HERO OF THE TEA PARTY. Chicago Citizens Trying to Find a Grave in Lincoln Park. From the Chicago Tribune. Father David Kennison, a veteran of the revolution and of the war of 1812, as well as the last survivor of the famous “Boston tea party,” Mes buried somewhere within the confines of Lincoln Park. Just where Lis honored bones rest is a matter of con- troversy, and the united efforts of the His- tortcal Spciety, the Sons of the American Revolution, Park Superintendent Alexan- der, ex-Superintendent of the Chicago City Cemetery Joseph Ernst and sundry gray haired pioneers of the eity who attended his funeral in 1852 have been enlisted to locate the spot. 5 The two associations named are desirous of erecting a monument to his memory that will serve both as a lasting mark for his grave and remind future generations of the stirning scenes in which he took a prominent part. They intend first to es- tablish the location of his last resting place and then to mark the same with a granite block until such time as they can réplace ?t with a bronze figure of the vete- ran in his continental uniform, sitting on a chest of tea. Yesterday afternoon a committee from the two associations and others visited the park to locate the grave. Among them were: H. S. Boutelle, J. L. Lombard, F. H. Winston, G. H. Fergus, John Fergus, F. Jones, J. N. Armetrong, H. C. Kelly, W. L. Beckwith, J. H. Ernst, E. G. Mason, H. C. Alexander and H. Johnson. ‘The delegation ‘first went to a clump of trees planted in a circle about fifty feet from Clark street near ts junction with La Salle avenue. Here the Kennison grave was located over a year ago by several old residents who attended the funeral in 1852, and the Sons of the Revolution marked ‘the spot with an tron cross bearing a fig- ure of a continental soldier. The cross stood there about three wecks, when it was stolen and probably sold for old iron. Ex-Alderman Joseph H. Ernst, however, was positive that the Kennison grave was located about ninety feet from Clark street and adjoining the north line of the ceme- tery when the line fence was directly op- posite Menominee street. He was armed with a diagram of that part of the grounds drawn from memory, assisted by old memoranda. George H. Fergus and Capt. W. L. Beckwith are just as positive, on the other hand, that the old revolutioner was buried on the site originaly marked. Maine Delegates Set Out. A special train bearing the Reed Republi- can Club of Maine drew out of the union station at Portland, Me., at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A big crowd wit- nessed the departure, and as the train moved off a chorus of hearty cheers, ac- companied by enthusiastic applause, fol- lowed it. “No surrender,” was the cry, and the delegates were unanimous for the nomina- tion of Thomas B. Reed for President and for nothing else. Each delegate wore a badge of white satin, inscribed “State of Maine” in gold letters at the top. Beneath this is a large medallion bearing a portrait of Mr. Reed. The firemen at work in the ruins of the American Horse = fire, in New York, found the body of Pet laborer, FOR CHRISTIAN WORK First Colored Sunday Rcheol Conven- tion Held Here. —EE Ss A LARGE GATHERING OP DELEGATES Stirring Addresses: Appealing for Efforts in‘Homes. INTERESTING PROGRAM —_--—___ ‘The first convention of representatives of colored Sunday schools ever held in the District began last evening at Metropoli- tan Baptist Church, on R street between 12th and 13th streets northwest, and will terminate tomorrow afternoon. There have been a great®many annual meetings of the District Sunday School Union in past years, but, as stated, this is the first time that a convention composed of delegates from various Sunday schools has agsem- bled. Tne success of the movement thus far has been every way gratifying to the orig- inators of the plan. ‘There were 215 dele- gates present, representing every colored Sunday school in Washington. The convention was called to order by J. A. Hamilton, who delivered a brief ad- dress, during which he said that the en- tire south was looking to Washington “‘to devise some means by which the efficiency of thejr own Sunday schools could be in- creased.” Temporary Officers. Mr. P. B. Bagley, president of the Sunday School Union, was elected temporary chair- man, and ¥. 1. Cardczo, jr., and Miss M. I. Throckmorton, secretary and assistant sec- retary pro tem., respectively. Dr. Frank J. Webb, secretary of the ecmmittee on cre- dentisls, read the Ust of delegates, and stated that credentials for 215 persons had been found to be correct. A committee cf five on permanent or- ganization wes ordered, and the chair ap- pointed as the committee Dr. Frank J. Webb, W. G. Jarvis, James W. Cross, James Jasper and B. H. Moton. The com- mittee retired for consultation, and during their absence the convention choir, which was led by Prof. T. L. Frisby, rendered several selections. Upon the return of the committee Dr. Webb, as chairman, report- ed the following as permanent officers of the convention, and the report was adopted by a unanimous vote: President, P. B. Bag- Jey; vice preaidents, J. A. Hamilton and Miss M. E. Ware; secretaries, F, L. Car- doz9, jr, Miss M. L. Watson, Miss