There are at present 81 inmates at the
Soldiers home in Tilton.
Free postal delivery is denied Berlin

of establishing a system of public kinder
gartens.
The Nashua Hardware company, with
capital of $40 200, has filed articles of
incorporation at the office of the secre-
tary of state at Concord.
T. w. Wheeler brought into Ports
mouth bass weighing 81 pounds. TWAS
caught in the lower harbor. The fish is
quite a novelty and the first to be caught
in that vicinity for long time.
The Manchester representatives of a
well-known beer have been informed that
the company has offered Mrs. Nation
$500 a month to enter its employ as a
lecturer of true temperance and to advo-
cate the moderate use of its beer.
The health authorities are confident
that Manchester will soon be free from
smallpox. Very few cases have been
reported the past week. Seven patients
have been discharged as cured from the
hospital, leaving only 10 there now, the
smallest number since November.
Fletcher Ladd of Laconia, known
throughout the state as a conscientious
lawyer and close student, has received
the appointment to fill judgship of the
court of first instance in the Philippines.
He is 50 years old and graduate of
Dartmouth college in the class of 1864.
Judge Laid will sail in about six weeks.
1t is authoritatively announced by one
of Congressman Sideways closest friends
that Mr.. Sulloway will be a candidate for
the republican nomination to congress
from the first district in 1902 Mr. Sui
loway is now closing his third term as
representative from that district, and has
been reelected for fourth term. If his
new ambition should be granted, he
would enjoy the unprecedented honor in
this state of having five Consecutive
terms in the house.
The February number of the National
Magazine contains an excellent likeness
of Senator-elect Henry E. Burnham of
New Hampshire, and says THE old
Granite state has elected Judge Henry
E. Burnham United States senator, and
he will be probably one of the strong
men at Washington. An orator of large
gifts, a broad man in every way, he will
do honor to New Hampshire. OF dis
tiDguished New England lineage, dating
back to John Bu1nham, who arrived in
the good ship Angel Gabriel in 1886,
from England, he is nevertheless a self
made man. Reared on farm, he is of
that rugged, self-reliant nature that
comes from homesteads of New Hamp-
shire, and is truly typical representa-
tive of the Granite state"
Special efforts are being made to put
the Mary Hitchcock hospital upon a
more firm financial basis, and there is
every indication that those who are be-
hind this movement will be successful.
1t is no secret that Hiram Hitchcock of
New Y ork, who founded the hospital in
memory of his wife, and who died re-
Gently, was the mainstay of the hospital
during his life. With the death of Mr.
Hitchcock, the hospital, finding one of
its principal sources of revenue suddenly
cut off, is much in need of funds, and the
Hospital Aid society, composed largely
of the most influential women of Han
over, including wives of the faculty of
Dartmouth college and others, is making
a commendable effort to raise funds for
the immediate needs of the hospital and
at the same time to devise some plan to
ensure its future substantial support.
