For more information on membership levels and benefits, please visit www.mvmuseum.org To Our Readers ith this issue we have four very different stories, encompassing a Wwide range of topic and style. One of the great pleasures of editing this venerable journal is the opportunity to bring you articles that intro- duce us to little known — or even unknown — figures. Chris Baer has a knack for ferreting out interesting characters and in Edson Chick, founder of the short-lived Chick’s Vineyard Haven News, he has found a doozy. Prof. Paul Boyer introduces us to Charles Lyell, once a preeminent Brit- ish geologist and often called the “founder of modern geology.” Boyer fol- lows in Lyell’s footsteps as he explores the geology of the bluff at Lucy Vincent Beach. In this issue we also welcome back frequent contributor Tom Dresser who gives us a concise look at the infamous wreck of the City of Columbus. Finally, Chief Curator Bonnie Stacy brings us in on the high tech spe- cial effects in Richard and Charles Shute’s stereoscopic photographs in an article that first appeared in the Martha’s Vineyard Times.

The Editor of the Souvenir has had occasion to remark in previous editions that each Legislature has some peculiar characteristic to distinguish it from all others It fell to the lot of the Legislature of 1898, for the first time in over 30 years, or the usuil span of a generation, to make war preparations and to discuss war measures. The breaking out of the war with Spain found our Legislature rjady to do its part promptly and patriotically. With absolute unanimity and no more delay than was necessary for the making of the proper motions and the sig- nature of the bill by Governor Wolcott, the whole transaction occupying less than half an hour, the war appropriation of half a million dollars was voted ; and in the Senate the enactment of the measure was greeted with three cheers. No partisan discussion but patriotic action marked every measure of similar import. But this Souvenir is not intended as a record of what was done.

Serendipity The February 2019 “Marine Hospital” issue of the MVM Quarterly was—like the May 2018 “Edgartown” issue before it—a deliberately designed theme issue, planned for a year or more before it appeared. The current issue, though three of its four stories are centered on Oak Bluffs, and all four unfold in the half-century bracketing 1900, is not. When Andrew Patch approached me last fall, offering to write the first complete history of Oak Bluffs’ last surviving grand hotel, I knew that I wanted to give it the lead position and the cover. May 2019 was, at the time, the first issue where that slot was open. Skip Finley’s portrait of Joseph Dias III— whaling turned businessman, hotelier, and political activist—came later, and the many layers of resonance between the two stories became clear only in the editing process.

ELLIS, PRINTER, 141 FRANKLIN STREET, BOST PHOTOGRAPHS FROM NOTMAN, PARK STREET HALFTONES FROM HUB ENGRAVING CO PREFACE. HP HE "Souvenir" of 1895 is the first to contain recoras of men who sat in the * State House Extension to make and unmake laws tor the state. It was a Legislature remarkable for containing the largest proportion of members from one political party ever known. The House contained 194 Republicans and 46 Democrats, while in the Senate there were only four Democrats to 36 Republicans. There were not enough even of the former to secure a roll call. And yet there was no unusual partisan legislation attempted. The majority always passes more or less legislation against the protest of the minority. The business of the session, although of greater volume than ever, was completed decently and in order and prorogation reached at the unusually early date of 1S95 was also remarkable for June 5, or the earliest since 1SS8. The session of the unusual number of deaths among its members. One Senator and two Representatives elect died without taking the oath of office, while two died after having served several weeks, and one on the very morning of the day the Legislature was prorogued. This "Souvenir" contains the portrait of every "Legislator" of the state, whether in Senate or House or Congress, as well as all members of the Executive Department.

ELLIS, PRINTER, 141 FRANKLIN STREET, BOSTON -TONES FROM HUB ENGRAVING CO-, 36 COLUMBUS AVE., BOSTON PREFACE. Each Legislative Souvenir has its own special features of legislation and legislators to represent Fortunately the editor is not required to attempt any explanation of the differences he tinds in each Legislature. "His not to reason why." That is for the voters to pass upon. The Souvenir of 1897 is remarkable in that, for the first time, it represents an Executive Council composed wholly of Republicans. And it is still more remarkable, probably, in that this Council includes a Negro, one who was born a slave, but who, by the curious and in- tricate complications of modern politics in Boston, was elected by bis district as one of the constitutional advisers of the Governor. As it is quite improbable that the present generation will again see a Council wholly Republican or a Councillor of Negro blood, this Souvenir of 1897 will have a unique value in this respect at least. And this Councillor came and went among his fellows, iu all respects as though the accident of color made no shade of difference between them. The Legislature of 1S97, like most Legislatures, had one chief bill to pass upon, — that for a new Elevated Railroad for Iloston. The bill became law with no suspicion of improper action attaching to it in all its progress, even though almost untold millions were at stake.
