DONE in PHILADELPHIA

MISS MARY e. PHILLIPS, of Boston,
1Vl who has been here for a few days in
preliminary research for her biography Of
Poe, told me that her life of Fenimore
Cooper which she published last year, had
required seven years of travel and research,
and that when the book was ready for the
press it had cost, on an average, more than
s2l a page. AS there were 400 pages in that
very excellent biography Of the author of the
Misunderstanding Tales, the reader who is
quick at figures will note that it is not
always profitable undertaking to write
book.
In the course of conversation had with
Miss Phillips she made several remarks
about Poe that surprised me. Probably the
most astonishing was that the Poe family
had declared to her that of all the biog
raphes of the author Of THE Raven to be
found on library shelves, not one really was
authentic. Evidently, we shall have to study
the subject all over again.

But never go b your desk without fully ex-

The motive of the advice was plain. The
merchant had clearly brought out the vast
difference between sitting around and watt

Waiting is a passive process; looking

DOE was also a frequent visitor to the
i home of Henry b. Hrst, who lived in a
house that stood on Sixth street below
Chestnut, but was effaced In 1866, when the
PUBLIC LEDGER Building was erected ON the
site. The old Fairmount Reservoir, where
just a week before his end in Baltimore, Poe
showing signs Of nervous strain and excite
ment and accompanied by Sartain, spent
part of night has been transformed. Sar-
tain went with the poet to quiet his fears Of
assassination and to protect him against his
fancied dangers.
There seems to be little of Poes Phtadel-
phia remaining, but what there is has not
attracted the attention it probably deserves
for the city has cause to be proud of having
had the poet for a citizen, even if it was for
only five years of his brief life.

a great deal of interesting material about
this period of his life that awaits the indus

Unfortunately there does not appear to be
more than one residence of the poets re-
naming that may have any claim to the
attention of the investigator. This is the
small back building to the house at Seventh
and Brandywine streets. Some claims have
been made for a building at 25th street and
Fairmount avenue, but without much evil
dence it seems.

of Moravian and Dock streets the building
