American literary circles have suf-

Charles Dudley Warner. His passing
from earthly scenes leaves but one of
trio Of famous writer's who were near
neighbors and friends in Hartford. the
other two being Mrs. Harriet Beecher

Twain. Clemens alone survives.
Charles Dudley Warner was born in
Plainfield, Mass, seventy-one years
ago, his ancestry being of the best New
England stock. He inherited his taste
Of literature from his father, who was
fond Of books and possessed fine IL
brary. Young Charles received his
early education near his native place
and at Cazenovia, N. Y. He entered
Hamilton College, at Clinton. N. Y,
graduating from that institution In
1851. While in college he contributed
to a couple Of magazines and also pre-
pared a Book Of Eloquence. He en-

East and became assistant editor of the
Hartford Press, which was later united
with the Hartford Courant. With his
old college mate, Gen. Joseph X. Haw-
ley, he conducted that widely intiuen.
tial journal up to the time Of his death.
Its literary fame is largely due to his
connection with 1t.
Mr.. Warmers first success as an au-
thor was in the book my Summer In

periences as an amateur gardener. Its
gentle satire, delicious, sly humor and
simple style brought it hearty well

Charles Dudley Warner maintained and
steadily developed the brilliant name he
had made by his first volume. He was
connected with Harper's Magazine for
several years, and at one time conduct

1t was in 1880, and Mr.. Clemens. who
was visiting friend at Elmira, N. Y,
was called on to introduce Gen. Hawley
to Republican meeting. In the course
Of his remarks Mr.. Clemens said:
