In the iii.iny years he has l'>>>■' tccil to fulfil. Nlr. Kansehousen is an e.\pert in the voluminous intricarit s of life insurance, the merits and demerits of any |)olicy l)ci.i- apparent to the least informed, under his exposition. I In policy chiefly promulgated by his company is the eiuliiwiiu mi lorm which, accordintj to the law of this state, liccomcs 11 >.i forfeitable alter two annual premiums have been paid. A iii.ia at the age of tweuty-ci^;llI takiim out a$i,ix«.i, twenty paymc ,1. policy endowment age si.\ty, would pay an aiiiiiial premium 1 $34.90, and at the end of twenty years would have paid m $698. .Should he then desire to surrender his policy f. company would allow him $053.37, his insurance thus . : him only $44.73 for the entire period. This, howevci. 1 no allowance lor the annual dividend paid. The cash dii ; on this policy in 1894 was $379. In other words, at the ctic. 1 twenty years the amount returned, added to the > ash dividcinl-.. paid annually, would niore than cover what had been paid 1.. The insurance thus becomes absolutely Kt:il>-'<, the coinpai.y payinji the beneficiary a bonus tor the privilege of insurin ; him. Mr. Kansehousen would be pleased to explain to anyoi.c contemplating the purchase of a policy, the advantages often I by his company. It is a matter worthy of mention that tl State Mutual has upon its books the names of more Massachii setts policy holders than any other Massachusetts company and has been in business fifty years, its conservative methods of investing its funds being the keynote of its succcs.s. Mr. Kansehousen served three years in the Second U.S. infantry, rck:iilais. enlisting in ift'-'.. and scrvinK till 1869. In December of that year was elected second lieutenant of Company K, Second M. V. M. He wa» also a member of the Pcabody Guards. Recently the captaincy of the new militia company was tendered him, but the engrossing press of business caused him to decline the honor. On the rolls of the Masonic and Odd Fellow memberships Mr. Kansehousen's name has long been inicribed. He is a member of Springfield Commandery, Knights Templar and of Hampden lodge of (Wd Fellows." Mr. Kansehousen's office is in Chicopee Bank building, corner Court Square. WINE, ART t^ PflRL£R5. Are a point of interest to visitors in SPRINGFIELD.

R. « OFFICIAL SOUVENIR ® W. R. C. THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. T-*HK Nalional Association oi federal Veterans of the rebellion, dates from March, 1866. The primarj" meeting being held in Springfield, 111. The man who conceived the }»r^"d idea of a brother- hood of soldiers was Major Benjamin K. Steph- enson of Illinois. With his tent mate. Chaplain Riitledge oi his regiment, he often talked, in bivouac and march, of the desirability of some fornt of associa- tion that would pre.serve the friendships of .soldiers so closely allied in the fellowship oi suffering, when they were mustered out of service. The idea, with its possibilities of good, so mastered them, that they agreed that if spared they would together work out some project. They met at the time and place above mentioned, calling in conference prominent soldiers, and drew up a ritual and decided on the name. The first post was organized at Decatur, April 6, by Major Stephenson, who had been made commander of the department of Illinois. The purposes of the Grand .Army are well-voiced in the Declaration of Principles in the constitution, originally written by .Adjutant General Robert M. Woods, and slightly amended at subsequent conven- tions. ARTICLE I. Section 1. The .soldiers of the Volunteer Army of the United States during the Rebellion of 1861-5, actuated by the impulses and convictions of patriotism and of eternal right, and combined in the strong bands of fellowship and unity by the toils, the dangers and the victories of a long and vigorously waged war, felt themselves called upon to declare in definite form of words and in determined co-operative action, those principles and rules which .shall guide the earnest patriot, the enlightened freeman, and the Christian citizen in his course of action; and to agree upon those plans and laws which should govern them in a united and systematic working method with which, in some measure, shall be affected the preservation of the grand results of the war, the fruits of their labor and toil, so as to benefit the deserving and worthy. Sec. 2. The results which are designed to be accomplished by this organization are as follows: ist. The preservation of those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together, with the strong cords of love and affection, the comrades in arms of many battles, seiges and marches. 2nd. To make the.se ties available in works and results of kindness, of favor and material aid to those in need of as.si.stance. 3d. To make provision, where it is not already done, for the support, care and maintenance of the widows of deceased soldiers and sailors. 4th. For the protection and assistance of disabled .soldiers and sailors, whether disabled by wounds, sickness, old age or misfortune. 5th. For the establishment and defense of the late soldiery of the United States, morally, .socially and politically, with a view to inculcate a proper appreciation of their .services to the country, and to a recognition of such services and claims by the Ameri- can [)cople. 6lh. The maintenance of true allegiance to the United States of .America, based upon paramount respect for, and fidelity to the national constitution and laws, manifested by the discountenancing of whatever may tend to weaken loyalty, incite 10 insur- rection, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions, together with a defen.se of universal liberty, equal rights, and justice to all men." The organization of Grand .Army Posts now spread rapidly, in spite of the jealousy and criticism that attacks every new organization. By October depart- ments had been formed in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota, and posts in Ohio, Missouri, Kentucky, .Arkansas, District of Columbia, Massachu- setts and Pennsylvania. The first National Convention wa.s held at Indianapolis, Nov. 20, with 228 delegates from eleven states, and General Stephen A. Hnrlbut was made Commander-in-chief, and Major Stephenson Adjutant-General. Details for the harmonious organization of posts were perfected. The exciting political campaign of 1867-68, when General Grant was put forward for president against President Johnson, threatened the existence of the Grand .Army, as an attempt was made to involve it in politics as an organization. This led to an amend- ment to the constitution, to correct the popular suspicion that it was a secret political society, as follows : " That while it is the purpose of the Grand Army to secure the rights of these defenders of their country by all moral, social and political means in our control, yet this association does not design to make nomina- tions for office, or to use its influence as a .secret organization for partisan purposes." This freed the Grand Army from official identifi- cation with the various veteran political societies like the " Boys in Blue," " Soldiers' and Sailors' Leagues," " White Boys in Blue," " Con.servative Army and Navy Union," " Colored Soldiers' League" and other local clubs that politicians, veterans and others had fostered, often for personal advantage, and whose action was imputed to the brotherhood. The formation of posts went steadily on, but it was not for nearly a decade after the war, that veterans generally realized the benefits of belonging to such an organization. The Grand Army badge in its present symmetrical and eloquent design was a matter of slow evolution, not being perfected until 1886. For years the metal in these badges has been produced from remelted cannons. Of the work in detail of the Grand Army, its achievements by organized effort for the betterment of the condition of the soldiers, there is not room to tell in many times this space. Under Commander Logan, Memorial Day was established, and has since become a legal holiday in many of the states, through the brotherhood's efforts Soldier's Homes have been established in many of the states, and a National home at Leavenworth, Kansas: soldiers' monuments erected and historic battlefields marked; pension and other legislation for veterans secured; lost flags and records regained and preserved; and, most valuable of all, unfortunate and disabled soldiers, and the widows and orphans of soldiers helped and provided for, a work in which in latter years the Grand .Army h.is been ably seconded by the Woman's Relief Corps. The campfires of the Grand -Army now burn from ocean to ocean with more than 350,000 enrolled on the list. But its membership has reached its maximum, death is fast thinning its ranks, and ere many years the grand brotherhood of soldiers of the Rebellion will be but a name; yet for all time shall the prints of its work endure. ~Z^ G.