M. I. ‘Throckmorton, Miss G. A. Dawson; treas- urer, W. D. Jarvis; sergeant-at-arms, C. 8. Reed. Mr. Bagley's Address. In assuming the duties of president of the convention Mr. Bagley said; “July 4, 1844, the Sunday School Union of the District’ was organized’ and’ placed’ upon solid foundation by such Christian Sabbath workers as John F. Cooke, Benj. McCoy, Anthony Bowea, Leonard Grimes, Samuel Shorter, Wm.:ornish, Enech Am- bush, Robert H. Dyson and Wm. H. Worm- ley. During the past oor we have tried by every means to awaketi a deeper inter- est in the Sunday school work in the Dis- trict than has been known before. We have found schools active in their own fields of labor, but. not specially, interested in the union. For some reason they do not ‘seem to feel that’ the union cam im-any way be of any great use to them. This we can- not understand, for joiniyg hands in the great work can result, {n nothing but good te each school. The aim, of the work is certainly in the direction, of assisting all the schools in the field where they labor. At seems to us it would te the part of wis- dom for superintendebts and pastors who do not feel an interest ip the work and do not favor membership to the;union to at- tend the convention, and .gecuré the at- tendance of their téachérs and adult schol- ars,and take an interest in its delibera- tions, and see if the results will not war- rant them in becoming identified with an organization which makes a convention like this a possibility. This convention is the first on record of this character singe the organization of the union. We come together with a membership of 15,000-Sun- day school scholars, officers and teachers, representing over eighty schools. The ob- jects of this convention are to bring about @ general activity among the Sunday school workers and to discuss the latest methods in the Sunday school work. We are also to elect two delegates and two alternates to the international Sunday school con- vention that ~will be held in Boston from. June 23 to 26, inclusive.” The address of welcome was deliverdt ‘by’ Rev, Robert Johnson, pastor of Metropol- itan Church. A Great Work to Be Done. Dr. Frank J. Webb, A.M., replied to Mr. Johnson's address, as follows: “For the first time in forty years the Baptist and other denominations, under the leadership of Messrs. Hamilton and Bagley, have de- cided to bury ail differences ‘and unite‘in a Joint Sunday school convention. For weeks Past the leaders among the Sunday school workers have been laboring in this work, and tonight this magnificent audience, fully representative of the intelligence of cur race at the nation’s capital, is the result. Our object is to work absolutely along Sunday scheol lines. No extraneous, No political, no denominational sentiment or resoluticn is to be considered for a mo- ment. Every delegate, so far as I know, has been selected for his or her interest in Sunday school topics, and for no other purpore whatsoever. It is meet and fit- ting that it should be so. Ours is a beauti- tul work. To train the young is to influ- ence the future and make the world better. “There is one thought, however, alony Sunday school lines I wish to impress upoa us all at this, the commencement, of our labors. That is that there are none so low- ly, none so debased among the children of men who should not be welcomed into the houses of God. All are capable of higher thoughts and Christian idcals. Humulity is a Christian virtue possessed by few; none of us are perfect. He who died on Calvary washed the feet of poor fishermen. We can at least follow His example so far as inviting and welcoming the poor and hum- ble into our houses of religious worship. Religious Indifference. “In some churches one is permitted, if not well and fashionably attired, to walk in and walk out. No one extends to him the hand of religious friendship. No cor- dial smile of greeting, jo invitation to come again at depature. Nothing but curious, inquiring glanges,greet him, and a sigh of relief signal. hip departure. In far-away Texas there, giands @ counter- part of this beautiful -g¢ructure, named ike it, the Metropolitan, yphich I helped in part to build. It is ito ;me hallowed by Many precious memories. In it, under the wise guidance of Bishop Grant, I first en- deavored to lead a better_and more Chris- tian life. Rather thambave that Metropoll- tan become such a cold-blooded house of God, one hich, jhasy coagad to welcome strangers, I woul refer to see it a he of smoldering ruins’! a Soar Missionary Work ,at Home. “Our Sunday schools, must go a step far- ther than cordially weleoming; we must go out and bring them jn..,Gushes of sym- pathy and ship loadg.of, Testaments for the young cannibals on the banks of the Nyanza or the infidels on the plains of Armenia will not compensate for our let- ting scores of hundreds of American-born Pagans and heathens die, without hearing of heaven or hell, or God or the devil, ex- cept in blasphemous oaths. Do you know that in this magnificent city there are hundreds of deeply, darkly, terribly ignor- ant creatures? These men and women are of our own flesh and blood. They are na- tive-born Americans, although as debased and brutalized, as far as