and entered Yale with the Class of
Forty-Five. He was soon compelled
to withdraw on account of his health,
but entered again the next year with
the Class of Forty-Six. Circumstances
again compelled his withdrawal, this
time to complete his course by enter-
ing the Class of Forty-Eight in its
Senior year. Immediately after grad-
uation he became principal of the Acad-
emy at Colchester, a position which he
held until August 1850, when he re-
signed to accept the position of Tutor
at Yale. In 1854 he was made prin-
cipal of the Eaton School in New
Haven, and in 1855, on the foundation
of the present Hillhouse High School,
he was appointed principal. ‘This posi-
tion he held until July, 1868, when he
removed from New Haven to Ver-
mont, and then shortly after to Ithaca,
N. Y., where he kept a small but
strictly efficient preparatory school for
Cornell University. For the past ten
or fifteen years he has been living a
retired life in Plainfield, Conn.
_ The New Haven Register, in speak-
ing editorially of the late William
Kinne, says: “Mr.Kinne was a teacher
whose influence over his scholars rose
from two factors; first his own personal
character and afterwards his scholar-
ship. In character Mr. Kinne was out-
wardly stern and unbending. His man-
ner appeared ungracious and severe.
But as with many reared like him in
the strictest Puritan surroundings, this
was a mere mask, which disappeared
entirely on closer acquaintance. The
predominating trait of his character
was an unvarying, upright and down-
right, uncompromising directness and
honesty. This was coupled with great
force of will and contempt of littleness
and weakness. Mr. Kinne leaves be-
hind him a fragrant memory of a thor-
ough man, who never did or thought a
mean thing, and the fruitful work of a
teacher of youth, who taught through
his own life quite as many lessons as
through his books.”
ELISHA S. BOTTUM, 776.
Elisha S. Bottum, of mie Class of
Seventy-Six, died at Chicago, March
15, 1898. The news of his death will
attract the mournful attention of all
Yale men of his day, alike by reason
of his strong and forceful character,
and of the prominent position which
he had attained in the legal profession.
He was born at Norwich, Conn.,
July 24, 1854, and received his early
education at the Norwich Free Acad-
emy. He was a member of the Class
of Seventy-Six at Yale throughout its
course, taking a prominent position
both in scholarship and in the social
life of the College. After graduation,
he was appointed to the Douglas Fel-
lowship, the terms of which require
the incumbent to reside in New Haven
in the pursuit of non-professional
studies. As the holder of this scholar-
ship, Bottum remained in New Haven
until the close of the college year of
1877-1878. In 1870, he returned to
Norwich, where he taught school for
three years, and also studied for the
bar. In 1882, he was admitted to the
bar of Connecticut and in the following
year to that of Illinois; and since 1883
he has resided in Chicago, engaged in
the practice of the law. He was for
three years in the law office of the Hon.
Leonard Swett. In 1887, he com-
menced the practice of law on his own
account. In 1891, he was made Assis-
tant City Attorney of Chicago, as as-
sistant to the Hon. Jacob J. Kern, who
held the position of City Attorney.
On the 5th of December, 1892, Mr.
Kern having been made State’s Attor-
ney, Bottum was appointed to be his
assistant in that office. In this posi-
tion Bottum achieved great success,
and was recognized as one of the ablest
and most promising trial lawyers in
his city. He was counsel for the
People in the celebrated Coughlin case,
the trial of which lasted four months,
and attracted world-wide attention. In
1896, Bottum resumed the private
practice of the law, with every pros-
pect of new honors and success. He
was undoubtedly suffering from over-
work. His health, formerly robust,
began to fail several months ago, and
death has brought his career to an un-
timely close.
In 1889, he was married at Chicago
to Miss Marie Hibbler of that city.
His wife and three children of their
marriage survive him.

make a mistake in inquiring of
MOSELEY’S NEW HAVEN |
HOUSE. We have been pay-

of late to spreads, and the
experience of those who have
attended banquets at the hotel
has been very pleasant. ©

ceilings so high that the smoke
does not bother even very sen-
sitive eyes and the air remains
wholesome. One feels a lot
better the next day.
The house has been. very much
improved of late and it is indeed
a comfortable place now. If
you want to spend a few days
of spring in a beautiful New

SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN
A NEW ENGLAND LEADER
Clean, Independent, Able.
A COMPLETE AND INTERESTING NEWSPAPER. -
ESTABLISHED IN 1824 BY SAMUEL BOWLES
The public commendation and support
of THE REPUBLICAN were never
more general and cordial than they
have been in the past year. They
inspire its conductors to endeavor
constantly to make it better.
The cheapening of some of the ele-
ments in the cost of newspaper pro-
duction together with a generous
public patronage have enabled Tuer
REPUBLICAN to enlarge its outlay
for brains. Its total expenditures
steadily increase, and its readers are
now receiving a richer return for
their money than ever.
THE REPUBLICAN is in no sense a class
newspaper. It appeals to all sec-
tions of the community, excepting
alone the low and vicious. It is
keenly alive to the new problems
which attend the progress of civili-
zation. It recognizes the immense
value of corporate combinations of
capital in improving social condi-
tions. But it also appreciates that
the greatest danger to individual
freedom and democratic government
lies in the unrestricted operations of
aggregated wealth. It conceives one
of its chief missions as a _ public
newspaper to be the advocacy of the
rights of the plain people.
Tur REPUBLICAN reports the news of
Western New England, especially
Western Massachusetts, with the ut-
most thoroughness. Its general
news service is of the best. It de-
votes liberal attention to literature
and arts, to social, industrial and
scientific questions. THE Sunpay
REPUBLICAN contains each week
numerous magazine features of great
interest and value.
THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN presents a
carefully edited and arranged review
of the news and the choicest edi-
torial, literary and other features of
the Daily and Sunday. It is invalua-
ble for New Englanders away from
home and for all others who want a
wholesome, interesting and helpful
family newspaper.
