county court house in Pemberton
square that the addition Of two stories
10 the structure will not be inconsist-
ent with the architectural qualities Of
that building and its surroundings. Our
court house has always been considered
architecturally squatty.
The election of the Rev. Dr. De Nor
nandie 10 the presidency of the board
OF trustees OF the Public Library, as
successor to the late Solomon Lincoln,
is a we'll deserved recognition To the
scholarly attainments as we'll as of
the long and devoted service of a Ii
brary trustee. President De Norman
die will give dignity and character,
as we'll as fidelity and efficiency. 10
the headship of the institution in which
all Bostonians take so much pride.
Gov. Guild explains that his con-
ception of the display Of the state flag
over state institutions had a practi-
cal as we'll as a sentimental phase. The
flag might properly be used as a desig-
create a better appreciation OF the eX-
tent of the service of the common
wealth. As. the sign of authority it
would be in its proper place floating
over each state institution. The idea,
presented in this light, has much to
commend it,
S,tn Of ha cto ta 1pN-
ment bureau in this city favors the
collection of labor statistics TO show
the condition Of the labor market in
given localities and the publication of
maps like the weather reports, which
would inform a man in search of en-
ployment where the best chances in a
given industry exist. Unless the maps
were more TO he depended upon than
the weather indications, however, there
would inevitably be a great deal of
disappointment.
There are sections Of our big city
where they willingly let houses to per-
sons who have puppies, but won't let
in the babies"
1t was this emphatic declaration that
James K. Crozier, prominent labor lead
er, advocated a bill in the Legislature
that would fine landlords who discrim-
mated against babies by refusing to
let houses or apartments to men and
women with small children.
Up at the State House, where a leg
1slative committee is hearing this bill,
the measure is called the anti-race
suicide bill.
Mrs Mary Baker G. Eddy, head Of
the Christian Science church, had her
first view of the magnificent Falmouth
street temple one day recently while on
her daily drive.
The big edfice, known as the moth
-er church, was built when Mrs. Eddy
lived in Concord, n. II. Since moving
to Chestnut Hill, Mrs Eddy has taken
her daily drives as usual, but hereto
fore they have been in the woods close
TO the Lawrence estate. But a few days
ago the coachman was ordered TO go
TO Boston and Mrs. Eddy got a fleeting
glimpse of the structure.
There was possibly some intimation
that Mrs Eddy would visit the church
on that day, a. quite crowd was gath
cred but there was no demonstration
and MIS-. Eddy from within her car
rage made no sign whatsoever.
1t is thought that this hurried visit
is the forerunner of others, and it is
barely possible that Mrs. Eddy may in
the near future thoroughly inspect the
church.
This will be a decidedly off year for
immigration if the conditions prevail
ing during the month of January con-
tinue during the next eleven. The re-
ports are completed for January and
show that a total of 1915 immigrants
entered the country through this port.
OF this number csc were males and
-559 females.
II is the smallest number Of aliens to
arrive here during the month of Jan.
uary since 1902. when a number of Brit
ish liners we're withdrawn for service
as transports in the Boer war.
In January last year over $500 immi
grants were landed here.
While there has been a marked fall
ing off In west bound travel, the steam
ship transportation figures fo~.Januarr
show that the outbound travel OF the
foreign labor element has been great
er than for years. The falling off in
inward second cabin is noticeable,
while the outward bound shows an in
crease of nearly 30 percent.
Steamship interests are anxious at
the tremendous decrease. The reports
of our industrial troubles are said TO
have had the effect of keeping the for
-eigners at home.
