cured through friends who would arouse
less hostility than would be aroused by
the Organization itself. For the last year
or two the union has endorsed ceIta3n
candidates, and this year it will proba bly,
take some action Of that sort. Theother

That Bostonans have a love for hise
toric lectures delivered by men who have
made a study Of the topics they treat
was forcbly demonstrated one morning
last week. 1t took just 20 minutes to dis
tribute 1000 tickets to as many persons
eager to hear Rev Edward Everett Hale
d. D.. in the course of six lectures, which
he is to give as part of the program of
the 59th season Of the Lowell institute
The tickets were given out at the Cadets
armOry on Columbus avenue, through
the courtesy of the officers of that organ
izatiOn. Ten o'clock was the hour at
which the distribution began, and as
early as half-past perhaps 25 people
were on hand, waiting to gain admission
to the building. BY 8 o'clock the crowd
had increased to several hundreds, and
more than 1000 persons were formed into
a long, serpentine line in the great drill
hall when the tickets were issued Be
sides these people there were from 200
to 300 more outside, from whom there
We're no tickets left Only one ticket was
given to each person.
For years the Lowell Institute has an
nually distributed its tickets in this way.
and never was there a greater demand
than at the present time. Had there been
1000 tickets the crowd would have in
creased accordingly You may inquire
what subjects are treated that create
such interest, and perhaps the question
can be answered in no better way than
by giving the subjects considered the
present year by DR.. Hale. They are
Topography. Early Explorers. Stand

hotel here, having leased the old Hub
theater on Hanover street for the pur-
pose. There will be accommodations
for $50 men at the new place. where the
men will have, in addition to plain but
comfortable lodging, the privileges of a
bath, library, reading room, daily papers
and SO on. The move was prompted by
the success of the army's cheap hotel for
workirgm started Feb. % last. Lieu
tenant Colonel Cozens of the army says:
I'VE have supplied nearly 10000 beds in
this one institution, and through our
wood yard have found employment for
hundreds of men. Among other people
who have been helped are many who have
come to us straight from Charlestown
and Deer island prisons. We are now
accommodating 1876 men every night,
and fro mthe opening of the institution
have never had an empty bed. In fact
we turn away from 20 to so and more men
The army has earned recOg
