His Old Home
in Annesbury
LITTLE CHANGED.
Personal "reminiscences of
the Quaker Poet.

Those who attended the meeting of
the Elizabeth II. Whittier Club in
AmeSbury on Saturday, when Mr.. Ed
win D. Mead addressed the club, were
given a fresh opportunity to review the
seasons of conversation which they had
enjoyed with the poet in that house in
long-past years, and TO make vivid to
themselves anew the manly and delight
full qualities which he showed in his
personal intercourse no less than in his
verse.
The library of the house on Friend
street is particularly attractive place
10 all who knew Mr.. Whittier, and the
more 50 since it still contains all that
was in it when he was alive.
There is still the small framed pic
ture of the Whittier homestead in the
east parish of HaVerhill, TO which the
poet liked TO refer in old age in his talk
with visitors. and of which fine view
appears in a souvenir volume called
The Paths Their Feet Have Worn,
lately issued by Brown 81 Company, of
Boston. There is still the portrait Of
Thomas Starr King, whom Whittier
loved, and who did so great a service
TO the cause of the union by setting in
hlNnces at work which kept California
from seeding. There is still the smaller
picture Of Matthew F. Whittier, John
Greenleaf's brother, who was the
Ethan Spike of humorous letters
published in the Portland Transcript
and other papers during the anti-slav-
cry agitation, and whose son, Charles

And there is the little desk-no dis
tinguished author in this country ever
had more modest arrangement for his
literary Work-which received letters
from the great men and women of botf
sides of the ocean for a period of fifty
years, and on which the most famous
of Writers songs were written.
The picture Of this desk in the book
to which I have referred, shows nu-
lnerous manuscripts on it, and was evil
IDENTIFY made during it's owners busy
life; when ] first saw it, in 1884, 1t was
free of all burdens, and there was ev-
cry token that Mr.. Whittier was at the
end Of his activity; he was receiving
friends and admirers in his library, and
was content, for activity, to chat in
Renaissance and keep his open fire
supplied with fuel-for In his last as in
his earlier days, he had no servants,
and performed all such tasks himself.
There could not have been three hun
bred books in that room at any time
the side toward the garden held no
books; there was not one on either of
the other sides, excepting a space of
about eight feet on the side where the
desk and fireplace We're and are; and
all the books were of moderate size
How Familiarity this scene returned to
the eye on Saturday! and how sadly
pleasant it was to hear members of the
club speak Of this and that choice of
the poet in color and tone, and design
in works Of art, and of his ardent love
of outdoor life! The memories of his
rowing on the river are vivid in the
minds Of all native men Of Amesbury:
and it is common recollection there.

probability was that Grover Cleveland
had been elected the tenor of their
talk was dubious. The worst of their
fears was realized afterward, and the
poet was greatly concerned, feeling that
the country had lost the best of presi-
dents in his friend Blaine and gained
the worst in Cleveland.

HOWARD NATIONAL BANK.
Bank Examiner From Washington to Look
into Condition of Its Finances.

Washington, Dec. 20.-A bank exam
liner viii be sent to Boston to examine
the Howard National Bank one Of the
concerns which recently went into vol
untary liquidation for purposes of con-
solidation.
The Howard National Bank, which
is to be Investigated by Comptroller
Dawes, voted to go into liquidation
last week. This vote was taken in
pursuance of a plan inaugurated some
time ago to consolidate several local
banks into one. and the syndicate
bank Of the movement offered 971a for
the stock of the Howard bank. Later
it developed that certain of the assets
Of the bank had come into question
and various estimates We're placed as
to the per cent which the stockholders
finally would receive.
President Wilkins of the bank, how
ever, claimed that if time is given for
settlement, no loss VIII result. Presi-
dent wilkins says concerning the sit
uation:
Il am sure that our assets are such
that if time is given for their con-
sentative liquidation, a large dividend
will be realized. The face value of our
assets is S1,200 900, which is 120 per cent
of the stocks These assets are in dis
counts, mortgages and loans on real
estate"
By the sworn statment filed Dec /,
the bank showed on a capital of 81. 900. =
600 a surplus of 5000, 900 and individual
profits of 81 1913. 1t reported real es-
tate and mortgages as 1852, 444, but
valued it's banking house at only
$17, 1902.
A day or two ago. when the liquidat-
ing committee was looking through the
assets of the bank, they found only
$500 900 cash on hand and a loan to the
Howard of 100000, that it might pay
its depositors, was refused.
The condition of the Howard bank
was placed before the comptroller of
the currency at Washington, and he,
it is said, was about to place the in
stituton in the hands of receiver
but to avert this the National Bank Of
the Republic loaned the Howard
100000 and thereupon the syndicate
owning the majority of the stock re
Quested the comptroller not to appoint
a receiver.

THE ENROLMENT.
Republican City Committee to Consider
Question of Its Abolition Tomorrow Night.

