Schenectady, N. Y.--Plans are rap
idly being perfected at Union college
for the establishment of an elaborate
memorial In honor OF John Bigelow,
the author and diplomat, whose long
life of service ended in New York on
December 10, 1911. John Bigelow was
q Union man Of the class of 1885, and
WAS for many years the Oldest living
alumnus of the college. The memorial
is to take the form of a recitation hall
which win bear Mr.. Bigelow's name
and PROFESSIONALLY in political science.
and for these two purposes at least
100000 must be raised. A commit
tee, Of which Joseph H. Choate Is
chairman, has dedicated itself to the
raising Of this fund, and the circulars
calling for subscriptions will soon be
sent out.

chat the most fitting memorial would
be building erected on the campus of
his Alma Mater at Schenectady, N. Y,
with lecture halls and rooms devoted
to the studies he loved, history. poll
tics, and literature, and the establish
ment there In of John Bigelow pro-
fessorship Of political science. The
building would be named the John
Bigelow Memorial Hail. and would
stand ON the main avenue Of the col
lege grounds entered through the gate
way erected to the momory of John
Howard Payne, author Of Home,
Sweet Home, a member Of the class
Of 1910 at Union college.
aThe service Of John Bigelow to his
country in the dark days of the Civil
war should always be gratefully re-
membered. While William H. Seward,
his fellow-graduate OF Union college,
was managing brilliantly the affairs
of the department of state, John Bige-
low, as minister to France, was sue
cessful in the delicate task Of main
tanning our national credit in the
countries of Europe. Throughout the
whole Of his long life he devoted his
powers without stint to unselfish and
untiring effort in the service OF his
fellow-men.
He held a place in the esteem and
affection Of his countrymen held by no
other man, and when he died at the
age Of ninety-four his right to the IT,
tie of The First Citizen Of New York

that this plan win be received by many
as q welcome opportunity to serve at
once the double purpose Of stimulating

offered to install in the duma an ap-
paratus of his invention which is de-
signed by the mere pressure of but
ton, to render it impossible for any
deputy to rise to his feet. In this
way, Darkest Russia says, he claims

fans who occupy box seats either are

would walk down in front OF the
bleachers and engage In verbal
skirmish with the crowd, trying to
hold his own at rough repartee with
hundreds. He abused the crowd.

undeseryed victery upon the home
