Death of Daniel Lothrop.

Daniel Iothrop, the well-known Boston
publisher, died Friday night at the Hotel
Bellevue, that city. Mr.. Lothrop's
health had been gradually failing for a
few years past. During the last four
weeks an acute kidney trouble ap-
peared, which developed with great rapid
ity. He was about and at business, no W.
ever, until a few days ago.
Soon after the civil war he began closing
up various enterprises in which he had
been engaged preparatory to entering upon
his subsequent great business career as a
Boston publisher, which he co mmenced in a
store on Cornhill.
His first venture in Boston was a Sun
day school book entitled ANDY Luttrell,"
which proved q great success and the be-
ginning of an era in that sort of literature.
He encouraged literary talent by kind words
and substantial prizes, and with the most
fruitful results in the shape of such
works as 'Miss Young's Histories,
'Spare Minute Series" "Stories of Ameri'
can History" 'tLothrop's Library of En-
tertaining History" George McDonald's
novels, etc.
He published the works of such writer's
as Professor James Fl. Harrison, Arthur
| Gilman, Rev E. E. Hale, Margaret Sid
ney (his wife), J. 7. Trowb,idge, Elbridgs
| S. Brooks, Noah Brooks, Marian Harland
| Maurice Thompson, Alexander Black
Jessie Benton Fremont, John Heaton, E
q. Nadal, John R. Coryell, Charles VI.
Skinner, Thomas Nelson Page, Emma NJ
| Connolly, Edmund Alton, A1mon Gunni
SOB, Olive Risley Seward, ETC., etc.
| In due time came Wide Awake, Babylsnd
the Pansy and the Chuatauqua's Young
Folks Journal, monthly periodicals, and
as artisticslly beautiful as excellent in lit
erary quality.
In the great Boston fire of 1872 Mr.
Lothrop met with heavy losses and bust
in the printing establishment of Rand
Avery & Co. Then he went to the River
side Press, where at last he secured the
printing of his 81 900 prize books.
In 1875 he moved from Cornhill II
larger and finer quarters at Franklin ant
Hawley streets A large warehouse oil
Purchase street completed the space re
| auirsments of the business In 1879 Mr.
Lothrop took into active partnership hi
younger brother, n. H. Lothrop. In 1881
they opened place of business on Wash
ington street.
Mr., Lothrop welded, about fifteen year
ago, a New Haven young lady, Miss Har
riet milford Stone, daughter of the lat
Major Sidney n. Stone, who was for man.
years a leading New Haven architect, ant
resided on Elm street near Church street
Mrs. Stone is the gifted author so well

High school Athletes,

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AID CouRrxR.
Noticed in Saturday evening" Register an
article entitled "Rough High School Boys,n
which, being serious deviation from fact,
1 feel bound to deny. A teacher was
knocked down by one of q crowd of high
school boys termed, in the article, would
be athletes" and youngsters who copy
students, but the occurrence was under
circumstances which it will be seen were
entirely unavoidable.
The runners while passing through
Grand avenue were stoned by q large
crowd of budding toughs, an element
characteristic of the vicinity. Stones be-
ing decidedly dangerous missiles IL wss
perfectly natural that the runners should
seek to avoid them by accleratine their
pace One of the boys, unable to keen nm
with the rest, fell back and became the tar
get of the whole of the missiles. He
naturally lowered his head, as any one
would have done under the circumstances,
and not being able to see ahead he ran into
q lady teacher who was standing on the
corner, knocking her down. He imme-
diately stopped, picked her up, spologised
the least bit hurt and did not need further
assistance went on. The lady afterward
expressed her entire satisfaction with the
way in which she was treated, and 1t is .
mystery how the Register" learned that
the Young man who was the cause Of the
nishap ran on without stopping to learn
the extent of her injuries.
The article accuses the said young fei-
low of throwing stone at the crowd of
boys which, sic is said" severely injured
one of them 1t can be proved by wit
nesses that not one stone was thrown BY
the molested party or parties and If any
one of the young toughs was hit 1t was by
q stone thrown by one of his own crowd.
In conclusion, the high school boys are
training hard to uphold the honor and
good name of the school of which the city
should justly be proud in the coming ath-
letic contests in which nearly all of the
schools in the state take part. If their OBJ
ject is worthy one they should be upheld
in it. If not, more articles should appear
under similar headings as the Registers of
Saturday.
The remark about their copying students
is certainly erroneous. Were any high
school boys ever in an affair which have
the stamp of the occurrence of Saturday
night at The Grand opera housei
