Hon. George +. Richardson, Hon.
Charles W. Clifford and Hon. Hiram
Hartman, cost commissioners under
the Metropolitan park and boulevard
acts, have filed their report in the SUI
preme court There are 81 cities and
towns comprised in the system, the
Hub being the centre OF them. The
commissioners were appointed by the
supreme court IN the spring of 1894.
Their powers were to apportlon the
cost among these various cities and
towns under the several acts, save uu-
which is by this act required to pay
80 per cent The period which they
were empowered to fix the cost for is
the first five years after the bonds
have been issued by the Common
wealth treasury The total amounts
that the Metropolitan park commits
sion WAS authorized to appropriate
under the park act of 1898, chapter
407 of the acts amendatory thereto,
is 81, 800, 600. OF the 81, 600, 600 au-
thorized by the original park act 5000.
600 has been applied by the park com
mission as follows; Blue Hills reser-
vation, $3.50, 600; Middlesex Fells re-
servation, $500, 900; Stony Brook re-
servation, $50, 900. The total amount
appropriated by this act has been APP
piled, 81, 900, 00G to the Revere Beach
reservation and $500, 600 to the Charles
River reservation as authorized re-
spectively by chapters 4S3 and 500 OF
the acts of 1894. In addition to the
above there was chapter 2SS of 1894,
called the boulevard act, which author
lied the appropriation to the park
commission of 100000. This appro-
priation has been applied by that COM
mission as follows Sl20,0 for the
Mystic valley parkway, and S175, 600 on
account of the MiddleseX Fells park
way, leaving balance of S1l5, 600
unapplied, for the reason that the
selectmen of Milton have failed to
concur in the taking of certain streets
and land to be laid out as Mattapan
parkway. By chapter 407 of the acts
of 1898 the city of Boston is required
to pay so per cent of the total cost OF
the parks. 1t is the balance of the
100 per cent, namely, so per cent.
under these acts that the commission
was asked to apportion among the re.
naming 36 cities and towns. Under
the boulevard act the commonwealth
must pay 80 per cent of the cost, and
the balance is apportioned by the
commissioners among the 81 cities
and towns

NO. It,.
It is Not the Gypsy Moth.

Mayor Curtis received the follow.
ing letter from the secretary of the
board of agriculture, William r. Ses-
sions, and the gypsy moth commits
sioners: The gypsy moth commit
tee of this board are receiving very
many complaints from citizens of al
most all parts of the city, East Boston,
South Boston, Back Bay, Charles
town, Beacon Hill and the South and
West ends--of the ravages of a cater
pillar which the complainants suppose
to be the gypsy moth. We have Wis
tied all localities complained of, and
found in all cases, except one, that the
pests complained of are the white
marked Tussock moth. This spe-
cies has been very prevalent for
the last two seasons on the Com
mon aud in the various parts of the
city, IN some cases entirely defoliating
the trees and becoming a nuisance by
spinning down upon passing people
and crawling upon the sides of houses
and sometimes into the houses. Their
cocoons are sometimes found in masses
on the sides of houses, and thousands
of them are placed on the bodies of
trees where they have been feeding on
the foliage. These caterpillars are
now beginning to spin cocoons, from
which the moths will emerge in few
days, when they will lay their eggs on
the outside of the cocoons. These
will hatch -, la
giving a second brood of caterpillars,
which will certainly be much more
numerous than the first brood of the
season, RS each female lays about 200
eggs. The second brood can be pre-
vented by destroying the cocoons be-
fore the eggs laid upon them are
Matched out. This can be done
by any faithful, unskilled labor
ers, who have fair eyesight aud
can climb a ladder 1t has been sup
posed by many citizens that this work
might be done by the employees of the
gypsy moth commission of this board,
but the appropriation by the state is
restricted to the examination of the
gypsy moth on the ground that all OF
that species on the continent are with
i'll territory Of 200 square miles near
this city, thus making it possible to
save the country from another and
worse leaf-eating pest by stamping it
out before it spreads over the whole
country. This white moth is native
of this country, and is found nearly
all over our territory, thus making il
an impossibilIty to exterminate it.

BOSTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Captured BOstOn.

