One of the busiest men in Boston
since the inception OF the tesmsters'
strike is Captain Cain Of Station 4,
and the way he has handled matters
I'm tho hotbed OF difficulties has given
a fine display OF his capabilities. The
captaia was on Albany street in citi-
ems dress one day recently, when some
OF the non-union men came along on
teams and at times there were many
problems TO be solved I'm the line OF un-
pleasant features, but Captain Gains
served 10 bring about Or
der, and no one suffered as a result.
His men fairly idolize him, for he is
the advocate Of the square deal with
all.
The trustees OF the Museum OF Fine
Arts, in accepting with great regret"
the resignation OF Mr.. William Endi-
colt an q member OF the board, ten
dered In February, recently adopted

Governor Guild is planning a reOr-
ganization OF the state police depart
ment The fact leaked out at recent
Of the executive council, when
the governor failed TO appoint a sue
cessor to the late Chief Shaw.
The ideas OF the governor are in line
with his inaugural message, when he
suggested more systematic division
OF the department.
UnderIhe governors plan there will
be a chief and a deputy as at present,
but with superintendent and assist
ant superintendent at the head OF each
OF the sub-departments, namely, de-
tective, boiler, factory and fire, there
by divorclng each from the other In its
work, with the logical result OF IN
creasing the efficiency OF each OF these
branches
The department now consists OF three
branches, namely. the detective force,
the boiler inspection force and the
factory inspection force. All have been
under one general head, but with sep
arate subheads. The fire marshals
force comes under the detective head.
II is understood that the governor
considers that with the coming in
crease in the members of the boiler in
spection force which he recommended
in his inaugural address, and the in
creasing duties OF the other branches
OF the department, there should be a
more systematic method of admins
tering the affairs OF the various
branches.

sentative citizens at the annual pub
lie meeting of the Watch and Ward So
clety In the Old South church a few
nights ago. s. b. Capen presided. He
said II would be great loss to the
community IL the work OF the society
should cease The evil Of bucketshops,
he stated, will be kept constantly be-
fore the public and the fight will be
kept up until they are a thing OF tho
past In this city.
Rev. Frederick B. Allen said that
Henry Chase, who was an executive
officer OF the society for 20 years, had
retired, and that J. Frank Chase had
been placed at the head OF the execu-
tive committee.
Mr.. Allen said the work OF the or
ganization was hampered by able law
yers in the pay of evildoers This was
especially so at the legislature, where
the greatest opposition is shown when
