BIOGRAPHICAL AND POLITICAL SKETCHES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENTS.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. Governor.

HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN Q^. A. BRACKETT OF ARLINGTON.

Hon. John Q. A. Brackett was born in Bradford, N. H., June 8, 1842, attending the public schools until seventeen, when he entered the Colby Acad- emy at New London, graduating in 1861. Declining a congressional district appointment at West Point, he entered Harvard College, where he maintained a high position, being elected class orator and graduating with honor in 1865. Studied law at the Harvard Law School, receiving the degree of L. L. B. in 1868, and having been admitted to the Suffolk Bar, has successfully practiced his profession to the present time. Public-spirited in all his relations, he has ever been zealous in the promotion of benevolent and literary interests of the city, and was prominent in the notable work of the Mercantile Library Association in its palmv days, and chosen president of the organization in 1871-72 and 1882-83. In 1874 he served on the Stan* of Gen. Isaac L. Burrell, First Brigade M. V. M., as Judge Advocate-General, holding that position until 1876. Ever interested in State and national politics, he has been one of the foremost of political workers on the higher plane of party politics, at the head of the Young Men's Republican organization in 1877, and for the last fifteen years the most efficient of orators in all State and Presidential campaigns." He was a member of the Boston Common Council from 1873 to 1877, and unanimously elected President of that body in 1876. In 1876 was chosen Representative to the Legislature, and re-elected in 1877-78-79-80, serving as House Chairman of Committee on Labor and Taxation, drafting and reporting bills for Co-operative Building Associations,-and bills known as Double Taxation on Propertv. In 1878-79 he was Chairman of Committees on Edu- cation, Probate and Chancery, Rules and Orders, and Retrenchment, also a leading candidate for Speaker, receiving next to the highest vote cast. Was also elected in 1884, and received the highest position of the House as Chair- 2 BIOGRAPHY. EXECUTIVE.

man of the Committee on Judiciary,- He was chosen unanimously as Speaker of the House in 1885, and re-elected without a dissenting voice for 1886. The session of 1885 will ever be memorable for the reckless and defiant obstruction to parliamentary usage and the safe conduct of legislative business. Nothing but the matchless self-possession, mental and parliamentarv discipiine, self-poised, moral and physical courage of the Speaker saved the House from mob rule. In 1886 he was elected Lieutenant-Governor as successor to Gov. Ames, and re-elected to the same office, which he has filled with distinguished ability and honor for three successive terms. As Acting Governor much of the time and prominently before the people all of these years, Gov. Brackett has established an enviable reputation as a brilliant orator and Statesman of broad progressive principles, enlarged views of State and national polity enforced by sound judgment and judicious action. Lieu tenant- Governor. HIS HONOR WILLIAM H. HAILE, OF SPRINGFIELD.

_Hon. William H. Haile was born at Chesterfield, N. H., in September, 18^2 His father was William Haile, one of the governors of New Hamp- shire. Mr. Haile's early life vi as passed at Hinsdale, N. H., where he attended the public schools. He fitted for college at the Kimball Union Academy, at Meriden, N. H. He studied two years at Amherst College, but left 'that institution to enter Dartmouth College, from which he graduated with high honor in 1857. He began the study of law with Mr. Beach of Springfield in the year when he left college. After completing his studies he went to Europe, and on his return he removed to Boston, when he was admitted to the bar. He practiced law but a short time, leaving that profession to engage in the manufacturing business with his father. Mr. Haile has always been a Republican, and in 1881 he was elected mayor of Springfield, assuming his duties on Jan. 2, 1882, and succeeding Mayor Ladd. In the fall of 1882 he was elected to the State Senate, where he served with distinction for one term. He has always taken a prominent part in politics, representing the best sentiment of the Republican party as well as the moral and religious interests of the Commonwealth. He enjoys the full confidence of the large part of the people who are determined to restrict the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage and crush out the political power of the saloon and liquor dealers, who serve no common interest, but make open war on the public weal, for greed of gain. He has long been one of the leading advisors and supporters of the" First Parish Congregational Church and superintendent of its large Sunday Schools. Business sagacity and probity has brought him a large fortune, but it is his personal integrity, high standing, political, moral and religious character and thorough equipment in Executive and Legislative qualifications that make him the "recognized pro- spective man who can best conserve the highest interests of the Common- wealth and restore the prestige of his party"by bringing back its old time devotion to principles.

STATE COMMISSIONS. New State Mouse.

