CHARLES STILLMAN SPERRY, son of Corydon Stillman and Cath- ine Elizabeth (Leavenworth) Sperry, was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., ptember 3, 1847. He came to Waterbury in his childhood, and aduated from the High school in July, 1862, and for a short time erward was employed in the office of the Farrel Foundry and ichine company. In the same year he was appointed to the Naval idemy, from which he graduated in 1866. His first cruise, made a midshipman, was in the United States steamer Sacramento, d ended in shipwreck in the Bay of Bengal in June, 1867. A jrty of thirty went adrift on a raft, without either water or pro- viions, and was rescued by a passing steamer when almost at the 1 t extremity. In February, 1868, he joined the Kearsarge at Bos- 1, still as midshipman, and cruised in the South Pacific until 1870,
1 which time he was commissioned a lieutenant.

In the spring of 1871 he went out as sailing-master of the store- ship Supply, loaded with flour contributed for the relief of the dis- tressed French peasantry. In December, 1871, he joined the Worces- ter, Rear-Admiral S. P. Lee's flag-ship on the West India station. and served in her until July, 1874, when he was ordered to duty as instructor at the Naval academy in Annapolis. He remained there until September, 1878, when he joined the flag-ship Richmond, as navigator. He sailed for Hong Kong in January, 1879. He was on the Asiatic station until 1881, and the most significant event of that term of service was the presence on board the Richmond of General Grant for several successive weeks, and the daily and hourly asso- ciation with him which the officers enjoyed. When his book was subsequently published, it was the comment of many who shared the experience that the general wrote just as he had talked to the officers grouped around him in the Richmond.
After this, Lieut. Sperry passed another term of three years as instructor in the Naval academy. From June, 1884, until October. 1887, he was executive officer on the Quinnebaug on the Mediter- ranean station, and then returned again to the Naval academy for four years, as head of the department of ordnance and gunnery. In 1887 he was commissioned a lieutenant-commander, his commis- sion dating from March, 1885. In July, 1891, he went as executive officer of the Chicago, the flag-ship of the White Squadron, and was on her during the winter of 1890-'91 in Montevideo, while Rear Admiral J. G. Walker lay awaiting the issue of the trouble with Chili. In April, 1893, the squadron formed part of the "Col- umbian review " fleet. In May, 1893, he was ordered to duty in the Bureau of Ordnance, at Washington. He was promoted commander in July, 1894. Commander Sperry has had eleven years' duty at the United States Naval academy at various times between 1874 and 1891. On January 11, 1877, he married Edith Marcy, daughter of Lieut. Samuel Marcy, U. S. N., and granddaughter of the Hon. William L. Marcy of New York. Their children are Marcy Leaven- worth and Charles Stillman.
FRANK WOODRUFF KELLOGG, son of the Hon. Stephen W. and Lucia Hosmer Kellogg, was born in Waterbury, July 26, 1857. In 1873 and 1874 he was a student at the Hopkins Grammar school, New Haven, in preparation for Yale college. He entered the United States Naval academy at Annapolis, as cadet midshipman, in January, 1875, and graduated in 1881, having been at the academy for the four years' course and on the United States steamer Shenandoah for a two years' course. Upon graduation he was com- missioned as a midshipman, and since then has been promoted

He rned the machinist's trade and worked at it in several factories.

He returned to New rk as assistant engineer, and part of the time as engineer, on Atlanta; was stationed for a time at the Brooklyn navy yard, 'sued his studies in advanced mechanical engineering, went Cuba in 1891 to set up sugar machinery, and remained there, urning to this country at intervals. On a return voyage in 3, he developed yellow fever when one day out of Havana. On iving at quarantine in New York, he was sent to the hospital Swinburne island, and died there November 10, 1893. His lains were cremated and the ashes were buried in Waterbury.

THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
The monument raised in memory of the 900 brave men who went forth from Waterbury to the war for the Union, is noteworthy among such memorials, not alone for its artistic dignity and beauty, but because it is probably the first soldiers' monument in New England paid for by subscriptions from the pockets of all the people, and at a total cost which imposed a burden of sacrifice on those who gave it and made the thing they paid for not only a memorial of the patriotism called out by the war, but an example of the patriotism which its memories still excite.
The first public suggestion of a soldiers' monument for Water- bury was made in the Waterbury American of November 26, 1870, in an article written by the Rev. Joseph Anderson and printed as an editorial. The bequest of Samuel W. Hall, of $5000, which was the nucleus of the monument fund, became known to the public soon after Mr. Hall's death, which took place March 5, 1877. It was over two years from this time, that is, on August 14, 1879, that Wadhams post, No. 49, of the Grand Army of the Republic, was instituted in Waterbury, and over three years (June 17, 1880) before the first practical action of the post was taken in the appointment of a "per- manent committee on the erection of a soldiers' monument." The impulse proceeded from the elaborate and patriotic observance of Memorial day under the auspices of the new post, after a lapse of nearly ten years since the day had had public recognition in Water- bury. A design for a monument, prepared by George E. Bissell of Poughkeepsie, was adopted early in 1881. A subscription paper cir- culated during the year was signed by over 1150 persons, and the amount subscribed was $23,822.96. The contract with Mr. Bissell was made April 24, 1883, and was for the whole work-granite and bronze-for the sum of $25,000. After free discussion in the news- papers and in the common council, a site was chosen on the open space west of the Green, near St. John's church. The only other

ot which was strongly recommended was the triangular space at e intersection of East Main, North and South Elm and Cole reets. A special town meeting, held July 21, 1883, appropriated e sum of $3500 for the construction of the foundation, which was id in August. The circular embankment was raised around it and e enclosing wall built in May, 1884. The Grand Army fair, by ich the subscription was completed, was held January 14-18, 84. The proceeds of the fair were $2500. This sum, added to the oceeds of other entertainments, made $3068.87, and raised the tal popular subscription to $26,891.83. Interest on the fund vested and an unexpended balance ($828.42) of the town's appro- iation for the foundation made the total receipts $30,623.46. In dition the town appropriated $2500 for the expenses of the dication.
The bronze figures of the monument were cast in Paris between ptember, 1883, and August, 1884. The monument was erected in tober, 1884, and barely completed on the day which had been ed for its dedication, October 23. The exercises of that day re an adequate expression of the public feeling-patriotic love ( those whose loyalty and sacrifice were commemorated and civic jide in the unique achievement of popular generosity by which their memory was made imperishable.
The bronze reliefs for the panels on the east and west sides re not put in place until October, 1885, and one of the two inscrip- ns-that on the north face-was not cut until May, 1886. The i cription on the south face is as follows: "In honor of the patri- sm, and to perpetuate the memory of the 900 brave men who nt forth from this town to fight in the war for the Union. This nument has been erected by their townsmen, that all who come der them may be mindful of their deeds, and fail not in the day C trial to emulate their example." Below this are the dates 1861-65. ne dates on the north face are 1865-1885, and the inscription, com- Ised by the Rev. Dr. Anderson, is as follows:
Brave men, who, rallying at your country's call, Went forth to fight,-if Heaven willed, to fall ! Returned, ye walk with us through sunnier years, And hear a nation say, God bless you all !
Brave men, who yet a heavier burden bore, And came not home to hearts by grief made sore ! They call you dead; but lo! ye grandly live, Shrined in the nation's love forevermore !
