Old Colonial Records Show Act Was
Attempted in 1856 - The
Punishment.

II is not necessary to give up our
pious faith in the superior political
morality of our forefatheTs when We
learn that even in the first generation
OF BostOnians was found a ballot stui-
fer.
The same record which reveals this
break records also its instant repudi-
alton and punishment 1t was on the
fourteenth day of January, 1855, 25
years after the settlement of Boston,
according to the quaint records pre-
served of the kings chapel, that a
referendum was held as to whether
a part OF the land should be alienatsd.
The old chronicle runs: "The In
habitants proceeded to bring in their
votes; and when the Selectmen were
receiving 'em at the Door of the Hall
they observed one of the Inhabitants
viz, John Pigeon, to put in about
dozen with the word Yea wrote on

disc Along Its Course.

PaTis.-The probability that the
Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue
in the world. will always be preserved
as an artistic promenade and a chill
dren's paradise has been strengthened
by action just taken by the municipal
council of Paris. The council not
only refused to grant a permit for the
construction of Philharmonic palace
on the site of the now defunct sum
meT circus, but voted to investigate
concessions previously granted, look
ing to the removal of some of the
music halls and restaurants now -four
ishing there.
This official action is in keeping
with the true Partisan spirit. The one
occasion on which the Frenchman
looses his pursestrings without a muir
muir is when an expenditure for mu-
nlcipal establishment is proposed.
No other city watches over the beauty
OF its bouleVaFds and parks with such
Jealous care. Succeeding municipal
administrations differ widely on all
other points, but, whether the govern
ment is nationalist or socialist, it's
nrst aim is invariably to maintain in
tact the artistic inheritance of Eu-
ropes most beautiful capital.
There was almost a revolt, 12 years
ago, when a tramway company asked
a concession for a track across the
avenue in a side street. This right
was finally bestowed but had the
council granted a subsequent appli-
cation for track along the Champs
Elysees itself the lives of the city
legislators would have been threat
ened by an aroused populace.
The single track across the drive
way has always been regarded as a
scar. 1t is not improbable that In
a few years the tTamway company
will be required to construct a tuB-
mel beneath the surface of the street.
1t is by underground passages that
the city already is proposing to handle

VIM. Henry, Champion Swimmer,
Coming Over TO Teach Us.
He Is Founder of the Royal English
Society Devoted to Rescuing the
Orownine-Easy When You
Know How, He Says.

LOndOn.-Remarkable progress in
the art OF saving life from drowning
has been made both in Europe and
America since the foundation lS years
ago of the English Royal Life Saving
society which first organized this sery-
ice to humanity. William Henry, the
founder of this famous society, left
England recently on a missionary visit
to the United States and Canada.
After visiting Montreal, Quebec Otta.
wa, Kingston and other Canadian
cities, he will give lectures and illus
trations of life saving in buffalo, New
York and other places in the United
States.
Mr.. Henry is one of those enthusi-
asts whose zeal is infectious. Being
In the happy position of financial inde-
pendence, he deVotes most of his time
TO his hObby-life saving-and under
his direction the society has grown
from small body in 1891, when it was
founded, to embrace more than 500
affiliated associations and clubs. num-
bering over 10000 members.
The governing authorities of schools.
colleges and universities in England
all have come under his sway. He has
visited nearly all the continental coun-
tries and has established societies in
Italy, Germany, Sweden, France and
Finland. His methods of life saving
are being taught in the Australian
commonwealth, New Zealand, India,

Who Is Coming to America.
Malta, Egypt, the West Indies and
South America; and now he is off to
! the schools, colleges and cities of the
North American continent in search
of converts and recruits.
AS a swimmer Mr.. Henry is famous
| not only throughout the United ning-
dom but also all over the continent of
Europe. He was Iong-distance cham
pion of England in 1899, salt water
champion in 1899, and won the life
saving competition at the Olympic
games in Paris in 1900. Besides these
he has taken part in numerous inter
national competitions, winning prizes
in Austria, Belgium, France, Finland,
Germany, Holland, Italy and Sweden,
until to-day he is the pOssessor OF
more than 500 trophies won in swim
ming and life-saving contests.
Every school in England which has
a swimming club attached to it teaches
Iife-saVing as part of the curriculum.
Examinations are held by the society
and certificates granted, and the great
progress made may be judged from
the increase in the number of certifi-
Gates awarded since these practical ex-
aminatiOns were instituted
My object in going to America"
said Mr.. Henry just before leaving
London, is to try and stimulate the
heads of schools and colleges there to
take up life saving and have it taught
Just as they teach the children To
read. The Importance of a knowledge
of the best method to rescuscitate an
apparently drowned person ought to
be clear to everybody.
People get drowned in America
just as they do in England; but hun
dreds of lives would be saved if would
be rescuers only knew how to go to
work. In every part OF the world
there are hundreds of abortive efforts
at rescue every year. Frequently what
would have been single tragedy is
turned into a double one through the
absence of a little knowledge on the ]
part of the wOuld-be helper"

Chicago. March 1.-THE contro-
vsrsy which has been under discus
sion for more than six weeks involves
forty-seven railroads operating west.
northwest and southwest Of Chicago,
and embraces about 100000 miles Of
railroads.
It has previously been stated by
both sides that II strike were called
1t would tie up practically every
freight and passenger train between
Chicago and the Pacific coast.
"The strike has been called-that
much is certain" said Mr. Carter. ut
means that not only $4,000 firemen,
members of our union, will go out, but
that perhaps many more employees
will be thrown out in consequence.
tWe gave our ultimatum to the rail-
roads that the men had voted to strike
and that we are prepared to call one
unless we were granted arbitration of
all questions in dispute. The railroads
refused to arbitrate anything but the
wage question.
"At midnight tonight we decided 1t
was useless to parlev further with the
railroad managers. We adopted reso-
luton calling strike. Owing to the
lateness Of the hour and in order that
the men would not go out in confusion
and not knowing the true state OF af-
fairs. we agreed to wait until tomor-
row before telegraphing the order"
Chairman w. c. Nixon, on behalf Of
the railroad managers. issued the fol.
lowing statement:
."The railroads have not received the
answer Of the fremen's committee.
Consequently we hesitate to make
comment. But it does not seem rea.
sonable that a strike will be ordered
in the face of offered arbitration. The
railroads offered to arbitrate the wage
question January 9th and this offer
still holds good.
"In case the firemen's reply is to the
effect that strike will be called the
railroads will invoke the aid of the
Erdman act through the chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Commissioner OF Labor in
Washington to prevent the labor lead.
ers from carrying out their threat"
The committee of general managers
who have been conducting the negoti-
atoms with the firemen, and all of
whom are now in Chicago, consists of
