AN EASTERN JOURNEY
Covering Three Months and the Love.
 Hest part of the Country

Dr. w. w. Hubbard, wife and daugh- ter returned yesterday morning after an absence from the city of three months, during which they traveled more than 1000 miles through coun- try in which one can find more enjoy ment in the summertime than ary other country in the world.
 Dr. and Mrs. Hubbard first went to Cleveland, O., where they left their daughter, continuing their journey to Buffalo by boat. They visited that old but ever new world wonder, Niagara Falls. which year by year gets to be more and more of an attraction. The New York Central alone carried 30 000 visitors to il this season. The next stopping place was Toronto which has been thoroughly Americanized and is in strong contrast to Montreal, which is an old French city planted on the American continent. Of it's population of 360,000, 2S0,000 are Catholics and the French language is chiefly spoken. They went to Montreal by the steamer Richelieu through the Thousand Isl- ands.
 From Montreal Dr. and Mrs. Hubbard visited Lake Champlain and Lake George, said to be the most beautiful body of water in the world and situ- ated in region rich in historic incident On July they passed down the Hud- sen and entered New York, where they remained five days. giving the whole time to sightseeing from the top of a tally-ho.
 The doctor had not been in the metro polls for twenty years, and the fact that struck him as the most remark able was that notwithstanding the great means that had been taken for the relief of the congestion by the building of bridges, elevated railroads and subways, to say nothing of the extensiCn of the city horizontally, up- ward and downward, it seemed to be as badly crow ded as it was score of years ago. At that time Fifty -nintn street was cut in the fields. Now they are tearing down on that thoroughfart almost new five and siX-story build ings in which millions have been in- vested, to build still greater.
 The most enjoyable part of the jour, ney was that to Boston and the sur rounding country. Boston is not quite SO much engrossed in money making as New York. It is still living partly
 
 memory of the past. In order to save the historic Boston Common a subway costing s7,0O0,000 has been built unde, it. The old state house was not torr down. but it was repaired so as to in terfere as little as possible with the olt part of at a. cost of sS,OOOOO0. All tho show places of Boston and it's work: i of art are known to all it's resident: 0f eight-year-old Italian boy showed tht doctor and his wife the Old Nortf church and pointed out the window at which Paul Revere hung his warn ing lantern. An Irish youth showed them kops hill, from which the Brit ish bombarded Bunker hill and where also Cotton Mather was buried. H, pointed out, too. the mound where the rigid Puritans buried unbapti2ed chil 1 dren presumably so that the devi would have as little trouble as possi ble in collecting them for eternal dam nation.
 | They visited also Worcester, Spring field and West Brookfield. where Dr Hubbard was born. They took dime at Ye Ancient Tavern, the oldest hos telrie in the United States. where tn,
 
 They ate in the same dlining-roon in which Washington and Adams haC | eaten and in which Lafayette wa: | served in 1925. Near West Brookfelt is the rock from which George Whit l field preached in 1765
 On their return they spent some tim at Cleveland, which has had a growtl of population of 300O0 within the las wear and which will shortly be the chic | city of Ohio and one of the great citie | of the country. There were many point | of interest there, but most of then have been frequently described. On which has perhaps not been so mucl heard of is the Lake View cemetery where is situated the Wade Memorial l an institution for the last attention t | be shown to the dead. There is sai 1 to be no where else in the United State such a nearly perfect arrangement l There is still another institution a i Cleveland for the care of the dead, O which not a great deal has been heard | That is a crematory which is growing in favor year by year especially amon l the wealthy and middle classes.
 There is a chapel in connection wit | it. and when the services are over tn | body is removed to another room an | placed in a great retOrt. It takes abou six hours to complete the work of in | cineration. All the time there is a bias | upon the burning body which blow away the wood ashes. leaving the in 1 destructibie salts which are gathere ! up into urns, of which various style are kept for sale. According tc the wisl of the last woman whose body wa | Cremated there her ashes were gath cred up and scattered upon Lake Erie Business conditions, Dr. Hibbart | said, are very good everywhere, bu | there is wide and steady fear tha | there is going to be serious labo | trouble, so that there is d good deal 0 hesitation among moneyed men.
