 It is time that some representative citizen of the State of Massachusetts obtained the floor and said just those things. From the first the attitude of the controlling interests of that to- wards the merger has been conceived in wounded vanity. The thought Of the loss of it's last railroad has been entirely disconnected in the discussion from the fact that it is the fault of Massachusetts that the untlattering condition has arisen and that it is not the outcome of the cupidity of the Connecticut railroad. The position of Mir. Ames will do much to clear the atmosphere and give strength and nerve to those who while believing in the merger have for purely local req sons been afraid to say so. They have seen State pride touched and when the pride of the old commonwealth con ceives itself as under fire time alone can effect a cure. The more now it is considered the more inevitable will il become that the best interests of the industrial life of New England hang upon the proposed solution of the se- rious problem involved The more Mas sachusetts hes to do with the State of Connecticut the better off will it be

HARVARD RECEPTION COMMITTEE

A news report relates that at Har- yard they have just elected a com mittee whose duties shall be "to pro- vide for the suitable reception of vis- iting teams To many Yale minds this description of the responsibilities which the committee will fall heir to is, to say the least, very vague. More information is desired In some quar- ters it has been reasonably thought that there has been no need of such a committee at Harvard of late years in most branches of sports Yale teams have gone to Cambridge to win from Harvard. That they have been little interfered with in the accomplishment of this has been taken as very good evidence of the polite qualities of Cambridge receptions generally. To ask for more would savor too much of the fable of the goose that laid the golden eggs.
 It is hard to think of the traditional Harvard undergraduate body concoct- ing such scheme, for sufficient unto the day is the Harvard man thereof usually. Princeton might well an- nounce such a committee and the Yale collegiate world would take it as mat ter easily to be expected, but at liar vard-why, what are they going tc do anyway? Will they present the wis 1 iting teams from New Haven with monocles and spats and kid gloves as suitable playing armor? Or are they going to perfect plans whereby Yale will be given, entirely gratis larger scores, more signal victories and greater athletic prowess?
 Perhaps they are perfecting plans for future receptions to be given tc Yale teams, in comparison with which last Falls occurrences with their hos. pitable 'To He'll With Yale" signs or the dormitories may serve only a: mild forerunners. Perhaps next fal the entire Harvard undergraduate body will turn out at the station wher Old Ellis team arrives, there to agair give this courteous salutation but vo. cally under the leadership of the mem. bers of this committee. All we sbal he able to do will be to modesty bow our heads, overcome with emotion and reiterate: We do not deserve i all, we do not deserve it all"

FELL FROM TREE
High Scheel Boy Badly IDjured Yesterday Afternoon.

Carrolton Gensler, son of MT and Mrs Charles Gensler of Norton street, was badly injured yesterday after noon by falling from chestnut tree youth with cmfwypfhfnffifaf1f1fifim near the Town Plot school. The youth with a couple of other boys were in the tree when limb broke and two of them were precipitated to the ground several feet below. Two others saved themselves by clutching another branch. Although Gensler was severely injured the other boy, named Druin, escaped being injured. Gensler's head was split open and for time it seemed as though his skull was fractured. He was attended by Dr George w. Russell who found that the boy was suffering from fractur- ed collar bone, fracture of the right arm, an injury to the thigh and concussion of the brain. He is a student at Crosby High school.
