Fall River and Newport and Bristol.
There was no regular craft going to
Providence until long after the war OF
Independence. After the establishment
of the cotton mills a small schooner
with capacity of ten bales of cotton
began to run regularly to Providence.
Other small schooners were added from
time to time until 1927, when the steam
er Hancock was put on by Col. Borden's
company. Other steamers were added
from time to time by the company, but
even these did not satisfy the demands
of the place as Col. Borden saw them.
lie wanted Fall River to be the chief
point in IL line between New York and
Boston. He built several lines of rail-
way so as to tap existing lines, but
these did not answer his purpose. So
he organized the Cape Cod Railroad
company, and built 4 road from Middle
borough down to the cape as a feeder to
his Fall River route. Meantime, to con-
meet his railroad that ran Bostonward
with New York, he built, in partnership
with his brother, jefferson Borden, the
Pay State, very fine steamboat for
those days. to run between New York
and Fall River. The next year he added
the Empire State, and then the Metrop-
oils; and the well-known Fall River line
of steamers was established. 1t is re-
lated that the earnings of the Bay State
were six per cent. q month, and that the
other two boats were entirely paid for
out of the profits of the line.
His sons took up the work where he
left it, and they have proved to be ca
pable men. But one of his sons, the
youngest, Matthew c. d. Borden has in
herited, in even n greater degree, his
fathers remarkable capacity for af-
fairs; and it is said by those who re-
member the colonel's faculty for
throwing off the cares which oppress
ordinary men that the son greatly re-
sembes his father.
Mr.. NJ. c. d. Borden received his
scholastic education at Yale, and was
the wooden spoon of his year. Every
collegian knows what this distinction
means. From college he went into the
countingrooms, in New York, of Low,
Hartman & Co., the selling agents of
the American printing works, one of
the properties of the Iron Works com
pany Then when the agency was
changed he went with Wright, Bliss
& Fabyan, the predecessors of the
well-known firm of Bliss, Fabyan &
Co. of to-day. Shortly after his ia
theirs death he bought out the other in
terests in the American Print Works
company, and gradually absorbed the
shares of the Iron Works company.
At tins time the Iron Works company

Nahum Ward, who lived on Putnam
street, was noted for his gentlemanly
appearance He was always neatly
dressed, and in all respects fine ap-
pearing man. He built the Unitarian
Church, and after it's completion, gave
it to the congregation to be theirs as
long as God was worshipped in unity.
The building was quite complete, fur
nished in all respects, with fine organ
and organ screen
VIM. S. Ward, too, was a grand as
sistance in building up the Society.
He frequently had the building paint
ed at his own expense, and all repairs
needed were done by him.
John Brophy occupied the building
on Ohio street, with the pillars in front
He was an Irishman by birth. In his
drunken sprees, of which he had many
he used to tell Of those who owed him,
calling them by name. His wife was a
good member of the Catholic Church,
and many bequests from her kind
hand were known only to herself. Mr..

many years.
Mr.. Beman Gates published the I'm

teacher in his youth. He married one
of the daughters of Chas. Shipman,

and q second mystery was added to the
family history.
The Bordens of Fall River have long
been noted as leaders in the great in
dustries of New England. Fall River
has long been the center of the cotton
cloth manufacturing interests of the
United States. Probably $50,0O0,00o
is invested in this industry in that
city, and at least half of it is con-
trolled by the Bordens.
The first John Borden was one of the
original settlers in the community
which made homes in the 18th century
along the banks of the Quequechan
(FalD river; and from him all those
who have lived and died, worked and
prospered, in that neighborhood for
more than 200 years were descended.
1t has therefore come about that all
of the Bordens in Fall river are related,
but the tie of blood is not cherished
as closely in New England as, say, in
Virginia, so the Borden tragedy few
years ago was not felt to touch very
closely the other Borden homes in the
city.
In 1913 was incorporated the first
company to operate a mill; in Fall
River to-day there are AZ such corpora
tions operating 2,700,0O0 spindles and
61,000 looms-that is, something like
one-fifth of all the spindles in the United
States. The largest plant, in Fall
River, the largest cotton cloth plant in
fact in the United States, is the prop
crty of q Mr.. Matthew c. d. Borden,
native of that city, as his ancestors
have been for many generations. This
gentleman, though he does not now
make his home in Fall River, is consid-
cred the first man of the place in wealth
and influence. His father, Col. Rich
ard Borden, for something like half q
century, during all the formative pc
riod in Fall River, occupied similar
position. The Fall River Iron company
was started as private enterprise by
Col. Richard Borden with capital of
$4,000. What the capital is to-day no
man can tell save Mr.. NJ. C. D. Borden,
who owns 9s per cent. of the stock.
But the property owned by the corpora
ton probably amounts to as many mil
lions as there were thousands put into
the enterprise "a years ago.
The first work of this company was to
make hoop iron and nails, and by 1S43
there was large rolling mill plant.
In that year the works were destroyed
by fire as they were again in 1859, but

Health, strength, longevity, all de-
pend upon immutable laws. There is
no chance about them. There is no
arbitrary interference of higher powers
with them. Primarily, our parents,
and secondarily, ourselves, are respon-
sible for them. The providence of God
is no more responsible, because the
virulence of disease rises above the
power of therapeutics, or because one
quarter of the race die before the ago
of one year-die before completing one
SEVENTEEN part of the term allotted to
them by the Psalmist-I say, the provi-
dcnce of God is no more responsible for
these things, than it is for picking
