PREFACE.
THE "BiograpJiical Annals of Ohio" is tlie outcome of efforts to
preserve in ready reference form tlie names and history of the
men who have served the State. In 1888-1892, Col. William
A. Taylor, a well-known journalist, collected from official sources much
of the matter which appears within these covers and published as a pri-
vate enterprise "The Ohio Statesman and Hundred Year Book." The
General Asisemhly purchased end distributed an edition of 7,500
copies. In 1896-98 a revised edition under the name of the "Ohio
Statesman and Annals of Progress" was prepared by Col. Taylor. The
State through an act of the General Assembly purchased the manuscript
and copyright of the work and printed for gratuitous distribution an
edition of 9,500 copies.
In 1900-1901 another revision, prepared under direction of the
General Assembly by Mr. E. H. Gilkey was published under the name
of the Hundred Year Book.
The Act of May 12, 1902, contemplates the publication of a work
of this character biennially under the name of "The
Biographical Annals of Ohio." In order that the series may be com-
plete the matter heretofore published is reprinted in this volume cover-
ing the biographical history of Ohio from the formation of the I^orth-
west Territory in 1787 to July 1, 1902. It is not presumed that this
matter will be reprinted.
The present compilers make no claim to originality or authorship.
They acknowledge their obligations to Col. Taylor, Mr. Gilkey and the
others who have contributed hours of research and labor to the sum of
this result.

THE DECLARATIOiN OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
In- Confederate Congress^ July 4th ^ 177 G.
THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN STATES OF AMERICA.
WHEN in tihe course of Inimiaii ovents it becomes necessary for oaie
peofple to dissolve tlie political bands wliiicli have coimected
them w*ith another, and to assume among the Powers of the
earth, the separate and. equal station to which the Laws of Na1;ure anid of
Nature^s God entitle them, a dlecent respect to the opinions of mankind re-
quires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the sepa-
ration .
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
that thej are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That
to secure these rights G-ovemments are instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consen't of the governed. That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is theKightof
the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying
its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form;
as to them shall seem mjo^st likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should
not be changed for light and transient causes ; and accordingly all experi-
ence hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils
are sufferiable, than to right themiselves by aJbolishing the forms to which
they are accustomed. But when a long train of usages and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to pi^ovide new Guards for their future security. Such
has been the patient sufferance of these colonies ; and such is now the
necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Govern-
ment. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in -direct object the estab-
lishment of an lalbsolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let
Facts be submitted to a candid world .
He has refused his Asseoit to liaws, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and
pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent
should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to
attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large

diistricts ocf people, unless those people would relinquisili the right of Rep-
resentation in the Legislature, a right inestimaible to them land' fortmidable
to tyrants only .
He has called together legislative b'oidies at places unusual, uncom-
fortaible, land distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the
sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing witlh
manly firaiiness his linvasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause
others to be elected; Whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Anni-
hilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State
remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from
without, anid convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that
purpose obstructing ithe Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners ; refusing to
pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions
of new AppTopTiations of Land's.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his
Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of
their offices, and the amount and payme-nt of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms
of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace. Standing Armies, without
the Consent of our le-gislature .
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior
to the civil power.
He has combined with others tio subject us to a jurisdiotioai foreign
to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his Assent
to their Acts of pretended Legislation :
For quartering large bodies of 'armed troops among us:
For protecting them by a moick trial, from punishment for any
Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States :
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world :
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for preten.ded offenses :
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring
Province, establishing therein am Arbitrary government, and enlarging its
Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for
introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolish our most valuable Laws, and
altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. ^^
The Declaration of Independence.
For suspending our own Legisla'tures, and declqj'ing themselves in-
vested with Power to legislate for us in all eases wihatsoever.
He has ahdioated Government here, hy declaring us out of his pro-
tection anid waging war againsft us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns and
destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transportiaiig large armies of mercenaries to com-
plete the woirks of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with
circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely parallelled in the most bar-
barous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high
Seas to bear arms against their Country, to become the executioners of
their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrection amongst us, and has endeav-
oured to bring on the inhabitiajn'ts of our frontiers, the mei-eiless Imidian
Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction
of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered by
repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, lis unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren,. We
have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them
of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred to (disavow these usurpiations ,
which would inevitably interrupt our connectionis and our correspondence.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity . We
must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separa-
tion, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind. Enemies in War,
in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America,
in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by
Authority of the Good people of these Colondes, solemnly publish and
declare. That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free
and Independent States; and that they are Absolved from all Allegiance
to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and
the State of Great Britain:, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that
as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, con-
elud'e Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other
Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for

Note. — ^Prior to the Denlaralior of Independence, and on the 12th day of
the preceding month, a connnibtee was appointed by the Continental Congress, "to
prepare and digest the form of a confederation to be entered into between these
colonies." The report of the committee was made on the 12th of July, and printed
copies placed in the hands of niember^ of the congress for their secret examination.
For two years T>he articles were under discussion by the members of the several
state legislatures to whom copies were sent by the new government, and on the
9th of July, 1778, the representatives in congress of the States of New Hampshire,
Massachusetts Bay, Ilhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New
York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and South Carolina, signed the form above which
had been agreed upon. To those states whose delegates being absent or uncertain
of their power, did not sign the form at this time. Congress addressed a request
for action with all convenient dispatch. North Carolina ratified the Act on the
21st of July, and Georgia on the ^AWx of the same month, thus giving the assent of
ten states to the instrument. The remaining ratiflcations were given; by New Jer-
sey, November 2G, 1778; by Delaware, May 5, 1779; and by Maryland, March 1,
1781.
Congress assembled under the Act of Confederation, March 2, 1781, the day

Who was the Author of the Obdinance of 1787"? — "There has been some
diversity of opinion as to the individual to whom the honor of the paternity of that
document rightfully belongs. Soine have claimed it for Mr. Jefferson, though he
did not claim it himself. The honor of drafting that instrument, on which the con-
stitutions of all the northwestern states are founded, belongs of right to Nathan
Dane, a revolutionary patriot of Massachusetts. He was its author, — he reported it
to Congress and persevered in explaining, and impressing it on their attention till
they became satisfied of its merits and adopted it by a unanimous vote, Mr. Jeffer-

RUTHERFORD BIRCHARD HAYES.
Rutherford Birchard Hayes, nineteenth president of the United States, was born
at Delaware, Ohio, October 4, 1822; graduated at Kenyon College, Ohio, in 1842, and at
Harvard Law School in 1845 ; began the practice of law at Fremont, Ohio ; removed to
Cincinnati in 1849; was city solicitor from 1858 to 1861; was appointed, June 27, 1863,
major Iwcnly-third Ohio Volunteers, of which W. S. Rosecrans was the first colonel and
Stanley Matthews (afterwards justice U. S. Supreme Court) lieutenant-colonel. He was
promoted i.ieuteuant-colonel October 24, 1861, from which date he commanded the Twenty
third until December, 1862. In the brilliant action of South Mountain (1862) he received
a severe wound in the left arm which compelled him to leave the field. A^ter the battle
of Aatietam the regiment was returned to West Virginia, where, November 30, 1862, he
rejoined it as colonel, having been promoted October 24. He was commissioned brigadier-
general of volunteers, to date from the battle of Cedar Creek, at the close of which he
received news of his election to Congress from the second district of Ohio ; was made
brevet major-general for gallant services, and resigned from the army June 1, 1865. In
December he took his seat in Congress ; was re-elected in 1866, but left his seat in 1867,
having been nominated for governor of Ohio, to which office he was elected in October and
re-elected in 1S6D. In 1872 he suffered his first defeat for Congress. In 1875 he reluctantly
txinsented to allow his name to be used once more as a candidate for governor, and was
olected for a third time, an honor never before conferred on a citizen of Ohio. On June
IG, 1876, he was nominated at Cincinnati for president of the United States, on the Re-
publican ticket, GO the seventh ballot, receiving 384 votes, to 351 for J. G. Blaine, and 21
for B. H. I'ristow. The ensuing canvass, which was bitter and exciting, was closed by
a disputed election, the electoral votes of Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana, and
ons of those of Oregon being claimed by both parties. The Presidential Electoral Com-
mission nunounced, March 2, 1877, that he had been duly elected president of the United
States. The inauguration ceremonies took place on March 5. During the four years of
his office the afiairs of the government were conducted in a manner that will command
the favorab'e judgment of history. Died at Fremont, Ohio, January 17, 1893.

find its proper consideration at this point. The first session of
the Second (and last) Territorial Legislature, was adjourned by Gov-
ernor St. Clair in January, 1802, to meet in Cincinnati, November
29. The Congress, by an act of April 30, 1802, provided for the elec-
tion of members of a convention which should:
Eirst. Decide on the desirability of forming a state govern-
ment, and
Second.| Erame the constitution for the state should the conven-
tion decide the first question affirmatively.
This convention met in Chillicothe on Monday, November 1,
four weeks prior to the time set for the convening of the Second Ter-
ritorial Legislature in its second session, and on the day appointed for
the legislature to meet, promulgated the Eirst Constitution of the
State of Ohio.
Many members of the territorial legislature were members of this
first constitutional convention, and the following notes from the Journal
of that convention are republished as matters of history:

Cutler voted in the negative.
Note. — "Although more than a fourth of the members comprising the body
had expressed their opinion in very decided terms against the expediency of the
measure, and agamHt the manner of its accomplishment, yet the resolution was
carried. * * * Judge Cutler, an indomitable Whig, of Washington County, voting in
the negative, solitary and alone. ( Burnett's Notes on the Northwest Territory, p.
862-3.)
A resolution was adopted requesting the governor to prorogue the
territorial legislature which had adjourned in January last, to meet in
Cincinnati on the fourth Monday of the present month. But this was
not done, as the members of the legislature, many of whom were in
convention, manifested no disposition to interfere with the progread
of the Territory toward statehood. (See Burnett quoted.)
ITathaniel Willis was elected printer to the Convention, on the
terms of his proposition to print 700 copies of the Journal of Conven-
tion, and 1,000 copies of the constituition then being framed.
A resolution to submit the proposed constitution to the people is
found on page 15 of the Journal. It was disagreed to by the vote of 27
to 7, and the constitution was not submitted to the people, but was put
in operation by the act of the delegates to the convention in fonnally
signing the instrument in their representative capacity.

after its adoption, was defeated — yeas 3, nays 31.
A proposition to strike out of the bill of rights that part of the
second section relating to servitude of adult persons not negroes or
mulattoes, was defeated by a vote of 12 to 21.
A proposition to strike out that part of the same section which
forbids slavery or involuntary servitude in this state, was defeated
overwhelmingly, by a vote of yeas 2, nays 31.
Messrs. Paul and Iteily, of Hamilton County, voted in favor of the
proposition. (See Journal, p. 26; iN'ovember 20, 1802.)
A proposition to amend the third section of the bill of rights by
striking out (the words "no religious test shall be required," etc., and
inserting words to the effect that no person who denies the being of a
God, or a place of future rewards and punishments, shall hold office
in the civil government, was lost^ — ^yeas 3, nays 30.
In considering Article 4, on the twenty-second of E'ovember, the
Convention voted — ^yeas 19, nays 15 — to add these words to the end of
the article:
"Provided, that all male negroes and mulattoes, now residing in
this territory, shall be entitled to the right of suffrage, if they shall
within twelve months make a record of their citizenship."
As this is oneof the earliest records of an attempt to give the
right of suffrage to the negro in America, the vote on that proposition
is interesiting. Those who voted aye were : Abbot, Byrd, Cutler, Darlin-
ton, Dunlavy, Gatch, Gilman, Goforth, Grubb, Kitchel, Morrow, Paul,
Putnam, Reily, Sargent, Smith, Updegraff, Wells and Wilson^ — 19.
Those who voted in the negative were : Abrams, Baldwin, Bair, Browne.
Caldwell, Carpenter, Donaldson, Humphrey, Huntington, Kirker, Mc-
Intire, Massie, Milligan, Woods and Worthington- — 15.
At the same time the Convention refused, by a vote of 17 to 16, to
extend the right of suffrage to the male descendants of such negro
residents.
A motion was made to add to the seventh article of the constitution
a new secition, as follows :
"Section 7. l^o negro or mulatto shall ever be eligible to any
office, civil, or military, or give their oath in any court of justice againsc
a white person, be subject to do military duty, or pay a poll tax in this
state; provided always, and it is fully understood and declared, that

all negroes and mnlattoes, now in, or who may hereafter reside in this
state, shall be entitled to all the privileges of citizens of this state, not
excepted by this constitution."
This was agreed to by a vote of — yeas 19, nays 16 — as follows:
Yeas^ — Abrams, Baldwin, Bair, Byrd, Caldwell, Carpenter, Dar-
linton, Donaldson, 'Grnbb, Hnniphrey, Kirker, Massie, Mclntire, Mil-
ligan, Morrow, Smith, Tiffin, Woods and Worthington — 19.
N'ays — Abbot, Browne Cutler, Gatch, Gilman, Goforth, Hunt-
ington, Kitchel, Paul, Putnam, Reily, Sargent, Updegraff, Wells and
Wilson — 15.
On Friday, J^ovember 26, in considering Article IV, a motion
was made to strike out the provision which had been inserted on the
twenty-second, giving right of suffrage to megroes and mulattoes who
would prove their residence within twelve months. On this motion
the yeas and nays were taken and resulted, 17 to 17. There being
a tie vote, the president of the Convention (Edward Tiffin, afterward
governor of the State) voted in the affirmative, and the proposition
was stricken from the first constitution of the state. The change of
front was brought about by the vote of the president and of the Messrs.
Darlinton, Grubb and Smith, who had previously voted to add this pro-
vision to the constitution. On the other hand, Mr. Browne, who had
voted against the proposition in the first instance now voted to reitain
it as a part of the organic law of the state. (P. 34.) Mr. Donaldson,
who had opposed the proposition on the twenty-second, refrained from
voting on the question as now presen^ted.
A proposition was made to strike out the fifth section of Article
IV, relating to labor on roads, and its relation to an elector's qualifica-
tions, which was defeated by a vote of 13 to 21.
A provision in Article VII, Section 3, ithat ^^no new county shall
be established by the legislature, which is not entitled by its numbers
to a representative," was stricken out by a vote of 22 to 12.
An effort to make the minimum number of square miles in a
county five hundred instead of four hundred was defeajted, 11 to 23.
A motion to strike out the section (7) added to Article VII on the
twenty ^second, in relation to the bar to negroes in office, etc., was carried
by a vote of 17 to 16.
On this vote Messrs. Dunlavy (who had not voted on this propo-
sition before), and Milligan (who had voted to incorporate it in the
article), voted with the friends of the negro, and caused the amend-
ment to be made. President Tiffin, who had voted for the incorporation
of the section on the twenty-second, is not recorded on this later vote.
The friends of the restriction tried to have it inserted in an amended

form, but on a demand for the previous question were outgeneralled,
and defeated. (P. 36.)
Bj a vote of 20 to 13, the convention inserted a provision in
Section 2, Article VIII, prohibiting in this state the indenture of any
negro or mulatto.
Early in the sitting of the convention the following message was
adopted and ordered to be officially transmitted to the representatives
of the United States:

father of the judge of that name, drew up a code of rules on a sheet of
ordinary foolscap, which he published by tacking them to the trunk of a
large oak tree on the site of the infant settlement. This was the first
iegislation in the territory, and it is said that the code was rigidly adhered
to by the pioneers of that country. The late General Manning F. Force,
in an historical sketch in "Bench and Bar of Ohio" (1897), is authority
for the statement that "history has recoidod no infraction of these' reg-
ulations which were read and approved by all."
Governor St. Clair, who had been occupied since his appointment
in continuous efforts to conciliate the Indians of the territory, and in
preparing for the needs of the infant settlement, arrisrcd at Marietta
with his official family on Wednesday, July 9, and on Tuesday. July 15,
in public ceremonies held in the three- months-old town of Marietta,
entered upon the discharge of his official duties. The Ordinance of 1787
was read to the settlers by Secretary Winthrop Sargent, after which the
commissions of the (Tovernor, Secretary and the Judges were publicly
read, and the Goverrior addressed the people briefly.
The territorial government thus set up consisted of the following
otncers who were present and participated in the ceremony: 'Governor,
Arthur St, C1;iii": Secretary, Winthrop Sargent; Judges, Parsons and
Vnrnum.

The First Legislative Council of the Northwest Territory (1788).
This group of officers ooimprised the First Legislati/ve Council of the
Northwest Territory, and during the summer and fall of the year pub-
ji&hed at Marietta laws on the following subjects:
(1788), July 25 — Regulating and establishing the Militia.
(1788), August 23— Eistablishing General Courts of Quarter Ses-
sions, Common Pleas, and foT the appointment of Sheriffs.
(1788), August 30— Establishing a Court of Probate.
(1788), August 30U-Pixing the terms of the General Court.
(1788), September 2 — Prescribing the forms of oaths of office.
(1788), September 6 — ^Eespecting crimes and punishments.
(1788), November 23 — ^Eegulating marriages (age for male 17,
female 14, with consent of fathers of parties) .
(1788), November 23 — Fixing monthly tinea for failure of recruit
in militia tO' provide himself with the proper equipment.
(1788), Deceniber 21 — ^Creating the office of Coroner.
(1788), December 28 — Limiting the times of civil actions and for
instituting criminal prosecutions.
Each of the above laws was undersigned by Messrs. St. Clair, Par-
sons, and Yarnum, on the dates given, the signature of Judge John Cleves
Symmes appearing on the law of August 30, — establishing a Court of
Probate — but on no other. His arrival in the colony is thus fixed at
a much earlier day than that given in most authorities. — (Territorial
Laws. )
Governor St. Clair withheld his approval to a proposed law relating
to estates held in common; he also, on July 30, called the attention of
the judges to the provision of the ordinance which empowered them to
"adopt'^ the laws of the older statesi, and expressed it as his opinion that
they were overstepping their authority in forming new laws in any case;
"And when we do/^ he adds, "the necessity of the case only can be our
justification." This opinion of the GoveTOor was fully borne out, when,
at a later period, the council found it wise to repeal by whoh^ale laws
of their own making which had no foundation in the code of lho older
states, and adopt others which conformed to this requirement in their
stead. — (St. Clair Papers).
Judge Vamum died in 1789.
THE, SECOJSTD LiEGMSLATIVE COUKOIL.
(1789.)
THE ratifioation of the Conisititution of the United States by a suffi-
Ciien't niimbeT of states having oioeurred durirLg the latter ptart of
the year 1784, and President Washington having assumed the
reins of government thereunder, it was construed to be the duty of the
Executive to appoint such officers whose commissions, having been is-
sued by the Congress under the old form of governmont, weire held to
have expired with that governm.ent. In pursuance of this conception of
his duty, the President, in a letter dated ISTew York, Augusit 18, 1789,
nominated for the officers of the Northwest T'erritory : Arthur St. Clair,
for Governor, and Messrs. Samuel Holden Parsons, John Cleves
Symmes, and William Barton (vice Yamum, deoeiased), Judges. The
nominations were confirmed by the Senate of the United States, but Mr.
Barton declining fhe appointment, the President nominated Mr. George
Turner, who was confirmed on the eighth day of September.
There is no public record of the 'aicts of the oounicil during the yegr
1789. In November of this year, Judge P'arsons, who was the Chief
Justice of the court, was drowned in a ford in the Muskingum valley,
while returning to the seat of government from a treaty council with the
Indians of the Western Ee'serve.

ing Governor, sat with Messrs. Synunes and Turner, Governor St. Clair
being absent in the eastern states, and no successor sitting in the room
of Judge Parsons, who had been succeeded by General Enfus Putnam,
Jr., of Miarietta. This ooaincil, in its meeting at Vin'cennes, published
the following laws, which were afterwards disaipproved and ordered to

The twOi houses having met and organized by the election of their
officers, on the sixteenth of Septembeir, on the following djay Goveimo'r
St. Clair addi^essed the legislature in eloquent teirms, congratulating the
body • and the T'eiritoiry on the new form of legislative goivemmient in
which the people now had a direct voicfe in the conduct of aifairis. Jacob
Bumiet, a miember of the council, writing after the lapse of a half oen-
tury, says in his "Notes on the !N"oTthwest Territo^ry^' (Cincinnati, 1847) :
"He laid beforei them a full and faithful view of the^ oonidition and
the wants of the Territory, and redom.mended to their attention such
meaisures as hfe' believed were proper to advance the prosp'erity and happi-
ness of the people" (p. 300).
Governor St. Clair had been ini active discharge of thie duties of the
chief executivie of the T'erritory continuously igince he had superviised the
dispatch of the first .settlers: to the then unsettled west in 1788; he had
joined thie first colony at Marietta within three months of its arrival
(July, 1788), and had been one of the legislators for the colonies up to-
the time of the me'eting of this first territorial assembly; out of the
experience of over eleven pioneier yeairsi, the governor spote to the leg-
islators of the work before them, as no better equipped man dould speak,
for there was no man of better equip'ment for the duty. Of Governor
St. Clair's influence at thiis time Mr. Burnet says (p. 378) : "And it
may be said with gr^at truth, that at the time he addressed the First
Territiorial Legislature in 1799, he posselsised as great, if not a greater
shiaire of the confidenoe and respect of the people of the Territory than any
other individual residing in it."
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. 137
The First Session of the First Territorial Legislature.
This betmg ihe first fsessiom of any repiiB^eiiitative legislajtive body in
the Tefrritory, the tramsitioai from the first to the isecxm'd gmd^ of gov-
ernment inytolved a generial revilsAon of the laws in foTce; new laws to meet
the changied conditions ; new officers and new duties for those already estab-
lished; and a plan must be conceived by wthich to meet the increased ex-
pienditnres of a semi-independent goveTnment. Many of the members
boing inexperienced in legislative matte(rs, the active work of the session
fell on a few of the men who had been moist closely identified with the
previous history of the settlements.
On the third of October the two houses in joint session elected
William Henry Harrison as delegate from the T'erritory in the Congress
of the United States, his election being contesited by Arthur St. Clair, Jr.,
who wals beaten by one vote. Captain Harrison was secretary of the
Territofiy at the time of his election, Mr. St. Clair, son of the G^ovemor,
being its aittorniey. Mr. Hanrison resigned his position as secretary and
at once pirfoceeded to his duties in the Congreiss.
It is hard tO' present the history of this session of the legislature in
the limits allowed in a publication of this nature. The existing laws
were a poor apology for a. coide; the Ordinance of 1787 formed a broad
and libieral baisisi for the government which hais since grown up under its'
provisions, but there was much legislation needed to' isupplement and make
practical its several declarations. The governior and the judges had selected
or maide lawsi, fromi time to itime, negleicting many important interests,
and impierfeotly providing for others which were touched upon; one of
the statutes of Virginiai had been adopted which put in operation the
English common law and certain Englisih statutes of a date prior to' the
fourth, year of the reign of James I. ; statutes from the original states
had been called upon to supply, in whole or in part, contributions to
the code of statute law in the Tlerritory, and there fell upon the legisla-
ture at this fiirst session the duty of "repealing, amending, enacting and
supplementing," in isuch manner as appealed to the best judgment of the
pioneers who composed the body, until on their adjournment on the
nineteenth day of December, 1799, there had been laid the foundation
for much of the subsequent public law in the Territory and in those states
which have been carved out of it.
Eollowing is a isumnuairy of the acts of this aissembly :
'acts OF THE FIRST SESSION OF THE FIRST TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE (1799).

this book that Solomon Sibley was appointed a committee to superintend the print-
ing of the laws of the session, on December 5. Mr. Sibley certifies, May 7 following,
that he has carefully compared the printed laws with the original enrolled bills,
and finds them to agree. The act bears the signatures of Edward Tiffin, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, H. Vanderburgh, President of the Council, and are

THE SiEOOND SESSION OF THE FIRST TERRITOEIAL
LEGISLATURE.
(Chillcothe, Novembeb 3, 1800.)
IT wiajs in oommoction with tiliie work of this fin»t session of the legisMiure
that the signs of a^proaiohing disagreement with the govemoir nuajde
their aippeairance. Gov^elmar St. Clair (aissTimeid that he was a bilalnoh
of th^e lassembly and that he had an ahsoliite right to veto the ajcts of the
two homses. He claimed the right, as goviemior, to lay out and change
the hoaindairies of ooniities under the Otpdiniance of 1787, regacrdless of
the exprressions frpom the legiislatniie, aaid was no dofiibt sincere in his
effoipfcs to perform that which he looked upon as his sworn duty. The
result of his action) was, however, to bring about a strained relation which
only grew in force ajs time went on. Judge Bumet says, in the book
alreaidy quoted: "The effect of the construction he gave of his own power
may be iSeen in the faet that of thirty bills paissed by the two houses
during the first scission, and sent to him- for his approval, he refuseid
assent to eleven', some of which were supposed to be of much importance,
and all of them eakulated, more lor leasi, to advanioe the public interest.
S'ome of them he rejected beoauisie they related to the estaiblishm'ent
oif new eOiuoitieis; others becaiulse he thought they were unnecessary or in-
expedient. Thus, more than a third of the fruits of the labor of that
entire session wais lost by the exercise of the arbitrary discretion of one
man." (p. 376.)
In thi0 eonneotion it may be iwell to aidd that the governor was not
sustained in his polsitioin when he submitted toi the Sienate of the United
States his repiotrt of new counties laid out after the legislature of the
Territoiry had eomie into existenicfe. It wais held that the governor of the
Tk-ritoiry hald exhausted his authority when he had once laid out the
whole tertritoiry into cioouities (which Goverlior St. Clair had done eatrly
in his administration) and that subsequent rearrangemetnts or divisions
vested solely in the territorial legislaiture. This decision was not aieaohed
in time to prevent a recurrence of -the differiences between the govemOT
and the legislature at its second seslsion in 1800, but was graitifying to
those membetrs who had beien engaged on the legislative iside of the ques-
tion during the first twto isessions.
The legislature istood proroigued to meet in Cinciinnati on the first
Monday in November, 1800. By refeiremce to an act of Cfongress of
the United States May 7 of 'that yeatr (See Pairt One), it will be noticeld
that after the adjounnment of the first sessiion of the legislature, the
Northwest Territory was divided by a line rumiing due north from the

mouith of ithe Keaitucky Eiver, inito an easfcem part which Tetained th'e
old namiQ amid govermniieait, and ai westiern piairt which was given the name
of THE TERRiTOEY OF INDIANA^ and a nicw government of the first grade
established thel"ein, the officers of which were toi be appointed by the
President. This act of C'OQgresis was aioquiesced in by the G'overnor and
legislatnre of the tenritoiry with great reluctance, aaid wais regarded by
the beist m^en in the Tierritoiry to be an -unwarranted agsumpition of legis-
lative power on the pa;rt of the Congress. President Vis^niderburg of the
Gonncil wals thns legislated ont of offiice and became la citizen of the new
territoTy. Eepireisentativeis Shadrack Bond, of St. ClaiT County, John
Edgar, of Randolph Cbnnty, and John Small, lof Knox County, also
lost their seats in the Honse of Eiepreisentatives for the igame reasdn, and
the constituents of these gentlemen were isummarily deprived of a voice
and a membership in that local territorial government, for which they had
but recently voted. The seiat of government for the new territory was
fixed by Congress at Vincennes, and the siame aict named the village of
Chillioothe, inistead loif -the already established capital at Cincinnaiti, as the
seat of government for the old teirtritory. It Was charged tihat this act
of Congress was urged by two ot three ardent anid aggressive spirits
who hoped to bring about san early state govemmient in Ohio, and were
already planning 'to aeoomplish the removal of Governor St. Clair and
his administration.
Pursuant to the call issued by the Governor under the new order,
the miembera of the legislature met in Chillicothe on the third day of
November, 1800. This was almotet exactly one hundred year's ago, it
being an interesting fact that the editor writes these lines on the twenty-
sixth day of October, 1900. The council met in the house of Joseph
Tiffin, the council chamber in the new oapitol not being ready for occu-
pancy. As there is no record to' the contrary, it is probable that the
represetntatives were better provideid for. The composition of th« legis-
lature at thils iseoond session was as follows:
IN THE COUNCIL.
Jaoob Burnet, of Hamilton County (Cincinnati).
Eobert Oliver, of Washington County (Marietta).
David Vance, of Jefferson County (Vanceville).
Jameis Findlay, of Hamilton County (Oinciwnati).
Mr. Vanderburg, of Vincennes, having for reasons already given,
lost his seat in the icouncil, Mr. Oliver .was elected president of that body,
Mr. Williaml 0. Sehenck (secretary of the Territory) acting as secretary
to the oouncil, ajnd WilMlam Eutledge being elected doorkeeper. To
fill the vaiealncy in <sounicil, the Governor reque^d the Houise of Repre-
sentatives to nominate to the Presiident of the United Sitates two names

One of the first dutiteis devolving oe the legislature was the election
of a delegate to Congress to suooeed Captaiin William Henry Harrison,
who had resigned to accept the appiointment atS governor of the territory
of Indiana, and also to elect a delegate for th'e long term beginniag on the
fifth day of March, 1801. On the sixth day of November the two houses
met in joint iSelsision in aooordance with a previous resolution to that effect,
and elected ais delegates to Congress: William McMillan, of Hamilton
County, for the unexpired term ending March 4, 1801, and Paul Fearing,
of Washington County, for the term ending on the fourth day of March,
1803.
As will be noticed, the selectioms were made from the members of the
House of Representatives.

The Second Session of the First Territorial Legislature.
Mr. McMillaai at onoe rasigned fcrom the House and proceeded to his
new duties.
The wiork of leigislation was hegun with mutual expTessions of regard
between the G^O'VeanJOlr amd thie memhere of the assembly, notwithstandiing
the differenjoeis of the praceding winter. On NovembeT b, the Gov^moir
visited the joint asisiembly aind delivered an aiuinual meseage of kindly
totne in which he ispoke of the near 'approiach of the end of his term of
office anid of their own,. He meoitioned the efforts of his ajdversaries only
to remiark: "The rem'orse of their own comiscieniceis will one day be pun-
ishment sufficient. Their acts may, howeveir, succeed. Be that as it may,
this I am certaiai, that, be my isucoesaor who he may, he can niever 'have
the interests of the people of this Tierritory more truly at heart than I
have had for them, ruor labor moire assiduously for their good than I have
done; and I am not consciouls tbat any one act of my administration has
been inliuenoed by any other motive than a^ sincere deisire to promote their
welfare and happiness. ^^
To this the assembly drafted its formal reply and asked the Governor -
to fix an hour wh,eai he could receive the ooonmittee and hear the same.
On receiving an intimation of his convenience, the committee fotrmally
wfaited on him in the executive chamjber at 10 o'clock a., m., Monday,
November 17, anid afterward returned to their respective houses bearing
with them the formal reply of his excellency to their address. This second
communication from St. Clair is a feeling response to the expre'ssionis of
confidence in which ithe House had clothed its message to him.
Grovemior St. Clair, in a message to the House December 2, 1800,
calls to their attention the fact that, as hiis term of office expires in one
week from that day, it will be necessary that the session must end on
that day, and therefore any business of impiortance to be transacted should
njot be too long postponed. He says in this case the Secretary of the
-Territory can not supply to the Aissembly the place of a Govemior.
French dnihabitants of the County of Wayne presented to the House,
December 4, a pietition in French language which was referred to Messrs.
Kimberly and Yisger for tranisktion. (p. 95.) This committee repoirt>ed
later in the day that the petition wals for a redresis of certain grievances,
and it was referred to the Committee on Propositions and Grievances.
A proposition was submitted that the aissembly should hold its ses-
sions in rotation als follows: The first session to be held in the town of
Mairietta, the (second in the town of Cinicinnati, and the third in the towQ of
Chillicothje. This was agreed to by the House, 10 to 8.
A motion to hold the sessions in Cincinnati was lost, 4 to 14. THie bill
Ms finally defeated by striking out the enaicting clause, on a vote not
given, (p. 109.)

