UP :T PRESS AGENT OF THEM ALL, NEVER SAW HIS OWN SHOW Late -"Tody" Hamilton Pub lished Barnum's Obituary Before P, T, Was Dead, , "Tody" Hamilton, prrss agent oxtra finlinary, dipri recently at tho lionic of his tirol hf r-ln-law nfr Paltlmoro, Md. ' lf ;isi 69 years old. "Tody" Hamilton liad no rivals for the reputation of t lie greatest props agent that ever lived. The freo spare ho got for narnum and Halley's c-lr-cu ran Into mile'. Ho Invented the modern circus poster, and founded a school of alliteration all Ms own. He put the Cardiff (Jlant and the saried Tvliito elephant of Slam over on tiie crcat American public lie was t.)e flrHt to discover the resource of ll'ie Knglisli langiiatco In OaiRautiMn epithets, and to match thorn likcbc!. In a melodious snlcs. Ulerary critics have given lilm the credit for the abandonment nf the alliteration hy poels of the present lay, who conced'j tha't, slurp. Hamilton's time, verbal tlntlnahiilal Ions of all hinds belong exclusively to the circus. Only a f-liort time before he died "Tody" Hamilton said In (he ofTice of the New York Times that during ail the years of his connection with Har num and Halley's he had never -seen their Incomparable show. Ho would not. allow his conception of It to be -distorted by contact with the details. ' Created a "Style." When Hamilton first began -to com pose the posters for the big show his work was criticised as too florid, and efforts were made to cheapen his style by extravagant imitations of It. His reply was a new scries beside which hid' first efforts were reserved and monosyllabic. His style f.urvlved sa tirical imitations, as did Dr. Samuel Johnson'M, and Is the foundation of the circus literuture of today. Hamilton Is noted as a press agent today, not only because lie enriched the language of the common people, but alwo because lie was fertile In pro ducing genuine news stories which no office rules against press agent yarn could, keep out of newspapers, and because he educated the editors In most of tho large cities In Kurope to what the reading public was entitled to expect In the way of advance infor mation about circuses. When he was once asked what was the best story ho had ever landed he said: "I think It was the one about the protest of the freaks. We were In ondon ut the time and 1" heard that the woman who molded statues out of butter objected to being classified as a freak, although she was In that de partment of the show. She wa a respectable llttlo body, very fussy about the respect whlen should be ac corded her a3 a solid member of the lower middle class. I learned that others were dissatisfied, too, and I thought that Mr. Barnum should be apprised o the fact. "I encouraged the freaks to protest. as a matter of fair play. I communi cated the state of their feelings to the London newspapers. The freaks held a meeting and protested once more that they were being unjustly looked down on. "Hews" was Cabled. "Wft appealed to the British people for a better name than freak, and finally a canon of the English church suggested prodigy. It was accepted, although he must have failed to eee that 1 had already referred to the 'wonders "as the 'peerless prodigies of pnysicai pnenomcnons. ine rreai; signs were taken down. The news of tho protect sprea4fal over England and the continent nnd was cabled to this side of the water. It awakened Interest In the breasts of all who thought that they were not receiving the respect due their station." Mr. Hamlltpn's faith In publicity was so great that when P. T. Barnum lay dying he decided that a good press coup would brace up the old man, and ha encouraged the Evening Sua to print his obituary In advance. Mr. Hamilton took the paper with four columns of reading matter and a num ber of pictures to the bed of the aged showman. It revived him after oxygen had failed. Four days later he died, but his physicians agreed that the premature obituary and prolonged his life for that period. On March 2, 1907. on his retirement, a unique dinner In honor of Tody Hamilton was held at the Waldorf-Astoria, Charles E. Hughes, then gov ernor of tho state, was one of the guests and speakers. In his speech on that occasion the press agent said: Wo Vain Beg-rwte. "In my long, useful, truthful, faith ful, funny and fashionable career as clrcua press agent I have no vain re gret and cankering remorse to keep me awake nights. 1 can He down with the clear conscience of a man who has done Ms duty. I nave grabbed more space for nothing than any other man you know. Therefore, you are, as rep resentative newspaper 'men and future publishers, abundantly justified In gathering here tonight to cat, drink and be merry over -the event of my retirement from business. "I have been on Park Row now for 45 years. My father was a reporter and newspaper proprietor, as was also my . grandfather. And I, alas! have owned four publications, but I kept out of Jail. In the first stages of my wua reportoriai career I did wont on the New York Sun. 1 look back now on that early reportoriai training as the firm foundation of my subsequent successful career as press agent." Mr. Hamilton wag born In this city on June 23, 1847, and educated at St. Francis Xavler and Fordham univer sity. After doing newspaper work for several years he made a fortune of $500,000 In real estate and stock spec , ulatlon, but later lost It. In 1876 he became press agent and general man ager of the New York Aquarium. In 1881 he found his true vocation when lie took his post with Barnum and Bailey. New York Times. Shot Dead and Robbed.

To lovers of exquisite needlework no one in Portland is better known than Mrs, E. M. Hammond, proprietor of the Needlecraft Shop. Her story proves again the truth of those words of Pope, "As the twig is bent, the tree Is inclined" she comes of a race of needlewomen and ever since she could hold a needle in her tiny fing ers she has loved to sew. "And yet when I think of the wonderful work which my father's sisters did. I do not deem myself fit to be classed as a needlewoman." Mrs. Hammond was born In New York state, and by the time she reached the age of 19 she entertained ideas of going to the city to try her skill in competition and when a con test was announced by a big New York firm for excellence In needle work she entered and not only took a prize but received a position with the Edwin A. Fitch company which she kept for two years. Spends Tims Traveling-. Following that she spent some time in traveling through New York, Massachusetts and Conneticut organiz ing classes and giving class and priv ate instruction. Again she associated herself with a New York house where she remained for several years and then came the yearning for the west which I find has been felt by so many of the suc cessful women and she Etarted with Portland as her objective place. For three years she was buyer for the art needlework department of the Llpman, Wolfe & Co. store. In 1915 she se- tahlished the Needlecraft Shoo. The success of this shop Is proved In its rapid expansion which has nec essitated Several moves and now Mrs. Hammond announces thac within the next few months Ehe will elose her re tail shop and devote her entire time to wholesale business which promises more remuneration and less confining work. She said: "Originality is always in demand in HOW BOBBY FINDS HIS BIRTHDV.
