A QUESTION OF AUTHORSHIP.

From Notes and Queries in the Boston Tran
script
8749. Since no one has answered this
query satisfactorily, let me tell what
know of the poem beginning:
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung
In the spring of 1882 l became &C.
quainted with a Miss Monnie, who had
recently come to Pittsburg, Pa, from
New York city. She presented to me
the poem mentioned above, printed on a
blank slip of paper, as for private distri-
button, and told me that her sister had
written the poem. If l remember cor
rectly the author was then living in New
York, and think married or about to be.
F. v.
This confirms the statement of the
Granger Index that Ella M. (Monnie)
Moore is the author. Mrs. Moore's name
is Ella Maud Moore. The others whose
names are mentioned in connection with
the poem are Will S. Faris, Professor
Edward H. Rice and John Byron. E. R.
C. sends pleasant note in which he says
that some years ago, while he was editor
of the Danbury Conn News, he investi-
gated the matter and was convinced that
Mrs. Moore was the author. E. R. C.
further states that the weakness of
Faris's allegation that he wrote the poem
was shown in The Christian at Work, of
New York. DR.. Talmage's paper, by
Marshall H. Bright, its managing editor.
Our correspondent adds: 'These ordinary
but popular lines have had wide cur
rency. The author is the wife of Hon.
Joseph E. Moore of Thomaston, Me-, and,
l think, relative of Charles Copeland,
the marine painter. She has written
verses much better than Rock of Ages,
and in prize competition in prose in the
Youths Companion in the eighties she
brought out pathetic domestic sketch
of New England life for which she was
awarded large sum-.
1t is interesting to note in connection
with the above that one correspondent
thought that DR.. Talmage was the au
thority who gave John Byron as the
author. And it is also interesting to note
that when E. r. C. was making his in
vestigations for the Danbury News he
did not find anyone claiming that Toplady
was the author.

Pile. l never thought of It before, but

the country folks of Chesterfield coun-
~ would rather do their trading In
Manchester than in Richmond. They
can drive to town and trade without
having to cross a bridge on which
street cars are liable to brighten
country horses and where automobiles
do brighten them anyhow. OF course.
country people are little too easily
frightened, but all the same they in
sist upon being scared up, and as
long as they so insist Manchester, or
Washington Ward, Is quick enough to
make the best OF the situation.
Altogether. Manchester does ire
mendous retail business with the good
folks of Chesterfield county. and
Washington Ward will continue to do
that kind of business as long as James
River runs down hill.
Such, in brief. Is the Manchester Of
to-day. The Washington Ward of
Greater Richmond will be bigger and
mightier than was the Manchester of
old That is what the people think.
otherwise they would not have voted
so largely for annexation. Manches-
ter has always had big inducements
to offer TO manufacturers in search Of
sites for big business. Washington
Ward OF Richmond has even bigger
inducements to offer. Washington
Ward is going to be the manufactur-
ing centre Of the great manufacturing
South. Greater Richmond owes that
thing to faded Manchester. Greater
Richmond will pay its debt.

Now, OF course. all OF this increase

tered condition the same did not show
up in the census figures to Greater
Richmond's good, and so Mr.. Dabney
argued "a above set forth. And then
he came down to strictly business
consideration OF the whole situation.
He recognized the fact that Richmond
as It then stood was getting little
crowded and he spoke right out in
meeting as follows:
Two have little ground within our
present territory providing econonni-
cal facilities for large manufacturing
plants, and that which remains Is very
high. Especially Is there a scarcity of
desirable location for two OF our prin-
cipal industries, namely, woodworking
and iron. Many industries In our city,
rapidly growing. need more ground
and increased facilities; their growth
is retarded by Richmond's present con-
dition.
1T cannot be denied that the great
er portion of manufactured products
and commodities handled are distri-
buted throughout the South: hence the
necessity for such interest being con-
veniently located as near as possible
to the roads traversing this territory,
anording quick and cheaper facilities
for loading and distributing.

sales last year were s69,O00.0oo. an
increase of per cent. over the pre-
vious year, and of 90 per cent In ten

jobbing trade of this city keeps on
expanding. All kinds of goods that
humanity has to use are wholesaled
from Richmond. the leaders being
groceries, including confectioneries.
cigars and tobacco; provisions, shoes
and dry goods and notions.
The retail business OF Richmond has
grown even more rapidly than the
jobbing trade within the last decade.
1t has enjoyed phenomenal growth
within the past five years. 1t is a
common remark of travellers passing
through the city. and strangers with
in the gates. that the department
stores OF Richmond. which are among
the largest in the entire South, are
equal in appointment and service to
the leading stores of the North. The
quality of merchandise demanded by.
the people of this city is equal to
that OF any city in the country, and
it is the centre of a large mail order
trade from the surrounding territory.
This mail order business Is becoming
a tremendous factor in increasing the
volume OF trade in Richmond.

One of the strong points made by
the annexationists was that Richmond
needed more room to spread out its
manufacturing enterprises. That was
and is, true. and Greater Richmond is
going to spread along this line. but