The First Session of the Second Territorial General Assembly.
The Houise OTganized <m the tweety-fouTtli of November iby the
electiooi of the fiollowing offioars: Eidward Tiffin, Speaker; John Eeilly,
Clerk.
The seiats of MiessTs. Scheifflin and McDougall, lof Wayne Coiunty,
were oontesited, bnt they were declared to be entitled to their seats.
The fiinianoeis lof the Territory were in snch condition that the gov-
ernor, w'ho had been reappointed dnring the ladjonrnment of the aissembly,
in his address at a joint isession of the two hionses eaUed toi be held in
"Mr. Gregg's HalF' for the purpose said: "The T^ritory is in debt
in the sum of $5,419 beyond the whole revenue for the present year.
A new emission of bills (of credit) must be made, even to meet the ex-
penses of the present session. A wretched expedient, it is true, because the
bills suffer a depreciation in the hands they paiss through, anld the public
pays the full interest.''
During this isiession of the G-enierial Assembly, a bill was passed trans-
ferring the ©eat of govennimient to Cincinnati, from which city it had been
remoA^ed by a provision in the tenritoriial act of 1800, 'ajnd as an expres-
sion of feeling on the pairt of the local inhabitants, a number of the
members of the legislature, laod also the govemoa*, were set upon in Chilli-
cothe on the twenty-fifth and twenty-isixith of Decembier. The matter
was made a subject for official investigation.
At 12 of'dock njoon, on Janaiary twenty-third, the Cbuncil attended
the chamber of the House of Representatives in a body, where the j'oint
assembly was addrelsised by Goviernor St. Clair, and adjourned by him to
meet in second session in Cincinnati on the fourth Monday of the folloiwing
November. (1802.) It should be noted hcTe that this prropiosed second
session of the second and last territoirial legislature was never held.
The reason is given in the following interesting extract from the memoirs
of a memb'ea* of !the Council speaiking of the first constitutional convention :
^*As the territorial legislature was in existence, and isitood adjourned,
to meet at Cincinnati om the fourth Monlday in November, three weeks
after the opening of the convention, a resolution was passed, directing
their president to request the governor to dissolve or prorogue 'that body.
Such a pireoaution ^was altogether unnecessary, ais no dispoisition existed
among the memlb'ers, either to embarrassi, or in amy way interfere with the
movements of the convention. That such a disposition did not exist was
verified by the facft that the day for the meeting of the legislature oame
anid passed; the miembers remaining at home ais by coimmon consent. No
attempt was made by the governior, or by any of the members, to convene
that body, till its exiistence was terminaited, and it was -succeeded by the
General Assembly, under the State Constitution." (Notes on the North-
western Territory, 1847, by Judge Jacob Burnett, a member of >the Terri-
toirial Council.)

sum of twelve thousand dollars for what is called a contingent fund, and then pro-
vides for its disbursement in detail. Some of the items are interesting as convey-
ing information as to the nature and amount of the territorial expenses a hundred
years ago.
The governor is allowed fifty dollars for postage "upon letters of a public nature."

THE QUBSTIOIsr OF THE BOUNDAEY OF THE STATE.
THE quetatioiDj of boimd'ary, though not expressly referred to the oon-
vention (The CoTistitutioai'al CiorLvention of 1802) was one of
greater importance than would appiear at first view. It is generally
knjO'wn to thoise who have consulted the ma pis of the western country extant
at the time the Ordinance of 1787 was passed, that Lake Michigan was
represented as being very far north of the position which it hais ®ince been
ascertained to occupy. On a map in the Departmenit of State (at Washing-
ton) which was before the committee of Congreiss who formed the ordi-
nance for the gov'emment of the Territoiry, thie southern boundary of that
lake waiS laid doiwn as being near the forrty-seoond degree of north lati-
tude;, an^d there was a pencil line paissing through the isouthem bend of
the lake, to the Canada line, which intersected the strait between the Eiver
Rai©in and the town of Detroit. The line was manifestly intended by the
committee, and by Congress, to be the noirthem boundary of this state;
and that map, and the line marked on. it, should have been taken as con-
clusive evidence of the boundary, without ref erenoe tO' the actuial position
of the southern extreme of the lake.
Wh.en the C'onvemtion was in session in 1802, it was the prevailing
opinion that the old maps were coirrect; and that the line, as defined in
the oiildiniance, would terminate at some point on the strait far above the
Maumee Bay; but, while that 'subject was under discussion, a man who
had hunted many y^ars on Lake Michigam and was well acquainted with
it® poisition, happened to be in Chillico'the, and in conversation with some
of the miembers, mentioned tO' them that the lake extended much farther
south than was generally supposed; and that a mapi he had seen placed
its southern bend matny miles notrth of its truie piosition. Hiis statemient
piroduceid some apprehension and excitement on the subject, and indujoed
the convention to change the line presicribed in the act of Congress, so
far as tO' provide that if it should be found to strike I^ake Erie below the
Maumee River, as th'e hunter informed them it would, them the boundary
of the state should be a line drawn from the pioint where the prescribed
line intersected the west boundary of the state, direict to the most northern
cape of the Maiumee Bay. TOiat provision saved to the State of Ohio the
valuable poirts and harbors on the Maumee River and bay, which were the
prize contendeid for in the "Michigan war of GroveTnoa- Lucas." Yet some
of the members (of the Ciomvention) hesitated in making the provision,
lest it might cause delay; but fortunately it wais adopted and its object is
now secure." (Burnett's "Kotes on the Northwestern Territory," 1847,
p. 360.) (See also the language of the Acts of Congress, 1800, 1802-1812,
quoted in Part I of this publication. — Editor.

THE aENEEAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO.
(1803-1902.)
THE third legisliative body to icome intO' powor in the territory ciom-
prised in the present isttate was tiie Greneral Assembly of the State
of Ohio^ whiich, foiUowing the adoption of the State Comstitution
ainid the admission ol the state into the Uniion of States, wais organized fo-r
its first session, on the first day of Mairch, 1803.
Tbe legislative bioidy thus inaugurated has beien an en ormolus factor
foir good in the omward aaiid forward ptrogress of OiMo during the past Imn-
dred years. No group of men have served the state with so little personal
gain as have her legislators. No body of public men. has done so moich
to emcouirage miO'rality, industry aaaid patriotism. The wander oif it is — not
that legiBlatoirts have oooasionially made pensonal mistakes — rbut thiat in
no matter what strait or dilemma, Ohio has. always had in hier service,
practically without leompemsatiO'n, so many mien wiho' were not only patrioits,
but mJen who exhibited the wiisdoim laod had the courage to' handle the
a,ff airs of isitate with hjonor tO' themsielves, to tlieir constituents and the name
of an Ohioan. When the enioirmons poiweir Oif a GeneTal Asisembly is fairly
unjderstood, the moire honor is found tO' b^e due those men who, since the first
settler landed on 'thie western bank of the Ohio', in 1788, bave never used
that poiwer as a. body, except to advance the state in dignity and in pros-
perity, land in evidences' of fealty in every hour lof danger to the general
goveirnnient. More or less acqualintance with members of recent aissem-
blies, and a quite studions attention tO' the records of the past century
in Ohio, gives pioint to these observations.

TWENTIETH AND TWENTY-SECOND DISTRICT.
Composed of the counties of Belmont, Harrison, Jefferson and Columbiana.
FRANK B. ARCHER, op Bellaibe.
President Pro Tern.
The Senator from the Twentieth and Twenty- second Districts, who is now serving
his second term in the Senate, had the unusual honor to be twice nominated to rep-
resent his district in the 74th and 75th Greneral Assemblies of Ohio by acclamation.
He is an active and enthusiastic Republican in Eastern Ohio, and his nomination was
the natural expression of the confidence of his constituents in his ability to look after
their interests, both as partisans and as citizens of Ohio, a trust which has not been
misplaced.
Senator Archer was born in Bellaire on the 20th day of May, 1858, and, as
his father died in the fall of that year, leaving the mother with six children to
support, the educational advantages afforded him were meagre. At the age of 12
years the boy went to work in a glass factory in Bellaire, and by the time he had
passed his 17th birthday he had finished his apprenticeship at the trade and was
commanding the wages of a master tradesman in the business. In 1884 he left the
factory to engage in the stationery and insurance business. Two years pre-
viously he had been elected To^vnship Treasurer of Pultney township, and this served
to introduce him to the political field of activity.
He has served two terms as a member of the City Council of Bellaire, and
was for two years President of that body. He was elected Treasurer of Belmont
county in 1889, and was re-elected for a second term to that office. He was promi-
nently mentioned for State Treasurer at the State Convention of his party at
Zanesville, but was defeated in the nomination largely by geographical considerations
in the make-up of the ticket. Senator Archer has served his party twice as Chair-

tractor. During his first term his most conspicuous service was as a member of the
standing committees on Finance, Railroads, Taxation, Public Works and Public
Lands, and on Manufactures and Commerce, being chairman of the last two com-

Chairmcm of the Committee on Federal Relation.
The nomination by the Republicans of the Twenty-seventh-Twenty-ninth Senator-

in every section of the district where Mr. Chamberlain is universally recognized as
an able lawyer and a man of high character and attainments. He was born on a
farm in Lorain county, June 21, 1862, receiving his early education in the district
schools. At the age of 17 young Chamberlain went to Oberlin to pursue his studies,
teaching school winters to pay his way. In the fall of 1884 he entered the law
office of E. G. Johnson, Elyria, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar of Ohio in June,
1887. Since that time, with the exception of six years, from 1889 to 1895, when he
lived in Milwaukee, Wis,, he has practiced law in Elyria.
Mr. Chamberlain descended from good Vermont and York state stock, and
early in life became interested in all political and patriotic events. He has always
been a stanch Republican in politics. When it came to the election in a district
nominally Republican by 3,000 votes, he received a majority of 3,800.

children, four boys and three girls. He is a trustee and member of the official board
of the M. E. Church and superintendent of the Sunday school. He is prominently

and at the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio, when Alfred Holbrook
was President of that institution. He began teaching at the age of eighteen; in

WARREN G. HARDING, of Marion.
It is thoroughly characteristic of the Senator from the Thirteenth District that
Jii's hastily written and modestly worded answer to a request for certiaiii iiecessary
personal information, a year or more ago, should take this form: "Warren G. Hard-
ing, iSenator from the 13th district; born in Blooming Grove, Morrow county, Novem-
ber 2, 1865. Has resided in Marion since 1882. Secured an academic education at the
old Ohio Central College at Iberia, — ^not now in existence. Taught school in 1882.
Studied law one year, then became a newspaper writer, becoming owner of the
Marion Star in 1884. Has it yet. Was nominated for Senate July 17, 1899, at
Marion — first whirl in politics — and was elected by nearly 1800."
To this may now be added the later fact that, after his first term in the Sen-
ate he was renominated and re-elected to succeed himself, in a district which has but
once in the past half century so honored its representative in the Ohio Senate. Sen-
ator Harding's personal popularity has broken the "one term" rule in his Senatorial
district.
Senator Harding is one of the young men in the Ohio Senate. His earnestness in
debate is equalled only by his frankness of statement. His first term of service in
the Senate was marked by the fact that he introduced in the Senate, and stood spon-
sor in the General Assembly for the bill reported to the Governor by the Municipal
Code Commission.
He is a member of the standing committees on Claims, Common Schools and
School Lands, Federal Relation, Finance, Industrial Schools for Boys and Girls, Mili-
tary Affairs, Taxation, Universities and Colleges, Banks, Building and Loan

to the Senate almost directly from serving two terms as Probate Judge of Seneca
county, and brings to the consideration of proposed legislation the trained mind of a
successful judge whose experiences lie directly along the lines of the private and
personal interests of the common people. The litigation before the Probate Court is
a fruitful source of private weal or woe, and a legislator whose previous training
has been along these lines in actual practice, has a distinct advanteige in consider
ing the possibilities which lie wrapped up in the numerous propositions which come
before the General Assembly.

Royer again devoted himself to his profession and at the time of his election to the

cratic majority the late General Wm. H. Gibson, who was the nominee of the oppo-

THE GOVEENOR.
SKETCH OF THE GOVERNOR.
GEORGE K. NASH, the presenit G^emior of Ohio (see Part I,
facing page 7), was .born in Medina County, August 14, 1842.
His early life was spent on the fa,rm, where his parents settled
after emigratimg frtom Massachtisetts. His early eduoatiooi was ohtained
at the distniict schools of his toiwnishipi, whore he prepamed for college,
entering Oherlin at the age of twenty. During his sophomoire year at this
institution the great struggle between the North /aoid South had readied
a criisisi, and like miany of the patribtic youth of his time, he felt it
his duity to respond tio the call to amiis. AocoTidingly he enlisted as a
priv<ate in the 150th 0. N. G., seiring with his characteristic integrity
and thoroughness until idtischarged. Immediateily after the iclose of the war,
he began the study lof law, and in 1867 was admitted to the Biair.
Since that time his career m a lawyer has been one of steady advance-
ment and increasing renown. In 1870 he was elected Prosieouting Attoimey
of Ftianklin Cb'UJity amid at the end of the teirm was choisen to succeed
himself. In 1877 he was the Republician ciandidate fOT Attonmey-Generial,
anid though defeated with his party, he made a gallant fight. In 1879 he
algain ran for the same offitce and was elected. Ttwoi years later he was
re-elected, thuis holding the important anjd honoraible position of Attoimiey-
Gienerai for la period of four yeans. Further and higher honors awaited him.
In 1883 Governor Foster, his wa'rm friend and supporter, appointed
him a membier of the Supreme Court Oommission, which body was cre-
ated to aid the Suprpeme Conrt in coonpleting unfinished work. This com-
mission sat for two yeairs, and when its Work was findjshed. Judge Xash, as
he thieu' became kno^wn, returned tO' the pralctice of the laiw.
Althiough taking a great interest in piolitios and doing mndh work
for his party iini various capacities, the duties of his profession consumed
by far the greater pontion of his time. In the spring of 1899 he became a
candidate for nomination fo-r Govemior, and at the convention held in Co-
lumbus in the following June was successful, being nominated on the sec-
ond ballot by 461 votes out of a total of 820 cast. The following N'ovember,
after a ispirited and interesting ^campaign, he was elected Governor by a
plurality of 49,000 votes. In 1901 he was renominated by acclamation,
and re-elected by a plurality of 67,567.
THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR.
The Constitution of Ohio pirovides that "The supreme executive power
of the state shall be vested in the GovemoT."
(492)
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. 493
The Governor.
He is elected by the people for la teirm of twioi yeara. He must be
aai electoT and mot hold any other offioe unider the authority of the State
or the United Sitetes. Ini case of deaith, removal or other disability, the
Liefntenant-Goveamor shall execute the offioe of G^oMemolr. The G^otvemor
miuist 0ee thait tlhe law's are faithfuilly execufted and may reqneist of the
execu'tive officials rep'0[rts of their respective departments.
Ait every session of the General Assembly he must report the con-
dition of the state by messaige, recommeniding 'therein such legislation as may
to him iseem proper. He miay convene the General Assembly upon ex-
traiOfrdiniary occasions. He may adjourn it in case of disagreement upon
this 'Subject between the twO' brancheisi thereof.
The GovernoT is Commiander-in- Chief of the army and navy and
cusitoidian of the Great Seal of the State.
He miay grant repirievess commutations and piatrdons.
Such, briefly, are the constitutdionial pirovisions relating to the Chief
Execntive. It will be observed that 'the customiao^'' veto power is withheld.
In addition to the powers confeTired amid duties imposed upon the Gov-
ernor by the Oonistitution, are those which the General Assembly has seen
fit to pirovide by statute, and it is through these that the greater portion of
the laotual duties of this office arise, las well as moist of the appointive power
of the GovemoT. As Ciommiander-in-Chief of the 'army and navy, it seems
appropriate that he shonld appoint the Adjutant-General, and the sixteen
otheir members of his military istaff.
There lare certain state offices not creaJted by the Constitution whoise
chief incnmbents are nomiulated by the Governoir, and by and with the ad-
viice and consent of the Sienate appointed. Such aire the Ciommissionefr of
Insurance, Commissioner of Bailroads and Telegraphs, Commissioner of
Labor Statistics, Inspector of WOirkshops and Factories, Chief Mine In-
spector, State Mre Marshal, Chief Examiner of Stationary Engineers,
State Pension Claim Agent, (and Chief Engineer of Public Work®.
Numerous oommasisions, snch as the Canal Commission, Shiloh Bat-
tlefield Commission, and Fish and Game Commission, containing from
\jm> to seven members each, with terms varying from one to five years, have
been created by law. Here vacancies are constantly occurring, which aire
filled by the Govemior, and frequently he is called upon, when the General
Assembly provildes for some new commission, to appoint an entire board.
The Governor is ex-officio the President of the State Board of Chari-
ties, composed of six members, who are appointed for a term of three years.
This Board exercises a general snperviision of the public instdtutioins, and
is of valuable aid to the GovemoT in ^overseeing the mimeTous large sfca^e
properties. There aire' 'thirteen benevolent, two petnlal and two corrective
institutions in -this state. Each of these is mana-ged by a board of trustees,

On the declination of Lieutenant-Governor John A Caldwell to become a candidate
for re-nomination Mr, Nippert was put forward as the unanimous choice of the Re-
publican State Convention for the vacancy, and aided materially in the success of
the party ticket in the recent campaign.
Mr. Nippert was born in Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, of American parents
sojourning in that city. After enjoying a liberal education in Germany, Switzerland,
and in this country, he became a teacher in the public schools, and was for ten
years principal of the old Thirteenth District School of Cincinnati, now the Webster
School on Findlay street. At that time it was the largest public school in the city.
He began the study of law while teaching, and was admitted to the bar, graduating
at the Cincinnati Law School in 1891 ; he has since followed the practice of his
profession. He is the senior member of the firm of Nippert and Powell.
Governor Nippert served as Prosecuting Attorney of the Police Court of Cincin-
nati from 1894 to 1897, by appointment- of Mayor Caldwell, who by a singular co-
incidence, had just preceded him in the office of Lieutenant-Grovernor.
On May 1, 1902, Lieutenant-Governor Nippert resigned to accept appointment
to the office of Probate Judge of Hamilton county, tendered him by Governor Nash,
to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Ferris. At the ensuing
reffular election he was elected to the same office.

HARRY L. GORDON, of Hamilton County.
Harry L. Oordon was born in the village of Metamora, Franklin County, In-
diania, August 27, 1860. He atteoided. the public schools during the winter months and
worked on the farm during the summer until he was eighteen years of age, when he
left his country home for college. His college education was obtained in the Normal
College at Ladoga, Ind., and De Pauw University, at Greencastle, Ind., from which
university he was graduated with honors in 1882, receiving the degree of B. Ph. Three
years later he received the honorary degree of A. M. He studied law with the firm of
McDonald, Butler & Mason, in Indianapolis, Ind., and was <the chief clerk in that
office from 1882 to 1887.
In January, 1887, he removed to Wichita, Kan., where he resided for ten years.
While a resident of Kansas he was Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, City Solicitor and
a member of the Kansas State Senate. Immediately upon taking up his residence in
Cincinnati he engaged actively in the practice of law, and in April, 1899, he was ap-
pointed a member of the Board of Supervisors of said city and in the following year
was elected President of the board, which position he held until April 1, 1903. He was
appointed Lieutenant-Governor by Gov. George K. Nash to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Carl L. Nippert, on the 26th day of June, 1902, and at the special
session of the legislature whic^h convened in August, 1902, he presided over the Sen-
ate in a manner which won for him the esteem and confidence of all with whom he
came in contact.
Mr. Gordon has always been an ardent and enthusiastic Republican, having parti-
cipated in almost every campaign since he graduated from college. He is a Scottish
Rite Mason, Knight Templar and a member of the Mystic Shrine, and belongs to the
leading clubs and business organizations of Cincinnati.
He was married April 20, 1892, to Esther L. Langtree, of Aurora, Ind., and has
one son, Harry L. Gordon, Jr., who is nine years of age.
Few men have risen more rapidly in political affairs in the state of Ohio than
has Mr. Gordon, and he is today recognized as one "of the potent factors not only in
the affairs of the city wherein he resides, but throughout the emtire state as well.

Ohio, Miay 26, 1854. His fathieT wais a Penousylvianiaiii, of G^enruan

the public isichioiols,, ainid at the age of twen,ty began teiaching. Afteirwiards
he laittendeid the Union sichoiol at CokLnxbuis Gnrove, and in the fall of 1876
entered the freahman Am lin Baldwin Uiniversity, a.t Berea, Ohio. He
completed a four yeatrs^ connsie in three, besides taking a, nnmber of elective
studies. Mlathenuatics being hiis special forte, he took every branch tangtM
in the University, save one.
In the fall of 1879 he entered the law depiajrtmienjt of the University of
Michigan, and graidnJaited in Mardh, 1881. On April 5 followirig he was
admitted to the bar by the Supreme Oourt lof Ohio, and lopemed an office in
Ottawa., where he now resides, and where he igoon acquired lanid now en-
joys, lan ex'tenaive prraotice'.
In 1893, as the candidate of the Eepublican party, he wajs' elected
judge of the Commion Pleas Court iai the sub- judicial district composed of
the oounities of Fulton, Heryry, and Putnam, hieing the first EjepublicaJi

inaition previo'Uis to ithiiis time;, but Mr. Sheets, with his dha'iiaicteriistie cour-
age, accepted 'the >iiiormjiiiiatiocn, amd lais an evidence ol his piopulianity amoGiig
the people lotf the eoTuities oompoisiiig the subdivisaoin, he was eleated by
over 1700 majority; he wais reiuomiii'ated ini 1898, and althooigh the Demo-
cratic maijority oai the general ticket wais 2086, Judge Sheets came within
thirty votes ol being again elected.
On laisisaiming the office of judge, he fo^und 'the conrt very greatly
overcrowded with business, so much soi, iirudeed, that several unsuccessful
attempts had been made to secure legislation authoirizitag an additional
juidge in said :saibdivision ; but Judge Sheets ideveloped an unusual capaicity
for the despatch of business, and in a short time, the docket was cleared.
His business methods were very piopular, and his services on the bench were
in demland. He hais received very miany high eomplimicnts, from both
the bench and the bar, ais well aiS froan the press of his. district, on his
ability as la. judge, atad on his conspicuous business methods.
While a student at the University of Michigan, he became acquainted
wiith Miss Mairy Eu S^cott, alsoi a istudent at the same University, to whom
he was married Mlarch 22, 1882, and has a. family of five idaughters.
John M. Sheets;, as boy and man, always enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of his aissociates., and this was never mioire striking than in his
student days at Ann Arbor; and as an instance, his acquaintanceship
with Hon. H. M. Diaugherty is conspicuous. They first met as situdents
at the Unjiverisity, and their relaitiionjs develoiped a, cilose personal friiend-
ship whiiich has ever since continued. They were students in the same
class, and graduated at the same time, and it was a pleasant surprise to
both when they met in the same class for esaminatioini for admission to the
bar, where they were hoth adm^itted to the piraotice of 'the law.
, At the Eiepublican State Convention at Columbus, held June 1 and
2, 1899, after a spirited contest, he wasi, 'Oai the third ballot, nominated
the candidate for attorney-general; his nomination before the call of the
roll of thei counties was completed, being made; unanimous by aoclamiation.
In 1901 he was TeHelected. Jndge Sheets has always been an active, ag-
gresisive Eepuiblican, never hiding hisi light under a. buishel, but withal, a
liberal and fair oppionent.

has been active in the affiairs of Ms party, having served ais ehairman oi
his oomnty ooanmittee foT a number of yeiars, amd as a membeir of the state
executive committee. He was aliso a deilegaite to the national Republican
oonveotdjon in 1888.

zations, being a Mason, a Knight Tiemplair, a m'ember of the Mystic Shrine,

DUTIES OF THE AUDITOE.
The Auditor of State is elected eveoy four yea.rs, and is the chief ac-
counting officer of the State. No mioney dan be paid into or out of the
State Treasury ecxcept upion hiis wairrant. He is custodian of all field notes,
maps, reoocrds, doicuments, papers anid implements of every description
relating to or used in the survey of the public lands within the State, and
is required by law to keep a record of deeds ex^ecuted by the Governor.
He is required to pirepiarre all forms and instructions for county officers,

and look after and see to the collection of all claims in favoT of the Staite.
He may 'remit illegal taxes or pienalties and direct that tax duplicates be
ooirreoted.
Thie work in the office has been greatly increalsed since the present
auditor went into office as chief clerk in 1888 by reaison of the determina-
tion to add to the revenues of the State by traffic and excise taxes, which
should meet the growing needs of the State government, and forever
pirevent an increase in the commion burden of taxation upon private in-
dividuials and small properrty holders. The work of putting various revenue
acts in operation fell upon this departmeint as foUowis:
In 1889 the liquor traffic tax act giving the state a portion of the tax was passed
and put in operation. In 1896 this act was amended increasing the tax, which now
yields as the state's portion over one million dollars annually.
In 1893 what is known as the Nichols law, taxing express, telegnaph and tele-
phone companies, was passed and put in operation, which yields to the state and
counties annually more than $30,000.00.
In 1894 an act levying an excise tax on gross receipts of express companies,
was passed, land put in operation, which brings into the State Treasury about $12,000
annually. In 1902 this law was repealed and express companies included in the excise
law of 'l902.

roads and messenger or signal companies). In 1902 this law was amended so as to
include suburban or interurban railroad, telegraph, telephone, express and union
depot companies, and the tax increased to one percent on the gross receipts, which
yielded last year for state purposes the sum of $1,432,000.

lieutenant- Govemoir of Ohio. There have been no other ichanges in the
board .since its creation in 1893.
1. OBJECT AND DUTIES OF THE BOARD.
The State Board of Arbitration and Conciliation is charged with the duty, upon
due application or notification, of endeavoring to effect amicable and just settlements
of controversies or differences, actual or threatened, between employers and employees
in the state. This is to be done by pointing out and advising, after due inquiry and
investigation, what, in its judgment, if anything, ought to be done or submitted to
by either or both parties to adjust their disputes ; of investigating, where thought ad-
visable, or required, the cause, or causes of the controversy, and ascertaining which
party thereto is mainly responsible or blameworthy for the continuance of the same.
2. HOW ACTION OF THE BOARD MAY BE INVOKED.
Every such controversy or difference not involving questions which may he
the subject of a suit or action in any court of the state, may be brought before the
Board; provided, the employer involved employs not less than twenty-five persons in
the same general line of business in the state.
The aid of the Board may be invoked in two ways:
First — The parties immediately concerned, that is, the employer or employees, or
both conjointly, may file with the Board an application which must contain a con-
cise statement of the grievances complained of, and a promise to continue on in
^business, or at work ( as the case may be ) , in the same manner as at the time of the
application, without any lockout or strike, until the decision of the Board, if it shall
be made within ten days of the date of filing said application.
A joint application may contain a stipulation making the decision of the Board to
an extent Eigreed upon by the parties, binding and enforcible as a rule of court.
An application must be signed by the employer or by a majority of the employes
in the department of business affected ( and in no case by less than thirteen ) , or by
both such employer and a majority of employes jointly, or by the duly authorized
agent of either or both parties.
Second — A mayor or probate judge when made to appear to him that a strike or
lockout is seriously threatened, or has taken place in his vicinity, is required by the
law to notify the Board of the fact, giving the name and location of the employer,
(519)
520 THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO.
The State Board of Arbitration.
the nature of the trouble, and the number of employes involved, so far as he can.
When such fact is thus or otherwise duly made known to the board it becomes its
duty to open communication with the employer and employes involved, with a view
of adjustment by mediation, conciliation or arbitration.
3. WHEN ACTION OF THE BOARD TO CEASE.
Should petitioners filing an application cease^ at any stage of the proceedings,
to keep the promise made in their application, the Board will proceed no further in
the case without the written consent of the adverse party.
4. SECRETARY TO PUBLISH NOTICE OF HEARING.
On filing any such application the Secretary of the Board will give public notice
of the time and place of the hearing thereof. But at the request of both parties
joining in the application, this public notice may, at the discretion of the board, be
omitted.
5. PRESENCE OF OPERATIVES AND OTHERS, ALSO BOOKS AND THEIR CTTSTOLtlANS, EN-
FORCED AT THE PUBLIC EXPENSE.
Operatives in the department of business affected, and persons who keep the rec-
ord of wages in such department and others, may be subpoenaed and examined under
oath by the Board, which may compel the production of books and papers containing
such records. All parties to any such controversy or difference are entitled to be
heard. Proceedings before the Board are conducted at the public expense.
6. NO COMPULSION EXERCISED, WHEN INVESTIGATION AND PUBLICATION REQUIRED.
The Board exercises no compulsory authority to induce adherence to its rec-
ommendation, but when mediation fails to bring about an adjustment it is required
to render and make public its decision in the case. And Avhen neither a settlement
nor an arbitration is had, because of the opposition thereto of one party, the Board
is required at the request of the other party to make an investigation and publish its
conclusions.
7. ACTION OF LOCAL BOARD ADVICE OF STATE BOARD MAY BE INVOKED.
The parties to any such controversy or difference may submit the matter in dis-
pute . to a local board of arbitration and conciliation consisting of three persons
mutually agreed upon, or chosen by each party selecting one, and the two thus chosen
selecting the third. The jurisdiction of such local board as to the matter submitted to
it is exclusive, but it is entitled to ask and receive the advice and assistance of the
State Board.
8. CREATION OF BOARD PRESUPPOSES THAT MEN WILL BE FAIR AND JUST.
It may be permissible to add that the act of the General Assembly is based upon
the reasonable hypothesis that men will be fair and just in their dealings and rela-
tions with each other when they fully understand what is fair and just in any given
case. As occasion arises for the interposition of the Board, its principal duty will
be to bring to the attention and appreciation of both employer and employes, as best
it may, such facts and considerations as will aid them to comprehend what is rea-
sonnble, fair and just in respect of their differences-
THEi BOAED OF STATE CHARITIES.
THE Ohio Board of State Chlaritiiels is composed of six mjembecps
appioinjted by tibe Govenioir. Tihe law requires tliait the memibOT-
•ship shall be eqiually divideid betweeirii the two loading political
paTtie®, and fixes the term of office at three j&slTS. The miemibers receive
nio compemsatiiiorii foir thedr eervice's, but their actual expienses incurred in
the discharge of their duties are paid by the State. The Board appoints
its ownj iseoretary, who' is not a member of the Board. It is required to hold
quarterly meetinlg's, but special mieetings may be held at amy time.
It was first established by an ^act of the legislature passed in 1867,
Massachusetts being the onlj state to precede Ohio in the enactnaefnt of
such a law. Its organization at that time was due to the efforts of a
member of the House of Representatives fro^m Cuyahoga county, Hon-
orable D. A. Dangler, who h'ad the support of the then Governor^ Jacob
D. Cox. The motive that actuated Mr Dangler in the introduction of
his measure is defined by him as follows: "I availed myself of the op-
portunity, as a member of the Ohio Legislature, of visiting the state
institutious for the purpose of familiarizing myself, as far as possible,
with their arrangement. It was after such a visit that I became im-
pressed that the citizens of the great state of Ohio should have a more
perfect knowledge of the management of these institutions than was
gained by the annual visits of their representatives in the Legislature."
In a speech advocating the passage of the bill introduced by him, Mr.
Dangler said:

In 1872 the Board was abolished, but it was again organized in
18Y6 under the old law with the additional provision for a salaried sec-
retary. On April 15, 1880, the law was so amended as to provide for
a Board of six members, instead of five, the original nnmber.

