Boston Post notes a mission driven motto for the Representative Democratic Pape of New England, signaling organizational aims and political alignment as the era’s party posture evolves.
The Republican gathering approved Mayor Hart for another term by acclamation, avoiding a ballot and rejecting a street commissioner candidate. The convention also shied from civil service questions while portraying Hart’s tenure as a business administration with debt reduction, and discussed Roosevelt era trade policy and freer trade against protectionist elements.
The Hart administration is accused of using politics against the State Civil Service Commission for exposing street department law violations. The piece defends the commission as above reproach, notes the Attorney General’s opinion that Mayor Hart’s actions evaded the law, and argues the public will judge Hart poorly.
The piece critiques General J. H. Smith's role in Samar's pacification, alleging reconcentrado tactics mirror Spain's Cuba era and comparing U S military actions in the Philippines with South Africa. It cites rice embargo resistance, questions of humanitarian rule, and draws parallels to McKinley’s policies and past war justification.
Secretary Hay spoke for the Roosevelt administration at a New York Chamber of Commerce dinner, underscoring the president’s views on commercial reciprocity. If Congress rejects these views, a conflict between the executive and legislative branches could ensue, making his remarks highly significant.
The Republican convention last night used the school question to boost Mayor Hart for re election. They frame school issues as part of Hart’s candidacy, though the Mayor has little to do with the School Board. The move is a political tactic to salvage their campaign by appealing to school supporters.
In South Boston a family facing real destitution received a sizable subscription from neighbors. The mother bought a canary in a gilded cage with relief funds, echoing a West End case where a father’s family lived in attic rooms yet volunteers sent $25 in aid.
A fragmented clipping notes repeated thirteens in a woman's life from marriage to death and birth. It references a fictional line from Deephaven, a Charlestown elevated clock proposal, a salary dispute involving actor Louis C. Mettler, a driving incident with a parrot, and a humorous misidentification about Mrs Clarence Mackay versus a library.
A quirky early 20th century riff blends a child's verse about a baby and a hoarse with humorous dialect notes. Interspersed are short, punchy captions and stray jokes about dynamite, sugar prices, and other oddities, all in a newspaper page jumble. The piece mimics local humor with named personagraphic hints and dated tonal texture.
Gilbert and Sullivan's tuneful opera still attracts amusement seekers. Two large audiences have already seen the presentation at the Columbia, and today's bargain matinee with prices at 25 and 60 cents will likely test the theatre's capacity. The cast is excellent and the chorus admirable.
The Lumber Teamsters and Handlers Local Union 112 announces a special meeting in St. Stephen's Hall Wells Memorial building next Sunday at 2 50 p m. The gathering aims to address union matters and member concerns in Wells.
The Post presents a boiled custard with lemon flavor and gelatin, folded with candied fruit, set in a mould and chilled. An apricot sauce accompanies, using dried or canned fruit, sugar and water, strained then cooled for garnish. Alice E. Whitaker.
In a Sunday Post short story, Dorothea Brainard, a 6 year old heiress, persuades a nurse to let a homeless boy into her life. Fifteen years later Wallace Bremer, now her fiancé, seeks her father's consent to marry. Mr Brainard reveals their shared past as former friends, granting approval. The couple reunites with a promise of lifelong love.
