First, To thank you for the hearty

ties required of them by our amended

May God bless you in the work, and

fidence of the educational forces of the

FAMOUS sousA's BAND TONIGHT

Sousa will be here tonight with his
great band, and the March King" is
certain to have a cordial welcome from
his many admirers who can thus testify
to their pleasure in the great success
achieved by the American conductor
and composer in Europe last summer.
Returning travellers have long since
told how Sousa was the one distinct
success of the Paris Exposition, where
he created more favorable comment and
attention than any single feature of that
great show. "SouSais band is corps
of skilful ana trained instrumentalists.
Mr.. Sousa does not content himself
with beating time with Yankee origi-
nality; he composes irresistible and
strongly accentuated marches and other
fantasies which have charm and dis
tinction." TIE Sousa concert will take
place tonight at the Academy of Music.

PASSES HIS TINE READING.
Jesse POmerOy, the boy Degenerate,

II Jesse Pomeroy the boy murderer in
Charlestown prison, the juvenile fiend in
carnate of 1876, be released from custody,
to-day he would come forth one of the
most thoroughly read men of his age in
Boston or in the world, so far as Eng
fish literature is concerned. Since Sept.
IL, 1876, the date he entered prison, until
now he has spent almost the whole of
his time when not sleeping or eating in
reading. He has had access to the prison
library and has perused everything from
the lightest novel up to the choicest
classic.
When condemned to life Imprisonment
he was extremely illiterate. Although
pervert, he possessed a brain which was
otherwise above the average.
His thinking faculties were sharp
shrewd and quick. over twenty-four
years spent in a prison cell has not
dimmed them. To-day at the age of
Al, he is just as active mentally as ne
was when as a youth he concocted the
crimes which startled the country.
He does no work whatever except that
which is necessary to keep his cell clean"
said Warden Bridges. Most prisoners
doing solitary want employment. They
make unique canes and curios to keep
their minds employed but Pomeroy Is
inherent. All ne wants IS DOCKS, and
he devours them with the greatest avid
| ity. Lifetime prisoners who are not
condemned to solitary confinement usual
ly die before they have spent a quarter
of a century in prison, and the average
convict becomes mentally queer after
eight or ten years behind the bars.
"Pomeroy is a phenomenon. He is to-
day hale. hearty and of sound mind,
barring his homicidal mania. He is quiet
and tractable but we always keep n
sharp eye on him, for be is deep and
crafty. He eats and sleeps well and
will probably enjoy his meals as well If
not better than any other man in the
prison. The majority of people imagine
that he is confined in little AXIS cell.
but that Is a mistake. HIS quarters are
commodious. well furnished and supplied
with two windows"
Pomeroy confidently expects TO receive
pardon and frequently talks to his
guards about it when his food is passed

A man who had been west for several
years accommodating large fortune re-