The state Board of Health.
Dr. Adtmuim resigm'ed (this pioiaitioinj in June, 1886, anxi Dr. Guy
Ciaise, of Clevelaoiid, wais appoiiDted as his sniocessoT. Dr. Claise tendared
Ms rasiigmatio'ii July 27, 1886, and Dr. C. 0. Probsit, of Ciolumbus, wias
appiointieid Siecretary on (the isiaooiie daite. Dr. Probst has oouitinuougly filled
the piotsitioin ©inic© thiat timo, and is ihe pireisent Secrerta^ry.
The Board first directed its effoTte to huildiag up a, complete health
drgandzatioiii' for fthe lenitire Stete. In 1886 the liairger cities smd a very
few villageis were the only municipialitie© that had aYailed themiselves of
the pro'visiions of an aict permitting them tO' establish a local board of health.
In furtheranoe of its work in this direction 'the Board began, in
1897, a 'Systematic eisaminaition of the streams of Ohio. Eaich main stream,
wi'th its tributairies, has been oairef ully examined from source to outlet with-
a view to deteirmiining -the isouroe anid character of its pollution. Monthly
che'mical and baoteriological examinationis of the waters lof th^eise streams,
taken at various places on each stream, haive been made, and caireful
gaigings and mmisurememts to determine their rates of flow at diffeErent
seasons of the year. This work is about eompleted.
Am ^acft of 1900 authorrized the Board to establish a Laboiratoiry "for
the e: aminatiooi of public water supplies, the diagnosis of diphtheria,
typhoid fever, hydrophobia,, glanders, ete., and foir the eLxamJinatiom of food*
suspected to be the cause of disease."
The LabomtoTy has been placed at the disposal of all local b'Oards
of health, and much good has already resulted from its establishment.
The Board is firequently called up'on to examine the sanita.ry condition
of public insti'tutions and school buildings;, to inveistigate the causes of
outbreaks of epidemic diseases, and to assist the looal authotrities in the
aba/tement of nuisances injurious to health.
Beginning with' a SIecre*ary, .the working force of the Board hais been
gradually increased until it now embraces a chief clerk, two istenographei^s,
an engineer, a chemist and a bacteriologist.
The imniiense growth of public sentiment in the last ten years in favor
of improved sanitary conditiions and more stringent measures for the pren
vention of disease has been due in no ismall part to the pa^ogressive char-
acter of the w^ork of the State Board of Health; and we may confidently
hope that 'this eailightened sieotimient will gradually lead to a more gen-
erous suppoirt of health mmisures, whereby the sum of human happiness
and average duration of life may be materially increased.
The' State Board of Health secured legislation from time to time,
gradually extending the powers and duties of local boands of health, and
nuaking' provision for their establishment throughout the State. In 1893
the townships, which up to that time had had practically no protection
in hmMi matters, were required to eistablash boards of health, so that pro-

visiom is now made for a board of health, in every city, village and township,
a grand total of 2,112 snch boards.
The State Board has kept in close tionch with the local boards, and
is constantly helping them by aid and advice.
In 1888 a monthly jonmal was established as a medium of frequent
commimication between the sitate and local boards of health. A sum-
ma.ry of the weekly reports of contagioras diseases, m'ade to the State Board,
by the loaal boards, d.s published therein, with other oiriginal anid re-
printed mia.tter of intereisit, or suitable for the guidance or instruction of
health officers and members of boards of health.
In 1891 a call was issued for a meeting of the State Board of Health
and representatives of local boards of health. About forty delegates were
preseni} at this meeting. Annual meeitings have been held regularly since;
the attendance at the meeting for 1901 was nearly or quite four hun-
dred.
The Sitaite Board has endeavored to disiseminate am^ong the people
plain instruiotions for the prevemttion of the dangerous contagious di'seases.
Suitable pamphlets were prepared, and hundreds of thousands of copies have
been distributed. All local bioards of health have been supplied with copies
of these, and when a contagious disease appears in any community they are
urged to distribute the appropriate circuliar to famiMeis having the disease,
and to thear neighbors.
In 1893 an act was passed providing that planis for all propoised water
works or sewerage systems, or for changes or extensions thereof should be
submitted to and approved by the State Board of Health. The Board has
examined and passed upion two hundred and twenty such plans. It has
been able in ijhis way to protect mlany icioinmunities against the introduc-
tion of an impure water supply, ^and to prevent what in some instances
would have been dangerous pollution of sources of existing public water
supplies.
THE STATE BOARD OF DENTAL EXAMINERS.
THE Seventy-FiMi Gememl Asseonbly amended the law Tegujlatiiig the
practice of Dentisitry in Ohio. The wholesale regi'stration per-
mitted by the forrmer law is restricted, and only graduates of
Ohio colleges np to the June meeting of the Board, 1905, anid propriieix>rs
of dental offices continuously since Janiuary 1, 1893, aire permitted to
register wiithout examination.
Thoise who were (gtudentis of dentiisitry with a registered preceptor for
one year prior to the passage of this law may take the examination at any
meeting of the Board during the years of 1902 and 1903. After 1905,
June meeting, every one that desires to practice dentiistry in Ohio must be
a graduate of a reputable Dental Ooilege amid pass the S'tate Board of
Dental examinersi, before a certificate of registration will be issued them,
therefore our law eventually works into a very effective one.
The registration fee is $10.00; the examination fee $20.00. There
have been 3,213 certificates of regis'tration issued sinice the passage of the
former law, which took effect July 4, 1892; however, a great many of
these were issued to persons having no intentions of practickig in Ohio,
but registered because the law was so las — a diploma and fee of $2.00 was
all that wais required.

THE BOABD OP LIVE STOCK COMMlSSlONMS.
W. W. MILLER^ SECRETARY. DR. PAUL FISCHER^ VETERIN-ARIAN.
A CCOEDINa to a law paiseed May 7, 1902, the Ohio Starte Board of
/ \ Agriculture oonistitutes the State Board of Live Stock Commis-
-JL^ \^ sioners. This Boiard appoints a veterinarian, who is subject
to its rules and regulatiorriis, amid, in certain eases, whern deemed advisable,
additional veteriniairiau® may be temporarily aippointeid.
This Board is delegated with power to piresicribe rules for carrying
into effect lanjd euf orcing all the laws of the state with reference to pro-
tecting live stoick and exterminating diseaise, and is authorized tO', and does,
cio-op'erate with the Bureau lof Animal Industry of the United States De^
partment of Agriculture. The scope! oif the Board's work is entirely ad-
ministrative in character, the object being not to treat disease, but to
prevent its spread and provide means for ecradication. Pirevention is
brought about, ais fair ais pioissible, by enforcing the laws forbidding the
transportation of diseased animals through the 'State, and by regulating
the sanitairy condition of stoick-yards and railway cairs and other convey-
ances used foT transporting animals; and also the conditiioni lof buildings
and public and private premiiSes where live stock may be quartered.
The shipments oif southern cattle infested with ticks, the cacrriers of
^siO'uthem cattle fever, are carefully guarded and regulated. Under the rui-es
and regulations of this Board, southern ciattle, w^hich are liable to convey
southern cattle fever (Texais fever) to' native eattle, must be isMpped in
distinctly placarded cars and unloaded in speoial pens pro'vided for that
purpioise. Cars and other conveyances usied for transporting such cattle
must be thoroughly 'diisinfeoted, laocording to prescribed methods, before
they can again be used for transporting iother animals or merchandise of
any kind. In this way 'the ispread of southern cattle fever can be kept
under labisolute control.
When dangerously infectious or iconitagious diseases break out their
further spread is checked by enforcing strict quarantine regulations. In
enforcing these regulations and in ireoeiving information regarding out-
breaks of diangerous diseases the co-operation of live stock owners and
transpoirtation companies is of the greatest value, in fact without such co-
opieration no effective work can be done.
Certain widespread diseases and others of a very malignant nature
receive particular attention. The initroduction of disea'ses at present not
existing in the Uniijed States, but whioh might at any time be introduced
wiith imported animals, such diseases, foT instance, as contagious pleuro-
pneumonia in cattle and foot and mouth disease in caittle, swine and other
animals are guarded with the greatest caution, since their introduction

©nioirmous cosrt to the coaintry. Wliien in the oipinjioTL of the Bioard of Live
Stock Commisisioners it is neceissarj to prevent the further spread of any
dangerousi, eiontagious, or infectious diiseaise, to destroy certiain affe^ctied or ex-
piosed andmiaHs, such ammials, after being examined by the state veterin-
arian] and proniounced affected with the disease in question, may be ordered
destroyed. ¥ot 'andmials thus destroyed the owner receives a, certain ciom-
pensation from the state. Claim,s under this provision must be approved
by the Beard of Live Stock Commissdioners, repiorted by this Board to the
Governor, and by him oommunioated to^ the legiiiskture with the recom-
mendation, if the matter is approved by him, that the proper appropria-
tion be made to pay such claimisi. Thus far this provision has been applied
to glanders in horses and mules., but to no other diseaise.
Animals affected with rabiesi, siouthern cattle fever, shuppox, mamge,
or any other dangerous, infectious or contagious diiseaise, the spread of
which can be icontrolled by isolation of the infected animals, are strictly
quarantined until all danger o^f ciommunicating the diseaise hais passed.
The ciost of the quarantine is always b^orne by the owner of the quarantined
animialis.
Shipmients of live stock imto the state and cars or other conveyances
carrying isuch live stock, are siubject to inspection by the State Veterin-
ariami whenever this is necessary to' enforce any of the rules and regulations
of the Board. The State Veteriuarian is the authorized person to issue
certificates of heialth for animais intended to be ishipped to other states
requiring such certificates.
Special plams for controlling tuberculoisis in cattle and swine anjd
for reducing the loisses occasio>ned by hog cholera are being introduced;
literature relating toi these subjects is from time to time issued by the
State Veterinarian and distributed to all applicants whio may be interested.

THE BOAED OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONERS.
THE Ohio State Libmiry wais established by GrOiyemor Thomias
Woirthingtoai in the year 1817. The general assembly wliich met
December 2, 1816, lappropriiated $3,500.00 las la. contingent fund for
the G^ovemor in 1817. In the snmmeir of thait year GoveLmor Woirthington
visited eiaistern cities to inveistigate the mamiagement of state institutiioms.
While in Philadelphia he determined to pnrchiase ia collection of books
for the establishment lof a state librairy. On his return he authorized the
fitting up of a roiomi above the auditor's office, in the soujth end of the
old state office building, then oai High Street^, immediately south of
the aivenue to' the west enitranK^e of the State House. He deposited thierein
the bookis he had selected — 509 volumes — the beginning of the State Li-
brary. Most of these books are still in the library.
Jiohn L. Harper was the first librarian. Changes in this office were
frequent till 1824, when Zachariah Mills wa:s appointed. He served
eighteen years.
In 1844, the library was placed under a commission consisting of
the Governoir, the Secretary of -State and the State Librarian. The latter
was appointed by the (Governor. In April, 1896, the law was again
changed and the entire managemient of the library was vested in a board
of commissioniers appointed by the GovernoT for a term of six years. They
elect the libirarian and all the assistants.
The State Library was open originally only to state lofficers and miem-
bers of the general assembly. The regulations provided that "the librarian
shall open accounts with the G^ovemor, Secretary, Tireasurer and Auditor
of State, the Judges of the Supreme Court, anid the members of the
general assembly and their clerks.'^ The privilege of drawing books
did not extend beyond the period the legislature was aictually in session.
As late as 1895 books were loaned only to "members arad officiers, and ex-
members and ex-iofflcerig Oif the general assembly ; sitate officers, and clerks
in the several departments of thie state government at Columbus, and
ex-officers of tlie isame; the Judges of the Supreme Court, of the Supreme
Court Commission, of the Circuit Court and the Commoini Pleas Ciourt;
officers and teachers of the bienevoient institutions of the State, and of the
State University ; officers of the Penitentiary ; widows of ex-members and
ex-officers of the general assembly and of ex-state officers; and clergymen
residecQit oif Clolumbus."
Under 'Such regulations the circulatiom. of the library was, of course,
quite limited. In the long period since it was founded many valuable
works have been placed on the shelves that were accessible to the general
public only for purposes of reference in the reading room of the library.
These were sough,t by those Avhoi were engaged in the preparation of some

The newspiaipier files were frequently oonsulted by ©diitors and repoTters.
The boobs had a limited circnlaition anuong state officers and their families.
Membiers of the legis'latuure, a;s ^a rule, found themiselveis too busy to read.
They made frequent use of the state documents kept in the library.
The first boiaird of libra^ry commisisioners under the Grarfield Act of
1896 wais appointed by the Goive:moir in April of that year. The meanbers
were Eutherford B. Hayes, J. F. McGrew and Charles A. Reynolds. One
of the first acts of this, bo^ard was to ^open the library to citizens of the
stiate. The old diistinctiioms iui faivor of state offioiials W'ere in large measure
removeid. Citizens of ithe state who' desire to' draw boioks now do so by
furnishing the library bioard a siatisfaietory guaranteei, or by making appli-
cation through their local library. Those living in distant parts of the state
miay boirrow biooks by piaying transportation both ways. The books aire
not sent out indiiscrimiinately. Earei land valuable works are not issued
for use outside of the library. Those in the 'Circulating depar'tmient, how-
ever, are issued freely on the same conditions tO' all citizens.
While it contains works in almoist every depairtment of literature,
the librrary is strongest in state publicationsi, government documients, his-
tory and its related birancheis, bound perioidicals, and newspaper files.
In recent years a systemiatic effort has been made tO' add to the early liter-
ature relating to the 'state. The work of collecting has necessarily been
slow, but the very sub'stantiall progress already madei warrtants the hope
that this may soon becomiei the best reference librairy in the country in all
things pertaining to Ohioi.
There are at preisent (November 15, 1902) 81,876 bound volumes in the
S'tate Librairy. Of these 20,076 are in the
TRAVELING LIBRARY DEPARTMENT.
This department was organized in the summer of 1896. A tnaivel-
ing librairy iis a collection of from twenty-five to thirty-five books sent
out by the State Library to a reading club, an aissoeiation of citizens,
a board of education ocr la, public library, to be kept three months, with
privilege of renewal.
The iobjects of the department arre: 1. To furnish gotod liteiiature
to patrons. 2. T'o strengthen small libraries. 3. To create an interest
in the establishment of new libraries.
On receipt oif a, request on the formis furnished by the State Library,
properly filled and signed by the members of the club, the officers of a
free public library, bioiard of education, or other association, the books will
be shjippeid. The parties receiving the books must pay transportation both
wayis.

THE STATE BOAED OF PAEDONS.
THE Ohio State Board of Pardoius was created by an act of the
General Aasembly of Ohio, April 11, 1888. The aict provided
the Goivernor should nomdniate, and by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate^ appoint four suitable persons having the qnalifi-
oa/tion,s of electors, tv^o of v^hom should be appointed from each, of the
two leading political parties. Two of the members thereof, appointed
from the same political party should serve for one and three years re-
spectively, and two members thereof, appointed from the other political
party should serve for two and four years, respectively ; and that thero'-
after the Governor in like manner should appoint a member of said
board, of like qualifications and from the same political party as the
member whoan he succeeds, who shall serve for four years.
The aict further pcFovided that the Boarrd should organize by electing
one of their number piresident, and it was made the duty of the executive
clerk of the Governor to act as Secretary.
The Board meets regutoly on the fiirst Thursday- after the second
Monday in Jaimiary, and on the same day every third month thereafter,
and at such other times as they may deem necessary.
The Bioard has formulated rules for the guidance of the applicants,
which, together with other blanks, can be secured from the Secretairy, at
the GoveTnoir'is office.
All oases presented to the Boaird are heard by the entire Boa[rd, and
the cases separately ref e[rred to some member of the Boaird for investiga-
tion, who makes a wroittien report toi the entire Boaa^d at its next meeting,
when the report ds aidopted oir rejected, and together with aill othier papers
is transmitted to the Governor for his consideration.
The Bioard makes an annual written report, to the Governor on the
fiirst Monday in December of each year, of its actions during the last
preceding year, its officers and membensi, and the names thereof, with a rec-
ommendation for such legislation ais they think proper in order tO' earry
out more fully the object and purpoes of its creation.
Under the constitution and laws, the Governor can not pass upon or
grant a pardon until after the ease has been submitted to the Board of
Pardons, and passed upon by that body, except in cases speoiiically men-
tioned in the statutes.
The Board was created for the purpose of relieving the Governor
of the task of examining manifold papers and documients, which con-
sumied a large part of his time, to the detriment of other impiotrtant public
business.

THE STATE BOARD OP PUBLIC WORKS.
THE Sitaite of Oihio', in thie year 1827, opiemed for public use a system
of canials which cioninocited the wateirs of Lake Erie on the north,
with thoise of the Ohio River on the isomth, by twoi inland water
ways which traversed the istaifce in its eiaistern and wesitetrn 'divisions. The
eastern ^system was generally known as the "Ohio'^^ canal, anid eaten'ded
from the Cuyahoga river at Cleveland to the Ohio river at Portsmonth,
tapping in its rente directly ot by braniches, the valleys of the Cuyahoga,
Ttiscairawas, Muiskingumi, Licking, Hocking, and Sioioto Rivers, and form-
ing water ways between the cities of central and eastern Ohio. This canal
system necessitated the bnilding of 308 miles of pnblic works, over a
route which varied in heiight above the lake level from 395 feet at Akron
lockisi, only 35 miles fro^m Cileveland, to 317 feet at Licking sunnnit, and
falling less than 100 feet beiow the level of the lake as the canal enters
Portsmouth, 308 mdles toi thei south.
The western system, kno^wni as the "Miami and Erie Canal,^^ is 245
miles long, extending from Toledo to Cincinnati, and pienciing the western
tier of counties.
The act to pcrovide for navigable canails was passed by the TWenty-
third General Assembly Pebruairy 4, 1825. Work was begun in the siame
yeaT, and was continued until the reservoirs were completed in 1842. The
f O'Uowing figures aire of interest.

THE BUEEAU OF LABOE STATISTICS.
COMMIS'SIONEE of LiafooT Staitistios Michael D. Eafticihford, the
iSTUbject lol this -sikeitch, wais boim ini Claire, Irielaind, in 1860. Mi-
gmimg with his ptairents to^ Stark coiiiinty, Ohioi, some ten years
lateir, he aittendeid the public scho'olis there until he reached his twelfth
year, at which lage he entered the mines where he labored for more than
twenty conisiecutive years. His education, howerv^er, was prinoipaily acquired
by attending evening scliool, and by caireful home study during the earlier
yeains of his occupation in mining.
Mir. Eiatchford, although miainly conservative in his views upion the
Labor queistion, wais an aictive trade unionist;, and as such he realized the
growing needs of a thoroiuglh organization of mine workers, and labored
unoeaisingly to that end. He wais elected to and served in the office of
President of the Massillon, Ohio, miners, 1890-92 ; General Organizer,
1893-94: President Ohio Miners, 1895-96; President of the United
Mine Workers of Ameirioa,, 1897-98. It was while serving in the chief exec-
utive office that he established and put into practice a working-day of eight
hours; instituted mutual relations and an annual wage oontraict between
mine workers and operators through which strikes have since been
averted; and made uniform tlie conditions of mining throughout the
bitnminous coal fields.

THE OANAL COIkJMISSION.
IN THE year 1887, Hon. Jacob A. K'oibler, Attomey G-eneral, ciailleid
the aitteintioii of Gor^'ernor Foraker and the Board of Puhlic Works
to tho valuahle state prroperty, in the city of Akron, that had been
unlawfully taken po'ssession of by individuals an'd corporatioms, - and
shortly thereafter, ten civil acitions;, aigainst as rniany different defendants,
were oomm,enced to recover state property valned at one huudred thou-
sand ($100,000.00) dollars.
When the succeeding Gentral Assembly convened, the governor
recommended that a oommission be created to ascertain what lands the
State owned; thereupon Bon. J. Park Alexander, of Summit oounty,
introduced a bill, embodying the ideas of the governor and attorney gen-
eral, creating '^sl commission to establish the boundaries and lines of the
■canals, canal basins, reservoars, etc., of the State by actual surveys by
metes and biounds, together with maps aind plats of the samo, and to de-
fine and protect the ownership and titles in and to all lands belonging to
and conneoteid with said canals.^^
Su!bsequentiy, the duties of the icommission were enlarged by adding
to its work tho duties previonsly perfotrmed by the swamp' land commiiS-
sioner, and providing for the recording of all doicuments, mapisi, plats
and records in any wi'se 'appertaining to the title of any real estate for-
moirly belonging to^ or now oiwned by the State.
The loornmission is generally called a "Canal Ciotamission," but should
be called a land oonimission, as it ha,s nothing tO' do with the navigation
or ma,nage:ment of the canals, and has noi relation whatever to the old
board of canal ciommij^sionebs that laid out and oonistructed the pnblic
works of the State.
The duties of the coonmisision are to locate and define the Staters
property, to reciover suidh p'Oirtions of it a,s are found in the unlawful pois-
session of individnals and coirporations, to lease such portions of it as
are not necessary for canal purpioses, to acquire title to swamp lands and
to' collect the cash indemnity due for such lands when they have been
disposed of by the United States.
The oiriginal act v?ai9 passed Mairch 28, 1888, and shortly thereafter
G^overnoT Foraker appointed as membeirs of iSaid commissi'on, Grcneral
William H. Gibson of Seneca ciomnfy, Col. Charles F. Baldwin of Knox
county, and Judge Alexander S. T;atty of Defiance county, General Gib-

The Canal Commission.
son beinig ma.de presidecrift, Judge Latty vice president, and T. C. Ryan oif
Wasbingtooi county, secretary. Col. BaiMfwin resigned after a few mointihs'
serviae, and Hon. R. M. Eownd of Fl'anklin county, was appiointed in
his place.
The commissifjners foTind that theire wasi practically nothing with
which to commeince their lahors. The original surveys and maps of the
canals had all disiappeared along vvith the boofcs that showed the awards
otf damages paid for lands appropriated for canals and reiservoir pnr-
pOises. Fortunately a half doEcni of these books were found in a conjsdgrir
ment of old paper that had been shipped to one of the paper mills on the
Miami and Erie cf^nal, and were finally reistiored to the State, where they
have been of inestimable value in aiding the recovery of State property.
The first three or fonr years may be called the period of surveys and
discovery. More than twelve hundred miles of transit lines have been
run since the commencement of the canals and reservoir survey si, while
hundreds of moniument/S have been planted to perpetuate the lines estab-
lished for the boundaries of the State property. In addition, the title
to lands owned by the State, at one time and another, aggregated one
million two hundred and thirty thousand five hundred and twenty-tWo
(1,230,522) acres> have been recorded in the records of the office.
Twenty-three large volumes of maps have been completed and bound
in conveni'jmt book form, and others are in prolcesis of completion.
These maps when completed will embrace the entire canal system,
including the canals, reservoirs, basins., wide-waters, feeiders, raceways,
water- powers', hydranlics, dams, slack-waters, locks, aqueductsi, bridges,
culverts, bulk-hjeads, waste-weirs, and in fact nearly every thing pertain-
ing tO' the public works of the State.
In addition to these, plats have been made of all the swamp^ lands
in the no'rthwestern part of the State. This was necessary in order to
determine the indemnity due the sitate, from the United States, for swamp
lands, and the commission has filed claims foir swamp land indemJnity
aggregating $121,6<Jl.6i6, which claims are pending for hearing before
the secretary of the interior.
The net results to the State from the work of the commission in
lands recovered, and lands leased and sold, is approsimateiy $1,000,000.00,
and this will- be substantially increaised if pelnding litigation results in
favor of the State.
The fixed piolicy of the commission has been to lease the State lands
rather than to sell them in order that the State may derive a steady in-
come from the same.

THE DEPARTMENT OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
The office of staifce ciom'niissiioai'eir lof oommjon schools is a statutoiry and
nio't a (aomstitii'tiOTLail office, the act of Ma,reh 12, 1836, being the virtual
foT'matioin oif the pTOsent ischool systeun of the state. La,wisi pTeyionsly
enacted had not been so broad o-r libeiml in their treatment of education
ais this act which created the office of superintendent of common schools
and pirovided that the officer should be electeid by joint resolution of the
Gi-enjeral Assembly. The term was fixed at oine year and the mla.Tj at
$500.00. Oni April 1, 1837, Samuel Lewisi of Hamilton county was duly
elected. H'e filed his first report at the oonveming of tbe Greneral As-
sembly, and on January 16, 1838, that body ordered 10,500 volumes of it
printed. On Miarch 7, 1838, an act reiorganizing the school laws of the
state was passed and under isectiou eight thereof the term of the state
Superintendent was fixed at five years unless the incumbent was removed
by joint resolutiooa. The salary waisi placed at $1,200.00. T'wo' days later
Mr. Lewis was eteotied for ithe term of five years. On March 23, 1840,
the offiioe of state Superintendent was abolished lamd the duties which he
had performed devolved upon the Secretary of State, who wais authorized
to employ a iclerk to do th& woirk ait sl salary of $400.00. This law con-
tinued in force until Mairch 14, 1853, when the office 'of .state commissioner
of coanmion schools was again created.
This law provided that the officer should be choisen at the general
election, and ithe term wais fixed at three years, the salary being plaiced at
$1,500.00. The duties of the commissioner were plainly prescribed and
provision made that while he was absent on official vists to the various

OHIO^S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
T'be educaitional isystem of Obio bas, from, i-ts inception, been strictly
democratic in its nature:, tbe managem'ent and snpport of tbe scbools
beinig left almiotstt entinely in: tbe banids of tbe residents of tbe viarious
scbool disitric'ts.
Tbe staite is divided into districts, claissified as city districts of tbe
iirst grade of tb)e first claisis; city districts of tb'e sieoond grade of tbe
first class; city idistricts of tbe tbiird grade of tbe first class; city dis-
tricts of tbe first class ; city districts of tbe isecomd class ; village districts ;
special districts and to wnsbip districts. Tbe scbools are governed by boards
of edTioation, isiel acted by ihQ electoirs of tbe various districts. In 1894
tbe electo'ral framcbise for tbe election of scbool officers was conf erred upon
women amd tbis law still continues in force, but is not gen'eirally taken ad-
vainitaige of by tbe ladies. Tbe number of membeirs in boards of ediuoation
in city districts of tbe first class va,rieig from five members in Tbledo to one
fro'm eacb ward in Cincinnati. In city districts of tbe second class and
viilaige districts tbe noimber is six, in speoial districts tbree or six. Town-
sbip districts aire ddviided into snb-idistricts witb one member of tbe board
from eacb subdi strict. PrioT to 1893 tbe subdistrict iscbools were in reality
governed by a board of subdirectoirs consisting of tbree members, one of
wbom wais elected as member of tbe townsbip' bioard, but in tbat yeair tbe
boaird lof isubidirectoTS was^ abolisbed' and tbe entire autbority conferred upon
tbie townsbip boaird. This idid not give entire satisfaction, consequently,
in 1898, tbe boaird of subdireotors was re^establisbed, but witb tbe poweT
of 'recommendation only, final action by 'tbe townsbip' board being neces-
sary. Tbe management and -control of tbe scbools is vested in tbe several
boairds of educatiom witbout active supervision of any nature. Sbould
boards exceed tbeir autbo'rity or becomie derilect in tbeir duty, recourse can
only be bad tbrougb tbe courts of la.w.

SCHOOL-BOOK LAWS.
Tihei firsit law reilaiting tO' the mse of text books ini ihe schjoiols of Oihio
was paissed April 32, 1885. It required boards of educatiooi' to "adopt text
books and pirohibiited any change in the same within five years, exoept by a
three-fourths vote. A prroyiision was alsoi maide authorizing boards to pro-
vide free text books.
On the 28th day of April, 1890, an amendment toi this law was passed
providing for a school hoolc hoard, compioised of the GoveirnoT, State
Cormmiigsioner of Common Sichools, Supervisor of Public Printing, and two
pie[Psons to be appiointed by the OovetmoT. This boarrd wais authorized to
pass upon all books used in the sichoiols and to fix a price upion the same
not to exceed eighty percent of the publisher's wholesale list pirioe, and
in case no satisfaictoiry books could be isecured the board was authorized to
^.<iceave bids fnom publishers and aiuthors for furnishing text books, and
iieport the result of the same to the next session of the General Assembly
for action thereon.
On M:ay 4, 1891, the last-mentioned law was repealed, and a new law
enacted changing the membership' of the ^'State School Book Boiard" to
the GoVernoT and Seoretairy of State with the State CiO^mmissioner of Com-
mon Schools las secretary. The principal pirovisions of the former law
were retained, with further provisions in regard to' publication, of text
books by the state and a reduction in the maximum price to seventy-five
percent of the wholesale list price. The law mow in foirce was piaissed April
22, 1896, making the State Commissioner of Common Schooik a member
of the State Schoiol Boiok Coimmission together with the Governor and
Secreta,ry of State. The main provisions^ of the foTmea* law were retained,
the method of enfoircing the law and carrying the same into effect being
simplified.
Under this law the schools of Ohio aire provided with good text books
at a reasonable price and boiairds of education have the power of providing
free text bookig if they so desire.

