maritan Society was held at the rooms
Of the Board of Trade Friday evening.
The custodian, Mrs. Mary Crane, re-
ported that 494 articles were loaned
during the year. and that 81 physicians
sent in requests. The treasurer's re-
port showed the receipts to be $2S9. .45,
Of which $4S.28 was still in the treas
ury. Miss Mabel Lancaster, the secre-
tary, read brief report of the years
work.
The following communication from
DR., Charles L. Nichols was unanimous
ly endorsed and the resolution appended
adopted:
There seems to be no more appro-
pirate time than the present to stay
the proceedings of our society, that we
may pay our tribute of respect and es-
TEEN to the memory of it's honored
founder, Dr. Charles H. Davis.
The interest which he took in its ev-
cry detail at the organization of the
Good Samaritan Society, the unfailing
energy with which he extended its
charities when it was started, and the
constant hopefulness he expressed for
the enlarging of his benevolent thought
these are the facts which make his
loss a personal one 10 each member of
TINS society,"
We can only pause for renewal of
our own courage and for the assurance
that we will take UP the work he has
laid down and attempt to carry it to
the fruition he deserved.
Therefore be it resolved that the per-
sonal efforts of Dr. Charles H. Davis,
from the foundation of this society,"
have been always directed towards its
best good, and that in his death the So
ciety has sustained deep loss.
Resolved, that as token of our re-
spect, these resolutions be spread upon
our records and copy transmitted to
the family of DR.. Davis.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the board of trade for its courtesy.
The organization of the Good Samar-
itan Society as an incorporate body was
effected Friday morning at a meeting
called at the house Of Miss Mary l..
Nichols by the elections of the following
officers: President, Mrs. Sarah H. Da-
Wis; first vice president, Mrs. Abby L.
Stone; second vice president, Miss Ma
ry E. D. King; treasurer. Miss Mary L,

ter; executive committee, Mrs. Helen

A DISHONEST CLERK.
South End Grocer Has One of His EN-.
plogees Arrested.

Harry A. King was arrested Friday
forenoon by Inspector Stone on the
charge of embezzlement. King has been
in the employ of ]. r. Howe, the grocer,
for tine past three months, and of late
Glis employer became convinced that all
Of the collections were not turned in.
Monday King was charged with the en-
bezzlement, which he confessed. He was
told that the case would not be pressed
if he paid the money back, but he has
neglected TO do this, and was conse-
quently arrested.
Last Saturday, Mr.. Howes attention
was called to the fact that there Were
several small charges on the books
against people who usually paid cash.
One of the customers was sent bill of
the amount of the charges against her
and later when she called at the store
was reminded of the bill She replied
that she owed nothing and had not re-
ceiVed the bill in question, producing re-
ceipts for the bill charged against her
An investigation followed and all evil
dence pointed to King, VINO at first denied
the charge, but afterward admitted it.
Mr.. Howe thinks the total amount of the
embezzlement will be about $50.
King was formerly in the employ of
e. W. Hoxie, and has always borne a
good reputation up to the present time.

Spy. The Universalist Leader, the de-

HIGH SCHOOL CREW.
Seventy Five Candidates Report
for Preliminary Practice,
They Are Divided Into Squads of Eight
With One of Last Years Crew
as Stroke.

The call for candidates for the high
school crew was responded to Friday
afternoon by about 70 of the pupils of
the two schools. They. assembled at
the English high school building, where
Capt Frank J. Kerns told the prospect
i've oarsmen what would be expected of
them in the way of training.
The candidates have been divided into
eight squads, and so far as practicable
the stroke of each squad will be a mem
bSr of last years crew who is familiar
With Coach Kerns' methods. Capt.
Kerns has not yet assigned himself to
squad, but will, of course, take regu-
lar practice with the others.
The rowing machine for the use of the
candidates will be set up in the tower
of the English high school building to-
day by Coach E. ]. Kerns, and Monday
afternoon preliminary training will be-
gin Owing to the large number of can
didates it will be impossible to put each
squad at work every day, and Capt.
Kerns has assigned the first three
squads for Monday afternoon. They will
report at 3 o'clock, and each squad will
work half-hour. Wednesday after
noon the other four squads will
go through the same prelminaries.
While the number of candidates remains
as large as now these squads will alter
nate in appearing on the machines. 1t is
very likely, however, that many of the
boys will find training for a crew is hard
work and will drop out. This will neces-
state a revision of the squad lists and
ultimately all the candidates will get
on to the machines every day. 1t is
hoped that two fipst-class crews may be
selected
The list of candidates who reported
yesterday is as follows:
No. III. Munroe, F. .Hennessey, L.
