JOHN McINTIRE CHILDREN'S HOME.

PAST AND PRESENT OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.
the Home, and is a handsome two-room build- ing with a capacity for 100 pupils; the attached farm comprises 104 acres upon which are two frame dwellings for the janitor of the Home and the overseer of the farm.
SCHULTZ' OPERA HOUSE.
The inferior facilities for dramatic and operatic amusements, which Black's Music Hall afforded, induced Schultz and Company to erect a Temple which would be a credit to the city, and they were so successful that the auditorium became a pride to every citizen, and although it has been "dark" several years, since the more commodious Weller was opened, the popular heart beats for the Schultz, in which the citizens have witnessed nearly all the leading stars of the last twenty years in their principal roles.
The building was designed by Oscar Cobb, of Chicago, and was regarded as his master piece, and no opera house in the west presented so many real excellences; it was rated as the most perfect and convenient, in all its appointments, and second only to the Euclid Avenue Theater, in Cleveland, in decoration. Its acoustic proper- ties were perfect, and every sitting was comforta- ble and satisfactory. The parquette contains 176 chairs, parquette circle, 214, dress circle, 276, and the gallery benches seat 450, making the entire sitting 1,116. The stage is seventy feet wide and thirty-five feet deep ; the drop curtain was painted by Matt. Morgan, of Cincinnati, and represented Apollo standing in a golden chariot, leading out the horses of the sun. Preceding him, on the left, are dancing nymphs and satyrs, on the right, the twin muses, Tragedy and Comedy.
The opening was fixed for January 20, 1880, with the Emma Abbott English Opera Company as the officiating priests in the opera of Romeo and Juliet ; a matinee on the succeeding day, with Chimes of Normandy, and the Daughter of the Regiment, on the second night.
The sale of seats began at Munson's music rooms, Main street, at 9 a. m., January 13: the first purchaser took his stand at the door at 3 a. m., and up to 7 a. m. fourteen had fallen into linc, and at 9 a. m. exactly 129 werc counted ; at 10:30 a. m. all of the scats were sold for the opening night.
The audience was the most brilliant and fash- ionable previously assembled in the city, the ma- jority being in cvening costume, and cach sought to distinguish the occasion. Governor Foster and family occupied a box, and he was called on for a speech, and the architect, and Miss Abbott werc cach called before the curtain, and made a brief response to the compliment.
WELLER THEATER.
S. A. Weller, manufacturer of art pottery, de- cided to erect a theater of greater proportions than Schultz', and purchased the Clements' homestead, on the west side of Third street, north of Main, upon which the present beautiful structure, known as Weller's Theater, was erected. Harry C. Meyer, of Zanesville, and Frederick Elliott, of Columbus, were its architects, and Adams Broth- ers and C. O. Vinsel, of Zanesville, the contrac- tors. The interior stucco work was designed and executed by Hugo Herbe, an artist at the Weller works, and the mural decorations he produced in the auditorium are equal in artistic design and mechanical finish to those which, in more public places, have earned the highest encomiums for their producers. The stage is forty-two by sev- enty feet, and the height, from the floor to the gridiron, is sixty-nine feet, while the steel fly gratings will accommodate the scenery carried by any traveling company. To the side and rear of the stage are four dressing rooms, heated by steam, lighted by both gas and electricity, and with outside ventilation ; under the stage are four large dressing rooms for choruses, with a room for the orchestra, and in the rear the engine and boiler rooms.
The drop curtain was painted by John Rettig. of Cincinnati, and represents an ancient trium- phial procession, which well repays a detailed study by the waiting spectator. The seating ca- pacity is seventeen hundred, with standing room for eight hundred additional, and six boxes; all seats on the ground floor are heavily upholstered. and the first five rows in the balcony partially so ; a special stairway leads to the gallery, and in the rear of its seats is a large lobby and lavatory. In the rear of the balcony is a lobby and on the first floor, in addition to a large lobby is a smok- ing room on one side, and a ladies' retiring room on the other, in charge of attendants to care for wraps, with manager's and ticket office. Ample exits exist, and crowding is unnecessary to empty the auditorium in a short timc.
The opening was set for Monday, April, 27. 1903, and the attraction was "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." The sale of seats be- gan at 7:30 a. m., Thursday, April 23, at Schultz' Opera House, but Tuesday night, twenty-one boys took places in Fountain allcy, working in pairs and relieved each other at intervals; each purchaser was permitted to buy six tickets for each of the four performances, and although it rained continually during Wednesday, the boys held their places, and at 7 a. m., Thursday, two hundred persons were in linc, and the sale con- tinucd until 5 p. m., and was resumed on Friday. The performances were in every respect suited to

the character of the beautiful temple of historionic art, and during its comparatively brief existence has presented some of the most eminent dramatic and operatic stars of the period.
