1 There was an attendance of about sixty, of whom about a dozen Were from New Londo, at the Peck libra- on Thursday afternoon, when the midwinter meeting of the New London County Historica] society was held. At the opening of the meeting at three o'clock the members were greeted in brief words of welcome by Princi- pal Henry A. Tirrell of the Academy, one of the committee of arrangements, who spoke in admiration of the spirit and aim of the soclety to preserve all that ig best in the history of New London county. Such a study of lo- cal history would lead naturally to national history, and he cordially wel: comed them to this meeting place, which, he said, was always glad to recelve them. Responding, President Ernest E. Rogers of New London spoke of the changes of the year, the acquirement of the Shaw mansion in New London as the permanent home of the soci- ety, the loss of many by death, es- pecially Mrs. Perkins of Orlando, Fla., formerly Miss Chapell of New Lon- don, who had been the first to give encouragement towards acquiring the Shaw mansion and one of the first of the contributors, President Rogers introduced Col. C. D. Parkhurst of New London, tired army officer who was now back in his home district, after a long and honorable service for his country. and presented him to glve a paper upon The Study of Genealogy. Admitting that the student of gene- alogy was a crank, but perhaps one of the most harmless kind, Colonel Parkhurst covered in an interesting wav the increase of late years in gene- alogical knowledge, and said it all brought out the fact of the universal brotherhood of man. On the mathe- matical side Colone] Parkhurst amused his audience by figuring out back thirty generations that each one of his hearers had more than 1,073,836.- 000 ancestors at that time, half male and half female. His paper was thor- oughly enjoyed as it discussed the making of ancestral trees. and the assistance given by historical socie- tles. He volced the hope that the New London county soclety take up genealogical a genealogical guarterly, and he pro- posed that g start be made for thi belfeving it would be a source of in- come to the soclety. Endowment Fund $25,000. President Rogers said that the en- | dowment fund had now reached $25,000 and he hoped the next financlal in- crease might be in the publishing fund, that its work might be more ex- tended. President Rogers tflen pre- sented Jonathan Trumbull for the principal paper of the afternoon, a memorial of those three distinguished sons of Norwich, whose deaths have recently occurred—Edmund Clarence Stedman, Daniel Coit Gilman, and Donald Grant Mitchell, Appreciation of Mr. Trumbull's paper was shown at its conclusion by a burst of ap- plause for his eloquent tribute to these mm‘!e friends of his, Mr, Trumbull In the years so lately closed, we cannot fall te recognize some very marked blanks which the effacing hand of time last left in our list of honorary members. The names, but not the memory, of Edmund Clarence Stedman, Daniel Coit Gilman and D ald Grant Mitchell have been trans- ferred from our honorary roll to a roll more enduring and maere honorable than that which any organization can bope to make. These three men have left n record of work accomplished, each in his own way, which has prov to be not only an uplifting influence, | but a dynamic force In American scholarship, literature and civilization. In the case of eac hone the record is beautifully complete. Each had more than completed his three score and ten vears, two of them dying in the har- ness at the age of 74 and 77 respec- tively, and the third lingering dream- ily through the last vear of his long had charmed his readers fore. (4 Edmund Clarence Stedman. In some of those rare pauses which shis strenuous life of ours grants us, it may be well to ask ourselves what three names we shall place on our honorary roll to fill the three placcs now made vacant, Another question is suggested by this. Can we find three that will completely flil these vacan- cles? In 1893 our poet Stedman these lines: wrote “Give me to die unwitting of the day And stricken in Life's brave heat, with senses clear.” » PFifteen years later that wish was fulfilled, On the 18th of January 1908, that brave, sunny spirit took its sudden flight, after a mornin~ of his loved literary work, and a greeting by telephone to a friend, I cannot hove at this time to do more than to say & word of remembrance and apprecia- tion of this rare spirit, which I feel | must be very inadequately spoken. We claim him as a Norw. man. even though his birthplace, which he had only the dim recollection of a boy of six years, was Hartford. It was here in Norwich that the forma- tive period of his life was passed, her that he passed the early years of his married life. and commenced his lit- erary career as a founder. of the Nor- wich Tribune. And to the dag of his death, he rlung with a lovalty\which, like all his other loyalities, has well A POSITIVE CURE FOR INDIGESTION i you have indigestion, vour food ferments in the stomach and bowels, It does more; it decays, and the nutritious matter which should go to make new blood decays with it, and this leads to an impoverished condition of the blood, | to nervousness, biliousness, constipa- tion, sick headache, bad breath which disgusts your friends, and other dis- agreeable and unpleasant conditions.

