tire party went to the theater. The

parents in a very artistic manner.

Charles E. Reed of IS Reservoir street
advertised in the daily papers that she
would take as a boarder either an old
lady or child, and a few days after,
a young man called at the house to
make inquiries regarding board for his
infant son, telling Mrs. Reed that his
wife had died at the birth of the boy,
and he had no one with whom he could
leave the child. He stated that the
child was born at Greendale, and as
satisfactory arrangements were made
with Mrs. Reed for the care of the
child. It was brought to her home.
That was the last seen Of the young
man, and Mrs. Reed has cared for the
infant for eight weeks without any rec
onpense Thursday she brought the
boy to the Office Of City Almoner Brown
and left it there, as she did not wish
to care for II longer. The child was
taken to the Home farm, and is there
now.
City Almoner Brown says it is one
of the most artistic cases of abandon
nent that have ever come to his at
tention. He will report to the state
authorities and viii also institute an
Investigation to find out if possible the

TO FORM TOPIC SOCIETY.

A meeting of those interested in the
revival of the Current Topics Society
at the Tech took place in Boynton Hall
yesterday afternoon. A small number
of the students, principally from the
senior and junior classes, were present,
and it was decided the sense Of the
meeting was in favor Of the revival Of
the club No definites action was taken
but it was the idea of most of those
present that the meeting when held
should be Of decidedly Informal char
acter, as the students do not feel able
to give the time necessary for the
preparation of anything elaborate in
the way of papers to be delivered.
The idea is to hold meetings once a
week or fortnight, at which all melN-
bers of the institute who are SO dis
posed can be present ard discuss some
live topic-o the day without the for
mality that characteri5es a debating
society A meeting to make further
plans for the reorganization. win take

n.aas State Mutual Offices.

ElhA ~ stare MUTUAL OJTCeS.
The closing meeting of the Actuarial
Society of America, and the carriage
drive of the visiting members about
the city, were the features of the last

were read by the different gentlemen.
President Bloomfield j. Miller of the
society spoke first, congratulating the
members on the enthusiasm which at
all times seemed to prevail on the sub
jects in which they were so particular
ly interested. The interest and the
enthusiasm, he said, which was SO
manifest in the hearts Of all the dele
gates, could not fail to keep the asso-
citation high as it was in the estima-
ton of the worlds calculators, and he
hoped that the same feeling would al
ways prevail.
The other papers read included list
which dealt in a general way with de-
partmental work in life insurance, and
the best method of carrying on bust
ness of such a nature. D. p Fackler
read a paper on AN equitable method
of, determining paid-up or cash surren-
der values" and A. A. WEIGH spoke on
Individual VS.. communism in the con-
duct of a life insurance company, this
being followed by q paper on General

The carriage drive which followed
the council session was one of great
interest to the visiting delegates, and
they thoroughly enjoyed 1t. After the
trip was over, the men sat down TO
luncheon served by the State Mutual
Assurance Company in the State Mu-
tual restaurant. Most Of the delegates
returned to their homes last evening,

The property is what was formerly
known as the old Doherty place on
Millbury street, and when the county
commissioners laid out Ballard avenue
they took about $4,000 feet of land from
the estate for the new street. Through
some error this land was not taken off
the estate when the taxes were as
sessed, and the taxes have been paid
on the full amount of land ever since
The amount of money that has been
paid into the city treasury is $780, and
Mr.. Power wants that money back,
