His was the first vessel seized for alleged violation of the revenue laws, and the riot that followed his resistance resulted in the occupation of Boston by the British troops. It is an odd coincidence that the first vessel seized for resistance to King Georges law should have borne the name of Liberty. He it was who conducted the deliberations of those who joined themselves in the organized taking up of arms against the mother country. Later his wonderful tact was taxed to the utmost by the continental congress to prevent quarrels. even the disruption of a body, drawn as it was from 13 separate little nations.

and bitterly jealous little nations to boot. The presidents who followed him were allowed a salary. Hancock paid all the expenses of the offices he filled. and they were many, from his private funds.

If we owed nothing else to John Hancock, he would still deserve our praise as the one man who, of alrothers, persuaded reluctant Massachusetts to adopt the constitution of the United States. a scheme of government bitterly combated then, but which stands, and shall stand. still upright, a mighty and enduring monolith amid the tumbled ruins of the statecraft of the Few know today that Hancock ever had a detractor. fewer yet have read the letters of Lam fewer yet know the identity of the man that lurked behind that pseudonym, but as long as the constitution of the United States dominates the law of Masachusetts, as long as the tolling of bells and the thunder of cannon remind us of the little band that stood up, feeble but unterrified, against the might of England. so long shall men remember the service of Zohn It is fitting that his last resting place should not lie far distant from the grave of Samuel Adams.

"Lovely and pleasant in their lives, in their death they are not divided." The career of these two men, so utterly dissimilar, yet so utterly one. is yet 'lesson and an inspiration to the people when the demagogue to further his own ends sets class against class and section against section, striking against the foundation of the American republic as he struck only too successfully against the glorious promise of France century ago. and the glorious performances of Greece in the distant days when America existed for the world but in the dreams of Plato. The poor politician and the rich merchant's heir, the slack man of business and the man of large affairs. the man of simple habits and the lover of luxury, the man who was supported by the salary of public offiee and the man who supported public office by the gift of his private funds, alike in their devotion to their country and in their readiness to risk fortune and life in her service, Samuel Adams and John Hancock, in those two contrasting lives so strangely and beautifully intertwined, have left an enduring monument of true Americanism, of that divine democracy foretold by the great monarch of Israel: "The rich and the poor meet together, the Lord is the maker of them all." When the exercises were over, the invited guests and others once more viewed.

Unknown Being Brings Terror to Ali. Visits Homes of Warren People for Ni ilitly Ladling. When Chased.

Stands at Bay With Drawn Revolver. Conceals His Face With Large Slouch Hat Some Think He May be Missing Cooper Spencer. PROVIDENCE, Sept 9People in the northern portion of the town of Warren, 10 miles down the eastern shore of Narragansett bay, are terrorized over an alleged wild man who has been roaming about that end of Bristol county for almost a week. A few days ago something of an organized effort was made to capture the mysterious visitor, but he eludes every One and keeps well under cover whenever any one attempts to approach him. Each night the man finds a new lodging place, sometimes in a barn, then in an unoccupied house, and once or twice he has lodged in hammocks on the piazzas of wealthy summer residents.

A night or two ago the mysterious men entered the empty dwelling house of farmer Clark, close to the Barrington line. During the night and early morning he evidently went crazy. for he smashed out the windows with a club of cord wood, nd later paraded up and clown in front of the houseswith a pole over his shoulder in true mtlitary style. as if acting as sentinel over the place. He was seen by milkmen Lewis and Barney wElle on their way to town and they went over a stone wall toward the strangely acting man.

He warned the milkmen off, and finally, when they persisted in knowing what his business was at the unoccupied house, the stranger rulled a reN (liver and said he Wild soon show tl em. The milkmen quietly withdrew, but they obtained a good descripticm of him. and report him as not by any means of the ordinary tramp order. They ay he was nicely dressed, wore a white shirt, and dark cravat, and looked very much like a man accustomed to toil. While the milkmen were watching the strange individual he shifted his hat twice and just before they left pulled a large slouch hat such as the bicyclists wear down over his face.

After this performance he took a second revolver from his outside Pocket, the weapon evidently being kept close at hand. The stranger shows no disposition to leave the vicinity, and he appears to subsist upon fruit and vegetables, which are very plentiful in the locality. Several persons who have reported the matter to the authorities say the man Is about 40 years of age, and that he has a fresh stubby growth of beard of about 10 days' accumulation. At the Clark farmhouse the Intruder hurled numerous articles from the windows and left them where they fell on the walks and lawn about the place. Some of the people in northern Warren are so much alarmed that they remain up nights on the watch, fearing that the man will attempt to enter or set fire to their houses.

