The site pur chased by the association Is a part of the land grant to I'alne by the state of New-York In 1784. In front of the bulldlftg stands the Tom Paine monu ment, erected eighty-five years ago by Gilbert Vale, u New York editor, au thor of the earliest authentic "Life of Thomas pulne" published In America. It Is surmounted by a bronze bust, placed there at the Paine celebration of 1600. Near by Is the spot where Paloe was burled In 1809. Across the street from the building Is a lake which will be converted Into a park In Palne's memory. , On the ground floor of the Thomas Paloe Memorial' building will be a museum, which will contain a great array of Paine memorabilia, Including first and rare editions of his several works, and correspondence with Wash ington, Adams, Jefferson and other leaders of Revolutionary times. Palne's life story la very much more like fomance than fact. He was born In 1737 In Thetford, England. His father was a Quaker. In early life he was a stay-maker and a teacher. Then he become a petty government official and was dismissed for trifling Irregu larities. He arrived In Philadelphia tn November of 1774. He became editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine, which began publication in January of 1770. Palne's pamphlet, "Common Sense," was published January 10, 1770, In Philadelphia, and made him for the moment the beat-known and most-ln tluentlul writer in America. Although actual hostilities had been In progress since the armed clash of April 10, 1775, at Lexington and Concord, the Revolution was still resistance to tyranny rather than a war for Inde pendence. Despite obvious exaggera tions and crudities. Palne's arguments for Independence were unanswerable. His pamphlet doubtless turned the scale. Anyway, alx months later, con gress adopted the Declaration of In dependence. Paine enlisted as a private In the Continental army In 1776. In Decem ber of that year—Just before Washing ton crossed the Delaware —Paine wrote by the campflre on a drumhead the Immortal words of "The Crista. No. I," which begin: These are the times that try men's souls. General Washington had that fight ing cry read to the army. No wonder Washington and his "Ragged Conti nentals" surprised, outgeneraled and walloped the British at Trenton and Princeton I In 1777 Paine was made secretary of the committee of foreign affairs of the Continental congresa. In 1781 he and John Laurens went to Prance for aid, returning with money and sap pi lea. About this time Paine was liv ing at Bordentown, N, J., neglected by congress, despite the efforts of Wash ington and others In hla behalf. In 1784 the state of New York gave Paine a confiscated Loyalist estate" of 277 acres at New Rocheile. Pennsyl vania voted him 900 pounds sterling. Congress eventually voted him SB,OOO. "not as a payment for services, bat as a gratuity.'' The appearance In ITRO of Burke's "Reflections on the French Revolu tion," called forth a reply from Paine with the title, "The Right* of Man."

In Decem ber of 1792 Paine was tried for high treason In the Court of the King's Bench. He was ably defended by Brsklne. but was convicted and out lawed. Paine, In the meantime, had gone to France. There three departments chooe him as their delegate to repre sent them In the convention. Paine was one of the nine members who com posed the first committee to draw up a constitution for France. He was an active and prominent member of the convention. He tried hard to save i/ouls XVI from the gnlllotlne and thereby Incurred the enmity of Robes pierre and other Terrorist leaders. , Paine was arrested December 27, 1798, by opier of the committee of public ssfety snd was confined In the Luxemburg.

His "Age of Reason" had been pub lished in Paris in 1794-5. It was this work, with Its violent assault on the Bible and on orthodox Christianity that caused Paine to be branded as an atheist The Americans of the early years of the Nineteenth century were positive that a man who had written such things and had taken part in the horrors of the French Revolution'must necessarily be a very bad man in ev ery way. So they would have none of him. He died In New York city June 8, 1800. Palne's will provided that he should be buried on his New Rochelle estate, with a headstone bearing his name and age and Inscribed, "Author of "Com mon Sense.'" He was so burled and for ten years his remains lay undis turbed. Thereafter their experiences were as strange as those of Thomas Paine In life. In 1819 William Cobbett, a noted English radical, was in America. In the dead of night he dug up Palne's coffin and took It to England. In ex planation he said: America has failed to honor the great man - from whose brain sprang the Idea of American independence. Paine wai born In Thetfoj-d, Norfolk* ■hire, and all England will rejoice to honor this mat thinker and 'philoso pher. Cobbett had plans for an Impressive funeral and for a magnificent tomb. Rut some way or other England did not grow over the plans to honor the author of the pamphlet that had so much to do with the lons of her American colonies. The upshot was that Cobbett placed the coffin In the attic of his home at Normandy Farm In Surrey. Cobbett died In 1836 and soon afterward the Paine coffin disappeared. In the meantime, the Thomas Paine National Historical association had been formed In America and the late Moncure D. Conway, Its first president and the author of the most exhaustive biography of Paine, was conducting a persistent and comprehensive search for Palne's remains. He obtained In London In 1900 «*»•») oortlon of Palne's brain. WrtTTKui ai. Van Der Weyde, now president of the associa tion, took up the search and secured some locks ot Palne's hair. It now seems certain that the rest of the re mains were secretly buried In Eng land In the Seventies. , Thomas Paine, genius, ablator, phil osopher. patrltt—and "atheist"—evi dently knew himself and his own work.

