THE CENTENNIAL.

The annual report Of the Cen
tennisl Board Of Finance conveys
the intelligence that thirty-one
nations have accepted invitations
to participate, and most of them
have appropriated money to make
all the requisite arrangements for
a proper display Of their contribu-
tions; that the Agricultural and
Horticultural halls will be COM
pleted in September, the Machin-
cry hall in October, and the Indus
trial and Memorial buildings
within the year. This is better
news than had been expected.
The Government building has yet
to be begun, and it will be quite
extensive and important, includ-
ing the contributions Of the Smith
sonian museum, Patent Office, In
dian Bureau, and War and Navy
departments. There will be many
other buildings on the ground
over which the Centennial Board
will have no more than general
control; but all the buildings for
which they are responsible will be
fully ready in time. All the un-
occupied ground among and
around the buildings have been
laid out in roads and walks with
fountains, an artificial lake, orna-
mental bridges, &c. The labors of
the Board have been performed
ably, and the machinery put in
operation to insure success has
worked satisfactorily.

F1nsr AxEaIcAS BUILT unrs.i

The first vessel ever built in
Massachusetts, was a ship launched
at Mystic (now Medford) on the
4th of July, 1881, and named by
Governor Winthrop to whom she
belonged, "The Blessing Of the
Bay" In the course Of the sea,
son, this vessel made several coast
ing trips and soon after visited
Manhattan Island. On this occa-
sion, says Governor Winthrop,
the sailors were surprised at see
ing on Long Island Indian canoes
Of great size. Another vessel of
sixty tons, called the Rebecca,
was built in 1888, at the same
place. A ship of one hundred
and twenty tons was built at Mar
blohead, by the people of Salem,
in 1896. The business of ship
building appears to have received
its first impulse about this time
from the same cause which threw
the colonists upon their own re-
sources for the supply of many Of
the necessaries Of life. The first
ship built in Boston of which there
is any record, was the Trial, of
about one hundred and sixty tons.
She sailed for Bilboa on the 4th
day Of June, 1642, with Thomas
Graves as master, laden with fish,
which she sold there at a good
rate. and from thence she freighted
to Malaga, and arrived there in
March, 1643, laden with wine,
fruit oil, iron and wool, which
was a great advantage to the cOun-
ny ana gave an encouragement to
trade. Thus early began the cir
cuitous and profitable trade to dis
tant ports, in which colonial YES
sells, at. no remote period, bore 50
prominent a part In 1912 Eve
other vessels were built at Bos-
ton, Plymouth, Dorchester and
Salem; and in 1914 two of two
hundred and fifty and two hun
dred tons respectively, were built
at Cambridge and Boston. The
first large ship, 50 called, was built
in Boston, one Of three hundred
tens, in 1916.

INDIAN HOMEsrEADs.-An act
of Congress, approved March 3,
1875, provides that an Indian, born
in the United States, who is the
head of a family, or who has ar
rived at the age of twenty-one,
and who has or may abandon his
tribal relations, shall, on making
proof Of such abandonment, be
entitled to the benefits of the
homestead act. That the title to
these homssteads shall not be SUBJ
ject to alienation or incumbranee,
either by voluntary conveyance,
or the judgment, deere or order of
any court, and shall remain inal-
ienable for Eve years after patent
issues. That any such Indian shall
be entitled to his distributive
share of all annuities, tribal funds,
lands and other property, the same
as though he had maintained his
tribal relations; and any transfer,
alienation or incumbrance Of any
interest he may hold or claim BY
reason Of his tribal relations shall
be void. A section ofthis act pro-
hibits these homesteads from be-
ing commutsd TO cash entries.

and 6, their house took fire. The
boy and girl, aged u, got out of

A Boston special says the whole

are rejoicing over Secretary Bris
tow's raid on the whisky ring

dealers no show to compete with
Western distillers.