An organized effort will be made at once to arrest the armed stranger and ascertain his identity. It was thought by some of the friends of Cooper Spencer, the missing Elmwood man. that the Warren police might find that he and the stranger were identical. Cooper has been gone long enough to have a growth of beard, and he was well dressed and wore nice He is also in the 40s and not so very tall. A very singular description was given out by Mrs Spencer, the lonely wife.

She saws her husband has a mustache, one side of which is black and the other side white, and that one eye is blue aml the other brown. The difference. she declares, was caused by a piece of steel entering the eye some years ago and destroying the nerves on that side of the face. BEARD MR ATWOOD. Dorchester Republican Club Holds a Public Meeting.

Last evening the ward 24 republican club held a public meeting at 633 Washington st, Dorchester. The assembly was called to order by Mr H. A. Stevens, secretary. Letters of regret were first read from Otts Eddy, Samuel J.

Barrows and. J. B. L. Barttette.

after which Mr Jordan one of the candidates for the house of representatives from this section was introduced. Congressman Harrison H. Atwood, who put in an appearance at the hall early in the evening, was the next speaker, and as he proceed.ed to the platform he received a most oral expression of welcome. Mr Atwood spoke very interestingly for a half hour or more, and in the course of his remarks spoke of the declared principles of the democratic and republican parties as set forth in the two platforms. The tariff and the currency question were also dwelt upon.

Mr Henry B. Blackwell, one of the candidates for the legislature from this ward, addressed the meeting. The speaker explained that the silver Issue which is occupying the attention of the country today has for some few years past been carefully worked up, particularly in the west, by the silver mine owners. and that large sums of money have been spent to this end by them. Just previous to concluding Mr Blackwell intimated that he is afraid that of the republicans and republican newspapers are a little too sanguine as to the result of this campaign, and fail to realize the great strength of the south and west, and in which sections silver has such a foothold.

The other speakers were Alderman Folsom, E. B. Callender, Herbert M. Manks and Franklin L. Codman.

Talbot. who, by the way, gave the name of John Taylor, finally weakened and admitted that he might be a thief. but he insisted that he had done nothing in this town for which he could be held.

Clerk Barry took a good look at the man and became satisfied that he had seen his face somewhere before. He then began looking over a lot of photographs that he had received recently from New Yorktand in a few minutes he ran across an exeMlikeness of the man who stood in frotit'Vf him. One by one all the marks were found. They consisted of an indistinct In India ink on the inside of his right arm. An indistinct ink cross is on the outside of the right forearm, two scars behind the right ear, scar on the left side of the chin, scar over the right eyebrow.

He has no upper front teeth, a low forehead. and several of his lower teeth are missing. With all these marks found, identification was assured, and then Talbot threw up both 'hands and admitted that he was the notorious safe burglar, but would say nothing more about himself. He is about 35 years old, of stout build and rather short, being but 5 feet 4,4 Inches tall. The picture by which he was identified was taken in New York on Feb 18 last.

but although it was a good likeness. the Boston officials decided that they would have one of their own taken, so he was once again photographed. He was then locked up and the Boston officers are carrying on a pretty close investigation in regard to Talbot beside hunting high and low for his "pal," who is thought to have been either Kelly or Kurtz. both. professional safe blowers.

The records say that he is a famous New York safe and house burgklar, and that he has spent the largest portion of his life in penitentiaries and state prisons. In 1879 he and "Clark le" Carpenter, the wife murderer. now dead. burglariously entered a store in New York and fired three shots at the proprietor, who pursued them. They were caught an were sentenced to two years in Sing Sing.

In 1883 Talbot snd Patsey Carroll cut through the floor of a costume parlors. and got away with 610,000 worth of property. For that the pair got four years each in Sing Sing. After they were released for that crime they cut through the walls of a dry goods store on Fulton et. Brooklyn, blew the door of the safe off with gunpowder and carried away $600.

They were caught a few days afterward in New York and were taken to Brooklyn. Talbot made his escape through a skylight from the anteroom of the court. During carniVal time in Montreal he and a western thief broke into a diamond store in that city and while their companions- eldthe propritor in the doorway with a pistol at his head. they made good their escape with $8000 worth of diamonds. His last big exploit was in Philadelphia, a niroiber of years ago.

