  Eli WHITNEY, Jr., son of the inventor of the cotton gin, was born in New Haven,
Conn., where he attended the public schools and was fitted for college. Entering
Princeton he was graduated in the class of 1841. The following year he took his
father's business, viz., the manufacture of arms for the United States government.
In 1856 he ceased this branch of his manufacturing business, but resumed it again at
the breaking out of the civil war in 1861, and continued it until 1866. The WHITNEY
Arms Co., of which he is secretary and assistant treasurer, has manufactured thou-
sands of muskets, rifles and revolvers of the most improved models. The company
has also made many thousands of military arms for foreign governments, including
muzzle-loading, breech-loading, magazine and repeating rifles. Mr. WHITNEY has
been a member of both branches of the New Haven city government and a member
of the board of public works. He was appointed one of the commissioners of the
English exposition of 1862. He constructed from 1859 to 1861 the New Haven Water
Works, and much of the work was done on his own credit, though built on contract
for the New Haven Water Company, which organization he created. He has made
many improvements in fire arms of all sorts and patented them, and has made
improvements in machinery for making arms. He was on the Republican electoral
ticket in Connecticut as presidential elector at large in the November election of
1892; res. 29 Elm St., New Haven, Conn.

  Moses Allis WHITNEY was born upon the side of one of those beautiful Vermont
hills where the eye reaches over hill and valley until it rests upon the distant White
Mountain range of new Hampshire. His boyhood until ten years of age was like
that of other wide-awake Green Mountain boys. At that time it entered his busy
brain to build, with the help of a mate, a dam across one of those icy cold dashing
streams which everywhere find their way down the hillside, and use the water  for a
swimming pond. This sport was followed up so vigorously, that before his parents
comprehended the danger, he was down with inflammatory rheumatism. This was
the beginning of a life-long trouble, which caused him to walk with crutch and cane.
From the time he was first taken until nearly 25 years of age, he was released from
his bed but a short season at a time, when his old enemy would bring him down
again.  At about this time, he thought himself well enough to go into business in
Pennsylvania. But he was soon brought back to his father's house, and his mother's
tender care, and again spent years of great suffering. When well enough to try
again he opened a small store in his native town. The general crash of '37 reached
him, and he had to close his doors. He then took his wife and two sons, Locke and
John, 2 and 1 year old, and started for northern Ohio. After leaving Albany, they
traveled by canal boat to Buffalo. At Lockport they were detained for some weeks
on account of a break in the locks, when his wife was taken sick with a fever, from
which she died some time after reaching their destination. The bereaved father
took his motherless boys back to his friends in Vermont, but he returned and opened
a store in Strongsville, O. Here, after several years, he married Miss Louisa FLETCHER,
and the boys were brought back from Vermont. Fearing the influence of the town
upon the character of his growing family of boys, he made another move westward,
this time settling upon a farm in northern Illinois. It was at a time when malaria
was almost universal in that state, and it took hold upon him with fearful effect.  It
brought upon him again the trouble of his earlier manhood, which after a long and
Painful illness, finally laid him to rest. He was a man of many sterling qualities,
and always took a high place in the esteem of all who knew him. Though not having
thorough school advantages, he was a natural scholar, and devoted much of the en-
forced idleness of his youth and earlier manhood to the study of ancient and modern
languages, the higher mathematics, etc. His church relations were with the Con-
gregationalists. From an old time Whig he very early espoused the cause of the