religious train- ing is concerned, as y sportive young Feegeean. They are at our doors; aye, blinded almost by the glare of a hundred glittering spires. Yet, who goes among them, and cordially invites them in? I can count upon the fingers of my right hand those in this convention who go amid squalid haunts of misery called homes and there endeavor to inculcate the humani- tarian ideas of right and justice and mercy and truth. These wretched slums need aid fer McCann, a | before they become past the power of mis- sionartes to arouse, or, almost past the THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JUNE -18, 1896-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES power of Jesus’ blood to save poor, help- Jess wanderers in the gloom of heathenism! ‘ould that I @ tongue eloquent enough to depict to 9 the ignoble and brutalized condition of scores of immortal, “are hing fellow beings. _— among its jects, transcendant among its purposes, this convention has been called to do that one thing. If this council of Sunday schoo) workers does nothing else than arouse she jJatent missionary spirit in our schools, causing more of us to go out in the alleys and byways and lead our fallen or ignorant brothers to higher, brighter, nobler lives, it will have done a great work, for which posterity will rise up and call it blessed. ‘We thank you for your welcome.” Chairmen Appointed. President Bagley announced the appoint- ment of the following chairmen of commit- tees, each to select his or her own col- leagues: Arrangements, J. A. Hamilton; resolutions, J. UL. Love; program, J. L. Neill; press, W. Wise Jackson; music, T. L. Furby; credentials, J. W. Wright; finance, W. D. Jarv!s; ushers, E. W. Gordon; statis- tics, J. L. Jasper; decorations, Miss M. I. Throckmorton. The address in opening the reading of papers on topical sibjects was by Rev. 1. V. Bryant. Mr. M. C. Maxfield read a paper on “Moral and Religious Culture,” in which he took the ground that parents ought not to depend on the Sunday school entirely, but should obey the scriptural injunction to “train up a child in the way he should go, and when ke is old he will not depart from it.” Owing to the lateness of the hour dis- cussion of the paper was dispensed with, and Miss G. A. Dawson. for the same rea- son, postponed the reading of her paper on “Relation cf Pastor to Sunday School” un- til the session of tomorrow afternoon. After the transaction of some business of minor importance the conyention adjourned until this afternoon at 3 o'clock. oe eS SPLENDID WORK. Remarkable Eahibition of the Man- ual Training School Pupils. The annual exhibition of the seventh and eighth divisions of the Manuai Training Schools of the District of Columbia, at the Miller School building, No. 623 H street northwest, is an extremely creditable one. All the work displayed showed remark- able development on the part of the pupils, under the direction of the superintendent, Mr. J. H. Hill, but those of the metal de- partment, of which Mr. J. D. Baltimore has charge, with Mr. Samuel Keys as his assistant, and carving, Mr. William Rich- ardson, teacher, were the most interesting to the many friends and relatives of the scholars who called to inspect the handi- work of the latter. In the carving class J. H. Catlett has been able to present some remarkably skillful reproductions of works of art which are familiar to the people of Wash- ington, principal of which is the statue of Gen. Hancock, at the intersection of Penn- sylvania avenue and 7th street. Mr. Cat- Jett has also carved miniature reproduc- tions of the published portraits of Gov. Morton, Senator D. B. Hill, Speaker Reed and Representative Crisp, and it is prob- able that specimens of his work may be sent to the Tennessee exposition. Among the novelties to be seen in the line of carv- ing is a cup, composed of 145 pieces and comprising several varieties of wood. A stationary steam engine, by Daniel Brooks, who has been awarded the Dr. Wilder gold medal for general proficiency, and Samuel Bolden, who is classed as, next to Mr. Brooks, the best scholar in the school, is almost constanjly surrounded by visitors, and it is sometimes with difficulty that the engineer can keep the people far enough away to allow him to operate it. Though only 1.42 nominal horse power, it can run a large turning lathe and a dyna- mo, the latter alzo constructed by Mr. Bolden, and which supplies the electricity for five lamps of sixteen-candle power each. A special feature of the engine, an idea of the builders, is that the steam chest has a glass instead of metal front, the advantage of which is that the motion 0f’the valve ts at all times visible when the engine is in operation. There is also a large variety of metal work of all kinds, such as bolts, taps, dies, tools of all kinds, etc., all constructed in such a manner as to disarm criticism. There are also many other things besides those named which are well worthy of in- spection. The exhibition closes today at noon. CAUGHT A COON. New City Post Office as Grounds. A raccoon was captured yestergay within the pile of granite and network of iron Hunting }trusses and beams that will some day be the home of the city post office. He is a pretty