bb THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES. IN OLD SALEM A Visit to Some of the Haunts of Haw- thorne. The Home Where the Great Novelist Was Born—The Soldiers’ Home ' in Chelsea, Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHELSEA, April 22, 1895. For one who is interested in past asso- ¢iations the city of Salem offers an in- teresting field of study. The quaint, old houses, with their lean-to roofs and gables, are a remnant of those old days of the whipping post, the pillory and the stocks, when a too free use of that unruly mem- ber, the tonguz, brought a swift retribu- tion. Some of these houses are tottering to cne side, others have been given an aspect of youthfulness by adding a modern bay window, but it fs like fastening a false front to an old lady's coiffure and detracts from the charm. One can understand more plainly the wierd mysticism of Hawthorne's sketches when one visits his haunts and breathes the atmosphere in which these fantasies were wrought. Some of the old houses served as a background for his romances; among these, the “House of the Seven Gabies,"” where he used to take tea with Miss Ingersoll and the old Charten street burying ground, which is pictured in “Dr. Grimshawe'’s Secret.” Hawthorne’s birth- place is, of course, an object of interest, and tourists-come at all seasons of the year to gaze upon it. A signboard is erected at the corner of the street, and it seems strange the au- thorities do not take possession instead of: renting it an a tenement, for it is quite Weather-worn now, and, although a twenty- five-cont fee is charged for showing you thé interior, the furnishings are all mod- ern and not worth the inspection. Everywhere are antique shops to attract ‘the relic hunter. The proprietor of one of these informed me, when she found I was from Washington, “that I need not have come north for antiques, as much of their stock was brought from Virginia and sold as New England commodities,” but in the Essex Institute you can find real heirlooms, descended from the aristocracy of the past. Here you will see the old-fashioned loom, flax-court, quilting frame, winnowing bask- et, wool wheel, tinder box, foot stone, werming pan, tin kitchen and candle mold. Some Historical Relics. Beside these there are historical relics, such @s a paperweight, uséd by Charles Dickens, an inkstand of Wadsworth, pens ef Andrew Jackson and Henry Ciay, a piece of the chair in which Wm. Penn sat when he made the treaty with the Indians, a tassel from the bed of Napoleon at Saint Helena. the lock of a room in which Jeffer- son wrote the Declaration of Independence, the table on which Moll Pitcher told for- tunes, the baptismal shirt and christening Llanket of Gov. Bradford, and some of the tea from the lot thrown into Boston har- bor December 16, 1773, found in the shoes of Lot Cheever on removing his disguise. From the tea it is a natural sequence to wander to North bridge, where the first armed resistance in the revolution took place. A tablet is erected, stating that Col. Leslie and his troops were stopped here by a small body of men and forced to retreat. But to “let tu» dead past bury its dead” and come to the living present. Chelsea might not be classed in that category, for it is a well-known saying—‘“As dead as Chelsea!"—but any city is apt to suffer from such close rivalry with a large. busi- ness center. Chelsea has held at least one very lively inhabitant in the person of Benjamin Shillaber, “Mrs. Partington,” who always resided here. It is the irony of fate that he who brought smiles to so many should have died in poverty. In Chelsea is the highest point in the vicinity. This is an eminence, 200 feet high, named Powderhorn Hill. You have to climb 44 steps to reach the summit, but it is well worth the climb. On a clear day the view is magnificent—inlets and creeks, with the Mystic ard Charies beyond, masts and full sails jotting the harbor, and, as far as the eye can see, myriads of roofs and chimne: tops that represent the ocean of humanity below. There are several legends connected with the name, the two most accepted being that powder was buried in this hill to keep it from the British, and another that an Indian sold this tract of land for a horn of powder. The last seems the favorite, perkaps, owing to the Indian's well -known love of barter. "At the Soldicrs* Home. The soldiers’ home for the state of Mas- sachusetts is Iccated here.

My guide calléd attention to the hose and fire escapes, say- ing there had never been occasion to use them. The day following my visit, how- ever, a stone house connected with the home and containing provisions and wear- ing apparel was burned. ‘The soldiers are employed about the place. Some have charge of the provisions, others tend the machinery and the grounds, and still others are painters and carpenters. They come and go as they find employ- ment, and the dormitories are far from filled at present. 1 service in honor of Frederick s held in the A. M. E. Church in Chelsea not long ago. Rev. W. H.

