around town and as perambulated

here in Boston, and as it ia cold to-
day, and the slush We have had to
contend with for the past week is now
in the form of lee, making the side
walks and crossings anything but
agreeable, &c sharp or you'll b

the boys are having a glor-
ious time on the COM
mon, coasting and the tobogganing
slides are in fine condition.
The Boston giSl IS out, and red
cheeks-aye, red noses, 'oo-which the
cold snap gives her only makes her
more charming in her fur wraps and
large crowned hat. BY the way,
What awfully high cyowned hats are
being worn this season, and the end
is net yet. was in u hat manufac-
tory the other day, and saw hat be

told me there were only
seven inches of clear crown
but it looked at lsast twelve.
The dime museums are places Of
some interest. Here is a whole me-

Our statesmen are now enseensed

The K. of L. are making large
gains here in the far east. and are be-
coming a power for good among the
laboring men,. Several large strikes
among the shoe manufactures and
other industries have been settled by
their a bitratiOa, and even cOnserva-

the benefit of organized labor.
The pride Of Boston slums, John
Lawrence Sullivan, is in town to-day, |
and we met him on the street. y |
being acquainted with the bruiser, We
won't infiict an interview, He is still
a curiosity, aud was followed to his

and weak-minded men, who blocked |
the sidewalk so as to require an officer
to Gear the way. He Is posing at the
Boston theater in the character of the |
old Greek gods. We have not be-

costumes of this company are said to
be the best ever produced for the play.
The new Hollis street theatre which
was opened with this play. is very
