Eng- land’s greatest humorist wrote ‘‘ The Bridge of Sighs.’’ This comic history of Cleveland is called into ex- istence to secure the funds necessary to endow a bed in Lakeside Hospital for the use of students of Western Reserve University and Case School of Applied Science. It is a project that meets with the approval of the col- lege officials and others most nearly interested, who recognize the necessity and humanity of the object and give it their cordial endorsement. To those whose hearts are quickened by sympathy for the unfortunate, and whose generous impulses lead them to aid in establishing this perpetual bed of mercy, the present volume is DEDICATED PRESIDENT'S OFFICE CLEVELAND, O MERELY sNdch OD 0 Gin Rox ERODOTUS, a Grecian man of letters, whose decease un- H doubtedly brought sorrow to many creditors, is sometimes called the father of history and sometimes the father of lies. In this he must not be confounded with Apollo, who was merely the god of lyres. Some histories are written in blood; some in mud. It cannot be said that this history is written in ether, although its effects may be equally stupefying. In the course of several commencement orations it has been remarked that history holds the mirror before the pageant of events. Even if this isn’t true, it sounds good. At the same time, let us beware lest the mirror be cracked. Which leads us to look with distrust upon the nickel-a-week histories that are cracked up so high. Nevertheless, in the present case the mirror comparison is one worthy of more-or-less serious reflection. Behold a glass, there- fore, wherein is reflected many shapes, some shadowy, some gro- tesque, together with a train of entertaining events that, like a shining cord, twisting in and out, binds together the hundred-and- five years of Cleveland’s splendid progress. CHAP le RM: 1796 THE LANDING. Afar across the tide they sailed To reach that favored spot, And each was making history— Yet truly knew tt not. —From Ballads of the Towpath. ,N the twenty-second of July, in the year } of grace 1796, a solitary boat might have been seen by the chance observer slowly holding its course westward along the southern shore of Lake Erie. It was a warm day, and the arms of the stalwart oarsmen, who had been hug- ging the shore since daybreak, were weary. Besides, they were still convalescing from a stren- uous observance of the Fourth of July at Erie. Amidships in the clumsy craft appeared the comman- der’s imposing figure. Of goodly height and generous proportions, his military bearing and his resolute face indi- cated the born leader. His stern eye carefully scanned the UNIVERSITY OF Hinge LIDRAR? \ shore, while his bow eye was fixed on the heaving waters ahead. “What place is that?”’ he presently asked. “That’s Painesville,” replied the watch, from Water- bury. “They’ve got a seminary for girls there. I’m told it’s named after Lake Erie.” “It’s rough on the lake,’ boat gave a sudden roll. , The breeze had freshened a little and the broad bow of the craft met the wavelets with a friendly splash and num- ’ said the commander as the erous pleasant gurgles. “Do you see that place a little further along?” enquired the watch. “‘T don’t see anything worth mentioning,” responded the commander. “"That’s Willoughby,” said the watch. Late in the afternoon General Cleaveland, for it was indeed he, seized the tiller and hastily headed the craft towards the mouth of a shallow stream that found its way to the lake through a wide rift in the high bank, ‘Goin’ to land?” quoth Josh Stow. “That’s what I’m heading for,” replied the General with a grim smile. | “Tt looks like a rum place,” said boatswain Joseph Tinker, who was standing upon the bow to get a better look at the channel. As he uttered the magic word so dear to all good sons of Connecticut, the excited oarsmen took an extra pull. Still closer to shore stood the boat—-a marked peculiarity of all § ae craft approaching land—and a mo- ‘Aa ment later it lingered lovingly on the bar.* Then she drifted forward into the stream. ’Gustus Porter stood at the rail ready to throw a line to shore. “‘ Heave to!” yelled the General. “Won't one be enough?” asked ’Gustus. , “‘ Haul in your sheets!” shouted Moses. ‘ We may have to sleep on land tonight.” The General jammed the tiller hard a port and the boat’s nose poked viciously into the left hand bank.