books to which he had access were
chiefly poetical, the works of Dryden,
Pope, Cowley and Milton. The scope of
his reading, together with the natural
trend of his mind, gave him an enthu-
siastic fondness for poetry, as a result
of which he began as boy the making
of verses, a habit which has chung to
him throughout his life.
The religious part of his nature was
prominent in his early life. At the
age of 13 he was converted, although
the state of his soul was by no means
to his satisfaction for a long time there
after. His parents were devout Meth
odists, but for three Sundays in the
month the family attended Congre-
gational church, as their own pastor
came only once in four weeks. On &C
count of this, combined with predilec-
ton, he grew up with preference for
the Congregational denomination. His
determination to become a clergyman
was made at an early age, and to it he
steadily adhered. The failure of his
health forbade his attempting to work
his way through college, but he was
enabled to take a theological course in
the Bangor seminary, from which he
graduated in 1864.
Immediately afterward he went to
California as home missionary. There
he preached in the mining camps in the
| neighborhood of San Francisco, lead
| ing, in a ministerial way, life chock
| full of adventure. He preached in the
cabins, in the groceries, wherever he
could find place for the gathering Of
a few together, wherever a few were
assembled. His good fellowship won
him innumerable friends; the miners
loved him for his manliness, despite the
fact that he was a parson.
DR.. Savage came east in 1867. After
a short pastorate in the east he went
to Missouri, and afterward to Chicago
In that city he was pastor of the Third
Unitarian church, he having then
changed his denomination. In 1874 he
accepted a call to the Church of the
Unity in Boston. 1t was at this
time that he excited the mingled aston
ishment and admiration of the public
b. saying that he accepted the church
because he would receive larger sal
airy by so doing. In that church his
average audience was more than 900,
and he won fame and honor by the pc
culiar unity OF lucidity and depth in
his discourses. He is a firm believer
in evolution and has endeavored to
apply it's principles to the exploitation
of religious problems. In his manner
of speaking he is eloquent, but with
nothing of the ranter in his style.

ELECTED BY A PATCH.
An Accident Which Proved Provi-
Dental to MIR. Herbert.
How His Disabled Trousers Were Utilized

Of Mending.

"Ever hear about Herbert's last con-
gressional campaign in Alabama ?"
asked an Alabama black belt politician
of u Washington Star reporter the
other day.
Secretary Herbert. You know him,
I guess. Has charge of all the boats
belonging to the government. Lives
here now. I'm goin' up to see him to-
morrow. Him and Jess Stallin's-you
know Jessie succeeded Herbert
was gcin' over his district and stumpin'
much. Jess was solicitor then, and
powerful popular with the people, the
country folks in particular.
''They were down near the Florida
line, somewhere below Mobile, and
right among Jess neighbcrs. They had
filled their appointment for that day,
and after dinner set ou!. for the next
place in n buggy with two mules
hitched to it. but they hadn't gone
more'n four or five of the IS miles wien
the mules got skeered of a movin'
gopher on the side of the road, and
there was trouble. A gopher, you
know, is a great big sort of land
turtle, and lazy cuss in his move
ments.
"Well. at the first jump of the mules
Jess went out of the buggy backwards,
and yellin' to Herbert to hold on to the
lines. Herbert was doin' the best he
could, when all at wunst the mules ran
one side of the buggy over the end of
a log, and Herbert was emptied out on
the other. He fell settin' down, and
the frightened mules didn't give him
time to get up. But he hung on to the
lines, end, man, sir, them mules
dragged him over the face of the earth
for about 60 acres on the basement of
his pants, sometimes in Alabama and
sometimes in Florida, and when the
team VS. finally stopped it was found
that Herbert had scattered large

dead. Culluloo showed them through
the densest forests, and gave them in
structions in woodcraft and fishing. In
this way originated Hewlett's friend
ship for the Indian.
When Culluloo died, in 1918, his body
was taken into the woods by hunters
and buried. Its burial place is now I'M
known. The fact that so little is known
of the Indian is due partly to his own
reticence and partly to the lack of in
terest that was taken in him by the in
habitants of this region. Subsequent
ly, when Abraham Hewlett became
wealthy, he resolved to perpetuate the
Indians name in some way. He began
the erection of the monument on plot
of his own land on Broadway, in this
village, but it was not finished until
October II, 1883, and on that very day
Hewlett died.
The monument is plain granite pile,
consisting of double foundation and a
four-sided column. On the side of the
column is this inscription:
Here lived and died Cul!uloo Telawax-
ana, A. d. 1918, the last of the Rockaway-
Iroquois Indians, who was personally
known to me in my boyhovd. I, owning
the land, have erected this monument to
him and his tribe.

