the sincerity of her sons' adherence to the doctrine she had taught in the infancy of her statehood, but Richard Hawes, true. to principle as the magnetic needle to the pole, quietly took his position, and through good and evil report efficiently worked to maintain the constitution as it was written and interpreted by the men who made it."

After the war, shattered in health and in fortune, Richard Hawes returned to his old home, and was immediately elected county judge by his old constituents, which position he held until the time of his death, which came in his eighty-third year. His eldest son, General Morrison Hawes, was a classmate of Grant and Longstreet at West Point, graduating from that academy at the same time with them. He served throughout the Mexican War, and at the breaking out of the Civil War was in command of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, when he was offered a commission as brigadier general in the Union Army by Secretary of War Stanton, his wife's uncle. He chose, however, to resign and accepted the position of colonel of the Second Kentucky, afterward being transferred to the Division of Texas and promoted to the rank of brigadier general in the Confederate Army, surrendering his command upon the cessation of hostilities at Galveston in 1865. Two of his brothers were killed in the Confederate Army.

General Morrison Hawes' youngest brother, Smith Nicholas Hawes, was made a lieutenant in the Confederate Army at the age of seventeen, receiving his commission at Maryville, Missouri, in 1861. He was later promoted to the rank of captain and served. until the close of the war, being severely wounded at the battle of Shiloh. After the war Captain Hawes returned to Kentucky, where he married Susan E. Simrall. Two boys were the result of this marriage, Harry B. Hawes, the subject of this sketch, and Richard S. Hawes. The Simrall family is well known in Kentucky and the South, four generations in a direct line having been distinguished lawyers and jurists.

Financial reverses overtaking the Hawes family, young Hawes left Kentucky and came to St. Louis to carve out his own fortunes. He arrived in St. Louis in his seventeenth year without acquaintances, friends or money, but accidentally met an old army comrade of his father, who secured a posi

tion for him in the Third National Bank. Continuing his studies at spare times, he prepared himself for the study of the law. In the meantime his father died and Harry B. Hawes brought his widowed mother and younger brother to St. Louis. He was later enabled, through the assistance of Honorable John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, an old friend and legal adviser of the family in Kentucky, to secure a Federal appointment which occupied but a few hours each day, enabling him to attend the lectures at the St. Louis Law School, and at the same time provide for the support of himself and family. He graduated from this institution, representing his class at its closing exercises, and entered into the practice of law in the office of Governor Charles P. Johnson.

Being sent as a delegate from Missouri to the Trans-Mississippi congress which met at Salt Lake, in Utah, he there met and formed the acquaintance of Honorable Lorin A. Thurston, the representative of the Hawaiian Republic, who was in this country for the purpose of securing the annexation of those islands to the United States. The question of annexation was presented to the convention for its approval or rejection, and Mr. Hawes entered into an active debate in behalf of annexation. The resolutions were passed and he returned to St. Louis. Two months later the Hawaiian government offered him a position in its diplomatic service, under the direction of Honorable Lorin A. Thurston and President Dole. The position was accepted by Mr. Hawes, and he remained in the employ of the little republic until the islands were annexed to the United States. During his engagement in this work for over a year, he spoke in the leading cities of the South, and was instrumental in disclosing the operations of the sugar trust in its attempt to defeat the annexation of the islands, which seriously threatened its monopoly. His speech before the Jefferson Club on sugar trust interference went through three editions, over 40,000 copies of it being distributed throughout the United States.

Resuming the practice of the law, Mr. Hawes associated himself with three other young lawyers under the firm name of Johnson, Houts, Marlatt & Hawes, this firm now being recognized as the strongest among the younger members of the bar in the city. Mr. Hawes had inherited a natural aptitude for

politics, and taking a decided stand against the old boss system in his adopted city, he organized what is now known as the Jefferson Club, which at the present time controls the politics of St. Louis. After eight years' struggle with the old-line bosses, they were defeated in the primaries of May, 1900, and the authority of the organization built up by the young Kentuckian was made supreme. In 1898 Mr. Hawes was appointed police commissioner by Governor Stephens, who had been his personal friend for a number of years. He was immediately elected president of the board and in the same year he caused to be introduced and secured the passage through the Legislature of a new police law increasing the size of the department to meet the growing needs of his city. The passage of this bill attracted the attention of the whole State, the conflict becoming bitterly partisan, and was the sole topic of conversation in political circles while it was pending, and has since become a fruitful source of discussion.

