Among Maine People
In Greater Boston

| In the years since l left Maine anC
came to Boston, the one thing that has
constantly impressed me above all others
is the number and the prominence of the
Maine people that l am always meeting
here, or at least hearing about here.
They are everywhere and the number is
ever-increaslng. There are more natives
of Maine in Massachusetts than of any
other State except Massachusetts itself,
and Boston has more Maine people than
even Portland possesses. The tide of
migration that set Maineward from Mas
sachusetts after the revolution has been
and the early debt has been paid with
compound interest.
ACTIVE IN MANY FIELDS.
Not only are the young people coming
from the farms or fresh from school and
college, but every little while some man
who has made good and risen high in his
profession in Maine makes the change to
the broader field that the New England
metropolis affords. Only within few
days there have been two notable in
stances of this kind-Rev. John H. Quint
of the old college church in Brunswick
has come to the pastorate of the First
Congregational Church in Chelsea, and
Farnsworth G. Marshall. superintendent
of the Augusta schools, has been elected
to the superintendency of the schools of
Maiden at salary of S27O0.
In many parts of Greater Boston the
sons and daughters Of Maine nave formal
organizations and | note that one of the
largest and most active of these societies,
the Dorchester Daughters of Maine, had
their first meeting of the season last
Thursday. The $50 ladies of this club
represent all parts of Maine. The new
president, Mrs. Augustus A. Fales, was
formerly Helen B. Sweetland of South
Thomaston, and she succeeds Mrs. Web
ster E. Pierce, formerly of Weld. The
speake' at this weeks meeting was John
Clair Minot, of the staff of the Youth S
Companion, formerly of augusta, who
addressed the club on 1.-The Women
Writers of Maine" The chairman of
the committee in charge of the meet
ing was Mrs. Isabel D. Austin, former
ly of Belgrade, long the treasurer OF the
club.
LITERARY LIGHTS.
Speaking of the Youths Companion
reminds me that the number of natives
of Maine on its editorial staff including,
in addition to Mr. Minot, Edward Stan
wood, C. A. Stephens, Edward w. Frentz,
Henry S. Chapman, Miss Edna Foster
and Francis Nights to have an addition
next month. This is Charles B. Halves,
who comes from the English department
Of Harrisburg Academy, Pennsylvania.
He is the son of Charles T. Halves, the
Bangor insurance man, and is Bowdoin
graduate of two years ago.
The other day l met Neil Fogg of
Freeport. nephew of Donald B. MacMil-
Ian, the Arctic explorer. He went with
the party on the steamer as far as Etah,
Greenland, where it was forced to make
winter quarters, and then returned to
his studies at Harvard, where he is in
the graduate school. He tells me that
Macmillan has already bagged the polar
bear that he promised to send back to
adorn the trophy room of the new Bow
the athletic totem of the college. 1t is
fine specimen, weighing more than 700
pounds, and its presence is warranted to
mean victory.
A MAINE WEDDING.
There was Maine wedding in the
Dorchester district the other night, when
Harold D. Archer, formerly of Augusta,
married the daughter of the Hon. Fred
$. Gore, the city penal commissioner
The ushers, all college classmates of the
groom, were George W. Howes, formerly
of Milo, A. W. Hughes, formerly OF
Brunswick, and Thomas W. Williams,
formerly of houlton. There were scores
OF M aine people among the several hun
dred people at the reception that followed
the ceremony.

Gently published. "The Singing Heart"
by Isaac Bassett Choate. Mr.. Choate is a
little old man, apparently so frail that
breath would blow him away, but in his
breast there is truly singing heart, and
his sweet, beautiful character has en-
deared him to the army of pupils that
have had the privilege of his help and
friendship. 1t is a coincidence that he
lives at SO Pinckney street, the old house
that was the home of that more famous
Maine writer, Elijah Kellogg, when he
lived in Boston and wrote his so or more
immortal books for boys. Mr.. Choate is
native of Naples and graduated at Bow
doin in 1862. His book, by the way, is
published by former Maine man, R. H.
Hinkley, a native of Portland, and for
many years the head of the large pub
fishing house of R. H. Hinkley Company
of 200 Summer street.
WELL, KNOWN LAWYER.
The death of Albert S. Hutchinson is
widely felt here, both among the lawyers
of the Suffolk bar, where he won a high
place since his admission dozen years
ago, and in Newton Highlands, where he
filled leading place in all worthy COM.
munity activities. Mr.. Hutchinson was
native of Auburn and was the adopted son
of Chief Justice Savage CT the Maine
supreme court, of whom his father had
been law partner. The young man and
the own son of Judge Savage were class
mates at Bowdoin in 1893-two members
of the class who gave the most promise,
and both are dead. Mr.. Hutchinson was
law partner here of his uncle, Freedom
Hutchinson. He taught in the Y. M. C. A.
law school, and in Newton served on the
school committee and was president of
the Mems League. He died last week
after few days illness of pneumonia.
George Cam Minard, native of Bow
doinham, has been the center of late of
storm that has ragged around the Boston
Parental School, of which he is the head.
The trouble arose through objection to
methods of discipline used by some
teachers in the school, but the resulting
investigation has wholly cleared Principal
