OF THE OLD PURITAN STOCK
SUCCEEDS NELSON W. ALDRICH
By WILLIAM e. CURTIS.

81 WILLIAM E. CURTIS.
Special Correspondence Of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.
PROVIDENCE. r. l., August 81, 1911.
Henry Frederick Lippitt, the successor
OF Nelson w. Aldrich Of Rhode Island
In the Senate Of the United States, Is OF
a very different type from most Of the
recent accessions OF that exalted body.
He is as good a representative as could
be found Of the old Puritan stock. q
genuine Yankee and Of the class Of men
who have made New England what 1t is.
His strong character. his knowledge and
ability. his experience, judgment and re-
sourcefulness should give him a COM
manding position in the national legis-
lature. although he must naturally re-
gard with contempt the tactics Of the
demagogues which are being played so
strongly at present in order to affect the
next presidential election. He Is not a
politician, but a business man, and has
had q training and experience second to
none enjoyed by members Of either house
of Congress-. He is the possessor Of great
wealth, which has been made by manu-
featuring cotton cloth and by wise in
vestments. But his manners and habits
Of life are simple and unostentatious. He
is thorough gentleman Of the most Gull
tured class, and his integrity Is beyond
question. He is associated with the
strongest financial cncerns in Rhode Is
land. where his opinions and judgment
are regarded of the highest value.
The house in which Mr.. Lppitt lives,
No. $50 Benefit street, is a plain. dig
nified mansion Of gray stone standing
four square, with fiat roof and nine
large windows in each of three sides.
In the rear Is an extension for the kitch-
en- and the servants quarters. 1t occu-
pies the site upon which his first Ameri-
can ancestor. John Lippitt, who came to
Rhode Island with Roger Williams, built
q log cabin In 1888.

Two Governors In the Family.

Senator Lppitt's father was Governor
Of Rhode Island for several years in the
seventies. His brother was governor for
several years in the nineties. and was
once presented by the Rhode Island dele
CATION at q republican national conven-
ton as a candidate for Vice President.
Senator Lippitt's father was an aspirant
for the seat the son now holds In the
United States Senate. but was prevented
from realizing that ambition because he
was in q minority Of the party, which
was then controlled by the late nenry
B. Anthony. He made an active canvass
defeated by the late Gen. Ambrose e.
Burnside, and again by Jonathan Chace.
Several members Of the Lppitt family
have served in the legislature. and one
Of them has usually been sent in the
Rhode Island delegation to republican ma
tional conventions. They have always
been orthodox, high protection. sound
money republicans on national issues and
liberal contributors to campaign funds,
but now and then have been out Of har-
mony with the local machine. They have
been earnest, loyal supporters Of Sen
ator Aldrich. and Senator Lippitt has
been one Of his closest advisers.
Henry F. Lippitt has never before held
an office, except that Of honorary aid on
the staff Of his present colleague, Senator
George Peabody Wetm0re, when the lat
ter was Governor of Rhode Island. Nor
has he ever sought an office. He was not
q voluntary candidate for that which he
now holds, but was selected by the re-
publican machine ~ the fittest man to

Ambition to Be a Farmer.

x1AAD4IAOA " 0O q - o. A4ASAs
While his object in securing this place
was to have a cool and comfortable sum-
mer home in the neighborhood Of the
family factories that are under his SUI
pervision, he has always had an ambi-
ton to be a farmer and thus secured
an opportunity to crafty his taste. The
place was gradually extended by the
purchase of surrounding farms which had
been neglected for years and were very
much run down. The orchards were not
bearing and some Of the fields were al
most barren from the exhaustion OF the
soil.
careful cultivation Mr.. Iippitt has re-
stored the vitality OF the soil. He Is
producing the best apples or Rhode IS
land from trees forty and nifty years OLD
that had not borne fruit for q decade. and
has demonstrated that the farmers of
Rhode Island can grow fruits. grains and
vegetables with profit II they will go at
1t in a proper way. He has reclaimed
tract of swamp and made 1t a rose gar
den, and with the advice and assistance
of experts Of the forestry bureau at
Washington he is turning rocky pastures
into beautiful woodlands, SO that Dfa-
mond Hill, as his country place is called.
Is now beginning to pay back some of
the money he has invested in it, and is
also serving his purpose as an object les
son for other land owners in the state.
Senator Lippitt's ancestors have always
been manufacturers and have always
been successful. Each generation has
amassed large fortunes by saving the
difference in value between the raw cot
ton that went into their mills and the fin
ished fabrics that came out of them, and
investing the money with prudence and
sagacity. At the same time they have
shown due regard to their duties as eiti-
zens, have taken part in public anafrs
and in each generation representatives
of the family have held positions of
trust and responsibility, and have been
rewarded by honors conferred by their
fellnpn-fnWn Smen.

Assigned to CLONE Lot"

John hppitt was assigned one Of the
home LOTS Of Providence Plantation,
which now comprise the most valuable
residential property in the city. Each set
tier was given frontage on Narragan-
sett bay, near which his house was built,
with sufficient land behind 1t for pastur-
ing his cows and raising vegetables for
the use Of his family. BY curious COM
binatton of circumstances the property
passed out of the hands OF the Lppitt
family three generations ago, to return
again to the present generation through
the marriage Of Henry Lippitt to Mary
Louise Bowen, daughter Of the late
Tully D. Bowen, one OF the best known
merchants and manufacturers Of Provi-
dence during the last half Of the nine
teenth century.
Mrs Lippitt was a woman Of great at
fractions. Before her marriage she was
a recognized belle for several years
most popular ana admired matrons in
Providence, active in social. religious and
charitable affairs, hospitable. amiable
and unselflsh. Her death was almost
to the United States Senate last January
Hence he will not be expected to enter
the social life Of Washington.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lppitt had four children
The eldest son and namesake assumes his
which he has been carefully trained. The
younger son. John, is still at school, One
of the daughters is the wife of Mr.
George Sinnickson OF Philadelphia The
younger daughter, Miss Frances. Is al
home
While the family have usually spent
the winter months in the old mansion
at Providence. they prefer their country
home at Cumberland, about fifteen miles
from the city. where Mr.. Appitt has a
farm Of about 400 acres and a beautifully
situated villa. surrounded by gardens
greenhouses, orchards, pastures and fields

NAIL NOW COMES .
DAILY BY STAGE

Daily mail service is again enjoyed
by the citizens of Phoebe and this
has been obtained through an appeal
made to Senator George S. Nixon
By the Phoebe Commercial club.
The late washouts placed the Pi-
oche branch out OF commission /,
hence the regular transmission of
the mails by train on Mondays and
Thursdays was interferred with.
The Commercial club wired Sena-
tor Nixon regarding the situation
and he arranged ith wthe postoffice
department to have the stage
service augmented too seven times
week.
When traffic is resumed on the
railroad doubtless the old order ol
| things will prevail.
