New York, Feb. 29.—William Dean
Howells, the dean of American fic-
tion and .probably the most widely
read American author of the present
time, will celebrate his 75th birth-
day tomorrow and on Saturday he
will be the guest of honor at a din-
ner given in honor of his birthday
by his friend's. President Taft and
several hundred men distinguished as
statesmen, writens, artists, jourual-
istsh and men of affairs In general
have expressed their willingness to
come to New York in order to attend
the Howells dinner.
William Dean Howells is probably
the best liked of all American auth-
ors. His charming personality, his
unvarying kindness and gentleness
and his almost excessive modesty
have won for him t'he love and admir-
ation of everyone who ever came in
! personal contact with him amid all
the jealousies, the backbitings, the
littlenesses which pervade the liter-
1 ary ranks, one never hears an unkind
word attached to the name of Willi-
am Dean Howells. Nor has anyone
ever heard Mr. Howells speak an un-
kind word of any fellowauthor. On j
the other hand his encouraging kind ]
ness has been a help to many young:
writers who have since then won
their place in literature.
William Dean Howells was born in
Martins Ferry, Ohio, March 1, 1837.
His father, who was a printer and a
newspaper proprietor and editor, was
a man of taste and refinement, a
scholar in his way and an original
and independent thinker, lie believ-
ed in the educative value of useful j
work and brought up his family to
be industrious aind frugal of both time
and money. The mother was a wom-
an of refined tastes and gentle man-
ners. Young Howells learned to Bet
type almost as soon as he learned to
read. But he also learned the im-
portance of truth and honesty and of
courage and gentle behavior. His li-
terary tastes found ample encourage-
ment in the kindred tastes of his par-
ents.
When still a lad Howells went to
work in his father's printing office
as a regular employee. For two j
years from 1849 to 1851, his father
1 ublished a daily paper in Dayton, O.,
and tha clever son soon became an all
around assistant in the work. But
the paper failed and young Howells
was compelled to seek other employ-1
ment. He 'became a printer at $4 a
week, but after hiis father recovered
his losses and started in the printing
business again, young Howells gave
up his position and again worked for
his father. During all that time the
young man carefully cultivated his
literary talent. He wrote many
ipoems, but most of them were re-
jected. After a few years of tentative
efforts to write poetry young How-
ells became convinced that hell did
not possess the true poet's gift and
promptly abandoned all efforts in the
direction, devoting himself entirely
to prose writing.
For two winters, from 1&58 to I860,
he resided in Columbus and acted as
correspondent for iseveral outside
newspapers. He was then offered
a position as city editor of a Cincin-
nati paper, but the position proved
uncongenial and he returned to Col-
j umbus, where he acceptel the 'posi-
tion of news editor of the State Jour-
nal. It was while he was connected
with that paper that Howell's wrote
his *Life of Lincoln." This book was
the young writer's first great suc-
1 cess. In the first place it broughht
hiim money enough to make a trip to
Boston, where he made the personal
acquaintances of Lowell, Holmes and
other eminent literary people and he
came in touch with the best literary
ideals of the time. In the next placfr
it won for him the position of Ameri-
can consul at Venice. His four years
residence at Venice was his real ed-
ucation. The knowledge of the world
the experience of men and manners
he gained there, formed the main
foundation upon which all his subse-
quent literary work was built.
After his return to the United
States Mr. Howells lived for som?
time in New York, engaged upon t'he
I Tribune and the Nation, in 18B6 he
I went to Boston to be assistant editor
I of the Atlantic. In 1872 he became
! it3 scle editor, and this position he
held until 1881. Since then he has
devoted his whole attention to liter-
I ature In 1871 he published his first
i and perhaps most successful novel,
j "Their Wbdding Journey." For five
I or six years he conducted "The Edi-
| tor's Study" in Hamper's 'Monthly and
I for a while acted as editor of the
Cosmopolitan magazine. His works
comprise more than sixty novels .es-
says biographical and aritical sketch-
es and literary reviewis and studies.
During the later years of his literary
career Yale. Harvard, Columbia and
Oxford have bestowed honorary de-
grees upon the venerable writer who,
notwithstanding his advanced years
is still enjoying excellent health and
the full faculty of his physical and
mental powers.