Hon. John D. Long, Ex-Governor and Representative in Congress, was appointed by Gov. Ames Chairman of the Commission for building the New State House under the various Acts of the Legislature and authority of the Executive Counsel for taking all the real estate bounded by Mt. Vernon, Hancock, Derne, and Temple Streets, and building thereon the New State House from the plans submitted by Messrs. Brigham & SpofFord, and accepted by the Legislature and Council under the awards offered to the several com- peting architects after lengthy, careful and rigorous examination, reference and judgment of the highest authority and competency. Ex-Governor Long was a native of Buckfield, Me., born in 1838. Enjoying the best of educa- tional opportunities he entered Harvard College and graduated with high

honors of his class ; studied law at Cambridge and in the offices of the late Sidney Bartlett and Peleg W. Chandler. In 1862 he founded a law partnership with Hon. Stillman B. Allen, which is still continued under the firm name of Allen, Long & Hemenway. He represented his adopted town of Hingham in the Legislature for 1875-8, being chosen Speaker of the House for three successive years. He was elected to the second state office of Lieut-Gov- ernor in 1878, and Governor in 1879, following Hon. Thos. Talbot. He was re-elected two years successively and gave to the State an administration of affairs that made him the most deservedly popular and honored of Mass- achusetts statesmen, either as a chief magistrate of rare executive ability, an erudite scholar, a brilliant orator and successful politician. At the expiration of Sen. Dawes's third term Gov. Long was unanimously recognized as his- rightful, legitimate and expected successor by a large majority of the people

of the State ; but through the opposition of leading political managers the hope and purpose of the people was defeated. Having served the State with an ability that brought him a national fame he declined re-election to Congress to devote himself to his profession which he had long neglected at great financial sacrifice.

William Endicott, Jr., associated with Ex-Governor Long on the Com- mission. The appointment of Mr. Endicott is another of those admirable selections of men of peculiar fitness for special positions. He is the financial partner and manager of one of the largest business firms of the city and well equiped in generalization and detail for the safe conduct of millions of State funds placed at his disposal.

Benjamin D. Whitcomb the third and practical member is too well known to all Boston business men and builders as one of the ablest and most experienced of that corps of city builders and contractors who reared the splendid structures, public, business and private that adorn and beautify the city. In professional skill, sound judgement and high authority for all theory and practice in detail of building he is rated with'the best. With his associates, the Commission could hardly be improved for the work in hand. Architects.

Messrs. Brigham and Spofford the State Architects for the plans, specifications and construction of the new state House are well known as a leading firm of highest reputation in the profession. They had the remodelling of the Commonwealth Building in charge for the State in 1883. State, Municipal and National Public Buildings have taxed the skill and BIOGRAPHY. DEPARTMENTS. 7

resources of the foremost architects in the country, and some notable failures in Capitol structures have called for the closest*scrutiny in the inauguration of new enterprises involving such public interests and large investments of public funds. The award to the firm of the present work after the competition brought out by the liberal premiums, is itself a guarantee of the ability, skill and interest of the projectors of the work to merit the confidence placed in them and extend their already well earned reputation.

Charles Brigham was born June 21, 1841, at Watertown ; was graduated at the High School, and then entered at the age of eighteen, as a student, with Calvin Ryder, architect, in Boston. Enlisted in 1862 and served as Second Sergeant in Company K, 5th Massachusetts Regiment, and on his return completed his studies in the offices of Gridley J. F. Bryant and John H. Sturgis, with the latter of whom he became partner in 1866, which partnership "continued until 1886. Some of the principal works of this firm in Boston are the Bureau of Charity building, on Chardon street, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Advent Church, and the Young Men's Christian Association building, on Boylston street, the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance building on State street. In 1888. Mr. Brigham associated with him in partnership, Mr. J C. Spofford, since which time they have been engaged in numerous works of magnitude, m various parts of the country. John C. Spofford was born Webster, Androscoggin Co., Me., and educated at Monmouth Academy and the Maine Wesleyan Seminary. Coming to Boston he entered the office of H. J. Preston, and subsequently that of Sturgis & Brigham. In their employ he devoted himself specially to superin- tendence, and had in charge in that capacity many of their most important, buildings, among which were the Commonwealth and the Mass. Hospital Life Association buildings. In Feb., 1888, he became partner with Mr. Brigham, and the result of their combined labors has been notable. Besides a large domestic practice they are the architects of the extension of the Maine State Capitol as well as that of Massachusetts. Hailroad Commission. Hon. Geo. G. Crocker, who has succeeded Judge Russell as Chairman of this chief State Board of Railroad Administration, was born hi B jston, Dec. 15, 1843, educated in Latin School, and graduated at Harvard in 1864, Stud- ied law and has practiced in Boston. Was member of the House in 1873-74, and the Senate 1880-83. Was Chairman of Railroad Committee and Judi- ciary, State House and Taxation ; was also chosen President of- Senate. He received the appointment from Gov. Ames of his present position in 1886, and was probably the most thoroughly equipped and acceptable official avail- able for the head of this most important and responsible of all the State Com- missions. The Republican State Committee has had no such able administration since as in the years of his Secretaryship. W. Augustus Crafts, clerk of the Commission from its organization in 1869, was born in Roxbury, Oct. 28, 1819. He attended public and private schools in Cambridge, and graduated at Harvard College in 1840, and continued a professional course at the Law School, also in the office of Judge Phillips, practicing in Boston. Was a member of the Roxbury City Council three years and President of that body. Also gave special attention to public schools, being for many years on the School Board. Was engaged in jour- nalism for several years, and edited the Norfolk County Journal. He represented Roxbury in the Legislature in 1853-54 and 1861. For nearly twenty years the records of the Railroad Commission, the most important of the State Boards, as presented in his annual reports have been the highest recognized authority, and furnished the basis and model for similar departments in other States. They will ever stand as a fitting and creditable memorial of his industry, ability and faithful work. BIOGRAPHY. DEPARTMENTS.

