One hundred years ago, 1913, was quiet year, comparatively, as to wars and rumors Cf wars, and, as would be right and proper, great year in its crop of births.
 Great Britain proclaimed the entire At lantic coast, except some of New England as under blockade; and congress put an embargo on all exports. Between the two American shipping should have been put out of business but it appears not to have been.
 The long famous Albany Argus was estab- lished, as was also Bostons first successful ally, the Daily Advertiser. The great names of birth record that year covered as wide range of human activity and reached as hi sh level of eminence as could vel be found in any one year. Henry Ward Beecher, James D. Dana, Stephen A. Ooue las John C. Fremont, Frank Hamilton Benson J. Losing David D. Porter and Al len G. Thurman-these are cert ainly name with which to conjure.
 Henry Ward Beecher may not have been Americas greatest preacher although most people will give him that place, as Is we'll attested by the
 act that his name (and the oniy preacher of the lot stands we'll up in the list of America's Hall of Fame But great he cer-
 ainly was, famous, and for short time, notorious as well.
 He was born June 24, 1913, at Litch-
 field, Conn, graduated at Amherst college, Mass, in 1884, studied theology under his father, Lyman Beecher, at Lane Theological eminary, near Cincinnati, and started ln
 he pastorate by two years in the little town of Lawrenceburg, Ind. And Lawrence ourg in time became famous did not like it-because of being set out with little
 no disguise in Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's From Dawn to Daylight an ac- count of her brothers struggle upwards in those first years.
 Mir Beecher served eight years in Indian dl)JllS anu dCtiull Ct lCpubdtiOA Iol ol o .ory, which was afterwards heard through out hte United States and England and
 stirred the whole world in behalf of free !cm for the Southern slaves During the Kansas ''free-soiI" agitation he openly coun- seled meeting force with force, and at the beginning of the civil war his church Plymouth raised and equipped a full regi- ment for service
 He was the first pastor of the Plymouth (Congregationalist| church, in Brooklyn, and preached there from lS47 till the time of his death in 1887. Besides being 8 great preacher, he was highly successful as lec- turer editor (the Christian Union) and writer upon many subjects, from fiction to sermons.
 In 1875 Theodore Hilton preferred the charge of adultery against him, the net re- suit of two trials being the acquittal of the famous divine, the addition to the current slang of the term "nest hiding" and to smutty literature of good though imprint able pun.
 One of the ridiculosities of literature crops up in his "Norwood" a story where sol dier with both arms shot off reaches up from his cot to embrace his sweetheart. who has come to the war hospital to see him.

Germany and England. Buchanan defeated him for the presidency, and in 1864 he with drew in favor of Lincoln, after getting a nomination. In the civil war he was given a commission as major general but resigned in 1862 rather than serve under Pope. His death came in 1890, too early for him to see his son, captain, do good service in the Spanish American war.
 Frank Hastings Hamilton,
 born in 1913, and died in 1886, was another son of Vermont, the town of his nativity being Wilmington. At l7 he was graduated from Union college, and at A was a full liedged M. D. from the University of Penn sylvania, and from then on held various i'm portant places in the medical world of sci ence. He is probably best known by his connection with the Bellevue Hospital col lege of New York city, anad his attendance upon Garfield after he had been struck by the assassin's bullet. For his time he was a highly skilled operative surgeon, but his fame rests mostly upon his medical works of which he is the author of some half dozen, all standard authorities to this day