Although not thirty years of age, with a position of tremendous responsibility placed upon him as president of the police board, Mr. Hawes was not found lacking in the necessary executive capacity or ability. In the spring and summer of 1900, the great street railway strike, involving the employment of 3.500 men and extending over street railroad tracks of over 400 miles in length, and having the active support of 40,000 union workmen in St. Louis, presented the greatest struggle between labor and capital ever witnessed in America. Mr. Hawes' position as president of the police board brought him between these two conflicting interests. Pursuing a fair and impartial course as an officer of the law, without injustice to one side or the other, he was made the storm center of attack and abuse from both sides. His political opponents, taking advantage of the crisis then upon the city, sought by the arts of demagogery to inflame the public mind against him. The trouble was finally settled with little loss of life or property, and the public, having had time and opportunity to review the strike in a dispassionate manner, generally approved his conduct through this critical and dangerous period. Mr. Hawes was reappointed police commissioner by Governor Dockery, in 1901.

On November 15th, 1899, Mr. Hawes mar

ried Miss Eppes Osborne Robinson, of Washington, D. C. Her family, like his, was distinguished in the early politics of the Old Dominion, she being descended from the Randolph, Eppes and Giles families of that State. Her great-grandfather, William Branch Giles, was one of the early Governors of Virginia, a staunch supporter of Thomas Jefferson and a bitter foe of Hamilton. In the debates of the constitutional convention, and later on, during Hamilton's administration as Secretary of the Treasury under Washington, he was fiercely assailed for his monarchical tendencies by Giles of Virginia.

Partisan papers take delight in referring to Mr. Hawes as "young Mr. Hawes," and in assailing him for his Democratic partisanship. The serious charge of being a young man seems, however, to have been the only charge of incompetency that they could substantiate. Firm in his convictions, aggressive in action, warm in his friendships and determined in opposition, he has made many friends and enemies in his brief period in public life. As a forensic orator and public speaker, he is plausible and convincing. His rapid rise in politics in St. Louis, he being now the recognized leader of his party in the city, has brought with it jealousies and animosities as a natural consequence. He has refused nominations for public office, and has often stated to his intimate friends that his life work shall be in the line of his chosen profession, the law.

Hawkins, Charles P., lawyer and legislator, was born February 15, 1860, in Fulton County, Kentucky, son of Dr. James M. and Matilda (Harris) Hawkins. His father, who was a native of Tennessee and was reared in that State, was a brother of ex-Governor Hawkins, who achieved much distinction as a public man. Dr. J. M. Hawkins removed from Tennessee to Kentucky and there married. He was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in early life, but later engaged in the practice of medicine in Fulton County, Kentucky, where he became very prominent in his profession and accumulated a handsome fortune. The son was educated at McKenzie College, Tennessee, and after his graduation from that institution began reading law in Fulton County, Kentucky. In 1879 he came from there to Missouri and established his home in New Mad

rid, where he completed his law studies with his brother, who was a member of that bar. He was admitted to practice in 1880, and began his professional career at New Madrid, where he remained until the fall of 1882. He then removed to Malden, in Dunklin County, and from there removed to Clarkton, in the same county, in 1884. At the last named place he was engaged in private practice until 1886, when he was elected prosecuting attorney, and removed to Kennett, the county seat of Dunklin County, which has since been his home. Here he has since practiced successfully, and has gained a prominent place among the lawyers and public men of his county. In 1888, he was the nominee of the Democratic party for representative in the General Assembly, and was elected to that position by a handsome majority. He was reelected in 1892, serving four years in all in the Legislature, and becoming recognized not only by his immediate constituency, but throughout the State, as an able legislator and a public servant of unquestioned integrity. As a member of the Democratic party he has been devoted to its principles, has participated actively in many campaigns, and has contributed his full share to the advancement of its interests. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and of the orders of Freemasons and Odd Fellows. In April, 1884, he married Miss Augusta Waltrip, daughter of Judge James M. Waltrip, a prominent citizen of Dunklin County. Four children have been born of this union.

Hawks, Cicero Stephens, first Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Missouri, was born in New Berne, North Carolina, May 26, 1812. He received his education at the University of North Carolina, and was graduated at the age of eighteen. He studied law, but when almost ready for admission to the bar he abandoned it for theology under the direction of his brilliant brother, Rev. Francis Lister Hawks, then rector of St. Thomas parish. He was made deacon December 8, 1834. and was ordained priest, July 24, 1836. His first parish was Saugerties, New York. In 1837 he was transferred to Trinity Church, Buffalo, New York, and in October, 1843, accepted the rectorship of Christ Church, St. Louis, Missouri, and entered on his duties. January 1, 1844. Missouri then was under

