BOSTON COMMON GATES.
Those From the Old West Street En-
trance May Be Sent to Georgia

Boston, Aug. .9.-Having outlived their
usefulness in marking the West street
entrance to the Common, the iron gates
and the huge stone posts which for
many years f1anked the entrance may
be put to their original use again, but
in place far away from Boston. An
order which was introduced before the
city government was unanimously
passed, asking the mayor to give the
gates and posts as a present from the
city of Boston to the National WOm-
ans Relief corps. So they may be sent
to Georgia, where it is desired to place
them in position at the main entrance
to the old AnderSonville prison pen,
which place is eventually to be made
into public park, to perpetuate the
memory of the thousands of brave men
who, after long imprisonment at that
place, paid with their lives for the fidel-
ity with which they clung to their prin-
ciples in fighting for their country.
1t will be recalled that during the war
of the rebellion this stockaded pen was
the prison of more than $4,000 men, of
whom Ii, 900 died in Is months time.
More than one thousand men died of
starvation during one month. Though
the place was not battlefield, for
which reason the United States gov
ernemnt does not take it for preServa-
tion, more men gave up their lives at
AnderSonville than on the occasion of
any actual battle that took place. The
Grand Army of georgia sometime ago
purchased the property, but the MEM
bers of the army are not financially
able to put the grounds into proper
condition and to preserve them after
ward as it felt the place should be
kept up. There are So acres in all, and
the property has now come into the
possession of the National Woman s
Relief corps which body intends to i'm
prove the estate and make it fitting
memorial to those who fought in de-
fenSe of the flag.
1t is planned to grade the grounds,
seed them, and to enclose them by a
substantial fence, with the Boston gift
marking the main entrance. Mrs. L.
A. Turner of this city, chairman of the
Andersonvil1e prison board. has been,
with other women, active in agitating
the matter of the bestowal of the gates
and posts.
In order to obtain funds for the i'm
provements at Andersonville, where the
cemetery contains the graves of 1,70O
Union soldiers, the Woman's Relief
corps of Salem is today conducting a
reunion of all the G. A. R. posts, Sons
of Veterans camps and relief corps of
Essex county at Salem Willows. The
time from noon to 2:30 will be spent in
a social way, and at the latter hour
there is to be reception to Depart

KILOHANA ENTERTAINMENT.
To Take Place Tonight at the League
Rooms.

Society in general will pay homage
to the entertainment given this even
ing by the Dramatic Circle for the
of the Kilohana Art League
and limited number of friends.
So popular is the dramatic evening
that the entertainment will be repeat
ed tomorrow evening. The art rooms
in the Tregloan block will not accom-
odate many people. For this reason
it has been necessary to limit the in
vitational list for this evenings affair.
Tomorrow evening will be open TO the
public. An admission of so cents will
be charged to defray expenses. Invita-
tions do not call for Tuesdays per-

his proposal looks up and discovers
Jennie housemaid, Miss f. Ella

the words "Will you, will you be my
WIFE"
Jennie accepts him promptly in spite
of the fact that she is engaged to
"Hicks," the coachman. Dorothy hears
of Yardsley's predicament, but an eX-
