BIGGEST IN THE COUNTRY.
II

From the New York Herald:
The formation of what is believed to
be the largest commercial orgamiza-
ton in the country was completed
Tuesday, when the old Boston Merch-
ants association, chamber of COM
merce, board Of trade, and several
special business associations united
as the new Boston Chamber Of Com
merce, with a membership of 5000 and
an Income of 100000 a year.
The proposal to unite these bodies
was made year ago, and 200 business
men contributed a sustaining fund of
$1,000,0o0. The merchants have also
invested in property valued at $780,
900 and have raised other sums for
special purposes.
Many important results have already
been accomplished by united work, in
Guiding lower express. rates, new
custom house, consolidation of the
state boards of education, a reduction
of $16O,000 on a publio-servtce contract.
and the establishment of a transporta-
ton board. There are also in progress
a new city charter, a more equitable
tax system, more general use of the
wage -earners' insurance law, and a
cut in the yearly coal bill of New
England Of more than $1,000,000.

His eyes were shining. he looked
younger than Mandy had ever seen

chuckled as she disappeared down the

Polly stood motionless where Mandy
had left her. She hardly knew which
way to turn. She was happy, yet
afraid. She felt like sinking upon her
knees and begging God to be good to
her, to help her. She who had once
been 80 Independent, so self reliant,

and their fortune-telling properties

George Wall. of the BronZ, that he
says he would rather work on 15-

spend an evening at home with Mrs.

Madeline She accused him Of non
support. Wall told such pathetic
story OF what he has suffered since
Mrs. Wall began attending tea-leat
seances that Magistrate Crane dis
charged him.
Since this fortune-telling business
began it has been hotter for me at
home than ever 1t Is when | am work

said Everything was all right In
our home until my wife went to tea
party two months ago. After the tea
had been drunk the women began tell

her that tea leaves knew nothing about
any of my dates. She stood by the
tea leaves, and finally we had a quar-

Other tea parties followed and the
tea leaves continued to tell Mrs. Wall
of legendary dates, he declared. There
was a quarrel after each tea party,