the jurisidiction of Rt. Rev. Jackson Kemper, missionary Bishop of Missouri and Indiana; but the extent and rapidly increasing population of that region made it necessary to divide the jurisdiction, and the entire State was set off as an independent diocese, under the name of the Diocese of Missouri, and the new rector of Christ Church, St. Louis, was elected its first bishop, and he was consecrated October 20, 1844. The poverty of the new diocese compelled Bishop Hawks to continue to be rector of Christ Church as well as Bishop of Missouri, and he discharged the duties of both offices for more than ten years. In twenty-three years he organized more than twenty parishes and missions, and the number of communicants increased under his pastorate to nearly 2,000. He was exemplary in the discharge of his duties as pastor of a parish as well as those of the episcopate. During the pestilence of 1849, Bishop Hawks remained at his post, ministering to the sick and dying and burying the dead. In the midst of his arduous labors he has found time for the exercise of those literary talents which were a family possession. He edited Harper's "Boys' and Girls' Library" and Appleton's "Library for My Young Countrymen," and was the author of the little work, "Friday Christian, or the First Born of Pitcairn's Island." In 1867 Bishop Hawks began to show symptoms of the disease which terminated his life. He continued, however, to discharge the duties of his office till 1868, when he was compelled to request the assistance of Bishop Vail, of Kansas, in the visitation of the diocese. The last service of the church in which he participated by his presence was on the Sunday before Easter, April 5th. He was then too weak to take any part in the service, and he died on Sunday, April 19, 1868. Bishop Hawks was twice married, first, to Miss Jones, of Hillsboro, North Carolina. Mrs. Hawks died in 1855. Second, he married Miss Leonard, daughter of Judge Abiel Leonard, of Howard County, Missouri, who survived him.

Haynesville.-A small village in the southern part of Clinton County, laid out in 1842 by Solomon Kimsey, W. F. Franklin and J. R. Coffman. It was a thriving and prosperous place until the Cameron Branch Railroad was built, running a mile distant,

in 1867, when most of its business and many of its inhabitants moved to the town of Holt, on the railroad, in Clay County. Since then. Haynesville has been an unimportant village of about seventy-five population.

Hayti. A village on the St. Louis, Kennett & Southern Railway, in Little River Township, Pemiscot County, four miles south of Gayoso. It has several sawmills near by, and six general stores, a school and a church. Population, estimated (1899), 600.

Hazard, Rebecca Naylor, a recognized leader among the philanthropic women of St. Louis, was born November 10, 1826, in Woodsfield, Ohio. She was receiving her education at Marietta Female Seminary, but left it at the age of fourteen years, her family removing to Cincinnati, and thence to Quincy, Illinois, where she was married, in 1844, to William T. Hazard, of Newport, Rhode Island. In 1850 Mr. and Mrs. Hazard removed to St. Louis, and soon after her coming Mrs. Hazard became interested in the neglected young girls of the city. Becoming a director in the Girls' Industrial Home, she entered upon the work of building up that institution. For five years she was engaged in this work, but upon the breaking out of the Civil War a more imperative demand was made upon her activities by the sufferings of the sick and wounded soldiers. In the winter of 1863-4 she was appointed by the Union League, with five other ladies, to inaugurate the movement which resulted in the memorable Sanitary Fair. At the close of the war she aided in founding the Guardian Home for unfortunate women. In May, 1867, she assisted in forming the Woman Suffrage Association of Missouri. She has filled the offices of secretary and president of the Missouri Association, and in 1878 was elected president of the American Woman Suffrage Association. 1873 the Association for the Advancement of Women was formed in New York, and Mrs: Hazard has been associated as vice president for Missouri for more than twenty years. She assisted in forming in St. Louis the School of Design. She is a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and has been known in politics also as a pronounced bimetallist. For several years she has lived in comparative retirement in the

country, near Kirkwood. For the past sixteen years she has met at her home a class of ladies who devoted themselves to the study of the poets, Homer, Dante, Goethe and Shakespeare, and have also given attention to the philosophic writings of Plato and Hegel. In early years she was attached to the Methodist Church, but in middle life she became imbued with a love of the doctrines of Emanuel Swedenborg. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Hazard have been Charles F., who graduated from the Washington University and died in early manhood; Nathaniel, well known in the musical circles of St. Louis; William T., Jr., who graduated from Yale College in the class of 1871, and is now connected with the Missouri Car & Foundry Company, and two children, who died in infancy. A grandchild, Grace Hazard, a student at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, is also a member of Mrs. Hazard's family.

