II was in many respects a remark
able gathering which attended the
opening of the baseball season in Bos-
ton. In the grand stand could be seen
state and city officials, including the
governor and the mayor, prominent
business men, financial magnates and
doctors, lawyers and clergymen by the
dozen. Pretty girls and stunning
dresses could be seen all over the
grand stand.
Mayor Fitzgerald was greeted by
thunderous cheering as he came in be-
fore the game started with Mrs Fitz-
gerald and two OF his children. AS
the party made their way down 10 a
box at the front the cheering contin-
ued, and until long after they had
taken their seats.
AZ 3 o'clock precisely the band

and stood with barred head while the
crowds cheered once more Then he
raised his right hand in which was
the baseball, and threw it with pre-
cision into the outstrctchcd mask which
the umpire held and the season was

The oleomarrine dealers Of Boston
and vicinity were dealt severe blow
recently by n decision Of Internal Rev"
enue Commissioner John w. lerkes,
which states that all dealers in this
product who color il yellow come un-
der the classification of manufacturers
and are subject to a special tax Of 5000.
Heretofore these dealers have only
been paying the retail dealers tax on
Oleomargarine of s..
This action has been brought about
by the work of the Internal Revenue
Agent, j. G. +. Kincaid OF this city.
IL has been the habit of the dealers
in this product 10 send out circular
letters stating that they could sell the
uncolored oleomargarine to their trade
and furnish them when a bottle Of col
Oring matter; and that in case the
buyers did not know how to use the
coloring substance they could work it
for them and return the bittcr-resem-
bling product TO them.
One Of these circulars was secured
by Mr.. Kincaid and forwarded to Com
missioner Yerkes and the levying of
the 5000 per year on the dealers re-
suited.
fremont Temple was thronged one
night last week when Hebrews from
all over New England assembled 20
observe the anniversary of the Kish-
ineff massacre.

mo danger threatens the Untol
States from this religion or that re-
ligion. The dangers that do threaten
the republic come from irreligion. The
Ioosing OF the bonds of responsibility
to God are ever quickly followed by
the defiance of the responsibility To
man and the ensuing social corruption
and civil anarchy end with the man
on horseback or the foreign invader.
II congratulate YOU on your stead
fastness in the face of the long cen
turies Of persecution. ! ask of you
even greater devotion to the high
ideals in civic life so nobly championed

An Englishman studying Boston's
domestic architecture finds il worthy

simplicity and cheerful dignity. The
so-caled colonial style he finds special

ularly pleasing in its employment of
graceful pillars as adornments OF
porches and facades. He concludes Il
chatty newspaper interview on the
subject by saying that Boston has
more individuality than any other Am
erican city he has seen.
Such commendation cannot fail 10
please all who take pride in the New
England type of home as We have had

We are accustomed 10 say They built
houses better in those days" Perhaps
they did not build them SO well. from
