Tho city of Doston has put In operation, at
public expense, a number ot institutions
designed to promote tho health and happi
ness of Its people. They comprise a new
deporturo In American municipal life, nnd
very properly command tho earnest atten
tion of all persons anxious to promote the
public welfare. Tho plan and scope of Uos
ton's new departure, and tho results at
tained nro reviewed by Hon. Joslah Qulncy,
ex-mayor of tho city, In tho New York Inde
pendent, as follows:
Tho changes which havo been taking plarj
In tho government of Boston havo not hi
their origin In any special movemont to re
form serious abuses, but rather In the belief
that It was possible to mako such Improve
ment nnd progress as would promote tho
moral and physical health of the community.
So far ns matters have yet gone, events
seem to havo abundantly Justified tho
changes, and lt Is probable, therefore, that
tho future will seo Boston traveling still
further on tho road of accomplishing for tho
peoplo thoso things which lt can do bettor
for them than they as Individuals can do for
themsolves,
Theso changes viewed by most men as
experiments havo nttracted much attention
and curiosity and drawn out a good deal of
comment, tho greater part of which has been
gratlfylngly favorable. Extension of govern
mental functions Is tho chief chango that has
been brought about. The city Is now doing
somo things for tho people which wero
formerly thought to b.o outside Its scope.
For Instance, it has mado n good beginning
at bathing them or, at least, at helping nnd
encouraging them to bathe.
Hn every largo city thero aro hosts of peo
plo huddled together In 'tenements whoro
every sanitary canon Is violated. They do
not batho properly from ono year's end to
tho other, becaUBo thero aro no facilities for
bathing In their wretched nnd ovorcrowded
rooms. Tholr condition makes them a menace
to their cleanlier follow citizens whom they
como In contact with on tho cars and In the
streets, and who unknowingly buy tho prod
ucts of their labor.
If theso conditions could bo changed so
that all bathed regularly several effects ot
vaEt benefit to the city would surely follow.
Tho filthy tenement house would disappear,
for cloan peoplo will not llvo In n dirty
house. Crlmo and drunkenness would de
crease, for men and boys who nro now driven
to tho saloon might then find tho homo n
fit placo In which to spend an evening. Even
the death rate would drop. Of course, such
an' Ideal Is not attainable at present, but at
least we can travel In that direction, and
that Is what we havo been doing In Boston
recently. To thoso engaged In furthering
tho movement tho results havo been exceed
ingly gratifying.
l'ublle Until.
Boston was ono of the first American cities
to Inaugurate free public baths. Her sys
torn was founded In tho '60's, but until re
cently thero was nothing additional to tho
sca-water bathing and no attempt nt giving
tho people an opportunity to batho nil tho
year around. Two yearn ago the opening of
tho Dover Street Public Bath, In tho heart of
tho city, marked the progress ot a forward
movement lu this matter. This bathhouso
cost, with tho land, $80,000; Its appliances
consist of tubs and showers, tho tempera
ture ot tho water being regulated to suit
tho bather. Thoro Is provision for men and
women In .fact, two separate bathhouses.
This bath Is free except that thero Is a
ahargo for soap and towels. But thoso who
wish to do so can bring their own soap and
towels, or can go without them. In that
caso thero Is absolutely no charge. This
question ot charge or no chargo gavo rise to
a deal ot debate In the advisory commis
sion of seven which the mayor bad ap
pointed to consider tho whole bathing ques
tion. It was thought that treo baths might
smack ot charity, and some woro afraid of
that. Othors again argued that treo baths
would not pauperizo tho peoplo any more
than freo text books and free public schools.
It was finally settled that the bath should
bo qulto free. Tho policy has been thor
oughly successful and It Is not likely to bo
changed. It was felt that tho charge ot
even 1 cent might keep away tho very peo
plo who most needed bathing. The Dover
street bath Is used by 30,000 peoplo a month;
tho majority of those aro udults, and they
aro very satisfactorily representative of all
clashes of citizens.
