The proposition to erect upon the
slopes Of Bunker Hill Il memorial to tn"
British soldiers who fought there on
that memorable morning of Jun" II,
HIS arnuscs Il variety of emotions in
the breasts Of patriotic Americans who
celebrate Bunker Hill day with 50
much enthusiasm and Eunpowder on
each recurring year. Many Amcri-
from chronic Anglnphnbia, do not rel
ish the proposition. But on the other
hand many Americans conceive that
the glory surrounding the names of
Prescott. Warren, Putnam and their
than dimmed ny the recollection of the
gallantry Of the men against whom
they fought and who finally, though
not until their ammunition was cX-
hausted. drove them from the field.
The fact that 10 per cent. Of the Brit
ish troops engaged in that battle, that
is. about 1000 out Of 10000. were either
killed or wounded on that June morn
ing. shows how determined the stand
and how deadly the aim of the raw
colonial troops. and il also attests the
valor of the redcoats. So it is argued
that it really becomes a part Of the
homage due our ancestors TO commend
the fighting qualities of the British
soldiers who charged again and again
up the slopes of Bunker Hill in the face
of that Hxurderous fire.

consists almost entirely of realty In this
city, and is probably close to 1000, coo in
actual value.
Half century ago the Folsom family
was one of the most prominent in society
and politics in this state. Today her only
relative and heir is her brother George
Winthrop Folsom. He collects an income
of S1J0.O01 a year from the thrty-eight
properties which she owns and from the
bonds, stocks and mortgages, amounting to
S2JO000, included in her estate. For his
services as committee of her. person and
estate he is allowed 10000 year by the
supreme court.
Miss Folsom is sixty-four years old. Her
malady is marked by recurrent periods of
insanity, which Of late have been increas-
ing in violence. and now threaten to end
her life. In the sanitarlum she occupies a
suite of four rooms with a dining room.
Two nurses are in constant attendance and
everything that money can buy is given to
her to add to her comfort or crafty her

The two children were the first victims
