PREFACE

PROPERTY THE

CITY OF NEW JURK

WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK is compiled upon the lines of a London publication, which furnishes biographic data of prominent men the world over, and a Chicago publication which covers the same ground for the whole United States. Obviously, the wider range of these books precludes the mention of many names that have a definite and important interest when considered as factors in the life of this State.

This local information, so to call it, has never, up to this time, been gathered within the limits of a single volume, and those who have had occasion to look for such information realize how difficult it is to secure. It is to be found only in County histories of dubious veracity; in newspaper clippings difficult of access; in family histories overloaded with unimportant trivialities ; or, in many instances, is not to be found at all. But, worst of all, when the alleged facts are gathered together they are found to be conflicting and the vital element of authenticity lacking. WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK is authentic. The information has been gathered at first hand. It may be relied upon.

The readers of this volume will confer a great favor upon the L. R. Hamersly Company by suggesting the names of people who should be included herein, but who have, for various reasons, been omitted. No one can be more sensible than the Publishers of the sins of omission which may be properly laid at their door. One thing, however, they do pride themselves upon : the most severe critic of their work cannot say that any men or women have been included who do not deserve a place in this book. The error has been that of omission rather than commission.

WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK.

ABARBANELL, Jacob R .:

Editor, author and playwright; born City of N. Y., Dec. 6, 1852; was educated in private and public schools, passing through the College of City of N. Y., receiving the degrees of A. B. and B. S. in 1872; then studied law at Columbia University, receiving the degree of LL.B. in 1874; while at Columbia he was also a teacher in both the day and night public schools in N. Y. City; after his admission to the Bar, practiced law for a number of years; he is a member of the Press, Manhattan, Single Tax and Plei- ades Clubs, and of the Medico-Legal So- ciety; he was married June 30, 1892, to Cornelia L. Eaton, and has one child, Ralph Royal Abarbanell, born Sept. 10, 1903. Address, 24 Vandewater St., N. Y. City.

ABBATT, William:

Author; son of William D. and Agnes A. (Dean) Abbatt; born N. Y. City, Nov. 16, 1851; formerly editor and assistant editor of insurance journals, and occa- sional contributor to the press. Author: Crisis of the Revolution; Battle of Pell's Point; editor of Sargent's Life of Ma- jor Andre; Memoirs of General William Heath; Winfield's Block-House by Bull's Ferry; Codman's Arnold's Expedition to Quebec, and Mrs. E. F. Ellet's Women of the American Revolution. Member and former secretary of Quill Club. Address, 281 4th Ave., N. Y. City.

ABBE, Cleveland:

Meteorologist; born New York, Dec. 3, 1838; son of George Waldo Abbe and Charlotte Colgate; was graduated from the College of the City of N. Y., A. B., 1857, A. M., 1860; after graduation he taught for a year in the Trinity Church grammar school, but since then has con- fined himself to work in astronomy and meteorology; as director of the Cincin- nati Astronomical Observatory, 1868- 1873, he established a system of daily weather telegrams and a daily weather map for the whole country, with fore- cast of the weather for Cincinnati; this

was done by co-operation with the Cin- cinnati Chamber of Commerce, the mem- bers of which united with Prof. J. A. Lapham of Milwaukee in urging upon the U. S. Congress the importance of a sim- ilar work for the benefit of the whole country; the national service was origi- nally, in 1870, entrusted to Gen. Albert J. Myer, as the chief signal officer of the Army, but was transferred to the depart- ment of agriculture in 1891, and is now known as the U. S. Weather Bureau; Abbe's interest in this meteorological work was to a considerable extent the outcome of circumstances peculiar to his boyhood in N. Y. City, where the lectures of James P. Espy and Elias Loomis, the writings of William H. Redfield and Jos- eph Henry and the publication of long- range forecasts by Merriam, "The Sage of Brooklyn Heights," and especially the daily weather tables published by the telegraph companies as items of news, all conspired to arouse a great interest in the subject and convince many citi- zens that daily weather predictions would soon be feasible; in connection with his work in Cincinnati, Prof. Abbe published in the New York papers, dur- ing the winter of 1869-70, as also in the Chicago papers, letters

showing his great hope that telegraphic weather work would be a benefit to the country, and would thereby gain the right to ask that the study of meteorology as a science be heartily supported by the universities; after the successful career of the weather bureau for over thirty years, he has still to regret that in his native city, whose commercial interests depend so much upon the weather, there has not yet been established a professorship of me- teorology. Address, 2017 I St., N. W., Washington, D. C.