REV. MINOT J. SAVAGE.
He Ts to Succeed DR.. Collyer. che
Blacksmith Pre- acher.
The Famous Divine Started His istcrial
Career as Missionary to Miners
His Great Success In Chicago
and Boston.

Rev. Minot j. Savage, of Boston, has
been called to the pastorate of the
Church of the Messiah, at oath street
and Park avenue, New York. He will
undoubtedly accept. This action has
been taken in accordance with the ear
nest wish of DR.. Collyer, the present
pastor, who, he says, has reached that
age where he wishes to escape the la
bors involved in the superintendent
of parochial affairs. DIR. Collyer will.
however, continue in connection with
the parish, in reality as pastor "emer-
itus," although there is no technical
name of the sort in the Unitarian
church.
DR.. Collyer told New York Herald
man that for years he had been an in
innate friend of DR.. Savage. In every
word that DR.. Collyer spoke he revealed
his great admiration for his friend.
DR.. Savage is one of those men who
have been blessed with boyhoods of
poverty and hardship. In his struggles
during early life against the many diff
ficulties placed in his way by adverse
fortune he developed to their best
strength all those excellent character
istics with which generous fortune en-
lowed him.
He was born June 10, 1S41, at Nor
ridgewock, Me. His family was of Eng
lish blood, but it came to this continent
by way of Ireland, where the family
tarried for many generations, long
enough, perhaps, for the Celtic elo-
quence to infuse those germs which
have found their full growth in the
oratory of DR.. Savage. The boy Minot
tells us in one of his writings that he
was never stinted in opportunities for
astronomical research-the attic roof
beneath which he slept permitted him
to stare at the heavens through the
numerous chinks between the shingles,
whereby, too, in the harsh storms of
winter the snow sifted down, to lay
for him an additional coverlet. The few

much of his hide, all over the southwest
corner of his district.
'Wcll, Herbert and Stallin's finally
reached a house within easy reach of
the next days appointment, and put up
for the night, Herbert all the time
keerfully keepin' his back away from
the various members of the family IN
til bedtime, when Herbert, too morti-
fed to do so himself, asked Jess if he
wouldn't try and get a yard or so of
cloth opatch his-Herbert 's-britckcs
'There wasn't but one piece of cloth
on the premises, and that was a square
of pupkin yaller calico; but it was a
grounding case, and Herbert had to
have it. So, when they went to their
room, Jess sat up and talked while Her
bert rcseated his trousers.
"Next day the campaigners filled
their appointment, Herbert speaking
first. The country people were lit
tie sore on their congressman, as
Stallin's knew, but Herbert didn't, be-
cause they had heard of high living in
Washington, silk hats, carriage rides,
like that, and when Stallin's was about
winding up bis speech he referred to
this objection of Herbert's constituents
"The speakers were performin' on a
platform above their audience, in
which there was sprinklin' of winin
folks, Col. Herbert settin' down and
Jess layin' it off for all he was worth.
"'Ladies and gentlemen, and friends
and fcllow-citizens,' Stallin's says, Il
come now to matter personal to our
distinguished representative. Some
of you have doubtless heard it said
that he has been putting on a good
deal of style in Washington, and that
this was evidence that he had grown
above his people. But, my friends, you
must remember that he is your repre-
sentative, a congressman from Ala
bama, and his position, if he would
represent you creditably, requires all
these OUTLAWS you may have heard
about. And as to his growing rich,
why, it takes all of his salary to fifty
represent you. know myself that he
is poor man, end will demonstrate
it right here on this platform. Col.
Herbert, please step this way.
Herbert approached, thinking Stall
Inns was goin' to ask him about how
expensive it was for congressman to
live in Washington. But, instead, Jess
went on, while Herbert had his back
to the audience. L propose to show
you, citizens, that Col. Herbert is a
poor man. .g
with that Jess stopped little, and
reaching around Herbert, pulled up the
tails of his coat gently between the tips
of his first finger and thumb, and there
stood out that great yaller patch, like
full moon when just risin' in the fall,
Jess talkin' all the time: ta
"'He not only is not rich, ladies and
gentlemen, but he is actually SO poor
he has to wear patched britches; and
not only that, he had to patch these
himself, for 1 saw him do it, Then
Jess let the curtain down on the patch,
while the audience hooted Col. Her
bert's face glowed like boiled beet.
But Jess had won the day for him.

webster's Point of Order.