M
R. J. -C. MORRIS, Commiasioner otf Riailroiads aind Tfeleigraphs,
wais boirn in Yo^ungstioiwui, Ohio^ Augrust 18, 1856, aind was edu-
cated in the public sidioiols of th'at city. But while yet a bay he
secured employment in a local grocery stioire and continued in that em-
ploi3rment until his nineteenth year, when he began railroading. His first
employment was as a brakeman. Thfen he became baggagemasteT. From
this he was p,romoted to the poisition of conductocr of a^ freight train.
After a number of years' seryice in this capacity he became general yard-
master, remaining in that piosition until he isecured a passenger train, which
he continued to run as its conductor until he was appiointed Chief In-
spector in the office of the State Commissioner of Railroadia and Tele-
graphs, faithfully performing the duties of this appointmient until the 16th
day of March, 1901, at which timie he was appointed Commissioner of
Railroads and Telegraphs.
During all this long perioid of railway sierviice — 26 years in all —
he was in the employ of the Erie Railway Company, a fact that speaks
well for the character oif the service he rendered.
He is a married man, having been married to MisB Elmma Morris of
youngstown, Ohio, on April 28, 1878. They have four children, all boys.
Mr. Morris is a Mason^ a K, of P., and a member of the Order of Railway

THE DEPARTMENT OF RAILROADS AND TELEGRAPHS.
The D'epairtmjeint of tibe ConuniiSSiioLQieir of Bailroiaids laiid T'eleigraphs
was 'CTeartled by an act of th'e Fifty'-Slef^^e^nJth Greneral Aissembly piasseid
Apiril 5, 1867, which required the appodntmerat of the offieeir within fif-
teen days after the paisisiage of the act, and p'resccribeid his duties. He has
'd general piolice anthoirity over roads opierating in Ohioi, and is re-
quired tO' give careful aittentojon to' the oonstrucitiion, opeiration and main-
tenance of the Toaids and their equipment iSO far a;s these matteris relate to
the safety and general welfare lof the publici. The following extract from
the report of the ClOimmiissioner for the year 1901, jusit ended, is ai tribute
to' the friendly readiness of the railroad companies to safeguard the pub-
lic, ae well as an inidieation of the: watchfulness of the department:
The safety of the public at grade highway cirossings with steam roads
hais required pairticular attention during the paist year. N'umerous com-
plaints were filed, all of which were piromptly investigated and such action
taken as-, in the opinion of the Commisisioner, was warranted by the sur-
rounding oonditionsi.
From a personial inispeiction, I am pleased to be able to report that
the railroads oif Ohio', with but a. few exceptions, have reached the highest
standard of excellence with respect tO' the physical oondition of their
roadbeds.
The rolling istoick of many of the railroads has been greatly im-
proved by the addition of large installments of engines and cars of the
latest patterns.
The work of interlooking grade croissings of railroaidsi has beien prog-
ressing rapidly. The railroad coanpanies see the impiortance of protecting
the crossingis of their tracks^, lat grade, with the tracks of other railroads,
mot only for the purpose of enabling them to run their trains over such
crossings without stopping, but al&O' for the protection of life and prop-
erty. A total of 184 applications for the approval of plans and specifi-
cations of interlocking planbs have been filed in this Depai'*tment. There
are now 154 interlockors in operation in Ohio. During the past cialen-
dar year 9 new inlerlockers have been oonstriTcted land placed in service.
The impiroved oondition of the roadbed, the equipment of engines and
cars with automaitic couplers and air brakes, and the installation of in-
terlocking devices has had the deisired effeict of reducing accidents to a
minimum.

ecraition of 'Steam boilers and ^engines by inooimpetent engineers and othjers ;
and provides that it shall be unlawful for any pierson, to operate, or cause to
be operated, a stationary steam boiler or lengine, in the State of Ohio, of
more than thirty horsepiower, without a duly licensed engineer in charge.
And any person who desires to aict a© a stationary engineer is required toi

blank furnished by thie examiner, providing he has had not less than one
year's expeirienoe as a fireman or oiler, and if he piaisses the required exam-
ination upon the construction and operation of steam, engineis, boilers, pumps
and hydraulics, a liieense is granted him to have charge of, or operajte,
any steam plant. The fee for lieense is $2.00, and licenses are renewed
yearly at a. cost of $1.00, providing they are noit sooner revoked for intoxi-

OHIO FISH AND GAME COMMISSION.
THE Ohio' Eiish arad Gam;e CiomnrnssTOii wasi creaited iru 1886, and
iiS ciompiOised of five members, appoiimted by the Govermor, who serve
for five years eaoh wiitibout oompeiiustation, except their actual
expeniises incurred in the perf ormiance of thieir duties. The law defirLes the
duties of the Commiissioners las foiUowis: "Tlo ecKamdne the various rivers,
lakesi, piond'S and streams in ^the Statei, or bordering th'ereoni, and to asccT-
tain whethjer they oan be rendered moire productive of fish and game, and
wiha:t mieasures are required to effect this, obgect, either in restoring the
production of fish and game in and about them, oir in protecting and pTop'a-
gtating the fish which at present frequent and abolund in them, or otherwise ;
and the Comlmdsisdonieirs shall oairry intO' effect all measures in this behalf,
that they deem necessary, so fa^ as means are plaioed at their disposal for
these purposes; and thiey shiall also inquire into' thje matter of artificial
propiagation of fish in the waters of the State, and adopt suicih plans tO' test
the efficiency of this miode of increasing the quality of edible fish ais they
think best/'
T'o carry into* effect the laws piroviding for the preservation of game
and the p^roiteation lof lanid-O'wn'ersi from trespiass against those who hun/t
illegally, the Ciommission maintains an extensive foToe oi wairdens, deputy
state wa.rdens and special wardenjs, and by these a large numbeir of arrests
and convictions are made each year. In addition toi the county wairdens
special wardens are appointed for all the public lakes and reservoirs of the
state, anid there ane also special wairdenis foT Lake Erie.
In the maitter of propagating fish the Oommissiion maintains a fine
hatchery near London, Ohio, where black bms, miairble cat, and other
species of edible fish are raised and at the; piroper time are distributed to
the public streams and lakes througihiout the State. A hatchery foir the
artificial p^ropiagation of take fish is also miaintained at S'amdusky, and
within the next year a new hatchery is to be located at some other point on
Ohio soil bordering Lake Erie. The lake fishing interegts being of great
miagnitude and importance, the work of the Ciommission in respect to
ptropagating these fish is lone lof vital necessity. Thie Commission has a.a
oomplished great good in its various endeavors, aind there is every reaison to
believe that the future will be even more productive of satisfactory results.
The prresent pertsonnel of the Ciommdssion is as follows : J. L. Rodgerrs,
Presidient, Cb-kimbus ; Thomatsi B. Pa,xton, Cincinnati ; D. W. Greene, Day-
ton; Paul North, Clevekinid, and E. M. Kennedy, McConnellsville. Thie
Secretary of the Commission, is George C. Blankner, of Oolumbus. Thje
aiofcive field woTk of the Comimission, which mieans the control of aill ward-
ens, is under the charge of Mr. J. C. Poirterfield, Chief Wairdien, of Oolumbus.

THE STATE FIRE MAESHAL.
SD. HOLLENBE-CK, the first State Fire Marshal O'f Ohio, was
boTTL in Greauga cou'nty, Ohioi, August 19, 1850. He rec'eived
• hiis early eiduoaitioin im the oommon schools, afterward attended
the Weistem Eeserve at Hrudson, Ohio, and later graduated in a commercial
course at Hiraim College.
In 1887 he was elected auditor of Geauga, ooainty, and was four
timieis chosen foT that important office. Prom hi,s youth up' he hia,s been
])romirient in politics — a recognized leader in local affairs — ^and also
prominent in State piolities.
He is a ready speaker and noted foT the originality of his ideais
and clearnesisi of expiression. His long experience^ in the audito'r^s office
during the tax-inquisitorial days gave him an experience along the de-
tective line, which proves to be valuable in his present position.
While the law creating the office of Fire Marshal was in no sense a
political one, yet the manner of appiointmient by the GovernoT makes it a
political office and subjects the mairshal to the changes incident to poli-
ties, but while Mr. Hollenbeck is a stromg party man, he propioses that the
mianagemient and op'erationis of the bureau shall be absolutely non-politioal.

DUTIES OF THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL
The acit which established th^e office of the State Fire Marshal wias
piaisseid by the Sevenity-fourth General Assembly on the 16th day of Apiril,
1900, and on May 30, G-overnior Nash, by the anthoTity given him imider
this aict, lappointed S. D. Hollenbeck, of Chairdon,, Geanga county, Ohio,
to be the first State Fire Manshal.
Under the pro'visionis of the aict it becomes the duty of the Fire
Miarshal to cause an investigation of all fires which occur in the State,
with the object in view of reducing, if possible, the enoTmO'US fire waste,
lessening the loss toi insuramce compianies, and thereby reducing in-
surance premiums. It is also hi© duty to miaike an investigation of in-
flammable and oither conditions from which fires are liable to originate,
and have the same remedied ot removed. For mamy years, on account
of the difficuilty cormiected wiith establishing the crime of arson, very few
inoendiaTiea have been punished in the State, the total average per year
nioit exceeding two. Estima,ting the loss caused by incenidiary fires upon
the best inf oirmaition to be obtained, the total loiss to the people of the
State resulting from isuch fires will iamiounit to from twenty to forty per-
cent of the total fire waste of the State each year. The wisdom of the
legislature in prioviding some means of reducing this waste is therefore
apparent. Tb assist the Fire Marahal in carrying out the objecit of the aot,
th'e State was divided by him into seven districts and a division assistamit
to the Fire Marshal was appointed for each district, to^ whom, under the
pipovisions of the law, to'wnship clerks, mayoirs of villages and chiefs of
fire depairtments report all fires occurring in their respective territotries. All
fires repoirited as suspicious aire investigated by the assistant, and where
necessity requires one of the two deputies appointed by the Fire Marshal
goes to the scene of the fire and holds lan inquest. The testimony of all
witnesses who have knJowledge of the fire, is taken in writing under oath.
If the facts wairnant, an arrest is made and the guilty piarty biound over to
the grand jury, indicted and tried foir arson. The office is pirovided with
a correspioniding clerk and a staitistician, whose duties are to keep a com-
plete amid classified record of all fires and their causes. The office has
already miet with unexpected success in the pTosecution of inoenidiaries
and a goodly number of fire-bugs who, through the effoirts of the offi^ce
are now in the "Pen," will be prevented for some time from carrying out
their nefarious calling oif setting fire to buildings for ithe purpoise of se-
curing insurance ot for any oth'er mo'tive. Below will be found a oom-
plete raster of the employes of the depairtmient, together with their post-
office addresses

1875, by whicli time the work had been, praicticially completed and a pub-
lished report made in several volumes. The work was begun under Pro-
fessor John S. Newberry and completed under Profeseor E'dward Orton,
who' had been closiely identified with its details and p:ractioal executiion from
its inception. The professorship O'f State Geologist is now aittached to the

The work of the bureau is largely that of auditing the annual re^
poirts of the associations, pomting 'Out to such associations such prac-
tices as may contravene the law and requiring their abandoninent; fur-
nishing legal and other advice tO' such aissociations; examining such as-

THE INSPECTOR OF MINES.
ELMER 0. BIDDISON, the presenft Ohief Inspector of Mines,
was bom in Mioinroe township, Perry oonnty, OMiO', Ootober
23, 1863. His early life was spient on a farm located in Trimble
township, Athens county, Ohio. In the year 1880 the development of
the Snn'day Creek vialley ooial fields wais begun. The subject of this
sketch, being desirous of securing a better eduoation than that afforded
in the country schools, engaged in work ait the coal mines with a view
of being better able to earn means to accomplish his purpose. Enough
funds were earned through laboring at the mines, and in Oither vocatiions,
to defray his expenses foT three years' schooling at the Ohio Univefrsity
at Athens, Ohio. In 1887 he engaged in mining engineering and sur-
veying, and followed that vocation until Decemjber'l, 1891, at which time
he was elected County SurveyoT of Athens coumty, Ohio. He served in
this capacity for a period of six years. At the expiration of this time he
was elected Treasurer of the county, holding that position foT four years.
On May 1, 1900, he was appointed Chief Inspector of Mines by Governor
GeoTge K. Nash.

A REVIEW OP THE OHIO STATE MINING DEPARTMENT.
In the year 1871, owing toi a oarbaiSitrophe oocnmng in the Avondale
Mine, lotciated in tihe lainttihracite region of Pennsylvania., in which one
hundred anid nine persons lost their lives for the want of a second opening,
the miners of this state held meetings and signed petitions requesting
that laws be enaicted to regulate and ventilate mines, and that an author-
ized official supervisor be appiodnted. These pietitions were presented to
the Senate by Senator Wioodworth, of Mahondng county, and were re-
ferreid to a select committee of seven senators from the mining regions of
the staite. This committee authorized Senator Daugherty toi prepare a bill
on the subject. Six lof the seven senators recommended the passage of the
bill, but it was met with persistent oppoisition from interested parties.
Senator Woodworth thereupon introduced a joint resolution in the
Senate, authorizing the Governor to appoint a. commission, of three com-
petent persons, one or more of whom should be practical miners, to inspect
the leading coal mines of the state in regard to ventilation, means of in-
gress and egress, and all O'ther matters affecting the lives and health of
the miners ; and aisio to inquire intO' the cause of strikeiS' and report to the
Governor, for the use of the Legislature, the facts found in the premises,
reoommending 'suich legislation as in 'the judgment of the commission
the faicts might demand. Governor Hayes appointeid a board oompoised
of the following members : Charles Reemelin, of Cincinnati ; B. F. Skinner,
of Pomeroy; and Andrew Eoy, of Glen Eoy, Ohio. This board wasi on
duty four months. In the month of January of the following year (1872)
the report of the co'mmisisioners was laid before the Legislaiture. Senator
Jones, of TtumbuU eounty, chairman of the Ciommittee on Mines and
Mining in the Senate, introiduced the bill for the ventilaition anid inspeic-
tion of mines at 'this sessiiotn, which, although passing the Senate by a unani-
mous vote, -failed to secure a, constitutional majority in the House, and a
substitute by Representative Conrad, of Portage county, was made a law.
This isubistitute eontained all the provisions of the Senate bill, except as
to the official supervision of the mines by the state. Owing to the fact
that it faileid to provide for the inspection of mines, its precepts and
provisions were disregarded by nearly every mine owner in the state. Ac-
cordingly Governor Hayes, in his next annual message to the Legislature,
called attention to its defects, and urged the Legislature to' ©oi amend
the law as to pirovide for authoirized official supervision; otherwise it
would continue to be for the moist pairt inoperative. Mr. Sterling, of the
House, introduced a bill snppleimentary to and amendatory of the law,
as enaicted, piroviding for a state inspector of mines, and prescribing hi*
duties, but this failed to become a law.
582 THE\ BIOGRAPHICAL. ANNALS OP OHIO.
The Inspector of Mines.
However, diiiring tbe early part of the session of the Legislature,
tmy bills were iiitroiduced in the Honsie of Eepresentatives for the inspec-
tioai of mimes, ome by Mr. McLain, of TlrumbuU oonnty, the other by Mr.
BaJier, of Perry 'ooainty. The MoLain bill wais amendatoiry to the aict in
force, and had the same object in view as the bill introduced by Mr.
Baker, but the Biaker bill, oontaining the whole a(ot, wais adopted in oom-
mittee as being simpler thaai the other, and it beoame a law.
On April 6, 1874,Wm. Allen, Governor of Ohio, appointed Andrew
Boy, Diell Eoy, Ohioi, to be thie first Inspector of Mines. On April 18,
1881, a law was enacted by the G^eneral Assembly providing for the ap-
pointment of an aissistant Inspector lof Mines, and on June 4, of the
same year Jacob I. Klein, of Stark county, was appointed to fill that po-
sition by State Mine Inspector Andrew Boy, by and with the approval of
the G^overnor.
On April 11, 1884, a bill wais introduced m the House, which was
subsequently amended by the Senate, and passed in its amended form,
creating the ioffice of Chief Inspeetor of Mines, with an aissistant designated
ais a District Inspector in each district. The state was divided into three
districts, and three District Inspectors appointed. This was due to the
rapid growth of the mining industry, and the great increase in the num-
ber lof mines, which in turn, increased the amount of work to be done
in the office, making it impossible for the Inspector, with one assistant,
to perform these duties in a satisfactory manner.
On March 24, 1888, the Grcneral Assembly amended Seotiion 290 of
the Revised Statutes, providing for the lappointment of five District In-
spectors instead of three. Again on April 18, 1892, Sectiion 290 of the
Revised Statutes was revised and supplemented by an aidditional Sec-
tion, by the General Assembly, which provided for the appointment of
seven District Inspectors. This numbea* has been maintained up to the
present time. The following is a list of the Chief Inspectors of Mines, and
the term of loffice serveid by each, since the creationi of the depairtment, to-
gether with a list 'of the Deputy Mine Inspectors, and the time served by
each :

THE BIOGRAPHICAL^, ANNALS OP OHIO. 593
The Secretary of State.
The DepiaTitment oi State ds one of the miost impoTtant divisions of
the executive branch of the state government.
Under the Constitution of 1802, the Secretary of State was ap^
pointed by the General Asgembly;, and the duties of the office conjsisted
mainly, to nise the wiordis of the old Constitution, in keeping a "register
of all official acts and proceedings of the Governor."
The office, however, under the Constitution of 1851, was made elective,
and elevaited tO' the dignity of a, department; and by virtue of that Consti-
tution and subsequent legislatiom thereunder, some of the most import-
ant executive anjd administrative functions of the state government are
devolved upon this offioe.
The Secretary of State is made by law the custodian of the acts of
the General Assembly, and undeir his isupervision "the same are printed
and published, and by him all exemplificationis of the same; are required
to be authenticated, and all commissions issued by the Governor to be
countersigned.
In this office also, under general statutes, all incorporations are re-
quired toi be icreated. Eecent legislation, imposing upon domestic and
foreign coirpoTataons taxation, oir privilege fees based upon capital istock,
which the Secretary of Sitate is required to colleict and pay into the state
treasury, makes this department one of great conisequence and import-
ance to the state.
The Secretary of State:, by virtue of his office, is a. member and the
secretary of the State Sinking Fund Commissioners, president of the
Boiard of Printing Commissioners, membeir of the Decennial Board of
ippofrtionment for legislative purposes, member lof the State Board of
Appraisers and Assessors, and of the State Building Commission.
He is also, by virtue of his offioe, made State Supervisor of Elections,
and ais such has the power of appointment and removal of the members of
the various hioards of Deputy Supervisors of Elections in the various
counties, is required to collate and publish the election laws of the state,
to determine the arrangement of the biallot, and prepiare and furnish
forms and instructions to the various county b'oards of eleatioms, to re-
ceive and file cerrtificates of nominatioins, ot nominartion papers for presi-
dential electorrs and state officens, ito hear and determine objeotions or
other questions as to the validity of said papers, tO' decide upon the validity
of all nomination piapers of a county, district, subdivision of the district
oir cincuit, when the oounty, district or circuit board, authorized to pass
apon these papers, fail tO' decide, and a decision of the Secretary of State
upon these questions is final.

THE STATE BOAiRD OF EQUALIZATION.
STATE BOARDS OF EQUALIZATION OF REAL PROPERTY FOR TAXATION.
Method of valuing real property in Ohio.
By AN ACT O'f the Genieiral Assembly in 1825, the metbod O'f assess-
ing taxes upon real property wMeh 'hiad been in vogue from the
beginning of the state goverrnmemt, and which was baised npon
sepacration of lands into diffeirent classes foT taxation, was abolished, and
the prreisent method was put in force. Briefly it is this: Land Appraisers
are elected in each ward and township at stated periods who assess a tax
value upon the land in their respdctive districts. This is reported by them
to the County Board of Equalization which is composed of three County
Coimmissioners, the County Surveyor and the County Auditor. The
County Board of Equalization has power to equalize the value assessed
against the property of the isieparate individuals and to increase or decrease
the said values provided the total duplicate returned by them shall not
fall below the total of all property returned to them by the local Land
Appraisers. The finding of the County Board is then reported through the
Auditor of State to a State Board of Equalization, which is elected by
the people oif thie several Senatorial Districts in Ohio, and which is com-
posed of ais many members as the next preceding Senate. Under the
present law, the Land Appraisers are elecited in the fall of the ninth year
in eaich decaide; perform their duties and mal?e their report to the County
Boards in the following spring; the returns are acted upon by the County
Board in the summer and fall of the tenth year oif each decade, in which
year the State Board is elected at the November eleiction and begins its
decennial term of from four to six months, in December following the
election. In additioin to the equalizatioin by County anid State Boards,
the property in each city is equalized, as between individuals, by City
Boardis of Equalizatioini, whose reports of valuations are made to the
Co'unty Auditor and by him transmitted to the State Board along witili
his report lof the action of County Board in his oonnty. The County
Boards of Equalization have no authority over the valuations of prop-
erty within eities having separate bioards. The State Board of Equaliza-
tiom equalizes valuationis between counties and cities, but has no' jurisdic-
tion over individual valuations.
T'he following tables show the membership of the State Boards of
Equalization from 1825 to 1902, the first State Board being elected by the
Greneral Assembly then in sesision ( December 15, 1825) one member for
each oongressional district:

THE TREASURER OF STATE.
ISAAC B. CAMERON", of Lisbon, Columbiaaia oounty, the present
T'reaisurer of State, wia© boirn iiii the city of Nairn, Scotlanjd. When
he was yet an infant, his widowed mother emigrated to America
to better her condition and provide greater faicilities for the education of
her family, of which the 'snbjeict of this sketch wias the youngest of six,
believing that in so doing ishe would afford them moire abundant oppor-
tunities for success in life. Upion arriving in this coamtry the family
located on a farm in Jeffeirson county, a, short distance south of Saline-
ville, removing thence about the year 1855, into the village. Here the
children of the fa,mily were reared. Mr. Cameron attended the public
sichools there and graduated from the Iron City Busineiss Ciollege of
Pittsburg. At an early age he aiocepted a piosition a/s a boiokkeepcr for
a local mercantile firm, with whom he remained until 1874. His busi-
ness ability so'on advanced him to a p'ajrtnership in the business, which
was successfully conducted until in 1880, when Mr. Cameron became the
sole owner, after which the business continued tO' grow and prosper
until 1893, when he was elected Treasurer of Coilumbiana county by
a majority the largest ever given tO' any candidate for any office in the
county up to that time. He was re-elected in 1895. The business system
he introduced and enforced during the four years of his incumbency in
that office established a standard and created a model worthy the emula-
tion of all public officials.

The Treasurer of State.
When in 1898 ihe First N'atioinal Biaink of Lisbon was declaired to
be inisoilvenit, M;r. Ciameron having but a short time previoiisly retired
from the office of County Tteaisurer, was the unanimioois choioe alike of
the oreditors and stocMiolders for ajppoinitment as Beoeiver, such was
their confidence in his ability ^to disentangle the labyrinth of complications
resulting from the reckless conduct of its affairs upon the part of its
mamagement.
In this work he was engaged foir more than a year, dairing which time
he brought lorder out of chaos. He sncoeeded in fixing the responsibility
for the failure of the bank, anid although the books were miserably kept
aind outrageously falsified he obtained judgments in every suit brought
by him having for its object the recovery of funds belonging to the
unfortunate institution, thus proving the wisdom of those interested in
their selection of him for Receiver.
Mr. Oameron is a thirty-second degree Masoni, a Knight Templar.
a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a. Knight of P3rthias
and an Elk. He was married in 1875 to Miss Laura A., daughter of
John B. and Mairy A. Irwin, of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Cam-
eron have one child, a son, Boy MacDonald Camerron, who was bom in
the year 1883.
Mr. Cameron was nominated for the office of Ti^eaisurer of State
at the Republican State Coinvention held in the city of Columbus, June
2, 1899, on the first ballot, and he was elected in November, 1899, by
a large majority. He wais inducted into office oni the first Monday in
January, 1900, since which time he hais completely remodeled the interior
of the offi'ce and inaugurated a muteh-needed system for expediently and
safely conducting the large volume of business of the Department, which
aggregates in receipts and disbursements many millions of dollars an-
nually. In order that the funds of the State might be safely ciared for
and the securities required by law toi be deposited with the Treasurer of
State might be properly claissified and securely stored, Mr. Cameron
planned and has had constructed in the Treasurer's office a large steel
vault, maide by skilled workmen, of the best material known tO' the art,
and weighing some twenty toins. In this vault he hais built for thie
storage of bonds and other securities, steel filing caises, all the compairt-
m^ents of which are so numbered and lettered that, in connection with
a card index system installed by him, any security or paper of value
entrusted to his keeping may be easiily located and readily produced. All
which demonstrates Mr. Cameron to be a thorough, systematic, business
man, eminently well qualified to discharge in an aoceptable manner the
responsible duties of the position he so ably fills.
At the Republican State Convention held in Columbus in June, 1901,
Mr. Cameron was nominated by aicclamation for Treasurer of State for

a seooTL'd term, and was re-eleoted art the fiall eiection® of that year by a
largely incTeaised miajoTity, runim'mg 3,775 ahead of the aiverage vote and
15,612 ahead of the 'candidate receirnng the lowest vote.
Ini poiliti]0s he has always beeaii a Ejepublioan, and has ever assumed
an aictive shara in the party work. Sbaroely had he attained his ma-
jority when he was choisen a member of the Ciomnty Cientral Committee.
So well was his work done there that he was soon choseni chairman of the
Goointy ExecntivB Committee, and three times honcxred with a re-election.
Tk) his management is largely due the fact that that county of phenome-
nal Eepnblican pluralities is free from bickering and faetional strife. Since
he has been chairman, Columbiana county has given the Republican ticket
the largest pluralities in its history. He served as a membier of the 18th
Goaigressional District Eepublican Ciommittee for four years, wais a mem-
ber of the Eepublican State Executive Ciomnaittee in 1893, and is a member
of that committee at the present time.

GOVERI^OR JOSEPH VAJSTCE in his inaugural address
says, among other things, of the judiciary of the state (De-
cember 13, 1836)'
^^I have again and again, whilst on business in the eastern cities,
heard our judiciary spoken of in terms that made me proud that I was
a citizen of Ohio, 'l^o collusion or fraud, sir,' says an eminent mer-
chant of one of our eastern cities, ^can stand before your judiciary.'
This is the character, gentlemen, that causes capital to seek employ-
ment here; this is the character that gives security to our rights, and
value to our property ; and to these combined causes are to be attributed
a large portion of that flowing prosperity that is felt throughout every
portion of our commonwealth."

JACOB P. BURKET, C. J.
Jacob F. Burket, the present Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was born in Perry
County, Ohio, March 23, 1837. He was elected to the additional judgeship created by the
legislative enactment of 1892. In his younger days he taught school and also followed the
carpenter's trade. He commenced the study of law in June, 1859, at the same time teach-
ing school during winter months. He was admitted to the bar July 1, 1861, and com-
menced the practice of his profession at Ottawa, Ohio, removing to Findlay, Ohio, in
April, 1862, forming a partnership with Henry Brown, Esq., which firm was dissolved
May 1, 1869, after which he practiced alone until January 1, 1888, when he formed a
partnership with his son Harlan F., which firm continued until taking his seat upon the
Supreme bench, in February, 1893. As a lawyer he was noted for the clear manner in
which he presented his principles upon which his cases were founded, his practice in
more recent years being in the line of railroad and corpoi'ation law. He devoted some
time also to business interests as president and director of the American and National
Bank of Findlay, Ohio Judge Burket has also taken great interest in fraternal societies,
being elected Grand Master of the Odd Fellows of Ohio in 1881. He is a member of the
American Bar Association and of the Ohio State Bar Association, seldom failing to
attend their meetings. Judge Burket was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1897, in
which year he was re-elected to succeed himself as a member of the court and again be-
came Chief Justice in July 1902 on the death of Chief Justice Marshal J. Williams.
(62«)
WILLIAM T. SPEAR.
William T. Spear, a present member of the Supreme Court, was born June 3, 1834,
in Warren, Ohio, from whence came several of Ohio's distinguished judges. His father,
Edward Spear, also a judge, was a native of Pennsylvania, of Scotch descent ; his mother,
whose lineage is traced back to colonial times, came from Norwich, Connecticut. His
parents came to Ohio, settling at Warren in the year of 1819.
Mr. Spear received a common school education in the excellent union schools of Ohio,
supplemented by a most valuable experience a the printer's trade. After serving an ap-
prenticeship upon the "Trumbull Whig and Transcript," published at Warren, he went to
IS^ew York City, where he was employed in the office of the New York "Herald," and
thereafter became a compositor, and later a proofreader, in the publishing house of the
Appletons.
The value of the practical lessons thus derived, laying as they did a solid foundation
for important duties which he was called upon to perform in after life, can hardly be esti-
mated. Perhaps no pursuit quickens the power of conception more than the craft of the
printer, and especially has the experience herein outlined been of service to the judge in
the preparation of judicial opinions. Says one distinguished in the craft : "Heme has
uttered a sneer at the husk and shell of learning, but the best bread is made from the
whole meal, and includes the 'shorts' and the 'middlings' as well as the fine flour. If
every lawyer, physician, and clergyman were to spend six months at the 'case' before en-
tering upon his profession, he would find, even in that short time of labor, a useful and
fitting preparation for such literary tasks as may afterwards devolve upon him."
The young printer appreciated his calling, but growing tired of the confinement of -the
printing office, and having imbibed an ambition for the law, he returned to Warren, and
at once began to learn something of the practical side of the profession of his choice, by
service as deputy clerk of the Probate and Common Pleas Courts of Trumbull County. He
served in these capacities for several years, devoting his spare hours, in the meantime, to
the study of the law under the direction of Hon. Jacob D. Cox, since Governor of Ohio,
but then of the Trumbull County Bar, now Dean of the Cincinnati Law School, and
Father of many lawyers. This preparation was followed by a course in Harvard L^w
School, where Mr. Spear was graduated in 1869. Being thus equipped by reason of his
practical theoretical training, and ready to enter the field of contest, and having returned
to Warren, where he was admitted to the bar of Ohio, he at once became a member of
the firm of Cox & RatliflE. Later he was associated in practice with Hon. John C.
Hutchins, now of the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County. In 1871 he was elected
prosecuting attorney for Trumbull County, serving two terms, and solicitor of his native
city for two terms ; and for several years he was engaged in the practice with C. A.
Harrington, Esq., the firm enjoying a lucrative business. Soon after laying down the
duties of those minor positions, Mr. Spear was elected Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas, the duties of which office he entered upon in 1898. He was re-elected at the expira-
tion of his first term, but did not complete the second term, because <)f his election to the
Supreme Court, which occurred in 1885. He has since been three times elected to succeed
himself as a member of the Supreme Court, and In 1892 and 1897 was Chief Justice.
(627)
WILLIAM Z. DAVIS.
William Z. Davis was born in tbe village of Loydsville, Belmont County, Ohio, June
10, 1839. He is of Virginia descent. His father, Dr Bashford Washington Davis, was a
native of Loudon County, Virginia, and descendant of the revolutionary stock in the Old
Dominion. The late Dr. John Davis, an eminent physician and surgeon of Dayton, was his
uncle. His mother nee Miss Harriet Hatcher of Belmont County, was also a member of a
Virginia family. He was educated in the public schools and in private academy ; has been
a life-long student and was for many years a member of the American Microscopical So-
ety, withdrawing only because pressure of business duties interfered with scientific experi-
ment ; rerved out a three months' enlistment in the 4th Ohio Regiment, during the civil
war; and afterwards served in the 96th Ohio Regiment, until physically dsabled and hon-
orably discharged during the Vicksburgh Campaign ; in the meantime was admitted to the
bar ; and after coming out of the military service, and upon regaining his health he enter-
ed upon the practice of the law ; almost from the beginning was recognized as a leader at
the bar, and enjoyed a large practice, extending into all the state and federal courts. The
suggestion of his name for the office of Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio was received
with remarkable enthusiasm by lawyers of all political parties throughout the state ; was
nomnated by the Republican party in June, 1899, as its candidate for that office, and was
elected in November of that year, up to which time he had never held an elective oflBlce.
On the 10th day of January, 1900, he was appointed by Governor Nash to fill a vacancy
on the Supreme bench caused by the resignation of Judge Joseph P. Bradburv, who had
resigned the day before ; on February 9, 1900, he entered upon the regular term for which
he had been elected in the preceding November.
(628)
JOHN A. SHAUCK.
John A. Shauck was born on a farm near Johnsville, Richland County, Ohio, March
26, 1841; descendant from German stock; ancestors on lis father's side emigrating from the
fatherland and settling in America before the American Revolution. He obtained his early
education in a private school and the public schools of Johnsville. In 1866 he graduated
in the classical course from Otterbein University, Westerville, Ohio. He attended the law
school of the University of Michigan, graduating from the same in 1867. He entered upon
the general practice of the law at Dayton, Ohio, continuing the same until 1884, when he
was elected upon the Republican ticket to the Second Circuit Court. He was re-elected
Judge of the Circuit Court in 1889. At the Republcan Convention held in Columbus, June
1894, Judge Shauck was nominated for the office of Supreme Judge. He was elected in the
following fall and took his seat February 9, 1895, to serve for a full term of six years.
Judge Shauck was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio in 1900, during which ye?ir
he was re-elected for the fuH term of six years ending February 9, 1907-
(629)
JAMES L. PRICE.
James L. Price is a native of Carroll County where he was born near the village of
New Hagerstown. He is the son of Benjamin and Nancy Price, who lived to a ripe old
age.
His early years were spent on the farm. After the advantages of the common schools
he acquired a thorough academic education, and while preparing for the study ol the
law, taught one term of common school in Harrison county, near Adena, and a second
term at New Hagerstown, afttr which his law studies were pursued in the office of
Eckley & Shober at Carrollton, O. Mr. Price was admitted to the bar at Cadiz and opened
an office in Carrollton, where he practiced his profession until the spring of 1865. He was
elected and served one term as prosecuting attorney and at its close moved to "Van Wert,
a thriving county seat in the then new northwestern section of Ohio, where he formed a
partnership with Judge J. D. Clark, which relation continued for about two years.
In 1868 he was elected prosecuting attorney of Van Wert county, and served three terms
in succession. In the rising northwest, which was then in its transient stage, he acquired
a large practice, extending into the surrounding counties. Seeing the rapid growth of
Lima, Its fine railroad facilities, and its promise of a great business future, Mr. Price
removed to that city in the year 1883, where he has since resided.
In 1894 the Republicans of the Third Judicial circuit ventured to nominate a candidate
for judge of the circuit court, and while it was then and always since strongly Democrat-
ic, they succeeded in electing Judge Price by over 3900 plurality.
The six years' service on the circuit bench was a large contributing factor in his
nomination for judge of the supreme court. He was elected on the Republican State
Ticket in November 1901 and took his seat In the court February 9, 1902, succeeding
Thad. A. Minshall, Esq., whose term expired on that day.

