IN MRS. BRowN!Ne,s MEMORY.
A Town Hall and Clock Tower to Per-
1 |petuate Her Fame In LedburE

A Town Hall and Clock Tower to Per-
|petuate Her Fame In Ledbury.
f Ledbury, Herefordshire, England, the
birthplace of Elizabeth Barrett Browning
is about to erect a novel memorial in hon
or of the author of Aurora Leigh" 1t
will not be ''storied urn or animated
bust" but will take the form of a very
practical and useful town hall and clock
tower. Some 81, 600 has been contributed
by the numerous residents of Ledbury
who not only admire the poet but are not
averse to adding a handsome public build
ing to the architectural treasures Of the
town. Some 50, 900 more are needed to
complete the work, and this sum, it is ex-
pected, will DO contributed by the poets
admirers regardless of geographical loca-
ton and the town hall project.
Mrs. Browning lived at Hope End Led
bury, the first 20 years of her lfe and in
the old parish churchyard her father,
mother and sister are sleeping the last
sleep. Her poetic genius developed early,
and when she was a child of II years she
astonished the good people of Ledbury by
writing her first poem, THE Battle of
Marathon, " which, despite it's many child
ish faults, proved that new poetic star
was beginning to twinkle in the f1rma-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-04-11

ment. While q resident of Ledbury she
also wrote and published volume called
Essay on Mind, and Other Poems,
which she afterward said she had long re-
pented of as worthy of all repentance.
Another of her poetical efforts at this pc
Rod was her translation of "Aschylus,
which, she once declared, twas written
IN - days and should have been thrown
into the fire afterward.'
The new town hall is to be of two kinds
Of stone, quarried in the neighborhood,
and half timber work will be one of its
features. On the ground floor are to be
we'll lighted entrance hall, library and
large reading room. On the first floor
will be the assembly room and a number
of town offices. The stairs are in the
tower, which is to be surmounted by
handsome four dial clock. Robert Barrett
Browning, Mrs. Browning's son, still
lives in the Rezzonico palace his father
bought in Venice, and his idea of fitting
memorial for his talented mother is more
poetical than that of the good people Of
Ledbury. He has converted little chapel
in the old palace into a memorial room,
where Venetian lamp is kept burning
night and day.

FREDERICK HQLBROOK. friend and adviser
Of Lincoln during the dark days of the
war, and the president considered him one
Of his most valuable aids among the war
governors Of the north. Like Lincoln,
Frederick Holbrook is a man of the plain
people. He was born in Warehouse Point,
Conn, Feb. Is, 1913 and was the son OF
John Holbrook and Sarah Knowlton Hol-
brook, who were among the earliest set
tiers of Brattleboro.
Young Holbrook's early life was passed
upon his fathers farm, and although his
educational advantages were meager he
read and studieda great deal at home. He
became contributor to the leading agri-
cultural papers Of the day, and his con-
slant writing gave him clear and force
full style that showed to advantage later
In his state papers and letters. 1t is said
that Secretary Stanton once remarked
that Governor Holbrook's letters were
among the best of the day, and that after
reading one of them he always knew ex
actly what the governor meant.
Holbrook' s early training led him to be-
one of the originators of the Vermont
State Agricultural society and made him
well known to an immense number of
Vermonters even before he sought guber-
Material honors. For quarter of CEN
tury he has been president of the Vermont
savings anu LUZ years uS has DCcH
a trustee of the Vermont State asylum
When he became governor in October
1861, he recommended that one-half the
war expenses be paid by direct taxation
and that the remainder be funded on long
term bonds. The legislature followed his
advice, and Vermont was the first state
it is said, to complete the payment of her
war debt. After the battle of Antietam
Governor Holbrook wrote to President
Lincoln suggesting that he ask the north
for 500, 900 moro men, and shortly there
after the president issued his call for $780,
600. Governor Holbrook was very active
in raising troops, and Vermont sent four
regiments under the nine months call.
She also sent the first regiment under the
three years call, and all her soldiers were
volunteers.