Tax Commission.

Hon. Charles Endicott, Tax Commissioner, was born in Canton, Oct. 28, r 1822 ; received the usual aid offered bj the common schools of the period, of which he availed himself to the utmost by an assiduity and perseverance, making ample amends for the lack of larger opportunities in academic education. Read law with the late Hon. Ellis Ames of Canton, and admitted to the bar in 1857. His first official appointment was to the office of Deputy Sheriff, following in most of the offices of trust and executive management in his native town. He was also for many years County Commissioner, and Commissioner of Insolvency for the County of Norfolk.

Elected State Treasurer in 1876,* he was re-elected continuously five years till the limitation of the statute expired in 1881, when he was reappointed Tax Commissioner and Commissioner of Corporations in 1881, con- ducting the important and intricate affairs of that department till the present time. This unbroken continuity of public service for forty years, in all their varied departments of official capacity, presents an honorable record, alike creditable to himself and valuable to the State. To his honor be it exception- ally recorded, he has never compromised the genial serenity of the refined, courteous, and urbaue gentleman in the usual asperities and dictatorial assumptions of political and public life.

He then received the appointment of Superintendent of In-Door Poor, which he has held for six years under the present Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity. A quarter of a century in executive management of various departments of State charities, with a previous large experience in control of city and State affairs, has given him an enviable position as one of the ablest^ most efficient, and popular officials in department business.

Banks was commissioned Major General and was in constant active service through the war.

~~NEW STATE HOUSE.~~

Probably no government or departmental business to the extent of this State's interests has been carried on for so long a period, with such limited accommodations, as has been the history of the executive, legislative, and administrative departments of this Commonwealth. At the beginning of the present decade, the pressure was so great that the general clamor for accom modations could no longer be ignored. Various orders and resolves looking to the acquisition of adjacent property were reported. On the 21st of April, 1880, a resolve was passed (Chap. 5, Laws and Resolves of 1880) authorizing the Governor and Council to take 8400 feet of land, westerly of the present State House, at a cost not exceeding $120,000. Extended negotiations were carried on under this authority, but several wealthy and influential citizens who owned fine residences, occupied by their families for scores of years, which must be sacrificed, opposed the transfer so vigorously that Gov. Long and Council deemed it unwise to act under a permissory bill to the extreme limit of the sovereignty of the State in its rights of "Eminent Domain." The enlargement and improvement of the basement of the present State House (under chap. 68 of Resolves of 1881), at an expenditure of $60,000, and in 1883, under the administration of Gov. Butler, the acquirement and remodelling of the Commonwealth Building at a cost of $200,000, accommo- dated a dozen or more departments, and delayed, for the time, the necessity for a new edifice.

The State Treasury carried a rental of sixty thousand dollars : the two buildings on Beacon Street and Pemberton Square at an annual expense of $13,000 and $ 10,000, respectively, with $12,000 for improvements, amounted to more than one half of the total. Late in the session of 1886, the Committee on State House, through Repre- sentative Chappelle, reported a bill, again authorizing the Governor and Council to acquire, by gift or purchase, or to take the whole or any part of one or more of the following tracts of land : First, the square or parcel of land lying next north of the State House, and bounded north by Derne street, east by Temple street, south by Mt. Vernon street, and west by Hancock St. Second, the square or parcel of land lying next east of the State House, and bounded, including the portion thereof now owned by the Commonwealth, north by Beacon Hill place, east by Bowdoin street, south by Beacon street, and west by Mt. Vernon street. Third, a strip or parcel of land lying next west of the State House, not to exceed in any part thereof 100 feet in width, measured from east to west, and bounded north by Mt. Vernon street, east by Hancock avenue, south by Beacon street, and west by other lands of private persons. The assessed and estimated value and extent of the different parcels of land