JUDGES OF THE TEKKITOKIAL COUKTS OF THE
NORTHWEST TERRITORY. (1787-1802.)
THE first judicial system to be inaugurated in that part of the
United States which is now known as ithe State of Ohio was that
put in operation by the ^^Ordinance of 1787" by which the
^'territory northwest of the River Ohio" was set apart as a separate gov-
ernmental unit, and a form of local government provided for it by the
Congress. By a reference to Section 4 of the ordinance, which is
printed in Part One of this volume, it will be seen that it was provided
that there should be '^appointed a court, to consist of three judges, any
two of whom to form a court, who shall have a common law jurisdiction,
and reside in the district, and have therein a freehold estate, in five
hundred acres of land, while in the exercise of their offices ; and their
commission shall continue in force during good behavior." These
judges, with the governor, were to select from the civil and criminal
laws of the original states such laws as they deemed suitable for the
territory, and were given the power to promulgate such laws, and to
enforce them, until they should be amended or repealed by a general as-
sembly to be later organized according to the provisions of the ordi-
nance under which they were appointed.
In accordance with this provision of the Ordinance, Congress did,
on the 16th day of October, 1787, elect as judges for the 'Northwest
Territory: Samuel Holden Parsons, John Armstrong, and James Mit-
chell Yarnum.
In the place of Mr. Armstrong, who declined the appointment,
Congress appointed on the 19th day of February, 1788, Mr. John
Cleves Symmes.
The first Territorial Judges (in 1787-8) were therefore, Samuel
Holden Parsons, James Mitchell Yarnum, John Cleves Symmes.
The salaries of the judges were fixed by Congress in an act bearing
the date of October 8, 1787, at $800 per annum.
President George Washington, in a message to the Senate of the
United States, bearing the date of New York, August 18, 1789, nom-
inates to be judges of the Northwest Territory ^'in accordance with
the law re-establishing the government of the Northwest Territory,"
Samuel Holden Parsons, John Cleves Symmes, and William Barton.
Mr. Barton, who was appointed vice Judge Yarnum, who had
died the preceding February, himself declined the appointment, and on
the 8th of September the Senate completed the reorganization of the
court by confirming the nomination of George Turner, an associate

justice. The court thus constituted in 1Y89, and acting under the
Constitution of the United States, consisted of the Honorable Judges
Samuel Holden Parsons, John Cleves Synunes, Greorge Turner.
Judge Parsons, then Chief Justice, was drowned in E'ovember,
1Y89, while returning from a treaty with the Indians of the West-
em Reserve, and the President nominated as his successor on the
bench, Rufus Putnam, of Marietta, whose nomination was promptly
confirmed.
The court as thus organized with Judges John Cleves Symmes,
Greorge Turner, Rufus Putnam, served from 1790 to 1796, when Judge
Putnam was appointed to the office of Surveyor General by President
Washington, who, in the same message to the Senate, nominated Jo-
seph. Gilman to the Judgeship thus made vacant. The nominations
were confirmed.
In 1798 Judge Turner resigned and was succeeded by Return
Jonathan Meigs, Jr., whose lappointment was confirmed February 12,
1798. The court as thus constituted, consisting of Judges John Cleves
Symm.es, Joseph Gilman land Return J. Meigs, Jr., continued to serve
until the admission of the state into the Union in 1803, and there-
fore, until the organization of the Supreme Court of Ohio. This Court
(of th© E"orthw^st Territory) held its session alternately at Detroit,
Vineennes, Cincinnati ^and Marietta.
Note. 1. — ^It is worthy of notice in this connection that the Territorial Gov-
ernment was set up by Congress in October, 1787, but that the first settlement in
Ohio occurred on the site of the city of Marietta in the following April (1788).
In the absence of the Governor, and Judges, who were to form the law-giving
power, and until their arrival, Col. Return J. Meigs, Sr., drafted a code of regu-
lations on common foolscap, which he tacked to the blazed trunk of a large oak,
where it was read and endorsed by all the settlers. History does not record a single
infraction of those rules. The G^>vernor, with a majority of the court, arrived at
Marietta two months later, and set up the official government of the Territory.
Note 2. — Upon the admission of the state into the Union in 1803, and the
dissolution of the Territorial Court, Congress by an act passed in February, 1803,
provided that a District Court for the District of Ohio, to consist of one judge,
should be established at Chillicothe.
Note 3. — By an act of May, 1800, the original Northwest Territory had been di-
vided into eastern and western divisions, and an additiona.1 court created for the
Indiana or western division, at Saint Vincennes, the court for the eastern division
remaining at Chillicothe.
JUDGES OF THE SUPEEME COURT OF THE STATE OF
OHIO TO^DER THE FIRST OOE'STITUTIO:^' (1802-1851.)
UlN'DER the Constitution of 1802 tlie number of Supreme Court
Judges was the same as under the Territorial form of govern-
ment, three, with the power vested in the general assembly to
authorize the selection of an additional judge at its discretion.
The tenure of office was fixed at seven years, or such part there-
of as the judge was well behaved. The salaries of the judges were
fixed at not to exceed one thousand dollars per annum.
Under these provisions of the constitution and the laws, the Gen-
eral Assembly elected on April 2, 1803, as the First Supreme Court of
the State of Ohio, Samuel Huntington (then the Senator from Trum-
bull County), Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr. (then a member of the
Territorial Court), and William Spriggs (of Jefferson County).
With this establishment of a Supreme Court in Ohio, a search of
official records discloses the following to have been the personnel of
that court which has reflected a lasting honor on the judiciary whose
representatives they were, and on the state to whom they paid affection-
ate fealty.
1803 — Samuel Huntingi:on, Rdturn Jonathan Meigs, Jr., William
Spriggs.
1804 — Samuel Huntington, Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr., William
Spriggs.
Judge Meigs resigned December, 1804, to accept commission in
the U. S. Army as Colonel and Commander of the Department of the
Missouri.
1805 — Samuel Huntington, Daniel Symmes (vice Meigs), William
Spriggs.
1806 — Samuel Huntington, Daniel Symmes, William Spriggs (to
April).
Judge Sprigg resigned in April and was succeeded by Senator
George Tod, of Trumbull County, who was appointed to the vacancy
by Governor Tiffin — and was afterward elected to the seat by the
General Assembly, January 1, 180Y.
In 1807 the Supreme Court consisted of Judges Samuel Hunting-
ton, Daniel Symmes and George Tod.
In 1808 Judge Symmes resigned (January 9) and was succeeded
by William Spriggs (February 13). Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr.,
Jiaving been declared ineligible to the office of Governor of Ohio, to
which he had been elected the previous October, was elected an ad-

ditional Judge of the Supreme Court on the 13th of February by the
joint session of the General Assembly which also elected his colleague,
Mr. Sprigg, to succeed Judge Symmes, who had resigned to accept
the presidential appointment of Registrar of Land at Cincinnati.
Owing to these changes the court, after February 13, was composed of
Judges Samuel Huntington, William Sprigg, George Tod, E. J. Meigs,
Jr.
The membership of the court remained as above until in Decem-
ber, Avhen Judge Huntington resigned to become Governor of Ohio.
He was inaugurated December 12. The House of Representatives had
preferred charges early in the same month (December) against Judges
Huntington and Tod, of the Supreme Court, and Judge Calvin Pease,
presiding judge of the Common Pleas Court of the 3d District, for
having, by certain decisions, set aside the act extending the jurisdic-
tion of justices of the peace. Governor Huntington was not tried on
these charges, but his associates were brought before the Senate, sit-
ting as a High Court of Impeachment, and were acquitted.
In 1800, Judge Huntington having become Governor, and Judge
Meigs having resigned to become United States Senator from Ohio,
the Governor, in the message announcing these vacancies on the bench
(January 31) recommends the abolishmenit of the fourth judgeship for
the reason that it creates two courts of two judges each, which sitting
at different parts of the state in riding the circuit, tend to disagree-
ment in decisions, and consequent confusion. Despite this recommen-
dation of the Governor, the Legislature elected (February lY) Thomas
Scott (Chief Clerk of the Senate) to succeed Judge Huntington, and
Thomas Morris (a member of the House of Representatives) to suc-
ceed Judge Meigs as an additional Judge. This created a court of
four members, including Judges William Sprigg, George Tod, Thomas
Scott and Thomas Morris.
Judge Morris failing to qualify as judge, the General Assembly
abolished the additional judgeship the following session (1810).
In 1810, the first period of seven years having expired under the
state constitution of 1802, the General Assembly, on February 10,
met in joint session of the two houses and elected a new Supreme
Court which served without interruption until 1815. This court con-
sisted of Thomas Scott (to succeed himself) ; William W. Irwin, of
Fairfield County ; and Ethan Allen Brown, of Hamilton County.
In 1816 the General Assembly was called upon to elect succes-
sors to Judges Scott and IrAvin who had resigned, and accordingly met
in joint session on the lYth day of February, and elected to the Su-
preme Court, Messrs. Jessup 'N. Couch, of Ross County; John Mc-
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. Q^fJ
The Judges of the Supreme Court under the Firsi Constitution.
Lean of Warren County; and an additional judge in Calvin Pease,
of Trnmbnll County.
The Supreme Court was thus increased to four members: Ethan
Allen Brown, Jessup N. Couch, John McLean, and Calvin Pease.
In 1817 the re-election of Judge Brown to succeed himself con-
tinued the membership of the court as constituted the previous year, and
this membership was unbroken until the resignation of Judge Brown
in December 1818, to become Governor of Ohio. On the 30th day
of January, 1819, the General Assembly elected Peter Hitchcock, of
Geauga County, to the vacancy ithus created.
From 1819 to 1821 the judges of the Supreme Court were: Jessup
IT. Couch, John McLean, Calvin Pease and Peter Hitchcock.
In 1821, the death of Jadge Couch led to the election of Jacob
Burnett, of Hamilton County, one of the conspicuous figures in the
Territorial Council and in the early history of Ohio, as his successor.
The court thus constituted, being again changed in 1822 by the resig-
nation of Judge McLean, Charles E. Sherman, of Fairfield County,
was elected to succeed him on the 11th day of January, 1823, at which
election the General Assembly also re-elected Judges Pease and Bur-
nett.
From 1822 to 1829 the Judges of the Supreme Court were: Cal-
vin Pease, Peter Hitchcock, Jacob Burnett and Charles E. Sherman.
In 1828 Judge Burnett resigned (December 11) and as his suc-
cessor the General Assembly elected (February 6, 1829) Joshua Col-
lett, of Warren County. The judges for 1829 being Calvin Pease,
Peter Hitchcock, Charles E. Sherman, and Joshua Collett.
In 1830 the General Assembly elected the following judges of the
Supreme Court : January 30, Elijah Hayward, vice Judge Pease, term
expired; February 1, John Milton Goodenow, vice Judge Sherman,
deceased ; the court thus consisting of Judges Peter Hitchcock, Joshua
Collett, Elijah Hayward and John Milton Goodenow.
During the summer of 1830 the court was divided into two sec-
tions, sitting in separate localities in the state (under an act of the
previous winter), but the illness of Judges Goodenow and Hayward,
who finally resigned before the close of the year, deprived the Miami
Eiver counties -and those of central Ohio of the usual court. An at-
tempt to hold a special session in Columbus, in Ootober, resulted in the
coming together of but two of the judges, who, deciding that they were
not a quorum of the court and could neither sit as a court or legally
adjourn, agreed to "separate,'' which they did, and nothing was done
with the fifty cases on the docket. (See Governor's Message.) Henry
Brush was api>ointed by the Governor during the year 1830 to sue-

oeed Judge Goodeaow, resigned; no appointment being made to fill
the vacancy occasioned bj tbe resignation (ITovember 6) of Judge
Hajward.
In December, 1830, the Supreme Court Judges were: Peter
Hitchcock, Joshua Collett, Henry Brush, and one vacancy caused by
the resignation of Judge Hay^^ard.
On the 18th of December the General Assembly elected a suc-
cessor to Judge Hayward in the person of Ebenezer Lane, of Huron
County, land on the 29th of the month elected John C. Wright, of Jef-
ferson County, to succeed Judge Brush, who was not a candidate be-
fore the General Assembly. Judge Lane took his seiat at once ; Judge
Wright, on the adjournment of the legislature.
In 1831 and 1832 the membership of the Supreme Court re-
mained : Peter Hitchcock, Joshua Collett, Ebenezer Lane, and John C.
Wright.
Judge Hitchcock's term expiring on the 5th of February, 1833,
there was a spirited contest in the General Assembly over the election
of his successor. The election being ordered for the 16th of Decem-
ber (1832), on that day the assembly met in joint session, but after
casting seven ballots, on all of which Keuben Wood, of Cuyahoga Coun-
ty, led, with Judge Hitchcock second and Benjamin Tappan third, the
session dissolved without an election and the Senate returned to its
chamber. The assembly was called together by another resolution on
the next day (17th), and after twelve more ballots, Reuben Wood was
declared to have been elected by a majority of one vote.
Several days later the correctness of the court was challenged by
a joint resolution and an investigation of the count was ordered, but the
title of Judge Wood to his seat was not disturbed by this agitation.
The court for 1833-1835, was composed of Judges Joshua Collett,
Ebenezer Lane, John C. Wright and Reuben Wood.
On February 2, 1835, the Governor reported the resignation of
Judge Wright, and on the 28th day of that month, the General As-
sembly elected, on the fourth ballot, Ex-Judge Hitchcock, at that time
Senator from Geauga County .and Speaker of the Senate, to succeed
him. In this contest. Senator Anthony, of Clarke County, was Judge
Hitchcock's principal competitor for the Judgeship and was (March
6) elected to succeed him as Speaker of the Senate. Judge Hitch-
cock resigned as Speaker on that day.
From March, 1835, to February 10, 1836, the court consisted of
Judges Lane, Wright, Wood and Hitchcock.
Frederick Grimke, of Ross County, was elected on January 30,
1836, to succeed Judge Collett, whose term expired on the 10th of
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. ggg
The Judges 'of the Supreme Court under the Fir&t Constiiution.
Februarj. By the re-election of Judge Lane for the period of seven
years from the 18th day of December, 183Y, and of Judge Wood, in
1839, the court as constituted in 1836 continued without interruption
until 1842, viz. : Ebenezer Lane, E/euben Wood, Peter Hitchcock, and
Frederick Grimke.
Matthew Birchard, of Trumbull County, was elected by the Gen-
eral Assembly on January 15, 1842, to succeed Judge Hitchcock, whose
term expired in February of that year, and Nathaniel C. Reed, of
Hamilton County, was elected on the 5ith of March, to succeed Judge
Grimke, resigned. The court thus constituted, from M/arch, 1842, to
December, 1844, was composed of Judges Ebenezer Lane, Reuben
Wood, Matthew Birchard, and E'athaniel C. Reed.
In December, 1844, the term of Judge Lane expired. He was
promptly re-elected by the General Assembly on the 5th of the month,
but remained on the bench only during the session of the court in
Bank, when he resigned. His successor was elected on the 27th of the
same month (December), ifi the person of Ex- Judge Peter Hitch-
cock. The action of the General Assembly in re-electing Judge Lane
to succeed himself in 1836 and 1844 was, with the exception of the
re-election of Judge Wood, in 1839, contrary to the usual refusal of
the assembly to grant consecutive terms to the members of the Supreme
Court.
The members of the Supreme Court in the years 1845 and 1846
were Judges Reuben Wood, Matthew Birchard, ITathaniel C. Reed, and
Peter Hitchcock.
On the 15th day of January, 1847, the General Assembly elected
Edward Avery, of Wayne County, to succeed Judge Wood (term ex-
piring), although the Judge was a candidate for re-election. From
February, 1847, to February, 1849, the membership of the court was:
Judges Matthew Birchard, ISTathaniel C. Reed, Peter Hitchcock, and
Edward Avery.
On the 22d day of February, 1849, the General Assembly elected
as members of the Supreme Court: Rufus P. Spalding, of Summit
County, for seven years from March 5, to succeed Judge Reed, re-
signed; and William B. Caldwell, of Hamilton County, for seven
years from March 7, to succeed Judge Birchard, term expired.
The court for 1849-1850, consisted of Judges Hitchcock, Avery,
Spalding, and Caldwell.
The last change in the court prior to the enforcement of the pres-
ent constitution of Ohio was occasioned by the resignation of Judge
Avery, and the election of his successor in the person of Rufus P. Ran-
ney, of Trumbull County, on the 17th of March, 1851. The court

White.
In 1875 of Judges Mcllvaine, Eex, Welch, White, and Gillmore.

year William W. Johnston, of Lawrence County, was elected to suc-
ceed Judge Gillmore. Judge Mcllvaine was re-elected in October,
1880, and in Isrovember, 1881, Judge Boynton resigned, the Governor
appointing as his successor for the unexpired term until the next Feb-
ruary, I^icholas Longworth, of Hamilton County, who had been elect-
ed for the full term of ^ve years, a month before the resignation of
Judge Boynton.

ceed Judge Longworth, and took his seat in the court on the 10th day
of March. Martin D. Follett, of Washington County, was, however,

The death of Judge Okey on the 25th day of July, 1885, created
a vacancy in the court which was filled by the appointment of Gibson
Atherton, of Licking County, who took his seat on the 20th day of Aug-
ust. The October elections resulted in the election of William T.
Spear, of Trumbull County, to fill the unexpired term of Judge Okey,
and he qualified and took his seat on the 16th day of December, Judge
Atherton retiring. At the same election Thaddeus A. Minshall, of
Ross County, was elected for the full term of five years to succeed
Judge Mcllvaine, and these two members of the court have, by re-
peated re-elections by the people, been continued on the bench of the
Supreme Court to the present time. Judge Johnson resigned 'No-
vember 9, 1886, and Franklin J. Dickman, of Cuyahoga County, was

of \tihe court were elected in the persons of Judge Spear for tlie long
term of six years and Jacob F. Burket, of Hancock County, for ^^e.
years. Judge Bradbury was reelected in 1893 ; John A. Shauck, of
Montgomery County, was elected in October, 1894, to succeed Judge
Dickman. From 1894 to 1899 the sitting judges were re-elected to
succeed themselves without exception, and consequently no changes oc-
curred in the personnel of the court. In November, 1899, William Z.
Davis, of Marion County, was elected to succeed Judge Bradbury, wh.o
resigned January 10, 1900, a month before the expiration of his term.
Judge-elect Davis was appointed to succeed him, and thus went on
the bench a month earlier than the time for which he had been elected.
In November, 1900, Judge Shauck was re-elected and entered on his
present term February 9, 1901. In N'ovember, 1901, James L. Price,
of Allen county. Chief Justice of the Circuit Courts of Ohio, was
elected to the Supreme Court to succeed Judge Minshall, and took his
seat February 9, 1902. Chief Justice Williams died in July, 1902, and
on the 19th of the month 'Governor E'ash appointed Judge William B.
Crew of Morgan county, to the vacancy, who immediately took his
seat and was in E'ovember, 1902, elected to succeed himself. The per-
sonnel of the Supreme Court of Ohio for the period between February
9, 1886, and February 9, 1901, was therefore:

THE SUPEEME COUET COMMISSIO:tTS.
THE power of the General Assembly to assist in disposing of ihe
work before the Supreme Court of Ohio bj the formation of
"Supreme Court Commissions" (Section 21, Article IV), has
been invoked twice since the adoption of the present Constitution of
Ohio. The appointment of the members of this commission has been
vested in the Governor in both instances.
THE COMMISSION OF 1876.
On the 2d day of February, 18Y6, the Governor appointed as such
Supreme Court Commission, to serve for three years, Josiah Scott, of
Crawford County; William W. Johnson, of Lawrence County; D.
Thew Wright, of Hamilton County; Eichard A. Harrison, of Frank-
lin County; Henry C. Whitman, of Hamilton County; and Luther
Day, of Portage County. Mr. Harrison refused to accept the appoint-
ment and Thomas Q. Ashburn, of Clermont County, was appointed
in his stead, and took his seat on the bench on the 16th of March, 18Y8.
This commission sat until the 2d day of February, 1879, as an
auxiliary to the Supreme Court, and assisted in bringing up the docket
which had fallen far behind the reasonable time for trial.
: THE COMMISSION OF 1883.
In 1883, the Governor again appointed a commission of five mem-
bers under an enabling act of the General Assembly, and this commiis-
sion began its work on the 17th day of April, 1883, and continued
on the bench for the period of two years. The commission of 1883
consisted of Moses M. Granger, of Muskingum County, C. J., Geo. K.
Nash, of Franklin County; Franklin J. Hickman of Cuyahoga Coun-
ty; Charles D. Martin, of Fairfield County; and John McCauley, of
Seneca County. This commission adjourned April 16, 1885.

THE SUPKEME COUKT LAW LIBRAEY.
MARSHAL OF THE SUPREME COURT AND LAW LIBRARIAN.
F^ANK IS^ELLIS BEEBE^ was ■born in Columbus, Ohio, January
12, 1850. The Beebe family is of Scotch descent; the great-
grandparents of Frank having moved to this country in colonial
times. Thomas Beebe, Frank's great-grandfather, was born Septem-
ber 7, 1743, and on June 19, 1767, was married to Olive Hall. Thom-
as Beebe died February 24, 1792. During the Revolutionary war
Thoanas Beebe was an ensign in Captain Hall's 6th company of Col-
onel Nitbeck's regiment (Kinderhook District) of Albany (]^. Y.)
county militia. Thomas Beebe was the father of twelve children. The
seventh, Joseph, was born February 23, 1778, and was married to Lydia
Leroy, April 21, 1798. Joseph Beebe died September 2, 1864. He was
the father of eleven children. The eighth, James Henry, was born Jan-
uary 29, 1818. James Henry was married to Elizabeth Knapp, ]^o-
vember 30, 1848. James Henry died July 12, 1880, leaving four
children, the eldest of which, Frank ISTellis, is the subject of this sketch.

The parents of Frank JSTellis Beebe resided near Kocliester, N. Y.,
whence thej moved to the "west" (Columbus, Ohio), in 1849. Frank
received a fair education in the public schools of his naiive city, and
at the early age of sixteen was ushered into his life work as Assistant
Law Librarian in the Ohio State Law Library. This service began
February 11, 1866, his father being then the Librarian. He contin-
ued as Assistant Librarian until the death of his father, July 12, 1880,
when he became Librarian, which position he still holds, being now
in the thirty-sixth year of his service in connection with the Library,
which is ample evidence of his unusual fitness for the office and the
faithfulness with which he has discharged its duties. Mr. Beebe read
law and was admitted to the bar January 28, 1875. He compiled and
published a volume of "Corrections of errors found in the citations of
authorities in the Ohio Reports, including the twenty volumes Ohio
Reports and forty volumes of Ohio State Reports." Later, in 1886, he
compiled and edited a large volume of "Ohio Citations" with a table
of cases contained in all the Ohio Reports, alphabetically arranged;
also table of cases cited, followed, explained, distinguished and re-
versed by the Supreme Court of Ohio. This extensive work was pub-
lished by Robert Clark & Co., of Cincinnati, and evidences the pains-
taking and patient labor and accurate knowledge of the editor. Prob-
ably Mr. Beebe has not his superior in acquaintance with the bibliog-
raphy of the law, and his long experience in his position has given him
great and valuable familiarity with the titles and subjects of almost
countless legal publications.
In his younger days he was a most accomplished musician and
for several years served as organist in the leading churches of Colum-
bus. Mr. Beebe, from early boyhood, displayed great mechanical
ability and is the inventor of several devices, some of which have been
patented. A sketch of Mr. Beebe would be incomplete without mention
of his fame as a most devoted disciple of Izaak Walton, and few equal
him as an adept in the fisherm^an's art, being one of the most success-
ful fly-fishermen of the famous Castalia Trout Club, of wlhich he has
been a director. A great lover of nature, he is an enthusiastic canoe-
ist and fond of outdoor life and sports. Frank was married February
14, 1871, to Eliza C. Dungan of London, 0., and they have two sons,
Stephen Watson, and John Dungan. •

THE SUPREME COURT LAW LIBRARY.
The law books forming a part of the State Library were taken to
the rooms assigned for the use of the Suprenie Court and Law Library
in the present CapitoL building as soon as said rooms were ready for
occupancy. There is no data obtainable showing just when this change
was made, but it was about 1858. At this time the number of volumes
could not have exceeded a couple of thousand. In 1866, a count showed
about 2,500 volumes. The Library was first in charge of the mes-
senger of the Supreme Court, who was assigned the duty of librarian.
At this time there were two ofiicers of the Court — a crier and
messenger. Owing to the illness of the messenger during the greater
portion of the year of his service, the crier of the court acted as libra-
rian, and furnished an assistant who was compensated under an ar-
rangement with the messenger. In 1867, an act was passed providing
for the appointment of a law librarian, taking effect February 9, 1867,
and the positions of crier and messenger of the Supreme Court were
abolished, the law libr'arian being made ex-officio crier of the court, said
crier to furnish an assistant.

The Supreme Court Law Library.
For a niunber of years tihe lisiting of the volumes being added to
the Law Library were taken as part of the State Library, and the State
Library figures given of the number of the volumes enrolled included
all those which had been set apart as the Law Library of the Supreme
Court and additions thereto. This was discontinued early in the sev-
enties, and the first record kept, showing additions to the Law Library
were made in 18 Y3. From this time on more attention was given the
subject of books, and in 1875 the library had grown to nearly four
thousand volumes. In 1880, when the first catalogue was made, the
library contained about seven thousand five hundred volumes, and a.t
the time of this writing (Miarch 1, 1901) the library counts out a little
over twenty thousand volumes.
The first Messenger and Librarian was Eiichard Kiordan, who
served about two years. He was succeeded by Herman E-uess, in 1860,
who served until February 11, 1866. James H. Beebe was Acting
Crier of the Supreme Court, appointed by the Supreme Court April 6,
1865, and reappointed February 11, 1866, at which time he took charge
substantially of the Law Library. On February 16, 1867, a law was
passed creating the ofiice of Law Librarian, who, ex-officio, should be the
crier of the court. James H. Beebe served in this capacity until his
death, July 12, 1880. Frank ^N. Beebe, who had been serving as an
assistant to his father, was appointed Law Librarian, and succeeded his
father in charge of the department, July 13, 1880, and has served con-
tinuously up to the present time.

Eeporter of the Supreme Court.
HISTORY OF THE OFFICE OF SUPREME COURT REPORTER.
February 23, 1816, tlie State Legislature for tlie first time (14 0.
L., 310) made recognitioii of the neeessitj on the part of the Suprem.e
Court for putting in permanent form and properly preserving ita
opinions accompanying its decisions. January 20, 1823, the leg-
islature amended (21 0 .L., 9) the previous act and provided "'That the
said judges shall appoint a Eeporter who shall report all decisions
made at said sessions in Columbus and such other important decisions
as he may be directed by said judges to report, and cause the same to be
published as soon as may be conveniently done after such sessions."
After the adoption of the new constitution (1851) the Greneral
Assembly enacted, section 8, chapter 32 (S. & C, 379) that the
Supreme Court should appoint a Eeporter whose term of office should
continue for three years, and giving special directions as to the reports
of the briefs of counsel upon the points made and the authorities cited.
From time to time thereafter acts were passed by the General Assembly
regulating the methods of publications, sale and distribution of the
reports. Ulider existing legislaition the Eeporter is appointed by the
judges of the court for a term not to exceed three years, at a stipulated
sialary. The reports are published as a private enterprise by <ihe pub-
lisher upon a contract made in behalf of the state by the reporter, form
and style of the volume and retail maximum price to the public being
determined by statute. JSTeither the state nor the Eeporter has any pe-
cuniary interest in the reports.
Since the creation of the office fourteen different appointees, in-
cluding the present incumbent, have discharged the duties of Eeporter
for the Court.
Up to the time of the adoption of the Constitution of 1851, the
official Eeporters of the Supreme Court were appointed by a joint reso-
lution of the Greneral Assembly notwithstanding section 6 of the law
enacted by the legislature January 20, 1823, which reads: "That the
said judges (Supreme) shall appoint a Eeporter, who shall report all
decisions made at said sessions in Columbus and such other important
decisions as may be directed by said judges to report, and cause the
same to be published" as soon as may conveniently be done after such
session." (21 O. L., 9.) Under the present Constitution, the re-
porters have been appointed by the Supreme Court, and serve during
the stiatutory term of three years.
The names of the reporters, together with their terms of service,
and the "State or Ohio State Eeports" issued by them is given in the

ber 25, 1863. His education was secured in the common schools,
the Barnesville High School and at Valparaiso, Ind., ISTormal
School. Hfe taught for several years in his native county before decid-
ing upon the law as his life pursuit. He read law with Captain Lorenzo
Danford and graduated at the Cincinnati Law School in the class of

ty in 1890 and served with Henry M. Davies for six years. In 1895
Mr. Emerson was elected clerk of the courts of Belmont county, and
his administration was so satisfactory that he was re-elected in 1898.
The entire twelve years which he gave to the office, first as deputy and
later as clerk, was marked by signal ability in (the discharge of its du-
ties. All of the attorneys of the Belmont bar pronounced him one of
the most efficient and capable clerks they ever came in contact with.
He is married, with an excellent wife and two sons living. His
mother is still living at Bethesda, near where he was born, but his
father, William Emerson, one of the successful farmers of the county;
died about three years, leaving a competency for the widow and fam-

experience in court affairs and of well known capacity. He is specially
fitted for the position which he is now holding and his one yearns ad-
ministration of the office of Clerk of the Supreme Court has given
universal satisfaction throughout the state.

