  on 
December  25,  last,  devoted  nearly  another 
column  to  our  little  magazine,  and,  in  addition 
to  a  review  of  the  December  number  as  a 
whole,  reprinted  in  its  entirety  an  article  half 
a  column  in  length.  The  cut  accompanying 
the  article  also  was  reproduced. 

The  Fort  Worth,  Texas,  Record,  on  Feb- 
ruary II,  1906,  reproduced  in  facsimile  form 
the  entire  first  page  of  The  Standard. 

The  Springfield  Republican  also  printed  a 
very  appreciative  notice. 

Besides  the  papers  mentioned,  many  others 
have  referred  to  us  from  time  to  time  at  greater 
or  less  length. 

The  most  remarkable  thing  about  it  is  that, 
after  all,  The  Standard  is  not  primarily  litera- 
ture or  history  but  "advertising  matter."  This 
being  so,  the  fact  that  it  has  succeeded  in  so 
interesting  readers  outside  the  trade — many  of 
them  men  of  prominence — and  has  called  forth 
extended  and  appreciative  notice  in  a  paper  of 
the  New  York  Sun's  standing,  leads  us  to  be- 
lieve that  it  must  be  read  with  profit  by  those 
in  the  trade  and  that  while  it  depicts  the  year 
1847  by  presenting  "trifles  that  bear  the  form 
and  pressure  of  the  time,"  it  reminds  the  silver 
merchant  of  the  trade-mark  that  bears  the  date 
of  sixty  years  ago. 

We  assure  all  our  friends — both  those  in 
and  those  out  of  the  silver  trade — thatweshall 
endeavor  to  furnish  a  periodical  as  interesting 
in  the  future  as  so  many  of  its  readers  have  de- 
clared it  to  be  in  the  past.

'S o\v— 1907 


NEW  YORK'S  GROWTH 


WONDERFUL  CHANGES  THAT  HAVE  TAKEN  PLACE  IN  THE  METROPOLIS 

DURING  THE  PAST  SIXTY  YEARS. 


Perhaps  no  city  in  the  world  has  changed 
so  much  as  New  York  within  the  last  sixty 
years.  Many  citizens  are  now  living  and  in 
active  business  who  recall  the  city  of  their  boy- 
hood as  a  very  different  place. 

Then  there  was  an  element  of  beauty,  with 
trees  and  church  spires,  wide  rivers  between 
farms  and  woods,  and  a  number  of  distinct 
cities  on  Long  Island  and  Jersey. 

The  traveler  sailing  up  the  bay  sought  New 
York  for  some  time  in  vain,  frequently  mis- 
taking Brooklyn  for  the  greater  city,  and  was 
surprijed  when  he  was  told  that  the  great  city 
was  yet  far  off  on  the  northwest. 

Now,  even  from  the  Narrows,  the  city  is 
seen,  and,  approaching  nearer,  there  looms  up 
a  mass  of  building,  brilliant  in  color  and  of  a 
peculiar  architecture  as  distinct  in  its  way  as 
the  Gothic  of  the  middle  ages,  or  Venice  in 
its  prime. 

In  1847  the  scene  was  very  different.  The 
traveler,  perhaps  in  one  of  the  Black  Ball 
packets,  sailed  along  the  outer  bay,  seeing  at 
Rock  away  a  single  hotel  and  at  Coney  Island 
another  small  one.  All  else  was  desolate 
sands  for  miles. 

After  passing  the  Narrows  the  shores  on 
each  side  had  the  aspect  of  a  smiling  farm 
region,  or  were  yet  clothed  with  thick  woods. 
To  the  east,  many  little  suburban  towns 
stretched  along  before  Brooklyn  was  reached. 
Back  of  these  lay  wooded  heights  and  farms, 
some  as  they  had  remained  since  the  Revolu- 
tion, among  them  many  a  Dutch  and  Colonial 
farm  house. 

On  the  west,  Staten  Island  was  all  country, 
with  a  spire  here  and  there  far  back  amid  the 
hills.  On  the  shore  near  the  ferry  landings 
the  white  and  yellow  buildings  of  the  Quar- 
antine Station   made  a  pretty  picture  but  the

place  was  detested  by  the  Staten  Island  peo- 
ple and  the  voyager  alike. 

As  the  traveler  went  on  he  passed  the  three 
islands.  Where  the  Statue  of  Liberty  now  is 
were  the  grassy  walls  of  a  small  fort,  the  sec- 
ond island  was  stony  and  barren;  in  the  cen- 
ter stood  a  large  square  brick  house  said  to  be 
a  powder  magazine. 

On  Governor's  Island  were  many  tall  pop- 
lar trees  that  rustled  pleasantly  and  waved 
gracefully  in  the  breeze.  The  uniforms  of  the 
soldiers  of  that  day  were  gay  and  splendid. 
On  the  tufted  walls  of  the  fort  were  huge  can- 
nons on  timber  carriages  and  all  was  warlike 
and  imposing. 

Towards  the  city  the  sandy  shores  of  the 
island  ran  far  out,  and  on  these  the  fishermen 
placed  their  shad  nets  in  the  spring.  Some- 
what further  up  the  East  River  arose  a  dan- 
gerous rock.  This  remained  until  a  short  time 
after  1850,  when  it  was  blown  up  by  one 
Mallefort,  a  Frenchman,  the  first  one  who  ever 
succeeded  in  blowing  up  rocks  by  gunpowder 
placed  under  water  and  exploded  by  electricity. 
This  exciting,  and  at  that  time  novel,  event 
was  seen  by  many  thousands  of  citizens  in  New 
York  and  Brooklyn,  including  the  writer. 

The  Battery  at  the  end  of  the  city,  though 
smaller  than  at  present,  was  a  mass  of  beauti- 
ful green  trees.  What  is  now  the  Aquarium 
was  then  Castle  Garden,  some  distance  out  in 
the  water  and  reached  by  a  bridge. 

Built  for  a  fort  in  the  early  part  of  the  last 
century,  many  remarkable  events  have  been 
connected  with  this  building. 

The  great  celebration  when  the  Erie  Canal 
was  finished  and  the  reception  of  Lafayette 
when  he  last  came  to  America  were  among 
the  most  notable.  Here  were  held  the  fairs  of 
the  American  Institute  for  some  years. 


Between  1845  and  1855  it  was  the  Opera 
House,  and  many  celebrated  singers  have  been 
heard  in  it.  Here  Jennie  Lind  sang  on  her 
coming  to  America. 

It  was  a  unique  and  pleasant  place  for  an 
entertainment.  Back  of  the  tiers  of  seats  were 
rows  of  windows  looking  out  on  the  bay  and 
city,  and  one  could  step  from  a  window  to  a 
board  walk  outside  where  one  might  sit  or 
walk  in  the  fresh  air,  and  have  a  delightful 
view  of  the  river  and  the  city.  This  was  the 
forerunner  of  the  roof  garden  of  to-day. 

The  extension  of  the  Battery  joined  Castle 
Garden  to  the  city;  it  ceased  to  be  a  place  of 
amusement  and  for  many  years  was  the  emi- 
grant depot. 

Just  across  the  street  from  the  north  gate  of 
the  Battery  stood  No.  1  Broadway,  a  cele- 
brated Colonial  residence,  called  the  Kennedy 
House  during  the  Revolution,  and  in  1847 
known  as  "Washington's  Headquarters." 
Here  lived  many  historic  persons — Lord  Howe, 
General  Clinton  and  General  Washington  for 
a  short  time. 

Next  door  were  the  remains  of  the  King's 
Arms  Tavern,  where  were  held  many  meetings 
of  patriots  during  the  days  preceding  the  war 
for  independence.  Opposite  was  Bowling 
Green,  one  of  the  few  places  of  that  time  that 
yet  remain. 

This  was  the  first  park  the  city  had  and  is 
today  the  oldest.  It  has  undergone  many 
changes.  The  writer  recalls  its  earliest  foun- 
tain— a  pile  of  gray  rocks,  down  which  the 
water  trickled  or  flashed  in  little  streams.  In 
the  basin  of  the  fountain  there  was  kept  dur- 
ing a  summer  a  pair  of  gay  crimson  and  white 
flamingoes  that  attracted  much  attention. 

All  around  the  little  park  were  many  fine 
dwellings  of  wealthy  and   worthy  old    New

THE  SILVER  STANDARI)- 


Yorkers  and  the  neighborhood  was  quiet  and 
secluded,  for  the  real  life  and  business  of 
Broadway  did  not  begin  until  just  above  Wall 
street. 

It  is  hard  for  one  to  realize  that  in  1847  to 
1850  the  retail  business  of  the  city  was  con- 
centrated on  Broadway  between  Wall  and 
Bleecker  streets.  Here  were  all  the  fine  stores, 
art  galleries  and  hotels,  most  of  the  theaters 
and  numbers  of  small  shops  for  the  sale  of 
special  articles,  gloves,  laces,  ribbons  and  the 
countless  things  now  sold  in  the  great  depart- 
ment stores. 

The  wholesale  region  was  on  Broad  street 
and  on  the  streets  lying  around  it.  The  dry 
goods  men  were  on  Liberty  and  Cedar  streets. 
The  lawyers  were  on  Nassau  street.  Wall 
street  had  the  banks,  as  today. 

Perhaps  the  most  thronged  and  busy  place 
then  was  Courtlandt  street.  It  was  lined  with 
hotels,  and  at  its  foot  started  the  Albany  boats, 
affording  the  only  means  of  reaching  Albany 
and  the  west.  Another  great  street  was  Ful- 
ton, to  the  Fulton  Ferry. 

The  Astor  House,  built  in  1835,  was  the 
great  hotel,  where  put  up  the  political  powers 


of  that  day,  Webster,  Clay,  Seward,  Weed 
and  many  others.  The  United  States  on  Ful- 
ton street  and  Lovejoy's  on  Park  Row  were 
other  hotels  of  fame. 

Opposite  the  Astor  House  on  Park  Row 
stood  the  Park  Theater,  the  Drury  Lane  of 
America;  on  the  corner  of  Ann  and  Broad- 
way was  Barnum's  Museum,  and  here  for  a 
short  time,  a  foot  bridge*  crossed  Broadway. 
On  Chambers  street  near  Center,  was  Burton's 
Theater,  then  the  home  of  comedy  in  New 
York,  and  almost  in  sight  of  it  on  Chatham 
street  stood  the  National,  where  "Uncle  Tom's 
Cabin"  was  first  played. 

The  Academy  of  Design  was  on  Nassau 
street  and  the  only  great  library  the  city  had 
had  just  moved  from  Nassau  street  to  the  cor- 
ner of  Broadway  and  Walker  street. 

A.  T.  Stewart  had  a  small  store  for  laces 
and  dry  goods  on  Broadway.  Just  opposite, 
on  the  east  side  of  Broadway,  between  Reade 
and  Chambers  streets,  he  built  his  great  "mar- 
ble palace,"  as  it  was  called  in  those  days,  the 
building  we  see  today  but  heightened  somewhat. 

*  Illustrated  on  Page  4,  Vol.  l.,No.  7,  of  The  Silver 
Standard. 


Ball  &  Black,  then  the  leading  jewelers, 
were  at  the  corner  of  Murray  street;  Tiffany, 
Young  &  Elliss  at  271  Broadway,  corner  of 
Chambers  street;  Appleton,  the  book  publish- 
er, was  near  Fulton  street;  Putnam  just  above 
Duane,  near  the  Hospital;  Scribner  in  Clin- 
ton Hall.  Williams  &  Stevens,  then  the  larg- 
est art  store  and  picture  gallery,  was  near  Du- 
ane street  and  nearly  opposite,  on  the  east  side 
of  Broadway  was  the  Broadway  Theater. 
On  this  side,  also  within  a  block  or  two,  was 
the  Deschaux  art  store,  Pike's  optical  instru- 
ment store,  and  yet  further  up  was  Goupil's, 
destined  in  time  to  have  a  celebrated  gallery 
where  could  be  seen  many  of  the  works  since 
famous  in  public  and  private  collections. 

As  you  went  up  Broadway  the  retail  stores 
became  more  numerous  and  varied. 

At  Canal  street  to  the  west  of  Broadway 
were  several  of  the  more  famous  dry  goods 
stores,  as  Lord  &  Taylor's,  Arnold  &  Con- 
stable's, and  many  other  fine  retail  stores.  To 
the  southward  of  Canal  street  was  St.  John's 
Park  and  Hudson  street,  then  one  of  the- most 
beautiful  places  of  residence  in  the  city. 

On  Broadway  were  the  famous  saloons.    In 


u 


1847 — TIIEN- 


-THE  SILVER  STANDARD- 


-now— 1907 


the  Irving  House,  corner  of  Reade  street,  was 
Delmonico's  restaurant  and  bar.  Higher  up 
on  the  West  Side  were  Taylor's  and  Thomp- 
son's. These  were  ladies'  saloons.  The 
large  room  occupied  by  Taylor's  yet  remains, 
but  there  is  no  trace  of  its  former  splendor.  It 
was  one  of  the  show  places  of  the  town  while 
it  lasted.  There  were  gilded  columns,  painted 
ceilings,  marble  floors  and  tables,  stained  glass 
and  cut  glass.  All  was  glitter,  show  and 
splendor,  but  the  cooking  was  poor  and  the 
service  was  bad  and 
it  soon  ceased  to  be. 

The  business  places 
grew  few  and  far  be- 
tween above  Bleeck- 
er  street  until  at  about 
Eighth,  dwellings  and 
hotels  became  the  on- 
ly buildings  seen. 

I  must  not  forget, 
however,  the  great 
hotels  that  gave  life 
and  splendor  to  the 
street.  Near  Prince 
street  the  St.  Nicho- 
las, of  white  stone, 
and  gay  with  brilliant 

curtains  and  rich  shops  was  most  attractive, 
while  on  the  other  side  the  more  sombre  Met- 
ropolitan was  famous  for  containing  Niblo's 
Garden.  This  hotel  was  also  celebrated  for 
its  great  table.  The  silverware  was  reported 
to  have  cost  the  Leland  Bros.,  the  proprietors, 
$  1 4,000,  a  large  sum  for  those  days.  The 
house  accommodated  i  ,000  guests.  Further 
up,  the  New  York  survived  all  its  neighbors, 
and  this  hotel  was  for  many  years  the  favorite 
stopping  place  for  Southern  people. 

Far  up  Broadway,  in  the  then  lonely  and 
secluded  Astor  Place,  stood  the  Astor  Place 
Opera  House,  famous  for  the  bloody  not  in 
1849.  Above  was  the  quiet  and  beautiful 
Union  Square  surrounded  by  fine  dwellings 
and  churches,  and  before  Madison  Square  was 
reached  the  city  ended. 

All  the  retail  business  now  scattered  over 
many  localities,  was  then  centered  on  Broad- 
way, and  here  during  the  month  before  Christ- 
mas there  was  a  carnival  whirl   of  fine  equip- 


ages, gay  people,  fashion,  beauty  and  pleasure. 
Here  thronged  the  strangers  filling  the  hotels, 
the  actors  stood  before  the  theaters,  and  the 
celebrated  people  of  all  kinds  could  be  seen. 

But  there  was  another  side.  Not  ten  min- 
utes walk  from  Broadway  below  Canal  street, 
on  the  east,  were  the  dens  of  the  Five  Points, 
reeking  with  filth,  poverty,  crime  and  disease, 
blown  out  finally  by  the  fresh  air  of  business. 

The  streets  of  New  York  were  badly  cared 
for  then.     They  were  dusty  and  hot  in  sum- 


mer and  in  winter  snow  and  ashes  sometimes 
accumulated  in  frozen  heaps,  over  which  the 
carts  and  omnibuses  bounded  and  banged  to 
the  risk  of  life  and  limb. 

Droves  of  pigs,  hogs  and  goats  came  down 
from  the  squatter  villages  in  the  suburbs,  or 
where  Central  Park  now  is,  and  fed  upon  the 
garbage  thrown  out  or  overturned  from  barrels 
into  the  streets.  These  wandering  pigs  and 
goats  often  caused  disastrous  runaways  by 
running  between  the  legs  of  horses.  After  the 
horse  railroads  came  they  were  kept  away. 

Still,  even  with  these  blemishes,  the  old 
New  Yorker  thinks  fondly  of  the  once  beau- 
dful  city  where  he  could  walk  or  ride  with 
some  freedom  from  discomfort  and  danger, 
and  where  he  was  not  oppressed  by  multitude 
and  distance,  as  now. 

The  cuts  illustrating  the  foregoing  article  we 
believe  to  be  of  especial  interest  and  worthy 
of  somewhat  careful  study  by  any  one  at  all  fa- 


miliar with  New  York  to-day ;  to  those  whose 
memories  go  back  a  half  century  or  over  they 
will  prove  of  still  greater  value. 

The  contrast  between  the  city  of  1847  and 
that  of  1907  could  be  demonstrated  perhaps  in 
no  more  emphatic  manner,  as  the  localities  in 
the  1907  views  are  almost  identically  the 
same  as  in  the  1847  pictures.  In  the  first 
set,  on  Pages  4  and  5,  Castle  Garden  (now 
the  Aquarium)  may  be  distinguished  to  the 
left  in  each  picture.  The  old-time  print  is  re- 
produced from  Val- 
entine's Manual,  a 
publication  that  may 
be  recalled  by  some 
of  our  readers.  The 
modern  view  is  the 
very  latest  picture  of 
the  famous  sky-line 
and  was  procured  at 
considerable  expense, 
never  having  been 
published. 

On  Page  7  are 
shown  the  historic  St. 
Paul's  church,  at 
Broadway  and  Fulton 
street,  and,  just  across, 
on  the  opposite  side  of  Broadway,  the  tower- 
ing St.  Paul  Building.  It  was  from  the  spire  of 
the  church  that  the  view  of  New  York  in 
1847  shown  in  the  smaller  cut  on  this  page 
was  taken,  while  that  of  New  York  today 
was  taken  from  the  St.  Paul  Building.  The 
latter  structure  stands  on  the  site  of  Barnum's 
Museum,  (the  building  on  the  corner  at  the 
extreme  left  of  the  small  picture);  opposite  the 
the  Museum,  in  the  immediate  foreground,  ap- 
pears a  bit  of  the  church's  roof. 

The  contrast  between  the  city  of  three,  four 
or  five  stratas  and  the  other  city,  pushing  ever 
farther  and  farther  toward  the  sky  until  its 
people  almost  forget  that  terra  firma  exists,  is 
marked  indeed.  What  the  New  York  of 
sixty  years  hence  will  look  like  is  more  inter- 
esting than  profitable  to  speculate  upon. 

The  New  York  Mirror  of  1840  describes 
"an  evening  in  the  life  of  a  bachelor"  in  New 
York.     We  find  him  seated   "in  his  chamber. 


1847 — THEN 


THE  SILVER  STANDARD

looking  out  upon  the  Battery  through  the  open 
casement"  and  soliloquizing:  "What  shall  I 
do  tonight?  In  this  warm  weather  nobody 
goes  to  the  theater.  *  *  *  Skyrockets,  gol- 
den rain,  and  flights  of  fiery  pigeons  at  Castle 
Garden  may  entertain  country  people;  I  am 
weary  of  them. 

Finally  he  determines  to  "call  on  the  Miss 
Hums"  and  prepares  to  make  his  toilet.  "Dick 
held  an  inaudible  debate  for  five  minutes, 
whether  the  white  trousers  which  then  encased 
his  legs  —  or  gun-cases,  as  his  companions 
termed  them — were  not  too  soiled  for  the  oc- 
casion; reflecting  upon  the  unreasonable  charges 
made  by  laundresses,  and  it  occurring  to  him 
that  he  possessed  no  other  pair  of  that  colour- 
less colour,  he  determined  they  would  do. 
Carefully  adjusting  his  neck-cloth,  and  apply- 
ing a  small  quantity  of  'incomparable  Macas- 
sar* to  his  ample  locks,  and  a  few  drops  of 
Farina  to  his  handkerchief,  he  seized  his  ebony 
walking-stick,  mounted  with  gold-coloured  met- 
al, and  set  out  with  a  jaunty  air,"  etc. 

It  is  only  a  glimpse,  but  a  rather  interesting 
one,  that  this  extract  affords  us  of  the  young 
bachelor  of  the  40's. 

The  Scientific  American  in  1848  thus  de- 
scribed a  proposed  "railroad  in  Broadway": 
"It  is  proposed  to  lay  a  double  track  of  cast 
iron  six  feet  in  width,  rails  and  track  together, 
and  to  run  a  train  up  and  down  every  ten 
minutes.  The  cars  are  to  be  very  narrow,  and 
the  track  is  promised  not  to  impede  the  transit 
of  other  vehicles. 

"It  seems  to  us  that  there  is  a  necessity  of  some 
plan  of  general  conveyances  to  supercede  the 
continual  increase  of  omnibuses  which  have 
now  become  almost  a  city  nuisance. 

"The  elevated  railways  of  Randall  and  De- 
Witt  are  objectionable  but  only  on  the  ground 
of  unnecessary  expense  and  inconvenience  in 
comparison  with  terra  firma  locomotion.  'What 
is  the  use,'  it  has  been  said,  'of  building  a  road 
above  plain  level  ground — as  reasonable  would 
it  be  to  build  a  bridge,  over  a  level  and  dry 
plain? 

"It  is  certainly  no  great  credit  to  our  city  to 
exhibit  the  dirtiest  streets  and  the  heaviest  tax- 
ation of  any  other  city  in  the  Union.  Its  ex- 
penses for  last  year  were  $2,709,452,  which, 
allowing  our  city  to  contain  400,000  inhabi- 
tants, amounts  to  the  extraordinary  tax  of 
nearly  seven  dollars  per  head  for  every  man, 
woman  and  child  in  Gotham.  It  is  no  doubt 
easy  to  find  fault,  nevertheless  it  would  be 
saying  but  little  for  our  city's  genius  if  we  con- 
clude to  stick  in  the  mud. 

"  The  great  difficulty  will  be  in  establishing 
branches.  '    The  only  way  to  remove 

this  difficulty,  would  be  to  have  a  scale  of 
prices.  The  main  Broadway  Road  should 
charge  no  more  than  three  cents." 

An  "English  traveler"  (quoted  by  the  New 
York  Mirror)  found  Broadway  in  the  40's 
"nothing  very  remarkable  in  appearance,"  with 
"some  good  houses  and  some  very  shabby 
ones."  He  describes  stalls  of  pineapples, 
"iced  cream  and  iced  lemonade"  and  peaches 
| in  carts  "hawked  about  at  three  for  a  penny." 
!  A  stranger,  he  says,  would  be  puzzled  by 
ithe  announcement  in  a  shop-window  of  "New 
Jersey  shin-plasters  taken  here  at  par"; 
tat  another  "Broken  bank-notes  wanted,"  etc. 


He  dwells  at  considerable  length  upon  the 
tobacco  habit,  especially  the  custom  of  chew- 
ing, which  in  that  period  of  our  history  never 
escaped  comment  from  visitors  from  over  the 
seas.  He  declares  that  with  a  stranger  "amid 
every  impression,  and  above  ihem  all,  would 
be  the  sensation  of  breathing  an  almosphere  in 
which  tobacco-smoke  was  a  principal  ingre- 
dient." 

He  also  speaks  of  ladies  being  "annoyed 
whilst  walking  by  receiving  upon  their  dresses 
an  occasional  proof  of  the  habit  of  chewing; 
an  annoyance  which  is  not  easily  guarded 
against,  as  many  of  the  gentlemen  pass  their 
evenings  sitting  in  clusters  round  the  entrances 
to  the  various  hotels"  with  results  that  may  be 
imagined. 

The  Mirror  admits  "that  there  is  some  truth 
in  the  remarks  relative  to  the  habit  of  cluster- 


WHERE  THE  PICTURES  WERE  TAKEN. 

The  view  of  old  New  York  on  the  opposite  page 
was  taken  from  the  spire  of  St.  Paul's  Church,  looking 
south;  the  photograph  of  the  modern  city  was  taken 
from  the  St.  Paul  Building,  on  the  opposite  side  of 
Broadway.  Both  these  structures  appear  in  the  above 
picture,  showing  their  proximity . 


ing  upon  the  stoups  of  our  hotels"  and  staring 
at  the  pretty  girls,  adding,  "The  custom  is  one 
which  we  should  like  to  see  reformed." 

New  York  may  lay  claim,  among  things 
of  greater  and  some  of  less  importance,  to  the 
pioneer  baseball  club,  the  Knickerbockers, 
which,  formed  in  September,  1845,  played 
the  first  match  game  on  June  19,  1846,  at 
Hoboken,  New  Jersey. 

This  first  game,  according  to  a  writer  in 
the  Scrap  Book,  consisted  of  four  innings,  the 
rule  being  that  the  club  that  first  made  twenty- 
one  runs  should  be  awarded  the  game.  The 
code  adopted  by  the  Knickerbockers  formed 
the  basis  for  the  rules  of  today.  The  Knick- 
erbocker club  was  followed  by  the  Gothams 
in  1 850  and  the  popularity  of  the  "New  York" 
game  soon  spread  to  other  states  and  new 
clubs  sprang  up. 


Then  and  Now-"1847  Rogers  Bros." 

In  the  foreground  of  the  larger  picture  on 
the  opposite  page,  in  the  left  hand  corner,  may 
be  seen  a  part  of  the  building  containing  the 
down  town  warerooms  of  the  International 
Silver  Co.,  in  Maiden  Lane,  where  all  the  lines 
of  the  various  factoiies  are  to  be  found.  Sur- 
rounded by  buildings  typefying  the  growth  and 
progress  of  the  great  city,  this  store,  together 
with  the  old  uptown  branch  of  the  Meriden 
Britannia  Co.,  on  Fifth  avenue,  corner  of  26th 
street  (Madison  Square),  also  represents  growth 
— the  growth  of  a  business.  Indeed,  it  would 
not  be  far  out  of  the  way  to  say  the  growth 
of  a  great  industry,  so  closely  is  the  business 
identified  with  the  silver  plate  industry  from  the 
very  begnning  of  the  latter. 

The  electro-silver  plating  process  was  dis- 
covered in  1847  by  Rogers  Bros.,  then  of 
Hartford,  Conn.,  and  ever  since  that  time 
"1847  Rogers  Bros."  has  been  the  mark  that 
has  distinguished  the  original  brand  of  silver 
plated  flatware.  Not  only  is  the  "  1 847  Rogers 
Bros."  brand  the  original  but — as  the  trade 
knows — it  is  by  far  the  most  largely  sold  to- 
day. During  the  last  ten  years  the  increase  in 
the  output  has  been  160  per  cent.  During 
1 906  it  is  estimated  that  the  increase  in  sales 
of  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  amounted  to  almost, 
if  not  quite,  the  total  sales  of  any  brand  of  sil- 
ver plated  flatware  not  made  by  the  Interna- 
tional Silver  Co. 

There  are  three  elements  that  have  entered 
into  the  making  of  this  success.  In  the  reverse 
order  of  their  importance  they  are:  (I)  Ad- 
vertising; (2)  Reputation  of  the  goods;  (3) 
Satisfaction  of  purchasers. 

As  to  advertising.  We  advertise  the  year 
round — hot  weather  and  cold.  In  the  brisk 
season  we  try  to  turn  trade  our  way — your 
way  if  you  handle  our  goods.  In  the  com- 
paratively dull  season  we  try  to  awaken  or  re- 
vive interest  in  silverware  in  general  and  ours 
in  particular.  All  together  we  advertise  in 
over  500  publications,  including  the  New  York 
and  Brooklyn  daily  papers.  A  woman  can 
hardly  pick  up  a  magazine  that  she  does  not 
see  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  advertising.  No 
other  silver  is  advertised  so  persistently  and 
extensively.  We  are  always  ready  to  help 
the  dealer  advertise,  too,  and  we  supply,  free, 
electrotypes  for  newspaper  announcements, 
signs,  show  cards,  circulars,  etc.  We  are  also 
glad  to  do  anything  we  can  in  the  way  of 
suggestion  and  advice. 

That  the  reputation  of  "  1847  Rogers  Bros." 
is  a  most  potent  factor  in  its  success  goes  with- 
out saying.  Advertising  is  merely  keeping 
this  reputation  before  the  public.  It  is  a  rep- 
utation of  sixty  years'  standing.  Notwith- 
standing this,  we  are  as  jealous  of  it  as  if  it 
were  a  thing  of  but  yesterday.  We  realize 
that  we  must  continue  to  make  good. 

Advertising  and  reputation  would  not  long 
be  of  value  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  the 
goods  we  advertise  prove  to  be  what  we  claim 
for  them.  We  have  many  letters  in  our  pos- 
session today  from  people  who  know  that 
"1847  Rogers  Bros."  goods  will  wear,  because 
they  have  tested  them  for  a  generation  or  more. 

Summed  up,  the  sales  of  "1847  Rogers 
Bros."  silverware  surpass  the  sales  of  any 
other  brand  on  the  market  because  of  the  ab- 
solute truth  in  the  phrase  used,  to  describe  it — 
"Silver  Plate  that  Wears,"

COLT'S  PISTOLS 

ARE  THEY  TO  BE 
HADE  IN  MEXICO? 

Captain  Walker  left 
Springfield,  Mass.,  yes- 
terday for  Washington, 
having  while  in  New 
York,  among  other 
things,  made  a  contract 
for  1,000  Revolving 
Pistols  for  the  new 
Mounted  Rifle  Regi- 
ment, which  is  to  serve 
in  Mexico.  This  regi- 
ment is  to  be  armed 
with  a  pair  of  these 
weapons,  besides  rifles. 
It  was  found  impossible 
to  obtain  any  number  of 
these  pistols  in  Spring- 
field, such  has  of  late 
been  the  demand  for 
them  for  soldiers  and 
others  going  to  Mexico. 

It  is  a  fact  worth 
noting  that  the  German 
who  has  been  the  prin  - 
cipal  mechanic  or 
manufacturer  of  these 
revolvers  has  recently 
left  us  and  suddenly  for 
Mexico  with  his  chests 
of  tools  and  machinery. 
It  is  pretty  well  ascer-] 
tained  that  he  has  had 
most  liberal  and  rich  re- 
wards from  the  Gov- 
ernment of  Mexico, 
which  have  tempted 
him  to  leave  New 
York,  in  order  to  begin 
the  manufacture  of  that 
deadly  weapon  in  a 
foreign  country. 


A  HOGGISH 
CONVEYANCE  — 

A  farmer  of  St.  Al- 
bans, Vermont,  re- 
cently made  a  grand 
entree  into  that  place 
mounted  on  a  car 
drawn  by  four  large 
hogs.  He  entered  the 
town  at  a  full  trot, 
amidst  the  acclamations 
of  hundreds. 

After  making  the 
tour  of  the  market  place 
three  or  four  times,  he 
went  into  the  back 
yard,  and  had  his 
swinish  cattle  unhar- 
nessed, and  taken  into 
a  stable  together,  when 
they  were  regaled  with 
a  trough  full  of  beans 
and  wash. 

JOHN  JACOB 
ASTOR— An  ex- 
change paper,  speaking 
of  John  Jacob  Astor, 
says  he  designs  es- 
tablishing an  institution 
for  the  advancement  of 
deserving  and  honest 
young  men  by  supply- 
ing them  with  a  capital 
varying  from  one  to  five 
thousand  dollars  , 
wherewith  to  com- 
mence life  and  forward 
them  in  their  respective 
callings. 


OUR    RAILROADS 

NOW  5.000  MILES  IN 
COUNTRY. 

In  seventeen  years 
5,000  miles  of  railroad 
have  been  constructed 
in  the  United  States, 
at    an    expense    of 

$120,000,000.     This 

is  unprecedented  in  the 
history  of  civil  construc- 
tions. It  demonstrates 
beyond  any  other  fact 
the  growth,  the  un- 
ceasing industry,  and 
cumulative  power  of 
capital  in  this  new  and 
vigorous  nation. 

The  present  annual 
investment  in  railroad 
construction  is  about 
$15,000,000.  The 
actual  saving  in  ex- 
penses of  transportation 
probably  greatly  ex- 
ceedes  this.  In  this 
way  railroads  on  good 
routes  (and  in  our  new 
country  nearly  all  are 
good),  act  as  Savings 
Banks. 

The  lines  of  road 
number  147.  The 
first  railroad  ever  built 
in  the  United  States 
was  at  Quincy,  Mass., 
4  miles  long,  finished  in 
1827;  the  second  was 
the  Mauch  Chunk 
Road,  Pennsylvania,  5 
miles  long,  having  a 
track  but  3  feet  6  inches 
wide.  The  highest 
grade  of  a  travelled  road 
(80  feet  in  a  mile)  is 
on  the  Springfield  and 
Albany  where  it  crosses 
the  Green  Mountain 
chain.  That  from 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  to  the 
quarries,  has  a  grade  of 
264  feet  to  the  mile. 

FOOLISH-Pro- 

fessor  Hamilton's  re- 
marks at  the  Buffalo 
College  on  asphyxia, 
and  particularly  that 
form  caused  by  wearing 
tight  cravats,  may  be  of 
interest  to  the  general 
reader. 

Some  public  speak- 
ers. Members  of 
Congress,  and  clergy- 
men hang  themselves 
by  wearing  cravats  and 
stocks,  high  and  tight, 


thereby  imped- 
ing the  return 
of  the  blood 
from  the  head; 
this  can  be  ex- 
plained  on 
physiological 
principles. 

Students  are 
not  altogether 
free  from  the 
effects  of  ligita- 
tion  of  the 
neck.  It  is  sur- 
prising how  lit- 
tle pressu'  is 
necessary  to 
prevent  the  free 
flow  of  blood 
from  the  head. 

In  clergy- 
men, who  are 
particu  larly 
prone  to  bun- 
dle their  necks 
with  large  cra- 
vats, bronchitis  ^S| 
is  induced,  and  -Js 
the  vocal  cords  =i§f 
become  relax-  ^jj 
ed  as  a  conse-  ^3 
quence.  Men 
who  speak  ex- 
temporaneous- -.-ajjHB 
ly  can  speak 
longer  and  with 
greater  ease 
than  those  who 
read,  as  their 
voice  is  not  con- 
fined so  much 
to  one  key,  and  can  be 
modulated  with  greater 
freedom . 

CLAY  PITCHER 

—  Henry  Clay  has  just 
had  another  silver 
pitcher  presented  to  him . 
He  will,  by  and  by, 
have  as  many  vessels  of 
this  sort  as  there  were 
in  the  ark  of  Moses. 
Wouldn't  it  be  well 
for  the  Whigs  to  pause 
before  proceeding  fur- 
ther in  so  wasteful  a 
consumption  of  one  of 
the  precious  metals? 
asks  a  writer  in  the  Bos- 
ton Post. 

There  are  thirteen 
manufacturing  corpora- 
tions in  New  York  city 
embracing  a  capital 
stock  of  $11,490,000 
and  numbering  45 
mills.  These  mills  give 
employment  to  7,915 
females  and  3 ,  340  male 
operatives. 


LOLA  MONTEZ. 


LOLA  MONTEZ 

OPERA  DANCER  HAS 
WON  ROYAL  FAVOR 

The  King  of  Bavaria 
has  conferred  a  patent 
of  nobility  and  the  tide 
of  Countess  of  Mans- 
field, together  with  a 
pension  of  25,000 
francs  (about  $10,- 
000)  on  the  Irish  opera 
dancer,  Betsey  Watson 
otherwise  called  by  the 
soft  name  of  Lola 
Montez.  She  is  a  stout, 
strapping  Amazon,  and 
lately  knocked  down  an 
officer  who  accidentally 
ran  against  her  in  the 
street.  The  King  has 
just  pulled  down  five 
large  buildings  to  erect 
a  palace  for  her  in  his 
capital,  Munich,  and  in 
consequenee  several  of 
of  the  most  respectable 
families  have  quit  the 
city,  'tis  said,  in  disgust. 


STRIK- 
ING  SIGNS 

— Wait&Ket- 
chum   is   the 
very  appropri- 
ate name  of  a 
firm    in    New 
York,     which    makes 
patent  medicines  on   a 
large  scale. 

Call  &  Settle  have  a 
tailoring  establishment 
in  Meadville,  Tenn. 
We  presume  they  give 
short  credits. 

Neal  &  Pray  is  a

land, Me.  It  is  super- 
fluous to  add  that  they 
belong  to  orthodox 
churches. 

One  of  the  drop  cur- 
tains of  the  Broadway

It  is  of  silk  damask. 

A  man  in  Spring- 
field, Ohio,  thus  an- 
nounces himself  a  can- 
didate for  constable: 
"Phillip  E.  Bametthas 
a  wife  and  thirteen 
children,  is  poor,  afraid 
to  steal,  too  lazy  to 
work  and  would  like  to 
be  elected  constable." 


HEBREW  RELIC 

WAS  IN  POSSESSION 
OF  INDIANS. 

By  the  politeness  of 
Col.  Lea,  Commission- 
er of  Indian  affairs,  we 
have  seen  a  curiosity  of 
great  rarity  and  interest, 
left  for  a  few  days  at 
the  bureau.  It  was 
brought  from  the  Pot- 
tawatomie Reservation, 
on  the  Kansas  River, 
by  Dr.  Lykins,  who 
has  been  residing  on  the 
frontier. 

It  consists  of  four  small 
rolls  or  strips  of  parch- 
ment, closely  packed  in 
the  compartments  of  a 
little  box  or  locket  of 
about  an  inch  cubical 
content.  On  these 
parchments  are  written 
in  a  style  of  unsurpassed 
excellence,  and  far 
more  beautiful  than 
print,  portions  of  the 
Pentateuch. 

The  question  occurs 
here,  does  not  this  cir- 
cumstance give  some 
color  to  the  idea,  long 
and  extensively  enter- 
tained, that  the  In- 
dians of  our  continent 
are  more  or  less  Jewish 
in  their  origin? 

HURLGATE— It 

is  not  disputed  that  the 
name  of  the  crooked, 
rocky  narrows  above 
Harlem,  was  originally 
Hellgate,  and  some 
writers  are  frequently 
quarreling  with  those 
who  call  it  otherwise. 
But  a  better  taste  pre- 
vailing with  the  major- 
ity, whose  good  sense 
teaches  them  that  there 
is  no  binding  necessity 
for  continuing  adher- 
ance  to  original  names 
of  places,  the  place  is 
generally  called  Hurl- 
gate.  Those  who  are 
particularly  partial  to 
the  former  name  are 
left  at  liberty  to  retain  it 
nevertheless. 

All  postages  at  the 
different  offices  throu  gh  - 
out  the  country  are  to  be 
paid  in  gold  and  silver 
coin.  The  law  went 
into  effect  on  Jan.  1 . 


>lT^MONG  the  improvements  in  our  social  condi- 
i«lll»  tion  in  the  last  two  years  we  may  mention  the 
great  increase  of  railroads;  the  rapid  extension  of 
telegraphs;  the  essay  to  share  in  the  navigation  by 
ocean  steamers — and  lastly,  the  use  of  ether  and 
similar  gases.

ETHER'S  EVILS 

INTOXICATION  FOR 
TEETH  DRAWING. 

Intoxication  for  teeth 
drawing  is  patented,  it 
seems,  says  the  New- 
ark Daily  Advertiser, 
by  a  Boston  money 
maker  who  follows  the 
business  cf  dentistry; 
and,  adds  the  Adver- 
tiser, I  wish  to  say  to 
the  reader  in  this  vicin- 
ity that  the  iniquity  is 
distinctly  condemned 
by  respectable  physi- 
cians and  surgeons  as 
fraught  with  mischief. 
Besides  the  possible 
evils  to  the  patient  of 
inhaling  the  fluid  (sul- 
phuric ether),  which 
are  by  no  means  incon- 
siderable, the  intoxicat- 
ing draught  violates  a 
clear  law  of  Nature, 
and  in  some  surgical 
operations  may  prevent 
recovery.  The  pain 
we  suffer  when  injury 
is  inflicted  on  the  nerv- 
ous system  stimulates 
the  recuperative  pro- 
cess and  the  energies  of 
the  body  rally  to  help 
recovery. 


TIGHT  LACING 

— A  Philadelphia  pa- 
per states  that  some  of 
the  ladies  of  Boston 
have  got  to  lacing  their 
corsets  so  tight  that  they 
fairly  cut  themselves  in 
two,  so  one  half  of 
them  can  go  to  church 
while  the  other  half 
goes  to  a  dance.  We 
are  happy  to  state  that 
the  report  has  no  other 
foundation  than  the  de- 
sire of  certain  young 
ladies  to  do  so. 


ONE  OR  TOTH- 

ER— "A  dozen  child- 
ren may  seem  a  large 
family  with  our  folks 
who  are  moderate, '  re- 
marked Mrs.  Parting- 
ton, "but  my  poor  dear 
husband  used  to  tell  a 
story  of  a  woman  in 
some  part  of  the  world 
where  he  stopped  one 
night,  who  had  nine- 
teen children  in  five 
years;  or  five  children 
in  nineteen  years,  1

OUR  APRIL  NUMBER. 

The  present  number  sees  The  Standard  al- 
most back  in  its  old  form.  So  much  space  in 
the  February  issue  was  devoted  to  the  "Then 
and  Now  "  idea,  that  there  was  but  one  page 
left  in  which  to  discuss  the  matter  of  silver 
plate.  We  did  not  grudge  the  room  we  gave 
to  New  York,  but  we  shall 
confine  future  articles  more 
nearly  to  our  original  limits. 

Of  course,    we  all   know 
that  Mr.   Bryan  was  not  the 
original  advocate  of  govern- 
ment ownership  of  railroads. 
That,  however,  will  not  les- 
sen our  interest  in  the  argu- 
ments used  in  1847  along  the 
same  line.      The  screed    on 
our    first    page  might  find   a 
place   in  the    columns    of    a 
modern    publication  without 
undergoing    radical    change. 
The   arguments  of    1847   are 
met  with  in    1907    and   per- 
haps   governmental   interfer- 
ence  sixty  years    ago  would 
have  effected    no    more  up- 
heaval of  industrial  and  com- 
mercial   conditions  —  rela- 
tively—  than  it  would   to-day,  although    the 
interests  directly  involved,  of  course,   would  be 
vastly  greater   in  1907  than  in  1847.      In    the 
latter  year   the    147    railroads  in  this  country 
owned  5,300    odd   miles   of    track.     At    the 
close  of  1905  there  were  217,341  miles  in  the 
United  States. 

The  little  item  on  Page  1  calling  attention  to 
the  time  that  will  be  saved  when  the  "magnetic 
telegraph  is  completed  to  Cincinnati"  may  cause 
a  smile,  but  the  telegraph  was  new  and  very 
wonderful  in  1847.  It  was  on  March  3,  1843, 
that  Congress  passed  a  bill  appropriating  $30,- 
000  to  aid  in  establishing  the  telegraph,  and  a 
little  over  a  year  later — May  23,  1844 — the 
historic  message,  "What  hath  God  wrought!  ", 
flashed  from  Washington  to  Baltimore,  announc- 
ing to  the  world  that  man  at  last  had  outwitted 
time  and  space. 

In  the  February  number  we  printed  a  cut  of 
Lola  Montez,  the  dancer  who,  in  1847,  found 
herself  the  favorite  of  the  king  of  Bavaria.  To 
some  of  our  readers  Lola's  presence  may  have 
seemed  an  intrusion  in  a  magazine  devoted  ex- 
clusively to  things  American.  A  few  words  of 
explanation,  crowded  out  in  our  last  number, 
will  show  the  dancer's  right  to  a  place  in  The 
Standard. 

This  really  remarkable  woman  was  born  in 
Limerick,   Ireland,  in   1818.     Her  name  was 


Marie  Dolores  Eliza  Rosanna  Gilbert.  She 
married  Captain  Thomas  James  in  1837.  He 
divorced  her  in  1842,  whereupon  she  began 
taking  dancing  lessons  of  a  Spanish  teacher  and 
appeared  in  London  in  1843  as  "Lola  Montez, 
Spanish  dancer."  After  various  adventures  she 
appeared  in  Munich,  where,  as  appeared  in  our 
last  number,  she  became  the  mistress  of  the  old 
King,  Ludwig.  After  having  been  natural- 
ized, she  received  the  titles  of  Baronne  de  Ro- 
senthal and  Comtesse  de  Landsfeld.  The  Coun- 
tess controlled  the  king  absolutely  and  was  vir- 
tually the  ruler  of  Bavaria,  "a  position,"  we 
are  told,  "in  which  she  displayed  ability  and 
wisdom."  After  about  a  year  the  inevitable 
occurred  and,  owing  to  the  hostility  between  the 
liberal  and  conservative  students  of  the  univer- 
sity, there  was  a  serious  riot  which  came  near 
to  bringing  the  dancer  -  countess'  career  to  an 
abrupt  end.   The  closing  of  the  university  pre-

(  cipitated  an  insurrection  and,  on  March  2 1 , 
1 848,  Ludwig  was  forced  to  abdicate  and  Lola 
was  banished. 

After  more  adventures,  Lola  married  George 
Trafford  Heald  in  London,  July,  1849.  She 
was  summoned  for  bigamy,  but  fled  to  Spain. 
Heald  is  said  to  have  died  in  1853. 

In  1851  Lola  arrived  in  New  York,  where, 
as  might  have  been  expected,  she  attracted  great 
attention  and  drew  crowded  houses.  In  1853 
she  married  P.  P.  Hull,  of  San  Francisco.  Per- 
haps, considering  her  past  adventures,  the  "last 
scene  of  all"  in  her  life  drama  was  the  strangest. 
In  1859  she  devoted  herself  to  visiting  outcast 
women  and  labored  among  them  until  stricken 
with  paralysis.  She  died  at  Astoria,  N.  Y., 
January  17,  1861. 


On  the  first  page  we  show  "the  latest  fash- 
ions, just  from  Paris,"  as  the  magazines  of  the 
day  delighted  to  announce.  Fashions  have 
changed  since  1847,  and  in  many  ways  for 
the  better  (if  we  may  hazard  an  opinion). 

Of  course  the  garments  of  1 847  appear 
strange  to  us,  just  as  ours  will  seem  peculiar 
to  the  people  of  1967. 

A  missing  Yale  freshman  was  described  as 
wearing  a  "brown  frock  coat,  dark  green 
pantaloons,  double  breasted  black  vest  and 
cloth  cap."  Such  a  description  today  surely 
ought  to  land  the  man. 


IN  1847,  83  YEARS  AFTER  ITS 

FOUNDING,  CITY  OBSERVED 

ANNIVERSARY. 

The  population  of  St.  Louis  in  1847  was 
just  a  trifle  over  40,000.  It  had  doubled 
in  the  six  years  since  1 84 1 ,  and  it  was  to 
double  again  in  the  four  years  leading  to  1851, 
and  again  in  the  ten  years  to  1861,  and  still 
again  during  the  following  ten  years,  and  it  is 
now  nearly  twenty  times  as  great  as  in  1847. 
These  introductory  facts  give  some  idea  of  the 
rapidity  of  growth  that  has  brought  the  metrop- 
olis of  the  Mississippi  Valley  to  its  present 
position  of  importance. 

Yet,  in  the  year  1847,  St. 
Louis  was  perilously  nearing 
the  greatest  calamity  in  its 
history,  the  cholera  epidemic 
which  swept  away  8,475 
lives — or  nearly  one-fifth  of 
its  entire  population  in  1849. 
And,  too,  the  great  fire  of 
1 849,  which  destroyed  nearly 
its  entire  river  front,  at  that 
time  the  city's  most  important 
business  district,  was  to  serve 
as  another  blow  to  the 
growth  of  St.  Louis,  notwith- 
standing which,  the  record  as 
already  quoted  was  estab- 
lished. 

It  was  a  progressive  little 

city,  the  St.  Louis  of    1847, 

eager  to  keep  abreast  of  the 

American    progress  of  those 

days.       In  1841    a  company 

had     been    incorporated    for 

the  purpose  of  supplying  the  city  with  gas  light, 

and  the  first  lighting  with  gas   was  done   on 

the  night  of  November  4,   1847. 

Then,  too,  St.  Louis  in  1847  was  on  the 
verge  of  being  opened  up  to  the  rest  of  the 
American  continent  by  a  great  railroad.  The 
movement  to  this  end  had  begun  in  1836-37, 
but  nothing  had  come  of  it  until  renewed 
activity  in  1847  brought  about  the  introduction 
in  the  United  States  Senate  in  1849,  by 
Senator  Thomas  H.  Benton  of  Missouri,  of  a 
bill  to  provide  for  the  location  and  construction 
of  a  central  national  road  from  the  Pacific 
ocean  to  the  Mississippi  river.  On  March  10, 
1849,  the  charter  for  this  Pacific  Railroad 
was  granted,  the  capital  stock  being  placed  at 
$10,000,000,  and  the  incorporators  being 
Thomas  Allen,  John  O'Fallon,  Lewis  V. 
Bogy,  James  H.  Lucas,  Edward  Walsh, 
George  Collier,  Thomas  B.  Hudson,  Daniel 
D.  Page,  Henry  M.  Shreve,  James  E.  Yeat- 
man,  John  B.  Sarpy,  Wayman  Crow,  Joshua 
B.  Brandt,  Robert  Campbell,  Pierre  Chou- 
teau, Jr.,  Henry  Shaw,  Bernard  Pratte,  Ernest 
Angelrodt,  Adolphu  Meier,  Louis  A.  Benoist 
and  Adam  L.  Miles  —  the  sons  or  grandsons 
of  many  of  these  being  still  actively  associated 
with  the  continued  progress  of  St.  Louis.  The 
railroad  thus  begun  was  the  first  railroad 
built  in  the  state  of  Missouri,  and  from  it 
sprang  the  entire  grand  system  of  railroads 
which  today  penetrates  to  every  section  of  one  of

the  richest  territories  in  the  American  Union. 

In  the  ordinary  channels  of  business,  as 
well,  there  was  a  fine  activity  in  the  year  1847. 
Commercial  operations  had  then  reached  such 
magnitude  that  the  project  of  establishing  a 
Merchants'  Exchange  was  being  generally  dis- 
cussed, and  this  led,  in  September,  1849,  to  a 
special  meeting,  at  which  George  K.  McGun- 
hegle  stated  the  objects  of  the  gathering  and 
the  project  of  establishing  the  proposed  Mer- 
chants' Exchange  was  referred  to  a  committee 
of  which  James  E.  Yeatman  was  chairman. 
Under  the  movement  thus  begun,  the  Mer- 
chants' Exchange  of  St.  Louis  was  established 
in  1849,  with  headquarters  at  Main  and  Olive 
streets,  and  in  the  following  year  the  Millers' 
Association,  also  organized  in  1849,  joined 
the  new  body  and  the  business  was  conducted 
thereafter  under  the  charter  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce. 

In  this  year  of  1847,  also,  the  Boatmen's 
Savings  Institution,  now  one  of  the  city's  lead- 
ing financial  institutions  under  the  title  of  the 
Boatmen's  Bank,  was  incorporated.  The 
Mercantile  Library  Association,  incorporated 
in  1846,  reported  in  1847  that  its  first  year's 
cash  receipts  amounted  to  $2,689,  its  mem- 
bership numbering  283,  with  a  total  of  1,680 
volumes  in  the  library.  At  this  time  also,  the 
river  traffic  to  and  from  St.  Louis,  the  Missis- 
sippi river  being  then  the  city's  great  trade 
artery,  had  assumed  such  proportions  that  it 
was  estimated  that  more  than  2,500  steamboats 
were  connected  with  this  port  in    1847,  with 


the  president  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce. 
The  most  notable  public  ceremonial  of  1847 
was  the  public  anniversary  celebration,  on 
February  15,  of  the  founding  of  St.  Louis. 
The  features  of  the  day  were  an  imposing 
public  pageant  and  a  banquet.  Mr.  Pierre 
Chouteau  was  president  of  the  day.  With  him 
in  the  carriage  were  Pierre  Chouteau,  Jr.,  P. 
Liguest  Chouteau  and  Gabriel  S.  Chouteau, 
all  descendants  of  the  man  who,  with  Pierre 
Laclede  Liguest,  founded  St.  Louis  on  Febru- 
ary 15,  1764.  Hon.  Wilson  Primm  was 
orator  of  the  day,  and,  among  other  speakers 
were  United  States  Senator  Lewis  V.  Bogy, 
Robert  Campbell,  Hon.  Wm.  C.  Carr, 
Thomas  Allen,  Dr.  Linton,  George  R.  Taylor 
and  Messrs.  Crockett,  Kennett,  Darby  and 
Treat.  A  ball  at  the  Planters'  House  closed 
the  memorable  day. 

The  city  was  then  growing  rapidly,  but,  to 
appreciate  the  resistless  character  of  this 
growth,  it  is  necessary  to  note  how  little 
checked  it  was  by  the  great  fire  of  1849. 

About  ten  o'clock  on  the  night  of  May 
19,  1849,  this  fire  began  on  board  the  steamer 
White  Cloud,  lying  at  the  wharf  between  Vine 
and  Cherry  streets,  and  the  White  Cloud, 
burning  loose  from  her  moorings,  drifted  down 
stream  and  set  fire  to  other  craft  until  twenty- 
four  in  all  were  in  flames.  A  stiff  breeze  from  ■ 
the  north  east  carried  the  fiery  embers  to  the 
buildings  on  the  river  front  until,  almost  with- 
out exception,  every  building  from  Locust  to 
Market  streets,  and  between  Second  street  and 


Marshal  —  one  captain,  four  lieutenants  and 
forty-five  privates. 

A  St.  Louis  newspaper  of  January  6,  1847, 
gives  a  detailed  description  of  an  engine  then 
being  built  by  Kingsland  &  Lightner  of  St. 
Louis,  for  the  new  St.  Louis  waterworks,  the 
city  until  1846  having  had  no  water  pipes 
reaching  further  west  than  Fourth  street.  This 
engine  was  regarded  as  a  marvel,  and,  after  its 
installation,  visitors  to  the  city  were  not  thought 
to  have  seen  all  the  sights  of  St.  Louis  unless 
they  had  included  the  $25,000  engine  in  their 
round.  A  new  reservoir  was  also  begun, 
which  was  finished  in  1 850,  as  also  a  new 
engine  house.  The  Jefferson  School  was  be- 
gun in  1847  and  opened  in  1848. 

That  St.  Louis  was  beginning  to  be  quite  an 
important  city  in  1847  is  even  indicated  by  the 
theatrical  records  of  those  days.  During  1847 
the  roster  of  stage  stars  who  played  engage- 
ments in  St.  Louis  included  such  famous  names 
as  those  of  N.  M.  Ludlow,  Anna  Cora 
Mowatt,  E.  L.  Davenport,  Julia  Dean,  J.  H. 
Hackett,  the  great  Falstaff,  whose  son,  James 
K.  Hackett,  played  an  engagement  in  St.  Louis 
no  later  than  in  February  of  the  present  year; 
while,  in  1 846,  Junius  Brutus  Booth  had  made 
his  first  appearance  in  St.  Louis,  others  appear- 
ing that  same  season  being  J.  E.  Murdoch,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Charles  Kean,  J.  M.  Field,  Sol. 
Smith  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  W.  Wallack. 

These  are  some  of  the  memorable  historical 
facts  of  the  St.  Louis  of  1 847.  They  are 
made    especially    interesting    when    compared 


ufasiiSss 


an  aggregate  tonnage  of  nearly  400,000,  and 
that  the  number  of  keel  and  flatboats  engaged 
in  St.  Louis  business  was  over  400. 

Another  important  event  of  the  year  1847 
was  that  recorded  for  December  20th,  when 
the  telegraph  lines  connecting  St.  Louis  with 
the  East  reached  East  St.  Louis,  thus  placing 
this  city  in  wire  communication,  for  the  first 
time,   with    the   leading  cities  of   the  country. 

On  December  28,  1847,  an  important  meet- 
ing of  citizens  took  place,  to  consider  the 
advisability  of  the  city  subscribing  $500,000 
toward  the  construction  of  the  Ohio  and 
Mississippi  Railroad,  the  route  of  which  from 
Cincinnati  through  Vincennes  had  been  estab- 
lished. 

The  legislature  was  petitioned  to  authorize 
the  subscription,  which  was  duly  made.  James 
B.  Barry  was  the  mayor  of  St.  Louis  at 
this  time,  and    George    K.  McGunnegle  was 


the  river,  was  destroyed  or  badly  damaged. 
The  progress  of  the  conflagration  was  finally 
stopped  only  by  blowing  up  buildings  with 
gunpowder,  thus  creating  a  great  gap  across 
which  the  fire  could  not  leap. 

The  entire  value  of  property  destroyed 
reached  a  total  of  over  $3,000,000.  Yet  this 
staggering  calamity  did  not  long  daunt  the 
St.  Louis  spirit  and  the  ultimate  result  of  the 
great  fire  was  in  reality  a  gain  to  the  city. 

In  1847  the  "city  guard,"  or  "independent 
police  "  of  St.  Louis  consisted  of  three  lieuten- 
ants and  thirty  privates,  and  the  Mayor  pointed 
out  in  his  annual  message  of  the  following  year 
that  the  city  was  then  "so  much  extended" 
that  it  was  impossible,  "without  great  indus- 
try," for  thirty  men  to  properly  guard  the 
whole  city.  In  accordance  with  the  agitation 
thus  begun  the  police  force  of  St.  Louis  was 
increased   in    1 848   to    one   chief  —  the  City 


with  the  facts  of  the  St.  Louis  of  today,  a  city 
of  over  700,000  population  and  counting  con- 
fidently on  reaching  the  1 ,000,000  mark  during 
the  next  decade ;  that  has  a  river  frontage  of 
over  nineteen  miles  and  that  extends  westward 
six  miles  from  the  river  front ;  the  assessed 
valuation  of  the  property  of  which  exceeds 
$400,000,000;  a  city  already  well  in  the  front 
rank  of  "  sky-scraper "  office  building  cities, 
and  that  has  an  additional  $25,000,000  of 
these  "  sky-scrapers "  now  under  process  of 
construction  ;  that  gained  over  $73,000,000  in 
the  value  of  its  manufactured  output  in  the  five 
years  between  1900  and  1905,  and  that  has 
just  voted  to  spend  $11,000,000  on  public 
improvements.  The  sixty  years  that  have 
passed  since  1847  have  been  memorable  for 
St.  Louis  progress — and  they  are  full  of  bright 
promise  for  continued  development  and  pros- 
perity.

ABOUT  CLERKS 

DRY  GOODS  REPORT- 
ER HAS  PLAN. 

We  copy  from  the 
"Dry  Goods  Report-! 
er,"  a  weekly  sheet,  [ 
devoted  almost  exclus- 
ively to  that  branch  of 
trade,  the  following 
communication  or  an 
intelligent  correspond- 
ent, which  contains 
suggestions  deserving 
the  attention  of  mer- 
chants and  clerks  gen- 
erally. 

No  single  subject 
connected  with  the  dry 
goods  trade  demands  a 
more  serious  considera- 
tion than  the  present 
condition  of  the  clerks 
engaged  in  its  various 
branches.  Upon  the 
honesty,  capacity,  and 
exertion  of  the  clerk, 
the  success  of  the  mer- 
chant greatly  depends. 

His  good  or  bad  con- 
duct may  either  make 
or  mar  our  present  plans 
or  future  prospects. 
These  we  believe,  are 
truisms  which  are  gen- 
erally admitted. 

It  behooves  us,  then, 
as  sound  and  discreet 
merchants,  io  do  al!  in 
our  power  to  promote 
his  interest;  and,  as  one 
step  toward  the  attain- 
ment of  so  great  a  de- 
sideratum, we  would 
suggest  that  an  associa- 
tion of  dry  goods  clerks 
should  be  formed,  un- 
der some  appropriate 
name,  which  society 
should  embody  all  the 
points  of  the  present 
system  of  Odd-fellow- 
ship, together  with  the 
addition  of  the  follow- 
ing, viz: 

That  each  and  every 
clerk,  when  thrown 
out  of  employment 
through  any  cause,  save 
and  excepting  mis- 
conduct, should  be  en- 
titled to  draw  a  certain 
sum  weekly,  for  six 
weeks. 

No  qualifications 
should  be  necessary  to 
entitle  any  one  to  mem- 
bership, except  honesty 
and  morality;  these  two 
points  of  character 
should  be  rigidly  insisted 
on;  and  the  most  effect- 
ual manner  by  which 
we  could  arrive  at  the 
first  qualification  would 
be  to  require  from  the 
applicant  a  certificate 
of  honesty  from  each 
and  every  employer  he 
hasever  lived  with,  and 
for  the  srcond,  inquiry 
and  report. 

Should  an  applica- 
tion be  made  by  a  per- 
son coming  from  any 
country  town  or  other 
city,  let  him  produce  a 
certificate    from   his 


former  employer  and 
that  employer's  good 
standing  to  be  vouched 
for  by  the  mayor  or 
selectmen  of  said  town 
or  city. 

LITERARY 
PHENOMENA- 

There  are  several  no- 
ticeable characteristics 
of  American  letters  at 
the  present  time.  Many 
old  things,  we  believe, 
are  passing  away  under 
the  influence  of  a  gen- 
eral law  by  which  the 
intellectual  advance- 
ment of  the  country 
bears  some  proportion 
to  its  physical  increase, 
and  the  development  of 
refinement  and  civiliza- 
tion. 

Much  of  theliterature 
of  the  country,  how- 
ever,—the  poems  that 
should  elevate,  and  es- 
says that  should  i  nterest , 
the  biographical  articles 
which  should  be  true 
and  candid,  that  they 
might  as  well  warn  by 
the  exhibition  of  errors 
as  encourage  by  good 
example,  the  criticism 
which  should  purify  the 
taste— most  of  what  is 
read  by  the  people  still 
continues  tobe  furnished 
in  magazines  illustrated 
with  plates  of  the  fash- 
ions and  engravings, 
bad  copies  from  the  bad 
tawdry  originals  of  the 
English  annuals.  The 
purest  literature  flowing 
through  such  a  channel 
must  take  its  tone,  in 
some  degree,  from  the 
adjacent  soil. 


Extraordinary  as  it 
may  appear,  a  company 
cf  men  who  should 
have  been  shut  up  as 
lunatics,  actually  pro- 
posed to  raise  Capt. 
Kidd's  ship,  which  tra- 
dition says  was  sunk  on 
the  Hudson  river,  car- 
rying down  large  sums 
of  gold.  The  stock  in 
this  moonshine  project, 
amounting  to  $300,000 
was  taken  by  many 
wealthy  persons  in  New 
York,  but  the  bubble 
has  burst,  and  they  are 
the  laughing  stock  of 
country.

A  NEW  COT- 
TON PLANT— The 

editor  of  the  New  Or- 
leans Orleanian  has 
seen  a  boll  of  cotton 
which  deserves  the  at- 
tention cf  the  cultiva- 
tors, on  account  of  its 
growth  and  its  early 
maturity.  On  the  first 
day  of  June  last  a  lady 
planted  in  her  garden  a 
few  cotton  seeds  pre- 
sented her  by  a  gentle- 
man. On  the  25th  day 
of  July  a  boll  was  ready 
for  picking;  and  at  the 
end  of  sixty  days  from 
the  time  of  planting  the 
cotton  had  arrived  at 
maturity;  being  in  less 
than  one-half  of  the 
time  it  takes  the  species 
now  raised  by  our 
planters  to  do  so.  The 
lady  was  totally  unac- 
quainted with  the  culti- 
vation of  the  great 
Southern  staple.  The 
seeds  were  introduced 
by  Mr.  Hayams,  from 
Youcatan,  and  are 
styled  the  Alica.  This 
may  mean  much  to  the 
cotton  industiy. 


YALE  LITER- 

ARY  —  The  present

graved view  of  "Yale 
College  and  the  College 
Chapel"  as  it  appeared 
in  1786,  and  a  quaint 
thing  it  is — the  antique, 
old  college  officers  in 
their  cocked  hats  and 
gowns,  and  the  antique 
youngsters  in  their  pig- 
tails and  shorts  —  in  the

a  comical  contrast  to  the

the  value  of  the  silver 
tea  spoons  in  the  United

$36,000,000;  of  silver

IMPROVEMENT 
IN  TELEGRAPH 

-Col.  H.  W.  Cleve- 
land, who  has  been 
connected  with  the  line 
of  Magnetic  Telegraphs 
since  their  first  estab- 
lishment as  an  assistant 
has,  we  learn,  by  a  re- 
cent discovery,  over- 
come the  difficulty  here- 
tofore labored  under  of 
crossing  water  courses 
by  a  peculiarly  insulated 
wire  which  is  passed  in 
a  leaden  pipe  under 
water.  One  of  these 
wires  or  improvements 
has  recently  been  placed 
under  the  drawbridge  at 
Gunpowder  River,  and 
has  been  in  successful 
operation  for  several 
days.  It  is,  we  believe, 
the  intention  of  the  com- 
pany to  adopt  this  mode 
of  connection  at  the 
several  draws  and 
streams  along  the  line, 
which  will  obviate 
many  of  the  vexatious 
interruptions  heretofore 
experienced.  If  the 
North  River  and  other 
rivers  can  be  crossed 
with  this  improvement, 
it  will  be  one  of  great 
advantage.

BRAVE  LAD 

MAKES   2  MURDER- 
ERS PRISONERS. 

A  boy  seventeen 
years  of  age,  by  the 
name  of  Frisby,  of 
Louisiana,  seeing  a  re- 
ward offered  by  the 
governor  for  the  appre- 
hension of  the  Kelleys, 
murderers  of  Mr.  Cat- 
lin,  in  Jefferson  county, 
went  to  a  grocery  kept 
by  one  of  them,  about 
twenty  miles  from 
Munro,  and  command- 
ed him  to  surrender. 
At  this  Kelley  fired  a 
revolver  at  the  lad.  The 
boy  fired  in  return, 
wounding  Kelley  so 
that  he  was  secured  a 
prisoner. 

By  this  time  another 
Kelley  rode  up  and  dis- 
mounted. Frisby  com- 
manded the  rascal  to 
surrender;  but  he  turned 
to  run,  when  the  de- 
termined lad  fired  at 
him  also,  and  sent  a 
buck  shot  between  his 
shoulders,  that  passed 
entirely  through  his 
body. 

Both  were  made 
prisoners  and  were 
safely  delivered  to  the 
civil  authorities,  and 
the  young  man  was  en- 
titled to  the  $1,000  re- 
ward. 

RAILROAD  AC- 
CIDENTS- We  call 
upon  the  Legislatures  of 
the  various  States  to  re- 
fuse new  charters  for 
new  railroads,  except- 
ing upon  the  condition 
that  each  railroad  con- 
struct a  double  track. 
We  believe  that  such  a 
policy  would  greatly  re- 
duce the  number  of  rail- 
road accidents,  which 
we  regret  to  have  to 
say  are  now  very  fre- 
quent. A  few  weeks 
ago  no  less  than  three 
trains  ran  into  one 
[another  in  succession 
during  short  intervals  of 
time  on  the  Hudson 
River  Railroad. 

THE  DEACON'S 

JOKE — In  a  town  in 
Vermont,  a  church 
deacon  went  to  a  store 
for  wine  for  communion 
purposes;  instead,  how- 
ever, of  calling  for  wine, 
he  requested  the  clerk  to 
give  him  "  a  little  more 
of  that  oil."  The  jug 
was  accordingly  filled 
with  oil,  which  went 
upon  the  communion 
table,  and  was  partaken 
of  by  the  church  mem- 
bers—no one  wishing, 
at  that  peculiar  time  to 
make  his  discovery 
known.  This  incident 
illustrates  the  necessity 
of  calling  things  by  their 
right  names.

MANY  CHANGES. 

Castle  Garden  has  seen  strange  sights  and 
itself  has  experienced  a  number  of  rather  re- 
markable changes.  Erected  as  a  fortress  on 
an  island  in  1812  it  stood  sentinel  for  some 
years,  guarding  the  city. 

In  1823  it  was  taken  over  by  the  munici- 
pality and  in  1847  we  find  it  a 
fashionable  place  of  public  amuse- 
ment, resounding,  as  the  article  in 
this  issue  declares,  "with  music  and 
hilarious  applause." 

According  to  an  advertisement 
printed  about  that  time,  "no  de- 
scription can  adequately  convey  a 
notion  of  its  numerous  excellen- 
cies." After  enumerating  the  va- 
rious attractions  the  advertisement 
continues:  "and  on  Sundays  there 
will  be  a  Selection  of  Sacred  Mu- 
sic for  the  Million,  at  12  1-2  cents 
admission — the  seriously  disposed 
may  view  the  great  works  of  the 
Creator  from  the  promenades  out- 
side the  walls  while  the  more  cheer- 
ful may  lift  up  their  hearts  in  Sa- 
cred Song.  Operas  on  Mondays, 
Wednesdays  and  Fridays." 

Jenny  Lind  sang  there  a  few  years 
later  and  in  1852  the  centenary  of  the  stage  in 
New  York  city  was  celebrated  by  a  dramatic 
festival  in  which  our  old  friend,  Lola  Montez, 
a  sketch  of  whose  remarkable  life  we  present- 
ed in  our  last  number,  aroused  tremendous 
enthusiasm. 

From  1855  until  1890  the  one-time  scene 
of  fashionable  splendor  was  destined  to  serve 
as  an  immigrant  station.  In  1896  it  was 
transformed  into  the  Aquarium. 

In  our  next  issue  we  intend  to  illustrate 
our  new  pattern  in  the  "1847  Rogers  Bros." 
line,  the  "Charter  Oak."  It's  a  good  name 
and  we  believe  the  pattern  itself 
very  popular. 

The  city  whose  history  we  shall  sketch 
will  be  Hartford,  the  home  of  the  famous  tree 
after  which  our  new  pattern  is  named.  Hart- 
ford, too,  in  1847,  was  the  home  of  Rogers 
Bros,  and  of  the  electro-silver  plating  industry. 

Besides  affording  a  glimpse  of  the  Hartford 
of  1847  we  shall  briefly  recall  the  episode 
of  October  31,  1687,  that  made  the  Charter 
Oak  famous  in  the  annals  of  the  American 
people.  It  is  an  interesting  story.  We  all 
know  it  in  a  general  way  but  our  sketch  may 
give  some  details  that  have  escaped  the  mem- 
ories of  most  of  us. 

It  was  a  crucial  period  in  the  history  of  the 
Connecticut  Colony  and  therefore  of  the 
country.     In  these  days  it  is  well  occasionally 


to  look  back  upon  the  beginnings  of  things  on 
this  side  of  the  Atlantic.  Such  a  glance  can- 
not but  prove  both  interesting  and  profitable. 

There  are  many  men  who  are  centuries  old 
at  sixty;  others  are  hardly  out  of  their  youth. 
So  with  institutions  and  customs.  Some  of 
those  of  1847  went  to  seed  long  ago,  while 
others  are  as  fresh  and  vigorous  today  as  they 
were  then.  Using  them  as  a  basis  of  com- 
parison, 1847  differs  in  no  way  from  1907, 
and  we  are  startled  when  other  conditions 
that  have  greatly  changed  confront  us. 

In  connection  with  the  sketch  of  Portland, 
Ore.,  we  would  call  attention  to  the  article  on 
Page  1  regarding  the  proposition  to  build  a 
railroad  to  the  Pacific.  These  two  articles 
taken  together  afford  an  illuminative  view  of 
the  United  States  of  1847.

VIEWS  OF  PORTLAND. 

Pictures  help  us  to  understand  better  than 
words  the  wonderful  growth  of  the  city  of 
Portland. 

The  small  picture  in  the  middle  of  the  op- 
posite page  gives  a  view  of  the  west  side  of 
Front  street,  looking  south  from  Ash  street,  as  it 
appeared  in  the  early  days  of  Portland's  history. 

The  building  in  front  of  which  a  number 
of  men  are  grouped  was  the  first  office  of  Wells, 
Fargo  &  Company  in  Portland. 

The  upper  picture  is  a  modern  view  of 
Front  street  looking  south  from  Ash  street, 
and  taking  in  the  same  localities  as  shown  in 
the  small  illustration. 

The  view  at  the  bottom  of  the  page 
shows  the  Wells,  Fargo  building  of  to-day  on 
Sixth  street,  also  the  Hotel  Portland,  Mar- 
quam  and  Oregonian  buildings. 

The  blackheart  cherry  tree  in  full  bloom, 
shown  on  this  page,  was  hauled  across  the 
plains,  as  a  two-year-old  scion,  from  Iowa  to 
Portland  in  1847. 

Between  800  and  1 ,000  scions  of  other 
kinds  of  fruit  trees  were  brought  at  the  same 
time,  and  this  effort  by  Henderson  Luelling, 
of  Henry  County,  la.,  marks  the  introduction 
of  the  first  grafted  fruit  trees  upon  the  Pacific 
coast  in  what  is  now  American  territory. 

We  are  indebted  to  Mr.  H.  S.  Tuthill,  of 
Portland,  and  the  Oregon  Historical  Society  for 
very  valuable  aid  in  securing  views  and  data. 


PORTLAND 

OREGON  IN  THE  YEAR  1847  WAS 

IN  SOMEWHAT  PECULIAR 

POSITION, 

Oregon,  in  1847,  was  just  settling  down  to 
the  serious  business  of  growing.  The  year 
previous  its  boundaries  had  been  determined 
by  treaty  with  Great  Britain  and  in  1848  it 
became  a  territory.  The  year  1847  was  an 
intermediate  period  in  which  to  become  accus- 
tomed to  the  idea  that  it  was  a  part  of  this 
country  and  not  of  British  America  and  to 
prepare  for  the  part  it  was  to  play  in  the  fut- 
ure history  of  the  United  States. 

Portland  in  1847  was  not  a  very  import- 
ant place  even  in  the  new  and 
sparsely  peopled  Oregon  country. 
So  slightingly  was  the  future  me- 
tropolis of  the  Pacific  Northwest 
regarded  that,  in  1848  when  Ore- 
gon became  a  territory,  Portland 
was  only  "a  place  twelve  miles 
from  Oregon  City." 

The  census  of  1850  gave  the 
city  but  821  inhabitants;  that  of 
1 900  gave  90,426.  An  estimate 
of  the  present  population  places  it 
at  about  195,000 — truly  a  remark- 
able growth. 

In  1846  the  dispute  with  Great 
Britain  over  the  boundaries  waxed 
very  bitter  and  the  newspapers  on 
this  side  were  full  of  war  talk. 
The  territory  in  dispute  was  bound- 
ed on  the  west  by  the  Pacific  ocean, 
on  the  south  by  the  forty-second 
degree  of  latitude,  on  the  east  by 
the  Rocky  Mountains  and  on  the  north  by 
54:40  latitude.  For  twenty-eight  years  a 
treaty  of  joint  occupancy  had  been  in  force, 
but  with  the  settlement  of  the  country,  the 
provisions  of  this  treaty  grew  irksome.  Each 
side  made  a  compromise  offer.  The  United 
States  conceded  all  north  of  latitude  49  to 
Great  Britain,  while  the  latter  wished  to  cut 
out  of  what  would  thus  be  left  to  the  United 
States  the  territory  north  and  west  of  the  Co- 
lumbia River.  "The  comparatively  small 
territory  which  remains  in  dispute,"  the 
Anglo-American  of  November  29,  1845, 
contemptuously  remarked,  "is  not  one-tenth  of 
'the  whole  of  Oregon'." 

The  American  offer  prevailed  and  latitude 
49  became  the  northern  boundary,  with  the 
exception  of  the  southern  part  of  Vancouver 
Island,  which,  although  below  the  line,  re- 
mained British. 

Out  of  the  Oregon  defined  by  the  treaty 
signed  June  15,  1846,  Congress,  on  March  2, 
1853,  carved  Washington  Territory.  On 
March  3,  1863,  Idaho  was  sliced  off  from 
Washington  and  to  Montana  and  Wyoming 
were  added  parts  of  the  original  Oregon 
country. 

The  bill  providing  for  a  territorial  form  of 
government  passed  both  houses  on  August  14, 
1848,  and  General  Joseph  Lane,  a  Mexican 
war  veteran,  was  appointed  the  first  governor, 
after  the  position  had  been  refused  by  Abra-

ham    Lincoln,    who    was    destined    to    play 
another  part  in  his  country's  history. 

Portland  dates  back  to  1844,  when  Francis 
W.  Pettygrove  built  the  first  house,  a  log  cab- 
in, on  the  original  town  site  and  he  and  Amos 
L.  Lovejoy  projected  a  town  in  the  wilder- 
ness. Pettygrove  wished  to  name  the  village 
seen  by  his  prophetic  eye  Portland,  in  honor 
of  the  chief  city  of  Maine,  his  native  state, 
but  Lovejoy,  a  loyal  Massachusetts  man,  con- 
tended for  the  name  Boston.  The  tossing  of 
a  cent  decided  the  question.  The  city  was 
incorporated  January  23,   1851. 

The  first  school  in  Portland  was  taught  by 
Dr.  Ralph  Wilcox  in  1847. 
-  In  this  same  year  the  first  frame  building 
in  Portland  was  erected,  and  is  still  standing. 
The  frame  and  the  finishing  lumber  were  ship- 
ped from  Maine  around  Cape  Horn.  For  a 
number  of  years  after  it  was  built  it  was  by 
long  odds  the  most  pretentious  house  in  Port- 
land. 

The  first  United  States  postal  service  west 
of  the  Rocky  Mountains  was  authorized  by 
Congress  during  the  winter  of  1846-7. 

It  was  in  1847  that  Marcus  Whitman,  mis- 
sionary to  the  Indians,  and  thirteen 
others  were  massacred  by  the 
Cayuse  Indians  at  Walla  Walla. 
Five  years  before  that  Dr.  Whit- 
man had  made  his  famous  journey 
across  the  continent  to  Washington 
to  urge  the  administration  to  stand 
firm  in  the  American  claim  to 
Oregon.  "It  is  just,"  says  the 
New  England  Magazine,  "to  rank 
Marcus  Whitman  with  Fremont 
and  other  great  pioneers." 

The  massacre  led  to  the  "Cay- 
use war,"  which  was  prosecuted 
by  a  "Provisional  Government," 
which  declared  war,  raised  an  army, 
se;ured  the  funds  to  carry  on  the 
war  and  fulfilled  other  require- 
ments of  a  government — all  this 
without  the  least  authority  from  the 


government  of  the  United  States. 
"In  this  respect  the  Oregon  story  is 
unique  in  the  history  of  the  states  of 
the  American  Union." 

The  Provisional  Government  was 
managed  by  an  executive  committee 
of  three  until  June  5,  1845,  when 
George  Abernethy  was  elected 
governor  with  a  full  complement  of 
officials.  Abernethy  was  succeeded 
by  General  Lane  in  1 849. 

When  we  consider  that  the  first 
official  census  of  "Old  Oregon"  in 
1 850,  before  the  division  of  the  ter- 
ritory, gave  a  population  of  but 
13,294,  the  progress  made  by  the 
state  and  by  its  largest  city  seems 
wonderful  indeed.  And  Portland 
is  still  growing. 

According  to  the  Portland  Com- 
mercial Club,  the  percentage  of  increase  in 
building  permits  during  the  months  of  May 
and  July,  1906,  over  the  same  months  of 
1905  was  greater  than  in  any  other  city  of  the 
United  States. 

Moreover  it  is  claimed  that  Portland  leads 
every  city  in  the  Pacific  Northwest  in  postal 
receipts,  school  population,  lumber  produc- 
tion, wheat  and  flour  exports  and  wholesale 
trade.  Her  annual  wholesale  business  is  said 
to  amount  to  $205,000,000. 

Compare  this  great  and  growing  city  with 
the  little  settlement  of  1847.  The  conver- 
sion of  a  bit  of  virgin  forest  into  a  prosper- 
ous city,  pulsating  with  the  spirit  of  progress, 
and  all  well  within  the  span  of  one  man  s 
life,  is  not  so  common  a  matter  as  to  be 
d  over  lightly.  It  is  not  difficult  to 
point  out  why  this  was  possible,  but  because 
to  some  degree  we  understand  we  are  none 
the  less  impressed  by  the  wonder  of  it  all. 
The  advance  made  in  sixty  years  is  not  due 
entirely  to  Portland's  natural  physical  advan- 
tages— important  as  they  are — but  in  great 
part  to  the  character  of  her  founders  and 
those  who  succeeded  them.

Saves  Time  and  Talk 

"I    find    I    must    handle    the    1847    Rogers    Bros. 
brand,''  declared  a  buyer  recently. 

"It  saves  valuable  time  and  talk.     Whether  some  of 
the  other  brands  are  just  as  good  does  not  enter  into  the 
question.       The    buying   public  know  the  1847  Rogers 
Bros,  goods  and    to  show  them  goods  stamped  with 
that  trade-mark  is  to  satisfy  them  as  to  the  quality. 

"With  other  brands  it  takes  time  to  convince  the  purchaser — time  which  even  the 
most  capable  and  convincing  salespeople  cannot  devote  to  any  one  line. 

"I  am  convinced  that  1847  Rogers  Bros,  is  the  line  for  the  busy  dealer  to  tie 
up  to." 

Without  doubt  many  dealers  have  had  the  same  experience  related  in  the  above 
statement — which,  by  the  way,  was  actually  made  by  the  buyer  of  a  large  and  well- 
known  house. 

The  stamp  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  is  a  guarantee— and  the  buying  public  recognize 
it  as  such.

CASTLE  GARDEN 

DESCRIPTION  OF  THE 
RESORT. 

Our  artist  has  here 
given  us  a  very  truthful 
picture  of  this  well- 
known  locality  and 
building.  The  capaci- 
ty of  the  latter  is  per- 
fectlyenormous.  Every 
person  who  has  ever 
visited  the  city  of  New 
York  is  doubtless  aware 
of  the  superiority  of  its 
situation  as  a  fashion- 
able resort  in  the  hot 
and  sultry  days  of  sum- 
mer. 

No  stranger  journey- 
ing to  the  London  of 
America,  will  neglect 
visiting,  among  the  oth- 
er beautiful  and  promi- 
nent objects  of  interest 
with  which  the  city 
abounds,  this  noted 
place. 

A  strange  mutation 
here!  No  longer  de- 
voted to  warlike  pur- 
poses this  place  resounds 
with  music  and  hilari- 
ous applause.  It  has 
been  roofed  entirely 
over,  and  a  cupola  lets 
in  light  from  above,  the 
gravelled  court  has  been 
floored,  an  amphithea- 
tre has  been  built  with- 
in the  walls,  capable  of 
seating  four  thousand 
persons,  the  roof  is  sus- 
tained upon  gothic  pil- 
lars and  the  interior  has 
been  beautified  by  de- 
signs in  Fresco.  A 
stage  has  been  erected 
and  an  orchestra  in 
which  are  thirty-two 
musicians  plays. 

The  principal  mem- 
bers of  the  late  Italian 
opera  company  are 
there  on  alternate 
nights,  giving  the  music 
of  fine  operas,  choruses 
and  all,  but  not  in  cos- 
tume nor  with  change 
of  scene,  and  the  amuse- 
ments of  other  nights 
being  English  vocalism, 
Tight  Rope,  and  other 
popular  exhibitions. 


TELEGRAPH-

among  other  marvellous 
things,  that  Mr.  S. 
Porter,  the  Superin- 
tendent of  the  telegr»ph 
line  from  Buffalo  to 
Toronto,  Canada,  for 
lack  of  other  facilities  at 
the  moment,  has  read 
communications  cor- 
rectly by  holding  the 
wires  in  his  hands  and 
observing  the  twitches 
of  the  nerves  at  his 
wrist.  Another  opera-

of  the  wire  upon  his 
tongue,  reads  perfectly 
and  without  the  slight- 
est error,  by  the  sensa- 
tion of  the  shocks. 
This  he  has  often  done, 
and  with  entire  accu- 
racy.

for  any  and  all  the  pur-

soon  as  such  a  line  un- 
dertakes to  operate. 
Prof.  Morse  will  cause 
an  injunction  to  be  laid 
upon  it  for  the  purpose 
of  testing  the  extent  and 
validity  of  his  patent. 
He  maintains  that  his 
patent    involves   the' 


whole  application  of 
electricity  to  telegraphic 
purposes  by  means  of 
continuous  wires  and 
that  no  improvement  in 
the  mode  of  instruments 
by  which  the  telegraph 
is  operated  can  be  used 
except  by  his  permission . 

WESTERN  TEL- 
EGRAPH    CO. 

In  a  letter  to  the  Cin- 
cinnati Gazette,  Eli- 
phalet  Case,  Jr.,  an- 
nounces that  he  has  ob- 
tained a  legal  transfer 
from  the  patentees  of 
their  right  to  construct 
a  line  or  lines  of  mag- 
netic telegraph,  connec- 
ting the  cities  of  New 
York,  Washington, 
Baltimore,  and  Phila- 
delphia westward  with 
Harrisburg,  Pittsburg, 
Cumberland,  Wheel- 
ing, via  Columbus  to 
Cincinnati,  Louisville, 
Nashville.  &c. .  to  New 
Orleans,  and  from 
Louisville  to  St.  Louis, 
and  from  Columbus  to 
Cleveland. 

He  will  proceed  to 
form  a  company  imme- 
diately to  be  known  as 
"The  Western  Tele- 
graph Company,"  for 
the  purpose  of  raising 
the  necessary  funds  to 
connect  the  above 
named  places,  and  in- 
termediate points  of  suf- 
ficient importance  to  re- 
quire an  office.  The 
cost  of  construction,  in- 
cluding batteries,  and 
all  things  necessary  for 
working  Morse's  Elec- 
tro-Magnetic Tele- 
graph, is  not  to  exceed 
$125  per  mile  for  one 
wire  and  $35  per  mile 
for  each  additional 
wire. — The  whole  dis- 
tance will  fall  short  of 
two  thousand  miles,  and 
consequently  the  entire 
cost  will  be  less  than 
$2  50,000— a  very 
small  sum  for  such  an 
important  work. 

The  interruptions  on 
the  eastern  lines  will  be 
avoided  on  this  line  by 
using  iron  wire  instead

TELEGRAPH 
TORN   DOWN- 

There  are  towers  built 
on  the  banks  of  the 
Hudson. a  shortdistance 
above  New  York  city, 
for  suspending  the  wires 
of  House's  Telegraph, 
which  crosses  the  river 
to  the  Jersey  side. 
Last  week  the  fly  of  a 
sloop  caught  the  curve 
of  the  wires  and  tore 
them  away. 

Our  telegraph  opera- 
tors will  yet  be  forced 
into  the  more  plausible 
plan  of  carrying  the 
wires  across  the  rivers 
by  tubes  laid  down  in 
the  water. 

GOVERNMENT 
CONTROL— It  has 

been  recommended  by 
some  of  the  merchants, 
that  when  Congress 
meet,  to  take  measures 
to  [-lace  the  control  of 
all  the  direct  routes  of 
the  Electric  Telegraph 
in  the  hands  of  the  Gen- 
eral Government. 


GLASS  FOR  PI- 
ANO KEYS.-Itwill 

be  seen  that  they  are 
beginning  to  use  ruby 
glass  for  this  purpose  in 
England.  We  have  on- 
ly to  say  that  the  same 
plan  was  proposed  by 
C.  H.  Packard,  of 
Bridgewater,  Mass., 
some  time  ago,  and  that 
he  has  been  engaged, 
we  believe,  in  perfecting 
his  invention,  and  that 
he  is  the  American  in- 
ventor of  this  substitute 
for  ebony  and  ivory  in 
the  keys  of  organs  and 
pianos. 

Two  large  elephants 
belonging  to  Messrs. 
Raymond  6c  Co.  were 
drowned  in  the  Dela- 
ware river,  near  Phila- 
delphia, on  the  I  5th. 
They  refused  to  walk 
down  a  ferry  slip  to  a 
steamboat;  but  when 
their  keeper  led  them 
to  the  marine  railway 
to  induce  them  to  swim, 
(to  which  they  cheer- 
fully submitted,)  unfor- 
tunately they  were 
yoked  together,  and 
this  so  embarrased  them 
that  both  were  drown- 
ed. 

A  young  man  in 
Newark, N.  J., in  shak- 
ing a  pair  of  pantaloons, 
one  leg  flew  up,  driving 
a  strap  button  into  one 
of  his  eyes,  making  a 
strange  and  very  severe 
wound.  Some  hope  of 
saving  the  organ  is  en- 
couraged by  the  physi- 
cians. 


A  new  shaving  soap 
has  been  invented, 
which  ta  kes  off  the  beard 
by  merely  rubbing  the 
soap  on  the  chin.  The 
only  fault  our  informant 
says  it  possesses  is  that 
it  takes  off  the  skin  too. 

LOCOMOTIVE 

ON  HIGHWAY- 

We  perceive  that  an 
experiment  has  been 
made  in  France  with  a 
peculiar  kind  of  Loco- 
motive, to  run  on  the 
highways.  This  is  not 
a  new  invention.  Steam 
Coaches  ran  for  a  short 
time  on  some  of  the 
roads  in  Scotland,  in 
1843,  but  a  great  ex- 
plosion put  an  end  to 
the  sheme. 

WAS  A  HOAX 

— A  contemporary  has 
discovered  that  a  report 
of  a  marriage  of  a  gent- 
leman in  Boston  to  a 
lady  in  New  York  by 
Telegraph,  is  a  sheer 
hoax  !    Bright  isn  't  he  ? 

GREAT  PRO- 
JECT- It  is  contem- 
plated to  bring  the  En- 
field Canal  to  Hart- 
ford. Ct.,  so  as  to  supply 
the  city  with  water  and 
water  power.  The 
route  has  already  been 
surveyed,  and  found 
practicable.  This  will 
enable  Hartford  to 
work  500,000  spindles, 
thus  exceeding  Lowell. 
The  whole  cost  would 
be  about  $700,000.  It 
certainly  is  a  great  pro- 
ject. 


It  is  proposed  in  this 
article  to  offer  some  re- 
marks on  the  project  of 
the  "American  Peace 
Society,'  for  a  "Con- 
gress of  Nations."  The 
writer  issufficientlysen- 
sible  of  the  disfavor  with 
which  the  project  is 
likely  to  be  regarded: 
"Utopian,  chimerical, 
impracticable"  are  the 
terms  which  doubtless 
many  will  apply  to  it ; 
and  yet,  if  there  is  a  law 
of  Nations,  is  it  extra- 
vagant to  ask  why  there 
may  not  be  a  Court  of 
Nations? 

The  world  is  slowly 
arriving  at  the  convic- 
tion that  there  must  be 
some  other  method  than 
war  by  which  reason- 
able beings  may  settle 
their  disputes. 

Suppose  a  Court  of 
Reference,  then,  as- 
sembled to  settle  some 
great  national  contro- 
versy. How  natural 
would  it  be,  that  other 
and  similar  questions 
should  be  submitted  to 
it!  If  the  court  were 
composed  of  individuals 
of  great  weight  and  dig- 
nity of  character,  we 
persuade  ourselves  that 
it  could  hardly  happen 
but  that  some  other 
causes  would  be  brought 
before  it.  And  thus  in 
time  there  might  grow 
up  a  great  Amphicty- 
onic  Council,  more 
worthy  surely  to  decide 
between  civilized  nat- 
ions, than  the  dread  as- 
size of  battle. 

If  a  congress  of  nations 
were  now  assembled  to 
form  a  code,  would  not 
the  work  be  left  half 
undone  if  a  court  were 
not  organized,  to  inter- 
pret and  apply  it? 

Such  a  cojrt  would 
possess  great  advantages 


in  its  position  and  per- 
manence. From  its  per- 
manence, it  would  be 
in  a  situation  to  form  a 
body  of  precedents  to 
govern  its  decisions. 

That  great  step,  in 
civilization  which  would 
be  taken  by  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  court  of 
nations, .the  greatest  — 
probably  the  most  im- 
portant that  yet  remains 
to  be  taken  does  really 
not  present  itself  in  a 
light  as  extravagant  as 
have  many  successful 
projectsfor  the  improve- 
ment of  the  human  con- 
dition. 

In  the  next  place, 
against  the  proposition 
made  in  this  essay,  no 
prejudice  ought  to  be 
entertained  on  account 
of  its  seeming  novelty  ; 
for  the  very  good  reason 
that  it  is  not  new. 

Far  back  in  the  ages 
of  Grecian  story,  so  far, 
indetd,  that  its  origin  is 
lost  in  the  shadows  of 
antiquity,  flourished,  at 
Thermopylae,  the  Am- 
phictyonic  Council. 

There  has  been  too 
an  alliance  within  the 
present  century,  an  al- 
liance denominated 
"Holy,  "for  the  defence 
of  royalandimperial  pre- 
rogatives against  pop- 
ular encroachments; 
and  without  asking  why 
a  Holy  Alliance  may 
not  be  formed  for  the 
welfare  of  the  people, 
by  the  preservance  of 
peace,  it  may,  at  least 
be  said  that  a  propo- 
sition to  this  effect  ought 
not  to  be  regarded  as  a 
strange  and  monstrous 
project,  to  be  rejected 
because  it  is  new.  It  is 
only  to  change  the  de- 
sign without  changing 
the  form,  and  the  ex- 
ample becomes  familiar.

THE  CHARTER  OAK 


STORY  OF  THE  TREE  THAT  IS  FAMOUS  IN  THE  HISTORY 

OF  OUR  COUNTRY. 

The  Charter  Oak — for  a  period  the  reposi-  courtly  and  tactful  man  in  the  colony,"  was  was  delivered  to  two  Hartford  magistrates,  Sam- 
tory  of  the  charter  of  the  Connecticut  colony  sent  to  England  on  this  mission,  carrying  with  uel  Wyllys  and  John  Talcott,  the  treasurer

in  the  history  of  our  country.  As  is  usual  in 
such  cases,  time  has  drawn  a  veil  of  mystery 
about  the  incident,  and  it  is  sometimes  difficult 
to  distinguish  between  what  is  fact  and  fiction. 
In  the  present  sketch  we  shall  endeavor  to 
stick  as  close  as  may  be  to  what  appears  to 
be  well  authenticated. 

The  Colony  obtained  its  charter  from 
Charles  lion  April  23rd,  1662.  Governor  John 
Winthrop,   described    as    "perhaps   the    most 


where   doubtless  the  average  man  would  have 
failed. 

The  charter  was  issued  to  Governor  Win- 
throp in  duplicate,  each  copy  being  valid  and 
binding.  One  of  these  he  consigned  to  Simon 
Bradstreet  and  Rev.  John  Norton,  who  were 
about  to  return  to  Massachusetts  colony, 
whence  they  had  come  to  make  secure  their 
own  charter.  They  arrived  in  Boston  Sep- 
tember  3rd,    1662,    and  the  charter  probably 


United  Colonies,  met  at  Boston  the  day  after 
the  arrival  of  Bradstreet  and  Norton.  The  sec- 
ond copy  remained  in  England  for  many 
years. 

For  nearly  a  generation  the  Connecticut 
colony  retained  undisputed  possession  of  its 
charter.  Then  came  trouble.  On  December 
19th,  1686,  Sir  Edmund  Andros  arrived  in 
Boston  bearing  a  commission  as  Governor  of 
New    England.        Charles     was     dead,     and

-THE  SILVER  STANDARD 


now— 1907 


James,  who  had  ascended  the  throne  in  1685, 
had  from  the  first  assumed  an  attitude  calcu- 
lated to  cause  much  misgiving  in  the  minds  of 
the  colonists.  Shortly  after  Andros'  arrival 
in  this  country  he  demanded  that  Connecti- 
cut's charter  be  surrendered.  He  was  not, 
however,  so  successful  as  in  the  case  of  Mass- 
achusetts, which  had  complied  with  a  like 
demand.  The  sentiment  of  the  colonists  was 
unmistakably  against  yielding. 

John  Talcott  and  John  Allyn,  who,  with 
Samuel  Wyllys,  had  been  appointed  by  the 
General  Court  of  Connecticut  as  keepers  of 
the  charter,  questioned  the  wisdom  of  hold- 
ing out,  and  expressed  that  opinion  to  the 
Assembly,  March  30th,  1687.  The  reply  of 
that  body  was  another  and  decisive  vote 
against  surrender. 

On  October  26th,  1687,  therefore,  Gov- 
ernor Andros  set  out  for  Hartford,  escorted 
by  some  gentlemen  of  his  council,  trumpeters 
and  redcoats.  Hartford,  at  this  time,  was  a 
scattered  village,  having  about  1 ,200  inhabi- 
tants. Although  the  wealthiest  town  in  the 
Colony,  its  taxable  estates  amounted  to  only 
£18,118.  It  was  hallowe'en  when  Andros 
and  his  party  reached  Hartford.  The  mem- 
bers of  the  General  Court  were  gathered, 
awaiting  his  arrival,  and  a  session  or  the 
Court  was  held  without  delay. 

There  were  present  Governor  Robert  Treat, 
Deputy  Governor  James  Bishop,  Assistants 
John  Talcott,  John  Allyn,  William  Jones, 
John  Wadsworth,  Andrew  Leete,  Benjamin 
Newberry,  Giles  Hamlin,  James  Fitch  and 
Samuel  Mason,  and  the  following  depu- 
ties of  the  Colony  ;  "  Nathaniel  Stanley  and 
Ciprian  Niccols,  for  Hartford  ;  Henry  Woll- 
cott,  (Windsor);  William  Lewes,  and  John 
Stanley,  (Farmington)  ;  Daniel  Harris,  (Mid- 
dletown) ;  Moses  Mansfield  and  Abram 
Dickerman,  (New  Haven)  ;  John  Beard  and 
Samuel  Buckingham,  (Milford);  Samuel 
Sherman,  (Stratford);  Samuel  Hayes,  (Nor- 
walk);  Thomas  Leffingwell,  Norwich);  Abra- 
ham Brunson,  (Lyme);  Henry  Crane,  (Kill- 
ingworth);  William  Johnson  and  John  Grave, 
(Guilford);  Thomas  Yale  and  John  Hall, 
(Wallingford);  Ebenezer  Johnson,  ( Derby); 
George  Gates,  (Haddam);  Eliezur  Stent, 
(Branford);  John  Chapman  and  William 
Dudley, (Saybrook)." 

The  towns  of  Simsbury,  Woodbury,  Stam- 
ford and  Stomngton  were  not  represented. 

To  all  these  members  of  the  Court  the 
occasion  was  momentous.  They  felt  that 
they  and  the  little  commonwealth  of  which 
they  were  a  part  had  been  brought  face  to 
face  with  a  great  crisis.  They  could  not,  of 
course,  realize  how  much  depended  on  the 
outcome  of  the  meeting  that  night;  they  could 
not  foresee  the  mighty  nation  that  was  to  be 
buiided  on  the  broad  foundation  of  civic 
liberty  they  were  helping  to  lay;  but  to  some 
of  them  doubtless  it  was  plain  not  only  that  the 
rights  of  the  Connecticut  Colony  were  in  jeop- 
ardy, but  that  a  great  principle  was  at  stake 
— a  principle  the  overthrowing  of  which 
would  affect  others  than  the  little  state  cling- 
ing to  it  so  desperately. 

As  to  just  what  happened  at  that  evening 
session  no  contemporary  record  exists,  and 
probably  none  was  made,  other  than  the  sin- 
gle sentence  which  officially  records  the  an- 
nexation of  Connecticut  by  Andros. 


A  summary  of  the  earliest  accounts,  written  the  Assembly  to  be  the  keeper  of  it,  and  the

The  session  continued  until  late  in  the  even-  Still  later,  in  May,  1715,  the  following  re-

Then  in  the  midst  of  the  debate,  and  per- 
haps when  it  seemed  that  the  charter  must  be 
given  up,  suddenly  the  candles  were  extin- 
guished. When  they  were  relighted,  the

more  than  twenty-five  years.

was  it  the  sudden  act  of  some  individual  pre- 
sent? Did  Andros  storm  and  threaten  and 
call  upon  the  redcoated  soldiers  to  search  for 
and  recover  the  document  and  to  bring  before 
him  the  guilty  party  who  had  taken  it?  Did 
the  Governor  and  members  present,  conceal- 
ing their  satisfaction,  endeavor  to  apologize  for 
the  incident  and  join  with  Andros  in  a  vain 
search  for  the  missing  document?  We  do 
not  know.  The  answer  to  these  and  other  quer- 
ies is  left  to  the  imagination. 

Andros  did  not  regard    the   spiriting   away 
of  the    charter  as  a   defeat,    however,    as    is 
clearly  evidenced  by  the  following  terse  entry 
which  appears  on  the  records  of  the  Colony: 
His  Excellency,  Sir  Edmund  Andros, Knight, Cap- 


pears  to  have  been  a  man  of  considerable 
consequence  in  the  colony.  He  was  ap- 
pointed lieutenant  and  later  captain  by  order 
of  the  General  Assembly.  He  was  a  deputy 
from  Hartford  in  1685,  '94,  '95,  '99,  1703, 
04,  05.  He  became  a  lawyer  in  1712  at 
the  age  of  sixty-four.  He  died  in  I  730,  and 
his  body  is  supposed  to  have  been  buried  in 
the  cemetery  at  the  corner  of  Main  and  Gold 
streets,  Hartford,  although  no  stone  marks  his 
resting  place. 

We  have  seen  that  the  charter  was  made 
out  in  duplicate,  and  that  Winthrop  forward- 
ed one  of  the  copies  to  the  colony.     It  seems 


tain   General  and  Governor  of  His  Majesty's  Terri-   to  have  been    expected    that    he    would    bring 


lories  and  Dominions  in  New  England,  by  order  of 
His  Majesty,  James  the  second.  King  of  England, 
Scotland,  France  and  Ireland,  the  thirty-first  of  Octo- 
ber, 1687,  took  into  his  hands  the  Government  of  this 
Colony  of  Connecticut,  it  being  by  His  Majesty  an- 
nexed to  the  Massachusetts  and  other  colonies  under 
His  Excellencies  Government.     Finis." 

Meantime,  what  of  the  charter?  It  had 
disappeared  during  the  period  of  darkness 
while  the  candles  were  being  relighted.  Some 
say  that  both  charters  were  taken  at  this  time, 
although  official  records  tend  to  disprove  this. 
The  credit  for  taking  and  preserving  the  char 
ter  (or  charters)  is  given  to  sundry  different 
persons  by  early  writers  on  the  subject  and  by 
the  traditions  handed  down  in  several  families 
But  the  only  official  record  gives  credit  alone 
to  Captain  Joseph  Wadsworth. 

This  session  of  the  Court  is  believed  to  have 
been  held  behind  closed  doors,  and  conse- 
quently, as  Wadsworth  was  not  a  member,  he 
could  not  have  been  present,  and  the  actual 
removal  of  the  charter  from  the  table  must 
have  been  the  work  of  another  hand  than  his. 
But  he  it  was,  no  doubt,  who  carried  the  pre- 
cious parchment  through  the  town  under  cover 
of  the  darkness  and  secreted  it  in  a  hollow 
of  the  now  famous  oak,  which  stood  in  front 
of  the  residence  of  Magistrate  Samuel  Wyllys. 

It  is  unlikely  that  the  charter  remained  hid- 
den in  the  oak  for  a  considerable  time.     Th 


the  other  copy  with  him  when  he  returned 
from  England  the  following  year.  This 
Winthrop  did  not  do,  but  instead  left  it  in 
London  in  the  hands  of  James  Porter.  There 
it  remained  until  late  in  1686,  twenty-four 
years,  when  William  Whiting,  the  Colony's 
agent  in  London,  was  instructed  to  procure  it 
from  Porter  and  have  it  ready  to  exhibit  in 
Court  if  need  be  at  the  hearing  of  Quo  War- 
ranto proceedings  on  the  annulment  of  this 
very  charter.  The  correspondence  that  is 
preserved  between  Whiting  and  the  Colony 
seems  to  prove  beyond  question  that  this 
charter  was  not  sent  to  Connecticut  between 
October,  1686,  when  the  instructions  above 
noted  were  sent,  and  October,  1687,  when 
the  charter  was  hidden.  There  was  no  rea- 
son at  that  time  for  sending  it  to  this  country, 
while  there  was  every  reason  of  retaining  it  in 
London.  Consequently,  there  could  have 
been  but  one  charter  preserved  and  hidden 
by  Wadsworth,  there  being  but  one  in  Con- 
necticut at  the  time  of  Andros'  visit  and  de- 
mand; and  this,  notwithstanding  the  various 
statements  that  the  two  charters  were  hidden 
and  the  sundry  names  given  as  the  traditional 
preservers  of  each. 

Of    the    two   charters,  one  was  the  "origi- 
nal "  and  the  other   the   "duplicate"  only   in 


chance   of   its  accidental  discovery  there  or  of  j  'be  sense  of  one  having  been  sealed  first,

LOLA  MONTEZ  AGAIN. 

Long   ago    we  gave   up   speculating    as    to 
whether    The    Standard  was  being  carefully 
read  by  those  to  whom  it  was  sent.     We  have 
received    so    many 
words  of  commen- 
dation and  so  great 
a  degree  of  genuine 
appreciation    has 
been  and  constantly 
is  being  manifested 
that    that    question 
has  been  very  satis- 
factorily  answered. 

In  this  connection 
a  recent  letter  is  of 
more  than  usual  in- 
terest, dealing,  as  it 
does,  with  a  feature 
of  a  late  issue  of 
The  Standard.  Mr. 
E.  M.  Shepherd,  of 
the  jewelry  firm  of 
Shepherd  &  Ben- 
nett, of  Maiden, 
Mass.,  writes  as  fol- 
lows regarding  Lola 
Montez,  the  dancer 
and  favorite  of  the 
King  of  Bavaria, 
whose  life  we  very 
briefly  sketched  and  whose  portrait  we  printed:  chamber 


rian  of  the  Connecticut  Historical  Society  at 
Hartford.  We  have  regretfully  but  firmly 
turned  our  back  upon  many  details  of  the  story 
that,  although  adding  to  it  much  color  and 
"human  interest,"  do  not  seem  capable  of 
verification. 

To  any  one  desiring  to  read  a  longer  ac- 
count and  one  rich  in  detail  we  would  recom- 
mend Mr.  W.  H.  Gocher's  "  Wadsworth,  or 
The  Charter  Oak,"  published  by  the  author, 
a  Hartford  gentleman.  The  disappearance  of 
the  charter  is  told  in  a  very   entertaining  way. 

The  conference  between  Governor  Andros 
and  the  colonists,  according  to  this  account, 
was  held  in  the  tavern,  to  which  a  wing  had 
been  recently  added.  The  addition  of  this 
wing  darkened  a  window  in  the  upper 
room,    which    was    often    used    as   a    council 


To  the  Editor  of  the  Silver  Standard, 

Dear  Sir : — 

Any  one  who  lived  in  Boston  or  any  great 
American  city  during  the  early  50's,  if  at  that 
time  of  mature  age,  will  remember  Lola  Mon- 
tez, and  there  can  be  no  doubt  as  to  her  right 
to  have  a  place  among  the  miscellanies  of  the 
Standard. 

Here  is  a  "skit"  about  Lola  which  was  pub- 
lished at  the  time  in  a  Boston  paper : 
"  Some  say,  what  stoutly  I  deny, 
That  Lola  Montez  is  cracked  up  too  high;* 
That  su'  ly  none  can  say  who'd  be  impartial; 
She's  booked  for  ten  nights  more  to  Mr. 
Marshall."! 

*A  phrase  of  the  time,  nv  aning  praised  too 
highly. 

tMr.  Wyzeman  Marsh.- J]  Lessee  and  Man- 
ager of  the  Boston  Howard  Athaneum,  had 
just  effected  a  re-eng?.gement  with  Lola  for 
t.  o  weeks,  no  perfor'.iance^  on  Saturday. 

The  foregoing  is  '  not  necessarily  for  publi- 
cation," but  might  be  of  interest  to  a  few  who 
remember  old  times. 

Thanking  you  very  much  for  the  pleasure  it 
gives   me   to   read   and    be   reminded   of    the 
sprightly    things   of    days   gone    by,    by    The 
Standard's  judiciously  culled  items,  I  remain 
Very  truly  yours, 

E.  M.  Shepherd. 


and  was  concealed  by  a  valance.  A  stairway 
was  built  to  connect  it  with  the  lane. 

Just  outside  of  the  window,  on  the  night  of 
the  conference,  there  stood  a  man  destined  to 
play  an  important  role  in  what  was  about  to 
take  place,  for  to  him,  Captain  Joseph  Wads- 
worth,  had  been  assigned  the  task  of  stealing 
the  charter. 

Governor  Andros  presented  his  case  and 
made  his  demand  for  the  surrender  of  the 
document.  Brought  to  bay  as  they  were,  the 
colonists  defended  their  position  firmly  but 
despairingly.  The  discussion  was  at  its  height, 
Andros  determined  and  confident,  the  deputies 
no  less  determined  but  far  less  assured,  when 
suddenly  the  candles  were  extinguished. 

Under  cover  of  the  sudden  darkness  the 
paper  was  passed  to  Captain  Wadsworth,  who 
descended  to  the  alley  and,  evading  Andros' 
soldiers,  made  his  way  as  fast  as  possible  to 
the  home  of  Samuel  Wyllys,  one  of  the  cus- 
todians of  the  charter,  but  who  at  this  time 
was  in  the  West  Indies. 


Fearing  that  the  house  might  be  searched,

HARTFORD        | 

SKETCH  OF  CONNECTICUT'S  CAP- 
ITAL, THE  HOME  OF  THE 
CHARTER  OAK. 

The  view  of  Hartford  in  1847  shown  on 
this  page  is  thus  described  in  Gleason's  Picto- 
rial Drawing-Room  Companion,  a  publication 
of   that  period : 

"This  is  a  view  in  the  centre  of  the  city, 
looking  down  Main  street.  On  the  left  of  the 
picture  is  seen  the  State  House.  This  building 
is  situated  in  a  small  triangular  park  bounded 
by  State  and  Main 
streets  and  Central 
Row,  and  is  similar 
in  style  to  the  City 
Hall,  New  York. 
It  is  occupied  by  the 
State  Senate  and 
Assembly, the  Gov- 
ernor and  other 
State  Officers,  be- 
sides some  of  the 
local  courts.  In  the 
Assembly  chamber 
is  the  original  por- 
trait of  Washington 
by  Stuart. 

"Over  the  buil- 
ding to  the  right  of 
the  cupola  is  seen 
thespireofthe  Uni- 
tarian Uniiversalist 
Congregational 
Church,  :n  the  base- 
ment of  which  is 
the  post-office.  On 
Main  street,  oppo- 
site the  State  House, 
the  building  with  the  Phoenix  upon  it  is  the 
Phoenix  Bank,  just  below  which  is  seen  the 
spire  of  the  Centre  Congregational  Church. 

"Opposite  this  church  and  hidden  by  the 
trees  is  the  Wadsworth  Anthenaeum,  on  the 
same  side  with  which  is  St.  John's  Church 
(Episcopal).  In  the  extreme  distance  on  the 
right  of  the  picture  is  seen  the  spire  of  the 
South  Congregational  Church.  This  Church 
is  a  division  of  the  Centre  Congregational 
Church,  which  was  itself  organized  in  Newtown, 
Mass.,  in  1633,  under  the  pastoral  charge  of 
the  celebrated  Rev.  Thos.  Hooker. 

"Main  street  is  one  of  the  handsomest  streets 
in  New  England,  and  is  about  one  hundred 
and  twenty  feet  wide,  and  from  one  and  a 
half  to  two  miles  long.  In  the  summer  season 
it  affords  a  magnificent  drive,  branching,  as  it 
does,  at  either  end  in  several  beautiful  roads 
leading  to  the  various  towns  and  villages  in  the 
vicinity." 

As  a  contrast,  we  present,  on  the  next 
page,  a  view  of  the  same  locality  as  it  appears 
today,  the  cut  being  made  from  a  photograph 
taken  specially  for  The  Silver  Standard. 

Hartford  sixty  years  ago  was  not  a  large 
city.  The  census  of  1840  showed  a  popu- 
lation of  9,468;  the  1850  enumeration,  17,- 
966.  But  1847  was  a  period  of  development. 
The  Mexican  War,    which   then   was  in  pro-

gress,  had  much  to  do  with  the  growth  of  one 
great  enterprise,  creating  as  it  did,  a  demand 
for  the  Colt  revolver. 

Another  industry  that  dates  back  to  1847 
is  too  well  known  to  readers  of  7  he  Silver 
Standard  to  require  much  emphasis.  Three 
Hartford  silversmiths,  that  year,  first  produced 
electro-silver  plated  spoons  and  forks.  The 
process  thus  introduced  by  the  Rogers  brothers, 
who  shortly  after  removed  to  Meriden,  has 
resulted  in  the  great  business  of  today. 

Two  years  before  that  a  young  man  named 
Pliny  Jewell  had  come  to  Hartford  from  New 
Hampshire  and  was  running  a  lanyard.  The 
outgrowth  of  that  humble  enterprise  was  the 
important  Jewell  Belting  Co. 

The  discovery  of  anesthesia  is  credited  to 
a  Hartford  physician  of  that  period — Dr. 
Horace  Wells. 

In  connection  with 
the  article  on  Page  2 
dealing  with  the  Charter 
Oak,  a  glance  at  the 
early  history  of  Hart- 
ford may  not  be  out 
of  place. 

In  1633  a  band  of 
Englishmen,  led  by  their 
pastor,  Rev.  Thomas 
Hooker,  arrived  at 
Cambridge,  Mass.,  then 
known  as  Newtown. 
In  1 636  they  emigrated 
to  what  is  now  Hart- 
ford.The  land  at  Hart- 
ford they  bought  from 
the  River  Indians. 

Thirteen  years  before 
this —  1 623 — the  Dutch 
had  founded  a  trading 
post  at  the  junction  cf 
the  Connecticut  and 
Little  River  (now  Park 
River).  This  locality  is 
still  known  as  Dutch  Point  in  the  city  of  Hart- 
ford. By  the  time  of  Hooker's  arrival,  it  had 
grown  into  a  small  fort,  enclosing  several 
buildings  and  provided  with  a  small  cannon, 
and  sheltered  quite  a  number  of  people,  in- 
cluding women  and  children, — possibly  thirty 
all  told.  It  was  surrounded  by  a  cultivated 
farm  of  about  twenty-five  acres. 

The  Dutch  also  had  purchased  the  land  of 
the  Indians,  dealing  with  the  Pequots,  to  whom 
the  River  Indians  were  tributary.  Quarrels 
soon  arose  between  the  English  and  Dutch 
settlers  and  when  war  broke  out  between  the 
mother  countries  the  Dutch  moved  to  New 
York. 

On  January  14th,  1639,  about  two  hundred 
men  of  the  Connecticut  colony,  which  then 
consisted  of  the  inhabitants  of  Hartford,  Wind- 
sor and  Wethersfield,  came  together  in  the 
Hartford  meeting-house,  which  was  on  or  near 
the  site  of  the  present  City  Hall.  The  result 
of  this  meeting  was  a  written  constitution — the 
Fundamental  Orders — the  provisions  of  which 
were  at  a  later  date  embodied  in  the  famous 
charter  and  which  remained  in  force  until  1818. 

"From  this  seed,"  says  the  historian  Ban- 
croft, "sprang  the  constitution  of  Connecticut, 
first  in  the  series  of  written  American  consti- 
tutions, framed  by  the  people,  for  the  people. 
Nearly  two  centuries  have  elapsed,  but  the 
people  of  Connecticut   have   found  no  reason 


to  deviate  from  the  government  established  by 
their  fathers." 

It  was  an  important  event,  not  alone  in  the 
history  of  this  commonwealth  or,  indeed,  of 
the  nation,  but  of  the  whole  civilized  world. 
It  was  the  birth  of  a  mighty  principle—  that  of 
"government  of  the  people,  by  the  people,  for 
the  people." 

These  pioneers  who  framed  the  Connecticut 
constitution  were  a  sturdy  folk,  and  their  lead- 
er, Thomas  Hooker,  was  a  remarkable  man, 
— a  man  whose  qualities  and  worth  were  rec- 
ognized by  statesmen  in  England  as  well  as 
by  the  handful  of  Colonists  in  the  new  world. 
He  was  born  probably  in  1586  at  Marfield, 
a  hamlet  in  Leicestershire.  Because  of  his 
opinions  he  was  forced  to  flee  to  Holland  in 
1630,  whence  he  returned  to  England  in  1633 


to  take  passage  to  America,  reaching  Boston 
September  4th,  of  that  year.  On  the  same 
vessel  arrived  Rev.  Samuel  Stone  and  John 
Haynes. 

Haynes  was  a  gentleman  and  of  much  in- 
fluence in  his  new  surroundings.  He  was  cho- 
sen governor  of  Massachusetts  in  1635  and  of 
Connecticut  every  alternate  year  from  1639 
until  his  death  in  1654.  All  three  are  buried 
in  the  old  Hartford  graveyard,  and  their  mon- 
uments may  be  seen  in  the  enclosure  near  the 
rear  of  the  First  (Center)  Church. 

Thomas  Hooker  was  a  genuine  democrat 
with  opinions  far  in  advance  of  even  the  pro- 
gressive men  with  whom  he  was  associated. 
He  declared  that  "in  matters  of  greater  con- 
sequence, which  concern  the  common  good, 
a  General  Council  chosen  by  all,  I  conceive, 
under  favor,  most  suitable  to  rule  and  most 
safe  for  relief  of  the  whole." 

"The  foundation  of  authority,"  to  quote 
from  a  sermon  delivered  by  him  in  1638,  "is 
laid,  firstly,  in  the  free  consent  of  the  people. 
The  choice  of  public  magistrates  belongs  unto 
the  people,  by  God's  own  allowance.  They 
who  have  power  to  appoint  officers  and  ma- 
gistrates, it  is  in  their  power,  also,  to  set  the 
bounds  and  limitations  of  the  power  and  place 
unto  which  they  call  them.  The  lesson  taught 
is — to  persuade  us,  as  God  hath  given  us  lib- 
erty, to  take  it." 


The  conditions  in  those  early  days  were 
primitive.  As  early  as  1641  Hartford  had  a 
bell-ringer  and  town-crier,  who  rang  his  bell 
in  the  streets  every  morning  an  hour  before 
day-break.  Some  one  must  be  up  in  every 
house  fifteen  minutes  after  this  signal  in  order 
to  make  a  light.  The  meeting  house  bell  was 
rung  at  noon  and  at  9  P.  M.,  the  latter  as  a 
signal  to  prepare  for  rest.  There  was  a  week- 
ly market  and  a  Fair  in  May  and  September, 
these  being  Festival  days. 

"A  common  dress  of  women,"  we  are  told, 
"was  a  blue  and  white  linen  waist,  with  short 
sleeves;  joined  to  a  skirt  of  serge,  and  a  white 
apron.  The  good  wife  went  abroad  for  visit- 
ing or  to  meeting  attired  in  a  short  gown  of 
'sad  stuff',  laced  in  front,  with  a  white  kerchief 
about  her  neck  and  bosom,  with  mitts  cover- 
ing the  forearm  and 
bits  of  ribbon  here  and 
there.  Wealthier  la- 
dies of  quality  appeared, 
on  good  occasion,  in 
flowing  brocadesorwith 
gowns  of  cashmere  and 
silk,  with  embroidered 
stomachers,  silk  scaifs 
and  fine  laces.  Clothing 
of  leather  was  much 
worn  by  laborers  and 
servants.  Coarse,  firm, 
homespun  cloth  of  linen 
and  wool  served  for 
better  garments.  The 
magistrate,  the  deputy, 
and  such  as  were  distin- 
guished by  comparative 
rank  or  wealth,  had 
richer  and  gayer  cloth- 
ing." 

The  good  people  of 
the  Colony  were  a  so- 
ber-minded folk,  and 
life  was  a  serious  mat- 
ter. They  married  early;  the  records  speak  of 
one  "antient  maid"  who  had  reached  the  age 
of  twenty-five. 

In  addition  to  a  highly  developed  con- 
science, they  were  troubled  with  many  super- 
stitions, as  were  most  people  of  that  age. 
"Comets  created  alarm.  Eclipses  were  regarded 
as  portentous.  Houses  were  invaded  and  dis- 
turbed by  Satan's  imps.  Diabolical  enchant- 
ments and  Indian  sorceries  were  apprehended. 
Lights  in  the  burying  ground  and  on  the  marsh- 
es were  frightful.  Spinning  wheels,  sleds  and 
weather  vanes  were  bewitched,     etc.  etc. 

Dancing,  cards,  bowls,  shuffleboards  and 
play  acting  were  prohibited.  Musical  instru- 
ments other  than  fife,  trumpet  and  jewsharp 
were  not  sanctioned. 

But  there  was  a  bright  side,  too.  There 
were  house  raisings,  corn  huskings,  quilting 
parties,  apple-bees,  sheep  shearings,  maple 
sugar  makings,  picnics,  sleigh-rides  and  hila- 
rious assemblies  at  weddings  and  parties.  Ath- 
lethic  sports  were  popular,  and  there  were 
election  days,  thanksgiving  days,  training  days, 
and  the  "nigger  election,"  when  a  negro  was 
chosen  to  hold  sway  over  his  colored  brethren, 
to  look  forward  to. 

The  life,  however,  was  that  of  the  pioneer. 
To  the  fact  that  its  duties  were  discharged 
aright,  our  country  today  owes  a  debt  of  grat- 
itude larger  than  possibly  we  realize.

official  records  and  on  that  copy  of  the  char- 
ter itself.  And  as  some  of  these  early  copies 
bear  internal  evidence  of  having  been  written 
soon  after  the  charter  was  granted  it  follows 
that  the  charter  first  sealed  must  have  been 
the  one  sent  over  by  Winthrop  in  1 662  and 
"preserved"  by  Wadsworth  in  1687.  This 
copy  seems  to  have  remained  in  possession  of 
the  Wyllys  family  for  many  years;  perhaps  from 
1715  when  Wadsworth  received  the  grant  for 
"safely  keeping"  it,  and  when  he  probably 
surrendered  it  to  the  colonial  authorities,  until 
it  was  a  second  time  rescued  and  preserved 
about  1817. 

At  that  time  a  young  man  named  John 
Boyd  was  boarding  in  the  family  of  Rev. 
Abel  Flint,  of  Hartford.  Coming  in  one 
day  he  noted  some  old  parchment  on  the 
stand  of  Mrs.  Bissel,  Dr.  Flint's  mother-in- 
law,  from  which  (so  says  tradition)  she  had 
been  cutting  pieces  to  line  a  bonnet.  Mrs. 
Bissel  told  him  that  the  parchment  had  been 
given  her  by  Mrs.  Wyllys.  He  asked  for  and 
received  the  remainder  of  the  parchment, 
which  he  later  discovered  to  be  the  Connecti- 
cut charter.  Mr.  Wyllys,  his  father  and 
grandfather  had  been  secretaries  of  the  Col- 
ony and  state  continuously  from  I  71  2  to  1809. 

What  remains  of  this  charter,  together  with 
the  box  in  which  it  was  brought  from  Eng- 
land, is  now  exhibited  in  the  rooms  of  the 
Connecticut  Historical  Society. 

The  second  charter,  the  one  left  by  Win- 
throp in  England,  is  now  exhibited  in  the 
Connecticut  State  Library.  Except  for  the 
loss  of  the  seal,  it  is  complete  and  perfect. 

The  Historical  Society  also  possesses  some 
fragments  broken  from  the  seal  of  one  of  the 
Connecticut  charters.  They  are  of  a  wax  of  a 
dark  green  color,  this  color  signifying  that  the 
document  to  which  it  was  attached  was  a  grant 
without  limitation  of  time,  but  one  that  might 
be  considered  as  perpetual — and  so,  through 
Wadsworth's  bravery,  it  has  proved  to  be. 

In  the  official  record  made  in  1715,  Wads- 
worth is  spoken  of  as  having  secured  "the 
duplicate  charter."  This  use  of  the  word 
"duplicate"  has  caused  much  confusion  and 
misunderstanding,  because  it  has  usually  been 
assumed  to  have  been  applied  to  a  particular 
one  of  the  two  copies  issued.  Such  assump- 
tion is  incorrect.  The  word  was  used  then 
exactly  as  we  would  today  use  the  word 
"other" — referring  to  the  copy  not  then  at 
hand  or  under  discussion.  And  it  may  be  and  is 
so  used  in  reference  to  both  copies  of  the  charter. 

The  old  oak  in  which  the  charter  was  hid- 
den stood  until  the  night  of  August  2 1  st, 
1856,  when  it  was  struck  by  a  gale  of  wind, 
and  was  broken  off  about  six  feet  from  the 
base.  All  day  long  the  people  of  Hartford 
made  pilgrimages  to  the  hill  where  the  historic 
tree  had  stood,  and  to  the  memory  of  this  in- 
animate guardian  of  the  people's  rights  was 
paid  a  degree  of  honor  equal  to  that  which 
would  have  been  bestowed  upon  a  statesman 
dying  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties.  Two 
flags  were  draped  around  the  stump,  and  at 
noon  the  band  from  the  Colt  Armory  played 
the  "Dead  March  in  Saul,"  "Home,  Sweet 
Home,"  and  "Hail,  Columbia."  At  sun- 
down the  bells  all  over  the  city  were  tolled. 


CHARTER  OAK  PATTERN 

DESIGN  PRODUCED  ON  60TH  ANNIVERSARY  OF 
"1847  ROGERS  BROS." 

It  is  appropiate  that  the  new  pattern  in  the 
"1847  Rogers  Bros."  brand  of  Silver  plated 
ware  should  be  given  the  name,  ''Charter 
Oak."  The  brand  originated  in  Hartford, 
the  home  of  the  famous  tree,  in  1847 — sixty 
years  ago.  The  "Charter  Oak,"  therefore, 
besides  bringing  to  mind  a  remarkable  episode 
in  our  history,  by  association  of  ideas  recalls 
the  fact  that  it  was  in  Hartford  that  the  silver 
plating  industry  and  the  making  of  the  "1847 
Rogers  Bros."  brand  had  their  joint  beginning, 
sixty  years  ago. 

Whether  anniversaries  are  occasions  for  re- 
joicing or  repining  depends  largely  on  how 
one's  time  has  been  spent. 

A  glance  back  over  these  sixty  years  pos- 
sibly may  show  some  mistakes  in  policy  and 
conduct  of  the  business — it  would  be  strange  if 
it  were  not  so — but,  on  the  whole,  it  brings  a 
pretty  decided  feeling  of  satisfaction.  Anniver- 
saries in  this  case  are  occasions  for   rejoicing. 

Increasing  business  from  year  to  year  shows 
that  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  goods  not  only  have 
maintained   their   popularity  but  actually  have 
caused  it  to  increase  in  a  wonderful  degree. 
ATTEMPTS  AT  IMITATION. 

The  electro- silver  plating  industry  and  the 
"1847  Rogers  Bros."  brand  were  born  to- 
gether, when  Rogers  Bros,  in  1 847  perfected 
the  electro-silver  plating  process. 

How  important  this  fact  is  may  be  realized 


Thus  passed  the  historic  tree,  "800  years 
old,  they  say."  Its  trunk  and  branches  were 
made  into  canes  and  many  other  articles  of 
use  and  ornament,  while  a  scion  is  today 
growing  in  Bushnell  Park.  Mark  Twain, 
the  humorist,  avers  that  the  bridge  over  the 
Connecticut  river  at  Hartford  "  is  built  en- 
tirely of  Charter  Oak." 

When  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker  and  his  com- 
panions purchased  the  site  at  Hartford  from  the 
Suckiag  Indians,  the  latter  had  asked  that  this 
old  oak  be  spared,  explaining  that,  in  addition 
to  being  a  landmark,  it  was  a  peace-tree  of 
the  tribe. 

In  complying  with  this  request  of  the  sav- 
age chief,  the  pioneer  preacher  and  his  hardy 
flock  little  dreamed  what  an  important  part 
the  tree  was  to  play  in  the  history  of  the  Col- 
ony then  unfounded  and  the  mighty  nation 
then  undreamed  of. 

Of  the  Connecticut  charter  a  writer  in  the 
North  American  says: 

"  ll  is  remarkable  that,  although  it  was  granted  at  a 
period  of  the  world  when  the  rights  of  the  people  were 
little  understood  and  little  regarded,  and  by  a  sovereign 
who  governed  England  with  a  more  arbitrary  sway 
than  any  of  his  successors,  the  form  of  government  es- 
tablished by  this  charter  was  of  a  more  popular  descrip- 
tion, and  placed  all  power  within  the  more  immediate 
reach  of  all  the  people  than  the  constitution  for  which  it 
has  been  deliberately  exchanged,  in  these  modern  days 
of  popular  jealousy  and  republican  freedom," 

The  facts  included  in  this  sketch  were 
drawn  largely  from  the  chapter  entitled  "Hart- 
ford, the  Keeper  of  Connecticut's  Charter,"  by 
W.  DeLoss  Love,  in  "Hartford  in  History," 
edited  by  Mr.  Willis  L.  Twitchell,  also  of 
Hartford.  This  work  also  furnished  much  of 
the  material  used  in  the  sketch  of  Hartford  on 
pages  4  and  5. 


in  some  degree  when  one  notes  the  attempts 
made  in  recent  years  by  makers  of  new  brands 
of  silver  plated  ware  to  incorporate  a  date — 
however  arbitrary — in  their  trade- marks,  or  to 
refer  in  their  literature  to  the  antiquity  of  their 
brands. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  ten  years  ago  there 
was  not  in  use  a  trade-mark,  outside  of  those 
we  own,  which  is  being  advertised  by  makers 
of  silver  plated  flatware  to-day. 

DID  NOT  EXIST. 

Nor  were  these  makers  merely  slow  in  real- 
izing the  value  of  a  recognized  trade- mark 
and  an  established  reputation,  for  the  truth  is 
that  ten  years  ago  they  were  not  making  silver 
plated  ware  at  all  or,  if  they  were,  it  was  of 
the  kind  that  it  would  have  been  hardly  wise 
to  stamp  with  the  maker's  trade-mark  or  name. 

To-day,  therefore,  they  can  not  actually  lay 
claim  to  long  existence  and  well  established 
reputation  on  silver  plated  ware,  but  by  the 
juggling  of  dates  and  skillfully  inexact  referen- 
ces they  seek  to  impress  the  trade  and  public 
with  the  fact  that  their  goods  are  the  result  of 
years  of  experience. 

METHODS  COPIED. 

Another  source  of  satisfaction  is  the  knowl- 
edge that  the  selling  and  advertising  policy 
inaugurated  by  us  has  been  successful.  Even 
had  we  no  other  substantial  proof  of  this,  it 
would  be  indicated  fairly  well  by  the  faith- 
fulness with  which  our  methods  and  suggestions 
are  imitated  and  by  the  smug  complacency 
with  which  attention  is  called  to  them  by  those 
who  have  adopted  them. 

But  years  before  many  of  the  concerns  now 
making  these  claims  were  even  in  existence, 
"  1 847  Rogers  Bros."  ware  was  being  syste- 
matically advertised.  A  short  time  ago  Leslie's 
Weekly,  referring  to  old-time  national  adver- 
tisers still  in  business,  mentioned  the  Meriden 
Britannia  Company,  the  makers  of  "1847 
Rogers  Bros."  ware,  as  a  concern  whose  an- 
nouncements were  often  seen  shortly  after  the 
war,  and  for  a  fact  during  the  last  twenty- five 
years,  the  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  ware  has  been 
advertised  extensively  and  persistently. 

WHY  IMITATIONS  ARE  INEFFECTIVE. 

Our  "follow-up"  system  and  our  policy  of 
co-operation  with  and  aid  to  the  retailer  also 
have  been  imitated  to  a  greater  or  less  extent, 
although  never  withthe thoroughness  and  whole- 
heartedness  that  make  them  effective  (and 
which  are  impossible  of  realization  except  when 
backed  by  abundant  resources) — the  result  in 
the  case  of  the  makers  of  "1847  Rogers  Bros." 
ware  of  long  years  of  successful  energy. 

WHAT  IT  MEANS  TO  THE  DEALER. 

Of  itself  the  fact  that  "1847  Rogers  Bros." 
is  the  original  brand  may  not  be  of  great  in- 
terest to  the  dealer.  Neither  may  he  care  par- 
ticularly whether  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  goods 
and  methods  are  imitated  by  other  makers. 
But  the  fact  that  these  things  spell  success  for 
"1847  Rogers  Bros,  is  of  vital  importance 
to  him. 

Aside  from  the  actual  value  of  the  ware,  it 
is  the  buying  public's  thorough  acquaintance 
with  the  goods  and  complete  trust  in  the  trade- 
mark that  make  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  silver 
plate — as  a  dealer  once  expressed  it — "As 
Staple  as  Wheat." 

Years  of  use  have  conclusively  proved  these 
goods  to  be  "Silver  Plate  that  Wears." 


