Boston was originally named Tremont or Trimountain, from being built on three hills—Beacon, Kopp and Fort hills. In 1630 the court of Charlestown ordered the name changed to Boston. This was the name of a city in England, a contraction of St. Botolph's town, a town in Lincolnshire, which grew up round a famous monastery.

ALL HOPE GIVEN UP.
The Lake Steamer Chicora Was Undoubtedly Lost.
NO ONE ON BOARD WAS SAVED.
Wreckage Drifted Ashore, Which Leaves
No loubt About the Disaster—Delega
tion of Searchers Make Their Report.
An Interview With One of tho Principal
Owners of the Ill-f ated Vessel.
Benton Hakbor, Mich., Jan. 25.— These saddened communities have entirely given up the hapless steamer Chicora as lost with all on board. Telegrams announcing the finding of wreckage near South Haven have beert constantly coming since Wednesday noon, but the blow that crushed all hopes was received yesterday afternoon, It announced that the searching party had found a portion of the Chicora's passenger gangway, curtains and other pieces of her main deck and bulwarks, also parts of drawingrooms 27 and 28 and a large part of the boat's baggageroom. I
This telegram was supplemented bj the following from the delegation of searchers: "We started at 7 a. m., at S a a so a a north and came upon lots of wreckage, Have found pieces from the top to lower deck, most of baggageroom, an upper shutter and one life preserver. Found one barrel of flour from the cargo, Some of the doors and cabin bulkheads are found. Much wreckage is in sight further north.''
party had i'ouud tlie forward spar and a piece of wood witli the name Chicora 011 it. Captain Ed Stoue was about 45 years of ago, and has beeu in the employ of the Graham & Morton Transportation company for 17 years. He sailed the Chicora since she first came out. He leaves a wife, his only child, Benjamin, being second mate of the Chicora. Cornelius D. Simons, first mate, had been with the Graham & Morton company for 21 years. He was 40 years of age and leaves a wife and child. Robert McClure, first engineer, had been with the company two years, and was one of the most skillful marine engineers on the lakes. He was 50 years of age and leaves a wife and five children in Detroit.
James R. Clark, clerk of the Chicora, had for years been quite prominent in Republican political circles in this state, and for four years hild the office of United btates court marshal. Ho was about 5U years of age and leaves a wife and daughter.
Other members of the crow were steady and reliable men, and mostly old employes.
The Chicora was equipped with tho strongest engines of any boat on the lakes, bein& 2U.3 and 54 triple expansion, of 2,000 horsepower, rated at 20 miles an hour, licensed to carry 1,200 excursionists in summer. She was built three years ago, expressly for winter service, with six-inch outer plank covering and with triple compartments, each independent of one another. She was 900 tons burden, 225 feet long, o(i feet beam, 40 feet over all, costing the company initio,000.
PRINCIPAL OWNER TALKS.
Tlxer* Was "o Insurance oil Either tho
Vj ss«:l or (lie Car-jo.
Chicago. Jan. 25.—Andrew Crawford, the principal owner of tho Chicora, said yesterday afternoon: "There was no insurance, and the loss to the company will be about $175,000. But our greatest regret is the loss of life. It is dread!ul to think tha^ so many lives have been lose. Captain Stone was a particularly fine fellow, able and courteous. I knew him well. He has been w-itli the company some 20 odd years, and knew the lakes as well as any captain in the service. "I do not blame him for the wreck of the Chicora, and yet it seems as though if he had studied his barometer Monday I morning he would have known the I storm was coming. The storm signals, I however, I have learned, were not displayed in Milwaukee for tiiroe hours 1 after the boat had left that port. "The gale must have struck the boat about o'clock. If Captain Stone had put into port or turned back all would have been weil, but I suppose he thought it would blow over, and kept on. 1 cal- I culate the Chicora must have been I within 10 or 12 miles of St. Joseph when she was caught in the ice. "What happened then will probably I never be known. However, it is easy to say what might have been. That Captain Stone did his duty and guided his boat to the best of his knowledge I have not the slightest doubt. "The second mace, Bennie Stono, was an only son of the captain. Mrs. Stbne is left alone at the family home at St. Joseph."
A peculiar circumstance in connection with Boswell J. Pearl's connection with the disaster is that Captain Stone once saved the lives of Mr. Pearl and his father. Four years ago they attempted to cross the lake in a small yacht from St. Joseph to Chicago. In the middle of Lake Michigan the boat capsized, throwing both occupants into the water. After floating around for nearly four hours on the bottom of the yacht, Captain Stone's boat hove in sight, and rescued the men from thbir perilous position.
ROUGH WEATHER AT SEA. feafe Arrival of a A 'pssc! After a ^Ninety
Hays' Voyage.
SAN FRANCISCO, .Jan. 25.—The British ship Paltolloch has just arrived in this port after a voyago from ^New South Wales that lasted 90 daws, and during which sho lost two of her crew. She was obliged to put back to port three days after starting on account of tho injury received by the captain during a storm and the damage to tho vessel.
Under command of another captain she started out the second time and had a terrible voyago. The decks wero sprung by tho weight of water on them and nearly all tlie rigging was wrecked.
On the hird day out, while tiie seamen wero endeavoring to securo a water cask that had gotten loose, two of the men wore wasiied overboard and drowned. rcaMiry Malcnient.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Yesterday's statement of tho condition of the treasury show#: Available cash balance, gold reserve, ^8,004,-128.
I NEARWG AN END."
A still later report stated that the the niglit, as it was before the strike.
the Backbone of the Brooklyn Strike t* About Broken.
Brooklyn, Jan. 25.—Judging by surface indications, the strike of electrio street railways is near its end. The peace of the city is not fully restored, and it will not be so long as the lata employes of the traction oompaniell have hope of forcing themselves baofc into the positions they held 12 days ago! TP these men there was a ray of light in the decision handed down yesterday by Justice Gay nor of the supreme court or Queen si county in the matter of the application of Joseph Loader, a shopkeeper, for a writ of mandamus to compel the Brooklyn Heights Railway company to operate its lines in a manner to meet the requirements of the public.
In the opinion of Justice Gayuor, the corporation is held to be in default of its obligations to the publio, incurred by the acceptance of a franchise for a specific purpose it is placed under the imputation of having more regard for the profits of shareholders than for the convenience of citizens and it is de^ clared to be the company's duty to man its cars at whatever expense may be necessary.
Instances of violence toward the new men have b« en frequent and quite a number of arrests were made during the day of men guilty of assaults. Several wire cutters also fell .into the hands of the police and it is a noteable fact that they were strikers. Lbug stretches of wire have been carried away in some localities and a general disposition shown to injure the property of the street railway companies as much as possible. The fixing of the blame for this upon the strikers costs the people dear in the way of public sympathy.
Traffic is not yet continued through
On some lines cars were run in as early as o'clock, but on others they continued to make their trips as late as 10 o'clock. The streets generally, present an aspect of tranquility, and the theaters, which have felt the effect of the tie-up perhaps as severely as any of the I business concerns in the city, are enjoying a measure able return of prosperity.