Republican City Committee to Consider
Question of Its Abolition Tomorrow Night.
The October meeting of the republic
can city committee WIN be held tonor-
row evening at headquarters at 8
o'clock, So much dissatisfaction was
expressed with the workings of the en-
rollment after the last caucus that 1t is
not at all unlikely that the question
Of Its abolition will be brought up for
discussion at this meeting.
There is a feeling among some mem
bers of the committee, that while the
system works to advantage in some of
the wards, in others it is merely a
farce, and that its continued use is to
the detriment Of the party. The feel
ing against an enrolment is not con-
fined to the members of the city com
mittee, however, but the system now
in use is condemned by many staunch
republicans, who some years ago voted
for its adoption. Many voters labor un-
der the impression that the system was
adopted by the city committee as a
rule Of it's own. Such, however, is not
the case. Several years ago, when
enrolment was in its infancy, the then
chairman of the city committee decided
to submit the question Of enrolment to
the voters, and in consequence the
question was acted upon by the voters
at the municipal caucuses. The result
was that large majority decided that
they wished to try the experiment, and
enrolment has ever since been in
vogue.
The actual cost of preparing the or
iginal lists was in the vicinity Of $4,000
and since its adoption it is safe to say
that an additional $500 has been ex-
pended thereon. AS a result of the fire
In the Day building last year, the lists
We're entirely destroyed. and new ones
had to be prepared. The preparation Of
these new lists has caused large pro-
portion of the trouble that exists today.
Care enough was not taken to make
these lists accurate and as a result
many names have been left off of well
known republicans who We're properly
enrolled on the original lists.
Many who are opposed to enrolment
claim that the entire system has been
abrogated by recent clause inserted
in the election law, which prescribes
that no registered voter shall be pro-
vented from voting or participating in
any caucus If he takes an oath, which
is administered by the presiding officer.
In spite of the fact that a voter not
enrolled is obliged take an oath, sew
eral instances have been noted recently
where a large number of men who were
thought to be democrats have taken the
oath and been allowed to vote in re-
publican caucuses
If the present system does not pre-
vent the very thing for which it was
adopted, it is the opinion of many
prominent republicans that 1t would
seem advisable to do away with 1T al
together, and thus save much needless
expense. If 1t Is to remain in force,
then it should be so ,remodelled that 1t
viii fulfill the mission for which it was
established.

PLAYED WE'LL.
Teck Did Up Tufts in Good
Shape at College Hill.

Boston, Oct. S-The boys from Wor-
cester Tech came down here today, and
In game replete with brilliant playing
as well as strong, hard interference and
connected team work, defeated Tufts
with such surprising ease, that the lat
ter have not as yet ceased wondering
how 1t all happened. The work of the
Tech men is all the more praiseworthy
because Of the fact that their captain
got out of q sick bed to play, and an
other of the backs, Manager Rebboli
would have been better off physically
out OF the game than IN it.
To say that one man played better
than the rest will be unjust to his fell
lows, for every man on the team had
hand in the good work From start
to finish the playing was hard and
sure and at no time in the first half
was Techs goal in danger, In fact, II
was not until the very close Of the
game that Tufts made any gain at all.
These were mostly short plunges
through the line, which, aided by
most unfavorable decision, by the UNI
pire, gave them their only opportunity
to cross Techs line.
The game began with the ball In
Techs possession. Walsh kicked for 20
yards, and the Tech men Immediately
held for four downs. Walsh was sent
around left end for 20 yards, and Brooks
pushed through center for touchdown
after five minutes playing Walsh
failed at goal.
Brilliant runs by Wood, Btrge and
Walsh, aided by splendid interference,
brought the ball to Tufts 3-yard line,
whence Walsh was hurled over the line
for the second touchdown, after four
minutes Of playing. Birge kicked goal.
The last touchdown in this half. and
as 1t later proved to be of the game FOR
Tech, was practically repetition OF
the Others Only three or four plays
were needed to make this score. Birge
ran IS yards around left end and Wood
added a good go yards around the right,
bringing the ball close to Tufts line
from which point Walsh was again
pushed over in four minutes playing
time. Birge kicked goal.
The playing of the Tufts team was
hard all through and at times the
players, urged on by their fellow stu
dents, played furiously.

PLENTY OF SPIRIT.
Dartmouth Played Aggressivey Against
Harvard But Was Eeaten.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct S.-Harvard
defeated Dartmouth on Soldiers field
this afternoon in game that was we'll
contested on both Sides Harvard won
by clear superiority in nearly every
point, but the Dartmouth players nut
a spirit in the game and kept interest
from tagging. For the first time this
year, Harvard's rush line proved eff
fective in both offensive and defensive
plays The best work in the Harvard
line was done by Cochrane at left end.
Behind the line Daily showed excellent
judgment in kicking and ran his team
well. For Dartmouth, Capt. CroIius
at left half-back played the best game.
Harvard scored one touchdown and
goal in the first half, and points
more on place kick by Cochrane. Two
touchdowns were scored by Harvard
in the second half, from neither of
which goals were kicked. The lineup:
New Haven, Oct. 9.-Yale defeated
Williams by score Of % to 0. Both
eleyens played the same style of foot
ball for two Yale graduates. Hazen and
Hine of last years eleven, have been
coaching Williams this season. The
superiority of the Yale players as
team was manifest throughout the
game, and their better condition after
prising in view of the aggressiveness
of the playing. The Yale backs were
apparently too strong for the Williams
ends, and the interference for them
when running with the ball was mag.
nificent Williams was weak in the
line, and could not stop the onslaught
of the Yale rusheS.