CMa«iTStT, (•|)posworth Relief Corps, auxiliary to Bosworth Post of that city, which is still in existence. The first State organization of these societies was perfected at Fitchburg, Mass., in April, 1879, under the title, Woman's Relief Corps. Propositions had been made in G. A. R. National Encampments to en- courage the formation of these societies, but nothing practical was done till 1 88 1 , when Chaijlain-in-Chief Lovering urged upon the National Encampment the duty of giving them official recog- nition. A resolution was then adopted approving the work of the Woman's Relief Corps, and they were author- ized to add to their title "Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic." In 1883 Commander-in-Chief Van Der Voort invited all existing Ladies' Auxiliaries to send representatives to Denver at the time of the National Encampment, and such a meeting was held there, Mrs. E. Florence Barker, President of the Woman's Relief Corps of Massachusetts, ])residing. It was voted to establish a National or- ganization, the Massachusetts plan of enlisting the services of all loyal women, as well as the kin of veterans, being adopted. The objects of the Association are : "To specially aid and assist the Grand Army of the Republic and to perpetuate the memory of their heroic dead. To assist such Union veterans as need oju: help and protec- tion, and to extend needful aid to their widows and orphans. To find them homes and em])loyment, and assure them of sym- |)athy and friends. To cherish and emulate the deeds of our army nurses, and of all loyal women who rendered loving service to their country in her hour of peril. To incul- cate lessons of patriotism and love of country among our children, and in the communities in which we live. To maintain true alle- giance to the United .States of America. To discountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, and to encourage the spread of uni- versal liberty and equal rights to all men." The jilan of organization of the (irand Army was followed, local asso- ciations to be called Corps, and State Association Departments. The growth was rapid, in 1884 155 corps and 10,085 members, disbursing $1,154 for relief ; in 1888 there were 1,717 corps with 63,214 members, and $73,289 , disbursed for relief, and the growth since has been steady. But the work of the \\'oman's Relief Corps and its value to the G. A. R. cannot be estimated in figures. The cheering visits to the homes of the afflicted, the hours spent by the bedside of sick and dying Veterans, and their loving help to Veterans' widows and orphans can- not be estimated in words.

Fed by dissolving ice and snows, The full Sangamon river flows; With many a curve and current free. It hastes impetuous, to the sea. On sloping banks, the cowslip'.s gold Doth oft in April cheer unfold; And all the fringes of the stream With deep'ning verdure, dip and gleam. Thither, l)eside the sparkling wave, We seek, in thought, an humble grave, And our poor offerings shall be The immortelles of memory. To him, whose name we bless, this hour. Was given a rare prophetic power; He wisely planned in generous mood. The strong and loyal brotherhood. In which the Veterans of our land Stand, " heart to heart, and hand to hand." He kindled first the flames divine Which now in countless Campfires shine; His voice first sounded the keynote Of that grand hymn, which, winged, doth float With message sweet from sea to sea — The music of Fraternity I After life's struggle bravely borne, Midway he faltered, weary, worn. And many sjjringtime suns have shed Their radiniicc fi'er that lowly bed; 'llie marl)le shaft, the column high. His deeds may blazon to the sky. But history his name enshrines On pages fair, in glowing lines. And thousands gratefully commend Their benefactor, comrade, friend ! O generous soul ! O spirit brave ! Thou art not fettered by the grave ! In thought to-day, we strew for thee The immortelles of memory ! 50 ('.. A. K OFFICIAL SOUVImNIK FOR THi: BUST RLPOklS Ol 11 11: n.

