and Paris. He received the degree Of
Bachelor of Laws at the Harvard law
school in 1860, and was admitted to the
bar in Worcester the following year. He
never entered into active practice of
his profession, his large financial in
terests requiring all his attention.
Mr.. Salisbury has contributed largely
to the advancement and prosperity of
Worcester in recent years by his active
public spirit and liberality Besides his
private enterprises, which have aided
the growth of the city at the north end,
he has made a gift of Institute park,
and has improved and beautified it at
his own expense. His other benefactiOns
to the city and to various public insti-
tutions are numerous. Although his
private affairs would naturally claim
a large part of his time, he has not
shirked public duty. He was member
of the common council three years, and
three years represented Worcester in
the state Senate. He is president of the
Worcester National Bank and of the
Worcester County Institution for
Savings, and is connected with
numerous other financial institu-
lions and business enterprises
He is much interested in edu-
cational, literary and kindred matters;
is president of the trustees Of the Wor-
cester Polytechnic Institute. a trustee
of Clark University, president of the
American Antiquarian Society, and an
active member of many other societies
He has aided archaeological and scien-
tifc investigation in Central America
and elsewhere. His large gifts Of land
and money established the Art Museum
in Worcester.

to death at the slowness Of its con-
struction. About the same time we
were given the imposing state armory
at the junction of Grove and Salisbury
streets, and a little later the much
needed public library addition was
built on Elm street.
Then there was O pause for while,
as If Worcester had begun to be fear
full of growing to look like city too
fast. and was afraid Of oVertaXing her
strength When the period of rest was
over, the greatest advance of all was
made, when the public-spirited direc-
tors Of the State Mutual Assurance
Company concluded to erect in the cor
porations home city, a building which
for grace and richness Of design and
magnificence of proportions, stands
without superior among the COM
mercial buildings Of this country.
The State Mutual building was hard
ly up, when the long delayed move
ment for a new city hall was got I'M
der way, and once started, there was
no tagging or halting till Worcester
was placed in possession Of municipal
temple of which any capital in the
world might well be proud.
ContemperaneOus with these, more
substantial proofs OF our civic progress,
we have been given in the same period
Clark university, English high school,
Holy Cross college extension, old
South, Pilgrim and Union Congrega-
tional, st. Peters and ST. Anne's, Cath
Ole, and St Marks and st, Matthews,
Episcopal, churches; the handsome FIX
change street theatre, Lothrop's opera
house, the new and beautiful Park
theatre, the Art museum, the almost
completed court house and many school
houses and fire department buildings
erected in every section of the city, as
fast as the growth Of population made
them necessary.
Then the appearance of the central
business section Of the city has under
gone a most gratifying change for the
better; the "looks" OF the town being
vastly improved by the putting up of
such structures as the Telephone eX-
change and the Lowell block on Nor
witch street the Day and the Central
exchange buildings on Main street, the
Foster block on Waldo street, and the
many and costly apartment blocks, or
nate enough to grace any residential
locality in the country, which have
been erected in various localities.
This review of architectural improve
ment in a dozen years, general though
ii may be, is something for every cit
zen of Worcester to take pride In AS
Worcester stands today she bears
whiting herself the neucleus Of a. great
and handsome city Of the future with
every promise of indicating the won
derfu foresight and splendid enter
nrise and courage Of those earlier sons
of hers, who, so years ago, had falth

Here is a biography Of those who are
considered by the most competent au-
thorities eligible for admission to the
MilliOnaires' club of Worcester as soon
as it may be organized:
Philip w Moen, one of the managers
of the American Steel & Wire Company,
among the largest trusts which has ever
been cOnsummated in this or any other
country, was born in this city and re-
ceived his early education in the public
and high schools and was later grad
uated from Yale College. During the
succeeding years he Travelled extern
sively abroad, principally in Sweden,
where he studied the most improved
smelling and wire-drawing methods
then existing. On his return to this
country he at once associated himself
with the works made world famous by
his father, Philip L. Moen, and for
years was treasurer and general man.
ager of that immense concern. Since the
consolidation of the Washburn & Moen
Manufacturing Companys plant with
others into the trust, Mr.. MOen's prom
inence as a manager has been uniVer-
sally acknowledged. He has large hold
ings in the American Steel & Wire
Company, beside many other interests,
including a country seat at Shrewsbury,
upon which he proposes to erect a cas-
tellated residence in the near future at
an estimated expense of a third of a
million dollars.
