As Seen and Described by IL Traveller
From the Hi,cI> Kills.
While Mt Boston visited Harvard
college, and when ] returned to New
Haven. through the kindness of Il bro
ther of Mr.. r. Il. White who is pur-
suing a post graduate course at Yale
and to whom had IL letter of intro
duction from y b.. I had most inter-
esting visi. togthat institution.
Mr. White and his beautiful wife
made me feel that the Whites are we'll
named. This was Just the day before
the MALE hoodlums" brought disgrace
On the college hy their treatment of
Mr.. Bryan and am glad that was not
a witness of that event and that my
visit of one hour to falc is associated
with the lovlness of womanhood and
the geutlemnnimess OF manhood eXem-
pliiied in two handsome people.
New Haven is the only city | was
ever in whore could get lost and could
not find myself. and where those | met
on the street were too stupid and
ignorant to tell me where was But
l suppose this is kind of an offset to
to the great number OF bright young
men who come here to college. Two
thousand eight hundred freshmen
entered this year. The college opened
the next day after | left. 1t was IL
''tcrror' to see the stacks of trunks at
the depot. But | started to tell you
about the stupidity OF some of the
people one meets among the inhabit-
ants. w;.s on Water street and wanted
to go to No. 125. Looking up l saw |
was at No. 1i3 lstepped inside to in
quire the way. II was Il saloon. \
woman was Lchind the bar asked
which way the street was numbered
and then here l25 was. Finally max
ing her understand. she said she did
not know AMI turned and asked her
husband. He came forward and after
/ had III de him understand what |
wanted to know he commenced to quiz
mo about why wanted to know where
125 was. Finally he directed ms which
u
nearly Il block aud found that he sent
me in the wrong direction think
that he knew no better but was not so
fsslull as his wife who aclino vledged
mat she did not know
nevel fclt so much at home in any
big city in my life as i did in New
York. The signs and buildings were
constantly recurring names With which
had heen familiar since my child
hood and OF which | had so often read
descriptions and seen illustrations in
so many way, and places. | was there
only one day and saw nothing that
could make of new interest to you. but
that one day was worth more than IL
month of re;ldingtome. Central Park.
Fifth avenue. with the metropolitan
Museum of Art. ST. Patrick's cathedral.
LenoN library. it's palatial hotels.
especially the Waldorf. then Broadway
down to the % story ST. Paul building
with all it's roar and rush of traffic
than which l have never seen or heard
anything like it in any other city. the
Brooklyn bridge these are all real
things to me now.
The evidences of prosperity in the
vicinity of Boston are very noticeable
to me after the depressed conditions
have seen some little of during the
past three yearsand which observation.
as you will remember. has extended to
the Pacific coast Some of the towns
in the suburbs and immediate vicinit,
of Boston are enjoying Il prosperity
such. that il II western town had like
conditions prevailing, the papers would
he issuinga boom edition every week.
Especially is this true of Brockton. the
town where the Douglass :;3 shoe is
made. 1t is a place of about $4,000 in
habitailts and the manufacture of
shoes is the principal industry. An
extended drive through the place
showed evidences of thrift and pros
perity on every hand. All the older
places are neat, we'll kept and in good
repair and much was new, modern and
i'll some instances almost palatal.
Mrs. White pointed out Il considerable
district of houses. none of them cot
tages as we in the west know cottages,
which, she said. had been built since
she came east little more than IA year
ago. was told that new lines of
electric road are constantly being
planned and built. connecting all the
country towns and connecting them
with the cities.