Missionary work to spread tho bathing
hnblt among the children Is comparatively
easy, and tho attendanco ot women has also
been ery gratttylng. The children aro en
couraged by freo soap and towels on a cer
tain part of Saturdays. Peoplo como from
all over tho city to tho Dovor street bath
but, ot courao, its usotulness 1h greatest to
thoso living In tho neighborhood. What Ben
ton needs, therefore, Is moro baths of the
samo kind scattered about the city where
thoy could bo easily reached,
The shower baths take up very little space,
nnd somo aro much In favor ot putting them
In tho basements of tho public schools. After
a contest In the school commltteo over what
was deemed by somo to bo a radical innova
tion, shower baths have been placed In tho
basement of the Paul Hovero school, a fino
new school building In a congested district.
Wo have added two fresh water swimming
pools to our plant. Ono of these Is situated
In o email park In a tcnoment district, and
tho other Is In a ward room building. They
aro both concreto pools and tho attendance
shows tho public appreciation; they aro as
yet only open In summer.
Another extension of governmental func
tion In tho matter ot bathing Is seen In tho
swimming instructors now furnished by thn
city. Summer before last they taught 4,000
children to swim.
Public (iymnniiluiitK,
Free publlo gymnasiums are nlsa being
provided by the Boston city government. Wo
havo had outdoor gymnasia In connection
with tho parks for ten years, and Instruc
tion has been given there free: but n great
advance was begun two years ago when wo
organized a regular Indoor gymnasium In a
building that was given to us for tno pur
pose. Thero Is now the East Boston gymna
sium. It has been Intelligently managed
and tho attendance at It has risen to nbout
2,000 a week.
Tho freo gymnasium work Is closely con
nected with tho work cf tho public schools
nnd tho school teachers encourage their
children to go Into the gymnasium classej.
Tho floor U ueed for drills. All kinds of
gymnastic apparatus nro to be found In this
building, In charge of competent Instructors,
nnd, of course, thero aro shower baths for
uso after exercise. The patronage has been
J very gratifying, not only In regard to num
women, ioko auvaniago or tno facilities of-
fered. Tho women havo shown great ap
prcclatlon of the gymnasia.
Following this success of tho East Boston
cymnaslum the city set about doing somo
thing more In tho same line, and two
months ngo the South Boston free public
gymnasium was opened. This cost $28,000
without the land, and Is n flrst-class Instltu
tlun in all respects one of tht largest gym
nasla In tho whole country, H Is well
equipped, nnd has nn excellent running
track. Two new small gymnasiums have
also been provided for. A ward room will
bo utilized for one, and a small wooden
church will be made over for the other. In
theso gymnasia wo uso the piano, finding
that lt plays an Important part In tho class
work of the children. It costs $10,000 a year
to maintain a large gymnasium and pay the
Instructors.
School yards hate been opened In the
summer ns playgrounds for children; that
Is another advance In the same direction ns
tho baths nnd gymnasia. It has not como
without meeting opposition from the con
servatives In tho school board. The appro
priation for tho purpose was only $2,000, but
nt least tho recognition ot tho principle was
secure. Tho Boston school yards aro of all
sorts, somo good and some bad. Toys, play
things and sandynrds havo been provided In
them.
Freo concerts nnd freo lectures nro other
now or comparatively new departure In tho
way of municipal governmental activity now
to be found In Boston. Formerly outdoor
concerts alono wero given, but now, In addi
tion to these, provision hns been mndo for
two kinds of Indoor concerts. Ono of theso
Is a local concert In somo small hall, given
by a string quartet and singer, and costing
$30 or $10, nnd tho other Is moro elaborate,
with an orchestra of flfty-nvo pieces nnd
well known soloists. The smaller concerts
nro qulto free. Scats at the larger ono aro
23 cents to $1. Six of theso moro elnborato
concerts wero given tho last rail, on Sunday
evenings.