THE ZANESVILLE CITY HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION.
On February 19, 1888, C. W. Potwin, James Buckingham, John C. Sullivan, Moses M. Gran- ger. C. Stolzenbach, T. F. Spangler and N. T. Gant were incorporated as the Zanesville City Hospital Association, but no further action was taken under the authority thus secured ; in March, 1890, a few ladies interested in the subject called a meeting in the parlors of the Young Men's Christian Association, which was largely attended, and in April an organization was affected under the incorporation papers of 1888, with twelve trustees, twenty-four managers, all ladies, and an advisory board of four gentlemen. The trustees were chosen and took the oath of office, May I, 1890, and fixed the membership fee at $1.00 per annum; a mid-summer festival was held, and in August an aggregate of $9,000.00 was in the treasury or promised. The Peabody homestead, in Underwood street, was purchased for $10,- 000.00, and the building formally opened and dedicated January 22, 1891.
The first trustees were : Mesdames James Herd- man, Frank J. Terry, James R. Peabody, James Buckingham, T. B. Townsend, D. I. Jones, Julius Frank, M. M. Granger, Ellen M. Gattrel, and Miss Mattie A. Taylor; the last four named re- signed, and were succeeded by Mesdames R. G. Silvey, C. C. Goddard, W. W. Harper, and Miss Jennie T. Ball. The first officers were: Mrs. James Herdman, president : Mrs. James Bucking- ham, first vice-president ; Mrs. F. J. Terry, sec- ond vice-president ; Miss Mattie A. Taylor, sec- retary, succeeded by Miss Jennie T. Ball; Mrs. Ellen M. Gattrell, treasurer, succeeded by Mr. W. H. Pierpont. The first advisory board was Rev. Frank Richards, F. H. Southard, C. Stolzenbach and M. Churchill.
GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL.
During 1894 a hospital was opened in south Seventh street, by H. T. Sutton, M. D., and placed in charge of Mrs. Vicroy, a professional nurse ; the institution was styled the Third Ward Hospital, and when Mrs. Margaret Blue learned of its establishment she made a written tender of
home in the Marietta road would be very appro- priate, and was told to have plans prepared, which were drawn by the Doctor's sister-in-law, Mrs. Helen Maginnis. During 1895 the Mar- garet Blue Sanitarium was incorporated as an in- stitution, not for profit, by Hon. T. J. McDer- mott, H. T. Sutton, M. D., H. R. Geyer, M. D., J. L. Holden, M. D., and C. L. Crider, M. D., and the building was erected and the first operation performed in it during the week preceding Christ- mas, 1895. The expense of construction and equipment had exceeded the estimate made to Mrs. Blue, and Drs. Sutton and Holden paid the excess. Dr. Sutton was nominal manager, and the Sanitarium was prosperous from the begin- ning, its wards being generally occupied, and soon it was more than self-sustaining.
As Mrs. Blue's health was impaired, upon the completion of the building, she took up her resi- dence in the Sanitarium, and died there in 1900. The male trustees then resigned, and in May, 1900, were succeeded by five Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, who continued to operate the institution ; in 1902, its capacity was too limited for its demands, and plans for enlargement were considered ; about this time the E. J. Brush home- stead, in Laurel avenue, on McIntire Terrace, was offered for sale, and its ample grounds, and greater accessibility suggested it as a more de- sirable site for the enlarged institution ; the prop- erty was purchased, an addition of two brick wings, with stone trimmings, and wide veran- das on each floor, for the comfort of convales- cents, was made, at a cost of $10,000.00, and the building, with an aggregate of twenty-six rooms, was occupied June 28, 1902, and called The Good Samaritan Hospital. The vacation of the Margaret Blue Sanitarium was regarded by the Sisters as a relinquishment of the bequest, and they resigned in favor of five gentlemen to take the property in the interest of the heirs of the donor, and with the vacation and surrender they paid their successors $1,800.00 in money.
