10 the Pacific coast
Andrew Stang, president OF the Win
nlpeg Board of Trade, makes the Toll
lowing reference 10 MIR. HiIs enter
prise. in which Boston is consplcuols!y
mentioned:
"The Great Northern will come into
Winnipeg from the East, and VIII con-
tinue on through western Canada to
the Pacific coast. This projected line
will begin at a connection from Mont
real with Boston, Mass. From Mont
real west the line will parallel the
Canadian Pacific, and one very pleas
ing feature of the undertaking is that
Mr.. Hill asks no bonus. lie seeks a
right Of way and is willing to pay
fair price for IT,"
John Schdlofski, the convicted muir
derer of his wife, was sentenced to
death by Judge Lawton in the East
Cambridge court last week. The late
of the death penalty was fixed for the
week beginning Sunday, July s.
The sentencing of the prisoner was
accomplished in record time TWO
minutes after he was brought into the
court room and placed in the dock
the death penalty had been imposed
by the presiding Judge, and almost be-
fore the man had an opportunity 10
comprehend the nature of the proceed
ings he was led across the street 10
the Jail, knowing almost 10 day the
length OF time he will remain on earth.
The condemned mans lawyers an
nounced soon after the jury had re-
turned a verdict of guilty that there
would be no appeal in the case and
therefore there is little probability that
anything will intervene 10 stay the
execution Of the coJrts orGcr.
The chessboard has It's dangers. Just
as serious as the chances Of the more
strenuous sports.
Harry n. PiIsbury, the greatest
chess expert America has ever had and
one of the worlds greatest authori-
ties on the ancient game has broken
down mentally as result OF his play
ing. Ills malady amounts at times TO
violent insanity.
Pillsbury is "a Boston man, and his
triumphs on the chcssboard have been
n source of great pride TO his thOuS-
ands of friends in his native city,
One stranger to our city is convinced
that IL is not best 10 be too wise and
up-to-date in regard to slang. The
other day he wished 10 go TO Brock
ton, but at the South Terminal could
not find the Brockton track. He
asked the information man, he ask
ed IA conductor, he asked boy tend
ing newsstand, and they one and all
replied "23," which he took to mean
that they were bidding him "skidoo,'
back to the woods etc.
Thinking it would be a lesson to
correct this flippant insolenCe the man
went around to the chief officials Of
flee and unburdened himself. The Of
fetal smiled happily,
ton train actually ran out on Track No.
23 and they told you the exact truth"
he explained. ITS really too bad,
for you've just missed your train"
There are two Boston institutions
city in matters of humanity extends to
horses as well rs to human beings.
One is Red Acre farm the charitable
home and hospital for horses AT Stow,
and the other is the wurk-horse par
ade.
There is and has been for some
years, work-horso parade in London,
and another in Liverpool. but these are
almost entirely shows for rich men
and rich corporations. The horses
are Of one type-thc monster cart
horse, and the poor but humane horse
owner gets no recognition from them.
The Boston parade, on the other
hand, includes every variety of work
horse, from big to little.
The newness or splendor of harness
or vehicle counts for nothing; and the
Older the horse the better his chance
of winning first prize, provided that
his condition is good Age counts in
favor of, not against horse i'm the
Boston work-horsc parade
In the death of Nathaniel Southgate
Shaier, dean of the Lawrence scienti-
fc school and professor of geology at
Harvard university, Cambridge loses
perhaps its most popular teacher, and
the world of science will mourn one
Of its most earnest and accomplished
sons.
President Eliot said not long ago in
conferring a degree upon Prof. Shaler
that the recipient was a naturalist
and humanist," phrase which hap
PLY characterized unique combina-
ton of ideals and achievements.
What distinguished Professor Shall

workers was the breadth of his human
