Eagle Lake Letter in Chicago Post.
No particular business is transacted at
these meetings. 1t is a sort of a mutual
benefit society for the exchange of ideas, to
cultivate the highest and purest style of
literary work and assist in the develop
ment Of a true and healthy American lit
erature. There is no red tape about the
meetings and nothing secluded. Anyone in
terested in literature may feel free in Wis
iting the sessions and will be we'll enter
tanned by the members in their easy, COM
Portable, hospitable way. Great encourage
ment is given TO young writers. This as
ISOLATION has the distinction of having
brought out many new writer's who be-
came famous, among them Paul Lawrence
Dunbar. A jolly, sociable time is had gen.
orally upon the lake and about the
grounds. and many a good story is told by
or about some famous parsonage that is
held too valuable as an exclusive verbal
story TO ever permit its publication.
The association was organized in 1886,
James Newton Matthews, Mrs. NJ. L. An
drews. j. C. Ochiltree, Will Cumback, DIR.
Ridpath and j. w. Riley being the promot-
ers. The call for the meeting was issued
in the Chicago Current. April 3. 1856. Writ
ers "of the Wabash valley and adjacent
States were requested to meet in Ply
mouth Church, Indianapolis, June 80, to
which about fifty responded. At this meet
ing, however, but few writer's outside In
diana were present and for the first few
years IL was almost distinctively an In
diana organization. Then Illinois and Ohio
began coming in with vigor, and other
States followed. Meetings have been held
annually in indianapolis Cincinnati. Day.
ton, and for the last six years the associa-
ton has met here at Winona. This, because
it is more central, is a typical spot for such
a gathering, at the same time affording
an outing.
Maurice Thompson was the first presi-
dent and was reelected. The list of presi-
dents since embraces Benjamin S. Parker,
DR.. John Clark Ridpath, Judge Cyrus Nc
Mutt, Ex-Governor VIII Cumback, DR.. w.
II. Taylor, Thomas A. Redding. Prof. A.
w. Butler, Professor w. A. Venable, w. p.
Ffshback, Eugene F. Ware, James Whit
comb Riley and Lee o. Harris.
The organization kept growing until now
1t includes nearly all the most prominent
writers of the central West. Opie Read.
of Chicago, is probably the WIDESPREAD au-
thor of this territory not on the roster.
Several years ago Read was a member
and attended occasionally, although he
never took active part. Finally. he declared
more and all attempts TO get him bach into
the fold have proved futile.
Two of the most familiar faces of the
association are absent this season, the first
time either has missed In years. They
are John Clark Ridpath and James Newton
Matthews. They are. cousins and both are
critically ill. DIR. RidDath is at deaths
in a similar condition with a similar dis
ease at his home, in Mason. Both were
charter members of the association and
among Its stanchest supporters.