THE COURTS OF COMMOIN' PLEAS SIl^CE 1851.
THE Constitution of 1851 contained the following provisions hj
which, the state was permanently subdivided into Common Pleas
Districts, and these again divided into three subdistricts each,
and the election of the Judges of these courts vested in the people of
the subdivision instead of in the General Assembly as heretofore.
Article 4, Section 3. The State shall be divided into nine Common Pleas Districts
of which the county of Hamilton siiall constitute one, of compact territory and bounded
by county lines, and each of said districts, consisting of three or more counties, shall be
subdivided into three parts of compact territory, and bounded by <:ounty lines, and as
nearly equal in population as practicable ; in each of which one Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas for said district, and residing therein, shall be elected by the electors of
said subdivision. Courts of Common Pleas shall be held by one or more of these judges
in every county Jn the district, as often as may be provided by law; and more than one
court, or sitting thereof, may be held at the same time in each district.
Article 4, Section 4. The jurisdiction of the Courts of Common Pleas, and of the
Judges thereof, shall be fixed by law. (See Const. 1802, Art. Ill, §§ 3, 4, 5, 6.)
The first election for Judges under the new Constitution was held
on the second Tuesday of October, 1851. The term of the old Judges
and Clerks was extended by Section 4 of the Schedule, to the 2d Mon-
day of February, 1852, at which the new Judges began their terms of
office.

THE PRESIDEIsTTS OF THE UKITED STATES FEOM OHIO.
DURING the first half century of her existence, the new state
furnished but one President of the United States, but he a
man typical of ithe ^'Ohio spirit" and a popular leader of civ-
ilizing influences throughout the new ^N'orthwest. In the latter half of
the century or, since the close of the civil war, every successful candi-
date for the Presidency upon the Republican ticket ; in fact, every man
save one, who has been elected to the Presidency from 1864 to 1901;
every President since Lincoln, excepting only Grover Cleveland of 'New
York, has been a resident, or a former resident of Ohio. Two of the
number died in office: William Henry Harrison and James A. Garfield.
Every one of the illustrious group had won their spurs on the field of
battle for the Union, and had sharpened their lances in the halls of the
Congress of the United States and were men of wide statesmanship
and national reputation prior to their elevation to the highest office in
the gift of the American people.
The country has signally honored Ohio in selecting her sons to
guide the destinies of the Great Republic ; Ohio has given of her best and
truest whenever and wherever possible to give. The name of him who
now sits President of this Republic from Ohio, is not the least among
the number of men thus elevated in public duty, conspicuous figures
before the world. (See note.)

SEITATORS OF THE UJ^ITED STATES EKOM OHIO.
THE representation from Ohio in the Senate of the United States
began with the election by the General Assembly, in joint sess-
ion in the hall of the House of Representatives, Chillicothe,
on the first day of April, 1803, of two senators from Ohio in the persons
of John Smith of Hamilton County, and Thomas Worthington of Ross
County. The terra of Senator Worthington expired on the 4th of
March, 180Y, and to succeed him, the General Assembly in the January
preceding, elected Governor Edward Tiffin. By a resolution of Decem-
ber 20, 1806, the Assembly requested Senator John Smith to "either
resign his seat in the Senate of the United States, or to proceed at once
to his post." The resignation followed in 1808, and Judge Return J.
Meigs, Jr., of the Supreme Court, was elected to succeed him and wa?,
also re-elected to succeed himself, in a joint session of the two houses of
the Assembly held on the 12th day of December, 1808. Senator Smith
had served with distinction as a member of the territorial legislature,
and is highly spoken of by the venerable Judge Burnett in his Notes on
the ISTorthwest Territory. His resignation was brought about by his
supposed sympathy with the conspiracy of Aaron Burr.
Thomas Worthington was returned to the senate by the General
Assembly in 1810 to succeed Senator Meigs, who had resigned to accept
the office of Governor of the state.
With this beginning of her representation in the councils of "the
highest legislative body known in history," Ohio has since been repre-
sented in that body by men who have stood for the best and broadest
type of aggressive Americanism. The membership in the Senate of the
United States from Ohio has been as follows :

KEPKESENTATIYES IjST CONGRESS EROM OHIO.
THE repreisentation from Ohio in the Coiigi^ss, is regrilated as to
localitieis by the action of the General ABsemhly, in apportion'
ing the state into congressional districts from time to time on
the ratio of popnlation fixed by the Congress for that purpose. From
1803 to 1812 Ohio had bait one congressional district and but one repre-
sentiative in the person of Jeremiah Morrow, afterward Governor of the
State, and U. S. Senator. Erom 1813 to 1823 the state was divided
into six congressional districts; from 1823 to 1833 there were 14 dis-
tricts; from 1833 to 1843 there were 19 districts; from 1843 to 1903
the present number, 21. In the following tables which give the mem-
bership in the E'ational House of Representatives from Ohio during the
first hundred years lof statehood, it will be noticeid that in the several
re-arrangements of the districts which have occurred by legislative au-
thority the numerical numbers have been held in succession t)y widely
separated seictions of the state, and thait meimbers of Congress who are
well-known residents in one locality see^m to have represented territory
outside their supposed residence district. These appiarent discrepan-
cies are caused by the legislative re-'arrangement and re-numibering of
the several districts from time to time. With this borne in mind, the
following tables will be found a convenient record of ^^the gentlemen
from! Ohio" who have played no insignificant part in the history of
these United States, and many of whom are celebrated figures in gen-
eral history.

EMMETT TOMPKINS.
Columbus, Ohio.
Emmett Tompkins, the new member of Congress from the Tenth District, son
of Hon. Cydnor B. and Mary Ann (Fonts) Tompkins, attended the public schools
of McConnellsville imtil he reached the age of twelve years, having been taken by his
guardian, William Voorhees, who assumed charge of him after the death of his par-
ents. After leaving school he pursued a scientific and classical course in the Ohio
State University at Athens. Like his distinguished father, he selected the law as his
vocation in life, his studies having been pursued in turn under the precepiorship of
Judge John Welsh and Hon. C. H. Grosvenor. He was admitted to the bar in 1875,
and at once began practice in Athens, where, one year later, he was elected City
Solicitor, being then in his twenty-third year.
In 1878 Mr. Tompkins was elected Mayor of Athens, which office he resigned
a few months prior to the expination of his term in order to accept the position of
Prosecuting Attorney. In this connection his work was so effective and satisfactory
that he was re-elected. In 1885 Mr. Tompkins was elected to the State Legislature,
and succeeded himself in 1887. He served as Chairman of the Committee on Asy-
lums for the Insane and was a member of the Judiciary Committee and of the Com-
mittee on Railroads and Telegraphs.
In 1889 in order to broaden the scope of his professional labors, Mr. Tompkins
removed to Columbus. He entered into partnership with Frank W. Merrick, under
the firm name of Merrick & Tompkins. Mr. Tompkins is popular in business and
social circles. In politics he has always been a strong supporter of Republicanism,
and in 1900 was the nominee of his party for election to the Congress from the
Twelfth Ohio District, and w^js elected, although the district is Democratic.

ough eduoation, sending him to the Tiffin schools, which ranked among the best in
the state; in August, 1861, while only eighteen years of age, he enlisted in the army
and was mustered in as Sergeant of Co. K of the One Hundred and First 0. V. I.,
in which company he remained until 1864, when he was promoted to be First Lieu-
tenant and Adjutant of the One Hundred and Twenty-third U. S. Colored Infantry,
where he served until the close of the war in 1865; engaged in teaching school and
resumed the study of medicine in his father's office, which had been interrupted by
his enlistment ; in 1867 he began the separate practice of his profession and continued
therein until 1873, when he was elected by the Democratic party to represent Seneca
County in the General Assembly of the state, serving three terms, one of them as
Speaker pro tempore of the House; during his terms in the General Assembly he
read law with Hon. Geo. Converse, of Columbus, and was admitted to the bar in
1879; in 1885 was appointed Auditor of Seneca County, Ohio, to fill a vacancy
and at the ensuing election was elected to the office, which he filled for a third
term; in 1890 he received from Governor James E. Campbell the appointment of
Commissioner of Railroads and Telegraphs for the State of Ohio and served in that
capacity during Governor Campbell's administration and through a part of the first
of Governor William McKinley, resigning to accept a position in the Law Department
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, holding this position until he was elected to the
Fifty-fifth United States Congress in 1896; in this election he defeated the former
occupant of the position, receiving 28,878 votes as against 23,506 Republican, 458 Pop-
ulist, and 249 Prohibitionist; he served upon the Committee on Invalid Pensions
during this term; in 1898 was re-elected; in the organization of the committees in
the Fifty-sixth Congress was placed on the Committee on the District of Colum-
bia, in addition to that of Invalid Pensions; in 1900 was again elected to succeed

WILLIAM WOODBURN SKILES.
Shelby, Ohio.
William Woodburn Skiles, Congressman Fourteenth District, was born at
Stoughtstown, Cumberland County, Pa., December II, 1849. His parents came to
Ricliland County, Ohio, in 1854, since which time he has resided in Shelby and
vicinity.
His early education was obtained in the District Schools, and he afterwards
took full college course at Baldwin University, Berea, Ohio. He and his brother,
George M, Skiles, were graduated from the above institution in 1876 and began the
study of Jaw with the firm of Matson, Dirlam & Lehman, of Mansfield. They were
admitted to the bar July 24, 1878, and immediately opened office at Shelby, where
they have practiced Jaw under the firm name of Skiles & Skiles since that time.
Previous to his election to represent his district in Congress in 1900 Mr.
Skiles had never held any political office other than being President of the Shelby
School Board for the last eighteen years. He is prominently connected with financial
and manufacturing institutions in Shelby, but has devoted his time entirely to his
law practice. Though not holding any political office he has for years been active
in state politics, at one time serving as a member of the Republican State Central
Committee.
Mr. Skiles was married October 3, 1878, to Miss E. Dora Matson, of Shelby, and
a son and daughter are the issue of this marriage.

POPULATIO]^ OF OHIO BY COUHSTTIES DUKIIs^G ANT> AT
THE CLOSE OE THE FIKST OEIsTTUKY OF
STATE HISTOKY.
1802—1901.
( Compiled from the Twelfth Census of the United States. )
THE first census of that part of the United States which is now the
State of Ohio, was taken in 1800, Tinder the government of the
]^orthwest Territory. For purposes of comparison by decades,
the census of 1800 is treated as though it was under the present gov-
ernment, but it should be remembered that the "Wayne County" of
1800, is not identical with the "Wayne County" of 1900, but was the
early century name for ^Northwestern Ohio and the State of Michi-
gan. It should also be remembered that in 1800 Hamilton County cov-
ered the whole western part of the present state up to the present site
of the city of Lim.a ; that Trumbull, Jefferson, and Washington Coun-
ties covered the territory from the present sit© of Ironton on the Ohio
river up the Ohio river and almost to the lake; that the central part
of Ohio from the river to Upper Sandusky comprised the counties of
Adams, Ross, and Tuscarawas, with the northwestern quarter of the
present state joined with Michigan, under the name of Wayne County.
The State of Ohio was organized by the adoption of its first constitution
at Chillicothe, :tTovember 29, 1802.

Th& populajtion of the state in 1900 is 4,157,545 as oompared with
the population in 1890 of 3,672,316, representing an increase during
tlie last ten years of 485,229, or 13.2 percent. This rate of increase is
slightly less than that for the decade immediately preceding, when it
was 14.8 percent, although the numerical increase is somewhat greater.

820 THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OP OHIO.
Population of the Principal Cities of Ohio, 1810-1900.
All of the abofve named cities received marked accessions to their po})-
ulation during tbe last ten years, preceding the census of 1900, those hav
ing increased by the largest percentage being Toledo, 61.9 percent; Akron,
54.8 percent; Cleveland, 46.1 percent; and Columbus, 42.4 percent. Largest
numerical gains during the decade are found in Cleveland, Toledo and
Columbus. With a single exception in one decade each of these citie^j
has increased in population steadily, but the rate of growth has been
irregular and has shown no uniform trend of change. For Cincin-
nati, Cleveland and Springfield, however, that rate since 1870 has
steadily declined, a change in harmony with the usual tendency of
large urban centers.

THE OHIO OAPITOL BUILDINGS.
THE Capitol Buildings of the State of Ohio stand in tlie principal
square in tihe city of Cloilumbus, in a park containinig over ten
acres of well cultivated lawns and native forestry, on land which
was given to the state by the propTietoTs of the town site, in 181-2. The
niam-e "Columbus" was sielected for the town and bestowed upion it by the
General Assembly at a later date.
The illustrations on the frontispiece give 'gome idea of the isityle of
buildiiig bu.t fall far shoirt, in dignity and point of finish, of doing justice
to either the old Capitol Building or the new Dep<a;rtment of Justice.
The original "State Housey" erected by the grantors of the public
grounds on condition that Columbus — then unsettled — should bei choisen
for the Capital of Ohio,i — was a series oir row of brick buildings on High
street, beginning at State street and running north aloug the present
property to a point about hialfway to the present west entrance to the
"State House yard." These struictures were burned Sunday morning,
February 1, 1852. The old Capitol Building, as it is now called, was
beigun in Apirii, 1839, and was partially completed and dedicated in Janu-
ary, 1857. The corner stone was laid July 4, 1839. The building was
finished in 1861 and was a useful rendez^^ous for troop'S gathering for i^er-
vicie in the Union Army during the Civil War. The Department of Justice
Building was built under an act of the 73rd General Assembly, adjoining
the old Capitol at the terrace on the eiast. It thus oiocupies the Third street
front of the Capitol grounds and, being of similar architecture to its pre-
decessor, adds to, rather than detraicts from the ^mple beauty of the struc-
ture. ' ■ ( ■ ' ' ! ■ '
As an illustration of the advance in structuiral science a comparision
of the two methods of building is interesting. The original structure was
begun' in 1838, and finished in 1861. Deducting for time consumed in
numberless interruptions, the time aictually spent in the building of it, wais
fifteen years; the cost $1,360,000; the labor was that of idle convicts from
the Penitentiary; the material, dressed limestone from state quarries west
of the city. The new building was authoirized in 1898; oomer stone was
laid February 16, 1899, and 'on the 1st of Septemlber, 1901, the several
departments a^signied to this building are taldng possession of their
beautiful quarters. The exterior of the new building is of dressed lime^
stone; the trusses are of steel. The aictual time of building was three
3^ars, the cost $450,000, and the foot-space of public offices equal to
about one-half that of the main buiMing. The old building is 304 feet

in its longest dimensions (n'oxth and ^onth) and 184 feet wide (east and
west), ^covering about two acres of grorand. The height from the groTind
to ontside pinnacle of the 'central dome is 128 feet; from fiooir of the.
rotunda to 'the eye of this dome is 120 feet; from floor of the rotunda to
the upper skylight 136 feet. The diameter of the rotunda floor is 64 feet
5 inches and the floor oontadns 4,892 pieces of marble. The copula sur-
rounding the dome (which was never completed as oTiginally designed)
is 75 feet in diameter. There are 53 roomis in the Capitol Building. The
new Department of Justice or Law Building is 220 feet north and south
by 100 feet east and west and contains three full stories and a clea-r story
on the east side. The rotunda is finisheid in marble and tastefully deco-
rated, with an architectural effect said to be unequalled in the west. The
building contains 55 roomis and was primarily intended, as the name im-
plies, tO' house the Supreme Court, the Clerk of the Court, the Supreme
Court Library, and the Attorney Grenieral's department. These depart-
ments occupy practically all of the second and third floors, the first
story being devoted to the departments of Agriculture, Health, Insur-
n:^ce and Public Works.
THE OHIO STATE BOAED OF AGlilCULTURE.
THE Ohio S'tate Boiard of Agriculture wa® created by an act of the
General Assembly, passed February 27, 1846. The first officers
of the board were ex-Governor Allen Trimble, President ; Sam'i
Medary, Secretary; M. L. Sullivant, Treasurer. The first Ohio State Fair
was held in Cincinnati, Oct. 5-7, 1850, and a fair has been held each
year since that time, except in 1888, when the Ohio Centennial took its
place. From 1850 until 1874 the fair was held in the principal cities
of the state, the ciity offering the greatest induicement, in the way of finan-
cial aid, securiug it. In 1874 the board concluded to establish the fair
permanently and centrally at the Capital of the State. The grounds of the
Franklin County Agricultural Society (now Franklin Park), were rented
until 1886, when the fair was held on grounds just north of the city,
which the board had purchased three years previous and fitted up for this
purpose. Exposition Park, which contains one hundred and fifteen acres,
has been beautifully ornamented by lakes, trees, shrubs, etc., and fine
buildings ha.ve been erected foT the various classes of exhibits, at a cost
of several hundred thousanid dollars. The live stock buildings aTe the
largest and best in the country. The horse building is three hundred
and thirty-two feet square and will aooommodate over five hundred horses;
and in addition to this, there are barns provided for speed and fancy
horses. The cattle, sheep, and swine buildings are a little smaller than
the horse building, but are similar to it in all details and have ample
accommodations for immense exhibits. These structures a^re brick and
stone, with slate roofs. Broad, clean walks extenid through all the build-
ings, and visitors can, with comfort, view the animals in their stalls and
pensi.
In 1880 the system of crop reporting was inaugurated by the board,
with a corps of about eight hundred voluntecT reporters, reports being
made quarterly; since that time the number of correspondents has about
doubled, the scope of the work has been enlarged and for a number of
years the publication has been issued monthly.
In 1881 a Islw was passed by the General Assembly charging the
Secretai7 of the State Board of Agriculture with the duty of licensong
the sale of commercial fertilizers in Ohio, and also sampling and analyz-
ing the same for publlcntion. This work has been successfully pursued
by the secretary with very satisfactory resuitsi both to consumers of com-
mercial fertilizers and to manufacturers of same. The work has grown
gradually, from small beginnings, until" now a very large business is done
and a considorable force is employed in the inspection, chemical anal5rsis,
etc., of fertilizers.
In the winter of 1880-81 ^}\e board entered upon the work of holding
farmers' institutes, and twentj-seven successful meetings were held that
winter. The number increased gradually until 1889-90, when sixty-two

meetings were held. During the winter oif 1890 the Greneral Assembly,*
recognizing the value of farmers^ inistitutes to the agriioulturists of the
state, passed a law making liberal pTOivision for their suppoirt, thujs en-
abling the board to largely increasie its wiork in this direction. In 1890-91
one hundred and twenty-four insititutes' were established by the board, and,
during the institute reason of 1900-01 about three hundred meetings were
held.
On May 7, 1902, the Geneiral Assembly passed an aict whereby the
Ohio State Board of Agriculture was constituted the Board of Live Stock
ComtQissioners. The board oirganized by selecting the same officers as were
serving, in like positioinsi, the State Board of Agriculture, and appointing
Dr. Paul Fischer, of Cblumbus, as State Yeterinarian. The work of the
Division was entered upora at oinioe and has been actively carried on during
the summer and fall.
The General Assembly enacted a law on May, 10, 1902, trans-
ferring the work of inspecting nurseries and orchards from the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station to the Department of Agriculture. The work
w&iS taken up promptly. Mr. A. F. Burgess was appointed Chief Inspector
and several Assistant Inspectors were also appiointed.
The Ohio State Board of Agriculture consists of ten members, two
being eletcted each year for a perioid of five years. The office of the boiard
is in the State House and is in charge O'f a, Secretary and Aissistant Secre-
tary, who employ a stenographer, statistician, libirariani, and a number of
clerks. The Secretary is the heaid of the Department of Agriculture,
which is a department of the State Government. The depiartment hais an
extensive agricultural library lof about seven thousand volumes, and through
regular exchanges, receipt of government documients, gifts, purdhases, etc.,
it is rapidly growing. These books and documents are available for refer-
ence to all who wish to use them'.

OHIO AGEICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION AT
WOOSTEiE.
TILE Ohi'O Agricultural Eixpieriin.erQit Statio'ii wais established by an
.act of tbe G-enjerai Assembly, passed ApTil 17, 188S; its object be-
ing, as recited in this act, "for the bc'iiiefit of the interests of praioti-
oal and scientific agriculture, and for the development of the vast agri-
cultural resources of the State/^ The station never had any organic icon-
nection with the State University, b'ut it- wa,s at first located at that in-
stitutiou', a few acres of land being set apart for its use and the Professor
of Horticulture in the University b'eing made its first Director, this office
being transferred tO' the Professor of Agriculture at a later date.
In 1887 the National Congress piassed an act- now known a,s "the
Hatch act," aipprop[riiating $15,000 annnally tO' each state and territory
for the establishment of Agricultural Experiment Stations, these staitions
to be organized in ooanneetion with the colleges which had been Or might
be established under what is popularly known as the "aigricultural college
act of 18 62/' except that, in states which had previously established agri-
cultural expieriment stations separate fro^m such colleges, permission was
given to devote the appropriation to such separate stations.
This course wa^s followed in Ohio', and the experiment Station wa.s
re-organized, Charles E. Thome being made Director, and the major
part of the Undvensity farm being aissigned to the use of the Station.
The rapid growth of the City of Columbus around the University
soon showed that the time must come when its lands would becom^e too
valuable to be used for purposes of iagriculture, and the permianent and
largely increased incotme mow assured tO' the Station made it seem necessary
that it should be so established that its work might be continued indefi-
nitely withou.t interruption. The General Assembly therefore passed an
act authoirizing the several counties of the state to issue bonds for the pur-
chase of lands and the erection of buildings for the use of the Station
and to bid for its location. Several counties immiediately took action
under this law, and the offer of $85,000, made by Wayne county, was
accepted by the Board of Control of the Station; the bonds were sold,
several adjoining farms, lying near the city of Woioster, were purchased
and the eireiction of buildings was at once commienced.
A dissatisfied citizeni of Wayne county afterward brought suit to con-
test the constitutionality of the law under "^hioh the county had thus
bonded itself. The loommon pleas and circuit cooirts both declared the
(827)

law valid, but these decisioiiis were reversed in the Supreme Court, on
the ground that the people of that part O'f the state were taxed for the sup-
port of an institution intended for the benefit of the whole state (see Con-
stitution of Ohio), and it was held that the incidental benefits derived
from the proximity of the Station were no justification or the extra
taxation for its support. This decision seriously interra^ ted the work
of the Station, but afteir about two years the General Asr.mb'ly assumed
the payment of the bonds and has since made provision for the comple-
tion of the buildings necessary for the Station's work. ^ nose comprise the
Administration Building and Chemical Laborator}^, which is built in fire-
proof construction of the yellowish sandstone found on the Station farm;
a block of greenhouses, 80 x 115 feet, with stone offices in front; a small
biological laboratory; four large bams and a number of smaller ones; a
fully equipped creamery, and seven dwellings. The Station owns 470 acres
of land, in which it has laid about 26 miles of tile drains. It has planted
about 20 acres in orchards, in which more than YOO varieties of fruit
are now in bearing. It has about 70 pure bred cattle, of six different
breeds, and similar flocks of pure bred sheep.
As originally organized, the board of control of the Station consisted
of the Grovernor of the State, three- persons appointed by him, and the
person whom these should select as the director of the Station. At the re-
quest of Governor Nash the 75th General Assembly so modified this law
as to relieve the Governor and the director from membership in the
board. At the same time the law was so amended as to place the manage-
ment of the Station distinctly in the hands of the director, subject to
general regulaiions made by ^h^ board of control, thus following the
practice of the state in the management of all its public institutions.
Under the amended law the Governor appointed the gentlemen
named below as members of the board of control. This new board or-
ganized March 3rd, and at their request the General Assembly trans-
ferred the work of orchard and nursery inspection to the State Board
of Agriculture, thus relieving the Experiment Station from all police,
work and leaving it free to devote its energies wholly to scientific re-,
search in agriculture.
The work of the Station is now organized in four departments: (1)
Executive; .('0 Agricultural; (3) Horticultural, and (4) Department of
Plant Physiology and Pathology. Within the Executive Department are
organized S( ctions of Entomology and Chemistry, each department and
section being in charge of a specialist.

THiE Athens State Hospital was under the prooess of ooanstruotioii
from 1868 until January 9, 1874, wihen the first patients were
admitted. The first two admissions to the institution were Thos.
Armstrong and Daniel Eernajw. Mr. Arnustmng died within a fow
months and Mr. Eernaw has been until now an inmate of the institution.
Dr. Eiehard Gundry was made Superintendent of Construotion in
June, 1872, and remained Superintendent until the 15th of December,
1876, when he resigned to assume the superintendence of the newly con-
structed asylum at Ciolumbus. Upon the resignation of Dr. Gundry the
superintendency of the institution deivolvod upon the senior assistant phy-
sician. Dr. Thoa. Blaokstone, now of Circleville, Ohio> Who managed its
affairs discreetly and faithfully. On the 16th of January, 1877, Dr. C. L.
Wilson, of Indianapiolis, Ind., was chosen to fill the vacaucy. He being
declared ineligible by the Supreme Court, Dr. H. C. Rutter was elected
by the bioard of trustees to fill the vacancy. D'r. K-utter was then a resident
of Belief ontaine, Ohio. The next superintendent was Dr. P. H. Clarke,
of Meigs connty. Dr. Holden, of Zanesville, was then appointed to suc-
ceed Dr. Clarice. On the 6th of May, 1880, Dr. H. C. Eutter was re-
appiointod and he resigned his portion in F^biruary, 1881, and Dr. A. B.
Richardson w^ais elected to fill the vacancy. Dr. Richardson resigned the
superintendency April 17, 1890, and Dr. W. P. Crumbacker was appointed
to the place. Dr. Crumlbacker resigned May 19, 1892, and Dr. C. 0. Duuh
lap was appointed. He resigned June 1, 1896, and Dr. E. H. Rorick was
appointed to fill his place. While it can be said that the Athens State
Hospital never had an inefficient superintendent it will be noticed on
the other hand that two of the superintendents (Dr. Gundry and Dr.
Kichardson) attained a national reputation in their line of work.
This hospital is in close proximity to the beautiful and historic city
of Athens, noted for its pure air and cultured people. While the Athens
State Hospital is not the largest in the istate it is certainly one of the
best. It is here that years ago Dr. Richardson, then its superintendent,
first took the straight- jaicket off the inmates and inaugurated a new era in
the treatment of insane patients. It was also during the superintendency
of Dr. Richardson that the congregate dining room system was inaugu-
rated in the i&tate of Ohiou
The original capacity of the institution was only 572, but by new
arrangements and some additions to the buildings the capacity has been
enlarged to 813. The greatest numJber of pattients ever in the institution

THE CLBVELAlsrD STATE HOSPITAL
THE Cleveland State Hospital, with a capacity of one hundred and
two, was opened March 5, 1855, by Dr. L. Firestone, with about
iifty patients, whose disalbilities required the attention of but one
assis'tant physician. The district consisted of twenty-two connties, em-
bracing about one-third of the state. The institution steadily increased
in size and number of patients until September, 1872, when it was almost
entirely destroyed by fire. But few lives were lost, however, and the pa-
tients numbering some three hundred, were temporarily quartered in the
other public institutions of the city and state. An act providing for the
re-construction of the building was passed March 18, 1873, and work was
begun immediately. It was not completed, however, until January, 1875.
Some years later the building was enlarged by the addition of six wards,
and in 1893 two convalescent cottages were added, making our present
capacity one thousand.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-six aind 1897 saw the cionstruiction of
a beautiful amusement hall on the grounds of the institution. It has a
seating capacity of eight hundred, the basement being fitted up with an
improvod system of bathing, lecture room, tailor shop, barber shop, etc.
Eeligious services are conducted in the hall <m Suuday, and a danice, in
which both patients and employes participate, on Wednesday night of each
week.
In 1897 the conigregate dining room was opened, in which six hun-
dred patients are fed three times daily, during which time music is rendered
by the orchestra.
As the years rolled by, customs changed and the city built up, the
footprints of Time were nowhere more clearly marked than in the State
Hospital. From the old-fashioned "Lumatiic Asylum" it has slowly but
surely developed into one of the most modern and well-appointed insti-
tutions of the country. We now have our own electric light plant, ioe
manufactory, training school foT nurses, detentioii hospital, and in fact
all the conveniences and appliances of modern times that tend to further
the solving of the great problem of caring for the insane. In the mean-
time, owing to the rapid increase of the population of both the city and
state, and the corresponding increase in the number of insane to be cared
for, other institutions of a like nature have been erected in the state, in
consequence of which the Cleveland State Hospital distribt now embraces
but six counties, v^ich gives a daily average of eleven hundred patients.

The Cleveland State Hospital.
Cleveland townsMp, in wliicli the Cleveland State Hospital is situ-
ated, was not at the time of the opening of the institution a part of the
City of Cleveland, but constituted what was then a part of the village
of Newburgh, an inooirp oration separate and apart from the city. Since
that time, however, Newburgh has been annexed toi the city, and at the
present time the southern city limit lies quite a distance south of the in-
stitution.
The Hospital is situated on an elevated piece of land in the southern
part of the township', the grounds occupying ninety-eight acres, the greater
part of which is laid out in park. The stately building with its solemn
grey stone walls can be seen for several miles, and is a noted landmark.