IN the Spring of 1636 the little band of set- tlers who formed the nucleus for the present city of 50,000 inhabitants, attracted by the low rate of taxation, and the toothsome Connecticut river shad, made a settlement on the banks of the river. The Boston settle- ment got ahead of us five years, but this would not have happened save for the uncer- tainty of trains at that time. For a consideration, much less than the land is held for now, two of the " ancient Indians of the Agawam," representing eleven other Indians, who claimed to be proprietors, conveyed to William Pynchon, Henry Smith, and Jehu Burr, their associates and heirs for- ever, a large tract of land on both sides of the river, including a greater part of the land now occupied by Springfield and West Spring- field. By 1637 they had settled their first minister, Rev. George Moxon, and in 1639 built them a meeting-house, that stood on Court Square, near the site of the present First Church. The growth of Springfield was not at first very rapid, but soon its advantages became known, owing to judicious advertising, and settlers settled rapidly, early and late. In those days a man thought nothing of get- ting up at 3 A. M. to settle. In the year 1647 the General Court made very large additions to the territory of Spring- field, so that it included Westfield, Suffield, a considerable part of South wick, the whole of West Springfield, Holyoke and Agawam, on the west side of the river, and the present Springfield, Chicopee, Enfield, Somers, Wil- braham, Ludlow, Longmeadow, and Hamp- den on the east side. These towns were later set apart, and are conducting their own busi- ness, but should not forget that they were once part of the old stand. The Indians were friendly till 1675, when the King Phillip war broke out, and for many a weary month an occupation that had to be allowed for in the day's duties was plucking Indian arrows from the raiment and anatomy; but between these diversions the people still found time to plant corn and early settlers' potatoes. During the French and Indian wais, from 1744 to 1760, in which new England bore so prominent a part, Springfield lost many citizens who went as soldiers and were killed. In the revolutionary war Springfield was a recruiting post, and a depot for recruiting stores. Works for repairing arms were carried on, which led to the establishment of the National Armory. In i8t2 the southerly part of llie old county was made into a new county, named HamjKlen, and Springfield was made the shire town. 'Ihc necessary court house was erected in 1 82 1. October i, 1839, the Western rail- road was opened to travel from Worcester to .Springfield. By 1850 the population of the town had increased so that it was proposed to incorpo- rate the town as a city, and two years later the charter was granted, the city lieing incorpo- rated April 12, 1852. The war spirit in Springfield during the rebellion, was if anything, more active than in other cities. Being the headquarters of the arms supplies, the people felt the pulse of war palpably. Companies for several regiments were raised here, and the loth, 27th and 46th Massachusetts were encamped here be- fore going to the seat of war. Survivors of local companies hold clambake reunions every summer, that are famous in this part of the state. So long as these clambakes continue there will he survivors. Springfield had at the last census in 1890 44,179 inhabitants; so it is safe to say that the population is now over 50,000, for it had been growing at the rate of 1200 or 1300 a year previous to that year. Springfield is called the "City of Homes," and the thousands of prospering occupants of those homes are proud of it as one of the handsomest and best conducted cities in the country. Its beautiful sites for houses, and superior schools draw many families here from distant points to make their homes, and new houses are building steadily. Owing to its diversified industries the city has suffered less from financial depression than most cities. The city has 44 schools, public and pri- vate, besides the International Y. M. C. A. Training School, the School for Christian Workers, and the French Protestant College; 38 churches and one Jewish Synagogue; many religious and benevolent organizations and temperance societies; over 40 lodges of secret societies; and a dozen social clubs. The Electric Street Car system is consid- ered the best one in the country, and is fre- quently inspected by committees from cities near and far looking for a model. In points of expense of living, Springfield is a desirable city. The tax-rate is about $12 per $1,000, the lowest in the state; gas is supplied at $1.40 per thousand feet, and the Electric Light Company has given the city lower rates than obtainable elsewhere. The City Water service supplies good drinkable water all the year around from high and low service reservoirs, having a storage capacity of 2,305,000,000 gallons. The merchants are alive and awake, and their competition and the abundant transporta- tion facilities give our citizens their provisions, coal and other goods at lowest market rates. The city is on the line of the Boston & All)any railroad, is northern terminus of the New Vork, New Haven & Hartford, and New York & England railroads and southern terminus of the Boston & Maine, Connecticut River branch. It is a point easy to reach, and visitors are reminded that it is worth a visit in sunmicr to see it at its best. 54 G. A. R. « OFII('l\ THE PTNCHON Nj\TIoi^al Bank SPRlNCKll'.I.l), MASS. Edward I'.