The hospital was dedicated, Friday, June 27, 1902, with solemn splendor ; service began at St. Nicholas church at 9:30 a. m., with high mass, after which carriages were taken by the officiating clergy and Sisters to the Hospital, where Rt. Rev. Bishop Henry Moeller officiated in the local exercises. Three rooms were furnished at private expense, one each by W. D. Schultz and wife, and A. E. Starr, and the children's ward by E. J. Brush and wife.
city is admitted to practice in it, although Dr. Sutton is recognized as surgeon in chief; about a dozen Sisters are in attendance at all times, and the building has been much overcrowded for some time. Plans are about completed for an entirely
The Good Samaritan Hospital has no medical financial assistance to Dr. Sutton, with whom she ' or surgical staff ; any physician or surgeon of the was then unacquainted. Through Dr. J. L. Hol- den, Mrs. Blue and Dr. Sutton were made ac- quainted, and the latter was requested to select a lot upon which a suitable building could be erected ; he suggested that the one adjoining her

new, modern, three-story brick hospital building, on the present grounds, to contain one hundred rooms in the portion which it is contemplated to erect at once, at a cost of perhaps $60,000.00.
HELEN PURCELL HOME.
Helen Purcell was born near Harper's Ferry, Virginia, November 24, 1824, and came to Zanes- ville with her parents in 1827; she was a delicate girl and unable to attend school continuously, and resided at Zanesville all her life, except from 1854 to 1866, which years she spent at Dayton. She was one of the founders of the Womens' Be- nevolent Society, and one of its most active and earnest workers, and at its meetings was ac- customed to speak of the formation of an "old ladies' home," perhaps prompted thereto by her own loneliness as an unmarried woman. She died Sunday, May 31, 1885, and by will, dated March 26, 1885, named C. Stolzenbach, John M. Bonnett, jr., B. V. H. Schultz, Edgar W. Allen and Z. C. McElroy, M. D., trustees to form a home for "aged, infirm and indigent widows, and unmarried women," the estate being worth about $7,800.00. The trustees were to have free power to prescribe rules for entrance and were ad- vised to charge fees, as her expressed intention was to shelter the worthy and unfortunate, and not create an asylum for those who had wasted their substance.
November 6, 1885, The Helen Purcell Home was incorporated, and a portion of the estate was consumed in contesting the claims of heirs at law to have the will set aside ; the will was sustained, and increments to the fund were made by Mrs. Esther M. Clark. $4,304.00; Mrs. Alexander Johnston, $200.00; Daughters of the American Revolution. $243.46; W. B. S. Calendar, $140.00; Girls' Club, $100.00; Children's Fund, $109.31 ; an unknown friend, $300.00; and others. The Childrens' fund was the development of two pen- nies ; the ladies of the Womens' Benevolent So- ciety had asked the school children to contribute to their work by donations of groceries, and in a bag of beans two pennies were found wrapped in paper ; they were given to a little girl to inaugu- rate some plan of increasing the contribution and she bought some cloth and made an iron holder which was sold for a dime; this was reinvested in more material for similar devices, and the re- sult of the movement was $109.31, which was ded- icated to the Helen Purcell Home. Miss Jennie T. Ball was an carnest friend of the. Home and her zealous labors had large pecuniary value.
In 1904 the beautiful grounds and commodious building of the former Putnam Seminary were purchased : the furniture in the building, which had been used by the Brunton Sanitarium, was donated by Mr. James Buckingham and his sis-
ters, Mrs. S. S. Cox and Mrs. John A. Harden- baugh; other benevolent persons made contribu- tions, among whom were Mrs. General Samuel Thomas and Mrs. Mary E. Williams.
May 17, 1905, the Home was dedicated and opened. Edgar W. Allen delivered the opening address, reciting some events in the life of the founder; a quartet composed of Mrs. Charles Geis, Mrs. Mary Gebest-Rietz, Clyde Reasoner and H. O. Stanton, sang the "Gallant Trouba- dour," Rev. A. M. Courtnay, D. D., offered an invocation ; Mrs. Rietz and Mr. Stanton sang a duet ; Rev. D. M. Ross spoke upon the Home, and at its conclusion Mrs. Geis sang "Love's Echo;" Col. T. F. Spangler spoke of the financial career and condition of the Home, and announced the donation of $2,500.00 in six per cent. securities trom a friend whose identity was withheld by re- quest. The property had been purchased at a cost of $25,000.00, and at dedication had an indebted- ness of $3,000.00. The quartet rendered "Lo. it is I," the accompainments to all the musical num- bers being furnished by Mrs. Graham Bailey, and the ceremonies were concluded by the benediction by Rev. D. M. Ross.
