A monument to the memory of
Edgar Allen Poe. the gift of The
public school teachers Of
Whitman Baltimore, was unveiled
nm Poe in that city 90 years ago
VA The Star, commenting on
the occasion in its issue of November
IS, 1875, says:
About the most significant part
of the Poe ceremonies yesterday
which only a crowded and remarkably
magnetic audience of the very best
class of young pepole, women pre-
ponderating, prevented from growing
tedious-was the marked absence
from the spot of every popular poet
and author, American and foreign.
Only Walt Whitman was present.
Being in Washington on visit al
the time. the old gray went over to
Baltimore, and though i'll from paraly
sis consented TO hobble up and silently
take a seat on the platform, but re
fused to make any speech, saying.
i have felt a strong impulse to come
over and be here today myself in
memory of Poe. which l have obeyed:
but not the slightest impulse to make
a speech, which, my dear friends.
must also be obeyed.
"In an informal circle, however, in
conversation after the ceremonies,
Whitman said: For long while, and
until lately, / had a distaste for Poe's
writings. l wanted and still want for
poetry the clear sun shining and fresh
air blowing-the strength and power
of health, not of delirium, even amid
the stornliest passions-with always
the background of the eternal morali-
ties. Non-complying with these re
quirements. Poe's genius has yet con
quered a special recognition for itself
and l. too, have come to fully admit
it, and to appreciate 1t and him. Even
my own objections draw me TO him
at last; and those very points, with
his sad fate. will make him dearer
to young and fervid minds.
In a dream I once had I saw a
vessel on the sea. at midnight, in a
storm. 1t was no great full-rigged
ship nor majestic steamer, steering
firmly through the gale, but seemed
one of those superb little schooner
yachts I had often seen lying anchor
ed, rocking so jauntily, in the waters
around New York or up Long Island
Sound, now flying uncontrolled with
, torn sails and broken spars through
the wild sweep of winds and waves
of the night. On deck was a slender.
slight, beautiful figure, a dim man.

X X
Half century ago the boys OF
Washington were much more addicted
to the sling shot, or
Sling Shot bean shooter" than it
Nu;sance would seem they are to-
Nulsahoo' day. In The Star of
November 20, 1875, is a protest against
the promiscuous use of these weapons.
Perhaps as good a work as the
police could enter upon just now
would be to put stop to the use
of the dangerous sling shot by the
juveniles. The boys have got so reck.
less and expert in the use of this
weapon that they are not only doing
a great amount of wanton mischief.
but are destroying valuable property
and even endangering life."

"Of course. New dress. Look
angelic. All dolled even TO the
shoes. Huh-all alike, aren't we all
slaves when a fellow like Jake snaps
his fingers!'
Chickie's eyes kept up their smile;
her lips parted; she was afraid TO
speak-afraid of the tickling at her
throat. Janina laughed-soft, bit
ing. She said, with her eyes mock
ing. 'I'l say they're worth it"
The men were comm over. Jake
was smiling-at her. He lowered
over the others. Ida Larkin's hus-
banda slight, very natty man ana
the other, dumpy, rotund, little rel
low with merry eyes, red face, halr'
bald. They called him "Nicky.'
Every one was very affectionate
TO Nicky. In return, he dispensed
favors and smiles without discrim-
nation
Nicky, as it happened, was one OF
those agreeable, sociable old bach
elors, who fight shy of marriage all
their lives-more persistently than
others-and in escaping being cap
tured by one woman, they are used,
abused and laughed at by all the
others.
He went wagging along now at the
side of Jake Chickie wondered II
he was to be her partner. Old fellow
of 40. She felt a little twinge or
contempt. Then Jake offered his

was greeted like king, and a half
dozen tables with faces of women,

proud to be acknowledged by this
great, splendid fellow.
Chickies pulse beat rapidly with
citation. She forgot Janina and her

through an atmosphere that

sparkled. She felt herself charged,

Janina, sitting at Jake's left,
leaned forward pushing a small cup
toward him. Fill it, Jake. but
don't promise rashly. Chickie is
young and innocent. She'll believe
you. Remember new violets every
year, Jakew
He gave her a quick, hooking
glance, poured clear golden liquor
into her little cup. But he looked
fully at Chickie saying. with his red
lips laughing: 1--WE drink to the

He took a sip, passed the cup to

His laugh rang out: "Oh-so ia

them at the stake. Well, there