The  Charter  Oak  pattern,  as  will  be  seen  by  the  illustration,  possesses 
an  unusual  degree  of  character.  The  oak  leaf  and  acorn  are  combined  in  a 
graceful  design  that  lends  itself  readily  to  the  somewhat  unusual  finish — a 
combination  of  Bright  and  French  Grey.  Even  thus  early  it  is  evident  that 
the  Charter  Oak  is  to  be  one  of  the  most  popular  patterns.  We  make  a  full 
line.      We  should  advise  that  orders  be  placed  early  in  order  to  avoid  delay.

SILVER  COINS 

WOULD    BE   WORTH 
SEVEN  CENTS  EACH. 

Mr.  Edwatd  Hinck- 
ley, of  Baltimore,  pub- 
lishes a  communication 
demonstrating  the  great 
convenience  that  would 
result  from  the  issuing 
of  silver  coins  of  the 
value  of  seven  cents 
each.  This  project  is 
very  ingenious  for  any 
one  who  may  make  a 
calculation  and  find 
that  such  coin  could 
entirely  supersede  the 
use  of  coppers,  prov;de 
the  payer  and  payee 
has  a  sufficient  quanti-

LIBRARIES 

ARE  236  IN  THE  UNI- 
TED STATES. 

According  to  a  table 
compiled  from  the  re- 
sources of  a  literary 
gentleman  inNew  York, 
there  are  in  the  United 
States  no  less  than  236 
public  libraries. 

The  aggregate  num- 
ber of  volumes  is  set 
down  at  2,354,360. 
It  appears  that  the  state 
of  New  York  has  54 
libraries,  with  1  74.000 
volumes;  Pennsylvania, 
32  libraries,  with  I  76,- 
100  volumes:  Massa- 
chusetts 30  libraries, 
with  203,000  volumes; 
Ohio  23  libraries,  with 
68,000  volumes;  Mary- 
land 1  I  libraries,  with 
54,200  volumes;  the 
District  of  Columbia  9 
libraries,  with  65,000 
volumes,  and  the  other 
States  smaller  numbers. 
Rhode  Island,  in  pro- 
portion to  her  popula- 
tion, has  the  largest 
number  of  volumes  cf 
any  state  in  the  Union. 

A  FANNING 

CHAIR  Mr.  Chas. 
Horst  of  New  Orleans 
has  invented,  ar.aisnow 
offering  for  sale  a  chair 
which  is  higl.ly  spoken 
of  as  a  luxury  for  warm 
climates.  The  improve- 
ment (patented  August 
/th,  1847)  consists  of  a 
simple  contrivance  at- 
tached to  a  common 
recking  chair,  which 
with  the  usual  motion 
of  rocking,  is  made  to 
move  a  large  fan  that 
throws  a  current  of  air 
d.rectly  upon  the  head 
and  face.  The  luxury 
of  it  can  be  tested  in  a 
moment  by  taking  a  seat 
in  it  foraminuteortwo.

GROWTH -A  COMPARISON 


METAMORPHOSIS  OF  MADISON  SQUARE,  NEW  YORK,  LIKE  PROGRESS  MADE 

IN  "J 847  ROGERS  BROS/'  BUSINESS. 


MADISON  COTTAGE.-This^  beau- 
tiful place  of  resort,  opposite  Madison  Square, 
corner  of  Twenty-third  street  and  Broadway, 
is  open  for  the  season,  and  Palmer's  omni- 
buses drive  to  the  door.  It  is  one  of  the  most 
agreeable  spots  for  an  afternoon's  lounge  in 
the  suburbs  of  our  city.  Go  and  see. — New 
York  Herald,  May  9th,  1847. 

"On  Fifth  avenue  between  Twenty-third 
and  Twenty-fourth  streets,  fac- 
ing Madison  Square,  a  tract  of 
land  a  little  over  an  acre  in  area 
has  just  been  sold  for  $7,250,- 
000.  The  old  Fifth  Avenue 
Hotel,  which  occupies  this  plot 
of  ground,  is  to  be  torn  down 
and  a  colossal  office  building  is 
to  take  its  place." 

Perhaps  no  better  contrast  be- 
tween the  New  York  of  1847 
and  1907  is  possible.  The  Mad- 
ison Cottage  announcement  was 
printed  in  1847;  the  reference 
to  the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel  ap- 
peared in  the  New  York  World 
a  short  time  ago. 

The  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel  to-day  occupies 
the  site  of  the  Madison  Cottage,  which  sixty 
years  ago  was  a  road-house  in  the  suburbs 
of  the  city. 

The  hotel  is  to  be  torn  down,  so  it  is  clear 
that,  as  the  World  goes  on  to  point  out,  the 
$7,250,000  paid  for  the  property  was  paid 
for  the  land  alone. 

The  difference  between  its  value  at  present 
and  sixty  years  ago  is  practically  the  differ- 
ence between  $7,250,000  and  $2,000,  accord- 
ing to  the  World. 

The  present  day  New  Yorker  may  smile 
when  he  reads  that  a  lady  who,  half  a  cen- 
tury ago,  devoted  a  day 
to  visiting  Madison 
Square,  "was  so  fa- 
tigued by  the  jaunt  that 
she  was  sick  for  a  week 
in  consequence.  ' 

The  smaller  of  the 
illustrations  on  this  page 
shows  the  MadisonCot- 
tage  in  1847.  The  low- 
er cut  is  from  a  photo- 
graph of  the  Fifth  Ave- 
nue Hotel  taken  spec- 
ially for  this  issue  of  The 
Standard.  The  contrast 
of  course  will  be  all  the 
greater  when  the  pres- 
ent structure  has  been 
replaced  by  the  pro- 
posed gigantic  office 
building. 

But  the  metamor- 
phosis of  Madison 
Square  is  hardly  more 
noteworthy  than  the 
growth   since    1847   of 


the  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  silver  plate  business. 
Starting  practically  at  zero,  sales  have  reached 
a  point  where  it  is  hardly  possible  to  realize 
how  humble  was  the  beginning  of  it  all. 

Indeed,  it  is  a  conservative  comparison — 
that  between  the  growth  of  Madison  Square 
and  the  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  business. 

Nor  has  the  latter   reached   the  limit  either 


of  growth  or  power  of  growth.  When  it  is 
stated  that  the  output  of  "  1847  Rogers  Bros." 
ware  by  the  end  of  this  year  will,  it  is  ex- 
pected, show  an  increase  of  nearly,  if  not 
quite,  200  per  cent,  over  that  of  ten  years 
ago  (an  increase  of  about  1 5  per  cent,  over 
last  year's  phenomenal  output),  we  begin  to 
realize  that  the  business  must  have  an  extra- 
ordinary degree  of  vitality. 

The  chief  reason  for  this  growth  has  been 
the  quality  of  the  goods — "Silver  Plate  that 
Wears." 

Another  reason  has  been  the  fact  that  we 
have  been  on  the  alert   not  only  for  our  own 


advancement    but    for    that    of    every    dealer 
handling  "1847  Rogers  Bros."  ware. 

It  has  been  most  emphatically  to  our  ad- 
vantage to  help  the  dealer  whenever,  wher- 
ever and  however  possible. 

We  grow  because  the  retailer  grows.  What 
works  to  his  betterment  works  to  ours,  too. 
"1847  Rogers  Bros."  prosperity  is  planted 
in  that  rich  soil,  Quality,  but — 
and  this  is  important  to  the  dealer 
— it  is  watered  by  Co-operation. 
And  co-operation  means  pros- 
perity for  both  dealer  and  manu- 
facturer. 

Let  us  demonstrate  our  belief 
in  co-operation. 

Send  for  our  new  catalogue 
"81  -T" — also  circular  illustrating 
free  electrotypes  for  newspaper 
advertisements,  signs,  cards,  and 
circulars  with  your  name  and 
address  printed  thereon.  We 
have  prepared  a  little  illustrated 
circular  touching  on  these  various 
ways  in  which  we  co-operate 
dealer.  We  shall  be  glad  to  send  it 
to  any  one  interested  enough  to  write  for  it. 

This  is  the  age  of  the  trade- mark.  We 
used  to  buy  crackers  by  the  pound,  now  we 
buy  them  by  the  box.  More  and  more  the 
goods  with  a  name  are  coming  to  the  front. 
This  state  of  affairs  is  due  to  a  number  of 
reasons.  One  is  that  people  are  more  par- 
ticular than  once  they  were,  as  to  what  they 
put  on  their  backs  or  in  their  mouths  or  have 
about  them.  Realizing  this,  producers  guaran- 
tee the  quality  of  their  goods  and  stamp  them 
with  their  trade-marks.  But  a  trade-mark 
does  not  take  the  place 
of  quality  in  the  goods 
themselves.  Indeed,  in 
time,  it  stamps  the  poor 
goods  as  poor,  just  as, 
when  the  goods  do  pos- 
sess quality,  it  stamps 
them  as  good.  A  brand 
of  goods  that  has  been

The  latest  pattern  in  "1847  Rogers  Bros.",  the  Charter  Oak,  is  here  suggested,  to- 
gether with  two  other  recent  patterns,  the  Priscilla  and  the  Vintage.  The  Priscilla  is 
burnished,  the  Vintage  is  in  French  Gray,  while  the  Charter  Oak  combines  the  two  finishes, 
the  shield  on  the  handle  and  the  bowls  and  tines  being  bright,  the  remainder  gray.

WHAT  DO  YOU  THINK? 

In  glancing  over  the  pages  of  The  Standard 
did  it  ever  occur  to  you  to  wonder  what 
changes  a  page  headed  "1907 — Then  and 
Now — 1967"  might  reveal?  Sixty  years  from 
now  will  they  be  contrasting  our 
present  skyscrapers  with  cloud- 
capped  steel  mountains  and  smiling 
at  what  we  are  pleased  to  term 
"progress,"  and  "gigantic  enter- 
prises"? 

The  changes,  whatever  they  may 
be,  probably  will  be  in  conditions 
rather  than  in  characteristics.  We 
talk  about  the  "strenuous  life"  as 
if  it  were  a  thing  of  today.  But 
were  conditions  essentially  different 
half  a  century  and  more  ago?  The 
article  on  our  first  page  headed 
"AmericansTooAnxious"  would 
indicate  otherwise.  Indeed,  when 
we  stop  to  think  about  it,  it  appears 
to  us  that  the  American  of  1907 
in  many  ways  is  less  strenuous 
than  was  his  grandfather.  We 
have  golf  and  automobiles  and 
though  we  may  pursue  our  pleas- 
ures at  almost  as  fast  a  clip  as  we 
do  our  business,  at  least  we  do  de- 
vote a  good  deal  of  time  to  re- 
creation. Did  the  good  people  of 
1847  take  their  noses  away  from 
the  grindstone  so  often  or  for  so  long  at  a 
time? 

What  say  you  whose  minds  go  back  to  th.it 
period?  Let  us  hear  from  you  We  have 
received  from  time  to  time  a  number  of  very 
pleasant  letters  from  Standard  readers  whose 
memories  of  people  or  conditions  have  been 
aroused  by  various  articles  in  these  columns. 
We  should  like  to  hear  again.  We  like  to 
know  what  our  friends  think  of  us;  we  like  to 
receive  criticism, — or,  at  least,  we  believe  we 
should  like  it — we  welcome  suggestions.  In 
this  number  we  are  acting  on  a  very  kindly 
sugge:tion  contained  in  a  letter  from  Mr.  W. 
P.  McFarland,  of  Orange,  Texas. 

Now,  regarding  this  question  of  the  com- 
parative strenuousness  of  1847  and  1907.  If 
you  have  an  idea  on  the  subject — and  a  good 
many  must  have — write  to  us.  The  discussion 
should  make  mighty  interesting  reading  and 
may  develop  some  really  valuable  pointers  as 
to  conditions  in  the  daily  life  of  each  one  of  us. 

We  have  devoted  a  good  deal  of  space  in 
this  issue  to  the  newspapers  of  1847.  If  any 
one  is  inclined  to  believe  that  too  much  at- 
tention has  been  paid  to  one  subject,  we  have 
only  this  defence  to  put  up,  that  a  knowledge 
of  the  press  of  any  country  or  period  helps 


The  holiday  season  is  approaching.  In  our 
extensive  general  advertising — an  example  of 
which  we  reproduce  on  pa^es  6  and  7 — we 
urge  early  buying.  The  dealer  should  be 
prepared.  Send  for  our  new  Catalogue, 
"81-T,"  showing  the  "Charter  Oak"  and 
"Priscilla"  as  well  as  the  older  patterns. 

We  have  all  heard  of  and  some  of  us  no 
doubt  have  seen  the  famous  Siamese  Twins, 
but  it  is  safe  to  say  that  to  most  of  us  of  the 
present  generation  the  double-family  portrait 
on  page  8  will  be  new. 


NEW  ORLEANS  HORSE  CAR. 

The  New  Orleans  horse  car  on  this  page 
was  described  as  follows  in  Gleason's  Pic- 
torial : 

"The  accompanying  engraving  is  from  a 
drawing  made  for  us  at  New  Orleans,  by 
Mr.  Bellew,  and  represents  the  horse  car  in 
use  upon  the  city  railroad.  It  is  unlike  any 
employed  at  the  north,  and  will  doubtless 
prove  interesting  to  our  readers,  now  that  the 
introduction  of  horse  railroads  here  is  a  settled 
thing.  It  will  be  seen  that  it  is  intended  for 
accommodation  of  both  outside  and  inside 
passengers;  the  entrance  of  the  latter  being  at 
the  extremities,  as  in  the  New  York  horse  and 
common  steam  car;  while  the  upper  deck 
passengers,  as  they  may  be  termed,  mount  to 
their  lofty  station  by  a  flight  of  steps,  accessi- 
ble from  two  sides.  It  is  evident  that  with 
no  greater  area  than  that  of  a  common  car,  a 
much  larger  number  of  passengers  can  be  ac- 
commodated and  in  fine  weather  the  roof 
seats  must  be  quite  pleasant." 

Except  for  the  motive  power,  this  strange 
looking  double-decker  is  not  unlike  the  auto- 
mobile stages  introduced  within  the  past  few 
months  on  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  City. 
Perhaps  sixty  years  hence  the  latter  will  be 
viewed  as  curiosities.     Who  knows  ? 


NEW  ORLEANS 

CRESCENT  CITY  IN  THE  YEAR 
1847  WAS  GREAT  COM- 
MERCIAL CENTER. 

"Somebody  has  called  New  Orleans  'the 
boarding  house  of  the  United  States."  Certes, 
its  every  tenth  house  has  furnished  rooms  or 
appliances  for  travelling  appetites."  So  wrote 
the  author  of  an  interesting  little  book,  "The 
Manhattaner  in  New  Orleans"  in  the  year 
1847. 

The  Crescent  City,  sixty  years  ago,  boasted 
1 30,000  inhabitants  and  its  position  in  the 
commercial  world  was  unique.  At 
the  time  of  the  purchase  of  Louis- 
iana from  France  in  1803  the 
population  was  hardly  more  than 
8,000.  But  in  1804  New  Orleans 
was  made  a  port  of  entry  and  de- 
livery and  the  following  year  it  re- 
ceived a  city  charter.  On  January 
10th,  1812,  the  first  steamboat 
arrived  from  Pittsburg,  having  de- 
scended in  259  hours. 

The  growth  of  the  city  from 
that  time  was  both  substantial  and 
rapid. 

"The  position  of  New  Orleans 
as  a  vast  commercial  emporium," 
said  Hunt's  Merchants'  Magazine, 
"is  unrivalled,  as  will  be  seen  by  a 
single  glance  at  the  map  of  the 
United  States.  As  the  depot  of 
the  West,  and  the  half-way  house 
of  the  foreign  trade,  it  is  almost 
impossible  to  anticipate  its  future 
magnitude." 

"Fine commercial  advantages!" 
to  quote  the  Manhattaner  again, 
"so  everybody  thinks.  And 
everybody  in  that  opinion  is  right.  The 
strongest  backward  endeavor  of  black  destiny 
could  not  retard  the  prosperity  of  New  Orleans. 
Nature  had  her  eye  on  the  outlet  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi long  before  she  invited  her  sister  Art 
to  form  a  copartnership  in  the  way  of  com- 
pleting a  grand  commercial  emporium.  The 
waters  of  a  score  of  mighty  rivers  mingle  with 
the  waves  that  dash  the  Levee  and  float  down 
treasures  of  produce  and  wealth  increasing 
every  year.  New  Orleans  is  the  market  for 
the  product  of  three  climates. 

"New  Orleans  is  decidedly  entitled  to  be 
called  the  Calcutta  of  America.  Thwarted 
enterprise,  baffled  endeavor,  youthful  hope, 
desperate  plannings,  all  emigrate  to  its  pre- 
cincts to  battle  with  fate,  or  to  court  fortune; 
to  amass  wealth,  and  if  living  after  the  'gold 
hunt  is  over,'  to  return  home  to  spend  it. 

"'Work,  work,  work,'  is  the  unceasing  cry. 
A  man  of  leisure  is  a  wonder.  On  'change; 
on  street  corner;  at  the  dinner-table;  between 
the  acts  at  opera  and  theatre ;  in  the  draw- 
ing-room ;  at  the  ball  or  soiree;  in  the  sleep- 
ing apartments;  stocks,  cotton,  sugar  and 
money  are  the  liveliest  topics." 

Religion,  or  the  Manhattaner's  idea  of  re- 
ligion, he  declares  to  be  "rather  at  a  discount," 
but  perhaps  we  may  take  that  statement  with 


1847— THEN- 


TIIK  SILVEE  STANDARD 


now— 11107 


the  proverbial  grain  of  salt,  for  he  immediately 
goes  on  to  pay  the  following  tribute  to  the 
"public  morality"  of  the  city  which  he  found 
to  be  "more  pure  in  its  character  than  in  any 
other  American  city": 

"If  Boston,  or  Philadelphia,  could  show 
upon  their  police  books  the  small  number  of 
crimes  committed  and  complaints  presented, 
which  appear  in  the  statistics  of  the  Crescent 
City  municipalities,  they  would  be  very  para- 
dises. Burglars  and  pickpockets,  when  pa- 
raded before  His  Honor  of  the  Criminal 
Court,  are  looked  upon  as  for  a  show  by  the 
gaping  crowds.  The  genus  loafer  is  almost 
unknown  in  the  natural  history  of  New  Or- 
leans; and  cigar  smoking  juvenile-pittites,  fire- 
rowdies.and  brave 
insulters  of  wom- 
en, are  only  heard 
of  now  and  then. 

Certainly  a  note- 
worthy condition 
of  affairs;  not  due 
to  the  homogen- 
eous character  of 
thepopulation.for 
"if  there  is  ever 
to  be  a  Congress 
of  nations,  let  it 
be  held  in  New 
Orleans;  there  will 
be  no  mileage  for 
delegates.  '  The 
"foreign  popula- 
tion'question  was 
only  beginning  to 
assume  import- 
ance in  most  sec- 
tions of  our  coun- 
try in  1847,  but 
New  Orleans  was 
the  exception  for  it  was  at  that  time  made 
up  in  nearly  equal  proportions  of  Americans, 
French,  Creoles  and  Spaniards,  together  with 
a  large  portion  of  Germans  and  a  good 
sprinkling  from  almost  every  other  nation  upon 
the  globe. 

"During  1844,  there  were  more  buildings 
erected  than  any  previous  year — notwithstand- 
ing which  tenements  are  in  great  demand  and 
rents  continue  high.  It  will  not  be  a  matter 
of  surprise,  if  the  number  of  inhabitants  at  the 
next  census,  1850,  should  be  over   160,000." 

The  census  of  1840  showed  New  Orleans 
to  be  the  fourth  city  in  the  Union,  its  popu- 
lation being  exceeded  only  by  New  York, 
Philadelphia,  and  Baltimore.  In  1847,  '48, 
and  '49  yellow  fever  reduced  the  number  of 
inhabitants,    eight     per    cent    of    the    people 


dying    before    the    epidemic    finally     abated. 

"During  the  business  season,  which  con- 
tinues from  the  first  of  November  to  July,  the 
levee,  for  an  extent  of  five  miles,  is  crowded 
with  vessels  of  all  sizes,  but  more  especially 
ships,  from  every  part  of  the  world  —  with 
hundreds  of  immense  floating  castles  and  pal- 
aces, called  steamboats,  and  barges  and  flat 
boats  innumerable. 

"The  levee  and  piers  that  range  along  the 
whole  length  of  the  city,  extending  back  on  an 
average  of  some  two  hundred  feet,  are  con- 
tinually covered  with  moving  merchandise. 
This  was  once  a  pleasant  promenade,  where 
the  citizen  enjoyed  his  delightful  morning  and 
evening  walk;   but  now  there  is  scarcely  room, 


amd  hogsheads,  bales,  and  boxes,  for  the 
business  man  to  crowd  along,  without  a  sharp 
look  out  for  his  personal  safety. 

"The  houses  are  chiefly  constructed  with 
bricks,  except  a  few  ancient  and  dilapidated 
dwellings  in  the  heart  of  the  city,  and  some 
new  ones  in  the  outskirts.  Wooden  buildings 
are  not  permitted  to  be  built,  under  present 
regulations,  within  what  are  denominated  the 
fire  limits.  The  modern  structures  particularly 
in  the  second  municipality,  are  generally  three 
or  four  stories  high,  and  are  embellished  with 
handsome  and  substantial  granite  or  marble 
fronts.  The  public  buildings  are  numerous, 
and  many  of  them  will  vie  with  any  of  the 
kind  in  our  cities. 

"The  view  of  New  Orleans  from  the  river, 
in    ascending   or  descending   is   beautiful   and 


imposing — seen  from  the  dome  of  the  St. 
Charles  Exchange,  it  presents  a  panorama  at 
once  magnificent  and  surprising.  In  taking  a 
lounge  through  the  lower  part  of  the  city,  the 
stranger  finds  a  difficulty  in  believing  himself 
to  be  in  an  Ameiican  city.  The  older  build- 
ings are  of  ancient  and  foreign  construction, 
and  the  manners,  customs  and  language  are 
various. 

"The  Water- works  constantly  supply  the 
people  with  water  forced  from  the  Mississippi, 
by  the  agency  of  steam,  into  a  reservoir,  whence 
by  pipes  it  is  sent  all  over  the  city.  This  water 
is  wholesome  and  palatable. 

"Gas  was  introduced  in  New  Orleans, 
through  the  enterprise  of  James  H.  Caldwell, 
Esq.,  in  1834, 
he  having  lighted 
his  theatre  with  it 
several  years  pre- 
vious. The  dense 
part  of  the  city 
is  now  lighted  by 
it;  and  the  hotels, 
stores,  shops,  and 
many  dwelling- 
houses  within 
reach  have  availed 
themselves  of  the 
advantages  it  of- 
fers. 

"In  the  sum- 
mer of  1844,  afire 
destroyed  about 
seven  blocks  of 
buildings  between 
Common  and  Ca- 
nal streets,  near 
the  Charity  Hos- 
pital. The  ground 
has  since  been  oc 
cupied  with  much  better  buildings,  and  presents 
a  very  improved  appearance." 

Exports  of  cotton  from  New  Orleans  in 
1846-7,  amounted  to  724,508  bales. 

According  to  the  census  of  1840,  there  were 
eight  commercial  and  375  commission  houses 
in  foreign  trade,  with  a  capital  of  $  16,490,000; 
1,881  retail  stores,  with  a  capital  of  $1  1,018,- 
225.  The  total  capital  employed  in  manu- 
factures was  $1,774,200.  There  were  two 
colleges,  with  105  students;  ten  academies, 
with  440  students;  twenty- five  schools,  with 
975  scholars. 

The  view  of  old  New  Orleans  presented 
on  this  page  gives  an  idea  of  the  importance 
of  the  city  as  a  commercial  center.  The 
modern  view  gives  a  glimpse  of  the  great  city 
of  today.

SIAMESE  TWINS 

REMARKABLE   PAIR 
AND  FAMILIES. 

On  the  page  here- 
with we  give  a  large 
and  finely  executed  pic- 
ture of  Chang  and  Eng, 
the  famous  united  Sia- 
mese twins,  who  were 
born  in  the  city  of 
Meklong,  in  May, 
1811.  They  were 
brought  to  this  country 
by  the  captain  of  the 
ship  Sachem,  arriving  j 
in  August,  1829.  They' 
were  at  once  brought 
before  the  public  for 
exhibition,  and  during 
the  twelve  ensuing 
years  were  visited  by 
millions  of  people,  talc- 
ing in  the  course  of 
their  travels  the  United 
States,  Great  Britain, 
France,  Holland  and 
Belgium. 

They  are  united  to- 
gether by  a  ligature,  or 
band,  about  three  and 
a  half  inches  in  length 
and  eight  in  circumfer- 
ence, formed  at  the  ex- 
tremity of  the  breast 
bone  of  each  and  ex- 
tending downward  to 
the  abdorr.er..  The  up- 
per part  of  the  band  is 
a  strong  cartilaginous 
substance;  the  lower 
part  is  soft  and  fleshy, 
and  contains  a  tube,  or 
cavity,  presumed  to  be 
about  an  inch  and  a 
half  in  circumference. 
The  flexibility  of  thi= 
cartilage  is  so  great  that 
they  can  readily  turn 
those  shoulders  out- 
wards which  are  to- 
gether when  standing 
in  a  natural  position. 
Having  secured  a  com- 
petence by  exhibiting 
themselves,  they  settled 
in  Wilkes  County. 
North  Carolina,  but  af- 
terwards removed  to 
Mt.  Airy, Surry  Coun- 
ty, where  they  now  re- 
side. Soon  after  taking 
up  their  abode  in  thi: 
region,  they  simultane- 
ously became  smitten 
with  the  charms  of  twc 
very  pretty  sisters, 
named  Yates,  and  each 
selecting  his  partner  the 
four  were  made  two 
with  all  due  ceremony. 
This  double  union  ha: 
apparently  proved  high- 
ly satistact  •  ry  to  all  con  - 
cemed.  The  ladies  are  \ 
represented  as  amiable  i 
and  interesting,  while  n 
is  certain  that  the  twin; 
are  devotedly  attached 
to  their  wives.  At  the 
present  time  Mr.  Eng 
has  six  and  Mr.  Chang 
five  children,  all  of 
whom  are  apt  scholars 
and  remarkably  well 
behaved.  They  are  al- 
so of  a  very  prepossess-

ing  appearance,  and  are 
great  favorites  in  the 
community  where  they 
reside. 

The  illustration  will 
give  a  perfect  idea  of 
the  appearance  of  the 
families,  every  likeness 
being  copied  from  da- 
guerreotypes, taken  es- 
pecially for  the  purpose. 

In  closing  these  re- 
marks of  the  twins  and 
their  families,  we  would 
say  ihat  they  seem  to 
be  remarkably  happy, 
enjoy  good  health,  have 
ample  means  to  procure 
not  only  the  comforts 
but  the  luxuries  of  life, 
and  bid  fair,  as  far  as 
human  judgment  may 
go,  to  live  many  more 
years  of  domestic  hap- 
piness and  comfort. 
They  are  both  natural- 
ized citizens  of  our 
country.

STRANGE  AF- 
FAIR —  A  gentleman 
sixty  years  of  age,  of 
Plymouth,  Mass.,  was 
recently  so  affected  by 
the  death  of  his  wife, 
that  he  cut  off  his  nose. 
He  is  now  in  Boston 
for  the  purpose  of  hav- 
ing a  new  one  made  to 
order.  This  is  a  fact, 
and  was  communicated 
to  the  writer  by  an  of- 
ficer of  the  Marine 
corps,  who  knows  all 
about  it. 

The  man  who  cut 
the  first  tree  in  the  wilds 
of  Ohio  is  still  alive. 
His  name  is  Daniel 
Cushwell,  and  he  re- 
sides on  a  small  farm  in 
Oneida  county,  N.  Y., 
and  is  eighty-six  years 
of  age. 

The  Detroit  Free 
Press  has  an  account  of  i 
31  new  flourishing  mills 
in  that  Stale  that  will

these  nine  are  in  Ma- 
comb county. 


FOREIGN  NEWS 

— By  the  late  news  by 
the  Hibernia,  it  appears 
that  failures  in  England 
to  the  amount  of  $  1 00,- 
000,000  have  already- 
carried  dismay  to  the 
hearts  of  all  corn  ex- 
porters in  America. 
The  failures  have  swept 
down  some  of  the  old- 
est corn  dealing  firms 
in  Britain. 

Two  of  the  largest 
literary  institutions  in 
London  have  been 
broken  up  and  their  ex- 
tensive libraries,  muse- 
ums and  collections  of 
philosophical  apparatus 
are  to  be  sold  at  public 
auction.  We  are  sor- 
ry to  hear  this. 

A  vessel  has  arrived 
in  London  with  a  cargo 
of  bricks  from  the  Tow- 
er of  Babel,  and  with 
other  architectural  curi- 
osities for  the  British 
Museum. 

Roger  Sherman's 
plough  was  exhibited 
at  the  late  Mechanics' 
Fair  at  Boston. 


WEALTH  OF 
HARVARD-The 

bequests  made  to  this 
institution  are  enor- 
mous. In  the  annual 
report  of  the  overseers 
of  that  institution,  we 
notice  no  less  than  nine- 
teen bequests  which  av- 
erage more  than  $20.- 
000  each.  The  avail- 
able funds  of  the  Col- 
lege given  for  specific 
purposes,  the  interest  of 
which  is  only  used,  ex- 
ceed six  hundred  thou- 
sand dollars!  The  Law 
Department  has  funds 
exceeding  $40,000. 
And  the  Theological 
School  more  than  $80,  - 
000 !  This  opulence 
is  the  result  of  individ- 
ual liberality  of  citizens 
in  Massachusetts  . 

FEMALE  LA- 
BOR Not  far  from 
$5,000,000  are  yearly 
earned  in  Massachu- 
setts by  females  em- 
ployed in  the  various 
manufactories  of  straw 
hats,  stocks,  &c.  About 
40,000  are  employed. 


In  a  Boston  paper  we 
find  an  account  of  the 
doings  of  the  meeting  of 
the  naturalists  there, 
which  says  that  it  has 
been  long  known  that 
two  rays  of  light  may 
be  so  thrown  on  each 
other  as  to  produce 
darkness.  Prof.  Henry 
showed  that  two  rays 
of  heat  may  be  so  com- 
bined as  to  produce 
cold. 

RAILROAD  IRON 
-The  Philadelphia 
North  American  says 
that  there  will  be  sixty 
thousand  tons  of  rail- 
road iron  manufactured 
in  this  country  during 
the  present  year,  which 
will  be  equal  in  quality 
to  any  imported  iron. 
The  value  of  this  quan- 
tity at  present  selling 
prices,  will  be  upward 
of  four  millions  of  dol- 
lars. Pennsylvania, 
alone,  furnishes  one-half 
of  the  pig  iron,  and 
more  than  one-half  of 
the  railroad  iron  made 
in  the  United  States. 


I  REMARKED  that  most  of  the  farmers  and 
laborers  had  pale  complexions  and  a  care-worn 
look.  "This  was  owing  partly,"  said  the  landlord, 
"to  the  climate  ....  and  partly  to  the  ambitious, 
striving  character  of  the  natives."

ANNUAL  FAIR 

20TH  OF  AMERICAN 
INSTITUTE. 

The  twentieth  annu- 
al fair  of  the  American 
Institute  held  in  New 
York  has  been  distin- 
guished for  a  gTeat  vari- 
ety of  new,  beautiful 
and  useful  inventions. 
The   manufacturing 

i  department  is  well  rep- 
resented by  some  splen- 
did cotton  and  woolen 
cloths.  The  mechani- 
cal department,  on 
which  all  the  rest  de- 
pend, was  never  sur- 
passed or  equalled  for 
useful  inventions, among 
which  we  notice  Ha- 
viland  and  Tuttle's 
patent  centre  vent  pres- 
sure water  wheel  —  a 
model  and  a  beautiful 
one.  We  also  notice 
the  fire  and  burglar 
a'arm,  the  invention  of 
Thomlinson  and  Hop- 
kins, of  Brookfield,  Ct. 
The  burglar  alarm  is  a 
great  and  most  useful 
invention  and  it  should 
be    put    up   in    every 

]  house.  The  chronom- 
eter of  Mr.  A.  T.  Coch- 
rane, of  288  Green- 
wich street.  New  York, 
with  an  entire  new  es- 
capement constructed 
by  himself  is  a  beautiful 
and  good  invention. 

There  were  a  num- 
ber of  cases  of  jewelry, 

such  as  gold  pens,  &c. 

OCEAN  STEAM- 
ERS-New  York  had 
more  ocean  steamers  in 
port  this  week  than  ever 
before  in  any  American 
harbor  at  any  one  time, 
viz :  The  Union 
(French)  ;  Britannia 
and  Sarah  Sands  (Eng- 
land); Guadalquiver 
(Spanish)  ;  Massachu- 
setts, Northerner, 
Southerner,  United 
States  and  Iris,  the  last 
five  being  Americans. 

With  the  Bremen  line 
steamer  Herman,  to  be 
launched  in  a  few  days, 
there  are  ten  in  all. 
The  United  States  and 
Northerner  are  not  in- 
ferior to  any  of  the  trans- 
atlantic steamers.  The 
U  ni  on  will  sail  for 
Cherbourg,  France,  on 
the  30th  inst.,  and  the 
Britannia  on  the  1st. 
The  Herman  was 
launched  on  Thursday 
and  will  at  once  com- 
mence her  regular  trips 
to  Bremen. 

SINGULAR  AC- 
CIDENT—The  Cin- 
cinnati Signal  learns 
that  on  the  1 7th,  as 
Mr.  Sawyer,  a  young 
gentleman  of  high  re- 
spectability, was  riding 
at  a  very  fast  rale  to  see 
a  female  acquaintance 
at  Dearborn  county, 
Indiana,  he  came  up 
against  the  Telegraph 
wires,  which  cut  his 
throat  producing  almost 
instant  death.  The 
wires  had  been  lowered 
for  the  purpose  of  mak- 
ing certain  repairs  on 
the  line.

THE  YANKEE 
AND  HIS  WAYS 

DESCRIPTION  OF  UNIQUE 
CHARACTER. 

YANKEE  PEDLER  KNOWN  EVERYWHERE 

FOR  HIS  SHREWDNESS  AND  ABILITY 

TO  DRIVE  A  BARGAIN. 

We  present  to  our  ;  soul  engaged  in  the  log- 
readers  herewith  a  cap-  I  ging  business;  a  quarter 
ital  likeness  of  "Yan- ,  of  a  year  hence  you  will 
kee"  Silsbee,  probably  j  hear^of  him  navigating 
one  of  the  cleverest  de 


hneators  of  the  spe- 
cies" extant.  He  has 
won  for  himself  a  high 
reputation  in  London, 
where  he  is  now  per- 
forming. 

Silsbee  is,  of  course, 
himself  a  native-born 
Yankee,  and  off  the 
stage  he  is  as  much  a 

gentleman  in  appear- !  bar   or  in   the  pulpit, 
ance  and  bearing  as  he   Educated  for  the  mini 


the  Ohio.  Let  a  year 
pass,  and  you  may  learn 
of  him  in  Constanti- 
nople. 

Change  appears  to  be 
written  in  the  face  of  a 
Yankee.  He  is  never 
contented.  If  he  is  a 
bootblack  or  a  clamdig- 
ger,  ten  to  one  that 
you  will  find  him  at  the 


appears  green  and  un 
couth  when  presenting 
his  favorite  character 
upon  the  stage.  The 
picture  represents  Mr. 


try,  he  may  be  found 
teaching  at  some  con- 
spicuous corner.  If  his 
father  puts  him  to  a 
hanical  trade,  hi 


Silsbee  in  the  character   will   not   be   contented 


of  the  Yankee  plough 
boy. 

The  best  definition 
of  a  Yankee  we  have 
ever  seen  is  the  one  at- 
tributed to  "an  Eastern 
lecturer,"  who  said  that 
it  would  not  be  a  violent 
stretch  of  the  imagina- 
tion to  believe  that  a 
thoughtful  Massachu- 
setts or  Connecticut 
baby,  six  months  old, 
fits  in  its  mother's  lap, 
eyeing  his  own  cradle, 
to  see  if  he  could  not 
invent  a  better,  or  at 
least  to  suggest  some 
improvement. 

We  would  extend  the 
definition  to  the  whole 


unless  he  sets  up  for  him- 
self in  some  mercantile 
business.  Today  he  is 
one  thing  and  tomorrow 
another.  He  will  dig 
gardens,  saw  wood, 
teachschool,  preach,  or 
even  edit  a  newspaper, 
if  necessary  for  a  sup- 
port; but  he  will  not  be 
idle. 

As  to  that  peculiar 
institution,  the  "Yankee 
Pedler,''  we  have  often 
thought  that  these  itin- 
i  erant  merchants  deserve 
a  place  in  history  as  the 
pioneers  of  civilization; 
for  their  rounds  are  not 
confined  to  New  Eng- 
land alone,  but  extend 
Yankee  nation,  which  wherever  in  the  mighty 
we  understand  is  some-   territory  of  the  starsand 


vhat  extensive  now  in 
the  considerable  patch 
in  the  world  now  known 
as  Uncle  Sam's  corn 
field. 

You  can  always  tell 
a  Yankee  by  the  jack- 
knife  in  his  hand  or  the 
cigar  in  hismouth.  The 
Yankees  are  curious 
characters.  Today  [hey 
are  swapping  horses, 
and  tomorrow  building 
railroads;  this  hour  in 
ihe  gutter,  the  next  seat- 
ed in  a  palace.  Their 
energy  knows  no 
bounds.  This  month 
you  may  find  a  Yank- 


stripes  the  hardy  settle 
has  hewn  a  pathway 
for  his  wagon.  It  is  by 
their  agency  that  the 
rich  products,  the  rare 
improvements,  the 
choice  fancy  articlesand 
fine  arts  of  the  east  are 
introduced  into  the 
backwoods,  before 
commerce  has  pene- 
trated those  distant  re- 
gions, and  warehouses 
have  risen  in  the  re- 
claimed wilderness. 

The  Yankee  pedler 
must  be  a  man  intimate- 
ly acquainted  with 
"human   nature  ";  and 


adapts  itself  to  all  ages, 
both  sexes  and  to  all 
conditions.  He  must  be 
grave  and  respectful 
with  theclergyman,  in- 
telligent and  polite  with 
the  squire,  shrewd  with 
the  lawyer,  jovial  with 
tbe  publican,  frank  and 
insinuating  with  the  far- 
mer, and  full  of  flattery 
and  devotion  to  the 
girls. 

What  a  microcosm  is 
the  interior  of  some  of 
these  pedlers'  carts! 
Thimbles,  history  of  the 
United  States,  maple 
sugar,  fine-tooth  combs, 
soap,  life  of  Gen'l.  Jack- 
son, jackknives,  brace- 
lets, toothpicks,  ear- 
rings, moral  philosophy 
and  glass  cement. 
"Confusion  worse  con- 
founded" here  meet  to- 
gether in  a  heteroge- 
neous mass.  Some  in- 
dividuals devote  them- 
selves to  a  particular  ar- 
ticle; one  man  is  a  faith- 
ful follower  of  Father 
Time,  and  deals  only  in 
clocks.  Much  dreaded 
is  he  by  many  that  fear 
him,  distrust  him,  yet 
patronize  him.  Another 


is  absent  in  the  "field": 
a  present  of  an  ounce 
of  snuff  wins  the  heart 
of  the  "old  lady." 

The  tin  pedler,  who 
barters  his  wares  for  rags 
in  lieu  of  money,  is  a 
man  in  very  bad  repute 
among  housewives:  and 
yet  somehow  or  other 
he  contrives  to  do  a 
thriving  business.  "The 
horrid  tin  pedler, "as  he 
is  called,  rarely  calls  at 
a  house  without  effect- 
ing hisobject;  andmany 
a  lovely  housewife  s 
sideboard  would  look 
grim  and  dismal  were 
it  not  replenished  and 
rendered  glittering  by 
the  visits  of  the  tin  ped- 


We  are  inclined  to 
think  that  pedlers,  as  a 
class,  have  been  unjust- 
ly condemned  by  the 
community.  The  tricks 
of  a  few  individuals 
have  been  charged  on 
the  entire  class,  where- 
as the  truth  probably  is 
that  there  is  no  more 
unfair   dealing  among

ANOTHER  VOLUME. 

The  present  number  of  The  Silver  Standard 
completes  the  third  volume  of  the  publication. 
Barring  conflagration,  earthquake,  pestilence  or 
other  catastrophe,  February  will  see  the  first 
number  of  Vol.  IV.  It  is  probable  that 
the  same  general  policy  that  has  obtained 
during  the  past  three  years  will  be  followed 
in  1908.  We  beg  to  renr.nd  our  readers, 
however,  that  we  shall  continue  to  welcome 
all  suggestions  regarding  the  publication. 


ceased  discounting — whereupon  even  the  mer- 
chants ran  on  the  bank  to  take  out  notes  or 
gold  against  their  deposit  credits.  The  ex- 
chequer intervened,  suspended  the  Bank  Act, 
and  insisted  that  the  Bank  go  on  discounting, 
though  at  8  per  cent,  regardless  of  its  reserve. 
This  announcement  stopped  the  panic,  and 
the  hoarders  instantly  brought  back  their 
notes.  In  reality,  the  suspension  of  the 
Bank  Act  accomplished  nothing  more  than 
the  recourse  to  Clearing  House  certificates 
by  the  New  York  Associated  Banks." 

THE  YANKEE. 
A  few  years  ago  a  newspaper  article  made 
the  statement  that  the  Yankee  dialect  was  a 
thing  of  the  past.  Any  one  who  has  sum- 
mered in  the  rural  districts  of  New  England 
will  smile  at  so  broad  a  statement.  Never- 
theless we  must  admit  that  the  Yankee— the 
uncouth  but  shrewd  fellow  as  he  existed  in 
1 847 — is  comparatively  seldom  met  with  to- 
day. As  will  be  seen  by  the  article  on  our 
first  page,  he  was  once  a  person  to  be  reck- 
oned with.     He  certainly  is  frequently  found 


took  place  from  Old  to  New  England,  we 
find  the  term  "I  guess"  for  "I  think",  or  "I 
suppose",  occurring  frequently;  and  if  we  look 
farther  back,  it  is  met  with  in  the  "Miller's 
Tale"  and  in  the  "Monk"  of  Chaucer: — 

'For  little  heaviness 

Is  right  enough  for  muchel  folk,  I  guess.' 
"And  in  Spenser's  Faerie  Queene' — 
'It  seemed  a  second  Paradise,  I  guesse.' 
"Among  the  most  common  singularities  of 
expressions  are  the  following: — 'I  should  ad- 
mire to  see  him'  for  'I  should  like  to  see  him  ;' 
'I  want  to  know,'  and  'Do  tell,'  both  ex- 
clamations of  surprise,  answering  to  our  'Dear 
me'.  These  last,  however,  are  rarely  heard 
in  society  above  the  middling  class.  Occasion- 
ally I  was  as  much  puzzled  as  if  I  was  read- 
ing Tarn  o'Shanter,  as,  for  example,  'out 
of  kittel'  means  'out  of  order.'  The  word 
'sick'  is  used  in  New  England  in  the  same 
sense  as  it  was  in  the  time  of  Shake- 
speare, or  when  the  liturgy  of  the  Church 
of  England  was  composed.  The  word 
'ill',  which  in  Great  Britain  means  'not 
well',    signifies    in    America    'very    ill'." 


We  have  endeavored  to  make  The  Stand- > 
ard  entertaining,  but  we  have  also  aimed  to 
make  it  of  value  from  an  historical  standpoint,  j 
We  believe  we  have  succeeded  in  transporting 
to  the  twentieth  century  something  of  the  at- 
mosphere of  sixty  years  ago.  At  any  rate 
the  testimony  of  many  of  those  who  remember 
conditions  and  events  of  1 847  would  seem 
to  indicate  that  we  are  justified  in  that  belief. 

While  this  page  was  being  written  we  re- 
ceived a  request  from  Mr.  George  S.  Godard, 
state  librarian,  for  a  complete  file  of  The 
Standard  to  be  placed  in  the  State  Library 
of  Connecticut.  Mr.  Godard  explained  that 
he  wished  to  have  The  Standard  on  file  where 
it  might  be  used  for  reference  by  Connecticut 
historians.  This,  we  believe,  was  as  unique 
a  compliment  as  was  ever  received  by  a  pub- 
lication designed  primarily  for  advertising  pur- 
poses. 

MONEY  HOARDING  IN  1847. 
The  year  1847  witnessed  a  money-hoarding 
frenzy  parallel  to  that  which,  at  this  writing, 
is  troubling  us.  "A  good  many  people",  says 
the  New  York  Evening  Post,  "  have  been 
asking,  the  past  week,  whether  any  community 
in  the  world,  except  our  own,  has  ever  made 
such  an  exhibition  of  itself  in  the  matter  of 
money-hoarding  as  our  own  has  done.  The 
nearest  approach  in  history,  outside  of  this 
country's  borders,  was  in  the  famous  London 
panic  of   1847." 

That  panic  nearly  broke  the  Bank  of  Eng- 
land, which,  under  the  act  of  1844,  "could 
not  enlarge  its  note  circulation  except  on  gold  ; 
but  its  gold  was  already  failing  it,  and  to  con- 
tinue discounting  merchants'  bills  was  to  cause 
a  further  loss.     For  a  day  or  two,   the  Bank 


in  the  ephemeral  literature  of  the  early  half 
and  middle  of  the  19th  century. 

No  paper  went  to  press,  apparently,  with- 
out some  anecdote  like  the  following: 
"A  Yankee  pedler,  with  his  cart,  over- 
taking another  of  his  clan  on  the  roads, 
was  thus  addressed,  'Hallo,  what  do 
you  carry  ?'  'Drugs  and  medicines,'  was 
the  reply.  'Good!'  returned  the  other, 
'you    may   go    ahead;    I    carry   gravestones!" 

The  term  "Yankee"  has  been  a  variable 
one;  for  the  Englishman  it  included  the  whole 
American  nation  ;  by  other  sections  it  was  re- 
stricted to  the  New  Englander,  while  by  the 
New  Englanders  who  dwelt  in  populous  cen- 
ters it  was  still  more  specifically  applied.  The 
English  writers  of  that  day,  as  well  as  this, 
were  fond  of  descanting  on  "Americanisms.' 
One  such  observer  of  sixty  years  ago  comes  to 
the  defense  of  certain  peculiarities  of  speech 
attributed  to  us  as  a  people.  His  remarks  are 
none  the  less  interesting  because  of  the  fact  that 
the  matter  has  been  discussed   more   recently. 

"The  frequent  use  of  the  words  'sir'  and 
'ma'm'  in  the  United  States,  like  'oui,  mon- 
sieur, oui,  madame,'  in  France,  for  the  sake 
of  softening  the  bald  and  abrupt  'yes'  or  'no', 
would  sound  to  a  Frenchman  or  Italian  more 
polite;  and  if  the  Americans  were  to  con- 
form to  the  present  English  model  in  such 
trifles,  it  might  happen  that  in  England  itself 
the  fashion  may  soon  change. 

"There  are  also  some  antique  provincialisms 
handed  down  from  the  time  of  the  first  settlers, 
which  may  well  deserve  to  be  kept  up,  al- 
though they  may  be  subjects  of  diversion  to 
English  tourists.  In  one  of  Shirley's  plays, 
written  just  before  the  middle  of  the  seven- 
teenth   century,    when    the   largest   emigration 


Harriet  Martineau,  at  a  somewhat  earlier 
period,  said  in  her  "Society  in  America", 
"We  are  often  told  that  it  was  a  'dreadful 
fine  day' ;  and  a  girl  at  an  hotel  pronounced 
my  trumpet  to  be  'terrible  handy'.  In  the 
back  of  Virginia,  these  superlative  expressions 
are  the  most  rife.  A  man  who  was  ex- 
tremely ill  and  in  agonizing  pain  sent  for  a 
friend  to  come  to  him.  Before  the  friend  ar- 
rived, the  pain  was  relieved,  but  the  patient 
felt  much  reduced  by  it.  'How  do  you  find 
yourself?'  inquired  the  friend.  'Why',  re- 
plied the  sick  man,  'I'm  powerful  weak;  but 
cruel  easy.'" 

THE  NEW  YORK  HERALD. 

In  the  October  number  we  printed  an  ar- 
ticle on  the  New  York  Herald.  The  Herald 
of  1 847  loomed  large  in  the  eyes  of  its  con- 
temporaries and  attacks,  eulogies  and  quotations 
from  that  paper  abounded  in  the  press  of  the 
day.  One  journal  declared  that  the  Herald's 
motto  was  as  follows: 

"Take  no  shin-plasters,  all  damned  rogues 
who  issue  them — live  temperately — drink  mod- 
erately — eschew  temperance  societies  —  take 
care  of  the  sixpences — never  trust  a  saint — go 
to  bed  at  ten — rise  at  six — never  buy  on  credit 
— fear  Cod  Almighty — love  the  beautiful  girls 
— vote  against  Van  Buren — and  kick  all  pol- 
iticians and  parsons  to  the  devil." 

SKETCH  OF  THE  HUB. 
Considerable  space  has  been  given  in  this 
number  to  the  city  of  Boston.  The  preparation 
of  the  sketch  of  the  "Hub"  was  a  pleasant 
duty.  It  is  hoped  that  those  who  know  the 
city,  especially  who  knew  it  sixty  years  ago, 
will  find  as  much  pleasure  in  the  reading. 


1847    then—  -THE  SILVER  STANDARD 

BOSTON  IN  1847 


-i9o; 


MANY   EVENTS   OF   IMPORTANCE   TRANSPIRED   THAT  YEAR   IN   THE 

GREAT   NEW   ENGLAND   CITY. 


As  Americans  we  take  pride  in  the  growth 
of  such  cities  as  Portland,  Ore.,  which  sixty 
years  ago  hardly  had  a  place  on  the  map,  and 
San  Francisco,  known  as  Yerba  Buena  in 
1847,  when  it  boasted  500  inhabitants.  But, 
in  contrast  with  these  places  of  comparatively 
modern  birth,  it  is  also  pleasant  to  turn  to  the 
city  of  Boston,  which  in  1847  was  rich  in 
history  and  tradition;  staid  and  settled,  per- 
haps a  bit  contemptuous,  in  an  indulgent  sort 
of  way,  of  the  struggling 
settlements  of  the  far 
west. 

Boston  in  1847  had 
a  population  of  over 
114,000.  The  city 
had  been  incorporated 
twenty-five  years. 
Josiah  Quincy,  Jr.,  was 
its  mayor.  I  he  assessor's 
book  showed  real  estate 
amounting  to  $97,764,- 
500  and  personal  estate, 

$64,595,900. 

The  two  views  of 
old  and  new  Boston  on 
pages  2  and  3  show 
the  same  locality — 
Tremont  Street.  The 
Park  Street  Church  is 
prominent  in  both,  while 
the  State  House  dome 
may  be  seen  in  the 
distance.  In  the  first 
view  appears  the  old 
Granary  Burying 
Ground,  with  the  Tre- 
mont House  on  the 
right.  The  photograph 
showing  modern  Bos- 
ton was  taken  specially  for  The  Standard 
with  the  purpose  of  duplicating  the  old  view 
so  far  as  possible. 

An  English  visitor  of  the  time  writes  thus  of 
the  Boston  he  saw  :  "  I  need  only  say,  that, 
like  most  strangers,  I  was  much  struck  with 
the  old  and  respectable  appearance  of  Boston 
—  its  substantial  and  handsome  houses  of  stone 
and  brick,  its  well  paved  and  cleanly  streets, 
its  busy  and  orderly  population,  as  well  as 
with  the  various  tokens  of  literary  taste  and 
refinement  which  met  the  eye.  The  merest 
glance  at  this  city  and  its  thoroughfares, 
thronged  with  passengers  differing  in  no  respect 
from  those  one  sees  any  day  in  Regent  Street 
or  the  Strand,  would  dispel  the  strange  and 
misty  notions  entertained  in  England  respect- 
ing the  people  of  the  United  States."  Most 
of  us  probably  agree  with  the  desire  of  the 
Scottish  bard  to  see  ourselves  as  others  see  us. 
If  cities  are  like  people  in  this  respect,  Boston 
surely  for  many  years  has  had  the  satisfaction 
of  seeing  herself  reflected  in  the  eyes  of  others. 
Perhaps  we  can  give  no  better  idea  of  the  city 
of  1847  than  by  quoting  somewhat  liberally 
from  these  visitors'  descriptions. 


First  let  us  see  how  she  sizes  up  as  a  com- 
mercial center,  viewed  through  New  York 
eyes. 

"Any  man  who  visits  this  centre  of  eastern 
enterprise,"  declared  the  New  York  Journal 
of  Commerce,  "will  be  astonished  at  its  growth. 
The  last  three  years  especially  have  made  it 
almost  to  burst  with  swelling  greatness.  Such 
a  people,  so  intelligent,  enterprising  and  in- 
dustrious,   where    everybody   works,    will  be 


rich,  and  will  accomplish  everything  they 
undertake.  But  Boston  has  been  more  than 
successful.  Her  other  plans  of  improvement 
have  surpassed  the  expectations  of  their  pro- 
jectors, in  their  favorable  results.  The  number 
of  her  merchants  has  immensely  increased, 
while  everybody  does  a  much  larger  business 
than  formerly,  especially  the  dry  goods  dealers. 

"He  was  a  respectable  jobber  a  few  years 
ago,  who  sold  $100,000  worth  of  goods;  but 
now  from  $300,000  to  $500,000  is  a  com- 
mon thing.  The  stores  of  the  dry  goods  job- 
bers are  built  like  palaces,  with  an  exuberence 
of  cost,  which  is  almost  in  bad  taste.  The 
renowned  peninsula  is  all  built  over  snug  and 
tight,  and  thousands  of  merchants  live  out  of 
town,  conveyed  by  omnibusses  and  railroad 
cars. 

"Hundred  thousand  dollar  men  are  plenty 
now  all  about,  and  millionaires  are  found  here 
and  there.  The  Bostonians  attribute  their 
great  prosperity  to  their  railroads,  especially 
that  to  Albany.  This  road  has  opened  the 
western  trade  more  fully  than  they  had  it  be- 
fore, and  has  made  Boston  more  accessible  to 
the  west,    at  some  seasons  of  the  year,  than 


New  York.  Boston  deserves  whatever  pros- 
perity she  gains  from  this  noble  enterprise. 
It  was  not  built  by  her  capitalists  or  her  re- 
tired men.  They  never  do  these  things.  The 
men  in  active  business,  who  had  less  personal 
interest  in  it,  but  more  enterprise  and  public 
spirit,  did  it,  as  they  must  ever  do  these  things. 
1  hey  could  do  it ;  for  in  Boston  there  is  a 
concentration  of  the  public  mind,  which  brings 
out  and  directs  its  mighty  force  to  great 
achievements." 

SirCharlesLyell,  em- 
inent British  geologist, 
found  that  "the  num- 
ber of  persons  in  Bos- 
ton who  have  earned 
in  business,  or  have  in- 
herited large  fortunes, 
is  very  great.  The 
Common,  a  small  park, 
w  hich  is  by  no  means 
the  only  quarter  fre- 
quented by  rich  citi- 
zens, is  surrounded  by 
houses  which  might 
form  two  fine  squares 
in  London,  and  the 
average  value  of  which, 
in  the  market,  might 
bear  a  comparison 
with  those  in  very  fash- 
ionable parts  of  our 
metropolis  —  sums  of 
from  £4,000  to  £20,- 
000  having  been  paid 
for  them.  The  greater 
part  of  these  buildings 
are  the  property  of  the 
persons  who  reside  in 
them ;  and  they  are 
fitted  up  very  elegantly,  and  often  expensively. 
"Entertainments  in  a  sumptuous  style  are 
not  rare;  but  the  small  number  of  servants  in 
comparison  with  those  kept  in  England  by 
persons  of  corresponding  income,  and  the  want 
of  an  equipage,  impart  to  their  mode  of  life 
an  appearance  of  simplicity  which  is  perhaps 
more  the  result  of  necessity  than  of  deference 
to  a  republican  theory  of  equality.  For  to 
keep  servants  here  for  mere  show,  would  not 
only  be  thought  absurd,  but  would  be  a  great 
sacrifice  of  comfort. 

"To  obtain  a  few  efficient  ones  at  any  price, 
and  to  put  up  with  many  inconveniences  rather 
than  part  with  them — allowing  them  to  con- 
tinue in  service  after  marriage,  is  the  practice 
of  not  a  few  of  the  richest  people,  who  often 
keep  no  more  than  four  domestics  where  there 
would  be  at  least  nine  in  London.  In  conse- 
quence of  this  state  of  things,  the  ladies  are 
more  independent  of  being  waited  on  than 
those  of  similar  fortune  in  England." 

Of  this  matter  of  few  servants  the  editor  of 
Godey's  Lady's  Book  wrote  as  follows:  "The 
late  census  of  Boston  has  developed  some 
curious  facts.     There  is  no  'upper  ten-thou- 


1S47 — THEN- 


-THE  SILVER  STANDARD

sand'  in  that  city — not  if  to  keep  servants  be 
necessary  to  the  distinction.  Only  three  hun- 
dred and  forty  families  in  Boston  keep  more 
than  two  domestics.  And  but  four  thousand 
four  hundred  and  one  families  keep  help  at 
all ;  while  fifteen  thousand,  seven  hundred  and 
seventy- four  families  live  in  household  inde- 
pendence, doing  their  own  work  entirely ! 

"Yet  every  child  in  the  city  has  the  privi- 
lege of  attending  the  free  schools,  and  every 
family  in  town  attends  the  Lowell  Lectures. 
In  the  late  effort  to  raise  $75,000  for  the  new 
Athenaeum,  shares  were  offered  and  the  whole 
amount  obtained  with  ease — the  people  who 
wait  on  themselves  having  abundant  time  to 
read  the  books  and  visit  the  gallery  of  painting 
and  statuary. 

"Of  the  $125,124  received  the  past  year 
by  the  'American  Home  Missionary  Society', 
$41,498,  or  nearly  one-third,  was  from  Mass- 
achusetts— the  most  of  it  given  by  Boston 
people.  They  have  lately  given  $20,000  to 
the  Nantucket  sufferers.  So  there  is  money 
enough  for  every  purpose  of  improvement  and 
charity,  while  in  true  republican 
simplicity  the  city  is  a  model  for 
imitation.  Very  few  private  car- 
riages are  kept.  To  work,  walk, 
or  'ride  in  an  omnibus'  are  not 
accounted  indications  of  poverty 
or  vulgarity ;  but  not  to  be  able 
to  read,  write  or  give  a  little  for 
benevolent  purposes,  would  be 
poor  and  low  indeed. 

"Wealth,  then,  when  united 
with  general  intelligence  and  equal 
laws,  is  not  a  currupter  of  pub- 
lic morals.  The  city  of  Boston 
is  the  richest  in  the  Union,  and 
there  will  be  found  the  least  show 
and  ostentation.  Their  women 
are  better  educated  than  any 
other  in  the  world.  Does  learn- 
ing disqualify  them  for  domestic 
managers?  Let  the  census  and 
the   general  prosperity  answer." 

No  doubt  the  scarcity  of  ser-  = 
vants  had  much  to  do  with  a  difficulty  encoun- 
tered early  in  his  visit  by  Sir  Charles.  "As  we 
intended,"  he  wrote,  "to  pass  nearly  two  months 
in  Boston,  we  determined  to  look  out  for  private 
lodgings,  such  as  might  be  met  with  in  every 
large  town  in  England,  but  which  we  found 
it  almost  impossible  to  procure  here.  It  does 
not  answer  to  keep  houses,  or  even  suites  of 
apartments  to  let  in  a  city  where  house  rent 
is  so  dear,  and  well-trained  servants  so  diffi- 
cult to  hire,  even  at  high  wages.  In  this 
country,  moreover,  the  mass  of  the  people 
seem  to  set  less  value  on  the  privilege  of  liv- 
ing in  private  than  we  English  do.  Not  only 
strangers  and  bachelors,  but  whole  families, 
reside  in  boarding-houses,  usually  kept  by  a 
widow  who  has  known  better  days,  and  is  a 
good  manager,  and  can  teach  and  discipline 
servants." 

Regarding  the  hotels  of  Boston,  W.  Cham- 
bers, in  an  interesting  work  entitled,  "Things 
as  They  Are  in  America,"  speaks  in  appre- 
ciative terms.  "In  Boston,  I  had  the  oppor- 
tunity of  seeing  for  the  first  time  a  specimen 
of  that  extraordinary  hotel  system,  which 
forms  one  of  the  leading  social  features  of  the 
United  States.  I  lodged  at  the  Revere  House, 
an  establishment  consisting  of  several  hundred 


apartments,  including  a  more  than  usually 
splendid  suite  of  public  drawing-rooms  and 
parlours,  and  a  spacious  saloon,  in  which  all 
the  guests  take  their  meals,  as  at  a  table- 
d'hote." 

Elsewhere  he  exclaims,  "An  American  hotel 
is  not  a  house,  it  is  a  town ! " 

Under  the  caption  "Expense  of  Living" 
another  writer  has  this  to  say:  "The  expense 
of  living  in  the  northern  states  is,  upon  the 
whole,  decidedly  more  reasonable  than  in 
England,  although  the  dress,  both  of  men  and 
women,  is  somewhat  dearer.  In  Boston,  also, 
the  rent  of  houses  is  very  high,  but  not  so  in 
the  country. 

"Traveling is  much  cheaper,  and  so  are  food, 
newspapers  and  books.  On  comparing  the 
average  price  of  bread  during  the  present  year 
with  that  in  England,  we  find  that  it  is  about 
twenty-five  per  cent,  cheaper,  beef  and  mut- 
ton ten  per  cent,  cheaper,  and  the  price  of 
poultry  extremely  moderate. 

"  Why  in  so  old  a  city  as  Boston  the  sup- 
ply of  seamstresses,  milliners,  and  dressmakers 


BOSTON  POLICE.  1847. 


should  be  as  inadequate  to  the  demand  as  in 
some  of  our  newly  -  founded  colonies  when 
most  progressive,  I  leave  to  political  economists 
to  explain. 

"My  wife  was  desirous  of  having  a  dress 
and  bonnet  made  up  in  a  week,  but  one  mil- 
liner after  another  declined  to  undertake  the 
task.  It  would  be  a  useful  lesson  to  those 
who  are  accustomed  to  consider  themselves  as 
patrons  whenever  they  engage  others  to  do 
work  for  them,  to  learn  how  in  reality,  if 
things  are  in  a  healthy  state,  the  obligation  is 
mutual;  but  to  discover  that  the  usual  relations 
of  the  employer  and  employed  are  entirely  re- 
versed, and  that  the  favor  is  by  no  means 
conferred  by  the  purchaser,  would  try  the 
patience  of  most  travelers. 

"Friends  interceded,  but  in  vain;  till,  at 
last,  a  representation  was  made  to  one  of  these 
important  personages  that  my  wife  was  about 
to  leave  the  city  on  a  fixed  day,  and  that  be- 
ing a  foreigner,  she  ought,  out  of  courtesy,  to 
be  assisted;  an  appeal  which  was  successful, 
and  the  work  was  then  undertaken  and  sent 
home  with  strict  punctuality,  neatly  made,  and 
every  spare  scrap  of  the  material  honestly  re- 
turned, the  charge  being  about  equal  to  that 
of  the  first  London  dressmakers. 


"We  remarked  in  some  of  the  country 
towns  of  Massachusetts,  where  the  income  of 
the  family  was  very  moderate,  that  the  young 
ladies  indulged  in  extravagant  dressing  — 40 
pounds,  for  example,  being  paid  for  a  shawl 
in  one  instance.  Some  of  the  richer  class,  who 
had  returned  from  passing  a  year  or  two  in 
Germany  and  England,  had  been  much  struck 
with  the  economical  habits,  in  dress  and  in  the 
luxuries  of  the  table,  of  persons  in  easy  circum- 
stances there  and  the  example  had  not  been 
lost  on  them." 

The  English  visitors  of  the  period  seldom 
complained  that  the  American  was  too  meek 
or  modest.  For  the  most  part  they  did  not 
word  their  observations  on  this  point  so  con- 
siderately as  in  the  following: 

"The  Americans,  in  general,  have  more 
self-possession  and  self-confidence  than  Eng- 
lishmen, although  this  characteristic  belongs 
perhaps  less  to  the  Bostonians  than  to  the 
citizens  of  most  of  the  other  parts  of  the  Union. 
On  the  other  hand,  the  members  of  the  great 
republic  are  sensitive  and  touchy  about  their 
country,  a  point  on  which  the 
English  are  imperturbably  in- 
different, being  proud  of  every 
thing  British,  even  to  a  fault, 
since  contempt  for  the  opinion 
of  other  nations  may  be  car- 
ried so  far  as  to  diminish  pro- 
spect of  national  improvement. 
It  might  be  better  if  each  of  the 
great  branches  of  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  family  would  borrow  some- 
thing of  the  qualities  of  the  other, 
— if  John  Bull  had  less  mauvais 
Jwnte  so  as  to  care  less  for 
what  others  were  thinking  of  him- 
self individually  and  if  Jonathan 
cared  less  for  what  others  are 
thinking  of  the  country." 

A  tribute  to  Boston's  morality 
is  paid  by  Sir  Charles  Lyell, 
who  declared  that  "the  impress 
of  the  strict  morals  of  the  Puritan 
=  founders  of  the  New  England 
commonwealths  on  the  manners  of  their  des- 
cendants, is  still  very  marked.  Swearing  is 
seldom  heard,  and  dueling  has  been  success- 
fully discountenanced,  although  they  are  in 
constant  communication  with  the  southern 
states,  where  both  these  practices  are  com- 
mon, though  much  less  so  than  formerly." 

Indeed  Puritanism  sixty  years  ago  went  to 
the  length  of  imposing  a  fine  on  any  one  found 
smoking  on  the  street.  A  "smokers'  circle" 
was  set  apart,  however,  on  the  Common, 
where  the  practice  might  be  indulged  in  out- 
of-doors. 

To  Boston's  intellectuality  and  especially 
the  fondness  for  the  lecture  all  the  travelers 
bear  witness.  One  George  Combe,  who  made 
"a  phrenological  visit"  to  this  country,  was 
very  favorably  impressed  (from  a  phrenological 
standpoint)  by  the  people  of  Boston.  He 
considered  "this  people  naturally  capable  of 
rising  to  a  high  degree  of  civilization."  This 
should  have  been  very  gratifying. 

The  lecture  thrived  at  the  expense  of  the 
theatre,  which  in  1847  was  not  a  very  success- 
ful institution. 

One  of  the  reasons  for  this  fact,  according 
to  Sir  Charles  Lyell,  was  that  many  men  "of 
the  middle  or  even  humbler  class"  preferred 


1847 — tiiex- 


-THE  SILVER  RTANDARD- 


-now— 1907 


to  spend  their  evenings  at  home  reading  aloud 
to  their  families. 

In  1847,  however,  occurred  the  first  presen- 
tation of  Italian  opera  in  Boston  by  a  company 
from  Havana  who  opened  in  April  at  the 
Howard  Athenaeum. 

William  Warren,  the  comedian,  made  his 
first  appearance  at  the  Museum  in  1847. 
Adelaide  Phillips  was  a  danseuse  at  this  house 
in  the  same  year.  The  Federal  Street  Theatre, 
which  had  been  used  for  religious  and  for 
musical  purposes,  was  again  opened  for  theat- 
rical performances  in  1846-47. 

The  Public  Library  may  be  said  to  date 
back  to  1847.  In  a  message  to  the  City 
Council  Mayor  Quincy  "again  brought  to 
public  attention  the 
idea  of  a  great  public 
library.  He  announced 
that  a  citizen  had  of- 
fered to  contribute  the 
sum  of  $5,000  to- 
ward the  establishment 
of  such  a  library,  on 
condition  that  the  sum 
of  $10,000  should  be 
contributed  by  others. 
It  afterward  became 
known  that  this  citizen 
who  so  modestly  veiled 
his  indentity  while  he 
offered  so  munificent  a 
donation  was  nons 
otherthanMayorQuin- 
cy  himself.  This  mes- 
sage of  the  Mayor  was 
referred  to  a  special 
committee  which  was 
to  consider  the  expedi- 
ency of  commencingthe 
formation  of  a  public 
library,  under  the  con- 
trol and  auspices  of 
the  city  with  authority 
to  receive  donation1; 
for  the  same,  either  in 
books  or  money.   The 

report  of  the  committee 

was  elaborate,  and  rec- 
ommended an  order,  which  was  adopted, 
providing  that  whenever  the  proposed  library 
should  reach  the  value  of  $30,000,  a  suitable 
place  should  be  provided  for  it,  so  arranged 
that  the  public  might  use  it  with  freedom. 
An  act  of  the  General  Court  was  procured 
authorizing  the  city  to  establish  and  maintain 
a  public  library  for  the  use  of  its  citizens. 
From  this  moment  the  Public  Library  of  the 
city  of  Boston  had  a  being." 

This  same  year  Alexander  Vattemare,  pre- 
fect of  police,  Paris,  donated  books  to  the 
city  which  became  a  nucleus  for  a  library. 

Failure  of  crops  was  causing  great  distress 
in  1847  in  Europe,  especially  Ireland,  where 
famine  conditions  prevailed.  Wheat  and  corn 
were  abundant  in  America.  On  February 
22  Boston  merchants  petitioned  Congress  for 
the  use  of  a  national  ship-of-war,  which  they 
proposed  to  load  with  provisions  for  the  suf- 
ferers over  sea.  Congress  voted  to  comply 
with  the  request  and  the  charitable  plan  was 
carried  out  on  a  generous  scale. 

Th-^  laying  of  the  corner  stone  of  the  Bea- 
con Hill  Reservoir  took  place  on  Saturday, 
November    19,     1847.       Long    Pond,     lying 


in  the  towns  of  Framingham,  Natick  and  Way- 
land,  was  decided  upon  in  1845  for  the  site 
of  the  water  works.  The  ceremony  of  break- 
ing ground  occurred  August  20,  1 846,  and  the 
name  of  the  pond  was  changed  to  Lake 
Cochituate. 

It  was  but  proper  that  educational  advance 
should  be  a  feature  of  the  growth  of  the 
Athens  of  America.  Lawrence  Scientific 
School  was  founded  in  1847  by  the  gift  of 
$50,000  from  Abbott  Lawrence;  the  School 
of  Theology  was  opened  as  part  of  Boston 
University;  the  cornerstone  of  the  Boston 
Athenaeum  on  Beacon  street  was  laid  in  April. 

The  horse  found  a  powerful  friend  in  1847 
when  Dr.  J.  C.  Warren,  professor  of  anatomy

and  surgery  in  the  Harvard  Medical  School 
1815-'47,  delivered  an  address  before  the 
Legislative  Agricultural  Society  in  which  he 
denounced  cruelty  to  horses  and  pleaded  for 
better  treatment  of  them.  In  the  same  year 
John  H.  Dexter,  of  Boston,  published  a 
pamphlet  entitled  "A  plea  for  the  Horse." 

The  actual  organization  of  the  Massachusetts 
Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to  Ani- 
mals did  not  come  until  1 868,  but  this  was 
clearly  the  result  of  the  agitation  begun  in 
1 847  and  credit  for  the  organization  is  given 
to  Mrs.  William  Appleton,  daughter  of  Dr. 
Warren. 

The  philanthropic  spirit  was  active  along 
many  lines.  The  Temporary  Home  of  the 
Destitute  and  the  Needlewoman's  Friend  So- 
ciety were  established,  the  Industrial  Aid  So- 
ciety was  incorporated  and  a  building  erected 
by  the  Boston  Port  and  Seaman's  Aid  Society 
in  1847. 

The  American  Unitarian  Association,  es- 
tablished in  1825,  was  incorporated  in  1847. 

That  year  marks  the  abandonment  of  that 
curious  and,  because  of  the  notable  names 
connected  with  it,  that  very  interesting  experi- 


ment, the  Brook  Farm.  "The  Phalanstery" 
building  was  burned  and  the  community — its 
remaining  members  already  disillusionized — 
were  scattered. 

The  establisment  of  city  institutions  on  Deer 
Island  was  begun  in  1847,  when  hospitals 
were  erected  in  May  as  a  Quarantaine  estab- 
lishment and  a  general  receptacle  for  foreign 
paupers  and  others  arriving  ill  with  contagious 
diseases,  especially  ship  -  fever,  which  raged 
that  year. 

Other  events,  more  or  less  notable,  connect- 
ed with  the  1847  date  include  the  completion 
and  opening  of  the  Revere  House  and  the 
establishment  of  the  National  Exchange  Bank. 
A  serious  fire  in  Causeway,  Medford  and 
Charleston  Streets  oc- 
curredjanuary  22.  The 
old  Custom  House  was 
sold  June  16.  On 
June  29  President  Polk 
visited  the  city.  Iron 
seats  were  placed  in  the 
Common,  the  wooden 
ones  having  suffered 
from  the  characteristic 
Yankee  customof  whit- 
tling. 

ChristChurch  steeple 
in  1846  was  found 
to  be  in  a  decaying 
condition.  In  August, 
1847,  therefore,  the 
spire,  or  all  above  the 
upper  windows,  was 
raised  from  its  fastenings 
and  lowered  from  a 
height  of  130  feet  to 
the  pavement  without 
accident.  The  part 
that  supported  the  spire 
was  rebuilt.  The  ball 
on  the  spire  was  opened 
and  found  to  contain  an 
account  of  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  steeple  in 
1804,  when  it  was 
blown  down,  and  its 
restoration  in  1807. 
This  was  replaced,  together  with  an  account 
of  the  repairs  in  1847  and  other  documents. 
A  rather  extraordinary  robbery  at  the  cor- 
ner of  Washington  and  Milk  Streets,  in  the 
store  occupied  by  Messrs.  Currier  &  Trott, 
and  Widdifield  &  Co.,  the  former  jewelers 
and  the  latter  opticians,  occurred  some  time 
between  Saturday  night,  January  30,  and 
Monday  morning,  February  1 ,  when  the 
building  was  entered  and  stripped  of  watches, 
jewelry,  spoons,  etc.,  to  the  value  of  $10,000. 
This,  then,  was  the  Boston  of  1847 — rec- 
ognized as  the  seat  of  an  austere  yet  kindly 
culture;  a  community  broad  in  many  ways 
yet  with  a  certain  narrowness  bequeathed  by 
Puritan  forebears  still  clinging  to  its  garments. 
Sixty  years  to  an  English  hamlet  are  but  as 
yesterday;  to  one  of  our  hustling  western  cities 
they  are  its  history;  to  New  York  they  are  a 
past  epoch.  To  Boston  they  partake  of  all 
these  features.  The  progress  that  has  marked 
its  life  has  not  essentially  changed  its  character- 
istics. Where  a  dead  and  gone  New  Yorker, 
called  back  to  life,  would  feel  lost  in  the  me- 
tropolis, a  resurrected  Boston  man  would  rec- 
ognize the  city  of  his  own  day.

THANKSGIVING 

PURITAN  CUSTOM 
ALMOSTUNTVERSAL. 

The  good  old  Puritan 
custom  of  Thanksgiv- 
ing has  become  almost 
universal  in  every  State, 
thereby  giving  evidence 
that  the  stream  flowing 
from  Plymouth  Rock 
shall  yet  spread  over 
our  whole  land.  We 
have  indeed  cause  to  be 
grateful  to  our  Creator 
for  his  blessings.  He  has 
given  us  a  goodly  land 
and  while  the  waitings 
of  famine  and  distress 
come  floating  on  e^ 
billow  from  Europe,  we 
have  enough  and  to 
spare,  and  let  us  be 
thankful  to  God  that 
while  he  has  given  us 
much  to  spare,  he  has 
also  put  into  our  hearts 
to  cast  our  bread  upon 
the  waters.  It  will  return 
with  interest,  for  "he 
that  giveth  to  the  poor 
lendeth  to  the  Lord.' 
Thanksgiving  is  gener 
ally  a  happy  day,  in 
New  England  especial- 
ly. Then  separate  re 
latives  gather  together, 
and  old  and  young  bas 
in  love,  happiness  and 
friendship.  May  thi 
simple  and  beautiful  cus 
torn  never  be  aban- 
doned, but  become 
closer  and  closer  en 
twined  round  the  hearts 
of  our  people. 

A  NOVEL  MA-

vented and  isexhibiting 
in  Washington  a  very 
novel  machine  for  tak- 
ing the  yeas  and  nays 
in  legislative  bodies.  It 
is  especially  intended 
for  the  use  of  Congress. 
By  the  proposed  ar- 
rangement, a  mere 
glance  of  hiseyeinforms 
the  clerk  whether  there 
is  a  quorum  present; 
and  the  yeas  and  nays 
can  be  enumerated  and 
pointed  out  in  the  course 
of  a  minute  or  two  after 
the  votes  ha  ve  been  cast .

LIFE  IN  NEW 
ENGLAND.-An 

intelligent  gentleman 
who  has  been  travelling 
extensively  last  sum- 
mer in  New  England, 
speaks  to  us,  says  the 
Richmond  Republican, 
in  raptures  of  the  won- 
derful enterprise  and 
energy  of  the  people. 
Not  only  in  manufac- 
tures, said  he,  but  in 
every  branch  of  trade, 
1  and  especially  in  agri- 
culture, they  have  ex- 
hibited a  wonderful  im- 
provement. Their  un- 
inviting soil,  which 
would  here  be  given  up 
as  past  redemption,  has 
been  transformed  into  a 
garden.  They  are  a 
great  agricultural  peo- 
ple. Their  rough  roads, 
too,  have  been  made  as 
smooth  as  a  bowling 
alley.  Through  every 
part  of  the  country  the 
tide  of  life  rolls  with 
ceaseless  activity .  When 
you  are  on  the  railroads, 
said  our  informant,  you 
meet  with  such  a  multi- 
tude that  all  the  popu- 
lation seems  travelling. 
When  you  leave  the 
cars,  and  get  upon  the 
cross-roads,  visit  the 
farms  or  look  into  the 
shops,  the  whole  popu- 
lation seems  to  work, 
too,  with  theircoats  off, 
and  "fourteen  hours  a 
day"  toiling  for  their 
bread.  Can  Polk's  free 
trade  crush  such  peo- 
ple? 

VOLCANO— 

The  eruption  which  we 
noticed  in  last  week's 
paper  to  have  taken 
place  in  the  Look  Out 
Mountains  is  confirmed 
by  the  late  news  from 
the  South.  Enormous 
rocks  were  thrown  from 
the  mountains  into  the 
valleys  below,  and  it  is 
said  that  the  inhabitants 
in  the  neighborhood 
have  left  their  homes. 
Large  beds  of  bitumi- 
nous coal  are  found  in 
the  Look  Out  Moun- 
tains. The  eruption 
may  yet  turn  out,  how- 
ever, to  be  a  story  like 
that  of  "hey  diddle 
ddle." 


FRED  DOUGLASS. 

'"THE  negro  orator,  Frederick  Douglass,  has  located  in  Rochester, 
N.  Y.,  and  has  started  a  paper,  which,  we  understand,  is  to  be 
devoted  to  the  anti-slavery  principle.  This  former  slave  has  made 
quite  a  name  for  himself  by  his  efforts  in  behalf  of  his  own  race  and 
may  make  considerable  of  a  stir  before  many  years. 


INCREASE  OF 
PROPERTY  IN 
BOSTON.  —  Whole 

valuation  of  property  in 
Boston  in  1844,  $118,- 
450,309;  in  1845, 
$135,948,700;  in 

1846,  $150,000,000. 

Increase  in  1 845,  1 5

THREE  COLD 
MORNINGS.-The 

three  coldest  mornings 
in  November  for  the 
last  25  years  were  on 
the  25th  [and  26th  in 
1838,  and  the  30th  in 

1847,  when  the  ther- 
mometer indicated  5J& 
6,  and  1 0  degrees.  — 
Boston  Almanac. 


In  308  Massachusetts 
towns  with  737.700 
inhabitants,  there  are 
3,475  Public  Schools, 
having  an  annual  aver- 
age attendance  of  1  14,- 
000  pupils.  In  the 
whole  Commonwealth 
there  are  supposed  to 
be  20,000  who  never 
attend  school  at  all.  The 
present  number  of 
teachers  is  2,585  males, 
and  4,997  females. 

Boston, in  1800,  had 
twenty  -  five  thousand 
inhabitants,  in  1846, 
one  hundred  and  fifteen 
thousand.  At  the  same 
time  there  were  thirty 
distilleries,  now  only 
seven.  A  good  show- 
ing every'  way. 


FREE  PUBLIC 
LIBRARY.-A 

movement  is  in  progress 
in  Boston  to  establish  a 
Free  Public  Library  for 
the  citizens,  and  the 
Common  Council  have 
agreed  to  provide  ac- 
commodations as  soon 
as  $30,000  is  raised. 

MR.   EMERSON 
AND  ROOSTERS. 

-A  late  writer  in  speak- 
ing of  Bostomans  says, 
they  divide  their  time 
between  metaphysics 
and  "fancy  poultry;" 
and  while  they  look  up- 
on Emerson  asfarahead 
of  inspiration,  they  look 
upon  a  thirty-pound 
rooster  as  far  ahead  of 
him. 


THE  SCOTCH 
AND  AMERICAN 
YANKEE. -What 

Lord  Stanley  insinua- 
ted, and  the  Lord  Prov- 
ost of Edinburgh  said,  of 
our  countrymen  beyond 
the  Tweed,  was  repeat- 
ed in  other  words  at 
Manchester,  recently, 
by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Bacon 
of  New  Haven,  U.S. 
"The  inhabitants  of 
New  England,"  said 
he,  'are  what  are  call- 
ed in  America  'Yan- 
kees!' Youdon'tknow 
what  a  Yankee  is.  All 
Americans  are  not 
'Yankees,'  no  more 
than  all  the  subjects  of 
Queen  Victoria  are 
Scotchmen.  The  Yan- 
kees, in  fact,  are  the 
Scotch  of  America,  and 
the  Scotch  are  the  Yan- 
kees of  Great  Britain. 
(Laughter)  I  was  say- 
ing this  to  a  lady  in 
Edinburgh,  the  other 
day:  and  I  toldherthat, 
for  .ill  that,  you  would 
find  Yankees  every- 
where but  in  Scotland, 
and  Scotchmen  every- 
where but  in  New  Eng- 
land. And  what  is  the 
reason?  Because  they 
are  both  Yorkshire 
(roars  of  laughter) — or, 
as  we  say  at  home,  they 
have  both  got  their  eye 
teeth  cut."  (A  laugh.) 

The  Lachine  Rail- 
road, Canada,  was 
opened  to  the  public  a 
few  days  ago. 

Arrangements  be- 
tween the  Government 
and  E.  K.  Collins  for  a 
line  of  American  steam- 
ers between  New  York 
and  Liverpool  have 
been  completed. 

There  are  forty-five 
newspapers  published 
in  the  city  of  Boston. 
In  the  city  of  New  York 
their  name  is  legion. 

The  two  Government 
snag-boats  Samson  and 
Sevier,  built  at  New 
York  in  1843,  at  a  cost 
of  60  or  70,000  dollars, 
were  sold  at  Paducah, 
on  the  first  inst.,  for  the 
sum  of  3,643  dollars. 


HERE  has  been  no  period  since  the  government 

was  founded,  when  all  the  industrial  pursuits 

of  our  people  have  been  more  successful  or  when 

labor   in   all    branches  of  business   has  received   a 

fairer  or  better  reward.

TWO  ENGINES 

ARE  THE  WORK  OF 
ROSS  WINANS. 

Mr.  Ross  Winans, 
of  Baltimore,  has  lately 
built  two  engines,  of 
which  the  Charleston 
Courier  gives  the  fol- 
lowing description : 

Two  of  the  most 
splendid  pieces  cf  mech- 
anism we  have  ever 
seen,  are  the  locomo- 
tives 'John  C.  Cal- 
houn' and  'Rough  and 
Ready,'  lately  received 
:  here.  The  Calhoun  is 
certainly  a  splendid  en- 
gine, of  great  power, 
exquisite  workmanship 
and  perfect  construc- 
tion. She  bids  fair,  like 
her  illustrious  name- 
sake, to  take  the  lead 
on  our  road,  and  to 
command  the  admira- 
tion of  all  by  her  fidel- 
ity in  'keeping  the 
track,"  and  bearing  her 
train  of  followers  safely 
through.  When  we 
saw  her  she  v/as  in  that 
state  yclept  'masterly 
inactivity,'  but  when 
her  steam's  up  she'll  be 
some  punkins  and  no 
mistake. 

"The  Rough  and 
Ready  is  not  so  splen- 
did a  craft,  and  yet  is 
no  less  wonderful  a 
piece  of  machinery .  Its 
beauty  consists  of  its 
simplicity,  the  total  ab- 
sence of  ornament; 
doubtless  constructed  on 
the  principle  that  'beau- 
ty unadorned 's  adorned 
the  most.'  The  former 
engine  is  the  court  beau- 
ty, arrayed  in  splendor, 
glistening  up  with  jew- 
els, proud  and  magnifi- 
cent ;  the  latter,  the  vil- 
lage maiden,  unadorned 
and  yet  :urpassing  fair. 
The  former  brings  to 
mind  the  illustrious 
statesman,  in  the  purple 
and  splendor  of  the  Sen- 
ate ;  the  latter,  the  in- 
dominable  hero  in  his 
farmer  dress,  plain,  yet 
invincible  on  the  battle 
field." 

A_  CROOKED 
FENCE — There  is  a 
piece  of  fence  in  Indi- 
ana, made  of  pine  rails, 
so  crooked  that  every 
time  a  pig  attempts  to 
crawl  through  them  he 
comes  out  on  the  same 
side  he  starts  from.  So 
says  one  who  saw  it. 
We  think  the  man  must 
have  been  wonderfully 
cross-eyed  when  he 
looked  at  it. 

A  farmer's  wife  in 
New  Connecticut, 
Ohio,  is  preparing  an 
immense  cheese  for  a 
present  to  Queen  Vic- 
toria. With  some  few 
of  her  neighbors,  she 
has  procured  the  milk  of 
500  cows  for  one  day. 
The  production  is  a 
cheese  weighing  6,600 
lbs. 

Plank  roads  are  com- 
ing into  very  general 
favor.  They  originat-

PREFACE. 


When  the  United  States  Government  took  charge  of  the  World's  Columbian 
Exposition  on  the  occasion  of  its  dedication  in  October,  1892,  a  Board  of  Control 
was  appointed  to  carry  the  great  enterprise  to  a  successful  completion.  This 
Board  recognized  at  once  the  universal  interest  which  was  everywhere  manifested 
in  the  undertaking  and  foresaw  the  necessity  for  providing  a  book  of  reference 
that  would  furnish  the  public  with  the  information  they  were  desirous  of  obtain- 
ing, which  it  was  their  right  to  have  and  the  duty  of  the  Exposition  to  furnish. 
Arrangements  were  accordingly  made  with  that  end  in  view  and  hence  the  pres- 
ent work. 

The  purpose  has  been  to  provide  such  data  and  information  of  a  general  kind 
as  will  enable  any  one  to  comprehend  intelligently  and  in  its  fullness  the  greatest 
Exposition  the  world  has  ever  known.  Much  care  has  been  exercised  in  the 
preparation  of  the  matter,  so  that  it  might  be  absolutely  accurate,  and  in  this 
connection  the  publishers  are  greatly  indebted  to  the  officials  of  the  Exposition, 
the  State  Boards,  State  Commissioners,  Lady  Managers  and  Representatives  of 
foreign  countries. 

Not  only  have  the  publishers  fulfilled  the  conditions  required  by  the  govern- 
ment in  furnishing  the  data  and  information  required  in  such  a  work,  but  impelled 
by  a  sense  of  patriotism  and  pride,  have  gone  further  and  illuminated  its  pages 
with  the  largest  number  of  illustrations,  executed  in  the  highest  style  of  art,  that 
have  graced  the  pages  of  any  work  of  a  like  character. 

It  is  believed  that  everybody,  interested  as  they  are  in  the  World's  Columbian 
Exposition,  will  hail  The  Official  Directory  with  satisfaction  and  will  look  upon  it 
as  indispensable  at  this  time,  and  that  in  years  to  come  it  will  be  referred  to  with 
pleasure  and  profit  and  will  be  found  a  valuable  textbook  and  guide  to  any  nation 
that  in  the  future  may  conceive  the  plan  or  purpose  of  holding  an  exposition  of 
a  similar  character  and  scope. 

THE  PUBLISHERS.

34  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 


Pre-Mistorical. 


WHAT  may  be  termed  the  ante-Columbus,  or  pre-historical,  age  of  the  western 
half  of  the  globe  was  when  the  "oldest  inhabitant" — the  Mastodon  and  Mam- 
moth— roved  this  country.  In  the  skeletons  of  these  huge  animals,  which  have 
ceased  to  exist  for  so  many  thousand  years,  there  are  found  flint  arrow-heads, 
which  must  have  been  made  by  men  who  lived  in  that  time,  and  by  which  these 
wild  and  terrible  creatures  were  slain.  Besides  the  many  animals  which  belonged 
entirely  to  that  age,  and  which  there  is  nothing  like  now,  there  were  many  then 
upon  this  continent  which  we  read  of  now  only  in  foreign  countries.  The  monkey 
was  here,  in  what  we  call  the  United  States,  and  the  camel  and  rhinoceros.  What 
the  character  was  of  the  people  who  lived  at  that  time  it  is  impossible  to  guess. 

The  first  race  which  has  left  any  distinct  traces  of  itself  was  the  Mound-build- 
ers, and  it  hardly  seems  as  if  they  could  have  lived  at  the  time  of  the  Mastodon, 
for  they  made  pictures  of  all  the  things  about  them,  and  among  those  pictures 
there  is  nothing  which  resembles  these  huge  animals.  This  race  of  men  was  not 
savage,  in  one  sense  of  the  word;  they  worked  hard,  a  thing  which  the  savage 
seldom  does.  They  had  skill  and  loved  the  beautiful.  They  are  called  Mound- 
builders  because  they  have  left  behind  them  thousands  of  immense  mounds; 
some  curved,  some  square,  some  in  the  shape  of  a  snake.  Sometimes  these  earth- 
works have  from  fourteen  to  sixteen  miles  of  embankment.  Sorrfe  look  as  if 'they 
may  have  been  the  dwelling  places  of  their  kings;  others  seem  as  if  they  may  have 
protected  temples  or  altars  where  they  worshiped.  This  people  understood  the 
smeltingof  ores  and  mining.  Their  pottery  was  far  from  rude  and  their  implements 
of  warfare  very  serviceable.  They  buried  their  great  men  under  huge  pyramids 
of  dirt;  but  the  common  people,  to  judge  from  the  great  stack  of  bones  which 
have  been  found  in  parts  of  the  country,  were  doubtless  thrown  together  and  left 
in  the  open  air  At  the  time  they  lived  this  country  must  have  been  thickly  pop- 
ulated. It  must  have  taken  millions  of  men  to  do  what  they  did.  No  one  can 
guess  what  became  of  them,  or  why  they  left  the  possessions  upon  which  they 
had  spent  so  much  time  and  labor.  They  disappeared  many  years  before  the 
American  Indians  roamed  through  our  forests. 

The  American  Indians,  as  Columbus  and  his  fellow  Europeans  found  them, 
were  not  the  race  that  we  know.  They  were  said  to  be  well  formed,  winning, 
gentle  and  trustful.  They  were  gracious  in  their  speech  and  friendly  in  their 
manner,  with  soft  brown  bodies  and  delicate  movements.  Here  they  lived  free 
as  birds,  without  need  of  much  work,  with  no  cares,  until  the  civilized  warriors 
drove  them  west  and  ever  west. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  35 


Traditional. 


JT  is  hard  to  tell  which  of  the  nations  first  found  men  courageous  enough  to 
cross  these  unknown  waters.  There  are  traditions  that  the  Chinese  did  so,  and 
that  these  Buddhists  wandered  down  to  the  California  shore  and  went  deep  into 
the  country  that  we  now  know  as  Mexico.  There  are  traditions,  too,  that  the 
Breton  fishermen  cast  their  lines  upon  the  Newfoundland  coast.  It  is  certainly 
true  that  North  American  Indians  have  been  met  with  whose  languages  were 
mixed  with  French.  The  Welshmen  also  claim  that  a  number  of  their  country- 
men came  to  North  America  and  settled.  The  traditions  concerning  this  are 
peculiarly  romantic.  Two  brothers,  David  and  Medoc,  quarreled  for  the  throne 
of  Wales.  The  younger  gave  up  his  right,  and  fitting  out  a  ship  sailed  west. 
The  next  year  he  returned  and  said  that  he  had  found  a  fruitful  country.  He 
called  upon  his  friends  to  follow  him  and  filled  ten  ships  with  men,  women  and 
children.  They  sailed  away  and  were  never  heard  of  again.  Reference  has  been 
made  to  them  in  American  writings,  wherein  they  are  described  as  a  race  of  white 
Indians  using  many  Welsh  words  and  having  a  manuscript  copy  of  the  Bible,  in 
the  Welsh  language,  with  them.  One  reference  to  them  speaks  of  their  living 
among  the  upper  courses  of  the  Missouri. 

But  the  journeys  of  the  Norsemen  to  America  are  well  known.  These  Norse- 
men were  splendid  seamen  and  splendid  fighters.  They  had  been  all  over  the 
known  world.  They  had  frightened  even  the  great  emperor,  Charlemagne,  in 
France,  and  had  put  their  horses  in  his  palace.  Wherever  they  went  they  seemed 
to  conquer,  until  at  last  they  were  driven  from  Scotland.  Then,  on  the  melan- 
choly island  of  Iceland,  they  made  their  republic.  Two-thirds  of  the  year  they 
lived  in  twilight.  Books  were  their  consolation,  the  sea  their  playground.  It 
was  no  wonder  they  went  this  way  and  that,  whenever  their  fancy  prompted  and 
wherever  they  felt  they  could  fight  with  weaker  men.  They  discovered  Green- 
land and  settled  a  village  there;  then  in  strange,  strong,  if  not  fleet  ships,  went 
coasting  further  south.  It  was  Bjarne  Herjulfsen  with  his  crew  who  first  coasted — 
driven  by  adverse  winds — along  Narragansett  Bay,  Newfoundland  and  Nova  Sco- 
tia. He  went  back  to  Iceland  with  the  tales  of  what  he  had  seen.  "What,"  cried 
Erik  the  Red,  a  wild  Norseman  who  had  been  banished  from  his  native  country 
for  murder,  "you  saw  a  new  country  like  that,  with  green  trees  and  fields,  and 
never  put  a  foot  on  it?"  He  talked  so  much  and  so  long  and  loud  on  the  subject 
that  his  son,  Leif  Erikson,  made  up  his  mind  to  find  out  what  kind  of  lands  these 
were  which  were  so  much  talked  about.  He  bought  Bjarne's  ship  from  him,  took 
thirty-five  good  seamen  and  went  far  away  to  the  southwest.  They  landed  in  New- 
foundland, which  they  called  Helluland,  and  in  Nova  Scotia,  which  they  termed 
Markland.  '  They  looked  about  these  countries  a  little,  gave  them  names,  sailed 
away  and  were  two  days  at  sea  before  they  saw  land  again.  They  sailed  into  a 
sound,  and  the  grass  looked  beautiful  to  these  men  from  a  barren  country.  They 
found  luscious  grapes  growing  wild,  grapes  from  which  wine  could  be  made  with 
ease,  and  a  German  among  them  named  it  Vinland.  We  have  changed  the  name 
very  little.  We  call  it  Martha's  Vinyard  now.  This  was  in  the  year  iooo.  When 
Leif  Erikson  reached  home,  his  brother  made  the  complaint  that  he  had  brought 
home  much  too  little  news.  "You  may  go  in  my  ship,  brother,  to  Vinland,  if  you 
like,"  said  Leif;  and  thus  Thorbald,  in  the  year  1002,  went  to  Vinland  and  stayed

there  three  years.  It  is  thought  that  the  skeleton,  in  armor  found  near  Fall  River, 
Mass.,  in  183 1,  was  that  of  Thorbald,  who  was  killed  by  a  poisoned  arrow  from 
Indians.  In  1005,  tne  ^ast  son  °f  Erik  the  Red  started  to  Vinland  to  recover  the 
body  of  his  brother  Thorbald.  His  ship  was  blown  out  of  its  course  and  he  never 
reached  his  destination.  Then  came  Thorfinn  Karlsfenn,  with  his  wife,  Gudrid, 
and  with  them  151  men  and  seven  women.  For  three  years  they  lived  at  Vinland 
and  perhaps  built  the  tower  that  still  stands  in  Newport,  and  wrote  the  inscrip- 
tions on  the  blocks  near  the  Taunton  river.  On  account  of  constant  fights  with 
Indians  they  went  back  to  Iceland.  There  are  stories  of  other  journeys  by  the 
Norsemen  in  the  years  ion  and  1121,  and  accounts  of  their  going  as  far  south  on 
the  Atlantic  coast  as  Florida.  The  tower  which  stands  at  Newport,  the  only 
substantial  monument  that  the  Norsemen  left  of  their  visit,  is  low  and  round.  It 
has  two  windows  and  a  fire-place;  the  cement  with  which  the  stones  are  put 
together  is  still  strong,  and  but  for  the  fact  that  the  roof  is  gone  it  could  hardly 
be  called  a  ruin.  It  is  covered  with  ivy  now,  and  serves  the  purpose  of  amusing 
the  chance  tourist. 

According  to"  Moses  F.  Sweetser,  in  his  "  Hand  Book  of  the  United  States," 
the  name  America  comes  from  amalric,  or  emmerich,  an  old  German  word  spread 
through  Europe  by  the  Goths,  and  softened  in  Latin  to  Americus,  and  in  Italian 
to  Amerigo.  It  was  first  applied  to  Brazil.  Americus  Vespucius,  the  son  of  a 
wealthy  Florentine  notary,  made  several  voyages  to  the  New  World,  a  few  years 
later  than  Columbus,  and  gave  spirited  accounts  of  his  discoveries.  About  the 
year  1507  Hylacomylus,  of  the  college  of  St.  Die,  in  the  Vosges  mountains, 
brought  out  a  book  on  cosmography,  in  which  he  said:  "Now,  truly,  as  these 
regions  are  more  widely  explored,  and  another  fourth  part  is  discovered  by 
Americus  Vespucius,  I  see  no  reason  why  it  should  not  be  justly  called  Amerigen; 
that  is,  the  land  of  Americus,  or  America,  from  Americus,  its  discoverer,  a  man 
of  subtle  intellect."  Hylacomylus  invented  the  name  America,  and,  as  there  was 
no  other  title  for  the  New  World,  this  came  gradually  into  use.  It  does  not  ap- 
pear that  Vespucius  was  a  party  to  this  almost  accidental  transaction,  which  has 
made  him  a  monument  of  a  hemisphere. 

These  are  firmly  established  facts  which  prove  that  Christopher  Columbus 
was  not  the  first  discoverer  of  the  New  World,  yet  his  claim  to  the  honors  of  true 
discovery  are  practically  allowed  by  all  the  civilized  world.  The  additional  fact 
that  some  four  centuries  intervened  from  the  time  of  the  short  sojourn  of  the 
Norsemen  until  Columbus  did  discover  this  land,  is  sufficient  as  the  basis  for 
according  the  credit  to  the  Genoese.

CHRISTOPHER  COLUMBUS,  the  true  discoverer  of  this- land  of  the  free 
and  home  of  the  brave,  was  born  at  Genoa  in  1435.  He  was  the  eldest 
son  of  Dominico  Colombo  and  Suzanna  Fontanarossa.  His  father  was  a  wool- 
comber  and  continued  in  that  business  in  Genoa  and  Savona  with  varying  success 
until  his  means  were  such  as  to  enable  him  to  send  Christopher  to  the  University 
of  Pavia.  Christopher  devoted  himself  to  the  sciences,  particularly  nautical  astron- 
omy, under  the  instruction  of  Stefeno  di  Faenza  and  Antonio  da  Terzago.  After 
a  course  at  the  university  he  worked  for  awhile  at  his  father's  trade,  and  at  the  age 
of  fifteen  he  became  a  sailor.  According  to  the  crude  chapters  of  his  biography 
written  by  Hernando,  his  son,  his  early  life  is  dubious  and  conjectural,  and  little 
is  known  of  his  apprenticeship  at  sea.  These  unknown  years,  however,  were  cer- 
tainly stormy  and  eventful.  "  Wherever  ship  has  sailed,"  he  has  written,  "  there 
have  I  journeyed."  Among  other  places  he  visited  England,  "Ultima  Thule" 
(Iceland),  the  Guinea  Coast  and  the  Greek  Isles.  For  some  time  he  was  in  the 
service  of  Rene  of  Provence,  for  whom  he  intercepted  and  seized  a  Venetian 
galley  with  much  bravery  and  audacity.  Afterward  he  sailed  with  Columbo  el 
Mozo,  a  bold  privateer,  and  a  sea  fight  under  command  of  this  sea-captain  was 
the  means  of  bringing  him  ashore  in  Portugal.  During  these  years  before  the 
mast  and  in  the  rigging  his  mind  was  not  given  to  the  dross  of  booty  so  common 
to  the  semi-piratical  sailor  of  those  days,  but  instead,  he  was  fired  with  an  ambi- 
tion of  high  achievements  by  reading  and  meditating  on  the  works  of  Ptolemy 
and  Marinus,  the  cosmographia  of  Cardinal  Aliaco,  the  writings  of  Pliny  and 
Nearchus  and  the  travels  of  Marco  Polo  and  Mandeville.  He  mastered  nautical 
sciences,  learned  to  draw  charts  and  construct  spheres,  and  thus  fitted  himself  to 
become  a  practical  seaman  and  navigator.  Like  Lincoln,  he  arose  from  the 
humblest  surroundings  and  circumstances  to  the  very  highest  pinnacle  of  fame, 
honor  and  usefulness,  by  his  own  indomitable  spirit,  pluck  and  God-given  quali- 
ties, and  no  fitter  illustration  of  what  the  youth  of  this  grand  and  glorious  coun- 
try can  gradually  attain  to  under  the  broad  protection  of  the  Stars  and  Stripes 
can  be  found  than  in  the  lives  of  the  illustrious  names  mentioned.  What  an 
inspiration  to  "dare  and  do"  is  found  in  the  life  of  Christopher  Columbus! 
Particularly  admirable  is  his  course  as  a  youth  and  young  man.  Unaided  by 
wealth  or  rank,  he  forced  his  way  to  an  uncommon  position  among  his  associates 
as  apprenticed  sailor  while  yet  a  mere  strippling,  and  thenceforth  he  "built  above 
the  clouds"  by  a  close  application  to  the  solid  and  substantial  studies  best 
adapted  to  aid  him  in  reaching  the  goal  of  a  worthy  ambition. 

After  being  wrecked  in  a  sea-fight,  that  began  off  Cape  St.  Vincent,  and 
escaping  to  land  on  a  plank,  he  arrived  at  Lisbon.  In  1470  he  married  Felipa 
Moniz  de  Perestrello,  daughter  of  Bartollomeu  Perestrello,  a  captain  in  the  serv- 
ice of  Prince  Henry,  called  the  Navigator,  one  of  the  early  colonists  and  the 
first  governor  of  Porto  Santo,  an  island  off  Madeira.     Columbus  visited  the  island 


THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 


and  employed  his  time  in  making  maps  and  charts  for  a  livelihood,  while  he 
pored  over  the  logs  and  papers  of  his  deceased  father-in-law  and  talked  with  old 
seamen  of  their  voyages  and  of  the  mystery  of  the  Western  seas.  About  this 
time  he  arrived  at  the  conclusion  that  much  of  the  world  remained  undiscovered 
and  step  by  step  to  have  conceived  the  design  of  reaching  Asia  by  sailing  west, 
which  resulted  in  the  discovery  of  America.  It  was  to  this  train  of  thought, 
which  finally  came  to  fruition,  that  the  New  World  is  the  grand  outcome  and 
that  the  whole  world  has  congregated  amid  the  arts,  sciences  and  splendor  of 
modern  civilization  to  do  homage  to  the  Genoese,  and  to  celebrate,  by  an  exhibi- 
tion of  the  handiwork  of  all  mankind,  an  event  second  in  importance  only  to  the 
Beginning,  when  God  said:  "Let  there  be  light  and  there  was  light." 

In  1474  we  find  Columbus  expounding  his  views  to  Paolo  Toscanelli,  the 
Florentine  physician  and  cosmographer,  and  receiving  the  heartiest  encourage- 
ment. His  view  of  reaching  Asia  by  sailing  west  he  supported  with  three  differ- 
ent arguments  derived  from  natural  reasons, •from  the  theories  of  geographers, 
and  from  the  reports  and  traditions  of  mariners.  From  the  colonists  on  the 
Azores  Columbus  heard  of  two  men  being  washed  up  at  Flores,  "very  broad- 
faced  and  differing  in  aspect  from  Christians."  The  transport  of  all  these 
objects  was  attributed  to  the  west  winds  and  not  to  the  gulf  stream,  the  existence 
of  which  was  then  totally  unsuspected.  In  his  northern  journey  some  vague  and 
formless  traditions  may  have  reached  his  ear  of  the  voyages  of  Bjarn  and  Leaf, 
and  of  the  pleasant  coasts  of  Helluland,  Markland  and  Vinland,  that  lay  toward 
the  setting  sun.  All  were  hints  to  bid  the  bold  mariner  sail  westward,  and  this 
he  at  length  determined  to  do. 

The  co-operation  and  concurrence  of  some  state  or  sovereign,  however,  was 
necessary  for  the  success  of  his  designs.  The  senate  of  Genoa  had  the  honor  to 
receive  the  first  offer  and  the  responsibility  of  refusing  it.  Rejected  by  his 
native  city  the  projector  turned  next  to  John  II.,  of  Portugal.  This  King  had 
already  an  open  field  for  discovery  and  enterprise  along  the  African  coast;  but 
he  listened  to  Columbus  and  referred  him  to  the  Committee  of  Council  for 
Geographical  Affairs.  The  council's  report  was  adverse;  but  the  King,  who  was 
yet  inclined  to  favor  the  theory  of  the  Genoese,  assented  to  the  suggestion  of  the 
Bishop  of  Ceuta  that  the  plan  should  be  carried  out  in  secret,  and  without 
Columbus'  knowledge,  by  means  of  a  caravel  or  light  frigate.  The  caravel  was 
dispatched,  but  it  returned  after  a  brief  absence,  the  sailors  having  lost  heart 
and  having  refused  to  venture  farther.  Upon  discovering  this  dishonorable 
transaction,  Columbus  felt  so  outraged  and  indignant  that  he  sent  his  brother 
Bartholomew  to  England  with  letters  for  Henry  VII,  to  whom  he  had  communi- 
cated his  ideas.  He  himself  left  Lisbon  for  Spain  (1484),  taking  with  him  his 
son  Diego,  the  only  issue  of  his  marriage  with  Felipa  Moniz.  He  departed 
secretly,  presumably  to  give  the  slip  to  King  John.  In  one  of  his  letters  Col- 
umbus wrote:  "When  I  came  from  such  a  great  distance  to  serve  these  princes, 
I  abandoned  a  wife  and  children,  whom,  for  this  cause,  I  never  saw  again." 

The  first  traces  of  Columbus  at  the  court  of  Spain  are  on  May  5,  1487,  when 
an  entry  in  some  accounts  reads:  "Given  to-day  3,000  maravedis  (about  $18)  to 
Cristobal  Colomo,  a  stranger."  March  20,  1488,  a  letter  was  sent  by  the  King  to 
"Christopher  Colon,  our  especial  friend,"  inviting  him  to  return  to  Portugal  and 
assuring  him  against  arrest  and  proceedings  of  any  kind,  but  it  was  then  too  late. 

Columbus  then  betook  himself  to  the  south  of  Spain  and  proposed  his  plan 
first  to  the  Duke  of  Mednia  Sidonia  (who  was  at  once  attracted  by  it,  but  finally 
threw  it  up  as  visionary  and  impracticable),  and  next  to  the  Duke  of  Medina 
CelL  The  latter  gave  him  great  encouragement,  entertained  him  for  two  years 
and  even  determined  to  furnish  him  with  the  three  or  four  caravels.  Finally, 
however,  being  deterred  by  the  consideration  that  the  enterprise  was  too  vast  a 
subject,  he  turned  his  guest  from  the  determination  he  had  come  to — of  making 
instant  application  to  the  court  of  France — by  writing  on  his  behalf  to  Queen 
Isabella,  and  Columbus  repaired  to  the  court  at  Cordova  at  her  bidding.     It  was 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  39 


an  ill  moment  for  his  fortune.  Castille  and  Leon  were  in  the  thick  of  that 
struggle  which  resulted  in  the  final  defeat  of  the  Moors,  and  neither  Ferdinand 
nor  Isabella  had  time  to  listen;  but  Columbus  was  kindly  received  and  was 
handed  over  to  the  care  of  Alonzo  de  Quintanilla,  whom  he  speedily  converted 
into  an  enthusiastic  supporter  of  his  theory.  He  made  many  other  friends  and 
here  met  with  Beatrix  Enriquez  the  mother  of  his  second  son,  Hernando,  who 
was  born  August  15,  1488. 

FronvCordova  Columbus  followed  the  court  to  Salamanca, where  he  was  intro- 
duced to  the  notice  of  Cardinal  Pedro  Gonzales  de  Mendoza,  dubbed  by  some  his- 
torians, "the  third  King  of  Spain."  The  cardinal,  while  approving  the  project, 
thought  strongly  that  it  savored  of  heterodoxy,  but  an  interview  with  the  projector 
won  him  over,  and  through  his  influence  Columbus  at  last  got  an  audience  of  the 
King.  The  matter  was  finally  referred,  however,  to  Fernando  de  Talavara,  who,  in 
1487,  summoned  a  junta  of  astronomers  and  cosmographers  to  confer  with  Col- 
umbus and  examine  his  design  and  the  arguments  by  which  he  supported  it.  The 
Dominicans  of  San  Esteban  in  Salamanca  entertained  Columbus  during  the  con- 
ference. The  jurors,  who  were  most  of  them  ecclesiastics,  were  by  no  means 
unprejudiced,  nor  were  they  disposed  to  abandon  their  pretensions  to  knowledge, 
contrary  to  the  navigator's  views,  without  a  struggle.  Columbus  argued  his 
point,  but  was  overwhelmed  with  Biblical  texts,  with  quotations  from  the  great 
divines,  with  theological  objections,  and  in  a  short  time  the  junta  was  adjourned. 
Senor  Rodriguez  Panilla,  the  learned  Salamantine  writer,  holds  that  the  first 
refusal  of  Columbus'  project  was  made  in  the  official  council  at  Cordova.  In 
1489,  Columbus,  who  had  been  following  the  court  from  place  to  place  (billeted 
in  towns  as  an  officer  of  the  King  and  gratified  from  time  to  time  with  sums  of 
money  toward  his  expenses),  was  present  at  the  siege  of  Malaga.  In  1490  the 
junta  decided  that  his  project  was  vain  and  impracticable,  and  that  it  did  not 
become  their  highnesses  to  have  anything  to  do  with  it,  and  this  was  confirmed, 
with  some  reservation  by  their  highnesses  themselves  at  Seville. 

Columbus  was  now  in  despair.  So  reduced  in  circumstances  was  he  that 
(according  to  the  eminent  Spanish  statesman  Emilio  Castelar)  he  was  jocularly 
and  universally  termed  "the  stranger  with  the  threadbare  coat."  He  at  once 
betook  himself  to  Huelva,  where  his  brother-in-law  resided,  with  the  intention 
of  taking  ship  to  France.  He  halted,  however,  at  Palos,  a  little  maritime,  town 
in  Andalusia.  At  the  monastery  of  Santa  Maria  de  la  Rabida  he  knocked  and 
asked  for  bread  and  water  for  his  boy  Diego,  and  presently  got  into  conversation 
with  Fray  Juan  Perez  de  Marchena,  the  prior,  who  invited  him  to  take  up  his 
quarters  in  the  monastery,  and  introduced  him  to  Garci  Fernandez,  a  physician 
and  a  student  of  geography.  To  these  men  Columbus  propounded  his  theory 
and  explained  his  plan.  Juan  Perez  had  been  the  Queen's  confessor;  he  wrote 
to  her  and  was  summoned  to  her  presence,  and  money  was  sent  to  Columbus  to 
bring  him  once  more  to  the  court.  He  reached  Grenada  in  time  to  witness  the 
surrender  of  the  city  by  the  Moors,  and  negotiations  were  resumed.  Columbus 
believed  in  his  mission  and  stood  out  for  high  terms;  he  asked  the  rank  of 
Admiral  at  once,  the  vice-royalty  of  all  he  should  discover,  and  a  tenth  of  all  the 
gain,  by  conquest  or  by  trade.  These  conditions  were  rejected  and  the  nego- 
tiations were  again  interrupted.  An  interview  with  Mendoza  followed,  but 
nothing  came  of  it,  and  in  January,  1492,  Columbus  actually  set  out  for 
France.  At  length,  however,  on  the  entreaty  of  Luis  de  Santangel,  receiver  of 
the  ecclesiastical  revenues  of  the  crown  of  Aragon,  Isabella  was  induced  to 
determine  on  the  expedition.  A  messenger  was  sent  after  Columbus  and  over- 
took him  at  the  bridge  of  Pinos,  about  two  leagues  from  Granada.  He  returned 
to  the  camp  at  Santa  Fe,  and  on  April  17,  1492,  the  agreement  between  him  and 
their  Catholic  majesties  was  signed  and  sealed.  This  agreement  is  familiarly 
known  in  Spanish  history  as  "The  Capitulations  of  Santa  Fe." 

His  aims  were  nothing  less  than  the  discovery  of  the  marvelous  province  of 
Cipango   and   the  conversion   to   Christianity  of   the  Grand   Kahn,  to  whom  he 


40  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

received  a  royal  and  curious  blank  letter  of  introduction.  The  town  of  Palos  was, 
by  forced  levy,  as  a  punishment  for  former  rebellion,  ordered  to  find  him  three 
caravels,  and  these  were  soon  placed  at  his  disposal.  But  no  crews  could  he  get 
together,  Columbus  even  offering  to  throw  open  the  jails  and  take  all  criminals 
and  broken  men  who  would  serve  on  the  expedition;  and  had  not  Juan  Perez 
succeeded  in  interesting  Martin  Alonzo  Pinzon  and  Vicente  Yanez  Pinzon  in 
the  cause,  Columbus'  departure  had  been  long  delayed.  At  last,  however,  men, 
ships  and  stores  were  ready.  The  expedition  consisted  of  the  Gallega, 
rechristened  the  Santa  Maria,  a  decked  ship,  with  a  crew  of  fifty  men,  com- 
manded by  the  Admiral  in  person;  and  of  two  caravels — the  Pinta,  with  thirty 
men,  under  Martin  Pinzon,  and  the  Nina,  with  twenty-four  men,  under  his 
brother,  Vicente  Yanez  Pinzon,  afterward  (1499)  the  first  to  cross  the  line  in  the 
American  Atlantic.  The  adventurers  numbered  120  souls,  and  on  Friday, 
August  3,  1492,  at  eight  in  the  morning,  the  little  fleet  weighed  anchor  and  stood 
out  for  the  Canary  Islands,  sailing  as  it  were  "into  a  world  unknown — the  corner- 
stone of  a  nation." 

After  a  momentous  voyage  land  was  sighted  Friday,  October  12,  1492,  and 
it  proved  to  be  the  New  World.  The  land  sighted  was  called  by  the  Indians 
Guanahani,  and  named  by  Columbus  San  Salvador. 

The  same  morning  Columbus  landed,  richly  clad,  and  bearing  the  royal 
banner  of  Spain.  He  was  accompanied  by  the  brothers  Pinzon,  bearing  banners 
of  the  Green  Cross,  a  device  of  his  own,  and  by  a  part  of  the  crew.  When  they 
had  all  "given  thanks  to  God,  kneeling  down  upon  the  shore,  and  kissed  the 
ground  with  tears  of  joy  for  the  great  mercy  received,"  the  Admiral  named  the 
island,  and  took  solemn  possession  of  it  for  their  Catholic  majesties  of  Castille 
and  Leon.  Had  Columbus  kept  the  course  he  laid  on  leaving  Ferrol,  says 
Castelar,  his  landfall  would  have  been  in  the  Florida  of  to-day,  that  is,  upon  the 
main  continent;  but  owing  to  the  deflection  it  was  his  hap  to  strike  an  island, 
very  fair  to  look  upon,  but  small  and  insignificant  when  compared  with  the  vast 
island-world  in  whose  waters  he  was  already  sailing.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  41 


History  or  the  Exposition 


AT  least  two  persons  claim  to  have  originated  the  idea  of  holding  a  World's 
Columbian  Exposition  in  1892  (postponed  to  1893)=  Mr.  Alexander  D. 
Anderson,  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Trade  at  Washington,  D.  C,  has  a  number 
of  friends  who  stoutly  defend  the  claim  that  he  first  foreshadowed  the  project 
in  an  interview  in  the  New  York  Herald  in  1884.  According  to  the  Washington 
Post  of  December  30,  1891,'Mr.  Anderson  "spent  four  years'  time  and  $33,000" 
in  promoting  the  movement.  That  journal  states  that  Mr.  Anderson  presented 
the  question  in  detail  to  the  citizens  of  Washington  at  a  public  meeting  held  on 
the  25th  of  February,  1886,  when  committees  were  appointed,  headquarters 
opened,  and  an  active  and  vigorous  campaign  inaugurated.  In  April,  1886,  the 
memorial  of  the  committee  was  presented  to  the  United  States  Senate  by  Mr. 
Gorman,  of  Maryland,  and  published  in  full  in  the  Congressio?ial  Record,  diagrams 
and  all.  The  next  step  was  the  transformation  of  the  local  board  into  a  national 
board  of  promotion.  In  response  to  notices  of  appointment  sent  out  Mr.  Ander- 
son received  formal  letters  of  acceptance  from  the  governors  of  forty  states  and 
territories,  the  mayors  of  fifty-five  leading  cities,  176  presidents  and  secretaries 
of  boards  of  trade  throughout  the  country,  and  the  officers  of  thirty  state  and 
territorial  granges,  approving  of  the  movement  and  pledging  their  co-operation. 
In  addition  to  this  the  leading  national  conventions  held  during  1886,  1887  and 
1888,  such  as  the  National  Board  of  Trade,  National  Grange,  American  Bankers' 
Association,  International  Medical  Congress,  etc.,  adopted  strong  resolutions  in 
support  of  the  project.  On  the  16th  of  June,  1888,  Hon.  Perry  Belmont,  of  New 
York,  then  chairman  of  the  Foreign  Affairs  Committee,  submitted  to  the  House 
of  Representatives,  in  behalf  of  the  committee,  a  unanimous  report  in  favor  of 
the  project,  and  designating  Washington  as  the  place.  This  report  (No.  2601, 
Fiftieth  Congress,  first  session)  was  an  elaborate  document  of  fifty-seven  pages 
in  print,  and  contains  the  correspondence  above  mentioned  with  governors, 
mayors,  etc.,  together  with  the  arguments  before  the  committee.  When  the 
Exposition  bill  came  up  for  debate  in  the  House  and  Senate,  due  credit  was 
publicly  given  in  each  body  for  the  leading  part  the  city  of  Washington  had 
played  in  this  patriotic  work.  In  the  House  on  February  21,  1890,  Hon.  Charles 
E.  Hooker,  of  Mississippi,  said  in  the  course  of  his  remarks  (quoted  from  the 
Congressional  Record) : 

"It  is  but  just  to  say  of  these  non-represented  people  of  the  District  of  Columbia  that  it 
was  the  people  of  this  District  who,  long  before  any  place  was  designated  for  the  site  of  this 
Exposition,  established  a  board  of  promotion  and  for  four  years  have  been  earnest  advocates  of 
holding  this  great  Fair  at  the  Capital  of  the  Nation.     [Applause.]" 

In  the  debate  in  the  Senate,  on  the  21st  of  April,  1890,  Mr.  Gorman,  of 
Maryland,  said: 

"I  introduced  the  bill  in  1886,  at  the  request  of  gentlemen  in  this  city  and  the  boards  of 
trade  of  the  city  of  Baltimore  and  elsewhere.  The  whole  project,  however,  it  is  due  to  say,  was 
gotten  up  and  urged  by  a  gentleman  who  is  now  a  resident  of  the  city  of  Washington — Mr.  A.  D. 
Anderson." 

Dr.  Charles  W.  Zaremba,  of  Chicago,  claims  that  while  attending  the 
Centennial  Exposition  at  Philadelphia,  on  the  9th  of  September,  1876,  he 
conceived    the    idea    of    celebrating    the    four    centenary    of    America's    dis

covery  by  Columbus  by  a  World's  Fair,  about  which  he  talked  to  many 
of  his  friends.  In  June,  1884,  he  issued  a  circular,  he  says,  inviting  the 
foreign  ministers  at  Washington  to  confer  about  this  event  in  proper  form. 
Many  and  most  flattering  were  the  replies  received  by  Dr.  Zaremba,  espe- 
cially from  Hussein  Tewfik,  the  Turkish  Minister;  Dr.  Matias  Romero,  the 
Mexican  Minister;  Senor  Amaral  Valente,  Charge  d'  Affairs  of  Brazil;  Senor 
Joaquin  Godoy,  the  Chilian  Minister,  and  others.  The  same  year  he  had  an 
audience  with  General  Porfirio  Diaz,  President  of  Mexico,  and  his  ministers,  all 
expressing  their  gratitude  to  Dr.  Zaremba  for  originating  the  idea  and  making 
it  known  to  the  representatives  of  the  world.  Dr.  Zaremba  was  born  July  29, 
1842,  at  Koenigsburg,  Prussia,  where  his  father  was  a  petty  officer  in  the  Third 
Regiment  of  Cuirassiers,  and  afterward  an  internal  revenue  officer  at  the  city 
of  Memel,  where  Zaremba  attended  the  primary  school  until  1854,  when  in 
October  of  that  year  he  entered  the  military  school  at  Potsdam.  In  1857, 
being  transferred  to  the  Military  Academy,  he  studied  the  higher  branches  in 
connection  with  military  education  and  tactics,  becoming  at  the  same  time  per- 
sonally acquainted  with  the  late  Emperor  Frederick  of  Germany.  In  1859,  he 
entered  the  service  of  the  Royal  Guard  Artillery  at  Berlin,  and  within  ten 
months  was  transferred  to  the  staff  of  Prince  Wilhelm  of  Baden,  who  took  special 
interest  in  him,  and  secured  a  special  permit  for  Zaremba  to  attend  the  lectures 
of  the  Berlin  University.  In  1862,  he  went  to  Moscow,  Russia,  and  while  finish- 
ing his  studies  in  medicine  and  philosophy  he  wrote  a  manual  of  military 
gymnastics  for  the  Russian  army.  In  September,  1865, Zaremba  coming  with  his 
mother  to  Chicago  went  to  St.  Joseph,  Mich.  He  soon  returned  to  Chicago, 
however,  and  practiced  his  profession  as  a  physician  until  the  great  fire.  In  1871, 
he  became  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Chicago  Athenaeum.  Dr.  Zaremba  was 
one  of  the  prime  movers  in  the  Interstate  and  Industrial  Exposition  in  1872  and 
1873.  In  November,  1878,  when  the  International  Commercial  Convention  assem- 
bled at  Farwell  Hall,  Dr.  Zaremba  was  appointed  a  city  delegate  by  Mayor 
Heath.  In  January,  1879,  he  started  with  the  first  Industrial  Excursion  from 
Chicago  to  Mexico,  which  formed  the  entering  wedge  for  American  trade  in  that 
country. 

Dr.  A.  W.  Harlan,  a  dentist  of  Chicago,  first  proposed  Chicago  in  print  as  the 
location  of  a  Columbian  World's  Fair.  His  letter  to  this  effect  was  printed  in  the 
Chicago  Times,  February  16,  1882,  and  he  presented  cogent  reasons  in  favor  of 
the  plan  and  location  he  advocated.  This  and  several  succeeding  suggestions  of 
a  like  character  slumbered  or  were  really  abandoned  for  lack  of  support.  Later 
on  Mr.  Edwin  L.  Brown  made  a  proposition  in  the  form  of  a  resolution  to  hold  a 
World's  Fair  in  Chicago,  which  was  adopted  by  the  local  Exposition  Company. 
In  1885  Judge  Henry  M.  Shephard  instituted  a  similar  movement.  The  greatest 
of  all  Expositions  up  to  that  date  was  then  being  arranged  for  in  Paris,  France, 
and  much  interest  was  manifested  in  this  Exposition  by  the  people  of  the  United 
States.  The  success  of  the  Paris  Exposition  caused  a  revival  of  the  half-forgotten 
project  of  a  great  Columbian  Exposition.  The  press  throughout  the  United 
States  discussed  the  propriety  of  holding  such  an  Exposition.  Chicago's  public- 
spirited  citizens  gave  a  welcome  to  the  idea,  and  at  once  took  steps  to  realize  it. 
The  pluck  of  Chicago's  "I  Will"  at  once  stamped  success  on  the  movement. 
Prior,  however,  to  the  holding  of  the  Paris  Exposition,  Judge  Shephard's  activity  in 
formulating  plans  for  a  World's  Columbian  Exposition  took  shape,  and  he  signed 
a  call  for  a  joint  meeting  of  the  Iroquois,  Union  League,  Commercial,  University, 
Illinois,  Kenwood  and  Standard  Clubs,  to  be  held  in  the  rooms  of  the  Iroquois 
Club,  July  6,  1888,  "  to  discuss  the  advisability  of  holding  a  World's  Fair  in 
Chicago  in  1892  (postponed  to  1893)  and  the  best  means  to  employ  to  carry  such 
a  project  into  execution." 

At  this  meeting  the  following  resolution  was  adopted: 

Resolved,  That  the  representatives  of  the  clubs  of  Chicago  assembled  in  this  meeting  form 
an  organization  in  order  to  hold  a  World's  Fair  in  the  City  of  Chicago  to  commemorate  the  dis- 
covery of  America  by  Columbus  four  hundred  years  ago.

EX-MAYOR  OF  CHICAGO. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  43 

A  second  meeting  was  held  July  13,  and  a  committee  was  appointed  with  full 
power  to  formulate  a  detailed  plan  for  such  an  Exposition;  but  this  movement 
also  proved  fruitless.  The  scheme  languished  and  many  of  the  most  enthusiastic 
lost  heart.  The  proposed  organization  of  the  clubs  was  never  formed,  and  for  a 
year  no  actual  progress  was  made.  Meantime  the  Paris  Fair  was  in  the  height 
of  its  success,  and  that  triumph  no  doubt  stimulated  Chicago  to  renewed  efforts 
for  the  accomplishment  of  a  project  in  which  its  public-spirited  citzens  would 
find  a  crown  to  the  marvelous  work  that  they  had  done  in  transforming  in  a  few 
years  prairies,  marshes  and  huts  into  the  Garden  City — a  city  now  universally 
recognized  as  one  of  the  greatest  in  the  world,  and  which  has  arisen  from  dire 
disaster  of  the  most  destructive  conflagration  ever  known  to  the  proud  position 
of  second  city  in  the  United  States  in  point  of  population,  and,  unquestionably, 
to  the  very  front  rank  in  point  of  pluck,  energy,  enterprise  and  success;  a  city, 
the  possibilities  of  which,  being  in  a  comparative  stage  of  infancy,  bid  fair  to 
outstrip  in  the  near  future,  not  only  the  other  grand  and  marvelous  cities  of  the 
New  VVorld,  but  the  very  European  capitals  themselves,  in  the  onward  march  of 
progress.  Famed  for  its  commerce  and  manufactures;  its  shipping;  its  law  and 
order;  its  bright,  intelligent  and  hospitable  citizens;  its  churches,  schools  and 
university;  its  progress  in  the  arts  and  sciences;  its  health;  its  bracing  and  cool 
summer  climate;  its  grand  and  marvelous  buildings;  its  railroad  facilities;  its 
parks,  drives  and  boulevards;  its  excellent,  economical  and  extensive  hotel, 
restaurant,  cafe  and  boarding  and  lodging  accommodations;  its  handsome 
temples  of  amusement;  its  inviting  and  remunerative  field  for  capital  and  labor — 
all  conspired  to  intensify  the  feeling  that,  aside  from  the  patriotic  motive  of  a 
fitting  celebration  of  the  discovery  of  America,  the  whole  world  should  have  an 
opportunity  of  seeing  for  themselves  what  Chicago  really  is,  and  to  make  of  it 
the  Mecca  of  civilization  at  least  for  this  period.  Soon  every  citizen  from  the 
highest  to  the  humblest  had  become  an  advocate  of  the  enterprise.  So  strong 
did  this  popular  movement  become  that  the  Mayor  of  the  city  and  the  Common 
Council  gave  it  formal  organization. 

July  22,  1889,  Mayor  Dewitt  C.  Cregier  read  the  following  message  to  the 
Council  in  regular  session: 

Gentlemen  of  the  Council:  It  is  the  desire  of  the  City  of  Chicago  to  hold  a  World's  Fair 
in  1892,  and  the  City  Government  will  do  all  in  its  power  to  realize  it.  Without  any  prejudice,  it 
can  safely  be  said  that  Chicago,  of  all  other  cities,  is  the  best  place  in  which  to  hold  a  great  inter- 
national Fair  and  make  it  a  brilliant  success.  Chicago,  indeed,  is  the  city  most  truly  manifesting 
American  life,  American  ideas  and  American  enterprise.  In  regard  to  its  location,  its  railroad 
and  hotel  facilities,  she  has  no  rival.  There  is  sufficient  space  inside  the  city  limits  for  the  Expo- 
sition. The  proverbial  enterprise  and  magnanimity  of  the  citizens  of  Chicago  and  their  unlim- 
ited hospitality,  showing  itself  on  every  occasion,  are  a  sure  guarantee  of  success.  Labor,  time 
or  money  will  not  be  spared.  In  the  face  of  the  organized  efforts  of  other  cities,  I  suggest  that 
an  organization,  representing  all  classes  of  citizens,  be  formed  to  secure  this  great  undertaking 
for  this  city.  DeWitt  C.  Cregier,   Mayor. 

The  Mayor  was  authorized  to  appoint  a  committee  of  one  hundred  citizens 
to  outline  the  preliminary  work  necessary  to  secure  the  Exposition  for  Chicago. 
At  a  subsequent  meeting  of  the  Council  the  Mayor  was  given  discretion  as  to 
the  size  and  composition  of  the  committee,  in  response  to  a  suggestion  by  him 
that  the  committee  be  increased  to  two  hundred.  He  thereupon  appointed  the 
following  :

With  the  announcement  of  this  committee  enthusiasm  for  the  undertaking- 
increased  day  by  day.  Within  three  days  after  the  committee  had  been  appointed 
there  assembled  August  I,  1889,  m  the  Council  chamber  one  of  the  most  represen- 
tative bodies  of  citizens  ever  got  together.  Mayor  Cregier  was  elected  chairman 
and  Thomas  O'Neill  recording  secretary.  The  Mayor  read  communications  from 
all  parts  of  the  West  declaring  preference  for  Chicago  as  the  site  for  the  Fair. 

Resolutions  were  presented  by  Hon.  Thos.  B.  Bryan,  who  supported  them  in  a 
brief  address.  Mr.  Bryan's  enthusiasm  seemed  to  be  contagious,  for  the  grand 
undertaking  thrived  from  that  moment.  To  him,  perhaps,  more  than  to  anyone 
else  is  the  credit  of  the  magnitude  of  the  Exposition  due.  When  other  gentle- 
men lagged  in  their  efforts  he  spurred  them  on;  when  a  paltry  million  or  two  was 
suggested  as  a  plethoric  purse  for  carrying  out  the  plans,  he  it  was  who,  with  his 
keen  perception  and  ripe  experience,  foresaw  the  possibilities  of  an  Exposition 
since  realized,  and  advocated  that  sextuple  such  a  sum  should  be  raised.  No 
pent  up  Utica  restricted  his  ideas  of  an  Exposition  in  keeping  with  the  grandeur 
of  the  civilized  world,  particularly  of  America  and  Chicago.  Some  wise  business 
men  and  able  financiers  thought  then  that  his  ideas  were  Utopian,  but  the  cul- 
mination has  borne  him  out  as  correct.  The  Bryan  resolutions  were  the  first 
official  announcement  of  the  Fair  telegraphed  over  the  country.  The  resolutions 
were  as  follows: 

Resolved,  That  whereas  the  recent  Centennial  celebration  in  New  York  received — properly 
and  with  Chicago's  hearty  concurrence — the  distinct  recognition  of  Congress  and  of  the  chief 
officers  of  the  government,  imparting  to  it  a  national  character,  and  a  like  recognition  and  sub- 
stantial aid  having  been  extended  to  the  World's  Fair  at  Philadelphia  (also  with  Chicago's  hearty 
co-operation  in  and  out  of  Congress),  therefore,  the.  West  feels  justified  in  insisting  upon  its  turn 
now,  and  upon  the  location  of  the  next  great  Fair  in  its  commercial  metropolis. 