THE COLUMBUS STATE HOSPITAL.
THE "Lunatic Asylum of Obio^' was organized by Act of the Thirty-
fourth General Assembly, passed March 5, 1835, &ixty-two years
ago, and Samuel Parsons, WiUiam M. Awl aind Samuel P. Mac-
craoken were appointed Directors.
These Directors seleetod a tract of land about one mile east and north
of the State House, in C^olumbus, comprisioig thirty acres. This tract
fronted south on what is now East Broaid street, and the western boundairy
was near what is now Washington avenrue.
During the next three years they erected a building on these
grounds, at a cost of about sixty-one thousand ($61,000) dollars.
The institution accommodated one hundred and twenty patients, and
was the fir^it institution for the treatment of the insane organized west
of the Alleghenies. A very fair representation of the building is given on
the second page, which is a copy of a painting made by an inmiate of the
asylum, and the original of which is still in the possession opf the present
Hospital. ' '
On May 21, 1838, William M. Awl, M. D., of Columbus, was elelcfted
Medical Superintendent by the Trustees, and the first patient was re-
ceived on T^ov ember 30 of that year.
The building was two hundred and ninety-five feet in length and
contained one hundred and fifty-three singlerooms. TheDirectors apolo-
gized for the apparently extravagant size by saying that it would be re-
quired in a few years. Yet it was the only asylum the state then had.
Now — 1900-1-3 — ^the state has accommodations for moTe than seven thou-
sand five hundred patients in the several "State Hospitals" at Cleve-
land, Columbus, Dayton, Longview, Massillon and Toledo, and every
institution is crowded to its full capacity.
Dr. Awl was in charge as Superintendent until 1850, a period of
twelve years, when he was succeeded by Samuel H. Smith, M. D. He
was succeeded in 1852 by E. Kendrick, M. D., and he by George E.
Eels, M. D., in June, 1854. On August 1, 1855, Dr. Eichard Gun-
dry, who later became so prominent in the care of the insane in Ohio
and the United States, was appointed assistant Physician.
In July, 1856, Dr. R. Hills, of Delaware, was appointed Superintend-
ent. He held the position for several years, and was succeeded by Dr.
William L. Peck.
On the evening of N'ovember 18, 1868, the asylum caught fire, and
was almost wholly destroyed. There were three hundred and fourteen
patients in the asylum, and isix were suffocated by the smoke before they
could be rescued. The others were removed to the asylums at Cleveland,
Dayton and Cincinnatr, which had been built since this one was organized,
(841)
842 ^^E BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OP OHIO.
The Columbus State Hospital.
On April 23, 1869, an Act wae passed by the Legislature authorizing
the re-building of the asylum on the old grounds, and contracts were let
September 23, 1869, and work was begun on the foundation October 24th
of that year. Winter soon stopped the work, however, and during the en-
suing session of the Legislature, on the 18th of April, 1870, a bill was
passed authorizing the sale of the old tra;ct and the purchase of a new site
to contain three hundred acres of land.
Governor Tl. B. Hayes, State Treasurer S. S. Warner, and Attorney
General F. B. Pond were appointed a Commission to sell the old site and
to purchase a new one. They were required to sell the old site at a price
not less than $200,000, and to purchase a new site of not less than three
hundred acres at a cost not to exceed $100,000.
The Commission reported in favor of the purchase of three hundred
acres from Wm. S. Sullivant, on the high lands west of Cohiinbus and
across the Scioto valley, paying therefor two hundred and fifty dollars
per acre.
The Trustees took charge of this tract, which is the present site of the
ETospital, on May 5, 1870. The site of the building was determined upon,
work was begun under the old contracts, which had been transferred to
the new site, and the comer-stone was laid on July 4th of that year.
The institution was finally completed on July 4, 1877, just seven
years from the laying of the comer-stone, on July 4, 1870.
The total cost of eonstmction at the time of the opening was $1,520,-
980,45 — at the time of writing (1901) the cost of constmction has exceeded
$2,000,000.
The first patient was admitted into the new Hospital on August 23,
1877, and this patient is still an inmate of the institution, twenty years
later.
The Hospital, as completed, stands on an elevated plateau about three
miles west of High street, on the north side of Broad street, facing almost
directly east. It consists of a central Administration Building and two
wiuirs. of four sections each, and a rear wine. The lateral TviTlo^s and the
Administration Building have a lineal frontage of about 1.200 feet, and
the rear wing and Administration Building have a depth of about 800
feet. Tt is nearly all four stories in height, and the distance around the
foundation walls is about one and one-quarter miles. The building, when
opened, accommodated eight hundred and fifty-two patients. In the wings
for the patients there were four hundred single rooms and one hundred
and sixteen associated dormitories for the use of patients. There were
twenty-eight wards from 120 to 180 feet in length, and each ward con-
tained bath, lavatory, water-closet, clothing room and two rooms for
attendants.

THE DAYTON DISTRICT comprises ten counties, viz. : Montgom-
ery, Brown, Butler, Darke, Greene, Miami, Preble, Shelby, Warren
and Clermont. The Dayton State Hospital was first occupied Sep-
tember, 1855, with a capajcity of 162, known as the Southern Ohio Luna-
tic Asylum. In the year 1875, it was changed to Western Ohio Hospital
for the Insane; in 1877, to the Dayton Hospital for the Insane; in 1878,
to the Dayton Asylum for the Insane, and in 1894, to the Day Don State
Hospital. The hospital is located on a hill southeast of the city of Dayton,
adjoining the corpoiration two miles from the court house. It is on the
congregate plan, consisting of the adnDinistration building, four stories in
height, and the wards on either side three stories in height.
The original building contained six wards, three on either side of the
administration building, with a capacity of 164. In 1861, the capacity
of the Hospital was increased to 600 by the addition of six wards on each
side. In 1891 it was again enlarged by the addition of congregate dining
rooms, one on each side, which increased the capacity 170, giving us a total
capacity at this time of 770.
The Hoispital at this time has a frontage of 940 feet, and is uniformly
three stories in height, except the administration building, which is four
stories and surmounted by a copula. The state property consists of aibout
300 acres, 40 acres of which are in lawn; also four artificial lakes, which are
about four acres in extent.
The Hospital is controllod by a board of five trustees, appointed by
the Grovernor, whose tenure of office is five years; the term of one trustee
expiring each year.
The annual expenditure for the support of the Hospital is about $150,-
000.00.

THE LONOVIEW STATE HOSPITAL.
TH.IS Asylum is one of the notable charities Off Hamilton coointy, for
which the State of .Ohio makes annual appropriations. It is the
outgrowth of a combination of circumstances which haVe deter-
mined its peculiar legal status. It has been the subject of more than
thirty years of contention, and its history is that of a great political
wrong; and an account of its establishment, growth and present condi-
tion might not be uninteresting to the general public.
The first asylum for the insane erected in Ohio was built in Cincin-
nati, under an act of the Legislature, passed January 22, 1821, entitled,
"an Act establishing a Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum for the
state of Ohio."
By the terms of this enactment the trustees of Cinicinnati township
were to furnish a site for said institution, containing not less than four
acres of land, within one mile of the public landing on the Ohio river,
and erect the necessary buildings (which were to be of brick) for the
safe-keepingr comfort and medical treatment of such idiots, lunatics and
insane persons of this state as might be brought to it for these purposes.
The trustees were to receive certain compensation for the care of ^such
patients, to be paid by the county sending the same, if paupers, or by the
friends or guardians, if the patients had estates.
In addition, the trustees were required to admit and care for, free
of charge, all boatmen belonging to boats owned by citizens of Ohio or
to boats of the citizens of other states which provided hospital accommo-
dations to boatmen of this state. They were also required to receive into
said institution, and care for, all the paupers of Cincinnati township.
The institution was to be known as "The Commercial Hospital and
Lunatic Asylum of Ohio." The state donated, for the purpose of assist-
ing in the erection of said asylum, $10,000 in depreciated or uncurrent
bank bills then in the state treasury, from which were realized $3,500 in
specie.
The Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum of Ohio was the
parent institution from, which afterwards sprung the Orphan Asylum, the
City Infirmary, the Cincinnati Hospital and Lomgview Asylum. It was
the beginning, on the part of the istate, which has led to the establishment
of the great benevolent institutions of which every citizen of Ohio is
justly proud.
The legislature, on March 7, 1835, authorized the purchase of land
for a lunatic asylum, and at the next session authorized the erection of
an asylum for the insane on the land recently purchased for that purpose
(850)
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. 35^
The Long view State Hospital,
at Colmnibus. Said institiLtion was to b© knjown as the Luna^tic Asylum
of OJiio. On March 9, 1838, an act was passed, entitled, "an act to pro-
vide for the safe-keeping of idiots, lunatics or insane persons, the man-
agement of their affairs and for other purposes," which required all per-
sons found to be lunatics to be sent to the Ohio Lunatic Asylum, and re-
pealing all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the privision of said
dct. 'I'hus the Uincinnati Hospntal and Lunatic Asylum of Ohio ceased
CO be a state institution on March 9, 1838, although the name remained
till Maryh 11, idtil, wnen it was changed to (Jommercial iiotipital of Cin-
cinnati.
'liie state afterwards built two additional hospitals for the insane,
one at Dayton and tne other in the nortliern part of Ohio, and on April
7, iooo, tne legislature passed "an act to provide for the umform gov-
ernment and better regulation of the lunatic asylumsof the stateand the
care 01 luiO'ts a'na insane,'' wnicn -aiviaea tne 'State moo three districts,
known as tne iNortnern, Uentral and boutnern JJistrictiS. Hamilton county,
tmgcuier witii tuu'tecn otner counties, consututed. tne boutliern District,
Uie asyium lor wnicn was located at Dayton, but, on Marcn 10, 1857, tne
legibiature passed an act making Hamilton county a separate district for
iiiuatic asyium purposes, and providing for the erection and government
ox an asyium tntrein, and that tne coriiitiissioners shall cau^se ail tne insane
01 tne county to be placed in such asylum wnen completed. The act fur-
tner provided that tne inmates of the asylum be supported and the salaries
of Its oincers paid from "a fund consisting of all tne money raised in the
county oi Hamilton h^ counity tax for the support of idiots, lunatics and
insane persons, and of such appropriations as shall be made by the state
lor tne support of curable lunatics in said asylum, equal to the amount
annually raised by taxation from the county of Hamilton for the support
01 lunatic asylums in the state.'^ An act of April '^6, 1873, which repealed
the provision of the act of 1857, and substituted in its place a law which
provided that Hamilton county should receive, for the support of Longview
Asylum, a sum which should bear such a proportion to the entire appropria-
tions for the support of the curable insane of the state as the population
of Hamilton county bears to the population of the state outside of said
county. 1
The injustice of the law of 1873 has been so apparent that no Gen-
eral Assembly since 1880 has insisted on its enforcement. In the years
1880 to 1883, both inclusive, the legislature appropriated $10,000 each
year in excess of the iamount due under the statute of 1873. Since 1883
the legislature has wholly disregarded the rule of 1873, and has appro-
priated to Longview gross sums, in the same manner that appropriations
were made to the other asylums.

The care of the imsarae in .Hamilton county is an exception to the
general system O'f the sta^te, and foT more than twenty years spasmodic
efforts have been made on the part of the state to acquire the ownership
and contTol of Longview, and to make it part of the state system, but
to no practical end.
A new building to accommodate two hundred and fifty patients is
being constructed by and at the expense of the connity of Hanmlton.
TPIE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF LONGVIEVi^ HOSPITAL.
The Board of Directors of Longview consists of five membens, two
of whom aire appointed by the GrovernoT, and one each by the Common
Pleas Court, the Probate Judge and the Connty Commissioners. They
hold office for five years, and :are not removable except for cause, which
gives the board a fixed tenure, and makes it free from, sudden political
changes.

THE MASSILLON STATE HOSPITAL.
O^ March 31, 1892, was passing a bill authorizing the apipointment
of a oonmiissiion to select a site for the building of a new insti-
tution, to be known ais the Eastern Ohio Insane Asylum, now the
MassiUon State Hospital. The commission was appointed by Go'vernor
McKinley very shortly after the passage of the bill, and consisted of Dr.
A. B. Eichardson, Columbus; George R. Davis, Wapakoneta., and Dr. C.
W. King, Dayton. This commiisision selected a site two miles south O'f Mas-
siUon, Stark county, Ohio, and on November 30th, same year, the Gov-
ernor appointed a board of trustees, ooni v)rmitory with the law establish-
ing the institution. This building board consisted of Rob't Sherrard, Jr.,
Stenbenville; S. J. McMahon, Oamhridge; Wm. H. MuUins, Salem; Dr. A.
B. Eichardson, Columbus; Dr. H. C. Eyman, Cleveland. Under the supex-
vision of this building board a dining-room building, a kitchen and bakery
building, a store house, a boiler house, a power house, a carpenter shop, a
laundry building, a hospital building, an infirmary building, a superin-
tendent's residence, a steward's residence and iseven cottages were con-
structed.
The institution has now a capacity of 756 patients. In 1894 Mr.
Mullins resigned and was succeeded by J3. F. Perry, of Jeff erson. In 1895
Mr. Sherrard died; his place was filled by the appointment of Mr. D. J.
Sinclair, of Steubenville. In February, 1897, Dr. Eyman waiS succeeded by
Dr. E. G. Carpenter, of Cleveland, Mr. Sinclair by GeorgeD. Copeland,of
Marion. In April, 1898, Dr. A. B. Eichardson was elected sruperintendent
and Dr. A. B. Howard, of Ouyahoga Falls, was appointed his successor on
the board. In October, 1899, Dr. A. B. Eichardson resigned his position
as superintendent and Dr. H. C. Eyman, of Cleveland, was appointed his
snaoessor. In April, 1900, the board was changed from a building board
to an operating board with the following members : Mr. S. J. M'cMahon,
^ Cambridge; Mr. George D. Oopeland, Marion; Mr. J. B. Zerbe, Clevelainid;

THE TOLEDO STATE HOSPITAL.
THE Toledo State Hospital is built upon the cottage i=iyistem and bas
been opened for the occupancy of patients abo'ut twelve yeaj's. Its
plan of construction was a radical departure fi^oan the structures
then in use for the care of -tlie insane, incorporating the most advanced
thought upon the subject. The idea originated with General Brinkerholf,
of the B'oard of State Charities, who favored the erection of a new asylum
in JSTorthwestern Ohio. When the Sixty-fifth General Assembly camei m
Noah Swayne, Jr., of Toledo, was chairm^ain. of the Committee on Insane
Asylums in the House, and Dr. Byers and General Brinkerhoff had fre-
quent interviev^s with- him in regard to a new asylum. He was friendly
to the project, but insisted that the state finances would not allow an appro-
priation oif over $500^000. The appropriation provided for 650 patients.
There was a great diversity of opinion among legislators as to loca-
tion. Every one wanted it in his own county, and this came very near
defeating the proposiition altogether, but in the end, near the close of the
session, as a compromise, the whole question of location and plans was
undertaken by a commission, of which Governor Toster was president,
Dr. Byers was secretary, and General BrinkerhofE was a member. Gen^
eral BrinkerhofE insisted that no plan should be approved that did not pro^
vide for 1,000 patients, which was about the numiber then in the county
infirmaries. He insisted that on an average the citizens of Mansfield, anid
other cities in Ohio, were housed at an average cost of less than $400 per
capita, and that $500 per capita certainly ought to make provision for
the insiane. A resolution to this effect was adopted by the coromission.
It was argued that it could easily be done with detached buildings at the
existing asylums, as it ha^d been done at Williard's Asylum in New York
at $250 per capita, and that it should be done foo- $500 per capita upon
the cottage system, of which the only example in the United States was at
Kankakee, Illinois. With ail the light that could be secured the coanmission
made its decision, and finally let the contract inside of the approipriation.
The law did not limit the commission location 'to any section of the state,
from the beginning of the com'mission was unanimous for the site finally
selected.
Dr. H. A. Tobey has been the superintendent of this model institu-
tion from the opening in 1889, with the exception of one year, under Gov-
ernor Campbell, the institution was superintended by Dr. Tupper.
The hospital for men was built in 1898 and occupied S'epitember, 1899.
The one for women is now under construction. Many improvemenits and
valuable elianges are being made and projected. A new boiler plant, en-

THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO.
The Toledo State Hospital,
tire, was put in last year, and the eontraot has been let for a new electric
lighting plant, the old one being inadequate. Eight of the wards have
been remodeled. Everything but the roof and walls; about three-fourths
of the buildings have been destroyod and rebuilt, these changes beingnec-
essar^r because of the fact that the buildings, originally, weredioaply con-
structed. A large portion of the suooess of this hospital is due to the efforts
of ex-CrOVfemor Foster, who, in addition to being a member of the original
oommittee on location of the hospital, has been a member of the board of
trustees from the day it was opened to patients. The fact is that the Grov-
emor, being regarded as a father of this great charity, finds much pleasure
in looking after it. It is said of him that when a cabinet portfolio was
tendered him at Washington, D. C, that had it come to the question of
resiguing the tnisteeship of this hospital or refusing to become a cabinet
officer, he would never have been President Harrison's secretairy of the
treasury.

THE INSTITUTION FOE. THE EDUOATIOISr OF
THE BLIND.
THE O'liio Institutioin foT tihe Education of the BKnd was founded
by act oif the Legislature in 1837. It was fourth in OTder of
estahlishment in the United States. In 1839 the first building was
oiocupied. This structure co'st the sftate $34,409 and was designed to ac-
oonimodate sixty pupils. The present house was occupied M^ay 21, 1874.
This building oost at first, exclusive of additions, $358,477.93 and was in-
tended to accommodate three hundred pupils. Later addition's have been
made increasing its capacity. The first year in the history of the institu-
tion there were eleven pupils enrolled. Last year there were 339 in attend-
ance. Since the establishment of the institution, 64 years ago, 2,058
pupils have been enrolled.
The cosit of maintenanc© from the beginning to Novenuber 15, 1900,
was $1,828,390.32. Probably $600,000 have been invested in permanent
buildings and improvements, making a total expenditure of abotut
$2,428,390.00:—
The average cost to the state for each pupil has been about $1,179.00.
This insititution is a School for the Education of the Blind, not an
Asylum, and it has been the endeavor of the management of the institu-
tion to keep this object before the public and not allow the institution
to become an infirmary.

INSTITUTION FOR FEEBLE-MINDED YOUTH.
♦T^HIS Institutimi wais established by law April 17, 1857. The pre-
I liminary work was commenced in 1840 by Dr. N. S. Townsbend,
who, while pursuing his medical studies in Paris, became interested
in the labors of Segnin, Itard and others in behalf of the class. In 1853
Dr. Toiwnisheaid, then a member of the Ohio Senate, so interested GTov-
ernor Medill in the results of his observations and studies abroad, that
he deivoted a portion' of his message to the Genieral Assembly to the sub-
ject. That part of the message relating to the subject was referred to a
select committee, of which Dr. Tbwnshend was chairmiarn. The committee
made a report, detailing what had been done for this class. A bill was
then introduced for the establisihment of an institution, but did not pasis.
At the session of 1857, Hon. Hemman Canfield introduced in the Senate
a bill to establish an Asylum for Idiots, which passed both Houses and
became a law Aprril 17, 1857. Govemior Chase appointed William Denni-
son, Norton S. Tpwnshend and Asher Oook, Trustees. Upon organization
of the Board, Mr. Denmison wais miade chairmian; Dr. Townshend, secre-
tary, and Dr. R. J. Patterson, superintendent. The Board rented the
buildings on East Main street, now occupied as the ''Home for the Friend-
less." The institution was opened with nine pupils. The number was
increased to fifteen at the date of the first report. The rented premises
were occupied until I8618, the number of pupils averaging, after the first
two years, between forty and fifty. The office of assistant superintendent
was created in 1859, ancl Dr. 0. A. Doren was appointed tO' that position.
In 1860, the superintendent. Dr. Patterson, resigned, and Dr. Doren was
elected superintendent by the Board of Trustees, and has continued in that
position since, now forty-two years.
After closely ob®erTing the operations of the institution and their
results, the Legislature, in 1864, provided for the permanent establishment
of the institution, authorizing buildings upon a suitable site for the ac-
commodation of two hundred pupils. This provision was made during
the strenuous days of the Civil Wslt, and was a strong endorsement of
the value of the institution, as well as a valued acknowledgment of the
performance of dtity under the trying conditions of the War. The new
buildinigs were oiocupied in August, 1868, the number of inmates soon
reaching three hundred. The practical '\^lue of the institution being
demonstrated, additions were made, from year to year, until the 18th of
November, 1881, when over six hundred children were accommodated, and
when the main buildings were destTOyed by fire, happily, without loss of
life, or even injury, to any of the inmates, officers or employes. So anx-

iouis were paTenrfcs and gnaTdians \\mi their children and wards should not
lose any of ithe benefits of the institution, that only on© hundred of the
inmates oould be sent to their homes, the balance being crowded into the
buildings that escaped destruction. The operations of the institution were
conducted, during the three years of rebuilding, at great disadvajnttage,
from want of room and facilities for the prroper care and training of the
inmates. This was relieved by the occupiaition of the new buildings in
1884. In this case, fireproof buildings wereconstructed on thesite of those
destro^yed by fire, and fireproof outside stairways provided for all build-
ings that escaped destruction. Other buildings have been added since 1884,
until the nunibeT accommodated in 1900 was 1,100, when, the Legislature,
recognizing the duty of providing against the increase of this unfortunate
class, by placing them under such restrictionis as will prevent them multi-
plying their kind, provided for a permanent home, where the use of such
industrial power ais they possess may be escercised in their own support.
Authority was given to purchase a farm, not to exceed 1,500 nor less than
1,000 acres in extent, where they are to be kept through life, thus lessening
the increase from that source. About 1,200 acres have been secured, where
the males of this class will be provided with ahorae and such employment
as will come within the range of their capacities. The employments will
be mainly such as furnished by the farm, gardening, ^tock-raising and hor-
ticultural pursuits. The females are to be provided for at the home insti-
tution, where they can be better protected, as well as usefully employed
in domestic oocupiations. Buildings are now being constructed to accom-
modate about four hundred of each sex of the Custodial Class, and, when
completed, will restore the old department to its original purpose and
duties — '' to furnish special means of improvemient to that portion of our
youth who are so deficient in mind, or have suc'h marked peculiarities and
eccentricities of intellect as to deprive them of the benefits of other educa-
tional institutions and ordinary methods of instruction."

. THE HOSPITAL FOR EPILEPTICS.
THE 0>hio Hospitail for Epileptics at Grallipolis is the pioneer of its
kind in the United States.
The problem of providing proper ajccommodatioais for epilep-
tics, especially for those with unsoxiiid or defective minds, has engrossed
the attention of persons interested in nervous and mental 'diseases for
many years. In Ohio, as far hack as 1879, a bill for the establishment
of a separate institution for their aoooimmodation and treatment almost
became a law, passing one brancih of the legislaiture. Not, however, until
1890 was a law enacted providing for the establishment of a hospital for
epileptics and epileptic insane. All epileptics resident in Ohio are eligible
for admission to this mstitution, up to the measure of its capacity, each
county being entitled to a number proportionate to its population. 'No
discrimination is made on accauint of mental condition, age or sex.
The buildings, as OTiginaUy plainned, consisted of stone cottages
having a capacity of fifty beds each, located synnndtrically about a group
of executive buildings and coimccted by tunnels with a central power-
house, which was to furnish heat and light for all, and a central kitchen
and bakery, flanked by two congregate dining-rooms, one for each sex.
The whole group, with estimated aocoinmodajtions for one tihousand
patients, was planned so compactly as to cover scaircely more than twenty-
five acres, leaving the balance of one hundred acres of the original tract
for ornamentation and gardens. The wisdom of this plan was seriously
questioned, and subsequent experience land events have led to an entire
modification of it, so far as practicable. Of the original thirty-six build-
ings, only thirteen have been built as designed. The location and design
of six others, now nearly completed, have been materially changed. One
hundred and twentj^-five additional acres of land have been purchased,
and a cottage for the insane constructed at a distance of one-half mile
from the original group'. Other l»uildings, projected for the future, are
to-be much farther away, thieir precise location depending upon the possi-
bilities in the selection and purchase of land, which may or may not
adjoin the tract now owned by the state.
A tract of 110 acres of farm land has recently been purchased, on
which a group of oottaiges will be erected, and in whidh tiie husbanidmen
among the male patients will be aooonumodaited. This land adjoins the
sewage-disposal beds of the Hospital, and it is intended to utilize the sew-
age for fertilizing the farm. It is purposed to expand the institution in
the future by erecting small, homelike cottages for small and selected
groups of patients, leaving the large central cottages with their common
(878)
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. 879
The Hospital for Epileptics,
kitchen and oongregate dming-rooins for the aocoiimiodaitioii of more ad-
vanced cases of epilepisy and for the infinnaiy class of inlmiates. A new style
of airchiteeture has been decided lupon, by which M is beUeved the monotony
of the present symmetrical groups of large stone cottages can be relieved.
A board of construction was appointed in 1890, which consisted of
James E. Neal, of Hamilton; John E. Vance, of GTailipolis; George H.
Bunnell, of Sidney; Lewis Slusser, of Canton.
The hospital was opened for the reception of patients, November 30,
1893. Six more cottages have since been erected, and when the buildings
now in course of construction are completed, which will be during the
present year (1901), accommodations will harve been made for 1,060
patients. The buildings will then cionsist of thirteen residence cottages
with from fifty to seventy-eix beds each; one laundry cottage for seventy-
five patients; one cottage for the insane, with a capacity of 200; one
schooihouse; two industrial buildings, each containing eight large, well-
lighted and well-ventilated rooms, accoananodating twenty-five patientis
each — in many of the manual industries commionly followed; one kitchen
and bakery building; one ice machine and cold storage building, with a
capacity of eighteen tons daily; two large congregate dining-rooms; one
boiler, power, and eiedrie light building; one waterworks building; one
hospital building, accommodating sixty, and one administration building.
The cost of the buildings up to the time w^hen those under way shall have
been completed, will be $565,000.
A pathological laboratory in which researches into the nature, oause^
and prevention of epilepsy are carried forward, has been a feature of this
institution for the past five years. Through the scientific studies pursued
in this laboiratory and published to the medical profession the Ohio Hos-
pital foT Epileptics has achieved international fame. The medical profieis-
sion of Ohio, and of the United States, is deeply interested in seeing this
important work encouraged and properly supported, since it is reializod
that by this method alone can the mysteries as to the natui^e, cause treat-
ment and prevention of epilepsy be solved. The investigations already
pursued by the scientific staff in this laboratoTy have already disclosed
some very important facts relative tothe cause and preventon of epilepsy.
Many of the patients came from almshouses, many from the lower
walks of life, and were uncouth in thieir manners and dress, filthy in their
habits, and rude in their conversation. The improvement most noticed by
visitors has been the wonderful change in their deportmient.

THE BOYS' INBUSTOaiAL SCHOOL.
THE Bo>ys' Industrial Scbo'ol is Ohio^s reformatoTy for juvenile male
offenders. It is siix miles soutih of Lancaster, Fairfield county, on
the Hocking Hills. Tlie state owns 1,210 iacres of land in this pic-
turesque regioin, and the boys are taught agriculture and horticulture to
the extent of producing all the vegetables and fruit that the institution
consumes. The institution is OTganized on the cofctage or segregate sys-
tem, is not 'Surrounded by wallsi, and is entirely free from bolts, bars or
other suggestions of restraint. It was the first penal institutiou in Amer-
ica to make the "open system'^ experiment, and so s'ucoessfully was it
operated that twenty-eight states hme used the Lancaster ischool as a
model. There are now 820 boys confined in the school for offenses lagainst
the statutes. These boys range in age fro>m 8 to 18 years and are serving
indeterm.inate sentences. Wihien received at the School they are charged
with demerits corresponding in number to the nature of ithe crime. These
demerits must be cancelled by exemplary deportment in school and shop,
before release. When released, a boy is on parole and cam be returned for
misconduct at any time before he reaches his majority.
The boys are required to attend school oinie-balf of each day, and are
in shop or on the farm the other half. There are mamy trades schools
where the boys are taught useful mechanical knowledge a.nd at the same
time contribute to the comfoirt and support of their fellows. Chief amomg
these trades are blacksmithing, floriculture, tailoring, baling, prinrbing,
carpentering, telegraphy, stenography, brickmaking, shoe-making, dairy-
ing, cooking, eto. They alsoi operate the steam, oold storage and electric
plants, the bairn, laundry and poultry plant. A boy band of forty- two
pieces is maintained, and the school is organized into a regimeint of three
batalMons, under instructions of a competent military man. Music and
physical culture a/re also features of the trainiing.

THE GIELS^ INDUSTRIAL HOME.
LOCATION.
THE homie is situated ten miles ©ouithwest of Delaiware, wiiih wihioh.
it is coimeoted by good pikes and long distance telephone. It is f otit
and one-half miles from Hyatts, six from Powell on the Oolumibus,
Hookiiig Valley and Toledo Eailroad ; and eight miles from Arnold on the
Toledo division of the Ohio Central Lines. The two latter stations aire
connected with the hoone by telephone, and all are easily accessible at all
seasons of the year becanse of the excellent pikes.
/FARM.
The farm comprises one hundred and eighty-nine acres on the west
bank lof the Scioto River. It is beantifnlly situated in an unusually health-
ful location. The grounds around the buildings are adorned with shade
trees a large portion of which are of the original growth.
The celebrated White Sulphur Spring furnishes an abundant sup-
ply of excellent waiter \\^ich is used for domestic purposes. The water
flows constantly from a vein more than OTie hundred feet below the mar-
ble basin from which it overflows.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings consist of the Administration, or Central Building, in
which reside the iSuperdntendent and family, the Clerk, Storekeeper,
Superintendent of Schools, and a Housekeefpier; eight cottages, a school
building, and a hospital. The latter is a valuable acquisition to the insti-
tution, furnishing commodious quarters for all hoispdtal purposes and com-
plete isolation for inmiates affected with contagious diseases. In each cot-
tage an Assistant Matron, Teacher and Housekeeper, with from forty to
fifty inmates, reside.

THE OHIO PENITENTIAEY.
THE Ohio Peimtetntiary covers 26 acres within the walls. About
two acres outside the prison proper are occupied by offices, the Dep-
uty Warden's residence, store rooms, bam and stables. The prison
itself is walled on three sides, the fourth being wholly absorbed by cell
houses, offices and the Warden's home. This side presents a-n imposing
front, about 800 feet in length, on Spring street, facing the Scioto river,
with the street and outer buildings between it and that stream, and a wide
fringe of green lawn before it that in summer is beautified by parterres of
flowers and shaded by fine trees. The cell houses and offices form a contin-
uous building from the southeast to the southwest gate, in which are more
than 1,600 cells, about 600 of these being provided with beds for two in-
mates, the remainder being too small to receive miore than one each. The
Female Department, which abuts on the southeast gate, is somewhat ad-
vanced toward the street beyond the frontal line of the main prison, and
reaches to the public sidewalk. It contains 46 cells.
The walls are dominated by towers at short distances apart, and of
which there are eleven. Within the enclosure is a small manufacturing
city, comprising the shc^ps of The Oolumbus Bolt Works, The George
B. Spraigue Cigar Co., C. S. Reynolds & Co., The E. B. Lanman Co., The
P. Hay den Saddlery Hardlware Co., The Ohio Olove Co., The Columibus
Chair C^., The National Broom Co., The Brown-Hinman & Huntington
Co., and the Columbus Hollow Ware Co., all private corporations that con-
tract with the state, through the Board of Managers, for the laibor of
prisoners, at specified price? for able-bodied and infirm men, respec-
tively, and in many instances pajdng to the prisoners certain agreed
amounts for all work produced beyond an appointed task. The total
amount earned by such overwork and paid in to the account of the men who
have earned it averages about $2,500 per year. These contracts employ
about 1,000 prisoners. In addition to the laibor utilized by these enter-
prises, the state employs about 700 men in the manufacture of the pris-
oners' clothing, the care of their sleeping quarters, repairs to buildings,
the preparation of food, the mianagement of the gas works — which supply
gas to the State Blind Asylum and the State Deaf and Dumb Asylum, as
well as to the Penitentiary — the care of the inside park anid other grounds,
and in the general administrati'on of the mural city with its two thousand
population. A tour of inspection more than repays the visitors, who come
in great numbers. The number of visitors is inicreasing yearly, as the peo-
r»le realize more and more that an interesting development of modemi ideas
relative to the protection of societv throU',s!^ the reforniation of the crim-

inal may be seem in its various phases from day to day. Since 1834^ -when
the present prison was first oiccupied — ^or, rather, that rudimentary portion
of it that is now kmown as the West Hall — an army of more than 34,53!^
prisoners has passed through its portals, as prisoners. Thje male prisoiners,
until a few years ago, wore the old regulation stripped uniform of the con-
vict. The striped clothing is now used only as a temporary garb of punish-
ment.
The walled city has been iswept by pestilence but once in its history.
In 1849, the cholera raged here, and 121 prisoners died within twelve
months, exacting the life of every third man among the prisoners. Now
the death rate has fallen from 55 to 36 in one year.
There is a finely appointed and well equipped hoispitalon the inside
grounds, but it is more scantily inhabited than has been the case for
years. Since the present adminisitration has assumed control a reform
has been introduced into the Penitentiary that has lessened the numher
of patients, halved the death rate, and removed the source of a danger-
ous discontent. That improvement is a change in the dietary, which the
present directorate of this great institution ihas adopted and made a suc-
cess, showing that economy and humanity go hand in hand. It has saved
lives, the cost of medicine, the price of enforced idleness and loss from
poor work. It has also contributed much to the improved good feeling
and morality of the prisoners.
THE MORAL^ RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL WORK
of the prison is carried on through the library, Sunday-school, prayer-
meetings, Bible classes and preaching serraes, under the care of the Chap-
lain, and a night school under the care of a teacher employed from the out-
side. While the rules of the prison forbid sectarianism, they also provide
that a prisoner desiring to have dnistruction in his particular faith may
be accommodated by the Warden. Under this provision Eoman Catholic
Church services are held by a priest in the Catholic chiapiel every Sunday
raorning.
THE PRISON BUILDINGS
are old and inadequate. The cells are of heavy stone walls, that admit but
little light and only poor ventilation. What is worse is that the peniten-
tiary is badly located. For several years the subject of disposing of this
property, and securing a new sight, in a suburb of Columbus, and erecting
new and up-to-date buildings, with sanitary features, has been agitated,
but nothing done. It is important that a commission -^©lyld be appointed
to take this niatter in hand and push it to a consummation.

