NEW YORK. Nov. 5.—In the century of Its existence, the New York Histori cal Society has accumulated a collec tion of over iOO,000 books, phamphlets and addresses on American history, an average of over 1,000 a year. To many, who think of America as among the ypungest of nations, the fact that the country contains an his torical society one hundred years old comes as a surprise and adds to the Interest they take in its wealth of ma terial. The hundred thousand publi cations cover the whole field of Ameri can history and constitute a treasure house of information for the student, no matter in what section of the coun try or with what phase of Its develop ment he Is especially concerned. Such a collection In Itself entitles the society to distinction but Its work has been done so quietly that few out side a limited circle In the metropolis have known anything about it. Now, however, the centennial observance, which will occur on the 22nd of this month, will serve to call attention to the really remarkable achievements to this pioneer among American histori cal associations. More than that, the beginning of the society's second c tury Is to he marked by the erection of a new home which will be among the finest buildings of Its kind in the world and make readily accessible not only a great store of historical literature but also many valuable works of art and mementoes of the country’s early days. The association is not. as the name might imply, merely local In character. Its work Is national in scope and for that reason of interest in all parts of the country. At present the Historical Society Is housed away over on the east side of •New York far from the portions of the city seen by the ordinary visitor. The building Is small and unpreten tious and of the cold and forbidding style of architecture common In pub lic edifices of half a century ago. There is little about It to attract the attention of the stranger, even the name appearing only tn small, tarnish ed gilt letter over the door. Yet this obscure structure contains In ai tion of the Society's Urge collection of historical publications a great va riety of valuable art works end other cbject* of historical Interest. There are Cstltn’s original drawings of Am erican Indians, a Urge series including pictures of all the native tribes. While this collection of rare value to the ethnologist and the general student of history, was given to the Society years ago. it has never yet been placed on exhibition owing to lack of space. Audubon's sketches of American birds are also of extreme value, but per haps these drawings and sketches are exceeded In popular Interest by some of the other things hidden away in the crowded recesses of the building. Every school boy knows the story of the way In which patriotic New Yorkers nt the outbreak of the Revolu tion pulled down the great leaden stqtue of George III. and melted his Britannic Majesty Into bullets to be used in fighting Redcoats nnd Hes sians. The pedestal not being avail able as material for musqet balls es caped destruction, and Is now In the Historical Society’s collection. Here also Is the tablet placed originally at the duelling ground at Weehawken where Alexander Hamilton was shot by Aaron Burr, and there are many other objects of equal Interest. In addition to its collection relating par ticularly to American history, the So ciety has a musem of Egyptian anti quities cbllected by Dr. Henry Abbott containing over 1.000 specimens early Egyptian arts and crafts. The New York merrlianta of the last century, who accumulated what were vast fortunes for those days, had a keen appreciation for the finer things of life and became ready purchasers of works of art. Many of these men bequeathed their collections to vari ous associations, and it Is' largely as a result of this benevolence that the art galleries of the Historical Society contain many paintings, Including those In the Reed, Bryan and Durr collec tions and that of the old New York Gallery of Fine Artst. There are can vases by Albert Durer, Gainsborough, Greuze, Hogarth, Leonardo da Vinci, Murillo, Rembrandt, Rubens, Teniers, Van Dyck. Valaaquez, West, Watteau and other,masters. Pfihaps the most celebrated painting In the collection is the "Martyrdom of Kt. Laurence** by Titian. It Is valued st $75,000. The founders of the New York His torical Society were r.omng the lead ers of the life of the little city, and they made their plans for their organ ization with wisdom .ir.d foresight. The republic was less than 30 years old when the men who originated this so ciety gave their expr^rsion to their be lief that the young --nation and the colonies had made history enough to warrant its systematic study. It was on November 20, 1804. that Egbert Benson. DeWltt Clinton, Rev. Dr. Wil liam IJnn. Rev. Dr. John N. Abeel. Rev. Dr. John M. Mason, Dr. David Hoosack, Anthony Bleecker. H-.muel Bayard, Pe. ter O. Stuyvesant and John Pintard met in the picture room of the old City Hall In aWU street to organize CUy Hall Jn Wall street to organize be to collect and preserve materials relating to the natural, civil and eccle siastical history of the United States In ge mi At and cf the stats of New York In particular. The society was incor- ixtrated by an act of the legislature on February 9, 1809. This act was re newed 17 years later and again in Feb ruary, 1846, when the legislature chang- the annual income from $1,500 to $10,- 000. Resides organizing the society Its founders early took means to Impress upon the minds of the people gener ally the importance of cherishing pub lic records and private pap ere nnd their value to the student of history. A banquet will be given at Delmon- Ico’s Tuesday evening, November 22, only make Its treasures acclMHlble to the public but will be an evidence of the increasing Interest throughout the country in American history and an tiquities. TIFTON’S BIG FIRE. Detailed List of the Losses, With In surance Carried. TIFTON, Ga., Nov. 6.—The fire of yesterday afternoon was the most de structive that has ever been in this to celebrate the centenniul anniversary town, not excepting the burning of H. of the organization which was thus begun and a commemorative medal, In either bronze or silver, will be struck showing on the obverse side portraits of John Pintard. the founder, and Eg bert Benson, the first president of the Bocletly, and, on the reverse. Federal Hall, the association’s first home, and the new building now In course of con struction. The site of the building Is nt 76th street, opposite Central Park, and was bought In June. 1191, at a cost of $300,- 000. Some difficulty waa experienced in raising the additional money neces sary to begin the work of construction and It was not until Dean Hoffman, father of ihe present president, took up the task of securing funds that any great progress was made. Dean Hoff man Induced several prominent New York people—among them Archer M. Huntington, Miss Matilda Wolfe Bruce, J. P. Morgan, F. Robert Schell, the late John Alsop King, Cornelius and George W. Vanderbile—to contribute large ftmounti.[H|||Hl^^H A building committee was appointed in June, 1901, to receive and report up on plans for the proposed building nnd decided to erect the central portion, 135x115 feet, on the llnea of American colonial architecture from the plana of Messrs. York ft Sawyer at an esti mated cost of $400,000. The corner stone was laid by ex-Mayor Low, No vember 17. 1903. Since then the work has been Interrupted by lack of funds; but it Is now expected that It will be resumed within a month, and that the first story will be finished late In the spring. The new building wheii completed will be the finest of its sort In the coun try. It will be of pink Milford granite, three stories high, and beside ample H. Tift’s saw mill plant several years ago.
