EIGHTY FEET WIDE !
And Make the improvement Under
the Highway Act.
That Was the Consensus Of Opinion
on the Charles Street Matter.

The final hearing on the widening OF
Charles and Mill streets came up in the
city hall last evening, and there is every
prospect that those streets will be
widened to an so foot street after the
hearing OF last night at city hall. The
most prominent business men of the
North End were there and many Of those
Interested could not gain admittance.
No one seemed to object to the street be-
ing wldened and only one or two
wanted II done under the Betterment
act. Governor elect Charles Warren Lip
PIT OF the Silver Spring Bleachery;
William M. Harris, who is the
proprietor of the largest lumber
yard in the North End; ID. M. Thompson
OF the Corlss Engine Works; Mr.. Thurs
ton OF the American Screw Company's
works on stevens street; General
Ames OF the Fletcher Manufacturing
Co.'S mills, which are located between
Mill, Charles and Back streets, and
favor of Mill and Charles streets
being widened under the highway
act. Alderman Mccarthy has been
two years and he has interested large
number OF constituents in the matter as
well as citizens generally throughout the
city. Ex-Councilman McCabe and
many Others also spoke in favor of those
streets being widened under the highway
act.
The proposition before tho meeting be-
ing 60 foot street, the consideration for
q broader avenue was possible only by
courtesy OF the committee and the
general consent OF those present But
| he consensus OF opinion was strongly in
favor OF an SO-foot street, the distin-
gulshed business men present being
agreed that the improvements once inau-
gurated ought 10 contemplate, not
only providing fully for the |
present necessity, but for fu- |
lure demands which will ensue upon |
The undertaking of any Improvement. 1t |
was pointed out by these gentlemen that
The widening of Charles street is
ESSENTIALLY matter for the
general interests of the city,
not alone for those of the North End.
As the speakers pointed out Charles
street is highway of unique Importance

unparalleled number of industries

THE BOY Is "THE FATHER OF THE MAN.
Henry Fuseli's father, scholar
and an artist, had probably exper-
fenced some of the sorrows common
to both characters, and, being de.
sirous that his son should at least
have bread, proposed to educate him
for the church. The hayward tenn.
per ofthe boy and his already en-
thusiastic love for painting, opposed
strong obstacles to this desirable
plan. But the father, with willful-
ness of spirit peculiar to him, re-
solved to enforce obedience. For a
while he was successful. Henry
made great progress in learning, and
became an ardent admirer of the
classics but it was only to find in
the poetry of Greece and Rome WV
id examples of heroic life.
He mastered his lessons in very
short time, and had many hours left
for other occupation and when re.
leased from his class he withdrew to
secret place to enjoy unmolested
the works of Michael Angelo, OF
whose prints his father had fine
collection. When he grew older he
loved to talk OF those days of his
youth, and the enthusiasm with
which he perused the works OF the
ancient poets. With candles which
he purloined from the kitchen, and
with pencils bought with his boarded
pocket money, he perused his studies
till late at night, and made many
copies from Angelo and Raphael,
thus becoming early familiar with
the style and ruling characters of
the two greatest masters of the art.
A wild German work caught his
fancy, called the Hour Glass, and he
illustrated it with outlines repre-
senting fantastic imps and elves en-
gagged in strange dances, ludicrous
gambols and mischievous tricks.
Etchings of those early attempts
were afterwards published, and are
now exceedingly rare. They are
said lot TO be without merit and to
: S'lne BOY Is tne'fatner Of the man.

BARTY.

Bartholomew Willard ('Barty"
for short) was "queer customer" a
Vermonter known for his careless,
vagabond habits but ready wit, and
remarkable for extemporc rhyming.
Sitting one day 10 village among a
crowd of idlers, the merchant asked
Barty "why he always wore that
shocking bad hat" Barty replied
that it was simply because be was
unable to purchase new one.
"Come," said the merchant, "make
me a good rhyme on the old hat i'm
mediately, without stopping to think
and III give you the best one in the
store" Whereupon Barty threw
his old hat on the floor and began
Here lies my old hat
And pray, what Of that?
Ills as coed as the rest Of my raiment;
i'll buy me better,
You'll make me your debtor,
And send me TO jail for the payment.
Barty got the hat.

Avoid Cosmetics.

Ladies, shun cosmetics Most OF
the common preparations contain
poisonous chemicals, which exert a
deletorious action on the skin; and
at the best no paint, powder or wash
can supply the natural beauty OF q
fine complexion. They are palpable
and palpa5le fraud is an abomina-
tion. Pure rain water and good
health are essentials TO healthful
skin The former is plentiful the
latter can be regained and kept by
the use Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
zeal Discovery, which purilies the
blood, removes pimples, blackheads,
and roughness, strengthens impaired
digestion and wards off pulmonary
diseases. Without pure blood you
cannot have clear complexion.