embraced in the bill was as follows : Estates easterly on Mt. "Vernon, Beacon and Bowdoin streets, 15,590 feet, assessed at $266,000. Estates northerlv on Mt. Vernon. Hancock, Temple and Derne streets, 63,526 feet, estimated at $319,000. Estates westerly, bounded by Hancock avenue, Beacon, Joy andMt.Vernon streets, 74,931 feet, assessed at $1,269,000. The Legislature of 1888 first located the new building definitely on the pres- , ent site, in a mandatory bill (House Bill, No. 294) "reported to the House March 13, by Representative Fales for the Committee on State House. This bill directed the Governor and Council to take, or acquire by gift or purchase within six months, the following tracts and parcels of land, described in section first, as follows, to wit The whole of the following described tracts or parcels of land, with the buildings and improvements thereon, and with the rights and privileges thereto appertaining, the same being situate in said city of Boston, and lying

adjacent or near to the State House, namely : The square or parcel of land lying next north of the State House, and bounded north by Derne street, east by Temple street, south by the south line of Monnt Vernon street and wr est by Hancock street. Also they are authorized to take, by purchase or otherwise, the parcel of land or any part thereof comprising the estates on the easterly side of Temple street, between Mount Vernon and Derne streets, bonnded and

described as follows : northerly by Derne street, westerly by Temple street, southerly by the south line of Mount Vernon street and easterly by a line parallel with and sixty feet from the easterly line of Temple street, including in the above description, in whole or in part, numbers 13 and 15 in Mount Vernon street, and 82, 80 78, 76, 74, 72, 70 and 68 in Temple street, and 9 and 11 Derne street. Senator Clark, of Essex, dissenting in the Committee reporting the House Bill, offered a substitute bill (No. 245), in the Senate, advocating the location

~~and erection of a building on the square east of the State House ; as specified~~

~~in sections first and third, as follows : ADVERTISEMENTS.~~

~~NEW STATE HOUSE.~~

Section 1. The Governor, with the advice and consent of the Council, shall purchase or take in fee simple, in behalf of the Commonwealth, the estates in the city of Boston bounded by Beacon, Mount Vernon and Bowdoin streets, and by land now owned by the Commonwealth, formerly known as the Way estate. Sec. 3. There shall be erected on the land bounded by Beacon, Mount Vernon and Bowdoin streets, and the Commonwealth Building in said city of Boston, a plain three-story, fire-proof building, at a cost not exceeding three hundred thousand dollars, and the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Council, is hereby authorized to appoint two commissioners, who shall receive such compensation as the Governor and Council may determine. The idea of a plain department building, limited to three hundred thousand dollars, and located on Beacon and Bowdoin streets, was known as the Secre- tary of State's plan. it Obviously, its salient point was its economic feature ; in spite of which met with strenuous opposition in the Legislature, and a verdict of general condemnation in public opinion. " An article, under the heavily displayed heading : The Old State House Condemned," in the Boston Herald, and supposed to have been inspired by the Secretary of State, launched the discussion in the columns of the Boston dailies, the Herald leading in opposition. The primary objections were the complete failure to satisfy the public demand, and the evident disappointment to the general expectation of a new structure on the present site, retaining intact our old State House so deeply intrenched in the patriotic sentiment of the Commonwealth, by its rich and varied historic associations. The substitute bill failed, and the original House bill was " put upon its passage." It was well known that Governor Ames, with his usual business sagacity, desired to end the dilatory policy of the past, and organize a practical and decisive plan for completing the important project. A bill, therefore, was reported (House, 440,) April 24, 1889, by Representative Fottler, authorizing the Governor and Council to appoint within thirty days, a commission, to be known as the State House Construction Commission, whose duty it should be to proceed at once in the erection of a building on the reservoir lot, in accordance with the plans submitted to the Legislature, in a message from the Governor dated April 10, 1889. Acting under authority of this bill Governor Ames appointed Ex-Gov. John D. Long, Hon. William Endicott, Jr., and Benjamin Whitcomb, Esq., as Commissioners. Section second enumerates the duties of the commission. Section fourth makes it obligatory to do all the work by express contract, and disables either Commissioner from having anv interest, direct or indirect, in any contract, under penalty of removal from office. Section fifth provides for the appointment of competent architects to carry on the work.