As tho city cannot legally chargo an ad
mission tee, theso larger concerts aro only
announced as under the auspices ot the
music commission, tho deficiency being met
by private guaranty. A municipal band has
nlso been established. This band Is not
regularly In tho employment of the city,
but receives enough patronage from It to
aid Its development very materially, and
tho result Is a great Improvement In tho
character ot public music.
A bureau ot municipal statistics Is an
other feature of our governmental activity
which Is doing good work. From lt Issues
tho City Record, an ofllclal weekly publica
tion. Other Xetv Dennrtiiren.
It would bo qulto Impossible In n brief
nrtlclo to glvo oven an outline, of nil tho
new departures wo havo been making In
municipal government In Boston, and what
Is hero given Is merely Illustration. Tho
greatest change, perhaps, Is In methods of
administration. Tho freo baths hero nro
under tho chargo of tho Board of Health. It
has been taken out of tholr hands and
erected Into a special department, In chargo
of seven unpaid commissioners nppolntcd by
the mayor to serve for flvo years; ono or
two going out each year. The mayor can
rotnovo nny of theso commissioners at any
tlmo during the continuance ot his term on
designation of cnuso.
This method secures for the city govern
ment tho scrvlcei. of a public-spirited and
successful class of peoplo who abroad nro
often elected to municipal office, but who
cannot often bo elected here. Their duty
consists of supervision, and It makes no ex
cessive demands on their time. A meeting
onco a week is generally found to be suffi
cient. Under them are paid subordinates
who do tho actual routino work. Wo find
that these unpaid commissioners tako great
Interest in their work, and that the servlco
has been very greatly Improved by their
efforts.
Similar unpaid commissions havo chargo
ot the bureau of municipal statistic?, ot
mU3tc, of lectures, of cemeteries, of paupers,
of insane, of public convenience stations,
otc.
Theso commissions have been appointed
with an eye to tholr peculiar fitness for tho
duties of tholr departments1. For lnstancu,
tho bureau of municipal statistics Is looked
after chiefly by active business men who aro
used to handling largo Interests. Music Is In
charge of prominent musicians, whllo rcpro
sontatlvee of tho university settlements, of
tho labor organizations and of tho women
aro found on other commissions.
Putting the peoplo within reach of sane,
cheap and healthy pleasures will undoubt
edly diminish crime, for boys who aro learn
ing to swim and who experience tho Interest
and tho dlsclpllno ot tho gymnasium aro less
likely to fall Into vlclouu ways. Thus tho
supply of criminals will be somewhat re
duced at Its source.
The poltco havo already observed and com
mented on tho Improvement of behavior of
boys and tho decrease ot Juvenile disorder
In tho vicinity of baths. 'At somo of theeo
freo publlo functions we havo 10,000 peoplo
gathered, and a very fow policemen aro
qulto sufficient to prevent dlsonlor,
I believe that generally tho citizens of
Boston aro well satisfied with tho new de
partures that havo been mado In methods
ot government and to extension ot municipal
functions. There aro many Indications to
show that tho peoplo are allvo to tho Im
provements and that tho movement that has
begun will find less to contend against as It
proceeds1.
Knnnn Fnriiiern Salt Their l.iinil.
Two farmers living near Iola, Kan., havo
received n 40,000-pound car of salt from
Hutchinson, which they will uso on their
farms, says tho Abilene Chronicle. Both
have oxtonsivo farm interests which they
look after themsolves and they propose to
sow tho salt with oats, wheat and flax, on
the theory that land so treated Is given tho
chemlcal required by thoso grains and In
tho bollef that chinch bugs will hun tho
fields. Some of their unpractical town
friends havo rather a hankering for the
bcllivf that wheat so treated will grow loaves
of solf-rlsing bread. At any rate the test Is
ono which will be watched with Interest and
tho farmers may reap good returns from tho
$100 or moro Invested by theso gentlemen In
an experiment.

tho Journal entry of tho case ot tho Stalo
against tho Omaha National Bank and J. II.
