More than a hundred and twenty
centennials will occur in 1910 of the
birth of persons holding place in
major and minor halls OF fame. Nu-
merically, therefore, the centenaries
of the new year viii far surpass
those of the old. There win be for
observance, however, anniversaries
scarcely Of the Importance of those
bringing lately to mind the birth
and career of a Gladstone, a Tenny-
son, a Darwin, a Chopin, a Mendel-
sohn, a Poe and an Oliver Wendell
Holmes. The very multiplicity Of
dates gives point to the argument Of
Frederic Harrison, In the London
Times. that dignity would be better
served were we TO celebrate rather
the centennial of a great mans death
than that Of his birth. Then would
he be honored by a generation know
ing him only by lis works.
Among the hundred year birthdays
Of the January, that of jeremiah s.
Black, once encouragement, and
again secretary of state OF the United
States, attracted attention on the
10th. Willis Gaylord Clark and Lew
is Clark, two brothers, the n a
poet, the other physician and writer,
were born March 5, 1910. In March
also, with the exact day disputed,
comes the centenary OF McClockey,
the first American cardinal. April
4 completes the hundred years since
the birth of James Freeman Clarke,
the famous Unitarian preacher and
author, and the centenary date is
April IA for Justin S. Morrill,, leader
and senator.
Margaret Fuller was born May %,
1910. William Henry Charming, the
eloquent Unitarian, saw the light two
days later, The last day of May, a
hundred years ago, brought Horatio
Seymour Into the world, IN which
as governor Of New York and candi-
date for the presidency he was to
make a shining democratic mark.
Centenaries of July include, on the
9Th, that of the only P. T. Barnum;
on the 10th, that of Robert Toombs,
a great figure of the Confederacy;
August "a will bring another Unitar-
Ian centennial. that of Theodore
Parker. President Taft's father, AL
phonso, was born October 5, 1910. oc-
tober 10 win be the one-hundredth
anniversary OF CaseiusM Clay's birth.
November will bring the gentleman
les Of Ssa Gray, the botanist, and
Lucius Robinson, former democratic
governor of New York. A famous
name ON the hundred-year list OF De.
cember is that of Eli Burritt, 'the