Section seven authorizes the issue of $2,500,000 four per cent . forty year bonds for construction account. Under authority thus conferred the Com- mission appointed Messrs. Brigham and Spofford, Architects in charge, to complete the structure in accordance with the " Plans " foimally accepted by the Governor and Council. Under the several advertised proposals contracts were awarded to Norcross

~~Bros, of Worcester, for construction and materials of main buildings ; Hal-~~

lowed Granite Co., for granite in basement ; Lee Marble Co., for finished marble in superstructure, colonade porticos and balconies. All contracts have been made, to the amount of $1,250,000, below the original estimates, indicating the completion of the work within the appropriations. Bonds executed with contractors guarantee the final construction by April, 1892. ADVERTISEMENTS.

JOSEPH BRECK & SONS. Messrs Joseph Breck & Son, the old reliable agricultural House of Boston and New England, still holds its place at the front in this most important line of business. Established in 1822, this House has seen wonderful changes in farming implements, and now, as in the past, by experiments and importa- tions, the choicest of all that is needed on the farm, or in the greenhouse may be found in stock at the lowest possible price for a good article. Their long established reputation for reliability in all departments is their best claim upon agricultural buyers for preference over other houses, when purchasing.

~~W. S. BUTLER & CO.~~

No house of its class is more widely known and etensively patronized than is the old established firm of W. S.'Butler & Co. Its location opposite the Park St. Church and Granary Burying Ground, makes it central to all, and the well selected stock in every assortment of style and quality always appeals successfully to the purchasing public. In all departments, from small wares to laces and rich fabrics, the needs or desires of the customer are met at the lowest possible prices at which the goods can be imported or purchased from first hands in this country. THE GEORGIA MARBLE CO. Two years ago Georgia Marble was unknown in New England, but largely used in other parts of the country. Since that time, many well known architects, contractors, and business men of Boston have visited the wonderful quarries of the Georgia Marble Company, and will bear testimony to the company's unlimited deposits of marble, unequalled in soundness and variety by the combined marbles of this country, and as beautiful as those of any foreign production. These facts are now generally acknowledged, and the result is that the marble is rapidly being adopted in this market. The Geor- gia Marble Company is now operating four distinct and separate qnarries, capable of producing 400,000 cubic feet per year, and its new mill is the finest 6ingle mill in the country for sawing marble. The plant of the company com- prises 7000 acres of marble lands, six miles railway, two mills for sawing marble, the longest and best travelling and storage derrick in the country, machine shops, thirty-five dwelling-houses, supplies, etc. ADVERTISEMENTS.

HYGEIA LITHIA WATER. One of the many advantages possessed by the Hygeia Lithia Water is the absolute purity of the Hygeia Distilled Water, which is used as a base for this preparation. Its entire freedom from organic matter, bacteria or germ contamination, undesirable salts of lime, magnesia, etc., makes the Hegeia Lithia Water superior to any of the spring waters, which in some instances contain earthy salts and mineral matter in sufficient quantities to retard the effect of the Lithia as a solvent for uric acid. Hygeia Lithia Water is pure and reliable, and the most valuable remedy known for Gout, Rheumatism, Gravel, and all Kidney and Bladder disorders. Any dealer can supply you with it.

THE MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY was organized in 1851, and has over ten millions of assets securely invested for the protection of its policy-holders. It issues a liberal policy, free from all unnecessary restrictions, and in each policy is endorsed the paid-up and cash values after two years, in accordance with the provisions of the Massachusetts non-forfeiture law. The policy-holders interests are abso- lutely protected by this State law, which is the most equitable known, and no other State has thrown around the insured such safeguards. The company issues various forms of policies such as life, limited life, en- dowment, and partnership policies. The latter commends itself to partners in business, as a protection to their interests. Boston Office, 31 Milk St., GEORGE N. CARPENTER, Manager. REDDING, BAIRD & CO. The oldest as well as one of the most favorably known establishments of its kind in New England is the firm of Redding, Baird & Co., manufacturers of Stained Glass,JMemorial and Figure Windows, No. S3 Franklin St. Boston. By the beauty and originality of their designs, and the elegance and thorough- ness of their work, as well as by their straightforward and liberal dealings with their customers, Messrs. Redding, Baird & Co., have won a most enviable reputation and secured a patronage, which by its rapid increase furnishes the best possible evidence of the enterprise of the house, and the satisfactory character of their work. The elegant Memorial Windows which adorn so many of the finest church edifices in Boston, and other cities, and the beautiful Stained Glass windows which add beauty to countless residences, libraries, etc., attest at once the increasing demand for this kind of work, and the capabilities of this firm for its successful manufacture. BENT & BUSH. The well-known firm of Bent & Bush occupy the front rank in their lines of trade, with a well-earned reputation of half a century, manufacturing and selling their goods. In 1823, the factories were running in Lowell, and later on they occupied their consignee's agency on the old-time location, corner of Washington and Court, at the head of State Street. Followihg the drift of trade down "Washington, near Summer, they still maintain the credit of the house for superior quality of Military Goods, Hat, Fur and fine Furnishing stocks. Probably they have filled more orders for military goods of the highest grade than any other firm in the trade. PAGE & COFFIN. On Winthrop Square, east side, adjoining Boston Belting Co., are the extensive warehouses of this old established firm. Messrs. P. & C. have long experience and carry the finest stock of high grade goods in the Horse, Car- riage, and Sleigh Furnishing Supplies to be found in New England. Three floors of wholesale and retail goods afford ample variety for selection in all lines. Personal observation satisfies us that superior Saddles, Harnesses, Blankets, Bells and Robes can be bought lower than elsewhere. Besides, customers find themselves kindly welcomed and waited upon, whether they purchase goods or not. KANSAS LOAN AND TRUST CO.

