shire Battery. Each window in the great
Amoskeag corporation building facing the
railroad had its knot of operatives waving
cloth or aprons.
AS the train passed from New Hampshire
to Massachusetts territory. the Massachu-
setts representatives went into the admi-
rails car and were introduced by Governor
Rollins. who turned the guest over TO the
care of Massachusetts,. At Lowell the crowd
was larger than any yet seen. From Lowell
to Boston il seemed as IL the tracks were
lined with people, so continued was the
cheering. The train pulled into the Union
Station in this city at sos p. m.
Fully twenty-five thousand people were
crowded in and around the station at Bos-
ton. and in the rush to get a look at the
hero he was well-nigh carried of his feet.
He was met by Mayor Quincy and a dele
cation representing the Home Market Club,
the Chamber of Commerce and other num-
icipal bodies. The admiral rode at the head
of a column Of ten thousand war veterans
through the city's principal streets. to the
Hotel Touraine, which will be his home
during his three days stay. The admiral's
escort tonight was the naval veterans. and
following them were a post of the Massa-
chusetts department Of the Grand Army
and Spanish war veterans. All the streets
were profusely decorated, and crowds lined
the sidewalks. Red fire was burned lavishly.
The admiral. after dinner. witnessed a fine
display of fireworks on Boston common,
from his apartment in the hotel, and retired
soon afterwards. Tomorrow he will have
an arduous day. as he will attend many
functions. In the forenoon he will hear the
school children sing on the common; be pre-
sented a watch at the City Hall, and review
a parade which will include the entire state
militia. mobilized for it's fall maneuvers. In
the evening there will be a banquet at the
Algonquin Club. The admiral expects to
leave for New York on Sunday.

HOUSE FOR sCHLEY.
The Admiral Suggests that Action I'm
the Matter BE Deferred.


the Matter BE Deferred.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 13.-Members Of the
Womens National Industrial League called
upon Admiral Schley to-day and presented
the resolutions recently adopted by that
body, calling for subscriptions to purchase
a home for the admiral. He expressed his
appreciation Of the motives which actuated
the league and his willingness to leave the
matter in its hands, but suggested that be-
fore undertaking the scheme it might be
well to consider the advisability of BEGIN
ming such movement at such a time, when
embarrassment might occur to a large and
worthy class whose generous motives would
prompt them to contribute. While touched
by the desires Of the committee, the admi-
raj said that he ought to ask them to defer
the matter until the wants and needs of
cold winter, now coming on, have passed,
and its demands on the households of some
Of the great industrial workers have been
met before any provision is made for him.
The work of raising subscriptions will be
started at once. The plan is to have every
contributor give a dollar.

Boers Likely to lombard the Town
Before Trying to Occupy 1t.

CAPE TOWN. Oct. II. evening delayed
in transmssion.)- "A dispatch from Mafeking
dated 1923 o'clock this afternoon says 1t is
officially stated that the enemy will prob
ably approach this afternoon or Tomorrow
Parties will be sent TO watch on all sides
and guns will be posted on the high grounds
southeast of town. 1t is likely the enemy
will shell the town for some hours before
attempting to take 1t by assault. Already
the Beers complain. They want to attend
to their crops and many are deserting. Meat
is scarce and dysentery is prevalent. If the
garrison does nothing ii is probable the
Beers will retire. giving the garrison in the
meantime opportunity for hitting them hard.
The garrison must be ready to seize and
utilize such opportunities.
Information has been received from an
other source that the Beers have actually
crossed the frontier some miles south OF the
town. This informa ton Is believed to be
correct. though 1t lacks confirmation.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HAT?
From J. B. Simon Co, the Main
 Street Haberdashers.

The policemen were not satisfied with new suits, but they must have new hats. Their suits are beautiful ores. They look like captain in the regular army in their new pants with strlpe down the side.
 They say that if you have a new suit of clothes and ap old hat that you are not in it, in the way of dress But the policemen are there good and strong They purchased their bats from the up-to date hab erdashers, the J. B. Simon Co.
 The policemen feel proud, look good, and tue Simon Co have insti- tuted the old saying today among the citizens regarding the police men's headgear. and everybody is asking "where did you get that hat?"

 Parade.

The much read aeour, talked of aLd advertised Norris Bros. Trained Animal Show amived in the city Sunday morning Iapd pitched their large waterproof tents on the va- cant lot on the southwest corner of Cherry and Pullen streets. At eleven o'clock th9 parade started and proved to be one of the most novel and attractiyestreetd demonttrations ever seen in thls city. Scores of Beautiful Shetland ponies, dozens os monkeys, goats and the cutest, bon- Biest. little vehicles. The streets were well filed with men, women and children who showed their ap- prtciation by exclamati0ns of "Oh, and "ah," etc. The first peIform- anee was given this afternoon be- fore all audience that filled every available spa in the vast amph. theatre. They remain just one day, giving a performance tonight at s o'clock. The entertain aent they give is really fae, high class, moral and instructive, and the admission fee in the reach of all. The show is twice the size of any similar attrae- ton. There was more genuine laughter from the old folks and cries of delight from the tots that one of ten has the pleasure of hearing. The person who does not find pleasure in the tricks ano antics that Prof. Nor ris has in lis charge, must be indeed blaze. There was not an act from beginning to end that dil not com mand close attention and some ot the special features We're so good as to merit a det8iled description. Ear go, the smallest elephant in the world, went through an act that was astonishing.

REGULAR EXODUS.
Of Mohammedans Has Set In from tha
 Island of Crete.

Of M0hammedans Has Set In from th4
 Island of Crete.
 A regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in, and, as there seems to be no way of stopping it, 1t is believed that the Porte will soon make virtue of necessity and pass the word for all true Mussulmans to quit the island. Although large sums of money have been distributed at Can- dia among those willing to stay, be- sides free gifts of timber for the re- construction of their houses, boats con- tinue to leave crowded with emigrants. The news of Prince Georges visit to Candid only gave fresh stimulus to ths exodus, and, at latest accounts, the prospect was that the whole Mussul- man population would soon be gone. The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England of being principally to blame, since she, of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. It is not denied that England has endeav- ored, in a certain measure, to fulfill her promises, but, as the Christian Cre- tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin- habitable for Mosiems, it is practical ly impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain.
