"Parting Stone" Still Stands.

Judge Dudley, who was born In 1875
and died in 1851. had penchant for
placing milestones along the highway
for the public benefit. He caused
these granite guideposts to be located
from Roxbury to Boston, and this par
ticular Eliot square stone called the
travellers attention to the fact that
northeriy he would journey to Cam
bridge and Watertown, while the cp-
posite direction would lead to "Ded.
ham and Rhode Island"
Center street, at the time the part
ing stone" was placed at It's head, was
known as the Dedham road, the name
of Center street" having been adopt
ed in 1926. This thoroughfare ex.
tends some miles before the Dedham
line Is reached.
So long as the parting stone" shall
rear its now somewhat battered head
above the soil of Eliot square 1t will
serve to keep in green remembrance
the name and fame of Chief Justice
Paul Dudley, one of Roxbury's most
worthy sons of the colonial days.
whose life of rs years was devoted to
the best interests of the people among
| whom his lot was cast. His father
and grandfather had both been gov
errors of the colony. and Paul Dudley
himself had been legislator, attorney
general and chief justice of the SUI
perior court of judicature.

Not Move Parsonage
WANTED TO LIVE in TOWN
Rev. G. w. Schroeder, Recently Chosen
Pastor Of Congregational Church,
Resigns Because Residence Is Too
Far From His Church Resignation
Is Accepted-successor Not Chosen,

i isa , n q = y p 2
Because the parsonage was about a
| mile south of town, and about that far
distant from the church, and because
| the church committee would not move
lit closer to the church, Rev. G. w.
Schroeder recently chosen pastor eof
the Green Mountain Congregations
church, has resigned. The resignation
has been accepted. The incident. and
the leaving of the pastor, has not
aroused any feeling among the church
members.
Rev. Mr.sSchroeder has been supply
ing at the Green Mountain church for
two months. Within the past few
weeks he accepted the passionate, and
at that time 1t was the understanding
that he would bring his family from
Dallas City, Ill, to Green Mountain, on
May 1.
Recently he requested that the par
sopage, which is little less than 9
mile from town, be moved within the
town, limits. The committee, could not
see its way clear to comply with the
request and refused. s5 ls
Sunday Mr.. Schroeder did not preach
at the church as usual. but instead his
resignation was presented and acted
upon. Mr.. Schroeder had promised to
come and deliver the Memorial Sun
day address next Sunday, but 1T is not
known now whether he will or not. In
case he does not another speaker will
be secured. 81
The supposition in church circles IS
that Mrs. Schroeder. upon learning
that the parsonage was In the coun-
try. was not favorable to moving to It.

REV, FRANCIS ON RUSSIA.

ST. Pstersbhrc Preacher lectures Be-.
fore the searchIisht Club.
Rev Alexander Francis, an Episcopal
L rector and pastor Of the British
American union church. of St. Peters
burg, Russia, Iectured before small
audience OF Searchlight club members
Y at the Railroad z. M. G. a. Tuesday
night on life In Russia. Rev. Francis
y ID deep student Of Russian affairs.
especially Of the social conditions Of
I the peasants. His discussion OF Russia
was very interesting, and the audience
Cleaned much from the speakers four
! teen years experience in that country.
Much q Rev. Mr.. Francis lecture
/ was devoted to the common people, and
5 to the causes and reasons for the FREE
Qaent assassinations Of officials and
polics. "a So
ss The animus OF the people. Or. Fran
els said, was. continually directed
against the police because they were
the voluntary representatives Of the
cxar. No such feeling is held against
the soldiers, because their service in
the army is compulsory. The hate held
for the Russian officials IS the hate
!, for the Office, not the man, and ex-
officials are seldom assassinated.
The hold-up Of the people and the
stealing OF public funds is done, the
! speaker said, generally to the interest
Of the revolutionary cause, and the
money so secured is turned into the
revolutionary treasury.
He touched on the methods employed,
to carry out the revolutionary propa-
ganda, andsthe system Of taxation. He
said that nearly everybody keeps an
album containing the pictures OF as,
sassiris, whom they idolize.
Regarding the home life, Mr.. Francis
said that the pea SAINTS live in houses
With one room dply. A man living in
1 twb-roomS house is considered rich.
They live surrounded by filth and cock
reaches The people are domiciled
mostly in villages, and go out to work
the land allotted Them by the govern
lnent. No Improvements are made on
the land. because allotmentS are
changed every two or three years. The
taxes are levied on the village, not on
the individual. Villages are governed
by town meeting, system similar to.
the New England plan. Every head of
THE family has an equal voice. No
one leaves a village without the con-
sent OF the town meeting. Everybody
carries passport wherever they go,
and young man leaving the village.
must send money back home for par
erts and for land tax. No saloons are
operated without consent Of town
meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Francis is visiting in this
country to study educational systems.
and expects to remain a year. He is
confining his time largely to the coll
ieges.