specimen of the species to which he belongs, a family of fissiped carnivores, with the parctcipital process nearly free from the auditory Lulla, and the mastoid process prominent. His grayish-brown fur is slightly worn in spots, but his forty teeth glisten, and with them and his long claws he made a brave fight for freedom. For about three weeks the workmen on the big structure have been aware of his Presence about the building, but it was not until yesterday that one of them, a mortar mixer, came in close quarters with him, and finally captured him. He is now boxed up in the office of one of the con- tractors, who says he will not part with what he considers a mascot under any cir- cumstances until his job is complete. It 1s supposed that some countryman brought the little fellow to market, and that he escaped and took up his home in the cellar of the building in course of con- structicn. A leather strap was found about his neck, but, as this was too small for him and almost choked him, it was cut off by his proud captors. He has subsisted, no doubt, on the remnants of the working- men’s lunches, and has possibly made for- aging expeditions to the nearby restau- rants. What the contractor will do with his small menagerie after his contract has been finished he does not say, but that while the animal ts in his possession it will re- oe the best of care and treatment is cer- tain. ———.__ SOUTHERN HISTORY.

WHERE THE TENTS WILL BE LOCATED Contracts Awarded for Seats and - Program Covers. SURPRISES IN STORE General Secretary John Willis Baer of the United Society of Christian Endeavor ar- rived in the city yesterday afternoon. He is more enthusiastic than ever over the Prospects of the July convention. When he wus in the city last, toward the end of April, the Atlantic coast was sweltering in the midst of a very warm spell of weather, and Washington feit the effects of the heat us well as other“eastern cities. Yes- terday, however, the temperature was al- most ideal for summer time, and last night Mr. Baer expressed the earnest desire that some such weather as we have recently been experiencing might be enjoyed by the Endeavorers when they meet in annual convention about four weeks hence. It was Suggested that it might be well to approach the Secreiary of Agriculture and intercede with the weather bureau officials for a week of charming weather beginning July %, especially as one of these officials is him- self a Christian Endeavorer. After dinner Secretery Baer and some of the members of the cornmittee of "96 start- ed from headquarters and visited the chorus rehearsals which were in progress during the evening. The escorting party consisted of Chairman W. H. H. Smith of the preliminary committee, Miles M. Shand of the entertainment committee and presi- dent of the District Union, and John B. &leman, chairman of the press committee for the convention. On the rounds Judge Anson 8. Taylor, vice chairman of the committee of '96, was picked up. A Star re- porter kept near at hand. Where the Tents Will Be, Starting from headquarters shortly be- fore 8 o'clock, the party entered a carriage and were driven first to the White Lot, where on the broad expanse of green sward the three mammoth tents for the principal meetings of the conyention will be pitched. On the way note was taken of the conve- nience of the armory of the Washington Light infantry Corps, just across the street, where during the corvention the headquarters of the coramittce of '96 will be located, ard where also information booths will be erected and tables arranged for the distribution of literature. Here also is to be the office of the joint agent »f the railroads, with whom must Le deposited before July 14 all raliroad tickets for which an extension of tme is desired. Entering the grouris of the White Lot the members pointed out to their visitors the location of the three tents—Tent Wil- listor and Endeavor to the northeast and northwest, and Tent Wasnington at the southernmost point of tie ellipse. Matters pertairing to the arrangement of the seat- ings in the tents, and at which end of the canvas inclosures to build the platforms, were discussed and Mr. Baer'’s advice was given and a number of suggestions made. Passing on into the monument grounds, the carriage was driven to the large bed of flowers which has been set out contain- ing Christian Endeavor figures and de- signs. Here every one alighted for a closer in- spection, and unqualified admiration was expressed both as to the beauty cf the de- sign and the harmonious blending of the colors. The exactness with which the of- ficial monogram of the society had been depicted in contrasting colors was also a matter of most favorable con ment. Pub- lic Gardener Brown and Chairman Tuckey of the decorations committee were warmly commer.ded for their interest in the work of beautifying the public parks with Chris- tian Endeavor embiems, and if there is anything in the old superstition, their ears must have tingled te a very considerable degree about 8 o’cleck last evening. The Chautauqua Salute. Leaving the Monument-grounds and driv- ing through the stretch of reservations eastward to the botanical gardens, passing by another bed of flowers now in