SAMUEL w. WOODWARD.
A WelI-Enrned Tribute to n Public
Spirited Citizen.

In recent issue of the Capital there ap-
pears Very interesting sketch of Mr..
Samuel w. Woodward. which will prove a
most valuable contribution to the biog-
raphies of the big men who have helped to
make Washington modern and progressive.
After detailing the well-known business
career of Mr.. Woodward, who with his
partner, Mr.. Alvin LOthrop. came to Wash
ington early in the sos from Chelsea
Mass, and established the business now
famous everywhere, the article dwells
upon the philanthropic work Mr. Woodward
has so zealously prosecuted since his re-
moval here.
Mr.. Woodward identified himself with
Calvary Baptist Church, which Amos Ken
dali had benefited to the extent of $4,000,
and his devoted daughter. Mrs. Stickney,
had given many later gifts, and brought
new life to it and to its Sunday school, then
on the decline Several years ago Mr.
Woodward made a special gift of $4,000 to
meet the cost of e1larging the church
Soon afterWard he gave $4,000, and lately
has given 81 eco additional to Calvary.
Mr.. WoOdwards practical work in this
applaudabie direction was not confined to
his church alone. He was at the same
time a potent factor in the upbuiding of
the Columbian University. In the task of
reorganzing the Associated Charities on a
permanent basis he gave most valuable aid,
and in behalf of the Young Mems Christian
Association he has been ceaSeleSs worker
with brain and pocket The y. NJ. c. A of
this city has been apparently Il child of
misfortune for years past. Twice within
three years its home was burned out. Last
year NJ. Woodward returned from Eu-
rope plunged in affliction over the loss
while abroad of his siXteen-year-old son,
and he turned his attention in order to
find solace 10 this field of special work for
the young men and lads of Washington. At
the unanimous appeal of his fellow mana
gers. Mr.. Woodward again assumed control
of y. NJ. G. A. affairs, and drew around him
a galaxy of men of energy and purpose
The reOrganized board met in October, 1S.,S
and resolved that in three months. or to he
exact, at 4 o'clock on January 16, 1899,
work on a new building would be COM
menced.
Early in January Mr. Woodward's atten-
ton was directed to the impending fore
closure of the mortgage on the handsome
and admirably equipped building of the Co
lumbia Athletic Club on G street between
nth and 18th streets. He entered into ne
gotiations at once to secure this property
as a permanent home for the Y. NJ. c. A,
and with his characteristic energy succeed
ed in the object. Singularly enough the
formal transfer of the property to Mr..
Woodward as president of the Y. NJ. C. A.
was made January 16 at o'clock.
Mr.. Woodward possesses as ineXhausti
ble fund of common sense as he does of
energy. He enjoys cheerful disposition,
and he loves books, his home and his fel-
low-Inen.
