First Literary Ventures.

The New York which he found after that
first journey to Europe had grown from
the little Dutch village of 10000 inhab-
itants in which he was born to gay little
city of $4,000 souls. Joyousy he entered
into its life. Admitted to the bar his
shingle was for a time displayed at No. 8
Wall street, his brother Johns house. but
that was as far as he ever went with the
law, finding much more fun in the COM
pany of certain young men of his own age
who talked literature and gave merry sup
pers in an old country house on the banks
of the Passaic River, the Cockloft Hall of
the "Salmagund" papers. "Salmagundi"
was a semi-monthly periodical which ran
through twenty numbers, something like
the famous Spectator of Joseph Addison,
and the young men who wrote for It
The New York herald., 1922-12-17

wrote in late life: My first voyage up the
Hudson was made in early boyhood, in the
good old times before steamboats, and rail-
roads had annihilated time and space and
driven all poetry and romance out of
travel A voyage to Albany then was equal
TO voyage to Europe at present, and took
almost as much time"
The dreamer at school continued 70 be
a dreamer in the law office, where he was
entered at 16. When he should have been
poring over briefs he was reading delight
full books, and in the evening when he was
supposed to be in bed he was very often
witnessing the play in the John Street
Theater in company with his friend Pauld-
ing. He was still only a youth, and a very
delicate youth at that At 10 he went into
the Office of Judge Josiah Ogden Hoffman
and that connection led to his intimacy
with the Hoffman home and the romance
which is one of the prettiest in all the
story of American literary men and
women.
In the meantime those who loved him
did not urge him to work too hard, realiz-
ing the dangerous state of his health. In
1904, when he became of age. his brothers
determined TO send him to Europe So
weak was he that he had to be helped up
the side of the sailing vessel which was
TO carry him to Bordeaux, and the captain
of the ship said to himself There's chap
who will go overheard before get
across" But that sea voyage was the
turning point in his physical life. For two
years he wandered through France. Italy,
the Netherlands and England, and then,
fully restored to health, he returned home
in February. 1906.

were doing their best to write in Addison's
style.
In 1909 appeared the work which made
Washington Irving at once a literary man
in Importance second to none other in the
land-the "Knickerbocker History of New
York" 1t was begun as kind of joke. to
make fun of a serious history of the city
which had just been published. Washing
ton Irving and his brother Peter started
the ball of its success rolling by sending
to New York newspaper, six weeks be-
fore the publication of the "Knickerbocker
History letters about an old Deidrich
knickerbocker who had strayed from New
York without paying for his lodgings,
about his having been seen on the way to
Albany, and the landlords final decision
to print manuscript which the old man
had left behind. and to apply the proceeds
to the unpaid bill The book thus adver-
tised gave delight to every one who read
it except those persons whose family name
happened to be Knickerbocker.
Fame had come to Washington Irving.
But almost at the same time came the
great sorrow that sent him on lonely
through the years. He loved and was loved
by Matilda Hoffman, the daughter of the
Judge Hoffman in whose Office he had
played at studying law. On the 26th of
April, 1909. she died, in the eighteenth year
of her age. He never mentioned the name
of Matilda even to his most intimate
friends, but, after his own DEATH fifty
years later. a package was found marked
Private" and in this package was found
a miniature of great beauty, inclosed in a
case, and in it a braid of fair hair, and a
slip of paper on which was written in his
own handwriting: Matilda Hoffman"

Long Years in Europe.

When, in 1872, we went to war with Eng
land for the second time. Washington
Irving wanted to fight, and for four
months he was Col. Irving, because of an
appointment on the military staff of Gov.
Tompkins of New York. But, happily per-
haps, he never got anywhere near battle
front, and when the war was over he went
to England, to visit his brother Peter and
try to help him in business affairs, and
then to settle down there to make his liv-
ing by his pen. Seventeen years were to
pass before he saw America again.
His first book after the "Knickerbocker
History was THE Sketch Book of Geof-
frey Crayon,' which was published in 1919.
In this book, written three thousand miles
away from home he turned back to his
native land for the two stories that have
made it forever world famous These were

He was born April 8, 1888, in two

about half way between Fulton and John.

brought to successful conclusion, and his
mother said: "Washington's work is ended
and the child shall be named for him" So
Washington Irving he was baptized, in the
chapel of st. George in Beekman street.
To his formal schooling there was not so
much. In his fourth year he was sent to
a school in Ann street, and from there
after two years he was transferred to an
other school at 1873 Fulton street, then 81
Partition street. Before he was 16 what

if in the early years there was little op-

hand were the Battery and the East and
North rivers, where at the wharves were
ships that stirred the boy to dreams of
remote lands. Then there was a delightful
voyage up the Hudson. which was perhaps
responsible for two of his most famous

LITTLE HOPE FOR
AVERTING A STRIKE
Operators Refuse to Go Into
Conference with Miners ON
Wage Demands.

WASHINGTON D. C.-Verv little
nope for the averting of a strike in
the unlonized bituminous coal fields
on April l was he'd out TODAY in those
official circles which are most con.
cerned with the repeated government
attempts to bring about an adjust
ment OF wage agreements. The mine
owners, 1T was declared, were con-
tinuing in their refusal to enter con-
ferences with the United Mine Work
ers looking to the creation of a new
wage contract for the central CON-
petitive field, not withstanding rep
reservations made to them by Secre-
tary of Labor Davis, who held that
existing contracts require them to at
least enter negotiations regarding of
whether such negotiations are carried
to completion.
The Uuited Mine Workers of Amer
lea, the general union organization,
was declared to be entirely willing t.
enter conference although insisting
upon the maintenance of the existing
wage scales, which were adopted in
1920. The employers are demanding
reductions amounting to 20 per cent
or more.
1t was indicated in officials circles
today that the government would go
no further at present but await the
development of the threatened strike.
The possibility of government inter
ference later, it was said by high
officials would be determined by the
degree to which the strike. if it de-
veloped, might affect adversely the
pubic welfare. Statistics assembled
for the labor department indicate
that 65,000,000 tons Of coal are now
in storage, approximately 10 weeks
supply for the country, that the
amount is rapidly being augmented
and non-union production is tending
to increase. Local agreements be-
tween the union and operators are
also to 60 into fleet on or before April
l., which will insure maintenance of
future operations.
