Decorations and Parades

Probably the feature of Old Home
Week which will appeal most strongly
to the visitors and linger longest and
most delightfully."- in their memory will
be the decorations. This important
matter is not to be left to the haphaz-
ard Judgment of individuals or firms,
but a harmonious color scheme and a
unity of design will govern all decora-
tions whether public or private. c.
Howard Walker. the famous artist and
architect, has been engaged to take
charge of this matter, and something
unusual, striking and artistic may De
expected
The Old Home Week committee has
also been exceedingly fortunate in Sc
curing the cooperation of men of such
national reputation as Lieut.. Gen. Mel
son A. Miles, u. S. A, and Maj. Gen.
William A. Bancroft in arranging street
parades. The civic and trades process
sion on Wednesday will probably eclipse
anything ever given in Boston, while the
military parade on Saturday will in
clude the mobilization Of the entire state
militia
Every evening during Old Home
Week the city will be fairly ablaze with
light. With the Public Garden and
Copley square as local points an elab-
crate plan of electric and gas light
illumination will extend in one direction
across the Common and include a beau
tiful electric fountain in the frog pond
and in the opposite direction up Hunt
ington avenue to the Mechanics build
ings. The decorations andN illumina-
tions will cost Boston not less than
$25, 900.

BOSTON, June 14.--oston promises
to be one of the most talked about
cities in the United States for the next
few weeks-and all on account of an
Idea born in the mind of it's mayor,
John F. Fitzgerald.
Boston Old Home Week, July 2S to
August 8, has been set aside to enter
tain former residents of the city. Not
less than 100000 visitors are expected,
and in consequence the Hub is in a
hustle of preparation and enthusiasm
over the affair. A committee of 1000
citizens was appointed by the mayor,
from which an executive committee of
seventy-f1ve was selected. The execu-
tive committee holds weekly meetings
at the mayors office. A smaller COM
mittee of sixteen members, known as
the administrative committee, holds
frequent meetings and is really the
working force of the organization.
Numerous subcommittee have been
appointed, such as committees on pa
rades, decorations, illuminations, base
ball reunion, finance, fishermen's race.
historic sites, horse show, hotel and
room, music, names and addresses,
press and publicity, retail merchants,
rowing regatta, transportation, veter-
an f1remen's muster. wheelmen's meet,
etc., and are hard at work on their
different assignments.

4 campaian, of Publicity

The publicity work and the details OF
preparing letters, circulars, advertise
ments and reading articles are handled
through the new municipal publicity
bureau, and Thomas F. Anderson of that
office is director of the Old Home Week
committee. The newspapers all over
the country are doing grand good work
in telling their readers about the at
fractions. The railroads are co-operat-
ing splendidly and are not only giving
the Boston Old Home Week wide pub
licity, but have agreed to give reduced
rates of one first class fare plus 81
for the round trip, thus making it quite
an object for those planning to come
east to include Boston in their trip.
Not less than 100000 will be ex-
pended by Boston in entertaining the
home corners. The city has appropri-
ated S25, 900 and the balance is being
raised without difficulty by popular sub
scription. Some of the best known
financial men of Boston are serving on
this committee.

Good Music a Feature

Boston, the home of the famous Bos-
ton Symphony orchestra, the Handel
and Haydn society. the Kneisel quartet
and the New England Conservatory of
Music, is celebrated as a center of
musical education and culture. The
musical features of the week will,
therefore, be important. Besides a
series of sixteen band concerts at diff
ferent points during the week the
music incidental to the oration will be
well worth hearing as an example of
highest class orchestra and choral
music.
There will be picked orchestra of
fifty musicians, the majority from the
Boston Symphony orchestra. and a
chorus of between 200 and 300 trained
voices from the Handel and Haydn
society. Mr.. Emil Mollenhauer, one
of the most popular orchestra conduc-
tors in the city, will WELD the baton
on this occasion.
There will also be concert recital
in one Of the smaller halls illustrative
of the musical educational work of
the city music department.

RAILROAD PASS.

1t has come to the ears of mem
bers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission that certain Congress-
men are travelling on railroad
passes. The offenders are said to
be many. The names Of some of
them are known, and in the case of
one Southern member at least the
number of the pass has been Sc
cured.
But may not Congressman who
is employed by a railroad compa-
ny ride on passes just as any other
employee doess This is the prob
lem with which the commission is
confronted. The general public
has been under the impression
that he is expressly forbidden to
do so. In fact, when the Hep
burn act was being considered this
very phase was thoroughly
thrashed out and the country at
large was led to believe the ''old
reliable" had seen its day as an
infuencer of Legislation and a.
moldsr of legislation.
On the strength of this PROPOSE
ton many rural voter was rec
onciled to the so, 800 increase in
congressional salaries granted at
the last session. Representatives
and Senator'S alike gave the cutting
off of passes as the principal rea-
son for voting themselves more
pay. The act to regulate COM
merce, as amended June 20, 1907,
says:
mo common carrier, subject to
this act shall, after Jan. /, 1907,
issue or give any interstate free
ticket, free pass or free transpor-
tation for passengers except its
employees and their families, its
officers, agents, surgeons, physi-
clans and attorneys at law.
In ruling on this case the Inter
state Commerce Commission said:
1.-THE provisions of the act rela
tive to the issuance of free tickets,
free passes, free transportation Of
free carriage to employees of car
riers apply only to persons who
are actually in the service of the
carriers and who devote substan-
italy all their time to the work or
business of such carriers.
Under this Interpretation of the
aw 1t is up to offending Congress
men to speak up and declare which
master he is serving. If he is quail

all of his time to a rail

Death OF Mrs. Everett.