The public need but to read the list of some of the largest insurance companies and banking houses in the country who invest large sums with the above company to be fully assured that there can be no safer or more lucrative investments for the smaller amounts that they may desire to place.

Thia well and favorably known company, with its splendid plant covering an entire square on Tiemont Street, South End, is the legitimate result of the untiring energy, ability and experience of Hon. Chas. Whittier, the Pres- ident, and the masterly management of Walter H. Foster, Treasurer of the company. In the specialty of elevators they have made ti study for years, conibinining all the inventions and improvements for securing strength, safety and speed till their elegant passenger and giant freight elevators are well nigh perfect. Memoranda of elevators in an ordinary business tour gave us fifteen out of nineteen in as many public buildings and business blocks bearing the well known plate inscription of this company, with assuring placard notice, "Inspected every month." Among the heavy and costly machinery at the shops we noticed a planer and drill platen 4 x 10 feet. BOSTON BELTING CO.

There are historic associations connected with the pereonel of the above corporation that appeal forcibly to the pride, gratitude and respect of every Bostonian and New Englander. The names of Durant and Converse connected with the old time and present directorship. The whole country is in- debted to the former for Wellesley College, richer in its wealth of character and culture for generations of girls than any storage of gold or mintage of silver, underlying the whole state. Converse also a fit synonym of mercantile honor, commercial integrity and public-spirited Christian philanthrophy of the highest type of old school Boston merchant princes. Among many monuments to his princely generosity is the Maiden Model Memorial Li- brary. Manager Forsyth is a practical expert in all the details of its wonderful development, and inventor of the finest and most ingenious machinery for specialties. He is ably assisted by his brother, Assistant Manager For- syth, in the business office. They are the original manufacturers of Rubber Belting, Hose, Packing and other Mechanical Rubber Goods. This business was established in 1828, in Roxbury, (now a part of Boston), under the name of the Roxbury Rubber Company, and continued until 1844, when the name was changed to the Goodyear Manufacturing Company, and so continued until the incorporation of the Boston Belting Company, in 1845. This gives the a business history Company and experience of nearly 60 years ; and for over 40 years it has enjoyed a world-wide reputation for the excellence of its manufactures. It has also invented and perfected most of the Machinery for the manufacture of Rubber Goods. The Company is determined to maintain the position it has so long held, and to give its customers goods of the best class at the lowest possible prices. CHAS. A. SMITH & CO.

Merchant Tailors, School Street, are too well known to require any introduction. For fiftty-two years they have stood in the front rank as importers of the highest grades of tailoring material. Almost every wealthy merchant and professional man in the State have been in the habit of looking to this house for the most refined and highest toned clothing that can be obtained, while few Harvard men feel that they are ready to enter the University until. Messrs. Smith & Co. have made an outfit suitable for their new life. EMERSON'S PIANOS

~~GURNEY HOT WATER HEATER CO.~~

The use of hot water for heating purposes is by no means a new thing, but looking at the devices and apparatus and system in use many years ago, and comparing them with the present adaptations and improvements there are evidences of wonderful progress and enterprise. For a number of years the Gurney Hot Water Heater Company of Boston, Mass., has conducted a series of very costly experiments in heating buildings by hot water, and as a partial result they now have to offer to those interested a heater, which, for efficiency, durability, economy and elegance is peerless. They have also re- cently introduced the Gurney Hot Water Radiator, which is universally acknowledged to surpass all competitors as a marvel of artistic skill combined with a construction that insures at all times an effective circulation, both for the hot water in its interior, and the rays of heat thrown off from its surface. Their large increase of business has lately compelled this Company to move into more commodious quarters, and they may now be found at No. 163 Franklin St., cor. Congress, where they will always have a hearty greeting for those interested in the heating problem. They also have offices in New York, at No. 88 John St., cor. Gold.

