It is probably known TO very few that
the battered old four story dwelling now
standing at ~ Bond street is the house in
which Poe wrote THE Bells" Mrs. Maria
Shew lived there, and she was an intimate
friend Of Poe's wife and mother-in-law.
When Poe stayed in town overnight,
after his removal to Fordham, he was fire.
quently the guest Of the Shews in the Bond
street house. While visiting them on n
occasion he was taken i'll and the famous
DR.. John Francis, who lived in the same
block, was called In to attend him. The
next morning Poe was driven home to Ford
ham in Mrs. Shows carriage.
Poe was inspired to write sTbe Belle
after listening to church bells ringing one
Sunday evening in. the summer while visit
ing the Shews In Bond street. The room
In which Poe wrote the poem Is now used
for factory purposes.
One Of the great disappointments OF Poe's
life was the failure of his magazine, the
Byoodrdv journal, which survived only a
few months under his exclusive control.
This magazine was published in old Clinton
Hall, which stood OF the site Of the Temple
Court building in Bsekman street. Poe's
office was in the rear OF a store in the Nassau
street side of the ground floor.
At the northwest corner Of Ann and
Nassau street etill stands the building in

bob up with q new anne.
10f course most OF these young people
are simply taking back the names which
were borne by their grandfathers and great
grandfathers. but suspect that there are a
few enthusiasts with Englieh-eounding
names who are changing them into Irish
without regard to whether their ancestors
ever wore them that way or not.
Take the name Of johnson, for instance.
II is not at all uncommon In Ireland and the
chances are that the greater number Of
the Irish people who are bearing II to-day
got 1t direct from their ancestors. Never
theless ! have known at least one johnson
with no evidence that his ancestors ever
spelled the name any other way, to call
himself MaoSeaghan, for no other reason
than that "John' is 'S~eaghan' and Son.
Mac" In Irish.
III his name had been originally MacKeon
he would have had a valid claim to MaoSea-
CHAN as Keen is the corrupted spelling Of
'Seaghan.' but a IL was plain johnson as
far back as he could trace. he might almost
as well have called himself I~vanovitch,
except that his eympathies were Irish
instead OF Russian.
81 know Of one young Irish-American who
even went farther than that to prove him
self a true Gael. ] suppose tie legitimate
to translate your name into any lapglta 60
you please, but as this young fellows name
was plain Saxon, Arthur Hart, he simply
renamed himself entirely and called himself
Art Mac Art, after an ancient Irish hero.
In Ireland the tendency Of the people
TO restore their name to the ancient Gaelic
forms has resulted In considerable oonfu-
sion, and not long ago a Dublin magistrate
fined a contra tor for having his. name in
Gaelic on his carts as a violation Of the
ordinance providing that the names Of Nom
tractors must appear on their carts in legible
chars cters.
Even the babies are revived Celts nova
days. Who're you used to hear Of ReRinalds
and ~Gwendolens in Irish families you now
learn Of Cahals, Dermots, Cormscs and
Teigres and Brighids and Norahs and
Ellens and Kathleens and Eileens.
Even Mary and Patrick, the typical
ame Of Catholic Ireland, are being paesed
over for names that are characteristic of
the ancient pagan civilization, In token Of
the new feeling that the nation IL even

day was named Amity street. The stairway
and main hall and upper rooms Of the house
are pretty much the same now as they
were when Poe resided there.
Frances Sargent Osgood, the poet, tells
Of visiting the Poes in Amity street. He
formed the acquaintance Of many other
literary people at the time. Mrs. Sophie
M. C. Ever. widow Of the Rev. Ferdinand
G. Ever, remembers meeting Poe at the
literary soirtes given by Miss Anne Char
lotte Lynch In Waverley place and in Clinton
place, now West Eighth street.
Mrs. Ever. who at the time was Miss 8.
NJ. c. Congdon, lived with Miss Lynch, who
will perhaps be better remembered by many
New Workers. as the wife Of Prof. vincenzo
Botta. Mrs. Ever frequently saw Poe
walking along Broadway. He often went
to the old New York Hotel. which stood at
Broadway and Waverley place, where he
met Thomas holly Chivers, W. Gilmore
Simms and other friends from the South.
At a Valentines eve party, given by Miss
Lynch at her home In Clinton place in 1913,
Poe read an aorostio poem to Frances Sar-
gent Osgood. 1t is among Poe's published
poems.
During the last part Of Poe's residence
in the lower West Side Nathaniel Parker
Willis liyed at ies West Fourth street, where
Poe visited him. The house still stands
in it's original condition.
Poe frequently visited the Rev. orvfls
Dewey, n Of old New York's famous pull
pit orators. Dr.. Dewey hold literary reosp-
tions In the old triple baloonied dwelling
which stin stands at 11s West Eleventh
street, and Poe often was a guest there.
In the Society Library Building, which
stood at the southeast corner Of Broad
way and Leonard street, on Thursday even
ing, February s, IS4s, Poe delivered bis
lecture 'The Universe he was unable