Millard for the collection of $200,000. which
tho attorney general claims Is due the stato
by reason of tho fact that cx-Statc Treasurer
Hartley, who turned defaulter, had dealings
with tho defendant bnnk and drew money
therefrom. That story has been threshed
over nnd over In tho courts. Tho last round
prior to tho action of yesterday was when
Judge Baker decided a few days ago to find

tho original trial, which was In favor of the

tho trial court, another overruled and tho

docs not set forth tho facts sufficiently clear.
Attorney Oenoral Smyth addressed tho
court in languago that was construed to
mean criticism, which caused Judgo Baker
to say:
"I am tired of your criticisms, attorney
general."
"If I havo criticised tho court Improperly,
I apologize for lt," replied Mr. Smyth, with
accent on tho "Improperly."
Then ho went on to Bay that he roprescnts
tho state ot Nebraska and that ho wants his
rights. Judgo Baker declared ho should
havo his rights, but that ho must bo ro
spcctful while In court. A dialogue nlong
this lino continued for some time, until tho
attorney general announced that ho would
say no more. Tho opposing counsel had al
ready presented lt3 sldo of tho case. At tho
conclusion of tho argument Judgo Hakor
said he would review tho Journal entry aud

Judgo Baxter Is hearing tho case of Mrs.
Fannlo Bowman against tho city, wherein
tho plaintiff seeks to collect $5,000 on ac
count of tho drowning of hor son, Albert
V., who met death In a pond at Twenty
eighth and Davenport streets, Juno IS,
1892. Tho caso was tried once before, re
sulting In n verdjet of $1,000 against tho
city. Appeal was taken to the supremo
court, whoro tho Judgment of tho lower
court was overruled and tho caso was re
manded. It is now on trial for tho second
time. Tho contention of tho plaintiff as
to the city's liability Is that tho pond In
which tho boy was drowned was caused by
a chango of street grade. Tho defendant
takes tho position that tho drowning oc
curred on prlvato property, and that, there
fore, tho city is not responsible. Tho lad
who lest his life was about S years old.
Many hundred dollars havo been spent In
litigation over this case, and tho end Is not
yot.

Tho man who presides over tho destinies
of tho Stanton Picket broko forth In tho
following manner last week:
"Last spring wo conceived tho Idea of
engaging In tho culture of bees for pleasuro
as well as profit, nnd accordingly pur
chased u homely hlvo which contained a
strong swarm ot thoso Industrious llttlo
Insects, placed them where they could bo
easily watched nt swarming time, paid $7.C."
for lumber to mako n house for them, se
cured an extra hlvo to havo ready In caso
ot an emergency, nnd wnltcd. During tho
swarming seaEon wo succeeded, with tho
aid of cow bells, dish pans, n lawn sprink
ler, our eutlio family and a number of
neighbors, In hiving two strong colonies.
In this way wo gained considerable export
onco and felt the sting of Ingratitude- pretty
often. In fact, wo folt those stings pretty
much all tho time during tho summer.
When winter camo wo mado their house a
little warmer, banked In the hives with a
ton or Has of straw, and wero satisfied. An
Investigation made tho other day revealed
oxactly threo llvo bees and thirteen quarts
ot dead ones to the entire threo hives. Wo
could then Investigate those hives at our
own pleasure nnd without any great danger
of again experiencing tho sting ot Ingrati
tude. After chewing comb and contemplat
ing the situation for about one minute nnd
thirty seconds wo reached tho conclusion
that ono editor at least don't know enough
to handlo bees successfully, but does know
altogether too much to try It again. Of
this wo aro convinced, a man may bo nblo
to grow strawberries nnd opeckled chickens
successfully; ho, may be nblo to ralso merry
war among popocrnts, but bees nro dlfferont.
Wo now havo for sale at n discount a beo
house, two hives as good ns now and well
stocked with choleo comb, ono hlvo rather
the worse for wear, two beo veils and $11,65
worth of experience."
