testimony of Il witness upon the sole
ground that he Is the defendant in the

TO POSTPONE OLD AGE.

The latest theory Is to apply elec-

restore the feelings Of youth but pro-

A Man of rlarked Character.

On Sunday May 6, William Crown
inshield Endicott died in Boston of
pneumonia. and thus departed from
Massachusetts another man of marked
character. He was born at Salem. No
vember 10, 1926 or 1927, for the books
differ. He was sent 10 the city schools
at Salem. and subsequently TO Har-
ward college. where he was graduated
in 1Ss7. He then studied law. and was
$780, He entered political life at once as
a Whig. but being a true exemplar OF
his frst ancestor in this country, Gov.
John Endicott. he revolted and became
very early a Democrat, to which party
he seems Ito have remained steadfast
nntil his death. He was city solicitor of
Salem, which position he held for years.
He was q frequent nominee for office.
but always failed OF an election. 1t was
so with the positions of attorney gener-
al, lieutenant governor and governor,
for all OF which he contested, but with
out success. In 1873. Gov. w. b. Wash
burn, Republican, appointed Mr.. En-
dicott 10 position on the bench OF the
supreme court. which post he held ten
years. and then resigned II. In 1884 he
was the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor OF Massachusetts. and was de-
feated. and the next year In 1885, was
offerei by President Cleveland seat
in his cabinet. Mr. Endicott accepted it
and held the portfolio OF the secretary
of war. This was the last Of his official
positions. This slight summary Illus
trates perfectly his peculiar character,
not less marked, indeed, than IL was in
his first ancestor. Mr.. Endicott was al
lied to some OF the best families in the
commonwealth. He married a daughter
OF George Peabody of Salem. His
mother was Crowninshield, and his
grandmother Putnam, all names OF
character i'm the history of Massachu-
sets. He left one son and one daughter.
This daughter married Joseph Cham
berlain. the present English colonial
secretary. and lives in England. There
is one incident connected with the En-
dicott family which has a slight inter-
est TO Rhode Island scholars In 1886 the
military commissioners of the colony or
dered the cross OF st. George. on the
English nag. to be taken off the flag,
and IT was so done. This was done
upon the urgent request of John Endi-
colt. who subsequently became dn i64i)
governor Of the colony. The reason
given was because 1t was a sign OF
''popery." For this act the blame was
laid upon Roger Williams, and IT was
politically used against him i'm his ban
ishment. 1t was charged that
he had probably bedeviled Endi-
colt. The cross was not restored
until 1851. There is not now. nor was
there then. the slightest evidence upon
which the charge could rest.