F. Smith, the author of America, whom the whole coun- try has ef late been honoring. He took up his residence there as long ago as when the stage coach was our only means of conveyance. Now it ts quite a thriving suburb. A volume of Dr. Smith’s poems is soon to be edited. This month, too, com- * memorated the seventy-third anniversary of Rev. Edward E. Hale’s birth. There was quite a reception in the parlors of his church ‘on Exeter street, where he _ re- ceived the hearty congratulations of his parishioners and friends. He has just re- turned from a trip to the south and he comes back to Boston with a new lease of that wonderful vitality that earned him the title of “living dynamo,” bestowed upon him by our loved poet, Oliver Wendall Holmes.

Members of the Marine Band Make Complaints About Their Treatment. Confiicting reports have come to Wash- ington concerning the experiences of the Marine Band in the south. A statement Published last week, besed on a letter re- ceived here from a member of the band, to the effect that the organization had been stranded in Texas, was promptly denied by officers of the mariné corps here. Other reports have since come, indicating that there is considerable dissatisfaction among members of the organization, some of whom have complained of not receiving their money. Families of bandsmen here have, it is asserted, suffered deprivations because no money was forthcomirg from the wan- dering musicians. . A Star reporter had a talk this morning with Samuel Argall, a member of the band, who left the organization at New Orleans. Argall reported in Washington the 17th in- stunt, and, his time having expired on the 8d, was given an honorable discharge. In speaking of the tour through the south he said: “Before starting on this tmp Prof. Fanciulli assured us that the backer of the enterprise, Lieut. Radford, U.S.N., was fully prepared to pay all the expenses of the band, and that the man- ager, Mr. Blakenship, formerly of the navy, would see to it that the musicians recetved full pay while away from home. There were fifty-one men on the trip, in- cluding the three extra musicians from New York. Everything went fairly well until we reached Augusta, on the Ist of the moath, when only twenty-two men were paid off; the others, however, received their pay the next day. During the follow- ing week we played all of our engagements to small audiences. “At the end of the week nothing was said about salaries, but on arriving at Birming- ham on the 9th the manager addressed the men in. the parlor of the hotel and told them that the tour could not be continued unless the men were. willing to accept half pay from the- second week. The leader then spoke, saying that he was in favor of continuing under half pay because we would be liadle to ridicule from Washing- ton musicians if we returned before sched- ule time. Several of the men then advised that the manager send half of the band to Washington and ccntinue with the others, but Fanciulli reprimanded them for making such a ‘foolish’ suggestion, as he termed it. A ballot was then taken and, fearing the consequences of the leader’s wrath, the whole party contracted to play out the re- mainder of the trip for half pay. “We played at Selma the next afternoon and at Montgomery the next evening. In the meantime Blakenship had telegraphed to Washington for money, and the next day, at Mobile, the full band received half pay. We arrived in New Orleans on Good Friday and our performances there were very well attended. On arriving there I received a dispatch saying that my wife was dangerously ill and that I had better return to Washington. I had no money and asked the leader if I could obtain what money the band owed me. He said he had nothing to do with it, and referred me to the manager. The latter could do nothing for me, and in the pres- ence of quite a number of the men said: ‘I have been trying to act square with you, but I have been handicapped.’ I telegraphed to Col. Haywood for transportation, telling him my condi- tion, but, receiving no answer, Mon- day evening I borrowed $27.50 and departed for Washington without reporting to the drum major. He reported me at headquar- ters, and that is very probably the reason for the newspapers saying there was one deserter from the band. My time was out on the 3d, so I applied for and received an henorable discharge, with 1n excellent record.”” Since arriving home Mr. Argall has received quite a number of letters from his fellow players, beseeching him to inform the commandant or the Sec- retary of the Navy of the treatment of the men. “Why,” said Mr. Argall, “last Sunday, one of my friends writes me, the men were sent to bed without any supper, and sev- eral of the men have no shoes good enough to wear cn the stage.” One of the letters received, in addition to other charges, reads: “For God’s sake, and the sake of your unfortunate friends in the band, go to the colonel and tell him how our leader is acting and how we have suffered for want of regular meals and proper sleeping accommodations on the road.” Mr. Argall has visited the barracks for the purpose of showing the colonel these letters, but so far has failed to get an in- terview. He’ will go to Secretary McAdoo temorrow or next day. —_. HE ADJOURNED THE MEETING. Carson Wanted an Adjourn- ment and He Got It. : About half a hundred men and a dozen women journeyed through the pouring rain last evening to the Metropolitan Bap- tist Church in: response to a call for a mass meeting to consider the advisability of taking further action in the matter of the shooting of Reuben Foster, colored, by Policeman Green in Anacostia several weeks ago. The meeting was to have been held under the auspices of the Citizens’ Protective Association, of which Perry H. Carson is the president, and it was an- nounced that the report of the committee which some time ago, headed by Perry Carson, visited the Commisstoners and ask- ed for the removal of Green from the force, would be received and further action in the matter advised. The clock on the rear wall of the church marked 8:40 o'clock when Mr. Carson, in company with Rev. Mr. Lee, Rev. Walter H. Brooks and several others, entered the bedy of the church from a side room. When the applause which greeted the en- trance of the party had subsided, Mr. Car- son requested the gathering to come to or- der, and then explained that Mr. Scott, cus- todiaf of the report of the committee, had failed to. put in an appearance; likewise the report. Although a number of those pres- ent had covered quite a distance to reach the church, several being residents of Ana- costia, still, said Mr. Carson, in view of the small attendance and the absence of the report, he was in favor of adjourning the meeting. An individval hereupon arose from a rear seat and declared that a small number of determined persons could transact an equally great amount of business as a vast concourse, and he urged that the meeting continue. Several others attempt- ed to speak, but Mr. Carson silenced them by requesting that a motion to adjourn un- til next Monday evening be made.. After some delay the motion was made, and then another interval ensued before a second was secured. “All in favor of adjourning say ‘aye,’” said the chairman. The “ayes” were decidedly faint, but when the opposite of the question was put there was a robust response. Mr. Carson paid no heed to the vote, but went on to say that it was not the inten- tion to abandon the meeting, but merely to continue it in a few days under more favorable circumstances. “J mean to hold these pectings right along,” he said; “every week, if necessary, and we'll come. together again this night one year from now if we haven't secured our rights by that time, All those in favor of adjourning will rise.” Eleven persons assumed tions. 5 ‘Be seated,” continued the chairman. “Those who want to go on with the mect- ing stand up.” Thirty-nine men arose. But this fact did not affect the chairman. He calmly an- nounced that the meeting stood adjourned until Monday next at 8 o'clock inthe same church. Those assembled were forced fo accept the ultimatum and slowly dis- persed. Perry upright posi- — Applied for Habeas Corpus. Counsel for William Belt, now under sen- tence of three years’ imprisonment for petit larceny, second offense, in the District of Columbia, have applied to the, United States Supreme Court for ieave to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in his case. Belt, on his first conviction, waived trial by jury, and counsel claims that he could not do this, and that the conviction was void. If so, he was not subject to the statute on his second conviction. It is said that a score or more of prisoners now serv- ing terms of imprisonment under like con- ditions will be affected by the decision in this case. —_—_—_.__ Want a Male Teacher.

ITHE PINGREE PLAN Edward’ Everett Hale It Dr. Indorses How the Poor Had Enough to Eat or to Sell for Good Silver Money to Put in the Bank. From the Boston Commonwealth. ; To the horror of the scientific philan- thropists, and to the amazement and indig- nation of the political economists,’ Mayor Pingree of Detroit has succeeded in’ what people begin to call the “potato plan.” This means that the mayor had the sense to see that the good God, in His arrangements for feeding ‘people, requests, not to say re- quires them, to put into the ground certain seeds, for which he prepares such a har- vest that the man who does his duty by these seeds receives ten-fold, thirty-fold, sixty-fold, or in some cases a hundred-fold. This rate of increase is such that even the boldest usurer is staggered when Le is told that it is possible, as he occasionally reads some ancient Scripture. And the hab- it of the philanthropists and the political economists, aud other people who work by book-ridden systems, is to show that it {3 idle to try any such experiment now. The habit is to say that the raising of food had better be relegated to a small section of the community, and that for the rest certain artificial employments had better be provided, such as insuring the lives of their fellow men, or sweeping out officess or scrubbing floors, or possibly building aparment houses sixteen stories high, be- cause their ancestors or somebody's ances- tors happened to have orchards in certain situations in Boston or in New York. In face of all this theory, which may be found in five hundred books published with- in the last fifty years, the mayor of De- troit said squarely. last spring, to every unemployed man who asked him for work: “Go to, here is a half-acre of land; here are certain potatoes, with eyes in them; here is a hoe. With the hoe