The bloodstained coat reputed to have been worn by Lincoln when he was shot has apparently been discov ered In two different places. It was sold in the Philadelphia auction rooms of Stan V. Henkeis to a Mr. Douglas for $6,500. But no sooner had the sale been accomplished than the Historical Society of Chicago rose to declare that Mr. Henkeis could jot have disposed of Lincoln's last suTt, since the (Noth ing In question was said to have lain in the show rooms of the society for years. Both sets of garments are ostensibly authentic. Both are supported by a long line of gilt-edged affidavits. One collector said, perhaps not in all seri ousness, that the only possible con clusion to draw is that Lincoln was in the habit of wearing two suits at the same time. Whatever happens to be the truth about the sartorial habits of Lincoln, he is not the only moderp hero who to supposed to have worn two coats at once. Relics of Queen Mary. There ' are in existence today two cloaks, one blue and one tan, each re puted to have been worn by' Wellington at Waterloo. Just as there has al ways been dispute and contention about the Holy Grail and the bones of the ancient saints, there Is dispute and contention about the 'private posses sions of saints and heroes of our own era. There Is, however, this difference. The older relics went* to the bravest warrior; the newer go" to the highest bidder. Bloodstained relics seem-particular ly prized. One of the most famous mementos of Mary Stuart Is a spat tered dress that was discovered at Hoiyrodd at the end of the last century, concealed behind a tapestry in Mary's apartment. It Is supposed to be the dress worn by Mary ,at the moment that her lover-adviser, Rlzzlo, was stabbed by Oeorge Douglas, and the blood is said to be Rlzzlo's blood. In the Bateman museum, Derbyshire, there Is' "a small portion of the skin of Lord Darnley, a husband of Mary, Queen of Scots." Still another shows a morbid Interest among relic hunt ers.' Mary was beheaded In 1587, and her body was transferred In 1612 from Peterborough to Westminster. En route some on* stole a handle pff her coffin. "This, elegant .relic,'* said the Portfolio In 1822, "passed through many bands until In 1809 It was sold In the auction of Mr. W. Wilson." ' Nelson's Bloodstained Coat. Not all of the Mary Stuart relics are gruesome. At least one bears teati, mony of her warm and affectionate na ture. It Is ft beautifully enameled trinket she gave to George Gor don, fourth lord of Huntly, while she was tn Paris. It is In form of a cupld with his bow drawn and one foot poised on a heart transfixed by a dart. The hear bears the Inscription, "Will ingly wounded." The heart Is con nected by a skein of sil|( to a small Ivory skull, to which la attached a lock of Marys' ialr. ' Lord Nelson also left a bloodstained coat, which was used by an astute sovereign to win the favor of the Eng lish people. Other Nelson Relics. The coat was described in the Spec tator of those days: "It Is the undress uniform of a vice admiral, lined with silk, with lace at the cuffs and epau lettes." And, to make It farther val uable, "the coat and waistcoat are stained In several places with the hero's blood." The Interest In Nelson relics has ex tended to the Twentieth century. In 1001 a fresh group of them was pre sented to the Greenwich hospital by J. A. Mullens of Flrgrove, Weybridge. His generosity elicited praise from Earl Nelson, which prompted the fol lowing words from Mr. Mullens: "In handing to the»museum at Greenwich the box In which the free dom of the city of London was pre sented to Lord Nelson and the sword hilt given him by the captains who fought at the Nile and to the United Service Institution the Copenhagen wa ter coolers, and his fork and knife, I have done what every Englishman In my place would have been eager to do." The Hglr of Greatness. _ Among the relic hunters, locks of the hair of famous people seem to rank next In popularity to bloodstained clothing. And are certain heroes whose hair seems especially sought after.. One collector says be has seen enough authentic Thackeray hair .to stuff two mattresses. In the Rosenbach collection there are locks from the scalps of Thack eray, Mpoleon, Byron and Shelley, and one bright yellow curl frorq the bead of Allegra, the daughter of Byron and Lady Claire Clalrmont Byron himself had a. weakness for collect ing such trophies, and one of his cher- I shed possessions was a single hair from the head of Lucresla Borgia, which was carefully mounted and marked with the inscription.
