For the second time since me new
Dorchester high school was erected,
about seven years ago, a chief maeIs-
trate OF this city last week awarded
his own daughter diploma The pre-
sentation of the customary parchment
10 Miss Eleanor {. Hibbard by the
mayor was a feature Of the gradu-
ating exercises, and one that brought
forth cheering and applause. Two years
ago Miss Rose Fitzgerald graduated
from the school. and received the GER
tifcate from her father, the mayor.
A rather peculiar episode occurred
In the North Station recently. "a little
chap about six years old came up 10
a gentleman and asked for cent.
"Pray, why do you want a penny
the man asked. $50 can save II, was
the reply And why TO save IT may
! ask?" 80 can put IL in The bank
"And what them" was the persistent
inquiry. Il want TO get 10 cents, said
the urchin. What Ior?' 80 ] can
get me sister a bouquet when she grad
yates" You may be sure he got IT.
Snow on an almost tropical day In
June-snow compaCted into balls ana
used as missiles by playful marksmen
was the phenomenon which surprised
pedestrians who about noon few days
ago happened TO be passing through the
North end. The snow did not fall
from the clouds, but came from a big
meat establishment on Blackstone
street whose employees were unloading
the accumulatiOns of ice and snow ihat
regularly gather on the pipes OF their
large refrgerating plant. Their work
lasted about two hours, and the pro-
duct was finally heaped into teams for
conveyance 10 the water front
There is a fairly good business in
fresh fish in the local market ANA
prices generally are steady. There Us
the usual good variety that is 20 be
found i'm The market at this time OF me
year, and a good supply OF everything
except mackerel haddock and large
cod Mackerel were very plentiful

hold them for higher prices. Blueiish,
weakfish and bWtterhsh are In better
supply than at any time before this
season The receipts OF eastern sal
mon are steadily increasing, and quite
n few swordhsh have made their APP

"TirA ~ - Of reward for the cap
ture OF criminals often directs suspicion
against persons really innocent OF the
crime in order that INSCRIPTIONS per
sons may derive the financial benefit"
This statement, by one OF the most
successful state detectives OF Massachu-
setts while exchanging stories the 9th
er day, had its effect upon his hearers.
The officer said that often in his career
he had almost been misled in his pur-
suit of criminals because of informa-
tion given TO him by persons in the
hope of gaining the reward In one
instance circumstantial evidence was
wonderfully strong against the sus-
pect but the case ended in the crime
being laid at the informants door.
Many OF the men with large fam
lilies who were burned out by the Chel-
sea fire are still having difficulty in
securing homes or in being permitted
to remain in places already secured,
because OF the number of their chill
dren, il is declared by the Chelsea Cen
tral Labor Union That body intends TO
make campaign against property
owners who have been denying TO men
the opportunity of securing proper
shelter for their families solely on the
ground that they did not want children
In their houses.
Some OF the workingmen burned out
in Chelsea are still living In easements
or shanties because they cannot secure
suitable tenements, which they are
willing TO pay for they say. Recently.
many OF the men declare they have
been asked or ordered TO leave the tene-
ments they had secured. East Bos-
ton property owners are the main Of
tenders, the unions committee declares,
Business men OF New England, par
ticularly those engaged in manufaC-
turing and exporting, should follow
with interest the progress of the Bos-
ton high school OF commerce. which
has just sent two young men 10 South
America, on a free scholarship, TO study
trade conditions there
IL is well known among exporters
that Americans cultivate their foreign
markets with less assiduity than any
other nation Consular reports show
that American merchants also display
lamentable obtuseness i'm introducing
their goods abroad. as for example
sending catalogs printed in English e
countries where the language is not EN-.
ployed in business, shipping goods IN
poorly constructed cases, or package,
untitled TO the transportation in IN,