Daniel Webster was once addressing
the senate on the dry subject of in
ternal improvements when the clock
hands came around to the hour of two.
But instead of striking twice the clock
continued to strike without cessation
more than 40 times till it was run
down. All eyes were turned to the
clock and business was suspended. Mr..
Webster remained silent until about 81
strokes had sounded, when he thus
appealed to the chair: 'Mr. President,
the slock is out of order. have the
floor" The staid and august senate
broke into aN uproarious laugh at the
timely witticism. The joke can never
be repeated in the senate, however, for
the striking part of the clock is nc
longer ever wound up.

THE LAST ROCKAWAY.
Monument Built to His Memory at
Woodsburg, L. /.

It is now Y years since the last repre-
sentative of the Rockaway Indians died
at Woodsburg, L. I. He was Culluloo
Telawaxana, but little is known of him
except his name. Abraham Hewlett,
who died in 1858, when he was six or
seven years old, knew Culluloo, and most
of the Indians's history persisted when
Mr.. Hewlett died. The latter, how
ever, erected monument, which per-
petuates the memory of Culluloo.
A little hut in the woods was the In
dams home. He was an expert hunter
and woodsman, and by hunting and
fishing he lived. In those days the coun-
try thereabout was very thinly settled,
and most of the roads of to-day were
only trails and by-paths. When Hew-
lett was lad the Indian was an object
of great interest to him and his boy
companions, most of whom are now

Mrs Browneil, the woman who enlist

nattIefields, has taken possession of
the cottage at the 10th street western
entrance of Central park, New York. 1t
was here that a visitor found her, seated
an her big rocking chair by the window
overlooking the frozen lake, the semi
circle of its wooded shores outlined
against a winter sunset as crimson as
the field of Bull Run.

ten days when the regiment to which
her husband belonged-the First Rhode

solved to march with him.
1t seems an extraordinary thing to
have done, but Mrs. Brownell evidently
regards it as the simplest affair-much
easier than staying behind.
She was made color-bearer of the reg

her her uniform.

ming of her military career. This was
from Greencastle to Frederick City, a
distance of SO miles, made without
halt, starting at three in the afternoon
OF Saturday and arriving on Sunday
at five in the morning. The rest was
short even then, for in the afternoon
of the same Sunday the regiment went
on to Washington, its girl color-bearer
ms fresh as the best of them.
The first tragedy of the war was to be
enacted; Mrs. Brownell told the story
of her part of it.
Eve marched out, she said, through
Harper's Ferry, around the Blue Ridge
mountains. The road wound and bent;
the mountains were grand, and you
could see the bayonets ahead glittering
in the sunlight as the companies turned.
tell you," she exclaimed, sitting erect,
her eyes kindlipgwith the remembrance
of the glory, 81 tell you that if anyone
wouldn't feel like stepping out at such
a sight they weren't worth calling
alive"
Then came Bull Run. Mrs. Brownell
held her regiments colors aloft while
shot and shell rained around her.
What courage it took?" she echoed.
Not at all. A battlefield is not so bad
as people imagine. You don't see it at
all. All you do is to watch yourself, and
the man who is trying to hit you.
"But afterward Oh, to walk over a
field after the action-then is when you
see dreadful things! Oh, dreadful"
slIuddering as she spoke.
'EWell, l hated to run, tell you;
didn't like to skedaddle, but we had to
do it." she said.
After Bull Run her husband and she
returned to Rhode Island. They were
three months men-surely the mascu-
line noun is appropriate to both-and
we're honorably dicharged, but they
had no idea of taking their ease while
their country needed them.
This time it was toward Annapolis
Junction, and here the Fifth Rhode Is
land came up with the list New York
who were starving, the enemy having
cut off supplies. Gov. Sprague, of Rhode
Island, ordered his men TO share rations
with them, and Mrs. Brownell's KNAPP
sack was opened as freely to her sui
ferfng neighbors as that of any Other
good fellow on the march.
After Annapolis Junction was passed
Mrs. Brownell saw the action of Roanoke
island, and went on with Burnside
army as far as Newburn, N. C. Here
an the engagement at that place. Mr.
Brownell was wounded in both legs
disabled for further service and dis
charged honorably second time. TIL,
military career of his devoted younl
wife ended with his; she, too, was hon
-orably discharged, and returned north
having served her country as faithful
son, utterly ignoring the weakness o
her womanhood.
The heroine of the civil war show
enthusiastically that she feels the averag
lot of womanhood, patient endurance
harder to face than black-mouthed can
non and whistling bombs.
