HISTORIC SWORDS
?
| A Pair That Did Duty at the Bat
tle of Bunker Hill.
ENEMIES IN THAT CONFLICT.
Now THay Arc Clasped In Peace In the
Maaaaehuaetta Hieter.cal Society
Building ? A Legacy From tba His
torian Praacott and Hia Wife.
The moat Impressive memorials of
? he battle of Hunker HW are tbe huge
?haft over in Charlestown and a pair
of swords which hang crossed like a
pair of clasped band* over the door of
the butMIng of the Massachusetts His
torical society.
Both the* swords were used In the
heroic diiei of Jnne 17, 1775. the one by
j 'he commander of the patriot forces,
fbe other by the captain of one of the
British war vessels which bombarded
i Cbariestown and protected the crow
fng of the English troops. And for
many years these swords, which had
not been beaten Into plowshares after
the Scriptural prophecy, bnt which had
j become the symbols of peace neverthe
less. hnng npon the wall of a (treat
American historian whose father was
the son of the American commander
| and whose wife was the granddaugh
ter of the British captain.
It wa* to those weapons that Thack
eray referred in the very first para
craph of his novel "The Virginians.'
which read* thn*:
i "On the libra rv wail of one of the
most famous writers of America there
j hang two crossed swords, which his
relatives wore In tlje crest War of In
'dependence The one sword was pal
lantiy drawn In the service of the
king. and the other was the weapon of
the brave and honored republican sol
dier The pnmeamr of the harmless |
trophy has earned for himself n name j
"like honored In his ancestors' country i
and his own. where (renins snch as his
bs* alwavs a peaceful welcome."
William lllckllng Frescott. author of
"The Conquest of Metieo." "Ferdinand
ami Isabella," ami other fascinating
'?'?tories, the era ndson In his psterna'
line of Colonel William I'rescott. wh*>
he(.| the Mil against the RrilNh grena
dier* and ?inve the world the fiixt taste
??f the valor of (he Continental* and
whose wife wa* the gratiddnughter of
< nptain John l.in?ee of the royal navy,
who commanded the ?lonp of war Fal
con during the battle, wa* the writer
to whom Thackeray referred
The only son of Colonel Frescott of
Runker Mill, named for his father, wa*
born thirteen years before the battle
was fought in Charlestown This son
was educated at Harvard, graduating
with the class of I7S3. Admitted to the
bar In 1787. he became eminent In his
profession and accumulated a fortune
ill* wife waa Catherine <;reen Uick
Hng. the daughter of a Boston mer
chant who was afterward consul In the
A *?res. The future historian waa their
son
Captain John t.lnxee on that April
day In I77S was charged with the duty
of cannonading the rebels and cover
inc the passBce of the British soldiers
The British *hlps of war were moored
at various points In front of tbe
Charlestown peninsula
Three year* after the battle, on Aug
8. 1778. the Falcon was sunk off I
Newport. II. l_ to prevent It* capture j
by the French fleet under Admiral
D'Kstalng.
This Captain l.lnxce's daughter, Han
nah Linaee. became the wife of one
of the leading merchants of Boston.
Thomas C Amory. and It was the
daughter of Thomas and Hannah
Amory, Susan Amory. whom William
n. Frescott married. Tbus the two
swords came Into the possession of one
family.
The historian had a degree of pride
in his ancestry and liked to discourse
upon occasion about these swords. In
this respect be resembled Sir Walter
Scott The weapons used to bang over
the recess of the great window in his
library n*ed commonly as a reception
room, where they were the more con
spicuous because of the thousands of
books, the busts and the pictures by
which they were surrounded It was
from the room of the scholar that the*
ancestral memorials were removed to
the quarters of the historical society.
That happened In this wise:
Tpon the death of the historian it
was found that the thirteenth item In
his will read thus: "The sword of
Colonel William Frescott. worn by
him in the battle of Bunker Bill, I
give to the Massachusetts Historical
society as a curiosity suitable to be
preserved among their collections, and
the sword which belonged to my
wife's grandfather. Captain TJnzee of
the British royal navy, who command
ed one of the enemy's ships during the
same battle. I give to my wife."
When William H. Gardiner on April
14. WW. sent a letter to Robert C.
Winthrop. president of the Historical
society, formally conveying the In for
mn Hon that the swords were to be
come the property of the Institution
he said as to the Linzee sword. "Mr*
Frescott a?d tbe other belrs of Cap
tain I<lnw> nnlte In requesting me to
present at the same time In their be
half the sword of their ancestor also,
that the two. enriched by all tbe mem
ories which now belong to them, may
?till hang together on Its walls."
The letter read, a cover was re
moved from a packet on tb? officers'
table, and tlsere were tbe swords,
crossed presumably as they bad been
on tbe library wall and as they are
today.? Boston Herald.

It Is perhaps a conservative estimate
that only 10 per cent of the entire drug
consumption In this country Is applied
to the purpose of blnntlng Incurable
pain. Thus 90 per cent of the opiates
used are. strictly speaking, unneces
sary. In the Innumerable case* that
have come under my observation 75 per
cent of the habitual users became such
without reasonable excuse. Beginning
with small occasional doses, they real
lied wit bin a few weeks that they had i
k?*t self control and could not discon
tinue the Use of the drug. ? Cbarten B.
