Funeral Mass Held for
 Slain Boston Policeman

Boston, Jan. 1G (tP)-A funeral mass was celebrated at Sacred Heart church of East Boston today for James ]. Troy, Boston plain clothes policeman who was slain while on duty Monday night.
 Troy's widow and four children attended the service and a detail of 54 police officers acted as a guard of honor.
 Meanwhile, James Threadgiu negro. charged with murdering Troy, maintained silence at Charles street jail where he is confined pending the February sitting of Suffolk county grand jury. Troy was guarding the rear first floor doorway of a South End tene- ment house against escape of Thrcadgill when slain. A superior officer was searching the house for the negro who was wanted by po- lice in connection with armed rob- bery in Taunton and robbery in South Boston.
 Police who captured Threadgill in another South End dwelling shortly after the murder said they found .32 calibcr revolver from which ono shot had been fired in the ne grOe'S overcoat pocket.

CITY HALL SALARIES

Among the salary increases sug- gested recently by the salary com mittee of the Common Council were some worthy cases. They were mixed up with some which probably were not 50 worthy "at this time" as the city fathers would say. But the Con- mon Council made short shrift of the entire batch, throwing them out with no attempt at discussion. The result is that not until 1881 will cases of salary increases to get a hearing, and there is no guarantee that the hearing will be substantially longer or more successful than that which has just gone into city history
 "Working for the city" is different from other employment. There Is a widespread opinion that many of the jobs are of political nature, tDdl tuOSS NilO llOiu llltl4l W cit a pointed for political reasons. Poii- ticians are eager enough to do some thing for their friends when the op- portunity offers but lacking up the salaries during a period of economy is a different question altogether That isn't always necessary es- pecially just before a local political campaign. This is campaign year. Those interested in campaigning are not going out of their way to look for criticism. In this respect 1881 will be more advantageous for salary raising.
 That is the only grain of comfort anyone can offer the boys and girls around City Hall

four other 'lifers" to the sentences prescribed under the amended statute, or to from 1-2 to Is years each" Suuch sentences for possess. ing liquor, regardless Of how often such possession resulted in convic- tion, surely is drastic enough.
 No one would claim that Michigan, depite the possession of such statute, is dry state in practice. A writer has estimated that there are thousands of speakeasies in Detroit alone, and the supposition that nothing but teetotalers are employed in the automobile factories is non- sense.
 Michigan merely offers another illustration Of the extent to which fanaticism goes when unleashed

TTTILTTY

Considerable has been already said concerning the futility Of lowering assessm ents in an effort to reduce taxation, and we hesitate to add anything to the discussion.
 A reduction Of Is per cent would be no more effective than a reduc- ton of 50 per cent so long az the cty's expenses are not reduced ac- cordingly.
 A reduction in assessments would result In an increase in the tax rate. The one would neatly balance the other.
 A reduction in assessments with out 6 comm ensurate increase in the tax rate would result in a substan- tial deficit In the city's finances.
 We trust nobody wishes to see that happen.

EXTENDING MYRTLE STREET

One of the myriads Of resolutions reposing in City Hall at present has 10 do with the extending of Myrtle street to Corbin avenue. by way of creating a new traffic artery on the cast and west route from the down. town section. If the city ever goes through with such a plan 1t will be doing something that elementary city planning would have suggest ed years ago, before the present situation arose or was allowed to develop without guidance or special thought.
 The extension Of Myrtle street to Corbin avenue, Of course. would not in reality be q new east-wcst route in the absolute sense, because a driv- stance, would have 10 turn into Corbin avenue and thence twist into West Main street anyhow. But the extension of Myrtle street 10 Corbin avenue might be step toward ex- tension of Myrtle street beyond Cor bin avenue lntcr+-if an engineer can find a way 10 push q street over the high hills that face the western part Of this thoroughfare. Our opinion is that this will offer what is known as "insurmountable ob- stacles;" put then, we arc not a road engineer.
 Extending Myrtle street to Corbin avenue would. as we understand it, push through what is now private property. Cities do this right along, however, and probably this offers no serious obstacle. Anything that can even tend to eliminate, some of the traffic forced 10 Use West Main Utreet--the most well-travcllcd neck of the bottle we have-will be an advantage. The idea is sound.

COMMUNICATED
DOCTOR DESCRIBES PARROT
 DISEASE

January 15, 1880. To the Editor of the x. R. Herald
 Dear Sir:-I have noticed several articles in your paper during the past week or so, as regards the par rot disease, psittacosis. Perhaps fur ther cnlightmcnt on the subject would not be amiss
 Psittacosis is a contagious septi- cemla involving parrots and parra- keets. The disease has received con- siderable attention and especially so at the present time, because suspi- cion has been aroused that the in- lection may be transmitted to man. A number of outbreaks of infectious pneumonia in man have been ob- served to occur simultaneously with the bird disease.
 Some of the early investigators at- tempt to refute this suspected trans mission They brought forth the ar gument that the presence of the par rot in the house where sickness oc- cured had nothing whatever to do with the disease. They contended d that house epidcmiCs of pneumonia occur occasionally without the inter vention of parrots, and one may from this draw the conclusion that all the former psittacosis epidemics were considered nothing more than a typical pneumonia, in which the sick parrot, accidentally present in the house, played no ctiological role.
 But especially contradictory to these early views is the Paris cpl demic of 1892, in which the trans mission of the disease from the sick parrots to man must be considered, on the basis of cpidemiological facts, apparently wholly indicated
 The causative agent of this disease is thought to be tiny bacillus, which may be found in various or gans of the infected bird. The bacil- lus has also been found in the healthy bird. and it is thought that when the resistance of the bird falls below normal, these bacteria dcvel- op to q harmful extent. Such low ering of resistance may be induced by unusual restraint, croWding, ab- normal climatic conditions, and gen. eral hardships suffered during ship ment.
 The disease is manifested by fever, stupor, and diarrhoca with frothy greenish droppings which are some times bloodstained. The bird eXhib-
