William J. Hogg gave last night at
their residence, "a Elm street, in honor
of their son, George Hogg of Brook
line, and his bride.
The house, which has lately been re-
modelled, was decorated simply, for the
interior furnishings are so elegant as
to require no extra adornment. Red
and white roses prevailed IN the floral
decorations. In the diningroom and IL
brary. which are noted for being the
most spacious in the city, there were
red and white roses; the diningroom
table was banked in roses, with cam
delabra shades to match. Pink and
white roses were the feature in the
drawing room, while the Turkish rom
was in yellow. Rebboli served a hand
some supper continuously through the
evening, and music was furnished ~
an orchestra of five pieces.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hogg stood to re-
ceive with their son and daughter in
the pink reception room. Mrs. William
Hogg wore black chiffon embroidered
in steel; Mrs. George Hogg wore her
wedding gown. There were no ushers,
as the affair was intended to be in
formal The rooms were packed from
s o'clock until 10. Among those present
were DR.. and Mrs. Archibald McCul-

owned by his father and uncle. His
entrance into the employment of the
Worcester corporation was followed by
several improvements in the process
OF manufacturing wire. Among them
may be noted the Introduction Of con-
tinuous machinery, the use Of the dia-
mond die, the substitution of a water
and lime coat for wire, to take the
place of the much more costly coating
of flour, the starting of the plant for
making patent crucible steel and steel
rope, and many other improvements of
the first Importance, all of which tend
ed in a great degree towards the de-
velopment of the business with which
he had become identified.
Mr.. Smith was the Washburn &
Moen representative at the worlds
fair, where the company carried off no
fewer than % medals and As diplomas,
a larger number of awards than was
won by any other single concern in the
country. For ten years he was identi-
fed solely with the manufacturing de-
partment of the Grove street office, but
two years ago he was placed in charge
of the selling department of barb wire
and specialties. He is a member of
Worcester County Commandery
Knights Templars and is a S2d de-
gree Mason. He has held the office of
vespyman Of st. Johns Episcopal
church.
His associates in the Washburn &
Moen concern determined to mark their
sense of appreciation of his worth in
some fitting way, and accordingly, Mr..
Smith was waited upon yesterday at
his residence, by Harry w. Whitney,
who brought with him u solid gold re-
peater center second, chronometer
stop, double case Hunter watch, which
he handed to Mr.. Smith as Tie gift of
his friends and co-workers. Inside the
outer case of the watch was the fol-
lowing inscription:

Accompanying the watch was an ar

Or bonfire on the windy hill
To light to softer paths and ways

In Jackets of rough brown canvas
And coats Of gray and blue.

arrest would be without a warrant: of
course, for the name of the tramp is a
secondary matter with the eager Con-
stables. The next day the prisoner would

Gossip of the Tickets-Approaching
Convention of Independent Re-
publicans and Democrats.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway, Jan. q.
There is no foundation for any of the
reports that the ticket of the Municipal
League will not be recorded or that the
league must circulate a petition to get
on the ballot. The matter was brought
to the attention of Cary Howard, presi-
dent of the league, and he at once stated
that all such talk is sheer nonsense The
idea probably started because of the fact
that two years ago the Municipal League
did not hold an Independent convention,
but made up a ticket of Endorsements
Those who are not favorable to the league
started the story that by so doing they
lost their identity as a party and would
therefore have to start out again.
This point was decided in the case of
the general election last fall, and is the
same in principle as the status Of the
fusion ticket. The Municipal League can
didates hold large votes, and although
there is nothing of record to show how
much of the vote was the result of the
Municipal League Endorsements and how
much was due to party nomination. Ii
has been decided that either party must
get the credit for it.
Some doubt has been raised as to the
eligibility of Henry Menges, who has been
nominated by the Republicans for School
Director from the Sixth Ward The law
declares that School Directors must he
heads of families, and in Menges' regis
tration certificate, sworn to by him last
August, he says he is not the head of a
household. He is the proprietor of a
barber shop. and has been in business here
for some years.
Councilman Brosnahan will not he a
candldate Tor reelection on anv Darty
ticket or independently. He is Chairman n
OF the Democratic committee charged
with the duty of nominating a convention
and is therefore barred from being a can
dldate at his party convention. 1t is nm
qerstood that Councilman Watkinson will
be an independent candidate from the
Sixth Ward. that Henneberry will fry
10 be elected from the First Ward. and
that Heitman will be an independent cam
cate for Councilman at large.
Much interest is being shown in the an
preaching convention to be held next
Monday and Tuesday by the independent
Republicans and Democrats respectiveIv
There is considerable doubt as TO the
candidates who will be nominated If
seems TO be understood that ex-Mayor
Davie will be candidate for Mayor, thotgh
whether he will run independently or he
Endorsed at either or both of the conyen-
tions, is not known. Judge Fred V. Wood
maygo before the Independent convention
either as candidate for Mayor of City Al
torney. 1t is generally conceded that CITY
Engineer Clement will be nominated hy
the Democrats. 1t is possible also that he
may receive the support of the Independ-
ents.

Mrs Corte OF Brooklyn Township called
on the Chief of Police and the County
Superintendent of Schools to-day, exhtb-
iting numerous black and blue bruises
on her 10-year-old boy, as proof Of Sc
we're beating she declares he received from
Principal Greenman of the Lockwood
School. According to Mrs. Corte's story,
there is pressing need for an inveStiga-
ton of the methods in vogue in the Lock-
wood School for furnishing children.
This is the second time my boy has
been severely beaten" said Mrs. Corte.
"On a former occasion he was beaten by
Mrs. Comstock, and when L went to the
school and made complaint the teacher
said she was very sorry and asked me
not to say any more about ii. She said
that she did not know she had so much
muscle and could mark a boy so much
by beating him. She came to my house
and was so sorry that / regretted having
shown the neighbors the marks on the
yesterday my boy came home with
dozen bruises on him, which had been
inflicted by Principal Greenman with a
heavy leather strap. His limbs were so
inf1amed that l had to battle him and
attend to him all night, and this morn
ing he could hardly put his right fool
to the ground. ] went to the principal
and he admits beating the boy, and was
surprised when he saw how Willie is COW
matter in the hands of Chief Fletcher
and he advised me to see Superintendent
Crawford. Mr. Crawford said that If
the circumstances are as represented. it
would be a case for prosecution, and
Judge Larue, Yho also inspected the boy,
has advised nfe to swear out a warrant
for Greenman's arrest.
THE whole trouble arose from my boy
picking up a pebble in the school yard.
In order to prevent the boys throwing
rocks a rule has been passed that there
shall be severe punishment for even pick
ing up a pebble. Willie picked up a peb-
BILE and was reported, and Greenman lost
his temper and beat the boy most un-
reasonably"
