Hatch, John Porter, soldier, born in Oswego, 

 N. Y., Jan. 9, 1822; died in New York city, April 

 12, 1901. He was a descendant of Thomas Hatch, 

 who came to the New World about 1G34, and was 

 a great-grandson of Major Moses Porter, who 

 served in the battle of Saratoga. He was gradu- 

 ated at West Point in 1845, and entered the 3d 

 Infantry, serving with that regiment during the 

 Mexican War at Corpus Christi and at Palo Alto, 

 after which he took part in the campaign under 

 Gen. Scott, participating in the battles at Vera 

 Cruz, Contreras, and Churubusco, and in the tak- 

 ing of the city of Mexico, receiving three brevets 

 for gallantry. He became adjutant of the Mount- 

 ed Rifles, Nov. 1, 1847. At the close of the war 

 with Mexico, he accompanied his regiment on its 

 march from the Missouri river to Oregon, where 

 he served as acting assistant adjutant of the llth 

 Military Department, and explored the country 

 from Puget Sound to Klamath river. He was sent 

 in the autumn of 1850 to Washington city with 

 despatches from the Pacific, but in 1851 rejoined 

 his regiment, and early in 1852 accompanied it to 

 Texas, where he served two years in campaigns 

 against the Indians. Failing health led to his 

 being ordered to recruiting service until 1856, 

 when he again joined his regiment, and until 1861 

 was in New Mexico, during which time he partici- 

 pated in the campaigns against the Gila Apaches 

 and the Navajos, and explored the route for a 

 railway from the Rio Grande to the western bor- 

 der of Missouri. He was promoted to captain, 

 Oct. 13, 1860. Soon after the opening of the civil 

 war he was made brigadier-general of volunteers, 

 and he led a brigade at the first battle of Bull 

 Run. He then received command of the cavalry 

 under Gen. Banks, and served under that com- 

 mander during the campaign in the Shenandoah 

 valley, participating in the battle of Winchester, 

 ;and covered the retreat. At the second battle of 

 Bull Run he led a charge, and was wounded in 

 the head, but he recovered in time to participate 

 in the battle of South Mountain, where he com- 

 manded a division, and was shot in the leg while 

 leading his men, after two horses had been killed 

 under him. For gallantry at this battle he re- 

 ceived a medal of honor. While convalescing he 

 served on court-martial duty, had charge of the 

 draft rendezvous in Philadelphia, and organized 

 the cavalry depot in St. Louis, receiving his ma- 

 jority on Oct. 27, 1863. Early in 1864 he was 

 ordered to the Department of the South, where 

 he had the coast division, and cooperated with 

 Gen. Sherman in his march to the sea, participat- 

 ing in the operations against Charleston, to the 

 command of which city he was assigned after its 

 fall. He received the brevet of major-general of 

 volunteers at the close of the civil war, and after 

 being mustered out of that service he returned 

 to the 4th Cavalry, with which he served in Texas, 

 Indian Territory, Montana, and elsewhere. He

was promoted to colonel of the 2d Cavalry in 

 . I une, 1881, and was retired by action of law on 

 Jan. 9, 188(5, having gained a reputation as one 

 of the ablest of cavalry commanders, noted for 

 always having a keen edge upon his sabers. 



Haverly, John H., theatrical manager, born 

 in Pennsylvania in 1836; died in Salt Lake City, 

 Utah, Sept. 28, 1901. In his youth he was appren- 

 ticed to a shoemaker, but he ran away and be- 

 came a train-boy on the Pennsylvania Railroad. 

 He soon drifted into theatrical work as door- 

 tender, box-office man, and then as treasurer, and 

 at the age of twenty-one embarked on his own 

 account as the manager of a variety company in 

 Toledo, Ohio. In 1862 the Haverly and Cool 

 Burgess Minstrels were organized. In 1806 Mr. 

 Haverly purchased Cool Burgess's interest and 

 organized the first J. H. Haverly Minstrels. In 

 1878 he organized the United Mastodon Minstrels, 

 the largest company that had been got together 

 up to that time. They met with great success 

 in the United States, and later played a long 

 and successful engagement at Her Majesty's 

 Theater, London. Two years afterward Haverly's 

 Minstrels, numbering more than 100 people, at 

 Drury Lane Theater, and in 1883, Haverly's Col- 

 ored Minstrels, with 115 people, repeated in Lon- 

 don the success of this earlier company. In part- 

 nership with Samuel Colville, Mr. Haverly ar- 

 ranged the great scenic production Michael Stro- 

 goff at Booth's Theater. He successfully man- 

 aged many traveling companies in addition to the 

 minstrels that made him famous, and established 

 the first large theater circuit in the United States. 

 At one time he controlled and managed the Broad 

 Street and Chestnut Street Theaters, in Philadel- 

 phia; the Bush Street, Alhambra, and California 

 Theaters, in San Francisco; the New Chicago, 

 Hooley's, Adelphi, and Columbia Theaters, in Chi- 

 cago; Niblo's Garden, Fifth Avenue Theater, and 

 Fourteenth Street Theater, in New York; and 

 Haverly's Brooklyn Theater. Though eminently 

 successful in his amusement ventures, Mr. Hav- 

 erly lost several fortunes in Wall Street specula- 

 tion. In 1898 he became a bankrupt. Later he 

 devoted his attentions to mining in Colorado and 

 Utah. 



Hay, Adalbert Stone, diplomat, born in Cleve- 

 land, Ohio, Nov. 1, 1876; died in New Haven, 

 Conn., June 23, 1901. He was the eldest son of 

 Secretary of State John Hay, and was graduated 

 at Yale in 1898. After his graduation he spent 

 a few months in London as secretary to the am- 

 bassador, returning to Washington when his 

 father was called to the Cabinet. In December, 

 1899, young Hay was appointed United States 

 consul to Pretoria, to succeed Consul Macrum. 

 He left Pretoria in November, 1900, on leave of 

 absence from the State Department, returning to 

 Washington by way of London, and soon after 

 his arrival in the United States resigned his of- 

 fice. Shortly before his death he had accepted 

 the appointment as assistant secretary to Pres- 

 ident McKinley, and he was to have entered upon 

 his duties July 1. He was killed by falling acci- 

 dentally from a window. 



Hayden, Charles Henry, artist, born in Plym- 

 outh, Mass., Aug. 4, 1856; died in Belmont, Mass., 

 Aug. 4, 1901. He studied at the Museum of Fine 

 Arts in Boston, and later with Boulanger, Collin, 

 and Lefebvre in Paris. His work received honor- 

 able mention at the Paris Exposition in 1889, and 

 among other awards he received the Jordan prize 

 of $1,500 in Boston in 1895, a silver medal at the 

 Atlanta Exposition in 1895, and a bronze medal 

 at the Paris Exposition in 1900. His paintings 

 were chiefly landscape and animal studies.