The City Hall, built in 1854-55. Corner stone laid July 4, 1854; hall dedicatedjan. i, 1856, (address bein;^ made by the late Dr. J. G. Holland). This hall has a seating capacity of 2500, and all the city's famous meetings, conventions and fairs (includ- ing the great Soldiers' Fair of 1864,) have been held here. The Hampden County Court House, on Elm Street, built in 1871-74, of Monson granite, at a cost of $290,000, and furnished at a cost of $15,000. Dedi- cated April 28, 1874. The First Church, or First Parish Church, or by its full incorporated title "The First Church of Cnrist." The present building was erected in 1819, succeeding three successive edifices, each a little larger than the preceding, that stood close to the same site. The first was built in 1637, the second in 1677 and the third in 1752. But the fourth still remains the First. The present pastor is Rev. F. L. Goodspeed. Odd Fellow.s' Hall, formerly the old county court house. This was built in 1821 and was sold to the Odd Fellows soon after the occupancy of the new court house in 1874. The Police Depart.ment Building, next to City hall. The Court Square Theatre, erected by Dwight O. Gilmore in 1891-93. Opened in September 1893 by Manola Mason Co.

In the theatre may be seen the superb paining of Ophelia by I^Febvre, presented to Mr. Gilmore by the citizens of Springfield. In Court Square are the Soldiers' Monument, presented to the city by Citizen Gurdon Bill; the statue of Miles Morgan, a pioneer, erected by his fifth lineal descendant. Banker Henry T. Morgan of New York, J. S. Hartley, sculptor; and a drinking fountain presented to the city by D. B. Wesson. Forest Park is one and one-half miles south of Court .Square, comprising 425 acres, wooded and open and tastefully laid out with drives, paths and lakes. This is the popular resort of this vicinity; had over 500,000 visitors in 1894. It is famed the country over, as it is in many respects without an equal. The lily and lotus ponds, the gift of E. H. Barney, are particularly famous, having the choicest varieties, which may be seen in bloom from July till October. In the park are found 126 species of birds, 139 species of flowers, 18 of ferns, 192 of shrubs and 140 species of trees. The zoological department has elks, Japan- ese, black and common deer, a prairie wolf, wild cats, badgers, foxes, raccoons, porcupines, woodchucks, prairie dogs, fox, gray and red squirrels, Angora rabbits, German and common rabbits, guinea pigs, and Japanese rats; white swans, Canada wild geese, mallard ducks, golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, rough- lag and sparrow hawks, great horned owls, barred and screech owls, Japanese golden pheasants, crows, and half a dozen varieties of pigeons.

Springfield or Fearody Cemetery, (established 1841) on Maple Street, corner of Central. Here facing the Maple Street entrance stands the first soldiers' monument erected in Springfield, paid for with an unexpended balance of the " Soldiers' Rest" fund. It was designed by Manuel Power of New York, and represents a soldier at guard rest. On the Pine Street side of this cemetery are many ancient head- stones with curious inscriptions which were removed in 1849 from the old burying ground between Water Street and the river at the foot of Elm. These bear dates from 1657 through two centuries. The cemetery is half a mile from Court Square and is reached by Maple Street cars. Oak Grove Cemetery, (established 1882) on Bay Street. Also notable for its beauty. The gateway, receiving tomb, and many of the monuments are fine examples of the stone designer's art. Two miles from Court Square, reached by Walnut, King and Worthington Street cars. Opposite the City Library on State Street the Church of the Unity, a remarkably handsome brown- stone edifice, the Springfield High School building, and the Militia Armory, where the three Springfield companies of the Second Regiment, Companies B.

Other Notable church buildings are the First Baptist, at the corner of .State and Spring Streets, and the Memorial, on North Main Street. New Y. M. C. A. Building, corner State and Dwight streets. School Buildings noted for their architectural fitness are Buckingham school, opposite Winchester Park; the Carew Street school and the Pynchon .Street .school while the Tapley school (corner Bay and Sher- man Streets), a normal training school where teachers are taught, is worthy of a visit by any one interested in the most advanced methods.

Wesson is building), on State and Pearl Streets, and especially through the Highlands, or " Mcknight district," the streets running north from Stale street on the hill: and in the Forest Fark district. 58 G.