Among  the  reasons  in  support  of  that  claim,  the  following  are  presented: 

1.  Chicago's  Refrigerator,  the  lake,  renders  her  summer  climate  more  comfortable  than 
that  of  any  other  great  city  for  an  exhibition  at  that  season. 

2.  Her  exceptional  railroad  and  hotel  accommodations  insure  the  comfort  and  convenience 
of  visitors,  however  numerous. 

3.  A  limitless  supply  of  water  and  the  immense  area  of  the  city  are  adequate  to  all  the 
demands  of  an  exposition. 

4.  Chicago  citizens  have  the  money,  and  the  public  spirit  to  advance  it  freely  in  a  good 
cause. 

5.  Whilst  New  York  is  nearer  to  England  than  to  our  Pacific  coast,  Chicago  is  so  centrally 
located,  with  her  thirty-eight  railroads,  pointing  out  in  all  directions,  as  to  be  accessible  alike  to 
exhibitors  and  visitors  from  every  quarter  of  the  globe,  and  especially  to  millions  in  the  West, 
who  would  be  debarred  visiting  the  Fair  if  held  at  the  seaboard. 

6.  Foreigners,  and,  indeed,  many  of  our  countrymen  at  the  East,  should  have  the  opportu- 
nity presented  them  of  seeing  for  themselves  the  growing  cities  of  the  West,  that  they  iriay  better 
realize  that  the  discovery  of  Columbus  embraced  not  merely  a  narrow  strip  of  territory  along 
one  seaboard,  but  a  mighty  empire  of  almost  limitless  expanse  and  destiny. 

7.  What  more  eligible  location  can  be  desired  than  Chicago,  from  the  fact  alone  that  her 
marvelous  growth,  within  the  memory  of  the  natives,  from  the  frontier  camp  to  the  active  city  of 
over  a  million  souls,  with  a  corresponding  advance  in  commercial,  industrial  and  intellectual 
activities,  can  best  typify  the  giant  young  nation  whose  discovery  the  projected  Fair  is  to  com- 
memorate. 

8.  Men  who  helped  build  Chicago  want  the  Fair,  and  having  a  just  and  well  sustained 
claim,  they  intend  to  have  it. 

These  resolutions  were  unanimously  adopted  and  the  meeting  proceeded  to 
the  election  of  an  Executive  Committee,  of  which  Mayor  Cregier  was  made 
chairman.     The  committee  was  as  follows:

A  sub-committee  of  the  Executive  Committee,  consisting  of  William  Penn 
Nixon,  Chairman;  E.  F.  Cragin,  Secretary;  E.  T.  Jeffrey,  Robert  Lindblom,  Gen- 
eral J.  B.  Carson,  Andrew  McNally,  Thomas  B.  Bryan,  W.  J.  Onahan  and  Charles 
H.  Schwab,  was  appointed  to  name  the  sub-committees  necessary  to  do  the  pre- 
liminary work.  This  committee  met  on  Saturday,  August  3,  when  it  was  decided 
that  ten  sub-committees  would  be  needed  to  attend  to  the  work.  They  were  on 
Finance;  on  Preliminary  Expenses;  on  Congressional  Action;  on  National  Co- 
operation; on  Press;  on  Addresses  and  Local  Agitation;  on  Addresses,  Informa- 
tion and  National  Agitation;  on  Railroads  and  Transportation;  on  Hotels  and 
Accomodations.  Lyman  J.  Gage  was  made  chairman  of  the  Committee  of 
Finance,  with  Charles  L.  Hutchinson,  James  W.  Scott,  Jesse  Spaulding,  J.  Irving 
Pearce,  W.  C.  Seipp  and  John  B.  Carson  as  the  members. 

Chairman  Gage  in  looking  about  for  a  suitable  man  to  take  general  charge 
of  the  two  hundred  committees  or  more  that  were  created  to  solicit  subscriptions 
from  the  various  trades  and  branches  of  business,  appointed  D.  H.  Lamberson 
Superintendent  of  the  Stock  Subscriptions,  and  he  was  requested  to  call  upon 
the  Finance  Committee  for  such  assistance  as  he  might  require  in  the  discharge 
of  his  duties. 

The  Finance  Committee  was  thus  organized  with  authority  to  collect  a  fund 
which  should  be  sufficient  to  cover  all  expenses  and  increase  the  fund  whenever 
necessary,  in  order  that  the  right  of  a  corporation  under  the  laws  of  the  State 
might  be  acquired,  and  to  assume  the  title,  'The  World's  Exposition  of  1892" 
(subsequently  changed  by  the  incorporated  title,  "The  World's  Columbian  Ex- 
position"). A  guarantee  fund  was  subscribed  and  the  Finance  Committee  organ- 
ized as  a  corporation  with  full  power  to  act. 

On  September  19,  1889,  at  a  meeting  of  the  chairmen  of  the  sub-committees 
reports  were  submitted  which  showed  as  subscribed  and  pledged  the  sum  of 
#2,541,810.  Early  in  October  a  special  Sub-Finance  Committee  was  appointed 
with  Mr.  Otto  Young  as  chairman  thereof,  to  specially  push,  in  connection  with 
the  bureau  presided  over  by  Mr.  Lamberson,  the  work  of  subscriptions.  Early 
in  April,  1890,  when  by  the  joint  efforts  of  all  parties  concerned,  the  subscrip- 
tions to  the  capital  stock  had  realized  the  magnificent  sum  of  $5,000,000.  Mr. 
Lyman  J.  Gage,  Chairman  of  the  Finance  Committee,  wrote  to  Superintendent 
Lamberson,  expressing  his  satisfaction  with  the  work  Mr.  Lamberson  had  per- 
formed in  connection  therewith. 

The  committee  was  materially  assisted  by  numerous  committees  among 
every  class  of  citizens,  who  formed  for  the  purpose  of  raising  funds  for  the 
Exposition.  Merchants,  capitalists,  mechanics  and  workingmen  willingly  gave 
time  and  money  to  aid  in  the  work  all  doing  their  share  to  promote  the 
claim  of  Chicago  as  the  site  of  the  Exposition,  a  claim  which  soon  became 
known  to  the  world.  Offices  were  rented  in  the  building  of  the  Adams  Express 
Company,  and  the  Committee  on  Organization  went  to  work  with  energy.  At 
a  meeting  held  August  9,  1889,  Attorneys  Burnham  &  Gookin  submitted  a 
detailed  plan  for  a  "World's  Fair"  to  be  held  in  Chicago  on  the  Lake  Front. 
Thomas  B.  Bryan,  Chairman  of  the  Agitation  Committee,  called  attention  to  the

August  16th  a  request  was  published  in  the  local  newspapers  asking  all 
women  who  wished  to  help  Chicago  attain  its  object  to  attend  a  meeting  at  the 
office  of  Dr.  Fanny  Dickinson,  at  No.  70  Lake  street.  A  number  of  prominent 
ladies  met  and  formed  an  organization  called  the  ''Queen  Isabella  Association." 
Further  action  was  taken  at  a  meeting  October  25th,  at  Central  Music  Hall,  at 
which  it  was  resolved  that  Chicago  must  obtain  the  World's  Fair.  From  this 
time  on  all  classes  of  citizens  acted  throughout  as  if  the  prize  were  already  within 
her  grasp.  Mr.  E.  T.  Jeffrey  was  sent  as  a  representative  to  Paris  to  collect 
material  from  the  Paris  Exhibition.  On  his  return  he  published  a  detailed 
account  of  the  Paris  Exhibition,  its  organization,  and  a  history  of  World's  Fairs 
held  in  the  past.  The  ambition  was  thus  inspired  to  hold  an  Exposition  that 
would  surpass  the  one  held  in  Paris. 

About  this  time  there  was  much  competition  among  several  cities  of  the 
United  States  for  the  prize  which  Congress  would  bestow  in  naming  the  location 
of  the  Exposition.  New  York  was  the  first  outside  city  to  take  definite  steps  to 
capture  the  much  coveted  prize.  July  17,  1889,  the  mayor  of  that  city  issued 
invitations  to  five- hundred  prominent  citizens,  requesting  their  attendance  at  a 
meeting  to  determine  the  popular  sentiment  of  that  city  as  to  the  advisability  of 
holding  an  Exposition  to  commemorate  the  four  hundredth  anniversary  of  the 
discovery  of  America  by  Columbus,  and  the  availability  of  New  York  as  a  proper 
site  of  such  an  Exposition.  The  New  York  Chamber  of  Commerce  took  up  the 
matter  in  a  spirit  which  seemed  to  bode  ill  for  the  prospects  of  Chicago.  The 
press  of  New  York  ridiculed  the  idea  that  such  an  Exposition  could  be  held  any 
where  else,  and  least  of  all  in  a  city  a  thousand  miles  inland.  For  a  time  the 
candidacy  of  St.  Louis  was  pushed  with  considerable  energy.  Upon  the  invita- 
tion of  the  mayor  a  large  number  of  business  and  professional  men  assembled 
August  11,  1889,  and  unanimously  decided  to  compete  for  the  prize,  and  this 
committee  performed  its  work  faithfully  up  to  the  day  Congress  rendered  its 
decision.  Washington  was  also  a  dangerous  rival  of  Chicago.  On  September 
30th,  an  open  letter  appeared  in  the  daily  press  of  that  city  in  which  the  writer 
openly  declared  that  Washington  would  be  able  to  take  the  prize  from  Chicago 
with  ease.  It  was  expected  that  in  the  event  of  a  contest  between  the  other 
cities  all  would  agree  upon  the  capital  as  a  compromise.  St.  Paul  entered  the 
fight  October  1,  1889,  the  Board  of  Trade  assuming  charge  of  the  city's  interests, 
while  her  sister  city,  Minneapolis,  pursued  a  similar  course.  Meantime  numerous 
bills  relative  to  the  Exposition  had  been  introduced  in  the  House  of  Represent- 
atives of  Congress.  On  December  19,  1889,  Senator  Cullom  of  Illinois  introduced 
a  bill  entitled  "An  Act  to  provide  for  the  holding  of  a  World's  Exposition  of 
the  arts  and  industries  in  commemoration  of  the  four  hundredth  anniversary  of 
the  discovery  of  America."  The  bill  provided  that  thirty  days  after  its  adoption 
the  President  should  appoint  exposition  commissioners  nominated  by  the 
governors  of  the  different  States  and  Territories;  that  the  governor  of  the  State 
chosen  as  the  site  of  the  Exposition,  should,  with  the  assistance  of  the  mayor  of 
the  city,  nominate  one  hundred  commissioners  from  among  the  subscribers  to 
the  stock  of  the  Exposition  company,  to  be  formed  for  the  purpose  of  pro- 
moting the  Exposition  project,  upon  the  express  condition  that  the  State  raise  a 
reserve  fund  of  $5,000,000  in  cash  or  equivalent  bonds;  that  the  President  should 
also  appoint  eight  commissionefs-at-large  as  representatives  of  the  Federal 
government,  and  one  from  the  District  of  Columbia;  that  the  Commission  so 
formed  should  be  officially  entitled  "  The  United  States  Columbian  Commission," 
and  that  the  body  should  meet  in  the  capital  city  on  call  of  the  Secretary  of 
State,  and  receive  subscriptions  to  the  reserve  fund  to  the  amount  of  fifteen  mil- 
lion dollars,  each  share  to  be  limited  to  $10.  It  was  further  provided  that  so 
soon  as  the  bill  should  have  received  the  executive  sanction,  the  President 
should  make  proclamation  of  the  location  selected  for  holding  the  Exposition, 
and  inviting  the  nations  of  the. world  to  participate.  A  similar  bill  was  brought 
in  the  House  of  Representatives.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  49 

On  the  2 ist  of  December  Senator  Vest  offered  an  amendment  to  the  Senate 
bill,  directing  that  the  Exposition  be  held  in  the  city  of  St.  Louis.  At  this  stage 
of  proceedings  the  entire  subject  was  referred  to  an  appropriate  committee,  and 
pending  the  final  action  of  Congress  determining  the  site,  the  rival  cities  occu- 
pied themselves  in  pressing  their  claims  upon  the  senators  and  members  of  the 
House.  During  the  month  of  January,  1890,  the  Senate  committee  on  the  Expo- 
sition heard  arguments  from  delegates  representing  the  contestants.  At  the 
first  meeting  of  the  committee  were  present:  Senators  Hiscock,  Chairman; 
Sherman,  Hawley,  Wilson,  of  Iowa;  Stanford,  Eustis,  Farwell,  Kenna  and  Gray. 
It  was  decided  to  hear  the  advocates  of  Chicago  on  January  9th;  of  Washington 
City  on  the  10th;  of  New  York  on  the  nth;  and  to  require  counter  arguments  to 
be  submitted  in  writing  only. 

Governor  Francis,  of  Missouri,  opened  the  discussion  in  favor  of  St.  Louis, 
and  was  followed  by  Hon.  Charles  H.  Jones,  of  the  St.  Louis  Republic,  in  an  elo- 
quent address  which  forcibly  presented  the  advantages  offered  by  that  city. 
Ex-Governor  Stannard  also  spoke  in  the  same  behalf.  At  the  close  of  the  even- 
ing the  committee  resolved  to  pass  Washington  for  the  present,  and  to  devote 
an  entire  session  to  an  audience  of  the  delegations  from  Chicago  and  New  York. 
Meanwhile,  contrary  to  all  expectation,  the  House  Committee  on  Foreign  Af- 
fairs decided  to  proceed  without  delay  to  consideration  of  the  several  bills  con- 
cerning the  Exposition.  This  action  was  regarded  as  favorable  to  the  hopes 
of  Chicago,  and  the  advocates  of  other  locations  united  in  a  strenuous  effort  to 
overcome  this  advantage.  Mr.  Flower,  a  representative,  now  Governor  of  New 
York,  solicited  the  Speaker  of  the  House  to  call  together  the  Committee  on 
Rules  in  order  that  a  special  committee  might  be  appointed  to  take  charge  of 
the  disputed  subject;  but  his  efforts  at  this  time  were  futile. 

On  the  10th  of  January  New  York  appeared  on  the  scene  with  a  formidable 
array  of  talent  and  influence,  gathered  from  every  class  and  profession,  party 
and  sect  of  her  population.  Headed  by  Mayor  Grant  came  a  long  procession  of 
names  famous  in  the  field  and  on  the  forum,  in  finance  and  in  commerce.  Wil- 
liam C.  Whitney,  arm-in-arm  with  Ex-Senator  Warner  Miller,  Burke  Cochran 
and  Elliott  F.  Shephard,  Huntington  and  Inman,  all  fired  with  the  common  pur- 
pose of  achieving  honor  for  their  great  metropolis.  On  the  same  day  the  entire 
delegation  from  Chicago  arrived  in  Washington,  a  goodly  representation,  led  by 
Mayor  Cregier  and  Senator  Farwell;  and  Greek  met  Greek  before  the  Senate 
committee  on  the  morning  of  January  nth,  the  citizens  of  Washington  having 
urged  the  fitness  of  the  National  Capital  on  the  preceding  day.  The  discussion 
was  opened  by  Chauncey  M.  Depew,  and  his  cause  was  pleaded  with  all  those 
arts  of  oratory  for  which  he  is  justly  famous.  Winning  the  assent  of  all  auditors 
to  his  delarations  that  for  the  glory  of  the  country  this  Exposition  must  be  made 
to  excel  any  ever  attempted,  Mr.  Depew  passed  easily  to  the  point  in  contro- 
versy. "As,"  he  said  "the  proper  location  for  a  World's  Fair  in  France  was  Paris, 
in  Italy,  Rome,  London  in  England,  Berlin  in  Germany,  so  the  only  site  to  which 
the  United  States  could  appropriately  invite  a  Congress  of  the  Nations  was  the 
American  metropolis,  the  center  of  trade  and  capital,  and  the  gateway  of  com- 
merce." The  speaker  also  dwelt  upon  the  immense  sum  of  money  that  would  be 
requisite  to  guarantee  the  success  of  so  great  an  enterprise,  and  insisted  that 
New  York  alone  possessed  the  wealth  to  furnish  it.  "Washington,"  said  he  "has 
the  finest  thoroughfares  and  most  magnificent  public  buildings  in  the  world;  St. 
Louis  the  privilege  of  age  and  an  unrivaled  situation  in  the  Valley  of  the  Missis- 
sippi; Chicago  could  boast  a  development  not  equaled  in  the  pages  of  ancient 
or  modern  history;  but  New  York  remained  supreme  and  unquestioned  the 
represenative  city  of  America."  Appeals  of  a  like  nature  were  felicitously  made 
by  Messrs.  Cochran  and  Miller. 

Present  on  behalf  of  Chicago  in  addition  to  the  gentlemen  already  named, 
were  George  R.  Davis,  Thomas  B.  Bryan,  Adlai  E.  Stevenson,  E.  F.  Cragin, 
Walter  C.  Newberry,  John  C.   Black,  E.  T.   Jeffrey,  Frederick   S.   Winston   and 


50  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

others  of  like  character  and  standing.  Upon  Mayor  Cregier  devolved  the  duty 
of  opening  the  case  for  Chicago,  and  it  was  impressively  and  vigorously  dis- 
charged. "We  are  here,"  he  said  "as  citizens  of  our  common  country  to  repre- 
sent a  great  city  of  the  West.  Its  inhabitants  are  impressed  with  the  opinion 
that  the  Exposition  projected  in  honor  of  that  intrepid  voyager,  Christopher 
Columbus,  should  be  held  in  that  section.  I  represent  to  a  certain  extent  the 
people  of  Chicago,  who,  while  ardently  desiring  that  the  World's  Fair  should  be 
held  in  their  city,  share  the  wish  and  determination  of  other  communities,  and  of 
all  true  American  citizens,  that,  wherever  the  wisdom  of  Congress  shall  locate 
the  Exposition,  nothing  shall  be  omitted  to  make  the  occasion  worthy  of  the 
strength,  the  wealth,  the  culture,  and  the  patriotism  of  this  great  government. 
In  any  case  Chicago  will  contribute  her  full  share  that  this  country  may  appear 
before  the  nations  in  a  manner  to  sustain  and  increase  her  renown.  I  am  here 
to  reciprocate  the  expressions  of  genuine  brotherhood  which  it  has  been  our 
pleasure  to  hear  this  morning.  There  is  no  rivalry  but  that  of  friendship  be- 
tween New  York,  the  capital  of  America,  and  Chicago,  the  metropolis  of  the 
great  West.  In  New  York  my  eyes  first  opened  upon  the  light  of  the  world.  It 
is  the  brilliant  star  of  this  continent,  the  flower  of  our  civilization.  Ever  since 
we  became  a  people  New  York  has  been  the  gate  through  which  we  sought  com- 
munication with  the  outside  world.  But  now  there  exists  a  new  country  on  the 
other  side  of  the  Alleghanies,  where  powerful  commonwealths  have  arisen,  where 
population  has  multiplied,  where  the  ground  gives  forth  its  increase  a  hundred- 
fold; and  of  that  bountiful  domain,  Chicago  is  the  Queen"  His  Honor  proceeded 
by  statistics  and  illustration  to  demonstrate  how  capable  Chicago  was  to  meet 
every  requirement  to  be  imposed  upon  the  site  of  the  Exposition,  and  closed 
amid  the  plaudits  of  friends  and  opponents  alike.  Hon.  Thomas  B.  Bryan  then 
offered  a  most  practical  and  cogent  argument  from  Chicago's  point  of  view,  and 
was  succeeded  by  Mr.  E.  T.  Jeffrey,  who  was  also  happy  and  effective  in  his 
line  of  remark.     Here,  for  the  present,  the  case  before  the  Senate  tribunal  rested. 

On  January  16th  the  Committee  on  Rules  reported  to  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives a  resolution  requiring  the  speaker  to  appoint  a  committee  of  thirteen, 
to  which  should  be  referred  all  bills  and  resolutions  concerning  the  Exposition, 
and  which  should  report  to  the  House  a  plan  for  selecting  a  site.  Mr.  Cannon, 
of  Illinois,  moved  that  the  choice  of  location  be  lodged  with  the  Committee  on 
Foreign  Affairs,  and  that  the  committee  be  instructed  to  first  determine  whether 
the  Exposition  should  be  held  east  or  west  of  the  Alleghany  mountains  before 
agreeing  upon  any  city  as  the  site.  Mr.  Hite,  of  Illinois,  supported  this  motion. 
He  said  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Affairs,  of  which  he  was  chairman,  ought  not 
to  be  slighted  in  the  manner  proposed  by  the  Committee  on  Rules;  that  it  al- 
ready had  charge  of  the  bills  referred  to  and  had  given  the  subject  careful  con- 
sideration. Other  members  participated  in  the  debate,  but  no  conclusion  was 
arrived  at.  On  the  following  day,  January  17th,  the  House,  by  a  majority  of  five 
votes,  adopted  a  resolution  authorizing  the  speaker  to  constitute  a  committee  of 
nine  "to  have  charge  of  all  bills  in  relation  to  a  celebration  of  the  four  hun- 
dredth anniversary  of  the  discovery  of  America."  The  following  were  appointed: 
Messrs.  Candler,  of  Massachusetts,  Chairman;  Hite  and  Springer,  of  Illi- 
nois; Belden  and  Flower,  of  New  York;  Frank  and  Hatch,  of  Missouri;  Bowden, 
of  Virginia,  and  Wilson,  of  West  Virginia.  This  committee  held  its  first  session 
on  January  21st,  and  after  a  spirited  discussion,  on  motion  of  Mr.  Frank,  a  sub- 
committee was  appointed,  consisting  of  Messrs.  Candler,  Hite  and  Flower  to 
report  on  the  following  Thursday  on  the  question  of  site.  The  committee  also 
decided  not  to  hear  any  argument  concerning  the  location  of  the  Exposition. 

With  little  delay  the  preliminary  skirmishes  in  committee  were  concluded, 
and  the  battle  royal  began  with  Mr.  Candler's  call  for  the  order  of  the  day,  on 
a  bright  morning  when  the  floor  and  galleries  were  crowded.  To  follow  the  de- 
bate would  consume  more  space  than  can  be  allotted  to  this  branch  of  the  record. 
But  it   is  necessary  to  recall  that  there  was  a  firm,  though  ineffectual  opposition, 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  51 

led  by  Mr.  Mills,  of  Texas,  to  the  project  of  holding  an  Exposition.  However, 
on  the  23d  day  of  February,  Mr.  Candler  concluded  the  discussion,  and  an 
agreement  had  been  reached  that  the  vote  should  be  taken  on  the  ensuing  day. 
The  House  was  packed  to  suffocation  with  the  eager  champions  for  the  com- 
peting cities,  and  the  passages  to  the  halls  were  blocked  with  persons  anxious 
for  early  news  of  the  result  of  the  long  struggle.  The  question  being  on  filling  the 
blank  in  the  bill  with  the  name  of  the  city  in  which  the  Exposition  should  be 
held,  the  House  had  agreed  that  a  majority  of  all  the  votes  cast  would  be  re- 
quired to  determine  the  victor. 

On  the  first  roll  call  (Mr.  Candler  not  voting),  the  number  of  votes  was  an- 
nounced as  305,  making  153  necessary  to  a  choice.  Of  these  Chicago  secured 
115;  New  York,  70;  St.  Louis,  61;  Washington,  58;  Cumberland  Gap,  1.  No 
choice,  and  it  was  evident  that  the  situation  would  narrow  down  to  a  trial  of 
strength  between  Chicago  and  New  York.  The  excitement  grew  intense  as  the 
ballots  proceeded  as  follows: 

Second — Chicago,  121;  New  York,  83;  St.  Louis,  59;  Washington,  46.  Total, 
309.     Necessary  to  a  choice,  155. 

Third — Chicago,  127;  New  York,  92;  St.  Louis,  53;  Washington,  34.  Total, 
306.     Necessary  to  a  choice,  154. 

Fourth— Chicago,  134;  New  York,  95;  St.  Louis,  48;  Washington,  29.     Total, 

306.  Necessary  to  a  choice,   154. 

Fifth — Chicago,  140;  New  York,  no;  St.  Louis,  38;  Washington,  4.  Total, 
312.     Necessary  to  a  choice,  157. 

At  this  stage  there  was  some  anxiety  among  the  Chicago  members  as  to  the 
result  of  the  next  roll  call;  for  New  York  on  the  last  had  gained  15  votes,  while 
her  own  forces  had  been  increased  by  six.  These  fears  were  groundless,  how- 
ever, as  the  sixth  ballot  carried  their  total  up  149,  while  New  York  only  received 
116.  The  managers  for  the  latter  city  now  sought  to  gain  time  to  strengthen 
their  lines,  and  moved  an  adjournment.  The  answer  was  a  chorus  of  derisive 
cheers  from  the  Westerners,  who  now  had  victory  in  open  sight.  The  motion 
was  defeated,  yeas,  138;  nays,  174,  a  test  which  plainly  indicated  the  coming 
event.  Nor  did  the  New  Yorkers  interpose  any  further  attempt  at  delay,  and  the 
clerk  proceeded  for  the  seventh  time  to  call  the  roll,  and  still  no  election,  though 
Mr.  Reyburn,  of  Pennsylvania,  left  New  York  to  swell  the  Chicago  column,  and 
she  lacked  now  only  two  votes  to  consummate  the  triumph.  Then  amid  breath- 
less attention  the  last  vote  was  taken. 

Eighth — Chicago,  157;  New  York,  107;  St.  Louis,  25;  Washington,  18.     Total, 

307.  Necessary  to  a  choice,  154. 

The  long  agony  was  over,  and  the  crown  of  selection  had  fallen  upon  the 
brow  of  Chicago. 

The  week  succeeding  the  action  of  Congress  fixing  the  location  of  the 
World's  Fair  was  one  of  universal  rejoicing  in  Chicago,  upon  which  the  eyes  of 
the  whole  world  seemed  suddenly  turned.  Congratulations  poured  in  from  all 
directions.  Even  St.  Louis  and  New  York  joined  cordially  the  ranks  of  Chi- 
cago's well-wishers.  The  newspapers  of  these  two  cities  found  ready  explanations 
of  the  result.  The  Globe- Democrat  declared  that  bad  management  had  ruined  the 
chances  of  St.  Louis,  while  the  Herald  placed  the  blame  for  New  York's  discom- 
fiture on  the  shoulders  of  Senator  Piatt,  and  assured  him  that  it  would  find  an 
opportunity  to  "get  even."  The  reception  given  the  Chicago  delegates  on  their 
return  from  Washington  amply  repaid  them  for  the  wear  and  tear  of  the  contest. 
They  were  met  at  South  Chicago  by  a  special  train  carrying  a  load  of  welcoming 
citizens,  headed  by  the  mayor  and  aldermen,  and  escorted  to  the  city  in  triumph. 
At  the  depot  the  delegation  and  their  escort  were  met  by  a  multitude  of  cheer- 
ing citizens,  who  joined  in  the  procession  that  wormed  through  the  crowded 
streets  past  the  newspaper  offices  to  the  Council  Chamber  in  the  City  Hall,  where 
the  delegates  were  to  receive  official  public  recognition  of  their  services  and  their 
success.     The  hall  was  crowded  to  its  doors.     The  welcome  address  delivered  by 


52  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

James  W.  Scott,  who  presided,  was  followed  by  such  loud  and  persistent  cries  for 
"Cregier,"  that  the  mayor  arose  and  briefly  recounted  the  difficulties  which  the 
delegates  had  met  and  overcome.  Senator  Farwell,  Thomas  B.  Bryan  and  others 
spoke  of  what  the  citizens  of  Chicago  were  undertaking  in  accepting  the  respon- 
sibility so  valiantly  striven  for.  A  discussion  followed,  which  resulted  in  the  ap- 
pointment of  Messrs.  Gage,  Young,  Walker  and  Bryan  as  members  of  a  commit- 
tee charged  with  the  duty  of  protecting  Chicago's  interests  before  the  special 
committee  in  charge  of  the  World's  Fair  bill. 

On  March  6th  this  committee  was  granted  a  hearing,  Mr.  Candler,  chairman 
of  the  special  committee,  presiding.  Mr.  Gage  and  his  colleagues  were  able  to 
convince  the  committee  that  the  $5,250,000  already  subscribed  by  the  people  of 
Chicago,  was  the  equivalent  of  cash,  and  the  amount  could  be  readily  doubled 
if  the  exigencies  of  the  case  were  found  to  require  it.  And  having  submitted  an 
amendment  to  the  bill  in  accordance  with  their  instructions,  the  committee  re- 
turned to  Chicago. 

March  19th  Mr.  Candler,  on  behalf  of  the  special  committee,  read  to  the 
House  a  report,  of  which  the  substance  is  given  here: 

"By  order  of  Congress  the  city  of  Chicago  has  been  chosen  for  the  location 
of  the  World's  Fair,  and  your  committee  has  accordingly  inserted  in  the  body  of 
the  bill  the  name  of  that  city.  The  bill  as  presented  differs  in  many  essential 
particulars  from  that  first  reported  and  referred  back  to  the  committee.  Two 
commissioners  are  assigned  to  the  Territories  instead  of  one,  and  eight  additional 
representatives  from  the  country  at  large  are  provided  for.  The  national  body 
so  formed  has  been  given  the  title  of  'The  World's  Exposition  Commission.' 
It  is  also  provided  that  this  commission  shall  accept  the  World's  Fair  buildings, 
if  they  conform  to  the  objects  and  uses  had  in  view.  The  original  bill  contained 
a  provision  that  a  minimum  of  five  millions  of  dollars  must  be  subscribed  by  per- 
sons in  good  financial  standing,  and  at  least  10  per  ce?itum  of  that  amount  be  paid 
in,  before  the  commission  shall  be  authorized  to  perform  any  official  function. 
The  bill,  as  now  worded,  is  even  more  cautiously  worded,  and  demands  that  the 
Exposition  company  shall  at  any  time,  when  necessary  for  the  completion 
of  the  work,  provide  that  sum.  The  committee  has  carefully  examined 
the  subscription  list  sent  in  by  the  Chicago  Committee  on  Finance,  and 
concludes  that  the  subscriptions  have  been  made  by  reliable  and  competent  per- 
sons, and  will  be  paid.  *  *  *  The  committee  therefore  deems  it  a  duty  to 
recommend  that  the  World's  Fair  be  held  in  Chicago.  *  *  *  The  sixth 
chapter  does  not  appear  in  the  original  bill.  It  defines  the  duties  and  powers  of 
the  commission,  and  empowers  it  to  assign  space  to  exhibitors,  to  select  the 
judges  for  the  distribution  of  awards,  and  their  assistants,  and  conduct  all  nego- 
tiations with  representatives  of  foreign  nations.  The  second  chapter  empowers 
the  Exposition  company  of  1892  to  change  or  modify  the  plans,  with  the  con- 
sent of  the  commission,  to  fix  the  fee  for  entrance,  and  to  formulate  rules  regard- 
ing the  rights  and  interests  of  exhibitors  and  the  public.  The  eighth  chapter 
provides  for  the  dedication  of  the  buildings  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposi- 
tion on  April  30,  1892.  In  regard  to  the  time  of  the  celebration  of  the  Fair 
there  was  a  difference  of  opinion,  each  member  of  the  committee  reserving  the 
right  to  cast  his  vote  for  such  date  as  may  seem  advisable  after  mature  delibera- 
tion. Chapter  nine  provides  that  the  President  shall  have  ample  proof  of  the 
contribution  of  ten  millions  of  dollars  to  the  stock  of  the  company  before  he 
shall  issue  his  proclamation  of  invitation  to  foreign  countries.  Chapter  sixteen 
limits  the  expenditure  of  government  buildings  at  the  World's  Fair  to  $400,000. 
Chapter  seventeen  restricts  all  expenditures  of  public  moneys  in  this  connection 
to  $1,500,000.  Chapter  eighteen  appropriates  money  for  maintenance  of  the  Na- 
tional Commissioners  while  on  duty,  and  for  the  payment  of  salaries  and  other 
administration  expenses,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury." 

Mr,  Hatch,  of  Missouri,  offered  a  minority  report,  calling  for  better  evidence 
than  had  been  furnished  that  a  sufficiency  of  money  had  been  subscribed  by  Chi-

54  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

cutive  Committee  which  had  prepared  in  advance  a  ticket  of  forty  directors  to  be 
voted  for.  About  noon  the  assemblage  was  called  to  order  by  Mayor  Cregier, 
who,  on  motion  of  Mr.  James  W.  Scott,  was  made  permanent  chairman.  Mr. 
Scott  was  elected  secretary  on  motion  of  Mr.  Robert  Lindblom.  The  chairman  in 
an  opening  address,  said  that  the  proposed  list  of  directors  had  been  made  out  in 
order  to  facilitate  proceedings,  and  not  to  forestall  the  wishes  of  the  subscribers; 
that  the  candidates  submitted  were  men  of  approved  capacity  and  character, 
worthy  to  be  organizers  and  managers  of  the  great  undertaking  now  in  hand; 
however,  that  every  share-holder  was  at  liberty  to  vote  for  the  person  of  his 
choice,  whether  his  name  was  included  on  the  submitted  list  or  not.  Mr.  A.  F. 
Hatch,  attorney  for  the  incorporators,  explained  the  usual  parliamentary  method 
of  procedure  by  such  bodies.  Mr.  Carter  Harrison  offered  a  resolution,  on 
which  he  spoke  at  length,  providing  for  an  increase  in  the  number  of  Directors 
from  forty  to  seventy-five,  in  order  to  afford  adequate  representation  to  the 
West  Side,  constituting  more  than  one-half  of  Chicago's  population.  It  was  not 
necessary,  he  said,  to  exclude  any  of  the  persons  already  nominated,  but  thirty 
more  could  be  added  in  order  to  appease  the  dissatisfaction  of  the  smaller  stock- 
holders, and  to  equalize  representation  from  all  sections  of  the  city.  Mr.  Hesing 
warmly  indorsed  this  motion,  and  urged  that  the  proposed  manner  of  conduct- 
ing the  election  was  unjust  and  impolitic.  The  enterprise  was  one  in  which  the 
honor  and  interests  of  the  entire  community  were  involved,  and  to  support  which 
every  class  of  the  population  was  to  be  taxed.  It  was  not  right  that  an  insignifi- 
cant number  of  subscribers,  representing  a  capital  of  four  millions  of  dollars, 
should  dictate  a  plan  of  operation  to  twenty-eight  thousand  other  stock-holders. 
Chicago,  continued  the  speaker,  is  a  cosmopolitan  city,  made  up  of  the  people  of 
all  known  nationalities,  representing  all  pursuits  and  every  station  of  life.  In 
the  conduct  of  the  Exposition,  which  was  a  public  enterprise  and  could  only  be 
successful  by  being  popularized,  all  the  varied  interests  at  risk  could  not  be 
properly  protected  by  the  forty  gentlemen  so  carefully  selected  by  one  element 
of  the  meeting.  He  pointed  out  that  in  the  ticket  as  formulated  the  South  Side 
had  twenty-six  candidates,  the  West  Side  with  its  preponderance  of  population, 
ten  only,  while  the  North  Side  was  granted  four;  that  the  four  hundred  thousand 
German  citizens  were  recognized  by  the  selection  of  but  two  of  their  number,  the 
numerous  Irishmen  were  given  but  one,  while  the  Scandinavians,  Bohemians, 
French,  Poles,  Italians,  had  been  neglected  entirely.  And  yet,  he  said,  all  those 
had  struggled  earnestly  for  the  location  of  the  Fair  in  Chicago,  and  had  aided 
the  fund  by  their  contributions.  Mr.  Hesing  insisted  on  this  view  of  the  case 
with  frequent  manifestations  of  approval  from  the  audience,  and  he  was  sup- 
ported by  Messrs.  Voeke,  Mitchell  and  others.  Mr.  Harrison  also  indulged  in  a 
spirited  protest  against  the  programme  as  announced.  Mr.  Thomas  B.  Bryan 
restored  temporary  harmony  to  the  meeting,  which  had  grown  tumultuous,  by 
exclaiming,  "Let  us  have  peace;"  and  by  observing  that  "only  the  enemies  of 
Chicago  could  derive  any  satisfaction  from  strife  between  the  stock-holders." 
But  he  sustained  the  view  that  a  majority  of  the  stock  must  determine  all  con- 
tested questions.  It  was  proper  that  the  men  who  had  furnished  the  great 
bulk  of  the  money  should  have  the  controlling  voice  in  its  disbursements.  No 
one  had  ever  heard  of  the  affairs  of  a  corporation  being  conducted  on  any  other 
theory.  At  the  conclusion  of  Mr.  Bryan's  remarks,  Mr.  Hesing  assented  to  a  re- 
quest by  Mr.  Harrison,  and  withdrew  his  appeal  to  the  assembly.  A  vote  was 
taken  on  the  original  proposition  of  Mr.  Lawson  that  forty-five  directors  should 
be  chosen.  The  total  votes  cast  were  300,789  shares;  of  which  246,444  favored 
that  plan  of  organization,  and  64,385  favored  an  increase  of  representation. 

Attempts  were  now  made  to  postpone  the  election,  and  to  submit  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  names  to  the  stockholders,  from  which  the  selection  of  forty  should 
be  made — but  all  were  voted  down.  Nominations  were  declared  in  order,  and 
were  made  to  the  number  of  one  hundred  and  fifty.  Among  the  names  pro- 
posed were  those  of  Charles  Henrotin,  Washington  Hesing,  Warren   Leland,  C.

T.  Yerkes;  but  they  declined  to  be  candidates.  The  roll  call  was  ordered  to  pro- 
ceed, and  while  the  vote  was  being  taken,  various  routine  business  was  transacted, 
and  a  telegram  was  ordered  to  be  sent  to  the  United  States  Senate  urging  prompt 
action  on  the  Exposition  bill.  At  4:15  p.  m.  the  voting  came  to  an  end,  but  it 
was  midnight  before  the  tellers  and  judges  completed  the  count,  and  announced 
the  composition  of  the  directory  as  subjoined:

Wheeler,  F.  S.  Winston,  C.  T.  Yerkes,  Otto  Young,  Cyrus  McCormick. 

April  10th  Mr.  Hatch,  attorney  for  the  incorporators,  obtained  from  the 
Secretary  of  State  a  certificate  of  charter  of  the  Exposition  company,  and  this 
document  was  registered  in  the  office  of  the  recorder  in  Chicago.  The  paper, 
containing  the  names  of  twenty-eight  thousand  stockholders,  was  one  of  the  most 
voluminous  ever  filed  in  that  office,  and  the  fee  for  registration  amounted  to 
$195.00. 

April  1 2th  the  first  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  was  held  at  the  Sher- 
mon  House,  and  a  temporary  organization  was  affected  by  the  election  of  Mr. 
Edward  Walker  as  chairman.  On  the  20th  steps  were  taken  by  the  board  to  in- 
augurate efforts  for  increasing  the  capital  stock  to  ten  millions  of  dollars,  a 
necessity  which  had  already  become  manifest.  By  this  time  the  intelligence  was 
communicated  from  Washington  that  President  Harrison  had  signed  the  Expo- 
sition bill  as  passed  by  both  houses  of  Congress;  and  on'April  28th  the  Pro- 
visional Committee,  having  completed  the  great  preliminary  work  entrusted  to 
their  execution,  held  their  last  meeting,  and  prepared  to  give  an  account  of  their 
stewardship.  Treasurer  Onahan  submitted  his  balance  sheet,  and  Messrs.  Cre- 
gier, R.  A.  Keyes  and  L.  J.  Gage  were  directed  to  report  to  the  Directors  of  the 
Exposition  and  transfer  to  their  body  the  papers  and  other  property  of  the  com- 
mittee together  with  all  moneys  on  hand;  the  directory  to  assume  all  outstand- 
ing indebtedness  of  the  retiring  authorities,  and  the  latter  to  be  relieved  of  all 
further  obligation  as  to  the  two  and  a-half  per  cent,  which  had  been  raised  on  the 
original  subscriptions.  So  terminated  a  chapter  in  the  history  of  the  Fair,  which 
reflected  credit  on  all  who  were  concerned  in  it. 

On  April  30th  the  directors  met  and  proceeded  to  the  election  of  permanent 
officers.     Mr.  Lyman  J.  Gage  was  by  acclamatian  chosen  to  be  president. 

[Lyman  J.  Gage,  who  was  president  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  in  its  formation 
period,  has  a  national  reputation  as  a  banker  and  financier.  Immediately  on  the  organization  of 
the  company  all  eyes  turned  to  Mr.  Gage  as  the  man  of  all  others  to  create  public  confidence 
and  to  give  guarantee  of  the  good  faith  and  strength  of  resolution  with  which  the  people  of  Chi- 
cago had  pledged  themselves  to  capitalize  and  maintain  the  Exposition.  His  name  was  a  tower 
of  strength  in  attracting  financial  aid  to  the  scheme,  and  the  results  of  his  labors  are  notably 
apparent  in  the  preliminary  steps  which  made  the  Exposition  possible.  His  will,  energy,  and 
indeed  his  presence,  seemed  to  be  everywhere  in  the  early  days  of  the  enterprise,  whether  in  en- 
listing the  support  of  capitalists,  in  satisfying  the  skepticism  of  the  timid,  in  overcoming  the 
opposition  of  rival  cities,  in  meeting  the  objections  raised  by  Congress,  in  composing  the  local 
jealousies,  in  exhorting  the  State  Legislature  and  City  Council  to  a  liberality  worthy  of  the  occa- 
sion, in  procurement  of  suitable  grounds  for  exhibition  purposes,  or  in  creating  a  broad,  generous 
and  comprehensive  plan  for  the  reception  and  entertainment  of  the  nations.  When  he  laid  down 
the  responsibilities  of  the  office,  it  is  no  disparagement  to  his  successors  to  say  that  during  his 
administration  the  foundations  of  success  were  laid  deep  and  broad,  and  that  the  Exposition  owes 
an  immeasurable  debt  to  its  first  president.  Born  in  1836,  Mr.  Gage  has  had  an  opportunity  to 
witness  the  various  events  and  calamities  of  the  nation,  and  he  has  been  a  keen  observer.  Hav- 
ing been  a  resident  of  Chicago  since  1855,  he  is  familiar  with  the  financial  growth  and  history  of 
this  far-famed  city,  at  the  same  time  he  has  been  one  of  the  recognized  leaders  in  the  profes- 
sion of  banking.  Before  he  was  elected  president  of  the  First  National  Bank,  his  present  posi- 
tion, he  served  eleven  years  as  cashier  in  the  Merchants'  Loan  and  Trust  Companv's  b^nk. 


58  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

This  long  experience,  together  with  his  natural  talent,  has  eminently  fitted  him  for  the  manage- 
ment of  the  second  largest  banking  institution  in  the  world.  When  Mr.  Gage  resigned  his  posi- 
tion as  president  of  the  World's  Fair  Directory,  he  was  presented  with  a  book  designed  especially 
for  him.  It  is  illuminated  throughout  in  the  style  of  the  ancient  prayer-books.  It  has  fine  hand- 
paintings  of  the  Exposition  buildings,  and  allegorical  representations  of  the  different  industries. 
The  motto  opposite  his  portrait  is: 

"Honor  and  fame  from  no  conditions  rise; 
Act  well  thy  part,  there  all  the  honor  lies." 

The  title  page  is  announced  as  follows:  "Testimonial  and  resolutions  unanimously  adopted  by 
the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  on  the  retirement  of  its  president, 
Lyman  J.  Gage."] 

With  like  unanimity  Messrs.  Thomas  B.  Bryan  and  Potter  Palmer  were  elected 
first  and  second  vice-presidents  respectively.  President  Gage  accepted  the  presi- 
dency in  appropriate  language,  pointing  out  the  magnitude  of  the  task  before 
the  board,  pledging  his  every  effort  to  the  enterprise,  and  urging  harmony  and 
co-operation  upon  his  colleagues.  On  motion  of  Mr.  Schwab  a  committee,  con- 
sisting of  Messrs.  Palmer,  Medill  and  Strong,  was  ordered  to  report  at  the  next 
meeting  on  the  question  of  salaries  and  other  details. 

May  7,  1890,  the  work  of  organization  was  mapped  out.  The  books  of  the 
temporary  treasurer,  W.  J.  Onahan,  were  reported  to  be  correct,  and  a  resolution 
of  thanks  was  tendered  him.  Mr.  Palmer's  committee  reported  and  its  recom- 
mendations were  sustained.  A.  F.  Seeberger  was  chosen  treasurer,  and  W.  H. 
Ackerman,  auditor.  On  motion  of  Mayor  Cregier  a  call  was  authorized  of  $1.80 
upon  each  share  of  stock,  payable  on  the  1st  Monday  in  July.  Mr.  Bryan  se- 
cured the  adoption  of  a  resolution  providing  for  a  general  meeting  of  the  stock- 
holders on  July  12,  1890,  to  consider  the  following  proposals  and  recommend- 
ations of  the  directory. 

1.  To  increase  the  capital  stock  to  ten  millions  of  dollars. 

2.  To. change  the  name  of  the  company  to  the  World's  Columbian  Ex- 
position. 

3.  To  adopt  by-laws  and  approve  the  intermediate  action  of  the  directors. 
After  providing  for  a  Committee  on  Ways  and  Means,  to  consist  of  thirteen 

members,  and  instructing  the  secretary  to  offer  at  the  next  meeting  a  design  for 
the  Corporate  Seal,  the  standing  committees  were  announced. 

The  Executive  Committee  was  to  be  composed  of  the  president,  the  two 
vice-presidents  and  the  chairman  of  each  committee. 

At  this  juncture  the  advisability  of  securing  the  co-operation  of  the  State 
of  Illinois  became  apparent;  in  fact  certain  legislation  was  essential  to  the  pro- 
vision of  a  suitable  site.  On  May  23d  the  directory  adopted  resolutions  submitted 
by  the  Finance  Committee  as  follows: 

To  request  Governor  Fifer  to  call  a  special  session  of  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State 
of  Illinois  previous  to  July,  1890,  to  decide  the  following  questions: 

1.  To  bring  in  a  bill  ror  the  taking  of  a  popular  vote  upon  a  proposition  so  to  amend  the 
Constitution  of  the  State  as  to  allow  the  City  of  Chicago  to  emit  bonds  to  the  amount  of  five  mil- 
lions of  dollars,  to  be  used  for  the  purpose  of  the  World's  Fair. 

2.  To  adopt  a  law  authorizing  the  use  for  Exposition  purposes  of  either  of  the  public 
places  under  control  of  South,  West  or  North  Boards  of  Park  Commissioners  in  Chicago,  and 
empowering  said  Boards  to  issue  bonds  to  cover  the  expense  of  beautifying  said  parks,  res- 
pectively— this  enactment  to  contain  also  such  regulations  as  might  be  deemed  necessary  concern- 
ing the  use  of  the  Lake  Front. 

3.  To  take  the  necessary  measures  and  grant  the  necessary  means  for  a  State  exhibit  at 
the  Exposition. 

June  9th,  the  city  council,  in  response  to  an  urgent  appeal  from  Mayor  Cre- 
gier, supplemented  the  above  by  the  subjoined  preamble  and  enactment: 

Whereas.  The  City  of  Chicago  has  pledged  herself,  by  her  citizens,  to  the  Congress  of  the 
United  States  to  take  care  of  the  holding  of  an  International  Exposition;  and  whereas  it  is  ap- 
propriate that  the  city  (in  its  corporate  capacity)  should  aid  in  this  grand  enterprise  financially 
and  otherwise,  and  insure  its  success;  and  whereas  the  city  possesses  now  no  fund  applicable  to 
the  object  in  view,  therefore, 

Resolved,  That  the  bonded  debt  of  the  city  must  be  increased  in  order  to  provide  the 
necessary  aid  for  this  project;  and  be  it    further.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  57 

Resolved,  That  this  Council  respectfully  requests  the  Governor  of  the  State  of  Illinois  to 
convene  an  extra  session  of  the  Legislature,  and  to  set  forth  in  his  message  as  the  main  object 
of  such  session  an  amendment  to  the  constitution  granting  to  the  city  of  Chicago  authority 
to  increase  the  bonded  debt  by  the  sum  of  five  millions  of  dollars  for  the  purpose  set  forth  above. 

On  the  ioth  of  June  a  delegation  of  directors  proceeded  to  Springfield  un- 
der leadership  of  Vice-President  Bryan,  to  confer  with  the  governor,  and  re- 
ceived prompt  and  cordial  assurance  of  his  co-operation  to  the  ends  desired. 
Accordingly,  on  the  13th,  that  official  gave  out  the  proclamation  and  call.  The 
document  covered  the  ground  suggested  by  the  directors  and  the  city  council 
in  their  resolutions,  and  fixed  Wednesday,  July  23d,  as  the  date  of  the  special 
session. 

The  governor's  proclamation  was  in  "exact  accordance  with  the  resolutions 
given  above,  and  he  gave  the  full  weight  of  his  official  influence  to  the  measures 
proposed;  but  the  Legislature  did  not  at  once  pass  the  enabling  acts,  requiring 
further  information  on  many  of  the  subjects  involved,  particularly  as  to  the  status 
of  the  Lake  Front. 

Up  to  the  meeting  of  the  stockholders  held  at  Battery  "D"in  1890,  the  entire 
structure  rested  on  the  charter  from  the  State  of  Illinois,  in  which  Hon.  DeWitt 
C.  Cregier,  Messrs.  Ferd.  W.  Peck,  George  Schneider,  Anthony  F.  Seeberger, 
William  C.  Seipp,  John  R.  Walsh  and  Nelson  Blake  were  named  as  the  incor- 
porators.    The  enterprise  then  attracted  recognition  by  the  Federal  Government. 

On  the  26th  of  May,  1890,  President  Harrison,  in  obedience  to  the  Act  of 
Congress,  appointed  members  of  the  National  Commission  on  nominations  made 
by  the  Governors  of  the  several  States  and  Territories,  and  the  commissioners-at- 
large  authorized  by  law.  On  the  5th  of  June,  Hon.  James  G.  Blaine,  Secretary  of 
State,  issued  a  circular  letter,  convening  the  first  session  of  the  Commission  at  the 
Grand  Pacific  Hotel  in  Chicago,  on  the  25th  of  the  same  month. 

On  the  26th  of  June,  Commissioner  A.  T.  Ewing  of  Illinois,  took  the  seat 
reserved  for  the  presiding  officer  in  the  parlor  of  the  Grand  Pacific  Hotel  and 
rapped  for  silence  with  a  stroke  of  the  gavel.     Mr.  Ewing  said: 

Gentlemen  of  the  Commission:  I  am  directed  by  the  Department  of  State  to  call  this 
meeting  to  order,  which  I  now  do  in  the  name  of  the  United  States.  I  bid  you  welcome  to 
Chicago,  and  am  sure  that  wisdom  and  unity  of  purpose  will  mark  your  deliberations. 

A  prayer  for  Divine  blessing  on  the  assembly  was  offered  by  Rev.  John 
Barrows. 

Hon.  John  T.  Harris,  of  Virginia,  was  elected  temporary  chairman,  and  R.  R. 
Pierce,  temporary  secretary. 

On  motion  of  Commissioner  McKenzie,  of  Kentucky,  amended  by  Mr.  Wal- 
ler, of  Connecticut,  a  committee  of  twelve  was  ordered  to  be  appointed  by  the 
chairman,  to  report  the  offices  necessary  to  be  filled  to  constitute  a  permanent 
organization.  During  a  lull  in  the  proceedings,  but  while  the  subject  of  an  elec- 
tion of  officers  was  under  informal  discussion,  Mr.  Thatcher,  of  New  York,  read  a 
telegram  from  the  Hon.  C.  M.  Depew,  in  which  that  gentleman  requested  that 
"his  name  should  not  be  used  in  connection  with  the  presidency  of  the  Commis- 
sion, as  he  was  about  to  undertake  an  extended  trip  to  Europe,  etc."  Pending  a 
report  from  the  Committee  on  Permanent  Organization,  the  meeting  adjourned 
until  the  following  day. 

During  the  evening  the  commissioners  were  tendered  a  reception  and  banquet 
at  the  Palmer  House  by  the  Directory,  the  entertainment  being  under  the  man- 
agement of  a  committee,  consisting  of  Messrs.  T.  B.  Paine,  L.  D.  Thoman,  C.  F. 
Cregier,  George  H.  Parker  and  H.  Sheldon.  During  the  festivities  which  ensued, 
Judge  Thoman  presided.  On  his  right  was  seated  Chief-Justice  Fuller,  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States;  on  his  left,  Bishop  Fallows.  Next  to  Judge 
Fuller,  Hon.  John  T.  Harris,  of  Virginia,  sat,  and  in  adjoining  seats  of  honor  were 
gathered  Lyman  J.  Gage,  Judge  Gresham,  Messrs.  Cregier,  Ewing,  Bryan,  Peck, 
and  many  other  notabilities.  The  addresses  delivered  after  the  banquet  were 
remarkable  for  the  unanimity  of  sentiment   which   characterized  them.     Every 


58  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

utterance  bespoke  the  determination  which  pervaded  all  minds,  to  labor  diligently 
and  with  singleness  of  purpose  for  the  common  cause. 

When  the  commissioners  re-assembled,  pursuant  to  adjournment,  on  June 
27th,  Mr.  McKenzie,  from  the  Committee  on  Permanent  Organization,  submitted 
a  partial  report  which  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  which  provided  for  the 
election  of  a  president,  five  vice-presidents,  and  a  secretary;  the  first  vice-presi- 
dent to  be  of  opposite  politics  to  the  president,  and  the  other  four  to  be  equally 
divided  in  politics.  Nominations  being  called  for,  the  office  of  president  was 
filled  by  the  unanimous  election  of  Hon.  Thos.  W.  Palmer,  of  Michigan,  who  was 
escorted  to  the  chair  and  accepted  his  high  duties  in  the  following  language: 

Gentlemen  of  the  Commission:  I  am  profoundly  grateful  for  the  complmient  that 
you  have  paid  me;  and  yet,  in  accepting  the  "compliment,  I  am  infused  with  a  feeling  of  trepida- 
tion as  to  what  it  involves.  Men,  as  a  rule,  shrink  from  the  trials  of  the  unknown,  and  that  gen- 
eral clause  in  the  definition  of  the  duties  of  the  president,  seems  to  me  to  involve  much  more 
than  we  would  suppose  at  a  first  glance.  It  places  a  great  deal  upon  the  president;  and  it  may 
take  a  great  deal  away  from  him.  In  either  case,  he  proposes  not  to  complain.  I  have  heard  it 
said  that  when  the  throes  of  birth  were  not  severe  in  the  delivery  of  a  child,  the  child  was  liable 
to  be  of  little  worth  thereafter.  On  that  account  I  regard  my  election  by  acclamation  as  a  poor 
augury  for  my  future.  If  there  had  been  a  little  more  of  a  struggle,  it  might  have  given  me  a 
greater  experience  of  the  peril,  of  the  hardship  of  my  next  few  years.  In  regard  to  that  distin- 
guished man  whose  name  has  been  proposed  in  connection  with  the  presidency — that  admirable 
Crichton  of  America,  that  man  who  is  always  first  in  finance,  at  the  social  board,  on  the  rostrum, 
or  in  business  life — I  would  say  that  if  he  could  have  been  induced  to  accept  the  position,  I 
believe  it  would  have  given  us  greater  prestige  abroad  and  at  home.  I  telegraphed  to  him  that 
it  had  been  suggested  to  me  that  if  he  were  willing  to  become  a  candidate,  I  would  decline  to 
have  my  name  presented;  but  the  circumstances  were  such  that  Mr.  Depew  felt  that  he  could 
not  give  it  the  time,  and,  therefore,  I  became  a  willing  sacrifice. 

The  Chair  now  awaits  the  pleasure  of  the  Commission. 

[Thomas  Wetherill  Palmer  comes  of  a  sturdy  stock,  his  ancestors  on  both  sides  having 
been  among  the  early  settlers  of  the  continent  which  Columbus  opened  up  to  civilization. 
His  mother's  people  were  Rhode  Islanders,  in  direct  descent  from  Roger  Williams;  and 
her  father,  a  native  of  Massachusetts,  and  one  of  those  who  fought  with  Warren  at  Bunker  Hill, 
was  after  the  Revolution  appointed  by  President  Jefferson  to  a  federal  judgeship  in  the  Territory 
of  Michigan,  and  held  court  in  the  wilderness  while  yet  Tecumseh  was  a  living  terror  to  the 
land.  Thomas,  the  father  of  President  Palmer,  had  birth  in  the  State  of  Connecticut,  but  was  a 
pioneer  in  the  settlement  of  the  Northwest,  and  the  year  1809  found  him  already  on  the  frontier 
line,  conducting  a  lucrative  trade  with  the  Indians  at  the  post  of  Detroit,  where  twenty-one  years 
laterjune  25,  1830,  the  subject  of  our  sketch  was  born.  The  younger  Palmer  literally  grew  with 
the  country,  and  by  the  time  that  his  manhood  approached  Territories  had  become  States,  forests  had 
given  way  to  cities,  society  had  taken  root  in  the  land  of  the  savage,  and  the  spire  of  the  church 
and  belfry  of  the  school  were  rising  from  the  bosom  of  the  prairies.  He  enjoyed  the  benefit  of 
an  excellent  scholastic  education,  was  assiduous  in  his  studies,  passed  through  the  course  at  St. 
Clair  College,  and  took  his  degree  of  graduation  at  the  University  of  Michigan.  Some  months 
were  then  passed  in  foreign  travel,  and  while  abroad  he  made  a  pedestrian  tour  of  Spain  and 
acquired  such  familiarity  with  the  language  and  the  people  of  the  country  as  was  afterward  to 
serve  a  valuable  purpose  to  his  own  government.  Returning  to  this  country  Mr.  Palmer  entered 
upon  mercantile  pursuits,  was  for  some  time  engaged  in  business  in  Wisconsin,  and  subsequently 
conducted  large  enterprises  in  Detroit,  where  he  now  resides.  His  success  as  a  merchant  was 
the  result  of  diligence  and  probity  which  also  secured  the  esteem  of  his  fellow  citizens.  Later  on 
in  life  Mr.  Palmer  became  an  active  participant  in  politics,  acquiring  large  influence,  and  filling 
many  positions  of  trust  with  honor  to  himself  and  to  the  satisfaction  to  his  constituents.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Estimates  of  the  State  of  Michigan,  and  later  served  in  the  Legislature 
for  several  terms  as  a  member  of  the  Upper  House.  Bringing  to  each  and  every  station  an 
enlightened  intelligence  and  strong  sense  of  duty,  he  was  now  chosen  as  one  of  Michigan's  rep- 
resentatives in  the  Senate  of  the  United  States,  occupying  this  high  position  for  the  full  term  of 
six  years.  In  1887  Senator  Palmer  was  chosen  president  of  the  Water-ways  Convention,  held  in 
Sault  Saint  Marie  under  the  auspices  of  the  Duluth  Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  in  that  relation 
rendered  valuable  assistance  to  the  cause  of  inter-lake  navigation.  In  1889  he  was  appointed  by 
President  Harrison,  minister  plenipotentiary  and  envoy  extraordinary  to  the  court  of  Spain.] 

Mr.  Massey,  of  Delaware,  offered  the  following  resolution,  which  was  unani- 
mously adopted: 

Resolved,  That  the  Committee  on  Permanent  Organization  be  instructed  and  directed  to 
consider  the  matter  of  the  several  vice-presidents  and  other  officers  designated  by  their  report  just 
presented,  and  make  recommendation  to  the  Commission  of  suitable  nominees  for  the  same;  and 
before  determining  upon  their  recommendation,  that  they  shall  sit  for  two  hours  to  hear  the 
individual  views  and  preferences  of  such  members  of  the  Commission  as  may  desire  to  address 
them  in  that  behalf. 


HON.  THOMAS  W.  PALMER, 

PRESIDENT   WORLD'S   COLUMBIAN   COMMISSION. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  59 

On  motion  of  Mr.  Kerens,  of  Missouri,  the  Commission  proceeded  to  the 
election  of  a  permanent  Secretary. 

Mr.  Skiff,  of  Colorado,  presented  the  name  of  Mr.  John  T.  Dickinson,  of 
Texas,  which  was  seconded  by  Mr.  Ruoker,  of  North  Dakota. 

Mr.  Dickinson  was  unanimously  elected   secretary. 

On  taking  his  place  at  the  secretary's  desk,  Mr.  Dickinson  made  the  follow- 
ing remarks: 

Gentlemen  of  the  World's  Columbian  Commission:  Permit  me  to  express  to  you 
my  sincere  gratitude  for  the  high  compliment  you  have  paid  me,  and  through  me  the  State  of 
Texas,  which  I  have  the  honor,  in  part,  to  represent  in  this  Commission,  by  electing  me  as  your 
secretary.  I  fully  realize  the  magnitude  of  the  enterprize  which  we  are  about  to  inaugurate,  and 
if  I  did  not  conscientiously  believe  that  I  could  successfully  perform  the  duties  of  secretary  of 
the  World's  Columbian  Commission,  with  credit  to  myself  and  *to  my  State,  and  ultimately,  I 
trust,  to  the  satisfaction  of  this  Commission,  I  would  not  have  been  a  candidate  for  the  honor. 
Having  had  considerable  practical  experience  as  secretary  and  general  manager  of  fairs  and 
expositions,  I  shall  enter  upon  the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  this  important  office,  feeling  always 
the  responsibility  of  the  position,  and  with  the  assurance  of  your  confidence  and  support,  I  will 
endeavor  to  bring  «all  the  fidelity,  intelligence,  zeal  and  industry  I  may  possess  toward  the  satis- 
factory performance  of  the  varied  and  exacting  duties  that  belong,  both  directly  and  indirectly,  to 
the  office  of  the  secretary  of  the  World's  Columbian  Commission.  Again  thanking  you  for  the 
honor  conferred  upon  me,  I  will  now  proceed  to  enter  upon  the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  the 
office.     [Applause.] 

[John  Thilman  Dickinson  was  born  in  Houston,  Texas,  June  18,  1858,  descended  from  a 
sturdy  line  of  ancestors,  who,  on  many  a  hard  fought  field,  poured  out  their  lives  amid  the  fires 
of  martyrdom.  Scotch  history  is  permeated  with  the  name  of  Dickinson,  and  always  in  connec- 
tion with  deeds  of  valor  and  honor.  Early  an  orphan,  Col.  Dickinson  was  educated  liberally  at 
home  and  abroad,  and  graduating  in  several  of  the  Academic  schools  of  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia, in  June,  1879,  received  the  diploma  of  Bachelor-of-Law  from  that  venerable  institution. 
Returning  to  Texas  he  became  one  of  the  owners  and  the  editor  of  the  Houston  Telegraph,  and 
entered  at  once  and  actively  upon  public  life.  In  January,  1881,  while  on  a  visit  to  Austin,  tne 
capital  of  the  State,  he  was  elected  secretary  of  the  House  of  Representatives  of  the  Texas  Leg- 
islature, and  in  May,  1882,  was  elected  secretary  of  the  Texas  State  Capitol  Board  for  supervis- 
ing the  construction  of  the  largest  State  House  in  the  Union  and  probably  the  largest  red  granite 
building  in  the  world.  During  this  time  he  was  also  elected  secretary  of  the  State  Penitentiary 
Board,  and  several  other  State  boards,  and  filled  these  positions  under  three  governors,  Hon.  O. 
M.  Roberts,  Hon.  John  Ireland,  and  Hon.  L.  S.  Ross,  and  also  served  on  the  staff  of  Governor 
Ireland  with  the  rank  of  colonel.  In  1888  Col.  Dickinson  was  elected  general  manager  of  the 
International  Fair  Association  of  San  Antonio,  and  conducted  the  organization  and  preparation 
of  the  Texas-Mexican  Exposition  which  was  successfully  held  in  that  city  in  November  of  the 
same  year.  This  was  regarded  by  the  people  as  the  best  arranged  and  most  attractive  exposition 
of  the  products  and  resources  of  Texas  and  Mexico  that  had  ever  been  held  in  the  State.  He 
remained  in  San  Antonio  as  secretary  and  general  manager  of  this  Exposition  Association  until 
he  visited  Chicago  at  the  time  this  city  entered  the  contest  for  the  location  ot  the  World's  Fair. 
His  services  were  immediately  engaged  and  he  was  sent  to  interview  members  of  Congress  in 
several  States  in  behalf  of  Chicago;  he  met  the  Chicago  committee  in  Washington  in  December, 
1889,  and  remained  with  them  until  Chicago  was  victorious  in  the  contest.  When  the  bill  had 
passed,  creating  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  and  providing  for  two  commissioners  from 
each  State,  Colonel  Dickinson  was  appointed  by  General  L.  S.  Ross,  Governor  of  Texas  as  the 
Democratic  commissioner  to  represent  that  State.] 

On  motion  of  Mr.  Widener  the  following  resolution  was  adopted. 
Resolved,     That  a  committee  of  seven  be  appointed  to  communicate  with  the  local  direc- 
tors of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  of  Chicago,  and  notify  them  that  this  Commission  is 
now  permanently  organized  and  prepared  to  receive  any  communications  they  may  have  to  sub- 
mit. 

The  next  day,  June  28th,  the  organization  was  further  perfected  by  election 
of  the  following  vice-presidents,  from  first  to  fifth,  in  the  order  in  which  they 
are  named:  Thomas  M.  Waller,  Connecticut;  M.  H.  DeYoung,  California; 
Davidson  B.  Penn,  Louisiana;  G.  W.  Allen,  New  York;  Alex.  B.Andrews,  North 
Carolina.  The  next  step  taken  was  to  appoint  a  committee,  consisting  of  Com- 
missioners Smalley,  Kerens,  Bromberg,  Thatcher,  Widener  and  Sewell,  instructed 
by  resolution  to  investigate  and  report  upon  the  following  lines  of  inquiry: 
Whether  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  had  secured  the  legally  prescribed 
amount  of  subscriptions  to  the  capital  stock;  whether,  in  fact,  the  tenth  part,  or 
\0 per  centian  of  such  subscription  had  been  paid  in  by  the  shareholders;  and 
whether  the  corporation  had  instituted  proper  measures  to  obtain   subscriptions

to  an  additional  amount  of  five  millions  as  contemplated  by  the  Act  of  Congress. 
After  this  the  Commission  met  daily  and  were  engaged  in  mapping  out  the 
details  of  a  complete  legislative  and  executive  organization.     During  these  sit- 
tings the  following  resolution  was  adopted: 

Resolved,  That  this  Commission  is  satisfied  that  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  of 
Chicago  has  an  actual,  bona  fide,  and  valid  subscription  to  its  capital  stock  which  will  secure  the 
payment  of  at  least  five  million  dollars,  of  which  not  less  than  five  hundred  thousand  dollars  has 
been  paid  in,  and  that  the  further  sum  of  five  million  dollars,  making  in  ail  ten  million  dollars, 
will  be  provided  by  said  corporation  in  ample  time  for  its  needful  use  during  the  prosecution  of 
the  work  for  the  complete  preparation  of  said  Exposition. 

On  the  3d  of  July  an  adjournment  was  had  to  October  8,  1890,  unless 
sooner  called  together  oy  the  president. 

The  second  session  of  the  Commission  convened  September  15,  1890,  in 
answer  to  the  call  of  President  Palmer.  Reports  were  received  from  the  various 
committees  appointed  at  the  July  session,  and  were  ordered  to  be  printed  for 
future  consideration. 

In  the  discussion  of  a  site  for  the  Exposition,  the  Lake  Front  figured  prom- 
inently as  one  of  the  projects,  and  for  a  while  its  acceptance  seemed  probable, 
but  July  2,  1890,  the  Commission  formally  accepted  Jackson  Park  and  Midway 
Plaisance  as  the  site,  the  Committee  on  Titles  and  Facilities  of  Transportation 
having  given  the  matter  careful  attention.  That  committee  reported  that  "  so 
far  as  the  title  to  Jackson  Park  and  the  Midway  Plaisance  (embracing  633  acres) 
is  concerned,  they  believe  it  is  vested  in  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  by 
the  Act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Illinois  passed  at  its  recent 
session,  and  by  ordinance  of  the  South  Park  Commissioners,  and  is  such  a  title 
as  confers  the  right  to  use  these  parks  as  a  site  for  the  World's  Columbian 
Exposition  during  the  period  required." 

In  October,  1890,  the  Committee  on  Grounds  and  Buildings  appointed  Mr. 
D.  H.  Burnham  as  chief  of  construction,  and  on  December  8,  1890,  the  consult- 
ing architects,  the  consulting  landscape  architects  and  the  consulting  engineer 
formed  a  consulting  board  under  the  chairmanship  of  the  chief  of  construction. 
Late  in  November,  1890,  the  consulting  board,  under  its  instructions,  entered 
upon  the  duty  of  devising  a  general  plan  for  the  Exposition,  taking  as  a  basis 
for  the  study  of  the  problem  the  classified  list  of  exhibits  which  had  been  pre- 
pared by  a  committee  charged  with  that  duty.  The  list,  together  with  such  ad- 
vice received  directly  from  the  committee,  dictated  the  number  and  the  size  of 
the  buildings  which  would  be  required  to  meet  the  intention  of  the  Act  of  Con- 
gress. The  larger  part  of  the  site  to  be  dealt  with  was  a  swampy,  sandy  flat, 
liable  at  times  to  be  submerged  by  the  lake.  Other  parts  were  low  ridges,  which 
had  originally  been  sand  bars  thrown  up  by  the  lake.  Upon  some  of  these  ridges 
there  were  trees,  most  of  them  oaks,  of  stunted  habit  because  of  the  sterile  and 
water-soaked  soil  in  which  they  had  grown,  and  the  extreme  exposure  to  frigid 
winds  from  the  lake,  to  which  they  had  been  subject  to  a  late  period  every 
spring.  The  idea  was  that  there  should  be  a  system  of  navigable  water-ways,  to 
be  made  by  dredging-boats  working  inward  from  the  lake  through  the  lowest 
parts  of  the  site,  the  earth  lifted  by  the  boats  to  be  so  deposited  as  to  add  to  the 
area,  and  increase  the  elevation  of  the  higher  parts,  which  would  thus  become 
better  adapted  to  pleasure-ground  purposes,  and  to  be  used  as  the  sites  for  the 
buildings  of  the  Exposition. 

The  plot  contemplated  the  following  as  leading  features  of  design:  That 
there  should  be  a  great  architectural  court  with  a  body  of  water  therein;  that 
this  court  should  serve  as  a  suitably  dignified  and  impressive  entrance  hall  to 
the  Exposition  and  that  visitors  arriving  by  train  or  by  boat  should  all  pass 
through  it,  that  there  should  be  a  formal  canal  leading  northward  from  this 
court  to  a  series  of  broader  waters  of  a  lagoon  character,  by  which  nearly  the 
entire  site  wou  d  be  penetrated,  so  that  the  principal  Exposition  buildings  would 
each  have  a  water,  as  well  as  a   land   frontage,   and   would   be   approachable  by 


HON.  W.  T.  BAKER, 


EX-PRESIDENT   OF  THE   WORLDS   COLUMBIAN   COMMISSION. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  61 

boats;  that  near  the  middle  of  this  lagoon  system  there  should  be  an  island, 
about  fifteen  acres  in  area,  in  which  there  would  be  abounding  clusters  of  the 
largest  trees  growing  upon  the  site;  that  this  island  should  be  free  from  con- 
spicuous buildings  and  that  it  should  have  a  generally  secluded,  natural,  sylvan 
aspect,  the  existing  clusters  of  trees  serving  as  centers  for  such  broad  and  simple 
larger  masses  of  foliage  as  it  would  be  practicable  to  establish  in  a  year's  time 
by  plantations  of  young  trees  and  bushes.  Because  the  water  in  the  lagoons 
would  be  subject  to  considerable  fluctuations,  it  was  proposed  that  its  shores 
should  be  occupied  by  a  selection  of  such  aquatic  plants  as  would  endure 
submergence  and  yet  survive  an  occasional  withdrawal  of  water  from  their  roots. 

Time  pressing,  the  plot,  with  a  brief  written  specification,  was  submitted  to 
the  corporation,  and,  after  due  consideration,  on  the  1st  of  December,  1890,  was 
adopted  as  the  plan  of  the  Exposition.  Shortly  afterward  this  action  was  ap- 
proved by  the  World's  Columbian  Commission,  and  an  order  given  to  proceed 
with  the  execution  of  the  design.  The  plot  presented  no  studies  of  buildings 
other  than  the  outlines  of  the  space  to  be  occupied  by  those,  ten  in  number, 
which  had  been  contemplated  in  the  instructions  received  by  the  Consulting 
Board  from  the  Committee  on  Classifications.  More  than  two  hundred  buildings 
of  varying  dimensions  have  since  been  introduced,  and  the  process  of  adjust- 
ment by  which  sites  were  formed  for  these,  without  material  departures  from  the 
primary  motives  of  the  general  plan  has  required  the  constant  exercise,  upon 
the  part  of  those  charged  with  this  duty,  of  much  ingenuity  and  discretion.  The 
next  step  was  the  selection  of  architects  to  design  the  buildings,  and  the  com- 
mittee authorized  Mr.  Burnham  to  select  five  architects  outside  of  the  city  of 
Chicago  to  design  the  five  principal  buildings  around  the  court.  Later  Mr. 
Burnham  was  authorized  to  appoint  five  architects  from  Chicago  to  design  the 
remaining  buildings  which  had  been  determined  on.  The  committee  determined, 
however,  to  select  an  architect  for  the  Woman's  Building  by  competition,  to  be 
confined  strictly  to  women.  By  March  1,  1891,  the  chief  of  construction  having 
apportioned  the  work  among  the  architects,  was  enabled  to  form  an  estimate  of 
the  work  to  be  done  by  his  department.  Roughly  speaking,  it  consisted  of  re- 
claiming nearly  seven  hundred  acres  of  ground,  only  a  small  portion  of  which 
was  improved,  the  remainder  being  in  a  state  of  nature,  and  covered  with  water 
and  wild-oak  ridges,  and  in  twenty  months  converting  it  from  a  sedgy  waste  by 
the  borders  of  an  inland  sea,  into  a  site  suitable  in  substance  and  decoration  for 
an  exposition  of  the  industries  and  the  entertainment  by  the  republic  of  repre- 
sentatives of  all  the  nations  of  the  world.  On  its  stately  terraces  a  dozen  pal- 
aces were  to  be  built — all  of  great  extent  and  highest  architectural  importance — 
these  to  be  supplemented  by  hundreds  of  other  structures,  some  of  which  were 
to  be  almost  the  size  of  the  Exposition  buildings  themselves;  great  canals, 
basins,  lagoons,  and  islands  were  to  be  formed;  extensive  docks,  bridges,  and 
towers  to  be  constructed.  The  standard  of  the  entire  work  was  to  be  kept  up  to 
a  degree  of  excellence  wThich  should  place  it  upon  a  level  with  the  monuments 
of  other  ages.  It  meant,  in  short,  that  an  organization  must  be  quickly  formed 
which  should  associate  the  ablest  architects,  landscape  designers,  painters, 
sculptors,  and  engineers  of  the  country.  By  the  summer,  all  of  the  ten  build- 
ings first  designed  were  under  contract.  From  that  time  on,  the  work  of  design- 
ing and  of  construction  was  carried  forward  most  urgently  by  day  and  by  night, 
and  all  arrangements  of  the  construction  department  were  completed  and  in 
readiness  for  the  opening. 

In  October,  1892,  the  title  of  Director  of  Works  was  conferred  on  Mr. 
Burnham  with  enlarged  duties  and  powers  added  to  those  already  exercised  by 
the  chief  of  construction. 

Early  in  the  first  session  the  Commission  had  decided  to  elect  the  director- 
general  upon  nomination  of  the  directors  of  the  Exposition,  and  during  successive 
meetings,  up  to  September  19th,  the  duties  and  powers  of  that  office  were  the  sub- 
ject of  legislation.     On  that  day  President  Palmer,  as  chairman  of  the  Executive 


62  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

Committee,  presented  the  recommendation  by  the  latter  body,  for  the  selection 
of  Colonel  George  R.  Davis;  and  therewith  forwarded  communications -from  the 
Executive  Committee  of  the  directory: 

Chicago,  September  18,  1890. 
Hon.  Thos.  W.  Palmer,  Chairman  Executive  Committee,  World's  Columbian  Commission: 

Dear  Sir:  Acting  under  the  courteous  invitation  extended  by  your  committee  to  this 
board  to  express  its  preference  in  favor  of  one  of  the  several  candidates  whose  names  are  before 
you  for  appointment  as  director-general  of  your  commission,  the  subject-matter  of  your  invitation 
was  submitted  to  our  Board  of  Directors  at  a  meeting  held  this  evening. 

After  some  discussion  a  vote  was  taken,  resulting  in  a  majority  of  the  board  in  favor  of 
Colonel  George  R.  Davis. 

This  may  therefore  be  received  as  an  expression  of  the  preference  of  this  board  upon  the 
question. 

Thanking  you  and  your  committee  for  their  courtesy  in  this  matter, 

I  am,  very  respectfully  yours, 

Lyman  J.  Gage, 
President  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition.  • 

And  Mr.  Sewell,  of  New  Jersey,  submitted  the  following  from  a  minority  of 
the  same  committee: 

The  undersigned  members  of  the  Executive  Committee  respectfully  dissent  from  the 
above  report,  and  present  for  the  position  of  director-general,  the  name  of  General  Daniel  H. 
Hastings,  of  Pennsylvania.  We  believe  that  he  possesses  every  qualification  for  this  responsible 
position,  and  most  earnestly  urge  that  his  selection  will  meet  the  best  thought  of  the  land,  that 
the  Columbian  Exposition  is  in  no  sense  local,  and  in  every  sense  national. 

W.  J.  Sewell, 

E.  Kontz  Johnson, 

A.  T.  Ewing, 

L.  H.  Hershfield. 

E.  W.  Breed. 

An  informal  ballot  was  taken  on  the  candidates  so  named,  and  Colonel  Davis 
received  a  majority  of  all  the  votes  cast,  whereupon  he  was  selected  unanimously 
on  motion  of  Mr.  McClelland,  of  Pennsylvania,  and  a  committee  was  appointed 
to  notify  him  of  that  fact.  Colonel  Davis  having  been  introduced  by  the  presi- 
dent, made  his  acknowledgments  to  the  Commission  as  follows: 

Mr.  President  and  Gentlemen  of  the  National  Commission:  Your  committee 
has  just  notified  me  of  the  distinguished  honor  that  you  have  conferred  upon  me  this  morning. 
The  selection  made  from  Illinois  and  Chicago  is  complimentary  to  the  city  and  State,  and  for  the 
Local  Board  of  Directors,  for  my  city,  my  State,  and  myself  I  siricerely  thank  you.  The  selection 
of  the  director-general  from  untried  men — men  who  have  not  had  great  experience — was  a  task 
for  you  to  perform  in  which  I  most  heartily  sympathize  with  you.  It  is  necessary  in  selecting  a 
man  for  this  position  that  you  take  much  for  granted,  for  an  exhibition  of  an  anniversary  that  comes 
only  once  in  a  hundred  years  leaves  you  but  few  men  to  select  from  who  have  had  great  expe- 
rience. 

In  the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  this  great  office  I  will  bring  to  it  all  the  physical  and  mental 
forces  that  I  command.  The  conduct  of  the  office  shall  be  of  high  grade,  and  it  will  be  my  duty 
to  conform  strictly  and  in  every  detail  to  the  wish  of  this  distinguished  body.  Politics  have  been  • 
referred  to,  and  as  I  understand  the  position  I  desire  to  say  one  word  in  regard  to  that,  and  that 
is  that  I  recognize  that  the  constituency  that  elects  me  here  to-day  consists  of  one-half  Republi- 
cans and  one-half  Democrats.  It  will  be  the  duty  of  an  honorable  man  to  so  conduct  his  office  in 
his  intercourse  with  all  who  come  in  connection  with  him — in  the  appointments  that  he  has  to 
make — to  recognize  that  fact;  and  from  the  fact  that  it  was  a  suggestion  of  my  own,  formulated 
by  myself,  and  favored  by  myself  when  it  was  put  in  the  Act  of  Congress,  recognized  as  "the 
spirit  of  the  Act  of  Congress."  I  will  not,  as  your  director-general,  in  any  way  fail  to  observe  it 
in  every  particular. 

The  office  will  be  conducted  strictly  upon  business  principles.  I  recognize  that  you  require 
in  all  such  officers  as  may  be  placed  under  my  command  the  highest  talent,  the  best  ability,  and 
the  greatest  capacity  that  we  can  command;  that  this  is  a  National  Exposition  and  an  Inter- 
national Exposition  and  not  a  Local  Exposition;  that  we  will  draw  our  forces  from  the  country, 
draw  our  forces  from  wheresoever  they  may  come,  provided  they  are  equal  to  the  emergency. 

The  administration  of  my  office  will  be  an  example,  so  far  as  it  is  possible  for  me  to  make 
it  such,  of  the  application  of  legal  principles  to  business  methods  with  military  discipline. 

I  thank  you,  gentlemen,  for  the  compliment,  and  am  prepared  to  enter  upon  the  duty. 

[Colonel  George  R.  Davis  was  born  in  the  town  of  Palmer,  Mass.,  in  the  year  1840,  the  son 
of  Benjamin  and  Cordelia  (Buffington)  Davis,  the  former  a  native  of  Ware,  Mass.,  and  the  latter 
a  member  of  a  well  known  Quaker  family  of  Connecticut.  George  attended  the  public  schools, 
and  in  other  respects  passed  his  boyhood  after  the  manner  of  New  England  boys,  and  later  pre- 
pared for  college,  graduating  from  Williston  Seminary  at  Easthampton.     This  was  just  prior  to

the  opening  of  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  so  that  instead  of  entering  college,  as  he  had  anticipated, 
he,  at  the  age  of  twenty-two,  responded  to  the  call  for  volunteers,  and  enlisted  in  the  army  as  a 
private  in  Company  H,  Eighth  Regiment  Massachusetts  Infantry.  By  gradual  promotion  he 
rose  to  the  rank  of  captain,  and  in  that  capacity  served  with  the  Eighteenth  Army  Corps  in  the 
North  Carolina  campaign  until  August,  1863.  Resigning  his  commission,  he  now  returned  to 
Massachusetts,  clothed  with  proper  authority,  and  recruited  and  organized  a  battery  of  light 
artillery.  From  this  he  was  soon  transferred  to  the  Third  Regiment  Rhode  Island  Volunteer 
Cavalry,  with  the  rank  of  major,  and  commanded  it  until  the  close  of  the  war  in  1865.  After  the 
war  was  over,  Colonel  Davis  received  an  appointment  in  the  civil  department  of  the  regular 
army,  and  was  attached  to  the  Department  of  the  Missouri,  of  which  General  Sheridan  was  then 
in  command.  He  served  in  the  West  with  General  Sheridan  in  the  Indian  campaign  of  1868  and 
1869,  of  which  the  engagement  at  the  headquarters  of  the  Washita  was  the  most  decisive,  result- 
ing in  the  defeat  and  routing  of  the  famous  chief  "Black  Kettle"  and  his  band. 

Colonel  Davis  was  on  duty  at  the  headquarters  of  General  Sheridan  when  that  commander 
was  stationed  in  Chicago  in  1869,  and  continued  his  connection  with  the  army  until  May  1,  1871, 
when  he  resigned  and  took  up  his  residence  in  Chicago,  where  he  has  made  his  home  ever  since. 
Colonel  Davis  has  always  been  an  active  and  stanch  Republican,  and  since  his  residence  in  Chi- 
cago has  held  a  conspicuous  place  in  the  councils  of  his  party  as  a  recognized  leader.  He  was 
elected  to  the  United  States  Congress  from  the  Second  District  of  Illinois  in  1878,  and  re-elected 
for  the  two  succeeding  terms.  As  a  congressman  Colonel  Davis  naturally  took  a  prominent  and 
leading  place,  and  was  one  of  the  few  of  Chicago's  representatives  to  that  body  whose  efforts  in 
behalf  of  their  constituents  were  crowned  with  success.  Among  the  important  acts  of  legislation 
in  which  he  took  a  prominent  part,  it  is  but  just  to  say  that  securing  a  large  appropriation  for 
improving  the  Chicago  harbor  was  chiefly  due  to  his  efficient  and  faithful  work.  In  1886  he  was 
elected  county  treasurer  of  Cook  County,  Illinois,  for  a  term  of  four  years.  When  it  was  decided 
by  Congress  to  celebrate  the  four  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  landing  of  Columbus  on  American 
soil  by  a  World's  Exposition,  Colonel  Davis  was  one  of  the  foremost  in  the  promotion  of  the 
enterprise.  A  man  of  fixed  opinions,  iron  will,  unfaltering  perseverance  and  unusual  executive 
ability,  he  at  the  same  time  possesses  a  tireless  energy,  and  whatever  he  attempts  stops  at  noth- 
ing short  of  its  attainment.  He  is  a  man  of  great  personal  magnetism,  courteous  yet  dignified  in 
manners,  generous,  kind  hearted  and  genial,  and  has  always  attracted  to  himself  many  warm 
friends.  With  his  splendid  qualities  of  mind  and  heart  he  combines  a  finely  proportioned 
physique,  being  strong  in  structure  and  of  robust  constitution.  He  is  a  handsome  man  in  both 
form  and  feature,  and  a  mass  of  iron-gray  hair  gives  a  distinguished  air  to  an  otherwise  striking 
personality.  Colonel  Davis  was  married,  in  1867,  to  Miss  Gertrude  Schulin,  of  New  Orleans,  Lou- 
isiana, by  whom  he  has  two  sons  and  four  daughters.] 

The  World's  Columbian  Exposition  produced  events,  which,  in  many  cases 
were  co-incident  with  and  in  some  cases  ante-dated  the  proceedings  of  the 
World's  Columbian  Commission  (two  separate  and  distinct  bodies).  Even 
before  the  voice  of  Congress  had  declared  in  favor  of  Chicago  as  the  stage  upon 
which  the  great  Columbian  drama  should  be  enacted,  the  corporate  powers  of 
the  city  were  invoked  to  give  promise  of  such  provision  of  means  and  facilities 
as  would  guarantee  adequate  accommodation  to  the  guests  of  the  nation;  and 
when  that  voice  had  rendered  the  final  verdict,  among  the  most  essential  require- 
ments of  the  situation  was  the  procuring  of  such  enactments  from  the  State  Leg- 
islature, from  the  Common  Council  of  the  city,  and  the  Park  Commissioners,  as 
would  legalize  the  occupation  and  use  by  the  Exposition  authorities  of  the 
public  grounds  considered  most  desirable  for  the  purposes  in  view.  Repeated 
offers  were  made  by  the  directory  to  obtain  the  grant  of  Washington  Park  in  its 
entirety,  but  the  commissioners  remained  firm  in  their  determination  to  reserve 
this  portion  of  the  South  Side  system  for  the  recreation  of  the  citizens;  consent- 
ing finally,  however,  to  extend  their  original  grant  by  the  addition  of  the 
improved  portion  of  Jackson  Park  and  the  Midway  Plaisance,  and  making  cer- 
tain liberal  concessions  as  to  the  preparation  of  the  former.  The  end  was 
reached  on  the  9th  of  September,  1890,  when  the  directors  by  unanimous  vote 
re-afifirmed  their  decision  of  July. 

When  the  first  meeting  of  the  stockholders  was  held  in  April  1890,  bone  fide 
subscriptions  exceeding  $10,000,000  had  been  made,  divided  among  nearly 
thirty  thousand  persons.  After  the  organization  of  the  corporate  body  by  the 
election  of  directors,  the  first  and  most  pressing  task  of  the  hour  was  to  meet  the 
condition  by  which  alone  the  benefits  of  the  Federal  charter  could  be  realized. 
It  was  determined  to  ask  from  the  common  council  of  the  city  of  Chicago  the 
issuance  of  five  millions  of  dollars  in  bonds,  the  proceeds  to  be  applied  to  the 
legitimate  purposes  of  the  Exposition;  and  on  July  23,  1890,  an    ordinance  was 


64  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

passed,  by  a  more  than  two-thirds  vote,  providing  for  the  appropriation  as  asked 
and  asking  the  sanction  of  the  State  Legislature  to  the  ordinance.  At  the  same 
time  the  mayor  was  directed  to  appoint  a  committee  of  five  with  instructions  to 
proceed  immediately  to  the  capital  of  the  State  and  communicate  the  action  of 
the  council  to  the  governor.  A  committee  from  the  Directors  of  the  Exposition 
was  also  in  attendance  at  Springfield  in  furtherance  of  the  desired  legislation. 

On  the  24th  of  July,  1890,  bills  so  to  amend  the  constitution  as  to  enable 
the  cit}*  of  Chicago  to  issue  bonds  in  behalf  of  the  Exposition  were  introduced 
simultaneously  in  both  the  Senate  and  Lower  House,  and  were  referred  to  the 
Committee  on  Laws  in  both  houses.  These  bills  were  drawn  up  by  the  directory, 
who  sought  the  interests  of  the  Exposition  in  the  simplest  and  most  direct  form. 
But  on  the  same  day  Mr.  Berry  presented  to  the  House  of  Representatives  a  bill 
which  differed  from  the  above  in  requiring  a  popular  vote  to  be  taken  on  the  con- 
stitutional amendment  empowering  Chicago  to  increase  her  bonded  debt  to  the 
amount  and  for  the  purposes  set  forth.  This  and  various  other  obstacles  were 
interposed  on  alleged  grounds  of  policy  and  principle.  All  the  numerous  prop- 
ositions having  been  referred  without  debate,  the  whole  matter  came  up  for 
formal  consideration,  first  before  the  Senate  Committee  on  Laws.  Vice-President 
Bryan  advocated  the  original  bill  and  opposed  the  delay  that  would  be  entailed 
by  reference  to  a  popular  vote.  He  held  that  the  constitutional  inhibition  of  sub- 
scription by  cities  to  private  corporations  did  not  apply  in  this  case.  That  the 
object  sought  was  a  great  public  benefit,  one  for  wThich  a  tax  could  be  properly 
levied.  On  the  28th  of  July  the  directors,  in  response  to  the  resolution  of  inquiry 
made  reply  in  substance  as  follows: 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  World's  Columbion  Exposition  desiring  to  respond  in  a  frank 
and  proper  spirit  to  the  desire  of  the  Legislature  for  information,  submit  that  they  have  not  at 
hand,  nor  is  there  at  once  attainable,  the  knowledge  and  the  experience  needful  to  determine  in 
advance  the  details  of  classification  and  arrangement  involved  in  "Exhibiting"  the  "arts,  indus- 
tries, manufactures  and  products  of  the  soil,  the  sea,  and  the  mines  of  forty  or  fifty  thousand 
•exhibitors  from  every  portion  of  the  earth;"  that  the  work  is  colossal  is  beyond  question,  and  not 
to  be  comprehended  nor  mastered  except  as  the  development  progresses.  It  is  deemed  appro- 
priate to  submit  a  brief  statement  of  the  present  situation  of  affairs,  and  to  set  forth  the  relations 
borne  by  the  State  of  Illinois,  the  city  of  Chicago,  and  the  directors  of  the  incorporated  body  to 
the  Exposition.  By  the  Act  of  Congress,  approved  April  25,  1890,  provision  has  been  made  for 
fitly  commemorating  the  fourth  centennial  anniversary  of  the  discovery  of  America  by  an  exhibit 
"of  the  resources  of  the  United  States,  their  development  and  the  progress  of  civilization  in  the 
world."  The  act  declares  that  the  exhibition  should  be  of  a  national  and  international  character, 
and  authorizes  the  appointment  of  a  Federal  Commission,  charged  with  certain  duties  of  super- 
vision and  authority  over  the  enterprise.  That  commission  has  been  duly  appointed  by  the 
President  of  the  United  States,  and  has  entered  upon  its  functions  in  reference  to  the  inaugura- 
tion and  conduct  of  the  Exposition.  The  question  of  locating  the  Fair  developed  upon  Congress. 
Several  States  and  the  capital  of  the  nation  contested  for  the  honor.  Illinois  petitioned  to  have 
the  Exposition  entrusted  to  her  city  of  Chicago,  and  certain  obligations  were  assumed  in  order  to 
•secure  the  favorable  consideration  of  Congress.  As  one  of  the  conditions  precedent  the  citizens 
of  Chicago  were  required  to  provide  a  fund  of  ten  millions  of  dollars  and  produce  satisfactory 
evidence  that  an  eligible  site  for  accommodation  of  the  exhibition  would  be  furnished;  and 
assurances  were  also  required  that  the  State  of  Illinois  and  the  city  of  Chicago  as  the  custodians 
of  the  national  credit  would  carry  into  effect  to  the  extent  of  their  resources  the  spirit  and  letter 
of  the  Act  of  Congress.  The  faith  of  the  State  and  city  was  pledged  by  their  accredited  repre- 
sentatives before  the  world;  and  therefore  Congress  committed  to  Illinois  and  Chicago  the  honor 
so  eagerly  contended  for  by  other  communities;  and  thus  were  the  people  of  this  State  committed 
to  the  duty  and  obligation  of  capitalizing  and  conducting  the  enterprise  in  a  manner  suitable  to 
the  occasion  and  creditable  to  the  country.  The  citizens  of  Chicago  provided  by  personal  sub- 
scriptions five  millions  of  the  requisite  sum,  and  they  pledged  their  city  by  every  assurance  and 
act  which  can  bind  the  conscience  of  a  community,  to  contribute  five  millions  additional.  Legis- 
lation by  the  city  of  Chicago  and  by  the  State  of  Illinois  was  indispensable  to  compliance  with 
the  terms  prescribed  by  Congress.  The  impression  has  been  created  that  in  the  disposition  of 
the  exhibits  some  injustice  may  be  done,  or  is  contemplated,  to  the  agricultural  interests  of  the 
State  and  country  by  divorcing  that  display  from  the  main  body  of  the  Exposition.  The  allega- 
tion is  unfounded  and  unjust  to  the  directory,  which  fully  recognizes  that  agriculture  is  the  chief 
source  of  national  greatness  and  prosperity,  and  as  such  is  entitled  to  conspicuous  prominence 
in  an  enterprise  of  this  character.  The  Exposition  will  be  conducted  as  an  entirety  notwith- 
standing the  discussion  of  a  dual  site.  It  is  the  intention  of  this  board  to  locate  the  agricultural 
and  stock  exhibits  of  the  Exposition,  so  far  as  may  be  possible,  in  the  same  enclosure  with  the 
exhibits  of  machinery,  manufactures,  and  other  leading  interests. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  65 

[Here  follows  a  schedule  of  the  prepared  classification  and  arrangement  of 
exhibits  pertaining  to  the  farming  industry.]  The  document  closed  with  the 
solemn  assurance  of  impartial  administration  of  the  affairs  of  the  Exposition, 
with  a  view  to  do  entire  justice  to  all  classes  of  exhibitors  and  to  achieve  credit 
for  the  State.  It  was  signed  by  Messrs.  Lyman  Gage,  Thomas  B.  Bryan,  Ben- 
jamin Butterworth,  president,  vice-president,  and  secretary  of  the  Exposition, 
respectively. 

On  the  29th  of  July  the  Senate  passed  the  bill  so  amending  the  constitution 
as  to  authorize  the  city  of  Chicago  to  issue  five  millions  of  bonds  in  aid  of  the 
Exposition,  with  the  provision  attached  that  the  amendment  should  be  ratified 
by  popular  vote  before  becoming  operative.  On  the  following  day  the  measure 
in  this  shape  was  committed  to  a  joint  committee  of  the  tvo  branches  of  the 
Legislature.  July  31st  the  House  of  Representatives  took  up  the  subject.  The 
Senate  disagreed  to  a  House  amendment  releasing  the  State  from  all  prospective 
liability  for  the  bonds  to  be  emitted  by  the  city  of  Chicago,  and  then  followed 
days  of  conference  between  the  representatives  of  the  two  Houses  with  no  other 
apparent  result  than  that  of  intensifying  the  differences  between  them.  At  this 
juncture  a  new  cause  of  division  was  found  in  an  amendment  stipulating  that  the 
"  eight-hour  law  should  be  observed  in  erecting  the  buildings  for  the  Exposition, 
and  that  in  the  employment  of  labor  a  distinction  should  be  made  in  favor  of 
American-born  workingmen  and  such  foreigners  as  should  have  previously 
declared  their  intention  to  become  citizens  of  the  United  States."  A  lengthy 
and  heated  debate  ensued  upon  the  introduction  of  this  proposition,  but  it  was 
finally  adopted  in  the  House  of  Representatives  by  a  great  majority.  The  same 
body  also  appended  another  section  to  the  bill  prescribing  a  fine  of  not  less  than 
one  thousand  dollars  for  violation  of  the  foregoing  provision.  As  thus,  and 
otherwise,  added  to  and  subtracted  from,  the  measure  finally  passed  the  House 
of  Representatives  by  a  vote  of  130  yeas  to  16  nays.  The  Senate  then  adopted 
the  measure,  accepting  most  of  the  amendments,  but  rejecting  those  embodying 
the  eight-hour  law  and  referring  to  the  submerged  lands  on  the  lake  front.  The 
House  when  informed  of  this  fact  decided  to  adhere  to  its  position,  and  thus 
matters  of  difference  were  again  submitted  to  a  joint  committee  of  the  two 
bodies.  However,  the  hopes  so  long  deferred  were  now  about  to  be  realized;  a 
spirit  of  compromise  prevailed  over  less  discreet  and  patriotic  counsels;  and  on 
August  5,  1890,  Governor  Fifer  applied  his  signature  to  the  acts  granting  in 
substance  all  that  the  authorities  of  the  Exposition  had  asked  from  the  State. 

The  General  Assembly  thus  swept  away  all  legal  obstacles  to  the  occupancy 
of  the  park;  and  the  seal  of  popular  approval  was  affixed  to  the  lending  of  Chi- 
cago's credit  to  the  aid  of  the  Exposition.  Before  the  year  the  directory  were 
able  to  report  to  the  National  Commission  that  the  sum  designated  by  Con- 
gress was  available  for  use,  and  this  fact  was  forthwith  certified  by  the  commis- 
sion to  the  President  of  the  United  States,  who,  under  date  of  December  24, 
1890,  made  proclamation  that  the  conditions  and  requirements  imposed  by  Con- 
gress had  been  complied  with;  declaring  that  an  International  Exposition 
would  be  opened  in  Chicago  on  the  first  day  of  May,  1893;  and,  in  the  name  of 
the  government  and  people  of  the  United  States,  inviting  "  all  the  nations  of  the 
earth  to  participate  in  the  commemoration  of  an  event  that  is  pre-eminent  in 
human  history,  and  of  lasting  interest  to  mankind,  by  appointing  representatives 
thereto,  and  sending  such  exhibits  as  will  most  fitly  and  fully  illustrate  their 
resources,  their  industries,  and  their  progress  in  civilization."  This  document 
was  enclosed  in  a  formal  letter  of  transmission  from  the  Secretary  of  State  to  all 
the  foreign  governments  with  which  this  country  has  diplomatic  relations,  and 
was  accompanied  by  copies  of  the  regulations  for  foreign  exhibits,  regulations  of 
the  Treasury  department  governing  the  free  importation  of  exhibits,  and  the 
prospectus  of  a  proposed  World's  Congress  Auxiliary. 

This  completed  the  official  functions  by  which  the  Exposition  was  brought 
to  an  active  condition,  and  the  plans  were  ripe  for  execution.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  •  67 

Friday  the  popular  enthusiasm  exceeded,  if  possible,  that  of  the  day  before. 
The  crowds  of  Thursday  had  gone  home  simply  to  restore  exhausted  nature. 
They  appeared  early  the  next  morning  in  as  great  numbers,  and  the  less  con- 
gested condition  of  the  streets  was  due  to  the  effort  of  the  multitudes  to  reach 
the  South  Park  system.  An  inconsiderable  proportion  of  the  people  was  suffici- 
ent to  pack  the  Lake  Front,  fill  the  stands  erected  along  Michigan  boulevard, 
and  border  the  seven  miles'  line  of  march.  The  transportation  companies  going 
south  were  taxed  to  their  fullest  capacity,  as  the  collection  of  600,000  fares  both 
ways  amply  testifies  Fully  250,000  people  were  carried  to  the  parks  on  the 
trains,  cable  lines,  and  boats,  and  the  number  who  walked,  drove,  or  marched  in 
the  procession  is  scarcely  to  be  estimated. 

Promptly  upon  the  firing  of  the  salute  at  nine  o'clock  General  Miles  and  his 
staff  wheeled  in  front  of  the  Auditorium  in  brilliant  array,  the  United  States  Fifth 
Cavalry  close  behind,  splendid  in  military  trappings  of  gold  and  mounted  on 
satin-coated  bay  horses.  The  Governors  of  the  States  with  their  gorgeous  staffs 
seemed  interminable.  At  Twenty-ninth  street  President  Higinbotham's  white 
marble  palace  was  elaborately  decorated  with  the  flags  of  all  nations.  Here  the 
crowd  was  densest,  and  the  enthusiasm  wildest  when  Mr.  "Higinbotham,  Vice- 
President  Morton,  President  Palmer,  and  other  distinguished  guests  entered 
carriages  and  swung  into  the  procession. 

From  this  point  the  line  proceeded,  between  banks  of  spectators,  down  the 
broad  esplanade  of  Grand  boulevard  to  Washington  Park,  where  the  United  States 
Infantry  were  placed.  Here  the  multitudes  wintessed  an  inspiring  scene — the 
military  maneuvers — the  full  panoply  of  war.  It  proved  an  attraction  second 
only  to  the  dedication  ceremonies,  and  amply  repaid  those  who  saw  it  for  hours 
of  waiting. 

While  it  seemed  the  whole  world  was  without  the  gates,  nearly  100,000  peo- 
ple waited  in  the  mammoth  Manufactures'  Building,  seated  comfortably  in 
chairs.  The  immensity  of  the  building  silenced  them.  The  decorations  were 
necessarily  on  a  massive  scale  and  simple  lines.  From  each  of  the  twenty-seven 
trusses,  that  rise  200  feet  to  the  roof,  a  United  States  flag  was  hung.  The  gallery 
at  the  north  end,  reserved  for  the  bands,  was  draped  in  terracotta;  and  the  south 
gallery,  where  the  chorus  was  massed,  was  festooned  with  oak-leaf  ropes  The 
great  stage,  semi-circular  in  shape,  was  draped  in  American  and  Spanish  colors, 
and  hedged  in  with  rows  of  potted  crysanthemums  in  broad  bands.  A  national 
flag  draped  the  desk.  Behind  and  above  the  stage  the  entire  arch  was  a  mass  of 
festooned  flags,  over  which  hung  the  banner  of  Ferdinand  and  Isabella  and  their 
coat-of-arms.  Flags  of  all  nations  filled  every  intervening  space.  But  the  crown- 
ing glory  of  the  decorations  was  the  official  banner  of  the  World's  Columbian 
Exposition  displayed  for  the  first  time.  It  is  triangular  in  form,  divided  evenly 
at  the  staff.  One-half  the  ground  is  blue,  signalizing  Lake  Michigan;  the  other 
half  is  white,  suggestive  of  the  Exposition  buildings;  the  fringe  is  of  dark  gold, 
which,  with  the  white,  makes  the  colors  of  Isabella. 

The  ceremonies  themselves  were  profoundly  impressive  from  the  Columbus 
hymn  to  the  benediction.  The  great  audience  was  lifted  up  to  heights  of  spirit- 
ual vision  to  perceive  the  meaning  of  centuries,  in  which  only  large  events 
loomed  like  mountain  peaks  and  trivialities  were  leveled  and  lost.  The  speakers 
were  inspired  to  the  loftiest  flights  of  eloquence  and  each  one  uttered  sentiments 
as  noble  as  the  deeds  of  which  he  spoke. 

Bishop  Fowler  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  church  invoked  a  divine  bless- 
ing. Director-General  Davis  delivered  an  address  which  was  scholarly  and  clas- 
sical in  its  diction  Mrs  Le  Moyne  read  the  Columbian  Ode,  written  by  Harriet 
Monroe,  the  young  poetess  of  Chicago.  It  proved  a  surprise  in  its  simplicity 
and  strength. 

The  artists  and  architects  of  the  buildings  were  then  presented  with  the 
medal  designed  by  Elihu  Vedder,  and  Mrs.  Potter  Palmer  advanced  to  the  desk 
calm  and  smiling.     She  delivered  an  address  replete  with  oratory  and  in  a  man- 


68  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

ner  at  once  pleasing  and  easy.  In  her  remarks  she  gave  a  lucid  account  of  the 
initiatory  steps  taken  by  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers  without  touching  upon 
politics,  suffrage  or  other  irrelevant  issues,  and  foreshadowed  the  work  the 
board  would  do  in  the  formation  of  a  public  sentiment,  which  will  favor  woman's 
industrial  equality,  and  her  receiving  just  compensation  for  services  rendered; 
to  secure  for  her  work  the  consideration  and  respect  which  it  deserves,  and  es- 
tablish her  importance  as  an  economic  factor.  She  closed  by  expressing  thanks 
to  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  for  having  made  this  great  step  forward 
and  also  for  having  subsequently  approved  and  indorsed  the  plans  of  the  Board 
of  Lady  Managers,  as  was  manifested  by  their  liberal  appropriation  for  carrying 
them  out;  her  appreciation  of  the  assistance  given  by  the  President  of  the  United 
States,  the  Department  of  State,  and  our  foreign  ministers,  and  hoped  to  have 
occasion  to  thank  all  the  other  great  departments  of  the  Government  before  the 
work  was  finished.  No  speech  was  more  generously  received  than  Mrs.  Palmer's 
dedicatory  remarks,  and  none  elicited  more  favorable  comments  from  the  public 
press. 

President  Higinbotham,  on  behalf  of  the  Local  Directory,  tendered  the 
buildings  to  the  National  Commission,  which  President  Palmer  accepted  and  in 
his  turn  bestowed  upon  the  Nation  in  an  appropriate  speech. 

In  the  absence  of  President  Harrison,  the  cause  for  which  he  deeply  de- 
plored, Vice-President  Morton  accepted  the  buildings  for  the  United  States. 

Impressive  as  these  talks  were,  they  made  no  pretense  to  oratory.  When 
Mr.  Henry  Watterson  came  down  the  rostrum  cheers  rose.  Strong  as  was  the 
voice  of  the  Kentuckian,  it  failed  to  fill  the  vast  auditorium.  Only  a  trumpet 
could  have  done  that.  But  back  to  the  walls  the  people  cheered  both  him  and 
Mr.  Depew  whenever  the  front  rows  applauded. 

Almost  before  the  applause  died  the  chorus  of  5,000  voices  rendered  "In 
Praise  of  God,"  Beethoven's  anthem,  followed  by  the  benediction,  by  Rev.  H.  C. 
McCook  of  Philadelphia.  The  solemn  "Amen"  of  the  speaker  was  thundered  to 
the  skies  in  the  deep  roar  of  the  artillery,  and  the  crowd  dispersed  to  the  mighty 
voice  of  the  National  salute. 

The  pyrotechnics  at  night  closed  the  ceremonies  of  dedication.  Promptly 
at  8  o'clock  the  flash-light  from  the  Manufactures  Building  gave  the  signal.  The 
next  instant  three  bombs  burst  simultaneously  in  Washington,  Lincoln  and  Gar- 
field Parks,  cut  long,  curving  streaks  of  light  to  the  zenith,  and  fell  in  glittering 
rainbow-colored  balls  like  the  jeweled  ribs  of  a  vast  umbrella  above  the  heart  of 
the  city.  Then  a  hundred  balloons  were  loosed  from  their  moorings  in  each 
park,  and  when  in  mid-air  discharged  rockets  which  changed  to  glowing  bub- 
bles of  vari-colored  fire. 

From  the  time  of  the  dedication  of  the  buildings  and  the  formal  transfer  of 
them  to  the  authorities  of  the  United  States  increased  activity  in  the  work  was 
noticeable.  Upward  of  10,000  workmen  and  employes  were  scattered  over  the 
"White  City,"  and  at  every  unfinished  building  the  work  seemed  to  be  in  semi- 
suspense,  or  to  have  the  air  of  an  industrial  festival.  Deliberation  was  the  order 
of  the  day,  flavored,  however,  with  eager  interest  and  willingness.  Good  wages, 
a  little  above  the  market  rates,  were  a  healthy  incentive,  and  every  mechanic 
with  a  spark  of  fire  in  his  nature  must  have  been  quickened  by  the  magnificence 
of  his  task.  Also  deliberation  was  a  necessity  in  three-fourths  of  the  work, 
which  required  caution  as  well  as  judgment;  for  many  aerial  gymnasts  were 
perched  from  60  to  260  feet  in  the  air.  Sky  generalship  of  a  high  order  was  to 
be  seen  under  the  arching  roof  of  the  great  buildings.  Here,  after  months  of 
patient  lifting  and  fitting  of  unprecedented  weights  at  great  heights,  each  man 
had  grown  to  know  his  duty  intimately.  From  some  lofty  perch  the  foreman  of 
a  gang  would  conduct  his  men  somewhat  after  the  manner  of  the  leader  of  an 
orchestra.  Whenever  he  fell  short  of  the  mark  he  would  shout  his  general  order 
to  an  assistant  half-way  down,  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  span,  and  the  latter 
would  give  fuller  instruction  to  another  assistant  on  the  floor.     After  each  move 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  69 

all  eyes  would  turn  to  the  directing  mind  aloft.  Under  those  roofs  feats  were 
accomplished  worthy  to  have  called  forth  a  "wild  surmise"  from  the  Egyptians 
who  piled  the  pyramids. 

Manual  labor  also  has  its  victory  in  these  monumental  buildings,  and  no 
doubt  the  descendants  of  those  skillful  artisans  will  preserve  the  tradition  of 
their  labors  at  the  Exposition.  Considering  the  chances  for  fomenting  strikes, 
the  bickerings  have  been  slight  and  of  only  short  duration.  Every  legitimate 
and  reasonable  position  taken  by  organized  labor  was  carefully  considered  by  the 
Exposition  authorities,  and  by  them  given  respectful  consideration.  Strikes  did 
occur,  but  they  were  not  of  a  serious  character,  and  all  differences  were  settled 
on  a  fair  and  amicable  basis  shortly  after  they  arose. 

Looking  now  somewhat  into  the  future  the  question  arises,  "Will  it  pay?" 
Liberal  ideas  have  controlled  the  pursestrings,  yet  the  financial  problem  has  been 
handled  with  economy,  and  even  with  thrift.  With  the  exception  of  the  first 
London  exhibition  of  1851,  world's  fairs  have  been  a  costly  luxury  to  their  pa- 
trons; that  fair,  in  covered  area,  was  less  than  one-fifth  the  size  of  the  Columbian 
Exposition;  it  was  open  144  days,  and  the  receipts  almost  doubled  the  expenses. 
In  1867  Louis  Napoleon  opened  his  second  Paris  Exposition,  and,  considering 
its  success  as  a  "dazzler,"  did  not  probably  begrudge  the  wide  difference  between 
the  expenses,  which  were  $4,000,000,  and  the  receipts,  which  amounted  to 
-$2,100,000.  Eleven  millions  was  spent  on  the  Vienna  Exposition  of  1873,  and 
ten  millions  of  it  went  into  the  financial  crash  that  it  heralded.  Under  repub- 
lican management,  Paris,  in  1889,  produced  a  remarkable  fair,  a  third  larger  than 
the  Vienna  Exposition,  with  the  same  outlay,  and  with  a  satisfactory  income. 
Like  the  Philadelphia  Centennial,  the  Parisian  fair  with  its  buildings  covered 
only  one-half  the  space  of  the  Columbian  Exposition.  At  Philadelphia  the 
receipts  ($3,800,000)  fell  nearly  60  per  cent,  short  of  the  cost,  which  was  $8,500,- 
OOO.  Circumstances  and  conditions  are  different,  however,  regarding  this  Expo- 
sition. From  its  very  inception  local  pride  and  able  financiering  were  enlisted 
in  the  problem  of  making  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  pay  expenses; 
more  is  not  asked.  Nearly  all  the  subscriptions  to  the  capital  stock  were  given 
as  a  token  of  public  spirit.  When  it  became  apparent  in  the  spring  of  1892  that 
the  $14,000,000  or  $15,000,000  then  in  sight  would  not  complete  the  grounds 
and  buildings  on  the  scale  that  had  been  adopted  to  a  point  where  it  was 
impossible  to  turn  back,  the  management  appeared  before  Congress  asking  for 
a  loan  of  $5,000,000.  Congress  declined  the  loan,  yet  gave  $2,500,000  in  souvenir 
coins.  By  the  simple  process  of  holding  these  coins  at  a  premium  of  100  per 
cent,  the  managers  realized  the  full  $5,000,000  from  the  kindly  act  of  Congress, 
and  increased  the  available  funds  to  $20,000,000. 

Up  to  April  I,  1893,  there  had  been  expended  $16,708,826.48 — a  sum  equal  to 
twice  the  cost  of  the  Paris  Exposition. 

Of  this  amount  $14,411,506.74  has  gone  into  the  buildings.  That  amount 
represents  every  feature  of  construction  at  Jackson  Park,  including  the  prepera- 
tion  of  the  site  and  the  cost  of  labor.  General  expenses,  which  include  every- 
thing outside  of  construction,  are  figured  at  $2,206,644.  This  includes  all  salaries 
and  almost  every  kind  of  incidentals.  One  of  these  items  is  $12,975  f°r  remov- 
ing ice  and  snow.  From  this  it  will  be  seen  that  the  storms  which  enveloped 
the  roofs  last  winter  did  considerable  damage.  The  dedication  ceremonies  cost 
#221,158.  The  opening  ceremonies  cost  but  $5,000.  It  cost  $108,000  to  han- 
dle the  souvenir  coins.  Traveling  expenses  have  been  $25,558,  and  the  item 
of  uniforms  reaches  $12,592,  though  this  will  be  repaid.  The  stationery  and 
printing  bills  are  $49,925,  and  postage  stamps  have  cost  $52,684.  Insurance  com- 
panies have  received  $72,000  in  premiums.  Janitors  have  drawn  $34,690  for  their 
services.  The  cost  of  furniture  and  fixtures  for  the  orifices  reaches  the  sum  of 
#43,781  and  the  rent  bill  has  amounted  to  $58,124.  The  salaries  of  clerks  has 
netted  $264,754  and  the  salaries  of  officers  $260,938.  The  pay-roll  for  March 
shows  that  4,124  persons  drew  salaries  and  wages   amounting  to  $314,425,  or  an 


70  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

average  compensation  of  $76.24  per  month  or  $2.46  per  day.  Contracts  for  con- 
struction purposes  amounted  to  $12,469,201  up  to  the  1st  ultimo,  of  which  $2,361,- 
263.37  was  t°  be  paid.  The  total  receipts  up  to  April  1st  were  $17,496,432.16,  of 
which  there  was  a  cash  balance  of  $626,396.58  on  hand.  If  all  goes  well  with  the 
estimates  from  gate  receipts,  concessions,  salvage,  etc.  (and  all  indications  point 
to  success),  the  auditor's  ledger  at  the  wind-up  will  no  doubt  show  a  balance  to 
the  credit  of  the  enterprise. 

A  large  portion  of  the  funds  have  come  from  Chicago  or  corporations  doing 
business  in  this  city;  $5,500,000  have  been  subscribed  here  in  capital  stock; 
$5,000,000  were  given  by  the  city  of  Chicago;  when  it  became  necessary  to  put 
up  $5,000,000  worth  of  bonds  on  the  market,  forty-four  Chicago  banks  subscribed 
for  $2,314,000,  and  twelve  railroads  with  terminals  here  took  another  $1,000,000, 
making  practical^  $15,000,000  raised  in  Chicago. 

The  United  States  government  has  contributed  $1,500,000  originally;  $2,500,- 
000  in  souvenir  half  dollars;  $408,250  for  construction  of  the  United  States  Build- 
ing; $151,750  for  the  maintenance  of  the  United  States  Government  exhibit ; 
$20,000  to  enable  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  to  pay  the  expenses  of  receiving- 
foreign  goods  for  the  Exposition;  $103,000  for  medals  and  diplomas;  $688,625 
for  salaries,  etc.,  of  the  National  Commission,  including  the  fiscal  year,  ending- 
June  30,  1894,  making  a  total  for  all  purposes  of  $5,371,625. 

The  total  appropriations  made  by  foreign  countries  approximate  $7,000,000; 
by  the  states  and  territories,  $6,000,000. 

After  the  buildings  were  practically  finished  the  herculean  task  of  instal- 
lation came  next.  Exhibitors  were  slow  in  forwarding  their  exhibits,  and  for  a 
time  it  appeared  as  if  the  Exposition  would  not  be  in  readiness  to  open  at  the 
appointed  time.  While  the  Director-General  stood  out  for  a  long  time  against 
receding  from  the  position  taken  in  the  beginning,  that  exhibits  must  be  in  posi- 
tion early  in  April,  he  finally  yielded  to  the  inevitable  and  postponed  the  "  day 
of  grace."  After  continuous  reminders  that  the  Exposition  would  surely  open 
on  the  1st  of  May,  exhibitors  began  sending  in  their  goods  and  wares  at  a  lively- 
rate  by  the  middle  of  April,  and  from  that  time  up  to  the  present  activity  and 
bustle  has  been  the  order  of  the  day. 

May  1st,  the  Exposition  was  formally  opened  and  fully  350,000  people  were 
present.  From  the  east  portal  of  the  Administration  Building  to  the  walk  along 
the  west  side  of  the  grand  baisin,  immense  platforms  had  been  constructed.  On 
the  outer  platform  a  small  table,  covered  with  the  United  States  flag,  stood  on  a 
platform  six  feet  in  height.  Resting  on  the  stars  and  stripes  was  the  velvet  base 
of  the  magic  key  that  was  to  send  the  thrill  into  Machinery  Hall  and  formally 
open  the  Exposition  Above  this  rich  velvet  and  gold  pyramid  the  key  itself 
rested  like  a  beautiful  jewel.  Stretching  upward  and  backward  from  this  center- 
piece rose  the  grand  stand,  tier  on  tier  It  was  a  remarkable  gathering  in  many 
ways  that  filled  the  grand  stand.  Not  only  were  there  men  and  women  of  dis- 
tinction among  them,  but  a  dozen  nations  contributed  to*  the  assemblage.  Chi- 
cago's representative  men  were  there,  almost  to  a  man,  it  seemed.  Congress 
was  represented  in  both  houses  in  this  earlier  gathering.  The  army,  the  navy,  the 
bench  and  the  .bar  held  a  place.  It  was  among  the  foreign  contingent  that 
attention  was  chiefly  directed.  Three  figures  well  to  the  front  received  general 
notice.  They  were  the  Scottish  Earl  of  Aberdeen,  Sir  Edward  Birbeck  and  Sir 
Henry  Wood.  Baron  Kunowski  came  on  the  platform  accompanied  by  Marshall 
Field.  Abdul  Rahman,  Rajah  of  Johore,  was  a  noticeable  figure,  dressed  in  black, 
with  a  purple  apron  tied  about  him,  and  with  an  oriental  wealth  of  insignia  across 
his  broad  expanse  of  shirt  front.  Fred  Douglass'  dark  face  and  long,  white  fleece 
showed  near  the  big  frame  of  Buffalo  Bill,  who,  wearing  a  white  sombrero,  passed 
among  the  throng  to  be  admired.  The  local  officials  arrived  in  squads.  The 
first  to  appear  were  the  judges  of  the  courts,  with  Judge  Horton  and  Judge 
Ewing  in  the  lead  They  occupied  front  seats  and  appeared  to  enjoy  themselves 
immensely.     The  members  of  the  Legislature   came  soon  afterward,  and  then

came  the  governor's  staff,  resplendent  in  dazzling  new  uniforms  and  befeathered 
chapeaus.  The  county  commissioners,  the  aldermen,  and  many  other  county  and 
city  officers  came  also. 

At  11:15  President  Cleveland  approached  the  table  in  front,  with  Director- 
General  Davis  on  one  side  and  Charles  Henrotin  on  the  other.  Bunched  behind 
them  came  a  crowd  of  notables — Secretaries  Gresham,  Carlisle,  Smith  and  Her- 
bert, Vice-President  Stevenson,  President  Palmer,  of  the  National  Commission; 
the  Duke  of  Veragua,  Chaplain  W.  H.  Milburn,  of  Washington;  Lyman  J.  Gage, 
President  Higinbotham,  Director  of  Works  Burnham  and  others.  Back  of  them, 
on  the  grand  stand,  were  Governor  Altgeld,  of  Illinois;  Gen.  Nelson  A.  Miles, 
Lambert  Tree,  Speaker  Crafts,  of  the  Illinois  House  of  Representatives;  Lieuten- 
ant-Governor Gill  and  other  State  officers  of  Illinois,  Senator  Cullom,  of  Illinois; 
Senator  Mitchell,  of  Wisconsin;  Senator  Allison,  of  Iowa;  Congressman 
Springer,  of  Illinois;  Ashley,  of  Massachusetts;  Campbell,  of  New  York;  Bar-

Black,  of  Illinois,  and  McGann,  of  Illinois;  National  Commissioners  Widener, 
Bradley  B.  Smalley,  G.  W.  Allen,  George  H.  Barbour,  V.  D.  Groner,  James 
Hodge,  Thomas  B.  Keogh,  A.  T.  Evving,  James  H.  Breslin,  J.  W.  St.  Clair,  and 
Directors  Thomas  B.  Bryan,  F.  W.  Peck,  J.  W.  Ellsworth,  W.  D.  Kerfoot,  Wil- 
liam P.  Ketcham,  E,  F.  Lawrence,  A.  H.  Revell,  C.  H.  Wacker,  James  W.  Scott, 
C,  T.  Yerkes,  C.  H.  Schwab  and  ex-President  W.  T.  Baker;  also  Mrs.  Potter 
Palmer,  the  ladies  of  the  ducal  party  and  a  few  members  of  the  Board  of  Lady 
Managers,  Mayor  Harrison  and  others. 

The  diplomats  failed  to  attend  in  a  body,  although  many  of  prominence 
were  present. 

The  President  of  the  United  States  bowed  to  the  cheering  crowds  below 
him.  He  seated  himself,  with  the  Duke  of  Veragua  and  Mr.  Higinbotham  on 
his  right.  Messrs.  Palmer,  Burnham  and  Davis  seated  themselves  at  his  left 
hand.  A  moment  later  the  Director-General  arose,  and,  turning  toward  the 
great  band  under  the  arched  entrance  of  the  Administration  Building,  waved 
the  type-written  copy  of  his  speech.  The  instruments  burst  into  the  strains  of 
the  Columbian  march  and  hymn,  after  which  prayer  was  offered  by  the  Rev.  Mr. 
Milburn,  known  far  and  wide  as  the  "  blind  preacher."  The  prayer  was  long 
and  was  scarcely  heard  fifty  feet  away.  People  below  had  become  unmanage- 
able and  the  attention  of  nearly  every  one  on  the  stand  was  directed  to  them. 
When  the  prayer  was  ended  W.  D.  Croffut's  poem,  "  The  Prophecy,"  was  read 
by  Miss  Jessie  Couthoui.  It  was  scarcely  heard  twenty  feet  from  the  stand, 
though  the  lady's  gestures  were  watched  and  cheered  by  the  vast  throng. 

The  orchestral  overture,  "Reinzi,"  followed,  afterwhich  the  Director-General 
rose  to  speak.  His  address  was  cut  very  short,  both  from  inability  to  make  him- 
self heard  and  on  account  of  the  crushing,  surging,  restless  crowd  of  people 
below  him. 

President  Cleveland's  address  was  a  very  short  one.  In  rising  he  laid  otf 
his  hat,  putting  his  right  hand  rather  nervously  to  his  hair.  Then  his  hand 
dropped  into  his  overcoat  pocket  and  he  stood  stroking  his  moustache  with  his 
left  hand  as  he  waited  for  the  applause  to  subside.  He  talked  slowly  and  prob- 
ably succeeded  better  in  making  himself  heard  beyond  his  immediate  surround- 
ings than  did  anyone  else. 

It  was  just  12:04  o'clock  when  he  stepped  forward  and  pressed  the  key  that 
started  the  machinery  in  Machinery  Hall. 

Suddenly  the  great  flag  whose  silken  folds  of  red,  white  and  blue  had 
drooped  at  the  foot  of  the  middle  flag-pole  in  front  of  the  President's  platform, 
climbed  swiftly  to  the  top,  where  it  hung  glistening  below  the  golden  caravel 
crowning  the  mighty  shaft.  The  banner  of  Columbus,  white  with  the  green 
cross  of  the  inquisition  and  "  F.  Y."  the  initials  of  his  sovereigns,  rose  more 
slowly  on  the  tall   pole  to  the  right.     From   the   left  came  a  burst  of  color,  and 


72  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

the  red  banner  of  Castile,  with  its  rampant  lion,  rose  in  the  air.  Then  while  the 
people  gazed  in  wonder  at  the  scene  of  magic,  banners  bourgeoned  along  the 
roofs  of  the  palaces  about  the  court  of  honor.  They  broke  forth  in  folds  of  red 
and  saffron  and  green  and  blue  and  white.  The  whistles  of  the  steam  launches 
in  the  basin  drowned  out  the  boom  of  the  cannon  aboard  the  man-of-war  Michi- 
gan, whose  white  hull  lay  in  the  lake  beyond  the  Peristyle.  The  fountains  spurted 
a  hundred  feet  in  the  air,  their  feathery  tufts  of  water  catching  rainbows  in  the 
sunshine.  The  cheers  rose  tumultuously,  and  when  the  noise  finally  died  away 
the  faint  sound  of  distant  machinery  told  that  the  Exposition  was  an  accom- 
plished fact. 

The  gates  are  now  open  under  most  favorable  conditions,  and  as  the  colossal 
undertaking  expands  to  the  zenith  of  its  glory  successive  issues  of  the  Official 
Directory  and  Reference  Book  will  give  additional  details  of  the  wonders  to 
be  seen.

The  design  of  the  Arkansas  Building  follows  classic  models,  it  being  in  the 
French  "Rococo"  style  of  architecture,  as  Arkansas  was  originally  settled  by  the 
French.  The  exterior  is  in  plaster  and  ornamental  staff  work,  tinted  in  light- 
color.  The  interior  is  tinted,  and  the  ornamental  work  is  brought  out  in  gold, 
The  building  has  a  ground  area  of  66  by  92  feet.  From  a  large  circular  veranda, 
which  runs  the  width  of  the  building,  an  elliptical  entrance  opens  to  the  rotunda, 
30  by  30  feet,  lighted  by  a  central  dome.  In  the  center  of  the  rotunda  is  a  foun- 
tain of  Hot  Springs  crystals,  lighted  by  electricity.  Flanking  the  rotunda  are 
six  rooms,  15  feet  square.  Five  of  these  are  used  as  exhibit  rooms,  with  the  reg- 
istry room  on  the  right  of  the  entrance  lobby.  Opening  from  the  rotunda,  by 
triple  arches,  is  the  hallway,  11  by  55  feet,  with  the  stairways  on  each  side  of

feet,  which  is  entered  from  the  hallway  through  triple  arches.  In  this  hall,  oppo- 
site the  entrance,  is  a  10-foot  mantel,  of  Arkansas  white  onyx.  Columns  and 
vases  of  the  same  material  are  placed  in  various  parts  of  the  building.  On  the 
second  floor  are  parlors  for  men  and  women,  a  library,  committee  and  officers' 
rooms.  All  of  these  rooms  open  on  a  broad  gallery,  over  the  rotunda,  lighted 
from  the  central  dome.  Designer,  Mrs.  Jean  Douglas,  of  Little  Rock;  cost  $18,-

and  cost  $75,000.  Its  dimensions  are  144x435  feet,  It  is  in  the  style  of  archi- 
tecture of  the  old  California  mission  buildings.  The  exterior  is  of  plain  plaster, 
artificially  seamed  and  cracked,  giving  it  the  appearance  of  the  old  mission 
buildings,  while  recessed  entrances  give  the  walls  that  appearance  of  depth  and 
solidity  characteristic  of  the  old  buildings.  The  south  front  is  a  reproduction  of 
the  old  Mission  church  at  San  Diego.     The  main  tower  is  an  exact  reproduction 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION. 


of  the  San  Diego  church  tower,  while  the  remaining  towers  on  the  corners  and 
center  of  the  building  are  all  studied  from  the  mission  architecture.  The  build- 
ing is  not  of  the  clubhouse  character  of  most  of  the  other  State  buildings.  The 
entire  first  floor  is  open  and  is  devoted  to  the  California  State  display,  principally 
of  fruits  and  canned  goods.  There  are  three  fountains  on  the  ground  floor;  one 
in  the  center  and  one  at  either  end.  The  central  hall  is  surrounded  by  a  wide 
gallery,  and  on  the  gallery  floor  on  the  north  end  of  the  building  is  the  banquet 
hall,  a  kitchen  and  an  assembly-room.  In  the  south  end  are  four  servants'  rooms, 
and  there  is  a  cafe  in  the  gallery.  The  building  is  severely  plain,  there  being  no 
interior  or  exterior  decorations  of  any  kind.  The  walls  are  whitewashed  within 
and  without.  The  central  portion  of  the  roof  is  devoted  to  a  garden  144  feet 
square,  surrounding  the  central  dome.  On  either  side  of  the  main  entrances  are 
elevators  running  to  the  roof  garden.  These  elevators  are  a  California  product, 
the  power  being  a  combination  of  steam  and  water.  The  roof  is  of  California 
red  tile.

The  Colorado  Building  is  in  the  Spanish  renaissance,  this  style  of  architect- 
ure being  considered  most  suitable  for  the  Southwestern  States.  It  cost  $35,000. 
The  whole  exterior  of  the  building  is  in  staff  of  an  ivory  color,  and  in  the  salient 
features  of  the  design  profusely  ornamented,  the  ornamentation  comparing  to 
fine  advantage  with  the  broad,  plain  surfaces  of  the  building.  The  striking 
feature  of  trie  design  is  two  slender  Spanish  towers,  98  feet  high,  rising  from 
either  side  of  the  main  entrance,  on  the  east.  The  tower  roofs  and  the  broad, 
overhanging  roof  of  the  building  are  covered  with  red  Spanish  tiles.  The  build- 
ing is  125  feet  long,  including  the  end  porticos,  with  a  depth  of  45  feet,  and  26 
feet  to  the  cornice  line.  The  front  vestibule  opens  to  the  main  hall  of  the  build- 
ing. On  either  side  of  the  entrance  are  stairways  to  the  floor  above.  At  the 
rear  of  the  hall  is  a  large  onyx  mantel,  flanked  by  glass  doors,  leading  to  offices. 
At  the  ends  of  the  hall  are  a  men's  smoking  room  and  a  women's  reception  room, 
each  opening  into  an  uncovered  terrace,  surrounded  by  a  balustrade.  On  the 
second  floor  is  the  assembly  room,  extending  the  entire  length  of  the  building  in 
the  center.  This  room  has  a  high  vaulted  ceiling,  rising  above  an  ornamented 
cornice.  Over  this  cornice  are  rows  of  electric  lights,  giving  a  diffused  light,  by 
reflection  from  the  vault  above.  On  the  ends  of  this  assembly  room  are  a  reading 
and  a  writing  room,  which  open  to  the  hanging  balconies  on  the  ends  of  the 
building,  forming  one  of  the  most  attractive  exterior  features.  Broad-,  low  case- 
ment windows  open  from  the  assembly  rooms  to  the  front  and  rear  balconies,  the 
front  one  extending  between  the  towers,  24  feet,  and  over  the  main  entrance. 
The  rear  balcony  extends  along  the  entire  length  of  the  building.  Staircases 
lead  to  the  lanterns  in  the  tower,  where  a  fine  view  of  the  grounds  is  had.

