PREFACE
"There's nothing new under the sun.*" — except in the Legislature. Every
year sees new men. new ideas and new subjects of legislation. During
the experience of the editor of this Souvenir as a Legislative reporter,
there has been a great change in the subjects of legislation. For instance,
every particle of legislation regarding electricity is new within that
period, which covers the span of a generation. The sessions in 1874
consumed more hours, and a great deal more time was spent in genuine
"debates," as that was before the day of "fixing" legislation by "corridor
agreement." On an average probably twice the time was then spent
upon each topic. But that was before the newspapers "anticipated" every
act and before final results were seen from afar. There were no labor
troubles in those days, no gypsy moths, etc. Each Legislature, strange) as
it may seem, is "sui generis.*' The •'feature" of that of 1908 was the
"railroad control" legislation, "so-caTed," which took months of hard work
and valuable time, but which was finally kicked out of the House by the
back alley of dusty and overwhelming defeat in such battered condition
that even its own parents refused to recognize it while none wept at
its departure. Thus fickle are "the powers that be." — some times. The
session was a'so remarkable in that the Lieutenant Governor was called
upon to act as Governor during its most strenuous days, for months,
owing to tin' illness of the chief executive. Such a thing had not been
known within the memory of man. The House was also remarkable for
Inning two active candidates for Lieutenant Governor, and remarkable, in
a way. for having no "investigation" forced upon it. As a whole, it was
a. body of more than average ability and independence, doing honestly and
thoroughly the work sent to it by the people. It killed more measures
than it passed.

DORIC HALL.
This hall has seen varied gathe-ines, bu<- none of greater interest than that
of April 17, 1 86 1. On that cby, the first volunteer company of the whole country,
during the late War of the Rebellion, assembled here, chose its officers, received
overcoats from the government and in an hour and a half from the time of assem-
bling was on its way to the front. The story, in more detail, is as follows : In
Cambridge, in i860, had been formed a company of "Wide Awakes" to help elect
President Lincoln. Hon. J. M. S. Williams, congressman from that district,
promised them that if tht-y would keep up their organization they could go to
Washington to see Lincoln inaugurated. But the United States government for-
bade the assembling of such bodies at the national capital. During the dark days
of February, 1861, several of the company agreed to volunteer if they were
needed, and, on the 14th of February, several of them signed an agreement to
that effect. First on the list was the name of John Kinnear, now first clerk of
Sergeant-at Arms. In the first week in March, he, with a few others, visited
the State House and personally tendered their services to Governor Andrew. He
advised them that there was no immediate need of their services and that they
return to Cambridge, whence he would summon them if necessary. Then came
the news of the breaking out of rebellioo. They at once visited the State House,
finding Governor and Council in session. Governor Andrew told them to return
to Cambridge and that they would receive orders in an hour. They returned and
the crder? speedily reached them. Then, again, they hastened to the State
House, many of their members leaving their work and throwing their tools into
the stieet. Reaching the State House, they assembled in Doric Hall, ninety-
seven of them. In a small adjoining room they chose officers, electing James
Prentice Richardson, now of Texas, as captain. They first went to the Old
Colony station, but were soon ordered to the "S. R. Spaulding," where they
embarked for Fortress Monroe, They were first assigned to the Fifth regiment,
but were soon transferred to the Third, becoming Company C. This was, with
out doubt, the first volunteer company of the Rebellion. It is a matter of history
that this prompt, loyal and general resDonse of this company, in contrast with the
scattering returns from more pretentious organizations, did much to encourage
the State authorities and "the great war Governor."
In ihis hall lay in state the body of Charles Sumner, Sunday, March 15, 1874,
where it was viewed by a multitude as vast as time would allow.
In this hall gathered the "Army of the Unemployed," February 20, 1894,
whence they were removed by detachments of the district and Boston police, but
without violence. They had just been addressed on the Capitol steps by
Governor Greenhalge.
This view is taken from the main entrance and shows the statues of Wash-
ington and Jchn A. Andrew in the distance.

THE OLD SOUTH MEETING-HOUSE.
Bant in 1730 on the lot of Gov. John Winthrop, corner of Milk and Washington streets, and
dedicated in April of the same year. On November 27, 1773- heie was held the meetlnS a*W*"ch "
was resolved that the English tea should not be landed; and on December 16 here was held toe
meeting with 7,000 people attending, before the pouring of the tea into Boston harbor by the Sons of
Liberty,' disguised as Mohawk Indians. Here Warren spoke in March, i775- three months before he
was killed at the battle of Bunker Hill. In the siege of Boston it was used as a riding-school by the
British. Its external appearance has not been changed for 150 years. No religious services have been
held here s.nce 1872. Now occupied by a loan collection of Revolutionary and other relics, the
admission fees going to the preservation fund.
— 117 —
FANEUIL HALL, DOCK SQUARE.
Built in 1763; dedicated, March 14, and completed the same month, on thj
site of an earlier one built in 1 742 and burned on Jan. 13, 1 761 . Enlarged in 1 805
to its present proportions. Rebuilt largely in 1899. The upper hall is the armory
of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. Called also " The Cradle of
Liberty."
— 118 —
DANIEL WEBSTER.
As one of the foremost, "Legislators" of Massachusetts (for he was once a
member of the Massachusetts Senate) it is eminently proper to place here, close
beside the "Old State House," this rare but peculiarly interesting picture of
Daniel Webster beneath his favorite tree at his New Hampshire home.
— 119 —
THE OLD STATE HOUSE.
Built in 1748, on site of burned town hall, at the head of State Street Boston.
In the foreground occurred the Boston Massacre of March 5, 1770. Been used as State House
City Hall, and Post Office. British troops quartered here, 1768, and General Gage held council of
war here before battle of Bunker Hill. Declaration of Independence read from balcony in view ; from
other end Washington reviewed procession in 1789. Here State Constitution planned and ratified
