Goodrich is the only writer to vouch for
seems, to say the least, open to question.
There are many plausible conjeotures
as to Hudson's parentage, education and
early professional career, but all that has
been established by documentary evidence
relates to the period Of about -four years
and two months from April 10, 1907, to June
81, 1911, In the course Of which his four
historic voyages were undertaken.
Not even an autograph has been pre-
served. although some log books written
by him and certain other documents, Of an
official nature, have been preserved in
printed form by contemporary historians.
Meanwhile the City Hall portrait is prob
ably quite as true to the original as Wash

disooverer' was "a short, square, brawny

have referred to the nation as 1t has been
for, some twenty centuries-chained to
tradition, stagnant, asleep. Society was
stratihed; those in power seemed TO have
no higher aspiration than to live upon the
labor OF the masses, and the masses seemed
to entertain no thought Of emancipation.
=, The life Of the people was occupied with
ceremony, but there was nc genuine fell
lowship or sympathetic connection be-
tween them, outside OF the family tie, and
oven the family was likely to be a storm
centre because OF the conflicting interests
collected under one roof. Education was
monopolized by comparatively few, and
thsre was no breadth to such instruc-
ton as was given. Superstition took the
place Of religion and the ~placating OF the
spirits Of the deceased o~utweighed the
nurture and development Of those still

family and is Of undoubted originality
About forty years later an attempt to
trace the source of the painting was made
by Gen. Meredith Read, whose exhaustive
Historical Inquiry Concerning Henry
Hudson appeared in 1866. At his re-
quest David T. Valentine examined the
indexes TO the proceedings Of the Common
Council as far back as 1880, under every
imaginable head that would be likely to
reveal the name Of the donor but the search
disclosed no information whatever con-
corning the picture.
II any record of the origin Of the paint
ing existed, it would seem as if Mr.. Valen-
tine should bave been able to unearth it.
He was for many years clerk of the Com
mon Council, took a lively interest in every
thing that related to the early history Of
New York, and. as editor Of the famous
valentines Manuals came into touch

CULTIVATION OF OYSTERS.
Maryland Commission Preparing to
Have Barren Beds Replanted.

The Maryland shelIfsh commission Gre
ated at the last session of the Maryland
Legislature to devise plans for the planting
of oysters on the barren beds in Chesa-
peake bay and its tributaries in Maryland,
is about ready to begin work, and great
things are expected Of It. The commission
is mapping out plans for the separation of
the barren beds from those that are pro-
ductiye, and the former will be leased for
planting. Within three years, as evidenced
from experience in other states, they will
be filled with good-sized, marketable oys-
ters. and will bring considerable revenue
into the treasury of the state.
The shellfish commission will start sep
arating the barren from the productive
beds In that portion of the state lying on
the Eastern shore. just north Of the Vir-
ginia line, and the first section to be
mapped out will be the waters of Pocomoka
sound, from Cedar Island. north Of Little
Fox Island. to the mouth of the Pocomohe
river. The work will be carried on gen.
orally in northerly direction along Tan
gier sound to the waters in the vicinity Of
Crisfield.
Gradually all the oyster beds in the state
OF Maryland win be surveyed, including
those along the Potomac, from which this
city gets the bulk of Its oyster supply.
The result of this system, 1t Is expected,
will be seen within the next four or five
years in the increase In the supply and In
the hetterment of the quality of the oysters
taken from the beds in Chesapeake bay,
regarded as the finest oyster-growing wa
ters in the world. In the work of separa-
ton the Maryland authorities will have the
aid of the officials of the United States
coast survey and the experience of the
Virginia state fisheries board, which has
control of the oyster lands In the state of
Virginia and has large acreage under lease
in the rivers of the state and in lower
Chesapeake bay. AS many of the beds on
the Eastern shore run from Virginia to
rxlo md " ha
Virginia authorities will be called into
requisition by the Maryland commission.
