 HIS MAJESTY ''-Among the docu- ments received at the office of the gov erncr was a petition for an appoint ment to the humble but honorable posi- tion of notary public.

 He cares very little for them In this case though the petitioner landed so hard that all other business at the ex- ecutive office was sidetracked for the making out of the notary's commits sion.

In answer to a request to respond to c toast, Dr. Dennett asked to be ex- cused until next year, but when the committeeman wrote that Dr. Frank | lin" had been selected as one of the toasts and had been assigned to him Dr. Dennett reconsidered his deciina- tion and wrote in part as follows: Your selection Of Dr. Franklin was q very persuasive subject. as I hold q very kind feeling toward the memory of that illustrious patriot who gave me so much pleasure some years ago. As you may know. Franklin left fund to be held in trust for long term of years, the income then to become avail able for the purchase Of medals which should be awarded annually to gradu- ates of the Boston public schools.

 l A PERIPATETIC MERCHANT Marshal Kinney arrested Richard White yesterday morning about z % o'clock near the M. &, P. depot on the charge of vagrancy. of which he wa. convicted later in the day and sent tu l jail for thirty days. When arrested ne had in his possession a couple of very | marked s and which he was offering to sell at $1 each, a number of fountain pens which he offered at 75 cents each. and a phony ring which he was ready to make most any kind of deal on. In order to prove that he was doing a regularly established mercantile busi ness he said he had a partner and also a grip cached out down the railroad 1 line with other merchandise in it. il . also said he got his goods by express. Investigation showed this to be true, i for he stopped a the Phoenix hotel the night before and also got some goods here by express. MT. Kinney thought when he saw the fountain pens that he had the lad that robbed Elvey &. Huiett but there was nothing similar in the quality of the goods, for these pens would be expensive at any price. This theory was given up. but the fact that he refuses to tell where the grip Is or what is in it makes the officer sus- pect that he has something in it that will not stand investigation.
