was almost completely isolated from
Manhattan. However, even then the
city manifested q distinct spirit Of
progress and growth SO Choate wri.ae
60 his sister in 1858:
Nothing surprises me more IN New
York than to see how the city IS con.
stanIly being rebuilt even those mart.

buildings which were themselves quite
respectable are being demolished and
every day some other one hecins TO
disappear, and If all the changes there
which have been contemplated and
commenced are completed during the
season they will make quite street
Of II before next winter"
Choate's letters during the Civil
War reflect the changing fortunes Of
the struggle quite vividly lie de-
scribes the draft riots Of 1863 at
some length and expresses hot indigna-
ton at the lax attitude Of the civil
authorities Even in the days Of the
Civil War New York City was the
scene Of constant political battles be-
tween Tammany Hall and the Republi-
cans and reformers Choate took
sides in this contest very early. In 1886
he refers to Fernando Wood, the Tam
many Mayor, as "one of the most un-
principled rascals that popular cleo
ton has ever thrown to the surface Of
things" This was only the prelude to
his long, unremitting struggle to oust
the Tammany forces from the control
of the cit administration.
Mr.. Choate married Miss Carrie D.
Sterling In 1864. From that time on
many Of his letters are chiefly occupied
with domestic affairs His affection
for his wife and children is steady
and unbroken He almost Invariably
recalls certain tender and sacred an
niversaries, such ss his marriage and
the death Of his oldest son. who died
suddenly Of spoplexy while still very
young man. In 1882 he sends this sig
nifcant note to his son George:
81 have just received your semi-an-
nual report, which gives you an aver
age Of seventy-seven and half. which
next year shall expect you to raise
at least to eighty and half"
The following intimate picture Of
family life appears in letter to his
wife:
I'VE are variously engaged st this
moment after our Sunday tea. Carl is
drumming on the piano; Mabel Is read
ing 'Peveril of the Peak and George IS
resting from seven hours pull that

reading the whole Of the fourth book,
which he was bound to have ready 90
morrow and seemed to have neglected,
Not having had our usual ride to-
day, George and l took sprint in the
park on foot before supper"
In addition to his extensive and i'm
portant legal practice, Mr. Choate al
ways found time to play an active part
il, political life. He furnished valu-
able assistance in exposing and bring
ing to justice the notorious Tweed
Ring, which plundered the city in such
b&refaced fashion after the Civil War.
IL 1898 he worked hard for the cleo

Sir Choate was appointed Ambas-
sador to England by President McKin-
ley IN 1899 His success in this post
vas noteworthy. An American Of Eng
Esh descent. he sympathized with the
English national temperament and
i1eals; and labored constantly for a
better understanding between the two
countries tie was extremely popular
IN EngfAnd; and he received number
OF congratulatory messages from Pres
idents Mckinley and Roosevelt and from
Secretary Of State Hay At times he
chaied little under the restraint i'm
posed by his diplomatic position. He
writes TO his brother William:
II find the post Of Ambassador q
very pleasant one, but there ism, work
enough in 1t 20 satisfy the cravings Of
one who has practiced law for fortv
years IN America. There are a great
many functions and aplenty of social
duties, and often find myself yearn-
ing for good old-fashloncd contesr in
court. Then an AMBASSADOR is practl-
cally tonguc-tied, and can never speak
his mind"
But on the whole he seemed to have
acquitted himself Of the Functions and
scclal duties very we'll Letter after
letter describes parties and balls and
receptions, formal and informal. A
personality is often hit of in couplo
OF sentences:
"Winston Churchill went up and re-
turned with us-talked all the time and
was moas amusing. He IS brimming
over with enthusiasm Of youth, knows
IL all on every subject and seemed
10 think his opinion entitled to weight
rs against Us all. But he was great
fun"

there is capital sketch Of q visit to
George Meredith

MEN AND WOMEN TO
 MARCH IN PARADE
And Republicans Also Have Young
 Cannon to Aid in Celebration

Everything is in apple pie" order for the republican parade tonight Chairman Al Marsh of the telephone committed" announced today that Alfred Thompson would be the grand marshal and that he would have a corps of efficient aides to assist him in uncorking the first big celebration that the republicans have had in 12 years The list of aides for Colonel Thompson's benefit as we'll as the Herbert Brann, Clifford Hellberg, Maurice H. Pease, Daniel Fitzpatrick, Albert Greenberg, Howard A. Tim breli. William H. Jackson. Stanley Traceski. and Louis Hartman.
 The meeting places for the various wards are: First Ward. Franklin Square; Second ward, Park at Main street; Third ward, Walnut at Main street; Fourth ward, Elm at Main street; Fifth ward, Washington at West Main street; Sixth ward, Elm at East Main street. All marchers are requested to be at their respective places at about : o'clock and the aides will reward them by giving them a nice stick of red-firc.
 As a special treat to the women for marching. the general committee has secured a number of noise ma king machines which resemble a one-note bagpipe. The women are especially fortunate in getting one of these af- fairs, for at the last minute one of the local powers in c. O. P. politics decided that they would make too much noise and the aides could not be heard. He was ruled out of order, however, and the little machines will be there this evening.
 William Squire will have charge of the gun to boom forth the tidings of a Harding victory. The republican town committee announces that it will be necessary to draft about five men to haul it around, and 'tis ru- mored that Al Marsh has the list up his sleeve for reference. To add to the general confusion, the factories have been asked to have the whistles blown.
 The parade is sched uled to start at 1880 D. m. and it will try to touch every ward in the city. Up until a late hour this afternoon but two bands aid a drum corps had been hired with The prospects of few re- porting for duty the last minute. There will be a High school division and a Grammar school division, and

Many Men in This City Caught By
 Exceedingly Rapid.

X freak bet which has been going the rounds in town today has eaten to 1t that the average betting man would do we'll to think about. The one making the statement goes into a general discussion about the labor situation and ends up by making the statement that in four months after Harding takes office every factory in New Britain will close down. After receiving the abuse of his listener, he wishes to bet on the statement. Of course. he gets odds, especially if ho puts on a sheepish expression for making such a statement. The bet is placed in the hands of a holder, and the gentleman simply states that four months after Harding goes into office is the Fourth of July.