The EndeayOrers were in evidence
everywhere during convention week.
The streets were as crowded as they
often are Just before Christmas, uad the
bright and honest faces of our guests
were pleasant to look into. Mechan-
les building was more than crowded.
There We're thousands of the people
with badges engaged in the work OF
sightseeing. Pilgrimages to what
ever is notable in and around the city
arranged for special occasions, but the
individual American tried To find out
for himself what kind of a place Bos-
ton is. Places were open to them
that are not often shown to any one,
and the satisfaction of these strangers
from all parts of the country at what
they were seeing was evident in their
radiant faces. One had all unusual Op-
portunlty to see the average American
under the best auspices at this time.
While the EudeavOrers were seeing
the city, and gratifying their curiosity
at what remains of the Puritan dynasty
our own people were hardly less
pleased to see strangers whose badges
tell where they are from, and publish
their doings to the world. The flag:
and the ribbons were a special feature
of these gay young people, and
the presence OF an older generation
shows that the Christian EndeavoI
movement has interested people of al
ages, and moved the nation to tnell
way OF thinking. 1t was an unwontec
spectacle to see the churches open IL
midsummer, and gayly decorated witt
flags, but the heartluess and una
nimity of these people, and their ami
able spirit, created an atmosphere o
peace and rest which affected the whole
city. Our own people, to great eX
tent, are away from home, and thes,
strangers were for this reason all th'
more conspicuous on the streets. The
welcome extended TO them seemed Il
be generously appreciated, and there
was IL spirit in the air which was won
deriully quickening TO those who lool
for better things.

The Chicago Times Herald remarks :
"Modern invention is bound to get
rid of the horse, and the services OF
that noble animal arc now being dis
pensed with in numberless ways.
Steam and electricity have ruthlessly
shouldcred him aside, and the bicycle
threatens him in one Of his most de-
lightful uses. As IL culmination to
these comes the "hOrs1leSs carriage, "
which has just shown itself to be Il
most pronounced success in France.
Vehicles of that kind made compet-
ing race between Bordeaux and Paris
the other day, distance of 736 miles
and the time Was an average of fifteen
miles an hour. The days of the horse
are numbered. "

Ex.Gov. Boutwell, of this state, is 8
dissenter from the decision of the
United States Supreme Court on the
constitutionality of the income tax.
In private letter just printed, he de-
clares that if this had been recognized
as law during the time of the late wal
the rebellion would have been sue
cess. He thinks that the denial
of the right to levy a tax
upon incomes is dangerous to
the stability of the government.
and that the possession of this
power is an absolute necessity in
case of war. He ir Inmates the opin.
ion that the recent decision may be re.
versed hereafter. Fortunately, there
is slight apprehension of another wal
such as that when the nation resorted
to the income tax, hut, if it should
come, the probability is that such {
right to tax would be found under the
war powers of the government. Thes,
it will be remembered, was stretched
far beyond what the judgment oi
Congress of the stricter school of con
struction justified while the late wal
was in progress.

1t WAS delightful to observe the
eagerness and zeal which were mani
tested by visiting Endesvorers in seek
ing out the various sights of this his
toric town. Boston means great
deal more to the people who live in
sections of our country far removed
from New England, than many of her
own citizens imagine. She is great
center of historic and patriotic inter
est, and rs the home of so much that
calls to mind the glorious past, she
offers unrivaled attractions to every
true American. Whatever commercial
renown may come to the Boston of
the future, it will still be true that
among her choicest possessions, viewed
from every standpoint, will be Faneuil
Hall, the Old South, the Old State
House, and the world-famous monu-
ment which commentaries the heroes
of Bunker Hill.

BOUNDARIES MARKED.
Sixty Monuments Will Divide Lines
Between Mass, n. H., and VT.

The boundary line commissioners OF Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont
have been at South Vernon, VT, making final
arrangements for marking the boundaries
definitely between the states. The commits.
sion was established some years ago, and
considerable time has been spent in survey
ing and discussing localities. The lines are
practically agreed upon now, and monuments
are being erected along the line between
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The cornering point OF three states has
been fixed on the west bank OF the Copnectt-
cut river. just east of the South Vernon rail-
road station at about low water mark. A
monument of rubble masonry will be put
deep in the soil, reaching to the surface, then
properly inscribed marker of granite is TO
be erected a little distance away, referring to
the actual corner.
About 60 monuments are to be erected be-
tween Vermont and Massachusetts at differ
ent points to the New York line.
The line as defined between Vermont and
Massachusetts runs through the ladies room
Of the r. r. stat on at So Vernon. Monuments
will be in place in few months and the COM
missioners will be discharged. They have
been very careful and painstaking, and all
questions have been settled very satisfactor-
lily.

A Newer New England.

Old Nantucket has enjoyed hel
gala celebration days, and had the
charm to visitors which all quaint
settlements never fail to possess. II
is curious reversal OF the general
order of things in this country when
one walks in an old town that fifty
years ago contained nearly 5000 in
habitants, and is now estimated to
contain resident population of from
5000 to 5000. But things are getting
back to the original gauge of popula-
tion in old New England localities.
Our unriyaled salubrity of climate is
rapidly attracting other sections, and
if the old industries have largely de-
parted new ones are sure to spring up,
with better roads, more modernized
residences, and much larger circula-
tiou of money, New England is
rapidly coming to the front again.
The old generations, with their once
thriving occupations, did their work,
and have left venerable monuments oi
their thrift and industry behind.