A  miniature  of  old  Fort  Marion,  in  St.  Augustine,  has  been  reproduced  in 
the  Florida  Building.  The  fort  covers  an  area  of  one  acre,  and  is,  perhaps,  the 
oldest  structure  in  North  America,  the  most  interesting  specimen  of  Spanish 
supremacy  in  this  country,  and  the  only  example  of  mediaeval  fortification  on  the 
continent.  Its  erection  was  begun  in  1620,  and  continued  for  100  years.  To 
equip  it  as  a  garrison,  required  100  guns  and  1,000  men.  It  was  never  taken  by 
a  besieging  force.  The  State  Building  occupies  one-fifth  of  the  space  of  Fort 
Marion.  It  is  in  the  form  of  a  four-bastioned  fortress.  Including  the  moat,  the 
site  is  155  feet  square.  The  building  proper  is  137  feet  square.  The  frame  is  of 
pine,  covered  with  plaster  and  coquina  shells,  in  imitation  of  the  original.  The 
interior  is  divided  into  parlors  for  men  and  women,  committee  and  exhibit  rooms, 
and  is  furnished  in  Florida's  native  woods.  The  interior  court  is  planted  in  bam- 
boo, orange,  lemon  and  other  tropical  trees.  The  ramparts  furnish  space  for 
promenades  and  hanging  gardens.  In  the  moat  is  a  sunken  garden,  where  are 
produced  miniature  fields  of  cotton,  sugar,  rice,  tobacco,  etc.,  showing  the  natural 
resources  of  the  state.     The  cost  of  the  structure  is  $20,000.

The  territory  embraced  within  the  limits  of  the  young  State  of  Idaho,  though 
traversed  by  many  beautiful  and  fertile  valleys,  is  in  the  main  a  mountainous 
region,  its  mean  elevation  being  about  4,700  feet.  In  fact,  from  the  beauty 
and  grandeur  of  its  mountain  scenery  it  was  named,  quite  appropriately,  Idaho, 
"The  Gem  of  the  Mountains."  Its  numerous  streams  are  bordered  by  dense  for- 
ests of  valuable-  timber,  and  the  developments  of  recent  years  have  discovered 


B  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 


that  its  mountains  are  rich  in  precious  metals.  Though  the  State  has  made  rapid 
strides  in  recent  years  in  the  matter  of  general  improvement,  the  log  cabin  of 
the  pioneer  is  still  a  familiar  scene,  and  the  forests  and  hills  still  abound  in  wild 
game.  In  designing  and  decorating  Idaho's  building  for  the.  World's  Columbian 
Exposition,  an  effort  was  made  to  give  some  expression  to  the  characteristics 
above  referred  to,  to  exemplify  in  a  measure  some  of  the  chief  products  of  the 
State,  and  to  suggest  some  of  its  interesting  features.  All  of  the  materials  us^d 
in  the  construction  of  the  building  are  products  of  Idaho,  and  nearly  all  of  the 
decorations  were  there  obtained.  The  general  style  of  architecture  is  Swiss, 
modified  in  so  far  as  was  necessary  to  adapt  it  to  the  materials  to  be  used  in  the 
construction  and  to  illustrate  local  conditions.  The  building,  the  foundation  of 
which  is  of  basaltic  rock  and  lava,  is  a  three-story  log  cabin  made  of  stripped 
cedar  logs,  stained  to  the  appearance  of  weather-beaten  age.  It  is  generously 
supplied  with  Swiss  balconies  averaging  ten  feet  in  width,  which  extend  around 
three  sides  of  the  structure  on  the  second  floor,  and  across  the  front  and  rear  of 
the  third  floor.  The  roof  extends  on  all  sides  ten  feet  beyond  the  building  line, 
and  is  covered  with  shakes  held  in  place  by  rocks,  while  the  chimneys  are  large 
and  roughly  stuccoed  to  imitate  in  appearance  the  chimneys  of  real  pioneer  days. 
The  outside  dimensions  of  the  building,  including  balconies  and  roof,  are  70x90; 
the  foundation,  53x93.  One  enters  the  building  through  a1  stone  arch,  into  a 
passage  way,  10x35,  leading  to  a  large  central  hall,  16x34,  at  the  end  of  which  is  a 
stone  fire-place  with  log  mantel.  The  remainder  of  this  floor  is  divided  into  two 
offices,  14x16,  two  sleeping  apartments,  15x16,  and  two  toilet  rooms,  22x26.  From 
the  central  hall  one  proceeds  by  a  stairway,  on  either  side  of  the  fire-place,  to  the 
upper  hall,  18x48^,  opening  into  which,  from  the  front,  is  the  women's  reception 
room,  24x48^,  representing  a  miner's  cabin,  the  fire-place  of  which  is  made  of 
metaliferous  rock,  and  the  andirons,  door  latches,  etc.,  are  made  in  imitation  of 
miner's  tools.  At  the  rear  of  the  hall  is  the  men's  reception  room,  27x48^,  a 
hunter's  and  trapper's  cabin,  the  fire-place  of  which  is  of  Idaho  lava,  the  andirons 
made  of  bear  traps  and  fish  spears,  the  other  hardware  therein  representing 
Indian  weapons,  arrows,  etc.  The  entire  third  floor  is  one  large  hall,  48^x50^, 
intended  for  special  receptions,  and  contains  such  articles  as  ornament  the  room 
as  well  as  represent  interesting  features  of  the  State.  The  cost  of  the  building  is 
$30,000.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  79 

By  far  the  most  pretentious  of  the  structures  erected  by  the  several  States  of 
the  Union  stands  the  Illinois  State  Building,  Being  in  a  sense  the  host  at  the 
Exposition,  it  was  deemed  not  only  proper  but  requisite  that  Illinois  should 
make  such  appropriation  and  provide  such  a  building  as  would  enable  her  to 
perform  creditably  the, duties  of  that  office.  The  State  appropriated  $800,000 
and  the  building  cost  $250,000. 

Situated  on  a  high  terrace,  in  one  of  the  most  favored  spots  in  Jackson 
Park,  the  Illinois  Building  commands,  for  nearly  a  mile  to  the  southward,  a  view 
of  the  beautiful  waterway  which  encircles  the  great  island.  The  building  in  the 
main  is  160  feet  wide  by  450  feet  long.  On  the  north,  Memorial  Hall  forms  a 
wing  50  by  75  feet,  and  on  the  south  another  wing,  75  by  123  feet  and  three  sto- 
ries high,  accommodates  the  executive  officers,  and  in  the  third  story  two  public 
halls.  The  side  walls  are  47  feet  high,  while  the  south  wing  is  72  feet  and  the 
ends  54  feet.  Surmounting  the  building  at  the  center  a  fine  dome,  72  feet  in 
diameter,  rises  to  a  height  of  235  feet.  The  building  is  constructed  almost 
wholly  of  Illinois  material — wood,  stone,  brick  and  steel — and  is  covered  with 
staff  artistically  treated.  The  grand  entrance  faces  the  waterway  to  the  south, 
while  at  the  west  and  north  ends  are  others  scarcely  less  imposing.  In  front  of 
the  entrances  are  beautiful  terraces  with  balustrades,  statues,  fountains,  flowers, 
and  stone  steps  leading  down  to  the  roadways  and  lagoon  landings.  The  build- 
ing is  embellished  with  fine  carving  and  statuary.  It  is  thoroughly  lighted,  first 
from  the  side  windows,  which  are  placed  about  fourteen  feet  above  the  floor  to 
permit  cases  to  be  placed  against  the  walls;  second,  with  skylights  placed  in  the 
flat  roof  of  the  side  aisles;  and  third,  with  continuous  skylights  on  the  ridge  of  a 
pitched  roof  or  nave.  Ventilation  is  provided  for  through  windows  placed  a 
story  above  the  flat  aisle  roof  and  the  foot  of  the  sloping  roof  over  the  nave. 
The  interior  of  the  structure  is  appropriately  and  beautifully  ornamented.  Me- 
morial Hall,  which  is  fireproof,  has  a  gallery  encircling  it,  and  contains  a  large 
and  interesting  collection  of  relics  and  trophies  of  the  war  and  other  periods — 
all  owned  by  the  State.  There  are  also  spacious  galleries  from  which  an  excel- 
lent survey  of  the  main  exhibit  hall  may  be  taken.  One  feature  of  the  Illinois 
Building  wThich  is  sure  to  attract  much  attention,  consists  of  five  model  common- 
school  rooms,  of  high  grade,  fully  equipped  and  furnished,  under  the  direction 
of  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.  Here  may  be  seen  an  illus- 
tration of  the  methods  and  results  of  educational  work  as  pursued  in  the  normal 
universities,  the  public,  technical  and  art  schools,  and  the  high  schools  of  the 
State;  an  exhibit  by  the  University  of  Illinois  of  the  equipment,  methods  of 
instruction  and  achievements  of  that  institution  in  its  several  departments,  and 
an  exhibit  of  the  educational  and  industrial  work  as  conducted  in  the  State  chari- 
table institutions.  There  are  no  competitive  exhibits  in  the  Illinois  Building. 
These  are  distributed  in  their  proper  places  in  the  several  Exposition  structures. 
The  Illinois  Building  contains  a  "collective  departmental  exhibit  for  the  State, 
which  shall  illustrate  its  natural  resources,  together  with  the  methods  employed 
and  results  accomplished  by  the  State  in  its  municipal  capacity  through  its  sev- 
eral departments,  boards,  commissions,  bureaus  and  other  agencies  in  the  work 
of  promoting  the  moral,  educational  and  material  welfare  of  its  inhabitants  so 
far  as  such  methods  and  results  are  susceptible  of  exhibition."  There  are  also 
collections,  correctly  classified  and  labeled,  illustrating  the  natural  history  and 
archaeology  of  the  State;  an  exhibition  by  the  State  Fish  Commission  of  native 
and  cultivated  live  fish,  with  hatchery  and  appliances  and  equipments  for  trans- 
portation, models  of  fishways  in  use;  a  special  collection  of  the  cultivated  prod- 
ucts in  the  several  branches  of  agriculture  ,  architectural  drawings  (with  eleva- 
tions) of  every  public  building  erected  and  now  used  or  maintained  in  whole  or 
in  part  by  the  State  ;  also  maps,  charts,  diagrams  and  tables  conveying  full  and 
accurate  information  relative  to  Illinois  and  its  resources.  The  topographical 
maps  of  the  State  are  sure  to  claim  much  attention.  To  the  women  of  Illinois 
was  granted  $80,000,  or  one  tenth  of  the  entire  appropriation,  and  also  one-tenth 


THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 


of  the  space  in  the  building.  The  visitor  will  doubtless  be  intensely  interested 
in  observing  how  creditably  the  women  of  the  State  have  improved  the  excep- 
tional opportunity  thus  afforded  them. 

'  Nearly  the  entire  State  exhibit  is  confined  to  the  Illinois  Building.  Except- 
ing agriculture  and  floriculture,  the  exhibit  is  not  represented  in  the  various  de- 
partments, except  where  private  showings  are  made.  It  is  the  only  State  which 
follows  the  example  of  the  Federal  Government. 

The  east  wing  of  the  building  is  occupied  by  the  Illinois  Board  of  LadyMan- 
agers,  the  north  wing  is  used  as  a  memorial  hall  and  the  rest  of  the  structure  is 
devoted  to  the  State  exhibit.  This  is  a  collective  departmental  exhibit  illustrating 
the  natural  resources  of  the  State  with  the  method  employed  and  the  results  ac- 
complished by  every  branch  of  the  State  government. 

A  prominent  place  is  given  to  educational  methods,  and  it  may  not  be  out 
of  place  here  to,  say  that  Illinois  votes  more  money  for  the  purposes  of  education 
than  any  other  State  in  the  Union.  Visitors  to  the  Exposition  will  see  illustrated 
just  how  this  money  is  expended.  The  State  Blind  Asylum  at  Jacksonville 
maintains  a  permanent  exhibit.  There  are  twelve  pupils  always^  at  work  in  the 
building,  each  one  at  a  different  occupation,  to  illustrate  the  variety  of  branches 
taught.  An  expert  type-writer  from  the  school,  operates  a  machine,  and  it  is 
just  the  same  as  in  common  use,  without  raised  letters.  Some  of  the  most  rapid 
operators  in  the  country  are  blind  and  educated  by  the  State. 

Under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Raab,  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction, 
one  room  is  fitted  up  as  a  model  school-room  of  the  high  grade.  As  an  illustra- 
tion of  the  methods  and  results  of  educational  work  of  the  State  the  department 
shows  by  models  the  comparison  between  the  smallest  school  in  the  rural  dis- 
tricts and  the  city  school  of  the  highest  grade  and  by  comparison  the  progress 
made  in  the  forty-one  years  of  statehood.  One  of  the  galleries  is  given  up  to 
books  and  charts  showing  the  progress  of  the  work  and  the  number  of  children 
taught  each  year.  This  is  also  done  with  the  two  normal  schools  of  the  State. 
The  State  is  proud  of  the  University  of  Illinois,  and  this  institution  has  been 
given  a  very  large  share  of  the  educational  space.  It  has  in  all  twelve  depart- 
ments, and  the  work  in  each  is  shown.  Particular  attention  is  paid  to  the  depart- 
ments of  civil  and  electrical  engineering  and  the  tools  used  in  each.  The  achieve- 
ments of  the  university  are  shown  by  charts,  and  architectural  plans  explaining 
the  proposed  work  are  exhibited.  From  the  experiment  station  which  the  State 
maintains  in  conjunction  with  the  Federal  Department  of  Agriculture  was  sent 
the  results  of  the  various  trials  which  have  been  successful  and  those  which  have 
failed.  The  idea  of  sending  the  failures  is  that  they  may  act  as  an  educational 
exhibit  for  the  benefit  of  those  interested  in  the  science  of  agriculture  as  well  as 
to  show  wherein  it  has  failed  and  invite  conference  as  to  the  probable  cause  of 
the  failure. 

The  agricultural  exhibit  of  the  State  is  very  large,  for  this  is  one  of  the  ban- 
ner agricultural  States  of  the  Union.  Illinois,  with  the  exception  of  California, 
is  the  largest  State  in  the  Union  running  north  and  south.  California  has  an 
equable  climate,  while  Illinois,  being  mid-continental  and  subject  to  no  influence 
by  large  bodies  of  water,  is  subject  to  all  the  winds  that  blow,  from  a  semi-tropi- 
cal breeze  at  Cairo  to  a  semi-arctic  blizzard  at  Chicago.  This  naturally  gives 
the  State  a  much  larger  variety  of  climate  than  many  others.  The  exhibit  of 
these  resources  showing  the  widely  different  conditions  of  the  State  are  classi- 
fied into  agriculture,  horticulture  and  floriculture.  Each  department  has  a  full 
and  complete  exhibit  and  it  starts  in  with  the  earliest  products  at  the  extreme 
south.  As  the  season  advances  the  commissioners  will  place  on  tables  the 
largest  products  of  the  two,  the  farm  and  the  flower  garden.  These  will  be 
renewed  every  week  so  that  the  exhibits  will  always  have  a  fresh  look  and  on 
that  account  be  more  attractive. 

This  State  fixes  the  standard  of  grain  for  the  world  and  under  the  direction 
of  the  State  Grain  Inspection  Department  the  Commissioners  illustrate  the  entire 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  «1 

system  of  inspecting  grain  as  established  by  the  Railroad  and  Warehouse  com- 
mission.    Samples  of  all  the  known  standards  are  given. 

The  natural  history  and  archaeological  display  is  very  extensive  and  com- 
plete. It  includes  the  State's  stratigraphical  and  economic  geology.  Large 
glass  cases  are  filled  with  its  soil  and  subsoil  taken  from  different  localities,  as 
well  as  the  useful  clays  and  ores  and  all  products  of  the  mines  and  quarries. 
This,  in  company  with  illustrations  of  the  State's  botany  and  zoology,  occupy  a 
large  pavilion  in  the  west  wing  opposite  the  forestry  section.  On  first  thought 
many  people  may  think  that  Illinois  has  no  forestry,  but  that  is  an  error,  'ihe 
prairies  which  are  so  productive  in  the  growth  of  grain  also  grow  trees,  and 
arboriculture  has  become  a  strong  industry.  A  rustic  pavilion  has  been  made  of 
all  the  different  woods  grown  in  the  State,  and  the  specimens  furnishing  mate- 
rial for  the  pavilion  have  been  selected  specially  with  a  view  to  the  exhibit  fea- 
ture of  its  construction.  Inside  the  pavilion  are  finished  samples,  showing  the 
varied  uses  to  which  the  woods  of  the  State  are  put,  and  the  collective  display 
will  surprise  the  people  who  imagine  the  soil  of  the  State  will  raise  nothing  but 
corn-stalks.  When  it  comes  to  corn-stalks,  though,  Illinois  is  somewhere  very 
near  the  head  of  the  procession.  In  the  northwest  corner  of  the  building  is  a 
pavilion  built  of  stalks.  The  uprights  were  grown  in  a  cornfield  and  the  very 
roof  is  a  thatch  of  stalks.  All  the  decoration  is  typical,  from  the  silky  tassels 
that  serve  for  frieze  and  dado,  to  the  corn  in  the  ear,  arranged  in  fantastic 
designs  and  color  combinations.  The  smallest  pop-corn  nubbin  and  the  biggest 
ear  of  river  bottom  corn  are  in  the  aggregation. 

The  State  Fisheries  Department  is  also  well  represented.  The  commission- 
ers show  in  four  large  tanks  all  the  native  and  propagated  fish  alive,  together 
with  the  hatcheries  system  and  the  appliances  used  in  transportation. 

In  the  very  center  of  the  building  is  the  great  relief  map  of  the  State  cast  in 
plaster  of  Paris.  It  is  made  on  a  scale  of  two  miles  to  the  horizontal  inch  and 
500  feet  to  the  vertical  inch.  That  gives  it  a  length  of  seventeen  feet,  width  nine 
feet.  It  has  taken  fourteen  engineers  nearly  a  year  to  prepare  the  drawings,  but 
it  is  of  great  value  because  of  its  topographical  accuracy.  Among  other  things 
the  new  map  shows  that  the  best  map  in  existence  before  this  was  begun  had 
1,382  errors  and  discrepancies. 

The  north  wing  of  the  building  is  used  as  a  memorial  hall.  All  of  the  relics 
of  the  State  are  shown  there,  including  the  flags  carried  by  the  State  soldiers 
during  the  late  Civil  War. 

Of  the  original  appropriation  of  $800,000  of  the  State  to  meet  the  expenses 
-of  the  exhibits  and  building,  the  Woman's  Board  got  $80,000.  They  occupy  the 
east  wing  of  the  building  and  display  a  great  variety  of  things  from  the  model 
farm  of  the  State,  which  is  owned  and  operated  by  a  woman,  to  industrial  and 
art  works.  The  women  of  the  State  have  responded  promptly  to  the  call  for 
specimens  of  this  work  of  every  nature,  and  the  rooms  are  filled  with  paintings, 
relics  and  the  manufactured  products. 

From  the  exhibit  made  by  the  Illinois  Women's  Board  three  objects  have 
been  attained:  First,  the  board  shows  to  the  world  samples  of  the  work  done  by 
the  women  of  Illinois;  second,  Illinois  women  see  the  best  methods  and  results 
in  all  the  common  and  everyday  duties  of  life;  and,  third,  the  exhibit  familiar- 
izes the  women  of  the  State  with  the  new  avenues  of  activity  and  the  broadening 
opportunities  for  self-advancement  and  self-support  opened  to  them. 

In  order  to  accomplish  this  great  task  efficiently  the  board  was  organized 
with  Mrs.  Gould  as  president,  Mrs.  Robert  W.  Wiles,  of  Freeport,  as  vice^ 
president,  and  Miss  Mary  Callahan,  ot  Robioson,  as  secretary.  The  work  was 
subdivided  and  attended  to  by  the  following  committees: 

Committee  on  Literature,  including  books,  newspapers  and  magazines,  Mrs.  Francis  L. 
Gilbert,  of  Chicago,   Chairman. 

Historical  and  Scientific  Collections,  Miss  Callahan,  Chairman. 

Decorative  Art,  including  ceramics,  wood-carving,  plain  and  ornamental  needle  work,  Mrs. 
H.  H,  Candee,  of  Cairo,  Chairman.  ,

Clubs  were  formed  in  every  county  in  the  State,  which  had  the  effect  of 
arousing  enthusiasm  in  the  State  exhibit.  The  part  of  the  Illinois  Buildings 
assigned  to  women  has  been  handsomely  decorated  by  paintings,  plastic  reliefs, 
etc.,  by  several  of  the  accomplished  women  artists  of  the  State.  The  artists 
assisting  were: 

Miss  Caroline  D.  Wade,  Mrs.  Marie^K.  Lusk,  Miss  Helen  B.  Gregory,  Miss  Alice  D.  Kel 
logg,  Miss  Pauline  A.  Dohn,  Miss  Anna  W.  Jones,  Mrs.  Mary  F.  Means  and  Miss  D.  Gerow. 

In  the  library  has  been  placed  the  volumes  written  by  Illinois  women. 
Names  of  more  than  150  Illinois  authors  appear  in  the  collection. 

The  Historical  and  Scientific  Committee  makes  an  exhibit  contrasting  the 
work  and  manner  of  life  of  the  women  in  the  first  years  of  the  State's  existence 
with  that  of  the  present,  and  shows  the  advance  made.  This  is  done  by  means 
of  relics  of  different  kinds,  articles  worn  in  early  times,  books  and  pictures.  Kas- 
kaskia,  the  oldest  town  in  the  Mississippi  valley  and  first  capital  of  the  State, 
was  rich  in  relics  to  any  one  who  would  seek  for  them  in  old  garrets  or  ware- 
houses. Many  articles  which  have  been  preserved  with  care  were,  through  the 
earnest  solicitation  of  Miss  Callahan,  secretary  of  the  committee,  finally  secured 
for  the  Illinois  exhibit.  They  had  been  sought  for  the  Centennial  and  New 
Orleans  and  Paris  expositions,  but  never  before  have  they  been  exhibited.  One 
of  the  oldest  and  most  interesting  relics  is  the  bell  taken  from  the  church  of  the 
old  Catholic  mission.  It  still  hangs  in  the  church  tower,  but  is  never  used.  The 
mission  was  established  by  Father  Marquette,  who  preached  the  first  sermon  to 
the  Indians.  In  1782  Father  Gravier  built  the  first  church.  The  interior  of  the 
present  church  is  that  old  mission  structure,  made  modern  by  improvements,  but 
still  left  intact.  The  silver  service,  bell,  vestments  and  pictures  were  presented 
by  the  King  of  France,  Louis  XIV.  The  bell  is  inscribed:  "To  the  Church  of 
Illinois."  On  the  opposite  surface  is  the  cross.  The  old  hotel  in  which  Lafay- 
ette was  banqueted  still  stands,  and  one  part  of  it  is  used  as  a  dwelling.  From 
the  room  used  as  the  banquet  hall  in  1825  a  carved  ebony  mantel  has  been  taken 
out  and  placed  in  the  exhibit,  with  the  brass  andirons  that  were  used  in  the  fire- 
place; also  several  pieces  of  china  from  the  same  house.  Portraits  of  the  first 
executive  and  his  wife,  Governor  and  Mrs.  Bond,  are  in  the  collection,  which  are 
loaned  by  their  grandson;  the  old  family  Bible,  a  silver  ladle,  and  a  silver  urn 
made  from  coin  given  by  the  soldiers  from  old  Fort  Vincennes  to  the  servants 
for  milk,  butter  and  eggs.  The  house  is  entirely  gone,  and  where  it  stood  now 
flow  the  waters  of  the  Kaskaskia.  The  grandson  of  old  Pierre  Minard,  who  was 
first  lieutenant-governor,  made  a  valuable  loan.  The  old  gentleman  lived  in 
princely  style.  All  the  furniture  of  his  mansion  was  bought  in  France.  In  the 
collection  is  a  cherry  table,  a  mahogany  bureau  with  swell  front  and  plain  col- 
umns, and  a  pier  glass  from  the  carved  ebony  mantel.  A  picture  of  the  house  in 
which  the  first  legislature  was  held  will  be  shown.  It  was  the  first  brick  house 
in  the  Mississippi  valley,  and  the  bricks  were  brought  from  Pittsburg  on  flatboats 
down  the  Ohio  and  up  the  Mississippi.  Sangamon  county  sends  many  interest- 
ing things  from  the  Lincoln  home.  Among  them  is  the  table  cloth  used  at  the 
wedding  breakfast  of  Lincoln,  and  now  preserved  by  a  niece  of  Mrs.  Lincoln, 
Also  the  ball  dresses  warn  by  Mrs.  Lincoln  at  the  first  and  second  inaugural 
balls.  Jo  Daviess  county  sends  the  saddle  in  which  Grant  rode  during  the  war, 
and  the  lantern  he  carried  with  his  equipments. 

In  the  scientific  department  Miss  Nettie  Ayers,  who  is  assistant  in  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois  at  Champaign  and  the  only  woman  bacteriologist,  has  a  work-

ing  exhibit.     She  will  separate  the  microbes  from  water  and  vegetables,  and  show 
the  practical  working  of  this  department. 

Six  statues  in  staff  have  been  placed  on  the  wall  space  between  the  lofty- 
windows  in  the  main  exhibit  gallery.  The  statues  are  eight  feet  in  height,  repre- 
senting heroic  size,  and  illustrate  Faith,  Justice,  Maternity,  Art,  Charity  and  Lit- 
erature. The  six  women  sculptors  who  did  this  work  are,  Mrs.  Ellen  Copp,  Miss 
Taft,  Miss  Bessie  O.  Potter,  Miss  Caroline  Brooks,  Miss  Scudder  and  Miss 
Blacken. 

A  kindergarten  department  will  be  conducted  in  the  large  room  at  the  east 
end  of  the  building,  and  the  management  has  been  placed  in  the  hands  of  the 
Chicago  Froebel  and  Free  associations.  The  plan  arranges  for  a  kindergarten 
to  be  conducted  during  the  six  months  of  the  Exposition  as  a  part  both  of  the 
educational  exhibit  and  the  women's  exhibit  of  the  State  of  Illinois  in  the  State 
Building.  The  class  will  number  fifty  children,  to  be  cared  for  by  a  director  and 
two  paid  assistants.  The  daily  session  will  occupy  the  morning  hours.  Some 
person  competent  to  answer  questions  relative  to  the  philosophy  of  the  kinder- 
garten will  be  present  both  during  and  after  the  session.  Further  instruction 
will  be  furnished  by  an  afternoon  course  of  talks  or  lectures. 

Other  departments  of  interest  in  which  many  women  are  engaged  have 
exhibits,  such  as  the  work  of  women  farmers;  an  exhibit  of  designing;  specimens 
of  wall-paper,  textile  fabrics,  stained  glass,  embossed  leather  executed  by  women. 
Beside  these  two  hundred  and  eighty-four  patents  have  been  issued  to  Illinois 
women.  A  complete  set  of  copies  of  all  these  patents,  together  vVith  models  of 
as  many  of  them  as  are  given  inventors,  are  shown  in  the  exhibit. 

The  fish  exhibit  of  the  State  is  also  made  in  the  Illinois  Building,  the  collec- 
tion comprising  about  one  hundred  and  thirty-nine  species  of  fish.  They  are  all 
suspended  by  a  silken  cord  in  glass  jars  of  alcohol.  The  collections  of  darter  and 
minnows  is  very  interesting  and  they  range  in  size,  full  grown,  from  one  inch  to 
six  inches,  comprising  about  thirty-two  species.  There  are  eleven  species  of  cat- 
fish, including  four  species  of  stone-cats.  One  species,  the  gambusia,  brings  forth 
its  young  alive.  This  fish  is  found  in  the  southern  portion  of  the  State.  An  odd 
looking  specimen  is  the  mufnejaw.  It  has  a  thick,  knotty  looking  head  and 
puffed-up  jaws.  This  fish  attains  the  length  of  five  inches.  It  is  found  princi- 
pally in  the  southern  part  of  the  State.  The  spoon-bill  or  shovel-cat  has  a  broad, 
flat  upper  mandible  which  projects  forward  about  the  length  of  the  rest  of  its 
body.     This  species  is  found  in  the  lakes  and  large  rivers.

The  Indiana  Building  is  one  of  the  most  attractive,  convenient  and  com- 
fortable of  all  the  State  buildings.  In  the  matter  of  space,  Indiana  has  secured 
good  sized  sections  in  all  the  main  buildings.  The  State  building  is  situated 
north  of  the  Woman's  building  and  next  to  the  building  of  Wisconsin.  From 
the   western  veranda  the   hoosier  visitors   may  enjoy   a  beautiful   view   of  the

wooded  islands,  the  lagoon,  the  Illinois  Building  and  nearly  all  the  main  struc- 
tures. It  is  French  Gothic  in  design  with  cathedral  windows,  turrets  and  towers. 
Two  large  towers  with  spires,  one  at  either  side  raising  above  the  roof  of  the 
■estreme  point,  are  about  150  feet  from  the  ground.  The  dimensions,  including  a 
veranda  20  feet  wide  with  two  floors  extending  entirely  around  the  building,  are 
53x152  feet;  height  three  stories  and  general  appearance  very  massive.  The 
towers  are  constructed  of  Colitic  limestone  brought  from  the  Indiana  quarries. 
The  building  is  covered  with  staff.  The  entrance  steps,  balustrades  and  door- 
ways are  of  handsome  carved  patterns  of  stone  and  make  a  fine  display.  The 
lower  story  floor  is  eneaustic  tile  of  handsome  pattern.  Broad  carved  oak  stair- 
ways lead  from  the  lower  floor  into  the  towers  of  the  building.  The  entire  finish 
and  the  doors  are  of  native  quartered  oak,  carved  and  highly  polished.  On  the 
first  and  second  floors  a  wide  hall  extends  through  from  one  tower  to  the  other, 
separating  the  office,  parlors,  reception  and  toilet  rooms  from  the  assembly 
room  on  the  first  floor,  and  the  reading  and  writing  room  on  the  second  floor, 
from  the  ladies'  parlors,  reception  and  toilet  rooms  in  the  north  part  of  the 
building.  On  the  ground  floor  is  a  parlor  for  women,  with  check  and  toilet 
rooms;  a  parlor  for  men,  with  check  and  toilet  rooms.  The  assembly  room  on 
the  lower  floor  is  in  the  form  of  a  half  circle,  or  an  immense  bay  window,  and  is 
used  for  the  general  reception  room.  On  the  second  floor  is  a  reading  and  writ- 
ing room  for  the  use  of  the  general  public,  the  women's  private  office  and  recep- 
tion room,  the  office  of  the  president,  the  State  board  and  the  executive  com- 
missioner. On  the  third  story,  over  the  main  assembly  room,  is  a  large  room 
suitable  for  a  lunch  room. 

The  building  cost  $75,000.  The  State  paid  upon  it  about  $50,000.  The 
balance  was  raised  by  contributions  throughout  the  State  in  the  way  of  material 
in  construction  and  was  solicited  and  obtained  through  the  efforts  of  executive 
commissioner  Havens.  Chicago  parties  have  been  quite  liberal  in  this  matter 
and  have  donated  material  to  the  amount  of  $2,500.  The  balance  of  the  con- 
tributions were  raised  in  the  State  of  Indiana.

The  Iowa  Building  is  undoubtedly  one  of  the  handsomest  of  the  state  build- 
ings, and  the  decorations  of  the  ceiling  and  walls  of  the  main  hall  in  corn  and 
grasses  is  one  of  the  most  unique  and  attractive  pieces  of  art  work  on  the 
grounds.  Scenes  emblematic  of  agricultural,  pastoral,  mining  and  other  pursuits 
are  faithfully  portrayed  and  are  similar  to  those  shown  in  the  famous  Corn  Pal- 
ace exhibitions  in  Sioux  City.  The  structure  is  on  the  west  side  of  the  "  Jackson 
Park  Shelter"  which  belongs  to  the  Park  Commissioners,  and  serves  as  a 
receptacle  for  the  State  exhibit.  The  Iowa  Building  is  60x100  feet  in  size  and 
two  stories  high.  It  is  in  wood  and  staff,  with  towers  and  roof  corresponding  to 
the  "Shelter,"  so  that  the  two  structures  combine  harmoniously  after  the  style  of 
a  French  chateau,  forming  a  very  picturesque  effect.  On  the  first  floor  are  found 
reception   rooms  for  men  and  women,  commissioners'  offices,  committee  rooms

postoffice,  writing  and  baggage  rooms.  On  the  second  floor  are  the  assembly

The  ground  plan  of*the  Kansas  Building  is  irregular.  It  approaches  a  square, 
one  side  being  straight,  and  the  other  three  forming  irregular  angles.  It  has  a 
ground  area  of  135x138  feet.  It  is  two  stories  high,  built  of  frame  and  staff,  and 
is  surmounted  by  an  elliptical  glass  dome.  The  main  exhibition  hall  occupies 
nearly  all  of  the  first  floor,  and  extends  through  to  the  glass  dome  A  balcony, 
from  the  second  story,  overhangs  the  main  entrance  on  the  south,  and  a  second 
balcony  extends  around  the  base  of  the  dome.  The  north  end  of  the  main  floor 
is  occupied  by  a  natural  history  collection.  There  are  also  offices  for  the  boards 
of  commissioners  on  the  first  floor.  Four  flights  of  stairs  lead  to  the  second 
floor,  where  are  rooms  for  the  women's  exhibits,  a  school  exhibit,  and  parlors

National  Commission:  John  Bennett,  Richmond;  Harvey  Myers,  Covington.  Alternates: 
David  N.  Comingore,  Covington;  John  S  Morris,  Louisville. 

The  Kentucky  State  Building  is  typical  of  the  Southern  Colonial  style,  as 
distinguished  from  the  New  England,  and  suggests  the  better  class  of  old  Ken- 
tucky homesteads.  The  size  of  the  building,  exclusive  of  porches,  is  75x90  feet, 
and  in  the  center  of  the  principal  facade,  under  the  covered  porch,  is  the  main 
entrance.  To  the  left-hand  side  of  the  entrance,  communicating  with  the  lobby,

The  Massachusetts  Building  is  in  the  Colonial  style,  and  is  largelv  a  repro- 
duction of  the  historic  John  Hancock  residence,  which,  until  the  year  1867,  stood 
on  Beacon  Hill,  Boston,  near  the  State  capitol.  The  building  is  three  stories 
high,  surmounted  in  the  center  by  a  cupola.  The  exterior  is  of  staff,  in  imitation 
of  cut  granite.  It  follows  the  lines  of  the  old  house  sufficiently  faithful  to  recall 
the  original  to  the  minds  of  those  who  have  seen  it.  Like  the  original,  it  is  sur- 
rounded by  a  terrace,  raised  above  the  street,  and  has  in  front  and  on  one  side  a 
fore-court,  filled  with  old-fashioned  flowers  and  foliage,  in  keeping  with  the  char- 
acter of  the  building.  It  is  approached  by  two  flights  of  steps — one  leading  from 
the  street  to  the  terrace,  the  other  from  the  court  to  the  house.  The  main 
entrance  opens  to  a  spacious,  well-studded  hallway,  with  a  tiled  floor.  Facing 
the  entrance  is  a  broad,  Colonial  staircase,  leading  to  the  second  floor.  An  old- 
fashioned,  bull's-eye  window  gives  light  to  the  stairway.  On  the  right  of  the  hall 
is  a  large  room,  constituting  a  registration  room,  postoffice  and  general  reception 
room.  The  fittings  and  furnishings  of  this  room  are  unique.  Its  marble  floor, 
its  tiled  walls,  its  uncovered  beams,  and  its  high  mantel  recall  the  old  Dutch 
rooms  found  in  Western  Massachusetts,  as  well  as  in  New  York  and  Pennsylvania. 
On  the  left  of  the  front  door,  or  main  entrance,  are  two  large  parlors,  which,  when 
thrown  together,  form  a  room  80  by  25  feet  in  size.  The  front  parlor  is  furnished 
by  the  Essex  Institute,  of  Salem,  an  old  historical  society.  The  back  parlor  is 
more  especially  a  reading  room  for  men.     The  second  floor  is  given  over  almost

bedrooms  for  the  use  of  the  women's  board.  The  entire  floor  is  furnished  in  old- 
fashioned  furniture,  and  in  the  bedrooms  are  four-post  bedsteads.  On  the  third 
floor  are  rooms  for  servants.  A  liberty  pole,  85  feet  high,  stands  in  the  fore- 
court, and  a  gilded  codfish  serves  as  a  vane  on  the  top  of  the  cupola.  The  build- 
ing cost  $65,000,

rooms  for  the  secretary  of  State  and  his  family,  and  employes  of  the  State  com- 
mission. The  building  is  constructed  entirely  of  native  material.  The  Legisla- 
ture of  Michigan  appropriated  $20,000  for  their  State  Exposition  Building,  but 
most  of  the  materials  were  contributed  so  that  the  structure  as  it  stands  repre- 
sents an  outlay  of  $50,000.  The  prominent  features  of  the  exhibition  are  fruits, 
agricultural  products,  iron,  copper,  salt  and  other  minerals,  lumber,  fish,  furni- 
ture and  other  manufactures,  and  education.

to  the  men's  and  women's  parlors.  On  either  side  of  the  entrance  arch  are  bal- 
ustrades, enclosing  the  vestibule.  Flanking  the  arch  are  two  panels,  4x5  feet 
in  size,  one  bearing  the  State  motto,  "Oro  y  Plata" — gold  and  silver — and  the 
other,  "  1893,"  in  Roman  figures.  These  panels  are  in  pure  sheet  gold.  Above

.elk,  of  heroic  size,  cast  in  staff.  The  interior  is  finished  in  Georgia  pine.  The 
walls  are  tinted  in  oil.  All  the  main  rooms  open  onto  the  rotunda,  under  the 
central  dome.  In  the  rear  is  a  banquet  hall,  40x50  feet,  covered  by  a  large 
skylight.  In  the  center  of  this  floor  stands  a  group  of  three  mounted  elks.  A 
wide  gallery  extends  around  the  hall,  and  in  the  gallery  the  State  exhibit  is  made. 
A  life  size  statue  of  Miss  Ada  Rehan,  the  well  known  American  actress,  cast  in

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  91 

The  Nevada  Legislature  made  an  appropriation  of  Sic.ooo,  which  has  been 
expended  in  making  a  complete  showing  of  that  State's  mineral  and  agricultural 
resources.  The  former  may  be  seen  in  the  Mines  and  Mining  Building  and 
the  latter  in  the  Agricultural  Building.  The  world-renowned  pre-historic  foot- 
prints, fossils,  etc.,  which  were  removed  from  the  floors  of  the  quarry  at  the 
Nevada  State  prison  at  Carson,  are  also  shown  These  prints  and  fossils,  etc., 
will  undoubtedly  prove  most  valuable  to  the  scientific  world.  This  is  the  first 
time  the  originals  were  ever  removed,  numerous  museums  in  different  parts  of 
the  world  having  them  in  plaster  casts;  they  are  shown  in  the  Department  of 
Mines  and  Mining  and  consist  of  footprints,  fossils,  bones,  teeth,  etc.,  of  a  very 
remote  period.  They  were  taken  from  a  depth  of  thirty-four  feet  from  the  sur- 
face of  the  quarry  of  the  State  prison  at  Carson.

Those  familiar  with  the  appearance  of  the  Washington  headquarters  in 
Morristown,  N.  J.,  will  recognize  in  New  Jersey's  building  the  nucleus  of  the  gen- 
eral lines  and  details  of  that  historic  structure.  The  interest  of  the  Morristown 
building  is  no  doubt  somewhat  shared  in  by  the  New  Jersey  Building,  and  it 
seems  that  the  State  has  done  well  in  selecting  the  old  headquarters  as  a  starting 
point  for  the  design,  when  it  is  remembered  that  under  the  roof  of  the  old 
Morristown  house  more  of  the  noted  characters  of  the  Revolution  have  gathered 
than  under  any  other  roof  in  America.  General  Washington  made  the  building 
his    headquarters   during  the  winter  of  1779  and  '80,  and   Alexander  Hamilton 


92  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

lived  there  during  the  same  long  winter,  and  there  "he  met  and  courted  the  lady 
he  afterward  married,  the  daughter  of  General  Schuyler."  Celebrated  men, 
including  Green,  Knox,  Lafayette,  Steuben,  Kosciusko,  Schuyler,  "Light 
Horse"  Harry  Lee,  old  Israel  Putman,  "Mad  Anthony"  Wayne,  and  "that  brave 
soldier  but  rank  traitor,  Benedict  Arnold,"  have  all  been  beneath  its  roof.  This 
building  is  used  as  the  headquarters  of  New  Jersey  commissioners,  and  is  a  place 
where  every  New  Jerseyman  and  his  family  is  made  to  feel  at  home,  where  he 
can  meet  his  friends,  can  register  his  address  and  receive  his  letters.  It  is,  in 
fact,  a  part  of  his  own  State  transported  to  the  Exposition  grounds.  The  site 
of  the  building  is  centrally  located  among  those  of  the  States  of  New 
York,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island  and  Connecticut.  The  building  is  not 
intended  for  exhibition  purposes,  but  is  more  in  the  nature  of  a  club- 
house for  the  use  and  convenience  of  all  Jersey  people.  There  are  large 
and  inviting  piazzas  on  the  front  and  rear.  The  main  entrance  opens  into 
a  large  general  assembly  hall,  two  stories  high  with  a  circular  balcony 
looking  down  from  the  second  story.  This  hall  contains  the  postoffice  and  the 
hat  and  cloak  counter,  a  large  open  fire-place,  nearly  ten  feet  across,  and  the  main 
staircase,  this  latter  being  made  a  feature  of  the  design.  On  the  right  hand  side 
of  the  building  are  located  the  rooms  set  apart  especially  for  the  ladies;  these 
consist  of  the  general  meeting  room  of  the  Ladies'  Board  of  Managers,  two  par- 
lors on  the  second  floor,  with  lavatories  and  bath-rooms.  On  the  left  hand  side  of 
the  building  are  the  rooms  set  apart  for  gentlemen,  the  secretary's  office,  board 
room,  president's  room,  committee  rooms  and  lavatories.  In  the  third  story  are 
the  care-takers' apartments  and  store-rooms  for  documents,  etc.  The  building  is 
principally  of  frame  construction,  covered  with  clapboards  and  with  some  of  the 
ornamental  portions  in  staff.  The  roof  is  shingled.  The  dimensions  of  the  main 
building  are  51  feet  long,  31  feet  deep  and  37  feet  high  to  the  ridge.  Each  wing 
is  16  feet  front,  21  feet  deep  and  30  feet  high.  The  piazzas,  in  front  and  rear,  are 
each  68  feet  long  by  16  feet  wide  (at  the  widest  part).  The  area  covered, 
including  piazzas,  is  3,949  square  feet.  The  general  style  of  the  building  is  Colon- 
ial. The  cor  is  $40,000.  Considerable  of  the  materal  was  donated  by  manufact- 
urers in  the  State.

New  York's  State  Building  ranks  in  size  next  to  that  of  Illinois  and  Califor- 
nia. It  costs  $150,000.  The  architectural  idea  in  the  building  is  that  of  a  big 
summer  house.  It  is  three  stories  high,  being  57  feet  from  the  ground  to  the 
cornice.  The  exterior  is  in  staff,  in  imitation  of  marble,  and  in  keeping  with  the 
style  of  the  main  Exposition  buildings.  Its  decked  roof  is  surmounted  and  con- 
fined by  a  heavy  balustrade.  Each  pedestal  of  the  balustrade  supports  a  large 
Italian  vase,  in  which  grows  a  bay-tree,  giving  the  building,  together  with  its 
other  characteristics,  the  air  of  a  Pompeiian  house.  The  flat,  decked  roof  fur- 
nishes a  promenade  and  summer  garden.  From  its  center  rises  a  clere-story 
over  the  banquet  hall,   and  above  the  clere-story  are  two  belvideres.     On  the 


£4  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

north  and  south  ends  of  the  building  are  circular  porticoes,  in  each  of  which  is 
a  fountain.     The  general  dimensions  are   160  feet  front  by   105   feet  deep.     A 
broad   flight  of  steps,  guarded  by   Roman   lions,  leads  to  the  arched  entrance. 
About  this  entrance  is  concentrated  all  the  exterior  ornamentation  of  the  build- 
ing.    It  is  in  the  style  of  the  Italian  renaissance,  a  villa  in  character,  rectangular 
in  form,  approached  on  the  south  by  a  flight  of  fourteen  steps,  46  feet  wide,  giv- 
ing access  to  a  grand  terrace,  15x80  feet,  from  which  the  loggia,  or  open  vesti- 
bule, 46x17  feet  6  inches  is  reached.     Partaking  of  the  domestic  as  well  as  the 
palatial  style,  the  building  is  not  only  the  headquarters  of  New  York  people  at 
the  Exposition,  but  also  a  most  comfortable  place  for  the  reception   and  enter- 
tainment of  distinguished  foreign  guests.     The  semi-circular  porticoes,  east  and 
west,  have  a  diameter  of  50  feet  in  the  form  of  an  exedra,  and  the  uncovered  por- 
tion, furnished  with  the  fountain,  is  a  unique  feature  of  the  building.     It  is  pro- 
posed to  place  a  bust  of  Washington  upon  the  key  block  over  the  main  entrance, 
and  at  either  side  those  of  the  first  and  the  present  governors  of  the  State.     The 
main  floor  of  the  building  consists  of  the  vestibule,  a  grand  staircase  hall,  with  a 
dome  ceiling  46  feet  from  the  floor,  a  small  reception-room,  a  suite  of  three  draw- 
ing-rooms, smoking,  writing  and   reading-rooms,  lavatory  and  coat-room,  post- 
office  and  telegraph  and  telephone   service  and   bureau  of  information.       The 
second  floor  contains  a  large  hall,  84  feet  long,  46  feet  wide  and  45  feet  in  height, 
on  the  west  of  which  is  the  room  reserved  for  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers. 
There  is  also  offices  for  the  General  Managers'  Board  and  the  Board  of  District 
Commissioners.     The  entrance  to  the  building  is  flanked  by  the   Barbarini  lions 
recently  cast  in  Rome,  selected  in  preference  to  the  lions  of  the  Villa   Medici, 
which   however  fine,   are  inferior  in  size.     The  four  pedestal  lamps  lighting  the 
terrace  are  exact  copies  in  bronze  of  antique  examples  in  the  Museum  at  Naples, 
and   are  richly  sculptured.     In  the  circular  niches,  on  either  side  of  the  arch  of 
the  entrance,  are  busts  of  Hudson  and  Columbus.      Above  the  key-stone  of  the 
arch   is  the  American   eagle,  and  dependent  from  a  staff,  projecting  above  the 
bird,  is  a  flag,  bearing  the  State's  arms.     A  striking  feature  of  interior  adornment 
is  the  arrangement  of  the  electric  lights,   in   a  belt  course,   marking  the  second 
story  floor,  and  outlining  the  arched  entrance,  above  which  the  great  seal  of  the 
State   of  New  York,   10  feet   high,  is  illuminated  by  a  myriad  of  tiny  lamps  set 
close  together.     A  second  line  of  illumination  accents  the  main  cornice,  and  sim- 
ilar ones  define  the  edge  of  the  roof  garden,  and  the  arches,  angles  and  cornices 
of  the  two  belvideres.     Finally,   a  cluster  of  lights  illuminate  the  bases  of  the 
flag-poles.     Within  and  without  the  building  blaze  2,000  electric  jets.     In  the 
main  hall  on  the  first  floor,  besides  the  beautiful  fountains  scattering  their  cooling 
sprays  within  the  spacious  porticoes,  an  object  of  unusual  interest  is  a  relief  map 
nearly  20  feet  in  diameter  of  the  State  of  New  York,  which  of  itself  cost  $30,000. 
This  main  hall  has  a  mosaic  floor    and  is  hung  with  imported  silk  hangings. 
Here  are  the  parlors  and  toilet-rooms  for  men  and  women,  postoffice,   informa- 
tion and  baggage-rooms.     The  grand  stairway  is  of  marble,  and  leads  to  the  ban- 
quet hall,  where  the  visitor  can  not  fail  to  be  impressed  with  the  elegance  of  the 
surroundings.     The  beautiful  arched  ceiling,  three  stories  high,  is  richly  orna- 
mented with  designs  of  fruits  done  in  stucco.     On  the  third  floor,  in  addition  to 
twelve  rooms  for  general  purposes  there  is  a  gallery  for  a  band  of  music.

building  adjacent  to  that  of  Kansas.  The  building  is  70x50  feet.  A  space 
46x21  feet  in  front  of  the  main  assembly  hall,  between  the  two  committee 
rooms,  is  used  as  a  court-yard.  From  this  court-yard  the  main  assembly 
room  is  entered  through  a  large  stone  arch,  above  which  on  the  exterior 
is  an  elaborately  carved  panel  containing  the  coat  of  arms  of  North  Da- 
kota. The  main  feature  of  the  interior  is  the  assembly  hall,  which  includes  a 
space  24x56  feet.  The  room  is  spanned  by  four  broad  arched  beams  between 
each  of  which  is  a  wide  window  reaching  from  near  the  floor  to  the  roof.  At 
either  end  of  the  room  is  a  broad  fire  place.  Committee  and  toilet  rooms  are

makes  a  good  showing  in  several  other  departments.  The  educational  advan- 
tages of  the  State  are  fully  presented,  and  her  exhibit  is  among  the  best.

The  Pennsylvania  State  Building  is  in  the  colonial  style  of  architecture, 
while  the  front  is  an  exact  reproduction  of  old  Independence  Hall,  having  its 
entrances,  bell-tower  and  spire.  Independence  bell  hangs  in  the  rotunda.  The 
rotunda  within  the  entrance  is  finished  in  tile  and  slate,  like  the  old  hall.  The 
building  is  rectangular  in  form,  two  stories  high,  with  a  ground  area  of  110x166 
feet.  The  corners  of  the  front  are  quarter-circled  in.  Piazzas  20  feet  wide  sur-

Outside  staircases,  right  and  left  to  the  rear,  lead  to  the  garden  on  the  roof. 
This  roof  is  covered  with  American-made  tin  produced  in  Philadelphia.  The 
outer  walls  to  the  roof  line  are  of  Philadelphia  pressed  brick.  Above  the  main 
entrance  is  the  coat-of-arms  of  the  state  in  bas-relief,  and  on  either  side  of  it  are 
heroic  statues  of  Penn  and  Franklin.  The  front  is  further  ornamented  with  two 
free  groups  of  statuary,  one  emblematic  of  the  arts  and  sciences,  the  other  of 
mines  and  manufacture.  The  interior  finishing  represents,  in  the  floors,  native 
marble  and  hardwoods  from  Pennsylvania,  and  the  walls  are  wainscoted  in  wood, 
frescoed,  and  heavily  corniced.  The  women's  rooms  are  finished  in  maple, 
and  the  men's  in  oak.  The  walls  of  the  women's  rooms  are  ornamented  with  mural 
paintings  by  Pennsylvania  women.  All  the  ceilings  are  of  stamped  metal,  and 
the  staircases  are  of  quartered  oak.  On  the  main  floor  is  the  reception  room,

is  finished  with  a  balustrade  surrounding  the  four  sides  of  the  roof,  with  orna- 
mental urns  over  each  pedestal  in  the  balustrade.  The  building  has  ground  area 
of  32x59  feet,  two  stories  high,  in  wood  and  staff,  in  imitation  of  granite.  En- 
trance is  had  to  the  building  from  all  sides  through  French  windows  opening  to 
the  floor.  The  main  hall  is  18x25  feet,  and  is  open  in  the  roof.  The  parlor  for 
women  and  the  secretary's  office  are  on  the  first  floor.  On  the  second  floor  are 
two  committee  rooms  and  a  gallery  around  the  main  hall.  The  Governor's  room 
occupies  what  may  be  called  the  second  story  of  the  porch  on  the  west  front. 
All  the  floors  are  hard  wood,  and  the  interior  is  furnished  in  cypress.

Texas  has  erected  a  handsome  building  on  the  right  of  the  north  entrance  to 
the  Exposition  grounds,  and  this  notwithstanding  the  failure  of  the  State  Legis- 
lature to  make  an  appropriation  on  account  of  constitutional  prohibition.  The 
money  for  the  structure  was  raised  by  the  Women's  World's  Fair  Exhibit  Asso- 
ciation of  Texas,  with  headquarters  at  Austin,  the  State  capital.  General  regret 
was  expressed  when  the  solons  of  the  Lone  Star  State  failed  to  make  a  suitable 
appropriation  for  the  representation  of  the  resources  of  that  great  common- 
wealth. Mr.  John  T.  Dickinson,  the  efficient  secretary  of  the  National  Commis- 
sion, is  a  resident  of  Texas,  and  he  did  all  in  his  power  to  bring  about  a  more 
favorable  and  extensive  exhibit  from  his  native  and  beloved  State.  He  wrote 
numerous  articles  for  the  Texas  newspapers,  traveled  and  spoke  all  over  the 
State,  induced  other  prominent  Exposition  officials  to  help  him  in  the  work  of 
creating  a  sentiment  which  would  crystallize  into  favorable  action  by  the  law- 
making powers,  and  was  materially  aided  in  his  efforts  by  numerous  prominent 
citizens  of  Texas,  but  to  the  chagrin  and  disappointment  of  thousands  of  pro-

gressive  and  enterprising  Texans,  as  well  as  to  their  numerous  friends  all  over  the 
country,  the  appropriation  failed  to  pass,  and  Texas,  once  an  entire  republic 
itself  and  now  one  of  the  finest,  best  and  most  progressive  in  the  galaxy  of  the 
States  of  this  union,  is  not  represented  at  the  Fair  in  such  manner  as  becomes  its 
grandeur.  All  credit,  however,  to  the  noble  band  of  ladies  of  the  Exhibit  Asso- 
ciation for  what  Texas  has  to  show.  In  the  treatment  of  the  design  of  the  Texas 
Building  the  architect  has  not  deflected  from  the  history  of  the  Lone  Star  State, 
which,  from  its  foundation,  has  been  marked  by  a  Spanish  tinge,  whose  architect- 
ural inclination  and  handsome  botanical  effects  lay  down  a  chain  of  thought  far 
too  beautiful  to  be  forsaken  for  that  of  the  present  day;  therefore,  the  building 
was  designed  for  colonnades,  grounds,  fountains,  foliage,  etc.  It  contains  an 
assembly  room  56  feet  square,  28  feet  high,  provided  with  art  glass  skylight  in 
the  ceiling,  with  a  mosaic  Texas  star  in  the  center.  The  rostrum,  ante-rooms,  etc., 
are  furnished  in  the  natural  woods  of  Texas.  One  wing  contains  rooms  for  bureau 
of  information,  register,  messenger,  telephone,  telegraph,  directors,  Texas  Press 
Association  headquarters,  commissioners,  historical  museum  and  library,  toilet 
rooms,  county  collective  exhibits,  etc.  The  main  entrances  are  through  vesti- 
bules, flanked  on  either  side  by  niches  and  colonnades.  The  main  vestibules 
terminate  in  a  large  auditorium,  connecting  with  the  rooms  mentioned.

The  Vermont  State  Building  is  one  of  the  most  unique  and  original  on  the 
grounds.  On  the  right  and  left  of  the  steps  on  the  facade  rise  two  shafts,  on 
which  are  allegorical  figures  representing  the  industries  of  agriculture  and 
quarrying — the  two  principal  industrial  activities  of  the  State.  One  enters 
through  a  columned  portico  into  a  courtyard,  on  the  right  and  left  of  which  are 
covered  porches  with  broad  seats.  Just  off  these  are  the  reception  rooms  in 
front  and  committee  room,  postoffice,  etc.,  in  the  rear.  In  the  center  of  the 
court  is  a  handsome  marble  fountain.  Marble  from  the  quarries  of  the  State  is 
used  all  through  the  interior  of  the  building.  Facing  the  end  of  the  court  is  a 
porch,  supported  by  four  carytids,  over  which  is  a  semicircular  Greek  window 
with  bas-relief  around  it  representing  "  Freedom  and  Unity."  The  coat-of-arms 
is  in  the  center.  The  reception  hall,  which  is  located  in  the  rear,  is  circular  in 
form,  with  a  colonnade  around,  and  a  wooden  dome  surmounts  the  structure. 
All  is  colored  according  to  a  Pompeiian  scheme.  The  building  is  Pompeiian  in 
style  and  of  classic  detail,  and  furnishes  a  most  unique  contrast  to  the  other 
buildings.

A  very  unique  structure  has  been  erected  for  Virginia,  at  a  cost  of  $25,000. 
It  covers  an  area  of  175x185  feet,  and  lies  near  the  lake  and  opposite  the  Mary^

land  Building.  The  structure  is  an  exact  representation  of  the  Mount  Vernon 
mansion  in  Fairfax  county,  Virginia,  near  Washington  city,  the  building  in  which 
George  Washington  lived  and  died.  It  got  into  his  hands  from  his  brother, 
Lawrence  Washington,  and  was  built  in  the  early  part  of  the  last  century  by  his 
father.  The  main  building  is  94x32  feet,  two  stories  and  an  attic  and  a  two-story 
portico,  with  large  columns  extending  along  the  whole  front,  being  94  feet 
long,  13  feet  high  and  14  feet  wide.  The  portico  extends  up  to  the  cornice 
of  the  roof,  has  an  ornamental  railing  around  the  top  and  is  furnished  with  set- 
tees along  the  whole  length  next  the  wall.  There  are  twTo  colonnades  running 
back  from  each  wing  of  the  building  to  the  rear  about  20  feet  long,  9^  feet  wide 
and  11  feet  high,  connected  each  with  a  one-and-a-half  story  structure,  40x20 
feet.  These  are  called  the  dependencies.  Altogether  there  are  twenty-five 
rooms  in  the  structure.  On  the  first  and  second  floors  of  the  main  building  there 
are  eleven  rooms,  in  the  attic  six,  and  in  each  of  the  dependencies  four  rooms. 
The  largest  rooms  in  the  house  are  the  banquet  hall,  31x23  feet,  and  the  library 
16x19  feet,  the  main  entrance  hall,  Washington's  chamber,  in  which  he  died, 
upon  the  second  floor,  and  Mrs.  Washington's  chamber  in  the  attic,  to  which  she 
removed  after  her  husband's  death  and  which  she  occupied  during  the  remainder 
of  her  life  on  account  of  its  being  the  only  room  in  the  house  which  looked  out 
upon  his  tomb.  The  apartments  average  upon  the  first  floor  17x17  feet,  upon 
the  second  17x13  feet.  The  height  of  the  first  story  is  10  feet  9  inches;  of  the 
second,  7  feet  11  inches;  of  the  attic,  6  feet  9  inches.  The  distance  from  the 
ground  to  the  top  of  the  cupola  is  50  feet.  In  the  main  hall  is  a  large  stairway 
four  feet  wide,  ascending  by  platforms  to  the  floors  above.  On  the  first  platform 
of  the  stairway  there  is  an  old  Washington  family  clock,  a  very  interesting  his- 
torical relic.  This  hall  is  furnished  with  antique  sofas  and  pictures  of  the  last 
century.  The  rooms  upon  the  first  floor  are  ornamented  by  heavy  carved  and 
molded  wood  trimmings  and  handsome  mantles,  very  antique.  This  Virginia 
Building  is  not  only  an  exact  representation  in  every  particular  of  the  old  Mount 
Vernon  structure,  but  everything  within  it  is  also  of  the  same  character.  Noth- 
ing modern  is  seen  in  the  building,  except  the  people  and  the  library  of  books 
by  exclusively  Virginia  authors.  As  far  as  could  be  done  the  building  was  fur- 
nished with  articles  which  were  collected  from  all  over  the  state,  the  heirlooms  of 
old  Virginia  families,  and  with  portraits  of  the  same  character.  Whatever  may 
be  lacking  in  furnishing  the  building  with  articles  of  this  character  is  supplied 
with  furniture  made  after  the  same  old  fashion.  The  building  is  presided  over 
by  the  Lady  Assistant  of  the  Virginia  Board,  Mrs.  Lucy  Preston  Beale,  a  daugh- 
ter of  Hon.  Ballard  Preston  and  a  grand-daughter  to  General  Preston,  a  former 
Governor  of  Virginia.  She  has  for  the  attendants  in  the  building  old  Virginia 
negroes,  and  undertakes  to  represent  in  every  particular  an  old  Virginia  home 
of  the  Colonial  period.  There  is  a  very  rare  collection  of  relics  of  Colonial  times 
and  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  everything  which  is  antique,  among  which  is 
exhibited  a  copy  of  the  original  will  of  George  Washington.  The  library  is  fur- 
nished entirely  with  books  written  by  Virginians  or  relating  to  Virginia,  quite  a 
large  collection  of  which  has  been  made,  and  ornamented  with  old  Virginia  por- 
traits, views  and  other  relics  of  the  Colonial  period  and  the  last  century.  Alto- 
gether the  building  with  its  furnishings  is  unequaled  in  its  character  and  appoint- 
ments and  nothing  like  it  will  be  found  elsewhere  except  at  Mount  Vernon  itself.

The  Washington  State  Building  embraces  a  main  hall,  space  118x72  feet,  to 
which  are  connected  two  wings,  1 18x40  feet,  and  cost  $100,000.  The  main  entrance 
on  the  east,  and  from  each  corner  of  the  main  structure  square  towers  rise  up, 
inclosing  staircases  to  galleries.  These  galleries  are  52x15  feet,  overlooking  the 
main  hall.  The  east  entrance  of  the  building  is  under  a  great  stone  arch,  which 
is  the  only  stonework  about  the  structure.  This  arch  is  built  of  alternate  blocks 
of  gray  tinino,  blue  chuckanut,  and  white  Pittsburg  stone.  Foundations  of  the 
buildings  are  of  great  fir  logs,  laid  five  deep.  Two  base  logs  at  the  north  and 
south  ends  are  each  127  feet  long,  and  after  having  been  slabbed  off  very  deeply 
are  still  eight  feet  in  diameter  at  the  butt  ends.  The  heavier  of  these  weighs 
36,000  pounds  and  occupied  four  flat  cars  in  transit.  In  squaring  three  sides 
enough  lumber  was  cut  away  to  build  a  good-sized  cottage,  while  in  the  log  itself 
is  material  for  a  big  house.  These  logs  have  all  been  squared  on  three  sides, 
presenting  a  rounded  surface  to  the  outside.  These  are  left  in  their  natural 
state.  The  largest  of  these  sections  was  cut  from  trees  600  feet^in  height,  which 
had  not  a  branch  less  than  150  feet  from  the  earth.  This  foundation  constitutes 
a  timber  exhibit  from  Washington.  The  two  wings  form  a  single  room  each, 
and  are  devoted  to  State  exhibits.  Nearly  all  of  the  first  floor  of  the  main  build- 
ing is  devoted  to  a  reception  room,  while  in  the  second  story  are  committee 
rooms,  parlors,  reception  and  toilet  rooms.  The  roof  is  of  shingles,  and  the 
interior  is  finished  in  cedar  and  fir.  All  of  the  material  used  in  the  building 
comes  from  Washington,  the  lumber  coming  from  Puget  Sound,  while  the  main 
entrance,  an  important  decorative  feature,  is  of  granite,  marble,  and  ore  from 
quarries  within  the  State.  The  sky-reaching  flag-staff,  208  feet  in  height,  was 
first  236  feet  in  length.  It  is  of  native  timber,  and  weighs  32  tons.  To  her  sister 
States  Washington  has  donated  about  40  flag-poles,  ranging  from  100  to  125  feet 
in  length,  placed  in  front  of  their  respective  headquarters.  At  first  view  the 
Washington  Building,  with  its  quaint  towers,  reminds  one  of  a  Holland  residence 
and  windmill.  It  is  unlike  any  other  structure  on  the  grounds,  and  sure  to  invite 
favorable  attention.  The  commissioners  have  spent  $100,000  in  collecting  a  State 
exhibit.

pitched  roof,  the  outer  walls  being  weatherboarded  and  painted,  and  cost 
$20,000.  It  is  representative  of  the  West  Virginia  residence.  The  roof  is  shingled. 
The  interior  is  finished  in  hard  wood  the  walls  are  plastered,  and  the  ceilings 
are  of  ornamental  iron  work  from  Wheeling.  All  of  the  exposed  material  in  the 
building  is  the  product  of  the  State.  The  main  entrance  is  on  the  west,  on  a 
platform  porch.  Above  the  entrance  is  the  coat  of  arms  of  the  State  in  bas- 
relief.  Within  the  entrance  is  a  vestibule,  with  rooms  for  the  boards  of  com-

in  no  special  style.  All  the  visible  material  comes  from  Wisconsin.  The  exte- 
rior is  of  Ashland  brown  stone,  Menomonee  pressed  brick,  and  hard  woods  from 
various  sections  of  the  State.  The  roof  is  covered  with  dimension  shingles. 
The  window  glass  is  plate.  It  is  practically  three  stories  high,  but  apparently 
only  two,  one  story  being  in  the  roof.  Its  ground  area  is  80x90  feet,  exclusive  of 
the  verandas  on  the^  east  and  west,  which  are  18  feet  wide.  The  semicircular 
verandas  on  the  north  and  south  are  entered  only  from  the  interior  of  the  build- 
ing. The  second  and  third  stories  have  verandas  on  the  east  and  west.  The 
main  entrance  faces  the  east  and  is  18  feet  wide.  The  interior  is  finished  entirely 
in  oiled  hard  wood.  The  first  floor  is  tiled  and  the  ceiling  is  paneled  in  hard 
wood.  On  this  floor  are  three  fire-places,  with  mantels  in  oak  and  maple.  The 
first  floor  has  a  large  reception  room,  men's  and  women's  parlors  and  toilet 
rooms,  an  intelligence  office  and  a  postoffice.  The  second  floor  has  a  historical 
room,  and  offices  for  the  commissioners.  On  the  west  side  of  the  floor  is  a  large 
stained  glass  window,  presented  by  the  city  of  West  Superior.  This  beautiful 
piece  of  workmanship  is  much  admired  by  all.  On  this  floor  are  two  very  ele- 
gant mantels  in  pressed  brick.  The  third  floor  contains  eight  large  bedrooms. 
Taken  altogether,  this  structure  is  one  of  the  most  tasty  and  convenient  on  the 
grounds.     The  building  cost  $30,000.

The  Wyoming  Building  is  in  style  a  modern  club  house.  The  dimensions 
are  70  feet  in  length,  by  60  feet  in  width.  It  is  located  in  the  extreme  north  end 
of  the  grounds,  commanding  an  interesting  view  across  the  park-like  portions  of 
the  grounds  reserved  for  State  buildings.  It  is  also  convenient  to  the  steam- 
boat landing.  The  interior  arrangement  consists  of  a  main  hall  24x40  feet,  with 
two  offices  on  the  first  floor,  which  are  used  for  the  reception  and  entertainment 
of  visitors,  while  the  collective  exhibit  is  placed  in  the  main  hall.  From  here  a 
circular  stairway  ascends  to  the  second  story,  where  the  toilet  rooms  are  located. 
The  gallery  around  the  hall  and  doors  leads  out  upon  the  balconies  on  each  of 
the  four  sides.  The  building  is  in  the  French  chateau  style,  and  the  panels  of 
the  main  frieze  exterior  contain  elaborately  wrought  hunting  and  pastoral  scenes. 
The  people  of  Wyoming  realize  that  the  Exposition  offers  an  unusual  opportu- 
nity to  make  known  to  the  world  the  varied  material  resources  of  their  State; 
her  coal  lands,  wells  of  oil,  soda  deposits  and  rich  mines  of  iron  and  precious 
metals.  The  exhibit  is  arranged  with  the  object  of  showing  forth  the  advan- 
tages of  the  State,  both  to  home-seekers  of  limited  means  and  capitalists  seeking 
fields  of  investment.  To  this  end  the  classification  includes  Wyoming's  best 
specimens  of  wheat,  corn,  oats,  barley,  rye,  buckwheat,  native  and  cultivated 
grasses   and   forage   plants.     Irrigation   methods  are  illustrated  with  maps    and

diagrams.  The  live  stock  exhibit  includes  the  best  specimens  of  blooded  horses 
and  cattle,  and  illustrations  of  methods  of  handling  range  horses,  cattle  and 
sheep.  The  committee  on  horticulture  and  floriculture  have  made  their  depart- 
ments as  complete  as  possible,  representing  all  perishable  articles  by  fac-similes 
in  wax  or  plaster.  Specimens  of  the  present  and  extinct  animal  life  of  the  State 
petrefactions,  Indian  implements,  dress,  and  ornaments  have  been  carefully  col- 
lected by  the  committee  on  scenic  exhibits,  and  form  a  most  interesting  feature 
of  the  State's  contribution.  The  committee  also  endeavors  by  means  of  paintings, 
photographs  and  models,  to  illustrate  other  striking  features  of  Wyoming  and 
its  leading  industries.

by  companies  and  individuals  in  the  several  great  departments  and  on  the  Midway  Plaisance. 
China,  for  instance,  has  no  official  exhibit,  but  Chinese  exhibits  abound.  On  the  Plaisance  are

ARGENTINE  REPUBLIC.

The  collective  exhibit  of  the  government  of  the  Argentine  Republic  con- 
tains an  instructive  assortment  of  the  products  of  that  country,  including  wines, 
skins,  ores,  woods,  dyestuffs,  etc.  In  manufactures  a  very  good  and  creditable 
display  is  made,  showing  the  progress  of  the  country  in  this  line,  especially  in  later 
years,  when,  mostly  owing  of  the  high  premium  on  gold  prevailing,  the  estab- 
lishment of  new  industries  has  been  greater  than  ever. 

The  Argentine  Republic  being  an  agricultural  country  par  excellance,  its  exhib- 
its in  the  Agriculture  Building  do  not  fail  to  attract  attention.  At  the  Paris 
Exposition  this  section  of  Argentine  exhibits  won  much  admiration,  but  the  fine 
collection  shown  here  far  surpasses  it. 

Not  less  interesting  is  the  display  in  the  Mines  and  Mining  Building,  where 
a  collection  of  over  five  thousand  different  specimens  of  minerals  are  shown,  from 
the  different  provinces  of  the  Republic. 

Equally  attractive  is  the  excellent  collection  of  hard  and  fine  woods  shown 
in  the  Forestry  Building. 

In  Viticulture  and  Pomology  Argentine  wines,  alcohols,  dry  fruits,  etc., 
constitute  the  principal  products  exhibited. 

Boats  found  by  the  Spaniards  upon  their  first  discovery  of  the  River  Plata; 
railroad  material  and  saddlery,  are  the  main  features  of  the  Argentine  exhibits  in 
the  Transportation  Building. 

Exhibits  belonging  to  the  Department  of  Ethnology,  and  the  Woman's 
department,  are  made  in  those  buildings,  respectively. 

Space  has  been  granted  to  the  Argentine  Republic  in  the  following  build- 
ings: Manufactures,  6,000  square  feet;  Agriculture,   5,310  square  feet;  Mines  and

aim  of  the  government  and  commission  of  the  Argentine  Republic.

ple, and  the  occasion  will  undoubtedly  result  in  the  further  increase  of  those 
agreeable  relations  which  exist  between  Austria  and  the  United  States.

The  invitation  issued  to  the  monarchy  by  the  government  of  the  United 
States  to  take  part  officially  in  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  was  most 
willingly  accepted  by  Austria,  while  Hungary  declined  official  participation, 
being  now  chiefly  interested  in  her  Millennial  Exposition  to  be  held  in  the  year 
1896  at  Buda-Pesth.  The  Austrian  government  devoted  a  sum  of  275,000  florins  for 
this  enterprise.  The  space  allotted  to  Austria  in  the  different  buildings  amounts 
to  about  89,790  square  feet,  of  which  about  53,000  are  in  the  Manufactures  and 
Liberal  Arts  Building.

missioner General;  M.  Raymond  Vaxelaire,  Secretary  of  the  Commission;  M.  Raymond  Le 
Ghait,  Secretary  of  the  Commission;  Mr.  Andre  Simonis,  Secretary  of  the  Commission. 

As  regards  size,  the  most  important  feature  of  the  Belgian  exhibit  is  found 
in  the  Manufactures  Building.  The  space  allotted  Belgium  has  a  frontage  of  one 
hundred  and  forty  feet  on  Columbian  avenue,  and  the  pavilion  covers  four  thou- 
sand five  hundred  square  feet  of  space,  The  facade  of  the  pavilion  is  the  same 
height  as  that  of  France,  its  neighbor,  and  the  structure  comprises  a  grand  cen- 
tral arch  and  two  smaller  arches  at  each  side.  All  carpentry  work  for  the  pavil- 
ion was  done  in  Belgium.  Among  the  many  interesting  things  to  be  seen  are  a 
magnificent  collection  of  bronze  art  works  and  mammoth  crystal  glass  plates 
from  Charleroi.  Belgium  also  shows  a  fine  exhibit  of  faience,  furniture  with  fine 
carvings,  etc   in  this  department. 

More  than  two  hundred  Belgian  artists  have  contributed  to  the  exhibits  in 
the  Art  Palace.  All  works  of  art  in  the  collection  were  passed  upon  by  an  expert 
jury  at  Brussels,  and  only  the  most  creditable  productions  were  sent  to  Chicago. 
Hubert  Vos,  the  art  commissioner  from  the  Netherlands,  superintended  the  in- 
stallation of  the  collection,  which  contains  besides  many  valuable  paintings  sev- 
eral pieces  of  statuary  executed  by  Belgium's  most  famous  sculptors.  Bronze 
art  works  form  a  notable  part  of  the  display. 

In  the  Department  of  Agriculture  exhibits  are  made  of  cakes  and  pastry, 
chocolate  and  confectionery,  raw  sugar,  chicory,  chocolate,  cocoa,  tobacco  and 
cigars,  mineral  waters,  canned  goods,  liquors,  gin,  beer,  bottle  stoppers,  hair,  etc. 

Wines,  wine  labels,  champagne  and  furniture  for  conservatories  and  veran- 
das are  shown  in  the  Department  of  Horticulture.

The  Brazilian  Building  is  one  of  the  handsomest  and  most  attractive  among 
the  structures  erected  by  foreign  governments.  It  is  ornamented  in  staff  and 
painted  white.  The  structure  is  in  the  form  of  a  Greek  cross,  and  in  architecture 
is  a  pure  class  of  French  renaissance.  It  occupies  an  area  of  150  feet  square;  is 
located  on  the  peninsula  just  off  the  lagoon  in  the  north  end  of  the  grounds  and 
lies  between  the  Fine  Arts  and  Fisheries  buildings.  The  height  from  the  ground 
to  the  roof  is  60  feet;  height  in  the  clear  150  feet.  The  structure  is  two  stories, 
surmounted  by  a  dome  40  feet  in  diameter  and  40  feet  above  the  roof.  There 
are  four  campaniles  which  are  used  as  points  of  observation.  The  roof  is  also 
used  as  a  promenade,  upon  which  beautiful  specimens  of  the  flora  of  the  Repub- 
lic of  Brazil  are  tastefully  arranged  and  from  which  a  fine  view  of  the  grounds 
and    lake    is    obtained.      The  interior  is  a   vast  arena,  the  walls  and  ceilings  of 


108  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

which  are  highly  ornamented  in  sculpture  and  ornaments  emblematic  of  histor- 
ical events  pertaining  to  Brazil.  There  are  no  exhibits  in  the  building.  The 
offices  of  the  commissioners  are  on  the  first  floor. 

Brazil's  exhibit  is  made  in  the  various  departmental  buildings,  principally  in 
Agriculture,  Forestry,  Fine  Arts,  Machinery,  Mines  and  Viticulture,  and  it  con- 
sists of  specimens  of  all  the  products  of  the  soil,  coffee,  spices  and  woods  from 
all  the  Brazilian  States,  about  150  paintings  and  a  large  number  of  marble  statues. 
One  statue,  by  Dr.  Julio  Brandao,  is  a  life-size  figure  of  Christ  in  white  marble. 
A  solid  piece  of  rubber,  ten  feet  in  diameter  and  about  twelve  feet  long,  is  shown. 
There  is  also  a  fine  collection  of  coins,  specimens  of  gold,  silver  and  copper  ores, 
together  with  various  kinds  of  precious  stones. 

What  the  commissioners  take  special  pride  in,  though,  is  the  coffee  exhibit. 
Coffee  is  served  to  the  people  free  of  charge.  This  portion  of  the  exhibit  is 
under  the  special  patronage  of  the  Centro  da  Lavoura  e  do  Commercio  of  Rio 
de  Janeiro,  an  association  of  coffee  merchants  which  has  presented  Brazil's 
claims  as  the  banner  coffee-producing  nation  at  sixty  expositions.  In  the  con- 
signment of  Brazilian  exhibits  received  through  the  custom  house  there  were 
2,220  bags  of  coffee,  enough  in  the  display  to  give  every  visitor  to  the  Exposition 
a  taste  of  the  luscious  beverage  as  it  is  brewed  in  the  new  republic.  Choice 
wines,  diamonds,  and  other  minerals,  native  woods  and  barks,  paintings  and 
statuary,  various  kinds  of  modern  machinery,  and  other  products  are  shown  to 
the  value  of  nearly  a  half  million  dollars.  The  Brazilian  government  appro- 
priated about  $600,000  for  Exposition  purposes,  and  the  display  made  is  credit- 
able in  every  respect. 

BRITISH  GUIANA. 

Mr.  J.  J.  Quelch,  Commissioner. 

Stuffed  jaguars,  pumas,  alligators  and  wildcats  crouching  among  the 
natural  products  in  one  corner  of  Agricultural  Hall  are  part  of  an  exhibit  made 
by  British  Guiana  for  the  purpose  of  informing  strangers  how  wonderfully  ver- 
satile in  production  is  the  British  colony  in  South  America.  The  exhibit  stands 
in  the  northwest  corner  of  the  hall,  and  forms  one  of  the  wildest  but  most  pict- 
uresque scenes  in  the  Agricultural  Building.  Huge,  square  cut  logs,  from  trees 
that  shot  upward  250  feet  in  the  air  of  British  Guiana,  form  pillars  of  the  exhibit. 
Greenheart  and  mora — the  hardwoods  used  in  shipbuilding — the  koorahura,  the 
wallaba,  used  for  making  rum  casks,  and  the  beautiful  crabwood,  seen  so  often  in 
furniture,  are  the  most  valuable  exhibits.  They  are  exhibited  in  the  rough  and 
after  passing  through  the  hands  of  the  workmen.  British  Guiana  is  proud  of  her 
trees,  and  maintains  that  her  woods  are  still  full  of  them.  Besides  these  speci- 
mens of  wood  there  are  logs  of  purple  heart,  hoolooballi,  tonka  bean,  locust, 
white  and  yellow  satinwood  and  towranero.  Some  curious  specimens  of  but- 
tress wood,  which  has  no  heart  and  looks  like  the  shriveled  hand  of  a  giant,  are 
exhibited  as  stands  for  flower-pots.  British  Guiana  also  shows  her  skill  in  mak- 
ing curacoa,  bitters  and  rum.  Her  preserved  fruits  are  a  specialty.  In  1884,  250 
ounces  of  gold  were  found  in  her  gold  mines.  Last  year  the  miners  obtained 
130,000  ounces,  and  some  of  this  is  on  exhibition.  The  prettiest  part  of  the 
exhibit  lies  in  the  cases  where  some  beautiful  feather  fans  are  shown. 

BULGARIA. 
Prof.  Vulko  I.  Shopoff,  Delegate. 

Bulgaria  does  not  make  an  extensive  exhibit.  It  consists  principally  of  the 
ottar  of  roses,  valued  at  $100,000,  and  is  installed  in  the  Department  of  Agri- 
culture.

The  Canadian  Pavilion  stands  upon  a  site  of  nearly  6,000  square  feet  of 
ground  on  the  lake  shore  but  a  short  distance  from  the  United  States  Battleship, 
opposite  Victoria  House.  The  view  from  the  "look-out"  on  the  tower  of  the 
pavilion  is  perfect.  It  extends  on  one  side  to  where  the  restless  waters  of  the 
great  lake  seem  to  kiss  the  distant  horizon;  and  on  the  other  side  takes  in  the 
magnificent  pier,  the  architecturally  beautiful  Peristyle  and  Music  Hall,  with 
glimpses  of  the  historic  Convent  of  La  Rabida,  the  great  Manufactures  Building, 
the  United  States  Government  Building,  the  Fisheries  Building,  and  many  of  the 
fine  and  expensive  edifices  erected  by  foreign  nations.  The  pavilion  has  three 
entrances:  a  main  or  front  entrance,  facing  the  southeast,  and  two  end  entrances 
on  the  east  and  west,  respectively.  The  front  entrance  is  through  the  tower,  and 
has  three  doorways.  Opposite  this  main  entrance  is  the  grand  stairway,  beneath 
and  in  the  rear  of  which  are  numerous  lavatories.  In  the  entrance  hall  are 
located  the  postoffice,  the  telephone  office  and  an  intelligence  office.  In  the 
latter  are  kept  registers  giving  all  possible  information  to  visiting  Canadians  as 
to  lodgings,  board,  the  whereabouts  of  friends  in  Chicago,  and  other  information 
that  may  be  useful  to  Canadian  visitors.  Off  the  entrance  hall  is  the  reception 
room.  Over  five  hundred  Canadian  newspapers  are  on  file  here.  To  the  left  of 
the  main  entrance  are  two  handsome  offices  for  the  Dominion  Commission,  while 
the  other  four  offices  on  this  floor  are  occupied  by  the  commissioners  from  the 
provinces  of  Ontario  and  Quebec. 

On  the  first  floor  are  two  more  offices  for  the  Dominion  Commission,  four 
for  commissioners  from  different  provinces  of  Canada,  a  committee  room  and  a 
large  parlor  for  the  use  of  the  whole  staff. 

On  the  second  floor  are  the  tower  room  and  the  smoking  room,  and  in  the 
attic  above  is  the  dormitory  for  the  guardian  of  the  pavilion. 

As  the  sum  appropriated  for  the  erection  of  the  pavilion  was  limited,  a  plain 
style  of  architecture  had  to  be  adopted.  Running  around  all  sides  of  the  build- 
ing is  a  veranda  ten  feet  wide,  with  a  balcony  above  of  the  same  width.  The 
balcony  is  supported  by  twenty-eight  Tuscan  columns.  The  walls  at  the  eaves 
of  the  roof  are  finished  with  a  bold  dental  cornice.  The  pavilion  is  covered  with 
a  low  pitched  roof,  partly  hidden  by  a  wall.  The  tower,  as  it  issues  through  the 
roof  is  circular,  and  is  divided  into  twelve  panels;  beneath  these  are  detached 
pilasters.  The  walls  are  finished  with  a  dental  cornice,  over  which  is  an  open 
balustrade.  Over  this  is  the  "lookout,"  whence  rises  the  flag  pole,  from  which, 
from  sunset  to  sunrise,  proudly  floats  the  Canadian  flag. 

The  walls  and  ceilings  are  finished  with  native  Canadian  woods,  highly  pol- 
ished and  showing  the  natural  grain.  Each  province  of  Canada  has  furnished 
the  native  woods  required  to  finish  its  individual  rooms. 

Around  the  pavilion  is  a  neat  plot  of  ground  covered  with  green  turf,  dotted 
here  and  there  with  native  Canadian  shrubbery  and  conveniently  and  artistically 
divided  with  serpentine  roadways  and  walks.  This  building,  with  its  furnishings 
and  surroundings  cost  over  $30,000. 

Various  commercial,  agricultural,  scientific  and  educational  articles  are  shown 
in  the  several  departments  from  the  provincial  governments  of  Ontario,  Quebec, 
Ottawa,  British  Columbia,  Manitoba,  Halifax,  New  Brunswick,  Prince  Edward 
Island,  Northwest  Territories.

CAPE  COLONY. 

Mr.  L.Wiener,  M.  L.  A.,  Commissioner;  Mr.  M.  Berliner,  Assistant  Commissioner;.  Mr.  S» 
Berliner,  Secretary  to  Commission;  Mr.  J.  W.  Cundhill,  Snperintendent  Diamond  Court. 

The  Cape  Colony  of  South  Africa  is  making  a  fine  display  of  its  products  in 
the  Agricultural  Building,  where  it  has  an  allotment  of  2,000  square  feet,  which 
is  surrounded  by  handsome  arches  and  glass  screens  in  white  stucco  and  gold. 
In  this  court  is  shown  a  display  of  ostrich  feathers;  merino  wool;  angora  hair;,  a 
trophy  of  wines  in  the  shape  of  a  huge  bottle;  African  woods  and  ivory;  maps  of 
the  country.;  stuffed  domestic  animals,  consisting  of  fat  tail  sheep;  ostriches  full 
grown  and  chicks  six  weeks  old,  all  in  full  plumage;  paintings  of  the  celebrated 
Cape  Flora;  trophies  of  Kaffir  ornaments;  rare  wild  animal  rugs;  horns;  basket 
utensils;  silver  leaves;  cape  immortelles;  pyramids  of  ostrich  eggshells;  raw 
skins;  buchu  leaves;  peas;  beans;  and  cereals,  including  Kaffir  corn,  etc. 

In  the  Mines  Building  the  mineral  wealth  of  the  Cape  Colony  is 
exhibited.  The  Cape  court  in  that  building,  which  is  between  Brazil  and 
Mexico,  is  encased  entirely  in  plate  glass,  set  in  pilasters  and  cornices  of  ebon- 
ized  wood  highly  gilt.  The  court  is  divided  into  compartments,  one  of  which  is 
a  machinery  hall,  where  the  public  can  see  behind  plate  glass  the  process  of  win- 
ning precious  diamonds  from  the  virgin  diamondiferous  soil  brought  from  the 
mines  at  Kimberley.  The  process  of  sieving  and  pulsating  the  blue  diamond 
ground  is  highly  interesting.  The  machinery  is  served  by  three  powerful  Zulus 
who  came  from  South  Africa  to  do  that  work.  After  the  pebbles  are  washed 
free  from  the  soil,  the  same  are  removed  from  the  last  sieve  and  spread  in  the 
sorting  room  on  a  table  where  the  person  in  charge  picks  out  the  diamonds  that 
each  washing  produces. 

Adjoining  the  sorting  room  are  clearing,  cutting  and  polishing  works.  Here 
skilled  workmen,  behind  plate  glass,  show  the  public  the  manipulation  of  turning 
the  rough  diamond  into  a  dazzling  brilliant.  Next  to  the  work  room  is  a  private 
exhibit  of  diamonds  of  great  value,  consisting  of  rare  and  choice  specimens  col- 
lected and  selected  since  1870,  when  the  diamond  mines  in  Cape  Colony  were" 
first  discovered.  At  the  opposite  end  of  the  pavilion,  in  a  handsomely  fitted 
room,  the  Cape  shows  blue  and  white  asbestos  garnets,  found  in  the  diamond 
soil;  pyramids  of  lumps  of  diamond  ground;  rich  copper  ore;  crocidolite,  raw 
and  manufactured;  coals;  salt,  and  two  hundred  and  forty-three  specimens  of 
the  mineral  wealth  of  Africa  south  of  the  Zambesi.  Between  diamond  machinery 
hall  and  the  mineral  room  is  a  reception  room,  where  files  of  South  African 
papers  and  books  of  reference  are  kept  for  visitors. 

In  the  Woman's  Building  the  Cape  exhibits  in  two  large  glass  cabinets 
the  handiwork  of  the  Colonial  and  native  women.  This  exhibit  was  carefully 
selected  from  a  collection  made  throughout  Cape  Colony.  Mrs.  Wiener,  the  wife 
of  the  chief  commissioner  for  Cape  Colony,  has  charge  of  these  cabinets. 

In  the  Transportation  Building  the  model  of  the  graving  dock  of  Cape  Town 
is  shown;  also  plans  of  the  harbors  of  Table  Bay,  East  London  and  Algoa  Bay. 

In  the  Horticultural  Building  the  Colony  shows  the  rare  plant  known  as 
Wilwitchia. 

Adjoining  the  ore  yard  near  the  Mines  Building  the  150  tons  of  virgin  dia- 
mondiferous ground  in  blue  lumps  is  exhibited.  The  care  of  this  valuable  pro- 
duct is  in  charge  of  three  native  Zulus,  who  live  in  the  enclosure  in  a  Kaffir  hut 
erected  by  themselves. 

CEYLON. 

Hon.  J.  J.  Grinlinton,  M.  L.  C,  Special  Commissioner;  Mr.  W.  W.  Pole  Fletcher,  Assistant 
Commissioner;  Capt.  Arthur  Hansard,  Local  Assistant  Commissioner. 

The  Ceylon  exhibits  are  numerous  and  consist  of  works  of  art,  manufactures, 
the  products  of  the  Island,  jewelry  and  curios,  with  a  most  interesting  exhibit  pre- 
sented by  the  late  Sultan  of  the  Maldives  to  the  Ceylon  government.  Space  was 
allotted  Ceylon  as  follows:  Agricultural  Building, square  feet;  Manufact- 
ures  Building,  1,350  square    feet;    Woman's   Building,  540  square    feet.     In  the 


BUILDING  OF  COLOMEIA. 


BUILDING  OF  CEYLON 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  Ill 

Ceylon  Building,  designated  as  the  "Principal  Court"  there  is  a  space  of 
18,706  square  feet  for  exhibits.  The  large  court  stands  to  the  north  of  the  German 
Building,  fronting  the  lake.  It  is  162  feet  in  length.  The  pillars  and  such  parts 
of  the  ends  of  the  beams  as  are  in  view,  and  the  four  entrance  doors,  as  also  the 
central  octagon,  are  beautifully  carved  in  imitation  of  the  carving  found  on  the 
stone  pillars  and  objects  of  art  in  the  ancient  city  of  Anuradhapura  and  other 
places  of  great  antiquity.  This  court  is  a  fine  exhibit  in  itself.  The  minor  courts 
are  also  made  of  the  woods  of  the  island,  beautifully  carved,  and  acknowledged 
by  all  who  have  seen  them  to  be  works  of  art.  The  main  building  of  the 
court  comprises  a  central  octagonal  hall  with  two  wings  facing  respectively 
north  and  south.  The  court  partakes  largely  of  the  Dravidian  style  of 
architecture  in  the  design  of  its  columns  and  adopted  by  the  Singhalese  in 
their  ancient  temples  throughout  Ceylon.  The  details  of  this  mixed  architecture 
may  be  studied  with  advantage  in  the  numerous  temples  and  ruins  scattered 
over  Ceylon,  of  which  views  are  shown  in  photographs  exhibited  in  the 
court.  The  court  is  constructed  entirely  of  the  beautiful  native  woods  of 
the  island.  Some  twenty  thousand  cubic  feet  of  timber  were  felled  for  the 
purpose.  The  whole  court  is  raised  on  a  projecting  basement  some  four  feet 
above  ground  level,  and  is  reached  by  four  stairways  highly  carved,  two  leading 
into  the  central  octagon  and  one  into  each  of  the  wings.  These  flights  of  steps 
are  adapted  designs  from  the  well-known  stairs  of  many  fine  ruined  temples 
to  be  seen  at  Anuradhapura  and  Polonnaruwa,  the  successive  ancient  capi- 
tals of  Ceylon  between  543  B.  C.  and  1235  A.  D.  The  cobra-shrouded  figures 
carved  in  bas-relief  on  the  terminal  stones,  guarding  either  side  of  the  ap- 
proach, are  termed  doratu-palayas,  or  janitors.  These  guard-stones  are  always 
found  at  the  foot  of  steps  to  vihares  (shrines),  etc.,  in  the  older  ruins,  to 
ward  off  evil.  The  small  conventional  lines  on  attached  pillars  at  the  side 
of  the  terminals  are  formed  equally  with  elephants  and  bulls  on  these  guard- 
stones  at  Anuradhapura  and  elsewhere.  The  figures  on  the  face  of  and  support- 
ing the  steps,  the  front  edges  of  which  have  a  small  conventional  pattern  of  the 
water-leaf  ornaments,  or  pad-ma,  carved  upon  them,  have  been  supposed  to  repre- 
sent yakkas,  a  class  of  evil  spirits,  also  placed  here  to  avert  ill.  At  the  bottom 
of  the  steps  is  a  large  carved  slab,  semi-circular  in  form,  termed  a  sandakada- 
pahana,  or  moonstone,  carved  in  bas-relief,  to  represent  a  lotus  flower  open  in  the 
center,  and  concentric  bands  of  sacred  geese,  foliage,  and  figures  of  lions,  ele- 
phants, horses  and  bulls  in  the  outer  ring.  The  carved  balustrade  on  either  side 
represents  a  makara,  a  fabulous  beast,  half  lion,  half  crocodile.  Arriving  at  the 
top  of  the  stairs,  the  entrance  to  the  building  is  through  a  handsome  doorway 
having  carved  jambs  of  similar  pattern  to  those  of  the  Dalada  Maligawa  (the 
temple  in  which  the  sacred  tooth  of  Buddha  is  deposited)  at  Kandy,  and  at  the 
Ambulugala  and  Dippitiya  vihares  in  the  Four  Korales  of  the  Kegalla  District  of 
Ceylon.  The  continuous  scroll  ornament,  should  be  particularly  noticed,  also 
the  intersecting  double-foliaged  scroll.  The  fancy  design  of  leaf  ornament 
spreading  downward  from  the  trunk  of  a  woman's  body,  is  here  particularly 
handsome,  and  follows  the  line  of  the  arch.  The  ceiling  of  the  central  hall  is 
supported  by  twenty-four  elaborately  carved  pillars,  which  are  in  two  stages; the 
lower  story  supporting  cross  beams  terminating  in  a  carved  bracket.  Between 
the  cross  beams,  and  forming  a  capital  to  each  pillar,  are  carved  cross-bracket- 
capitals  termed pushpa-bandha ;  they  are  carved  to  represent  conventional  droop- 
ing lotuses.  The  upper  tier  of  these  pillars,  with  their  attached  bracket-capitals, 
are  carved  in  the  form  of  a  plantain  flower,  and  the  ornamentation  on  the  face 
of  the  pillars  is  that  of  the  padama,  lotus  ornament. 

On  either  side  of  the  central  hall  are  colossal,  figures  of  a  sedent  Buddha 
and  Vishnu.  The  hands  of  the  seated  Buddha,  are  as  usual,  placed  in  the  lap, 
the  back  of  the  right  hand  resting  on  the  left  palm,  and  the  crossed  feet  showing 
the  sacred  marks  on  the  soles. 

The  figure  of  Vishnu,  usually  ranked  as  the   second   of  the   Hindu  triad,  is 


112  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

represented  four-armed,  the  back  pair  of  hands  holding  his  discus  and  chank, 
with  his  vehicle,  the  winged  garuda  behind,  and  standing  on  a  pedestal.  The 
"  lotus-god  "  is,  as  usual,  painted  blue. 

The  whole  building  is  enclosed  with  an  ornamental  facade,  there  being  eight 
windows  to  each  annex  and  four  of  double  width  to  the  central  hall.  The  win- 
dows have  architraves  carved  with  the  water-leaf  superficial  ornamentation,  and 
under  each  window  is  a  panel  containing  conventional  and  other  designs  in  bas- 
relief.  The  upper  part  of  the  window  is  formed  of  an  ornamental  arch,  carved 
with  the  same  pattern  as  the  architrave.  The  carved  architrave  terminates  with 
a  shoulder  enriched  with  the  creeper-knot  ornament. 

The  whole  exterior  of  the  building  is  framed  with  satinwood,  ornamented 
with  Kandyan  scroll-work,  and  the  roofs,  which  have  large  projecting  eaves,  are 
terminated  at  the  eaves-line  with  valance  tiles  of  a  pattern  found  in  frequent  use 
in  Kandyan  buildings.  All  the  roofs,  which  are  covered  with  imitation  pan-tiles, 
are  framed  with  a  break  of  line  a  little  more  than  half  way  up  the  slope,  which 
is  especially  characteristic  of  Kandyan  architecture.  The  roofs  over  the  central 
hall  and  tea  room  rise  in  three  tiers,  and  the  whole  is  surmounted  by  a  kota,  or 
spire,  terminating  in  a  hammered  brass  finial  exactly  similar  to  the  one  surmount- 
ing the  Temple  of  the  Sacred  Tooth  of  Buddha  at  Kandy.  All  the  ends  of  pro- 
jecting beams,  or  gones,  are  highly  carved,  and  the  terminations  of  the  rafters 
are  cut  in  the  manner  and  form  peculiar  to  the  architecture  of  the  building. 

Of  the  panels  under  the  windows,  that  under  the  third  window  from  the 
southeast  corner  is  a  representation  of  the  Ira-handa,  the  sun-and-moon  symbol 
of  the  Four  Korales,  with  the  lion  holding  two  daggers. 

The  exhibits  are  ranged  round  the  hall  and  annexes  in  handsome  cases 
made  of  satinwood  and  ebony,  the  lower  panels  having  the  form  of  the  torana, 
or  Singhalese  arch.  Other  exhibits  are  disposed  round  the  walls  and  pillars  of 
the  building. 

Close  to  the  court  and  immediately  to  the  northwest  is  a  building  in  the 
form  of  a  dagaba,  set  apart  for  the  use  of  the  Ceylon  court  staff.  It  is  an  exact 
representation  of  the  Ruwanveli  dagaba  at  Anuradhapura,  as  taken  from  a 
model  carved  in  stone  which  stands  within  the  pradakshina,  or  "procession  path." 
Ruwanveli  dagaba  was  commenced  by  King  Dutugamunu  in  the  year  161  B.  C, 
and  completed  137  B.  C.  It  is  constructed  of  solid  brickwork,  rising  to  a  height 
of  150  feet,  with  a  diameter  at  the  base  of  379  feet.  The  original  outline  of  the 
dagaba  was  destroyed  by  the  Malabars  in  12 14  A.  D. 

The  minor  court  in  the  Manufactures  Building  is  of  similar  design  as  regards 
pillars,  paintings,  etc.,  to  the  main  building,  as  are  also  those  in  the  Agricultural 
and  Woman's  buildings. 

The  Ladies  Committee  for  Ceylon  consists  of  Lady  Havelock,  President 
Lady  Burnside,  Lady  Grenier,  Lady  de  Soyza,  Mrs.  Copleston,  Mrs.  Allanson 
Bailey,  Mrs.  Dawson,  Mrs.  Grinlinton,  Mrs.  Mitchell.  Some  excellent  exhibits 
in  lace,  the  work  of  natives  of  the  island,  and  some  works  of  art,  all  being  the 
work  of  women's  hands,  were  collected  by  the  committee,  and  form  an  interesting 
feature  in  Ceylon's  miniature  court  in  the  Woman's  Building. 

Indian  corn,  sugar,  coffee,  tea,  cocoa,  cardamons  and  cinnamon,  essential 
oils,  flax,  fibres,  rope,  farming  utensils,  horns  and  teeth,  tusks,  woods,  etc.,  are 
exhibited  in  the  Department  of  Agriculture. 

In  the  Department  of  Fisheries  can  be  seen  fishing  tackle,  boats,  fish  prod- 
ucts, mussel  shells,  aquatic  birds,  pearl  fishery  and  appliances,  pearl  oysters,  etc. 

Machines  for  cleaning  skins,  jewelers'  and  silversmiths'  tools,  tile  and  brick- 
makers'  tools,  gem  polishers,  etc.,  are  exhibited  in  the  Department  of  Machinery. 

In  the  Department  of  Transportation  Exhibits  can  be  seen  bullock  carts, 
models  and  appliances  of  war  ships,  rowing  and  fishing  boats,  etc. 

Medicinal  drugs,  vanilla,  native  ink,  furniture,  mounted  elephants'  tusks, 
pottery,  bronze  and  brass  goods,  ivory  articles,  jewelry,  Kandyan  cloth,  artificial 
flowers,  hides  and  skins,  cutlery,  etc.,  are  on  exhibition  in  the  Department  of 
Manufactures.

and  musical  instruments. 

CHILI. 
S.  M.  Harris,  representative  from  the  English  Nitrate  Company. 

A  complete  display  of  nitrate  from  Chili  is  made  in  the  Department  of  Mines 
and  Mining.  The  action  of  nitrates  as  a  fertilizer  is  also  shown  in  the  departments 
of  Agriculture  and  Horticulture. 

COLOMBIA. 
Mr.  To  Paredes,  Special  Commissioner  for  Antioquia;  Mr.    H.    R.    Lemly,   Commissioner 
General;  Mr.  E.  E.  Britton,  Commissioner  for  Antioquia;  Mr.  Miguel  Montoya,  Commissioner 
for  Boyaca;  Mr,  Juan  M.  Davila,  Commissioner  for  Magdalena. 

The  building  erected  for  the  Republic  of  Colombia  has  a  frontage  of  56  feet 
and  a  height  of  60  feet.  In  the  center  a  dome  rises  in  conic  form,  crowned  at 
the  top  with  a  large  condor,  which  is  the  symbol  of  the  country.  On  each  side  of 
the  building  there  is  a  hothouse,  which  is  12x24  feet,  communicating  with  the 
central  part.  The  building  has  two  floors.  A  large  staircase  leads  up  from  the 
rear  side  of  the  center  to  the  second  floor,  wmich  forms  a  gallery  all  around  the 
building.  The  style  of  architecture  is  essentially  French.  The  two  corners  in 
front  corresponding  with  the  dome  are  crowned  by  two  groups  of  children  sup- 
porting a  globe  from  which  two  flagstaffs  project.     The  dome  is  in  glass. 

This  is  a  handsome  and  graceful  building  on  account  of  the  quantity  of  such 
details  and  the  correctness  of  its  lines.  In  the  interior  there  are  a  number  of 
showcases  and  shelves,  upon  which  the  wealth  of  the  country  and  its  most 
remarkable  objects  are  exhibited.  There  is  also  a  reception  room  with  hand- 
some furniture.  The  building  is  finished  in  wood,  staff,  iron  and  zinc,  and  cost 
$20,000.

The  Costa  Rica  Building  is  situated  at  the  east  end  of  the  north  pond  facing 
west,  and  the  location  is  one  of  the  best  in  the  confines  of  the  grounds.  Across  the 
north  pond,  and  within  a  distance  to  be  fully  appreciated,  are  the  Illinois,  Wash- 
ington, Indiana,  Ohio  and  Wisconsin  Buildings.  To  the  right  are  the  Galleries 
of  Fine  Arts,  and  on  the  left  stand  .Guatemala  and  Spain,  while  as  a  back- 
ground and  not  far  distant,  Lake  Michigan  murmurs  praise  to  the  efforts  of 
mortal  man.  The  building  is  Doric  in  style;  is  103  feet  long  by  60  feet  wide, 
two  stories  and  clearstory,  making  the  full  height  50  feet.  On  each  side  is  a 
Doric  portico  22  feet  wide,  supported  by  four  large  pilasters.  Three  easy  steps 
lead  up  to  the  main  floor,  and  opposite  this  front  entrance  broad  double  stair- 
ways lead  to  the  second,  or  gallery  floor,  supported  by  eighteen  columns  rising 
to  the  full  height  of  the  clearstory.  The  cornices,  frieze  moulding,  caps  and 
bases,  window  casements,  etc.,  are  made  of  iron.  The  main  walls  are  cemented, 
and  all  is  painted  in  effective  colors.  The  inside  walls  are  plastered,  and  the 
walls  and  timber  work  are  frescoed  in  a  modest  and  becoming  manner.  The 
building  is  lighted  by  twenty  large  double  casement  windows  in  the  first  story, 
and  ten  large  skylights  in  the  roof  of  the  clearstory,  while  on  all  sides  of  the 
latter  the  windows  are  pivoted  so  that  when  opened  they  will  afford  perfect  ven- 
tilation Ample  toilet  rooms  have  been  provided  on  each  floor.  Over  each 
main  entrance  to  the  building  is  placed  the  National  shield  of  the  Central 
American  republic  in  bold  relief,  making  a  striking  addition  to  the  decorative 
part  of  the  work.     The  building  cost  $20,000.

in  a  pavilion  connected  with  that  of  Spain  and  the  Philippine  Islands.     It  con- 
sists principally  of  sugar,  tobaccos,  spices  and  dye  stuffs. 

CURACAO. 

Mr.  Milton  O.  Higgins,  Commissioner. 

Under  this  general  head  the  islands  of  Curacao,  Aruba,  Bonaire  and  little 
Curacao,  a  part  of  the  Dutch  West  Indies,  make  a  collective  exhibit  in  the 
Agricultural  Building.  The  principal  aVticles  exhibited  are  salt,  phosphates, 
Curacao  orange  peel  and  the  liquor,  shells,  sponges  and  other  marine  growths, 
models  of  fishing  boats  and  native  dwelling-houses,  native  furniture,  pottery  and 
tools,  baskets  and  Panama  straw  work,  leather,  wax  goods,  aloes,  snuff,  licorice, 
grains  and  agricultural  products,  preserved  fruits  and  jellies,  gums,  musical  in- 
struments, woods  and  gold  quartz,  native  jewelry,  gold,  silver  and  copper, 
women's  needle  work  and  embroidery,  and  shells,  sea  weed  and  feather  work. 
Antiquities  of  the  ancient  Caribs,  including  a  burial  urn  with  the  skeleton  found 
therein,  are  of  interest. 

These  islands -are  small  in  area  and  situated  in  the  Caribbean  sea  off  the 
North  coast  of  Venezuela.  They  have  been  owned  in  succession  by  the  Spanish, 
English,  and  Dutch,  who  now  hold  them.  They  have  a  resident  governor,  the 
Hon.  J.  H.  R.  Beaujon,  and  are  in  the  line  of  the  weekly  steamer  from  New  York 
and  Caracas,  Venezuela.  The  climate  is  agreeable  though  dry,  but  owing  to  the 
industry  of  the  Dutch  planters,  crops  of  sugar,  indigo,  cocoa  and  other  tropical 
products  are  raised. 

There  are  quite  extensive  beds  of  phosphate  on  the  islands  of  Amba  and 
Curacao,  but  they  are  not  worked  as  extensively  now  as  in  former  years. 

The  local  committee  was  organized  in  response  to  the  invitation  from  the 
President  of  the  United  States  to  foreign  countries  to  participate,  and  consists  of 
the  influential  citizens  of  the  islands;  the  president  of  the  committee  being  the 
Hon.  J.  H.  R.  Beaujon,  governor  of  the  islands;  Edward  J.  VanLier  is  secretary 
of  the  committee. 

Upon  request  of  the  Board  of  Lady  Managersat  Chicago,  a  committee  was 
organized  to  make  an  exhibit  of  women's  work,  consisting  of  the  following  ladies: 
Mesdames  Van  Romondt  Knoch,  wife  of  the  commandant  of  the  forts,  and 
Gaerste-Green,  and  Misses  M.  E.  Bruinier,  J.  Boomgaart,  Rea.  Cohen,  Henriquer, 
E.  Ley  Ca  and  Mina  Schotbergh. 

An  interesting  exhibit  is  a  model  of  the  Island  of  St.  Thomas,  Danish  West 
Indies.  It  is  about  eight  feet  by  four,  built  to  a  scale  of  six  inches  to  the  mile, 
painted  in  natural  colors,  showing  the  roads,  country  houses,  ships  and  steamers 
in  the  harbor  and  the  pretty  town  of  Charlotte  Amalia,  with  its  two  old  legend- 
ary towers  of  Blackbeard  and  Bluebeard.  It  is  set  into  a  table  enameled  in  black, 
edged  with  gold,  with  terra  cotta  paintings  of  various  spots  of  interest  on  the 
island,  the  whole  being  covered  with  plate  glass. 

DENMARK. 

Mr.  C.  Michelsen,  President  of  Commission;  Mr.  Emil  Meyer,  Commissioner  General; 
Mr.  Oscar  Matthiesen,  Commissioner  of  Fine  Arts;  Mr.  Otto  A.  Dreier,  Secretary  of  Commission; 
Mr.  Carl  Cortsen,  Chief  of  Installation;  Mr.  K.  Arne  Peterson,  Architect;  Mr,  Christian  Nielsen, 
Decorator;  Mr.  V.  Christesen,  Delegate;  Mr.  Bernhard  Hertz,  Delegate;  Mr.  H.  A.  Kahler, 
Delegate;  Mr.  Carl  Rohl-Smith,  Delegate  for  Fine  Arts;  Dr.  Charles  E.  Taylor,  F.  R.  G.  S., 
Special  Delegate  from  Danish  West  Indies. 

The  Danish  exhibits  are  principally  in  the  Manufactures  and  Agricultural 
buildings  and  in  the  Art  Palace  and  the  Woman's  Building.  The  main  exhibit 
in  the  Manufactures  Building  is  the  finest  that  has  ever  been  made  by  Denmark. 
The  pavilion  which  fronts  on  the  main  aisle  of  the  building,  represents  on  its 
facade  the  coat  of  arms  of  the  city  of  Copenhagen.  On  the  sides  of  the  pavilion 
paintings  by  Danish  artists  of  local  and  colonial  scenery  are  hung,  and  in  the 
interior  the  decorations  are  magnificent  and  unique.  Among  the  interesting 
points  of  the  interior  is  an  exact  reproduction  of  a  room  in  the  house  of  Hans 
Andersen. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  115 

In  the  Woman's  Building  are  shown  a  number  of  exhibits  from  the  Danish 
women.  The  Queen  sent  a  painting,  a  floral  piece  of  roses  and  lilies;  the  Crown 
Princess,  old  embroideries  and  handkerchiefs;  the  Princess  Marie  of  Denmark, 
three  large  acquarelles;  the  Countess  Rohan-Ledtzen,  national  costumes  of 
Aneager  and  Filer;  the  Baroness  Reedl-Thosa,  old  linen  embroidery  and  antique 
carved  wooden  appliances  for  laundry  work;  the  Countess  Moltke  Bregenteid, 
linen  embroideries  by  Hedebo  peasants;  C.  Stanshohen,  yellow  silk  embroideries

people. 

Iceland  sagas,  bearing  on  the  early  discoveries  of  the  Norsemen  and  the 
stories  of  their  trips  to  Vinland  and  North  America,  have  been  lent  by  the  Dan- 
ish government  to  the  United  States  for  exhibition  at  the  Exposition.  These 
sagas  are  entitled  Codex  Fluteyensis.  It  required  a  great  deal  of  red  tape  to  se- 
cure these  valuable  manuscripts.  Before  permitting  them  to  leave  Copenhagen 
the  Danish  government  stipulated  that  in  case  of  the  total  loss  $20,000  must  be 
paid  for  them  and  all  expenses  incident  to  their  exhibition.  They  are  to  be  re- 
turned by  a  United  States  man-of-war. 

In  the  Department  of  Agriculture  are  dairy  appliances,  butter  in  tins,  con- 
densed milk,  machine  and  hand  churns,  beer,  liquors,  axle-grease,  etc.

ferent  articles  pertaining  to  the  two  tribes  Quitus  and  Canaris,  and  dating  ante- 
rior to  the  Spanish  Conquest,  are  placed  in  a  separate  casing  thus  form- 
ing an  interesting  attraction  to  scientific  visitors.  This  archasologic  and' 
ethnologic  collection  was  very  highly  praised  at  the  Madrid  Exposition,  and  is 
composed  in  the  greater  part  of  ancient  pottery  of  the  time  of  Seyris  and 
the  Incas  of  idols,  figures,  musical  instruments  made  of  baked  clay,  as  also 
a  few  of  stone  and  bronze,  as  human  figures,  domestic  utensils,  workmen's  tools 
and  instruments  of  war. 

Owing  to  the  inconvenience  of  transportation  such  a  great  distance  it  has 
not  been  possible  to  form  a  complete  exhibit  of  the  flora  and  fauna  of  Ecuador, 
but  among  the  few  specimens  forwarded  there  are,  without  doubt,  some  worthy 
of  the  study  of  those  interested  in  these  branches,  especially  so  in  the  contribution 
by  Sen.  Don  Augustin  Cousin,  member  of  the  Institute  of  Science,  Paris,  who  for- 
warded a  considerable  quantity  of  "moluscas." 

Finally,  men  of  letters  will  find  in  the  pavilion  works  of  the  most  distin- 
guished Ecuadorian  authors,  writers,  etc.,  such  as  the  epic  poems  by  Jose  Joa- 
quin Olmedo;  the  wofks  in  prose  by  Juan  Montalro;  History  of  Ecuador  by  Don 
Pedro  Fermin  Cerallos;  Studies  Archaeologic  by  Don  Federico  Gongalez  Suarez, 
the  eminent  divine,  and  the  dictionary  in  Quechua  and  Spanish  by  the  present 
President  of  Ecuador,  Dr.  Luis  Cordero,  who  is  as  eminent  in  literature  as  in 
politics.

In  March,  1892,  a  special  French  commission  was  appointed  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Secretary  of  State  for  Commerce-Industry  to  examine  the  proposi- 
tions made  for  a  credit  of  2,000,000  francs  for  sending  exhibits  of  French  firms 
to  the  Exposition,  but  the  sum  was  deemed  inadequate  and  4,000,000  francs  was 
granted.  The  credit  once  voted  the  greatest  activity  prevailed  in  France.  M. 
Camille  Krantz,  the  member  in  Parliament  for  the  Department  of  Vosges, 
was  appointed  commissioner-general.  With  him  were  also  appointed  M.  Ed- 
mond Bruwaert,  French  consul-general  in  Chicago,  as  deputy  commissioner,  and 
M  Monthier  as  general  secretary.  To  induce  the  French  people  to  send  exhibits 
thirty-nine  official  committees  were  organized  by  the  government,  each  one  of 
them  having  its  own  office  and  its  own  task;  namely,  to  obtain  adhesions  in  a 
given  line  of  industry  and  group  these  adhesions  together.  Meanwhile  space 
had  been  asked  for  and  obtained  in  every  one  of  the  departmental  buildings  at 
Jackson  Park.  These  spaces  were  divided  and  part  of  each  allotted  to  every 
committee,  the  committee  having  the  task  of  decorating  the  space  or  section 
thus  allotted  and  of  dividing  it  among  the  different  exhibitors  according  to  their 
importance.  So  great  was  the  number  of  French  firms  anxious  to  exhibit  that 
supplementary  spaces  had  to  be  asked  for;  but  this  request  could  be  only  par- 
tially granted. 

The  French  Pavilion  lies  near  the  shore  of  Lake  Michigan,  and  directly  east 
of  an  annex  of  the  Fine  Arts  Building.     The  outside  wall  is  decorated  with  paint-

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  117 

ings,  showing  various  views  of  Paris  and  government  buildings  there.  The  entire 
pavilion  has  a  frontage  of  200  feet,  and  a  depth  of  more  than  ioo  feet.  It  cost 
$100,000.  This  building  has  quite  an  historical  interest,  for  it  is  a  reproduction, 
on  a  small  scale,  of  the  Apollo  Hall  of  the  castle  of  Versailles.  It  was  in  this  hall 
that  King  Louis  XVI  officially  received  Benjamin  Franklin, Silas  Deane  and  Arthur 
Lee,  delegates  from  the  thirteen  original  States,  who  were  met  by  A.  Conrad, 
secretary  of  the  Council  of  State  of  France.  A  colonnade  of  graceful  design  in 
three  sections,  like  three  sides  of  a  rectangle,  connects  this  section  of  the  French 
building  with  another  composed  of  two  large  rooms  and  a  vestibule.  All  the 
exhibits  found  in  this  hall,  tapestries,  furniture  and  curios,  belong  to  the  War  of 
Independence.  One  can  see,  among  others,  the  bureau  from  the  library  of 
Lafayette.  Among  the  most  important  relics  figures  the  sword  of  honor  pre- 
sented to  Lafayette  in  1779  by  the  congress.  There  are  also  two  finger  rings 
containing  locks  of  hair  from  the  heads  of  Washington  and  his  wife,  some  busts 
of  Washington  and  Franklin  and  a  series  of  historical  portraits.  A  semi-circular 
colonnade  connects  the  pavilion,  belonging  itself,  as  far  as  the  outside  is  con- 
cerned, to  the  Corinthian  order,  to  another  pavilion,  where  is  found  the  collec- 
tions sent  by  the  city  of  Paris.  There  is,  the  world  over,  no  other  city  adminis- 
tration that  spends  more  money  for  the  welfare  of  its  citizens.  Schools,  infant 
asylums,  hospitals,  sewers,  streets,  boulevards,  avenues,  public  gardens,  bridges, 
all  these  different  public  services  make  special  exhibits.  Most  interesting 
among  others  is  the  one  sent  by  Dr.  Bertillon  to  illustrate  his  system  of  detect- 
ing criminals,  however  numerous  and  clever  may  be  their  aliases.  The  decora- 
tion of  the  pavilion's  north  front  is  quite  remarkable.  Under  the  portico,  views 
of  the  French  capital  adorn  each  bay,  and  the  garden  around  the  building  has 
been  designed  by  the  chief  gardener,  of  the  city  of  Paris. 

In  the  Department  of  Fine  Arts  the  works  of  the  French  masters  are  sub- 
divided in  three  different  classes.  For  once,  all  the  different  schools  decided  to 
appear  in  the  same  hall,  and  Gerome,  Detaille,  Maignan,  Flameng,  La  Touche, 
Bonnat,  among  many  others,  send  very  creditable  pictures,  well  worthy  of  their 
name  and  talent.  France  has  sent  to  this  country  to  superintend  this  exhibit  M. 
Henri  Giudicelli.  He  is  familiar  with  the  works  of  all  the  artists  of  France,  and 
every  day  is  on  duty  in  the  Fine  Arts  palace. 

All  the  leading  artists  of  France  have  taken  the  most  intense  pride  in  being  rep- 
resented at  the  Exposition.  Their  sentiments  are  increased  by  a  very  large  degree 
of  sympathy  which  French  artists  feel  for  American  artists,  so  many  American 
artists  having  their  studios  in  France,  and  so  many  of  them  taking  high  rank  and 
winning  distinction  in  the  exhibitions  held  at  Paris.  The  pictures  and  other 
works  were  selected  by  a  jury  which  was  extremely  careful  in  collecting  works 
of  art  to  be  sent.  Scarcely  one-third  of  the  works  presented  was  accepted. 
The  paintings  number  500,  the  drawings,  water  colors  and  pastels  200,  the 
engravings  150,  and  the  subjects  in  sculpture  155.  To  this  list  is  added  100 
architectural  panels  and  at  least  500  figures  of  large  size  representing  old  his- 
torical monuments.  Then  there  are  a  number  of  models,  medallions  and  objects 
of  art  which  the  French  government  buys  every  year  to  enrich  its  museums. 

The  French  display  in  the  Department  of  Manufactures  occupies  a  central 
position  on  the  west  side  of  the  main  aisle  and  represents  the  combined  archi- 
tecture of  what  might  be  called  the  Louis  periods.  The  entrance  is  a  semicircle  of 
columns  in  the  center  of  which  are  large  double  doors,  with  panels  bearing  painted 
allegorical  figures.  The  entire  pavilion  is  surrounded  with  a-  low  railing. 
There  are  twenty-six  arches  in  the  pavilion  and  each  represents  the  entrance 
to  a  drawing-room  made  in  an  especial  way  and  occupied  by  the  various  exhib- 
itors. The  first  is  the  republic-room  and  it  is  fitted  up  in  red  plush.  In  the 
center  is  a  statue  of  France  by  Folguere.  It  represents  the  figure  of  a  woman 
much  after  the  style  of  the  American  Goddess  of  Liberty.  In  this  room,  dis- 
played in  showcases,  are  laces  from  the  great  factories  and  from  the  home  work- 
ers.    The  walls  are  covered  with  paintings    illustrating    the  industry    and    the 


118  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

march  of  the  nation.  One  of  the  most  interesting  exhibits  is  the  Salle  de  Gobe- 
lin. This  is  called  the  throne  room,  only  there  is  no  throne  in  it.  The  friezes 
on  the  walls  represent  the  great  centers  of  trade  with  figures  of  Palissy,  Limoges 
and  Beveau.  At  the  back  is  a  huge  tapestry  representing  the  God-child  of 
fairies,  one  of  the  finest  and  best-known  Gobelins  in  France.  The  furniture 
room  is  magnificent,  and  in  it  is  displayed  the  most  beautiful  and  costly  furni- 
ture. There  is  one  divan  of  Louis  XIV  style  worth  $5,000  and  a  set  of  drawing- 
room  furniture  of  the  same  period  worth  five  times  as  much.  All  this  furniture 
is  covered  with  the  finest  tapestry  and  is  most  delicate  in  design  and  coloring. 
A  bride's  trousseau  is  exhibited  which  is,  perhaps,  the  most  costly  ever  made. 
Some  of  the  items  and  cost  will  illustrate:  The  silk  underskirt  is  made  of  embroid- 
ered white  silk  trimmed  with  lace,  and  is  valued  at  $2,300;  several  pieces  of 
underwear  worth  $200;  a  single  bed  sheet,  embroidered  in  silk,  worth  $1,000;  a 
pillowcase  worth  $160,  and  a  whole  case  of  robes  de  nuit  at  $500  a  piece.  The 
entire  outfit  is  worth  $25,000.  There  is  a  cradle  made  of  lace  worth  $3,000  and  a 
fine  display  of  all  the  wonderful  art.  Several  prominent  perfumers  in  France 
have  combined  inxme  room,  which  has  been  painted  a  delicate  nile  green.  In 
the  center  is  a  fountain  of  perfume.  It  will  be  changed  each  day,  and  it  will  not 
only  perfume  the  entire  space  but  the  public  is  at  liberty  to  perfume  their  hand- 
kerchiefs in  the  spray  free  of  all  charge.  A  display  represents  an  afternoon  tea 
at  which  all  of  the  latest  gowns  are  fitted  on  wax  figures.  The  silversmiths  and 
jewelers  have  a  most  elaborate  display.  In  the  gallery  are  shown  the  famous 
silks  from  Lyons  and  St.  Etienne,  with  a  pair  of  portieres  made  expressly  for 
this  Exposition,  on  which  are  embroidered  the  arms  of  this  country  and  France. 

The  1  rench  display  in  the  Woman's  Building  shows  the  work  of  women, 
but  the  most  striking  feature  is  a  large  group  of  figures  representing  the  differ- 
ent costumes  worn  by  the  people  of  France  from  the  earliest  days. 

In  the  Department  of  Agriculture  the  French  republic  has  a  fine  display  of 
all  its  products,  including  those  of  its  colonies.  The  colonies  have  erected 
a  pavilion  which  is  for  their  exclusive  use,  being  intended  to  show  the  entire 
products  of  their  countries.  The  display  is  made  in  the  east  entrance  of  the 
Agricultural  Building.  Seeds,  standard  samples  of  wheat,  choice  flowers,  refined 
sugars,  appear  side  by  side,  with  canned  goods,  green  peas,  mushrooms,  oils, 
plums,  nuts,  etc.  Agricultural  implements  and  illustrations  of  agricultural  teach- 
ing are  found  in  two  other  different  sections.  There  are  over  seventy-five  millions 
of  people  living  in  the  many  colonies  France  has  in  various  countries  such  as 
Algeria,  Tunis,  Senegal,  Madagascar  and  Indo-China,  all  under  French  rule. 
The  exhibits  from  these  colonies  are  partly  in  the  Agricultural  Building,  partly 
outside.  The  Algerian  products  are  located  in  an  Arab  pavilion,  reproducing  one 
of  the  most  charming  buildings  of  Algiers.  Outside  the  Agricultural  Building, 
on  the  shore  of  the  south  lagoon,  is  the  Tunisian  pavilion,  surrounded  by  soucks 
and  the  Annamit  pavilion  where  are  gathered  most  of  the  exhibits  sent  by  French 
colonies,  among  others  New  Caledonia's  celebrated  nickel  ores,  the  king  of 
Annam  treasury,  photographic  views  of  St.  Peter,  Miguelon  Islands.  France 
is,  above  all,  an  agricultural  country.  Out  of  her  thirty-eight  millions  of  inhab- 
itants on  the  continent  alone  fully  more  than  twenty  millions  are  raising  food 
products,  cereals,  wheat,  corn,  sugar  beets,  flax,  hemp,  vegetables,  olive  trees,  etc. 

In  Machinery  Hall  are  exhibited  steel  and  iron  products  from  various  sec- 
tions of  the  republic,  showing  guns,  shells,  plates  for  ironclads,  soap-making 
machinery,  weaving  looms,  etc. 

In  the  Electricity  Building  the  French  section  lies  in  the  northwest  corner.  It 
is  divided  in  two  parts,  one  containing  national  and  the  other  private  exhibits. 
In  France  the  government  has  a  monopoly  concerning  the  use  of  telegraph  and 
telephones  and  no  private  corporation  can  compete  with  it  in  this  line.  The 
national  exhibit  shows  how  the  telegraphic  service  is  organized  in  France  and 
operators  are  seen  at  work.  Self-acting  apparatus  automatically  register- 
ing any  change  in  the  temperature,  direction  of  the  wind  or  atmospheric  mois- 
ture, are  also  shown. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  119 

Coal,  cement,  asphalt,  slates  and  metallic  products  are  shown  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Mines. 

Railroad  engines,  steel  tires,  railroad  supplies,  carriages,  landaus,  dog  carts, 
saddles,  harness,  models  of  ocean  steamers,  sedan  chairs,  etc.,  are  shown  in  the 
Department  of  Transportation  Exhibits. 

Wine,  the  national  beverage  of  France,  is  shown  in  the  Department  of  Hor- 
ticulture, where  samples  of  many  famous  brands  may  be  seen.  Then  there  are 
cordials,  Chartreuse,  Benedictine  and  other  liqueurs,  mineral  waters,  etc.  A  splen- 
did floral  exhibit  is  also  made. 

Exhibits  are  also  made  in  the  Shoe  and  Leather  Building  and  the  Dairy  and 
Forestry  Departments. 

In  the  Department  of  Liberal  Arts  the  leading  publishers  of  France  are  rep- 
resented. The  collection  is  particularly  rich  in  ouvrages  de  luxe.  Among  these 
are,  from  the  Pions,  "  Les  Maitres  Florentins  du  XV  Siecle,"  containing  thirty 
drawings  by  Count  Delaborde  and  W.  Haussoullier,  after  original  paintings  and 
sculptures  in  Thiers'  collection,  a  folio  volume  costing  300  francs;  from  Edouard 
Rouveyre,  the  first  of  two  volumes  devoted  to  the  manuscripts  of  Leonardo  da 
Vinci,  with  fac-similes  or  reproductions  of  the  originals;  a  dozen  notable  works 
from  the  press  of  Thezard,  dealing  with  the  subject  of  art  as  applied  to  decora- 
tion and  house  furnishing;  another  dozen  of  magnificent  volumes  bearing  the 
imprint  of  the  Hachettes  and  others.  Besides,  musical  instruments,  etc.,  are  to 
be  seen  in  various  groups. 

Altogether,  France  did  her  best  to  cheerfully  answer  the  invitation  extended 
to  her  to  participate  in  the  Columbian  celebration,  and  one  can  be  easily  con- 
vinced of  her  good  will  by  going  over  the  different  spaces  she  has  been  allotted 
in  every  department,  and  which  have  been  occupied,  not  without  a  large  laying 
out  of  money  by  the  government  as  well  as  by  the  private  exhibitors. 

Not  less  than  $10,000,000  worth  of  goods  are  displayed,  and  the  total  amount 
of  space  occupied  is  about  450,000  square  feet.

The  construction  of  the  German  Building  has  been  with  a  view  of  making  it 
not  only  an  imposing  structure,  worth}/  of  the  great  nation  it  represents,  but  at 


120  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

the  ^atne  time  an  essentially  German  house  in  its  characteristics.  Precedent  and 
the  dignity  of  such  a  power  demanded  that  its  representatives  in  a  foreign  coun- 
try be  housed  in  a  manner  to  do  credit  to  the  Fatherland.  Realizing  these  facts 
in  Berlin  much  care  was  taken  in  constructing  the  "  Deutsche  Haus  "  in  such  a 
way  as  to  do  credit  to  Teutonia.  It  is  situated  in  the  northeastern  portion  of  the 
grounds,  facing  the  lake.  It  lies  near  the  Swedish  building,  and  immediately 
east  of  the  Illinois  State  Building.  A  fine  view  is  afforded  of  the  Hall  of  Fine 
Arts  to  the  northwest,  and  of  the  Fisheries,  Manufactureres  and  United  States 
Government  Buildings  to  the  southwest.  It  is  composed  of  Gothic,  German 
renaissance  and  the  modern  styles  of  German  architecture.  The  main  building 
is  1 30x1 12  feet  in  breadth  and  depth,  and  is  two  stories  high.  To  the  longitudinal 
section  of  the  main  entrance  a  chapel-shaped  structure  has  been  attached,  thus 
making  the  section  169  feet.  Excellent  architectural  effect  is  produced  by  pro- 
jections, which  seem  to  be  the  natural  outgrowth  of  the  smooth  walls,  which, 
together  with  the  high  gable  roof,  which  ascends  to  a  quadrangular  turret,  and  bell 
tower,  105  feet  high,  make  a  striking  picture  of  architectural  beauty.  The  dome  of 
the  tower  is  in  the  Byzantine  style.  The  outer  walls  are  of  a  massive  appearance 
and  are  decorated  with  scenes  in  the  style  used  in  Muenchen  and  Nuremberg,  repre- 
senting masterworks  of  the  German  art  of  bronze  founding.  The  entire  main 
front  is  of  a  light  color,  broken  by  reliefs  similar  to  those  on  the  Tucherhaus  on 
Friedrickstrasse  in  Berlin.  The  front  shows  the  old  German  Imperial  eagle  from 
the  time  of  the  Hohaustaufen  bearing  a  shield  with  the  eagle  of  Prussia.  Under 
the  symbols  of  the  new  empire,  the  crown  and  scepter,  are  grouped  the  coat  of 
arms  of  the  various  States  of  the  German  Union.  The  upper  structure  is  vari- 
colored to  the  steep  roof,  which  is  covered  with  glazed  tiles.  Above  the  main 
entrance  the  visitor  is  welcomed  by  the  following  sentences:  "Bountiful  and 
Powerful;"  "Rich  in  Corn  and  Wine;"  "Full  of  Strength  and  Energy;"  "Mother 
of  the  Sweetest  Tunes  and  Home  of  the  Greatest  Thoughts;"  "I  Shall  Sing  Thy 
Praise,  O  Fatherland  Mine."  To  the  left  of  an  elaborately  ornamented  hall  are 
the  reception  room  and  offices  of  the  Imperial  Commissioners.  This  high  double 
hall  is  42  feet  high,  the  two  divisions  of  which  are  separated  by  a  colonnade  21 
feet  wide.  The  hall  occupies,  with  the  exception  of  the  apartments  referred  to, 
the  whole  body  of  the  main  building  and  forms  a  longitudinal  quadrangle  108  feet 
in  breadth,  covering  a  space  of  7,569  square  feet.  This  hall  is  occupied  by  the  dis- 
plays of  the  German  book  manufacturers,  and  the  literature  of  the  country  is  fully 
represented  In  the  chapel-shaped  annex,  ecclesiastical  art  is  displayed,  show- 
ing altars,  organs,  etc.  From  the  bell-tower  the  chimes  exhibited  by  the  society 
of  Bochum  peal  forth  their  silvery  strains.  These  chimes  will  be  donated  to 
Grace  Church  in  Berlin  after  the  close  of  the  Exposition. 

This  building  and  its  contents  form  an  attraction  separate  from  the  German 
village,  which  occupies  17,500  square  feet  on  the  north  or  Fifty-ninth  street  side 
of  the  Midway  Plaisance  where  it  is  intersected  by  Kimbark  ave.  This  village 
came  from  Germany  in  a  shipment  of  over  6,000  pieces,  representing  farm  build- 
ings, markets,  shops,  meeting  hall  and  church,  all  in  the  style  of  the  twelfth  cen- 
tury. It  contains  many  interesting  antiquities  from  the  German  museum  at 
Mayence. 

Beside  being  the  official  abode  of  the  Imperial  Commission,  accommoda- 
tions have  been  provided  in  the' German  Imperial  Building  for  delegates  from  the 
German  empire  and  as  a  resting  place  for  the  weary  German  sightseer,  where  an 
opportunity  is  afforded  him  to  meet  his  countrymen. 

The  plans  of  the  German  Building  were  designed  by  the  Imperial  architect, 
but  it  owes  its  material  existence  in  part  to  a  number  of  patriotic  manufacturers, 
who,  inspired  by  the  glory  of  their  country,  contributed  freely  in  materials  and 
money. 

Germany  has  an  exhibit  worth  40,000,000  marks,  or  over  $10,000,000.  Space 
was  taken  in  nine  different  buildings,  and  outside  of  these  are  the  Krupp  display. 