course of preparation just in front of the National Museum, the party hastened to the Metro- poHtan Presbyterian Church, where section A of the mammoth Endeavor convention chorus was holding its regular weekly re- kearsal under the direction of Percy S. Foster, who, when the convention is in session, will be ore of the three musical leaders. The church was completely filied, the lobby was lined with chairs for some who could net be accommodated in the main auditorium. A large majority of the audience was composed of summer girls in attractive dresses of white, and all of them had removed their hats. When Mr. Baer stepped upon the plat- form he was greeted with the Chautauqua salute, the waving of handkerchiefs. The fluttering of 1,000 bits of dainty lace and linen just over the heads of the audience made a unique and pretty spectacle. Mr. Foster had the section sing one or two con- vention songs for the benefit of the visitors, and the volume of sound and degree of shading and effective expression were something of a revelation to Mr. Baer, who expressed his surprise that the training of the chorus should be so well advanced this far ahead of the time for the convention. When the First Presbyterian Church was reached, section B, under the direction of Chairman Clark of the music committee, was drilling on one of the anthems, which the chorus is to render at convention ses- sions, but before his visitors left Mr. Clark had some of the stirring songs given for their benefit. The other rehearsals at the First. Congregational Church, under the leadership of Dr. F. J. Woodman, and at the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, rected by Mr. Page Zimmerman, were visited. At each the Chautauqua salite was given, and at each Secretary Baer spoke for a couple of minutes to the members of the chorus. Secretary Baer Surprised. He had sincere congratulations to the singers for their effective work, and urged that they keep up the handscme record they have made for the Washington °96 chorus. He said it was somewhat a mat- ter of surprise to him that for such a long time prior to the opening of the convention four such large bodies of singers should Gevote at least one night each week in active training for the event to which all are looking forward with manifest interes:, It was something he was not exactly used to, he said. Never before has the music been so far advanced this early in the prepara‘ions, wes bis testimony. And he said he was glad this was so, hecause at the approaching convention, for the first time, the chorus was to be given a place by itself on the program. That is, he ex- plained, the chcrus was given special men- tion in the program, and was allotted so many designated minutes at each session for special chorus music. This was in addition to the congregatfonal singing in which the chorus would lead the audience, and at this convertion such a recognition of the musical feature would be made for the first time. Conference With the Committee. All the while the party was en route Mr. Baer’s advice on many questions con- cerning the convention arrangements was asked and discussion of various plans was engaged in. Afterward, he met with the committee of "96 in special session and continued his conference. Nearly every member of the committee had important caatters to talk over with Mr. Baer, and the meeting was a busy one. One of the important matters taken up was the printing of the official program. This will be a book of ninety-six pages, containing tbe details of the entire pro- gram, and the songs which are row being sung by the chorus-s. There will be fifty- six pases of music alone. The type for the program will be set in Boston, because Mr. Baer will have to make corrections up to the last poesible moment. The program will be electro-plated and shipped by ex- press, and it will take ten days of steady work at a large printing office to do the press work and binding. The plan of the tents was discussed at length, and some of the details of seating and platforms agreed to. The Rev. Mr. Skellinger brought forward The Medical Profession Are of the Opinion that Consumption Is an Incurable Disease. ‘The universal opinion of the medical fraternity is that copsumption cannot be cured, yet bow do they account for the cure of Dr. Patterson, 52 B Street northeast Mrs. Holland, 601 9th street mortheast; Mr. Brown, 1828 Riggs street; Mrs. Bender, 1232 6th street northwest, and Mrs. Hold- erby, 615 M street northwest, who were pronounced hopeless consumptives by the sume doctors who m the disease is incurable? Those persons were cured one, two and three years ago, Also Miss Marle E. McKim, 25 Sth street southeast, whose father is one of the oldest “regular” physiclang in the city, who declares that his daughter was “go- ing just Mke her mother,” who died of consump: tion years ago. Miss McKim was discharged cured over a year age, and her tungs are entirely free from disease ever since. Interview these people, who were cured by Dr. de, 1232 1éth street, this city. It is possible tut all these physicians were mistaken in their diagnosis? Certainiy they role ealtha Were, or the above persous prononuced bi consumptives would not be enjoying good today.