HYOME (PRNUNCED HicH-0-ME) a re- | might | ork and fssue | COUNTY HISTORIGAL = Fund Amounts to $25,000--Memorial Papers On E. C. Stedman, Daniel C. Gilman and Donald G. Mitchell been called a passion, to the old as- sociations of thi: home of his boyhood and early mar-100d. To understand this. one should have been with him, as it has been my privilege to be, on some of those visits to his old home; to watch the alert interest with which he inquired regarding the rlaces, houses and pgople; and the zest with which he livéd vver his early life in the midst of these old associations to which he seemed to cling more and ore closely with each added year of Gis life, Among his early poems is one en- titled “The Inland City,” which sines the praises of Norwich with all the ardor and love of youth, but which, as in his later years he grows to be his own most severe critic, is omitted from the final edition of his collected poems. It is to be found, however, in Longfellow’s Poems of Places, which tends to show the esteem in which it was held by one of the great poets of our days. The scenes and.characters of those Poems of New England which grouped together in the recently issued edition of his poems may be traced to . | Norwich; and in many of his other | poems linger distinct impressions of | his_ecarly days. | With the quick, sure touch of poetic genius he has also given us lasting memorials of the days which followed l in his alert, busy, sympl:’ce!ic life. But | we must resist the temptation loving- 1y to follow his career as we find it re- flexed so clearly in his verse, through the lighter fancies of the young poet to the grave sublimity of the veteran bard. Enough to remember just now that he was a born poet and a true poet, lisping verses of his own com- posing at the age of six, and led by that inborn impulse to build the verses whose melodious rhythm, subtle fancy and sublime flight will live In our American literature. Don’t call him the banker-poet, do not even call him the poet-banker, for he was only a banker, as he himself said, in the hope that banking would pay its good. sound tribute of dollars and cents to poetry, giving the poet an independ- ence which would free him from any | | taint of hack-writing, Think for a moment of that busy | | life—editor and war correspondent, | | banker, lecturer at the Johns Hopkin: and umbia universities and the Un { versity of Pennsylvania, president of | ytho American Copyright league, and at | ['one time of the New England society, | author of poems appearing in part or In whole in nine editions; author of prose works entitled The Victorian Po- ets, the Poets of America, The Nature and Elements of Poetry; and, with oth- ers, of Cameos from the Poems of Walter Savage Landor, Poemns of Aus- tin Dobson, A Library of American Literature In eleven volumes,the works of Edgar Allan Poe in ten volumes, A Victorian Anthology, An American An- thology. to say nothing of magazine articles and addresses on various oc- casions which well deserve to be col- | lected book form. | But a short time ago it was my priv- flege to attend a meeting at the Car- | | negie Lyceum, New ork, in memory of | i Tributes to his personal worth and his fame as a poet and man of letters were lovingly paid by Richard Watson Gil- der. who presided; by Hamilton W. Mabie, Seth Low, William C. Church and Robert M. Johnson. A letter from William W « ing with verses T, the occasion, was read: and a poem by Stedman’s son, Arthur, | vho so recently died after a visit to | | composed for orwich in quest of reminscences of his father’'s boyvhood and early man- hoon. Mr. Johnson, as secretary of the American committee of the Keats- Shelley memorial in Rome, of which Mr. Stedman had been chaipman, an- nounced the completion of a pian to furnish_the largest room in the house which Keats occupled in Rome as a permanent memorial to Stedman. Daniel C. Gilman. Nearly 30 years ago Danie: man, then a young man of 25, deliv- ered the historical address at the cele- bration of the h anniversary of | the founding of Norfich. This young man, ‘a native of Norwich, born here July' 6, 1831, was at the time librarian of Yale college. The address was soon published in book form, with copiou: and valuable notes referring to man original sources of information, and | making the work a sufficient and au- | thoritative outline history of the town | | for readzrs who do not find the leisure | {to consult Miss Caulking’ voluminous | story, which, as Dr. Bacon has said, “is one of the best and fullest of those volumes of local lore that afflict his- | torical writers with an excess of au- | thentic material.” Forty-two years | |after the delivery of this address its| |@uthor, who had since been president | {of two universities, which owed their | organization and success to his efforts was called upon to accept the presi- dency of the' Carnegle institution at | Washington, with its endowment of 1$10,000,000, and its avowed primary | object “to promote original research.” | Thus we may say that patiert, intelli- it of research which was so | C. Gil- { | | | d in the yoang man of 28 reached growth and fruitage in the distinguished scholar and university president of 71. To tell even in out- | line of those 42 years of active, d | tinguished life in our higher institu- | tions of learning and of the following | {s{-\'en years in that unique and still | { higher “institution to which he was | lcalled would be more than I could | hope to do even in a larger limit of | time than that to which I must confine ! myself. Fortunately, through all his busy | days and years, he has found time to | leave us some very interesting treatises and reminiscences, in which he lets us know much of the experiences of his busy and highly useful and important life. Foremost among these are his “Univereity Problems” published in 1898. and “The Launching of a Uni- | versity and Other Papers,” published | in 1899. He has also contributed to | the American Statesmen series, a life | of James Morroe, valuable in every | way, and especially so for its clear and | scholarly exnosition of the Monroe | doctrine. “The Life of James Dwight | Dana.” 1399, forms another valuable | bicgraphy which he has left us. Prom- | inent in his literary work. too, is his supervising editorship of the Interna- tional Encyclopedia. In these delightfal reminiscences which he has left us he says, though in the midst of a life apparently as busy as ever: “I have heard travelers say that the pleasantest part of travel {is the coming home. I have some- {times thought so, and I hdve also { thought that the pleaxantest partgof life is its closing chapter, when me ories teke the nlace of hopes. car are lessened, opnortunities are en- larged and friendships multiplied and intensified.” This closing chapter he had reached. and the hapvinesg which he had found in the sunset of a long, vseful life was, | no doubt, his to the fullest degree, | There was another wish which he had ! never expressed ingprint. that when the time should come for the clos.ag | of that chapter It might come aunickly. | This wigh was gratified.

In the days of long ago, when it was quite the fashion for our best families to occupy seats In the galleries of the old - Second Congregational church of Norwich, 1 have a very distinct and cherished recollection of a young man of striking and distinguished presence who occupied one of those gallery seats to which we were begiuning w be driven by the crowded condition of the church at the time. He was a man of rare manly beauty, with thoughtful, contemplative, refined fea- tures, a head which, it seemed to me, might well serve as a model for some great sculptor striving to give us a Phoebus Apollo. A youthful fancy 1or a great author surrounded that head with a halo which only such youthful fancies can create. “The Reveries of a Bachelor” and “Dream Life"” were then household works among us, and “Ik Marvel” was to me, and to a host of oth a paroe to conjure with, as 1o still is and will be as long as such a true soul and true artist can touch the chords of this life of ours as he has touched them. At the time I =peak of he had reached, perhaps, the age of 40, had broken away from all expectation or even dread of hampering his genius by a_professional life, and had establish- ed his reputation and standing among the literary lights of the day. How well this career united the rather stern Calvinistic views of his father, Rev. Alfred Mitcheil, we shall nevér leara from the son. If it was opposed, we may surmise that opposition meant encouragement in his case, for there re beautlful, lofiy, ennobling thoughts in that Apollo-like head that had to be uttered. The man’s own benevolent love of his fellowmen could not allow the world to be so much poorer as it would have been without the utterance. His life