HAVE YOU SEEN the wonderful display of Old Eng- 
lish Silver at the shop of A. Schmidt & Son at Mag- 
nolia? It is beautiful and well worth-a visit with plenty 
of time to enjoy its merits. It consists of candlesticks, 
tankards, inkstands, epergnes, cups, cruets, trays and tea 
sets, a revelation of the richness of the period of George I] 
and 111, which it represents, nearly a century and a half 
ago,—exquisite in design, each piece a work of art with 
no detail forgotten. To possess a bit, or part of this 
collection would be happiness, indeed. PRISCILLA. 
Eben D. Jordan, head of the great dry goods firm of 
Jordan-Marsh Company of Boston, died at his summer 
estate, “The Rocks” at West Manchester, in the early 
evening of Tuesday of the past week. Mr. Jordan’s death 
came after an illness of several days following a paralytic 
shock on July 22. Untila few days before his death his 
recovery was looked for, but a turn for the worse came 
and he sank rapidly. Mr. Jordan was born in Boston, 
Nov. 7, 1857. His father, whose na:re he bore, was the 
founder of the great business house which has made grand 
strides under the leadership of Mr. Jordan. 
After an elementary education in the puplic schools 
of Boston Mr. Jordan entered Adams Academy, Quincy, 
from which he was graduated in 1876. For a time pre- 
vious to his entering Harvard in the class of 188o, he 
traveled in Europe with a tutor. Trouble with his eyes 
made necessary a sea voyage to California before com- 
pletion of the college course. Upon his return, much 
improved in health, Mr. Jordan entered the employ of the 
concern, which he later came to direct. He worked his 
way from the humble position of packer to head of the 
great concern, asking no favors and winning his way upon 
his merit. Two great monuments to Mr. Jordan’s inter- 
est in the artistic life of Boston are the Boston Opera 
House and the New England Conservatory of Music. 
Mr. Jordan was at one time regarded as the leading 
horse show man in America, but some years ago disposed 
of the larger part of his stable. 
Besides Mrs. Jordan, his son, Robert Jordan, and 
daughter, Dorothy, whose marriage to Douglas Munroe 
Robinson of New York City took place this spring, sur- 
vive him. 
A progressive and successful business man, a 
thorough sportsman and a genuine philanthropist, Mr. 
Jordan will be greatly missed not only in the commercial 
life of Boston and in the social life of Boston and the 
North Shore, but all New England will feel his loss. 
Rey. and Mrs. Basil Douglas Hall (Loraine Wash- 
burn) of Bronx, N. Y., are at Manchester for a fort- 
night’s visit with the latter’s father, Dr, Geo. H. Wash- 
burn, Masconomo st.