scratch the land. Jn the hole you have made place a piece of a potato with one eye. God will send rain, God will send sunshine, and at the end of this year you will have many ore potatoes than I have given you to put Strange to say, the result followed as the mayor of Detroit said. The conditions of society were such that nobody in De- trolt wanted to purchase these lots of land as the summer went by, and at the end of the summer the various unemployed peo- ple who had come to him found themselves the proprietors of enough potatoes, say, for their families to live on through the winter, or for them to carry into the potato market and sell for good silver money, which they put into the savings’ bank and with which they were credited as if it had been gold. There is nothing like a concrete lesson in visible affairs; the modern fashion ts to call it an object lesson. People who belleve in the books of political economy, looked up- on the bags of potatces which the tramps carried home on their shoulders somewhat as the Pharisees and Sadducees looked upon miracles. There never had been a miracle, there never could be a miracle, and they did not mean that there should be a miracle; but all the same the lame man stood up and took his bed on his shoulders and waiked. The economists and philoso- phers did not believe that anybody could put seed into the ground and get harvests from it, excepting under the rules of polit- ical economy. But all the same, these De- treit tramps had something to eat in the winter, without going round to the office of the overseers of the poor. . The result is that the experiment is to be tried nearer home. In the city of New York arrangenients are being made al- ready, by which the lands which are wait- ing for people to give a hundred dollars a square foot for them may be utilized this summer in as simple enterprises as those which Mayor Pingree set on foot. While we are waiting for Henry George and Mr. Garrison and other people to show us how these lands ought to be held, arrangements are in progress that they shall be made of use for the present summer, in receiving the dews of heaven and the sunshine of heaven upon certain germs of potatoes, which are to be placed In them for trial. What will probably happen will be that a great many good fellows, some boys and perhaps scme girls, may contract an inter- est in the business of agriculture, which in our elegant high civilization, involving many life policies and insurance agents and sixteen-story tenements, they would not have had. It may follow that a man will see that it is a better thing for nim to earn a living than to earn a salary which only pays for half his living; or to earn wages paid on Saturday night, which do not meet his expenses more than half way threugh the week which follows. If any person studying this subject cares to see who was the pioneer in improving a corner lot in New York, such a reader is respectfully referred to the adventures cf Crusoe in New York, as published by Har- pers first and by Roberts Bros. afterward, some thirteen years ago. ‘And if it should prove that the people who have made this first experiment choose afterward to take up twenty acres of ir- rigated land in Idaho, or to buy at $6 an acre the land which the Northern Pacific railroad offers to them, or to accept in Florida the small lots which are given away to people who choose to-raise their own food upon them, the persons who have made this bold step in the beginning will not be sorry. _ How It Goes Elsewhere. In New York they now have an associa- tion for the cultivation of vacant lots, which has cpened application stations at the Bible House, Mission House, New York Employment Society, Federation of East Side Workers, St. Vincent de Paul, 2 La- fayette place, and at the Industrial Chris- tian Alliance. In Boston the idea has been taken up by the Industrial Ald Society. Several of- fers of land have been made already, and a meeting of other charitable organizations are co-operating with the Industrial Aid Society. It has been suggested, says Mr. Fille- brown of the committee, that if the city of Boston would divert its usual Fourth of July $12,000 appropriation for fireworks to this specific object it would make more peo- ple happier; also, that if the lands were further from the center of the city than in the case of some other cities, hope was expressed that the railroads would sell tickets for this purpose at a small fraction of the regular fare. The Secretary of Agriculture has written that he has sent 1,000 packages of seed to be used by the New York society. Toronto, Ont., and Victoria, B. C., have decided to try the cultivation of vacant lots plan. — oe UNIVERSITY NOTES. Columbian University.

It is made of ebonite. ‘The upper half can be taken off, and con- tains in the head of cut glass the lamp, connected by wires with three small plat- mma-sink elements. The strength of cur- rent is four amperes, tension six volts.. To fill the battery the lower part is filled with a fluid patented by the inventor, and the two parts sre then firmly joined. When the head of the cane is lowered or inclined the lamp emits a brilliant white light, which may be kept up for about two hours. While the cane is carried upright no ma- terial is wasted. The fluid can easily be re- placed, and anybody can fill the reservoir.