stands in rather marked contr: to the more stirring lives of Stedman and Gilman, and yet we would not have it otherwise. Mr. Trumbull briefly sketched Mr Mitcrell's jife and mentioned the books he had en. Continuing he said In 1855 we find him settled for the remainder of his long life on his “farm at REAgewood,” where, free to carry out his own delightful ideals of life, he spends the rest of his days as farm- er, landscape gardener, and, above all, as man of letters. On sending through a third person, a list of books to learn of our library could boast of all the books he had written, the au- thor replied in his own characteristic way: “Tell Mr. Trumbull that his li- brary has all the books T have ever been guilty of.” To speak of these works after the analytical manner of the eritic of the present day is far beyond my sphere today, and probably never will be my sphere. Various opinions have heen expressed by wise men re- garding these works, as, for example, that they are moulded upon the pat- tern of Washington Irving, in the main: that “Battle Summer” on every page, however, “echoes more or less distinctly the voice of Carlyl and that it may be said of “Fresh Glean- ings” that its manner occasionally suggests Sierne’s ‘Sentimental Jour- ney’"” fTo all of which, and to a good deal more of the same sort, it serves my purpose to adopt Mitchell's own laconic and liberal reply to the critics of Irving—“Well, perhaps so, perhaps so!” But that reply would not be complete without adding another quo- tation, but substituting the name of Mitchell for Irving: “But I love to think and believe that our dear old Mr. Mitchell was born just where he vould have been born, and wrote in a [ it the sounl-moving pathos that here and there touches the heart? Is it the fuliness of true sentiment and the utter absence of false sentimen? Is i ha wonderful power of placing himself and his readers in he very at- mosphere and environment of the times of which he treats? Yes, It is certalnly all ttece, and yet I have not e St said it Let him say it said it of another: _ “Fashions of books may change—do change: a studlous realism may put in isorder the quaint dressing of his t; and elegant philosophy of indifference may pluck out the bowels from his books. “But—the fa€hion of his heart and of his abiding good-will toward men will last—will last while the hills lasf Remarks and Discussion. Mr. Trumbull read a letter of regret from General William A. Aiken that he ecould not be present to add his words of tribute to the memory of Mr. Gilman, with whom he had long been associated in the National Civil Service Reform league, of which Mr. Gilman was president. At the request of President Rogers, the secrefary of the society, Miss Elizabeth Gorton of New London, read the letters by which Mr. Stedman and Mr. Mitchell had ac- knowledged their election as honorary members of the society. Attention was also called to the photographs of the three distinguished men which were displayed in the library. ‘When called upon by President Rog- ers, a brother of the late Daniel Coit Gllman spoke briefly in tribute to the late George S. Porter of this city,bear- ing testimony to the extent and ime portance of his work, all of which bore the guarantee of perfect integrity and truthfulness in his genealogical re- searches. Mr. Gilman mentioned as the two most important works of Mr. Porter his “Record of the Gravestgnes in the Norwich Town Graveyard” and his \"English Ancestry of Margaret Barét, which the late Mr. Porter work- ed up from nothing. ‘The concluding address of the after. noon was a brief tribute to Donald G. Mitchell from Principal Colin Buell of the Williams Institute in New Lon- don. Principal Buell snoke of" his rare privilege, while a student at Yale, in listening to a course of lectures by Mr. Mitehell, in which the charming per- sonality of the man was impressed up- cn all the class, and all three of these sons of Norwich, Principal Buell said, reflected the Yale spirit in that they were heloers in the world of the world aod identifled for the betterment of the communities in which they lived. After brief words of thanks from President Rogers to the speakérs, and the thres members of the arrangement cominittee—Mr. Trumbull, Principal Tirrell and Major B. P. Learned—re- gret being expressed at the absence of the last named. the meeting was de- clared adjourned. TAFTNILLE. © 77T Personal Notes.