The Ohio Peniteniiary.
PENITENTIARY BOARD OF MANAGEKS.

the Civil War, and has had much experience in financial and business ad-
ministrations, having been Auditor of Summit County, Ohio, and is now
Cashier of one of the banks of Akron. Captain Wagoner is well accredited
with being a careful and painstaking financier, and has looked wdl to the
financial interest of the penitentiary since his appointment.
The Hon. Coleman Gillilan was also a Union soldier in the Civil
War, and since his retirement from the Army has had an extensive business
experience and acquaintance, having traveled very widely in his commercia]
relations. Captain G-illilan's buisiness experience has made him a valuable
adviser of the business affairs of the penitentiary, and he shares with the
other members of the board the credit of the improved business conditions
prevailing in the institution. Captain G-illilan resides at Portsmouth,
Ohio.
Hon. McEldin Dunn, of Bellefontaine, O.; by his well-balanced
judgmient, and fair discriminating habit of minid, added to his experience

pointment.
Hon. a. J. Sheppard, of Zanesville, Ohio, has combined for a num-
ber of years with his profession as a lawyer, m:anufacturing and commer-
cial business. He is familiarly spoken of as' the lawyer of the Board, but
his eminence as an attorney does not detract from his value as a practical
business man.
The Hon. Harry S. Griffith, of Mt. Gilead, Ohio, is the junior
member of the Board of Managers, and comibines with personal energy that
maturity of judgment and carrefui attention to business which give dis^
tinction and success to men of affairs. Mr. Griffith is the editor and pub-
lisher of the Morrow County Sentinel, which is one of the leading papers
of the state. To these gentlemen is committed mot only the management
of the business affairs of the Ohio Penitentiary, but the cairing for the hun-
dreds of men and women who are continnally passing through the prison,
and are released under their direction either by dischaTge or parole. The
attention they have given to the welfare of the prison population
has secured for them the gratitude of the pTisoners. The good judgment
of the managers in appointing Hon. William N. Darby, Warden, has
been attested bv his kindlv and careful administration of the affairs of the

THE OHIO KEFORMATORY (MANSFIELD).
THE law creating this institution was enacted April 13, 1884; comer-
sitone was laid ini ^86, Hon. J. B. Forakear, Governor. The west
wing and ajdministration departments were not completed for oocu-
pancy until September 18, '96, when 150 prisoners were brought from
Columbus.
Tihe object of the institutioin is reformatory. Inmates are supposed
to be lirst offenders, are admitted for all crimes escept murder in the first
degree, between the ages of 16 and 30. Male persons only are admitted.
There are three graides: first, seooinid and third. When inmates are ad-
mitted they are placed in the second grade; if their couduct justifies at
the expiratio'n of six months, they are promoted to the first grade, in which
tliey remain for a second six months, when, if their conduct justifies, they
are recommended to the Board of Managers for parole. With the consent
of the Boarid of Managers they go out and remain the wards of state under
the supervisio'n of the imstitution for one year, when, if their conduct justi-
fies, they are fully discharged, a.nd restored to citizenship by the Governor.
Inmates are reduced to the third grade from either the first or second fofr,
punishment for certain misdemieanors.
They receive an indeterminate sentence from the court and the length
of time they remain here is governed largely by their conduct, and is ex-
clusively in the hands of the Superintendenit a.nd the Board of Managers.
They can be released at the expiration of the minimum tim^e prescribed
by law for the crime committed, ot can be retained until the maximum
time has expired.
The J are required to attend school and learn such trades as it is
•piossible to teaich them under the limited conditions now existing. It is
expected, however, within the next few years shops will be erected and
trades taught to these boys, so that when they go out, they will be able
to make an honest living.
Fonowing is a list of the members of the Board of Managers since the
institution began:

H. D. Peck, resigned, and K. D. Burnham succeeded E. N. Heard as
Assistant Surgeon.
In March, 1898, Col. R. B. Browm, after twelve years' continuous
service as a member of the Board of Trustees, resigned the office, and Col.
J. W. R. Cline, lof Springfield, was appointed to fill the vacancy.
On May 8, 1899, the state and the Home sustained a great loss in
the death of Gen. M. F. Force, the Commandant. The Board of Trustees
ordered spread upon the minutes the following testimonial on his death :
This Board will leave to others the task of writing suitable obituary for the
distinguished dead, but we desire to preserve on our own records some testimonial
of our appreciation of the eminent services rendered by Gen. Force for this institu-
tion. He was indeed the father of the Home.
"Greneral Force had achieved renown as a soldier and jurist before being called
«ipon to assume the great responsibility of -organizing this Home and placing it as
we all desired, first among the soldiers' homes of this nation.
"By unanimous voice of the Board he was tendered the position of Commandant
before the Home was opened. He accepted the responsibility and came with his

devoted wife to prepare for the reception of those who should seek the support and
protection of the institution, and as he often expressed it, not to make a military
camp, but a home for his unfortunate comrades. His high character and intelligent
zeal insured success from the first.
"With him charity and kindness went hand in hand with judgment and discip-
line. He was ever ready to hear the most humble petition, and while keeping up a
high moral standard for the Home he loved and encouraged the weak and unfortunate.
"His reiSDuroeful mind gave to the Home steady improvement and his spotleas
life protected it from scandal. His zeal and devotion were unbounded, and it was
a merciful Providence that permitted liim to live to see the full fruition of his hopes,
and to be comforted by the assurance of the national inspector that the Home of
which he was Commandant had found first place among the homes of the land.
"We shall miss him at our Board meetings, and wait in vain for him in our
councils, but we shall cherish his memory with love and gratitude.
"To Mrs. Force and her son we extend our profound sympathy and assure them
that wherever they may go they will bear with them the best wishes of every member
of tliis Board."
At the nieieting of the Boaird on May 17, Cia;pt. A. M. Aaderson was
aippoin'tdd Ciommiandiaiut, and C. A. Eeeser, of Siprinjgfield, was appointed
Adjutant.
The first of January, 1899, founid the new hospital completed, whiich
gives the bome the miost comlpilele structure of its kind of any institu-
tion in the country. Seven trained lady nurses were employed to look
after and care foir the edck and suffering old men. T'wiO' yeiairs'' experience
has shown that these ladies have iadded wonderfully to the comfoirt and
welfare of the sick.
The Home started in on the new century with an oivercrowded house.
Number present, January 15, 1,391; on the rolls, 1,621; average number
present for the year ending Novembeir 15, 1900, 1,216; co'st per caipita for
current expense, clothing, ofiicerrs^ salaries and trustees^ expenses, $151.15;
of which the general government payis $100.00, leaving a oosit toi the state
of only $51.15 per annum to comfortably house, clothe^ feed and give medi-
call attention to these old soldiers. Since the Home was opened in Novem-
ber, 1888, foirty-eight hundred and eighty-five (4,885) men have been ad-
miitted and dared for. The Home is largely indebted to the Giand Army
of the Republic and the Woman'sReliefC^orps for generous donations of
books, nuagazines and papers for the library, and hospital supplies! of jellies,
fruits, cushions and lother articles.
The enitire cost of building nnd permianienit impirovements, amount to
$657,863.72.
On April 18, 1901, Gen. A. M. Amderson died of heart failure. He
died the death of one beloved by the Gods, for it was instantaneous. He
was an honest and honorable man, and a conscientious and efficient offi-
cer. He had the love and respect loif the members of the Home.

pine campaigns. He is a G-rand Army of the Republic man, a Companion
of the Loyal Legion, and has attained the thirty-third degree in the A. &
A. S. Rite.
He assumed the duties of Commandant on May 6, 1901. Under his
a)dministration a number of improvements have been made by reason of
liberal appropriations of the General Assembly. A sewage dispos.-'i plant
has been constructed ion the most approved scientific principles. More
methodical methods have been introduced in the management of the
Home and it is now pronounced by the government insp'ootors to be the
best institution of its kind in the country.
The average membership last year, 1901, was 1,258, The greatest

THE OHIO SOLDIE'ES^ AND SAILORS' ORPHANS' HOMR
XENIA^ OHIO.
IN the sxbimiier of 1869 the attentiota of the survivors of the civil war
was called to the large number of fatherless chiMrteu in Ohio, who
were made so by the enoirmons gift of Ohio meoi to the Union Army.
Every hamlet and toiwnship possessed its quoita of soldiers' oirphams, while
in the larger cities the number of children rendered fatherless by the war
was so great as to be particularly noticeable to the public spirited men and
wo'mien who, having ^served in or in behalf lof the Union Army wheni in
the field, found themselves u^nwiliing to rest from their labors until ewery
possible step had been taken to heal the wounds of that notable conflict.
The members of the G^rand i^rmy of the Republic in Ohio took up the
matter of providing a home for these oirphans, those ex-soldiers who were
alreaidy prominent in the affairs of the state, taking the lead in the agita-
tion of the subject 'W^hich followed ; Chaplain Gr. W. Collier, G-en. J. Warren

Lee, Hon. John Sherm'an, Mrs. I/acy Webb Hayesi; Messrs. Milieu, Mc-
Millen, Lester Arnold, Capt. McDowell, and others of the city of Xeuia,
being prominently identified with the early days of the Hoime. In, Septem-
ber, 1869, a two-igtory building in the city of Xenia was rented by the
Grand Army otlTJcials, and converted by tempoirairy wooden partitions,
stairways and halls, into crowded aocommodationis for possibly fifty chil-
dren, i'unds were raised from public and private sources, principally by
Chaplain Cbllier, who canvassed the state aiiid addressed churches, Sunday
schools, Grand Army meetings' and private individuals, and children were

aidmitted as ln'st as aeciommjodations for them cofuld be proivided. Tbe citi-
zems of Xienia and of Greienie connty were genuinely inteTested in the move-
ment, and sipared nio piainis to make it a snccess. A room in the High
School Building, of Xeniia., was set apart for the children of the Home by
the board of education, thus providing immediaite' school privileges, and
the Corurt House Park was voted to their use by the city and coiumty officers,
thus providing a eonjvenient and well-kept playground. The citizens pre-
sented the Home with 100 acres of grouaiid, afterwardsi increaseid to about
300 aca-es by purchaise of the State of Ohio, on which the present institu-
tion was afterward located by the state, and the connty commissioners of
G^reiene coiunrt^y, diiring that winter, voted six thousanid dollars toward the
current expensels of 'the Home to prevent the children fro^m feeling the re-
duced condition tO' which the treasury of the G-rand Army had been deplet-
ed by the expense of opening and operating an institution of such a char-
acter. Theioyalty and public spirit of the mon and women of Greene coun-
ty during the war wais repeated in their efforts ini behalf of the orphans of
thewar. In the winter of 1870, with about 75 children in the Home, an ap-
peal was mjade to the General Assemlbly to adopt the children as wards of
the state, and to take or^er the property of the Home and miake it a state
institution. A committee from the Grenieral Assembly visited the children,
who were aissembled in the City Hall in. Xenia, inspiected the temporary
quairters in town, amd the property belonging to the Home just outside
the city limits to the southeast, and returned to Columbus in favor of the
propo'sition. The ©otmmittee was addressied O'U behalf of the children by a
Master G-ilkey, who was then a boy twelve years old, having been admitted
to the Home from Trumbull county in Jamuary of that year.
In April of 1870 the Homie paissied under the oomtTol of the i&tate, and
its removal from Xenia to its pres'ent lotoatiou on thie old Pelham farm,
was acciomplished in! Siefptember, the work of construction having been
pushed sufficiently to accommodate the children then in attendance. The
dooirs were thrown open to new pupils, atad as ©oon as the transfer fi^om the
city to the farm was effected, and from Sieptember, 1870, to the present
time, there has nef\^er been an hour when there were not more applicants foT
admission than could possibly be received.
It is a matter of coursie that the reqairiements for admission shoidd
be changed with changing conditions. In 1870 no' children were entitled
to !admission but those whose fathers were killed in action, or had since
died from the wounds or the disabilities of war. The lapse of timie 'Stoon
rendered this class of children ineligible froan age-limit, and the doors
were then oipened successively to thosie whose fathers being ex-soldiers
had died from any cause; to those whose mothers had died, the father
being an ex-istoldier, and unable tO' properly Oare foT his children; to the

In 1870 the instruiotion comisisted of the usual school course with some
OTitdoor labor; in 1875 industrial pursuits were added to the school course,
and to the numbOT of industries then inaugurated there have boen constant
additions, aggregating twenty-three, as tine science of manual training has
growTi more familiar to the educator. In the Home was thus established
fa/r in advance of similar public institutions, a Manual Training School,
supported by public funds for public uses. The Home is the largest insti-
tution of its kirud in the world, and has a long history of active educationial
work. Grraduate's from its schools are filling honorable positions in the
civil, political, financial, military, and naval departments of American
life. It has been frequently said that in all America it would be hard
to find a spot more hallowed to the memory of American Soldiery, more
filled with the stirring infiuences of patrioitic devotion to country and to
the country's flag; more typical of the peace and honor which follow
from the defense of Eights and Liberty, than among the scenes and ex-
periences which surround the home and school life of the 900 pupils
of the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home at Xenia.
From an old photograph, made in 1872, the illustration was taken

OHIO STATE U^nVEiBSITY.
THE Toledo Critic recently publislied an able article on the Ohio
State University, wliioli is here reprinted as a valuable and
compreliensive contribution to this work. The article in part
is as follows:
In 1878 the legislature passed "An act to reorganize and change the name of the
Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College and to repeal certain acts tnerein men-
tioned." The act provided that the institution should be thereafter designated as
"The Ohio State University." Up to this time but one appropriation had been made
by the State for the support of the institution. With the reorganization came the
larger and broader vievs^ of the State's relation to public education, ard since that
time the Ohio State University has shared with other public educational institutionis
a more generous support by the State.
The governing body of the institution is a Board of Trustees, appointed by the
Governor of the State and confirmed by the Senate, for terms of seven years as pro-
vided in the law organizing the University. The original endowment has v&en sup-
plemented, ana the objects of the University promoted, by a permanent annual grant
from the United States, under an act of 1890, by special appropriations of the
Greneral Assembly; and in 1891, by a permanent annual grant from the State, which
grant was doubled by the legislature of 1896. In accordance with the spirit of law
under w^hich it is organized, the University aims to furnish ample facilities for
education in the liberal and industrial arts, the sciences and the languages, and for
thorough technical and professional study of agriculture, engineering in its various
departments, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and law. Through the aia which nas
been received from the United States and from the State, it is enabled vo offer Its
privileges, with a slight charge for incidental expenses, to all persons of either sex
who are qualified for admission.
The Universiity is situated within the corporate limits of the city of Columbus,
two miles north of the Union Depot, and about three miles from the State Capitol.
The University grounds consist of three hundred and forty-five acres, bounded east
and west by High Street, and the Olentangy river, respectively. The western por-
tion, about 235 acres, is devoted to agricultural and horticultural purposes, and is
under the management of the College of Agriculture and Domestic Science. The
eastern portion is occupied by the principal University buildings, campus, athletic
and drill groimds, a park-like meadow, and a few acres of primitive forest.
The grounds are laid out with care, ornamented with trees, shrubs and flower
beds; and are so managed as to illustrate the instruction in Botany, Horticulture,
Forestry, Landscape Grardening and Floriculture.
The University has thirteen buildings devoted to instruction, one j3oiler House,
one Power House, two Dormitories, six residences, and some farm buildings. These
buildings represent an investment for construction of about eight hundred thousand
dollars. Tlie equipment and apparatus amount to about one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars. The land now occupied as a site with the farm is valued at one
million five hundred thouisand dollars.
The Ohio State University is divided into six colleges, as follows:
(1.) The College of Agriculture and Domestic Science consists of those depart-
ments represented in the course leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in
Agriculture, Bachelor of Science in Horticulture and Forestry, and Bachelor of
Science in Domestic Economy, and in the Course in Dairying.

THE OHIO UNIVERSITY (ATHENS).
THE history of tlie Ohio University aiutddates that of the State of
Ohio nearly two decades. Th'e ordinance providing for its exist-
ence aind support was passed by Congress, acting under the "Arti-
cloa of Confederaition," July 13, 1787, in th'e city of New York. The
leading spirit in the motvement was Manasseh Cutler, a native of Connec-
ticut, and a graduate of Yale of the class of 1Y65. In accordance with, the
spirit of his time he prpoposed to endow an institution for higher educa-
tion with, a granit of land. As there was a supefrabunidanoe of land, and as
the country^ was pretty sure to fill up rapidly, such an endowment was
supposed to he the most stable and almost sure to increase greatly in value.
The history of many land grants for educatioui shjows, h^owever, that while
the exipectaition of increase in value hajs reailized, the increase rarely accrued
to the pecuniary advantage of the beneiiciary. To this general state-
ment the Ohio University forms no exception.
Amofng the oirdinanices enacted for the Nortbwest Territory, there
was one providing thjat "no miore than two complete townships should be
given perpetually for the purpose of a University, to be laid off by
the purchaser or purchasers as near the center as may be (so that the
same shall be of good land), to be applied to the intended object by the
liegiislature of the State." In 1795 the lands to be devoted to the sup-
port of the University were located. The townships were numbers eight
and nine in the fourteenth range, now Athens and Alexander in Athens
county. T'he first families removed to them in 1797, and settled near the
present site of the town of Athens, the seat of the University. TW years
later the Territorial Legislataire appointed three commissioners "to lay
off in the most suitable place within the township, a to^wn plat, which
should contain a square for the college; also, lots suitable for house-lote
and gardens for a president, professors, tutors, etc., bordering on, or
encircled by spacious commons, and such a number of town lots adjoining
the said eoannuons and out-lots ais they think will be for the advantage of
the University."
In the same year Dr. Cutler sent his draft of an act of incorporation
for the University. In this draft he said among other things, "Forty or
fifty thousand dollars cannot be too high, as it must be applied to one of the
most useful and impoirtant purposes to society and government." Pass-
ing over some intermediate legislation, we find that the General Assembly
of the new State that had just been admitted to the Union, passed, in
1804, an act of which Section 1 irave to the institution its present name,
the Ohio University, and defined its object to be "tlie instmction of 3'^outh

The first building wia.s erected on the niortheast side of the present
campus and known as the ^'Academy." It was of wood and has long
since been torn down. The first building for collegJJate purpoises proper
was put up in 1817. l^is is therefore the oldest istructure of the kind in
the entire Northwest, if not west of the Alleghenies. It is four stories
high above the basement, and though somewhat remodeled twenty years
ago, is substantially the original building and is still in use. T'wenity years
later two additional buildings, also of hriok, were put up. In 1881 what
was for a time known as the "oliapiel building'^ was erected and subse-
quently removed to its p-resent site in order to make room for Ewing Hall,
the newest, as well as the largest of tlie college buildings. Though the
university wa.s chartered in 1804 no' instruction was given until 1809.
Tn June, 1808, the Board laid out a course of instruction which ^embraced
^'^the English, I^atiu;, and Greek knguagesi, mathematics, rhetoric, logic,
geography, natural a,nd moral philosophy." One yea!r later whm the
ficluoiol was formally oipiened but three studenits presented themselves. This
i? not surprising when we cooKsider the ispairseness and poverty of the new-
comers on the soil of Ohiiio. It seemed a paradoxical scheme to estaJbli^h
a university before preparatory schiools had bieen provided, yet this hafs
been the history of education from thie remoitest times^ — ^the higher has
always preceded the lower, though the latter did not lalways appear.
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. 909
The Ohio University (Athe\ns).
For dome years the university had huJt one inistraetor, the Bev. Jacob
Lindle}^, a graduate O'f PrirLceton. In 1812 Artemas Saiwyer, a graduate
of Harvard, was added as a second teacher, and six years later a tihird
v^^as added.
The first gTadujate was Tho^mas Biwing, who wais pirobably the first
person to receive a coillege diploma in all Western America. This docu-
ment waig dated 1815. The distinguished subsequent career of Mr. Eiwing
is well known. It is identified not only with the histoTy of Ohioi but with
that of tire nation.
The re\^eimes of the university were at first very small, but they
would in time have increiased to a respectable sum, as the two towniships
above named oointain neairly fifty thousand acres. Unfoi'tunately the legis-
lature interfered to prevent the revaluation of its land's, notwithstanding
the decisdonis of the various courts, so that the income from the rent dupli-
oate is and will remain at less than thirty^five hundred dollars per annum.
This legislative Act of 1843 dealt the University a blow 'from which it has
never fully recovered. The loss of revenue it oausod may be estimaiteid by
the foil owing statem'ent:
According to the decennial appraisem'ent of 1900, the value of the
land was, exclusive of improvements and inclusive of roadbeds of railroads,
$1,356,615.00. Six percesnt of this amoiunt would give an annual income
of $81,376.90. Toward the close of the seventies the legislature began
to make an'nual appTOpriations for the suipport of the university, and in
1'896 enacted the so-called "Sleeper Biill,^' which has since then given it a
revenue of nearly -thirty thousaind dollars. The "Seese Bill/^ pa^sised at the
regular session of 1900, makes pToyision for a State ISTormal College in con-
nection with the University, aaid gives for its support an annual revenue of
about $38,000. The total yearly revenue oif the University, from all
sources, is, apiproximately, $85,000.00.
Thoriigh the college has been giving instruction from 1809 under the
charge suoces'sively of Eev. Jacob Lindley and Eev. Janies Irvine, its first
president, as he is usually diesignated, wais not elected until 1824, when
Eobert G. Wilson, a native of North Carolina, and a. graduate of Dickinson
College, was chosen to fill the position,. His successor was the well known
Dr., William H. McGuffey. For a few years, dating from 1845, owing to
financial emibarrassments, the institution was closed, but in 1848 it Was ve-
opened under the presidency of Dr. Alfred Ryoirs. Dating from 1852, Dr.
Solom'on Hov^^ard was piresident foT twenty years, and wais succeeded bv
Dr. W. II. Scott. From 1883 to 1901, Dr. Charles W. Super was at the
head of the institution with the exception of two years, 1896-1898, when the
position was held by Dr. Isaac (h'ook. The term of the present incum-
bent began July 18, 1901.

MIAMI UNIVERSITY.
GEE AT in&titrujtionis grow. Tbey are not boim in a day. It is a
part and a privilege of an American to feel a pride in America's
historic foimdatioaas and inistitutions. In the docTLment unider
which the great northwest territory was settled, we read: "Religion,
morality amd laix)iwledge being ne(3eiS9ain^ to good governmeiut and the hap-
piness of mankind, schools and the mteans if eduoatioin shall forever be
encouraged." This sentenicie is the fonndatioin of the educaticmjal policy
of the states foirmed ont of this territory. The John Cleves Symmes pmr-
ehaise in sonthwestem Ohio,, like the oitiier grants made under this ordi-
n'ance, laid perm'anently the foundation for higher eduioaition. Out of this
lamd granlt grew Miiami Universiity. The trust was given to the Sffaate
of O'hio and accepted in 1803, and by means of legislative action bn'ildings
were erected and tlie schooil open'ed in 1816 as a prepa'rato^r^^ school, and in
1824, as a college. The first claiS'S was gradujated iin 1826. Under the
stimulus of the land grant, the spirit of the ordinance of 1787, thie C'O-
operation of the state amd the rapid settlement of Miami c'oujnty, the col-
lege iio'Urishied and soion became the most renoiwinied west of the Alle-
gheniies. The early settlers belierv^ing in the value of college education
sent their sons there. These yorung men latter becaime the men of afflairs
and took an active interest in every form of public life. During the war
of the rebellion, Miamji's graduates, almost tO' a man, were foiuind enlisted
or engaged in some form of piublic service. Many of these men are still
hard at work, so that it has been said that Miaimi hais more prominent mem
among her alumni than any other western ciollege. A strong American
sefntiment permeates the every vein of the Miiami stiudent or graduate.
Miami hais been pre-emiinently in her history, a college of piublic spirit.
The student catches the spirit of patriotic devotion to the public welfare
as a duty, and the graduate feels that he owes somiething to his country.
College spirit has always been identical with a high idea of citizenship.
Associated with this patriotic ideal, is the conviction that leaiders
should be men of ischolarship and sonnd chairacter. The management hais
never fait^^red in that belief thatacollege faculty should be men of unques-
tionable character and highest ability. The college education shows itself
in a patriotic citizenship, genuine manliness, sound sioholarship and liberal
culture. Under this ideal more than a thoiusand men have been graduated,
and mimy times that number have pursued their courses in part.
While Miami University is not owneid amd dperrafted by the State of
Ohio, in recent years favorable legisla:tive action has given Miami miore
vigorous life than ever before. One of the new buildings is the gift of

the late Senator Brioe, and bears his name. Another hears the name of
Hon. John W. Herron, of Cincinniati, whosie long and ahle services to the
University have only been equalled by his generosity.
The chapel in the easit wing of the main bnildiag has recently been
enlarged and improved, and, in memory of K'obert H. Bishop, Jr., for
many years Professor of Latin in the university, named "Bishop Chapel."
The library occnpies a part of the second floor of the main bnilding,
and consists of some 20,000 volumes, among which many rare old editions
miaybe found.
By the Seese Law, passed by the Legislature of Ohio in March, 190,2,
two State Normal Schools were established, one of these at Miami Uni-
versity. The larw provides for its maintenance by a special tax levy on the
grand list of the tax!able property of the ^tate.
In September, 1902, the Normal School was opened, and a large num-
ber of students enrolled.
Provision is being made for the erection of a dormitory for the ae-
comimodation of the young women.
In June, 1902, the Rev. Gruy Po'tter Benton was unianimously elected
president, and inaaigurated September, 1902.
The location is as healthful as can be found, and comprises fifty-
seven acres of the most beautiful campus to be found in the west.
Miami has never been a large institution when measured by her
numbers, nor has she ever aspired to be such, but she has been great when
measured by her men.

THE WILBEiEFOBCB UNIVERSITY.
THE Wilberforoe Univecrsity, located in Greene ooiinty, near Xenia,
Ohio, Ciannoit be ciocnjsidered one of the state eduicational institutions,
except that it has been receiving state assistance in establishing anid
maintaining an indnstirial department since 1887. The University is foi
colored youth, and affords an opportunity for extending industrial train-
ing to colored youth, such as is not foiund in o'ther institutions in the state.
The following brief historry of this institution is a m'aitter of historical
value :
On Septembeir 28, 1853, the Cincinnati Conference of the M. E.
Chnirch selected a ootmmittee wihich recommended "the establishment of a
literary institution of high order for the education of colored people gen-
erally;'^ and in May, 1856,,."Tiai\vawa Springs," a beautiful summer resort
in Greene county, Ohioi, was purchased, and Wilbeirfbrcie University was
organized. By oomcurrent action, the M. E. and the A. M. E. Coinferences
of Ohio entered into co-operation for the success of the University. It was
incorporated August 30, 1856, and a board of twenty-four trustees selected,
including Governor Salmon P. Chase^ President E. S. Pnst, Ashland Keith,
of the colordd Baptist demomination, and D. A. Payne ; and the broad prin-
ciple adopted that there shall never be any distinction among the trustees,
faculty or stiudents, on aecount of race, color or creed.
The University begalnl its work in October, 1856, under Rev. M. P.
Gaddis, as principal. He wais succeeded by Pirofessor James K. Parker,
and he by Dr. -Richard S. Rust, the first president. During the first epoch,
which terminated with the Civil War, the number of students, lairgely the
children of Southern planters, varied from seventy to ome hundred. Com-
mendable progress was made in literary culture. The War closed the
school, and the M. E. Church withdrew from the field.
On March 10, 1863, D. A. Payne purchased the property for $10,000,
and associated with himself James A. ShOirtdr and Professor John G.
Mitchell, in the re-organizing of the University. It is the oldest college
for negroes in this country. Congress in 1870 appropriatted $25,000 ; Chief
Justice Salmon P. Chase bequeathed $10,000; the Charles Avery estate
added $10,000, and the American Unitarian Association gave for lec-
tures $6,000 to the University.
On March 19, 1887, the Legislature of the State of Ohio came to
our aid, helping us in establishing a formal and Industrial Department,
ajnd is appropriating .now $17,000 per annum to the University. On Janu-
airy 9, 1894, President Cleveland detailed Lieutenant John H. Alexander,
a West Point graduate, to organize and instruct the Military Department

of Wilbexf oToe UnivOTsity, and the United States government is sitill main-
taining this department. At the brealdng ont of the Sipanish-Ameiricajn
War, Wilberf orce fuTnish^d sodne of the best negro soldiers that went to
the front, a number of whom aire fighting for the fiag in the Philippdnes
today.
The TJniversiity has received from all sources since organization
$513,202.80. Six thon'sand and six negro youths hiaive attended the Uni-
versity, most of them coming from the South. THvo hundired and sixty-six
have graduated from our literary •cou'r&es, and are now preaching and
teaching in the South, striving to help solve the race question. Two hun-
dred and ten have graduated from the Industrial Depairtment, and are
now engaged in the useful trades. It is the pride of the University that it
has always been the aim anid object to contribute her full share to the intel-
lectual, moral, physical, and inJdustrial uplift of the negro, and thereby
assist in removing the standing meniaoe to our American institutions — the
race problem.