He and others effected an entrance to an unoccupied building on Front at. and after climbing over the roofs of several adjoining buildings. they entered the office and warehouse of a large produce dealer at 134 South Front st. They drilled the safe and got 6400 in money and securities valw-d at $315,000. When he was recaptured for the Brooklyn job, these securities were found in his possession.

He was delivered to the Brooklyn authorities, and on April 6, 1887, he was convicted at Brooklyn. and was sentenced to 10 years in state prison. He was discharged in the fall of 1894, and was never tried for the Philadelphia job Inspectoz Michael Morrissey was working with Inspector Cogen, and shared In the honors of the capture.

She lived on Tyler St. and her estate amounts to about $10,000. The petition for the allowance of her will represents that she had no relatives nor next of kin, but an appearance was entered by E.

through Its official representatives. today honored the memory of John Hancock. the first governor of the commonwealth. by the unveiling over hts grave in the old Granary burying ground. of a.

noble memorial which for all future time, will stand as an enduring monument expressing the gratitude of a great state to one of her first and most illustrious Belated though the memorial is, coming lal years after Hancock's death, it it is none the less a sincere tribute to Ms memory and his greatness and speaks alike the love and admiration of the white and colored people of the state. for to the latter he was Indeed a friend. It was in fact through the efforts of a colored representative in the legislature, Robert T. Teamoh. that the memorial fund was raised and the shaft built.

For years al ithat had marked the resting place of Hancock was the inwription on the copper box in the Hancock tomb which contained his remains, until two years ago when the Sons of the Revolution decorated the slab with a metal piece. Out of this act grew the thought that the commonwealth. for which Hancock had done so much. should also place there some token of Its appreciation and regard for the hero long since passed away. The matter was frequently discussed.

but no action was taken until the legislative session of laat. when Representative Teamoh introduced in the house a resclve asking that the state appropriate sufficient money for the erection of a suitable memorial. The resolve passed both branches and was among the first resolves signed by GOV Green-beige in that year. The matter was then referred to a committee of the executive council. of which lAeut Gov Wolcott was chairman.

The following winter this committee called upon several architects to submit designs for the proposed shaft. A number were snbmitted. and the selection was made. at the instance of Mr McKim of New York. the design selected being that of Mr J.

A. Schweinfurth of Work upon the shaft was rhortly begun. and today with appropriate ceremonies it was unveiled. The shaft is copied front the old Athenian idea of funeral monuments of 2000 years age. The statoe Is made In three parts.

The base Is a block of pink granite, quarried in Milford. This is six feet square and eight inches thick. It is set directly over the brick vault and leaden casket. where rest all that is mortal of John Hancock. An 1S-foot shaft of Tennessee marble rises from this base.

A beautiful bas-relief of Hancock. slightly larger than life size. ornaments this shaft. It was copied. after Copley's celebrated painting, now.in possesion of descendants in Brokline.

The relief is surrounded by an oak leaf wreath. under which are the words In letters of Latin antique: 'This memorial erected A 1S96 by the commonwealth of Slasachusetts to mark the grave of John Hancock." A somple cyma molding with a broad fillet surmounts the top of the wreath. The cap is profusely ornamented. It bears the Hancock coat-of-arms in bas-relief. The family motto, "Principlis testa" (resist in the beginning), is also displayed an eloquent reminder of those stanch principles which made Hancock the great leader that he was.

Owing to the continual drizzling rain. the ceremonies of unveiling. which were very simple, yet impressive. took place In the Perk st church near by. About 700 invitations had been Issued.

and considering the weather. the unveilinr exereises were very well attended. Lieut Gov Wolcott and many of the members of the executive committee were present. and together with the Invited guests, assembled at the Hancock tomb in the burying ground to participate in the brief ceremony of unveiling the shaft, which took place at 2 o'clock. just prior to the exercises in the church.

The shaft was unveiled by Miss Mare' Elizabeth Lowell Hancock Wood. a direct descendant of the old revolutionary hero. Her grandfather being the nephew and heir of Gov Hancock. The exercises at the church. which fo'dowed immediately.

were short. but impressive. Occupying seats on the platform were Acting Gov Wolcott, Curtis Guild and Hons C. E. Stevens.