Occupying  a  prominent  place  in  the  Transportation  Exhibits  Building  is   a 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  121 

museum  of  the  progression  in  railway  tracks,  the  only  one  in  the  world.  An 
attempt  is  made  in  this  display  to  enhance  the  value  of  the  modern  methods  by 
comparison.  Each  railway  engine  and  car  stands  beside  a  model  of  the  first  of  its 
kind  ever  used  in  the  country.  Germany  claims  much  for  its  railway  postal 
facilities,  and  displays  one  of  the  new  postal  cars  which  were  made  on  a  model 
of  the  ones  used  by  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul  road,  and  beside  it  stands 
a  portion  of  the  first  postal  car  ever  used  in  the  kingdom  of  Prussia — a  cramped, 
rickety,  antiquated  vehicle,  making  the  contrast  startling.  This  display  occupies 
one  of  the  largest  spaces  in  the  building. 

Close  beside  the  American  Bell  telephone  display  the  Germans  have  a  large 
space  in  the  Electrical  Building.  Many  of  the  more  modern  appliances  of  elec- 
tricity in  Germany  are  American.  It  embraces  the  system  of  army  signals 
recently  introduced  and  the  German  system   of  electric  lighting  and  telegraphy. 

In  Machinery  Hall  there  is  a  most  extensive  showing.  A  firm  of  famous 
iron  kings  of  Germany  has  two  gigantic  columns — one  representing  iron-pipe, 
the  other  wire  and  wrought  iron.  These  are  connected  by  a  massive  iron  door, 
showing  ornamental  work  in  cast  iron  and  they  are  flanked  on  either  side  by  two 
obelisks,  one  of  steel  and  one  of  iron,  fifty  feet  high.  This  firm  also  shows  some 
of  the  machinery  it  uses  in  working  in  iron. 

Beer  has  the  place  of  honor  in  the  Agricultural  Building.  Extensive  dis- 
plays from  the  famous  breweries  of  Lowent,  Kaulmach,  the  Hoffs,  Munich, 
Bergerbraen  and  Frankelbraen  are  made  in  bottles  and  casks  and  a  miniature 
brewery  is  run  showing  how  they  make  beer  in  the  Fatherland.  Waters  from 
Ems,  Baden-Baden  and  Weisbaden  attract  those' to  whom  beer  has  no  charms, 
and  extensive  exhibits  are  made  in  the  forestry  and  dairy- displays.  Outside  of 
the  building  they  have  a  space  to  show  model  farming,  where  considerable  atten- 
tion is  given  to  the  various  systems  of  fertilizing  in  use. 

Of  all  the  foreign  exhibits  in  the  Department  of  Manufactures  Germany's  is 
perhaps  the  largest.     Their  space  is  in  the  northwest  center  of  the  hall  facing 
the  big  clock  tower.     The  decorative  structure  which  marks  the  corner  of  the 
German  exhibit  is  done  in  the  style  of  German  renaissance.     It  forms  the  quarter 
of  a  circle  with  a  square  tower  at  either  end,  supported  by  four  Ionic  pillars  and 
having  a  decorated  plinth  upholding  golden  eagles  as  the  crowning  features.     An 
archway  extends  through  these  towers  and  on  the  two  blank  walls  are  carved 
and  gilded  medallions.     At  the  base  of  each  of  these  towers  is  a  cleverly-modeled 
fountain  representing  a  dolphin  spouting  water  into  a  seashell  basin  upheld  by  a 
devilfish.     Between  the  two  fountains  is  another  basin,  which  receives  the  over- 
flow from  these  basins  and  the  water  from  a  third  fountain,  which  is  a  part  of 
this  feature  of  the  exhibit.     Connecting  the  two  towers  is  a  curved  archway  with 
artistic  medallions  on  either  side,  surmounted  by  a  group  fountain,  of  which 
Neptune,  with  his  trident,  is  the  central  figure.     On  either  side  of  this  figure  is  a 
wrater  horse  with  ears  erect  spouting  water  from  pipes  held  in  the  mouth  and 
each  controlled  by  mermaids.     Two  wrought  iron  gates  on  either  side  of  the 
towers  lead  into  a  richly-furnished  room,  which  surrounds  the  tower  and  in  which 
is  shown  a  large  collection  of  honorary  presentations  to  Emperor  William,  Prince 
Bismarck,  Count  von  Moltke,  and  the  sovereigns  of  the  German  States.     Just  to 
the  north  of  the  corner  piece  and  separating  it  from  the  gold  and  silver  display, 
behind  the  great  wrought  iron  fence,  is  a  room  beautifully  decorated,  in  which  is 
shown  the  exhibit  of  Bavarian  industrial  art.     At  the  south  entrance  is  the  palace 
of  King  Ludwig.     This  is  the  most  elaborate  interior  on  the  floor.     Each  room 
opens  to  the  aisle,  and  all  differ  in  design.     One  is  gold,  inlaid  marble,  and  the 
center  one  a  drawing-room  with  frescoes  worth  a  small  fortune.     The  inlaid  marble 
work  is  remarkable,  and  represents  fruits  and  flowers  cut  out  of  colored  marble 
and  put  into  the  white.     North  of  this  are  four  rustic  work  pagodas  which  are 
used  by  the  famous  textile  firms  of  Germany.     One  is  occupied  by  an  Axminster 
carpet  firm  of  R^isnitz.     In  front  of  it  hangs  a  piece  of  carpet  which  took  six 
months  to  make,  and  which  has  one  million  tufts  in  it.     They  have  fitted  up  two

rooms,  one  a  lady's  boudoir  and  the  other  a  gentleman's  lounging-room,  both 
hung  with  rugs  and  draperies  and  furnished  with  beautiful  furniture.  Next  to 
them  is  the  exhibit  of  the  Royal  Saxon  China  manufactory  at  Meissen.  This 
exhibit  alone  weighs  sixty  tons,  and  is  worth  $500,000.  It  includes  some  of  the 
most  delicate  work  of  the  famous  pottery.  Bohemia. is  noted  for  its  glass  to  a 
greater  extent  than  Newcastle  is  for  coal,  and  the  exhibit  is  bewildering.  There 
is  glassware  of  all  descriptions,  and  some  of  it  almost  priceless.  The  exhibit  is 
all  in  show  cases,  and  is  guarded  night  and  day  by  two  stalwart  Bohemians. 
This  is  said  to  be  the  finest  collection  ever  shipped  to  this  country.  The  vases 
are  all  hand  painted  and  burned,  and  have  that  deep-blue  color  which  distin- 
guishes the  Saxon  ware  from  all  others.  In  this  collection  are  also  a  large  num- 
ber of  plates  decorated  after  Chinese  designs  in  blue  and  gold.  One  delicate 
little  soup  plate  was  invoiced  at  $60,  and  a  platter,  whose  chief  reason  for  exist- 
ence is  to  decorate  a  mantle  shelf  and  look  pretty,  is  valued  at  $120.  Under  the 
gallery  in  the  German  space  little  rooms  have  been  made  between  girders,  and 
each  is  occupied  by  some  firm  with  a  particular  line  of  goods.  One  of  these  is 
taken  by  the  clock  factory  of  the  Black  Forest,  where  no  less  than  forty  differ- 
ent varieties  of  cuckoo  clocks  are  shown.  With  the  exception  of  the  weight 
and  chains  the  clocks  are  made  of  wood,  and  it  is  the  intention  of  the  exhibitor 
to  keep  the  forty  cuckoos  at  work  all  of  the  time. 

In  this  building  is  also  an  extensive  display  of  jewelry  and  silverware, 
and  prominent  among  the  latter  is  some  of  the  plate  which  has  been  pre- 
sented by  the  different  German  states  to  Emperors  William  I  and  II,  Von 
Moltke  and  Bismarck.  Much  of  this  was  given  as  a  souvenir  of  some  particular 
battle  and  forms  a  sort  of  historical  object  lesson.  Especial  attention  was  paid 
to  a  collection  of  vases  and  jardenieres,  ancient  and  modern,  and  a  large  space 
was  allotted  to  the  royal  Prussian,  Bavarian  and  Saxon  porcelain  makers.  In  this 
building,  also,  may  be  seen  an  extensive  school  exhibit  arranged  by  the  royal 
Prussian  minister  of  education,  which  includes  a  model  school  building. 

In  addition  to  2,660  square  feet  assigned  to  German  plants  inside  the  Horti- 
cultural Building  32,234  square  feet  have  been  given  to  that  country  outside  for 
plants  and  flowers,  as  follows:  2,000  feet  for  standard  roses,  6,000  for  dwarf, 
1,000  for  carnations,  290  for  begonias,  100  for  cannas,  20,000  for  dahlias,  630  for 
chrysanthemums,  610  for  asters,  20  for  zinnias,  200  for  summer  flowers,  250  for 
clematis,  1,000  for  herbaceous  plants,  90  for  tritonia  uvaria,  90  for  lily  of  the  val- 
ley, and  50  for  rochea  falcata.  In  all  the  German  Empire  has  been  given  space 
for  35,006  square  feet  for  its  floricultural  exhibit. 

Germany  has  sent  a  commission  consisting  of  university  professors  to 
Chicago  to  represent  the  educational  exhibit  made  by  the  Fatherland.  The 
gentlemen  forming  the  commission  are  Prof.  Stephen  W7aetzold,  commissioner 
general;  Z  Zaffe,  government  architect;  Prof.  Dr.  Dittmar  Finkler;  Dr.  H. 
Lichtenfeld  and  Dr.  Kallen,  district  school  inspectors. 

A  novel  feature  is  introduced  in  Horticultural  Hall,  This  a  long  model  of 
the  Rhine  district,  showing  the  winding  of  the  river,  the  steep  bluffs  with  the 
famous  castles  and  vineyards.  Models  of  the  Rhine  steamboats  pass  up  and 
down  the  river.  A  reproduction  of  the  celebrated  monument  erected  in  com- 
memoration  of   the    Franco-German  War — Germania — is    also    shown. 

Several  thousand  feet  is  utilized  for  the  fish  exhibit  in  the  Fisheries  Building. 

The  women  of  Germany  entered  into  the  spirit  of  the  Exposition  with  a 
zeal  that  is  rare,  and  so  persistent  were  their  demands  for  space  that  it  was  a 
difficult  task  to  find  it  for  them.  The  empress  herself  and  nearly  all  of  the  femi- 
nine members  of  the  royal  family  prepared  articles  shown  here,  and  through- 
out the  length  and  breadth  of  the  united  kingdom  fair  fingers  industriously 
worked  on  patterns  rich  and  rare.  The  list  of  the  articles  is  long  and  includes 
pictures  in  oil,  water  and  silk;  all  branches  of  the  kindergarten,  from  the  very 
inception;  tapestries,  old  and  new;  its  watch  and  clock  works;  fabrics  of  all 
kinds  and  descriptions,  and  its  various  systems,  of.  dispensing  charity. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  123 

Germany  sent  some  of  her  very  richest  treasures  to  the  Art  Building. 
In  this  department  is  shown  progression  in  art  by  comparison  of  the  modern 
with  the  earliest  German  efforts. 

The  list  of  Germany's  exhibitors  contains  5,077  names.  Represented  in  it 
are  230  cities  and  towns  of  the  empire,  and  of  these  40  cities  send  more  than  ten 
exhibits  each.  Berlin  leads  with  283  exhibitors;  Munich  follows  with  187;  Leipsic 
with  149;  Frankfort,  55;  Hamburg,  57,  and  Chemnitz,  41. 

Emperor  William  showed  his  appreciation  of  the  Exposition,  and  especially 
his  respect  for  Director-General  Davis,  by  authorizing  Herr  Wermuth,  his  Im- 
perial Commissioner,  to  present  to  Col.  Davis  an  elegantly  bound  work  bearing  on 
the  discovery  of  America.  The  German  title  is  "Die  Entdeckung  Amerikas."  This 
work  was  issued  by  the  Geographical  Society  of  Berlin  in  commemoration  of  the 
400th  anniversary  of  the  discovery  of  America.  Toward  the  publication  of  the 
work  Emperor  William  himself  contributed  a  large  amount  of  money. 

GREAT    BRITAIN. 

Royal  Commission. — The  Council  of  the  Society  for  the  Encouragement  of  Arts,  Manu- 
factures and  Commerce. 

This  Society  (the  Council  of  which  has  been  appointed  by  Her  Majesty  a  Royal  Com- 
mission for  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition)  was  founded  in  1754,  and  incorporated  by  Royal 
Charter  in  1847,  for  "The  Encouragement  of  the  Arts,  Manufactures  and  Commerce  of  the 
country,  by  bestowing  rewards  for  such  productions,  inventions  or  improvements  as  tend  to  the 
employment  of  the  poor,  to  the  increase  of  trade,  and  to  the  riches  and  honor  of  the  kingdom; 
and  for  meritorious  works  in  the  various  departments  of  the  Fine  Arts;  for  Discoveries,  Inven- 
tions, and  Improvements  in  Agriculture,  Chemistry,  Mechanics,  Manufactures,  and  other  useful 
Arts;  for  the  application  of  such  natural  and  artificial  products,  whether  of  Home,  Colonial,  or 
Foreign  growth  and  manufacture,  as  may  appear  likely  to  afford  fresh  objects  of  industry,  and 
to  increase  the  trade  of  the  realm  by  extending  the  sphere  of  British  commerce;  and  generally  to 
assist  in  the  advancement,  development  and  practical  application  of  every  department  of 
science  in  connection  with  the  Arts,  Manufactures  and  Commerce  of  this  country."  The  history 
of  the  Society  has  been  intimately  associated  with  the  promotion  of  Fine  Art  and  Industrial 
Exhibitions.  The  first  Exhibition  of  the  works  of  native  artists  took  place  in  the  rooms  of  the 
Society  in  1760,  and  out  of  the  movement  which  originated  this  and  some  subsequent  exhibitions 
grew  the  Royal  Academy.  In  the  following  year,  1761,  the  machines  which  had  obtained 
Premiums  from  the  Society  were  exhibited  to  the  public,  and  this  exhibition  may  be  considered 
as  the  commencement  of  the  long  series  of  Industrial  Exhibitions. '  To  the  action  of  the  Society 
of  Arts  is  due  the  first  International  Exhibition,  that  of  1851,  which  was  successfully  carried 
through  under  the  patronage  of  H.  R.  H.,  the  late  Prince  Consort,  who  was  President  of  the 
Society.  The  Great  Exhibition  of  1862,  was  also  originated  by  the  Society.  The  first  Exhibition 
of  Photography,  out  of  which  the  Photographic  Society  has  grown,  took  place  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Society  of  Arts,  1852.  The  Society  has  also  forwarded  the  Cause  of  Education  by  a 
system  of  Examinations,  and  the  great  questions  of  Sanitation  and  Water  Supply  have  been  dis- 
cussed at  Congresses  convened  by  the  Society.

Great  Britain's  building,  which  is  officially  known  as  "  Victoria  House,'* 
(so  designated  by  special  permission  from  Her  Majesty,  Queen  Victoria) 
occupies  a  prominent  position  on  the  shore  of  the  lake,  near  the  pier.  It  is  gen- 
erally characteristic  of  the  best  type  of  English  half-timber  houses  of  the  six- 
teenth century.  The  upper  portion  is  of  half-timber  construction  in  natural  oak,, 
with  overhanging  and  projecting  gables  and  tiled  roof.  Terra-cotta  is  used  ex- 
tensively in  the  lower  story,  with  red  brick  facing  and  mullioned  windows,  so  as  to- 
be  seen  from  all  points;  each  facade  has  been  treated  architecturally.  The  plan 
forms  three  sides  of  a  quadrangle,  with  the  open  side  next  to  the  lake,  inclosed 
by  a  raised  terrace  with  balustrade.  The  center  on  the  front  or  inland  side  is 
recessed,  with  steps  leading  from  both  sides  up  the  covered  portico,  which  opens 
into  a  large  central  hall.  Off  from  one  side  of  the  hall  are  a  library  and  recep- 
tion-rooms, and  from  the  other  side  the  Secretary's  office  and  other  rooms 
required  for  the  work  of  the  commission.  On  the  first  floor  are  a  large  suite  of 
rooms  and  offices.  On  the  second  floor  are  rooms  for  the  meetings  of  juries,, 
receptions,  etc.,  for  its  own  use  and  that  of  Colonial  Commissions.  The  walls 
and  ceilings  of  the  principal  rooms  are  elaborately  panelled  after  the  fashion  of 
old  English  country  houses,  and  the  fittings  and  furnishings  were  specially 
designed  for  the  house. 

In  the  grand  hall  and  staircase  is  a  modeled  plaster  ceiling  copied  from  one 
in  Plas  Mawr,  Conway,  North  Wales,  built  about  1550,  and  generally  known  as 
"Queen  Elizabeth's  Place."  Another  plaster  model,  over  the  grand  staircase  and 
principal  landing,  is  taken  from  one  at  Haddon  Hall.  Enriched  plaster  work  is 
also  seen  in  the  paneling  and  chimney  pieces.  The  furniture  of  carved  oak  is 
in  the  Italian  style  of  the  renaissance.  A  cassone  is  reproduced  from  an  old 
Florentine  example  in  the  Royal  Palace  at  Naples  and  it  is  enriched  with  a. 
painted  frontal  panel  on  gilt  ground,  in  allegorical  portrayment  of  the  departure 
of  Columbus  from  Spain.  The  remainder  of  the  settees,  tables  and  chairs  are 
designed  on  similar  ancient  lines,  some  of  the  carvings  being  copied  from  ex- 
amples that  belonged  to  the  Medici  family,  now  in  the  Piti  Palace  at  Florence. 
In  the  reception  room  the  modeled  plaster  ceiling  is  reproduced  from  that  in 
the  banqueting  hall  at  Crewe  Hall,  the  seat  of  Lord  Krewe,  and  one  of  the  finest 
examples  of  Elizabethan  architecture  in  England.  The  library  is  entirely  of  oak. 
The  ribbed  ceiling  is  of  geometrical  form  and  the  bookcases  extend  from  floor 
to  ceiling.  The  dining-room  contains  a  modeled  plaster  ceiling  reproduced  from 
the  famous  one  in  Campden  House,  Kensington,  and  the  carved  oak  paneling 
and  furniture  illustrate  a  simpler  treatment  of  a  modern  dining-room  of  Eliza- 
bethan character.  The  embossed  leather  on  the  walls  was  first  executed  for  the 
new  ball  room  at  Sandringham  Hall  for  H.  R.  H.  the  Prince  of  Wales.  The 
floors  of  the  principal  rooms  are  laid  with  hand-made  real  Axminster  carpets. 
The  whole  house  is  tastefully  ornamented  with  dog  stoves  and  fireplace  fittings,. 
grates  and  over-mantels,  floor  mats,  etc.,  and  the  walls  are  handsomely  decorated 
with  banners.  In  the  vestibule  are  two  terra  cotta  panels,  "The  Prodigal  Son" 
and  "Pharaoh  at  the  Red  Sea,"  while  in  the  garden  and  grounds  are  a  handsome 
fountain  and  a  large  group  of  America  executed  in  terra-cotta. 

The  space  occupied  by  Great  Britain  and  the  Colonies  in  the  buildings  and 
grounds  amounts  to  more  than  500,000  square  feet,  of  which  about  three-fifths 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  125 

is  occupied  by  Great  Britain.  This  is  the  largest  area  ever  occupied  by  the 
British  Section  at  any  foreign  international  exhibition.  At  Vienna,  1874,  the 
space  occupied  was  169,827  square  feet;  at  Philadelphia,  1876,  194,381;  at  Paris, 
1878,  363,018;  at  Paris,  1889,  232,845. 

Allotments  have  been  made  in  the  following  buildings:  Agriculture,  Forestry, 
Live  Stock,  Fisheries,  Mines  and  Mining,  Machinery,  Transportation,  Manu- 
factures and  Liberal  Arts,  Electricity,  Fine  Arts,  and  Women's  Building. 

The  most  important  exhibits  are  in  the  Manufactures  Building.  The  space 
in  this  department  forms  one  of  the  blocks  in  the  center  of  the  building  at  the 
junction  of  the  main  avenues.  The  exhibits  made  by  the  Royal  Commission 
include  pottery,  porcelain,  glass,  art  furniture  and  decoration,  textiles,  etc.  In 
the  galleries  above  are  placed  the  educational  and  photographic  exhibits,  and 
the  loan  collections  from  the  government  departments,  school  board,  etc.  Many 
of  the  most  important  English  manufacturers  are  represented,  and  their  exhibits 
are  arranged  along  the  central  gangway  of  the  building.  Furniture,  by  some  of 
the  principal  makers,  is  also  shown  in  this  department.  In  the  division  of 
textiles,  the  contributions  of  the  Irish  linen  manufacturers  are  important.  A 
fine  show  of  jewelry,  and  of  goldsmiths'  and  silversmiths'  work,  including  a 
unique  collection  of  reproductions  of  old  Irish  gold  work,  is  placed  in  this  build- 
ing.     Chemical  products  form  a  large  and  important  class. 

In  the  Department  of  Electricity  the  British  exhibitions  are  not  very  numer- 
ous. The  display  includes  a  historical  collection  lent  from  the  British  Postofrice 
Telegraph  apparatus,  as  well  as  contributions  sent  in  by  commercial  firms.  The 
large  share  English  electricians  have  had  in  developing  electrical  science  and  its 
practical  applications  is  shown.  The  first  electrician  was  an  Englishman,  Gilbert. 
It  was  in  England  that  a  practical  telegraph  line  was  first  worked  out  by  Ronalds 
in  1816.  There  are  no  names  more  closely  associated  with  the  early  develop- 
ment of  the  science  of  electricity  than  those  of  Davy  and  Faraday.  The 
introduction  of  telegraphy  must  inseparably  be  connected  with  Cooke  and 
Wheatstone;  while  the  early  history  of  the  dynamo  would  be  incomplete  indeed 
without  reference  to  Wilde  and  Holmes.  In  England,  electricity  was  first  applied 
to  the  working  of  railways,  and  there  nearly  all  the  submarine  cables  of  the 
world  are  made. 

In  the  Department  of  Mines  and  Mining  a  typical  collection  of  economic 
British  minerals  has  been  made.  This  includes  interesting  series  of  specimens 
of  barytes  from  Bantry,  Ireland,  and  a  similar  series  from  County  Leitrim. 
Specimens  of  barytes  from  Snailbeach  mine,  Shropshire,  and  from  Mawsden 
mine,  Derbyshire.  Clay  used  for  the  manufacture  of  fine  white  earthenware, 
technically  known  as  "  Blue  Ball  Clay,"  is  shown,  and  it  is  interesting  historically 
to  note  that  this  clay  was  used  by  Joseph  Wedgewoodin  1791.  The  North  Devon 
Clay  Company,  of  Torrington,  Devon,  sends  a  series  of  specimens  of  clay,  and 
a  photograph  showing  the  open  workings.  The  clay  is  cut  by  one  man  in  a 
straight  line,  and  then  is  cut  across  by  a  second;  a  third  undercuts  with  an  adze, 
clearing  out  the  clay  in  8-inch  cubes.  Specimens  of  copper  pyrites,  iron  ore, 
red  hematite  ore,  lead  ore,  tin  ores,  witherite,  zinc-blende  and  calamine;  also 
collections  of  coals,  alum-stone  and  uranium  from  various  mines  in  the  United 
Kingdom  are  exhibited.  At  the  close  of  the  Exposition  the  entire  mineral  col- 
lection is  to  be  presented  to  some  American  museum,  yet  to  be  determined 
upon. 

A  collection  of  photographs,  illustrating  the  best  work  of  amateur  and  pro- 
fessional photographers  in  the  United  Kingdom,  has  been  arranged  by  the  Royal 
Commission  and  is  shown  in  the  Department  of  Liberal  Arts.  Here  is  found  a 
loan  collection  of  photographs,  to  which  contributions  were  made  by  most  of  the 
leading  British  photographers,  professional  and  amateur.  Engravings  and  fine 
art  publications  are  shown  by  some  of  the  principal  fine  art  publishers.  In  this 
department  may  be  seen  an  interesting  collection  of  newspapers,  educational 
appliances,  scientific  instruments,  etc.

126  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

An  important  part  of  the  British  section  is  found  in  the  Transportation 
Exhibits  Building.  The  London  and  North  Western  railway  show  an  engine  and 
carriages.  The  Great  Western  railway  exhibits  a  broad  gauge  engine.  The  Great 
Eastern,  Midland  and  Irish  railways  also  exhibit.  There  is  a  full  collection  of 
cycles  contributed  by  nearly  all  the  leading  makers.  A  very  large  collection  of 
ship  models  by  the  principal  ship  building  and  marine  engineering  firms,  as  well 
as  by  the  most  important  steamship  companies,  is  also  shown  in  this  department. 
In  this  building  are  also  some  interesting  loans;  a  model  of  the  Forth  Bridge,  a 
collection  of  pictures  of  carriages  by  the  Institute  of  Coach  Builders,  etc. 

The  British  machinery  exhibits,  while  not  very  large,  are  fine.  The  Gallo- 
ways of  Manchester  show  a  400  HP.  engine,  and  Willans  &  Robinson  a  350 
HP.  engine,  to  drive  the  machinery.  Perhaps  the  most  important  exhibit  in  this 
building  is  the  cotton  cleaning  machinery,  by  one  of  the  principal  makers.  There 
are  also  looms,  spinning  frames,  steam  hammers,  and  printing  machinery. 

The  Agricultural  section  includes  food.  Here  Great  Britain  is  well  repre- 
sented. In  spirituous  and  other  liquors  there  are  many  exhibitors.  Mr.  Burdett- 
Coutts,  M.  P.,  is  showing  a  fine  model  of  his  stud  farm. 

In  the  Department  of  Fine  Arts  devoted  to  the  British  section  are  a  num- 
ber of  handsome  and  valuable  paintings,  etc.,  loaned  from  their  collections  by 
Her  Majesty  the  Queen,  The  Prince  of  Wales,  The  Duke  of  Edinburgh,  The 
Duchess  of  Albany,  Earl  of  Aberdeen,  corporation  of  Birmingham,  General 
Beadle,  Archdeacon  Farrar,  Countess  Cairnes,  corporation  of  Brighton,  The  Earl 
•of  Eldoa,  Sir  Willifred  Lawson,  the  corporation  of  Oldham,  Lord  Monkswell, 
the  corporation  of  Leeds,  Sir  John  E.  Millais,  Sir  Sydney  WTaterlow  and  hun- 
dreds of  others. 

Early  in  the  work  of  arranging  for  the  Exposition  the  Royal  Commission 
appointed  a  committee  of  ladies,  of  which  H.  R.  H.  the  Princess  Christian  is 
president,  to  superintend  the  arrangements  for  the  British  section  of  women's 
work. 

This  committee  organized  a  series  of  sub-committees  to  deal  with  special 
branches  of  women's  work,  as  mentioned  below,  and  the  following  ladies  under- 
took to  supervise  their  several  departments: 

Education — Mrs.  Fawcett. 

Handicrafts — Lady  Roberts. 

Lace — Duchess  of  Abercorn. 

Literature — Mrs.  Gordon. 

Needlework — Lady  Henry  Grosvenor,  Lady  Amherst. 

Nursing — Mrs.  Bedford-Fenwick. 

Philanthropic  Work — Baroness  Burdett-Coutts. 

Portrait  Gallery,  Music  and  Vestibule — Mrs.  Roberts-Austen. 

Ireland — Countess  of  Aberdeen. 

Scotland — Countess  of  Aberdeen. 

Wales — Lady  Aberdare. 

A  very  fine  collection,  representing  the  most  important  branches  of  women's 
work  in  the  United  Kingdom,  has  been  sent  by  the  Ladies'  committee.  A 
number  of  excellent  and  comprehensive  papers  on  questions  of  special  interest 
to  women  have  been  promised  for  reading  and  discussion  at  the  Congress  to  be 
held  during  the  Exposition. 

Among  the  Colonies,  Canada  is  the  largest  exhibitor,  as  might  naturally  be 
expected.  She  is  showing  largely  in  the  Agricultural  and  Mining  Buildings,  as 
well  as  in  the  Manufactures.  The  Canadian  Commission  put  up  a  special  build- 
ing in  the  grounds  for  their  orifices.  New  South  Wales  is  the  next  largest.  Her 
principal  exhibits  are  minerals,  wool  and  timber.  The  Cape  makes  a  good 
exhibit,  notably  diamonds.  Ceylon  has  a  pavilion  and  a  creditable  exhibit  in 
several  of  the  departments. 

The  Indian  Government  at  first  refused  to  take  an  active  interest  in  the 
exhibition,  but  eventually  gave  a  sum  of  40,000  rupees  to  the  Tea  Planters'  Asso-

ciation  to  promote  an  exhibit  of  Indian  tea,  and  also  made  a  small  grant  to 
Indian  art  dealers  of  Delhi,  to  assist  in  making  an  exhibition  of  Indian 
art  ware.     Several  firms  exhibit  Indian  art  productions. 

In  a  general  way  all  the  arrangements  of  Great  Britain  were  well  advanced 
before  the  opening,  and  much  credit  is  due  to  Sir  Henry  Trueman  Wood,  the 
secretary,  and  to  Mr.  Lloyd,  his  assistant,  for  the  splendid  ability  shown  in  hand- 
ling all  important  matters  that  have  come  before  them. 

Visitors  from  England  and  Canada  have  the  opportunity  of  enjoying  the 
comforts  and  privileges  of  a  first-class  club  during  their  stay  in  Chicago. 
The  British  and  Canadian  Exchange  Club  has  been  incorporated  and  has  com- 
modious rooms  on  the  second  floor  of  the  Auditorium.  It  is  an  Anglo-American 
club,  a  limited  number  of  Americans  being  admitted  to  membership.  The  club's 
quarters  in  the  Auditorium  include  gentlemen's  reading,  writing,  reception  and 
smoking  rooms;  ladies'  drawing,  reception  and  toilet  rooms;  postoffice  and  infor- 
mation bureaus,  offices,  etc.  The  reading  room  is  well  stocked  with  American,  Eng- 
lish and  Canadian  publications,  and  excellent  facilities  are  afforded  for  social 
intercourse,  reception  and  dispatch  of  mail,  cashing  of  drafts,  providing  hotel 
and  other  accommodations,  selection  of  routes  of  travel,  and  in  short,  nearly 
everything  foreign  visitors  may  desire.  The  club  was  opened  March  I,  and 
will  be  maintained  until  the  end  of  the  year. 

GREECE. 
Mr.  Charles  L.  Hutchinson,    President  Royal    Commission;    Mr.  D.  Jannopoulo,  Royal 
Commissioner. 

The  exhibit  made  by  Greece  consists  largely  of  wines,  liquors,  figs  and  raisins. 
There  are  twenty-five  contributions  of  the  first,  twenty  of  liquors  and  a  dozen 
-firms  showing  dried  fruits.  Greece  has  taken  an  unusual  interest  in  the  Colum- 
bian Exposition,  and  a  large  number  of  people  from  Athens  and  the  leading 
cities  will  visit  America  this  summer. 

GUATEMALA. 
Manuel  Lemas,  President  of  the  Commission;    Dr.  Gustavo  E.  Guzman,  Vice-President; 
Ignacio  Solis,  Secretary;  Leon  Rosenthal,  Treasurer;  Sefior  Don  Geo.  C.  Monzon,  Attache. 

The  Guatemala  Building  is  square,  with  hi  feet  at  each  side,  and  occupies  a 
total  area  of  12,500  feet.  The  architecture  is  original,  but  in  no  way  classical. 
It  is  kept  in  Spanish  style  and  corresponds  well  with  the  country  it  represents. 
The  height  of  the  first  floor  is  24  feet.  In  the  center  of  the  building  a  large 
court  is  arranged,  33x33  feet,  with  a  gallery  built  upon  colonnades  of  two  floors. 
This  court  resembles  the  old  patios  in  a  Spanish  house,  and  gives  freshness  and 
ventilation  in  the  entire  structure.  In  the  center  of  the  court  there  is  a  fountain 
from  which  the  water  plays  as  from  a  big  rock.  On  each  of  the  four  corners  of 
the  building  there  is  a  tower  23x23  feet,  surmounted  by  a  beautifully  decorated 
dome.  The  entire  height  of  each  tower  is  65  feet.  In  two  of  the  towers  there 
are  two  large  staircases,  giving  access  to  the  gallery  above,  which  extends  as  a 
terrace  around  the  entire  building.  The  construction  is  in  wood,  iron  and  staff, 
and  the  ornaments  represent  fruits  and  flowers,  all  in  an  original  and  light  char- 
acter. There  are  four  large  rooms  on  the  first  floor,  and  on  the  second  floor  a 
large  reception  room,  with  two  offices  and  toilet  rooms.  All  the  exhibits  from 
Guatemala  will  be  found  in  this  building,  the  most  interesting  of  which  is  coffee, 
and  how  it  is  cultivated  and  marketed. 

At  a  distance  of  about  thirty-five  feet  from  the  main  building  is  a  rustic  hut, 
70x25  feet,  and  at  the  end  of  the  same  is  a  small  kiosk,  adapted  for  testing  the  coffee. 
The  entire  space  around  the  building  is  converted  into  a  large  garden  represent- 
ing a  coffee  plantation,  banana  trees  and  other  plants.  Indian  tents  are  placed 
in  a  corner  of  the  grounds,  and  a  landing  place  has  been  constructed  opposite 
the  principal  entrance  on  the  lagoon.     The  building  cost  $40,oog. 

HAYTI.

Alfred  Harrisse,  Secretary;  Mr.  Gustave  Stromberg,  Attache. 


128  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

The  Hayti  Building  lies  to  the  southwest  of  the  German  Building  and  ad- 
joining that  of  New  South  Wales.  It  is  in  the  Greco-Colonial  style,  surmounted 
by  a  gilded  dome,  which  is  copied  after  the  State  capitol  of  Massachusetts.  The 
structure  has  a  frontage  of  126  feet,  including  piazzas  12  feet  wide  which  sur- 
round three  sides  of  the  building.  In  the  center  of  the  facade  is  the  coat-of- 
arms  of  the  Republic  of  Hayti  in  a  medallion  surrounded  by  a  scroll  bearing  the 
following  inscription:  " Republique  Haitienne •"  and  the  dates  1492  (the  discovery),. 
1804  (date  of  Haytian  national  independence)  and  1893  (tne  present  anniver- 
sary). On  entering  the  building  one  comes  into  an  exhibition  hall  50x50  feet, 
in  the  center  of  which  are  eight  Doric  fluted  columns  supporting  the  dome.  The 
decorations  consist  principally  of  red  and  blue  bunting,  the  national  colors,  with 
flags  and  escutcheons.  The  exhibits  in  the  pavilion  consist  principally  of  agri- 
cultural and  forestry  products,  with  some  specimens  of  native  industry  in  a 
general  way.  There  is  also  displayed  some  pre-Columbian  relics  and  the 
authentic  anchor  of  the  caravel  Santa  Maria,  the  mate  to  which  was  loaned  by 
the  Haytians  to  the  Columbus  collection  in  the  Convent  of  La  Rabida.  The 
sword  of  Toussaint  L'Ouverture  is  also  shown  among  other  relics  of  the  struggle 
for  independence.  Opening  from  the  main  hall  through  a  ten-foot  archway  is 
another  exposition  hall,  at  the  rear  of  which  Haytian  coffee,  prepared  by  native 
hands,  is  served.  The  entire  left  wing  is  given  up  for  reception  rooms  and 
executive  offices. 

HONDURAS. 
Messrs.  Good  &  Fellows,  835  Rookery  Building,  Chicago,  Representatives. 

Honduras  makes  a  collective  exhibit  in  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  and 
shows  specimens  of  cigars,  tobacco  and  sarsaparilla. 

Very  interesting  Kopan  relics  of  Honduras  are  exhibited  in  the  Anthropo- 
logical Building. 

INDIA. 

Richard  Blechynden,  Royal  Commissioner. 

The  East  India  Pavilion  is  a  rectangular  building  of  staff,  80x60  feet.  It  is= 
entered  through  a  lofty  gateway  surmounted  by  four  minarets,  and  is  profusely 
ornamented  in  an  elaborate  arabesque  design.  The  gateway,  as  is  customary  in 
structures  of  this  style,  forms  the  principal  architectural  feature  of  the  building 
and  it  is  here  that  the  ornamentation  is  most  fully  carried  out,  and  is  reinforced, 
by  paintings  in  vivid  oriental  colors  in  strict  keeping  with  the  design  followed, 
the  whole  having  a  rich  and  harmonious  effect.  On  either  side  of  the  entrance 
are  arcades  lavishly  decorated  with  relief  work,  bracelet  and  ornamentation. 
The  minarets  surmounting  the  gateway  are  repeated  at  the  corners  of  the  build- 
ing, and  spring  from  a  parapet,  the  panels  of  which  are  covered  with  designs. 
Below  the  parapet  and  running  round  the  building  are  sloping  eaves,  a  very 
characteristic  feature  of  the  style  followed.  Internally  the  pavilion  consists  of  a 
large  hall,  lighted  from  above,  and  with  a  broad  gallery  running  round  it  on  three 
sides  to  which  access  is  given  by  the  staircases.  The  building  is  erected  by  the 
Indian  Tea  Association  of  Calcutta,  at  a  cost  of  $15,000,  to  contain  exhibits  of 
tea  grown  in  different  provinces  of  India.  Here  tea  of  every  kind  is  displayed 
and  is  distributed  in  the  cup.  It  is  served  by  Indian  waiters  in  Indian  costumes. 
An  original  collection  of  photographs  especially  made  for  the  purpose,  is  ex- 
hibited, showing  the  manufacture  of  tea  in  various  stages.  The  tea  industry  is 
one  of  the  most  important  in  India,  giving  employment  to  thousands  of  people. 
Some  of  the  wildest  tracts  of  the  country  have  been  reclaimed  from  a  state  of 
virgin  forest  and  converted  into  thriving  gardens  by  the  energy  and  capital  of 
tea  planters,  and  within  the  last  thirty  years  the  production  of  tea  in  India  has 
arisen  to  one  hundred  million  pounds  in  weight.  Exhibitors  from  Delhi,  Bombay, 
Calcutta  and  Sinila,  show  many  art-manufactures  of  India  and  Burmah,  as  well 
as  those  of  the  governments  of  their  highnesses,  the  Hizam  of  Hyderabad,  and 
the  Maharajas  of  Mysore,  Patiala  and  Jodhpore.     The  exhibits  consist  of  silver-

hibit never  previously  shown  on  so  large  a  scale  and  representing  "India  in  a 
nut  shell."  The  models  are  all  art-sculptures  and  represent  buildings  from 
almost  all  parts  of  the  Empire,  as  well  as  many  ancient  monuments,  street, 
bazaar  and  house  scenes,  durbars,  burial  processions  and  grounds,  temples, 
wedding  and  betrothal  ceremonies,  religious  worship  and  customs,  satti  (a  wife- 
sacrificing  her  life  on  the  funeral  pile  of  her  deceased  husband,  a  practice  now 
extinct);  indigo  and  shellac  factories;  agricultural  models,  (illustrating  the  pro- 
cess of  plowing,  sowing,  mowing,  threshing,  etc.);  bazaars,  vendors  of  com- 
modities, and  fruit  and  vegetable  stalls.  There  are  also  models  of  artisans  with  their 
tools  and  appliances;  of  the  means  of  transport  by  land,  river  and  sea;  and  of  the 
different  tribes  and  castes  of  India.  This  class  of  exhibits  is  composed  of  several 
thousands  of  most  artistic  figures  dressed  in  the  costumes  worn  by  the  people. 
Then  come  shoes,  as  worn  by  the  natives  of  the  country;  hand  painted  wrood

There  is  an  inquiry  office  in  the  building  and  information  is  given  regarding  the 
manufacturers,  imports  of  agricultural,  raw  and  economical  products,  and  the 
commerce  of  the  Empire.  The  India  Building  is  unlike  any  surrounding  its 
location,  which  is  close  to  the  buildings  of  Sweden,  New  South  Wales  and  Hayti. 
Every  feature  of  its  construction  is  Oriental  and  it  is  one  of  the  most  quaint  and 
artistic  on  the  grounds.

Italy  occupies  in  all  the  departments  to  which  she  contributes  about  70,000 
square  feet.  The  entire  number  of  Italian  exhibitors  exceeds  11,500,  of  whom 
665  make  exhibits  in  the  departments  of  Manufactures  and  Agriculture.  The 
exhibits  sent  here  by  Italy  and  exhibited  in  the  Manufactures  section,  are  very 
largely  works  of  industrial  art,  such  as  bronzes,  marble  for  construction  and  dec- 
orative purposes,  tapestries,  embroideries,  silken  fabrics,  Venetian  glass,  Vene- 
tian laces,  cabinet-ware,  inlaid  woodwork,  mosaics,  jewelry,  intaglio  works, 
coral,  etc.;  specialties  in  manufactured  delicacies  for  the  table,  such  as  sar- 
dines, spiced  tongues  and  fish,  and  dainties  of  a  like  character.  Italy  occupies  a 
court  in  the  Manufactures  Building  to  the  south,  and  another  on  the  balcony  to 
the  west. 

In  the  Liberal  Arts  department  are  educational  and  musical  exhibits  of 
various  kinds. 

Specimens  of  nearly  every  article  the  fertile  soil  of  Italy  produces  are  shown 
in  the  Department  of  Agriculture. 

In  the  Department  of  Horticulture  the  well  known  wines  of  Italy  are  shown, 
including  all  the  brands  of  clarets — Barbera,  Barolo,  Nebiolo,  Grignolino — from 
north  of  Italy;  the  fine  champagne  types  from  Asti  and  Treviso;  the  various 
Chianti's  types  from  Eascary;  the  Cesanese,  Abatics,  Marino  and  Genzans  from 
the  Roman  Campagna;  the  strong  wines  from  Basilicata;  the  celebrated  wines 
of  the  Vesuvius  territory;  Lachryma  Christs,  Falerna,  and  other  sparkling  quali- 
ties; the  white  and  red  wines  of  Capri;  the  selection  of  Sicilian  wines,  including  the 
nectars  of  Syracuse  and  the  legendary  Marsala;  beside  oils  and  preserved  fruits, 
oranges,  lemons,  olives,  dates,  etc. 

In  the  Department  of  Mines  and  Mining  are  shown  specimens  of  iron,  cop- 
per, sulphur  and  lead  from  Sicily,  Sardinia  and  Elba;  every  quality  and  descrip- 
tion of  marble  from  the  quarries  of  Serravezza,  Carrara  and  Castellino,  also 
alabasters  and  stones  from  the  Alps,  the  Apenninco  and  the  Adriatic  section. 

In  the  Fine  Arts  department  the  display  of  Italy  is  made  in  the  five  center 
rooms  of  the  west  pavilion,  in  the  west  court,  and  in  the  balcony  alcoves  of  the 
north  court  of  the  Art  Palace.  Though  ancient  in  design  and  mostly  a  repre- 
sentation of  the  grand  days  of  Italian  supremacy  in  art,  the  commissioners  ex- 
pect to  interest  visitors  in  a  special  type  of  exhibits  which  no  other  country 
in  the  world  can  produce.  Rome  in  all  the  magnificence  of  its  early  days  is  illus- 
trated and  the  many  historical  treasures  of  the  Vatican  cannot  fail  to  elicit 
admiration  and  furnish  food  for  reflection.  Italian  artists  who  are  exhibiting 
number  two  hundred.  The  number  of  the  works  reach  one  thousand.  They 
consist  of  oil  paintings,  water  colors,  statuary  and  bronzes.  Angelo  del  Nero, 
the  Royal  Commissioner  of  Fine  Arts,  was  the  pioneer  in  Italy  of  the  World's 
Columbian  Exposition.  Since  November,  1889,  °f  his  own  individual  effort,  he 
promoted,  among  his  fellow-citizens  and  through  the  press,  Italy's  participation 
in  the  Exposition,  traveling  during  the  year  1890  from  one  end  of  his  country  to 
the  other,  agitating  the  question.  In  1891  he  came  to  America,  residing  for  the 
most  part  in  Chicago  in  order  to  become  familiar  with  and  to  study  the  magni- 
tude and  the  benefits  to  be  derived  from  the  great  enterprise.  Appreciating  his 
effective  labors  and  his  earnest  interest  so  zealously  manifested,  the  Exposition 
authorities  sent  him  to  his  own  country  as  the  special  commissioner  for  the  De- 
partment of  Fine  Arts,  where  his  indefatigable  work  of  promotion  led  the  Italian 
government  to  officially  recognize  the  art  committees  which  had  been  previously 
formed  through  his  personal  efforts  and  to  make  an  appropriation  for  the  free 
transportation  of  the  Italian  exhibits.  His  enterprise,  zeal  and  enthusiasm  have 
also  largely  benefited  the  interests  of  the  Bureau  of  Music,  of  the  Latin-Ameri- 
can bureau,  of  the  woman's  department  and  those  of    Publicity   and  Promotion. 

During   the    period    of   the    Exposition   each    commissioner   has  his  office

in  his  own  department.  Signor  del  Nero,  Commissioner  of  Fine  Arts,  has 
his  office  within  the  main  south  entrance  to  the  west  pavilion  of  the  Art  Palace, 
near  57th  street  station;  Chevalier  T.  Silombra,  Commissioner  of  Agriculture; 
on  the  west  balcony  of  the  Horticultural  Building.  Signor  V.  Zeggis,  the  Royal 
Commissioner,  occupies  an  office  on  the  northwest  balcony  in  the  Liberal 
Arts  section,  and  Chev.  Dr.  Candiani,  the  Royal  Commissioner  for  Industry,  has 
an  Office  in  the  Italian  court  in  the  Manufactures  Building. 

Countess  de  Brazzi,  President  of  the  Woman's  Commission  to  Italy,  and  Mrs. 
Leopold  Mariotti,  Secretary,  are  carrying  out  the  design  of  the  Queen  for  the  dis- 
play of  royal  laces.  These  laces,  which  belong  to  the  House  of  Savoy,  have 
never  before  been  out  of  Italy,  and  Mme.  Mariotti  has  signed  a  contract  in  which 
it  is  stipulated  that  she  alone  will  have  the  care  of  them.  This  exhibit  was 
shipped  in  charge  of  twelve  sailors  of  the  royal  marine  or  navy,  one  of  whom 
remains  on  guard  day  and  night.  The  Italian  pavilion  is  located  in  the  south 
section  of  the  Woman's  Building,  between  the  Japanese  and  French  pavilions. 
At  the  rear  of  the  booth  is  an  arch  over  which  is  spread  drapery  of  green  silk. 
This  is  covered  with  the  laces  to  represent  a  lace  Niagara.  Leading  up  to  the 
arch  are  a  number  of  steps  upholstered  in  red,  like  the  throne-room  in  the  Quir- 
inal.  The  design  of  the  room  is  of  the  fifteenth  century  period.  The  furniture 
was  carved  in  Venice.  Two  sentinal  figures  of  the  same  period  present  arms 
toward  the  lace  just  inside  the  wrought-iron  gate  which  closes  the  entrance  to 
the  portal.  The  gate,  which  was  made  in  Venice,  is  so  finely  wrought  as  repre- 
sent a  piece  of  delicately  woven  black  lace.  On  the  interior  of  the  court  is  the 
image  of  a  woman  making  lace,  every  part  of  which  was  carved  by  women.  She 
is  clothed  in  linen  which  was  planted,  spun  and  woven  by  women. 

JAPAN. 
H.  E.  Gozo  Tateno,  Vice-President  of  Commission;  Honorable  S.  Tegima,  Imperial  Com-

The  Japanese  Building  on  the  wooded  island  is  modeled  after  the  main 
plan  of  the  Hoodo  (Phoenix  Temple),  hence  called  Hooden,  and  consists  of 
three  separate  buildings  connected  by  wide  corridors.  They  represent  respect- 
ively the  styles  of  three  different  epochs  of  Japanese  history,  but  are  unified  by 
the  general  architectural  design.  The  south  wing  is  in  the  style  of  the  Ashikaga 
period  of  about  four  hundred  years  ago.  The  north  wing  is  in  the  style  of  the 
most  prosperous  time  of  the  Fujiwara  period  of  about  eight  hundred  and  fifty 
years  ago.  The  main  hall  represents  the  style  of  the  Tokugawa  period  of  about 
one  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago.  These  buildings  follow  the  general  ground 
plan  of  the  original  Hoodo,  which  is  one  of  the  famous  historic  temples  built 
eight  hundred  and  forty-two  years  ago,  and  is  still  existing  at  Uji,  the  dis- 
trict noted  for  tea  plantations,  near  Kyoto.  These  buildings  are  of  unpainted 
wood,  and  the  principle  of  Japanese  construction  and  proportion  is  wholly 
adopted.  The  roofs  of  the  same  are  covered  with  sheet  copper  according  to  the 
Japanese  method,  The  floors,  excepting  that  of  the  north  wing,  are  furnished 
with  thick  mats,  while  the  latter  is  covered  with  boards.  The  ceilings  of  the 
main  hall,  except  two  side  rooms,  are  divided  into  small  square  panels  of 
lacquered  boards,  and  each  of  these  is  painted  to  correspond  with  the  adjoining 
parts,  while  those  of  the  two  rooms  are  elaborately  painted  with  figures  of  the 
Phoenix  in  gold  and  other  colors.  The  wall  space  and  surface  of  the  sliding 
doors  in  every  room  are  decorated  with  paintings  of  the  same  subject,  the 
Phoenix,  to  suit  each  room.  The  work  of  interior  decoration  was  undertaken  by 
the  Tokyo  Art  Academy,  and  the  furniture  and  art  works  in  the  exhibition  are 
selected  by  the  Imperial  Museum.  All  represent  the  three  epochs  to  which  they 
belong.     The   principal  design  of  the  building  was  made   by  Masamichi  Kuru,

the  government  architect  of  Japan,  and  the  builders  are  Okura  &  Co.,  who 
have  sent  a  number  of  their  workmen  to  Chicago.  Japan's  exhibit  in  the  Woman's 
Building,  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  of  the  Exposition.  A  space  of  800 
square  feet  at  the  left  side  of  the  entrance  at  the  northern  part  of  the  building 
is  occupied  by  an  exhibition  of  Japanese  women's  work,  including  pictures  (pure 
Japanese  style),  oil  paintings,  carvings,  cocoons,  raw  silk,  fabrics,  embroideries,

In  general  Japan  makes  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  creditable  displays 
of  all  foreign  countries.  There  are  many  reasons  why  one  of  the  oldest  of 
nations  should  be  congenial  with  one  of  the  youngest.     There  is  no  doubt  that  a 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  133 

part  of  the  original  civilization  of  this  continent  was  due  to  adventurous  tribes 
akin  to  the  Japanese,  and  the  monumental  architecture  of  Mexico  as  well  as  rea- 
sonably credible  historical  records  almost  demonstrate  that  an  early  bond  existed 
in  arts,  religions  and  traditions  among  the  native  American  races  and  the  people 
from  the  Pacific.  The  Japanese  are  realizing  keenly  the  importance  of  assimi- 
lating modern  ideas  and  of  accepting  western  customs.  They  are  gentle,  modest, 
studious.  The  beauty  of  their  country  pervades  their  nature,  and  they  are  intu- 
itively decorative.  There  are  in  all  about  300  Japanese  exhibitors,  a  large  repre- 
sentation considering  the  limited  scope  of  industries  in  their  country  and  the 
expense  attaching  to  their  transportation  of  materials  and  men.  They  are  fast 
overtaking  other  foreign  merchants  in  certain  lines  of  natural  products  as  well  as 
of  manufactured  ones.  They  present  seventy-two  exhibits  of  rice  alone  and  four- 
teen of  vermicelli  and  macaroni.  There  are  two  hundred  and  fifteen  exhibitors 
of  tea  and  tobacco.  Silk  from  the  cocoon,  carried  through  all  processes  up  to 
the  soft  draperies,  is  an  attractive  feature  to  visitors  from  all  countries.  In  seri- 
culture— the  raising  of  silkworms — they  are  probably  unrivaled.  Judgment  varies 
among  Western  critics  concerning  the  intrinsic  worth  of  their  fine  arts,  especially 
the  pictorial.  But  there  is  no  division  about  the  sincerity  and  ardor  of  their 
addiction  to  beautiful  forms  nor  of  the  universality  of  the  decorative  idea  through- 
out their  industries.  Their  own  carpenters,  painters  and  decorators  did  all  the 
w7ork  in  preparing  their  portion  of  the  exhibits,  They  have  grown  quite  accus- 
tomed to  our  ways,  and  do  not  surrender  their  methods  in  favor  of  ours  unless 
the  superiority  of  the  new  over  the  old  is  apparent.  Their  artisans  are  among 
the  most  diligent,  painstaking  and  prompt  in  the  Park,  Their  catalogue  was  the 
first  presented  to  the  catalogue  compilers.  It  was  mechanically  faultless,  and 
written  in  good  English.  The  installation  of  their  exhibits  has  proceeded  wTith 
smooth  and  judicious  direction,  so  that  it  lacks  nothing  in  completeness.  Their 
officials  are  suave,  patient  and  efficient.

banana  meal,  oils,  pimento,  pickles,  native  woods,  india  rubber,  seeds,  etc.,  are 
shown  from  the  Island  of  Jamaica  in  the  Department  of  Agriculture. 

There  are  three  groups  in  the  Department  of  Mines  and  Mining  embracing 
clays,  pottery  sand,  salt,  ochre  and  copper. 

In  the  Department  of  Manufactures  exhibits  are  made  of  drugs  and  pharma- 
ceutical preparations,  extracts,  dentrifices,  essential  oils,  fancy  work,  pottery, 
mats  and  baskets,  hats,  fibre  work,  leather,  etc. 

The  history  and  laws  of  Jamaica,  vital  statistic?,  photographic  views,  law 
books  and  maps  are  shown  in  the  Department  of  Liberal  Arts. 

JOHORE. 
Dato  Sri  Amar  d'Raja,  C.  M.  G.,  Secretary  to  H.  H.  the  Sultan,  Commissioner;  Mr.  H.  \V. 
Lake,  Deputy  Commissioner 

Owing  to  local  troubles  of  a  warlike  character  Honduras  relinquished  the 
space  taken  at  the  Exposition,  and  the  commissioners  from  Jahore  at  once  took 
it.  This  occurred  only  a  few  days  before  the  opening,  but  despite  the  short  time 
in  which  to  make  ready  its  exhibit,  Jahore  makes  an  attractive  display. 

A  collective  exhibit  is  made  in  the  Agricultural  Building,  besides  an  outside 
space.  It  consists,  of  krisses  and  seirongs,  agricultural  implements,  weights, 
measures  and  coins,  native  wroods,  hides  and  skins,  stuffed  birds,  and  the  Indian 
bungalo,  which  is  a  conspicuous  feature.  The  tea  culture  of  Johore  is  exempli- 
fied in  a  fine  exhibit  of  teas  shown  in  the  Department  of  Agriculture.

LIBERIA.

C.  Brockmeyer,  Secretary. 

Liberia  makes  an  unclassified  collective  exhibit,  installed  in  the  Agricultural 
Building.  Here,  from  the  various  tribes,  are  shown  specimens  of  iron,  fishing 
contrivances,  canoes,  charms,  quaint  musical  instruments,  ivory,  idols,  books  of 
the  Koran,  jewelry,  skins  of  native  animals,  oils,  seeds,  cane  sugar  and  syrups, 
pepper,  medicinal  plants,  nuts,  native  dyes,  coins,  minerals,  dirks  and  knives, 
spears,  bows  and  arrows,  rice  and  coffee,  palm  oil,  palm  kernels,  arrowroot,  cam- 
wood, hardwoods,  ivories  and  various  articles  showing  the  manners,  customs  and 
habits  of  the  natives.  The  principal  article  is  the  Liberian  coffee,  which  is  a 
peculiar  species,  and  has  received  the  name  of  coffee  Liberiansis  by  coffee 
experts.  A  peculiarly  interesting  exhibit,  unique  because  of  its  rarity  is  a  finely 
mounted  specimen  of  a  "hippopottamus  Liberiansis."  This  animal  was  sup- 
posed to  have  long  since  passed  out  of  the  animal  world.  There  are  but  two 
other  specimens,  one  in  London  and  one  in  Paris.  This  specimen  was  prepared 
by  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  in  Philadelphia,  and  will  be  returned  to 
that  institution  after  the  Exposition.  Liberia  is  the  only  civilized  Christian 
negro  state  in  Africa,  and  is  exerting  a  wide  influence  in  the  enlightenment  of 
those  parts  of  the  continent  with  which  it  comes  in  contact.  The  country  is 
after  the  model  of  the  United  States  Government.  The  means  of  communica- 
tion between  Liberia  and  America  are  poor,  which  is  much  to  be  regretted,  because 
the  people  use  the  same  language  and  have  the  same  manners  and  customs  as 
the  Americans  and  present  a  field  for  the  further  development  of  American 
commerce.  It  is  nearer  to  the  United  States  than  is  Europe  and  still  all  the 
trade  of  Liberia  is  done  with  Europe.  English  and  German  steamers  constantly 
visit  the  west  coast  of  Africa.

In  the  Department  of  Mines  and  Mining  Mexico  has  made  an  exhibit  which 
will  astonish  the  world  with  the  extent  and  wealthof  the  mining  in  that  country. 
It  consists  of  gold,  silver,  and  copper  ores,  and  in  the  consignment  received  and 
installed  in  the  Mines  Building  there  were  300  cases,  and  they  averaged  over 
1,000  pounds  each.  Mexico  also  makes  very  creditable  displays  in  nearly  all  the 
other  departmental  buildings.  In  the  Department  of  Agriculture  the  raw  pro- 
ducts of  the  country,  principally  coffee  and  sugar,  are  shown.  In  the  Depart- 
ment of  Transportation  Exhibits  a  fine  display  is  made  by  the  Mexican  Central 
Railroad.  Ore  crushing  and  sugar  machinery  are  shown  in  Machinery  Hall.  In 
the  Department  of  Manufactures  and  Liberal  Arts  Mexico  has  5,443  square  feet, 
and  the  various  manufacturing  industries  of  the  republic,  and  the  educational  and 
internal  affairs  of  the  government  are  there  exhibited.

The  exhibit  in  the  Agricultural  department  consists  of  sweet  chocolate, 
cocoa,  Dutch  cake,  arack,  rum,  gin,  cordials,  liquors,  indigo  and  kapok. 

The  exhibit  in  the  Horticultural  department  is  entirely  outside  of  the  build- 
ing and  on  the  Wooded  Island.  It  consists  of  a  beautiful  collection  of  roses, 
Darwin  tulips,  bulbs,  climbing  plants,  trees  and  shrubs. 

In  the  Fisheries  department  is  exhibited  an  artistic  herring  boat,  in  full  sail- 
ing order  as  seen  on  the  ocean,  at  one-seventh  of  its  original  size. 

In  the  Transportation  Exhibits  department  is  exhibited  a  collection  sent  by 
the  Royal  Institute  of  Engineers  of  Holland,  showing  the  different  waterways  and 
public  works  of  that  country;  there  are  also  model  Dutch  sailing  vessels  on

palm  sugar,  tea,  coffee,  cocoa,  pepper,  cloves,  cinnamon  and  other  spices,  tobacco, 
indigo,  kapok  and  tin. 

The  Royal  Commission  has  its  office  in  the  Netherlands  exhibit  of  the  Man- 
ufactures Building. 

NEW   SOUTH   WALES. 

Honorable  Dr.  Arthur  Renwick,  M.  L.  C,  Executive  Commissioner;  Mr.  Herbert  J.  Ren- 
wick,  B.  A.,  Private  Secretary;  Mr.  Robert  Hudson,  J.  P.,  General  Superintendent;  Mr.  Thomas 
Pugh,  Assistant  General  Superintendent;  Mr.  Alexander  Bruce,  J.  P.,  Superintendent  (Stock); 
Mr.  Joseph  E.  Carne,  F.  G.  S.,  Superintendent  (Mines);  Mr.  W.  Fitzwilliam  Terry,  Superin- 
tendent (Liberal  Arts);  Mr.  Joseph  F.  McGuinness,  Assistant  Private  Secretary;  Mr.  James 
Martin,  M.  P.,  Member  of  the  Commission;  Mr.  C.  C.  Skarratt,  Member  of  the  Commission;  Dr. 
Carl  F.  Fischer,  Member  of  the  Commission. 

The  New  South  Wales  Building  is  classical  in  design  and  ornamentation.  It 
covers  an  area  of  4,320  square  feet,  being  60x60  feet  in  exterior  dimensions,  with 
a  portico  12  feet  wide  extending  across  the  front.  There  is  a  flight  of  three  steps 
leading  to  this  portico  and  extending  across  the  front  and  ends  of  the  same.  The 
roof  of  this  portico  is  supported  by  six  Doric  columns,  two  feet  and  six  inches  in 
diameter,  and  twenty  feet  high,  with  a  cornice,  frieze  and  balustrade  extending 
round  the  entire  building.  At  each  of  the  corners  is  a  large  Doric  pilaster  cor- 
responding to  the  columns  of  the  portico.  The  entrance  is  in  the  center  of  the 
portico  front.  All  openings  have  molded  architraves  and  cornices,  and  each 
window  has  a  pair  of  molded  modillions  under  it.     The  exterior  of  the  building 


136  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 


is  staff.  The  central  portion  is  occupied  by  a  haU  thirty  feet  in  width,  and  ex- 
tending the  entire  depth  of  the  building.  In  the  center  is  a  polygonal  dome 
thirty  feet  in  diameter,  the  top  being  forty  feet  from  the  floor.  This  dome  adds 
to  the  effect,  light  and  ventilation  of  the  whole,  and  is  covered  on  the  interior 
with  ornamental  staff.  Arranged  on  three  sides  of  the  main  hall  are  the  various 
offices  of  the  legation,  eight  in  number.    There  is  a  large  toilet  room  in  the  rear. 

New  South  Wales  makes  a  strong  showing  in  nearly  all  the  exhibit  sections, 
principally  in  the  departments  of  Mines  and  Minjng  and  Liberal  Arts.  In  the 
latter  department  the  space  occupied  is  in  the  west  gallery  of  Manufactures 
Building.  It  is  divided  into  five  courts,  and  over  the  entrance  is  the  Australian 
coat-of-arms  made  in  a  realistic  way.  The  supports  of  the  coat-of-arms  are  a 
kangaroo  and  an  emu.  In  one  court  are  all  the  rare  birds  of  Australia  stuffed 
and  perched  on  native  boughs.  Some  of  them  are  of  very  brilliant  plumage,  and 
they  range  from  the  emu  down  to  a  humming-bird,  which  is  pure  white.  In  this 
room  is  also  placed  a  group  of  four  platypus.  This  is  the  species  found  in  the 
southern  hemisphere  that  science  has  never  been  able  to  classify.  It  is  about  the 
size  of  a  beaver,  has  fur  like  a  seal,  a  bill  like  a  duck,  eyes  like  a  fish,  is  web- 
footed,  lays  eggs,  hatches  its  young,  and  lives  in  the  water.  It  is  a  sort  of  com- 
bination misfit,  and  is  very  rare.  One  of  the  courts  is  given  up  to  the  Technical 
College  of  Sydney,  and  illustrates  all  the  work  done  there.  Another  is  a  model 
of  an  Australian  newspaper  office.  The  ethnological  display  is  very  rich,  as  it 
includes,  as  far  as  can  be  shown,  the  history  of  the  aboriginals  of  not  only  Aus- 
tralia but  all  of  the  South  Sea  Islands.  One  of  the  most  attractive  features  is  the 
photographs  taken  by  the  government  artist.  Under  the  coat-of-arms,  and  over 
the  entrance,  is  a  photograph  of, Sydney  harbor,  thirty-two  feet  long,  and  there 
are  several  eight  feet  long.  The  walls  of  all  the  courts  are  lined  with  photo- 
graphs 40  by  50  inches,  showing  all  of  the  public  buildings,  statues,  mountain  and 
water  scenery,  the  banks,  and  many  other  objects  of  interest.  There  are  also 
two  collections  of  water  colors.  One  is  by  Mrs.  Rown  of  Sydney,  and  represents 
all  of  the  animals  of  the  country.  The  home  government  offered  $35,000  for  the 
collection,  but  it  is  not  for  sale.  The  other  is  by  Cayley,  and  is  of  the  birds  of 
the  country. 

In  the  Department  of  Mines  and  Mining  the  New  South  Wales  exhibit  at- 
tracts much  attention,  and  it  gives  a  good  idea  of  the  great  mineral  resources  of 
Australia,

The  pavilion  of  Norway  is  located  in  the  northeast  end  of  the  park  be- 
tween the  Fine  Arts  Building  and  the  pavilion  of  France.  Its  style  of  architecture 
is  of  the  old  Norse,  so  called  Stane-kirke  type,  which  dates  from  the  eleventh 
century,  and  of  which  examples  are  still  to  be  found  in  several  old  church  build- 
ings preserved  in  Norway  as  memorials  from  centuries  ago.  The  historical 
dragon  heads,  which  adorned  the  Viking  ships  of  that  and  earlier  periods,  will 
be  recognized  in  the  similarly  ornamented  gables  of  the  pavilion. 

The  building  is  24x40  feet  and  is  used  as  headquarters  for  Norwegians  and 
as  an  office  for  the  Norwegian  Commission. 

The  Norwegian  exhibit  is  found  principally  in  the  Department  of  Agriculture. 
It  consists  mainly  of  cheese,  beers  and  ale,  liquors,  bitters,  pure  spirits,  whale- 
bone, whale  guano  and  other  sea  and  whale  products,  oils,  wood  pulp,  timber,  etc. 

In  the  Department  of  Horticulture  are  preserved  vegetables,  pickles,  etc. 

Fish  products,  aquatic  birds,  nets,  seines,  hooks,  lines,  harpoons  and  equip- 
ments for  whales  and  porpoises,  foghorns  and  lanterns,  skin  and  oil  clothing  and

equipments,  cured  fish,  cod  liver  oil,  stearine,  preserved  fish,  etc.,  peculiar  to  the 
fish  industry  of  Norway,  are  shown  in  the  Department  of  Fish  and  Fisheries. 

In  the  Department  of  Transportation  Exhibits  are  shown  models  of  locomo- 
tive and  railway  cars,  blocks  and  dead-eyes,  mail  wagons,  sleighs,  kariols,  etc 

Wood-carving,  beer  tankards,  drinking  horns,  portieres,  wall  hangings,  jew- 
elry, silver  and  gilt  table  ware,  gold  ornaments,  diamond  jewelry,  watches,  rugs, 
gloves,  embroideries,  brushes,  dolls,  stoves,  mud  protectors,  etc  ,  are  shown  in 
the  Department  of   Manufactures. 

Books,  school  material,  publications  and  Norwegian  statistics,  drawings  and 
desk  for  deaf  mutes,  reports  and  charts  of  Arctic  expeditions,  photos  of  scenery, 
statistical  maps  of  mining  and  commerce,  musical  instruments,  etc.,  are  shown  in 
the  Department  of   Liberal  Arts. 

ORANGE  FREE  STATE.

An  exhibit  of  uncut  diamonds  is  made  by  Orange  Free  State  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Mines  and  Mining. 

PARAGUAY. 
Dr.  Cesar  Gondra,  E.  E.  and   M.  P.,  President  ad  honorem;  Dr.  Emll  Hassler,   Commis- 
sioner  General;  Mr.  A.  R.  Sainte   Croix,  Commissioner;  Mr.   Frederico    Fernandez,  Assistant 
Commissioner;  Mr,  Fidel  G.  Pierra,  Assistant  Commissioner. 

Although  any  one  coming  to  the  Exposition  from  Paraguay  must  traverse 
the  Atlantic  twice  and  travel  a  dozen  thousand  miles,  a  number  of  visitors 
from  that  country  are  coming.  In  making  the  trip  it  is  necessary  to  go  to  Italy, 
where  a  vessel  can  be  taken  for  New  York,  Paraguay  makes  an  interesting 
exhibit,  the  object  being  to  show  what  an  immense  commerce  could  be  main- 
tained between  that  country  and  this— trade  that  now  benefits  Europe.  With 
vessels  making  the  trip  direct,  both  the  countries  would  be  very  materially  ben- 
efited,

The  exhibits  in  the  various  departments  made  by  Russia  are  valued  at  $500,- 
000.  In  the  Department  of  Mines  and  Mining  diamonds  are  a  conspicuous  feat- 
ure of  the  Russian  exhibit. 

Russian  paintings,  statuary  and  other  specimens  of  fine  arts  are  exhibited  in 
the  art  galleries,  while  in  the  Departments  of  Manufactures  and  Transportation 
Exhibits  many  specimens  of  Russian  handiwork  are  shown. 

In  the  Department  of  Manufactures  can  be  seen  one  of  the  greatest  collec- 
tions of  Russian  furs  ever  shown  outside  the  empire  The  fur-bearing  animals 
of  the  great  Siberian  steppes,  as  well  as  those  of  European  Russia,  have  been 
drawn  upon.  The  dressing  and  manufacture  of  furs  into  garments,  for  which  the 
Russians  are  noted,  are  also  here  illustrated.  Silverware  of  fabulous  value; 
furniture,  in  which  many  of  the  valuable  native  woods,  besides  some  remarkable 
effects  in  wood  carving  and  ornamentation,  is  shown.  There  is  a  very  complete 
display  of  silks  in  the  various  grades,  for  which  Russian  silk  manufacturers  are 
specially  noted,  including  some  remarkable  specimens  of  gold  and  silver  weaving 
on  silk  backgrounds.  Such  methods  of  ornamentation  are  only  common,  even 
in  Europe,  when  some  priceless  vestments  for  priestly  use  are  being  prepared, 
or  some  special  decorations  for  court  purposes  are  contemplated.  In  the  ordinary 
commercial  fabrics,  such  as  cotton  and  woolen  goods,  Russia  also  makes  an 
elaborate  showing. 

A  special  collective  exhibit  of  Asiatic  products  is  made.  The  Asiatic  exhibit 
is  part  of  a  similar  exhibit  held  in  Moscow  two  years  ago  which  attracted  world- 
wide attention  at  that  time.  It  contains  a  collection  of  implements,  manufact- 
ures, arts  and  illustrations  of  the  natural  resources  and  methods  of  life  in  the 
oriental  dominions  of  the  czar.  This  is  probably  the  only  reliable  exhibit  of 
Asiatic  products,  customs  and  arts  ever  brought  to  America,  and  will  be 
instructive  in  furnishing  an  accurate  knowledge  of  the  people  of  central  Asia. 
There  is  also  a  large  display  of  pianos  by  Russian  makers.  Then  there  are 
beautiful  bronzes,  malachites  and  marbles  by  leading  manufacturers. 

In  the  Department  of  Liberal  Arts,  Russia  makes  a  fine  showing.  There  is 
a  complete  exhibit  by  the  principal  governmental  and  private  schools  of  the 
empire;  also  specimens  of  gold  and  silver  embroidery,  etc. 

In  the  Department  of  Fine  Arts  over  200  works  of  art  are  shown.  The 
Imperial  Academy  of  Fine  Arts  at  St.  Petersburg  has  sent  out  what  is  probably 
the  best  collection  of  Russian  paintings  ever  shown  at  a  foreign  Exposition.  It 
is  not  claimed,  however,  that  all  the  leading  artists  of  the  empire  have  contributed 
to  the  exhibit.  The  younger  Russian  artists  are  out  in  force,  and  many  of  the 
older  ones  with  whose  work  the  art  world  is  familiar.  The  studios  of  St.  Peters- 
burg and  Moscow  are  represented.  The  works  of  such  distinctive  Moscovite 
painters    as    Beroff    are    seen    in    the    collection.      The   great   works   of    Rapin,

Semiratsky  and  Makoffsky  give  a  distinctively  Russian  tone  to  the  exhibit.  There 
is  not  much  sculpture  in  the  art  display.  There  are  some  engravings  and  a  few 
water  colors.     Oil  paintings  constitute  the  leading  feature  of  the  exhibit. 

In  the  Shoe  and  Leather  Building  Russia  shows  the  various  grades  of  rubber 
and  leather  fabrics.  A  particular  feature  of  the  Russian  leather  exhibit  is  mosaic 
leather  and  stamped  leather.  There  are  twenty-eight  exhibitors  in  the  department 
of  the  shoe  and  leather  exhibit,  all  being  prominent  Russian  firms  or  corporations. 

In  the  Department  of  Transportation  Exhibits  models  of  vessels,  cables  and 
chains,  and  maps  and  plans  of  railways,  canals,  etc.,  are  shown. 

In  Mines  and  Mining  the  great  Siberian  mines  are  illustrated  by  maps, 
implements  and  statistics,  and  metallurgy  is  shown  in  various  forms.

Russia  in  Electricity  Building.

collection  of  specimens  of  all  forms  of  the  finny  tribe  found  in  Russian  waters.

Siam's  exhibit  is  mostly  of  the  products  of  the  soil  and  manufacture,  speci- 
mens of  woods  and  especially  of  teak,  which  is  used  extensively  in  ship  building, 
are  shown.  One  piece  is  six  feet  broad,  which  is  quite  a  curiosity.  Exhibits  of 
carving  in  ivory,  work  in  brass,  native  vegetables  and  various  fancy  articles  of 
manufacture  are  also  made.  The  wife  of  the  Siamese  Commissioner  has  charge 
of  the  exhibits  of  the  women  of  Siam.  This  exhibit  is  mostly  of  fancy  work, 
crocheting  and  needlework.  The  King  appropriated  $35,000  for  the  purpose  of 
arranging  the  exhibit. 

SPAIN. 

H.  E.  Senor  Don  Enrique  Dupuy  de  Lome,  Minister  Plenipotentiary,  Royal  Commissioner- 
General;  Senor  Don  A.  G.  del  Campillo,  Secretary  of  Legation,  Assistant  Commissioner  General;

The  Spanish  Building,  which  is  modeled  after  the  Casa  Lonja  of  Valencia, 
shows  only  parts  of  the  original  building,  the  column  hall  and  the  tower  having 
been  reduced  in  proportion  to  three-fourths  of  the  original,  which  was  erected 
before  the  date  of  the  discovery  of  America.  The  structure  has  a  frontage  of 
84  feet  6  inches.  There  are  three  floors,  two  of  which  are  occupied  by  the  Royal 
Commission.  The  space  is  distributed  in  three  naves  longitudinally  and  five 
naves  transversely,  corresponding  to  eight  pillars  in  the  center,  with  quarters  and 
halves  in  the  lateral  walls  and  corners,  forming  in  all  fifteen  vaults.  The  orna- 
ments represent  the  church,  magistracy,  military  and  the  arts;  also  the  agricult- 
ural, commercial  and  industrial  pursuits  of  the  kingdom.  The  material  is  wood' 
and  staff. 

The  general  exhibits  made  by  Spain  outrank  anything  that  country  did  at  the 
Centennial  or  the  last  two  Paris  Expositions.  The  wealthy  men  of  Spain  whose 
wine  cellars  are  famous  at  home  took  so  much  interest  in  the  exhibit  as  to  send 
over  12,000  bottles  of  their  choicest  collections.  This  forms  a  portion  of  the  wine 
display. 

In  the  Fine  Arts  Palace  are  shown  forty-six  oil  paintings  and  twenty-two 
sculptures  from  Barcelona,  besides  many  architectural  works  and  engravings.  To 
round  out  the  exhibit  of  manufactures,  the  displays  made  recently  at  a  special 
exhibition  at  Barcelona  were  shipped  here. 


140  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

First-class  exhibits  are  made  in  the  Departments  of  Machinery  and 
Electricity. 

In  the  Transportation  Exhibits  Department  the  Marquis  of  Comillas,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Spanish  Transatlantic  Company,  alone  took  all  the  space  assigned  to 
Spain  and  the  many  models  of  ancient  and  modern  naval  architecture  are  pro- 
vided for. 

The  agricultural  display  comprises  6,605  square  feet.  Exhibits  for  this 
department  come  from  Cuba,  Puerto  Rico,  the  Philippine  islands,  and  the  coast 
of  Guinea.  These  provinces  show  samples  of  coffee,  sugar,  mineral  waters,  pre- 
serves, tobacco,  manilla  hemp,  cocoa,  chocolate,  etc. 

In  the  Department  of  Ethnology  Spain  occupies  10,000  feet.  It  has  also  the 
chapel  of  the  Convent  of  La  Rabida  and  space  in  the  Woman's  Building.  Her 
Majesty,  the  Queen  Regent,  is  the  President  of  the  Spanish  Woman's  Commis- 
sion and  personally  superintends  the  work. 

The  Spanish  pavilion  in  the  Woman's  Building  contains  200  square  feet  and 
is  located  just  in  front  of  the  south  entrance.  A  recent  communication  from 
Spain  shows  the  appreciation  of  the  women  of  that  country  of  the  marked  con- 
sideration shown  them  by  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers.  Spanish  women  instead 
of  receiving  the  general  circular  letter  sent  to  other  countries  were  addressed  by 
a  personal  letter  from  the  President  of  the  Woman's  Board.  In  response  to  the 
cordial  letter  from  Mrs.  Palmer  there  was  much  enthusiasm  in  Spain,  and  a  great 
many  personal  relics  of  Queen  Isabella  are  therefore  exhibited.  In  the  collection 
is  the  sword  of  "Her  Majesty,"  which  is  preserved  in  the  Royal  Armory  at 
Madrid.  This,  together  with  a  portrait  of  Isabella,  and  some  jewels-  which 
belonged  to  her  occupy  the  place  of  honor  in  the  Spanish  woman's  exhibit. 
This  exhibit  is  so  complete  that  it  gives  a  comprehensive  idea  of  the  culture  and 
progress  of  Spanish  women  during  the  different  periods  of  their  history.  A 
curious  and  interesting  feature  of  the  exhibit  consists  of  a  number  of  ingeniously 
contrived  manikins,  showing  with  historical  accuracy  the  characteristic  types  and 
costumes  of  the  different  provinces  of  Spain.  Many  beautiful  and  strange  arti- 
cles of  needlework  made  by  the  country  women  are  in  the  collection.  Cushions 
richly  covered  with  gold  and  silver  lace,  a  quantity  of  the  beautiful  variety  of 
lace  known  as  "Olonde;"  spinning  wheels,  curios  made  by  the  primitive  machines 
in  linen  and  worsted,  and  picturesque  ornaments  for  the  coiffure  are  shown. 
Donna  Concipcion  Arenal,  who  recently  died,  was  in  charge  of  the  literary 
exhibit,  as  she  was  the  recognized  leader  of  all  intellectual  movements  in  her 
country,  especially  in  the  line  of  philanthropy  and  reform.  The  religious  writ- 
ings of  St.  Theresa,  of  Jesus,  which  rank  with  the  first  Spanish  classics,  a  volume 
of  Latin  poems  Written  by  Donna  Lucia  Riega  in  the  sixteenth  century,  the  orig- 
inal manuscripts  of  a  number  of  poems  written  by  Queen  Maria  Amelia,  the  sec- 
ond wife  of  King  Ferdinand  VII,  are  also  in  the  collection. 

The  Duke  of  Verugua  sent  to  the  Siate  Department  at  Washington  the

SWEDEN. 

Mr.  Artur  Leffler,  Royal  Commissioner;  Mr.  Axel  Welin,  Secretary;  Mr.  Tom  Bergendal, 
Special  Commissioner  for  Manufactures;  Mr.  Carl  Dellwik,  Superintendent  Swedish  Section 
Machinery  Hall;  Mr.  Robert  Lindblom,  Resident  Commissioner;  Baron  Nils  Posse,  Special 
Commissioner  for  Tourist  Department;  Mr.  Victor  E.  Rhodin,  Official  Commercial  Representa- 
tive; Mr.  Gust.  Wickman,  Architect;  Mr.  Anders  L.  Zorn,  Special  Commissioner  of  Fine  Arts; 
Mr.  Erik  Lundquist,  Assistant  Private  Secretary. 

The  Swedish  Building,  which  is  located  to  the  northeast  of  the  Fisheries 
and  between  the  lagoon  and  the  lake,  is  one  of  the  handsomest  of  all  the  foreign 
buildings.  The  space  alloted  Sweden  was  triangular  in  shape,  and  the  building 
was  made  to  conform  to  the  space  in  order  to  utilize  it  to  the  utmost.  A  hexa- 
gon was  inscribed  at  the  center  of  the  space,  and  there  the  main  hall  was  located. 
In  the  three  corners  are  rooms  of  considerable  size.  Galleries  run  around  the 
building.  The  main  hall  is  sixty-five  feet  across,  and  the  pitch  of  the  cupola, 
which  rises  above  it,  is  seventy  feet,  and  above  the  cupola  is  the  spire.  The 
Swedish  flag  is  unfurled  from  the  flagstaff  above  the  spire  150  feet  from  the 
ground.  The  entire  area  of  the  floor  is  11,000  square  feet.  The  building  was 
constructed  in  Sweden,  where  it  was  temporarily  put  together.  Afterward  it 
was  taken  apart  and  brought  to  Chicago.  It  cost  $40,000.  The  design  of  the 
building  is  partly  the  product  of  the  architect's  personal  taste  and  fancy,  but  in 
working  out  the  drawings  he  has  to  a  great  extent  allowed  himself  to  be  guided 
by  the  style  of  Swedish  churches  and  gentlemen's  houses  of  the  sixteenth  and 
seventeenth  centuries.     As  far  as  possible  the   characteristics  of  old  Swedish

forms  an  exhibit  of  its  own,  consisting  of  modern  brick,  terra-cotta,  and  cement 
work  from  the  most  prominent  manufacturers  of  Sweden.  The  remainder  of  the 
building  is  entirely  of  wood,  all  the  work  being  done  by  the  Eskelstuna  Iraforad- 
lingsaktiebolag  in  Sweden.  Following  the  old  Swedish  fashion,  the  whole  of  the 
roof  and  the  walls  are  covered  with  shingles.  The  outside  of  the  woodwork  is 
impregnated  with  a  preserving  liquid  to  prevent  decay.  The  inside  of  the  pavilion 
is  painted  in  light  colors  and  richly  decorated  with  bunting,  coats  of  arms  and 
crests.  A  fine  exhibit  of  the  world-famed  Swedish  iron  ore  is  made.  A  display 
of  the  manufactured  products  of  iron,  china  goods  and  glass  products  are  well 
represented  in  the  pavilion.  There  is  also  a  display  of  gold  and  silverware 
and  wood  pulp  products.  A  further  attraction  is  the  excellent  representation  of 
a  genuine  Swedish  home  with  beautiful  suites  of  furniture  and  highly  artistic 
drapery.  Exactly  opposite  the  main  entrance  of  the  building  is  a  large  picture  of 
the  capital  of  Sweden,  "the  Venice  of  the  North,"  with  its  famous  royal  castle. 
Wax  figures  stand  in  front  of  this  picture  dressed  in  the  picturesque  garb  of  the 
Swedes,  and  to  one  side  is  a  panorama  of  Swedish  landscape,  while  the  other  side 
is  occupied  by  a  Swedish  peasant's  cottage.  In  the  outdoor  sports  exhibit  are 
skates,  snow  shoes,  sleighs,  canoes  and  yachts.  A  carefully  executed  bust  of 
Gustavus  Adolphus  II  has  also  been  placed  in  this  room.  In  the  galleries  are 
gathered  exhibits  illustrative  of  the  school  system,  which  are  admittedly  of  the 
first  rank.  Embroideries  and  needle  work  displays  attract  lady  visitors,  who  will 
also  be  pleased  with  the  Swedish  women's  work  in  the  Woman's  Building  under 
the  patronage  of  her  Majesty  the  Queen  of  Sweden  and  Norway.  The  office  of 
the  Chief  Swedish  commissioner,  Mr.  Arthur  Leffler,  is  at  the  north  end  of  the 
Swedish  Building.  Exhibits  from  the  Scandinavian  peninsula  will  also  be

SWITZERLAND. 

Mr.  James  Perrenoud,  Executive  Commissioner;  Mr.  Arnold  Holinger,  Commissioner. 

In  the  Manufactures  Building  the  display  of  Switzerland  is  one  of  the  most 
attractive.  This  exhibit  is  placed  at  the  south  end  and  is  reached  through  an 
arch  over  which  is  the  Swiss  cross  in  bright  red.  All  around  the  three  sides  of 
the  square  are  pictures  of  the  Swiss  Alps.  The  pictures  are  done  in  colored 
crayons,  are  realistically  beautiful  and  can  hardly  be  told  from  oil  paintings. 
They  represent  scenes  well  known  to  travelers.  In  the  foreground  of  man  of 
the  scenes  are  shown  pastoral  scenes  of  the  table-lands.  The  pavilions  contain 
all  of  that  rare  handiwork  for  which  the  people  are  famous,  and  in  one  corner  is 
shown  a  family  of  Swiss  watch-makers,  where  every  one  down  to  the  baby  is  at 
work.  The  baby's  share  of  the  work  is  done  with  its  rattle.  The  delicate  little 
wheels  are  put  in  the  rattle  with  emery  dust,  and  while  the  baby  amuses  itself  by 
pounding  the  toy  it  polishes  the  wheels.

bridge  over  the  lagoon,  with  the  building  of  the  Fisheries  exhibit. 

The  south  half  of  the  Government  Building  is  devoted  to  the  exhibits  of  the 
Postoffice  department,  Treasury  department,  War  department,  and  Department

operations  from  a  practical  standpoint,  it  is  admitted  by  all  to  have  exercised  a  powerful  influence

glaciers,  and  of  the  constructive  and  destructive  effects  of  water;  a  collection  of  ornamental 
minerals  with  a  complete  series  of  crude  and  polished  gems;  an  anthropological  display,  show-

In  general  the  museum  makes  displays  of  certain  selected  arts  illustrative  of  development 
and  of  museum  methods  of  treatment,  such  as  transportation,  the  construction  of  dwellings,  the 
utilization  of  wind,  river  currents,  steam  and  electricity. 

Department  of  Justice. — This  department's  exhibit  consists  largely  of  such  historical  docu- 
ments and  articles  of  interest  as  are  culled  from  the  files,  records,  and  possessions  of  the  courts 
of  the  United  States.  Justice,  as  a  governmental  function,  does  not  readily  materialize  in  "arti- 
cles" adapted  to  Exposition  purposes,  yet  the  governmental  display  would  be  incomplete  with- 
out an  "appearance"  at  least  from  this  among  the  displays  of  the  other  executive  departments. 
The  exhibits,  though  comparatively  small  in  number  and  occupying  a  relatively  small  space,  are 
of  great  interest  to  lawyers,  and  under  the  head  of  installation  are  displayed  portraits  of  the 
eminent  jurists  who  have  filled  the  chair  of  attorney-general. 

Naval  Exhibit.  This  exhibit  is  made  outside  the  United  States  Government  Building. 
A  structure,  which,  to  all  outward  appearance  is  a  full-sized  modern  battle-ship,  has  been  erected 
on  piling  on  the  lake  front  in  the  northeast  portion  of  the  grounds.  It  is  surrounded  by  water 
and  has  the  appearance  of  being  moored  to  a  wharf.  The  structure  has  all  the  fittings  that 
belong  to  the  actual  ship,  such  as  guns,  turrets,  torpedo  tubes,  torpedo  nets  and  booms,  with 
boats,  anchors,  chain  cables,  davits,  awnings,  deck  fittings,  etc.,  together  with  all  appliances  for 
working  the  same.  Officers,  seamen,  mechanics  and  marines  are  detailed  by  the  Navy  Depart- 
ment during  the  Exposition,  and  the  discipline  and  mode  of  life  on  our  naval  vessels  are  com- 
pletely shown.  The  detail  of  men  is  not,  however,  as  great  as  the  complement  of  the  actual  ship. 
The  crew  gives  certain  drills,  especially  boat,  torpedo,  and  gun  drills,  as  in  a  vessel  of  war. 

The  dimensions  of  the  structure  are  those  of  the  actual  battleship,  to-wit:  length,  348  feet; 
width  amidships,  69  feet  3  inches;  and  from  the  water  line  to  the  top  of  the  main  deck,  12  feet. 
Centrally  placed  on  this  deck  is  a  superstructure  8  feet  high  with  a  hammock  berthing  on  the 
same  7  feet  high,  and  above  these  are  the  bridge,  chart-house,  and  the  boats. 

At  the  forward  end  of  the  superstructure  there  is  a  cone-shaped  tower,  called  the  "military 
mast,"  near  the  top  of  which  are  placed  two  circular  "tops"  as  receptacles  for  sharpshooters. 
Rapid-iiring  guns  are  mounted  in  each  of  these  tops.  The  height  from  the  water  line  to  the 
summit  of  this  military  mast  is  76  feet,  and  above  is  placed  a  flagstaff  for  signaling. 

The  battery  mounted  comprises  four  13-inch  breech-loading  rifle  cannon;  eight  8-inch 
breech-loading  rifle  cannon;  four  6-inch  breech-loading  rifle  cannon;  twenty  6-pound  rapid-fir- 
ing guns;  six  1-pound  rapid-firing  guns;  two  Gatling  guns,  and  six  torpedo  tubes  or  torpedo 
guns.     All  of  these  are  placed  and  mounted  respectively  as  in  the  genuine  battleship. 

On  the  starboard  side  of  the  ship  is  shown  the  torpedo  protection  net,  stretching  the  entire 
length  of  the  vessel.  Steam  launches  and  cutters  ride  at  the  booms,  and  all  the  outward  appear- 
ance of  a  real  ship  of  war  is  imitated. 

The  superstructure  shows  the  cabins,  staterooms,  lavatories,  lactrines,  messrooms,  galley, 
and  fittings,  mess-table  for  crew,  lockers,  berthings,  etc.;  also  the  manner  in  which  officers  and 
enlisted  men  live,  according  to  the  rules  of  the  Navy.  On  the  superstructure  deck  and  bridge 
is  shown  the  manner  in  which  the  rapid-firing  guns,  search  lights,  beats,  etc.,  are  handled.      The 


150  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

entrance  to  the  conning  tower  is  from  the  deck,  in  which  are  all  appurtenances  that  the  captain 
has  at  his  disposal  when  taking  the  ship  into  battle  and  during  the  progress  of  a  fight  at  sea. 

An  electric  light  plant  is  installed  and  provision  made  for  heating  with  steam.  On  the 
berth  deck  are  shown  the  various  fittings  pertaining  to  the  hull,  machinery  and  ordnance;  ord- 
nance implements,  including  electrical  devices,  gun-carriage  motors  and  range  finders;  models 
showing  typical  ships  of  the  past  and  present;  samples  of  the  provisions,  clothing,  stores  and 
supplies,  bunting,  flags,  etc.;  in  short,  the  thousand  and  one  things  that  go  to  make  up  the  outfit 
of  a  man-of-war. 

The  traditional  costumes  of  the  sailors  of  the  Navy  from  1775  to  1848  are  shown  by  men 
dressed  in  those  costumes. 

-  Postoffice  Department. — As  in  all  previous  Expositions  in  which  it  has  taken  part,  the 
Postoffice  Department  has  established  in  its  space  a  working  postoffice,  so  arranged  that  it 
will  at  the  same  time  serve  all  the  purposes  of  a  postoffice  for  the  Exposition,  and  afford  an  op- 
portunity to  visitors  to  study  the  interior  workings  of  a  model  city  postoffice.  In  addition  to  this 
a  display  is  made  of  all  articles  of  postal  equivprr*  it,  postage  stamps,  stamped  envelopes,  etc.,  to 
which  is  added  a  collection  of  curious  articles  ^f  mail  matter  which  have  accumulated  in  the 
Dead  Letter  Office.  A  new  feature  of  the  display  are  articles  which  have  been  sent  during  the 
past  three  years,  in  compliance  with  an  invitation  from  the  postmaster-general,  by  postmasters, 
and  others,  consisting  of  relics,  curiosities,  etc.,  pertaining  to  the  postal  service.  Another  feature  of 
the  departmental  exhibits  are  articles  contributed  or  loaned  by  foreign  postal  administrations, 
illustrating  the  postal  service  in  the  respective  countries  from  which  they  are  received. 

From  the  postoffice  twenty-five  carriers  deliver  letters,  and  there  is  a  force  of  twenty-five 
clerks  to  handle  the  business.  This  does  not  include  the  railway  postoffice  clerks  who  throw 
letters  and  papers  in  the  mail  car  that  stands  just  north  of  the  postoffice.  One  hundred  and  fifty 
letter  boxes  have  been  placed  around  the  grounds  and  in  the  Plaisance,  each  State  and  govern- 
ment building  having  a  box.  The  postoffice  is  a  branch  of  the  Chicago  postoffice.  It  shows  the 
workings  of  a  postoffice  of  the  first-class,  including  the  operations  of  the  inquiry,  stamp,  money 
order,  registry,  general  and  carriers'  delivery  departments.  The  mailing  division,  where  out- 
going mail  is  handled,  occupies  the  north  half  of  the  space,  and  the  city  division  for  incoming- 
mail  the  south  part.  In  the  gallery  are  the  offices  for  Gen.  Hazen,  third  assistant  postmaster- 
general,  and  Superintendent  Hastings.  The  outgoing  mail  collected  by  the  carriers  is  brought 
through  doors  on  the  west  side  of  the  office  and  dumped  onto  the  pickup  table  in  the  north  end 
of  the  mailing  division.  Six  stamping  machines  grouped  around  cancel  the  stamps,  and  the 
letters  are  put  through  a  rough  separation  by  States  in  a  case  that  stands  south  of  the  pickup 
table.  Six  clerks  working  before  three  double  distributing  cases  south  of  the  State  case  make  up 
the  mails  for  routes  and  pouch  it  for  the  railway  mail  cars.  The  opening  table  on  which  the  in- 
coming mail  is  back-stamped  stands  beneath  the  gallery.  Carriers  take  it  from  this  table  to  the 
tenant  double  cases  where  the  mail  is  made  up  into  routes  for  delivery  through  the  different 
buildings.  The  furniture  is  so  arranged  that  spectators  looking  through  the  glass  screen  can 
easily  see  every  phase  of  postoffice  work.  The  screen  is  a  handsome  piece  of  cabinet  work.  It 
is  made  of  quartered  oak  paneled  in  deep  squares.  The  grill  work  is  of  bronze,  and  the  glass  is 
of  fine  beveled  plate.  A  series  of  etched  designs  on  the  glass  depicts  the  evolution  of  the  mail 
service.  An  old-fashioned  six-horse  mail  coach  and  a  post  boy  represent  the  early  days  of  the 
service.  Well-executed  pictures  of  an  ocean  greyhound,  a  modern  railway  mail  car,  a  sound 
steamer,  a  mail  wagon  and  a  mail  carrier  with  his  pouch  bulging  with  letters  portray  the  mail- 
handling  facilities  of  to-day.  The  railway  mail  car  "Benjamin  Harrison"  stands  just  north  of  the 
postoffice  on  a  platform  in  the  mailing  division.  The  east  side  of  the  car  contains  plate  glass 
permitting  the  interior  to  be  seen.  It  is  manned  with  a  full  crew  of  railway  mail  clerks,  who 
show  how  letters  and  papers  are  handled  at  the  rate  of  sixty  miles  an  hour.  It  is  a  beautiful 
specimen  of  car-building,  seventy  feet  long  and  equipped  with  the  very  latest  appliances. 

The  Postoffice  Department  is  one  of  the  most  popular  branches  of  the  government.  It  ex- 
tends its  operations  through  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  land,  and  ministers  to  the  business  and 
social  concerns  of  every  citizen.  The  number  of  postoffices  now  in  operation  is  more  than 
68,000;  the  length  of  the  post  routes  is  about  452,000  miles,  and  nearly  375,000,000  miles  of  mail 
service  are  now  performed  annually.  The  space  occupied  by  the  Postoffice  Department 
comprises  an  area  of  15,082  square  feet,  of  which  12,223  feet  are  on  the  ground  floor,  and  2,860  feet 
in  the  gallery  just  overhead. 

Among  the  other  exhibits  of  this  department  are:

found  in  the  mails  and  undeliverable  to  the  senders  or  addresses.  The  Dead  Letter  Office  exhibits

the  American  Philatelic  Association  of  specimens  of  the  postage  stamps,  stamped  envelopes  and 
postal  cards  of  all  nations.  The  collection  is  an  unusually  complete  one,  and  embraces  some  50,000 
stamps  representing  the  most  rare  and  costly  articles  of  the  kind  known  to  the  stamp-collecting 
fraternity.  The  stamps  are  tastefully  mounted  on  sheets  and  inclosed  within  handsome  showcases 
specially  provided  for  the  purpose.  The  display  is  located  in  the  gallery  overlooking  the  gen- 
eral postal  exhibits,  and  it  occupies  about  1,600  square  feet  of  floor  space. 

The  postal  exhibits  of  this  country  are  supplemented  by  a  display  of  somewhat  corres- 
ponding articles  contributed  for  the  purpose  by  a  large  number  of  foreign  postal  administrations 
in  response  to  an  invitation  extended  by  the  Postoffice  Department  of  the  United  States  to  par- 
ticipate in  the  display.  Among  the  principal  countries  contributing  more  or  less  full  lines  of 
articles  of  postal  nature  are  Great  Britain,  and  dependencies  (embracing  Canada,  India,  New 
Zealand,  Newfoundland,  South  Australia,  Straits  Settlements,  Tasmania,  Victoria,  Bahamas, 
British  Honduras,  Windward  Islands,  Western  Africa,  Fiji  Islands,  Cape  Colony,  British  Guinea, 
and  British  West  Indies);  Germany,  France,  Austria,  Denmark,  Belgium,  Sweden,  Portugal, 
Mexico,  Switzerland,  Japan,  Egypt,  Java,  Tunis,  Nicaragua,  San  Salvador,  Hawaii  and  Liberia. 
In  addition  to  the  foregoing,  many  countries  have  sent  merely  collections  of  their  postage  stamps, 
stamped  envelopes  and  postal  cards.  The  foreign  display  is  grouped  separately  from  that  of 
the  United  States. 

Aside  from  the  attraction  which  the  display  of  postal  articles  of  foreign  countries  may 
prove  to  visitors,  it  will  afford  the  opportunity  for  examining  and  contrasting  the  methods 
employed  by  different  postal  administrations,  and  thereby  serve  to  confirm  the  value  of  existing 
conditions,  or  to  suggest  improvements  that  will  greatly  benefit  not  only  this  country  but  the 
world  at  large.  . 

On  the  whole,  the  display  of  the  Postoffice  Department  is  an  exceedingly  interesting  one» 
and  represents  by  far  the  most  extensive  and  valuable  collection  of  postal  articles  ever  gathered 
together.

Department  of  State. — To  illustrate  the  functions  of  the  Department  of  State  effectively 
it  is  considered  in  two  aspects:  First,  it  is  the  medium  through  which  our  governmental  affairs 
with  foreign  powers  are  conducted,  and  is  also  entrusted  with  various  domestic  affairs.  Second, 
it  is  the  repository  of  the  historical  archives  of  the  nation,  and  may  be  considered  the  bureau  of 
American  history. 

.  Taking  up  the  first  -of  these  divisions,  the  workings  of  each  bureau  of  the  department 
are  shown  by  means  of  blanks,  sample  letters,  circulars,  etc.  The  first  of  these  displays  shows 
how  the  Diplomatic  Bureau,  through  which  the  correspondence  with  our  embassies  or  legations, 
and  the  embassies  or  legations  of  foreign  powers  in  the  United  States,  transacts  its  business. 

The  second  display  shows  how  the  Consular  Bureau,  the  medium  of  correspondence  be- 
tween the  home  government  and  the  consular  corps  of  the  United  States,  is  conducted. 

The  third  display  shows  the  workings  of  the  Bureau  of  Statistics,  which  edits  and  issues 
the  reports  from  our  consuls  abroad,  relating  to  the  trade  of  their  respective  districts,  and  the 
avenues  open  for  the  introduction  of  American  merchandise  or  raw  products. 

The  fourth  display  illustrates  the  workings  of  the  Bureau  of  Accounts,  the  intermediary 
through  which  the  financial  affairs  of  the  department  are  conducted  and  the  agency  through 
which  the  law  books  of  the  United  States  are  sold. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  155 


The  fifth  display  illustrates  how  the  correspondence  of  the  department  is  indexed  and 
how  the  records  and  archives  are  preserved,  these  being  the  functions  of  the  Bureau  of  Indexes 
and  Archives. 

The  sixth  display  relates  to  the  Bureau  of  Rolls  and  Library,  in  which  are  deposited  the 
historical  records,  where  the  laws  of  the  United  States  are  prepared  for  the  printer,  and  where 
the  original  laws  are  finally  deposited,  and  where  the  books  and  periodicals  constituting  the  de- 
partment library  are  kept.  This  bureau  also  distributes  the  department  publications  except 
consular  reports. 

The  seventh  display  illustrates  the  workings  of  the  Bureau  of  Commissions  and  Pardons, 
where  the  commissions  of  the  executive  officers  of  the  government  who  constitute  the  President's' 
cabinet  are  made  out,  and  where  Presidential  pardons  to  criminals  convicted  before  the  courts  of 
the  United  States  are  written  and  recorded.  In  this  bureau  the  seal  of  the  United  States  is  de- 
posited and  the  method  of  affixing  it  to  public  instruments  is  illustrated. 

The  eighth  display  is  of  the  Passport  Bureau,  and  shows  how  passports  are  issued  to 
Americans  travelling  abroad.  The  seal  of  the  Department  of  State  is  in  this  bureau  and  an  im- 
pression of  it  is  shown  here. 

The  ninth  display  shows  the  workings  of  the  mail  division  and  how  communications  to 
embassies,  legations  and  consulates  are  sent. 

These  exhibits  are  followed  by  a  shelf  of  books,  containing  sample  volumes  of  every  class 
of  publication  issued  by  the  Department  of  State  both  in  the  past  and  at  the  present  day. 

The  second  division  of  the  Department  of  State  treats  of  the  history  of  the  United  States 
and  illustrates  the  part  which  the  department  has  played  in  it,  and  what  papers  are  deposited 
there  relating  to  the  time  before  the  department  was  in  existence. 

Beginning  with  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  the  original  of  which  is  in  the  custody  of 
the  secretary  of  state,  an  exact  photographic  reproduction  is  shown.  Underneath  it  is  the  draft 
of  the  instrument  in  Jefferson's  penmanship,  and  to  accompany  it  are  relics  of  Jefferson,  and  his 
portrait  after  .the  original  by  Wilson  Peale.  Surrounding  the  declaration  are  pictures  of  the  fol- 
lowing men  who  signed  it:  John  Adams,  Richard  Henry  Lee,  Thomas  Jefferson,  William  Floyd, 
James  Hewes,  Elbridge  Gerry,  Samuel  Chase,  Samuel  Huntington,  Samuel  Adams,  Thomas 
McKean,  Charles  Carroll  (of  Carrollton),  Thomas  Heyward,  Jr.,  Francis  Hopkinson,  William

Lewis  Morris,  John  Hancock,  Robert  Morris,  Benjamin  Franklin  and  John  Witherspoon. 

Autograph  letters  of  all  the  "signers,"  also,  are  shown,  and  a  printed  copy  of  the  declara- 
tion, as  it  was  issued  July  5,  1776,  besides  a  copy  of  it  as  it  appeared  in  the  Connecticut  Gazette  a 
short  time  afterward. 

In  a  case  below  the  Declaration  of  Independence  is  a  photographic  copy  of  the  constitution 
of  the  United  States.  This  is  illustrated  by  an  oil  portrait  of  James  Madison,  the  "father  of  the 
constitution,"  by  his  writings  and  by  writings  of  John  Jay  and  Alexander  Hamilton,  who  together 
with  Madison  wrote  the  "Federalist."  Pictures  of  the  following  members  of  the  convention 
which  framed  the  constitution  are  also  shown-  James  McClurg,  George  Wythe,  Luther  Martin, 
John  Francis  Mercer,  Oliver  Ellsworth,  Rufus  King,  John  Blair,  John  Langdon,  George  Mason, 
Edmund  Randolph,  John  Dickinson,  Daniel  Carroll,  Alexander  Martin,  William  Few,  Alexander

son, Gunning  Bedford,  Richard  Bassett,  Daniel  St.  Thomas  Jenifer,  James  McHenry,  Elbridge 
Gerry.  James  Madison  and  Roger  Sherman. 

The  early  history  of  our  government  is  further  elucidated  by  letters  of  Benjamin  Franklin 
and  Franklin  relics,  by  a  portrait  of  George  Washington,  his  writings  and  various  Washington 
relics.  Here,  also,  is  exhibited  a  bronze  equestrian  statuette  of  Washington,  by  Baron  Machetti, 
from  the  original  study  and  model  by  his  master,  M.  Houdon,  of  Paris,  in  1785-90,  for  an  eques- 
trian statue,  which,  according  to  Thomas  Jefferson,  then  minister  to  France,  was  sent  to  America 
by  Houdon  with  the  expectation  of  receiving  an  order  from  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  to 
have  it  cast  in  bronze.  The  model  was  destroyed  by  fire  in  Washington,  leaving  this  statuette  as 
the  only  survival.  Relics  and  portraits  of  several  of  Washington's  generals  are  shown,  notably 
the  sword  voted  by  Congress  to  his  aide-de-camp,  Colonel  Tench  Tilghman,  as  the  messenger  who 
bore  to  Philadelphia  the  announcement  of  the  surrender  of  Lord  Cornwallis  at  Yorktown,  and  the 
sash  of  General  Lafayette  which  was  used  to  bind  the  wound  he  received  at  the  battle  of  Brandy- 
wine,  September  11,  1777. 

The  Revolutionary  period  is  also  illustrated  by  the  original  treaty  of  friendship  and  alli- 
ance with  France,  signed  February  6,  1778,  by  pictures  of  Louis,  the  French  king,  of  Count  de 
Vergennes,  his  minister,  through  whom  the  negotiations  were  conducted,  and  by  letters  of  Silas 
Deane,  Arthur  Lee,  Ralph  Izard  and  a  few  others,  our  early  ministers  abroad.  There  are  also 
numerous  letters  of  Louis. 

To  mark  the  close  of  the  Revolution  the  treaty  of  peace  with  Great  Britain  is  shown  and  a 
photograph  of  the  painting  of  the  signing. 

After  the  formation  of  the  government  under  the   constitution,  the  expansion  of  the  terri- 


154  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

tory  of  the  United  States  under  various  treaty  provisions  is  shown  by  seven  different  maps,  and 
five  maps  demonstrate  the  growth  of  our  consular  and  diplomatic  representation  abroad. 

The  treaty  purchasing  the  Louisiana  territory  from  the  government  of  Napoleon  Bona- 
parte is  illustrated  by  a  portrait  of  Barbe  Marbois,  the  negotiator  on  the  part  of  the  French  gov- 
ernment and  by  writings  of  Robert  R.  Livingston  and  James  Monroe,  the  plenipotentiaries  on 
the  part  of  the  United  States.     An  oil  portrait  of  Monroe  is  shown. 

The  treaty  of  peace  with  Great  Britain  which  terminated  the  War  of  1812  is  illustrated  by 
oil  portraits  of  Henry  Clay  and  John  Quincy  Adams,  as  well  as  by  their  writings  and  the  writings 
of  James  A.  Bayard,  Jonathan  Russell  and  Albert  Gallatin,  the  other  American  plenipotentiaries. 
Other  treaties  of  importance  are  shown,  notably  those  from  powers  of  the  far  East. 

As  proclamations  are  issued  through  the  Department  of  State  several  original  ones  are 
displayed.  There  is  an  early  Thanksgiving  Proclamation  of  George  Washington,  the  Nullifica- 
tion Proclamation  of  Andrew  Jackson,  accompanied  by  several  Jackson  relics,  a  portrait  of  John 
C.  Calhoun  and  writings  of  Edward  Livingston,  Secretary  of  State  when  the  proclamation  was 
issued. 

The  Emancipation  Proclamation  of  Abraham  Lincoln  accompanies  his  life-sized  portrait, 
which  is  set  off  by  a  silk  woven  flag  presented  to  the  United  States  January  17,  1866,  by  the 
weavers  of  Lyons,  as  a  durable  expression  of  their  sympathy  at  Lincoln's  death. 

A  large  number  of  letters  of  a  ceremonial  character  from  foreign  sovereigns  and  presi- 
dents to  the  President  of  the  United  States  are  displayed.  They  include  letters  of  historical 
interest  and  one  from  each  head  of  government  at  the  present  day. 

The  history  of  the  development  of  the  present  device  for  the  American  seal  and  coat  of 
arms  is  shown  by  illustrations  taken  from  the  original  designs,  and  a  large  emblazoned  repro- 
duction of  the  arms. 

The  International  American  Conference,  held  under  the  auspices  of  the  Department  of 
State  in  1889,  is  called  attention  to  by  portraits  of  the  delegates;  and  copies  of  the  various  recipro- 
city treaties  that  have  been  entered  into  are  displayed. 

Executive  Mansion. — The  first  case  in  the  Department  of  State  compartment  is  devoted 
to  a  simple  showing  of  the  workings  of  the  office  of  the  President  of  the  United  States.  These 
are  illustrated  by  a  few  blank  forms,  by  the  President's  seal,  and  by  the  engraved  cards  used  in 
official  entertaining. 

Bureau  of  the  American  Republics. — In  the  east  gallery  of  the  Government  Build- 
ing, which  is  reached  by  double  stairways  on  either  side  of  the  eastern  entrance  fronting  the 
lake,  is  the  exhibit  of  the  Bureau  of  the  American  Republics  at  Washington,  made  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Department  of  State. 

The  Bureau  of  the  American  Republics  is  an  institution  maintained  at  Washington  by  the 
nineteen  independent  nations  of  the  American  continents,  "For  the  Prompt  Dissemination  of 
Commercial  Information  "  It  was  established  upon  the  recommendation  of  the  recent  Interna- 
tional American  Conference  for  the  purpose  of  making  known  to  the  world,  and  particularly  to 
the  people  of  the  United  States,  the  resources,  industries,  progress  and  commercial  advantages 
of  the  Republics  of  Mexico  and  Central  and  South  America.  Its  headquarters  are  at  No.  2  La- 
fayette Square,  Washington,  D.  C,  and  its  Director  is  William  E.  Curtis.  The  Bureau  publishes 
an  annual  Handbook  of  the  American  Republics;  a  series  of  handbooks  of  each  of  the  nations; 
commercial  directories  of  the  principal  cities  for  the  use  of  merchants  and-  manufacturers;  the 
tariff  laws,  import  duties  and  customs  regulations  of  the  several  countries,  and  frequent  bulletins 
containing  useful  information  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  desire  to  engage  in  trade  with  the  other 
American  Republics.      It  also  answers  specific  inquiries  concerning  commercial  matters. 

Its  exhibit  is  devoted  to  the  illustration  of  the  condition,  resources,  customs,  industries  and 
commerce  of  Mexico,  Central  and  South  America  and  the  West  Indies.  Added  to  this  is  a  special 
commercial  exhibit,  showing  the  articles  of  import  into  Latin  American  countries,  their  prices, 
popular  patterns  of  goods,  samples  of  implements  in  demand  there,  and  the  methods  of  packing 
for  transportation  into  the  interior  of  the  countries  when  there  are  no  railways. 

The  countries  included  in  this  classification  are  Mexico,  Guatemala,  Honduras,  Salvador, 
Nicaragua,  Costa  Rica,  Columbia,  Venezuela,  Ecuador,  Peru,  Bolivia,  Chile,  Argentine  Republic, 
Uruguay,  Paraguay,  Brazil,  Santo  Domingo  and  Hayti,  British  Guiana  and  the  West  Indies  gen- 
erally. 

By  means  of  a  profusion  of  enlarged  photographs,  drawings  and  paintings,  a  glimpse  of 
those  countries  is  given  the  observer.  Beginning  with  Mexico,  these  pictures  represent  the  feat- 
ures of  each  country,  its  native  population,  its  architecture,  etc.,  from  the  Rio  Grande  to  Cape 
Horn.  Many  photographs  and  paintings  show  the  peculiar  costumes  and  customs  of  the  people, 
how  they  eat,  sleep,  work  and  amuse  themselves  at  their  national  games,  and  finally  how  they 
dispose  of  their  dead,  with  the  peculiar  methods  of  sepulture,  tombs  and  monuments. 

Particular  attention  has  been  paid  to  the  elaboration  of  everything  distinctive  in  the  life 
of  the  Central  and  South  American  people  in  order  to  familiarize  residents  of  the  North  with 
their  distinguishing  characteristics.  A  prominent  place  has  been  given  to  articles  of  food  sup- 
ply, with  the  methods  of  preparation  and  use.  Under  this  head  come  the  indigenous  cereals, 
fruits  and  vegetables;  their  cultivation,  irrigation  and  harvesting  and  the  storing  of  crops.  The 
processes  of  raising  and  curing  coffee,  with  pictures  of  machinery  used  for  pulping,  drying  and 
cleaning  the  berries.  The  same  with  sugar.  The  ancient  and  modern  systems  are  fully  illus- 
trated, from  the  primitive  "bull-mills"  in  use  by  the  natives  to  the  great  establishments  of  the 
Island  of  Cuba. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  155 

It  is  well  known  that  these  countries  are  deficient  in  :he  mechanical  arts  and  their  appli- 
cation, and  in  order  to  show  what  they  need  and  what  can  be  supplied  from  the  United  States 
the  various  trades  and  professions  are  presented,  illustrating  the  proficiency  of  the  natives  in 
every  branch.  Education  and  religion  and  the  status  of  the  people  in  these  matters  are  indicated 
by  photographs  of  schools  and  churches,  shrines  and  chapels,  and  articles  used  in  religious 
ceremonials. 

Of  special  value  in  this  connection  are  the  photographs  illustrating  transportation  facilities, 
or  the  lack  of  them,  such  as  native  carts,  trucks,  sillas,  and  vehicles  adapted  to  districts  where 
there  are  no  regular  roads;  also  mule-trains,  llamas,  and  other  native  beasts  of  burden.  Roads 
and  bridges  are  also  illustrated,  ancient  and  modern,  as  well  as  those  improvised  on  the  spur  of 
necessity,  and  the  hammock  bridges  in  the  mountains,  constructed  of  vines  and  cables.  Naviga- 
tion is  represented  by  photographs  of  canoes,  balsas,  etc.,  with  their  equipments.  •  Modern  rail- 
roads and  the  character  of  their  equipment,  tunnels,  viaducts,  and  tramways  and  the  systems  in 
use. 

There  are  many  magnificent  photographs  illustrating  the  physical  features  of  the  coun- 
tries, such  as  the  great  mountains  and  volcanos  of  Popocatepetl,  Ixtaccihuatl,  Chimborazo, 
Acaucagua  and  the  higher  peaks  of  the  Andean  chain,  with  the  rivers,  valleys,  plateaus,  coasts 
and  harbors  Also,  illustrations  of  the  most  notable  examples  of  architecture,  the  cathedrals, 
churches,  theatres,  city  halls,  country  residences  and  plantation  houses. 

Incidentally  the  history  of  the  countries  is  exemplified  by  photographs  of  their  noted  men, 
heroes  of  more  than  local  celebrity  There  are  fac-similes  of  their  declarations  of  independence 
and  historical  papers  relating  to  the  revolutions  that  established  the  autonomy  of  the  different 
republics.  These  portraits  and  fac-similes  are  extremely  valuable.  They  are  for  the  first  time 
presented  and  illustrate  the  two  great  epochs  in  the  history  of  these  countries. 

But  pictorially  and  historically  valuable  as  are  all  these  exhibits,  showing  the  resources  of 
the  Central  and  South  American  States,  their  value  is  enhanced  by  the  fact  that  they  are  in  a 
manner  tributary  to  a  more  practical  presentation,  which  is  known  as  the  commercial  exhibit. 

It  has  long  been  recognized  that  a  great  and  growing  market  for  American  goods  lies  to 
the  south  of  the  United  States,  but  it  is  practically  controlled  by  the  merchants  and  manufactur- 
ers of  Europe.  Owing  to  its  contiguity  to  the  United  States  this  market  should  be  supplied  and 
controlled  by  Americans,  but  such  is  not  the  case.  There  is  hardly  an  article  supplied  to  that 
market  that  could  not  be  sent  quite  as  cheaply  from  the  United  States  as  from  Europe,  and  it  is 
to  indicate  to  American  manufacturers,  merchants  and  shippers  the  vast  possibilities  open  to 
them  in  the  way  of  future  trade  that  this  commercial  exhibit  has  been  brought  together.  For 
this  purpose  the  principal  articles  of  import  into  the  Latin  American  countries  that  are  not  made 
in  the  United  States  are  shown  and  enumerated,  representing  the  classes  of  goods  best  adapted 
to  the  wants  of  the  people  in  every  district;  the  most  popular  patterns  and  styles  of  dress  goods 
and  other  fabrics  for  wearing  apparel,  boots,  shoes,  millinery,  hosiery  and  articles  of  adornment. 
There  is  an  immense  trade  in  these  things,  and  it  has  only  been  obtained  by  catering  to  the  wants 
and  even  the  caprices  of  the  customers. 

A  vast  field  is  open  for.  the  introduction  of  machinery,  agricultural  implements,  steam 
engines,  and  in  fact  everything  that  is  needed  in  the  development  of  a  new  and  unexploited  country. 
The  same  may  be  said  respecting  drugs,  chemicals,  provisions,  china  and  earthenware,  glass 
and  hardware,  jewelry  and  watches,  pianos  and  musical  instruments,  perfumery,  toilet  and 
fancy  goods,  lithographs,  furniture  of  a  class  used  in  tropical  countries,  and  everything  needed 
in  household  furnishing  and  adornment. 

Samples  of  the  goods  and  manufactures  most  in  demand  in  Central  and  South  America  have 
been  obtained  by  purchase  in  their  markets  and  are  exhibited.  A  special  bulletin  of  the -Bureau 
of  the  American  Republics  has  been  prepared  giving  prevailing  prices,  terms  of  payment  and 
every  particular  relating  to  size,  quality  and  character  of  goods,  etc.,  for  the  guidance  of  the 
American  producer.  Of  equal  value  to  the  would-be  shipper  to  this  market  is  the  special 
information  regarding  the  packing  and  shipment  of  goods,  machinery,  etc.,  as  frequently  the  best 
markets  are  far  in  the  interior  and  all  articles  must  be  transported  on  the  backs  of  mules,  llamas 
or  men.  To  make  this  object  lesson  perfect  the  director  of  the  Latin  American  department  has 
had  prepared  complete  models  of  carriers,  and  stuffed  specimens  of  those  animals  employed  as 
beasts  of  burden,  each  one  equipped  with  its  proper  accoutrement  of  pack-saddle,  silla,  etc.,  and 
carrying  an  exact  model  of  the  load  intended  for  it.  These  examples  show  how  goods  should  be 
packed  to  insure  safe  and  proper  transit  over  the  roads  and  trails  of  each  country,  giving  also 
dimensions  and  maximum  weights  permissible,  so  as  to  suit  all  methods  of  local  transportation. 

The  necessary  material  for  the  packing  is  also  given.  Where  the  articles  themseves  could 
not  be  presented  as  samples,  they  are  fully  illustrated  by  the  supplementary  sketches  and  photo- 
graphs, showing  perfectly  their  uses  and  functions. 

Unique  as  a  whole,  picturesque  and  beautiful,  this  collection  in  the  gallery  of  the  state 
department  has  a  practical  bearing  that  will  commend  it  to  every  one  who  is  interested  in  the 
development  of  American  commerce. 

The  recent  International  American  Conference  is  commemorated  by  a  large  frame  con- 
taining photographs  of  all  the  officers  and  delegates,  and  the  flags  of  the  various  nations  which 
participated. 

An  immense  relief  map  of  Mexico,  Central  and  South  America  gives  the  observer  a  bird's- 
eye  view  of  those  continents,  showing  all  the  lines  of  transportation  by  sea  and  land,  and  the  pro- 
posed route  of  the  Inter-Continental  Railway  which  has  been  surveyed  under  the  auspices  of  the 


156  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

United  States  according  to  the  recommendations  of  the  International  American  Conference.  This 
map  has  been  prepared  under  the  supervision  of  the  engineers  engaged  upon  .that  survey,  and 
gives  an  excellent  idea  of  the  line  that  is  to  connect  North,  Central  and  South  America. 

Department  of  the  Interior. — This  Department  is  making  exhibits  from  the  United  States 
Geological  Survey,  the  Bureau  of  Indian  Affairs,  the  Patent  Office,  the  General  Land  Office,  the 
Bureau  of  Education,  the  Census  Office,  the  Yellowstone,  Yosemite  and  Sequoia  National  Parks 
and  the  Territory  of  Alaska.     Briefly  summarized,  the  exhibits  are  as  follows: 

Geological  Survey. — The  Geological  Survey  elucidates  the  geology  of  the  country  and 
represents  its  work  in  both  the  field  and  the  office.  Mineralogy  is  shown  by  specimens  selected 
from  all  quarters,  and  also  rocks  as  an  educational  collection.  Cases  of  American  fossils  are 
arranged  to  show  their  distribution  in  the  United  States  and  their  order  in  the  geological  column. 
In  connection  with  these  are  restorations  of  some  of  the  enormous  fossil  animals  discovered  by- 
Prof.  Marsh.  The  office  work  is  illustrated  by  photographs  and  photographic  transparencies, 
maps  and  drawings.  The  instruments  used  in  the  work  of  the  survey  are  displayed,  together 
with  a  series  of  enlarged  relief  maps,  to  show  the  geology  and  topography  of  the  country.  In 
addition  to  the  collections  having  a  purely  scientific  value,  a  collection  has  been  prepared  to- 
show  the  economic  resources  of  the  United  States,  including  ores  and  minerals  of  commercial 
value,  arranged  so  as  to  illustrate  at  a  glance  the  wealth  of  the -United  States  as  regards  each 
particular  class  of  objects.  ♦ 

Bureau  of  Indian  Affairs. — The  functions  of  the  Indian  Bureau  are  illustrated  by  speci- 
mens of  the  work  of  North  American  Indians,  showing  their  native  industries  as  compared  with 
their  accomplishments  in  the  arts  of  civilization.  The  exhibit  from  this  bureau  shows  the 
civilized  side  of  the  Indian,  portraying  the  educational  work  which  the  government  is  doing.  An 
Indian  school  is  in  operation  in  a  building  erected  for  the  purpose.  The  rooms  and  halls  of  the 
building  are  decorated  with  articles  of  Indian  manufacture,  blankets,  beads,  pottery,  baskets,  etc. 
The  windows  are  filled  with  transparencies  showing  scenes  on  Indian  reservations  and  pictures 
of  Indian  life  and  customs.  In  the  school-rooms  are  specimens  of  penmanship,  drawing,  composi- 
tion and  other  school  room-work,  sent  from  the  various  government  schools.  Indian  art  is  shown 
by  decorations  upon  the  walls,  and  the  work  of  Indian  mechanics  is  represented  in  the  way  of 
specimens  of  harness,  tinware,  carpenter  work,  shoemaking,  farm  products,  etc.  The  main 
interest  of  the  Indian  exhibit  consists  in  the  carrying  on  of  an  Indian  boarding  school,  in  which 
boys  and  girls,  with  their  instructors,  will  live,  study,  recite,  sew,  prepare  meals,  work  at  their 
trades  and  carry  on  all  the  industrial  and  educational  life  and  training  which  pertain  to  a  board- 
ing school  upon  an  Indian  reservation.  The  school  building  has  shops,  school-rooms,  sitting- 
rooms,  dining-room,  kitchen,  dormitories  and  rooms  for  employes.  The  picturesque  and  impres- 
sive side  of  primitive  Indian  life  is  shown  by  presenting  the  living  Indian  in  his  own  habitation 
and  carrying  on  his  own  avocations.  With  this  end  in  view,  several  Indian  families,  represent- 
ing different  tribes,  have  been  located  near  the  Indian  building,  showing  their  customs,  life  and 
occupations  in  their  primitive  and  aboriginal  surroundings. 

Patent  Office. — The  Patent  Office  exhibit  illustrates  the  marvellous  rate  of  progress  in 
invention  of  the  present  age  and  the  fostering  influence  of  the  American  patent  system  in  this 
regard.  There  is  shown  to  inventors  and  mechanics  the  methods,  processes  and  requirements  of 
the  Patent  Office.  The  exhibit  consists  of  groups  of  models  arranged  in  series,  those  in  each  art 
being  arranged  by  themselves,  so  that  the  entire  display  constitutes  an  outline  history  of  the 
development  of  the  useful  arts.  This  exhibit  should  prove  highly  interesting  and  profitable, 
since  the  juxtaposition  of  the  crude  and  imperfect  devices  which  marked  the  inception  of  each 
art,  with  those  showing  the  acme  of  development  now  reached,  illustrates  the  progress  that  has 
been  made,  while  the  presence,  serially  and  chronologically  arranged,  of  the  types  representing 
the  important  intermediary  steps  shows  in  a  graphic  manner  how  the  present  results  have  been 
attained. 

General  Land  Office — The  exhibit  of  the  Land  Office  embraces  maps  and  plats  showing 
the  public  lands,  their  location,  character  products,  etc.,  and  the  timber,  mineral  and  agricultural 
resources  of  the  various  sections  of  the  country.  The  line  of  the  exhibit  is  the  "public  lands'" 
and  the  "public  land  system"  of  the  United  States.  The  exhibit  is  graphic  and  delineatory, 
representing  the  work  of  the  different  divisions  of  the  office.  Placed  before  the  public,  in  an 
attractive  manner,  information  is  given  as  to  the  development  of  the  country  from  its  infancy  to 
the  present  time;  its  growth  by  cession  and  purchase;  the  development  of  the  acquired  territory; 
advancement  in  the  system  of  surveys  adopted  by  the  United  States;  location  of  the  agricultural 
lands  disposed  of  and  in  possession  of  actual  settlers;  agricultural  lands  not  disposed  of;  location 
of  discovered  and  developed  mineral  lands;  lands  segregated  to  railroads;  the  area  of  timber 
and  desert  lands,  etc. 

Bureau  of  Education. — The  Bureau  of  Education  exibits  its  publications,  and  by  suitable 
devices,  the  methods  of  diffusing  information  through  reports  and  correspondence;  its  blank 
forms  of  inquiry  and  other  methods  of  collecting  information,  and  by  figures  and  graphic  devices 
on  charts,  a  digest  of  statistical  information  respecting  all  classes  of  schools  in  the  United  States. 
The  library  and  museum  division  exhibits  the  evolution  of  the  text  book  and  illustrates  the 
character  of  its  various  collections.  Text  books  printed  in  the  earliest  years  of  the  settlement  of 
the  country  are  shown.  An  effort  has  been  made  to  show  the  relative  character  of  American  and 
foreign  text  books.  There  is  also  shown  a  model  library  of  pedagogy  and  general  instruction. 
The  collection  of  books  is  a  model  one  in  every  respect,  classified  and  shelved  according  to  the 
most   improved   system      Finding   lists,  dictionary  and   classified  catalogues,  accession  books,.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  157 

circulation  books,  and  in  fact  every  requirement  of  a  properly  conducted  library  is  shown.  The 
museum  exhibits  the  development  of  the  school-room,  schooL  building  and  grounds,  much  atten- 
tion being  devoted  to  the  arrangement  of  rooms,  heating  apparatus,  ventilation,  sanitation,  etc. 
The  evolution  of  school  furniture  is  exhibited  and  the  development  of  school  apparatus  and 
appliances.  The  objective  method  of  instruction,  as  practiced  in  laboratories  and  kindergarten 
and  manual  training  schools,  is  shown. 

Census  Office. — The  Census  Office  exhibits  the  novel  electrical  tabulating  system  devel- 
oped during  the  taking  of  eleventh  census,  with  skilled  operators  at  work,  and  exhibits  also  a 
series  of  illuminated  charts,  maps  and  diagrams,  showing  the  more  striking  features  of  our 
national  development  and  our  rate  of  progress,  movement  of  population,  population  by  race,  sex, 
nativity,  etc.  Also  the  manufacturing,  mining  and  agricultural  interests  of  the  country  and  other 
•statistics  of  value. 

National  Parks. — From  the  Yellowstone  Park  are  exhibited  various  specimens  of  minerals, 
rocks,  sections  of  the  curious  formations  about  the  geysers  and  of  petrified  trees,  and  many  other 
curiosities  abounding  in  that  well  named  "wonderland."  From  the  Sequoia  Park  is  exhibited  a 
big  tree,  one  of  the  finest  specimens  to  be  found  in  California.  The  section  has  been  erected  in 
the  rotunda  of  the  Government  Building.  From  the  Yosemite  are  shown  large  photographs  of 
some  of  the  most  noted  big  trees  and  of  the  remarkable  scenery  of  that  region. 

Territory  of  Alaska. — From  Alaska  is  exhibited  a  full  collection  showing  the  resources 
-of  that  great  Territory.  There  are  minerals,  fish,  furs,  oils,  timber,  etc.  There  is  also  a  great  col- 
lection of  curios  manufactured  by  the  native  Alaskans. 

U.  S.  Fish  Exhibit. — According  to  the  Act  of  Congress  creating  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment exhibit  the  functions  of  the  fibh  commission  exhibit  have  four  special  branches,  viz:  Inquiry 
respecting  food  fish;  propagation  of  food  fish;  statistics  relating  to  national  fisheries  and  their 
methods,  and  the  live  fish  exhibit  in  the  aquaria.  The  area  given  the  fish  exhibit  in  the  building 
comprises  about  one-sixth  of  the  entire  space.  By  far  the  most  interesting  features  are  the 
various  illustrations  of  the  science  of  fish  farming.  .  Spawn  and  little  fish  in  all  stages  of  de- 
velopment are  shown.  The  statistics  relating  to  government  fisheries  tell  the  visitor  that  at  a 
single  station  on  the  Massachusetts  coast  the  government  hatched  55,000,000  cod  fish  and  20,000,000 
lobsters  last  year.  There  are  government  fishing  stations  and  hatcheries  in  twenty-two  different 
States,  and  these  include  the  great  fresh  water  fish  hatcheries  of  the  interior,  beside  the  sea- 
coast  hatcheries.  The  main  idea  of  the  government  fisheries  exhibit  is  to  illustrate  not  only  the 
methods  of  catching  fish  and  fish  culture  but  the  fisheries  themselves  and  their  management.  In 
the  department  of  fish  culture  there  are  tanks  and  troughs  showing  the  methods  of  hatching 
shad,  pike  and  perch.  These  are  called  rearing  troughs.  Actual  spawn  will  be  used  during  the 
Exposition,  except  possibly  two  months  in  midsummer,  when  natural  eggs  cannot  be  had. 
Artificial  eggs  will  then  be  used.  The  growth  of  the  fish  is  shown  by  means  of  casts  of 
yearlings,  2-year-olds,  3  and  4-year  olds,  etc.  These  casts  are  of  material  which  the  government 
keeps  secret,  and  are  mounted  on  screens.  Another  interesting  portion  of  this  exhibit  comprises 
the  methods  of  taking  eggs  from  the  fish.  There  are  fishermen's  dories  and  full  sized  lay  figures, 
representing  fishermen  in  the  act  of  securing  the  spawn.  There  is  also  a  historical  series  of  fish 
culture  apparatus.  There  are  models  of  complete  fishing  stations  and  rigged  vessels.  Among 
these  models  are  the  trout  station  in  Colorado  and  whitefish  station  at  Put-in-Bay,  the  shad 
station  at  Havre  de  Grace,  Md.,  and  the  cod  station  at  Woodshull,  Mass.  There  is  also  a  com- 
plete series  of  transportation  apparatus,  showing  the  methods  of  transporting  fish  in  cans  or 
l)oxes.  There  is  a  valuable  series  of  charts  showing  the  effects  of  fish  culture  upon  the  different 
^fisheries,  and  a  complete  series  of  photographs  illustrating  the  operations  of  the  United  States 
Fish  Commission.  The  department  of  scientific  inquiry  includes  very  valuable  instruments  for 
taking  deep  sea  soundings.  There  are  splendid  models  of  the  steamers  Albatross  and  Fish 
Hawk,  the  two  principal  government  steamers  engaged  in  the  fisheries.  There  are  nets  which 
are  used  in  bringing  fish  to  the  surface  from  a  depth  of  three  miles  and  more.  Most  interesting 
are  the  specimens  of  animal  life  brought  from  these  vast  recesses  of  the  ocean.  Intricate 
machinery  for  winding  deep  sea  nets,  charts,  maps  and  a  library  of  fish  literature  go  to  make  up 
a  marvelous  exhibit.  There  are  corals,  sea  plants  and  sponges  taken  in  these  deep  sea  sound- 
ings. There  is  also  a  model  of  engines  used  in  the  submarine  cable  survey.  In  the  department 
illustrating  commercial  fisheries  there  are  papier-mache  casts  of  large  marine  animals,  including 
a  little  whale,  grampus,  porpoise,  sturgeon,  a  twelve-foot  halibut  and  sharks.  There  are  hundreds 
of  these  casts,  giving  a  comprehensive  idea  of  the  extent  and  variety  of  government  fisheries. 
There  are  models  of  vessels  and  boats  used  in  the  fisheries,  some  being  remarkably  handsome. 
The  development  of  fishing  craft,  from  Indian  canoes  and  dug-outs  to  the  modern  whalers  and 
oyster  boats,  are  freely  shown.  Then  there  are  full-sized  sealing  and  whaling  boats,  equipped 
with  all  the  apparatus  used  in  actual  work.  There  is  a  life-sized  group  of  hair  seals  and  another 
of  fur  seals.  There  is  a  ten-foot  horse  mackerel.  Up  by  the  gallery  there  are  lay  figures,  one 
being  a  man  in  the  act  of  harpooning  a  whale  and  another  representing  a  man  in  the  rigging 
looking  out  for  whales.  There  is  a  figure  of  a  negro  fisherman  and  another  of  a  Chesapeake 
bay  fisherman.  There  are  models  of  the  splendid  fishway  on  the  Potomac,  where  fish  swim  up 
stream  and  falls  without  effort.  There  are  fish  traps,  nets  and  seines  in  great  profusion  and  a 
special  exhibit  of  the  Alaska  fisheries.  There  is  a  cage  of  birds  which  subsist  on  fish.  One  cor- 
jier  of  the  exhibit  is  devoted  to  anglers  and  their  appliances.  There  are  lay  figures  representing 
various  angling  scenes. 