Hazeltine, Ira S., lawyer, farmer and member of Congress, was born at Andover, Vermont, July 13, 1821. He was educated in the schools of his native State, and when a young man removed to Wisconsin, where he taught school for three years, then studied. law and spent ten years lecturing on scientific and reformatory subjects, and also took an active part in building up Richland Centre, the county seat of Richland County, in Wisconsin, and introducing improved farming into the State. He served in the Wisconsin Legislature. In 1870 he came to Missouri and located upon a farm near Springfield and directed his attention to the cultivation of fruit and the rearing of sheep. He participated in the Granger movement, and was also made a member of the executive committee of the Missouri State Grange. In 1880 he was elected to the Forty-seventh Congress as a Greenbacker-Republican over James R. Waddill, Democrat, the vote being 22,787 for Hazeltine and 22,680 for Waddill.

Hazen, William L., secretary and manager of the Pacific Coast Lumber & Supply Company, of Kansas City, was born January 29, 1848, in Cincinnati, Ohio. His parents removed to Kansas when he was a youth, and he soon afterward entered the employe of Ingersoll & Rush, lumber dealers at Leavenworth, where he gained his first

experience in the business which now engages his attention. He left these employers to take a clerical position in the United States quartermaster's department at Fort Leavenworth, under Generals Eaton, Van Vliet and Saxton. He manifested such aptitude for his duties, and acquired so great familiarity with all the details of the intricate business to which he had been introduced, that he was soon sent to the terminal points of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and of the Denver & Rio Grande Railways, to superintend the shipment of army supplies thence to the various military posts in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. He was continued in this important position until wagon transportation was rendered obsolete through railway extensions. In 1880 he located at Wichita, Kansas, where he became engaged with the Chicago Lumber Company, for whom he conducted yards at the car works, and then in the city proper. With many others, he met with reverses in the reaction following the speculative period, but suffered no impairment of energy or damage to reputation for integrity. He then became associated with E. R. Rogers, with whom he conducted a commission lumber business under the firm name of Hazen & Rogers, handling yellow pine almost exclusively, from the mills of the Long-Bell Lumber Company. During 1892-3 Mr. Hazen was engaged for the latter corporation as a salesman in western Kansas and Oklahoma. January 1, 1894, the Pacific Coast Lumber & Supply Company began business in Kansas City, and Mr. Hazen was placed in charge as secretary and manager, a two-fold position which he continues to occupy. He is regarded as one of the most accomplished judges and handlers of lumber in the market, and as possessing exceptional ability in extending and maintaining trade relations throughout an extensive and constantly increasing territory. Uniformly fair and liberal in his dealings, his broad intelligence and geniality of disposition attach to him firmly the friends once gained, and he is equally esteemed in business affairs and in the social relations of life.

Heard, John T., lawyer and member of Congress, was born at Georgetown, Missouri, October 29, 1840, and was educated at the common schools and the State University, graduating in 1860. He then read

law in the office of his father, George Heard, and practiced in partnership with him at Sedalia. In 1872 he was elected to the State Legislature, and served as chairman of the committee on ways and means, and was a member of the committee on judiciary, and the committee on the State University. In 1881 he was elected without opposition to the State Senate, serving for four years, during which time he prosecuted the claims of the State against the general government on behalf of the fund commissioners. In 1884 he was elected, as a Democrat, to the Fortyninth Congress, and was re-elected in succession to the three following Congresses, receiving in his last election 24,027 votes to 16,365 cast for E. L. Redmond, Republican.

Hedburg, Eric, mining engineer, was born May 28, 1859, at Soderhamn, Sweden. His parents were A. O. and A. B. (Johansdocter) Hedburg. The father, who was a machine works owner and manager, died in 1879, aged thirty-six years, and the mother died in 1865, on the family homestead in Enonger, Sweden. The Hedburg family originated in Heidelburg, Germany. Among them were ironmasters dating from 1780, who emigrated to the north of Sweden to give instruction in iron manufacture. members of the family divided an estate; two continued in the iron trade, one engaged in the lumber and two in mercantile business in the city of Gavle, and another entered government service as postmaster in the same place. From this family descended the Hedburgs in America, four in number, of whom there are two in Joplin and one in California. Another, a captain in the United States Army, died recently. Eric Hedburg attended the common schools in Enonger, Sweden, until he was fifteen years of age. He then entered the School of Mining in Bergslagen, studying metallurgy and mechanics, with two years of practical work in the manufacture of iron, and at the age of nineteen years received the degree of assistant ironmaster. At a later day he supplemented his technical studies with a six months' course in the School of Mines at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After his graduation in Sweden he engaged in extensive travel to add to his knowledge of his chosen profession. In 1878 he went to England, first to London and then to Shields, famous
