Dauntless Teddy, entered as a buff
falo hound at the New England kennel
show, is attracting much attention, and

Forty years ago Alexander Agassiz
the eminent scientist OF Harvard Uni
versity, became superintendent OF the
Calumet a. Hecla copper mines Of Lake
Superior, which his father, Louis, the
great naturalist, had examined some
time before. Mr.. Alexander Agassiz
developed these deposits until they be-
came the most successful copper mines
In the world
Mr.. Agassiz's deepest interest In life
however, has not been the accumula-
tion of immense wealth; he has main
tained his connection with Harvard
university throughout the years, and
he is probably the only example In
modern times OF the absorbed scientific
Investigator at the head of an almost
fabulously profitable commercial enter
prise which already has paid It's stock
holders dividends amounting TO over
a hundred million dollars
Mayor Fitzgerald admitted the other
day that mistake had been made in
the computation of his age and that the
record I'm the Office of the registrar of
births, deaths and marriages. wherein

1868, is correct If this record is cor
rect, and the mayor assumes that II Is,
then he is "A years of age, or two years
Older that he was supposed TO be when
he celebrated his anniversary a few
days ago
On that day Alderman Woods Of
Brighton sent the mayor AZ roses. The
alderman got his cue from the munich
pal register, which recorded the fact
that Mayor Fitzgerald was born in
1865. These figures, it is claimed, were
copied from the Congressional Direc-
tory, where the mistake originally was
made

DR.. Austin Peters, chief OF the state
cattle bureau, had long conference
one afternoon recently with the gov
ernor and council Dir. Peters was call
ed In principally because of the inn
presSior abroad as to his having issued
general orders, effective practically
throughout the state, as to the muzzling
OF dogs. Because the council had Civ
en- no such authority 10 the head Of
the cattle bureau, the members were
desirous of discovering just what had
been done by DR., Peters,
AS result of the conference tho
members of the council believe that
much has been laid at the door of the
cattle bureau which doesn't belong
there and that there is I'm the public
mind mistaken notion OF the sltua-
tion. II developed at the conference
that the rabies scare I'm this state Is