The present State House was erected in 1795-97, upon land purchased of the heirs of John Hancock, by the town of Boston, for the sum of $4,000, and conveyed by said town to the Commonwealth, May 2, 1795. The Com- missioners on the part of the town to convey the " Governor's Pasture," as it was styled, to the Commonwealth, were William Tudor, Charles Jarvis, John Coffin Jones, William Eustis, William Little, Thomas Dawes, Joseph Russell, Harrison Gray Otis, and Perez Morton. The agents for erecting

the State House were named in the deed as follows : Thomas Dawes, Edward Hutchinson Robbins, and Charles Bulfinch. The corner stone was laid July 4, 1795, by Governor Samuel Adams, assisted by Paul Revere, Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons. The stone was drawn to the spot by fifteen white horses, representing the number of States in the Union at that time. The building is 173 feet front; the height,

including dome, is 110 feet ; and the foundation is about that height above the waters of the bay. The dome is 53 feet in diameter, and 35 feet high. Extensive improvements, including a "new part," extending backward upon Mount Vernon street, were made, chiefly under thedirection of a commission, in the years 1853, 1854, 1855, and 1856. Under a resolve of 1866, a commission was appointed to inquire and report concerning the whole subject of remodeling or rebuilding the State House. They reported three propositions, without deciding in favor of either. The

~~first was a plan of remodeling, at an expense of $375,430 ; the second a plan~~

of remodeling, at an expense of $759,872 ; and the third a plan for a new building, at an expense of $2,042,574. The report of the commission was referred to the committee on the State House of the session of 1867, who recom-

mended a plan of alterations at the estimated expense of $150,000 ; and by resolve No. 84 of that year, the work was ordered to be executed under the supervision of a commission consisting of the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who were authorized by the same resolve to expend $150,000, and by a subsequent resolve, $20,000 in addition. The President of the Senate died on the 29th of October, and thereafter the work was continued by the surviving commissioner. The work was commenced on the second day of July, and was so nearly completed, so far as the conveniences for the legislative department were con- cerned, that both branches of the General Court met on the first day of January, and continued their sessions substantially without interruption. The improvements consist of an almost entire reconstruction of the interior of the building, except the " new part " before referred to as having been added from 1853 to 1856, whereby waste spaces are economized, the access to the several parts of the building simplified and made much more convenient, additional height and commodiousness given to a large part of the rooms, and a net gain of more than thirty rooms secured without extending the exterior walls of the building. Including the extension of the old, as well as the construction of the additional rooms, the contents of these apartments have been increased from about 103,000 to about 265,000 cubic feet, — a net gain of 162,000 cubic feet. 1

~~BOSTON. XXIV THE STATE HOUSE.~~

The exterior improvements consist principally in the removal of a large number of supernumerary chimneys, and other excrescences, which had marred and concealed the original well-approved architectural proportions of the State House. Two new galleries were added to the Representatives'