158  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

[For  description  of  the  exhibit  of  the  United  States  Fish  Commission  in  the  Fisheries  Build- 
ing, see  "Department  D — Fish  and  Fisheries."] 

Colonial  Exhibit. — The  Colonial  exhibit  is  made  in  the  United  States  Government  Build- 
ing. Mrs.  Ralph  Trautman,  of  New  York  City,  Mrs.  Sallie  Cotton,  of  North  Carolina,  and  Mrs. 
George  Wilson  Kidder,  of  Wilmington,  N.  C,  formed  the  committee  from  the  Board  of  Lady 
Managers  to  obtain  space  for  the  display  in  the  Government  Building.  The  committee  was 
assisted  by  Mrs.  Gillespie,  of  Philadelphia,  a  great  granddaughter  of  Benjamin  Franklin,  who 
was  President  of  the  women's  section  of  the  Centennial.  These  ladies  personally  secured  the  aid 
of  President  Cleveland  and  the  Cabinet  officers,  and  secured  space  for  their  exhibit  in  the  dome 
of  the  building.  One  of  the  conditions  made  by  Secretary  Gresham  when  he  endorsed  the  proj- 
ect was  that  each  item  of  the  display  should  have  historic  value  as  well  as  personal  interest.  The 
Board  of  Lady  Managers  installed  the  Colonial  exhibit  in  six  of  the  arches  of  the  dome.  The  two- 
remaining  arches  are  occupied  by  the  Declaration  of  Independence  and  the  original  Constitution 
of  the  thirteen  original  States.  No  two  objects  within  the  Exposition  attract  more  attention  than 
these,  nor  are  more  closely  guarded,  consequently  the  owners  of  the  colonial  relics  may  feel  par- 
ticularly assured  that  their  treasures  are  under  the  government's  protection.  The  six  arches  are 
equally  proportioned  among  the  thirteen  original  States  participating  in  the  Colonial  exhibit,  their 
respective  flags  and  State  coat-of-arms  indicating  the  location  of  each.  North  Carolina  made 
liberal  provision  for  her  participation  in  the  exhibit,  and  New  York  appropriated  $10,000  to  her 
share.     Massachusetts  also  takes  active  participation  in  this  exhibit. 

United  States  Weather  Bureau. — This  building  stands  northeast  of  the  Government  Build- 
ing. It  is  a  wooden  structure,  covered  with  cement  to  resemble  cut  stone,  and  is  two  stories  with 
tower.  In  size  it  is  40x50  feet.  The  first  floor  is  used  for  meteorological  apparatus  and  the  print- 
ing of  weather  maps.  The  second  floor  is  used  for  a  hall,  one  end  having  a  platform  from  which 
is  given  stereoptican  views  and  lectures  on  meteorological  subjects  and  the  forecasting  of  the 
weather.  The  tower  is  used  for  observation  and  meteorological  instruments.  Cost  of  building, 
$5,965. 

Life  Saving  Station. — Located  on  the  edge  of  the  north  pond,  to  the  east  of  the  Illinois 
State  Building,  is  the  Life  Saving  Station,  which  is  equipped  with  every  appliance,  and  a  regular 
crew  goes  through  all  life  saving  manceuvers.  The  station  consists  of  a  one  and  one-half  story  frame 
building,  67x35  feet,  with  covering  of  shingles  and  clapboards.  The  gables  are  treated  with  over- 
hanging ends.  A  portion  of  the  roof  is  truncated,  protected  by  a  hand  railing,  forming  a  lookout 
deck,  which  connects  with  a  small  rectangular  watch  tower.  The  general  treatment  is  Colonial. 
The  structure  combines  a  dwelling  for  the  crew  together  with  a  boat  and  apparatus  room.  The 
dwelling  portion  is  surrounded  by  a  broad  uncovered  platform  with  railing.  On  the  east  side  is 
the  entrance  porch.  The  dwelling  contains,  on  first  floor,  four  living  rooms,  also  hall,  entry,  pan- 
try, closets,  etc.  Above  are  sleeping  quarters  for  the  crew,  spare-room,  clothes-room,  storage, 
lavatory,  etc.  A  circular  iron  staircase,  from  the  second  floor,  leads  to  the  watch  tower  and  look- 
out deck.  The  boat-room  is  on  the  first  floor,  37  feet  6  inches  by  34  feet  2  inches,  fitted  with 
closets,  and  arranged  to  accommodate  two  or  more  life  boats,  together  with  the  complete  appa- 
ratus used  for  life  saving  purposes.  On  the  west  side  the  boat-room  connects  with  the  water  by 
a  launchway.  The  boats,  with  crews  aboard,  run  by  gravity  to  take  the  water.  As  this  is  a  per- 
manent station  for  the  United  States  Life-saving  Service,  and  will  so  remain  after  the  closing  of 
the  Exposition,  utility  has  been  considered  more  than  mere  ornamentation  in  the  general  design- 
Its  cost,  exclusive  of  apparatus  and  furnishings,  was  $10,000. 

Lighthouse  Exhibit. — The  exhibit  made  by  the  United  States  Lighthouse  Board  is  the 
tower  constructed  for  the  Waackaack  lighthouse,  New  Jersey.  It  is  located  on  the  north  pond, 
directly  north  of  the  Fisheries  Building.  It  is  an  iron  skeleton  structure,  surmounted  by  a  para- 
pet and  a  lantern,  accessible  from  below  by  a  spiral  stairway  inclosed  in  a  cast-iron  cylinder. 
The  skeleton  structure,  which  rests  upon  eight  circular  foundation  disks  anchored  to  a  concrete 
foundation,  is  composed  of  columns,  sockets,  struts  and  tension-rods,  forming  a  frustum  of  a 
square  pyramid,  bounded  on  top  by  an  architrave  supporting  an  octagonal  g;allery,  a  circular 
parapet  and  a  decagonal  lantern.  The  frustum  has  a  base  28  feet  square;  its  height  is  84  feet  to 
the  lower  face  of  the  architrave,  where  its  sides  form  a  square  of  8  feet  8  inches  on  each  side. 

United  States  Government  Board  of  Management  and  Control. — This  board  is  authorized 
by  Section  16  of  the  Act  of  April  25,  1890,  and  consists  of  one  representative  from  each  executive 
department,  from  the  Smithsonian  Institution  and  National  Museum,  and  from  i-h.e  Fish  Commis- 
sion. The  chairman  of  the  board  is  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  Unted  States  and  the 
board  itself  is  given  authority  to  select  such  other  officers  as  it  may  deem  necessary.  The  mem- 
bers of  this  board  serve  without  compensation  other  than  their  regular  pay  as  government  offi- 
cials.

Oeeicials. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  COMMISSION. 


THIS  body  is  known  by  the  title  of  the  "World's  Columbian  Commission,"  as  designated  by 
the  Act  of  Congress,  approved  April  25, 1890,  and  as  set  forth  in  the  by-laws.  The  Com- 
mission has  an  Official  seal,  circular  in  form,  with  the  following  devices  thereon.  Around 
the  margin  of  the  words: 

"  World's  Columbian  Commission,  created  by  Act  of  Congress  of  the  United  States  of  America,  organized 
1890  " 

In  the  center  a  vignette  composed  as  follows: 

In  the  top  of  the  circle  the  eagle,  copied  from  our  National  coat  of  arms,  perched  upon  the 
figure  of  a  globe,  and  below  it  a  section  of  the  well-known  picture  of  the  landing  of  Columbus, 
showing  the  prow  of  the  boat. 

National  Commissioners. — Two  from  each  State  and.  Territory,  provided  for  by  the  Act  of 
Congress  creating  the  World's  Columbian  Commission;  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  United 
States,  on  the  nomination  of  the  Governors  of  the  States  and  Territories,  respectively;  also  two 
Alternate  Commissioners  appointed  in  the  same  manner  and  within  the  same  time;  also  eight 
Commissioners-at-Large  and  two  from  the  District  of  Columbia,  appointed  by  the  President  of 
the  United  States,  and  the  same  number  of  Alternate  Commissioners,  appointed  in  the  same 
manner  and  within  the  same  time.  In  the  nominations  and  appointments  each  of  the  two  leading 
political  parties  (Democratic  and  Republican),  were  equally  represented.  Vacancies  in  the  Com- 
mission nominated  by  the  Governors  of  the  several  States  and  Territories,  respectively,  and  also 
vacancies  in  the  Commission-at-Large  and  from  the  District  of  Columbia  may  be  filled  in  the 
same  manner  and  under  the  same  conditions  as  provided  for  their  original  appointment. 
Immediately  after  the  passage  of  the  Act,  the  Secretary  of  State  of  the  United  States  notified  the 
Governors  of  the  several  States  and  Territories,  respectively,  thereof  and  requested  such  nomina- 
tions to  be  made.  The  Commissioners  so  appointed  were  called  together  by  the  Secretary  of 
State  of  the  United  States  in  the  City  of  Chicago,  by  notice  to  the  Commissioners,  within  thirty 
days  after  their  appointment.  The  Commissioners,  at  the  first  meeting,  organized  by  the  election 
of  such  officers  and  the  appointment  of  such  Committees  as  they  deemed  expedient. 

The  duties,  powers  and  compensation  of  the  Commission  were  set  forth  in  Sections,  of  the 
Act  as  follows:  • 

That  said  Commission  be  empowered  in  its  discretion  to  accept  for  the  purposes  of  the  World's  Columbian 
Exposition  such  site  as  may  be  selected  and  offered  and  such  plans  and  specifications  of  buildings  to  be  erected  for 
6uch  purpose  at  the  expense  of  and  tendered  by  the  corporation  organized  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Illinois, 
known  as  "  The  World's  Exposition  of  eighteen  hundred  and  ninety-two:"  Provided,  That  said  site  so  tendered  and 
the  buildings  proposed  to  be  erected  thereon  shall  be  deemed  by  said  C<  mmission  adequate  to  the  purposes  of  said 
Exposition:  And  Provided,  That  said  Commission  shall  be  satisfied  that  the  said  corporation  has  an  actual  bona 
fide  and  valid  subscription  to  its  capital  stock  which  will  secure  the  payment  of  at  least  five  millions  of  dollars,  of 
which  not  less  that  five  hundred  thousand  dollars  shall  have  been  paid  in,  and  that  the  further  sum  of  five  million

Special  Agent  Foreign  Exhibits — As  an  attache  of  the  Director-General's  office,  the 
special  agent  has  the  arrangement  of  the  installation  of  foreign  exhibits. 

Commissioner-at-Large.— In  the  fall  of  1891,  the  Exposition  company  sent  a  commission 
(presided  over  by  the  commissioner-at-large),  to  southern  Europe.  Up  to  that  time  neither  the 
people  nor  the  rulers  in  that  region  of  the  world  had  manifested  the  slightest  interest  in  the 
Exposition,  but  the  commissioners  appealed  to  both  the  potentates  and  the  people,  informing 
them  fully  of  the  stupendous  undertaking  in  which  this  nation  had  embarked,  and  after  some 
five  months  so  spent  in  industriously  disseminating  all  the  information  available,  the  most 
gratifying  change  of  sentiment  occurred  and  the  liveliest  interest  was  inspired.  Not  only  did 
kings  and  queens  respond  most   encouragingly  (speaking  alternately  in  French  and  German,  as

COMMISSIONER-AT-LARGE,   WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  COMMISSION.

they  had  been  addressed),  but  the  Pope,  also  acknowledging  that  he  was  surprised  to  learn  of  the 
grand  scale  of  the  international  Exposition,  promised  to  contribute  generously  to  its  success  and 
did  so  first  by  his  cordial  letter  to  Commissioner-at-Large  Bryan  (translated  and  circulated  in 
many  lands),  and  next  by  contributing  treasures  never  before  permitted  to  leave  the  Vatican. 
The  commissioner-at-large  has,  since  that  European  mission,  been  incessantly  occupied  in 
conducting  correspondence,  and  in  multifold  office  work,  delivering  lectures  and  otherwise 
advancing  the  interests  of  the  Exposition.  It  is  expected  that  he  will  be  unintermittingly  occu- 
pied during  the  Exposition  in  communicating  with  and  aiding  foreign  exhibitors,  especially  those 
not  familiar  with  our  language;  also  in  helping  the  Directoi -General  and  other  officers  receive 
visitors,  including  the  thousands  of  distinguished  guests  and  attendants  upon  the  World's  Con- 
gresses. 

[Thomas  B.  Bryan  was  born  December  22,  1828,  in  Alexandria,  Va.  His  father,  Hon  Daniel 
Bryan,  was  a  prominent  man  in  Virginia.  He  represented  his  district  in  the  State  Senate,  besides 
holding  other  important  positions.  James  and  Philip  Barbour,  his  mother's  brothers,  served  in 
the  highest  offices  of  the  State,  in  the  United  States  Senate,  United  States  Supreme  Court,  and  in 
the  Cabinet  as  Secretary  of  War.  Air.  Bryan  was  graduated  at  Harvard  University  in  1848. 
While  pursuing  his  college  studies  he  wrote  a  book  in  the  German  language,  the  aim  of  which 
was  to  make  it  easy  for  Germans  to  acquire  the  English  language.  Many  editions  have  been 
sold,  it  being  pronounced  an  excellent  work.  He  is  also  familiar  with  the  French,  conversing 
quite  fluently  in  that  tongue.  Mr.  Bryan  married  early  in  life  Miss  Jennie  B.  Page,  daughter 
of  an  Episcopal  clergyman.  She  is  spoken  of  as  a  most  gentle;  accomplished  and  excellent  lady. 
Their  wedded  life,  which  has  already  passed  the  fortieth  anniversary,  is  very  harmonious.  After 
several  years'  successful  practice  of  his  profession  in  Cincinnati,  in  partnership  with  Judge  Hart, 
Mr.  Bryan  came  to  Chicago  in  1852,  wmere  he  has  been  engaged  in  business  up  to  the  present 
time,  with  the  exception  of  three  years  in  Colorado,  and  during  his  governorship  of  the  District 
of  Columbia.  Although  Mr.  Bryan  is  a  very  energetic  man  he  is  not  ambitious.  He  has  occupied 
many  prominent  positions  writh  great  credit  to  himself,  and  if  he  had  been  more  eager  for  fame 
or  political  power,  he  might  have  been  a  leading  orator,  statesman  or  diplomat.  After  the  death 
of  Bayard  Taylor,  Mr.  Bryan  was  strongly  recommended  for  his  successor  as  ambassador  to 
Germany,  the  leading  newspapers  of  the  United  States  uniting  in  the  recommendation.  But, 
when  Andrew  D.  White,  of  Cornell  University,  was  mentioned  for  the  position,  Mr.  Bryan  encour- 
aged the  appointment,  gracefully  retiring  from  the  field.  Mr.  Bryan,  as  vice-president  of  the 
World's  Columbian  Exposition,  addressed  conventions  in  many  or  the  States,  besides  visiting 
Europe,  where  he  succeeded  in  overcoming  strong  prejudices  against  the  Exposition,  and  in 
arousing  latent  forces  in  its  behalf.  After  his  successful  effoits  at  Washington  he  gained  another 
great  victory  in  the  effort  to  get  the  consent  of  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  Illinois  to  authorize 
the  city  of  Chicago  to  issue  §5,000,000  in  bonds  for  the  benefit  of  the  Fair.  He  was  afterward 
appointed  commissioner-at-large.  Mr.  Bryan  is  a  sound  lawyer,  being  a  close  student  in  his  pro- 
fession, and,  as  a  convincing  speaker,  unusually  gifted.  His  impromptu  banquet  speeches  are 
always  received  with  great  applause,  especially  when  a  bit  of  humor,  or  an  apt  quotation,  is  sand- 
wiched between  more  sober  thoughts.^

weight  of  responsibility  in  the  prominent  Department  of  Mines,  Mining  and  Metallurgy.  Both  in  the 
long  campaign  for  exhibits,  as  well  as  in  the  laborious  task  of  installation,  he  has,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  chief,  conducted  an  extensive  correspondence,  managed  the  details  and  routine  busi- 
ness, and  acted  as  general  aid.  In  a  special  line  of  work  he  has  been  given  charge  of  the  exhibit 
illustrating  the  Industry  of.  Metallurgy  and  has  directed  the  formation  and  arrangement  of  the 
display.  During  the  progress  of  the  Exposition,  in  conjunction  with  the  other  officials  of  the 
staff,  he  will  attend  to  the  many  requirements  of  exhibitors,  tender  the  hospitalities  of  the 
department  to  the  distinguished  associations  and  personages  making  the  Mining  Building  their 
headquarters,  and  gather  material  for  the  descriptive  and  statistical  report  to  be  made  by  the 
department  at  the  close  of  the  Exposition. 

Machinery. — The  duties  of  the  chief  of  this  department  are  an  exercise  of  control  and  man- 
agement of  the  Machinery  Building  and  Annex  and  the  exhibits  therein.  Soon  after  his  appoint- 
ment he  placed  himself  in  communication  with  the  manufacturers  of  machinery  throughout  the 
United  States,  opening  correspondence  with  them  with  a  view  of  getting  applications,  which  he 
did  through  the  scientific  and  engineering  societies  and  also  by  sending  out  circulars  in  reference 
to  the  exhibit  of  machinery.  By  that  means  he  was  brought  in  contact  with  about  2,000  machin- 
ery builders.  Invitation  of  an  exhibit  of  machinery  from  other  countries  was  made  through  the 
means  of  the  representatives  of  foreign  nations. 

Transportation  Exhibits. — The  chief  has  charge  of  the  department  and  buildings  placed 
at  the  disposal  of  transportation  exhibits,  and  that  includes  all  exhibits  relating  in  any  way  to 
the  science  of  transportation,  showing  the  development  of  it,  and  divided  into  railroads,  vehicles 
and  marine  transportation. 

Manufactures. — This  department  was  organized  July  21,  1891,  and  in  accordance  with 
instructions  from  the  Director-General  the  Chief  of  the  Department  at  once  began  his  work.  In 
a  short  time  upward  of  30,000  pieces  of  mail  matter  were  sent  out  to  every  prominent  industry  and 
manufacturer,  trade  journal,  organizations  and  commercial  body  throughout  the  United   States 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  165 

and  to  many  foreign  countries,  giving  information  to  intending  exhibitors,  anticipating  one  of  the 
most  complete  exhibitions  of  manufactured  products  eve/  presented  to  the  world.  The  chief  has 
general  supervision  and  control  over  the  exhibits  in  that  part  of  the  Manufactures  Building  not 
occupied  by  the  Department  of  Liberal  Arts;  also  of  the  Shoe  and  Leather  Building  and  exhibits. 
Electricity. — The  chief  of  this  department  has  the  general  management  and  control  of  the 
exhibits  of  electric  appliances  and  apparatus.     In  this  department  is  also  an  assistant  chief. 

Fine  Arts. — The  chief  of  this  department,  soon  after  his  appointment,  visited  most  of  the 
countries  of  Europe  and  conferred  with  the  government  authorities  and  directors  of  art  museums, 
schools,  etc.,  and  with  the  leading  artists  of  this  country,  resulting  in  the  formation  of  art  com- 
missions which  have  charge  of  arts  of  the  various  countries.  The  chief  has  general  supervision 
and  control  over  the  Fine  Arts  Building  and  exhibits. 

Assistant  Chief  Fine  Arts. — This  official's  duties  have  consisted  in  t  cooperating  with 
the  chief  of  the  department  in  every  possible  way  in  the  direction  of  securing  exhibits  of 
the  highest  degree  of  excellence  from  the  various  art-producing  countries  of  the  world, 
and  in  installing  the  exhibits  received .  in  the  manner  deemed  most  effective  and  just  to 
artists  and  visitors  to  the  Exposition.  He  has  been  connected  with  the  department  since  August, 
1891.  With  the  chief  of  the  department  he  visited  England,  France,  Holland  and  Belgium,  and 
assisted  in  the  work  of  interesting  artists  and  officials  in  those  countries.  Later,  he  returned  to 
America  and  conducted  the  affairs  of  the  department  here  during  the  protracted  absence  of 
Chief  Ives  in  Europe.  He  spent  several  months,  at  various  times,  in  New  York,  in  organizing 
the  exhibit  of  American  artists. 

Liberal  Arts. — The  chief  of  this  department  has  general  charge  and  supervision  of  exhibits 
pertaining  to  education,  hygiene,  sanitation  and  medical  and  surgical  instruments;  all  matters  of 
literature,  books,  physical  apparatus;  religious  and  social  organizations;  matters  pertaining  to 
government  and  law;  of  commerce  and  banking;  music  and  instruments  of  music;  civil  engi- 
neering architecture. 

Ethnology. — The  chief  of  this  department  has  general  charge  and  supervision  of  isolated 
and  collective  exhibits  of  ethnology,  archaeology  and  of  the  progress  of  labor  and  invention  in 
the  Anthropological  Building. 

Assistant  Chief  Ethnology. — Mr.  Franz  Boas  has  been  connected  with  the  Department  of 
Ethnology  the  pabt  two  years  as  assistant  to  the  chief,  in  charge  of  the  section  of  physical 
anthropology,  and  will  remain  in  that  department  during  the  Exposition. 

Foreign  Affairs. — While  it  has  been  the  duty  of  the  chief  of  this  department  to  lighten  the 
labors  of  the  Director  General  and  assist  co-workers  of  the  various  departments  in  everything 
connected  with  the  representation  of  foreign  countries,  it  has  also  been  his  task  to  minister  to  the 
wants  of  the  foreign  ministers  themselves,  furnishing  them  with  all  requisite  information  and 
welcoming  them  with  the  cordiality  shared  by  the  whole  community.  To  accomplish  a  satis- 
factory representation  from  abroad  a  regular  and  systematic  correspondence  was  established,  which 
extended  throughout  the  habitable  globe,  and  embraced  names  distinguished  in  science,  litera- 
ture, art  and  commerce.  The  work  was  entirely  abroad,  and  agents  were  sent  to  London,  Rome, 
Mexico,  South  America  and  other  foreign  countries  to  seek  general  exhibits.  The  chief's  present 
duties  consist  of  correspondence  with  any  foreign  agents  or  exhibitors,  or  representatives  in 
charge,  and  doing  all  that  pertains  to  foreign  matters  looking  to  the  closing  of  affairs. 

Secretary  Foreign  Affairs. — Richard  Lee  Fearn,  the  Secretary  of  the  Department  of 
Foreign  Affairs,  came  to  Chicago  thoroughly  equipped  for  the  work  required  of  him  by  reason  of 
long  experience  as  a  Washington  newspaper  correspondent.  Although  scarcely  over  thirty  years 
of  age  he  has,  in  the  opinion  of  the  principal  officials  of  the  Exposition,  creditably  discharged  the 
responsibilities  which  have  devolved  upon  him  on  a  number  of  occasions  when  his  brother,  the 
chief  of  the  department,  has  been  called  away  from  his  desk,  often  for  weeks  at  a  time.  The 
attractive  circulars  of  information  of  the  department,  which  contributed  so  much  to  making  the 
plan  of  the  Exposition  understood  abroad,  as  well  as  the  official  labels  which  were  attached  to 
every  exhibit  which  has  been  brought  into  the  Exposition  grounds,  were  of  his  design  and  execu- 
tion, but  his  unflagging  industry  has  principally  been  directed  to  the  routine  details  of  the  depart- 
ment and  to  answering  the  innumerable  questions  of  visitors  which  might  otherwise  have  absorbed 
the  entire  time  of  his  chief. 

Assistant  Secretary. — Mr.  S.  Chapman  Simms  has  filled  the  position  of  assistant  secre- 
tary of  the  Department  of  Foreign  affairs  since  the  organization  of  the  department.  His  duties 
are  to  look  after  the  correspondence,  code  of  cables  and  the  general  care  of  foreign  commis- 
sioners on  their  arrival  at  the  Exposition. 

Interpreter. — Lieut.  Fletcher  S.  Bassett,  United  States  Navy,  retired,  has  been  with  the 
department  only  a  short  while,  but  has  proven  himself  a  valuable  assistant.  He  converses 
fluently  in  French,  German,  Italian,  Spanish,  and  translates  other  languages. 

Latin-American  Bureau. — The  Latin-American  department  was  organized  by  William  E. 
Curtis,  Chief  of  the  Bureau  of  the  American  Republics,  at  Washington,  in  the  summer  of  1890, 
under  the  direction  of  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Exhibits  of  the  Exposition,  of  which  Mr.  Wil- 
liam T.  Baker  was  chairman.  Through  the  influence  of  the  latter  gentleman  an  appropriation  of 
$100,000  was  made  to  promote  the  intei'ests  of  the  Exposition  in  the  countries  of  Latin-America, 
although  only  a  portion  of  that  sum  was  expended.  At  the  request  of  Mr.  Baker  the  President 
of  the  United  States  detailed  army  and  navy  officers  to  act  as  commissioners  for  the  Exposition 
to  the  Latin-American  countries.     Lieut.  A.  C.  Baker,  U.  S.  N.,  was  sent  to  Mexico:  Lieut.  George

P.  Scriven,  U.  S.  A.,  and  Capt.  Gilbert  P.  Cotton,  U.  S.  A.,  to  Central  America.  Lieut.  H.  R. 
Lemlv,  U.  S.  A.,  to  Colombia;  Lieut.  Roger  Welles,  Jr.,  U.  S.  N.,  to  Venezuela  and  the  Guiana 
Colonies;  Captain  Alexander  Rodgers,  U.  S.  A.,  to  Brazil;  Dr.  D.  N.  Bertolette,  U.  S.  N.,  to  Para- 
guay, Uruguay  and  the  Argentine  Republic;  Lieut. C.  H.  Harlow,  U.  S.  N.,  to  Chile;  Lieut  W.  E. 
Safford,  U.  S.  N.,  to  Peru  and  Bolivia;  Willard  P.  Tisdel,  Esq.,  to  Ecuador,  and  Fred.  A.  Ober, 
Esq.,  to  the  West  Indie?.  Mr.  Tisdel  was  afterward  made  a  general  commissioner  to  the  coun- 
tries of  South  America.  Mr.  E.  D.York  was  appointed  as  assistant  in  the  office  at  Washington. 
These  commissioners  remained  in  the  countries  to  which  they  were  assigned,  promoting  the 
interests  of  the  Exposition,  for  a  year  or  more,  and  then  returned  to  continue  their  work  at  Chi- 
cago. Upon  the  organization  of  the  Department  of  Foreign  Affairs  the  Latin-American  Bureau 
was  placed  under  its  jurisdiction,  and  Lieut.  Roger  Welles,  Jr.,  wras  detailed  to  take  charge  of  the 
office  in  Chicago,  Mr.  Curtis  continuing  the  work  in  Washington.  In  the  spring  of  1893  the 
Bureau  was  removed  to  Chicago.  Mr.  Ober,  the  commissioner  to  the  West  Indies,  in  addition  to 
his  propaganda  in  behalf  of  the  Exposition,  was  instructed  to  follow  the  track  of  Columbus 
through  the  West  Indies,  and  the  collection  of  historical  relics  and  antiquities  in  the  Monastery 
of  La  Rabida  is  largely  due  to  his  efforts. 

Publicity  and  Promotion. — The  chief  of  this  department  has  several  functions.  Primarily 
and  in  public  estimation  the  department  is  a  press  bureau,  but  it  is  not  simply  that.  As  indicated 
by  the  title  it  involves  the  general  methods  of  promotion,  not  only  as  to  the  press,  but  to  other 
accounts.  It  is  divided  into  two  parts:  publicity  as  affected  by  relation  to  and  through  the  press, 
and  publicity  and  promotion  as  affected  through  other  channels.  Advertising  through  litho- 
graphs, pamphlets,  books,  news  slips,  the  furnishing  of  news  to  newspapers  and  all  classes  of 
press  associations;  also  advertising  through  posters  and  circulars  and  other  methods.  Early  in  the 
work  letters  and  news  items  were  sent  to  newspapers  and  magazines  all  over  the  world  containing 
facts  in  regard  to  the  Exposition  interesting  enough  to  be  printed  without  pay,  and  that  work  has 
been  kept  up.  Beside  provision  was  made  for  furnishing  news  of  the  Exposition  to  every  news- 
paper of  the  local  press,  the  Associated  Press,  United  Press,  or  any  paper  having  a  resident  cor- 
respondent, a  room  having  been  specially  set  apart  for  that  purpose,  where  each  day  the  news 
was  put  on  labeled  hooks  for  the  respective  newspapers  and  press  associations.  In  another  room 
was  kept  a  general  bureau  of  information  of  the  Exposition.  All  office  supplies,  such  as  station- 
ery, pens,  pencils,  writing  paper,  etc.,  comes  through  this  department.  An  important  branch  of 
the  work  of  this  department  was  entered  upon  late  in  January,  when  regulations  for  the  publica- 
tion of  the  official  catalogue  were  promulgated,  and  the  work  of  collecting  the  material  and  pre- 
paring it  for  publication  was  placed  in  the  chief's  hands.  Nearly  all  the  kinds  of  work  done  in 
the  past  will  be  kept  up  during  the  Exposition  period.  The  chief  of  this  department  has  charge 
of  all  arrangements  for  looking  after  members  of  the  press.  Newspaper  headquarters  are  in  the 
Administration  Building.  Three  floors  of  the  northwest  pavilion  have  been  reserved  for  this  pur- 
pose. One  for  the  department  offices,  one  for  the  local  press,  and  one  for  press  associations, 
foreign  newspapers  and  file  rooms.  It  is  impossible  to  give  separate  rooms  even  to  the  leading 
newspapers  of  the  country,  but  desk  room  is  abundant,  typewriting  machines  are  at  hand,  and 
there  are  separate  rooms  for  those  great  newspapers  of  Chicago  and  other  cities  which  have  reg- 
ular staffs  on  duty.  In  regard  to  the  extension  of  courtesies  to  newspaper  men  the  department 
has  recommended  that  a  most  liberal  policy  be  adopted.  This  contemplates  the  issue  of  three 
kinds  of  tickets  of  free  admission  on  account  of  the  press;  first  a  complimentary  engraved  invi- 
tation for  journalists  of  distinction  and  the  editors  of  the  great  newspapers  of  the  world;  second, 
season  or  term  tickets  for  men  who  come  here  to  work;  and  third,  single.admissions  for  transient 
visitors.  It  is  as  much  to  the  interest  of  the  press  as  of  the  Exposition  that  these  privileges  shall 
not  be  abused,  and  care  therefore  is  taken  not  to  extend  such  courtesies  to  any  persons  not  fully 
accredited  and  identified.  In  this  department  there  is  a  large  staff  of  editorial  writers  and  trans- 
lators, besides  other  employes. 

Chief  Clerk  of  Publicity  and  Promotion.— James  P.  Holland,  chief  clerk  of  the  department 
and  superintendent  of  the  Bureau  of  Information,  is  a  journalist,  having  been  connected  with  the 
Chicago  press  for  several  years.  When  Major  Handy  was  appointed  chief  of  the  department  in 
December,  1891,  Mr.  Holland  was  the  first  member  of  his  staff  secured.  In  the  subsequent  organ- 
ization of  the  department,  more  especially  in  regard  to  the  details  on  which  the  department  had 
worked,  the  chief  has  been  assisted  materially  by  the  chief  clerk.  In  the  early  days  of  the 
department  many  of  the  descriptive  news  letters  which  found  wide  publicity  through  the  press 
were  prepared  by  Mr.  Holland,  but  as  the  work  of  the  department  developed  his  time  became 
fully  occupied  with  executive  duty  in  his  capacity  as  chief  clerk.  During  the  six  months 
immediately  preceding  the  opening  of  the  Exposition  when  the  work  of  the  department 
multiplied  in  every  direction,  Mr.  Holland  has  had  many  demands  made  upon  his  time. 
His  unfailing  courtesy  to  one  and  all,  in  the  face  of  the  most  trying  ciicumstances,  has 
become  proverbial  among  all  departments  of  the  Exposition,  and  he  seems  to  be  looked  upon,  not 
only  in  the  light  of  superintendent  of  the  Bureau  of  Information  but  as  an  encyclopaedia  of 
Exposition  matters. 


HARLOW  N.  HIGINBOTHAM, 

PRESIDENT   WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN   EXPOSITION. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  167 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN   EXPOSITION. 


The  World's  Columbian  Exposition  is  a  corporation  organized  and  existing  under  the  laws 
of  the  State  of  Illinois  (licensed  April  9,  1880),  its  object  being  "The  holding  of  an  International 
Exposition  or  World's  Fair  in  the  city  of  Chicago,  in  the  State  of  Illinois,  to  commemorate  on  its 
four  hundredth  anniversary  the  discovery  of  America."  The  capital  stock  of  the  Exposition  is 
$10,000,000,  of  which  16,000,000  is  subscribed,  the  stockholders  numbering  over  30,000,  nearly  all 
of  whom  are  residents  of  the  city  of  Chicago. 

The  government  and  control  of  the  corporation  is  vested  in  a  board  of  forty-five  directors, 
chosen  annually  at  the  meeting  of  the  stockholders. 

The  Act  of  Congress  providing  for  the  Exposition  required  the  corporation  to  prepare  the 
plans  for  the  Exposition,  and  the  rules  and  regulations  governing  rates  of  entrance,  admission 
fees,  and  otherwise  affecting  the  rights,  privileges  and  interests  of  exhibitors  or  the  public,  sub- 
ject to  modification  by  a  majority  of  the  members  of  the  World's  Columbian  Commission. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  act  as  above  mentioned,  it  has  been  the  province  of  the  corporation 
to  select  a  site  for  the  Exposition,  prepare  plans  and  specifications  for  the  same,  construct  the 
buildings  and  prepare  the  grounds  in  a  manner  suitable  for  the  holding  of  an  International 
Exposition. 

In  addition  to  the  above  duties,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Exposition,  under  an  agree- 
ment with  the  World's  Columbian  Commission,  adopted  by  both  bodies  in  November,  1890,  sup- 
plies the  necessary  funds  for  carrying  on  the  fifteen  great  departments  under  the  Director-Gen- 
eral, and  exercises  supervision  over  said  departments  with  a  view  to  ascertaining  that  the  funds 
so  provided  are  properly  and  judiciously  expended  for  the  purposes  of  the  Exposition.  For  the 
purpose  of  carrying  on  its  business  the  Board  of  Directors  elects  each  year  a  president,  two  vice- 
presidents,  secretary,  treasurer  and  auditor,  and  certain  committees,  as  enumerated  below,  are 
appointed  by  the  president. 

Commissioners  From  the  States  and  Territories. — In  nearly  all  cases  the  State  Boards  of 
Commissioners  were  appointed  by  the  governors  in  conformity  with  acts  of  the  legislatures  of  the 
respective  States.  These  boards  assumed  such  executive  powers  and  functions  as  were  necessary 
to  secure  complete  and  creditable  displays  of  the  various  interests  of  their  respective  States,  by 
having  personal  charge  of  the  solicitation,  collection,  transportation,  arrangement  and  exhibi- 
tion of  the  objects  sent  by  associations  and  individual  citizens  of  the  States,  such  as  the  natural 
and  industrial  products,  objects  illustrating  the  history,  progress  and  moral  and  material  welfare 
and  future  development.  These  boards  generally  are  required  to  make  reports  of  their  proceed' 
ings  and  expenditures  from  time  to  time  to  their  governors.  The  commissioners  from  the  Terri- 
tories are  in  all  cases  appointed  by  the  governors/  respectively,  and  their  duties  and  powers  are 
the  same  as  those  from  the  States. 

President. — The  president  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  is  Mr.  Harlow  N.  Higin- 
botham,  one  of  the  members  of  the  firm  of  Marshall  Field  &  Co.  He  is  the  executive  officer  of 
the  corporation  and  the  active  agent  for  the  accomplishment  of  the  purposes  for  which  it  was 
formed.  All  contracts  binding  upon  the  corporation  and  upon  which  money  is  expended  from 
the  treasury  are  executed  by  him.  He  is  ex-officio  a  member  of  all  committees  of  the  board,  and 
is  chairman  of  its  Executive  Committee,  which  exercises  all  the  functions  of  the  Board  when  the 
latter  is  not  in  session.  Mr.  Higinbotham  is  also  chairman  of  the  Council  of  Administration,  a 
body  composed  of  two  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  two  members  of  the  World's 
Columbian  Commission  organized  for  the  purpose  of  concentrating  the  jurisdiction  of  both  bodies 
in  order  to  more  effectively  administer  the  affairs  of  the  enterprise.  (See  Council  of  Ad?ninis- 
tratio?i. 

[Harlow  Niles  Higinbotham  was  born  in  Joliet,  111.,  Oct.  10, 1838.  He  attended  school  in  a 
little  log  cabin  until  he  began  business  for  himself  at  the  age  of  twenty,  in  the  crockery  line.  He 
came  to  Chicago  in  1860,  and  entered  the  employ  of  Cooley,  Farwell  &  Co.,  where  he  remained 
for  a  short  time.  He  enlisted  in  the  Morgan  Guards  at  the  beginning  of  the  late  war,  and  went 
through  the  campaigns  in  Virginia  and  Tennessee.  Returning  after  the  close  of  the  war  he 
again  entered  the  firm  of  Cooley  &  Leiter,  which  was  afterward,  Field,  Leiter  &  Co.,  and  now 
Marshall  Field  &  Co.,  where  he  has  been  ever  since,  having  been  admitted  to  the  firm  in  1880. 
Mr.  Higinbotham,  from  the  inception  of  the  enterprise  was  a  working  member  of  the  two 
most  important  committees  of  the  corporation,  those  on  Finance,  and  Ways  and  Means.  He 
contributed  without  stint  his  time  and  services  when  the  fortunes  of  the  Exposition  were  so 
critical  that  the  committees  were  required  to  be  in  almost  continuous  session.  Mr.  Higinbotham's 
unanimous  election  as  president  was  followed  by  his  appointment  to  membership  and  the  chair- 
manship of  the  Council  of  Administration,  a  body  created  to  be  representative  of  the  supreme 
power  vested  in  both  the  national  commission  and  the  directory  of  the  corporation.  The  duties 
of  these  combined  stations  demand  the  constant  attention  of 'their  incumbent,  and  that  Mr. 
Higinbotham  should  give  this  is  a  contribution  whose  value  can  not  be  overestimated.  His 
characteristics  are  clearness  of  perception,  directness  of  method,  steadiness  of  application,  and 
promptitude  in  decision.  These  form  an  equipment  which  constitute  a  model  man  of  affairs,  and 
such  is  Mr.  Higinbotham.  His  success  in  life  has  been  the  outcome  of  work  and  thought,  not 
speculative  fortune.  The  destinies  of  the  Exposition  could  not  be  entrusted  to  a  more  capable 
and  trustworthy  guardian.] 


168  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

Vice-Presidents. — The  first  and  second  vice-presidents  are,  respectively,  Mr.  Ferdinand 
W.  Peck  and  Mr.  Robert  A.  Waller,  the  former  being  also  the  chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Finance,  and  the  latter  a  member  of  the  Committee  on  Ways  and  Means  and  of  the  Insurance 
Auxiliary  Committee,  which  attends  to  the  placing  of  insurance  upon  the  Exposition  buildings 
and  the  exhibits  contained  therein. 

[Ferdinand  Wythe  Peck,  the  son  of  Phillip  F.  W.  and  Mary  Kent  Peck,  was  born  in  Chi- 
cago in  1848,  and  is  the  youngest  of  seven  brothers,  three  of  whom  still  survive  and  are  known  among 
the  foremost  in  public  spirit  and  enterprise  of  Chicago's  sons.  At  the  time  of  his  birth  the  Peck 
mansion  and  grounds  occupied  the  site  now  covered  by  the  Grand  Pacific  Hotel,  and  the  city  as 
those  of  the  present  day  know  it  was  but  a  dream  of  the  enthusiast.  He  was  educated  in  Chi- 
cago, graduating  successfully  from  the  High  School,  the  Old  University,  and  the  Union  College 
of  Law,  and  received  his  diploma  from  the  latter  institution  while  yet  a  minor.  Mr.  Peck  was 
admitted  to  the  bar  coincidently  with  the  attainment  of  his  twenty-first  year.  Fie  has  never 
engaged  actively  in  the  practice  of  that  profession,  but  in  his  supervision  of  large  and  intricate 
affairs  has  found  the  value  of  that  training  which  Daniel  Webster  said  was  essential  to  the 
formation  of  a  man  of  business.  Mr.  Peck  from  his  first  entrance  upon  the  sphere  of  manhood 
has  given  largely  of  his  time,  talents,  and  influence  to  the  furtherance  of  measures  looking  to  the 
development  and  improvement  of  his  native  city.  He  has  been  prominently  connected  with 
most  of  the  enterprises  which  have  contributed  to  the  renown  of  Chicago.  The  magnitude  of  his 
private  interests  has  not  detained  him  from  active  participation  in  public  matters,  and  the  value 
of  his  alert  mind  and  untiring  energy  has  been  recognized  by  the  community  in  the  frequency 
with  which  he  has  been  called  to  leadership.  From  the  earliest  agitation  of  the  project  for  a 
Columbian  celebration,  Mr.  Peck  has  been  an  indefatigable  champion  of  the  scheme,  and  has 
labored  incessantly  toward  the  achievement  of  the  results  which  now  challenge  the  admiration  of 
the  world.  One  of  the  seven  original  incorporators  of  the  company  upon  whose  charter  the  whole 
superstructure  of  the  Exposition  was  based,  Mr.  Peck  is  now  first  vice-president  of  the  corpo- 
ration; also  a  member,  on  the  part  of  the  directory,  of  the  Board  of  Reference  and  Control,  and  of 
the  Bureau  of  Admission  and  Collection;  besides  exercising  the  arduous  functions  of  chairman 
of  the  Committee  on  Finance.  Among  other  claims  upon  his  busy  life  which  signify  the  estima- 
tion in  which  his  administrative  capacity  is  held,  he  is  now  the  incumbent  of  the  following  posi- 
tions: 

President  of  the  Chicago  Athenaeum;  president  of  the  Auditorium  Association;  president 
of  the  Chicago  Opera  Festival  Association;  trustee  of  the  New  Chicago  University;  vice-pres- 
ident of  the  Illinois  Humane  Society;  President  of  the  Union  League  Club.  Mr.  Peck  has  also 
served  for  four  years  as  a  member  and  vice-president  of   the  Board  of  Education. 

The  work  which,  perhaps,  most  worthily  interprets  and  emphasizes  the  ardor  and  resolu- 
tion with  which  Mr.  Peck  carries  his  plans  to  accomplishment,  is  the  vast  and  magnificent  Audi- 
torium building.  For  while  many  others  contributed  moral  and  financial  support  to  the  under- 
taking, the  idea  originated  with  him,  and  to  his  persistent  labors  and  dauntless  disregard  of 
obstacles  the  costly  structure  is  a  worthy  monument. 

Mr.  Peck  has  not  sacrificed  to  business,  or  to  the  public  welfare,  his  natural  taste  for 
domestic  and  social  enjoyments.  He  was  married  m  1872  to  Miss  Tilla,  daughter  of  W.  A, 
Spaulding  of  Chicago,  and  has  an  interesting  family  of  four  sons  and  two  daughters.  His  recre- 
ations are  found  in  those  refined  pleasures  which  adorn  and  elevate  the  home  circle,  and  his  love 
of  music  is  as  near  a  passion  as  a  well-regulated  mind  permits.] 

Secretary. — The  Secretary,  Mr.  Howard  O.  Edmonds,  is  the  custodian  of  the  records  of  the 
board  and  of  its  committees  and  of  the  corporate  seal.  He  attests  all  contracts  binding  the  cor- 
poration, issues  certificates  for  the  paid  up  shares  of  the  capital  stock  and  the  bonds  to  the 
amount  of  $5,000,000,  authorized  by  the  board. 

[Howard  O.  Edmonds,  Secretary  of  the  Worlo  s  Columbian  Exposition,  is  the  youngest  of 
the  officers  of  the  enterprise.  He  is  a  Pennsylvanian  by  birth,  and  is  twenty-eight  years  of  age. 
He  served  four  years  on  the  staff  of  the  Evening-Star,  of  Washington,  D.  C.,  and  was  subse- 
quently private  secretary  to  Assistant  Postmaster  General  Whitfield,  during  the  first  portion  of 
the  Harrison  administration.  This  position  he  resigned  in  order  to  accept  a  similar  one  with  the 
Hon.  Benjamin  Butterworth  when  the  latter  became  secretary  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposi- 
tion, and  in  April,  1892,  when  Mr.  Butterworth  declined  to  serve  another  term  as  secretary,  Mr. 
Edmonds  was  elected  to  succeed  him.  He  has  the  custody  of  the  records  of  the  corporation,  the 
issue  of  stock  certificates,  bonds,  etc.     Mr.  Edmonds  is  a  member  of  the  Illinois  bar.] 

Assistant  Secretary. — The  assistant  secretary,  Samuel  A.  Crawford,  is  the  secretary  of 
the  Committee  on  Ways  and  Means,  and  acts  in  the  absence  of  the  secretary. 

These  four  officers,  president,  two  vice-presidents  and  secretary,  constitute  what  is  known 
as  the  Executive  Department  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  the  function  of  which  is  to 
carry  out  and  into  effect  the  instructions  from  the  Board  of  Directors,  or  the  committees  thereof, 
in  matters  within  their  jurisdiction. 

Treasurer. — The  treasurer,  Mr.  Anthony  F.  Seeberger,  performs  the  duties  incident  to  the 
office  of  treasurer  in  all  corporations.  He  is  required  to  keep  and  account  for  all  moneys,  funds 
and  other  property  of  the  company  coming  into  his  hands,  which  consists  of  the  payments  upon 
stock  subscriptions,  the  proceeds  of  City  of  Chicago  bonds  in  aid  of  the  Exposition,  the  proceeds 
of  Exposition  six  per  cent,  debenture  bonds,  the  proceeds  of  the  appropriation  of  Columbian 
souvenir  half-dollars  and  the  receipts  from  percentages  paid  by  concessionaires,  the  receipts 
from  gate  admissions,  etc.     It  is  estimated  that  from  the  organization  of  the  corporation  to  the

close  of  the  Exposition,  October  30,  1893,  the  treasurer  will  have  received  in  round  numbers 
$35,000,000  from  all  sources,  and  will  have  paid  out  for  the  preparation  and  operation  of  the 
Exposition  from  $22,500,000  to  $23,000,000. 

Auditor. — The  auditor,  Mr.  William  K.  Ackerman,  has  charge  of  the  principal  books  of 
account  of  the  company  and  exercises  general  supervision  over  the  accounts  of  the  various 
departments.  He  is  the  custodian  of  the  property  of  the  corporation  and  keeps  an  inventory  of

mittee meets  regularly  once  a  week  and  as  much  oftener  as  the  business  of  the  corporation 
requires.  It  has  the  power  to  manage  and  direct  the  affairs  of  the  company  in  all  matters  except 
as  otherwise  directed  in  the  by-laws. 

STANDING  COMMITTEES. 

In  addition  to  the  Executive  Committee  the  committees  of  the  board  are:

vised by  the  attorney  and  receive  his  approval  before  being  executed  by  the  officers  of  the 
corporation. 


170  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 


COUNCIL  OF  ADMINISTRATION. 


The  Council  of  Administration  is  the  center  of  authority  for  the  administration  of  the 
Exposition.  This  body  has  absolute  and  final  jurisdiction  and  control  over  all  matters  of  gen- 
eral administration  of  the  Exposition  and  the  employment  of  all  agencies  necessary  thereto, 
except  that  it  can  not  expend  the  moneys  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  in  other  than 
such  amounts  as  are  specifically  appropriated  for  the  use  of  the  council  by  the  Board  of  Direct- 
ors or  its  Executive  Committee;  nor  can  it  expend  any  moneys  appropriated  by  Congress  on 
account  of  the  World's  Columbian  Commission,  unless  expressly  authorized  to  do  so  by  the 
Commission  or  its  Board  of  Control.  The  Council  is  composed  of  two  members  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  appointed  by  said  Board,  and  two  members  of 
the  Board  of  Control  of  the  World's  Columbian  Commission,  chosen  by  that  body.  The  Council 
of  Administration  was  created  by  an  agreement  drawn  up  by  the  joint  board  of  Reference  and 
Control  of  the  Commission  and  Exposition,  August  18,  1892,  in  a  conference  called  for  the  pur- 
pose of  providing  for  the  general  administration  of  the  Exposition  and  the  installation  of 
exhibits.  By  the  terms  of  this  agreement  the  Director-General,  who  is  an  officer  of  the  World's 
Columbian  Commission,  and  the  Director  of  Works,  who  is  an  officer  of  the  World's  Columbian 
Exposition,  together  with  the  entire  forces  under  their  control,  were  placed  under  and  subject  to 
the  control  and  direction  of  the  council  The  members  of  the  council  are  H.  X.  Higinbotham, 
Chairman,  and  Charles  H.  Schwab  for  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  and  George  V.  Massey 
and  J.  W.  St.  Clair  for  the  World's  Columbian  Commission. 

By  means  of  the  agreement  creating  the  Council  of  Administration  the  powers  and  duties 
conferred  by  law  upon  the  two  great  organizations  connected  with  the  Exposition  enterprise  were 
concentrated  in  this  body,  and  it  has  control  upon  the  one  hand  of  the  great  departments  organ- 
ized under  the  Director-General  for  dealing  with  exhibitors  and  the  representatives  of  foreign 
nations,  and  on  the  other  hand  of  the  forces  organized  under  the  Director  of  Works  for  the  phys- 
ical operation  of  the  Exposition.  The  council  transacts  its  business  mainly  through  these  two 
officers. 

Bureau  of  Admissions  and  Collections. — The  Bureau  of  Admissions  and  Collections  was 
created  by  a  rule  adopted  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  and 
approved  by  the  World's  Columbian  Commission  in  November,  1892.  It  consists  of  the  presi- 
dent, treasurer  and  auditor  and  the  chairman  of  the  Committees  on  Ways  and  Means  and  Finance 
of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition.  The  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Ways  and  Means  is 
also  the  chairman  of  the  bureau. 

The  work  of  the  bureau  is  divided  into  a  Department  of  Admissions,  which  has  charge  of 
the  gates,  the  selling  of  tickets  of  admission,  the  collection  of  the  same  and  rendering  of  gate 
receipts  into  the  treasury;  and  a  Department  of  Collections,  which  has  charge  of  the  auditing  of 
all  concessions  within  the  Exposition  grounds  and  the  settl  anient  between  concessionaires  and 
the  Exposition  for  the  percentages  due  the  latter.  The  Department  of  Collections  also  has 
charge  of  the  collection  of  all  sums  due  the  Exposition  from  exhibitors,  State  World's  Fair 
Boards  and  others. 

Department  of  Admissions.— This  department  is  under  the  charge  of  Mr.  Horace  Tucker, 
as  superintendent,  who  appoints  all  ticket  sellers  and  collectors  of  tickets  at  the  entrances  to  the 
Exposition  and  at  offices  located  in  the  city  along  the  lines  of  railroads  and  upon  the  pier  at 
Van  Buren  street  and  at  the  Exposition  grounds.  He  has  also  the  control  and  issuance  of  compli- 
mentary cards  of  admission,  photographic  pass  books,  passes,  etc.,  and  maintains  a  complete 
record  of  all  admissions.  The  service  in  the  Department  of  Admissions  requires  in  all  about  400 
men.  The  ticket  sellers  and  collectors  are  so  organized  that  three  reliefs  daily  are  made,  making 
the-service  average  to  each  man  eight  hours  per  day.  The  office  of  the  superintendent  is  located 
in  the  grounds  of  the  Exposition,  near  the  Sixty-second  street  entrance.  In  addition  to  the  ticket 
sellers  and  collectors  an  organized  force  has  been  provided  to  promptly  furnish  to  the  heads 
of  departments  the  requisite  information  daily  required  in  the  shape  of  reports.  All  ticket 
sellers  and  collectors  are  under  bond  to  the  department,  as  well  as  to  the  treasurer,  for  all 
tickets  and  money  received. 

The  arrangement  of  the  ticket  booths  and  entrances  at  all  points  on  the  ground  are  of  such 
a  character  and  number  that  visitors  will  not  be  delayed.  Altogether  there  are  326  turn- 
stiles, 97  ticket-booths,  182  ticket  windows  and  172  exit  gates.  At  the  most  conservative  estimate 
the  entrances  are  considered  capable  of  admitting  2,000  people  each  an  hour,  which  gives  a  total 
admission  capacity  of  500,000  an  hour  if  the  attendance  could  be  distributed  equally  at  all  the 
gates.  As  it  is  the  great  crowds  concentrated  at  the  most  prominent  entrances  are  able  to  pass  as 
rapidly  as  the  transportation  lines  can  b:ing  them.

The  gate  device  is  a  new  invention.  It  is  of  the  ordinary  turnstile  pattern,  except  that  the 
ticket  dropped  into  a  slot  on  one  side  releases  the  turnstile  on  the  other  side  of  the  incomer  and 
registers  by  an  automatic  arrangement.  The  man  in  charge  has  no  duty  except  to  see  that  the 
proper  coupon  or  ticket  is  dropped.  The  exits  are  independent  of  the  entrances  and  so  relieve 
the  crowd  around  the  gates.  When  the  ticket  is  deposited  it  is  chopped  with  an  automatic  cutter 
that  takes  three  big  sections  out  of  one  side  of  the  ticket  and  two  out  of  the  other,  preventing 
any  further  use  of  the  ticket. 

Contracts  were  let  for  furnishing  35,000,000  admission  tickets.  Of  these  5,000,000  were 
lithographed,  and  of  such  elaborate  workmanship  that  counterfeiting  them  will  be  next  to  impos- 
sible. These  were  designed  to  meet  the  advance  orders  for  tickets,  and  they  will  be  good  when- 
ever presented  at  the  gates.  The  remaining  30,000,000  are  simply  printed  after  the  style  of  an 
ordinary  railroad  ticket.  These  tickets  are  not  all  alike,  and  a  different  style  will  be  used  each 
day.  They  will  be  good  only  on  the  day  on  which  they  are  sold,  and  will  not  be  offered  to  the 
public  in  advance  of  that  day.  The  entire  issue  can  be  changed  at  any  hour  of  the  day  if  it  should 
be  found  necessary.  Thousands  of  complimentary  cards  and  passes  had  to  be  issued.  The  list 
includes  the  high  officials  of  the  government,  the  diplomatic  corps,  governors,  Exposition  com- 
missioners, directors,  lady  managers,  exhibitors,  employes,  members  of  the  press,  etc.  Nearly 
all  of  the  passes  have  affixed  the  photograph  of  the  holder  to  prevent  their  being  transferred. 

To  facilitate  the  sale  of  tickets  so  that  visitors  can  avoid  delay  at  the  gates  if  they  desire, 
Superintendent  Tucker  arranged  with  the  principal  down-town  hotels,  merchants,  railroad  and  boat 
lines  to  establish  branch  ticket  offices,  and  tickets  are  on  sale  at  numerous  convenient  places. 

The  passes  are  composed  of  coupon-books.  The  front  cover  bears  the  Exposition's  cor- 
porate title,  while  below  it  are  inscribed  the  holder's  name,  the  account  for  which  it  is  issued,  the 
department  to  which  it  is  charged,  and  Mr.  Tucker's  signature.  Inside  on  the  cover  is  an 
engraved  circle  containing  the  owner's  photograph.  On  the  outside  of  the  back  cover  is  a  vignette 
of  Columbus,  following  the  design  on  the  souvenir  coin.  The  coupons  bear  successive  dates 
in  heavy  black  letters,  beginning  with  May  1  and  closing  with  October  30.  On  each  is  stamped: 
"Not  good  if  detached."  In  addition  to  those  good  throughout  the  season,  there  are  books  good 
for  individual  months  for  such  as  need  them  for  a  given  month  only.  Then  there  are  compli- 
mentary cards  of  exceptionally  fine  design  for  guests  of  distinction  such  as  the  President  of  the 
United  States,  members  of  the  cabinet,  etc.  When  the  owner  of  a  complimentary  ticket  passes 
the  gate  he  will  drop  his  individual  card  in  the  collector's  box,  so  the  turnstile  can  be  opened. 


172  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

A  charge  of  $1  is  made  for  each  coupon-book  issued,  to  cover  the  cost  of  the  book  and  the 
leather  envelope  which  goes  with  it.  In  addition,  special  badges  are  issued  to  exhibitors  and 
their  employes,  for  which  a  deposit  of  $2  is  required  as  a  guaranty  that  the  badge  will  be  returned. 

Department  of  Collections. — The  Department  of  Collections  has  charge  of  the  collection 
of  all  moneys  which  may  become  due  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  on  account  of  privi- 
leges or  concessions;  also  the  collection  of  all  moneys  due  from  exhibitors  and  State  World's 
Fair  Boards.  This  department  is  under  the  charge  of  Mr.  Paul  Blackmar,  as  superintendent, 
and  Mr.  W.  E.  Cash,  assistant  superintendent.  Contracts  for  privileges  or  concessions  upon 
the  Exposition  grounds  number  considerably  over  200,  and  include  the  special  attractions 
located  upon  Midway  Plaisance,  such  as  the  German  Village,  the  Irish  Villages,  the  Ferris 
Wheel,  the  Libbey  Glass  Company,  the  Cycloramas,  etc.;  also  the  restaurants  located  on  various 
parts  of  the  grounds;  the  Elevated  Intramural  Electric  Railway;  steam  and  electric  launches 
and  gondolas  upon  the  lagoons  and  adjacent  waters  of  the  lake;  wheel  chairs  and  booths;  for 
the  sale  of  articles  of  consumption  and  interesting  curiosities,  mementoes  and  souvenirs. 
The  work  of  this  department  includes  not  only  the  collecting  of  the  percentage  of  the  Expo- 
sition Company  from  concessionaires,  but  involves  the  creation  of  systems  to  protect  con- 
cessionaires so  that  they  may  receive  the  full  proceeds  of  all  goods  sold,  protecting  them  against 
fraud  on  the  part  of  customers  or  their  own  employes.  The  department  has  created  ninety-five 
per  cent,  of  the  systems  of  collection  from  customers,  which  is  in  use  upon  the  grounds.  There 
are  about  3,500  stations  or  places  where  money  is  received  within  the  grounds.  This  depart- 
ment undertakes  to  supervise  or  control  the  receipt  of  money  at  all  these  places,  and  the 
accounting  for  it  to  the  concessionaires,  and  afterward  accounting  for  the  percentage  due  the 
Exposition  Company  from  the  concessionaires.     The  employes  number  nearly  five  hundred. 

Director-General. — For  duties  and  functions  of  the  Director-General  and  department  chiefs

Director  of  Works. — Daniel  H.  Burnham,  Director  of  Works,  was  born  in  Henderson, 
N.  Y.,  1864.  In  1855  his  parents  moved  to  Chicago,  where  Mr.  Burnham  has  since  lived,  with  the 
exception  of  two  years  spent  in  study  in  the  East,  and  one  year  which,  as  a  young  man,  he  spent 
in  the  activity  of  camp  and  mining  life  in  Nevada.  Upon  his  return  to  Chicago,  he  at  once 
resumed  his  architectural  studies,  forming  a  partnership  with  the  late  John  W.  Root  in  1873,  since 
which  time  he  has  been  continuously  engaged  in  the  practice  or  nis  profession.  Mr.  Burnham's 
connection  with  the  Exposition  commenced  shortly  after  Chicago  had  been  selected  a*s  its  site,  he 
and  Mr.  Root  working  up  numerous  preliminary  plans  in  the  early  summer  of  1890.  September 
2d,  of  the  same  year,  they  were  appointed  as  consulting  architects,  acting  jointly,  however,  in 
this  capacity  for  but  a  few  weeks,  Mr.  Burnham  having  been  made  chief  of  construction  in  October, 
1890,  and  Mr.  Root  remaining  as  consulting  architect.  The  plan  finally  adopted,  after  much 
discussion,  for  the  selection  of  architects  to  design  the  buildings  of  the  Exposition,  was  Mr. 
Burnham's,  and  upon  him  devolved  the  duty  of  securing  the  services  of  the  various  men.  This 
very  important  function  having  been  successfully  carried  out  under  the  most  trying  circum- 
stances (for  it  was  during  these  days  which  required  the  most  steady  hand  at  the  helm  that  Mr. 
Burnham  lost  by  death  his  partner  and  boyhood  friend),  further  organization  of  the  work  pro- 
ceeded by  the  formulation  of  an  active  working  corps.  He  was  most  fortunate  in  his  selection 
of  his  immediate  staff,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  pressure  of  time  did  not  warrant  the 
deliberation  in  picking  his  lieutenants  which,  under  the  circumstances  would  have  seemed  neces- 
sary, but  which,  as  results  have  shown,  could  not  have  been  more  successful.  Mr.  Burnham  has 
been  called  upon  since  the  commencement  of  his  work  to  assume,  by  reason  of  death  and  resig- 
nation, in  addition  to  his  other  heavy  duties,  those  of  Consulting  Architect,  Chief  Engineer  and 
General  Manager  of  the  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Work  (these  being  the  two  greatest 
plants  of  their  character  ever  brought  into  successful  operation,  throughout  the  entire 
work  he  has  sacrificed  to  the  Exposition  his  own  personal  interest  and  given  his  time  almost 
unreservedly  to  this  work,  making  his  headquarters  at  Jackson  Park  in  the  very  heart  of  the 
activity.  He  has  been  most  intimately  and  directly  associated  with  each  of  the  many  problems 
arising  and  necessary  of  solution  before  the  completion  of  the  work  was  assured.  He  has  had 
from  the  beginning  of  the  work,  the  general  charge  of  the  construction  of  buildings  and  super- 
vision of  the  business  thereof,  the  preparation  of  the  grounds  and  engineering  incident  to  a 
proper  prosecution  of  the  entire  work.  He  has  had  the  supervision  of  the  buildings  erected  by 
outside  parties  and  the  maintenance  of  all  buildings  belonging  to  the  Exposition.  He  has  been 
required  to  examine  all  bids  and  propositions  for  work  under  his  control,  and  to  organize  bureaus 
of  architecture,  engineering,  landscape  gardening,  sanitation;  to  hire  and  dismiss  all  employes 
in  his  department,  and  fix,  subject  to  approval,  the  compensation  for  their  services.  He  has  the 
employment  (subject  to  the  approval  or  confirmation  of  the  Council  of  Administration)  and  gen- 
eral charge  of  all  the  working  forces  within  the  grounds  of  the  Exposition  necessary  to  the  main- 
tenance of  order,  the  protection  of  property  from  fire  or  other  destructive  elements,  to  supply 
heat,  power,  light,  water  and  sewerage,  the  care  of  the  grounds  and  all  service  necessary  to  the 
practical  administration  of  the  Exposition   inside   the   grounds. 

Assistant-Director  of  Works. — Mr.  E.  R.  Graham,  the  assistant  director  of  works,  is  the 
practical  representative  of  the  director  df  works  and  acts  in  his  absence. 

Mechanical  Engineer. — Mr.  Charles  F.  Foster,  the  mechanical  engineer,  has  control  of  the 
power  plant,  which  numbers  over  thirty  ergines. 

Electrical  Engineer.— Mr.  R.  H.  Pierce,  the  electrical  engineer,  has  charge  of  the  entire 
electrical  power  on  the  grounds. 


D.  H.  BURNHAM, 

DIRECTOR    OF   WORKS,  WORLD'S   COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  173 

Secretary  of  Works. — The  secretary  of  works  has  charge  of  records,  correspondence,  etc.,. 
of  the  Department  of  Works,  and  in  a  general  way  performs  all  the  duties  incident  to  the 
office  of  a  secretary. 

Landscape  Architects. — The  advice  of  the  landscape  architects  was  first  asked  in  July, 

1890,  when  the  project  of  the  Exposition  could  be  no  more  exactly  denned  than  by  the  statement 
that  it  was  to  be  of  a  character  generally  similar  to  that  of  previous  World's  Fairs,  but  on  a 
somewhat  larger  scale  than  the  largest  of  them  had  been.  Only  the  purposes  and  dimensions 
could  be  stated  of  a  few  of  the  larger  Exposition  buildings.  From  this  point  the  scheme  was 
developed  very  gradually,  additional  buildings  requiring  to  be  introduced,  and  buildings  early 
contemplated  requiring  to  be  eliminated,  from  time  to  time,  until  within  a  month  of  the  opening 
ceremony.  Hence  it  was  necessary  that  the  primary  plan  should  have  an  elastic  quality,  admit- 
ting much  adjustment,  as  the  project  developed.  Such  a  primary  plan  was  submitted  by  the 
landscape  architects  and  adopted  by  the  National  Commission  in  December,  1890.  Since  that 
time  it  has  been  the  duty  of  the  landscape  architects,  first,  to  devise  adjustments  of  the  primary 
plan  by  which  it  would  be  fitted- to  innumerable  requirements,  as  from  week  to  week  occasion  for 
them  was  presented;  secondly,  to  prepare  detailed  and  working  plans  for  carrying  out  such  parts 
of  the  general  plan  as  have  not  come  within  the  functions  of  the  architects,  engineers  and  other 
technical  departments;  thirdly,  to  specify  the  material  and  direct  the  operation  required  for  the 
carrying  out  of  these  plans,  more  especially  those  pertaining  to  the  modeling  of  the  surface,  the 
outlining  of  the  terraces  and  shores;  the  construction  of  the  roads  and  walks,  and  the  forming  of 
the  plantations  and  landscape  decorations.  They  have  also  planned  the  provisions  for  boating 
and  for  stocking  the  lagoons  with  water  fowl,  and  have  been  in  consultation  with  the  architects 
and  engineers  in  respect  to  innumerable  adjustments  of  their  work  to  the  requirements  of  the 
general  landscape  design. 

Director  of  Decoration. — At  the  date  of  his  appointment,  June  1,  1892,  Mr.  F.  D.  Millet 
found  his  predecessor  had  given  out  by  contract  the  painting  and  glazing  of  the  buildings  already 
built  or  in  course  of  construction.  After  a  month  or  more  spent  in  the  study  of  the  roofs  and 
general  mechanical  painting,  he  contracted  with  various  persons  to  paint  the  buildings,  decorate 
the  domes,  and  for  the  production  of  statuary — such  as  the  quadriga  for  the  water-gate;  bulls  and 
horses,  with  attendant  men,  to  occupy  the  pedestals  at  the  landings  of  the  Grand  Court;  Neptune 
for  the  rostral  columns;  figures  for  the  Peristyle  and  for  the  hemicycle  of  the  Electricity  Build- 
ing, and  for  the  decoration  of  the  galleries  of  the  Fine  Arts  Building.  In  October  Mr.  Millet  de- 
cided that  a  painting  machine  could  be  used  to  great  advantage  in  doing  the  mechanical  painting 
of  the  interiors,  on  account  of  the  great  amount  of  rough  timber  used  in  the  construction,  and  the 
great  quantity  of  bridging.  After  a  few  experiments,  work  was  begun  in  the  Agricultural  Building, 
by  the  use  of  a  Turner  air-compressor,  run  by  an  electric  motor.  The  great  saving  of  time  by  the 
use  of  this  machine  warranted  the  acquisition  of  more  of  the  same  kind,  and  several  of  these 
machines  were  purchased  immediately.  That  Mr.  Millet's  decision  in  this  respect  was  a  wise  one 
has  been  proven,  inasmuch  as  the  painting  of  the  interiors  (the  magnitude  of  which  has  never  been 
equaled)  was  completed  very  much  sooner  than  was  expected,  and  at  figures  much  lower  than  the 
closest  estimates.  The  dedicatory  ceremonies  demoralized  the  work  of  this  department  to  a 
serious  degree,  because  the  time  in  which  the  decorations  had  to  be  made  was  so  short  that  the 
entire  force  had  to  be  detailed  for  this  work  and  great  expense  incurred.  Early  in  December, 
Mr.  Millet  organized  the  drapery  department,  for  the  manufacture  of  skylight  shades,  awnings, 
flags,  banners,  etc.  in  addition  to  the  regular  work  of  the  department,  the  director  of  decoration 
superintended  the  repairing  of  the  roofs  of  the  Exposition  buildings.  The  working  force  of  this 
department  comprises  house  painters,  glaziers,  fresco  painters,  sign  painters,  machinists,  tin- 
smiths, roofers,  engineers,  laborers,  sailmakers,  upholsterers  and  sewing-women.  In  the  super- 
vision of  both  decorative  and  mechanical  painting,  sculpture  work,  manufacture  of  flags,  awn- 
ings, shades  and  banners,  and  also  guarding  the  many  pleasing  effects  he  has  contrived  to  bring 
about,  to  see  that  the  beauty  thereof  is  not  marred  by  the  location  of  some  unimportant  structure, 
or  else  by  a  harlequin  decoration,  the  director  of  decoration  finds  something  with  which  to  busy 
himself  at  all  times. 

General  Manager  of  Transportation. — Shortly  after  the  appointment  of  Mr.  D.  H.  Burn- 
ham,  as  Chief  of  Construction,  in  October,  1890,  he  organized  the  Bureau  of  Railroads 
with  Mr.  E.  G.  Nourse,  Engineer  of  Railroads  at  its 'head.  The  first  problem  was  to  lay 
a  railroad  track  into  the  grounds,  from  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad,  the  only  railroad  then 
adjacent  to  the  park.  This  track  was  laid  across  the  Midway  Plaisance  into  the  southern  part  of 
the  park  where  a  yard  was  laid  out;  into  this  yard  all  the  construction  material  was  shipped,  first 
over  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad  alone,  and  afterward  over  that  and  the  Baltimore  &  Ohio 
Railway,  which  company  laid  two  tracks  up  to  the  south  end  of  the  park.  Tracks  were  laid  from 
this  yard  to  each  of  the  large  buildings  and  elsewhere,  which  tracks  were  shifted  around  or  taken 
up  and  relaid  as  the  exigencies  of  the  case  required;  in  all  nineteen  miles  of  such  track  were  laid 
and  31,371  cars  of  construction  material  had  come  in  over  these  tracks  up  to  April  1,  1893. 

The  next  problem  was  the  consideration  of  a  passenger  terminal.  This  proved  a  very 
vexatious  problem.  Many  different  solutions  were  involved  by  the  Bureau  of  Railroads.  Sug- 
gestions were  made  by  many  railroad  officials  and  other  people  who  took  an  interest  in  the  mat- 
ter.    Mr.  Baker,  President  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  at  about  this  time,  December  15, 

1891,  obtained  the  services  of  Mr.  W.  H.  Holcomb,  a  veteran  railroad  manager,  as  his  assista  it  in 
this  matter,  and  he  and  Mr.  Nourse  labored  together  from  this  time  on.  Many  conferences 
were  held  with  the  various  railroads   centering  in  Chicago.     In  the   meantime   the  necessity  of 


174  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

enlarging  Machinery  Hall  and  the  construction  of  other  buildings  not  at  first  contemplated 
largely  circumscribed  the  possibilities  of  the  case,  so  that  finally  the  present  system  was  settled 
upon  by  the  parties  in  interest  as  the  best  that  could  be  done  under  the  circumstances.  At  this 
time  Mr,  Holcomb  was  made  General  Manager  of  Transportation  under  Mr.  Burnham,  and  Mr. 
Nourse  became  his  assistant. 

The  next  problem  was  the  installation  of  exhibits.  To  the  Transportation  Department 
was  now  assigned  the  duty  of  unloading  the  exhibits  and  placing  them  on  or  adjacent  to  the 
spaces  they  occupy  in  the  various  buildings. 

For  the  completion  of  this  undertaking  certain  tracks  were  laid  in  and  around  the  build- 
ings. About  ten  milesonly  of  these  tracks  could  be  laid,  and  already  the  department  has  been 
compelled  to  suffer  the  loss  of  quite  a  portion  of  these  tracks. 

In  the  meantime  the  present  terminal  system  was  pushed  to  completion,  and  the  terminal 
tracks  proper  were  used  as  team  tracks  for  the  unloading  of  exhibits.  There  are  in  the  terminal 
seventeen  miles  of  track,  and  thirty-five  tracks  upon  which  passenger  trains  can  be  loaded  or 
unloaded  at  once.  One  thousand  cars  can  stand  on  the  tracks  of  this  terminal  at  one  time  and 
be  in  easy  access  of  teams  for  unloading.  Many  wagons  and  teams  were  hired  and  the  work  of 
unloading  and  installing  of  exhibits  proceeded  as  rapidly  as  they  arrived.  This,  of  course, 
required  an  army  of  men.  Warehouses  for  empty  packing  cases  have  been  built  and  to  them  are 
transported  such  empty  boxes  as  exhibitors  wish  to  pay  storage  on.  The  terminal  yard  is 
fenced  in  and  operated  during  the  Exposition  under  the  direction  of  the  Transportation  Depart- 
ment. As  the  terminal  can  and  probably  will  be  reached  by  local  and  excursion  trains  over 
every  railroad  entering  in  Chicago,  the  problem  is  not  considered  a  light  one.  In  addition  to  this 
work,  the  handling  of  all  the  supplies  for  the  restaurants  and  other  concessions  inside  the  park 
are  under  and  by  this  department.  This  is  mostly  night  work,  but  when  it  is  considered  that 
food  and  drink  for  a  large  army  or  city  must  be  handled  daily  with  the  utmost  promptness  and 
dispatch,  it  can  readily  be  seen  that  this  is  not  the  easiest  of  the  various  problems  entrusted  to 
this  department.  Then,  too,  during  the  Exposition  a  report  must  be  gotten  out.  This  will  be  a 
laborious  and  necessarily  arduous  undertaking  to  render  an  account  of  the  doings  of  the  depart- 
ment from  its  inception  to  the  close  of  the  Exposition.  But  the  end  is  not  yet.  The  buildings 
and  exhibits  must  be  taken  down  and  removed  and  the  park  returned  as  near  as  can  be  to  its 
former  condition.     In  this  work  it  is  possible  that  the  Transportation  Department  may  take  a  hand. 

Commandant  Columbian  Guard. — The  commandant  has  control  of  the  Columbian  Guard 
and  as  such  is  the  conservator  of  the  peace,  quiet  and  dignity  at  the  Exposition. 

Chief  Engineer. — This  official  designed  the  roof  trusses,  foundations,  the  timber  framing 
and  the  iron  work  of  all  Exposition  buildings,  including  the  arches  over  the  court  of  the  Manu- 
factures and  Liberal  Arts  Building,  and  the  arches  of  Machinery  Hall.  He  also  made  drawings 
of  the  same;  supervised  all  constructional  drawings  made  by  the  architectural  force;  made  plans 
of  the  bridges,  piers,  docks  and  viaducts;  examined  the  constructional  and  foundation  plans  of 
all  the  State,  foreign  and  concession  buildings  and  structures,  and  made  changes  wherever  neces- 
sary; examined  all  plans  submitted  by  the  exhibitors  in  cases  where  it  was  necessary  to  cut 
through  the  floors,  or  in  any  way  affect  the  construction  of  the  buildings.  He  is  responsible  for 
the  construction  of  the  buildings,  docks,  piers,  bridges  and  viaducts,  and  during  the  Exposition 
will  look  after  them  as  far  as  their  construction  is  concerned 

Engineer  of  Grades  and  Surveys. — This  office  was  created  on  November  1,  1890,  and  the 
engineer  was  charged  with  the  duty  of  executing  all  surveys  of  grades,  the  laying  out  of  the  plans 
of  the  buildings,  roads,  sewers,  water  pipes,  and  other  plans  which  had  been  designed  by  the 
heads  of  the  various  departments,  and  seeing  that  a  perfect  record  was  kept  which  would  involve 
uniformity  in  all  these  various  plans.  The  Department  of  Surveys  and  Grades  was  also  charged 
with  preliminary  clearing,  grading  and  dredging,  which  work  was  completed  in  the  summer  of 
1890.  It  has  also  charge  of  the  maps,  atlases  and  other  records  of  the  layout  of  the  Exposition; 
and  further,  has  charge  of  the  construction  and  maintenance  of  the  roads,  pavements  and  walks. 
It  employed  an  average  of  seventy-five  engineers,  draughtsmen,  rodmen  and  chainmen,  during 
the  period  of  construction.  The  duties  of  the  Engineer  of  Surveys  and  Grades  during  the  Expo- 
sition will  be:  first,  custodian  of  records  showing  space  and  assignments;  secondly,  preparation  and 
distribution  of  necessary  maps  and  data;  thirdly,  care  and  maintenance  of  roadway;  fourthly,  the 
furnishing  of  official  information  drawn  from  records  of  his  office. 

Chief  Draftsman.— The  Architectural  Department,  conducted  by  the  chief  draftsman,  was 
organized  April  1,  1891,  and  in  a  short  time,  a  large  force  of  draftsmen  were  employed  in  making 
drawings  for  the  main  buildings  of.  the  Exposition;  the  designs  having  been  previously  made  by 
the  appointed  architects  for  these  buildings.  The  time  allowed  for  this  work  being  so  short,  and 
the  expediency  of  getting  these  numerous  buildings  under  contract  so  important,  every  effort 
was  made  to  get  the  drawings  in  condition  for  the  main  contracts  so  that  these  could  be  begun, 
and  the  work  progress  on  all  buildings  at  the  earliest  possible  moment. 

To  facilitate  the  progress  of  estimating  on  the  buildings  there  were  furnished  thirty  com- 
plete copies  of  each  set  of  drawings  on  each  building,  to  enable  a  large  number  of  contractors  to 
estimate  at  the  same  time.  After  contracts  were"  let,  each  drawing  having  been  previously 
approved  by  the  chief  engineer,  the  full  size  and  scale  details  were  then  made  of  every  building. 
This  involved  more  drawings  and  labor  on  each  building  after  the  letting  of  the  contracts  than 
had  been  required  previously.  The  force  to  carry  on  this  work  required  at  the  start  from  forty 
to  as  many  as  seventy  draftsmen  during  the  fall  of  1891,  and  probably  averaged  fifty  men  through- 
out the  two  years  of  its  existence.     These  draftsmen  were  constantly  consulting  and  working  in

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  175 

connection  with  the  engineers  in  the  department  of  the  chief  engineer,  the  labors  of  these  two 
departments  being  of  such  a  nature  that  the  one  could  not  proceed  without  the  harmonious 
co-operation  of  the  other.  Besides  making  all  necessary  drawings  for  each  building,  with  the 
exception  of  the  trusses,  etc.,  before  letting  contracts,  careful  and  accurate  specifications  were 
made  of  each  particular  contract,  specifying  in  detail,  material  and  manner  of  construction,  and 
giving  the  time  for  the  completion  of  the  contract.  Besides  preparing  drawings  and  specifica- 
tions for  the  letting  of  contracts  on  these  buildings,  it  is  the  duty  of  this  department  to  make  a 
final  acceptance  of  all  these  contracts,  which  means  a  checking  up  of  all  specifications  and  work 
at  the  buildings,  after  having  been  delivered  by  the  contractor  to  the  construction  department. 
It  is  expected  that  this  force  will  be  materially  reduced,  as  most  of  the  work  required  after 
the  opening  of  the  Exposition  is  in  checking  over  contracts,  carefully  filing  existing  drawings, 
and  making  a  record  set  of  drawings  of  each  building,  showing  completely,  all  monifica- 
tions  which  have  been  made  in  the  plans  from  the  first  beginning.  While  the  force  of  this 
department  has  been  greatly  diminished  during  the  last  three  or  four  months,  it  has  been 
done  by  transferring  the  draftsmen  from  time  to  time  to  the  various  offices  of  the  chiefs  of  the 
different  buildings,  as  they  were  required  for  the  purpose  of  laying  out  drawings  for  the  installa- 
tion of  exhibits,  directly  under  the  charge  of  the  chief  of  each  building. 

Medical  Director. — The  duties  of  the  medical  director  from  the  time  of  the  establishment 
of  the  position  were  :  To  organize  a  medical  bureau  having  jurisdiction  over  all  cases  of  per- 
sonal injury  occurring  in  the  line  of  duty,  and  such  other  cases  as  the  Exposition  Company  may 
be  responsible  for,  or  which  in  its  judgment  should  be  cared  for  ;  also  all  sanitary  and  hygienic 
matters  ccnnected  with  the  grounds  and  buildings  and  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  health  and 
physical  well-being  of  the  construction  forces  and  the  employes  who  are  engaged  in  the 
conduct  of  the  Exposition. 

He  is  required  to  keep  such  records  and  data  regarding  his  bureau  as  will  enable  him  to  make 
monthly  reports  to  the  Committee  on  Grounds  and  Buildings,  and  a  final  report  after  the  close  of 
the  Exposition,  of  the  work  of  his  bureau.  The  office  of  the  Medical  Bureau  was  opened  June 
1,  1891.  The  periods  were,  for  the  sake  of  convenience  and  statistics,  divided  into  the  pre-Expo- 
sition  period,  the  Exposition  period,  and  the  post-Exposition  period.  The  bureau  had  54,024 
cases  to  April  1st;  2,860  of  these  being  surgical,  2,164  medical. 

Upon  the  medical  director  during  the  Exposition  will  devolve  the  care  of  the  sick  and 
injured  visitors,  of  the  resident  population  and  of  the  employes  upon  the  grounds  ;  regulation  of 
sanitary  matters;  inspection  of  grounds  and  buildings,  etc.  The  Emergency  Hospital  is  in  one 
portion  of  the  Service  Building,  and  comprises  one-fourth  of  the  building. 

The  hospital  contains,  on  the  first  floor,  the  following:  Two  wards,  of  ten  beds  each,  for 
men;  one  ward  often  and  another  of  three  beds  for  women;  medical  director's  office;  resident 
physician's  office;  office  of  the  superintendent  of  nurses;  diet  kitchen;  drug  room;  linen  and 
clothes  closets;  two  examining  and  operating  rooms  and  closets;  reception  room  and  two  waiting 
rooms — one  for  men  and  one  for  women. 

On  the  second  floor  are  the  dormitories  for  nurses  and  physicians. 

No  patient  will  be  permitted  to  remain  in  this  hospital  over  night.  It  is  essentially  an 
Emergency  Hospital. 

On  account  of  the  extent  of  the  grounds,  it  was  necessary  to  establish  two  sub-stations,  or 
sub-hospitals,  each  of  three  or  four  beds  for  males  and  the  same  number  for  females.  One  of 
these  is  located  at  the  east  end  of  Midway  Plaisance,  and  another  east  of  Guard  Station  No.  7, 
between  Machinery  Hall  and  the  Terminal  railway  station. 

There  are  four  ambulances.  Two  are  stationed  near  the  Emergency  Hospital  and  one  con- 
tiguous to  each  of  the  sub-stations.  In  addition,  fifty  invalid  chairs  are  used  for  the  transporta- 
tion of  the  sick  to  boat,  sub-station  or  hospital.  A  trained  ambulance  corps  and  a  physician  is 
detailed  for  each  ambulance. 

An  electric  launch,  to  patrol  the  lagoon,  is  in  the  service  of  the  Medical  Bureau.  It  per- 
forms the  function  of  an  ambulance,  as  well  as  that  of  a  sub-station,  or  sub-hospital. 

In  the  Emergency  Hospital  there  are  two  resident  physicians,  a  corps  of  attending  physi- 
cians, hospital  steward.,  orderlies  for  stretcher  work,  and  druggists.  There  are  also  a  superin- 
tendent of  nurses,  a  surgical  nurse,  and  a  corps  of  trained  nurses  in  addition,  for  the  hospitai. 
There  are  trained  nurses  and  attending  physicians  at  the  sub-stations,  and  also  upon  the  electric 
launch.  One  hundred  and  fifty  stretchers  are  apportioned  to  the  various  buildings  as  follows: 
Manufactures  Building,  32;  Woman's  Building,  10;  Horticultural  Building,  9;  Fisheries  Building, 
6;  Art  Gallery,  20;  Agricultural  Building,  24;  Forestry  Building,  2;  Dairy  Building,  1;  Stock 
Pavilion,  2;  Mining  Building,  8;  Electricity  Building,  8;  Transportation  Exhibits  Building,  17; 
Bonded  Warehouses,  2;  Packing  Case  Buildings,  2;  Saw  Mill,  2;  Music  Hall,  4;  Recital  Hall,  1. 

The  steam  launch  takes  patients  from  any  landing.  The  chief  landing  for  this  launch  is 
at  the  north  end  of  the  Transportation  Exhibts  Building,  close  to  the  Emergency  Hospital,  to 
which  patients  will  be  conveyed  by  invalid  chairs,  or  by  hand  litters,  when  necessary. 

Upon  the  flag  of  this  department  is  seen,  in  the  center,  the  Geneva  cross  and  the  words 
"Medical  Bureau."  It  marks  sub-stations,  Emergency  Hospital,  and  indicates  the  hospital  or 
ambulance  boat.  The  badge  worn  by  the  physicians  consists  of  the  Geneva  cross,  containing  in 
its  center  a  disc,  in  which  is  a  countersunk  panel  showing  in  raised  design  the  lettering  "  World's 
Columbian  Exposition,  Medical  Bureau,"  and  in  the  center  is  the  symbol  of  Hygeia.  Interwoven 
^.nd  forming  a  wreath  inside  the  points  of  the  cross  are,  in  raised  relief,  poppy  heads.  The  cen- 
tral circular  portion  of  the  badge  and  poppies  are  silvered.     The  badge  of  the  medical  director 


176  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

has  a  gold  center,  the  circumference  of  which  is  of  blue  enamel,  which,  with  the  silvered  poppies 
and  the  sealing-wax  red  of  the  Geneva  cross,  make  the  national  colors,  red,  white  and  blue. 
The  badge  is  also  upon  the  sides  of  the  ambulances  and  the  boat.  The  nurse's  badge  is  the  same 
as  that  of  the  attending  physicians,  minus  the  poppy  heads.  All  other  attaches  of  the  Medical 
Bureau  wear  the  central  circular  portion  of  the  badge,  silvered,  without  cross  and  without 
poppies. 

All  of  the  physicians  are  educated  and  experienced  men,  selected  on  account  of  their 
fitness  for  the  position  which  they  occupy. 

The  function  of  the  bureau  is  to  minister  to  the  sick  and  the  injured  upon  the  grounds; 
to  look  after  sanitary  matters,  etc. 

This  hospital  is  in  no  sense  an  exhibit,  but  its  corps  of  workers  will  doubtless  be  actively 
engaged  in  caring  for  those  who  require  its  services. 

The  physicians  are  clothed  in  navy  blue  uniform;  all  others  in  gray,  trimmed  with  green. 
The  nurses  wear  the  uniforms  of  their  schools,  respectively. 

At  the  close  of  the  gates,  or  before,  patients  who  are  dangerously  hurt  or  seriously  ill  will 
be  removed  to  their  residences,  boarding  houses,  to  a  hospital,  or  referred  to  outside  physicians. 

Sub-stations,  hospital  and  launch  have  telephone  connections.     The  service  is  free.

[For  the  names  of  members  and  alternates  from  the  States  and  Territories,  see  "State  and 
Territorial  Buildings  and  Officials."  J 

The  Act  of  Congress  creating  the  World's  Columbian  Commission,  author- 
ized and  required  the  appointment  of  a  Board  of  Lady  Managers.  The  Board 
consists  of  two  women  from  each  State  and  Territory  and  the  District  of  Columbia, 
nominated  by  Commissioners  from  the  several  States  and  Territories  and  the 
District  of  Columbia,  and  of  one  woman,  nominated  by  each  of  the  Commis- 
sioners-at-large  and  appointed  by  the  President,  and  also  nine  women  of  the 
city  of  Chicago  appointed  by  the  President,  and  a  like  number  of  alternates, 
appointed  in  the  same  manner  as  the  principals,  and  who  assume  the  duties  and 
functions  of  such  principals  only  when  the  principals  are  unable  to  attend. 

Each  member  of  the  Board  is  entitled  to  receive  $6  per  day  for  each  day 
necessarily  absent  from  home  engaged  in  the  work  of  the  Board,  and  also 
the  expenses  for  transportation  actually  incurred  by  her  on  that  account.  The 
alternates  receive  no  compensation  nor  expenses  for  transportation,  except 
in  cases  where  their  principals  are  unable  to  attend  to  the  duties  assigned 
to  them. 

In  accordance  with  resolutions  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  World's 
Columbian  Commission,  adopted  October  21,  1890,  authorizing  the  organization 
of  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers,  "And  said  Commission  is  authorized  and  re- 
quired to  appoint  a  Board  of  Lady  Managers  of  such  number  and  to  perform 
such  duties  as  may  be  prescribed  by  said  Commission.  Said  Board  may  appoint 
one  or  more  members  of  all  committees  authorized  to  award  prizes  for 
exhibits  which  may  be  produced  in  whole  or  in  part  by  female  labor," 
President  T.  W.  Palmer  and  Secretary  John  T.  Dickinson  were  requested 
to  make  arrangements  to  secure  a  suitable  hall  in  which  the  Board  could 
hold  its  meetings.  It  was  further  requested  that  President  Palmer  call 
the  Board  to  order  at  12  o'clock  M.,  November  19,  1890,  and  preside  until 
they  elected  a  chairman  and  secretary,  and  that  Secretary  Dickinson  of- 
ficiate as  secretary.  This  first  meeting  was  held  at  Kinsley's  Hall'  at  which 
members  were  present  from  the  several  States  and  Territories.  The  Hon.  T.  W. 
Palmer  addressed  the  assemblage  and  his  words  of  cheer  were  graciously  received. 
Before  each  member  of  the  Board  had  received  her  commission,  President  Palmer 
said,  among  other  things:  "These  parchment  commissions  which  have  been 
bestowed  upon  you  may  well  serve  in  the  better  days  to  come  as  titles  of  a  nobil- 
ity as  far  beyond  what  has  passed  for  nobility  in  half-developed  society  as  the 
future  shall  be  beyond  the  ages  when  hereditary  titles  arose.     That  your  chil- 


178  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

dren's  children,  to  many  generations,  should  cite  their  descent  from  Lady  Mana- 
gers of  an  Exposition  which  served  as  a  mile-stone  to  mark  the  world's  grandest 
and  swiftest  progress,  lies  in  your  hands  and  brains  to-day.  All  that  American 
women  ever  lacked — opportunity — is  here,  and  from  every  State  and  Territory 
the  women  of  the  hour  are  here  to  take  advantage  thereof.  It  needs  no  gift  of 
prophecy  to  enable  one  to  predict  that  the  future  will  justify  the  wisdom  of  the 
creation  of  your  Board,  and  the  selection  of  its  individual  members." 

Secretary  Dickinson  delivered  to  each  member  of  the  Board  and  alternate 
present  the  certificates  of  the  Commission,  and  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers  was 
thus  launched  upon  the  sea  of  self-reliance.  Temporary  organization  was  effected 
by  the  unanimous  election  of  Mrs.  William  Felton  of  Georgia,  as  Chairman,  and 
Miss  Cora  D.  Payne  of  Kentucky,  as  Secretary. 

On  the  second  day  Mrs.  Potter  Palmer  of  Chicago  was  unanimously  elected 
President  of  the  Board,  and  Miss  Phcebe  Cousins  of  Missouri,  Secretary.  Subse- 
quently, the  office  of  Secretary  having  become  vacant,  Mrs.  Susan  Gale  Cooke  of 
Tennessee  was,  on  September  2,  1891,  elected  to  fill  the  position. 

By  the  resolutions  adopted  by  the  World's  Columbian  Commission  at  the 
session  of  April,  1891,  the  powers  and  duties  of  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers  were 
defined,  in  which  the  Board  was  "  directed  and  empowered  to  appoint  one  or 
more  members  of  all  committees  authorized  to  award  prizes  for  exhibits  which 
may  be  produced  in  whole  or  in  part  by  female  labor  ;  and  the  number  of  such 
women  members  so  to  be  appointed  shall  be  in  proportion  to  the  percentage  of 
female  labor  performed  in  the  production  of  such  exhibits."  The  Board  was 
given  the  management  and  control  of  the  Woman's  Building.  The  Board  was 
given  general  charge  and  management  of  all  the  interests  of  women  in  the 
Exposition. 

Encompassed  and  on  all  sides  by  luxuriant  shrubs  and  beds  of  fragrant 
flowers,  like  a  white  silhouette  against  a  background  of  old  and  stately  oaks,  is 
seen  the  Woman's  Building,  situated  in  the  northwestern  part  of  the  grounds, 
separated  by  a  generous  distance  from  the  Horticultural  Building  on  the  one  side 
and  the  Illinois  State  Building  on  the  other,  and  facing  the  great  lagoon  with  the 
Flowery  Island  as  a  vista.  Among  a  great  number  of  sketches  submitted  in 
competition  for  this  building  by  women  from  all  over  the  land,  the  President  of 
the  Board  of  Lady  Managers,  Mrs.  Potter  Palmer,  discovered  in  the  sketch 
submitted  by  Miss  Sophia  G.  Hayden,  that  harmony  of  grouping  and  graceful- 
ness of  detail  which  indicate  the  architectural  scholar,  and  to  her  was  awarded 
the  first  prize  of  a  thousand  dollars,  and  also  the  execution  of  the  design.  The 
second  and  third  prizes  were  given  respectively  to  Miss  Lois  L.  Howe,  of  Boston, 
and  Miss  Laura  Hayes,  of  Chicago.' 

Directly  in  front  of  the  building  the  lagoon  takes  the  form  of  a  bay,  about 
400  feet  in  width,  From  the  center  of  this  bay  a  grand  landing  and  stair  case 
leads  to  a  terrace  six  feet  above  the  water.  Crossing  this  terrace  other  staircases 
give  access  to  the  ground,  four  feet  above,  on  which,  about  100  feet  back,  the 
building  is  situated.  The  first  terrace  is  designed  in  artistic  flower  beds  and  low 
shrubs,  forming,  together  with  the  creamy-white  balustrades  rising  from  the 
water's  edge,  and  also  in  front  of  the  second  terrace,  a  charming  foreground  for 
the"  fine  edifice.  The  principal  facade  has  an  extreme  length  of  400  feet,  the 
depth  of  the  building  being  half  this  distance.  Italian  renaissance  is  the  style 
selected.  The  main  grouping  consists  of  a  center  pavilion  flanked  at  each  end 
with  corner  pavilions  connected  in  the  first  story  by  open  arcades  in  the  curtains, 
forming  a  shady  promenade  the  whole  length  of  the  structure.  The  first  story  is 
raised  about  ten  feet  from  the  ground  line,  and  a  wide  staircase  leads  to  the  cen- 
ter pavilion.  This  pavilion,  forming  the  main  triple-arched  entrance  with  an 
open  colonnade  in  the  second  story  is  finished  with  a  low  and  beautifully  pro- 
portioned pediment  enriched  with  a  highly  elaborate  bas-relief.  The  corner 
pavilions,  being  like  the  rest  of  the  tuilding,  two  stories  high,  with  a  total  eleva- 
tion of  60   feet,  have    each    an   open  colonnade  added    above  the  main    cornice.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  179 


Here  are  located  the  Hanging  Gardens,  and  also  the  committee-rooms  of  the 
Board  of  Lady  Managers.  A  lobby  40  feet  wide  leads  into  the  open  rotunda,  70 
X65  feet,  reaching  through  the  height  of  the  building  and  protected  by  a  richly 
ornamented  skylight.  This  rotunda  is  surrounded  by  a  two-story  open  arcade, 
as  delicate  and  chaste  in  design  as  the  exterior,  the  whole  having  a  thoroughly 
Italian  court-yard  effect,  admitting  abundance  of  light  to  all  rooms  facing  this 
interior  space. 

In  the  second  story,  above  the  main  entrance  and  curtains,  are  located  ladies' 
parlors,  committee-rooms  and  dressing-rooms,  all  leading  to  the  open  balcony  in 
front,  and  commanding  a  splendid  panorama  of  almost  the  entire  ground.  The 
whole  second  floor  of  the  north  pavilion  incloses  the  great  assembly-room  and 
club-room.  The  first  of  these  is  provided  with  an  elevated  stage  for  the  accom- 
modation of  speakers.  The  south  pavilion  contains  the  model  kitchen,  refresh- 
ment rooms,  reception-rooms,  etc. 

Concerts. — It  is  proposed  to  give  semi-monthly  concerts  in  the  Woman  s 
Building  during  the  six  months  of  the  Exposition,  at  which  only  women  or  girls 
who  are  amateurs,  possessed  of  talent  and  a  high  order  of  musical  ability,  and  who 
have  been  residents  of  America  for  at  least  ten  years,  will  be  permitted  to  appear. 
The  qualifications  are  first  tested  and  approved  by  a  jury  selected  by  the  Woman's 
National  Committee  on  Music  and  satisfactory  to  Theodore  Thomas,  Musical 
Director  of  the  Exposition.  No  musical  progidy  is  admitted  simply  as  such,  nor 
is  the  diploma  of  any  College  or  Conservatory  either  necessary  or  sufficient. 
Each  candidate  is  rated  upon  her  merits,  technical  proficiency  not  alone  being 
considered. 

The  concerts  are  intended  to  provide  a  public  appearance  for  those  amateurs 
of  distinction  who  are  shut  out  from  the  concert  room  of  the  professional,  and 
who,  for  various  reasons,  would  not  wish  to  appear  therein.  Quartettes,  trios, 
either  vocal  or  instrumental,  choral  and  orchestral  organizations  of  women  are  to 
be  heard. 

Sale  of  Exhibits. — The  Decorative  Art  Societies,  Woman's  Exchanges, 
Industrial  and  Educational  Unions,  (which  are  called  the  Bureau  of  Applied 
Arts  from  the  different  States)  and  individuals  are  allowed  to  sell  by  sam- 
ples. No  articles  are  sold  for  removal  previous  to  the  close  of  the  Exposition, 
unless  a  "concession"  for  the  same  has  been  granted  by  the  Committee  on  Ways 
and  Means.  "Concessions''  refer  to  the  sale  of  all  goods  from  which  the  secur- 
ing of  revenue  is  the  object  of  the  lessees. 

Each  society  or  individual  exhibiting  or  selling  their  work  pays  their  pro- 
portion of  the  expenses  of  cases,  clerks,  saleswomen,  etc.  To  provide  for 
these  expenses,  20  per  cent,  is  charged  on  all  sales  where  the  saleswomen  are 
provided  by  the  Management;  5  per  cent,  of  this  is  paid  to  the  Ways  and  Means 
Committee  for  "concessions,"  and  15  per  cent,  is  reserved  as  a  fund  out  of  which 
all  salaries  and  other  expenses  attending  the  sale  of  articles  in  the  salesrooms  in 
the  Woman's  Building  is  paid. 

The- Children's  Building. — Under  the  immediate  auspices  of  the  Board  of 
Lady  Managers  is  the  Children's  Building.  This  is  primarily  an  educational 
exhibit.  A  model  creche  is  shown,  demonstrating  in  a  large,  light  and  airy  room 
the  most  healthful,  comfortable,  and  rational  system  of  dressing  and  caring  for 
young  children.  Short  lectures  are  given  upon  their  food,  clothing,  and  sleeping 
arrangements,  and  in  connection  with  the  creche  is  an  exhibition  of  .infants' 
clothing  of  all  nations  and  times,  their  cradles,  and  other  furniture  As  the  child 
grows  and  its  mental  faculties  develop,  the  kindergarten  succeeds  the  creche. 
This  department  of  child-life  is  demonstrated  in  the  most  complete  manner  by 
the  International  Kindergarten  Association.  The  kindergarten  under  their  man- 
agement is  fitted  up  in  the  most  attractive  manner.  All  the  latest  apparatus 
necessary  to  the  best  exposition  of  the  work  is  provided.  Closely  allied  to  the 
kindergarten  is  the  kitchengarden,  where  classes  of  little  folks  are  taught  the 
useful  arts  of  homekeeping.    In  so  interesting  and  delightful  a  manner  are  sweep-

ing,  dusting,  bedmaking,  and  cooking  taught,  that  what  might  otherwise  be   an 
irksome  task  to  children  becomes  a  most  delightful  recreation. 

For  older  children  is  a  slojd,  where  wood-carving  is  exhibited.  Physical 
development  is  illustrated  by  the  North  American  Turner-Bund.  Here  many  a 
lad  is  inspired  to  seek  after  that  physical  perfection  that  was  the  pride  of  the 
Greeks  and  Romans.  A  library  containing  a  full  supply  of  children's  literature 
has  been  provided.  In  it  are  found  the  books  of  all  lands,  and  in  all  languages, 
their  newspapers,  periodicals,  etc. 

Pennsylvania  has  equipped  a  department  in  the  Children's  Building  showing 
the  wonderful  progress  that  has  been  made  in  teaching  young  deaf  mutes  to 
speak.  Miss  Mary  Garrett,  secretary  of  the  Home  for  Teaching  Deaf  Mutes  to 
speak,  is  in  charge  of  this  department.     Daily  demonstrations  are  given. 

A  department  of  Public  Comfort  in  connection  with  the  Children's  Building, 
is  conducted  especially  for  the  benefit  of  children.  Infants  and  small  children 
are  received  and  placed  in  the  care  of  competent  nurses,  who  provide  for 
.all  their  wants  while  their  mothers  are  visiting  the  various  departments  of  the 
Exposition. 

For  the  amusement  of  visiting  children  there  is  a  large  playground  on  the 
roof;  this  is  inclosed  with  a  strong  wire  netting,  so  the  children  will  be  perfectly 
safe.  The  playground  is  very  attractive,  ornamented  with  vines  and  flowers. 
Within  the  inclosure  butterflies  and  birds  flit  about  unconfined.  Here,  under 
cover,  are  exhibited  toys  of  all  nations,  from  the  rude  playthings  of  Esquimaux 
children  to  the  wonderful  toys  which  at  once  instruct  and  amuse.  These  toys 
are  used  to  entertain  the  children. 

The  building  has  an  assembly-room,  containing  rows  of  little  chairs,  and  a 
platform  from  which  stereopticon  lectures  are  given  to  the  older  boys  and  girls, 
about  foreign  countries,  their  languages,  manners,  and  customs,  and  important 
facts  connected  with  their  history 

In  the  Woman's  Building  will  be  found  a  well  filled  library  of  printed  works 
and  original  manuscripts  in  many  languages,  by  women  writers. 

The  work  of  the  Board  for  the  past  two  years  has  been  prosecuted  with  the 
utmost  harmony  and  good  feeling,  and  the  purposes  have  been  admirably  carried 
out.  It  marks  the  first  participation  of  women  in  an  important  national  enter- 
prise, and  has  prepared  an  object  lesson  to  show  the  progress  women  have 
made  in  many  countries  of  the  world,  exhibiting  the  increased  useful- 
ness that  has  resulted  from  the  enlargement  of  their  opportunites.  Representa- 
tive collections  have  been  made  from  the  States  and  Territories  and  from  such 
foreign  countries,  for  instance,  as  England,  France,  Italy,  Germany,  Austria,  Rus- 
sia, Belgium,  Holland,  Sweden,  Norway,  Greece,  Denmark,  Siam,  Japan,  Alge- 
ria, Cape  Colony,  Cuba,  Mexico,  Nicaragua,  the  Argentine  Republic,  Jamaica, 
Ceylon,  Brazil,  Spain,  Colombia,  Ecuador,  Venezuela,  Panama  and  the  Sandwich 
Islands.  These  give  an  adequate  idea  of  the  extent  and  value  of  what  is  being 
done  by  women  in  the  arts,  sciences  and  industries.  In  the  general  buildings, 
where  the  competitive  exhibits  are  placed,  the  exhibit  of  women's  work  from 
that  of  men  is  not  separated,  for  the  reason  that,  as  women  are  working  side  by 
side  with  men  in  the  industries  of  the  world,  it  would  have  been  practically  im- 
possible, in  most  cases,  to  divide  the  finished  result  of  their  combined  work;  nor 
would  women  be  satisfied  with  prizes  unless  they  were  awarded  without  distinction 
as  to  sex  and  as  the  result  of  fair  competition  with  the  best  work  shown.  The 
Board  is  striving  for  excellence,  and  desires  recognition  only  for  demonstrated 
merit.  In  order,  however,  that  the  enormous  amount  of  work  being  done  by 
women  may  be  apppreciated,  a  statement  has  been  procured  and  shown  with 
every  exhibit,  stating  the  proportion  of  woman's  work  that  enters  into  it. 

Many  new  avenues  of  employment  are  thus  shown  to  women  breadwinners. 
The  most  brilliant  achievements  of  women  from  every  country  and  in  every  line 
of  work  are  shown  in  the  exhibits  of  household  economics,  needlework, 
drawing,  etching,    painting,    pottery    sculpture,    carving    in   wood  or  ivory,  her

work  in  all  decorative  arts,  manufactures,  inventions  and  other  articles  of  her 
production  ;  proofs  of  her  work  in  the  professions,  in  journalism  and  the 
making  of  books,  in  musical  and  dramatic  art,  in  religious,  literary  and 
scientific  societies,  in  the  organization  and  management  of  temperance, 
hygienic  and  other  reformatory  work,  as  well  as  the  art  of  cooking  and  the 
preparation  of  food,  including  the  grinding  of  grain  and  the  making  of  bread  ; 
the  curing  of  skins  and  furs  and  the  shaping  of  them  into  garments  ;  the  inven- 
tion and  use  of  needles  and  the  twisting  of  various  fibers  into  threads  for  sewing 
and  knitting  ;  the  weaving  of  textile  fabrics;  the  use  of  vegetable  dyes;  the  art 
of  basket-making;  the  modeling  of  clay  into  jars  and  vases  for  domestic  use, 
and  also  their  ornamentation  and  decoration.  Besides  the  National  Board  of 
Lady  Managers,  several  of  the  States  and  Territories  have  their  own  boards  of 
women,  wh^  ook  after  women's  work  in  their  own  respective  domaines,  but  all 
co-operating  with  the  National  Board. 

[Mrs.  Potter  Palmer,  before  her  marriage,  had  acquired  fame  as  the  beautiful  Bertha 
Honore.  She  was  born  in  Louisville,  Ky.,  her  father  being  of  French  descent  and  her  mother 
belonging  to  one  of  the  oldest  and  most  aristocratic  Southern  families.  Her  childhood  and  early 
girlhood  were  spent  in  Louisville,  and  there  also  her  education  was  begun.  According  to  an  old 
Southern  custom,  her  education  was  finished  in  a  convent,  the  one  selected  being  near  Baltimore,. 
Md.  From  the  quiet  of  the  convent  Miss  Honore  stepped  into  a  field  of  conquest.  Her  mental 
acquirements  and  inherited  grace  and  refinement  soon  gave  her  an  enviable  position  in  society. 
In  1871  she  married  Potter  Palmer,  one  of  Chicago's  representative  and  wealthy  citizens,  and  has 
since  then  resided  in  Chicago.  She  has  traveled  much,  and  has  a  wide  acquaintance  among  both 
the  wise  and  fashionable  people  of  two  continents.  Her  contributions  to  city  and  state  charities, 
while  large,  are  surpassed  by  the  good  she  privately  does.  Mrs.  Potter  Palmer  is  well  calculated 
to  adorn  and  fill  the  office  which  she  now  occupies,  and  her  known  energy,  combined  with  her 
acknowledged  executive  ability,  presaged  that  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers,  under  her  guidance, 
will  more  than  accomplish  all  that  the  National  Commission  has  seen  fit  to  place  in  their  charge. 
And  all  expectations  in  that  respect  have  been  more  than  fulfilled.  Under  her  administration 
the  woman's  department  has  attained  proportions  which  form  one  of  the  most  wonderful  devel- 
opments of  the  Exposition.] 


MRS.  POTTER  PALMER, 

PRESIDENT   BOARD   OF   LADY   MANAGERS. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  183 


BUREAU  OF  PUBLIC  COMFORT. 

THIS  bureau  was  established  by  the  Directors  of  the  Exposition  for  the  pur- 
pose of  contributing,  as  far  as  possible,  to  the  convenience  and  comfort  of 
visitors.  In  several  of  the  large  buildings  located  in  different  parts  of  the 
grounds  are  spacious  reception  and  waiting  rooms,  parlors  for  ladies  and  chil- 
dren— all  comfortably  furnished,  for  the  enjoyment  of  visitors.  The  bureau  has 
provided  lavatories  and  retiring  rooms,  polite  attendants  and  all  necessary 
means  for  constituting  an  attractive  headquarters  for  the  people — desirable 
resorts  and  resting  places  free  of  charge  to  visitors.  Maintained  in  connection: 
with  these  rooms,  for  the  use  of  visitors,  at  moderate  charges,  are  parcel  rooms 
for  checking  and  care  of  coats,  wraps,  bundles,  handbags,  etc.;  barber  shops  and 
boot-blacking  ;  a  good  service  of  lunch  counters  and  lunch  tables ;  also  stands 
for  the  sale  of  newspapers,  reading  matter,  stationery  and  postage  stamps,  toilet 
articles  and  other  items  of  common  every-day  need.  Attendants  are  stationed 
in  each  reception  room,  to  reply,  as  far  as  possible,  to  all  inquiries  for  general  or 
local  information.  Registers  for  visitors  are  maintained,  in  which  those  desiring 
may  enter  their  names,  home  and  temporary  address  zvitlioiit  charge.  The  pro- 
vision for  convenience  of  visitors  also  embrace  telegraph  office,  telephone 
office,  messenger  service,  stenographers  and  typewriters.  The  central  idea  has 
been  to  furnish  suitable  free  accommodations  within  the  Exposition  Grounds, 
where  all  are  welcome  to  rest  from  the  fatigues  of  sight-seeing,  and  to  cater  to 
the  personal  needs  of  visitors,  at  moderate  cost. 

For  some  time  previous  to  the  opening  of  the  Exposition  the  Bureau  main- 
tained (and  now  continues)  a  hotel  and  rooming  department  through  which  it 
co-operates  with  the  citizens  and  householders  of  Chicago  and  vicinity  in  secur- 
ing suitable  and  desirable  lodging  accommodations  at  fair  and  reasonable  rates 
for  expected  visitors.  The  city  has  been  subdivided  into  districts  and  sections, 
and  an  official  register  prepared,  in  which  parties  having  furnished  rooms  to  let 
may  have  them  listed,  under  a  contract  with  this  department,  giving  full  descrip- 
tion and  prices  thereof,  the  rooms  being  always  first  subjected  to  inspection. 

Under  this  landlord's  contract  these  rooms  are  placed  in  the  hands  of  the 
department  for  rental,  at  the  prices  named  by  the  landlord,  with  authority  to 
let  the  same,  or  any  of  them,  from  day  to  day,  or  longer,  and  to  collect  the  rent 
therefor  in  advance ,  in  the  name  of  said  landlord;  and  upon  receipt  thereof  to 
issue  to  the  lessee  or  prospective  tenant  a  rental  certificate,  which  secures  to  the 
holder  of  said  certificate,  the  rooms  engaged  for  the  term  and  date  selected. 

There  is  no  ground  for  rumors  which  may  be  circulated  that  visitors  to  the 
Fair  are  made  the  victims  of  exhorbitant  charges.  Competition  is  so  extensive 
and  sharp  as  to  prevent  it.  One  who  climbs  to  the  top  of  one  of  the  Exposition 
buildings  and  surveys  the  territory  lying  to  the  north,  west  and  south  of  Jackson 
park  can  easily  believe  this  statement.  There,  and  indeed  in  all  parts  of  the  city, 
the  amount  of  building  recently  completed  and  now  under  way  is  simply  aston- 
ishing. Hundreds  of  structures  to  meet  World's  Fair  demands  have  been  erected 
within  the  past  few  months.  Some  of  the  new  hotels  are  large  enough  to  accom- 
modate several  thousand  guests  each,  and  living  accommodations  for  not  less 
than  300,000  strangers  have  been  provided  for  immediately  contiguous  to  the 
Exposition,  to  say  nothing  of  the  numerous  hotels,  boarding  houses,  lodging 
houses,  restaurants  and  cafes  in  every  part  of  the  city  and  suburbs. 

The  Chicago  summers  are  known  far  and  wide  as  successful  rivals  of  those 
of  many  of  the  pretentious  resorts  in  mountain  and  at  seaside.  The  tempera- 
ture in  summer  is  invariably  cool,  and  a  conspicuous  blessing  are  the  delightfully 
cool  nights.  If  the  weather  is  ever  unpleasantly  warm  it  lasts  at  most  only  a  few 
hours,  a  cool  breeze  from  the  lake  invariably  dissipating  it.  The  certainty  that 
hot  weather  does  not  prevail  for  any  length  of  time  is  a  most  advantageous 
teature. 


184  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

An  abundance  of  drinking  water,  the  best  supplied  to  any  great  city  in  the 
world,  is  provided  free  to  all.  The  water  is  either  filtered  or  sterilized.  The  pro- 
cess of  sterilzation  is  accomplished  by  boiling  the  .water.  Months  ago  the 
Exposition  company  made  a  contract  for  something  less  than  3,000  drinking 
fountains.  The  fountains  have  each  four  faucets,  so  that  12,000  people  may 
drink  at  the  same  time.  These  fountains  are  distributed  all  over  the  grounds. 
Ample  provisions  for  seating  is  made  without  charge.  About  1,500  toilet  rooms 
and  closets  are  located  at  convenient  points  in  the  buildings  and  about  the 
grounds  and  they  are  absolutely  free  to  the  public.  This  is  as  large  a  number  in 
proportion  to  the  estimated  attendance  as  has  ever  been  provided  in  any  Exposi- 
tion. In  addition  to  these  there  are  also  nearly  an  equal  number  of  lavatories  and 
toilet  rooms  of  a  costly  and  handsome  character  as  exhibits,  for  the  use  of  which 
a  charge  of  five  cents  is  made.  Free  medical  and  emergency  hospital  service  is 
provided  on  the  grounds  by  the  Exposition  management.  Imposition  or  extor- 
tion of  any  description  will  not  be  tolerated.  A  special  building  for  the  use  of 
the  Bureau  will  be  found  at  the  north  end  of  the  park.  At  the  south  end,  in  the 
Terminal  Railway  station,  the  bureau  has  been  given  a  great  number  of  rooms  in 
which  are  furnished  free  accommodations.  At  the  southeast  corner  of  the  park, 
in  the  Casino  Building,  more  room  has  been  reserved  for  the  same  bureau.  In 
each  of  these  buildings  are  cheap  lunch  counters,  checking-rooms,  etc.,  and  tables 
where  those  who  feel  so  inclined  may  sit  and  eat  the  luncheon  which  they  bring 
to  the  park.  The  concessionaires  who  have  the  restaurants  on  the  grounds  are 
subject  to  the  supervision  of  the  Exposition  officials.  The  prices  charged  for 
food  are  approved  by  the  authorities,  and  in  this  case  the  persons  to  fix  the  prices 
are  the  members  of  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee.  Extortionate  charges  and 
very  poor  service  were  imposed  upon  the  public  by  many  of  these  restaurant 
concessionaires  at  the  opening,  but  there  was  such  universal  and  well  grounded 
complaint  that  official  regulation  had  to  be  adopted  toward  these  greedy  and 
unscrupulous  vendors  of  food.  A  great  many  visitors  take  their  lunch  with  them, 
and  they  find  that  this  is  by  far  the  cheaper  and  more  satisfactory  plan. 

In  every  public  building  on  the  grounds  there  is  abundant  convenience  for 
checking  packages.  The  Manufactures  Building  has  eight  check-rooms;  the 
Fine  Arts  Building,  twelve;  the  Electrical  Building,  four;  the  Agricultural  Build- 
ing, two;  the  Fisheries  Building,  two;  and  other  Exposition  buildings  from  one 
to  four  in  proportion  to  their  various  needs.  The  terminal  railroad  station  has 
four  check-rooms,  the  Casino  is  amply  supplied,  and  all  State  buildings  are 
furnished  as  their  officers  may  require.  These  parcel  checking-rooms  vary  in  size 
from  6x8  feet  to  59x15.  All  check-rooms  have  a  series  of  pigeonholes  on  the 
walls,  each  compartment  being  eighteen  inches  in  each  of  its  three  dimensions. 
The  checks  are  manila  tags,  machine  numbered,  and  divided  into  three  parts, 
after  the  manner  of  the  usual  package  checks  in  railroad  depots.  A  charge  of 
10  cents  is  made  for  each  day  or  fraction  of  a  day  upon  delivery  of  the  parcel. 
On  the  grounds  there  are  about  20,000  compartments' for  the  reception  and  care 
of  packages  and  more  than  100  attendants.  Besides  this  checking  system  a 
plan  of  transferring  baggage  has  been  instituted  whereby  a  visitor  may  leave  a 
bundle,  for  example,  in  the  check-room  of  the  Forestry  Building  and  find  it 
afterward  at  the  railway  station  upon  presentation  of  one  of  the  colored  transfer 
checks.  Facilities  are  also  provided,  for  delivering  parcels  from  any  shop  or 
booth  on  the  grounds  at  any  one  of  the  regular  checking  stations.  For  this  pur- 
pose another  different  style  of  check  is  provided.  These  deliveries  are  made 
either  specially  on  short  notice  or  as  routine  work,  the  charges  to  be  regulated 
accordingly.

DEPARTMENT  O— PUBLICITY  AND  PROMOTION. 

IT  is  not  exaggeration  to  say  that  the  Department  of  Publicity  and  Promotion 
has  fully  established  the  fact  that  its  existence  has  been  essential  to  the 
success  of  the  Exposition.  It  has  been  an  absolutely  necessary  factor.  Chicago 
having  secured  the  Exposition,  those  upon  whom  it  devolved  to  organize  and 
carry  forward  the  great  enterprise  were  confronted  with  a  number  of  discourag- 
ing facts.  Certain  quarters  of  the  country  (candidates  for  the  Exposition  in  the 
beginning),  smarting  under  defeat  and  already  beginning  to  grow  jealous  of  the 
marvelously  prosperous  western  rival,  were  hostile.  In  that  hostility  other  sec- 
tions shared  to  a  greater  or  less  extent.  Again  other  sections  were  far  from  united 
in  the  belief  that  Chicago  was  the  best  place  in  America  for  holding  a  world's 
fair.  Europe,  and  indeed  nearly  all  foreign  countries,  were  accustomed 'to  get 
their  impressions  of  American  affairs  from  beaten  paths.  It  followed  that  Chi- 
cago started  in  upon  the  great  task  with  nearly  the  entire  world  hostile,  or 
skeptical  and  indifferent.  At  the  time  Chicago  was  selected  as  the  location  of 
the  Exposition,  parts  of  the  English  press  and  people  promptly  disparaged  the 
importance  of  the  enterprise  because  of  its  location,  and  dismissed  the   subject

phia, a  journalist  of  extended  experience  not  only  in  that  city,  but  in  New  York, 
Washington,  and  several  others.  He  enjoyed  a  wide  acquaintance  with  men  and 
and  had  the  confidence  of  the  press  throughout  the  country.  He  was  relied  affairs, 
upon  to  conduct  a  campaign  which  should  have  for  its  object  the  conquering  of 
all  hostility  to  Chicago  and  the  Exposition,  and  the  turning  of  indifference  into 
enthusiasm. 

Major  Handy  organized  his  department  somewhat  on  the  lines  of  a  gigantic 
news  agency.  He  recruited  his  assistants  almost  entirely  from  those  having 
extended  experience  in  newspaper  work.  In  January,  1891,  the  campaign  was 
begun.  Circular  letters  were  sent  out  to  every  newspaper  throughout  the  civil- 
ized world  informing  them  that  the  department  would  begin  sending  out  news

matter  relating  to  the  Exposition,  and  inviting  them  to  make  such  use  of  the 
whole  or  part  of  it  as  they  might  feel  disposed.  They  were  requested  also  to 
place  the  department  on  their  exchange  list.  It  was  expressly  stated  that  the 
news  matter  would  be  furnished  gratis.  The  response  was  very  generous, 
though  in  some  sections  of  the  United  States  and  in  some  foreign  countries 
much  apathy  and  indifference  was  manifested.  The  press  of  France  assumed  a 
somewhat  different  attitude.  Some  of  the  journals  of  that  country  wanted  to  be 
subsidized,  and  were  not  backward  in  letting  it  be  known.  They  were  met  with 
courteous  refusal.  f 

Almost  the  first  thing  attempted  by  the  department  was  to  convince  the 
world  that  Chicago  was  no  "  mean  city."  Articles  specially  prepared  were  sent 
out  setting  forth  the  wonderful  growth  of  this  city,  and  no  opportunity  was 
omitted  to  convey  the  impression  that  Chicago  had  determined  to  make  the 
Exposition  the  crowning  success  of  all  its  accomplishments.  Then  the  broad 
scope  of  the  Exposition,  as  planned,  was  described,  and  special  emphasis  was 
made,  in  matter  sent  abroad,  of  the  fact  that  it  was  an  enterprise,  not  of  Chicago 
alone,  but  of  the  United  States  government,  being  created  and  located  by  Act  of 
Congress,  and  being  aided  by  appropriations  from  the  government  treasury. 
This  was  followed  by  articles  giving  facts  and  figures  showing  the  importance  to 
foreign  countries  of  the  American  market,  and  the  necessity  of  exhibiting  at  the 
Exposition  if  they  hoped  to  retain  the  trade  they  already  had  in  it  and  to  keep 
pace  with  their  competitors  in  occupying  it  as  it  rapidly  expanded.  The  com- 
manding position  occupied  by  Chicago  with  reference  to  the  American  market 
for  foreign  goods  was  duly  commented  upon,  as  was  also  the  fact  that  the  objec- 
tions to  Chicago  as  a  place  of  exhibit  because  of  its  being  a  thousand  miles 
inland,  which  were  at  first  urged,  were  without  real  force,  and  that  on  the  con- 
trary, for  many  specified  reasons,  the  location,  because  of  its  being  central  with 
reference  to  the  great  industries  of  this  country,  would  tend  greatly  to  enhance 
the  importance  of  the  Exposition,  and  consequently  as  a  place  especially  advan- 
tageous for  the  display  of  foreign  exhibits. 

Closely  following  the  sending  out  of  articles  on  the  subjects  referred  to  came 
the  information  directly  concerning  Exposition  affairs  themselves,  which  began 
rapidly  to  develop.  The  meetings  of  the  National  Commission,  the  adoption  of 
the  classification,  the  organization  of  the  different  departments,  the  selection  of 
architects,  the  splendidly  located  site,  the  raising  of  millions  by  Chicago,  the 
plans  and  descriptions  of  those  magnificent  buildings,  the  rapidly  growing  enthusi- 
asm over  the  Exposition  throughout  the  United  States,  the  successive  appropria- 
tions by  the  different  States,  and  the  acceptance,  one  after  another,  by  foreign 
nations  of  the  President's  invitation  to  participate  in  the  Exposition — all  of  these 
and  innumerable  matters  of  lesser  importance  were  sent  forth,  as  they  occurred. 
For  months  after  the  Exposition  was  located,  practically  all  news  relating  to  it 
originated  in  Chicago,  and  the  Department  of  Publicity  and  Promotion  kept  the 
press  of  the  world  informed  of  it.  The  press  of  Chicago,  from  first  to  last  loyal 
to  the  undertaking,  performed  a  very  important  part  in  the  same  service.  But  it 
was  through  the  news-letters  sent  out  by  the  department  that  the  press  at  a  dis- 
tance from  Chicago  gained  information  of  what  was  going  on  in  Exposition 
affairs.  It  followed  that  fo  a  time  nearly  all  the  Exposition  news  that  was 
published  at  all  was  what  the  department  disseminated.  Later,  when  the  legis- 
lative bodies  of  the  States  and  of  foreign  countries  began  to  make  appropriations 
and  take  other  action;  when  commissioners  were  selected,  when  intending  exhib- 
itors began  to  divulge  their  plans;  when,  in  short,  the  world  began  to  participate, 
then  centers  where  Exposition  news  originated  began  to  develop  all  over  the 
world.  As  this  progressed  it  became  a  part  of  the  work  of  the  department  to 
keep  all  sections  of  the  world  posted  upon  what  all  other  sections  were  doing  in 
the  way  of  participating  in  the  Exposition.  The  department  became  a  sort  of 
clearing-house  for  Exposition  news,  besides  sending  forth,  as  from  the  first,  the 
news  as  it  kept  developing  at  Chicago. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  187 

In  addition  to  the  news-letters  referred  to  the  department  sent  out  electro- 
type cuts  of  the  various  Exposition  buildings  and  of  the  principal  officials, 
together  with  descriptions  and  biographical  sketches.  These  were  given  almost 
universal  publication  by  the  press  in  all  parts  of  the  world,  and  had  a  very  per- 
ceptible effect  in  increasing  the  interest  felt  in  the  Exposition.  Many  thousands 
of  fine  colored  lithographs,  notably  one  of  a  bird's-eye  view  of  the  Exposition, 
were  also  sent  to  hotels,  libraries,  steamship  offices,  public  buildings,  prominent 
manufacturers,  agents,  business  houses  and  others  in  all  parts  of  the  world.  The 
result  was  that  the  world  came  to  know  that  the  Exposition  was  being  built  on  a 
scale  much  more  magnificent  than  had  been  any  of  its  predecessors.  Because  of  the 
lithographs  and  cuts  of  buildings  greater  interest  was  felt  in  the  news-letters. 
The  two  complemented  each  other  in  winning  the  favor  of  the  world  toward  the 
Exposition.  Besides  what  has  been  mentioned,  there  have  been  sent  out  by  the 
department  many  thousands  of  pamphlets  prepared  by  its  staff  of  writers  on 
various  phases  of  Exposition  work,  pamphlets  giving  the  rules  and  regulations 
of  each  of  the  thirteen  great  exhibit  departments,  copies  of  the  general  rules  of  the 
Exposition,  official  proclamations  and  announcements  of  the  President  and  direct- 
or-general, circulars  of  the  various  governing  bodies — the  National  Commission, 
the  Local  Directory,  the  Board  of  Lady  Managers,  the  Council  of  Administration, 
the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary,  etc.  All  of  these  have  been  sent  to  some  50,000 
different  addresses  in  all  parts  of  the  world.  A  vast  amount  of  work  of  a  special 
nature  has  also  been  done  by  the  department.  Articles  on  various  branches  of 
Exposition  work  and  on  Exposition  affairs  in  general,  ranging  all  the  way  from 
1,000  to  40,000  words  in  length,  have  been  prepared  in  the  department  specially 
for  particular  newspapers,  magazines  and  other  publications.  A  large  number  of 
papers  have  been  supplied  regularly  every  week,  each  with  its  own  exclusive  arti- 
cle. Others  have  been  furnished  with  such  articles  as  they  have  requested.  Then, 
too,  the  answering  of  thousands  of  inquiries  has  been  no  insignificant  part  of  the 
work  of  the  department.  Many  of  these  inquiries  have  been  very  comprehen- 
sive and  have  required  much  care  in  the  preparation  of  replies.  For  example  a 
State  commissioner  in  Oregon  asked:  "What  are  the  States  which  have  made  no 
appropriation  doing  .toward  participating  in  the  Fair?"  The  department  fur- 
nished him  with  the  information,  telling  him  that  in  one  State  money  was  being 
raised  by  the  stock  subscription  plan;  in  another  the  women  were  holding  fairs 
and  raising  the  necessary  funds;  in  another  prominent  citizens  had  contributed 
what  was  necessary,  relying  on  the  next  session  of  the  Legislature  to  reimburse 
them  in  part;  in  another  the  counties  were  appropriating  money;  in  another  the 
State  Agricultural  Society  had  undertaken  the  wTork  of  collecting  an  exhibit  that 
wrould  creditably  represent  the  State,  and  so  on  through  all  the  States.  Thus  the 
department  has  been  assumed  to  be  an  encyclopaedia  of  information  about  every 
phase  of  Exposition  affairs. 

This  part  of  the  work  could  not  be  successfully  attended  to  had  there  not 
been  system  throughout  the  department.  Thousands  of  newspapers  and  other 
publications  have  been  received  regularly  from  their  publishers.  These  have 
been  carefully  read  and  all  Exposition  matter  clipped  out.  A  record  has  been 
kept  of  the  proportion  represented  by  matter  sent  out  in  the  regular  news-letters 
of  the  department.  These  clippings,  classified  by  States  and  countries,  have 
been  pasted  in  great  scrap-books,  which  now  have  run  up  into  the  hundreds  in 
number.  The  department  has  also  had  the  service  of  several  clipping  bureaus, 
and  thus  had  clippings  from  thousands  of  papers  not  on  its  exchange  list.  These 
clippings  have  been  similarly  classified  and  pasted  in  scrap-books.  Thus  the 
department  has  kept  itself  posted  on  what  the  press  of  the  world  has  said  of  the 
Exposition.  Misstatements  and  misrepresentations  have  been  carefully  noted 
and,  if  serious,  the  department  has  taken  pains  to  head  them  off  by  sending  out 
authorized  corrections.  It  has  been  able  to  judge  how  extensively  its  own  mat- 
ter, which  it  sends  out,  has  been  published,  and  it  can  be  truthfully  said  that  the 
proportion  has  been  remarkably  great. 


188  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

For  the  sending  out  of  its  news  letters  and  other  matter  the  department  has 
had  in  operation  a  mailing  service  similar  to  that  of  a  great  newspaper.  The 
mail  list  embraces  some  50,000  separate  addresses.  Of  these  about  20,000  are 
those  of  newspapers,  and  the  others  include  State  officials,  State  and  foreign 
World's  Fair  officials,  consuls,  foreign  ministers,  public  libraries,  colleges,  prom- 
inent manufacturers,  commercial  agents,  transportation  agents,  prominent  citi- 
zens, etc.  To  all  of  these  from  one  to  a  dozen  pieces  of  mail  matter  have  been 
sent  each  week,  including  news-letters,  pamphlets,  circulars,  lithographs,  cuts  of 
buildings,  etc.  At  times  the  postage  bill  of  the  department  has  run  as  high  as 
$1,000  a  day.  During  1892  the  department  sent  out  to  each  one  of  its  50,000 
addresses  articles  aggregating  650,000  words  in  round  numbers.  Of  these  430,000 
were  in  English  and  220,000  in  German,  French,  Spanish  and  other  foreign  lan- 
guages, chiefly  in  those  named.  A  large  quantity  of  matter,  however,  has  been 
issued  in  Portuguese,  Swedish,  Italian,  Danish,  Russian,  etc.  In  the  same  period 
there  have  been  sent  out  2,300,000  printed  documents,  rules,  etc.,  and  8,000 
electrotypes.  The  department  has  a  record  of  over  60,000,000  words  in  English 
alone,  having  been  published  in  1892.  This  would  be  between  40,000  and  50,000 
ordinary  newspaper  columns.  Of  this  vast  amount  over  20,000,000  words,  or 
fully  one-third,  has  been  of  matter  prepared  and  sent  out  by  the  Department  of 
Publicity  and  Promotion.  The  record  for  1891  was  but  little  below  that  for  1892,. 
and  the  proportion  of  department  matter  published  was  greater.  More  than 
100,000  lithographs  were  sent  out  in  189 1. 

Another  important  branch  of  this  department's  work  has  been  supplying 
Exposition  news  daily  to  the  press  of  Chicago  and  to  the  Associated  and  United 
press.  Several  times  each  day  memoers  of  the  department  staff  have  gone 
through  all  the  Exposition  departments  and  offices,  examined  correspondence, 
and  interviewed  visiting  commissioners,  exhibitors  and  others,  and  from  them 
gleaned  the  news  of  the  day.  This  has  been  type-written  and  supplied  to  rep- 
resentatives of  the  different  Chicago  papers  and  press  associations.  The  news 
service  in  foreign  languages  has  been  very  extensive.  Each  country  has  been 
supplied  bounteously  with  Exposition  news  in  its  own  language.  The  same 
members  of  the  staff  who  have  furnished  the  news  in  foreign  languages  have  also 
done  a  great  part  of  the  translating  necessary  in  carrying  on  the  voluminous 
correspondence  of  the  different  departments  with  foreign  exhibitors  and   others. 