she said, IF I live in New York for fifty
years"
Yet she frankly oonfesses now that she is
just about as indifferent herself and might
even put q stranger out Of her pew II she
was not in a good humor.
Another experience Of a stranger con-
neoted with a church showed the difference
in social customs that exist here. A woman
from a Southern town went to the church
Of a clergyman whom she had known for
manv years. He had had for many years
a parish in her native town. She Joined the
Woman'e Guild of the church al hie sug-
g~estion. Then she thought herself that
1t would be a very good way to make ac-
quaintances in New York.
Some Of the oldest families in the city
were represented on the parish list. They
were OF the kind, however, with which
this woman had q right to associate and
there was no suspicion Of climbing In her
attitude.

were about twenty women, F." she told after

quented. 1t was torn down a few years
ago when the park was laid out.
When Poe resided in Fordham he owned
a fine military o~vercoat with a large cape
thai he took with him when he was dis
missed from the West Point Military Acad-
envy many years before. Some village
loafer in Fordham stole this overooat from
Poe while he left it hanging over a chair in
a tavern.
Poe was highly incensed over the loss Of
the coat and went to Jacob Lorillard OF
the famous tobacco family, who wa a JUS
tice Of the peace, and demanded a warrant
for the arrest of the culprit. Not knowing
the name of the thief, Poe got a warrant,
duly signed by the Justice, with a blank
space for the thief's name when he learned
1t.
Poe eventually found both the thief and
the coat. 1t was the same military coat that
Poe wore at his wife's funeral and evidently
the only overcoat he had at the time.
Poe was o frequent visitor at the homo

70 10 hfty-dx years since Edgar Allan
Poe left his home In Fordham to return to
his boyhood home in Richmond, Va. He
bad lived here from 1874 to 184o.
Many persons have the idea that his en-
tire sojourn In the North was passed at Ford
ham. AS a matter Of fact he lived at Ford
ham during only the last three years Of that
period, from the spring Of 1S48 to the spring
Of ists.
On the Poe cottage In Fordham there is
Q sign stating that Poe lived there from
1874 to 1870. This has conveyed to some
visitors the mistaken impression that Poe
wrote "The Raven" there. This poem
was written In the farm house. Of Patrick
Brennan, which stood on a hill in What is
now West Eighty-fourth street, just west
Of Amsterdam avenue. Poe and his vito
boarded there during the summer and fall
Of 1874 and a part of 1e45.
The house was torn down in 1903. Over
the door OF the room in which Poe wrote
The Raven was a "pallid bust Of Pallas,"
1t rested On the ledge of a semi-circular
fanlight above the door and was stolen by
o relic hunter at a time when the old house
was vacant in its later years.
Capt. William Hemstreet Of BROOKLYN
owns the rnantelpieoe that was In the room
where The Raven" was written. He bought
It when the house was torn down.
II Is known that Poe lived In East Broad
way In the summer Of Is45, because he wrote
o letter to Thomas W. Fields on August
Q Of that year asking him to call at 1875
East Broadway. Richard Henry Stoddard
also tells Of visiting Poe at the same address.
The massive building Of tho Educational AL
hance now stands on the site Of the house.
During the fell Of 1s45 Poe removed to
the lower West Side Of the city, which was
then tho literary centre. Now occupied

yard In Fordham that the body Of Mrs,
Poe was laid. Mrs. Poe's body was many
years later removed to Baltimore to rest
beside Poe's body.
Mrs, GLENN continued to reside in the
Poe cottage for a time after Poe went South.
Before she left Fordham she sold or gave
away all the household effects in Poo's cot
tage. which we're meagre at best. Among
these things were the clock which stood over
Poe's writing table and an old fashioned
mahogany rocking chair which Poe used.
These came into the possession of the VAL
e%ntines, who also have a Bible that Poo
had in his little library.