Hall ; and its finish, as also that of the Senate Chamber, was much improved, while their general outline was retained. The Council Chamber, with the exception of the ceiling, which was frescoed, remains with its ancient finish unchanged. The Governor's room was enlarged laterally, and additional height was also added by absorbing into it the old " green room," which was directly above. A new "green room," a spacious hall, elegantly finished, and well lighted and ventilated, fifty-six by thirty-seven feet has been constructed. The ceiling of the Doric Hall was raised two feet, and finished in panels ; and its floor, and also those of the corridors on either side of it, were laid w&h marble tile. Improvements were made in the basement story, which entirely changed its character and utilized its waste places. Openings were made in both wings between the main building and the addition, by which spacious corridors were secured, leading directly from the Mount Vernon street entrance, which by branch corridors are connected with each other, and give easy access to every part of the basement. The floors of the corridors In this story are also laid in marble tile. The whole is heated by steam. "Warm fresh hydrated air for ventilation is supplied to every room by a fan propelled by a steam engine ; and the same engine runs an exhaust-fan for removing the foul air from the hall and some of the principal rooms. A steam pump forces water to the upper part of the building through large pipes, to which there is attached in the several 6tories more than a thousand feet of rubber hose, by which every room may be reached in case of fire. In addition to this precaution against fire, there is a steam pipe leading to the dome, by means of which a fire there may be almost instantiy extinguished. These improvements were executed from the plans of the architects, "Wash- burn & Son, and under their direct and constant supervision. Cost, including furniture, about $250,000. The legislature of 1868 made provision for reseating the Senate Chamber and the Hall of the House, which improvements were made under the supervision of legislative committees, in season for the accommodation of the legislature of 1869, at a cost of about $6,600. By Resolve Chap. 68 of the year 1881, the sum of $45,000 was authorized to be expended for improving the basement of the State House, in accordance with plans submitted by the joint standing committee on the State House. The work was begun soon after the regular session of 1881, and was carried on under the supervision of the commissioners on the State House, consisting of Oreb F. Mitchell, Sergeant-at-Arms, Hon. Daniel A. Gleason, Treasurer and Receiver-General, and Hon. Henry B. Peirce. Secretary of State, assisted by John W. Leighton and Asa H. Caton, both of Boston, and appointed, under the resolve referred to, by the Governor and Council. Under the plans the floor of the basement was brought down to a common level, that of the old part in the front portion of the building being lowered about three feet. In excavating for this, the drainage was found to be in a very defective condition, the drains being broken and clogged so that the sewage could not run into the cesspools, but spread under the floors, causing discomfort and actual danger to all who occupied the building. A complete change in the system of drainage was found necessary, and the old cesspools were given up, and a connection was made with the main city sewers in Beacon and Temple streets. The whole equipment of the building for drainage is now of the most thorough and approved character. By excavating under the front steps, a large space was gained, which has been utilized for a barber shop, a kitchen for the new restaurant, a new office for the commissioners of savings banks, and for sun- dry conveniences of the occupants of the State House.

W. E. HODGKINS. O. G. BEAL. XXVI THE STATE HOUSE. this space, and formerly occupied by dark closets, passage ways, and the air ducts of the system of ventilation, has been finished into a commodious and well-lighted restaurant, large enough to seat sixty persons at table, and con- veniently fitted up for the purpose, giving a much needed accommodation. The space occupied by the old kitchen and lunch room, and for other purposes, on the easterly end, together with the Surgeon-General's old quarters, has been formed into a commodious suite of rooms for the Deputy Tax Com- missioner and his assistants. The rooms formerly occupied by this department, on the floor above, reverted to the Department of the Secretary of State, to which they formerly belonged, and by which they were again much needed. The space in the southwest corner of the basement, formerly occupied by the Adjutant-General's department for a fire-proof, was remodeled and fitted into offices for the department of Public Charities, and the rooms vacated by this department are used for legislative committee rooms, for which there was office of the Secre- pressing need . The room formerly occupied as the private tary of the Board of Agriculture, and that used for passage ways near by, was made into a fire-proof for the Adjutant-General's department; and the Secretary of the Board of Agriculture has been assigned a room on the floor above, the large room formerly occupied by his department being utilized for additional committee rooms and offices. Three large new boilers were put in, adding greatly to the heating capacity, which increase was imperatively needed, and a complete arrangement for draught and ventilating ducts was secured by the building of a large new chimney. A place was also secured for storing five hundred tons of coal, by excavation in the court at the westerly end. New entrances were added to the basement, one from Hancock avenue on the west, and one from Mount Vernon street on the east. These improvements and repairs add greatly not only to the capacity and convenience of the building, but also remedy defects that were alike de- structive to comfort and dangerous to life and health. The sum appropriated was somewhat exceeded in doing the work, an excess made necessary by the unforeseen condition of the drainage, without the remodeling of which the foundations in the front work could not proceed ; and also by the insecure part of the basement, which, until the excavations had proceeded to a con- siderable extent, seemed to be solid masonry, but which proved to be only an insufficient Avail, whollv unfit for use with the enlargement contemplated. Under authority of Chapter 70 of the Resolves of 1885, passenger elevators were erected in the east and west wings of the State House. STATE LIBRARY. The members of the Legislature are cordially invited to avail themselves of the privilege of the State Library. It contains about 60,000 volumes, and is strictlv a reference library. The Librarian and assistants will be at the service of those in search of* information, and should be fully consulted. The use of the library is freely given to all persons who carefully observe simple rules of quiet and order. THE BATTLE-FLAGS.

The colors of the several regiments and batteries of Massachusetts which had served the country during the war of the Rebellion were returned to the State House on the 22d of December, 1865. A full account of the interesting ceremonies of the occasion may be found in the Adjutant-General's Report for the year 1865. The colors were grouped around the pillars in the Doric Hall, where they remained until, by authoritv of Resolve No. 38 of 1866, they were placed in the niches on the north side of the hall, and in the sides of the recess occupied by the Washington statue, according to a plan of A.