+ A moment later they were all ashore, the boat was secured by the painter, and the party clambered up the Indian trail which led to the bluff just south of the brewery on the St. Clair-st hill. When they reached the plateau the lit- tle party paused and looked about with pleasure. They glanced at the glowing sky, at the whispering forest, and at the dimpling lake. “It’s a fine site,” mur- mered astronomer Seth Pease, “and I’d like to have the city which is sure to rise here, named Peaseville.”’ “‘ Peace, villian!” cried the General. ‘‘ This metropolis is to be known as Cleaveland with an A, and don’t you forget it!”’ And thus was Cleveland formally christened. At that eventful moment a band of Seneca Indians from Seneca street, came whooping across the plateau and lined up before the newcomers. Their chief, wearing a bead neckless and a happy smile, stepped forward and gravely saluted the General. * ‘See History of Cuyahoga Bench and Bar,” by J. H. Kennedy. + From ‘‘ Karly Panks and Banking,” by Thomas W. Hill. “‘ Ugh!” he grunted, “‘is this General Moses Cleaveland ?”’ “Tt is him,” replied the General affably.* | The red man turned to his anxious followers. “ Brothers,” he said, ‘“‘ we’re foundered!” And then to the amazement and momentary terror of the surveying party the coppery aboriginies advanced with waving hatch- ets and gave their tribal yell. “Orang-o-tang, orang-o-tang, orang-o-tang-a-bang ! Knap-sack-a-tick-tack, smoke-stack, hatrack, Race-track-a-switchback, slap-jack, crack ! Hunk o’ mud! Bowl o’ blood! Rah! Rah! SENECA !”’ “Great nation,’ mur- mered Moses, “but that was a close call!” When the echoes died away and the dust settled the General mounted a stump. ‘Turning towards the Indians, he said: “ Children of the dusky forest, my red _ brothers, it is a great day for all of us, and I am glad to hear you whoop it up. We have just laid here on these historic banks the egg of future municipal greatness. You may not appreciate the fact, but you have witnessed an event, my coppery friends, that un- born generations, including Mark Hanna and Tom John- son, as well as numerous others, will look back to with *Consult ‘‘ Verbal Eccentricities of the Pioneers,’’ by Prof. Charles F. Olney. reverence and even awe. I say to you, great chief, and to your young men, enjoy yourselves! We are going to let you loaf around here until we get things started, and then you will have to go west. In the meantime, great Yellow Dog, we have brought with us a choice lot of up-to-date junk to trade with you.* And let me say right here that all trading must be done on the Square—as soon as we get it laid out. Now, my red friends, I want to thank you for this original, I should say aboriginal, demonstration, and to assure you of the implicit confidence we repose in your integrity. Good night.”’ As the General stepped from the stump he turned to Joseph Tinker. | “‘ Joseph,” he asked, “did you lock up the oars?”’ ‘The oar-locks are broken,” replied Tinker. “Well,” said the General reflectively, ‘maybe you can borrow a scalp-lock from one of these cigar signs,” and he waved his hand gracefully towards the dusky warriors. The members of the Cleaveland party stretched their cramped limbs and inhaled huge draughts of the pure air. A gentle breeze from the west whirled little eddies of tem- pered atmosphere across the plateau. The nutmeg Argo- nauts were tired and hungry, and most of them were thirsty. ‘The goal they had sought so far and so long was at hand, and a feeling of relief filled . ST *See ‘‘ Atrocities of the Early Settlers,’’ by Prof. Iremuel S. Potwin, D. D. their hearts as they busied themselves with the preparations for the night. “A ha’penny for your thoughts, George?” said Shad- rach Benham to George Proudfoot, who stood a little apart gazing with a rapt look across the level field. George turned at the greeting. “T was juist thinkin’,” he replied in his broad Scotch dialect, “what a bonnie golf leenks the laddies could lay oot hereaboots!”’ A little later on when the shadows lengthened and the sun dipped his fiery disc into the heaving lake, the General, wrap- ped in thought and the atmosphere, stood alone on the bluff and let his keen eye sweep the free panorama that circled all about him. A slight cloud hung athwart his corrugated brow. | “Ts this,” he slowly muttered, ‘is this a fresh mistake of Moses?” Crieek Pie R& 11 THE CONNECTICUT LAND COMPANY. Out of the past I see them rise, Woodeny men with twinkling eyes ; Whittling men of well-spent years— Shapers of pine and pioneers. —From ‘Songs of Old Reserve.”’ ISTORY is little more than an abstract of land titles. War is a vigorous protest against existing fee simples. When an ambitious sovereign wants some other potentate’s land he picks flaws in his title and then starts out to evict him. Napoleon Bonaparte was simply a fat- headed sheriff’s officer in a gilt crown and tight breeches. Like all land pirates he finally had to take water in lieu of thetearth.= If North America had not been in the way of those doughty mariners—if mariners can be called doughty who were not out for dough, the two Cabots, the fate of Cleve- land might have been vastly different. Yet why talk Cabot post-mortem impossibilities ? ~ The Cabots stumbled against Newfoundland’s bleak shore, and thereupon England, as usual, claimed all North * See ‘‘Paine’s Puns for Pensive People.” America. Not only that, but England’s sovereign presently began*to give it away. Great blocks of virgin acres were bestowed on this favorite and that; sometimes the same block to several favorites. Occasionally another kind of block, though not a favorite by any means, was substituted. This latter block seems to have been resorted to only through a desire to head off plotters.* In course of time the royal game of give-away was played by Charles the Second, who in 1662 granted to the Governor and Company of Connecticut a tremendous chunk of the North American pie.t Connecticut waived part of her claim to the general govern- Ke Neuse Loo about the same time that the new flag of independ- ence first waved over the United States, but she re- served her acres in Northeastern Ohio, and wouldn’t be jollied or rallied out of them. Hence the term “ Rallying on the Reserve,” finally corrupted to “ Rallying on the Western Reserve.’ } In May, 1795, Connecticut offered all her Reserve acres for sale, with the exception of a trifle of 500,000, which she had set aside for certain of her citizens who had suffered from rude British excursions and clambakes along the coast. * Compare ‘‘ Modern Blocks,’’ by M A. Bradley. + Connecticut—a small State surrounding Yale College. t See President Charles F. ‘Thwing’s ‘‘ Western Reserve University Catalogue.”’ These were popularly known as the “ Fire Lands,” a some- what heated term applied to them by the early geography sharps. On September second, 1795, the Reserve acres, supposed to number 4,000,000, more or less, with a strong Yankee ac- cent on the less, were sold to the Connecticut Land Com- pany, a syndicate of wooden- nutmeg sharks, for $1,200,000. The Company numbered thirty-six original members, with seven directors and three trustees, and there were 400 shares of stock at $3,000 each. It looked like a beautiful scheme, for there wasn’t a cent paid down. But later on in the game, when the surveyors showed that there were but 3,000,000 acres, and that the Company had paid forty cents an acre instead of thirty cents, there was wild consternation. “Iwo members who had heart disease barely pulled through. But, of course, nobody dreamed of this on September 5, 1795, and consequently at the meeting held on that date in Hartford, they were all eagerness to have their new ac- quisition explored and’ surveyed. The meeting, which was rendered somewhat informal by the frequent meanderings of an oft-drained mug of flip, was presided over by General Oli- ver Phelps, with stockholder Titus Street at the secretary’s table. here were no reporters present, an oversight which reflects keenly on the enterprise of the local press. The portion of the proceedings which was of greatest interest to future Clevelanders was the selection of one of the directors of the Company as general agent to conduct the surveys. The choice fell upon General Moses Cleave- land, a sturdy ex-militiaman from Windham, not Wooden- ham, as some archeologists erroneously have it.* When it is remembered that this momentous action was not only the means of giving Cleveland a local habitation, but also furnished it with a name, no true Clevelander can refrain from being thankful that the choice of. the Company did not fall upon stockholder James Bull, who was casually mentioned for the place. As an example of the genial humor of this early period, it is related that when Titus Street’s election as secretary was announced, a stockhold- er, name unknown, gravely suggested that itewase sr Litusentreat« whereupon the new secretary smilingly rushed the beaker to the nearest tapster’s. It is a great pity that the minutes of “ie interesting meeting were not preserved. Perhaps there were no min- utes, which seems a pity, too. Anyway, they are lost, and, as everybody knows, lost minutes cannot be restored. We may take it for granted, however, that the proceedings were carried on in the usual manner. ‘There must have been a roll call—that is, if there was any roll to call, or anybody to call it. Then again, as long as we don’t know what manual it was they used, we are a good deal in the dark as *See Prof. M. M. Curtiss’ ‘‘Handbook of Archeological Anthropology in Words of One Syllable.’ to how they obtained their manual training. Probably there was new business after the election of officers, and somebody got up and moved something—the mug, per- haps, and somebody else asked that it be passed —and it was passed. And somebody else may have asked that it be laid on the table—fearful, perhaps, that something, or somebody, might be laid under the table, and somebody else possibly wanted to know if it couldn’t be taken up, and was thereupon pronounced out of order—suffering from lazy liver, perhaps, and then just as they were about to pass something —the mug again, no doubt—the motion was declared lost, the a- mendments, as. well, having failed to carry, and the decision of the Chair being sustained on an appeal after a division of the house. Then unfinished busi- ness was taken up, the | sergeant-at-arms threatening to clear the galleries if the demonstration was repeated. 7 No doubt everything adjourned when they got that far and very likely that’s as far as they got. But how are we to know all this, when the minutes that were never kept have not been handed down? And yet there isn’t a doubt that some of those Connecticut worthies had served as Minute Men a score of years before, with both honor and distinction. Some people affect to consider the minute as an absurdly minute bit of time. And yet in the aggressive fight for place and recognition, the minute is the only hero of the arena of Time that has sixty seconds. ies During the following winter, General Cleaveland, uncon- scious of the deathless honor which was about to be done him, made his preparations for the coming junket. He worked so industriously that he had his men and munitions all selected before Spring’s arrival. It is related of him that one day, when wearied by the preparations, he flung himself across a pile of blankets and fell asleep. He was awakened by stockholder William Love, who enquired if he had gathered all his supplies. | ‘““No,” he answered as he looked back at his temporary bed, ‘but I have laid in a part of them.” It was on April 5, 1796, that the party of fifty alleged souls, all told, quietly set forth for the western rendezvous. Ops UN Ah Oe OOS THE FIRST NIGHT IN AN EMBRYO CITY. They read in Nature's open book Before them widely spread— They saw the child of Nature, too, And he was also red. —From Poems of the Pioneers. OUNDER Cleaveland’s party had become accustomed to sleeping in the open air, and when a big fire was kindled and the food supplies brought up from the boat, the arrangements for the first night’s stay were com- plete. The blaze attracted a bunch of Indians who prowled curiously around ‘the camp. Presently one of them came forward bearing a piece of birch bark and a bit of sharp flint. He was comely, except his hair, and wore a pair of misfit deerskin trousers and a snail-shell necklace. “ Bosh cobosh, misky voo,” he politely remarked to the General. “Allygoflipflap bawbaw.”’ “What does he want?”’ the General asked of Job Locke. “He says the Daily Tomahawk has sent him down here to interview you.” “Well, by gum!” said the General. “Gum all succotash, hulahula wowwow!” quoth the smiling Indian. ‘“‘ He wants to know how you like the country,” trans- lated Job Locke. The General’s eye wandered to the nearest cornfield. “Tell him,” he said, “that some of it is amaizih’.” When this was translated to the red reporter he stag- gered slightly and gathering up his notes, hastily withdrew. ‘“‘ Rather a fresh young man,” said ’Gustus Porter. “ Rather,” agreed the General, “fresh as a freshman.”’*. It will no doubt be entertaining to know what sort of provender tickled the palates of these hardy pioneers at their memorable first dinner in Cleaveland.

Then the General removed his pipe and peered about the circle. “Give us a song, Michael Coffin,” he said. The man addressed looked up and took his pipe from his lips. “Is it my fine baritone you’d be after hearin’?”’ he laughed. ‘Sure it’s squeaky tonight. The barrow part of it needs oilin’.” “Pass Michael the oil,’’ quoth the General. A pannikin of corn juice was handed forward, and after taking a liberal sup of it the young man cleared his throat for the following ditty : “ LL PPE RG a eo) MAKERS OF Lapies’ MusskEs’ CHILDREN’S AND INFANTS’ SHOES CLEVELAND.
