McGraW Did 1t.

Speaking about Colonel Blethen be-
ing at the head of the State Univer-
sity reminds the writer of quite a story
he heard in that connection few days
ago, which was to the effect that the
colonel was now president of the board
of regents of the State University ow-
ing to the fact that Ex-Governor John
McGraw had taken a personal interest
in him along this line and asked Gov
ernor Mcbride to reappoint him as one
the regents Of the university. OF
course, knowing the circumstances,
you will smile when you hear that
Governor McGraw actually interceded
in behalf of Colonel Blethen, but it is
true, and it all came about through
Prof. Ed. S. Meany, who is quite a
versity. Prof. Meany is a staunch
friend of Governor McGraw, and it was
through his influence that he got a
position at the State University. Then
came the Populist war, when the uni
versity was turned into a political hot
bed, and Governor Rogers appointed,
along with Colonel BIethen, other Pop
ulists, who did a great many radical
things. Somehow or other Colonel
Blethen managed to save Ed Meany's
scalp. and thereby hangs a tale.

around. 1t is but natural for children
to want other children to understand
that their parents are the most learn
ed and most influential parents in the
world, and in order to give daughter
Blethen such an opportunity to lord it
over her fellow students has doubt
less prompted the colonel to strike
long and hard for the success of the
State University.

men can repeatedly break the laws of
any city or community with impunity
and live, if the officers of the law are
honest in their efforts and intentions
OF preventing it. If the liquor vendors
at the lake will sell liquors contrary to
the laws, then they should be arrested
every ten minutes and fined not $50
but $500, of just as heavy fine as
the city can impose upon them, and
the assertion is here ventured that
such actions on the part of the police
would not be long in breaking up in
business such law-breakers.
II the members of the present city
council fail to pass an ordinance rails
ing the saloon license from $500 to
$1,000 per year, they will be remem-
bered by their constituents at the next
general election for not doing so, The
people Of this city have spoken on that
point in words of no uncertain mean
ing, and for the members of the city
council to do otherwise than to carry
out the will and wish of an overwhelm-
ing majority of the voters of this city
will be suicidal for them. The Pie
maker does not believe that the vari-
Gus members of the council will turn a
deaf ear to the wishes of the majority
OF the voters, even if such be contrary
to their individual belief and idea of
doing things in general If imposing
a $1,000 license on saloon-keepers
work a hardship it will soon be dis
covered, and the voters will be as
eager to repeal it at the next election
as they were to enact it, and it is the
duty Of the various councilmen to
carry out the express will of their con-
stituents. Let them have a samnle
of their desires and wishes. and if if
works hardship they are the ones to
right the wrong.
The Pie-maker surmises that Frank
Clancy must have felt like dog in the
face the other day when Councilman
Patrick Fitzpatrick from the First
ward cody informed Mr.. Clancy that
ne owed nothing to the saloon keepers
and gamblers of the First ward: he
was not elected by them, and therefore
they held no strings whatever on him.
1t has always been thought that Mr.
Fitzpatrick was a creature of the
clancy brothers, and so far as his
nomination is concerned perhaps he
was, but after he was nominated there
is no denying the fact that the saloon
men and the gamblers supported Tom
my Navin almost to a man, and that
too, without regard to their
former political Affiliations. Mr..
Fitzpatrick is aware of that
TACT, and Notwithstanding the
tact that that class of men voted and
worked against him, he was elected
over Mr.. Navin by an overwhelming
majority, and it is but natural for him
now to feel bit sore with them and
give them to understand that thew
need not or should not expect any ia
Vors whatever at his hands as q men,
Der of the city council. And then
again, Clancy must have felt deeply
chagrined to learn from Mr.. Fitspat-

Blethen's Hard Work.


