Events of To-Day.
SOME NOTABLE EVENTS THAT OCCURRED
ON THE SECOND DAY OF APRIL.

Thomas Jefferson was born on April
2, 1743. In the ages of John Adams,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, there
is regular sequence, each being
eight years older than his successor.
| Professor Samuel Finley Breese
Morse died on April 2, 1872. He was
born in Massachusetts, in 1871 and
graduated from Yale College in 1910,
after which he studied painting in
London under the celebrated Benja-
min West. Returning to America in
1915 he painted portraits in several
cities. On his return passage from a
European trip in 1882 he conceived
the idea of an electrical, magnetic
telegraph. In 1886 he operated the
system for the distance of mile with
success, but it was not till the last
hour of the closing session eff Con
gress, March 3, 1843, that he could
obtain an appropriation for the con-
struction of an experimental line, to
which his own means were inadequate.
He was one of the founders of the
National Academy of Design in New
York in 1926, acting as its President
for sixteen years. In 186O-6I he
strongly favored pacific policy and
was elected President of the Peace
Congress.
The Comte de Mirabeau, the cele-
brated statesman and orator of the
French revolution. was born near
Nemours, France, April 2, 1749.
Few people recall the fact that
Henry VIII was not the eldest son
of his father, but that like the pres
ent Gar of Russia be owed his acces-
sion to the death of his elder brother,
Arthur, Prince of Wales, who died
on April 2, 1902.