Another good citizen was called
from the walks of life to eternity
last Monday, death resulting from
paralysis and congestion and Of
few hours duration only. Mrs.
Everett was stricken at 30o'clock
Monday morning and died Monday
night, Nov. 4, at $50.
/ Mrs. Tennessee Polk Everett
was Miss Dodson before she be-
came the wife of Mr.. Everett.
She was born in Maury County,
Tenn, Oct. 81, 1914, and in 1866
was married to Jas. A Everett.
During the same year they moved
TO Obion County and located one
mile southwest of Troy. On the
banks of Mill Greek Everett a.
Faux erected one of the largest
grist mills of that period, a steam
plant, frame building three stories
in height. Here Mr.. and Mrs.
Everett lived and grew into the
esteem and fellowship of the peo-
pie thereabout. In 1874 they sold
to Mr.. FauIk and bought of VIM.
Gibbs the land now known as the
Everett farm, lying near Union
City on the west. Here the in
fluence and hospitality of the
Everett household continued to
expand. Five children were born,
three Of whom survive. Mr..
Everett's death occurred in Feb,
1896. Those who survive are
Knox Everett, Mrs. S. H. Stone
and Chas. Everett. Mrs. Everett
resided at the old homestead with
her son, Chas., until she died.
In 1892 Mrs. Everett professed
faith in Christ and joined the
Cumberland Presbyterian church.
She was woman of great mental
and physical activity and attended
to her household duties until
death unexpectly came. There
was not a more hospitable fireside
nor q more hearty welcome
than that of the home where the
kindly, whole hearted good wo-
man presided. Many q visitor,
from the highest to the humhlest,
has been blessed by her kindness,
and those who knew her best were
warmest in her praise.
In her death worthy and use
full life has been ended. There is
no measure of words which will
estimate the influence of charac-
ter like Mrs. Everett, whose life
was full of years and golden deeds.
A warm heart, o generous hand
and a living soul was hers, ever to
be cherished with fond and endur-
ing memory.
The remains were escorted to
the Cumberland Presbyterian !
Church in this city, where tribute
was paid by concourse of friends,
services being conducted by Rev.
Hudgins, after which they were
aid to rest by her late companion

BRYCE ON EDUCATION
BRITISH AMBASSADOR ORATOR
AT BRYN MAWR.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 6.-James
Bryce the British ambassador, was the
orator today at the commencement exer-
cises of Bryn Mawr College, taking for his
subject Has the Education of Women
Distinctive Aims?''
He said that the faculties Of men and
women are practically equal, and held,
therefore, that the intellectual training fit
for the one is fit for the other.
AS to women in political fife, he said that
he claimed the privilege of declining to
give an opinion a topic so highly con-
troversial for an Englishman to answer, but
he added that SO far as he could judge the
majority of American women, at least in
the eastern and middle states, do not de-
sire a change.
The ambassador suggested to women two
fields of work which the average male citi-
zen does not find time to enter One is the
cultivation Of thorough knowledge and a
fine taste III literature, the habit of reading
that which is not ephemeral, and the other
field includes the study of how to mitigate
the contrasts between wealth and poverty
how Isl various ways to help those who
need help.

BRYAN INTERVIEWED
TALKED OF TRUSTS, RAILROADS
AND THE TARIFF.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Trusts, the rail-
roads and the tariff will be the issues in
the next presidential campaign in the opin-
ion Of William ]. Bryan, as expressed in
an interview here today. He regards the
outlook for the democratic party for next
year as very good.
Mr.. Bryan is in New York as a guest
of the Democratic Progressive League
which was only recently organized. In the
course of an interview today he was asked
to give his idea of d progressive ue.nu-
crat and he replied
I'm every country there are two eX-
tremes in politics-the radical and the con-
sentative. 1t is the aim of the progressive
democrat to steer a middle course between
the two and to take up all great measures
and solve them. This year find the demo-
cratic party to be in excellent condition
and more united than ever, while on the
contrary the republicans are divided. There
are two elements in the republican party
on which l might call the extremists and
the other the stand-patters,' the latter
representing those people who have put
their hands in other peoples pockets and
wish to keep them there"
Democrats and the Tariff.
Asked if he considered the question of
tariff reform as essential to the democratic
platform for the coming campaign, Mr..
Bryan replied:
II have been a tariff reformer for years.
I have talked tariff reform for ten years
prior to the campaign of 1896; l believe in
it now and have always believed in it, but
there are other questions before the peo-
pie relatively more important at present,
such as the trusts and the railroads. l be-
lieve that the democratic party in its ma
tional platform will take cogniZance of all
three of these questions, but in my opinion
the tariff will not be the paramount issue.
THE financial issue is not the same now
as it was in 1896 1t is not due to the re-
publican party, however, but to natural
causes, such as the worlds increase of gold
supply, which has accomplished in a meas
ure what l tried to accomplish in the cam
paign of 1896. AS matter of fact, we are
regulators now. The dollar of today Is not
the dollar of 1895 The dollar of today is
at least 30 per cent less in purchasing
power than it in 1896 The cost of l:v-
ing has greatly increased, SO that the face
value of dollar today does not at all com
pare with the purchasing ability of eleven
years ago
Mr.. Bryan reiterated his belief in the
principles of the initiative and referendum
and municipal ownership. He will leave
New York tonight for Washington and
Chicago.