Bb. it seme of the plans for evangelistic service Several hundred services of this character will be held in various parts of the city. ‘The evening prayer gervice of the workers present at headquarters was by Mr. Beer. The service proved a very helpful cne, as It always does. This morning Mr. Baer made a personal inspection of the Light Lnfantry armory, which is to be used for convention pur- poses, and, after further discussion with committee members as to details in the ar- rangements, left for Boston at 11 o'clock. He expressed entire satisfaction with what has been done by the committee of "96, and said things were in such shape that it would be almost possible to hold the convention next week ir necessary. Contracts Awarded, The contracts for supplying platfotms and seatings for the three tents, to be used during the convention, has been awarded by the committee of "#6 to Frank L. Han- vey of this city. The platforms are to seat nearly 1,500 people, and the audience space about 8,00) more. The price agreed upon for furnishing the seatings is $4,500. By the terms of another contract Norman T. Elliott of this city will print 100,000 map covers and also a directory of y terest noted in the map itself. will be presented to each registers at the church headquarters of his delegation, and the edition of 100,000 is now being lithographed. Those who have scen and examined them state that they are as complete a guide map of Washington as was ever issued. On the face of the map is a directory by subjects, and on the back Will be printed a numerical index. They will be folded into convenient pocket size and inelosed in stiff paper covers. Some Surprines im St The contract for making and supplying the offiela! badge of the convention has also leen awarded, Whitehead & Hoag Co. of Newark, N. J., agreeing to furnish the re- quired number for $1,400. The design of this balge is held in confidence, and will be one of the surprises of the convention. Chairman Tuckey of the decorations com- mittee, who concluded the arrangements with the manufacturers. will say nothing as to the design, but some of the other members of the committee of “96 have a suspicion of what it will jock like, and from them it is learned that the badge will be undoubtedly the handsomest convention souvenir ever issued to the Indeavorers. Another surprise, which is kept in store for the delegates and the local societies as well, is the style of hat band that il be worn by the members of the working com- mitteces. It is said that these bands are unique, and cannot fail to please the com- mittees and attract favorable attention from the visiting delegates. As the result of a generous action on the part of the Washington Light Infantry Corps, the committee of "4 will have the of the spacious armory just across the street from the convention tents free of charge from the Mth to the ist of July. Here will be located the office of the joint railroad ticket agent, with whom tickets must be deposited if an extension of time is desired. re. — iarine Band Concert.

District Attorney Birney has nolle prossed the charge of false pretenses preferred by Addie Sullivan against Edwin T. Osbaldes- ton. This action was taken, it is under- stood, because of the insufficiency of the evidence against the accused. This is the case in which the police authorities claim- ed that Osbaldeston obtained $4 from the woman, the 2ith of last April, by falsely pretending, 0 the police aile: that he had been sent by the superintendent of police to report whe: to conduct the mas her she was competent age business, > The Yankee's Wide Range of Work, Prof. Shaler m North American Review, The combined effects of a varied relation to the sea, and the yet more diversified In- fluences cf a manufacturing industry which concerned a wider range of work than had ever been undertaken in any other country of like area, in time gave to the charac- teristic New Englander some peculiar qual- ities or habits of mind. He became, as he is now, of all the world, the aptest man to discover in any situation some measure of advantage which might be turned to profit- able account. He learned the precious les- son that in every place there is something which if well done will pay for the doing. The impress of this way of looking at the world may to the observant traveler be seen im every part of the area which has been subject to New England influences. Within this part of the country we find the most complete subdivision of industries which exists in any part of the world. In Most cases these employments have taken root because of some local advantage in the way of access to peculiar natural stores or to certain lines of transportation. In other instances they have been founded by some descerning person, who, looking over the fields of employment, has seen that his place was fit for some pursuit which had not been essayed in his neighborhood, or was perhaps altogether novel. Thus, to note but a few of these specialized occupa- tions, we find that the Attleboros are giv- ing to making jewelry, Leicester to tha manufacture of “card clothing,” that is, to hook covered leather which is used ‘for carding wool; the region about Gardner to the making of chairs. At least fifty towns could be cited as the seats of such special callings, the pecullar conditions being due to the development of an active-minded people compelled to look beyond the soll or the resources which lay beneath it for the basis of their fortunes, indeed we may say, of their existence. Such eager and efficient application of wit and work to the possibilities of a situation has no parallel in the old world, and is unequaled in this country of expedients; it is a peculiarity of the New England conditions; it can be ac- counted for by the circumstances in which the people were placed. It is, In a word the effect of environment,