During the entire time Colonel
Blethen was regent of the university
under Governor Rogers he seems to
have been the universitys most ar
dent champion, both in his paper and
in personal way. He took an inter
est in it's general welfare, which re-
suited in it getting many new improve
ments and many new things that it
otherwise could not nor would not have
gotten. Finally his term of office ex-
pired, and then it was that Ed. Meany
took hand in his reappointment. He
went to Governor McGraw to ask him
to assist in getting Colonel Blethen re-
appointed, but, remembering how
Colonel Blethen had treated the gov
ernor, he hesitated and left without
telling his mission. This he did three
or four times in succession, until he
finally braced up and explained him
self to the governor and said to him,
Nov, wish you would do what you
could for the reappointment of Colonel
Blethen, as he can aid the university.
owing to the fact that he has a large
paper in the city, more than any other
of its regents" Mr.. McGraw hesitated
for a moment, looked up at him and
then quietly asked him, IF you were
me would you assist Colonel BIethen? ?"
This unexpected report placed Prof.
Meany in rather awkward position.
and he frankly replied, so goes the
story, Il don't think would, but YOU
are not me, and that is why ask this
OF you" Before he left, however, Gov
ernor McGraw had consented to inter
cede with Governor Mcbride for the
appointment, which he did, saying at
the time, Governor, it will be the only
political favor that l will ask of you"
and while those about the governor at
the time looked awfully funny at John
H. McGraw asking for a place for
Colonel Alden J. Blethen, and the gov
ernor looked equally funny, yet he
agreed to make the appointment, and
1t was done.

Pick-Ups.

The printers ball team will go to
Williamsville Saturday to cross bats
with the club of that village.
March is a good ball player, the
most consistent and at the same time
the most brilliant, game after game in
all departments of the game, in the
whole bunch. He might easily be
the first favorite with the fans if he
would curb his tendency to talk. On
a ball field the captain is supposed to
do the talking for the whole team,
aside from coaching.
1t is easy enough for any blatant
individual to open the gap in his COM
pleXion and give vent to these words :
"Oh, you are rotten" whenever the
umpire gives a decision which is
at variance with the opinion held by
said blatant individual. Such a re-
mark casts the odium and discredit
of not being a gentleman upon the
person who utters it rather than upon
the umpire. 1t is generally admitted
that Mr.. Cressy's umpiring has not
been biased by favoritism, that he is
thoroughly conversant with the rules
of the game, and that his judgment,
while of course not infallible. has ex-
celled that of any umpire seen on the
local grounds in recent years. One
has only to remember what other Of
ficials have done in this capacity to be
satisfied with Mr.. Cressy's work.
But the kickers and knockers We have
with us always.

FALL FOR THE LEADERS.
Durham Brothers Finally Went Down
1871, Before Y. M. c. A.-March
Got Another Home Run.

The leaders were given a fall Sat
urday by Y. NJ. c. A., u to Z, in the
best game, all things considered, of
the series. Stevens did the Santos
Dumot act at short, but otherwise the
game was sharply played. Crowell
was in the box for Y NJ. c. A. for his
first league game. He was steady
and effective, being touched safely on
ly six times, and never for extra bases.
March covered lots of ground and
handled everything that came his way.
Four of his nine chances were difficult
fly balls. Ferriter and Johnson were
much in evidence, both with difficult
catches in the outfield, and hard hit
ting, each getting four hits with a
total OF five. In the fourth inning
March drove the ball over the right
field bank for home run. Ellis was
steady in his pitching, as usual, but
was hit harder than at any time this
season. Allen caught we'll, pulling
down several high fouls. Stoltes
work at short was again praiseworthy
c. Ellis covered third in good form,
and did the best hitting for the shoe
men.

Killed by a Fall.

Edward Bowler. 10. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Bowler of Jamaica Plain.
fell Monday afternoon from a scaffold
to the floor of DR.. G. B. Underwood S
barn in Gardner Mass, and fractured
his skull close to the base of the brain.
Edward, and his sister. Nellie. came to
Gardner Saturday for a visit to their
aunt, Mrs. j. B. Donnelly. Their
father, who accompanied them. re.
turned home Sunday The lad was
alone in the barn when he fell, and
was found by Glenn Underwood his
companion, on his return after leaving
Edward for only a few minutes. The
injured lad was groaning and making
frantic efforts to raise himself from the
floor. He evidently attempted to
climb a ladder while holding some
paper pictures in his hand, lost his
balance, and fell probably 25 feet.
The ladder was lying across his body
when he was found. His uncle DR.. ].
B. Donnelly, left Gardner in a short
time to take the boy to the Massa-
chusetts General hospital, but he died
in the North station in Boston. His
mother was at the station when he ar
rived and saw him before he died. Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Bowler. grand.
parents, and Mr. and Mrs. Percy Haigh
went from here Tuesday to attend the
funeral which took place Wednesday
at o'clock from the church of the
Blessed Sacrament in Jamaica Plain
Mass.
