BOSTON SHOE AND LEATHER MARREr.-Tn the boot
and snoe market there has been brisk movements
during the past week, and the shipments of goods
have been unprecedently large, amounting to some
$4,000 cases, which is fully 1000 In excess Of
the corresponding week last year. These heavy
shipments are due to the decline IN through freight
chaf8es 70 the South aud West, which has induced
manufacturers to hurry up their WORK and de-
spatch orders placed with them early in the season.

The news Of the death Of Mr. Geo Peabody
will be receive with sincere sorrow by the whole
world. Philantropists have more than nationa
importance Mr. Peabody's beneyolence WAS
especially of that character that blessed two
hemispheres. An American by birth, and En-
glishmsn By residence, he was a Man in higher
and truer sense.
Mr. Pe,body was IN at Danvers, Mass, in
1875 sad was therefore nearly seyenty-fve years
Of age. His parents were poor, and his early
education was entirely acquired at the district
schools In his eleventh year he entered gro
GERS shop in Danvers, where he remained four
years, and after spending few months with a
brother in Thetford, Vermont, he went to Geor-
cetown, DC, and engaged in business with an
uncle In 1914 he withdrew from this firm and,
in connection with Mr. Elisha Riggs, established
a wholesale dry goods trade. In the year follow
ing the house Of Peabody, Riggs and Company
was removed to Baltimore where it soon attracted
large business. and il le22 branch houses
were established in Philadelphia and New York
In 1927 Mr.. Peabody crossed the Atlantic for
the first time. and in 1887 he took up his resi-
dence permanently in England, Withdrawing
from the Baltimore firm soon Afterwards,
and establishing himself as a banker and
merchant in London, founding house that was
for many years the headquarters Of his country
men, and the centre Of American news and in
telligence Mr. Peabody amused very great
fortune through his business, nearly all Of
which, within the last ten years, has been given
away in aid Of charitable or educational objects.
The millions which be has devoted TO the anchor
alton Of the London poor. and the almost equal
ly generous contributions which be has made
towards helping on the work Of education in the
southern States. are freshly remembered in
stances Of his generosity So highly was his
benev,lence appreciated in London, that the
great city erected his statue in a public place.
1t was even rumored that some memorial Of him
was To a1orn the Vatican at Rome.
oar Geographic dispatches from various .
points indicate the general griefa Mr.. Peabody's
death. In many towns in Massachusetts, the bells .
were toliei, and other demonstrations Of sorrow .
were made.
