A Forgotten Statesman.

Why is II that Oliver Ellsworth has re-
ceived so little attention from biogranhers
and historians? asks Frank Gaylord Cook
in the April Atlantic. lie was not born
in Massachusetts or Virginia. In Connec-
ticut, like Pennsylvania, the historic field
has been meagerly titled. Moreover, the
dramatic and opportune quality of his
work has been perceived only through
the perspective OF subsequent years. To
negotiate an unpopular convention for n
party just retiring from office in defeat
and ignominy is not conducive 10 imme-
diate fame. Nevertheless, he has not been
wholly overlooked by subsequent states

nave the privilege thereafter OF earning

penses for postage and stationery.
In the banks OF the city there are 500
or more protested checks for amounts
ranging from $3.50 TO $li50 and averaging
about 81. These were sent in payment for
work done by Vankirk & Robbins. and
when they reached this city there was
40 money in the banks TO pay them.
The two members OF the firm are hav-
ing a hearing before the United States
postal authorities in Washington. These
officials will decide whether the scheme

ernment will confscate the many wagon

such a magnitude that there would have
TO be a special postofiice for the sole use
of the firm. AS II was. the 1900 letters
a day and the numerous money orders
they contained so swamped the office
force that IL was impossible to handle
the great amount without several hours
extra work.
Vankirk and Robbins were both pretty
hard up when they started the scheme.
Robbins had an old horse. He sold IL
for SIS and with this money they had
circulars printed, bought a few fountain
pens, got more on credit, and rented

McKeown OF this city.
They mailed a number OF letters after
getting a book full of addresses The
plan was more than attractive. IL was
fascinating. School children took II up,
teachers followed suit boys and girls
at colleges. clerks. ministers. In fact
everybody who desired 10 make a little
extra money. They were merely re-
qured to sign their own name to the
letters.
The thing spread like wild fire. At
the end OF a week rush of mall filled
the hired desk. In ten days the firm
engaged a room and several clerks, In
two weeks the force was increased
A whole floor and 20 clerks were needed
In the third week; at he sixth two floors

looking for an entire building at the end