It  fell  to  the  lot  of  this  department  along  with  its  other  duties  to  look 
after  visiting  newspaper  men,  furnish  them  with  desired  information  and  facili- 
ties for  preparing  special  matter  relating  to  the  Exposition.  It  is  the  universal 
verdict  that  never  at  any  great  celebration  have  the  press  representatives  been 
better  cared  for  and  afforded  more  complete  facilities  for  doing  their  work  than 
they  were  at  the  Exposition  dedication  exercises  in  October,  1892.  All  of  the 
great  dailies  had  from  one  to  halfa  dozen  representatives  there.  Almost  every 
paper  of  standing  was  represented,  and  many  foreign  journalists  were  present. 
About  2,500  newspaper  men  were  in  attendance.  The  best  seats  in  the  building 
were  reserved  for  them  and  their  friends.  Nearly  3,000  were  reserved  for  that 
purpose.  Each  correspondent  was  furnished  with  printed  proofs  of  all  the 
speeches  and  even  of  the  prayers.  In  an  adjoining  room  were  fifty  typewTriters 
with  machines  ready  to  transcribe  whatever  the  correspondents  might  choose  to 
dictate,  and  close  by  were  almost  as  many  telegraph  operators  to  send  the 
"copy"  to  the  various  newspapers  represented. 

During  the  few  weeks  just  preceding  the  opening  of  the  Exposition  the 
department  has  been  perfecting  arrangements  whereby  the  accommodations  and 
facilities  forthe  newspaper  reporters  and  correspondents  should  be  as  complete  at 
the  opening  and  all  through  the  Exposition  as  they  were  at  the  dedication  exer- 
cises. Three  floors  in  the  northwest  pavilion  of  the  Administration  Building 
constitute  the  newspaper  headquarters.  Generally  speaking  one  floor  is  occu- 
pied by  the  department  offices  one  by  the  Chicago  press,  and  one  by  the  outside 
press,  foreign  press  and  file  rooms.     Desk  room,  typewriting  machines  and  tele-

graphic  facilities  are  provided  in  abundance.  The  preparation  of  passes  and  the 
issuance  of  them  to  press  representatives  who  were  entitled  to  receive  them  has 
also  been  accomplished  by  the  department,  and  as  may  be  easily  imagined  it  has 
been  no  small  task 

While  all  this  has  been  carried  on  "the  department  has  been  engaged  for  a 
time  in  the  preparation  of  the  Official  Catalogue.  This  has  been  a  work  stupend- 
ous beyond  the  conception  of  any  one  uninformed  in  such  matters.  The  collec- 
tion of  an  infinite  amount  of  detailed  information  from  many  thousand  sources 
has  been  necessary,  as  well  as  its  proper  classification  by  departments,  groups 
and  classes. 

The  varied  and  extensive  work  which  has  fallen  to  the  lot  of  the  Department 
of  Publicity  and  Promotion  is  not  all  indicated  even  by  what  has  been  alluded  to 
above.  In  conjunction  with  the  great  dailies  of  Chicago  the  department 
publishes  an  eight-page  daily  newspaper  on  the  grounds  during  the  Exposition. 
Three  pages  are  edited  exclusively  by  the  department,  each  one  of  five  Chicago 
dailies  having  charge  of  one  of  the  other  pages.  This  paper  is  published  from 
exhibit  presses  in  Machinery  Hall. 

[Moses^  Purnell  Handy  was  born  in  the  State  of  Missouri,  but  is  virtually  a  Virginian,  his 
father,  a  Presbyterian  minister,  having  removed  to  the  old  Dominion  while  the  son  was  yet  an 
infant:  and  it  was  in  the  traditions,  of  that  State  that  the  latter  was  reared  and  educated,  and  to 
her  service  that  he  gave  his  allegiance  when  the  contest  between  the  sections  culminated  in  an 
appeal  to  arms.  The  horrors  of  conflict  fell  first  upon  the  border  States,  particularly  upon  that 
portion  of  Virginia  contiguous  to  the  Potomac,  in  which  the  Handys  were  living;  the  father 
although  a  minister  of  the  gospel  and  a  man  of  peace,  was  an  early  victim  to  the  ardor  of  his 
convictions  and  the  ill-considered  servity  of  an  inexperienced  Federal  officer.  He  was  arrested, 
thrown  into  a  military  prison;  the  home  was  wrecked;  the  family  scattered;  and  at  the  age  of 
seventeen  the  young  Moses  was  cast  upon  his  own  resources.  At  the  age  of  seventeen  he  entered 
the  Confederate  army,  was  assigned  to  the  staff  of  General  Stevens  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant, 
and  served  until  the  surrender  of  Lee  p^.  an  end  to  the  struggle.  Out  of  the;  adventures  which 
befell  the  youthful  soldier  during  those  years  of  exciting  experience  grew  the  first  achievement  in 
that  line  which  was  to  become  his  cherished  profession.  His  first  literary  venture,  consisting  of 
a  series  of  articles  descriptive  of  incidents  of  foray  and  battle,  appeared  in  the  Watchman  then 
conducted  by  Dr.  Deems.  Having  thus  "seen  himself  in  print,"  the  path  of  future  effort  was 
irrevocably  determined.  The  journalistic  instinct  was  in  full  pulse  and  vigor  only  seeking  a 
channel  in  which  to  vent  itself.  The  boy  now  called  on  Dr.  Converse,  editor  of  the  Christian 
Observer,  then  published  at  Richmond,  and  said  he  must  have  work.  The  field  was  not  promis- 
ing, but  with  characteristic  perseverance  he  held  on  until  at  last  (as  to  such  resolute  spirits  it 
always  does)  the  opportunity  came.  In  the  summer  of  1867  Mr.  Wilson,  candidate  for  Vice- 
President,  made  a  canvass  in  Virginia  and  was  announced  to  speak  near  Richmond.  Young 
Handy  went  to  the  Richmond  Dispatch  with  an  offer  to  report  the  meeting  "for  five  dollars  and 
a  railroad  ticket."  The  offer  was  accepted,  and  the  result  was  a  report  so  superior  to  the  usual 
work  in  that  line  as  at  once  to  fix  the  status  of  the  writer.  He  was  tendered  and  accepted  a  per- 
manent situation  on  the  Dispatch,  learning  the  detail  of  the  craft  while  engaged  in  the  "  all 
around  "  work  which  is  the  best  education  for  a  journalist,  and  was  not  long  in  mounting  the 
higher  rungs  of  the  ladder.  A  little  later  Mr.  Handy,  in  connection  with  the  exciting  and  tragic 
affair  of  the  "  Virginius,"  which  "so  nearly  led  to  a  war  between  this  country  and  Spain,  displayed 
an  enterprise  in  obtaining  intelligence  and  a  brilliancy  of  method  in  transmitting  it  which  elicited 
flattering  comments.  This  episode  led  directly  to  his  establishment  with  the  then  brilliant  staff 
of  the  New  York  Tribune,  and  his  career  since  has  been  one  of  unbroken  success.  He  was  sub- 
sequently, for  a  time,  editor-in-chief  of  the  once  famous  Richmond  Enquirer,  and  imparted  to  that 
staid  journal  a  vigor  and  spice  which  astonished  the  natives.  In  1876  he  was  commissioner  from 
Virginia  to  the  Centennial  Commission,  and  becoming  attached  to  the  "Quaker  City"  remained 
there  during  several  years  in  which  he  managed  the  Times,  and  afterward  held  a  prominent 
position  on  the  Press,  engaging  at  the  same  time  in  other  and  successful  literary  undertakings. 
When  the  organization  of  the  departments  of  the  Columbian  Exposition  was  undertaken,  Major 
Handy  was  selected  by  Colonel  Davis  to  create  the  bureau  over  which  he  now  so  ably  presides. 
The  tender  came  simultaneously  with  that  by  President  Harrison  of  the  appointment  of  consul- 
general  to  Egypt.  IVfajor  Handy,  however,  decided  to  cast  his  fortunes  with  the  Fair.  His  task 
was  really  the  creation  of  a  department,  for  the  field  was  entirely  unexplored;  methods,  as  well 
as  forces,  had  to  be  originated,  and  the  territory  to  be  covered  was  the  globe.  How  thoroughly 
the  work  has  been  accomplished  is  best  shown  by  the  universal  interest  which  has  been  created 
in  the  enterprise.  A  recent  traveler  through  the  remote  E&st  said  on  returning  home  that  he  had 
encountered  in  the  most  obscure  hamlet  no  person  who  had  not  heard  of  Chicago  and  the  great 
Exposition.     Major  Handy  was  married  in  1869  to  Miss  Sara  Mathews,  of  Virginia.     His  charm-

ing  home  in  this  city  is  brightened  by  the  presence  of  interesting  and  attractive  children.  His 
life  is  one  of  arduous  industry,  but  is  not  consumed  with  care;  for  he  is  the  life  and  light  of  social 
occasions,  and  carries  into  every  presence  the  easy  tact  and  unaffected  charm  as  a  companion 
which  made  him  famous  as  President  of  the  Clover  Club.  Few  men  are  so  widely  known;  none 
more  generally  esteemed.]

DEPARTMENT  P.--FOREIGN  AFFAIRS. 

THE  wide  scope  and  the  successful  performance  of  the  duties  for  which  the 
Department  of  Foreign  Affairs  is  responsible  is  best  shown  by  the  complete 
and  characteristic  representation  at  the  Exposition  of  nearly  every  country  upon 
the  globe.  At  the  time  of  the  organization  of  the  department  in  July,  1891, 
.although  the  invitation  of  the  President  of  the  United  States  to  foreign  govern- 
ments had  been  formally  accepted  by  many  great  nations,  not  an  inch  of  space 
had  been  applied  for  except  by  domestic  exhibitors,  while  abroad  there  was  a 
general  feeling  of  apathy  that  was  disheartening  to  the  promoters  of  the  great 
international  exhibition.  To  correct  the  erroneous  impressions  that  had  been 
industriously  circulated  a  special  commission  was  dispatched  to  Europe  which, 
upon  its  return,  was  accompanied  by  representatives  from  England,  Germany  and 
Denmark,  authorized  by  their  governments  to  examine  the  preparations  at  Jack- 
son Park  and  to  apply  for  space  if  the  situation  seemed  to  warrant  participation. 
The  enthusiastic  report  of  these  experts,  made  almost  simultaneously  with  the 
announcement  of

endeavor,  providing  for  the  characteristic  representation  of  many  small  but 
unique  countries  which  the  proclamation  of  the  President  failed  to  reach.  The 
complete  achievement  of  the  former  is  evidenced  by  the  cordial  relations  exist- 
ing among  all  the  foreign  representatives  now  in  Chicago,  and  of  the  latter  by 
the  comprehensive  and  brilliant  displays  gathered  at  the  Exposition  from  the 
national  pavilions  on  the  north;  to  the  forestry  exhibits  on  the  south,  and  to  the 
extreme  western  limit  of  the  Midway  Plaisance.  At  the  opening  of  the  Exposi- 
tion five  hundred  commissioners  representing  forty-five  nations  are  in  attend- 
ance. These  countries  are  Argentine  Republic,  Austria,  Belgium,  Brazil,  British

WALKER  FEARN,  CHIEF. 


192  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

Persia,  Portugal,  Russia,  Siam,  Spain,  Sweden,  Switzerland,  Trinidad,  Turkey, 
Uruguay  and  Venezuela.  In  addition  to  these  officially  represented  countries, 
splendid  displays  have  been  installed  in  the  departmental  buildings  by 
representatives  of  China,  Hungary,  British  India,  Peru,  Chile  and  many 
British,  French,  Spanish,  Dutch,  Portugese,  German  and  other  colonies.  The 
care  which  has  been  exercised  in  providing  that  no  country  should  be  unrep- 
resented by  its  products  is  instanced  in  the  case  of  China,  that  government  hav- 
ing having  declined  the  president's  invitation  to  participate.  Negotiations  were 
conducted  with  the  most  influential  merchants  and  manufacturers  of  China 
through  the  American  Consular  service,  which  have  led  to  the  establishment  of 
one  of  the  most  interesting  collections  in  the  great  Manufactures  Building.  The 
failure  of  the  government  of  India  to  take  official  part  was  at  least  in  some  degree 
counteracted  by  the  overtures  which  resulted  in  the  erection  of  a  typical  Indian 
building  upon  the  grounds,  replete  with  the  brilliant  and  varied  collections 
of  that  vast  empire,  and  which  has  received  official  aid.  Similar  methods 
have  secured  the  artistic  manufactures  of  Hungary,  as  well  as  the  natural 
resources  of  the  islands  of  the  Pacific  Ocean,  and  numerous  contribu- 
tions without  which  the  Exposition  could  hardly  be  deemed  complete. 
Although  its  business  has  been  conducted  with  scrupulous  economy,  the 
Department  of  Foreign  Affairs  has  been  compelled  to  spend  more  money  than 
any  other  department  of  the  Exposition,  save  that  of  works.  It  has  received 
nearly  10,000  written  communications  and  dispatched  more  than  25,000. 
Although  the  department  has  had  in  its  daily  mail  hundreds  of  letters  in  many 
languages,  English  has  been  naturally  adopted  as  the  official  language  of  the 
Exposition  and  generally  used  in  correspondence.  A  commodious  parlor,  well 
furnished  with  tables  and  writing  manterials,  has  been  provided  for  the  use  of 
foreign  commissioners  in  the  offices  of  the  Department  of  Foreign  Affairs  in  the 
Administraton  Building,  which  is  a  rendezvous  for  a  large  number  of  these 
gentlemen.  Attaches  of  the  office  speaking  nearly  all  tongues,  are  always 
present  to  give  all  information  required. 

[Walker  Fearn,  though  born  in  Alabama,  comes  from  a  long  strain  of  Virginian  ancestors, 
Huntsville,  his  birthplace,  was  laid  out  by  his  great-grandfather,  Leroy  Pope.  His  grandfather, 
John  W.  Walker,  from  whom  he  was  named,  was  president  of  the  convention  which  framed  the 
constitution  precedent  to  Alabama's  admission  as  a  State  of  the  Union.  The  subject  of  this 
sketch  entered  Yale  College  in  the  class  of  1848,  and  graduated  with  honor  three  years  later. 
Having  read  law  with  the  late  John  A.  Campbell  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  on  his  twenty-first 
birthday,  and  soon  entered  into  active  practice;  but  in  1853  began  his  varied  experience  in 
foreign  lands  by  accepting  the  post  of  secretary  of  legation  to  the  Belgian  mission.  Subse- 
quently he  occupied  the  same  position  in  the  Mexican  legation,  Hon.  John  Forsyth  being 
then  minister  to  that  power.  Later  he  made  an  extensive  and  protracted  tour  of  Europe.  In 
1861  he  was  one  of  the  Confederate  commissioners  to  European  powers,  and  returned  to 
Charleston  under  fire  of  the  blockading  fleet.  Entering  the  Southern  army,  Colonel  Fearn  was  at 
first  assigned  to  the  staff  of  General  Joseph  E.  Johnston,  then  commanding  in  Virginia.  In  1863 
he  was  again  employed  in  the  diplomatic  service,  first  in  Europe  with  L.  Q.  C.  Lamar,  since  a  Justice 
of  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,  and  afterwards  to  Mexico  with  General  William  Preston. 
His  final  military  service  was  as  adjutant-general  of  the  trans-Mississippi  Department  under 
Kirby  Smith,  and  here  the  close  of  hostilities  found  him.  After  his  marriage  with  Miss  Hewitt, 
of  Kentucky,  in  1866,  Colonel  Fearn  devoted  himself  to  the  practice  of  law  in  New  Orleans 
(also  holding  a  professorship  of  modern  languages  in  the  University  of  Louisiana)  until  1884, 
when  he  visited  Europe  as  commissioner  of  the  New  Orleans  Exposition.  He  was  appointed  by 
President  Cleveland  minister  to  Greece,  Roumania  and  Servia;  and  at  the  close  of  his  term 
established  a  law  firm  in  London  and  New  York.  Colonel  Fearn  by  his  experience  and  acquaint- 
ance abroad  was  pre-eminently  fitted  for  the  management  of  the  department  to  which  the 
director-general  invited  him.  His  administration  of  the  office  has  been  successful  in  the  highest 
degree,  and  has  added  to  a  reputation  already  high.]

the  Exposition — Directory  of  Officers  in  the  Administration 
Building — The  Fountains  and  Statuary — All  the  Features  and 
Points  of  Interest  on  the  Grounds. 


Administration  Building. — This  building  is  one  of  the  gems  of  the  Exposition  palaces.  It 
is  located  immediately  north  of  Machinery  Hall,  south  of  the  Mines  and  Electricity  buildings, 
east  of  the  Terminal  Railroad  station  and  west  of  the  Basin. 

The  most  conspicuous  object  which  attracts  the  gaze  of  visitors  on  reaching  the  grounds  is 
the  gilded  dome  of  this  lofty  building.  The  structure  covers  an  area  of  260  feet  square  and  con- 
sists of  four  pavilions  84  feet  square,  one  at  each  of  the  four  angles  of  the  square,  and  connected 
by  a  great  central  dome  120  feet  in  diameter  and  220  feet  in  height,  leaving  at  the  center  of  each 
facade  a  recess  82  feet  wide,  within  which  are  the  grand  entrances  to  the  building.  The  general 
design  is  in  the  style  of  the  French  renaissance.  The  first  great  story  is  in  the  Doric  order,  of 
heroic  proportions,  surrounded  by  a  lofty  balustrade  and  having  the  great  tiers  of  the  angle  of 
each  pavilion  crowned  with  sculpture.  The  second  story,  with  its  lofty  and  spacious  colonnade, 
is  of  the  Ionic  order. 

The  four  great  entrances,  one  on  each  side  of  the  building,  are  50  feet  wide  and  50  feet 
high,  deeply  recessed  and  covered  by  semi-circular  arched  vaults,  richly  coffered.  In  the  rear 
of  these  arches  are  the  entrance  doors,  and  above  them  great  screens  of  glass,  giving  light  to  the 
central  rotunda.  Across  the  face  of  these  screens,  at  the  level  of  the  office  floor,  are  galleries  of 
communication  between  the  different  pavilions. 

The  interior  features  of  this  great  building  even  exceed  in  beauty  and  splendor  those  of 
the  exterior.  Between  every  two  of  the  grand  entrances,  and  connecting  the  intervening  pavillion 
with  the  great  rotunda,  is  a  hall  or  loggia  30  feet  square,  giving  access  to  the  offices  and  provided 
with  broad,  circular  stairways  and  swift-running  elevators. 

Above  the  balcony  is  the  second  story,  50  feet  in  height.  From  the  top  of  the  cornice  of 
this  story  rises  the  interior  dome,  200  feet  from  the  floor,  and  in  the  center  is  an  opening  50  feet 
in  diameter,  transmitting  a  flow  of  light  from  the  exterior  dome  overhead.  The  under  side  of  the 
dome  is  enriched  with  deep  panelings,  richly  molded,  and  the  panels  are  filled  with  sculpture 
in  low  relief,  and  immense  paintings  representing  the  arts  and  sciences.  In  size  this  rotunda 
rivals,  if  it  does  not  surpass,  the  most  celebrated  domes  of  a  similar  character  in  the  world. 

The  building  is  divided  into  four  grand  pavilions  known  as  A,  B,  C  and  D,  occupied  from 
the  ground  to  and  including  the  third  floor  by  officials  of  the  Exposition,  express,  telegraph  and 
telephone  companies,  bank,  press  headquarters,  cafe,  Columbian  guard,  etc.,  explained  below. 
Above  the  third  floor  are  four  tunnel  passages  leading  from  one  pavilion  to  another.  The  fourth 
floor  is  a  circular  colonnade  for  sightseers,  and  from  the  fifth  floor  stairways  lead  to  the  top 
.colonnade.     The  occupants  of  the  building  are  as  follows  : 

Director-General. — The  entire  second  floor  of  the  northwest  pavilion  (B).  Entering  the 
rotunda  from  the  north,  take  the  first  section  of  elevators  to  the  left. 

Council  of  Administration. — The  right-hand  rooms  of  the  first  floor  of  Pavilion  B. 

President  and  Secretary  of  the  Exposition. — The  left-hand  rooms  of  Pavilion  B. 

Secretary  of  Installation. — South  room  of  the  ground  floor  of  Pavilion  B.

194  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

Office  of  the  Official  Publications.— The  Exposition  headquarters  of  the  W.  B.  Conkey 
Company,  publishers  of  official  works  to  the  Exposition,  are  in  handsomely  furnished  apart- 
ments adjoining  the  main  office  of  the  Chief  of  Publicity  and  Promotion  in  Pavilion  C,  on  the  sec- 
ond floor.  This  company's  plant  is  located  in  two  immense  seven-story  buildings— Nos.  341  to  351 
Dearborn  street  and  63  to  71  Plymouth  Place— the  largest  general  printing  and  book  manufactur- 
ing establishment  in  the  United  States.  Here  the  complicated  mechanical  work  of  getting  out 
the  Official  Directory ,  the  Official  Catalogue,  the  Guide,  and  other  Exposition  publications,  is 
carried  on,  in  which  over  1,200  employes  are  engaged  in  the  colossal  undertaking,  and  where 
specially  prepared  machinery  and  skilled  labor  are  employed.  Beside  this  large  number  of 
employes,  over  2,000  others  are  engaged  in  the  editorial,  translating,  compiling,  clerical,  adver- 
tising and  art  departments:  in  traveling,  supervising  and  soliciting,  the  scope  of  their  duties 
covering  all  parts  of  the  United  States,  Europe,  and  indeed,  all  quarters  of  the  globe.  Com- 
munication is  had  from  the  editorial  department  of  the  publications  in  the  Administration 
Building  to  the  publication  offices  down-town  by  private  telephones  and  messengers.  The  com- 
pany has  also  on  the  grounds  a  corrugated  iron  building,  50x100  feet,  with  their  own  special  rail- 
road track  leading  to  it,  located  in  the  southern  part  of  Jackson  Park.  It  is  used  as  a  depot  for 
their  supplies  and  also  as  a  drill-room  for  the  company's  battalion  of  uniformed  boys  who  are 
engaged  in  the  sale  of  the  Official  Catalogues  of  the  different  departments.  These  boys,  in  their 
scarlet  and  black  uniforms  with  gold  letters  on  the  cap,  marching  to  their  respective  posts,  are  a 
very  attractive  feature,  Commandant  Rice  having  detailed  an  officer  to  instruct  them  so  that 
their  appearance  is  soldierly  in  its  bearing.  There  are  storage  booths  in  each  department  where 
a  supply  of  the  Catalogues  is  kept  and  from  which  each  boy  replenishes  his  stock  as  it  is 
exhausted.

position buildings,  inspect  the  exhibits,  and,  in  short,  to  see  everything  within  the  Exposition 
grounds,  except?  the  Esquimau  Village  and  the  reproduction  of  the  Colorado  Cliff  dwellers.  For 
these  as  well  as  for  the  special  attractions  on  Midway  Plaisance  a  small  additional  fee  is  charged. 
While  the  plaisance  is  a  portion  of  the  Exposition  grounds,  it  is  devoted  wholly  to  side  exhibi- 
tions. Still  the  visitor  may  pass  through  this  strip  of  land  without  cost  and  see  the  beautiful 
buildings  which  have  been  erected  as  characteristic  of  half  a  score  of  foreign  nations.  There  are

Annexes. — All  of  the  annexes  are  scarcely  less  imposing  and  architecturally  beautiful  than 
the  main  buildings  themselves.  The  livfe-stock  sheds,  which  cover  an  immense  area,  were  con- 
structed as  inexpensively  as  possible  without  marring  the  general  architectural  effect.  The 
power  houses,  pumping  works,  etc.,  are  exhibits  in  themselves,  and  so  constructed  as  to  be  readily 
inspected  by  visitors.

street,  and  the  Exposition  is  interested  in  the  institution  to  the  extent  of  its  use  for  the  Wmddjs

principal  building  on  the  grounds  can  be  reached  by  water,  and  there  is  an  ornamental  landing

sorts  of  plants  and  with  two  large  aviaries  full  of  birds.  The  exterior  of  the  building  is  very 
plain,  for  a  pretentious  classic  architecture  would  be  out  of  place  there.  The  only  decoration  of 
the  walls  is  a  frieze  painted  on  a  blue  ground  and  eight  medallions  of  children.  All  that  is 
drawn  in  modern  American  style.     The  cost  of  the  building  is  $30,000.

ing. The  home  is  a  reproduction  of  Battle  Rock  Mountain  in  the  MacEimo  Valley  of  Colorado. 
It  is  built  of  stone,  iron,  staff  and  wood,  but  is  artistically  arranged  to  imitate  nature,  arid  is  covered 
with  vines  and  moss.  The  entrance  is  through  a  cave  in  the  side  of  the  mountain.  The  interior 
contains  cactus  and  other  vegetation.  Caverns  open  from  the  sides  of  the  canon  and  in  them

dwellers  are  scattered  around. 

Columbian  Guard. — A  military  organization,  under  the  control  and  direction  of  the  Expo- 
sition company,  and  having  no  connection  with  the  city  police  department.  The  guard  is  under

secret  service  part  of  the  command  is  under  charge  of  John  Bonfield.

tion of  selected  men,  physically,  mentally  and  morally  qualified  for  the  work  required  of  ";hem. 
The  following  officers  of  the  regular  army  were  detailed  to  assist  Colonel  Rice  in  his  duties,  and

four  hours  on,  then  four  hours  off.  The  night  relief  has  a  continuous  tour  of  eight  hours. 
It  is  all  so  arranged  that  no  two  companies  or  reliefs  are  changing  at  the  same  hour,  day  or 
night.  The  uniform  consists  of  a  light  blue  cloth  sack  coat,  ornamented  with  five  rows  of  black 
braid  across  the  front,  each  row  terminating  in  a  clover-leaf  knot ;  black  braid  on  the  cuffs  of  the 
sleeves,  with  three  small  brass  buttons  on  each  cuff  and  five  large  ones  down  the  front  of  the  coat. 
The  trousers  are  of  a  lighter  blue  than  the  coat  and  trimmed  with  two  rows  of  flat  black'braid  down 
each  outside  seam  with  a  narrow  red  stripe  between.  The  fatigue  cap  is  made  high  for  the  addi- 
tion of  a  black  pompon  on  occasions  of  ceremony,  which,  together  with  the  black  braid  shoulder 
knots  and  aiguilettes  with  belt  and  short  sword,  constitutes  the  full  dress.  The  ornaments  are  a 
blazing  sun,  from  the  center  of  which  an  eagle's  head  appears,  worn  on  the  left  breast;  a  whistle 
for  the  purposes  of  signal  and  alarm;  on  the  right  breast  a  cross-bow  after  the  pattern  of  1492, 
•on  which  is  the  guard's  number,  and  on  the  cap  a  crossed  gun  and  sword  in  the  center  of  which

the  grounds  may  be  had.  The  central  tower  is  a  "smoke  stack,"  and  probably  the  most  artistic 
one  ever  seen.  It  is  191  feet  in  height  and  elaborately  decorated.  In  this  building  the  most 
interesting  features  are  the  three  120  ton  "Hercules"  Ice  Making  Machines,  and  the  visitors  can 
see  there  how  artificial  ice  is  made.

rants and  resting  room  as  a  part  of  the  Bureau  of  Public  Comfort,  and  is  a  favorite  resort  for 
visitors. 

Compared  with  Paris  and  Philadelphia  Expositions. — That  the  World's  Columbian  Expo- 
sition at  Chicago  in  1893  is  by  far  the  greatest  Exposition  ever  held  is  shown  by  the  following

Convent  of  La  Rabida. — An  exact  reproduction  of  the  Convent  of  La  Rabida  in  Spain, 
where  Columbus  found  shelter,  in  time  of  trouble,  for  himself  and  boy,  anbl  where,  it  is  said,  he 
developed  his  theory  of  an  undiscovered  continent  in  the  west,  has  been  erected  in  the  southern 
part  of  the  grounds.  The  building  is  considered  more  closely  connected  with  Columbus  and  his 
great  work  than  any  other.     It  cost  $50,000. 

Daily  Columbian. — This  is  a  daily  news  paper  made  up  of  the  first  pages  of  Tribune, 
Herald,  Record,  Times  and  Inter-Ocean,  and  three  other  pages  of  matter  collected,  edited,  set 
up  and  printed  on  the  grounds.     It  serves  as  an  exhibit  of  how  a  morning  newspaper  is  produced. 

Electricity. — Seventeen  thousand  horse-power  for  electric  lighting  is  provided  for  the  Expo- 
sition Company.  This  is  three  times  the  electric  lighting  power  in  use  in  Chicago  and  ten  times 
that  provided  for  the  Paris  Exhibition  of  1889.  There  is  9,000  horse-power  for  incandescent 
lights,  5,000  for  arc  lights,  and  3,000  for  machinery  power.  This  supplies  93,000  incandescent  lights 
and  5,000  arc  lights.  The  buildings  provided  with  electric  power  are:  Mines,  Electricity,  Agri- 
culture, Transportation,  and  Manufactures.     The  electric  plant  cost  $1,000,000. 

The  scheme  for  lighting  the  main  basin  on  fete  nights  during  the  Exposition  includes 
thousands  of  incandescent  lights  of  different  colors.  One  row  extends  just  above  the  water's 
edge  all  around  the  basin,  and  another  row  reflects  deeper  into  the  water  from  a  few  feet  higher 
up.  Still  higher  on  the  loggias  of  all  the  buildings  that  surround  the  basin  are  other  rows  of 
lights  with  here  and  there  a  handsome  design.  Rows  of  lights  also  reach  around  the  colonnade 
story  of  the  Administration  building,  while  the  lower  part  of  the  building  is  lighted  from  the 
dome  and  sides.  At  the  base  of  each  tier  of  the  MacMonnies  fountain  is  another  row  of  lights, 
over  which  the  water  falls  from  the  basin  above.  There  are  also  various  search-lights  to  help  out 
the  effect.  One  of  these  is  placed  in  the  mezzanine  floor  of  the  Administration  Building  to  play 
on  the  MacMonnies  fountain.  Another  on  the  Electricity  Building  throws  its  light  on  the  Statue 
of  the  Republic  at  the  east  end  of  the  basin,  and  still  others  are  employed  to  help  out  at  other 
laces.     The  effect  of  all  these  many-hued  lights  reflecting  in  the  water  is  dazzling  and  beautiful.

Festival  (Choral)  Hall. — This  building  stands  upon  the  shore  of  the  lagoon  at  a  point 
where  the  two  great  promenades  meet.  Its  location  enables  it  to  be  seen  from  distant  parts  of  the 
grounds  across  the  lagoon  with  its  beautiful  wooded  island  and  green  shores.  To  one  side 
stands  Horticultural  hail,  while  Transportation  hall  stands  on  the  other.  The  style  of  the  build- 
ing, which  is  Doric,  makes  it  simple  and  severe  in  treatment;  its  form,  which  resembles  an 
amphitheater  surmounted  by  a  dome,  gives  the  building,  both  externally  and  internally,  a  rounded 
form,  from  which  project  on  the  four  sides  porticoes,  the  one  facing  the  lagoon  being  the  princi- 
pal entrance,  and  enriched  by  fluted  Doric  columns  six  feet  and  a  half  in  diameter.  From  the 
portico  leads  a  flight  of  spacious  steps,  at  the  foot  of  which  stand  two  statues,  being  reproduc- 
tions of  celebrated  marbles  of  Handel  and  Bach.  On  either  side  of  the  portico  are  panels  in 
relief  work  representing  the  progress  of  music,  and  in  the  panels  over  the  doors  are  relief  por- 
traits of  Gluck,  Berlioz,  Wagner,  Schumann,  Schubert,  Mozart,  Mendelssohn,  Bach,  Handel  and 
Beethoven.  The  interior  has  the  form  of  a  Greek  theater,  except  that  the  chorus  of  2,500  voices 
occupies  the  part  assigned  by  the  Greeks  to  the  stage,  and  thus  it  becomes  amphitheatrical  in 
form.  There  are  no  galleries  of  any  kind  to  obstruct  the  view  :6r  sound.  The  building  will  seat 
6,500  persons.  The  decoration  of  the  interior  is  in  the  same  order  as  the  exterior  in  relief  work 
and  color.     A  large  foyer  extends  around  the  building,  giving  ample  room  for  promenade. 

Fire  Department. — During  the  construction  work  it  consisted  of  eighteen  men,  three  engine 
houses,  three  two-horse  engines,  one  one-horse  engine,  one  sixty-gallon  hand  tank  (at  the  Forestry 
Building),  twenty-six  hose  carts,  with  13,250  feet  of  hose,  and  470  chemical  hand  extinguishers. 
The  fire  pressure  is  100  pounds  to  the  square  inch,  supplied  by  the  engines  in  the  temporary 
power  house.  In  the  complete  system  of  fire  protection  there  is  in  each  building  a  water  stand- 
pipe,  extending  from  the  ground  to  the  roof.  Attached  to  the  pipe  on  each  floor,  gallery  and  roof 
is  a  reel  of  hose  which  throws  water  automatically  with  the  unreeling  of  the  hose.  During  the 
Exposition  there  is  a  fire  patrol  on  every  floor,  gallery,  and  roof.  The  city  fire  department  is  at 
the  call  of  the  Exposition  force. 

Fountains. — The  McMonnies  fountain  stands  at  the  head  of  the  Basin,  immediately  in  front 
of  the  Administration  Building.  Its  waters  are  illuminated  by  electricity.  There  are  two  electrical 
fountains  fifty  feet  in  diameter,  to  the  right  and  left  of  the  McMonnies  fountain,  two  smaller  foun- 
tains in  front  of  the  Fine  Arts  Building  and  one  in  front  of  the  Woman's  Building.  Certainly 
no  more  striking,  and  perhaps  no  more  perfect  a  work  of  art  can  be  found  among  the  groups 
and  figures  of  sculpture  which  adorn  the  grounds  than  MacMonnies'  fountain.  It  arrests 
attention  even  among  the  wealth  of  attractive  objects  which  are  visible  in  that  portion  of 
the  park,  and  grows  upon  the  admiration  as  one  observes  and  comprehends  the  exquis- 
ite detail  in  which  the  artist  has  executed  a  design' of  bold  and  large  conception.  Mr.  MacMon- 
nies is  the  sculptor  of  whose  fertility  of  imagination  and  skill  in  production  this  Paean 
is  the  creation.  The  idea  presented  by  the  work  is  that  of  Columbia,  the  genius  and 
apotheosis  of  modern  liberty.  The  ship  of  state  floats  in  the  center  of  a  circular  basin,  or  lake, 
and  is  idealized  by  a  triumphal  barge.  In  the  prow  is  a  winged  figure  of  Victory  heralding  the 
advance  of  Freedom  by  blast  of  trumpet,  and  bestowing  laurels  on  her  champions  with  the  dis- 
engaged hand.  The  barge  is  attended  by  eight  sea-horses,  each  bestridden  by  the  animated 
figure  of  a  youth  who  urges  his  steed  onward.  The  rowers  are  eight  female  figures,  representing 
Music,  Architecture,  Sculpture,  Painting,  Agriculture,  Science,  Industry,  and  Commerce.  These 
stand  on  platforms  which  rest  on  shields  and  moldings  of  emblematic  device;  the  forward  poise 
of  the  bodies  as  they  lean  to  the  oars,  and  the  tresses  and  drapery  blown  to  the  rear,  conveying 
the  sense  of  rapid  motion.  At  the  helm  is  a  hoary,  omnipotent  Time.  Amidship,  on  a  massive 
pedestal  bearing  the  arms  of  the  republic,  is  Throned  Columbia,  calm  and  erect  in  conscious 
strength,  but  pose  and  features  expressing  vigilance  as  becomes  one  who  knows  the  price  of 
liberty.  Her  feet  rest  on  the  globe  in  token  of  Freedom's  triumph,  her  right  hand  rests  lightly 
on  the  back  of  the  chair  around  which  her  garlanded  and  happy  children  kneel;  in  the  left  hand 
she  extends  aloft  the  torch  that  lights  the  world.  Victory  at  the  prow;  Time  at  the  helm;  the 
Genius  of  Liberty  sailing  with  serene  confidence  toward  the  Future.  Such  is  the  story  of  the 
sculpture.  The  proportions  of  the  work  are  on  a  grand  scale.  The  smallest  figure  is  12  feet  in 
height.  The  culmination  of  brilliant  effects  produced  when  the  great  electric  fountains  on 
either  side  of  the  MacMonnies  memorial  are  brought  into  play.  They  are  muchJarger  than  any- 
thing of  the  kind  ever  attempted  before  and  were  put  in  at  a  cost  of  $50,000.  The  basins  in 
which  the  apparatus  is  fixed  are  60  feet  in  diameter.  The  floors  are  pierced  for  304  jets  alto- 
gether, by  means  of  which  the  water  is  sent  to  a  height  of  150  feet.  Like  the  rest  of  the 
display  the  prettiest  effects  are  produced  by  concealed  lights,  thus  doing  away  with  the  marring 
by  the  glare  of  the  exposed  light  while  adding  the  charm  of  mystery  to  the  source  of  illum- 
ination. The  whole  apparatus  is  controlled  by  electric  signals  from  one  of  the  domes  of 
Machinery  Hall.  From  there  the  different  lights  are  turned  on  and  the  transition  from  one 
form  to  another  controlled.  A  36-inch  main  supplies  the  water.  Illumination  is  by  38  arc  lights 
of  100  amperes  each,  requiring  nearly  1,000  horsepower  in  operation. 

Grading  and  Dredging. — In  this  preparatory  work,  about  1,200,000  cubic  yards  of  earth 
were  handled.  The  work  began  in  February,  1891,  and  was  finished  the  following  July.  Cost, 
8495,000.     The  ground  was  originally  a  series  of  sand  ridges,  covered  with  scrub  oak  trees. 

Grand  Central  Court. — The  center  or  axis  of  the  court  is  formed  by  the  water  basin.  Its 
foot  is  marked  by  the  Peristyle,  its  head  by  the  Administration  Building.  It  is  flanked  on  the 
north  by  the  Manufactures,  Electricity  and  Mines  buildings,  and  on  the  south  by  the  Agricultural 
and  Machinery  buildings.     The  completed  work  presents  a  magnificent  view  by  day  and  a  gor- 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  199 

geous  spectacle  by  night.  The  court  at  night  is  elaborately  illuminated  with  electricity.  The 
architectural  outlines  of  the  buildings  and  the  shore  lines  of  the  basin  are  delineated  in  incandes- 
cent lights.  Powerful  search  lights  bathe  the  marble-like  palaces  in  floods  of  ever  changing 
light,  and  the  great  electric  fountain  at  the  head  of  the  Basin  will,  at  times,  spout  an  iridescent 
deluge. 

Guides  for  Strangers — Uniformed  guides  are  scattered  over  the  grounds  to'  conduct 
strangers  to  points  of  interest. 

How  to  Reach  the  Grounds. — The  Exposition  grounds  include  all  of  Jackson  Park  and 
the  Midway  Plaisance,  and  lie  seven  miles  south  of  the  City  Hall,  or  center  of  the  down-town  dis- 
trict.

Indian  School. — This  building  is  a  two  story  frame,  124x28  feet,  with  a  one  story  L  in  the 
rear,  37x31  feet.  These  are  exterior  dimensions.  The  interior  dimensions  differ  but  slightly,  as  it  is 
an  ordinary  balloon  frame.  The  first  floor  has  rooms  arranged  along  one  side  of  an  eight-foot 
hall,  which  will  be  used  as  two  shops,  one  sewing-room,  one  sitting-room,  two  reception-rooms, 
one  school-room  and  two  toilet-rooms.  The  L  contains  a  dining-room  and  two  pantries.  From 
each  end  of  the  hall  are  stairways  leading  to  boys'  dormitory,  girls'  dormitory  and  seven  rooms 
for  employes  on  the  second  floor.  On  the  walls  of  the  lower  hall,  which  is  well  lighted,  are  cases 
containing  specimens  of  Indian  school  work.  A  plain  roofed  porch  in  front  of  the  entrance  is 
forty  feet  long  and  ten  feet  wide.     The  building  cost  $7,300. 

Insurance. — The  amount  of  fire  insurance  carried  is  about  $15,000,000.  The  Exposition 
company  insures  only  its  own  property,  or  property  held  by  it  in  trust. 

Interior  Water-ways. — Include  eight  divisions  of  water  within  the  grounds,  connecting" 
with  one  another.  The  "Basin"  extends  east  from  the  Administration  Building  to  Lake  Michigan, 
It  contains  10>/  acres.  The  "south  canal,"  2%  acres,  extends  south  from  the  head  of  the  Basin, 
The  "north  canal" — 3%  acres — extends  north  from  the  head  of  the  Basin.  The  lagoon  around 
the  wooded  island  contains  23  acres.  The  lagoon,  north  of  the  island,  running  to  Lake  Michigan, 
contains  3|  acres.  The  lagoon,  south  of  the  Agricultural  Building,  contains  8%"  acres.  The 
Lake,  south  of  the  Fine  Arts  Building,  ll/2  acres.  The  pond,  in  the  north  part  of  the  grounds, 
contains  \%  acres.     Total  area  of  interior  water-ways,  61  acres. 

Intramural  Railroad. — The  car  house  and  power  house  for  the  railroad  are  east  of  the 
dairy  barns.  The  road  is  elevated,  has  electric  power,  and  will  transport  visitors  about  the 
grounds. 

Krupp  Gun  Exhibit. — One  of  the  most  interesting  places  to  visit  is  the  Krupp  quarters  in 
the  southeastern  part  of  the  grounds.  This  famous  gunmaker,  who  was  asked  personally  by -his 
Emperor  to  make  a  showing  here,  has  erected  a  building  85  feet  by  200,  with  an  annex  on  each 
side  running  the  length  of  the  building  and  25  feet  wide.  The  two  side  buildings  are  given 
up  to  the  various  kinds  of  iron  and  the  big  one  is  devoted  exclusively  to  guns,  big  and  little,  slow 
firing  and  quick,  for  marine  and  land  batteries.  The  big  gun  weighs  122  tons,  is  48  feet  long, 
with  a  42-centemeter  bore,  and  fires  an  explosive  shell  weighing  2,300  pounds  a  distance  of  six- 
teen miles.  This  is  the  largest  gun  in  the  world  and  it  costs  $1,250  to  discharge  it.  Gishert  Gill- 
hausen,  the  engineer  who  represents  Krupp  here,  suggests  that  even  though  the  cost  was  large 
'  the  directors  of  the  Exposition  might  save  money  after  the  show  closed  by  firing  the  gun,  as  the 
concussion  would  undoubtedly  knock  down  all  the  great  buildings  in  Jackson  Park  and  thus 
save  a  lot  of  labor  in  their  removal.  Beside  the  big  gun  there  are  two  naval  guns,  one  36  feet 
long,  weighing  65  tons;  another  37  feet  long,  weighing  45  tons.  These  two  are  worked  by 
hydraulic  pressure.  Two  more,  designed  for  coast  defense,  one  32  and  the  other  25  feet  long, 
weighing  respectively  33,000  and  15,000  pounds,  are  shown.     They  are  of  a  new  pattern.     Armor

plates  are  shown  from  10  to  16  inches  thick,  but  nothing  has  been  made  thick  enough  yet  to  stop 
that  2,300-pound  shell.     The  value  of  the  Krupp  display  is  about  $1,000,000. 

Leather  and  Shoe  Trades  Building. — The  Leather  and  Shoe  Trades  Building  is  situated 
on  the  shore  of  the  lake,  south  of  the  great  central  basin,  southeast  of  the  Agriculture  Building, 
and  lies  between  the  Krupp  Gun  Exhibit  and  the  Forestry  Building.  It  is  575  feet  long  and  150 
wide,  its  greatest  length  being  from  north  to  south.  In  the  center  of  the  building  is  a  hall,  64 
feet  wide  by  480  feet  long  and  50  feet  high;  around  the  hall  are  the  galleries,  42  feet  wide,  18  feet 
high  on  the  first  floor,  and  22  feet  high  on  the  second  floor.  The  building  is  well  lighted  by  520 
windows  and  skylights,  and  is  built  entirely  of  wood.  The  exterior  covering  is  of  staff  and  plas- 
ter. Two  large'stairways  at  the  end  of  the  hall  lead  to  the  galleries  or  second  story;  two  small 
ones,  in  the  center  of  the  building,  lead  directly  to  the  offices  and  restaurant.  A  bridge  at  the 
height  of  the  first  floor  crosses  the  main  hall.  The  building  was  erected  by  the  subscribers  to 
the  stock  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  on  account  of  the  Leather  and  Shoe  Trades 
Building.  Work  upon  this  building  was  commenced  December  5,  1892,  and  completed  and 
.ready  for  the  reception  of  exhibits  on  April  1,  1893.  It  contains  all  the  domestic  exhibits  of 
leather,  boots  and  shoes,  rubber  boots  and  shoes,  and  of  the  allied  trades;  also  the  exhibits  of 
leather,  in  all  forms,  from  all  the  foreign  countries  exhibiting  at  the  World's  Columbian 
Exposition.  Fine  exhibits  have  been  prepared  by  a  large  portion  of  the  shoe  and  leather 
rtrade  of  the  United  States  and  the  following  countries,  and  are  shown  in  the  build- 
ing, erected  exclusively-for  leather,  viz:  France,  Germany,  Russia,  Austria,  Spain,  Japan, 
Mexico,  Brazil,  Venezuela  and  the  Argentine  Republic.  There  is  also  shown  in  the  building 
leather  curios  from  the  different  foreign  countries,  such  as  the  native  foot-gear,  clothing,  harness, 
saddles,  bags  and  such  articles  from  museums  and  private  collections  as  have  been  made  famous 
by  age  and  association.  A  model  shoe  factory  is  in  operation  in  this  building,  and  more  than 
one  thousand  pairs  of  shoes  are  manufactured  daily  during  the  Exposition.  The  entire  second 
floor  is  devoted  to  machinery,  which  includes  the  model  factory,  shoe,  leather  and  rubber 
machinery.  Mr.  Clinton  Collier  is  the  superintendent  of  the  Leather  and  Shoe  Trades  Exhibit, 
and  the  display  is  a  part  of  the  Department  of  Manufactures. 

Living  Indians. — Various  tribes  of  American  Indians  are  encamped  near  the  Anthropo- 
logical Hall  and  this  is  one  of  the  attractive  features  of  the  Ethnological  Exhibit.  The  Indians 
live  on  the  grounds  in  the  same  manner  they  do  on  their  respective  reservations,  showing  their 
canoes,  costumes,  hunting  and  fishing  apparatus,  trinkets,  etc. 

Machine  Shop. — A  complete  outfit  of  repairing  tools  and- machines  is  furnished  free  as 
Sli\  exhibit.     The  machine  shop,  pump  house  and  power  house  cost  $85,000. 

Medals  and  Diplomas. — The  winning  exhibitors  will  each  receive  a  bronze  medal  and  a 
handsome  diploma,  setting  forth  the  specific  purpose  for  which  the  medal  was  awarded.  Pro- 
vision has  been  made  for  75,000  medals  and  diplomas. 

Merchant  Tailors'  Building. — This  building  was  erected  under  the  supervision  of  the 
-Chicago  Merchant  Tailors'  World's  Fair  Committee,  of  the  Merchant  Tailors'  National  Exchange 
oi  the  United  States  of  America,  at  a  cost  of  830,000,  the  money  having  been  raised  by  voluntary 
.contributions  from  the  merchant  tailors  and  woolen  and  trimming  merchants  of  the  United 
.States.  The  building  is  94  feet  each  way  over  all.  It  is  55  feet  6  inches  square,  inside  measure- 
ment, and  is  in  the  form  of  a  Greek  temple,  a  reproduction  of  the  Erectheum,  at  Athens, 
finished  about  410  B.  C,  planned  by  Pericles,  and  erected  under  the  supervision  of  Phidias,  the 
great  Greek  sculptor.  The  interior  of  the  main  room  is  octagonal  in  shape,  which  forms  a  small 
room  in  each  corner.  Upon  the  north  and  south  sides  is  a  semicircular  room,  14x22  feet.  The 
toilet  and  semicircular  rooms,  also  the  portico  fronting  upon  the  lagoon,  are  strictly  private  for 
the  exclusive  use  of  subscribers  to  the  Building  Fund.  The  walls  are  finished  in  cream  and  gold  and 
decorated  with  mural  paintings,  representing  the  eight  great  historical  periods  of  dress:  First, 
Adam  and  Eve  making  aprons  of  leaves;  second,  a  Barbarian  scene;  third,  Egyptian;  fourth, 
classical  Greek;  fifth,  mediaeval;  sixth,  renaissance;  seventh,  Louis  the  XIV  to  XVI;  eighth, 
modern.  There  are  also  other  frescoes  emblematic  of  the  trade.  The  floor  leading  from  the 
.entrance  to  under  the  dome,  and  all  of  the  space  under  the  dome  (circle,  33  feet  in  diameter), 
is  covered  by  ceramic  mosaic  from  Shropshire,  England,  which,  wittuthe  rich  drapery  of  the  en- 
trances to  the  private  reception  rooms  make  the  merchant  tailors'  exhibit  hall  most  attractive. 
The  building  is  near  the  bridge  across  the  north  pond. 

Midway  Plaisance.  —A  strip  of  land  600  feet  wide  and  seven-eighths  of  a  mile  long,  between 
Fifty-ninth  and  Sixtieth  streets,  containing  80  acres,  connecting  Jackson  and  Washington  Parks. 
In  this  section  are  located  many  of  the  amusement  attractions  outside  the  main  exhibition 
ibuildings,  all  of  them  being  private  concessions. 

Music  Hall. — The  Music  Hall,  which  is  located  on  the  shore  of  Lake  Michigan  at  the 
northerly  end  of  the  great  Peristyle,  is  140  feet  wide  by  246  feet  long,  and  about  65  feet  high. 
The  main  audience  room  is  in  the  center  of  the  building,  and  is  126  feet  long  by  the  full  width  of 
the  same,  and  occupies  the  full  height  of  the  structure.  The  space  for  the  orchestra  and  chorus 
is  at  the  east  end,  and  it  is  in  the  form  of  a  great  hemicycle  or  recess,  which  opens  into  the  main 
hall  by  an  arch  66  feet  wide  and  54  feet  high.  This  recess  is  semi-circular  in  plan  at  the  rear 
and  50  feet  deep  from  the  front  of  the  arch  to  the  back  of  the  circle.  The  ceiling  of  this  recess 
.or  hemicycle  is  shaped  like  a  quarter  section  of  a  sphere,  so  that  the  sound  of  the  music  is  pro- 
jected forward  into  the  audience  room. 

Just  outside  of  the  arch  on  the  main  floor  is  the  platform  for  the  orchestra  with  the  chorus 
rising  behind  on  a  series  of  wide  steps.     To  the  west  of  the  orchestra  is  the  parquette.  which  will

seat  from  800  to  1,000  persons.  These  seats  are  also  arranged  on  wide  steps  or  platforms  which 
rise  gradually  to  the  rear  end,  thus  giving  an  uninterrupted  view  of  the  stage  and  conductor  to- 
every  person'.  All  around  this  parquette,  except  on  the  side  occupied  by  the  stage,  is  a  loggia  or 
passage  about  20  feet  wide,  connecting  with  the  main  hall  by  many  wide  doorways,  thus  giving 
ample  space  for  the  entrance  and  exit  of  the  audience  with  comfort  and  celerity.  Above  this- 
loggia,  which  is  about  20  feet  high  at  the  exterior  wall  and  14  feet  high  at  the  inner  wall  next  the 
parquette,  is  the  great  balcony,  which  will  seat  about  1,200  persons.  The  seats  here  are  also 
arranged  on  rising  steps,  so  that  every  one  can  have  a  perfect  view  of  the  stage  and  of  the 
audience  in  the  parquette  below.  The  seats  of  the  balcony  sweep  round  in  a  semi-circle  at  the 
west  end  opposite  the  stage,  thus  giving  the  audience  room  and  the  stage  combined  the  form  of  a 
great  oval.  Around  the  front  of  the  balcony  are  Corinthian  columns  which  support  the  roof,  and 
over  the  inner  space  is  a  large  skylight  which  gives  ample  light  by  day.  Around  the  rear  of  the 
balcony  are  also  a  series  of  large  windows  commanding  a  view  of  the  great  court  on  the  south 
and  the  lake  on  the  north.  The  main  entrance  is  at  the  west  end  through  three  wide  archways 
into  a  great  vestibule  60x80  feet,  and  thence  through  three  great  openings  into  the  loggia  about 
the  parquette.  On  each  side  of  this  vestibule  are  wide  and  easy  stairways,  giving  access  to  the 
balcony  and  second  story  of  the  building,  and  over  the  vestibule  is  a  smaller  hall  60x80  feet  in 
size,  which  is  for  a  recital  hall,  etc.  Opening  off  this  hall  are  several  rooms,  used  for  offices- 
or  dressing  rooms,  about  25x40  feet  each.  Opening  upon  the  vestibule,  loggia  and  the  balcony 
above  are  large  and  numerous  dressing  and  cloak  rooms  of  about  the  same  size  as  above.  At 
the  other  end  and  opening  from  each  end  of  the  orchestral  platform  are  rooms  for  the  accommo- 
dation of  the  Director  of  Music  and  the  principal  singers  and  performers,  with  ample  toilet  rooms 
connected  therewith.  At  the  rear  of  the  hemicycle  are  large  rooms  for  the  chorus,  and  reached 
by  private  entrances  directly  from  the  seats.  Above  these  rooms  are  others  of  the  same  size 
which  are  used  for  meetings  and  as  offices  for  the  Bureau  of  Music.  There  is  a  third  floor,  which 
also  contains  several  large  rooms  for  general  purposes.  On  this  floor  and  over  the  balcony  is  a 
large  standing  place  of  the  same  size  as  the  balcony  below,  which  opens  upon  the  main  hall, 
through  a  series  of  arched  openings  in  the  coved  ceiling  of  the  audience  room,  which  will  hold  a 
great  many  people  in  case  of  an  extra  occasion,  and  is  reached  by  ample  stairways.  The  interior 
of  the  hall  is  richly  decorated  in  color,  with  emblematic  paintings  on  the  face  of  the  east  wall 
above  the  great  arch,  and  in  the  panels  of  the  ceiling.  It  has  been  specially  planned  for  acoustic 
effect.  The  great  arch  of  the  hemicycle  is  richly  ornamented  with  architectural  detail,  and  the 
whole  can  be  brilliantly  lighted  by  electricity  in  the  most  novel  effects.  The  architecture  of  the 
exterior  is,  like  that  of  the  Casino  and  Peristyle — Roman  Corinthian — and  richly  ornamented  in 
detail.  Around  the  entablature  above  the  columns  are  inscribed  the  names  of  the  great  com- 
posers, and  on  the  pedestals  of  the  balustrade  surmounting  the  cornice  are  placed  many  statues, 
12  feet  high,  emblematic  of  the  art  of  music. 

The  Bureau  of  Music,  composed  of  Theodore  Thomas,  Musical  Director;  William  Lr 
Tomlins,  Choral  Director,  and  George  H.  Wilson,  Secretary,  has  announced  the  following  plan 
in  general  for  music  during  the  six  months  of  the  Exposition: 

1.  Semi-weekly  orchestral  concerts  in  Music  Hall. 

2.  Semi-monthly  choral  concerts  in  Music  Hall. 

3.  Six  series  of  International  concerts,  choral  and  orchestral,  each  consisting  of  from  four  to  six,  in  Festival 
Hall  and  in  Music  Hall.

New  England  Clam  Bake  Building. — This  building  is  located  on  the  north  pond  near  a 
group  of  foreign  buildings.  Its  dimensions  are  60x120  feet.  It  is  used  as  a  fish  restaurant.  The 
upper  story  is  occupied  as  headquarters  of  Knights  Templars.

Peristyle. — The  connecting  structure  between  the  Music  Hall  and  the  Casino,  at  the  foot  of 
the  Basin.  It  is  600  feet  long,  60  feet  wide  and  60  feet  high.  At  its  center  is  a  grand  archway, 
forming  a  portal  from  Lake  Michigan  to  the  Grand  Central  Court.  This  portal  is  dedicated  to 
Columbus,  and  is  inscribed  with  the  names  of  the  world's  great  explorers.  Crowning  it  is  a 
group  of  statuary,  emblematic  of  the  progress  of  the  world.     The  Peristyle  bears  forty-eight 


202  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTOR? 

columns,  representing  the  States  and  Territories.  Each  State's  column  bears  its  coat  of  arms.  The 
cost  of  the  Peristyle,  with  the  Casino  and  Music  Hall,  was  $300,000. 

Piers.— There  are  four  piers  in  all.  These  are  the  Park  Haven,  250x2,300  feet,  and  car- 
rying a  movable  sidewalk  upon  it,  which  has  a  loop  at  both  ends;  the  north-inlet  pier;  the  pier 
around  the  battle-ship  and  the  down-town  pier. 

Polish  Building.— The  Polish  Building  is  constructed  after  the  style  of  a  country 
pavilion,  such  as  is  found  in  the  forests  of  that  land.  Its  dimensions  are  50x80,  and  its  height  is 
two  stories.  It  contains  a  restaurant  conducted  upon  the  Russian  and  Polish  plans,  where  meals 
are  furnished  cooked  in  the  manner  peculiar  to  those  two  lands.  This  structure  is  located  near 
the  Fisheries  Building.     It  cost  $10,000. 

Power  House. — Here  are  stationed  the  engines  for  the  24,000  horse-power  provided.  The 
largest  engine  in  the  plant  is  about  twice  the  size  and  power  of  the  celebrated  Corliss  engine. 
Oil  is  used  for  fuel.  The  boilers  present  a  solid  bank  600  feet  long.  Of  the  24,000  horse-power, 
17,000  is  provided  for  electricity. 

Puck  Building. — This  pavilion  is  located  between  the  Woman's  and  Horticultural 
buildings.  Its  form, is  a  parallelogram,  and  as  to  architecture  it  is  a  combination  of  all  that  is 
airy  and  graceful.  The  southern  entrance  is  through  a  semi-circular  porch  supported  by  six 
elaborately  carved  columns  of  quaint  design.  The  central  group  represents  the  Puck,  holding  in 
one  hand  a  crayon  and  in  the  other  a  mirror,  while  on  his  head  is  the  proverbial  pot  hat.  Beneath 
this  figure  are  grouped  figures  of  cupids  emblematizing  in  their  expressions  of  naughtiness,  mis- 
chief and  good  natured  fun.  -  Every  department  in  the  production  of  Puck  is  exhibited  in  the 
building.  Artists  at  work,  type-setting,  color  printing  on  power-presses,  folding  and  stitching,  are 
shown,  and  piove  of  great  interest  to  visitors, 

Pumping  Works. — The  two  pumps  have  a  capacity  of  40,000,000  gallons  of  water  per  day, 
which  constitutes  the  main  Exposition  water  supply. 

Sale  of  Liquor. — Prohibited  within  the  grounds,  except  in  restaurants.  Required  to  be 
served  only  at  table  in  connection  with  meals. 

Saw-Mill  Exhibit. — This  exhibit  is  in  connection  with  that  of  Forestry,  and  it  is  entirely 
distinct  from  the  displays  of  saw-mill  and  wood-working  machinery,  which  are  installed  in  the 
Machinery  Building.  Four  saw-mill  plants  are  installed,  occupying  altogether  a  building  meas- 
uring 125x300  feet.  The  building  is  plainly  constructed,  costing  only  about  $35,000,  but  affords 
ample  facilities  for  a  competitive  display  of  saw-mill  plants  and  the  latest  improvements  in  con- 
nection with  the  same.  Exhibitors  of  saw-mill  plants  in  this  building  bear  the  expense  of  instal- 
ling and  operating  them.  One-half  of  the  building  is  two  stories  high,  to  accommodate  bands 
and  gangs  and  to  provide  also  a  gallery  from  which  visitors  may  view  the  working  of  the  machin- 
ery to  good  advantage  and  without  danger.  This  exhibit  is  a  very  novel  and  interesting  one,  as 
well  as  instructive  to  those  who  desire  to  witness  the  workings  of  the  latest  and  most  approved 
saw-mill  machinery. 

Sewerage. — The  rain  water  from  the  roofs  is  conducted  by  one  system  of  underground 
pipes  into  the  interior  waterways.  The  flood  water  from  the  ground  is  conducted  by  another 
system  of  pipes  into  Lake  Michigan.  The  sewage  proper  is  forced  by  hydraulic  pressure  through 
a  third  system  of  pipes  to  the  cleansing  works.  Here  it  4s  precipitated  into  tanks,  where  it  is 
purified  by  a  chemical  process,  and  the  solids  are  pressed  into  cakes  and  burned  under  the 
boilers.  This  sewerage  system  is  on  a  scale  sufficiently  large  for  a  city  of  600,000  population,  and 
constitutes  an  exhibit  in  itself. 

Special  Days. — Special  days  are  to  be  a  great  feature  at  the  Exposition.  Many  of  the 
States  of  the  Union  have  their  day,  upon  which  special  exercises  will  be  held,  and  their 
Governors  and  staff,  other  State  officers,  militia  and  thousands  of  their  distinguished  and  other 
citizens  will  be  in  attendance.  Receptions  will.be  held  at  the  State  buildings,  respectively,  and 
the  Governors  and  others  will  make  speeches.  Many  musical,  civic  and  secret  societies  also 
have  days  upon  which  to  hold  exercises  peculiar  to  themselves.  It  js  believed  that  these  special 
features  will  draw  many  additional  thousands  of  visitors.

Statue  of  the  Republic— Mr.  D.  C.  French's  statue,  "The  Republic,"  is  impressive  and 
imposing  in  the  highest  degree.  Rising  from  the  waters  of  the  lagoon,  with  the  Peristyle  for  a 
background  and  facing  the  Administration  Building,  it  is  not  dwarfed  by  comparison  with  either. 
Of  colossal  size  (the  statue  proper  is  65  feet  in  height),  the  characteristics  of  the  figure  are  simpli- 
city and  grandeur.  The  pose  is  firm  and  majestic;  the  drapery  chaste  and  severe;  the  expression 
is  that  of  confident  power  and  benign  purpose.  The  arms  are  uplifted  with  easy  grace;  the  right 
hand  holding  aloft  a  globe  on  which  is  perched  the  American  Eagle;  the  left  grasping  a  staff 
crowned  with  a  Liberty  cap.  The  statue  is  gilded.  The  head  is  encircled  by  a  crown,  the  jewels 
of  which  are  electric  lights.

Kentucky  Building. — Statue  "Daniel  Boone."     By  Miss  Yondell,  sculptor. 

Staff. — A  composition  of  plaster,  cement,  and  hemp,  or  similar  fiber.  All  the  Exposition 
buildings,  and  many  of  the  State  Buildings  are  covered  with  staff.  It  is  lighter  than  wood,  is  fire- 
proof, water-proof,  and,  if  kept  painted,  will  last  many  years.  The  architectural  and  sculptural 
designs  in  the  covering  of  the  buildings  are  first  modeled  in  clay,  from  which  model  molds  are 
made,  and  the  staff  covering  is  then  cast  very  much  as  iron  is  cast.  Staff  has  been  used  for  more 
than  100  years  as  a  covering  for  buildings,  notably  in  South  America. 

One  of  the  wonders  of  staff  as  seen  at  the  Exposition  is  its  color.  Grayish-white  is  its 
natural  tone;  and  the  basis  of  its  success  at  Jackson  Park;  but  it  will  take  any  tint  that  one 
chooses  to  apply,  and  maintain  a  liveliness  akin  to  the  soft  bloom  of  the  human  skin.  Staff  is  an 
expedient  borrowed  from  the  Latin  countries,  and  much  cultivated  in  South  America.  Any  child 
skilled  in  the  mechanism  of  a  mud  pie  can  make  it,  after  being  provided  with  the  gelatine  molds

and  a  water  mixture  of  cement  and  plaster.  When  the  staff  has  hardened,  the  resultant  cast  is 
definite,  light  and  attractive.  A  workman  may  walk  to  his  job  with  a  square  yard  of  the  side  of 
a  marble  palace  under  each  arm  and  a  Corinthian  capital  in  each  hand.  While  it  is  a  little 
green  it  may  be  easily  sawed  and  chiseled,  and  nails  are  used  as  in  pine.  Moreover  rough  joints 
are  no  objection,  since  a  little  wet  plaster  serves  to  weld  the  pieces  into  a  finished  surface. 

Telegraph  Service. — Visitors,  especially  those  from  distant  lands,  are  afforded  an  object 
lesson  in  the  form  of  a  magnificent  model  of  a  modern  telegraph  office  handsomely  equipped  and 
in  practical  operation.  The  arrangements  made  by  the  Western  Union  are  on  a  scale,  as  to 
dimensions  and  beauty,  that  will  compare  favorably  with  any  exhibit  on  view  at  the  Exposition. 
The  main  telegraph  office  on  the  grounds  is  located  in  the  southeast  wing  of  the  Administration 
Building.  It  is  finished  in  oak,  and  contains  four  counters  at  which  business  may  be  simultane- 
ously filed.  There  are  desks  for  seventy-two  operators.  This  force  does  not  include  the  man- 
ager, chief  operators,  clerks,  and  messengers.  This  branch  office  has  direct  connection  with  the 
various  cable  offices  in  New  York.  Direct  wires  also  connect  the  Administration  Building  office 
with  the  main  offices  of  the  Western  Union  in  New  York,  Washington,  and  all  the  larger  cities  in 
the  United  States,  where  newspaper  and  other  "loops"  may  be  attached.  In  addition  to  the 
central  office  eighteen  other  offices  are  scattered  throughout  the  grounds  in  the  most  accessible 
and  desirable  locations.  There  are  two  such  branch  offices  in  the  Manufacturers  Building,  one 
in  the  Electrical  Building,  one  in  Machinery  Hall,  one  in  the  Casino,  one  in  the  Agricultural 
Building,  one  in  the  Terminal  station,  and  one  at  the  Ferris  Wheel  on  Midway  Plaisance,  with 
others  at  suitable  contiguous  points.  All  of  these  offices  are  equipped  as  the  highest  types  of 
perfection.  Each  of  the  branches  has  direct  connection  with  the  central  office  in  the  Adminis- 
tration Building  and  with  the  main  operating-room  of  the  Western  Union,  at  the  corner  of  Jack- 
son and  Clark  streets.  For  the  purpose  of  establishing  perfect  connection  with  the  Exposition 
grounds  the  Western  Union  has  erected  fifteen  miles  of  nineteen-conductor  aerial  cables,  each 
capable  of  being  quadruplexed,  thereby  giving  seventy-six  possible  circuits  radiating  from  the 
grounds.  The  entire  Exposition  plant  is  operated  by  a  complete  system  of  dynamo  currents  and 
supplied  with  all  the  latest  modern  electrical  appliances. 

Telephone  Facilities. — The  New  York,  Boston  and  Philadelphia  wires  of  the  Long  Distance 
Telephone  Company  are  connected  with  the  World's  Fair  Exchange.  Connections  have  been 
made  at  New  York  with  telephones  in  other  eastern  cities.  This  has  been  arranged  to  continue 
during  the  Exposition,  so  that  at  any  time  visitors  can  converse  by  telephone  with  relatives, 
friends,  or  business  partners  in  the  cities  of  the  New  England  and  Middle  States. 

Terminal  Railway  Station. — This  is  a  handsome  structure,  located  directly  west  of  the 
Administration  Building,  and  forming  the  west  side  of  the  great  square.  The  terminal  station 
is  of  the  Roman-Corinthian  style  of  architecture.  In  general  plan  this  station  is  divided  into 
three  sections.  The  central  is  200  feet  in  length  by  the  full  depth  of  the  building.  It  forms  the 
great  vestibule.  The  east  and  west  sections  are  three  stories  in  height,  and  contain  the  waiting- 
rooms,  check-rooms,  lunch  counters,  and  the  general  railroad  offices.  The  central  section  extends 
the  full  length  of  the  building.  A  marvelous  effect  is  attained  by  an  immense  gallery  on  the 
second  floor.  The  gallery  is  25  feet  wide,  and  extends  entirely  around  the  central  section,  giving 
it  an  aggregate  length  of  some  600  feet.  Two  broad  stairways,  built  in  the  highest  art  known  to 
moderns,  lead  up  to  the  gallery  from  the  main  floor.  In  actual  use  the  gallery  is  an  additional 
waiting-room,  but  it  also  is  a  convenient  place  for  friends  to  meet.  In  the  upper  part  of  the  great 
hall  there  is  a  frieze  of  clock  faces  24  in  number  and  5  feet  in  diameter.  They  give  the  time  of 
day  or  night  at  twenty-four  of  the  principal  cities  of  the  world.  The  great  hall  in  its  principal 
features  and  proportions,  is  adapted  from  the  hall  of  the  Baths  of  Caracalla  at  Rome.  The  con- 
struction material  consists  of  wood  and  iron  and  the  exterior  and  interior  finish  and  decoration  is 
of  staff.  Rising  above  the  station  are  two  illuminated  balls  pLmetal  and  glass,  10  feet  in  dia- 
meter. They  show  clock  faces  in  every  direction  giving  local  time.  The  terminal  facilities 
include  everything  except  baggagerooms.  Trunks  of  excursionists  over  the  various  roads  will 
not  be  taken  into  the  grounds  at  all,  but  will  be  delivered  from  the  down-town  depots. 

Connected  to  the  west  side  of  the  station  is  the  perron,  or  landing  platform,  80x672  feet, 
with  an  overhanging  roof,  from  which  a  system  of  umbrella  sheds,  13  in  number,  extend  west- 
ward a  distance  of  .500  feet. 

The  entire  system  of  railroads  is  concentrated  here  upon  35  tracks.  A  platform  extends 
along  the  west  side  of  the  building  on  the  level  of  the  second  story,  with  wide  covered  passage- 
ways leading  over  the  roof  of  the  Perron  to  the  intramural  elevated  railway,  which  crosses  the 
system  of  surface  tracks  above  mentioned. 

The  entire  cost  of  the  main  building  is  $250,000,  and  of  the  perron  and  umbrella  sheds, 
$50,000,  making  a  total  of  $310,000. 

Terminal  Tracks. — The  terminal  tracks  proper  are  twenty-six  in  number,  terminating  at  the 
west  side  of  the  train  shed,  where  are  located  the  entrance  and  exit  gates.  In  addition  to  these 
twenty-six  tracks,  are  nine  passing  tracks  which  can  be  used  in  an  emergency  service.  Beyond 
these  terminal  tracks  is  the  storage  yard  which  consists  of  twenty  storage  tracks  and  four  running 
tracks.  In  the  center  of  the  yard  between  the  storage  and  terminal  tracks  is  provided  a  sixty-six 
foot  turntable  for  the  purpose  of  turning  engines  or  cars  if  required.  There  there  also  provided 
five  water  cranes  connected  with  a  50,000  gallon  water  tank,  for  the  purpose  of  furnishing  water 
to  the  locomotives.  For  the  operation  of  this  terminal,  power  interlocking  is  provided.  There 
are  in  the  grounds  two  switch  cabins  or  towers  A  and  B.  The  south  tower  B,  contains  seventy 
levers  and  controls  the  entrance  into  the  terminal  and  the  south  end  of  the  storage  yard.     The 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  205 

north  tower  A,  contains  160  levers  and  controls  the  north  end  of  the  storage  yard  and  the  termi- 
nal tracks  proper.  The  power  is  steam,  furnished  by  a  battery  of  boilers  at  each  tower.  The 
steam  forces  a  column  of  water  through  an  iron  pipe  under  ground,  which  in  turn  throws  the 
switch  or  signal.  On  approaching  the  yard  a  train  meets  with  a  signal,  and  from  that  time  on  is 
completely  under  the  control  of  the  superintendent  of  terminals,  who,  acting  through  the  lever- 
men  in  the  towers,  guides  it  to  its  proper  track,  without  any  possibility  of  mishap  or  danger. 

Viaducts. — Have  been  built  by  the  Exposition  Company  over  Stony  Island  avenue,  Madi- 
son avenue,  Woodlawn  avenue,  as  well  as  the  Illinois  Central  tracks  at  Van  Buren  street. 

White  Star  Line  Building — Adjoining  the  -Tuck"  building  and  used  as  an  exhibit  for  the 
"White  Star  Line"  of  Trans-Atlantic  steamers. 

Women's  Dormitory. — For  the  benefit  of  the  great  army  of  "industrial  women,"  "wage- 
earners"  and  "working  girls,"  who  visit  the  Exposition,  the  Woman's  Dormitory  Association  was 
formed,  the  object  being  to  procure  for  these  women  a  good,  clean,  safe  home  at  reasonable  rates. 
A  building  not  far  from  the  grounds  has  been  erected  capable  of  sheltering  1,000  women  per  day. 
This  dormitory  is  furnished  with  comfortable  beds  and  toilet  conveniences,  and  is  presided  over  by 
refined,  motherly  women  who  keep  a  watchful  care  over  unprotected  girls  who  come  singly  or  in 
groups.  Stock  in  the'  association,  in  shares  of  $10,  was  issued  to  a  large  number  of  deserving 
women,  and  the  shares  are  taken  at  the  dormitories  in  payment  for  lodging  bills.  Only  two 
persons  are  allowed  to  come  at  one  time  on  a  single  share.  These  shares  are  transferable,  and 
if  the  face  value  is  not  used  by  the  holder  during  her  stay,  it  can  be  made  over  to  another,  who 
can  use  the  balance.  After  the  $10  has  been  used  the  share  still  stands  on  the  association  books, 
credited  to  the  holder  and  she  is  entitled  to  her  pro  rata  of  the  profits,  if  a  surplus  remains  after 
the  enterprise  is  closed.  The  rate  per  day  to  stockholders  does  not  exceed  forty  cents;  non- 
holders  of  stock  are  charged  a  slightly  higher  rate. 

The  dormitory  is  located  on  Ellis  avenue,  occupying  the  entire  block  between  Fifty-second 
and  Fifty-third  streets.  This  location  is  one  of  the  pleasantest  portions  of  Hyde  Park,  some  ten 
or  twelve  blocks  from  the  Exposition,  and  within  three  blocks  of  the  Cottage  Grove  avenue  cable 
line  which,  for  a  five-cent  fare,  carries  passengers  in  six  or  eight  minutes  to  the  Exposition 
grounds.  It  is  a  frame  structure,  two  stories  high,  built  for  the  association  and  newly  furnished 
with  plain,  but  comfortable  single  wire-spring  cots,  mattresses,  etc  About  one-half  the  rooms 
are  single;  the  balance  double;  all  looking  out  upon  the  street,  yard,  or  inner  court.  No 
beds  are  wide  enough  to  accommodate  two  adults,  but  children  young  enough  to  sleep  two  in  a 
bed  are  charged  half  rates,  provided  the  full  rate  for  the  bed  is  paid.  In  connection  with  the 
dormitory  there  is  a  restaurant  established  for  the  sole  use  of  its  guests  where  meals  are  sched- 
uled at  reasonable  rates  and  guaranteed  quality.  The  dormitory  is  under  the  auspices  of  the 
local  Board  of  Lady  Managers  and  other  philanthropic  women  who  have  given  much  thought 
and  time  to  the  enterprise,  believing  it  to  be  a  worthy  object,  and  that  it  will,  as  carried  out,  afford 
means  to  hundreds  of  women  to  visit  the  Exposition  who  otherwise  would  not  make  the  venture 
or  be  able  to  afford  the  expense. 

Wooded  Island. — Contains  sixteen  acres;  is  devoted  to  floriculture  and  horticulture,  except 
the  extreme  north  end,  which  is  occupied  by  the  Japanese  exhibit. 

Windmill  Exhibit. — Located  to  the  south  of  Machinery  hall.  Nvmbers  of  windmills  are 
to  be  seen  in  operation. 

Miscellaneous  Buildings. — In  addition  to  the  above  mentioned  buildings  there  have  been 
erected  for  Exposition  purposes  the  following:  Photographic  Building,  Model  Building,  Silos, 
stock  barns,  perron  and  sheds,  freight  houses,  stock  ring,  company's  shops,  company's  barn,  tank

The  World's  Congresses  of  1595. 


WHAT  THEY  ARE  AND  WHEN  AND  WHERE  THEY  WILL  BE  HELD. 


The  World's  Congress  Auxiliary. — President,  Charles  C.  Bonney;  vice-president,  Thomas 
B.  Bryan;  treasurer,  Lyman  J.  Gage;  secretaries,  Benj.  Butterworth,  Clarence  E.  Young.  The 
Woman's  Branch  of  the  Auxiliary:  President,  Mrs.  Potter  Palmer;  vice-president,  Mrs.  Charles 
Henrotin. 

The  World's  Congress  Auxiliary  is  not  only  the  accredited  representative  of  the  World's 
Columbian  -Exposition,  but  also  of  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  for  the  conduct  of  a 
series  of  International  Congresses  at  Chicago  during  the  Exposition  season  of  1893. 

The  official  announcement  of  the  auxiliary  has  been  sent  to  foreign  countries  by  the 
Department  of  State,  and  the  foreign  governments  have  been  invited  to  appoint  delegates  in 
addition  to  those  who  will  attend  as  the  representatives  of  institutions  and  societies. 

The  chief  object  of  the  auxiliary  is  to  procure  the  maturest  thought  of  the  world  on  all  of 
the  great  questions  of  the  age  in  a  form  best  adapted  for  universal  publication.  Unprepared 
discussion  or  miscellaneous  debate  will  not  be  desirable,  but  instead  thereof,  the  time  at  disposal 
after  the  delivery  of  the  formal  discourses,  will  be  given  to  the  most  eminent  persons  present, 
who  will  speak  on  the  call  of  the  presiding  officer,  and  to  whom  such  previous  notice  as  may  be 
practicable  will  be  given. 

The  summaries  of  progress  to  be  presented,  and  the  problems  of  the  age  to  be  stated,  will 
not  be  submitted  to  the  vote  of  those  present,  but  will  be  offered  for  subsequent  deliberate  exam- 
ination by  the  enlightened  minds  of  all  countries  for  unrestricted  discussion  in  the  forum,  the 
pulpit,  and  the  public  press,  and  finally  for  the  impartial  judgment  of  that  exalted  public  opinion 
which  expresses  the  consensus  of  such  minds. 

As  soon  as  the  location  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  was  fixed  at  Chicago  it  was 
felt  that  no  merely  material  exhibition  would  answer  the  demands  of  the  time.  The  intellectual 
and  moral  forces  of  the  nineteenth  century  having  become  so  potent  and  active,  that  there  at 
once  arose  a  demand  for  their  proper  presentation  in  connection  with  the  proposed  Exposition. 
A  formal  proposal  of  a  series  of. World's  Congresses  soon  followed,  and  the  evolution  of  that  pro- 
posal steadily  proceeded  until  the  present  time.  The  primary  idea  of  the  project  was  that  many 
of  the  leaders  of  human  progress  will  naturally  come  to  the  Exposition  of  1893,  and  that  it  is  due 
to  them  that  some  arrangements  be  made  under  which  those  of  similar  tastes  and  callings  from 
the  different  countries  may  form  the  acquaintance  of  each  other  and  engage  in  friendly  confer- 
ence on  matters  of  common  concern. 

This  primary  idea  developed  into  the  secondary  thought  that  to  increase  the  benefits  of 
such  acquaintance  and  conferences  and  to  enlarge  the  attendance  at  the  Exposition,  a  reasonable 
effort  should  be  made  to  induce  a  general  attendance  of  those  persons  who  have  taken  an  active 
part  in  any  of  the  great  fields  of  human  endeavor. 

This  secondary  idea  speedily  developed  into  a  third — that  instead  of  leaving  the  intellectual 
and  moral  administration  of  1893  to  occupy  a  merely  incidental  relation  to  the  material  exhibit,  a 
proper  organization  should  be  effected,  an  adequate  and  comprehensive  plan  devised,  and  a  per- 
sistent and  well  directed  effort  made  to  crown  the  Exposition  of  1893  by  a  proper  presentation  of 
the  achievements  of  human  genius  in  a  series  of  great  assemblies  to  which  the  chief  apostles  of 
progress  in  all  countries  should  be  invited,  and  which  should  be  closed  with  the  formation  of  a 
series  of  world-wide  fraternities,  to  promote  the  future  welfare  of  mankind. 

The  work  of  the  auxiliary  has  been  divided  into  nineteen  great  departments,  with  more 
than  one  hundred  divisions  in  which  congresses  are  to  be  held.  Each  division  has  its  own  local 
Committee  of  Organization,  and  each  committee  has  its  own  advisory  council,  composed  of 
eminent  representatives,  selected  from  different  parts  of  the  world,  who  are  interested  in  the  sub- 
ject to  which  it  pertains. 

The  World's  Congresses  of  1893  will  be  held  in  the  permanent  Memorial  Art  Palace, 
erected  on  the  Lake  Front  Park,  through  the  co-operation  of  the  Art  Institute  of  Chicago,  the  City 
of  Chicago,  and  the  Directory  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition.  This  "World's  Congress 
Art  Palace"  will  have  two  large  audience  rooms  arranged  to  seat  about  three  thousand  persons 
each;  and  more  than  twenty  smaller  rooms,  which  will  accommodate  from  one  hundred  to  seven 
hundred  persons  each.  Meetings  of  such  a  character  as  to  draw  a  large  popular  audience  will 
be  held  in  the  main  audience  rooms,  while  meetings  of  chapters  or  sections  of  different  con- 
gresses for  the  discussion  of  subjects  of  a  more  limited  interest,  will  be  held  in  the  smaller  rooms. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.

It  will  thus  be  possible  /.o  have  two  general  congresses  and  twenty  special  congresses  or  con- 
ferences in  session  at  the  same  time,  and  to  have  three  times  as  many  meetings  within  a  single 
day  by  arranging  different  programmes  for  morning,  afternoon,  and  evening  sessions;  but  it  is 
not  anticipated  that  so  many  daily  meetings  will  be  required  in  any  department  of  the  World's 
Congress  work,  nor  that,  as  a  general  rule,  any  congress,  or  section,  will  desire  to  meet  more  than 
once  or  twice  in  a  given  day. 

No  admission  fee  will  be  charged  to  any  of  the  congresses  held  under  the  direct  auspices 
of  the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary,  and  all  persons  interested  will  be  admitted  as  attending 
members  after  having  registered  in  the  office  of  the  secretary  where  tickets  may  be  obtained.

General  Rules  and  Regulations. 


Early  in  the  organization  of  the  Exposition  rules  and  regulations  were    pro- 
mulgated for  the  benefit  of  exhibitors,  concessionaires,  etc.    They  are  as  follows: 

1.  Exhibitors  will  not  be  charged  for  space.  A  limited  amount  of  power  will  be  supplied, 
gratuitously.  This  amount  will  be  settled  definitely  at  the  time  space  is  allotted.  Power  irr 
excess  of  that  allotted  gratuitously  will  be  furnished  by  the  Exposition  at  a  fixed  price.  Demands, 
for  such  excess  must  be  made  before  the  allotment  of  space. 

2.  Any  single  piece  or  section  of  any  exhibit,  of  greater  weight  than  30,000  pounds,  wilt 
not  be  accepted  if  machinery  is  required  for  its  installation. 

3.  Exhibitors  must  provide,  at  their  own  expense,  all  show  cases,  cabinets,  shelving,, 
counters,  fittings,  etc.,  which  they  may  require,  and  all  countershafts,  pulleys,  belting,  etc.,  for  the= 
transmission  of  power  from  the  main-shafts. 

4.  Exhibitors  will  be  confined  to  such  exhibits  as  are  specified  in  their  applications. 
When  the  allotment  of  space  is  definitely  made,  exhibitors  will  be  notified  of  their  allotment  of 
space  and  its  location,  and  will  be  furnished  with  a  permit  to  occupy  the  same,  subject  to  the 
general  rules  and  regulations  adopted  for  the  government  of  the  Exposition  and  the  special  rules, 
governing  the  Department  in  which  their  exhibits  will  be  made.  Permits  for  space  will  not  be- 
transferable. 

5.  Special  rules  will  be  issued  governing  each  department  and  the  sale  of  articles  within, 
the  buildings  or  on  the  grounds,  but  no  article  shall  be  sold  for  removal  previous  to  the  close  of 
the  Exposition,  unless  a  concession  or  privilege  for  the  same  has  been  granted  by  the  Committeer 
on  Ways  and  Means.  "Privileges"  refer  to  the  sale  of  such  goods  as  are  manufactured  in  order 
to  illustrate  a  machine  or  process  exhibited.  "Concessions"  refer  to  the  sale  of  all  goods  and 
operation  of  attractions  from  which  the  securing  of  revenue  is  the  sole  object  of  the  lessees.  Ther 
removal  of  exhibits  will  not  be  permitted  prior  to  the  close  of  the  Exposition. 

6.  Decorations,  signs,  dimensions  of  cabinets,  shelving,  counters,  etc.,  and  the  arrange- 
ment of  exhibits,  must  conform  to  the  general  plan  adopted  by  the  Director-General. 

7.  Reasonable  precautions  will  be  taken  for  the  preservation  of  exhibits;  but  the  World's 
Columbian  Exposition  will  not  be  responsible  for  any~damage  to,  or  for  the  loss  or  destruction 
of,  an  exhibit  resulting  from  any  cause.  \^ 

8.  All  packages  containing  exhibits  intended  for  the  several  Departments  must  be  ad- 
dressed to  the  "Director-General,  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  Chicago,  Illinois,  U.  S.  A."  Irk 
addition,  the  following  information  must  be  written  on  the  outside  of  each  package: 

(a)  Department  in  which  exhibit  is  to  be  installed. 

(b)  The  State  or  Territory  from  which  the  package  comes. 

(c)  The  name  and  address  of  the  exhibitor. 

(d)  The  number  of  the  permit  for  space. 

\e)  Total  number  of  packages  sent  by  the  same  exhibitor. 

The  serial  number  must  be  marked  on  each  package  and  a  list  of  the  contents  enclosed  in* 
each  package.     Freight  must  be  prepaid. 

9.  Favorable  terms  will  be  arranged  by  which  exhibitors  may  insure  their  own  goods. 
Exhibitors  may  employ  watchmen  of  their  own  choice  to  guard  their  goods  during  the  hours  the 
Exposition  is  open  to  the  public;  Such  watchmen  will  be  subject  to  the  rules  and  regulations 
governing  the  employes  of  the  Exposition;  but  no  exhibitor  will  be  permitted  to  employ  attend- 
ants for  service  in  any  building,  except  upon  written  consent  of  the  Chief  of  the  Department. 

10.  The  expense  of  transporting,  receiving,  unpacking  and  arranging  exhibits,  as  well  as 
their  removal  at  the  close  of  the  Exposition,  shall  be  paid  by  the  exhibitor. 

11.  If  no  authorized  person  is  at  hand  to  take  charge  of  exhibits  within  a  reasonable  time 
after  arrival  at  the  Exposition  buildings,  they  will  be  removed  and  stored  at  the  cost  and  risk  of 
whomsoever  it  may  concern. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  209 

12.  The  installation  of  heavy  articles  requiring  foundations,  should,  by  special  arrange- 
ment with  the  Chief  of  Construction,  begin  as  soon  as  the  progress  of  the  work  on  the  buildings 
will  permit.  The  general  reception  of  articles  at  the  Exposition  buildings  will  commence 
November  1,  1892,  and  no  article  will  be  admitted  after  April  10,  1893.  Space  not  taken  posses- 
sion of  April  1,  1893,  will  revert  to  the  Director-General  for  reassignment. 

13.  If  exhibits  are  intended  for  competition  it  must  be  so  stated  by  the  exhibitor,  or  they 
will  be  excluded  from  examination  for  award. 

14.  The  Chief  of  each  Department  will  provide  cards  of  uniform  size  and  character,  which 
-may  be  affixed  to  exhibits,  and  on  which  will  be  stated  only  the  exhibitor's  name  and  address, 
the'name  of  the  object  or  article  exhibited,  and  its  catalogue  number. 

15.  Articles  that  are  in  any  way  dangerous  or  offensive,  also  patent  medicines,  nostrums, 
and  empirical  preparations  whose  ingredients  are  concealed,  will  not  be  admitted  to  the 
.Exposition. 

16.  Exhibitors'  business  cards  and  brief  descriptive  circulars  only  may  be  placed  within 
such  exhibitor's  space,  for  distribution.  The  right  is  reserved  to  restrict  or  discontinue  this 
privilege  whenever  it  is  carried  to  excess  or  becomes  an  annoyance  to  visitors. 

17.  The  Chief  of  each  Department,  with  the  approval  of  the  Director  General,  has  the 
power  to  order  the  removal  of  any  article  he  may  consider  dangerous,  detrimental  to  or  incom- 
patible with  the  object  or  decorum  of  the  Exposition,  or  the  comfort  and  safety  of  the  public. 

18.  Exhibitors  will  be  held  responsible  for  the  cleanliness  of  their  exhibits  and  the  space 
surrounding  the  same.  All  exhibits  must  be  in  complete  order  each  day,  at  least  thirty  minutes 
before  the  hour  of  opening.  Xo  work  of  this  character  will  be  permitted  during  the  hours  the 
"building  is  open  to  the  public.  In  case  of  failure  on  the  part  of  any  exhibitor  to  observe  this 
rule,  the  Chief  of  the  Department  may  adopt  such  means  to  enforce  the  same  as  circumstances 
may  suggest. 

19.  Sketches,  drawings,  photographs,  or  other  reproductions  of  articles  exhibited  will 
only  be  allowed  on  the  joint  assent  of  the  exhibitor  and  the  Director-General;  but  general  views 
of  portions  of  the  interiors  of  the  buildings  may  be  made  on  the  approval  of  the  Committee  on 
Ways  and  Means. 

20.  Immediately  after  the  close  of  the  Exposition  exhibitors  must  remove  their  effects, 
and  complete  such  removal  before  January  1,  1894.  Goods  then  remaining  will  be  removed  and 
disposed  of  under  the  direction  of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition. 

21.  An  official  catalogue  is  published  in  English,  French,  German  and  Spanish.  The  sale 
■of  catalogues  is  reserved 'exclusively  by  the  Exposition  Company. 

22.  Each  person  who  becomes  an  exhibitor  thereby  agrees  to  conform  strictly  to  the 
Tules  and  regulations  established  for  the  government  of  the  Exposition. 

23.  Communications  concerning  applications  for  space  and  negotiations  relative  thereto 
should  be  addressed  to  the  "Director-General,  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  Chicago,  Illinois, 
U.  S.  A." 

24.  The  Management  reserves  the  right  to  construe,  amend  or  add  to  all  rules  and  regula- 
■ontis  whenever  it  may  be  deemed  necessary  for  the  interests  of  the  Exposition. 

GEORGE  R.  DAVIS, 

Director-General. 

Award  of  fledals  and  Certificates. 

Extracts  from  the   adopted    report  of  the   Committee   on  Awards  of    the 
World's  Columbian  Exposition  : 

The  committee  recommends  that  awards  shall  be  granted  upon  specific  points  of  excel- 
lence or  advancement,  formulated  in  words,  by  a  board  of  judges  or  examiners,  who  shall  be 
competent  experts;  and  the  evidence  of  these  awards  shall  be  "parchment  certificates,  accom- 
panied by  bronze  medals. 

The  awards  of  these  boards  of  judges  or  examiners  will  thus  constitute  an  enduring  and 
historical  record  of  the  development  and  progress  as  represented  by  the  exhibits  in  question;  the 
parchment  certificate  will,  by  sufficient  terms  of  identification,  evidence  the  award,  and  the  bronze 
medal  will  serve  to  the  exhibitor  as  an  enduring  memento  of  his  success.  Those  exhibits  which 
in  the  opinion  of  the  juries  and  examiners  do  not  possess  sufficient  excellence  or  intrinsic 
-development  to  warrant  awards,  will  simply  be  scheduled  in  the  General  Catalogue  of  the  Expo- 
sition. 


210  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

It  is  recommended  that  there  should  be  but  one  class  or  kind  of  medal;  that  they  should 
be  made  of  bronze;  that  they  should  be  works  of  art,  and  selected  from  competitive  tests  by  the 
Committee  on  Fine  Arts  of  the  commission,  or  the  joint  committees  on  fine  arts  of  the  commis- 
sion and  the  local  directory,  if  that  should  seem  more  desirable. 

The  awards  and  the  appointment  of  all  judges  and  examiners  for  the  Exposition,  by  the 
express  terms  of  the  sixth  section  of  the  Act  of  Congress  approved  April  25,  1890,  fall  within  the 
exclusive  jurisdiction  of  the  commission. 

Free  Importation  of  Articles. 

The  United  States  Government  regulations  governing  the  free  importation 
of  articles  for  exhibition  at  the  Exposition,  as  issued  by  the  Treasury  Department 
at  Washington,  were  as  follows: 

1.  It  is  the  purpose  of  this  department  to  secure  expedition  and  security  to  all  articles 
imported  for  exhibition  at  the  Chicago  Exposition,  without  the  exaction  of  customs  duties,  fees 
or  charges,  and  to  arrange  the  proceedings  on  entry  so  as  to  afford  the  utmost  convenience  and 
despatch. 

2.  In  order  to  obtain  the  benefits  of  this  arrangement,  every  package  destined  for  the 
Exposition  should  have  affixed  to  it  by  the  foreign  shipper  one  or  more  labels  representing  the 
flag  of  the  country  to  which  it  belongs.  This  label  should  be  about  eight  by  twelve  inches  in 
size,  and  should  bear  across  the  face,  in  plain  black  letters,  the  inscription  "Exposition  at  Chi- 
cago." All  packages  should  be  plainly  marked,  as  follows:  (1)  "Collector  of  Customs,  Chicago;" 
(2)  "Exhibits  for  Columbian  Exposition;"  (3)  Name  of  consignee  or  agent  at  the  port  of  first 
arrival  in  the  United  States;  (4)  The  shipping  marks  and  number  of  the  exhibitor;  (5)  Name  and 
address  of  the  exhibitor. 

3.  Every  foreign  exhibitor  will  prepare,  in  duplicate,  a  statement  in  the  form  of  an  invoice, 
which  shall  show  the  name  of  the  exhibitor,  the  marks  and  numbers  of  the  packages,  with  a  de- 
scription of  their  contents  and  a  declaration  of  the  quantity  and  the  market  value  of  each  sep- 
arate kind  thereof  in  the  country  of  production.  This  statement  must  be  signed  by  the  exhibitor, 
but  will  require  no  further  verification.  One  of  the  invoices  will  be  transmitted  by  mail  to  the 
Collector  of  Customs  at  Chicago,  and  the  other  to  the  consignee  of  the  goods  at  the  port  of  first 
arrival. 

4.  As  a  matter  of  convenience,  it  is  recommended  that  all  packages  intended  for  the  Expo- 
sition shall  be  consigned  to  an  agent  or  forwarder,  or  commissioner,  at  the  port  of  first  arrival, 
who  will  attend  to  customs  business  incident  to  the  transfer  of  packages  from  the  importing  ves- 
sel to  a  bonded  route  for  transportation  to  Chicago.  All  the  bonded  transportation  lines  will  dis- 
charge their  freight  at  stations  in  Chicago  to  be  arranged  within  the  Exposition  grounds,  and 
packages  marked  as  suggested  in  Article  2  may  be  taken  to  their  respective  divisions  as  soon  as 
they  have  been  identified  by  the  customs  officers. 

5.  (Shows  the  list  of  companies  bonded  for  the  transportation  of  merchandise  to  Chicago, 
without  appraisement.)  ^ 

6.  The  consignee  of  the  merchandise  at  the^first  port  of  arrival  must  present  at  the  cus- 
tom house  the  invoice  above  described,  with  a  bill  of  lading  and  an'  entry  in  duplicate  made  out 
upon  the  special  form  to  be  provided  for  this  purpose  by  the  Treasury  Department,  which  shall 
show  the  name  of  the  foreign  shipper  or  owner,  the  name  of  the  importing  vessel,  the  marks  and 
numbers  of  the  packages,  with  a  statement  of  the  nature  of  their  contents  and  of  their  foreign 
value,  as  declared  in  the  invoice.  The  entry  must  also  indicate  the  bonded  route  by  which  the 
goods  are  to  be  transported  to  Chicago,  and  must  be  signed  by  the  consignee.  No  other  declara- 
tion will  be  required.  The  goods  will  be  consigned,  on  the  customs  entry,  to  "Collector  of  Cus- 
toms, Chicago,"  and  there  need  be  no  computation  of  duties  upon  this  entry,  but  the  amount 
charged  against  the  bond  of  the  transportation  company  shall  be  double  the  invoice  value. 

7.  The  collector  will  thereupon  issue  a  special  permit  bearing  the  words  "Chicago  Expo- 
sition," authorizing  the  transfer  of  the  goods  from  the  ship  to  the  bonded  railroad  for  transporta- 
tion to  Chicago,  and  will  record  and  file  one  of  the  entries  in  his  office  and  send  the  other  by  mail, 
with  the  invoice,  to  the  collector  at  Chicago. 

8.  The  permit  will  be  taken  by  the  agent  or  consignee  to  the  inspector  on  board  the 
importing  vessel,  who  will  thereupon  send  the  goods,  by  a  cartman  duly  licensed,  to  be  delivered 
under  the  supervision  of  a  customs  officer  to  the  transportation  company. 

9.  The  consignee  will  also  prepare  a  manifest  of  the  goods,  which,  after  being  duly  certi- 
fied, will  be  handed  to  the  conductor  of  the  car  carrying  the  same,  and  a  duplicate  copy  must  be 
sent  by  mail  to  the  Collector  of  Customs  at  Chicago.  Upon  arrival  at  Chicago  of  any  car  con- 
taining such  articles,  the  conductor  or  agent  of  the  railroad  company  will  report  such  arrival  by 
the  presentation  of  the  manifest  to  the  customs  officer  designated  to  receive  it,  who  shall  com- 
pare the  same  with  the  copy  received  by  mail,  and  superintend  the  opening  of  the  car,  taking 
care  to  identify  the  packages  by  marks  and  numbers  as  described  in  the  manifest.  In  case  of 
the  non-receipt  of  the  manifest,  the  unloading  of  cars  need  not,  for  that  reason,  be  delayed,  but 
the  invoice  may  be  used  to  identify  the  packages. 

10.  Articles  sent  by  foreign  governments  to  the  Exposition,  which  are  used  solely  for 
government  purposes  and'  are  not  intended  for  sale,  will  be  admitted  to  entry  at  the  exterior  port 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  211 


of  arrival  on  certificates  of  the  proper  foreign  commissioner,  without  the  production  of  invoice. 
But  it  is  desired  that  the  estimated  value  of  each  package  shall  be  stated  on  the  certificate  or  the 
bill  of  lading,  in  order  that  the  pecuniary  responsibility  of  the  transportation  company  may  be 
fixed. 

11.  These  regulations  will  also  apply  to  goods  sent  to  the  Exposition  from  foreign  contig- 
uous territory.  All  articles  destined  for  the  Exposition,  arriving  from  Canada  on  through  cars 
under  consular  seal,  and  articles  which  are  sent  direct  by  vessel  from  any  foreign  port  to  Chicago, 
must  be  consigned  by  the  foreign  shipper  to  the  "Collector  of  Customs"  at  that  port,  and  on  entry 
being  made,  as  in  the  case  of  goods  arriving  at  the  seaboard,  a  permit  will  be  issued  for  the 
transfer  of  the  goods  directly  to  the  Exposition  grounds. 

12.  The  buildings  and  space  set  apart  for  the  purposes  of  the  Exposition  are  constituted 
"Constructive  Bonded  Warehouses  and  Yards,"  and  all  foreign  articles  placed  therein  under  the 
supervision  of  the  customs  officers,  and  which  have  been  specially  imported  for  exhibition  therein, 
will  be  treated  the  same  as  merchandise  in  bond.  No  warehouse  entry  will  be  required  at  Chi- 
cago in  order  to  obtain  entrance  for  such  goods,  but  the  latter  will  be  kept  under  customs  super- 
vision in  accordance  with  the  general  regulations  governing  merchandise  in  bonded  warehouses, 
except  as  herein  otherwise  provided  for.  The  collector  at  Chicago  will  keep  a  special  record,  in 
the  form  of  a  warehouse  ledger,  of  every  invoice,  assigning  serial  numbers  to  the  same  in  order 
of  their  reception,  and  the  transportation  entry  received  from  the  collector  at  the  port  of  arrival 
will  be  considered  the  warehouse  entry. 

13.  After  the  packages  have  been  placed  in  the  respective  positions  assigned  to  them  by 
the  officers  of  the  Exposition,  they  will  be  opened  by  an  officer  of  the  customs,  who  shall  prima- 
rily identify  the  contents  with  the  invoice  only  as  to  quantity  and  character.  Due  examination 
of  the  contents  and  appraisement  of  values  will  be  subsequently  made  by  the  appraiser,  who 
shall  be  furnished  with  the  invoice  of  the  articles  to  be  appraised,  and  shall  indorse  his  report  of 
appraisement  upon  such  invoice  in  like  manner  as  if  such  articles  were  regularly  entered  for 
consumption  or  warehouse.  The  entry  will  then  be  liquidated,  the  full  amount  of  duties  ascer- 
tained, and  the  whole  transaction  entered  upon  the  prescribed  record.  All  the  proceedings 
relating  to  the  examination,  appraisement  and  liquidation  shall  be  the  same  as  on  ordinary 
importations. 

14.  As,  under  the  United  States  tariff,  the  cost  of  packages  is  made  a  part  of  the  dutiable 
value  of  imported  goods,  the  empty  boxes,  barrels  and  casks  from  which  imported  articles  havo 
been  taken  in  order  to  be  displayed  should  be  carefully  preserved  so  as  to  be  repacked  for  exper- 
tation  at  the  close  of  the  Exposition.  Dutiable  packing  cases  not  exported  will  be  subject  to  the 
pavment  of  duty.  It  is  expected  that  a  place  will  be  provided  for  the  storage  of  such  empty 
packages,  and  the  latter  should  be  recorded  and  numbered  for  identification. 

15.  Packages  containing  articles  imported  for  gratuitous  distribution,  or  for  actual  use 
and  consumption  in  restaurants,  refreshment  rooms,  etc.,  must  be  regularly  entered  for  con- 
sumption and  duty  paid  thereon  before  being  delivered  by  the  customs  officers. 

16.  The  articles  after  having  been  received  in  the  Exposition  will  remain  under  the  custody 
of  the  customs  officers,  and  must  not  be  removed  from  the  place  assigned  without  a  permit  from  the 
Collector  of  Customs  or  the  officer  who  may  be  designated  by  him  to  grant  such  permit.  In  no 
case  shall  such  articles  be  released  from  the  custody  of  the  customs  officers,  unless  the  same 
shall  have  been  regularly  withdrawn  for  consumption,  for  warehouse  or  for  export.  The  requi- 
site number  of  customs  inspectors  will  be  stationed  at  every  place  containing  foreign  exhibits, 
each  of  whom  will  be  placed  in  charge  of  a  section,  which  shall  be  numbered  and  designated  as 
a  customs  division.  A  list  of  the  articles  entered  for  exhibit  in  his  section  will  be  furnished  to 
each  of  such  inspectors,  who  shall  retain  a  copy  thereof,  certify  the  original  and  transmit  it  to 
the  collector. 

IT.  Sales  may  be  made,  during  the  Exposition,  of  articles  imported  for  exhibition, 
but  deliveries  of  the  same  will  be  allowed  only  at  the  close  of  the  Exposition.  For  this  purpose 
a  regular  withdrawal  as  from  bond  will  be  required,  and  duty  must  be  paid  according  to  law. 
In  case  the  articles  are  sold  for  delivery  at  some  port  other  than  Chicago,  a  withdrawal  may  be 
made  for  transportation  and  re-warehouse,  duty  to  be  paid  at  the  place  of  destination.  Any 
exhibitor  of  articles  which  shall  be  sold  may  authorize  withdrawal  of  the  same  by  the  purchaser, 
such  authority  to  be  contained  in  a  written  notice  to  the  Collector  at  Chicago.  After  the  filing  of 
such  notice  the  person  specified  in  the  same  shall  be  recognized  as  entitled  to  all  rights  and  sub- 
ject to  all  the  liabilities  of  the  original  importer. 

18.  Withdrawal  from  bond  can  not  be  made  for  less  than  one  entire  package,  but  in  case 
of  accidental  damage  or  destruction  it  is  not  intended  to  assess  duties  upon  such  articles  as  shall 
not  have  entered  into  actual  consumption  in  this  country.  On  articles  which  shall  have  suffered 
diminution  or  deterioration  from  incidental  handling  and  necessary  exposure,  the  duty,  if  paid, 
will  be  assessed  according  to  the  appraised  value  at  the  time  of  the  withdrawal  for  consumption. 

19.  At  the  close  of  the  Exposition  all  goods  intended  for  exportation  will  be  transported 
in  bond  to  the  seaboard  or  exterior  port,  and  exported  therefrom  under  the  general  regulations 
for  immediate  export  in  bond,  as  modified  by  special  regulations  to  be  in  due  time  provided. 

20.  Any  exhibitor  who  may  import  merchandise  in  excess  of  that  which  he  desires  to  place 
on  view  in  the  Exposition  may  make  regular  warehouse  entry  of  the  same  on  its  arrival  at  Chi- 
cago, whereupon  it  shall  be  taken  to  a  United  States  bonded  warehouse  and  stored  without 
payment  of  duty,  subject  to  the  regulations  provided  for  bonded  goods.  Withdrawals  of  mer- 
chandise stored  under  these  conditions,  if  made  for  the  purpose  of  placing  the  same  within  the 


212  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

Exposition,  will  be  treated  under  the  provisions  for  entry  on  arrival  at  first  port  of  entry,  and  no 
duty  will  be  required  to  be  paid.  Such  merchandise  must  be  delivered  at  the  Exposition,  in 
charge  of  a  customs  officer.  Should  any  merchandise  be  abandoned  by  the  cwner  at  the  close 
of  the  Exposition,  it  will  be  placed  in  a  general  order  warehouse  for  twelve  mmths;  and,  if  then 
unclaimed,  will  be  sold  for  account  of  the  owner. 

21.  The  privileges  granted  by  virtue  of  these  regulations  are  intended  solely  for  the  ben- 
efit of  exhibitors  at  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  and  with  the  view  of  relieving  them,  so 
far  as  practicable,  of  delays  and  vexations  in  connection  with  the  customs  business  pertaining  to 
their  importations.  Any  attempt  to  take  advantage  of  these  regulations  in  order  to  evade  the 
tariff  laws  of  the  United  States,  will  subject  the  offender  to  all  the  penalties  prescribed  by  those 
laws,  including  confiscation  of  goods  and  fine  and  imprisonment. 

22.  The  regulations  issued  by  this  department  on  January  7,  1891,  are  hereby  revoked, 
and  the  foregoing  adopted  in  lieu  thereof.

BRIDGEPORT 
Elastic  Goring 

is  absolutely  unequalled.  It  has  been  used  for  years  by  thousands  of  manu= 
facturers,  in  millions  of  shoes,  with  perfect  satisfaction. 

It  is  the  lightest  and  most  elastic  of  all  Goring,  and  is  fully  warranted 
in  every  respect  for  two  years. 

It  looks  the  best  and  wears  the  longest  of  any  Goring  manufactured 
in  Europe  or  America. 

It  easily  surpasses  all  others  except  in  price. 

We  are  the  largest  manufacturers  of  Elastic  Goring  in  the  United  States, 
and  depend  upon  the  superlative  merits  of  our  productions  rather  than 
combination   with  other  manufacturers  to  extend  our  sales.

DEPARTMENT  H— MANUFACTURES. 

T^HE  interest  of  home  manufactures  and  the  world-wide  rivalry  of  inventive 
genius  in  the  production  of  labor-saving  devices  and  improved  machinery  to 
meet  the  ever  growing  demand,  are  fittingly  illustrated  in  the  great  variety  of 
exhibits  in  the  Department  of  Manufactures,  and  make  it  one  of  the  most  inter- 
esting and  instructive  features  of  the  Exposition.  The  department  embraces 
thirty-five  exceptionally  large  groups,  divided  into  214  classes  of  the  leading 
industries,  collectively  representing  the  products  o'f  the  modern  machinery  and 
man's  skillful  handiwork  in  many  forms  and  designs.  Notice  to  intending  ex- 
hibitors was  given' before  installation  that  it  was  the  desire  to  encourage  only 
such  displays  of  superior  excellence  as  would  best  exemplify  the  signal  advances 
made  in  the  several  branches  of  progressive  manufacturing  industries  of  home 
and  foreign  production,  rather  than  the  semblance  of  a  great  and  varied  ware- 
house display;  hence  the  space  allotted  has  been  reduced  to  the  minimum  in 
order  to  accommodate  the  greatest  number  and  render  justice  to  all,  irrespective 
of  nations,  states  or  cities.     It  is  hoped  that  every  American  exhibitor  will  keep 


before  him  the  fact

The  interest  taken  in  the  Exposition  by  foreign  exhibitors  is  best  shown  by  men- 
tioning that  the  following  nations,  among  others,  are  represented  in  the  displays 
grouped  in  this  department: 

Algeria,  Argentine  Republic,  Austria,  Belgium,  Bolivia,  Brazil,  British  Guiana,

The  building  constructed   for    Manufactures    and    Liberal  Arts  is    notable 


•224  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

for  its  symmetrical  proportions  and  is  the  mammoth  structure  of  •the  Expo- 
sition; indeed,  it  is  the  largest  building  in  area  ever  erected  on  the  western 
hemisphere  and  the  largest  under  a  roof  in  the  whole  world.  Despite  this  fact, 
every  foot  of  available  space  is  taken  and  it  is  even  asserted  by  conservative  judges 
that  more  than  double  the  space  could  have  been  assigned  to  most  worthy  exhibits,  and 
even  then  the  clamor  for  "more  rooirt'  would  not  have  been  wholly  satisfied.  The 
immensity  of  this  building  is  alone  intensely  wonderful  in  its  grandeur. 
It  is  three  times  larger  than  the  Cathedral  of  St.  Peter,  in  Rome,  and  four  times 
larger  than  the  old  Roman  Colosseum,  which  seated  80,000  persons.  The  central 
hall,  which  is  a  single  room  without  a  supporting  pillar  under  its  roof,  has  in  its 
floor  a  fraction  less  than  eleven  acres,  and  the  entire  building  could  comfortably 
seat  300,000  people.  There  are  7,000,000  feet  of  lumber  in  the  floor,  and  it 
required  five  carloads  of  nails  to  fasten  the  215  carloads  of  flooring  to  the'joists. 
The  exterior  outline  covers  an  area  of  nearly  thirty-two  acres,  and,  including 
galleries  encircling  the  interior,  affords  in  the  aggregate  forty-four  acres  of  ex- 
hibiting space.  This  vast  .structure  is  covered  with  an  arched  roof  of  steel  and 
glass,  affording  ample^  light  and  ventilation.  It  measures  1,687  by  7%7  feet. 
Height  of  walls,  66  feet.  Height  of  four  center  pavilions,  122  feet.  Height 
of  four  corner  pavilions  97  feet.  Height  of  roof  over  central  hall,  237.6 
feet.  Height  of  roof-truss,  over  central  hall,  212.9  ^eet-  Height  clear,  from 
the  floor,  202.9  feet.  Span  of  truss,  382  feet.  Span  in  the  clear,  354 
feet.  Width  of  truss  at  base,  14  feet;  at  hip,  32  feet;  at  apex,  to 
feet.  Weight  of  truss,  300,000  pounds;  with  purlines,  400,000  pounds.  Cost, 
$1,700,000.  Material — 17,000,000  feet  of  lumber;  12,000,000  pounds  of  steel  in 
trusses  of  central  hall;  2,000,000  pounds  of  iron  in  roof  of  nave.  There  are  11 
acres  of  skylights  and  4a:carloads  of  glass  in  the  roof.  Within  the  building  a 
gallery  50  feet  wide  extends  around  all  four  sides,  and  projecting  from  this  are 
86  smaller  galleries,  12  feet  wide,  from  which  visitors  may  survey  the  vast  array 
of  exhibits  and  the  busy  scene  below.  The  galleries  are  approached  upon  the 
main  floor  by  30  great  staircases,  the  flights  of  which  are  12  feet  wide  each. 
"Columbia  Avenue,"  50  feet  wide,  extends  through  the  mammoth  building 
longitudinally,  and  an  avenue  of  like  width  crosses  it  at  right  angles  at  the 
center.  The  building  is  rectangular  in  form,  and  the  interior  is  divided  into  a 
great  central  hall,  380  by  1,280  feet,  which  is  surrounded  by  a  nave,  107  feet 
wide.  It  is  in  the  Corinthian  style  of  architecture,  and  in  point  of  being  severely 
classic  excels  nearly  all  of  the  other  edifices.  The  long  array  of  columns  and 
arches,  which  its  facades  present,  is  relieved  from  monotony  by  very  elaborate 
ornamentation.  In  this  ornamentation  female  figures,  symbolical  of  the  various 
arts  and  sciences,  play  a  conspicuous  and  very  attractive  part.  The  exterior  of 
the  building  is  covered  with  staff,  which  is  treated  to  represent  marble.  There 
are  four  great  entrances,  one  in  the  center  of  each  facade.  These  are  designed 
in  the  manner  of  triumphal  arches,  the  central  archway  of  each  being  40  feet

m  American  Glass  Factory  in  lull  Operation. 

MONG   the  most  interesting  exhibits  to  be  seen  at  the  World's  Fair  is  the 
complete  cut-glass  manufactory  of  the  Libbey  Glass  Co. 

There  the  many  processes  of  glass  manufacturing  may  be  seen,  fiom 
the  mixing  of  sand,  the  oxide  of  lead,  the  alkalies  and  the  lime,  to  the 
latest  and  most  approved  methods  of  cutting  and  finishing. 

The  most  prominent  feature  of  the  industry  is  the  glass  blowing  depart- 
ment, where  the  lively  gathering  boys,  thrusting  long  irons  into  the  white- 
hot  mouth  of  the  crucible,  and  bringing  forth  the  waxy  mass,  and  the  artisans 
who  blow  and  fashion  it  into  many  shapes,  may  be  seen  constantly  at  work  at 
this  interesting  vocation. 

In  the  glass  cutting  department  forty  men  are  continuously  engaged  in  cutting 
the  most  delicate  and  intricate  patterns.  This  process  is  very  instructive,  and  may  be  easily 
observed  by  all  who  may  desire. 


LIBBEY  GLASS  CO.'S  FACTORY,  HIDWAY  PLAISANCE. 

In  the  decorating  department  are  skilled  artists  painting  upon  glass,  which  is  afterward  put: 
into  the  kilns  and  fired.     Every  branch  of  American  manufacture  is  fully  shown  in  this  building. 

Probably  nothing  at  the  Fair  is  more  interesting  than  glass  spinning  and  weaving.  Spin- 
ning wheels  six  feet  in  diameter,  making  from  300  to  500  revolutions  a  minute,  draw  from  glass 
rods  melted  before  a  blow-pipe  the  finest  threads,  which  are  put  into  a  loom  and  woven  into 
glass  fabric.  A  large  variety  of  articles  are  made  from  this  fabric,  such  as  dresses,  napkins, 
bonnets  and  most  beautiful  lamp  shades. 

The  visitor  will  greatly  admire  the  immense  crygtal  display  rooms,  where  can  be  seen  the 
highest  standard  of  American  Cut  Glassware;  entire  new  and  novel  articles,  which  glitter  and 
shine  like  diamonds, 

This  immense  building  can  comfortably  accommodate  5,000  people  at  one  time.  The  ventk 
lation  is  perfect,  making  it  agreeable  for  visitors.  No  one  should  fail  to  visit  this,  one  of  the 
most  interesting  and  instructive  exhibits  at  the  Fair.  This  building  is  located  in  the  Midway 
Plaisance,  adjoining  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad  on  the  west. 

THERE  IS  NO  CHARGg    FOR    ADMISSION  TO   THIS    BUILDING.

Six  Reasons 

Why  the  W.  &  S.  B.*  Chains  are  better 
than  others. 

1.  They  have  been  assayed  by  the  Ohio  Re- 
tail Jewelers'  Association  and  proved  to  con- 
tain more  gold  than  those  of  other  makes. 

2.  We  are  originators,  not  imitators,  hence 
our  exclusive  styles. 

3.  We  are  the  pioneer  manufacturers  of 
Rolled  Plate  Chains,  organized  in  1870,  our 
motto  always  being  to  EXCEL. 

4.  Our  trade  mark,  W.  &  S.  B.-fc  stamped  on 
the  swivel,  is  a  guarantee  to  the  purchaser 
that  the  chain  is  made  "  ON  HONOR." 

5.  Our  energies  are  devoted  exclusively  to 
Chains,  which  enables  us  to  produce  an  article 
superior  to  all  others. 

There's  only  one  World's  Fair,  and 
only  one  W.  &  S.  B.-fr  brand  of  Rolled  Plate 
Chains.    Take  no  other. 


Ask  your 
Jeweler  for  the 
W.&  S.B.*Chains, 
and  see  that  the  trade 
mark,   W.    &  S.    B.  *  is 
stamped  on  the    swivel.     We 
are    the     originators     of 
this  method,  all  state- 
ments  to   the  con- 
trary   notwith- 
standing.

We  manufacture  some  very  nice  things  in  Solid  Gold  Lockets,  and  also  some  goods  in 
solid  silver,  but  our  principal  lines  are  of  heavy  rolled  gold  plate,  made  to  wear  for  years,  and 
the  quality  is  backed  by  twenty  years'  experience  in  making  this  class  of  goods. 

Our  Trade  Mark,  a  Flag  with  F.  &  B.  in  the  center,  or  simply  the  letters  F.  &  B.,  is  on

DEPARTMENT  L— LIBERAL  ARTS. 


THE  mass  of  visitors  to  the  Fair  come  by  rail  and  alight  at  the  central  point 
of  the  grounds  in  front  of  the  Administration  Building  Thence  mov- 
ing toward  the  lake,  they  pass  along  the  broad  esplanade,  having  on  their  right, 
first,  Machinery  Hall,  then  the  Hall  of  Agriculture;  on  their  left,  the  Hall  of 
Mines,  the  Hall  of  Electricity;  then  they  come  to  the  splendid  facade  of  the 
Main  Building,  nearly  800  feet  in  length,  upon  which  appears  the  inscription 
"To  the  Liberal  Arts." 

In  this  department  are  found  exhibits  pertaining  to  education,  hygiene, 
sanitation,  charities,  medicine  and  surgery,  literature,  books,  libraries,  journal- 
ism, physical  science,  engineering,  architecture,  government  and  law, 
commerce,  social  and  religious  organizations,  music  and  the  drama.  As  the  cen- 
tral idea  of  the  Exposition  is  to  educate  by  making  all  displays  exponents  of 
the  world's  advancement,  no  department  affords  greater  interest  to  the  visitor 
than  that  of  the  Liberal  Arts.  The  department  occupies  nearly  the  whole  of  the 
second  or  gallery  floor  of  the  grand  building  fronting  the  lake  called  the  building 
for    Manufactures  and  Liberal  Arts.

and  in  the  grand- 
structures.       Here 


Education  is  surrounded  by  her  hand-maids — Music,  Science,  Literature,  Char- 
ity, Religion — and  these,  grouped  together,  as  by  their  nature  is  most  fit- 
ting form  the  constellation  of  the  Liberal  Arts.  These  are  the  arts  whose 
advancement  has  made  the  closing  century  glorious,  and  has  made  all  man- 
kind free  in  the  light  of  tnlth  and  law  and  liberty.  Very  earnest  expressions 
of  demand  for  a  separate  building  for  Liberal  Arts,  or  for  education  alone,  were 
presented  from  all  sections  of  the  country  before  the  opening  of  the  Exposition, 
but  a  careful  consideration  of  all  the  conditions  has  led  those  directly  con- 
nected with  the  department  to  the  belief  that  the  present  solution  of  the  question 
is  satisfactory,  as  the  amount  of  space  provided  is  fairly  adequate,  as  compared 
to  that  given  to  other  departments;  its  position  is  central,  convenient,  dignified 
and  worthy,  and  its  location,  in  one  entire  end  of  the  great  Manufactures JBuild- 
ing,  is  much  to  be  preferred  above  any  which  would  have  placed  the  department

366  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

away  from  immediate  association  with  the  remainder  of  the  Exposition — 2 
contingency  that  most  likely  would  have  arisen  if  a  separate  and  distinct  build- 
ing had  been  provided.  This  question  was  carefully  considered  by  the  Board  of 
Control  and  an  appropriation  for  an  Educational  Building  was  made  in  response 
to  urgent  requests  from  many  educators  throughout  the  land.  An  eligible  site 
for  such  a  building  was  carefully  sought  for  but  could  not  be  found,  and  the  pur- 
pose to  erect  a  separate  structure  was  abandoned,  not  from  any  lack  of  apprecia- 
tion of  the  department  of  the  Liberal  Arts,  or  from  want  of  interest  in  its  work, 
but  wholly  as  a  matter  of  expediency. 

The  department  includes  twelve  distinct  and  separate  groups.  The  exhibits 
of  the  first  group  are  divided  between  two  bureaus,  that  of  Hygeme  and  Sanita- 
tion,and  that  of  Charities  and  Correction,  and  are  installed  in  the  Anthropolog- 
ical Building.  The  subjects  cared  for  by  the  Bureau  of  Hygeine  are  the  nursery 
and  its  accessories;  athletic  training  and  exercise;  gymnasiums;  food  supply 
and  its  distribution;  representations  of  dwellings' and  buildings  characterized  by 
the  conditions  best  adapted  to  health  and  comfort;  sanitary  appliances  and  meth- 
ods for  dwelling  houses,  buildings  and  cities;  hygiene  of  the  workshop  and  factory, 
modified  from  that  of  the  London  Health  Exhibition;  sanitary  supervision,  in- 
cluding quarantine  and  the  isolation  of  contagious  diseases.  The  Bureau  of 
Charities  and  Correction  presents  matters  pertaining  to  the  sick  and  the  needy; 
asylums,  homes,  hospitals,  dispensaries;  appliances  for  the  transportation  and 
relief  of  the  sick  and  wounded.  Prison  management  and  discipline;  models  and 
specimens  of  police  stations,  houses  of  correction,  reform  schools,  dress  and 
equipment  of  prisoners,  samples  of  convict  workmanship;  the  Bertillon  system 
of  personal  measurements,  etc. 

In  the  second  group  come  instruments  and  apparatus  of  medicine,  surgery 
and  prosthesis,  including  drugs  and  medicines,  dietetic  preparations  intended 
for  the  sick,  instruments  for  physical  diagnosis,  surgical  instruments,  artifical 
limbs  and  dental  apparatus.  This  group  is  arranged  in  the  north  end  of  the 
gallery  floor.  Primary,  secondary  and  superior  educational  statistics,  apparatus 
and  appliances  are  exhibited  in  a  group,  wherein  are  shown  infant  schools  and

such  as  law,  theology,  pharmacy,  mining,  military,  commercial,  etc.  Distinct 
exhibits  are  presented  by  thirty  States  and  Territories;  about  forty  colleges  and 
universities,  including  six  for  women,  and  seven  distinctively  for  the  colored  race, 
more  than  thirty  normal  schools;  a  series  of  manual  training  and  trade  schools; 
sixteen  art  schools;  collective  exhibits  from  thirty  business  colleges;  fifty 
schools  for  the  deaf;  schools  for  the  blind;  schools  for  those  of  feeble  mind, 
etc.  An  extended  exhibit  shows  the  work  of  the  schools  conducted  under 
the  control  of  the  Catholic  church.  Educational  exhibits  are  presented  by  the 
School  Board  of  London;  from  New  South  Wales,  and  Canada;  from  the 
Governments  of  France,  Russia,  Austria,  Mexico  anpl  Brazil;  a  very  complete  ex- 
hibit prepared  under  the  orders  of  the  Imperial  Minister  of  Education  of  Ger- 
many. The  exhibits  from  the  United  States  occupy  about  175,000  feet  on  the 
south  end  of  the  gallery  floor;  the  foreign  exhibits  occupy  nearly  50,000  feet 
beside. 

In  the  group  of  literature  and  books  are  found  exhibits  of  miscellaneous  and 
educational  publications;  the  great  magazines;  engraving,  lithographing;  maps

chime  of  bells  in  the  central  tower,  and  the  chime  in  on  one  of  the  towers  of 
Machinery  Hall. 

The  Bureau  of  Music  was  a  branch  of  the  Department  of  Liberal  Arts  com- 
mitted to  the  charge  of  three  officers,  viz.:  The  musical  director,  Mr.  Theodore 
Thomas,  the  choral  director,  Mr.  William  L.  Tomlins,  and  a  secretary,  Mr. 
George  H.  Wilson.  Mr.  Thomas  is  the  senior  in  authority  of  the  bureau,  and 
has  as  his  special  province  the  orchestral  features  of  the  music  for  the  Exposition, 
and  the  bands  which  are  provided  for  concerts  in  the  halls  and  in  the  open 
air  upon  the  grounds.  The  choral  features  of  the  music  are  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Tomlins,  who  has  organized  the  assemblages  of  choruses  from  various 
cities  of  the  Union  for  the  choral  festivals  in  the  Music  Hall  and  Festival  Hall 
of  the  Exposition.  The  secretary  of  the  bureau,  Mr.  Wilson,  has  charge  of  the 
business  matters  connected  therewith,  the  preparation  of  contracts,  the  making 
of  dates  for  the  various  concerts  and  festivals,  the  promulgation  of  information 
relative  thereto  and  of  the  programmes. 

The  Committee  on  Liberal  Arts  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  through  its  chair- 
man, Mr.  James  W.  Ellsworth,  supervises  the  work  of  this  bureau,  and  the  expen- 
diture of  the  large  sums  of  money  which  the  board  has  appropriated  for  the 
purpose  of  rendering  the  music  of  the  Exposition  equal  to  the  representation  of 
the  other  arts  upon  the  grounds.

the  68th  Street  Pumping  Station,  adjoining  the  World's  Fair  Grounds,  two  of  which  were  purchased 
expressly  to  supply  the  World's  Fair  Grounds  and  buildings  with  wholesome  lake  water  for  all

constructed  and  sold  within  the  past  ten  years,  ranging  in  capacity  from  one  to  twenty  million 
gallons  per  day,  and  they  are  in  use  in  the  principal  cities  of  the  United  States.  Eight  (8)  of 
12,000,000  gallons  capacity  each  are  now  in  service  in  the  city  of  Chicago 

These  engines  are  capable  of  developing  the  highest  duty  ever  obtained  by  any  pumping 
engine. 

Engineers,  mechanics,  and  others  interested,  are  invited  to  visit  the  /city  pumping  station, 
adjoining  the  World's  Fair  Grounds  (at  the  foot  of  68th  street),  to  see  those  pumping  engines  in

That  the  demand  for  the  .Official  Directory  of  the 
World's  Columbian  Exposition  has  been  unprece- 
dented in  the  history  of  the  subscription  book 
business.     Many  thousands  of  orders  were  taken 
by  agents  in  all  parts  of  the  country  long  before 
the  work  was  issued  from  the  press.    The  public 
recognized  in  it  something  that  would  prove  very 
valuable  to  them  in  their  endeavor  to  comprehend 
the    magnitude    and    splendor   of    the    greatest 
Exposition  the  world  has  ever  known ;  and  con- 
sidering the  very  low  price  at  which  it  was  sold, 
agents  found  no   difficulty  in   securing  orders- 
Representations  made  by  them  as  to  what  the 
book  would  be  have  been  more  than.verified,  and 
now  that  the  complete  book  may  be  shown  to 
prospective  subscribers,  giving  them  an  exact  idea 
of  its  worth,  many  will  avail  themselves  of  an 
opportunity  to  obtain  a  copy  who  may  have    ' 
hesitated    heretofore.      The   official    publishers 
desire  agents  in  every  section  of  the  country,  and 
will  be  pleased  to  quote  terms  and  particulars  on 
application.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION. 


441 


DEPARTMENT   F— MACHINERY. 

AMONG  the  triumphs  recorded  at  the  Exposition  is  that  of  labor-saving 
machinery.  The  closing  decade  of  the  century  will  be  remembered  in 
history  as  the  age  of  machinery,  and  the  exhibit  of  this  department  is  of  neces- 
sity most  important  and  interesting,  It  is  perhaps  the  most  conspicuous  and 
observed  of  all  the  departments  of  the  great  Exposition,  for  a  fitting  close  of  the 
ceremonies  on  the  opening  day  was  the  starting  of  the  machinery  in  operation  by 
the  President  of  the  United  States.  Henceforward  to  the  close  the  machinery 
will  be  to  the  Fair  what  the  lungs  are  to  the  human  body.  Peerless  in  the  ranks 
of  nations  which  have  given  to  mankind  the  fruits  of  invention  in  mechanical 
form  stands  the  United  States  of  America,  while  Europe  has  spared  no  pains  to 
prove  that  her  artificers  have  not  lost  their  skill,  and  that  in  the  great  competi- 
tion the  Old  World  is  still  abreast  of  the  new.  The  extent  of  the  space  under 
roof  in  the  building  devoted  to  the  display  of  machinery,  nearly  eighteen  acres, 
is  a  proof  of  the  appreciation  of  the  importance  of  this  branch  of  the  Exposition.

hall;  both  on  the  first  floor, 
and  on  the  second  floor  on  the  north  and  east  fronts,  forming  a  great  gallery. 

There  are  two  main  entrances  to  Machinery  Hall:  One  on  the  north,  facing 
Administration  Building,  and  one  on  the  east,  facing  Agricultural  Hall.  In  each 
of  the  four  corners  of  the  building  is  a  domed  pavilion  containing  a  grand  stair- 
case, and  there  are  other  staircases  adjacent  to  the  two  grand  staircases  referred 
to.  There  are  other  entrances  along  the  sides  and  ends  of  the  main  hall  and 
annex,  giving  ample  accommodation  for  the  immense  crowds. 

The  Annex  Building  contains  three  naves  and  runs  550  feet  to  the  westward, 
carrying  out  the  long  naves  formed  by  the  trusses  in  the  main  building. 

On  the  south  of  the  main  building  for  its  whole  length  is  a  one-story  struct- 
ure, which  contains  the  vast  steam  and  electrical  plant  which  supplies  power  and 
light  to  the  whole  of  the  Exposition  buildings  and  grounds. 


442  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

The  whole  of  Machinery  Hall,  throughout,  rests  upon  planking  and  trestle- 
work  foundations.  Its  frame  is  very  largely  of  wood,  but  the  main  trusses  span- 
ning the  building  are  of  iron,  and  are  of  such  width  that  they  will  be  serviceable 
in  the  future  in  the  construction  of  railroad  train-houses.  The  main  building 
and  annex  added  together  will  give  a  perspective  of  nearly  1,400  feet  in  a  straight 
line.  In  each  of  the  naves  an  electric-traveling  crane  moves  from  one  end  to  the 
other.  These  are  used  for  installing  and  moving  the  machinery  exhibits.  Plat- 
forms have  been  built  on  these  traveling  cranes,  and  they  are  used  to  carry 
visitors. 

The  exterior  of  the  building  is  covered  with  staff,  which  is  used  for  the  cov- 
ering of  all  the  other  buildings  at  the  Exposition.  In  the  figure  and  ornamental 
work  every  attempt  has  been  made  to  indicate  the  purpose  of  the  building,  the 
statues  representing  mechanical  forces,  or  carrying  portraits,  or  the  names  of 
inventors. 

Running  the  entire  length  of  the  main  building  and  the  annexes  are  three 
avenues  or  aisles,  the  center  one  twenty-five  feet  wide  and  the  sides  each  fifteen 
feet  in  width.  At  the  western  extremity  of  these  aisles  enter  the  tracks  of  the 
auxiliary  railroads  for  the  conveyance  of  heavy  machines  to  the  first  cross-aisle, 
from  which  the  traveling  cranes  carry  them. 

The  comprehensive  character  of  the  display  to  be  seen  in  this  branch  of  the 
Exposition  is  apparent  from  the  classification.  Eleven  groups,  comprising  eighty-, 
six  classes,  are  devoted  in  the  general  classification  to  the  department  of 
machinery.  Among  these  eighty-six  classes  are  found  almost  every  known 
mechanical  device. 

Holbrook  Fitz-John  Porter  is  assistant  chief  of  the  Machinery  department, 
and  shares  with  the  chief  the  responsibilities  of  his  position  and  represents  him 
in  his  absence.  Mr.  Porter  has  been  connected  with  the  Exposition  almost  from 
the  start.  He  was  first  assistant  rnechanical  engineer  in  the  Construction 
department  during  the  time  when  the  principal  problems  of  a  mechanical  nature 
were  being  solved,  and  was  transferred  to  the  Machinery  department  when  that 
department  assumed  shape.  Mr.  Porter  is  the  son  of  Gen.  Fitz-John  Porter,  and 
was  born  in  New  York  City  in  1858.  Mr.  Porter  is  a  member  of  the  American 
Society  of  Mechanical  Engineers  and  of  local  engineering  societies,  and  is  the 
author  of  many  engineering  articles  written  for  these  societies  and  technical 
journals. 

Departmental  regulations  provide  that: 

Exhibitors  must  be  manufacturers  or  producers  of  machinery,  and  not  dealers  only. 

No  machinery  on  exhibition  can  be  allowed  to  run  longer  than  is  necessary  for  that  pur- 
pose, except  by  special  permission  of  the  chief  of  the  department. 

Steam  pressure  supplied  is  125  pounds  per  square  inch  above  the  atmosphere.  Exhibitors 
requiring  a  lower  pressure  obtain  it  by  using  a  reducing  valve. 

The  line  shafting  makes  250  and  300  revolutions  per  minute,  and  is  placed  fourteen  feet 
nine  inches  from  the  center  of  shaft  to  floor  of  building. 

Driving  pulleys  on  main  line  of  shafting  are  supplied  by  exhibitors,  and  are  in  halves  and 
limited  to  thirty-six  inches  in  diameter,  and  are  secured  in  a  manner  that  will  not  weaken  the 
shaft. 

The  main  lines  of  steam,  water  and  sewer  pipe  are  provided,  but  all  connecting  pipes, 
valves,  etc.,  are  supplied  by  the  exhibitor. 

The  water  pressure  is  that  due  to  a  head  of  200  feet,  or  a  pressure  of  about  86  pounds  per 
square  inch. 

The  Chief  of  the  Department  has  the  care  and  supervision  of  the  main  shaft,  but  all 
gear  supplied  by  exhibitors  is  under  their  care,  who  also  select  persons  to  attend  to  their 
machinery,  and   who  alone  are  allowed  to  operate  it. 

Exhibitors  furnishing  machinery,  such  as  engines,  boilers,  etc.,  for  the  use  of  the  Expo- 
sition, may  select  their  own  men  to  operate  them,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Chief  of 
Construction. 

Fire  engines  entered  for  exhibition,  offered  and  accepted  for  use,  are  properly  cared  for 
and  furnished  with  fuel  free  of  expense. 

All  platforms,  counters,  ornamental  partitions,  show  cases  and  appurtenances  of  approved 
design,  have  been  erected  at  the  expense  of  the  exhibitor,  and  have  not  exceeded  the  following 
dimensions,  without  special  permission  of  the  Chief  of  Department- 
Show  cases  15  feet  above  the  floor. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  '  443 

Counters,  2  feet  10  inches  above  the  floor  on  the  side  next  to  passage-way. 

Platforms,  1  foot  above  the  floor. 

Partitions  of  various  heights,  not  exceeding  15  feet,  of  approved  design,  may  be  erected  in 
certain  parts  of  the  building. 

All  exhibits  of  machinery  in  motion  must  be  inclosed  by  a  railing  of  uniform  height  of  2 
feet  6  inches,  the  railing  to  come  within  the  space. 

No  fire  is  allowed  in  Machinery  Hall  except  by  special  permission  of  Chief  of 
Department.  Not  more  than  a  day's  supply  of  oils  and  other  inflammable  material  is  per- 
mitted in  the  building,  but  a  suitable  place  is  provided  for  the  storage  of  the  same. 

Permits  are  issued  by  the  Chief  of  Department  to  bring  in  raw  material  required  for 
the  successful  operation  of  certain  exhibits,  and  such  articles  as  may  be  required  by  concessions 
and  privileges  before  fifteen  minutes  of  the  opening  of  the  Exposition  in  the  morning.  Also  for 
the  removal  of  such  articles  and  products  as  come  within  the  regulations. 

The  location  of  exhibits  in  Machinery  Hall  is  indicated  by  the  rows  of  columns  and  the 
number  of  the  nearest  column  in  a  row.  The  rows  are  lettered  A,  B,  C,  D,  etc.,  from  the  south 
side,  and  the  columns  numbered  1,  2,  3,  etc.,  from  the  east  end. 

All  exhibits  of  machinery  in  motion  must  be  protected  by  ornamental  railings  of  a  uniform 
height  of  two  feet  six  inches. 

No  fire  will  be  allowed  in  the  Electrical  Building  except  by  the  written  permission  of  the 
Chief  of  the  Department;  oils  and  inflammable  material  will  be  allowed  only  in  quantities  sufficient 
for  one  day's  use;  suitable  storage  will  be  provided  for  the  same. 

Exhibitors  may  employ  watchmen  to  take  care  of  their  machinery  and  exhibits  at  night, 
but  such  watchmen  will  be  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Chief  of  the  Department. 

The  distribution  of  cards,  circulars,  pamphlets  or  samples  about  the  building  or  its  vicinity, 
will  not  be  permitted  under  any  circumstances.  Exhibitors  can  distribute  such  articles  only  from 
their  own  space,  but  will  not  be  allowed  to  solicit  their  acceptance. 

Exhibitors  are  required  to  attach  to  each  exhibit  a  printed  or  type-written  description 
in  the  English  language,  of  the  use  and  operation  of  the  object  exhibited  for  the  information  of 
the  public.

STAR  MILL. 

This  Mill  is  manufactured  in  sizes  from  10  to  26  ft.  in  diameter  and  is  especially  adapted 
for  pumping  purposes.  The  simplicity  of  its  construction  recommends  it  as  possessing  more 
points  of  merit  than  can  be  found  in  any  other  make.  Note  this  fact:  The  Star  Mill  is  univer- 
sally conceded  to  be  the  acme  of  perfection  as  regards  mechanical  construction,  durability  and 
power,  which  demonstrates  clearly  its  leadership  in  the  van  of  the  Windmill  trade. 

STEEL   STAR   WINDfllLLS   GALVANIZED   and   STEEL 
TOWERS   GALVANIZED. 

The  Steel  Star  Windmill  has  been  thoroughly  demonstrated  a  success,  being  simple  and 
symmetrical  in  its  construction.  We  furnish  these  Mills  either  painted  or  galvanized,  the  latter 
being  superior,  as  this  process  of  finishing  protects  them  from  air  and  moisture,  which  practically 
makes  them  indestructible. 

The  Steel  Towers  we  furnish  galvanized,  and  are  of  a  heavier  quality  than  that  used  by 
any  other  company. 

IRON  FORCE  AND  LIFT  PUflPS,  PAINTED  OR  GALVANIZED. 

We  are  the  only  manufacturers  of  Pumps  in  America  to-day  who  can  furnish  a  full  line  of 
these  goods  galvanized,  and  it  is  not  necessary  to  eulogize  this  method 
of  finishing  as  it  is   apparent. 

CYLINDERS. 

We  also  make  a  full  line  of  Pump  Cylinders  varying  in  size  from  2 
to  6  inches  in  diameter,  and  from  10  to  20  inches  long,  of  iron,  brass  lined 
iron,  brass  body  and  all  brass.  Having  double  packed  plungers  they  are 
superior  to  any  other  line  of  cylinders  on  the  market. 

HOOSIER   WELL   riACHINERY   and   TUBULAR 

WELL   TOOLS. 

There  is  no  Well  Machine  and  Tubular  Well  Tools  combined  that 
contain  so  many  points  of  excellence  as  the  "Hoosier,"  and  are  designed 
for  making  wells  averaging  in  depth  from  1  to  600  ft. 

We  also  carry  a  full  line  of  Pipe,  Casing,  Brass

Most  important  E,NfflNFFRlNfl  WORKS  in  Germany 


For  SEMI-PORTABLE  and  PORTABLE  ENGINES. 


EARLY  4,000  Semi-Portable  and  Portable  Engines  with  boilers  whose  tubular 
system  can  be  withdrawn  have  been  produced  in  WOLF'S  ENGINEERING 
WORKS.  The  production  in  1890-91  amounted  to  748  engines  of  15,547  horse- 
power. They  are  highly  appreciated  in  all  parts  of  the  world,  and  even  the  oldest  of 
them,  made  more  than  thirty  years  ago,  are  still  doing  their  duty.  Authentic  proof  can 
be  given,  that  20,  30,  40  and  more  repeat-orders  were  entrusted  to  R.  Wolf  by  quite  a 
number  of  authorities  and  large  firms.  Their  exceptional  working  capacity  and  their 
unexcelled  economy  in  the  consumption  of  fuel  have  been  certified  by  hundreds  of  tes- 
timonials from  experts  and  scientific  authorities. 

These  engines  must  not  be  confounded  with  the  ordinary  light  built,  cheap  products 
of  other  works.  The  construction  of  Wolf's  engines  differs  from  them  in  many  essential 
points,  and  their  workmanship  is  of  such  high  class  description,  that  they  excel  even- 
first-class  stationary  engines  with  regard  to  the  amount  of  fuel  consumed  per  horse-power, 
They  have  the  additional  advantages  of  requiring  much  less  room,  being  quicker  erected 
and  easier  tended.  They  are  therefore  the  most  rational  motors  for  all  kinds  of  industrial 
and  agricultural  installations,  and  may  be  found  driving  Brick  Works,  Breweries,  Boring 
Installations,  Cement  Works,  Distilleries,  Engineering  Works,  Electric  Illumination  Plants, 
Foundries,  Flour  Mills,  Gun  Factories,  Hauling  Gear,  Mortar  Works,  Ore  Crushers, 
Printing  Works,  Pumping  Works,  Saw  Mills,  Stone  Breakers,  Spinning  Mills,  Steam  Dairies, 
Threshing  Machines,  Weaving  Mills,  Wire  Rope  Tramways,  etc.,  etc.

TIMELY  HINTS  TO  MANUFACTURERS. 


THE  evils  attending  the  presence  of  Incrustation  and  Corrosion  in  the  Steam- 
Boiler  are  well  known  by  all  practical  engineers.  That  these  maladies 
greatly  diminish  the  life  and  utility  of  the  boiler,  and  greatly  augment  its  cost  of 
operation,  is  conceded  by  all  competent  observers.  We  venture  the  assertion 
that  no  subject  connected  with  steam  engineering  has  offered  a  more  extensive 
field  for  the  development  of  inventive  genius,  than  the  protection  of  the  boiler 
from  the  accumulation  of  scale  and  the  corrosive  influence  of  feed-waters.  All 
who  have  prosecuted  this  subject  with  studious  application,  research  and  experi- 
mental labor,  unanimously  agree  that  immunity  from  these  agencies  can  only  be 
acquired  by  the  adoption  and  use  of  chemical  means;  innumerable  tests  of 
mechanical  contrivances  "  under  the  most  favorable  conditions,"  demonstrating 
that  their  efficacy  at  best  but  compared  them  favorably  with  the  surface  blow-off. 
The  demand  for  an  effectual  preventive  of  Incrustation  and  Corrosion  is  so 
general  that  the  market  is  flooded  with  numberless  nostrums,  each  advertising 
their  articles  "superior"  in  the  superlative  degree,  and  further,  to  be  the  latest 
"  Innovation  and  Discovery  in  Chemistry."  An  analysis  of  these  preparations 
determines  their  composition  to  be  generally  admixtures  of  caustic  alkalies  or 
acids,  each  predominating,  according  to  the  ideas  of  the  manufacturer.  This 
class  of  "  Specifics  "  finds  a  ready  sale  among  the,  careless  fraternity  of  engineersf 
whose  plants  offer  every  evidence  of  a  general  lack  of  attention  and  care. 
Among  the  more  cautious  and  enterprising  engineers,  these  nostrums  are  seldom 
used,  as  periodical  examinations  of  the  internal  surfaces  of  the  boiler  soon  reveal 
the  objectional  feature  of  these  articles  and  lead  to  their  abandonment.  Among 
the  very  few  good  articles  widely  known  and  extensively  used  among7 
engineers,  we  believe  "  LORD'S  BOILER  COIIPOUND  "  is  the  most  conspicuous, 

This  chemical  compound  is  manufactured  by  Mr.  G.  W.  Lord,  316  Union  St., 
Philadelphia,  Pa.,  and  is  generally  used  among  the  engineers  of  this  Association; 
this  fact  best  bespeaks  our  appreciation  of  its  merit.  During  an  interval  of  thirty 
years,  Lord's  Compound  has  received  favorable  recognition  and  mention  in  our 
best  Treatises  on  Mechanics,  its  use  and  merit  being  attested  by  some  thirty 
eminent  and  popular  authors,  among  them  the  following:  "  The  Steam  Engine 
and  Indicator,"  by  W.  Barnet  Le  Van  of  the  Franklin  Institute;  "The  American 
Engineer,"  Edwards;  "  The  English  and  American  Mechanic,"  Van  Cleve;  "The 
Engineer's  Handy  Book,"  Roper;  "The  Use  and  Abuse  of  the  Steam  Boiler,'r 
Roper;  "Twenty  Years  with  the  Indicator,"  Pray,  and  numerous  others.  All 
these  are  authors  of  reputation. 

As  a  guarantee  that  the  foregoing  statement  is  correct,  we  understand  that 
the  manufacturer  will,  upon  request,  accompanied  by  an  order  for  the  Compound, 
mail  any  one  of  these  books,  costing  from  $1.00  to  $10  00,  and  also  a  valuable 
pamphlet,  free  of  charge.     This  is  an  unbounded  test  of  merit. 

Lord's  Compound  is  in  exclusive  use  by  the  United  States  Government,  and 
we  believe  is  the  only  "  American  Preventive  "  used  by  Foreign  Governments 
and  Navies.  That  it  enjoys  a  larger  sale  than  any  competitive  article  in  use 
throughout  this  continent,  we  feel  sure  all  engineers  will  willingly  admit.  Mr, 
Lord  compounds  all  his  preparations  with  a  view  to  special  adaptation  to  the 
individual  case,  after  having  made  an  analysis  of  the  water  submitted.  His  long 
experience  with  chemical  re-agents  and  the  treatment  of  waters  should,  we  think, 
prove  productive  of  the  most  satisfactory  skill  and  sanguine  expectation;  and  we 
heartily  recommend  his  Compound  to  our  fellow  engineers.  We  would  say  that 
the  words  LORD'S  BOILER  COHPOUND  are  but  the  trade-mark  identifying  Mr. 
Lord's  Compound,  and  do  not  signify  his  manufacture  or  recommendation  of  any 
individual  chemical  preparation.  We  ask  our  friends  to  correspond  with  him 
relative  to  his  compounds,  and  we  feel  confident  that  his  terms  of  sale  are  so 
satisfactory  as  to  warrant  your  granting  what  we  consider  "  The  Best  on  Earth  " 
a  trial. — From  "  Steam  Manual"  official  publication  of  the  National  Association  of 
Stationary  Engineers  of  U.  S.  A,

DEPARTMENT  A.— AGRICULTURE. 

"CTATE  boards  of  agriculture  and  important  organizations  of  farmers  have  ac- 
wcorded  earnest  support  to  this  department  in  the  matter  of  securing  satisfactory 
exhibits  of  the  products  of  agriculture  comprised  in  the  classification  of  the 
department;  and  according  to  the  statement  of  Chiet  Buchanan,  the  exhibit  of 
■cereals,  of  animal  and  vegetable  fibers,  wool,  cotton,  hemp,  flax,  etc.,  is  complete 
and  exhaustive.  Methods  of  irrigation  and  farm  management  are  illustrated  by 
models,  etc.  The  exhibit  of  farm  implements  is  the  most  complete  ever  seen  at 
any  Exposition.  A  typical  United  States  agricultural  experiment  station  is  lo- 
cated in  the  Agricultural  Building.  Near  by  this  experiment  station  is  an 
exhibit  by  the  French  government  illustrating  the  methods  of  teaching  agriculture 
employed  in  that  country.  The  purpose  of  the  department  is  to  convey  to  the 
visitor  and  student  a  picture  of  the  abundance,  variety,  development  and  possi- 
bility of  the  agricultural  resources  of  the  world. 

The  Agricultural  Building  is  one  of  the  most  magnificent  structures  of  the 
Exposition.

which  forms  the  center  of  the  colonnade  and  is  reached  from  the  second  floor 
of  the  Agricultural  Building  also.  It  will  seat  about  700  persons  and  furnishes 
facilities  for  lectures,  delivered  by  gentlemen  eminent  in  their  special  fields  of 
work,  embracing  every  interest  connected  with  live  stock,  agriculture  and  allied 
industries.

THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 


The  Dairy  Building,  by  reason  of  the  exceptionally  novel  and  interesting 
exhibits  it  will  contain,  is  regarded  with  great  favor  by  World's  Fair  visitors 
in  general,  while  by  agriculturists  it  is  considered  one  of  the  most  useful 
and  attractive  features  of  the  whole  Exposition.  It  was  designed  to  contain 
not  only  a  complete  exhibit  of  dairy  products,  but  also  a  Dairy  School, 
in  connection  with  which  will  be  conducted  a  series  of  tests  for  determining  the 
relative  merits  of  different  breeds  of  dairy  cattle  as  milk,  butter  and  cheese  pro- 
ducers. 

The  building  stands  near  the  lake  shore  in  the  southeastern  part  of  the  park, 
and  close  by  the  general  live  stock  exhibit.  It  covers  approximately  half  an 
acre,  measuring  95x200  feet,  is  two  stories  high  and  cost  $30,000.  In  design  it  is 
of  quiet  exterior.  On  the  first  floor,  besides  office  headquarters,  there  is  in  front 
a  large  open  space  devoted  to  exhibits  of  butter,  and  farther  back  an  operating 
room  25x100  feet,  in  which  the  Model  Dairy  will  be  conducted.  On  two  sides  of 
this  room  are  amphitheatre  seats  capable  of  accommodating  400  spectators.  Under 
these  seats  are  refrigerators  and  cold  storage  rooms  for  the  care  of  the  dairy 
products.  The  operating-room,  which  extends  to  the  roof,  has  on  three  sides  a 
gallery  where  the  cheese  exhibits  will  be  placed.  The  rest  of  the  second  story 
is  devoted  to  a  cafe,  which  opens  on  a  balcony  overlooking  the  lake. 

The  Dairy  School,  it  is  believed,  will  be  most  instructive  and  valuable  to 
agriculturists. 

The  following  are  extracts  from  the  special  rules  and  information  issued  by 
W.  1  Buchanan,  Chief,  and  approved  by  the  Director-General: 

Vegetables  and  other  perishable  products  will  be  admitted  during  their  season,  and  may 
he  replaced  with  fresh  specimens  when  found  necessary  by  obtaining  a  special  permit  from  the

KEY  TO  INSTALLATION. 


For  the  purpose  of  installation  of  exhibits  the  building  is  divided,  on 
the  first  floor,  into  five  sections,  "A"  being  in  the  northeast,  "B"  the  north- 
west, "C"  the  southeast,  "D"  the  southwest,  and  "E"  in  the  west  section. 
On  the  second  or  gallery  floor  are  "F"  in  the  northeast,  "G"  in  the  north- 
west, "H"  in  the  southeast,  and  "I"  in  the  southwest  section.  Beginning  at 
the  center  of  the  building  in  each  section,  each  column  is  lettered  from  A 
down  the  alphabet,  toward  the  outside  of  the  building.  Beginning  with 
the  outside,  and  going  toward  the  center  of  the  building,  the  columns  are 
numbered  from  1  up.  The  columns  in  each  section  are  lettered  and  num- 
bered separately;  that  is,  for  example,  in  each  section  column  "1-A"  can  be 
found.  The  location  of  an  exhibit  is  indicated  by  two  letters  and  a  figure. 
For  instance,  an  exhibit  located  in  "H-G-5,"  means  that  it  is  in  Section  H 
where  the  lines  of  the  Columns  G  and  5  cross.  By  consulting  the 
ground  plan  the  sections  can  be  readily  located,  as  the  columns  are  plainly 
lettered  and  numbered.  All  the  agricultural  machinery  is  in  Section  D. 
All  exhibits  of  butter  and  cheese  are  in  the  Dairy  Building,  the  butter  on 
the  first  floor,  and  the  cheese  on  the  second  floor.  Exhibits  of  honey  are 
on  the  gallery  floor,  in  the  east  end  of  Agricultural  Building.  The  ground 
plan  shows  the  location  by  name  of  each  of  the  States  and  foreign  coun- 
tries. ♦

The  Brewing  Industry  or  America 

By  the  PABST  BREWING  CO. 


O  one  viewing  the  brewing  industry  from 
the  standpoint  of  its  nineteenth  century 
development  and  beholding  the  per- 
spective of  the  picture  fading  into  an- 
tiquity, can  fail  to  discover  that  the 
evolution  of  this  mighty  factor  of  mod- 
ern enterprise  is  contemporaneous  with 
the  evolution  of  bread  itself.  The  first 
historical  mention  of  brewing  is  found 
in  the  papyri  of  the  Egyptians.  The 
presence  of  barley  in  the  tombs  of  the 
Pharaohs  would  seem  to  anticipate  for 
untold  ages  the  papyri  records,  and 
much  presumptive  evidence  of  the  greatest  antiquity  is  found  in  the  then  perfec- 
tion of  the  amber  beverage  for  which  we  moderns,  with  laughable  simplicity, 
are  worshipfully  thanking  Gambrinus. 

The  Egyptians  simply  crushed  the  barley  and  mixed  it  with  water  and  fer- 
mented the  combination  without  the  intervention  of  heat.  If  malting  was  known, 
we  have  no  record  of  it.  The  Assyrians  advanced  one  step  and  may  be  called 
the  first  brewers,  for  they  boiled  the  crushed  grain  and  then  proceeded  as  the 
Egyptians  were  doing. 


plant  of  the  Pabst  brewing  Co. 

No  one  knows  what  happy  accident  of  deluge  or  disaster  tempted  some 
shrewd  husbandman  of  centuries  agone  to  spread  his  wetted  grain  to  dry,  and  no 
one  knows  his  dire  dismay  when  little  sprouts,  fed  by  the  life  within,  seeking 
God's  sunlight,  came  inquiringly  into  the  world,  or  how  he  tried  to  stop  that 
growth  and  blunt  for  another  age  the  sharp  wedge  of  progress,  or  how,  in  desper- 
ation, he  tried  to  brew  with  what  he  thought  was  useless,  only  to  find  the  product 
better  and  that  the  world  had  discovered  malt.  Strength,  calmness,  power  of 
thought,  stately  forms  of  giant   men,    the   mighty   hosts   of  peace  and  war  have 

625 


since  been   sustained  and   built  up   by  the  jolly  quaffing  of    foaming  tankards. 
Imagination  pictures  the  almost  mythical  Arthur,  surrounded  by  his  Knights 
of  the  Round  Table,  ^^att 

drinking  the  barley 
brew  and  with  storied 
romance  creating 
that  legendary  lore 
which  Tennyson  im- 
mortalized. We  al- 
most wonder  if  this 
Welsh  hero  of  the 
Britons  1,300  years 
aback     could      have 

told  whence  came  the  beverage,  while  we,  seeing  from 
greater  distance  the  rounded  contour  of  its  history, 
find  it  was  brought  to  Britain  by  the  soldiers  of  Julius 
Caesar  500  years  before  brave  Arthur  reigned. 

Ariovistus,  a  bold  and  powerful  Suevic  chief,  was  the  first  Ger- 
man to  come  in  conflict  with  the  minions  of  Julius  Caesar.  When 
Caesar  sent  to  him  proposing  a  personal  interview,  he  haughtily 
answered  that  Caesar  had  better  come  to  Ariovistus,  which  Caesar 
quickly  did,  and  it  may  be  added  history  has  no  further  record  of 
Ariovistus.  But  Caesar  continued  his  conquests,  and  his  soldiers, 
who  had  learned  the  art  of  brewing  from  the  Egyptians,  gave  the 
secret  to  the  vanquished  Germans,  who  subsequently  became 
friendly  allies.  We  think  that  every  German  who  finds  the  gold 
beneath  the  snow  of  a  "Mass"  of  Hofbrau,  will,  with  a  passing  sigh 
of  regret  at  the  fate  of  Ariovistus,  proceed  to  drown  the  memory  of 
the  sad  event  and  be  glad  that  Caesar  came. 

The  Gauls  and  Franks  never  cultivated  to    a  great  extent  the 
brewer's  art,  preferring  the  product  of  the  vintage  and  Bacchus,  be- 
fore   Gambrinus,  and  the  strange  fact  becomes    apparent  to   the 
thoughtful  observer  that  the  more  volatile  races  of  all  Europe  prefer  the  spark- 
ling brilliancy  of  those  drinks  of  amusement  which  originate  in  the  clustering' 

grape,  while  the  steady  and 
more  powerful  races  with  confi- 
dence demand  that  richer  boon 
which  springs  from  the  waving" 
barley. 

Up  from  rich  Mother  Earth 
springs  a  graceful  vine,  its  deli- 
cate tendrils  clinging  for  sup- 
port and  its  soft  green  foliage 
suggesting  the  delight  of 
shadowed  coolness  beneath  the 
summer  sun.  Coy  it  grows,  yet 
climbs  to  greater  height  and 
in  its  sweet  development  sug- 
gests the  woman.  And  as  she 
rises,  she  decks  herself  with 
flowers  whose  petals,  opening" 
to  the  light,  throw  abroad  a 
peaceful  and  somnolent  per- 
fume. What  happy  blending  of  fate  and  affinity  brought  to  an  universal  wed- 
ding the  sturdy  barley  and  the  winsome  hop?  What  harmony  of  wedded  life 
could  be  more  perfect?  True,  she  brought  some  bitterness  into  the  life  of  the 
good-natured  fellow,  but  John  Barleycorn  has  gained  from  her  that  soothing 
quality  which  slacks  the  tension  of  the  weary  brain  and  makes  the  malt  beverage 
of  the  nineteenth  century  the  safety  valve  of  the  high  pressure  minds  which  are 
sacrificing  themselves  to  create  modern  civilization. 

R9fi 


The  history  of  brewing  in  America  commenced  on  June  22,  1789,  when  was 
passed,  together  with  the  famous  Blue  Laws  of  Massachusetts,  the  bill  exempt- 
ing the  manufacturers  of  malt  beverages  in  the  commonwealth  of  Massachusetts 
from  taxation  for  five  years,  in  order  to  encourage  the  business  But  it  is  better 
to  quote  their  reasons  for  passing  the  law: 

Whereas,  The  manufacture  of  strong  beer,  ale  and  other  malt  liquors  will  promote  the 
purposes  of  husbandry  and  commerce  by  encouraging  the  growth  of  such  materials  as  are  par- 
ticularly congenial  to  our  soil  and  climate  and  by  producing  a  valuable  article  of  exportation, 
and, 

Whereas,  the  wholesome  qualities  of  malt  liquors  greatly  recommend  them  to  general  use, 
as  an  important  means  of  preserving  the  health  of  the  citizens  of  this  commonwealth  and  of  pre- 
venting the  pernicious  effect  of  spirituous  liquors,  be  it  therefore  enacted,  etc.

Well,  we  have  quoted  enough.  The  old  statesmen  who  framed  our  consti- 
tution probably  knew  what  they  were  talking  about;  and  when  we  find  that  the 
total  product  of  the  brewing  industry  in  America  at  this  time  was  not  over  3,000 
barrels  in  a  year,  and  that  today  it  has  grown  to  an  annual  output  of  over  40,000,- 
000  barrels,  paying  into  the  United  States  Treasury  annually  $40,000,000  toward 
the  support  of  the  government,  being  one  of  the  largest  single  industries  of  the 
whole  country,  we  can  not  help  astonishment.  It  is  within  the  last  twenty-five 
years,  however,  and  chiefly  within  the  last  fifteen  that  the  American  people  as  a 
nation  have  turned  away  from  the  more  hot  and  rebellious  and  turned  to  the 
most  soothing  and  peaceful  of  modern  beverages.  It  has  been  a  natural  ten- 
dency, due  in  some  measure  to  the  energy  and  intelligence  of  the  brewers  them- 
selves, but  in  far  greater  measure  to  that  tremendous  activity  of  the  American 
mind  and  the  equally  occidental  tendency  to  overwork  it,  and  the  consequent 
demand  for  some  harmless  beverage  which  is  not  only  a  gentle  sedative,  but 
almost  a  food.     Malt  beverages  are  a  source  of  calmness,  while  wines  and  liquors 

627 


are  a  source  of  excitement;    both   have   their  uses,  but   calmness  is  what  is  most 
needed,  hence  the  rapidly  increasing  development  of  the  brewing  industry. 

To  the  Germans,  with  their  strong  love  of  home  and  fond  memories  of 
the  Fatherland,  and  their  national  fondness  for  that  lightest  of  malt  beverages, 
lager  beer,  are  we  indebted  tor  its  introduction  to  America.  Even  to-day  the 
business  is  largely  controlled  by  this  prosperous,  conscientious  and  thrifty 
people.  The  magnitude  which  has  been  attained  by  the  more  prominent  brew- 
ing enterprises  of  America  is  almost  astounding,  and  the  West  boasts  several  brew- 
eries whose  production  exceeds  500,000  gallons  annually.  There  is  no  mystery 
about  brewing  and  all  the  larger!companies  have  regular  guides  to  show  visitors  over 
the  plants  and  give  the  public  an  opportunity  to  observe  the  absolute  clean- 
liness and  the  sturdy  honesty  which  characterizes  the  various  processes.  The 
German  has  nothing  to  fear  from  the  most  critical  examination  of  his  business 
methods,  either  in  the  processes  or  the  material  used  in  producing  the  world's 
greatest  beverage. 

The  largest  single  representative  of  the  brewing  industry  is,  as  every  one 
knows,  the  Pabst  Brewing  Co.,  of  Milwaukee.  The  annual  output  of  this  com- 
pany is  1,198,000  barrels,  about  71  per  cent,  greater  than  that  of  its  nearest  rival. 
The  Pabst  Brewing  Co.  brews,  therefore,  1-33  part  of  the  entire  output  of  the 
United  States,  although  there  are  1,780  breweries.  The  kegs  and  packages  used 
by  the  Pabst  Brewing  Co.,  loaded  for  shipment,  would  make  a  train  116  miles 
long.  The  daily  shipments  average  75  car  loads  for  each  working  day.  About 
150,000  barrels  of  the  product  are  bottled,  making  40,000,000  bottles,  mostly 
quarts.  The  annual  cost  of  corks  is  $138,000.  The  buildings  alone  cover  ten 
acres,  and  thirty-four  acres  of  floor  space  are  in  constant  use.  The  exhibit 
which  they  make  at  the  Fair  is  marvelous  in  its  splendor — a  gold  model  of  the 
brewery,  made  from  architectural  drawing's,  an  absolute  and  exact  representation 
of  Milwaukee  buildings  only  and  including  only  those  which  are  in  constant 
actual  use.  If  the  forty  branch  houses,  the  ice  houses  (numbering  more  than  400), 
the  untold  corners,  business  blocks,  hotels,  theatres,  cooperage  shops,  the 
Spanish  cork  factory,  the  glass  bottle  manufactory,  the  southern  ice-plants, 
the  nearly  500  agencies,  owned  or  controlled  by  them  were  included,  the  model, 
on  the  scale  of  1-8  of  an  inch  to  the  foot,  would  cover  800  square  feet.  Over 
this  golden  model  is  a  terra  cotta  and  glass  palace,  which  is  symbolical  of  the 
brewing  industry  and  which  must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated. 

Visitors  to  the  World's  Fair  will  find  when  they  see  the  Brewers'  corner 
a  display  equal  to  any  class  of  exhibits.     The  refined  elegance  of  the  struc- 
tures which  they  have  built  for  the  display  of  their  wares,  reflects  the  greatest 
credit  upon  them,  showing  as  it  does  a  keen  intelligence  and  a  broad 
comprehension  of  nineteenth  century  business  requirements. 

It   is    now   becoming    generally 
admitted  that  many   of  the  gravest 
questions  of   the   temperance  prob- 
lem will  be  solved  by  the  increasing 
popularization    of    malt    beverages, 
which  slowly  but  surely  are 
superseding  more  spirituous 
drinks,  and  thereby 
paving  the 

way  to  that  _ 

truetemper- 
ance  which 
should  be 
the  highest 
ideal  of  the 
reformer

DEPARTMENT  J— ELECTRICITY. 

THE  wonderful  strides  made  in  the  field  of  electrical  appliances  during  the 
past  few  years  find  a  miniature  in  the  display  made  at  the  Exposition.  The 
prime  object  of  the  department  is  the  demonstration,  in  actual  operation,  of  the 
commercial  and  economic  applications  of  electricity,  and  exhaustive  tests  of 
electrical  apparatus  in  all  possible  directions,  with  a  view  to  establish  the  actual 
efficiency  of  the  same  in  comparison  with  other  and  older  methods  of  accom- 
plishment. In  addition  to  these  practical  features,  object  lessons  of  interest  and 
instruction,  showing  the  development  of  the  science  from  its  formative  or  initia- 
tory state  to  the  present  time,  are  presented.  The  accomplishment  of  this  object 
takes  the  form  of  an  historical  exhibit  embodying  models,  drawings  and  crude 
machinery  made  and  used  by  pioneers  in  the  science. 

Electric  Lighting. — The  buildings  and  grounds  of  the  Exposition  are 
lighted  by  electricity.  About  8,000  arc  lamps  of  2,000  candle  power,  and  about 
130,000  incandescent  lamps  of  sixteen-candle  power  are  required.  Besides  this, 
from  3,000  to  3,500  horse-power  is  required  for  the  operation  of  the  machinery 


of  exhibitors.  To 
mit  this  24,000 
Exposition  Com- 
structed  a  plant, 
complete  station 
posed  of  a  number 
p  1  ete  plants,  in- 
who  contract  to 
parts  of  the  ser 
plants  are  primar 
of  the  Exposition, 
that  reason  pro- 
coming  competi- 
well.  The  group 
by  electricity  is 
arc  systems,  their 
appliances;  and 
sy  st  em  s  ,  their 
and  appliances.

lamps,     fixtures 

For  electrical 
primary  and  secon- 
teries;  dynamos  of

ammeters,  watt- 
cables,  wires,  rhe- 
indicators;  safety 
ightning  arrestors,   fusible 


and  protective  appliances,  such  as  lightning  rods 

cutouts,  etc.,  are  appropriately  grouped.     Heating  by  electricity,  electrotypingr 

electro-plating,  gilding  and  nickeling  are  exhibited. 

Mining  and  Milling  Work. — Motors  and  other  electric  machinery  are  ex- 
hibited to  fully  illustrate  the  possibilities  of  the  science  in  the  direction  of  min- 
ing and  milling,  the  long-distance  transmission  of  power  for  mining  operationsf 
and  the  various  applications  of  the  power  at  the  point  of  usefulness.  Here  may 
be  seen  electro-deposition  of  iron  and  other  metals;  electrolytic  separation  of 
metals  from  their  ores  or  alloys,  electric  forging,  welding,  stamping,  tempering, 
brazing,  etc. 

Artistic  Effects. — Art  in  electricity  is  becoming  popular,  and  the  newest 
and  most  approved  fixtures  for  lighting,  as  well  as  the  many  systems  of  stage  and 
auditorium  lighting,  the  lighting  of  art  galleries,  etc.,  are  shown. 

Insulation  Work. — Wiring,  underground  and  overhead  systems  of  con- 


648  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

struction,  interior  insulation,  conduit   construction,  etc.,  are  greatly  benefited  by 
carefully  installed  exhibits,  showing  development  in  these  directions. 

Telegraph  and  Signals. — In  this  group  are  shown  the  various  systems  of 
transmitting  and  receiving,  chronographs,  annunciators,  thermostats,  fire  alarm 
apparatus,  police  telegraph  and  burglar  alarm  apparatus  and  railroad  signal  ap- 
paratus. 

The  Telephone. — The  receiving  and  transmitting  appliances  of  the  now 
generally  used  telephone,  together  with  the  switch  boards,  signals,  registers,  etc., 
are  shown  in  a  separate  group,  embracing  also  receiving  and  recording  appara- 
tus, such  as  the  phonograph. 

Miscellaneous. — In  other  groups  are  found  exhibits  of  electric  pens,  elec- 
tricity in  surgery,  dentistry  and  therapeutics;  apparatus  for  the  destruction  of 
life,  as  seen  in  New  York,  for  instance,  where  it  is  by  law  used  for  capital  pun- 
ishment; electricity  in  photography;  in  heating  apparatus  as  applied  to 
steam  and  hot  air  pipes  and  registers;  its  uses  as  a  remedial  agent  and  the  his- 
tory and  statistics  of  electrical  inventions,  showing  models  and  drawings  of  pat- 
ents in  Europe  and  America. 

The  Building. — The  Electrical  Building  is  345  feet  wide  and  700  feet  long, 
the  major  axis  running  north  and  south.  The  south  front  is  on  the  great  Quad- 
rangle or  Court;  the  north  front  faces  the  lagoon;  the  east  front  is  opposite  the 
Manufactures  Building,  and  the  west  faces  the  Mines  Building.  The  general 
scheme  of  the  plan  is  based  upon  a  longitudinal  nave  115  feet  wide  and  114  feet 
high,  crossed  in  the  middle  by  a  transept  of  the  same  width  and  height  The 
nave  and  the  transept  have  a  pitched  roof,  with  a  range  of  sky  lights  at  the 
bottom  of  the  pitch,  and  clearstory  windows  The  rest  of  the  building  is  covered 
with  a  flat  roof,  averaging  62  feet  in  height,  and  provided  with  skylights  The 
second  story  is  composed  of  a  series  of  galleries,  connected  across  the  nave  by 
two  bridges,  with  access  by  four  grand  staircases.  The  area  of  the  galleries  in 
the  second  story  is  118,546  square  feet,  or  27  acres.  The  exterior  walls  of  this 
building  are  composed  of  a  continuous  Corinthian  order  of  pilasters,  3  feet  6 
inches  wide  and  42  feet  high,  supporting  a  full  entablature,  and  resting  upon  a 
stylobate  8  feet  6  inches.  The  total  height  of  the  walls  from  the  grade  outside 
is  68  feet  6  inches.  At  each  of  the  four  corners  of  the  building  there  is  a  pavilion, 
above  which  rises  a  light  open  spire  or  tower  169  feet  high.  Intermediate 
between  these  corner  pavilions  and  the  central  pavilions  on  the  east  and  west 
sides,  there  is  a  subordinate  pavilion  bearing  a  low  square  dome  upon  an  open 
lantern.  The  building  has  an  open  portico  extending  along  the  whole  of  the 
south  facade,  the  lower  or  Ionic  order  forming  an  open  screen  in  front  of  it.  The 
various  subordinate  pavilions  are  treated  with  windows  and  balconies.  The 
details  of  the  exterior  orders  are  richly  decorated,  and  the  pediments,  friezes, 
panels  and  spandrils  have  received  a  decoration  of  figures  in  relief,  with  archi- 
tectural motifs,  the  general  tendency  of  which  is  to  illustrate  the  purposes  of  the 
building.  The  appearance  of  the  exterior  is  that  of  marble,  but  the  walls  of  the 
hemicycle  and  of  the  various  porticos  and  loggia  are  highly  enriched  with  color, 
the  pilasters  in  these  places  being  decorated  with  scagliola,  and  the  capitals  with 
metallic  effects  in  bronze. 

Following  are  from  the  rules  issued  by  Chief  Barrett: 

All  exhibits  of  electrical  apparatus  are  installed  in  the  Electrical  Building,  excepting  gen- 
erators, and  the  adjuncts  of  a  generating  plant,  which  are  shown  in  operation. 

Ample  facilities  are  furnished  in  the  Electrical  Building  for  moving  any  article  or  piece  of 
machinery  weighing  not  over  30,000  lbs.,  by  means  of  railroad  derricks. 

Xo  exhibitor  can  make  exhibits  in  other  than  his  own  space  without  obtaining  the  written 
permission  to  do  so  from  the  Chief  of  the  Department. 

Xo  exhibitor  will  be  allowed  to  arrange  his  exhibit  in  a  way  to  occasion  inconvenience  or 
affect  the  display  of  other  exhibitors. 

The  floor  of  the  Electrical  Building  is  designed  to  sustain  a  weight  of  150 pounds  per  square 
foot.  Any  exhibit  requiring  an  extra  support,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Chief  of.  the  Department, 
must  be  turnished  with  satisfactory  support  or  foundation  at  exhibitor's  expense. 

All  platforms,  railings,  counters,  signs,  partitions  and  showcases  must  be  erected  at  exhib- 
itor's expense  and  shall  not  exceed  dimensions  given  in  the  general  rules.

DEPARTMENT  E— MINES,  MINING  AND  METALLURGY. 

THE  building  over  the  portal  of  which  is  written  "Mining"  attracts  marked 
attention.  It  is  the  first  Exposition  building  that  has  been  distinctively 
devoted  to  this  industry.  Its  walls  contain  the  first  separate  and  comprehensive 
mineral  and  metallurgical  exhibit.  It  is  one  of  the  new  developments  and 
marvels  of  an  Exposition  that  furnishes  so  many  surprises  and  wonders.  The 
position  of  this  building  is  amidst  the  most  beautiful  of  natural  and  architectural 
surroundings.  It  faces  at  the  north  the  western  and  middle  inland  lakes  and  the 
flowers  and  lawns  of  the  wooded  island.  It  reflects  on  the  west  the  gilded  light 
of  the  Golden  Door  and  the  singularly  handsome  and  unique  high-color  finish 


of  the  Moorish 
transportation  ex- 
on  the  east  by  the 
of  Electricity.  At

and  embellished 
metrical  and  clas-

loggia  on  the  main 
recessed  promen- 
floor  occupy  the 
building.  It  is  in- 
center  by  an 
entrance  56  feet 
broad  and  at  the 
square  pavilions 
low  domes.  The 
heavily  coffered 
decorations      are 


massed  at  the  prominent  points  of  the  furnace.  Its  architecture,  of  early  Italian 
renaissance,  with  a  slight  touch  of  French  spirit,  together  with  the  enormous  and 
floating  banners,  invests  the  building  with  the  animation  that  should  char- 
acterize a  great  general  Exposition.  The  interior  design  is  of  no  less 
interest  than  the  exterior.  The  roof  rests  upon  ten  great  cantilever 
trusses  so  that  the  floor  is  practically  unencumbered,  there  being  only 
two  rows  of  iron  columns  on  either  side.  This  is  the  first  instance  of 
the  application  of  the  cantilever  system  to  building  and  the  result 
is  a  structure  signally  adapted  to  exhibition  purposes,  the  gain  in  space 
being  quite  large.  The  gallery  60  feet  wide  and  25  feet  above  the  main 
floor  extends  entirely  around  the  building  and  is  well  lighted  by  clearstory 
windows  above.  The  repeated,  series  of  large  arched  windows  along  the  walls 
and  the  extensive  glass  roof  covering  furnish  abundance  of  light.  The  cost  of 
the  building  was  $250,000.  It  was  commenced  in  July,  189 1,  and  was  the  first 
building  to  be  finished.  In  its  construction  were  employed  592,000  pounds  of 
iron,  282  carloads  of  lumber  and  three  carloads  of  nails,  while  the  glass  in  the 
skylight  covers  one  and  a  half  acres.  The  exhibits  seen  within  the  walls  of  this 
great  building  are  as  varied  as  they  are  attractive  and  interesting.     Here  are 


690  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

presented  all  the  precious  minerals  and  gems,  all  the  economic  mineral  and  ma- 
terials, all  the  metals  as  crude,  as  well  as  in  the  manufactured  state,  and  all  the 
machinery,  implements  and  appliances — in  fact  everything  pertaining  to  the 
arts  and  sciences  directly  or  indirectly  involved  in. the  mining  and  metallurgical 
industries.  Of  the  official  classification,  twenty-seven  groups  and  one  hundred 
and  twenty-seven  classes  (or  eighty-eight  more  than  at  the  Centennial)  are  re- 
quired to  cover  the  exhibits  that  are  shown  on  the  floor  of  this  building.  The 
exhibit  space  has  been  laid  off  in  regular  sections  so  that  the  visitor  can  readily 
understand  and  follow  out  the  installation.  The  wide  central  avenue  running 
the  length  of  the  building,  and  named  "  Bullion  Boulevard,"  divides  the  foreign 
exhibits  on  the  west  from  the  domestic  exhibits  to  the  east.  The  boulevard  is 
one  of  the  most  attractive  and  entertaining  promenades  on  the  grounds  an  J  fur- 
nishes a  scene  of  striking  beauty.  The  States  and  foreign  countries  have  here 
invested  a  large  portion  of  their  wealth  of  rare  and  representative  mineral  pro- 
ducts and  built  enclosing  pavilions  and  pagodas  of  symmetrical  design  and  grace- 
ful proportions.  The  leading  powers  of  Europe  are  on  the  west  side  of  this 
aisle — France,  Germany,  Great  Britain  and  her  colonies.  Mexico  and  Brazil 
have  large  areas  at  the  south  end,  as  well  as  Cape  Colony,  whose  exhibit  of 
diamond  washing,  sorting  and  polishing  is  here  a  center  of  attraction  as  it  was 
at  the  last  Paris  Exposition.  Beyond  these  countries,  Austria,  Spain,  Italy, 
Japan,  Russia,  and  the  South  and  Central  American  countries,  have  spread  out 
their  mineral  treasures.  Upon  the  east  side  of  this  boulevard  front  artistic 
facades  of  classic  columns,  capitals  and  pediments,  arched  entrances  and  col- 
onnades forming  the  structures  erected  by  the  States  of  this  country.  The  north 
section  is  occupied  with  abundant  exhibits  of  coal,  iron,  clays,  building  and 
ornamental  stones,  mined  in  the  vast  mineral  belts  of  the  Alleghanies  and  the 
Central  Basin.  In  the  south  section  predominate  quartzose  ores,  the  gold,  sil- 
ver and  precious  minerals,  produced  by  the  treasure  States  of  the  West.  Many 
features  of  unusual  interest  are  found  within  the  courts  of  these  States,  such  for 
instance  as  the  geological  obelisk  illustrating  the  geology  of  New  York,  the 
silver  statue  revealing  the  wonderful  richness  of  Montana,  the  quarter  of  a 
million  dollar  collection  of  gold  nuggets  from  Colorado,  the  precious  gems  of 
North  Carolina.  All  these,  as  well  as  other  mineral  products  to  be  found  within 
these  structures,  enable  the  visitor  to  gain  a  comprehensive  conception  of  the 
boundless  mineral  resources  of  the  United  States.  Including  some  three  or  four 
displays  in  the  gallery,  thirty-two  States  in  all  are  in  this  way  represented  on 
the  floor  of  the  Mining  Building.  Beneath  the  gallery  are  in  operation  machines 
of  every  description  used  in  and  out  of  mines—  all  of  the  methods  and  appli- 
ances for  sinking  shafting  and  driving  levels;  pumps  and  engines  for  driving  and 
hoisting;  trams  and  cars  for  loading  and  unloading;  huge  crushers  for  pulveriz- 
ing rock  of  adamant;  ingenius  apparatus  for  quarrying  stone  and  for  turning  and 
polishing  into  marketable  shapes;  roasting  and  chloridizing  furnaces;  apparatus 
for  refining  precious  metals,  etc.  A  complete  working  plant  in  miniature,  illus- 
trating the  methods  of  placer  and  hydraulic  mining  is  also  shown.  The  outside 
exhibit  of  well  drilling  machinery  connected  with  this  department  is  located 
south  of  Machinery  Hall.  Here  are  all  rarities  of  apparatus  employed  in  drill- 
ing for  water,  gas  and  oil.  The  tram-way  connecting  the  outside  ore-yard  with 
the  building  carries  material  for  demonstrating  purposes  to  the  mouth  of  the 
tunnel  which  runs  across  the  south  end  of  the  building.  Mine  cars  are  run 
through  the  tunnel  to  carry  the  raw  material  at  such  times  and  to  such  places  as 
it  may  be  required.  This  tunnel  is  open  to  the  inspection  of  visitors.  The  gal- 
lery is  occupied  with  displays  of  a  lighter  and  more  technical  character.  At  the 
north  end  one  of  the  leading  oil  companies  of  the  United  States  has  an  exhibit 
presenting  the  entire  story  of  oil  production,  manufacture  and  distribution. 
Near  by  have  been  arranged  a  series  of  courts  in  which  are  grouped,  according 
t  )  affinity,  all  of  the  industrial  and  economic  mineral  material,  such  as  graphites, 
clays,  asbestos,  limestones,   cement,  salts,   sulphurs,  pigments,  mineral  waters,

abrasives,  etc.  A  national  display  of  building  stones  in  cubes  of  uniform  size  is 
situated  at  the  center  of  the  west  gallery  and  in  connection  herewith  are 
seen  very  interesting  enlarged  microscopic  slides  of  rock  sections,  etc.  Next  to 
this  is  a  departmental  coal  display,  consisting  of  samples  of  coal  from  all  of  the 
principal  coal  mines  of  the  country,  in  uniform  size,  upon  aluminum  mounts, 
and  arranged  around  a  large  plate  glass  map,  showing  the  geographic  and  topo- 
graphic position  of  the  contributing  mines.  An  extensive  coke  plant  is  near  by 
reproduced  in  miniature.  An  operating  assay  laboratory  is  open  to  the  in- 
spection of  visitors  in  the  room  at  the  southeast  corner,  and  a  library  and  read- 
ing room  of  books  and  periodicals  on  mining  and  metallurgy  is  accessible  to  all 
in  the  room  at  the  southwest  corner.  Here  also  the  associated  societies  of 
Mining  and  Civil  Engineers  are  located.  Models  of  famous  mines  or  special 
mine  workings,  are  exhibited  in  the  northeast  corner.  Almost  the  entire  west 
gallery  is  occupied  by  departmental  collections  in  metallurgy  and  mineralogy. 
These  collections  are  displayed  in  cases  and  cabinets  of  uniform  size  and  illus- 
trate valuable  and  scientific  mineral  series,  while  a  sequential  exhibit  of  metal 
reduction  samples  exemplifies  the  processes  employed  in  the  metallurgic  arts. 
A  long  row  of  ground  glass  transparencies  hang  before  the  windows  and  show 
pictorially  the  primitive  appliances  and  methods  used  by  the  ancients  both  in 
mining  and  metallurgy.  The  offices  of  the  chief  and  his  assistants  are  located 
in  the  upper  northwest  corner  of  the  building.

Suggestions 

YOU   NEED  EXERCISE-there  are  several 

REASONS  WHY 

IF  YOU  ARE  A  BUSINESS  MAN,  to  clear  your  brain,  to 
smooth  off  the  rough  edges  of  business  cares.  The  Rambler 
Bicycle  affords  a  medium/air  excellence  for  "comfortable  exercise." 

IF  IN  POOR  H  E  ALT  Hs  you  can  regain  good  health  through  the 
judicious  use  of  the  Bicycle — the  Rambler  Spring  Frame  reduces 
excessive  vibration  and  makes  exercise  safe. 

IF  IN  GOOD  HEALTH,,  Bicycle  Riding  will  keep  you  so.  In 
your  children  the  Bicycle  lays  the  foundation  of  a  healthful  and 
useful  life.  A  good  intellect  reaches  its  highest  excellence  only 
in  a  healthy  body. 

IF  YOU  ARE  A  WOMAN,  the  Bicycle  affords  a  most  pleas- 
ant means  of  obtaining  exercise,  which  you,  of  all  others,  most 
need.  Riding  any  Bicycle  is  exercise — riding  Rambler  Bicycles 
is  "comfortable  and  luxurious  exercise." 

IF  YOU  ARE  BEAUTIFUL,  Bicycle  Riding  will  preserve 
your  beauty.  Exercise  means  health.  There  is  no  real  Beauty 
without  Good  Health. 

IF  YOU  ARE  NOT  A  BEAUTTY,  you  may  at  least  make 
yourself  more  attractive.  The  Bicycle  brightens  the  eye,  puts 
a  flush  of  health  on  the  cheek,  takes  you  out  to  nature,  to  the 
pure  fresh  air.  They  are  yours  ;  enjoy  them — do  it  "luxuriously" 
on  a  Rambler  Bicycle.

T/HESE  works  for  the  past  forty  years  have  held  the  leading  place  among  the  engineering  establishments  of  the 
Pacific  Coast.  Until  ten  years  ago  the  work  was  principally  that  of  a  general  engineering  business.  In 
Mining  Machinery  they  have  always  been,  and  still  are,  in  the  front  line  of  progress.  Much  of  the  best 
machinery,  both  for  mining  and  reducing  ores,  in  the  Pacific  states  and  territories  have  originated  in  the 
Union  Iron  Works. 
Since  ship  building  was  added  to  the  business  of  this  company,  the  works  have  expanded  so  that  they 
now  cover  an  area  of  twenty-three  acres.  Extensive  wharves  provide  berths  for  vessels  fitting  out  and  undergoing 
repairs,  with  two  sets  of  lifting  shears,  one  of  100  tons  capacity,  the  other  of  30  tons. 

Seven  years  ago  this  company  opened  their  new  hydraulic  lift  dock  for  the  use  of  shipping  in  San  Francisco  harbor. 
This  dock  is  437  feet  long,  62  feet  wide  in  the  clear,  and  has  a  lifting  capacity  of  4,000  tons. 

Since  the  opening  of  the  dock  over  800  vessels  have  been  lifted,  having  a  gross  tonnage  of  about  1,000,000  tons,  with- 
out any  accident  whatever.     This  dock  was  designed  by  the  Manager  of  the  works,  and  built  by  the  company. 

The  United  States  Government  have  entrusted  this  company  with  building,  so  far,  five  of  the  best  ships  in  the  new 
navy.  The  "Charleston,"  18  knot  cruiser  of  3,750  tons  displacement;  the  "San  Francisco,"'  19  knot  cruiser  of  4,080  tons 
displacement;  the  armored  coast  defense  vessel  "MONTEREY,"  of  5,400  H.  P.,  and  4,000  tons  displacement;  the 
"OLYMPIA,"  whose  profile  heads  this  page,  and  the  battle  ship  "Oregon,"  of  9,000  H.  P.,  and  10,500  tons  displacement. 
Besides  this  national  work,  passenger  and  freight  steamers  have  been  built  for  the  Pacific  Mail  S.  S.  Company's 
China  trade,  thePuget  Sound  passenger  trade,  and  the  Pacific  Coast  S.  S.  Company's  coast  trade. 

This  is  the  only  modern  ship-building  establishment  on  the  western  side  of  the  American  continent.  A  complete 
model  of  these  works,  to  a  scale  of  one-fourth  inch  to  the  foot,  can  be  seen  in  Section  E,  Entresol  floor  of  the  Trans- 
portation Building.

DEPARTMENT  G— TRANSPORTATION  EXHIBITS. 

(railways,  vessels,  vehicles.) 

THE  wonderful  progress  of  the  nineteenth  century  is  due  to  improved  methods 
of  transportation  more  than  to  any  other  agency.  The  steamboat,  the  rail- 
way and  modern  methods  of  quick  conveyance  of  persons,  goods  and  intelh 
gence — all  had  their  birth  in  the  first  half  of  the  century,  and  have  been 
supplemented  and  improved  to  a  marvelous  degree  during  the  latter  half.  It  has 
remained  for  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  to  recognize  fittingly  this  dis- 
tinguishing characteristic  of  the  age  by  creating  a  department  which  is  devoted 
to  transportation  in  all  its  forms.  In  order  to  give  the  subject  a  high  degree  of 
interest  and  the  greatest  educational  value  it  is  treated  from  a  historical  point  of 
view.     There  is  then  also  added   +o  what  might  otherwise  seem  a  mere  dry  study 


of  machinery, even

while  not  particularly  elaborate  or  artistic,  are  well  worth  careful  study  as  they 
are  in  every  case  from  the  most  authentic  sources. 

The  first  attempts  at  navigation  are  well  illustrated  by  canoes  and  rafts  which 
bear  many  strange  names,  and  which  have  been  gathered  from  the  islands  of  the 
sea;  the  heart  of  the  dark  continent;  the  rivers  and  lakes  of  the  frontier  regions 
of  the  Americas;  and  the  frozen  regions  of  the  far  North.  Some  of  these,  as  in 
the  case  of  the  Jangada  of  Brazil  and  the  Champan  of  the  Magdalena  river,  are  so 
large  that  they  may  be  shown  only  on  the  lagoons,  and  the  smallest  dug-out  is 
hardly  larger  than  a  good-sized  chopping  bowl.  More  picturesque  forms  abound 
in  the  shape  of  gondolas,  daghsas  and  the  high-prowed  boats  of  Norway.  The 
lagoons  also  bear  upon  their  bosoms  the  three  vessels  forming  the  Columbus  fleet, 
the  famous  Viking  boat  of  Norway,  and,  anchored  in  front  of  the  Golden  Door,  a 
Braggaza  of  the  Adriatic  flaunts  its  richly  colored  sails.  Darting  back  and  forth 
among  these  forms  of  other  days  and  climes,  a  fleet  of  electric  launches,  silent  but 
sure,  carry  the  visitor  through  a  scene  of  pristine  Venetian  beauty.  Agile  and 
skillful  gondoliers  dodge  hither   and    yon.       More  slow  and    cumbrous  is    the

brilliant  state  barge,  and  the  "Phoenix-boat"  of  the  Japanese  Commission  excites 
surprise  that  the  oar  should  have  been  abandoned  in  favor  of  a  silent  battery  with 
stored  energy. 

Within  the  building  again  is  found  still  other  development  in  water  craft. 
Innumerable  models,  accurate  in  every  particular,  illustrate  the  oddities  of  the 
marine  construction  of  China,  India,  Ceylon,  Siam  and  the  Malay  peninsula.  The 
use  of  the  various  forms  appears  in  pictures  from  original  photographs  made  by  the 
Exposition's  own  representatives  in  many  lands.  A  superb  Turkish  caique  is  one 
of  the  many  similar  objects  of  interest. 

The  growth  and  present  perfection  and  variety  of  the  merchant  marine  and 
the  navies  of  the  nations  of  to-day  appear  graphically  in  the  shape  of  hundreds  of 
models  of  the  finest  workmanship.  The  great  ship-builders  of  the  world,  and 
especially  of  that  country  which  has  so  long  ruled  the  sea,  have  vied  with  each 
other  in  showing  the  miniatures  of  their  triumphs.  The  great  steamship  lines  of 
the  world  vary  this  by  dioramas,  and  other  devices,  for  illustrating  life  at  sea.  At 
one  point  in  the  building  there  arises  before  the  visitor  the  side  of  a  great  Trans- 
Atlantic  liner — or,  at  least,  a  section  of  it  sixty  feet  in  length.  Entering  on  the 
lower  deck  one  may  pass  through  the  various  rooms  and  ascend  staircase  after 
staircase  for  five  stories,  the  rooms  and  their  fittings  and  furnishings  being 
identical  with  those  of  the  real  steamers.  And  then  there  are  superb  collections 
of  sail  and  row  boats,  yachts  and  launches  of  such  graceful  lines  and  elegant  finish 
that  one  lingers  longingly  over  them  and  wishes  his  purse  were  something  fatter. 

Rising  aspiringly  in  the  southern  central  court  is  a  huge  steam  hammer — 
the  fac-simile  of  that  of  125  tons,  the  largest  in  the  world.  It  calls  attention  to 
the  fact  that  not  only  the  "fruits  of  peace,"  but  the  "peace  makers"  have  here  a 
place.  Because  naval  vessels  group  properly  with  merchant  marine  and  pleasure 
craft — they  keep  them  company  and  bring  with  themselves  naval  armament  and 
equipment.  Recent  improvements  in  armor  plate  and  naval  ordnance  are  fully 
shown  and  will  bear  careful  scientific  study.  An  important  and  fascinating  por- 
tion of  the  marine  exhibit  is  in  the  gallery  floor,  which  is  reached  by  elevators 
at  frequent  intervals. 

These  elevators  are  themselves  exhibits  of  vertical  transportation,  and 
although  a  small  fee  is  charged  for  the  privilege,  one  should  not  omit  an  ascent 
to  the  dome  of  the  building  by  means  of  one  of  the  eight  lifts  grouped  in  the 
center.  The  view  from  the  dome  is  superb  and  even  entrancing.  It  has  also  a 
special  value  as  a  means  of  observing  the  working  of  the  various  railway  and 
and  water  systems  within  and  without  the  grounds — a  scene  without  a  parallel. 
In  coming  down  one  may  stop  at  the  upper  bridge  and  go  out  on  the  terrace 
surmounting  the  Golden  Door,  where  in  full  view  of  the  beautiful  wooded  island, 
central  lagoon  and  the  surrounding  palaces  rest  and  refreshment  may  be  found 
at  a  charming  out-of-door  cafe. 

One  can  not  fail  to  note  the  luxurious  and  useful  modern  carriages  and  other 
wheeled  vehicles,  which  the  most  celebrated  makers  in  the  world  are  displaying. 
Here  and  there  is  an  "old  timer"  like  the  "deacon's  one-hoss-shay."  There  are 
some  which  belonged  to  celebrated  men  of  another  day.  A  Lord  Mayor's  state 
coach  stands  out  in  a  startling  contrast  with  a  rude  "carreta,"  made  without 
metal  by  the  untutored  hands  of  Pueblo  Indians.  There  is  a  gaudy  outfit  of  cart 
and  harness  from  Palermo,  land  sledges  from  Funchal,  a  caleche  from  Quebec 
and  a  Cuban  Volante.  The  horse,  the  ox,  and  the  ass  appear  in  various  burden 
bearing  capacities,  and  harness  and  saddlery  abound  in  most  useful  and  econom- 
ical forms,  as  well  as  in  the  elegant  and  even  fantastic. 

The  human  pack  animal  is  not  forgotten.  The  cargadores  of  South  America, 
and  the  street  carriers  of  the  Orient  form  picturesque  groups.  Palanquins, 
traveling  hammocks,  and  sedans  from  remote  corners  of  the  globe,  and  some 
from  remote  times,  illustrate  how  one  class  of  mankind  drudges  that  another 
may  ride  in  luxury. 

Oddly  contiguous  to  these  boxes  and  bags  on  poles,  rise  many  beautiful  pa- 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  781 

vilions  which  shelter  the  pets  of  the  "wheel-men."  The  bicycle  exhibit  is 
found  in  the  beautifully  lighted  and  readily  accessible  entresol.  Several  nations 
have  contributed,  but  the  American  makers,  both  for  the  number  and  beauty  of 
their  displays,  are  entitled  to  unstinted  praise. 

There  are  choice  and  rare  marine  exhibits  on  the  gallery  floor,  some  beauti- 
ful dioramas  and  many  exceedingly  important  engineering  models,  drawings  and 
maps.  The  Associated  Engineering  Societies  of  Germany  occupy  the  southern 
gallery  with  an  exhibit  which  has  cost  a  large  amount  of  work  and  money — a 
very  large  amount  when  it  is  considered  that  the  commercial  inducement  plays 
only  a  very  slight  part  of  it  and  that  it  is  intended  almost  solely  as  contribution  to 
the  engineering  advancement  of  the  world. 

It  is  a  "far-cry"  from  the  outfit  with  which  an  African  explorer  has  pierced 
the  jungles,  to  a  modern  "sixty  mile  an  hour"  locomotive,  and  the  sumptuous 
hotels  on  wheels  which  it  draws.  Possibly  there  is  no  better  illustration  of  the 
importance  the  Exposition  has  obtained  abroad  than  the  fact  that  it  has  drawn 
across  the  Atlantic  such  cumbrous  articles  as  cars  and  locomotives,  which  can 
meet  no  sale  here  because  they  were  built  for  and  adapted  to  different  con- 
ditions— not  to  mention  the  heavy  tariff,  which  also  blocks  the  way.  There  have 
been  interesting  exhibitions  of  railway  machinery  before,  but  never  one  of  an  inter- 
national character.  The  technical  student  will  here  find  plenty  of  material  for 
his  earnest  investigation — and  every  one  must  find  much  of  curious  interest  and 
valuable  information.  The  large  western  portion  of  the  building  (called  "the 
annex")  contains  over  two  and  one-half  miles  of  railway  tracks.  Here  are  gath- 
ered the  machinery  and  appliances  used  in  constructing,  maintaining  and  opera- 
ting all  forms  of  railways.  Railway  exhibits  are  also  found  to  some  extent  on 
all  parts  of  the  ground  floor.  It  should  be  explained  that  each  foreign  country 
has  deemed  it  necessary  to  keep  its  entire  transportation  exhibit  together  in  one 
court  or  place — a  fact  which  rendered  it  impossible  to  exact  and  maintain  a 
careful  classification  in  the  arrangement  of  exhibits. 

The  visitor  will  readily  find  at  one  place  a  long  unbroken  aisle,  on  one  side 
of  which  he  will  see  a  complete  mahogany  trans-continental  train  of  the  Cana- 
dian Pacific  railway,  and  on  the  other,  a  superb  locomotive  and  coaches  of  the 
pattern  favored  in  the  mother  country — sent  by  the  London  &  North-Western 
Railway.  Close  at  hand  is  a  huge  broad-guage  (7  feet)  locomotive,  "the  Lord 
of  the  Isles" — an  imposing  relic  of  a  system  which  has  now  passed  away.  It  is 
worth  while  noting  that  this  identical  locomotive  formed  the  principal  railway 
exhibit  in  the  first  great  World's  Fair  in  London  in  185 1. 

The  heart  of  the  railway  exhibit  is  a  vast  historical  collection,  gathered  with 
infinite  pains  and  great  expense  by  the  Baltimore  &  Ohio  railroad  and  denomi- 
nated "The  Railways  of  the  World."  To  the  completeness  of  this  collection  the 
Department  of  Transportation  Exhibits  of  the  Exposition  has  contributed  to  a 
considerable  extent — the  idea  being  to  make  this  the  principal  historical  center. 
A  brief  description  can  not  be  given.  A  fairly  exhaustive  one  would  require 
volumes. 

Next,  to  the  south,  comes  the  magnificent  Pullman  exhibit,  which  affords 
the  opportunity  of  saying  that  the  three  finest  complete  trains  of  cars  ever  built 
are  to  be  seen  on  exhibition  in  this  department.  There  is  in  the  heart  of  the 
main  building  a  complete  model  of  the  "transportation  town"  of  Pullman.  Ad- 
joining it  is  a  model  railway  ticket  office.  Then  come  acres  of  cars  and  locomo- 
tives and  their  appliances.  A  most  interesting  bit  of  all  this  is  a  contrasting 
historical  exhibit  of  the  Old  Colony  railroad,  which  no  one  should  fail  to  see. 
The  impression  formed  by  the  vast  collection  of  locomotives  from  a  "baby  ele- 
phant" to  a  veritable  "mastodon"  is  worth  experiencing.  There  are  some  minia- 
ture locomotives  also,  and  some  rare  reminders  of  the  first  whistles  which  ever 
shrieked  across  western  prairies. 

The  Imperial  Commissioner  for  Germany  has  certainly  met  with  wonderful 
success  in  his  transportation  exhibit.  The  Postal  Museum  of  Berlin  sends  its

choicest  models;  the  Prussian  State  railways  send  locomotives  and  cars;  there  is 
the  largest  portion  of  a  great  track  museum  from  Osnabruck;  an  interesting 
variety  of  marine  models  and  appliances;  and  in  the  gallery  the  vast  and  com- 
prehensive engineering  exhibit,  already  alluded  to. 

The  French  exhibit  <is  especially  strong  in  the  vehicle  division,  but  there 
are  some  exceedingly  interesting  railway  exhibits  as  well,  notably  the  locomotives 
which  are  installed  in  the  main  building. 

As  one  passes  out  the  southwestern  corner  of  the  main  building,  he  comes 
upon  an  exhibit  of  quick-firing  machine  guns.  Just  outside  the  building  along 
the  southern  line  of  the  Annex  is  found  a  great  exhibit  by  the  Vanderbilt  System 
of  Railways.  A  beautiful  building,  the  central  portion  of  which  is  somewhat 
like  a  triumphal  arch,  forms  the  front  of  the  exhibit  looking  toward  the  south, 
and  the  passenger  department  has  its  interesting  display  in  one  of  the  two  rooms 
of  the  building.  The  historical  feature  is  again  prominent.  The  old  locomotive 
"  DeWitt  Clinton"  attached  to  two  of  the  original  passenger  cars  of  the  Mohawk 
and  Hudson  railroad  made  familiar  by  the  well-known  silhouette  pictures, 
stands  in  striking  contrast  with  the  "  Empire  State  "  Fast  Express,  claimed  to  be 
the  fastest  regular  train  in  the  world,  and  the  New  York  and  Chicago  limited 
train  of  Wagner  cars. 

Directly  across  the  open  court  (affording  here  a  broad  entrance  from  the 
Sixty-fourth  street  gate)  is  the  elegant  model  railway  station  which  shelters  the 
elaborate  historical  and  technical  exhibit  of  the  Pennsylvania  railroad,  and 
forms  the  entrance  to  its  track  exhibit.  Here  indeed  is  food  for  the  student 
Four  tracks  are  shown  of  the  Pennsylvania  standard,  with  underground  and  over- 
head cross-overs  for  passengers,  signal  tower,  etc.,  and  a  suburban  "umbrella" 
station  on  the  further  side.  The  specially  constructed  car  which  brought  the 
great  Krupp  gun  from  the  sea-cast  stands  here  with  a  "  quaker"  gun,  identical 
in  appearance  with  the  genuine  monster. 

Further  south  one  comes  upon  a  model  railway  water  station,  the  street 
railway  exhibition  tracks  with  electric  and  other  motor  cars  running  back  and 
forth;  and  if  the  visitor  is  a  railway  man  he  will  want  to  go  still  further  and 
investigate  the  switch  and  signal  system  of  the  passenger  terminals  which  here 
curve  into  the  great  station. 

The  great  exhibit  of  Krupp,  of  Essen,  Germany,  which  is  located  in  its  own 
building  on  the  lake  shore,  south-east  of  the  Agricultural  Building,  belongs  to 
this  department  also.  Together  with  a  large  amount  of  railway  material,  there 
is  a  vast  collection  of  naval  and  military  ordnance  and  their  concomitants.  The 
largest  gun  in  the  world  (125  tons)  is  a  mighty  magnet,  drawing  every  visitor  on 
the  grounds  to  this  spot.  The  successful  transportation  of  this  immense  weight 
from  Germany  to  Chicago  is  something  those  immediately  concerned  in  may 
well  be  proud  of. 

After  a  hasty  glance  at  the  exhibits  of  the  Transportation  Exhibits  Depart- 
ment the  elegant  little  steamship  building  between  the  Horticultural  and  the 
Woman's  Buildings  may  be  visited;  as  also  a  number  of  important  exhibits  lo- 
cated in  the  open  air  at  the  north  of  the  Annex. 

The  Transportation  Exhibits  Building  is  unique  in  its  architecture.  -Its 
gorgeous  exterior  decoration  and  its  suberb  golden  door  will  identify  it  at  once. 
Its  location  on  the  western  bank, of  the  central  lagoon,  looking  upon  the  wooded 
island,  brings  it  directly  in  the  highway  of  greatest  travel.  Its  polychromatic 
front  bears  the  names  of  illustrious  railway  and  marine  inventors  and  sculptured 
groups  idealizing  the  different  forms  of  transportation.  The  north  and  south 
entrance  are  also  elaborate  and  bear  the  individual  statues  of  many  of  the  men 
who  brought  these  things  to  pass.  A  peculiar  feature  of  the  vast  annex  is 
the  fact  that  it  was  found  necessary  to  carry  the  Intramural  Electric  rail- 
way over  its  roof;  and  the  Elevated  railway  from  the  city  also  enters  the  ground 
over  it.  The  descent  from  these  aerial  stations  is  at  the  southwestern  corner  of 
the  main  building. 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  783 

The  main  building  measures  960  feet  front  by  250  feet  deep.  From  this 
-extends  westward  to  Stoney  Island  an  enormous  annex,  covering  about  nine 
acres.  This  is  one  story  only  in  height.  In  it  may  be  seen  the  more  bulky 
•exhibits.  Along  the  central  avenue  or  nave  the  visitor  may  see  facing  each 
other  scores  of  locomotive  engines,  highly  polished,  and  rendering  the  per- 
spective effect  of  the  nave  both  exceedingly  novel  and  striking.  Add  to  the 
effect  of  the  exhibits  the  architectural  impression  given  by  a  long  vista  of  richly 
ornamented  colonnades,  and  it  may  easily  be  seen  that  the  interior  of  the 
Transportation  Building  is  one  of  the  most  impressive  of  the  Exposition.  The 
building  is  exquisitely  refined  and  simple  in  architectural  treatment,  although 
-very  rich  and  elaborate  in  detail.     In  style  it  savors  much  of  the  Romanesque. 

The  main  entrance  consists  of  an  immense  single  arch,  enriched  to  an 
extraordinary  degree  with  carvings,  bas-reliefs  and  mural  paintings,  the  entire 
feature  forming  a  rich  and  beautiful,  yet  quiet,  color  climax,  for  it  is  treated  in 
leaf,  and  is  called  the  Golden  Door.  The  remainder  of  the  architectural  corn- 
position  falls  into  a  just  relation  of  contrast  with  the  highly  wrought  entrance, 
and  is  duly  quiet  and  modest,  though  very  broad  in  treatment.  It  consists  of  a 
continuous  arcade,  with  subordinated  colonnade  and  entablature.  Numerous 
minor  entrances  are  from  time  to  time  pierced  in  the  walls,  and  with  them  are 
grouped  terraces,  seats,  drinking  fountains  and  statues. 

The  interior  of  the  building  is  treated  much  after  the  manner  of  a  Roman 
basilica,  with  broad  nave  and  aisles.  The  roof  is  therefore  in  three  divisions. 
The  middle  one  rises  much  higher  than  the  others,  and  its  walls  are  pierced  to 
form  a  beautiful  arcaded  clearstory.  The  cupola,  placed  in  the  center  of  the 
building  and  rising  165  feet  above  the  ground,  is  reached  by  elevators.  The  total 
floor  space  is  nearly  twenty  acres.  A  seventy-five-foot  transfer  table  traverses 
the  annex  along  the  western  line  of  the  main  building.  Railway  tracks  are  laid 
in  the  annex  at  right  angles  to  the  transfer  table.  The  heaviest  locomotives  and 
cars  can  be  run  direct  from  the  installation  track,  which  runs  alongside  the 
southern  end  of  the  building,  upon  the  transfer  table,  which  takes  them  to  their 
proper  tracks  inside  the  building.  The  length  of  these  tracks  is  such  that  an 
entire  train  can  be  shown  connected  as  when  in  actual  use.  The  anmex  opens  into 
the  main  building  in  such  a  manner  as  to  afford  long  and  striking  vistas  down 
the  main  avenues  and  aisles. 

The  superintendent  of  the  vehicle  division  was  appointed  September  1,  1892. 
His  duties  were  the  assignment  of  space  to  the  exhibitors  and  taking  entire 
charge  of  the  vehicle  division,  which  consists  of  ail  styles  of  wheel  vehicles,  bi- 
cycles, carriage  and  saddlery  hardware.  He  is  under  the  direction  of  the  chief  of 
the  department  to  whom  he  is  held  responsible  for  the  proper  management  of 
his  division.  The  assignment  of  space  to  exhibitors  was  made  in  the  month  of 
October,  which  is  substantially  the  same  as  the  final  allotments,  with  a  few 
changes.  This  division  consists  of  the  entire  north  end  of  the  Transportation 
Building  and  annex,  200  feet  deep,  and  two-thirds  of  the  gallery  in  the  north  end 
of  the  building.  At  the  request  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Carriage 
Builders'  National  Association  the  chief  of  the  department  made  it  a  rule  that  all 
exhibitors  in  this  division  should  cover  their  floor  space  with  wood  carpet  and  pro- 
tecttheir  space  from  the  passageways  by  a  brass  railing.  This  has  all  been  complied 
with  by  the  exhibitors  and  it  presents  a  very  elegant  and  uniform  appearance. 
The  chief  of  the  department  also  adopted  a  uniform  sign  for  all  exhibitors,  con- 
sisting of  bevel  plate  glass  with  the  background  etched  in  gold  or  silver  with  a 
shaded  letter.  Where  practical  these  signs  are  supported  on  mounted  stands 
that  set  in  the  exhibitor's  space.  His  duties  during  the  Exposition  period  will 
be  superintendent  of  the  exhibitors  and  the  exhibits  in  this  division,  through 
whom  all  matters  connected  with  this  department  will  be  transacted  by  the 
exhibitors.  If  any  matters  are  to  be  referred  to  the  chief  of  the  department  it 
is  expected  to  be  done  through  the  superintendent. 

The  offices  of  the  Chief  of  the   Department,  Mr.   Willard  A.  Smith,  and  his

corps  of  assistants,  are  on  the  entresol  floor,  in  the  front  of  the  building  looking 
out  upon  a  most  novel  scene.  They  are  easily  reached  by  stairs  or  elevators, 
and  in  connection  with  them  will  be  found  the  rooms  which  are  ^designed  as 
headquarters  from  the  technical  press  and  for  railway  men  and  manufacturers.

DEPARTMENT  B— HORTICULTURE. 

THE  Horticultural  Building  occupies  an  advantageous  position  on  the  west 
side,  midway  between  the  north  and  south  boundaries  of  the  park.  It  presents 
a  magnificent  front  of  1,000  feet,  facing  the  lagoon  and  island,  and  has  an  extreme 
width  of  287  feet.  It  is  the  largest  and  grandest  building  ever  erected  for  a  hor- 
ticultural exhibition,  and  contains  about  89,000  square  feet  more  of  exhibiting 
space  than  the  combined  floor  areas  of  the  buildings  used  for  a  similar  purpose 
at  the  Centennial,  New  Orleans  and  Paris  expositions. 

The  varied  classification  of  the  horticultural  department  necessarily  requires 
a  building  adapted

goon  with  long 
vases  filled  with 
ing  plants,  is  asuc- 
leading  down  to  a 
picturesque     gon 


dolas  and  other  water  craft.  The  dome  is  sufficiently  large  to  admit  of  the  con- 
struction of  a  miniature  tropical  mountain  and  an  extensive  cave  underneath. 
Several  cascades  are  formed  upon  the  sides  of  the  mountain,  and  the  sparkling 
waters  leap  from  rock  to  rock  under  the  foliage  of  the  largest  palms,  tree  ferns 
and  other  tropical  plants  that  have  ever  been  collected  in  a  conservatory.  Aus- 
tralia, many  Central  and  South  American  countries,  Africa  and  every  nation  in 
Europe,  the  West  Indies,  China,  and  the  largest  conservatories  in  the  United 
States  have  contributed  to  the  collection  of  plants  which  are  exhibited  in  the 
dome  and  east  curtains.  Japan,  among  many  rare  plants,  furnishes  some  dwarf 
trees  more  than  100  years  old  and  only  a  few  feet  in  height,  The  entire  cave  is 
constructed  of  stalagmites,  stalacties  and  quartz  crystals  from  a  South  Dakota 
cave,  and  the  numerous  electric  lights  placed  within  it  produces  a  most  dazzling 
and  pleasing  effect. 

The  dome  gallery  contains  exhibits  of  herbariums,  florists'  supplies,  fruit  and 
flower  plates,  etc.,  and  is  used  as  a  promenade  from  which  to  look  down  on  the 
plant  displays. 

The  west  curtains,  in  which  the  pomological  exhibit  is  installed,  aggregate 
692  feet  in  length  and  are  46  feet  wide.     The  35,000  plates  and  jars  of  fruits  are 


THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 


from  every  part  of  the  world,  and  are  represented  either  in  fresh  specimens,  wax 
models,  or  varieties  preserved  in  fluids. 

Every  country  in  which  the  grape  is  grown  extensively,  is  making  a  display 
of  wines  on  the  first  and  second  floors  of  the  south  pavilion.  France,  Spain,  Por- 
tugal, Italy,  Germany  and  other  foreign  countries  are  in  the  contest  for  honors 
in  the  greatest  viticultural  exhibition  that  has  ever  taken  place. 

Each  floor  of  the  north  pavilion  is  devoted  to  seeds,  horticultural  appliances, 
canned  and  dried  fruits,  jellies,  marmalades,  etc.  The  largest  seed  firms  of 
Europe  and  America  are  well  represented;  improved  horticultural  machinery  is 
extensively  exhibited;  the  canned  fruit  displays  are  elaborate  and  tastefully  ar- 
ranged, and  there  is  in  this  pavilion  a  miscellaneous  list  of  exhibits  interesting  to 
all  classes  of  visitors. 

A  bearing  orchard  of  oranges,  lemons  and  other  citrus  fruits  fills  the  entire 
north  court;  while  the  opposite  court  on  the  south  contains  a  typical  wine  cellar 
from  the  Rhine,  in  Germany,  and  several  basins  of  artificially  heated  water  in 
which  are  grown  the  Victoria  Regia  with  its  enormous  leaves,  and  other  water 
plants. 

Artistically  arranged  flower  beds  occupy  the  space  in  front  of  the  Horticult- 
ural Building,  while  on  the  area  back,  there  is  a  varied  exhibit  of  greenhouses, 
constructed  by  leading  firms,  and  filled  with  rare  collections  of  plants. 

The  central  feature  in  the  landscape  architecture  of  the  entire  grounds  is 
the  island;  from  it  the  best  view  can  be  obtained  of  all  the  department  buildings. 
The  flower  beds  and  walks  have  been  designed  with«special  reference  to  exhihiting 
to  good  advantage  semi-hardy  rhododendrons,  azaleas,  kalmias,  conifers,  roses, 
etc.  Foreign  countries  have  been  the  most  liberal  contributors  and  the  exhibi- 
tion of  large  and  rare  specimens  is  unequaled. 

Five  acres  at  the  western  entrance  of  the  Midway  Plaisance  is  assigned  for 
a  nursery  exhibit.  France  is  making  a  very  interesting  display  in  fruit  trees 
trained  into  various  forms  and  grafted  in  different  ways,  as  well  as  a  great  variety 
of  evergreen  and  deciduous  shrubs.  The  State  of  Wisconsin  illustrates  with  bear- 
ing plants,  improved  methods  of  growing  and  flooding  cranberry  marshes.  An 
acre  in  bearing  orange  trees  and  many  exhibits  of  deciduous  and  evergreen  trees 
and  shrubs  make  very  attractive  displays. 

Cold  Storage. — Cold  storage  rooms  are  conveniently  located  for  preserving 
fruits  and  cut  flowers,  and  many  dealers  in  refrigerating  machinery  make  com- 
petitive tests  in  the  class  provided  for  that  purpose. 

Water. — Very  liberal  provision  has  been  made  for  water,  with  stand-pipes 
at  frequent  intervals,  to  which  hose  can  be  attached  for  sprinkling. 

Heat. — The  dome  and  front  curtain  are  heated  sufficiently  to  provide  a 
proper  temperature  for  the  most  tender  tropical  plants.  More  than  ten  miles  of 
15^-inch  steam  pipe  is  needed  for  this  purpose. 

Auxiliary  Greenhouses. — Near  the  Horticultural  Building  greenhouses 
aggregating  25,000  square  feet  have  been  constructed,  and  are  used  for  recuper- 
ating plants  injured  from  any  cause,  and  for  the  purpose  of  developing  them  to 
the  highest  degree  of  perfection  before  placing  them  on  exhibition. 

Propagating  Houses  and  Frames.— Eight  large  propagating  houses,  cov- 
ering a  space  of  20,000  square  feet,  have  been  provided.  Limited  room  in  these 
houses  has  been  assigned  to  exhibitors  who  will  propagate  plants  of  unusual 
merit,  which  can  not  be  transported  from  their  distant  homes,  and  the  balance 
is  devoted  by  the  department  to  growing  a  reserve  collection  of  plants  with 
which  to  replace  specimens  that  have  ceased  to  be  attractive  and  for  storing 
those  whose  season  of  beauty  has  passed.  A  large  number  of  cold  frames 
occupy  adjacent  grounds,  to  be  used  for  cultivating  pansies,  various  annuals  and 
bulbs  and  for  the  storage  of  half-hardy  plants.  The  classification  provides  for 
complete  exhibits  of  green  and  hot  houses  and  conservatories,  with  best  methods 
of  heating  and  ventilating  them. 

Out-Door  Space. — The  space  assigned   to  the  department   for  exhibits  of 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  831 

trees,  shrubs  and  plants  which  will  be  hardy  in  the  open  ground  during  the  time 
of  the  Exposition,  embraces  about  twenty-five  acres,  and  includes  the  greater 
part  of  a  beautiful  island,  centrally  located,  artistically  laid  out  in  beautiful 
walks,  and  the  choicest  part  of  the  grounds.  Through  this  entire  area  has 
been  placed  a  complete  network  of  pipes  to  supply  all  the  water  necessary  to 
insure  a  vigorous  and  healthy  growth  of  all  trees,  shrubs  and  plants.  Displays 
of  deciduous  shrubs,  roses,  paeonies,  and  such  herbaceous  plants  as  delphiniums, 
pyrethrums,  etc.,  have  been,  in  many  instances,  already  permanently  placed. 

FLORICULTURE. 

About  a  week  before  the  opening  of  the  Exposition  the  management  paid 
Mr.  John  Thorpe  a  decided  compliment.  Mr.  Thorpe's  title  was  Superintendent 
of  Floriculture.  The  management  raised  the  Bureau  of  Floriculture  to  a  depart- 
ment and  made  Mr.  Thorpe  chief.  Horticulture  will  remain  as  before  under 
the  charge  of  Chief  Samuels,  but  the  two  departments  will  be  distinct.  The 
show  of  flowers  was  the  center  of  attraction  on  the  grounds  before  the  opening 
of  the  Exposition  and  its  proportions  have  surpassed  the  wildest  expectations  of 
the  officers  themselves.  There  is  no  one  to  whom  more  credit  is  due  than  Mr. 
Thorpe.  He  has  worked  with  the  energy  of  six  men,  toiled  night  and  day,  and 
knows  every  detail  of  the  exhibit. 

The  plan  for  the  exhibits  of  flowers  from  the  opening  until  the  closiitg  of 
the  Exposition  is  as  follows  : 

MAY.

other  varieties,  miscellaneous  tender  varieties.

DEPARTMENT  K.— FINE  ARTS. 

IT  is  the  aim  of  this  department  to  show  a  collectio  i  of  the  fine  arti;  of  the 
various  nations,  giving  each  country  adequate  space  in  which  fairly  to  repre- 
sent its  highest  and  most  characteristic  achievements  in  painting,  sculpture,  archi- 
tecture and  decoration.  In  sculpture  and  architecture  figures  and  monumental 
decorations,  bas-reliefs  in  marble  or  bronze.,  figures  or  groups  in  bronze,  gems, 
cameos  and  intaglios  are  shown.  Paintings  in  oil,  paintings  in  water  color,  paint- 
ings on  ivory,  on  enamel,  on  metal,  on  porcelain  and  other  wares,  and  fresco 
painting  on  walls,  are  included  within  the  groupings,  and  in  addition  there  are 
engravings  and  etchings,  prints,  chalk,  charcoal,  pastel  and  other  drawings.  All 
the  works  admitted  to  the  department  were  first  examined  by  juries  duly  consti- 
tuted. 

The  building  is  Grecian-Ionic  in  style,  and  is  a  pure  type  of  the  most  refined 
classic  architecture.  Perhaps  no  building- in  the  world,  and  certainly  no  one  in 
the  United  States,  surpasses  it  in  beauty.  .  Connoisseurs  have  pronounced  it  per- 
cect  in  every  detail,  and  have   been   lavish   in  the  praise  of  the  chief  designer,

paintings  and  sculptured  panels  in  relief.  The  corners  made  by  the  crossing  of 
the  nave  and  transept  are  filled  with  small  picture  galleries. 

Around  the  entire  building  are  galleries  forty  feet  wide,  forming  a  continu- 
ous promenade  around  the  structure.  Between  the  promenade  and  the  naves  are 
the  smaller  rooms  devoted  to  private  collections  of  paintings  and  the  collections 
of  the  various  art  schools.  On  either  side  of  the  main  building,  and  connected 
with  it  by  handsome  corridors,  are  very  large  annexes,  which  are  also  utilized  by 
various  art  exhibits. 

The  main  building  is  entered  by  four  great  portals,  richly  ornamented  with 
architectural  sculpture,  and  approached  by  broad  flights  of  steps.  The  walls  of 
the  loggia  of  the  colonnades  are  highly  decorated  with  mural  paintings,  illus- 
trating the  history  and  progress  of  the  arts.  The  frieze  of  the  exterior  walls  and 
the  pediments  of  the  principal  entrances  are  ornamented  with  sculptures  and 
portraits  in  bas-relief  of  the  masters  of  ancient  art.     The  general  tone  or  color  is 


876  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

light  gray  stone.  The  construction  is  necessarily  fire-proof.  The  main  walls  are 
of  solid  brick,  covered  with  "staff,"  architecturally  ornamented,  while  the  roof, 
floors  and  galleries  are  of  iron.  All  light  is  supplied  through  glass  skylights  in 
iron  frames.  The  building  is  located  in  the  northern  portion  of  the  'park,  with 
the  south  front  facing  the  lagoon.  It  is  separated  from  the  lagoon  by  beautiful 
terraces,  ornamented  with  balustrades,  with  an  immense  flight  of  steps  leading 
down  from  the  main  portal  to  the  lagoon,  where  there  is  a  landing  for  boats. 
The  north  front  faces  the  wide  lawn  and  the  group  of  State  buildings.  The  im- 
mediate neighborhood  of  the  building  is  ornamented  with  groups  of  statues, 
replica  ornaments  of  classic  art,  such  as  the  Choriagic  monument,  the  "Cave  of 
the  Winds,"  and  other  beautiful  examples  of  Grecian  art.  The  ornamentation 
also  includes  statues  of  heroic  and  life-size  proportions. 

There  is  an  eastern  and  western  annex  to  the  main  building  each  of  which  is 
120x200  feet. 

A  better  representation  from  a  greater  number  of  different  nations  is  seen 
than  has  ever  been  brought  together  at  any  previous  Exposition.  The  responses 
from  foreign  governments  and  the  enthusiasm  of  foreign  artists  when  the  art 
exhibit  was  thrown  open  to  them  has  far  exceeded  the  most  sanguine  predictions 
of  two  years  ago.  Visitors  will,  therefore,  see  not  only  an  epochal  exhibit  of 
American  art,  but  the  choicest  productions  of  the  world's  great  masters  from 
across  the  sea.  Space  is  assigned  to  France,  Germany,  Austria,  Holland,  Great 
Britain,  Belgium,  Sweden,  Norway,  Denmark,  Russia,  Italy,  Spain,  Japan,  Canada 
and  Mexico.  There  is  also  a  gallery  devoted  to  modern  European  master-pieces 
owned  in  private  collections  in  America.  This  space  is  situated  between  the 
United  States  and  French  sections.  Lovers  of  the  finesse  in  the  French  school 
will  see  masterpieces  by  acknowledged  leaders.  The  famous  Dutch  school,  the 
Russian,  the  less  known  but  powerful  Scandinavian,  the  impressionist,  and  many 
others  are  represented  by  a  selection  of  the  choicest  productions  from  the 
leaders  of  each  school.  When  it  comes  to  a  critical  study  of  American  art,  the 
patriotic  American  will  discover  therein  not  only  certain  characteristics  of  each 
of  the  foreign  schools,  but  a  distinct  individuality,  just  as  the  American  charac- 
ter is  composite  and  a  reflex  of  its  varied  sources. 

The  international  fine  arts  expositions  of  the  past  may  be  said  to  have  begun 
with  Paris  in  1867.  Then  followed  Vienna  in  1873,  Philadelphia  in  1876,  Paris  in 
1878,  and  special  exhibitions  of  fine  arts  in  Berlin  and  Munich  some  years  later. 
Then  came  the  Melbourne  Exposition,  preceding  the  last  great  international 
exposition  in  Paris  in  1889.  ^n  idea  of  the  scope  of  the  present  fine  arts  expo- 
sition may  be  gathered  from  the  fact  that  the  fine  arts  exhibit  contains  between 
1,500  and  2,000  pieces  in  the  American  section  alone.  In  round  figures  France 
contributes  800  pieces,  Germany  900,  Dutch  artists  300,  England  600,  Austria 
300,  Denmark  250,  Sweden  200,  Italy  600,  Norway  180  and  Belgium  400.  The 
largest  space  is  given  to  the  United  States  artists.  Next  comes  France  with 
19,201  square  feet,  next  Germany,  Great  Britain,  Italy,  Belgium  and  Austria  in 
order,  and  so  on  ranging  down  to  Mexico,  which  has  1,500  square  feet.  In  secur- 
ing a  good  representation  of  American  art,  advisory  committees  were  appointed 
in  the  leading  art  centers  of  the  United  States  and  in  European  centers  where 
American  art  colonies  flourished.  By  an  interchange  of  service  these  advisory 
committees  became  juries  of  selection.  The  work  of  these  juries  and  of  the 
national  jury  for  the  west  and  south  that  recently  performed  its  labors  in  Chicago, 
is  familiar  to  the  reading  public.  For  a  special  exhibition  of  retrospective 
American  art,  a  special  committee  was  appointed  to  solicit  from  private 
American  owners  and  societies  a  loan  collection  that  would  best  exhibit  histor- 
ical art  in  America.  This  committee  has  selected  about  a  hundred  pieces  that 
are  hung  together  in  one  of  the  galleries.  The  collection  shows  the  work  of 
native  artists  from  the  earliest  known  specimens  down  to  1876.  There  is  a  loan 
collection  of  foreign  masterpieces,  owned  in  America,  which  are  hung  in  three 
adjoining  galleries  in  the  west  end  of  the  east  pavilion.      These  are  all  the  prop- 


(WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  877 

erty  of  American  collectors.  They  include  all  the  illustrious  naifies  among  artists, 
beginning  with  the  dawn  of  this  century  and  up  to  the  present  time.  From  Bos- 
ton and  San  Francisco,  from  New  York,  Chicago,  Philadelphia  and  other  centers, 
these  pictures  come.  Millet,  Rosa  Bonheur,  Carolus-Doran,  John  Constable, 
Millais,  Meissonier,  Alma  Tadema  and  a  score  of  other  famous  names  are  repre- 
sented. There  are  about  150  pieces  in  the  loan  collection.  The  lenders  include 
the  best  known  art  patrons  in  America.  From  Chicago  galleries  there  are  paint- 
ings loaned  by  Potter  Palmer,  Charles  T.  Yerkes,  Mrs.  Henry  Field,  R.  Hall 
McCormick,  Martin  Ryerson,  C.  L.  Hutchinson,  A.  A.  Munger  and  S.  M.  Nick- 
erson. 

The  east  ana  west  pav;l?ons  connect  with  the  central  pavilion  by  means  of 
corridors,  which  are  also  used  as  galleries.  The  east  pavilion  contains  the  French 
government  exhibit  and  also  the  French  masterpieces  owned  by  Americans.  The 
west  pavilion  contains  the  Italian  exhibit  and  the  exhibits  of  several  other  foreign 
countries  whose  space  is  limited.  The  central  pavilion  has  two  floors  for  the 
exhibit  of  paintings.  The  northeast  section,  or  one-fourth  of  the  space  for 
paintings,  is  devoted  to  the  works  of  United  States  artists.  The  southeast  sec- 
tion is  given  up  to  Great  Britain  and  Canada.  The  southwest  section  contains 
the  works  of  art  sent  by  Holland,  Spain,  Russia  and  Japan.  The  northwest  sec- 
tion contains  all  the  German  paintings.  In  general  terms  the  oil  paintings  are 
all  hung  on  the  ground  floor  in  the  central  pavilion,  while  water  colors  are  on 
the  second  floor.  There  is  a  overflow  exhibit  of  oil  paintings  upstairs  in  the 
American  section. 

Between  these  four  quadrangles  are  four  courts  and  the  central  rotunda. 
The  north  and  south  courts  contain  the  groupings  of  statuary.  The  east  and 
west  courts  contain  the  architectural  exhibit.  Here  are  seen  structures  and  casts 
illustrating  ancient,  mediaeval  and  modern  architecture.  Cases  of  antique  and 
modern  carvings,  and  architectural  drawings  are  hung  on  the  walls.  In  the  north 
and  south  courts  is  the  installation  of  statuary.  There  are  figures  and  groups  in 
marble,  casts  from  original  works  by  modern  artists,  models,  monumental  deco- 
rations, figures  and  groups  in  bronze  and  bas-reliefs  in  marble  and  bronze. 

The  central  rotunda  contains  a  heroic  figure  of  Washington  by  Thomas  Ball. 
On  the  sides  of  the  rotunda  are  twelve  spaces  for  figure  groupings  furnished  by 
different  foreign  countries.  There  are  also  rotundas  in  each  of  the  smaller  pavil- 
ions, where  statuary  and  architectural  specimens  are  grouped.  There  are  eighty 
galleries  in  all  including  the  east  and  west  pavilions.  These  range  from  30  feet 
square  to  36  by  120  feet  for  the  exhibition  of  paintings.  There  are  also  108 
alcoves,  fronting  on  the  court  of  the  central  pavilion.  Twenty-eight  of  these  are 
on  the  first  floor  and  eighty  on  the  second  floor,  and  much  additional  wall  space 
is  gained  by  their  use.  Engravings,  etchings  and  black-and-whites  are  mainly 
upstairs  with  the  water  colors,  and  pastels  are  downstairs  with  the  oils. 

The  lighting  arrangements  are  as  faultless  as  can  be  devised.  All  the  pavil- 
ions, including  rotundas,  courts  and  galleries,  are  lighted  from  above.  The 
modulation  of  natural  light  in  the  daytime  is  simple  and  effective.  The  system 
of  artificial  lighting  at  night  is  in  itself  a  work  of  art.  Myriads  of  incandescent 
lamps  shed  a  mellow  radiance  over  courts  and  galleries.  The  electric  lamps  are 
arranged  in  clusters  above  each  court,  and  also  in  continuous  rows  around  the 
galleries.  The  attractiveness  of  the  art  galleries  at  night  is  one  of  the  features 
of  the  Exposition.

1860,  1886  and  1892,  respectively.  The  first  was  a  policy  with  one  benefit 
and  nine  conditions  and  restrictions;  the  last  was  a  policy  with  twelve 
benefits,  one  condition  and  no  restrictions  whatever. 

If  you  wish  to  know  what  the  twelve  benefits  are  and  how  much 
policies  issued  twenty  years  ago  to  men  at  your  present  age  are  now  return- 
ing in  cash  to  survivors,  send  your  address  and  date  of  birth  to  the  Home 
Office. 

The  Company's  agents  all  carry  copies  of  the  certificate  of  the  Super- 
intendent of  the  Insurance  Department,  State  of  New  York,  showing  that 
the  Company  had  on  hand  January  1,  1893,  assets  ($137,499,198.99)  and 
surplus  ($16,804,948.10)  as  published. 

The  Company's  Charter  authorizes  it  to  grant  annuities,  and  to  receive 
and  execute  trusts.  Its  "Accumulation  Policy  "  is  issued  if  desired,  payable 
in  20,  25  or  30  equal  annual  installments.

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.

DEPARTMENT  D  —  FISH  AND  FISHERIES. 

SOON  after  the  organization  of  this  department  great  interest  was  manifested 
in  this  phase  of  the  Exposition  by  those  engaged  in  fish  culture  in  this  and 
other  countries,  and  by  those  concerned  in  carrying  on  the  commercial  fisheries 
of  the  world.  In  nearly  all  sections  of  this  country  where  fisheries  are  prose- 
cuted committees  were  appointed  to  take  such  measures  as  are  necessary  for 
the  promotion  of  fishery  exhibits.  Many  of  the  State  Fish  Commissions  pre- 
pared displays  illustrative  of  their  functions  and  the  result  of  their  efforts,  while 
in  some  of  the  foreign  countries  special  appropriations  were  made  to  enable  the 
proper  officials  to  prepare  and  bring  to  Chicago  exhibits  of  fisheries  and  fish 
culture. 

The  Fisheries  Department  is  intended  to  admit  of  the  display,  in  the  buildings 
erected  for  the  purpose,  of  materials  and  collections  illustrative  of  the  commer- 


cial fisheries,  fish 
and  scientific  in- 
ing  upon  the  in- 
seas,  lakes  and 
object  and  pur- 
partment  to  illus-

habitants  of  the 
rivers.  It  is  the 
pose  of  this  de- 
bate in  the  fullest 
manner  the  pres- 
the  world's  fish- 
history,  at  least  for 
dred  years.  Shown 
side  are  the  prim- 
appliances  used  by 
and  the  highest 
atus  and  methods

ern  nations  have

etc.  With  these 
eating  birds  and 
come  important  to 
furnishing  sup- 
bait.  Animals  that 
young  and  ma- 
snakes,  lizards, 
frogs  and  other  reptiles,  are  represented. 

For  instance:  Group  38  embraces  ten  classes,  in  which  are  included  mate- 
rials and  apparatus  employed  in  sea  fishing  and  angling.  This  group  contains 
the  history  of  fishing,  fishery  laws  and  legislation,  fishery  commerce,  implements 
used  in  ancient  times,  or  reproductions  of  the  same;  reports  and  literature  upon 
fish  and  fisheries,  as  well  as  statistics.  Gear  used  in  the  trawl,  herring,  long  line, 
hand  line  and  all  modes  or  systems  of  fishing;  lines  and  rigged  gear  are  included 
in  this  group.  Other  classes  of  the  same  group  embrace  all  known  apparatus 
and  appliances  employed  in  the  prosecution  of  the  commercial  sea  fisheries,  and 
also  those  used  by  anglers  in  sport  fishing  for  marine  species.  Vessels  and  boats 
used  for  conducting  fishery  operations  or  for  angling  are  provided  for  in  the 
last  class  of  this  gfroup. 

The  next  group,  No.  39,  comprehends  fresh  water  fishing  and  angling.  Under 
its  several  classes  are  exhibited  nearly  all  of  the  interesting  objects  pertaining  to 
the  gentle  art  of  angling,  although  its  scope  also  embraces  such  apparatus  and 
appliances  as  are  used  in  the  commercial  fisheries  prosecuted  in  fresh  water. 


J.  W.  COLLINS,   CHIEF. 


1012  THE  OFFICIAL  DIRECTORY 

The  products  of  the  fisheries,  the  machinery  and  appliances  used  in  their 
manipulation  or  preparation,  are  classed  in  group  numbered  40.  This  embraces 
models  of  fish-curing  establishments  and  canneries,  as  well  as  methods,  models, 
and  other  forms  for  representing  appliances  for  drying,  curing,  salting,  smoking, 
tinning,  cooking  and  treating  or  preserving  fishery  products. 

Primary  and  secondary  products  of  all  kinds,  as  well  as  tinned  goods,  are 
also  embraced  within  this  group.  Fish  preservatives,  antiseptic  and  otherwise; 
oils  obtained  from  marine  animals;  manures,  guanos,  fertilizers,  as  well  as  other 
classes  of  products,  are  arranged  under  this  group. 

Pearl  shells  from  the  ocean  and  rivers;  mother  of  pearl,  in  the  rough  or 
manufactured;  pearls  as  gems;  sponges,  corals,  and  all  parts  and  products  from 
aquatic  animals,  whether  for  purposes  useful  or  ornamental,  are  embraced  in  this 
group. 

The  mt-ory  of  fish  culture,  and  everything  pertaining  to  the  artificial  propa- 
gation, acclimatization  and  transportation  of  aquatic  animals  are  exhibited  under 
group  41.  This  group  is  very  comprehensive  in  scope,  and  embraces  everything 
appertaining  to  investigations  and  results  of  experiments  in  the  direction  of 
utilizing  the  waters  as  a  means  of  food  supply. 

Approaching  the  Fisheries  Building  from  either  front  one  is  impressed  with 
its  beauty  and  general  grace  of  construction.  The  tall  dome  towers  high  above 
the  gables  of  the  main  structure,  while  the  small  turrets  that  adorn  the  dome  and 
main  entrances  appear  in  pleasing  contrast  with  the  red-tiled  roof,  columns,  and 
arches.  Flanked  on  both  the  east  and  west  by  small  pavilions  and  connecting 
arcades,  the  whole  presents  an  architectural  view  of  great  magnificence.  The 
infinite  detail  of  fishes  and  other  aquatic  animals  with  which  the  columns,  arches 
and  friezes  are  decorated  in  bas-relief,  is  gratifying  to  the  eye,  and  the  skill  and 
ingenuity  displayed  by  the  ornamentation  are  as'remarkable  for  originality  as  for 
fitness. 

Entering  the  building  from  the  north  the  eye  is  immediately  attracted  to  the 
display  of  Mexico  on  the  right  hand.  Passing  to  the  side  aisle  and  turning  to  the 
right  brings  to  full  view  the  Russian  collection,  unique  in  many  ways  and  with 
a  wealth  of  caviare.  The  Norwegians  show  many  kinds  of  sea  fish,  from  the  dry 
cod  of  the  Lofotens  to  the  spiced  anchovies  of  Bergen.  Here  are  also  to  be 
found  a  number  of  full-sized  fishing  boats,  with  their  oars  and  lines.     . 

Mexico,  Russia,  and  Norway  occupy  the  whole  northwestern  quarter  of  the 
Fisheries  Building.  Passing  these  and  crossing  the  aisle  to  the  south  side  the 
first  display  met  is  that  of  Great  Britain,  which  embraces  an  attractive  assort- 
ment of  angling  paraphernalia.  The  display  is  not  large  but  choice.  France, 
Australia,  and  Canada  follow  next  in  order,  and  the  attention  is  arrested  by  the 
fine  group  of  seals  in  the  New  South  Wales  display.  The  full-rigged,  sharp-stern 
fishing  boat,  a  duplicate  of  the  one  presented  to  the  Prince  of  Wales  ten  years 
ago,  occupies  a  conspicuous  position  in  the  Canadian  section.  The  exhibits  of 
Japan  and  the  Netherlands  are  in  the  northeastern  quarter  of  the  building.  Here 
the  odd-shaped  boats,  together  with  implements  and  products  of  the  Japanese 
fisheries,  are  displayed  with  much  taste  in  decorative  effect. 

The  Dutchman  is  present  with  a  beautiful  model  of  a  North  Sea  herring  lug- 
ger, one-seventh  actual  size,  with  a  goodly  assortment,  of  Holland  herring.  In 
the  eastern  pavilion  is  located  the  fresh-water  aquaria.  Leaving  the  aquaria  steps 
are  retraced  to  the  main  building,  through  the  western  arcade  to  the  angling 
pavilion.  Here  is  the  angler's  paradise — an  array  of  rods,  reels,  flies,  hooks, 
landing  nets,  gaffs,  boats,  clothing,  wading  boots,  etc.,  is  presented  in  great  pro- 
fusion. Brazil  has  a  section  in  the  building  where  is  arranged  its  collection  of 
aquatic  fauna,  its  fishing  boats  and  apparatus  of  capture.  A  part  of  the  building 
is  used  by  Pennsylvania  and  Wisconsin,  in  which  is  shown  the  work  accomplished 
in  fish  culture. 

Ten  of  the  individual  States  of  the  Union  show  collective  exhibits  of  the  fish- 
eries of  their  waters.     Another  interesting   feature    is    the   weather-worn  fishing 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  1013 

boat  used  by  the  famous  Ida  Lewis — the  American  Grace  Darling — in  her  heroic 
life-saving  deeds. 

The  Fisheries  Building  is  a  large  central  structure  with  two  smaller  polygonal 
buildings  connected  with  it  on  either  end  by  arcades.  The  extreme  length  of 
the  building  is  1,100  feet,  and  the  width  200  feet.  It  is  located  to  the  northward 
of  the  United  States  Government  Building.  In  the  central  portion  is  the  general 
fisheries  exhibit.  In  one  of  the  polygonal  buildings  is  the  angling  exhibit,  the 
aquarial  and  fish  cultural  displays  of  Pennsylvania  and  Wisconsin;  exhibits  of 
mounted  and  cast  specimens  of  fish  from  Ohio  and  Missouri;  fish  paintings  from 
Vermont  and  the  Hawaiian  islands,  and  the  interesting  collections  from  Brazil 
and  other  countries,  and  the  other  is  devoted  entirely  the  aquaria.  The  exterior 
of  the  building  is  Spanish-Romanesque,  which  contrasts  agreeably  in  appearance 
with  that  of  the  other  buildings.  To  the  close  observer  the  exterior  of  the 
building  can  not  fail  to  be  exceedingly  interesting,  for  the  architect  exerted  all 
his  ingenuity  in  arranging  innumerable  forms  of  capitals,  modillions,  brackets, 
cornices  and  other  ornamental  details,  using  only  fish  and  other  sea  forms  for 
his  motif  of  design.  The  roof  of  the  building  is  of  old  Spanish  tile,  and  the  side 
walls  of  pleasing  color. 

The  total  amount  of  floor  area  in  the  main  building  is  55,536  square  feet;  in 
addition  there  is  a  gallery  thirty  feet  wide,  running  the  entire  length  and  breadth 
of  the  structure,  and  on  both  sides.  The  gallery  space  amounts  to  27,120  square 
feet.  At  the  wall  side  of  the  gallery  floor,  the  gabled  roof  leans  somewhat,  and, 
together  with  the  roof  braces,  affords  pretty  little  booths,  or  bays.  These  bays 
are  considered  the  most  effective  arrangement  of  space  for  exhibits,  and  there- 
fore it  is  a  matter  for  congratulation  that  the  requirements  of  construction  do  not 
in  any  manner  conflict  with  the  needs  of  the  exhibitor. 

In  the  center  of  the  polygonal  building  is  a  rotunda  sixty  feet  in  diameter, 
in  the  middle  of  which  is  a  basin  or  pool  twenty-six  feet  wide,  from  which  rises 
a  towering  mass  of  rocks,  covered  with  moss  and  lichens.  From  clefts  and 
crevices  in  the  rock  crystal  streams  of  water  gush  and  drop  to  the  masses  of  reeds, 
rushes  and  ornamental  semi-aquatic  plants  in  the  basin  below.  In  this  pool  gor- 
geous gold  fishes,  golden  ides,  golden  tench  and  other  fishes  disport  From  the 
rotunda  one  side  of  the  larger  series  of  aquaria  may  be  viewed.  These  are  ten  in 
number,  and  have  a  capacity  of  7,000  to  27,000  gallons  of  water  each.  Passing 
out  of  the  rotunda,  a  great  corridor  or  arcade  is  reached,  where  on  one  hand  can 
be  viewed  the  opposite  side  of  the  series  of  great  tanks,  and  on  the  other  a  line 
of  tanks  somewhat  smaller,  ranging  from  750  to  1,500  gallons  each  in  capacity. 
The  corridor  or  arcade  is  about  fifteen  feet  wide  The  glass  fronts  of  the  aquaria  are 
in  length  about  575  feet  and  have  3,000  square  feet  of  surface.  The  total  water 
capacity  of  the  aquaria,  exclusive  of  reservoirs,  is  18,725  cubic  feet,  or  140,000 
gallons.  This  weighs  1,192,425  pounds,  or  almost  600  tons.  Of  this  amount 
about  40,000  gallons  is  devoted  to  the  marine  exhibit.  In  the  entire  salt-water 
circulation,  including  reservoirs,  there  are  about  70,000  gallons.  The  pumping 
and  distributing  plant  for  the  marine  aquaria  is  constructed  of  vulcanite.  The 
pumps  are  in  duplicate,  and  each  has  a  capacity  of  3,000  gallons  per  hour. 

The  government  aquaria  in  the  annex  of  the  Fisheries  Building  have  been 
converted  into  picturesque  combinations  of  water  and  rock,  where  live  fish  are 
made  to  feel  quite  at  home  in  congenial  surroundings.  In  these  aquaria  trout, 
carp,  golden  ides,  and  gold  fish  disport.  United  States  Fish  Commissioner  Mc- 
Donald in  speaking  of  the  government  exhibit  said: 

For  three  months  we  experimented  with  evaporating  sea  water  and  using  the  material  for 
shipment  to  Chicago  in  order  to  avoid  sending  water  so  far  inland.  For  some  mysterious  reason 
the  revamped  sea  water  we  thus  obtained  would  not  do,  and  the  fish  died.  We  have  found  that 
by  mixing  a  brine  made  from  Turks'  Island  salt  with  natural  sea  water,  half  and  half,  fish  got 
along  nicely  in  the  combination.  This  is  what  we  use  in  the  aquaria.  In  all  we  have  about 
70,000  gallons  of  sea  water  for  the  salt  water  fish.  As  it  is  something  we  can  not  afford  to  waste, 
pur  arrangements  for  its  purification  are  complete.  It  is  conducted  from  the  aquaria  in  rubber 
tubes  to  the  filter,  which  is  located  in  the  cellar.  This  consists  of  stone,  gravel,  and  sand  made 
68 


1014  THE  OFFICIAL' DIRECTORY 

in  strata,  as  in  natural  soil.  The  water  comes  from  the  aquaria  into  the  top  of  the  filter  and  is 
drawn  off  from  the  bottom  after  it  percolates  through  the  sand  and  gravel.  It  then  runs  off  into  a 
cistern  with  a  capacity  of  60,000  gallons.  A  duplicate  set  of  pumps,  run  by  electric  dynamos,  drives 
the  water  again  to  the  reservoir  in  the  top  of  the  building.  From  there  it  runs  back  into  the 
aquaria,  entering  through  a  jet  just  above  the  surface.  The  entering  stream  carries  enough  air  with 
it  to  aerate  the  water  and  give  the  fish  air.  In  the  filter  the  top  layer  of  sand  will  be  changed  fre- 
quently. With  our  fresh  water  fish  lake  water  will  do  fairly  well.  It  is  not  elear  enough  and 
must  be  filtered  carefully.     No  attempt  will  be  made  to  save  it  as  with  sea  water. 

The  government  aquaria  are  in  a  circular  building  nearly  ioo  feet  in  diameter. 
A  row  of  aquaria  lines  the  outer  walls  with  the  space  broken  only  at  the  doors. 
The  effect  as  one  passes  through  the  aisle  is  as  if  he  were  walking  on  the  bottom 
of  a  lake  with  the  waters  held  back  by  a  heavy  plate  glass.  The  inner  row  of 
aquaria  is  12  feet  wide  and  in  the  center  of  the  building  a  mound  of  aquatic  and 
semi-aquatic  plants. 

On  the  inner  row  is  the  big  aquarium  for  the  Mississippi  river.  It  is  72  feet 
long,  12  feet  wide,  and  5  feet  deep.  A  submerged  bank,  such  as  is  so  often 
seen  in  western^rivers,  rises  from  the  bottom  of  sand  and  gravel.  Nearly  every 
variety  of  fish  found  in  the  Mississippi  valley  is  there.  Catfish,  eighty  pounds  in 
weight  and  seven  inches  between  the  eyes,  and  sturgeon,  five,  six,  and  seven  feet 
long,  are  in  the  aggregation,  with  pickerel,  outclassing  the  record,  for  company. 
A  series  of  aquaria,  showing  all  varieties  of  trout  and  salmon,  extends  along  the 
south  side  of  the  building. 

The  fish  from  the  great  lakes  have  been  gathered  at  the  Put-in  Bay  Station 
on  Lake  Erie,  and  include  sturgeon,  whitefish,  perch,  bass,  and  herring,  as  the 
leading  varieties.  There  are  100  varieties  of  fish  and  as  many  species  of  in- 
vertebrates. 

In  June  the  government  fish  car  will  be  sent  to  Seattle,  Wash.,  and  will  bring 
as  good  a  showing  of  Pacific  coast  fish  as  can  be  carried  so  far  in  the  car.  The 
main  varieties  will  be  the  Chinook  and  steelhead  salmon  and  the  varied  trouts  of 
the  West.  There  is  in  reality  little  difference  between  the  leading  varieties  of 
the  two  coasts. 

Until  the  natural  warmth  of  the  water  here  reaches  60  degrees  no  fish  will 
be  brought  from  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  In  midsummer  the  trouble  will  be  that  the 
water  will  be  too  warm,  and  articificial  means  of  cooling  it  will  be  used.  Many 
salt-water  varieties  do  not  live  long  in  aquaria,  even  under  the  most  favorable 
conditions,  and  these  must  be  replenished  by  new  shipments  during  the  progress 
of  the  Exposition. 

Next  to  the  west  door  of  the  annex  is  an  aquarium  radiant  with  bright  colors 
of  anemones,  growing  over  the  grottoes.  Algae  of  every  line  grow  there.  It  is 
likewise  the  home  of  star  fish  and  sea  urchins.  The  microscopic  algae,  which  are 
propagated  as  food  for  the  anemones,  prevent  the  water  being  drawn  off  to  put 
through  the  filter.  To  aerate  it  an  automatic  contrivance  is  used  which  forces 
the  air  into  the  bottom  of  the  aquarium,  it  passing  through  the  water  in  small 
bubbles.

KEY  TO  INSTALLATION. 


The  design  of  the  Fish  and  Fisheries  Building  differs  from  that  of  all 
the  other  department  buildings,  the  main  structure  being  circular  in  form 
and  ornamented  with  two  wings  known  as  polygonal  buildings.  The 
ground  floor  of  the  central  building  is  laid  off  into  spaces  for  exhibits,  indi- 
cated by  numbers  and  the  cross  sections  lettered,  which  by  tracing  the  lines 
from  the  letter  to  the  number,  as  for  instance,  A-4,  will  be  easily  found.  By 
referring  to  the  name  of  the  exhibitor,  or  the  name  of  the  country  or  State, 
and  then  looking  on  the  diagram  the  space  occupied  by  the  exhibit  is  in- 
dicated.

and  America  and,  in  the  case  of  modern  work,  to  the  hearty  co-operation  of  the  artists 
themselves. 

Owing  to  the  limitations  of  space  it  has  been  found  impossible,  even  were  it  desira- 
ble, to  represent  all  who  have  of  late  years,  worked  with  the  etching  needle,  but  sufficient 
is  shown  to  exemplify  the  schools  of  France,  England  and  America  at  their  best. 

Until  comparatively  recent  years  a  woman  engraver  was  the  exception  and  though 
we  find  scattered  through  the  three  hundred  years  that  have  elapsed  since  the  birth  of  the 
art,  a  fair  number  of  women  who  have  distinguished  themselves  in  engraving,  they  are 
there  rather  through  the  force  of  their  own  individuality  than  from  any  general  tendency 
toward  a  recognition  of  the  equality  of  the  sexes. 

Doubtless  strong  opposition  was  at  first  to  be  overcome,  but  prejudice  has  lessened 
year  by  year  until  now  the  pictures  by  women  are  admitted  to  our  public  exhibitions  on 
exactly  the  same  basis  as  those  executed  by  men,  solely  on  their  merits. 

It  is  on  this  footing  that  the  present  exhibition  should  be  judged. 

In  America  not  only  have  women  established  their  right  to  an  equal  hearing  with 
their  male  co-workers  in  the  graphic  arts,  but  in  etching  they  can  lay  claim  to  at  least  three 
whose  rank  is  of  the  highest,  while  in  the  field  of  wood  engraving  such  good  work  has  been 
done  that  it  seems  impossible  for  technical  excellence  to  surpass  it.

"Another  attractive  work  is  'The  Road

theme — merely  a  stretch  of  low  coast 
land  with  a  few  scattered  shrubs  and 
a  wide  road  stretching  away  toward 
the  slightly-lifted  horizon  line.  But 
a  great  deal  has  been  told  for  this 
simplicity.  The  very  spirit  of  such  a 
scene  is  caught  and  given.  Even 
without  the  title  we  should  know  that

DEPARTMENT  M.— ETHNOLOGY. 

THIS  department,  although  generally  known  as'  that  of  Ethnology,  includes 
the  several  groups  of  ethnology,  archaeology,  anthropological  laboratory, 
history  and  natural  history  of  which  the  general  exhibits  are  in  the  Anthropolog- 
ical Building;  also  the  Latin  American  exhibit — the  special  exhibit  of  the  relics 
of  the  time  of  Columbus  arranged  in  the  Convent  of  La  Rabida;  the  reproductions 
of  the  ancient  ruins  of  Yucatan  on  the  grounds  immediately  north  of  the 
Anthropological  Building;  and  the  ethnographical  exhibition  of  native  people 
of  America,  who  are  living  in  their  native  habitations  on  the  stretch  of  land 
along  the  eastern  side  of  the  south  pond  between  the  Anthropological  Building 
and  the  Indian  school-house.  Just  north  of  the  Indian  school-house  is  the-Con- 
vent  of  La  Rabida,  and  near  it  is  the  log  house  of  pioneer  times,  which  belongs 
to  the  historical  section  of  the  department.  The  Anthropological  Building  was 
the  last  of  the  Exposition  buildings  to  be  constructed,  when  it  was  found  to  be 
necessary  to  obtain  more  space  for  the  section  of  education  in  the  Manufactures

central  group  in  the  hall.  On  the  right  of  this  is  the  French  exhibit,  and  beyond 
that  is  the  exhibit  from  the  Spanish  Government  containing  many  groups  brought 
directly  from  the  Madrid  Exposition.  To  the  right  of  Spain's  court  are  several 
groups  of  objects  from  the  museums  of  Vienna  and  Berlin,  and  also  the  Russian 
exhibit.  Passing  northward  from  these  exhibits  along  the  western  side  of  the 
building  axe  several  small  exhibits  from  Asia  and  Africa.  Following  along  the 
side  aisle  to  the-  north  is  the  large  and  interesting  exhibit  from  New  South  Wales. 
Then  come  the  several  lots  of  objects  from  the  Pacific  islands  which  lead  to  the 
special    collections    made  by  the    department    illustrating   the  ethnology  of  the

northwestern  coast  of  America — the  Queen  Charlotte  islands,  Vancouver,  etc. 
Of  particular  interest  here  is  the  complete  model  of  the  village  of  Skidegate 
with  all  its  houses  and  totem  poles.  Crossing  the  main  aisle,  the  next  division 
is  that  of  the  Indians  of  North  America,  which  contains  several  collections  illus- 
trating the  habits  and  customs  of  the  Indians.  Next  to  this  are  the  archaeologi- 
cal and  ethnological  collections  forming  the  Canadian  exhibit;  southward  along 
the  eastern  side  of  the  building  are  the  State  collections  of  New  York,  Indiana, 
Ohio,  Wisconsin,  Missouri,  Colorado,  Utah  and  of  'the  Hemenway  southwestern 
expedition  and  various  other  exhibits,  particularly  those  from  Ohio  and  the  Del- 
aware valleys  made  by  the  department.  Then  come  the  large  and  important 
exhibits  from  Mexico  and  the  several  republics  of  Central  America.  In  these 
exhibits  are  some  of  the  most  interesting  objects  in  the  building.  The  collection  of 
singular  sculptures  and  strange  tablets  of  hieroglyphs  here  combined  has  never 
been  equaled;  a  mass  of  material  has  here  been  brought  together  which  gives 
the  student  the  long  wished  for  opportunity  for  comparative  study  of  this  remark- 
able phase  of  early  American  culture.  South  of  these  exhibits  are  those  from 
South  America,  which  include  the  collections  secured  from  the  extensive  explo- 
rations by  the  department  in  Ecuador,  Chili,  Peru  and  Bolivia, ^illustrating  the 
arts  and  customs  of  the  ancient  people  of  those  countries  and  also  the  customs 
and  arts  of  many  of  the  present  tribes  of  the  interior.  There  are  also  large  and 
interesting  ethnological  exhibits  sent  by  the  Governments  of  British  Guiana, 
Paraguay,  Brazil  and  the  Argentine  Republic,  illustrating  the  native  people  of 
these  countries.  These  various  exhibits  are  followed  by  a  series  of  cases 
stretching  entirely  across  the  building  which  contain  the  special  exhibit  of  the 
section  of  folk-lore,  religions  and  games  of  all  countries.  Ascending  to  the  gal- 
lery, the  visitor  will  find  the  several  offices  of  the  department  in  the  north-west- 
ern corner,  and  a  work-room  and  committee  room  on  the  western  side.  Between 
these  rooms  and  occupying  the  whole  northern-  gallery  are  the  series  of  alcoves 
forming  the  anthropological  laboratories.  In  these  can  be  seen  a  large  collec- 
tion of  instruments  and  apparatus,  received  from  the  more  important  anthropo- 
logical laboratories  of  the  universities  in  this  country  and  from  several  in  Europe, 
with  a  very  extensive  series  of 'apparatus  from  the  principal  makers  in  Europe 
made  especially  for  this  exhibit.  The  laboratories  are  divided  into  three  sec- 
tions— Physical  Anthropology,  Neurology  and  Psychology.  In  these  labora- 
tories the  practical  working  of  the  apparatus  is  shown  and  any  one  who  wishes 
can  have,  by  the  payment  of  a  small  fee,  various  tests  applied  and  can  be  meas- 
ured and  recorded  upon  cards  which  are  given  to  the  person,  while  the  record  is 
made  upon  the  charts  and  tables  hanging  on  the  walls  of  the  laboratory  to  illus- 
trate the  various  subjects.  Here,  too,  are  a  series  of  skulls  and  skeletons  and 
various  models  showing  the  physical  characteristics  of  the  various  races  and 
varieties  of  man.  An  interesting  series  of  charts  in  the  Physical  Anthropologi- 
cal section  is  that  illustrating  the  development  of  over  50,000  school  children  in 
various  cities  of  North  America;  while  another  series  of  diagrams  and  maps  shows 
the  physical  characteristics  of  the  Indians  of  North  America,  as  derived  from 
measurements  and  observations  upon  nearly  20,000  Indians,  recorded  by  about 
seventy-five  special  assistants  of  the  department,  who  were  engaged  for  nearly 
two  years  in  this  work.  On  the  western  gallery  are  the  several  historical  collec- 
tions in  which  are  many  interesting  objects.  The  largest  of  these  is  the  exhibit 
of  the  State  of  Ohio.  Here,  also,  are  the  exhibits  of  postage  stamps  and  coins. 
Following  these  are  several  special  exhibits,  including  those  of  taxidermists' 
and  naturalists'  supplies.  Extending  the  whole  length  of  the  southern  gallery 
is  the  exhibit  of  Ward's  Natural  Science  Establishment  of  Rochester,  New 
York.  This  is  a  perfect  museum  of  natural  history  and  in  it  one  sees  all  forms 
of  animal , life  from  the  sponges  to  man,  all  admirably  classified  and  arranged. 
On  the  eastern  gallery  are  many  exhibits  of  natural  history.  Particularly  notice- 
able arcthose  of  the  States  of  Maine,  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  Indiana,  Ohio, 
Missouri,    North    Dakota  and    Colorado,  which   contain  representatives  of  the 


WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  1093 

birds,  mammals,  fresh  water  and  land  shells  and  fossils  of  the  various  States. 
The  exhibit  of  Agassiz  Association  is  also  on  this  gallery  and  gives  a  very  inter- 
esting illustration  of  the  work  and  high  aims  of  this  important  association  in 
increasing  the  love  for  natural  history  studies. 

The  exhibit  of  the  Latin  American  bureau  is  made  in  the  Anthropological 
Hall  by  the  Bureau  of  American  Republics  under  the  supervision  of  the  State 
Department  of  the  United  States.  The  condition,  the  geographical  knowledge 
and  science  of  navigation  at  the  time  Columbus  undertook  his  trip,  are  shown 
by  archaeological  collections.  The  life  and  history  of  Columbus  are  taken  up 
and  followed  to  his  grave  by  a  series  of  illustrations,  in  which  every  country  is 
shown.  Photographs  of  Watlings  island  and  every  place  visited  by  Columbus 
in  America  and  every  place  identified  with  him  in  Spain,  are  exhibited.  The 
armor  and  equipment  which  were  worn  by  his  men;  a  collection  of  articles  such 
as  he  used  in  trading  with  the  Indians;  how  the  Indians  were  overcome  and  how 
they  defended  themselves;  fragments  of  the  first  civilized  settlement  in  America 
brought  from  Santo  Domingo,  down  to  the  present  day  in  Latin  America,  are  all 
properly  grouped  and  shown.

the  vessel  exhumed  in  1880  from  a  mound

tiania  and  known  as  the  Gogstad-ship.  In 
a  sepulchre  built  in  the  vessel  were  found 


human  remains,  and  it  is  supposed  by

with  its  Viking-chief  in  the  mound,  about

WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION.  1117 


DEPARTMENT  C— LIVE  STOCK. 

AMPLE  preparations  have  been  made  to  care  for  the  Live  Stock  interests  at 
the  Exposition.  A  premium  list  appropriating  $150,000  has  been  prepared, 
and  a  number  of  the  Live  Stock  associations  have  offered  supplemental  premi- 
ums for  respective  breeds,  ranging  from  $200  to  $10,000  each.  Reports  from 
foreign  countries  render  certain  that  the  exhibit  will  bring  together  the  most 
remarkable  collection  of  pure  bred  animals  ever  witnessed  in  the  history  oiexpo- 
sitions.  The  exhibit  will  also  comprise  specimens  of  wild  animals,  song  birds, 
and  birds  of  plumage  from  this  country  and  from  abroad. 

The  Live  Stock  exhibit  will  open  in  June,  with  a  kennel  show,  lasting  six 
days,  followed  in  August,  September  and  October  by.  the  exhibition  of  horses, 
cattle,  sheep,  swine,  poultry,  pigeons,  etc.  While  care  will  be  taken  to  secure 
specimens  of  the  best  established  breeds,  the  rules  are  sufficiently  liberal  to  per- 
mit the  entry  of  animals  from  every  part  of  the  world  which  have  such  charac- 
teristics as  to  make  them  objects  of  interest  to  visitors.  The  liberal  money  pre- 
miums, besides  the  medals  and  diplomas  to  be  awarded,  have  stimulated  a- wide- 
spread interest  in  this  exhibit. 

The  Live  Stock  Pavilion*  is  located  at  the  rear  of  the  colonnade  which 
connects  the  Machinery  Hall  with  the  Agricultural  Building,  the  large  arch  in 
the  center  of  the  colonnade  being  the  main  approach  to  this  pavilion.  The 
extreme  measurements  of  the  pavilion  are  300x440  feet,  it,  therefore,  covers  an 
area  of  over  three  acres.  The  general  arrangement  of  this  magnificent  pavilion 
is  the  same  as  the  ever  famous  Colosseum  at  Rome,  the  architecture  of  the  former 
being  Romanesque  and  the  latter  purely  classic  of  the  Doric  order.  There  is  very 
little  ornament  on  this  building  save  the  balustrade  which  tops  the  cornice.  The 
building  is  constructed  of  frame  work  covered  with  staff.  The  contracts  were  let 
for  the  entire  building  at  $50,000.  The  seating  capacity  is  6,000.  The  center  is 
used  as  a  large  arena  for  the  purpose  of  parading  live  stock,  and  on  certain  days 
when  not  used  for  this  purpose,  will  be  used  by  the  North-American  Turner-Bund 
for  exhibitions.  Under  the  amphitheatre  are  the  offices 'of  the  different  bureaus 
pertaining  to  the  department  and  also  offices  for  the  different  live  stock  associa- 
tions, the  National  Grange,  the  National  Farmers'  Alliance,  etc. 

This  department  was  placed  under  the  charge  of  Chief  Buchanan,  of  the 
Department  of  Agriculture,  and  under  his  supervision  the  work  has  been  carried 
on  all. over  the  world,  but  principally  in  the  United  States.  Horses  and  sheep 
will  be  shown  from  France,  horses  from  Russia,  sheep  from  Australia,  and  all 
kinds  of  live  stock  from  Canada  and  nearly  every  state  in  the  United  States. 

The  superintendent  of  the  kennel  division  is  James  Mortimer,  of  Long 
Island;  superintendent  of  sheep  division,  A.  M.  Garland,  of  Illinois;  superin- 
tendent of  cattle  division,  J.  B.  Dinsmore,  of  Nebraska.  Superintendents  of  the 
horse,  poultry  and  swine  divisions  are  yet  to  be  appointed, 

The  Kennel  Exhibit  begins  June  12th  and  lasts  six  days. 

The  exhibit  of  horses  and  cattle  begins  August  21st  and  lasts  one  month. 

The  exhibit  of  sheep  and  swine  begins  September  25th  and  lasts  till 
October  14th. 

The  exhibit  of  poultry  and  fat  stock  begins  October  16th  and  lasts  till 
October  28th.