The present trustees are T. F. Spangler. J. J. Adams, W. R. Baker, W. M. Shinnick and George H. Stewart; and the board of women managers is Mesdames Edward Martin. W. E. Guthrie, W. D. Schultz, Otto A. Bauer, James W. Rusk, Edward A. Green and Anna M. Hill. M. D.

ABOLITIONISM.
Zanesville was settled originally by Virginians. Marylanders and Pennsylvanians, and a few Protestant Irish ; they were fond of sports, danc- ing and music and endeavored to obtain as much pleasure as possible out of life. Putnam was set- tled originally by Yankees, who were honest. shrewd, industrious and intelligent, who regarded life more seriously, were inclined to reflect upon the sober questions of the day, and discounten-

anced what they regarded as the ungodly frivoli- ties of the Zanesville inhabitants, who gave Put- nam the sobriquet of "Saint's Rest," which it has ever retained, because of a certain degree of solemnity which cast a gloom over everything.
Zanesville had no objection to slavery and many of its people favored it although its existence was prohibited in the state; the people of Putnam had brought with them, from their New England homes, the Puritan opinions of the institution, and hated it with religious zeal ; they despised the Zanesvilleans for their ignorance and disregard of ethics, and the latter reciprocated with a coarse ill will and intense contempt for what they classed as Puritanical cant and hypocrisy. To intensify the disagreement, fortune had smiled on Zanesville and it had outstripped its neighbor as a town, and its citizens were proud and elated over it and never permitted an opportunity to escape to remind their more thrifty but less successful neighbors of the fact.
Although their fortunes might not have pros- pered their opinions were not modified, and they were not depressed by loss of prestige; and Monday evening, June 24, 1833, Levi Whipple, A. G. Allen, Thomas Gurney, M. B. Cushing and H. C. Howells met at the latter's residence, northeast corner of Woodlawn avenue and Van Buren street, to consider the expediency of form- ing an organization to promote the total abolition of slavery, and it was agreed that each one pres- ent should invite his friends to meet with them at Mr. Whipple's office on the following Satur- day, at which time there were present Levi Whip- ple, chairman; A. G. Allen, secretary ; John Goshen, Thomas Gurney, Horace Nye, H. C. Howells, M. B. Cushing, John Quigley, Charles Mathews and Wm. Joiner. A constitution was adopted, which was signed by all present except Goshen and Mathews, and the first public meet- ing was held July 4, 1833, in the Presbyterian church, in Zanesville, when the constitution was amended and the name of the society changed to the Muskingum County Emancipation Society to promote the Abolition of Slavery and of Op- pressive Lazes; although not endorsed very ex- tensively in the city, 220 persons in the county had signed the constitution in a short time.
Commencing October 26, 1833, a monthly prayer meeting was held for the abolition of slavery, at first in the stone academy, and for many years in the Putnam Presbyterian church; a Bible class for colored adults was formed and later a Sunday school for colored children ; peti- tions to the Legislature and Congress were for- warded and the society was in active co-operation with similar organizations throughout the country.
Zanesville was not indifferent to these trans- actions, but regarded them as the futile efforts of "cranks," who were dealing with a subject about
which they knew nothing, but were aroused to a feverish condition of excitement when the an- nouncement was made that a state convention of Abolitionists was called to assemble, April 22, 1835, in the stone academy near the intersection of Moxahala avenue and Jefferson street. The coming event was the sole topic at tavern con- ferences, on the street and in the homes of Zanes- ville, and it was determined to prevent it. Pre- ceding the convention Theodore D. Weld came by invitation to lecture and his meetings created such opposition and excitement, that April II, 1835, a committee was appointed to wait on the prosecuting attorney about the disturbances at the meetings, and secure protection.
When the day arrived Zanesville was beyond control, and when it was known that the half dozen Abolitionists of Putnam were in actual con- ference with visitors of similar political persua- sion, the slum of Zanesville, encouraged by more respectable and more guilty men, but lacking the courage to engage in actual violence, crossed the river, dispersed the meeting, defaced the build- ing, insulted the ladies and spread terror through- out the village. Putnam was helpless; violence to private property was imminent, and the resi- dences of Major Nye, A. A. Guthrie and H. C. Howells were threatened with incendiarism, and, for some time, were protected by neighbors. The Putnam residents were greatly aggrieved and an intensely bitter feeling grew out of the occur- rence.