F. H. Raymond and B. S. Lowell, the sub committee of the council which arranged the program.

The exercises opened with a fervent Prayer by Rev E. A. Horton. Acting Gov Wolcott then arose, and told of the movement for the erection cf a memorial to John Hancock. paying a high tribute to Mr Robert Teamoh.

who Introduced the resolve into the legislature in IS94. He then introduced the architect who designed the shaft. and who. in a brief speech. presented It to the state.

GOV Wolcott accepted the gift on be-Ian' of the state. Continuing. he spoke feeliegly of the life and services of and of the accomplishments for watch the world weuld remember him. Quoting Senator he said Hancock wrote his name where all nations could behold it and where all time might tot efface it. In conciesion.

he said that Ilancock's grave would be one of those spots to which the feet of pilgrims would be diretted, and the shaft over it would Walt eloquently for years to come of loYel service to the commonwealth.

Before the ward offices were opened it was noticeable the large number of republicans in comparison with democrats who were registering at the old court house.

JOHN HANCOCK Unveiled in the Old Granary the 'West Indies in execution of the bill of rights of Massachusetts, which at the outset of our national existence recognized that no republic could endure half slave, half free. Though singled out with Samuel Adams as the only two rebels to royal rule whose contumacy was beyond the hope of pardon. no statue of Hancock has yet been reared by those who followed him to freedom; though major-general of the Massachusetts forces. no loving sons of his comrades strew his grave with flowers; though chief magistrate of state and nation, no biography has yet been written of the man whop at the morning of the American revolution, was so admittedly its chief that the tories In parliament commonly styled the uprisen inhabitants of the 13 colonies not the American rebels, but "Hancock and his crew." He who would study the career of Hancock must glean it piecemeal from the brief notices of the encyclopedias, the pages of general history and the biographies of other men. No statesman in American history ever assumed a greater variety of public duties.

He was selectman for the town of Boston, representative to ths provincial assembly, speaker of the provincial assembly. member of the executive council. president of the provincial congress, president of the provincial committee of safety, president of the continental congress, and finally governor of the commonwealth of Massachusetts. first for a term of five years and again after an interim of two years. till death, not a hostile majority, at last removed him from the office.

Hancock did not enjoy so much honor at the hands of his countrymen without the persecution, ridicule, detraction and abuse that was and is loaded upon every man that enters public life, no matter how high his motives. The bitter jest of our great congressional leader. "A statesman is a politician who is dead, was true then as it is today. Deal. John Hancock was venerated as a statesman; living, he was proscribed as a politician.

His fondness for spending in liberal hospitality that share of his private income that was not given to public use was a constant theme of abuse and ridicule. Yet had it not been for the tactful and even diffuse dispensation of that very hospitality, the French admiral. enraged by the treatment of Sullivan and later by the thoughtless mob of Boston, would have sailed away without even making a demonstration for American freedom. This son of Boston, who among all the New England leadcrs was noted as the one who had the most at stake in theconteet, was accused even by friends of the revolution not only of insincerity, but of corruption. Utterly nable to ROBERT 1 TEAMORE.

deny his services to his country, his detractors sought to deprecate them by the claim that the services were valueless, because instigated not so much by love of country as by leve of the approbation of his countrymen. a distinction as contemptible as it was puerile. pessimists in American politics would do well to read the pamphlets of Hancock 's day. The smallest of modern political scribblers would scarcely dare to rival the bitter attacks of Stephen Higginson who. not in his own name.

but over the signature of Lac, assailed the man who. in the cause of freedpm. had courted the risk not only of death, but of the death of a felon. John Hancock's signature of the declaration of independence as president of the continental congresa is described by this critical patriot as a mere official act without any responsibility. sucn as the most timid man in Hancock's situation would not have hesitated to perform.

Samuel Adams himself, by mere association with such a man as Hancock, was solemnly warned by this censor of the last century that he had cast an indelible stain over his former reputation. Viewed at the end of a century, such criticism of Hancock and Adams is amusing, though its tone is not absolutely unfamiliar. it is worth reviving if but for the purpose of remembering how thoroughly it Is forgotten. The reputation that endures is after all built by the man himself. not by censorious critics.

The svorld's verdict. if slow and long disputed. is apt in the end to be not merely just but generous. Hancock was vain and fond of applause. Though most certainly not a dissipated man, he was fond of good living.

and lived well. His chief offense apparently was his fine table. line clothes, line house and tine horse. In respect to the wilder pleasures of life he erred if at all on the side of repression. Almost the last act of his life was the closing of a pitiful little theater that had been started in Boston in defiance of the then unrepealed old purlta nica I law.
