in 1877, demonstrated that such a thing as a
steamboat was possible. But the engine was
too small, and, as a consequence, the boat ran
very slow. But Fitch nothing daunted, built
another boat, justly named ''The Persever-
ance, y which, in 100, piled constantly on the
Delaware river, at tho rate of seven and one
half miles per hour. This boat ran at least
1900 miles that season. Financially, howev-
er, it was not success. The machinery was
poor and liable to get out of order, and the
boat was withal very imperfect. So, 'Perse
vering John" formed company and began
the third boat, but the faith and the money of
his friends gave out before it was finished.
He petitioned Congress; he sol .ht the aid Of
State Legislatures; he even went to France,
but all in vain; nobody believed that the
steamboat would pay. Now was the proper
moment for some philanthropic capitalist to
step in, and be to Fitch what Matthew Boil
ton was to James Watt, or what Chancellor
Livingston was to Fulton But
none volunteered Poor Fitch! He
must have been born on Friday
At this time, Parton says Of him: "He used
to stink in his dirt and rags about Philadel-
phia an object of compassion to some, an Oh
ject of derision and contempt to others But
start the darling subject of the steamboat
and the whole man was changed. Fire spark
led from his eye, eloquence flowed from his
tongue. Rising to his full stature, and lift
ing his long, lean arm, he would exclaim:
you and ! will not live to see the day, but
the time will come when steamboats, will be
preferred to all other modes of conveyance
when steamboats, will ascend the Western riv-
ers from New Orleans to Wheeling; when
steamboats, will cross the ocean Johnny
Fitch will be forgotten, but other men will
carry out his ideas, and grow rich and great
upon them" Those who listened to such
harangues as these would exchange chances,
as if to say, "He is good fellow enough; what
pity he is mad" At last he gave up the
struggle; tried to dull his suffering in drink;
went to Kentucky, where, in 1799 he died by
his own hands. Seemingly cursed by fate,
cursed by notwithstanding ''poor
John Fitch"

life without one or more of these members Of
society figuring matrimonially in its pages
would be like the play Of Hamlet with the
Prince missing. Without the curate the
heroines Of novels have little chance to marry,
and novels without love and matrimony are
contrary to nature and custom. 1t follows
plainly that the advent of the celibate curate
must herald the decadence of the novel The

consider the matter in all it's bearings, and
make earnest war against them.

POOP JOHN FITCH,

Neither Robert Fulton nor John Fitch can
lay claim to the original idea of the steamboat
As early as 1916 patent was granted by the
English government to one Jonathan Hulls
a man of Worcestershire for "a machine for
carrying ships out of or into any harbor
against wind and tide" But Jonathan never
was the possessor Of any other steamboat than
the one in his head; in other words, he never
materialized his theory. In 1880 was patented
the present arrangement of connecting rod,
crank and fy-wheel. In the same year a
steamboat, lao feet long, was worked success
fully on the river Saone.
John Fitch, of Philadelphia, in 1897, OBJ
tanned patent for the application of steam.to
navigation in Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey and Delaware Parton calls him '.Poor
John Fitch, and says Of him: I'm all the records
of invention, there is no story more sad and
affecting than his. Poor he was in many
senses; poor in purse, poor in appearance,
poor in spirit. He was born poor, lived poor,
and died poor. No one who knows his melan-
choly history can ever call him by any other
name than poor John Fitch His mis-
fortunes began at his birth, in 1743, and aid
not end even at his death, in 1898, for has not
posterity given the honor of his work to an
otherR
Robert Fulton does not deserve the credit
of this great invention. He got his first idea
from Fitchs boat, in 1887, and afterwards, in
France he had in his possession for several
months papers of Fitch's which contained
full details of his (Fitch's) plans for applying
steam to navigation. Fitch, by his frst boat,