Time worked partial reconciliation but the slumbering opposition of Zanesville was fanned into a living flame of political hatred by the rumor that the state convention of the Ohio Anti-Slavery Society was to assemble in the stone academy in May, 1839. Zanesville had condoned the first offence but would not permit such incendiary meetings; inflammatory documents were issued, one especially was filled with the bitterest in- vectives, designed to excite the worst of human passions, and entitled the "Resurrection of Abolitionists in Putnam." Zanesville was aroused to madness on the day of the convention and the Zanesville rabble invaded Putnam dur- ing daylight, but no disturbance occurred until evening, when the barn of Adam France was fired, because he had stabled the horses of some of the delegates, and on the following night Mr. Whipple's barn was burned. Mr. Howells, an Englishman, engaged in tanning at Woodlawn avenue and Harrison street, and others, had made ethusiastic speeches before the convention, which the mob considered inflammatory, and the in- formation was carried into the country, and hun- dreds of rural pro-slavery men came into Zanes- ville to reinforce the haters of the Abolitionists. An attack was made on the academy, the Putnam men resisted, routed the ruffians and captured
I33

their leader and some of the men. When this intelligence reached Zanesville the friends of the prisoners were hastily notified to rendezvous at the Third street bridge, to rescue their comrades ; in the meantime the citizens of Putnam, without regard to political affiliations, were determined to defend their town and place the prisoners in the Zanesville jail; the Zanesville mob, threatening to burn the town, was met at the southern end of the bridge by Mr. Z. M. Chandler and an armed force, and a battle with stones, bludgeons and firearms ensued, in which one Zanesville man was severely wounded in the leg. Reinforcements came to both sides, and when the fight was hottest the Sheriff appeared with a posse, read the riot act and ordered the mob to disperse. During the conflict one prisoner escaped but the remainder were marched to jail by the Sheriff.
When the Zanesville party made the first at- tack, a detachment had provided a bucket of tar and a sack of feathers to adorn Mr. Howells, but he escaped from the building and climbed a tree on the high ground near the Cooper Mill road, from which he watched the mob searching for him; when the rioters learned that their attack had been repulsed and some of their party cap- tured, they feared their ability to reach home by the bridge and swam the river.
When the Sheriff had locked up his prisoners, he 'anticipated a rescue as the city was in turmoil, and popular sentiment was running in that di- rection ; the officers knew the danger and were hoping for the return of the Zanesville Guards, who had gone on an excursion to Dresden. Upon their return they were placed on duty at the court house, and late at night, when the crowd had dispersed, the military were released and a strong civil guard alone held the position. Public sentiment was so favorable to the prisoners that their punishment was nominal and did not "fit the crime."
Putnam was not on the line of the Under- ground Railway, and while the occasions were in- frequent to assist a slave to freedom, the Putnam Abolitionists were never found lacking in any of the zeal in action which they so forcibly advo- cated in theory.
TEMPERANCE.
The prevalence of the use of intoxicating liquors in the early part of the Nineteenth century is affirmed by social and commercial records ; custom sanctioned their employment upon all social occasions and stores sold them as staple articles ; they were displayed openly upon the side- board in nearly every home, and whiskey, brandy and wines were as essential to hospitality as solid food. Bitters were administered to the house- hold, at fixed seasons of the year, and their use was regarded as positively necessary to the health
of the family; the liquors were too cheap to adulterate and their quality was never impeached, and intoxication rarely extended to the condition of imbecility.
Notwithstanding popular sentiment found no fault with existing customs there were individuals who did, and November 15, 1830, a meeting was held in the Methodist meeting house, in Putnam, for the purpose of forming a temperance society ; Edwin Putnam was chosen chairman and W. H. Moore, secretary ; Rev. James Culbertson opened the exercises with prayer and an address was de- livered by A. A. Guthrie. A constitution was adopted and those signing it agreed "to per- petually abstain strictly from ardent spirits and wine, except as a medicine, or as a part of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper ; also, not to pre- sent it to visitors, customers or laborers, except as a medicine, not to be directly or indirectly con- cerned in the manufacture or sale of ardent spirits, except so far as he shall be convinced that they are intended for medical purposes or the arts." Ninety names were affixed to the constitu- tion, and the officers chosen were: John Goshen, president ; Edwin Putnam, vice president; A. A. Guthrie, secretary; Samuel Chapman, treasurer ; WV. H. Moore, Horace Nye, Thomas Wilbur, Abraham Josselyn and Col. Wm. Hadley, direct- ors. The society flourished and December 6, 1850, there were 813 signers to the constitution, and April 18, 1853. the society became part of the Temperance Alliance.
