LEGATION Of u series OF volumes which arc TO deal
with American history as set forth by contempt
raries. The first volume. which is now issued.
is devoted to the Era Of Colonization tl402-
1889, and Is edited by ALBERT HART,
Professor OF History in Harvard University.
The purpose of the book Is indicated In the
preface: 1t is an attempt to combine two objects
not easily harmonized: first, to put within con-
venient reach OF schools. and libraries. and
scholars, authoritative texts OF rare and quaint
writings in American history. contemporary
with the events which they describe; and, in the
second place. to give. in a succession of scenes. a
notion ofthe movement and connection of the his
tory Of America, so that. from his work by itself,
may be got an impression Of the forces which have
shaped our evolution and the problems upon
which they have worked. As regards the prlnci-
pies Of arrangement. we should note that the
editor has been compelled by limitations OF
space to clip and gouge most Of the pieces
selected. and to omit explanations and transi.
tional comments. Ho has been at much pains.
however, to make the copies OF the orig.
mails, 30 far as they are quoted, exact. He has
been careful to use the frat authoritative edition
Of each English work. and to give o faithful
translation Of pieces in foreign languages. Hc
leaves the reader to correct the amman and
spelling OF his ancestors. Only words not easily
recognized are repeated in modern dress within
brackets. No effort has been made to choose
writers especially for their literary value: the
literary abilities. however. of some OF them will
not escape the reader. OF tho writer's them
selves no long accounts arc inserted by the edi-
tor, but q few words with reference to each
person are predxcd to the passages quoted from
him. In n practical introduction" Prof. Hart
points out the uses to which such n volume may
be put in schools and elsewhere.

Evans is q man

He was born in Pennsylv ania, June 18, 1913.
When but three years old his father removed
to the then Territory of Wisconsin,, where he
grew I'D on farm. His name indicates that
he was brought up in the political faith of the
old Wing party. At any rate, he enlisted in
the 41st Wis, and went with his regiment to
Chattanooga, Tenn. After his discharge he
decided to settle at this place, and for more
than 80 years he has worked to develop the
business interests of his adopted city and State.
For a time after the war closed he was the
cashier of the First National Bank of Chatta-
nooga, and then for 10 years was manager of
the extensive business of the Roane Iron
COMPANY, which included iron mills, blast
furnaces, mines, etc. Now he has an extensive
business of his own, the Chattanooga Car and
Foundry Company. This concern manufac-
lures freight cars, car wheels, mlne and panta-
tion cars, etc.

was once recognized. and he was twice elected
Mayor of the city, and also President of the
Board of Education. He ran for Congress in
1888 on the Republican ticket, and was
elected, although the district had been
Democratic before. The Legislature added
! another Democratic County to the District
| and took away three Republican Counties in
order to beat him i'll 1890. They set up
about $500 Democratic majority for him to
wreste with, and he cnt it down so that he
was defeated by only 523 votes. He was sup.

Of 1892, he was beaten for Congress by
only 947 votes. They had put SO much
of the State in his district that his popu-
larty and personal acquaintance assured
him the nomination for Governor in 1894. He
carried his Congressional District by 2, 500, and
was elected Governor of the State. He made
the most brilliant campaign ever witnessed in
the State. The contest attracted National atten-
ton, He was successful. but the old ring that
had so long plundered Tennessee was not ready
to quit, and an car post facto law was put through