Man Choy was shot through the abdomen and Ah Sing terribly lacerated with a knife about the head and body. The police ofiticers from Pacific Grove and Monterey are at the scene of the bloody battle and have placed the participants under arrest and are using every precaution to prevent further outbreaks.

WARD M'ALLISTER'S VIEWS.
Really Thinks a Gentleman Stay Engage In Certain Lilies ol BusineM.
During the period of our civil war society became utterly demoralized, and many persons amassed fortunes by stocks and gold speculations, and government contracts carno to the surface by their reckless extravagance, says Ward McAllister in his wise way in the New York World. Then came the period of railway speculators, many of them genuine railway robbers, as they acquired fortune in a dishonest and reckless manner, but under our modern leniency we do not care how a man acquires his fortune so long as he is clever enough to escape the prison walls.
At present we are just coming to the reign of the great shopkeepers. Shopkeeping has changed so in 50 years that to manage one of our great dry goods, grocery or tailoring establishments requires the ability of a general. The modern shopman is no longer cringing and servile, but holds up his head as high as the man who patronizes him.
In the second generation the old time prejudice which formerly existed vanishes, and undoubtedly in a few years the millionaire proprietors of our great Broadway and Sixth avenue stores will be knocking and demanding admission to society's exclusivo functions.
There is undoubtedly a set here who might bo termed reactionary who fight against this impending change, but our old family element, I am afraid, must content themselves with their meetings of Colonial Dames, Colonial Wars and other kindred societies, and acknowledge that "tho old order changeth.
The question now arises: Can a tradesman be a veritable genan I reply unquestionably, yes. Tho idea of what constitutes a gentleman is very varied, aud a definition is perhaps different iu America from tho definition in England. In a general sense in this country it applies to every one who is not a blackguard, as one work- I ingman will say to another, "Be a gentleman," or, "Behave yourself liko a gentleman."
But of course this is not tho idea that I proposo to discuss. Tho point is: Is it I possible for a man engaged in trado to have all tho instincts and feelings of a truo gentleman, or does the continual striving after gain give a shoppy and commercial tinge to his whole nature?
This depends upon tho man himself. I In London a man in "tho city" is not usually found in tho drawing rooms of
In America all this is different. I A young man on finishing his edut tion hero is generally very anxious to get to work and find some opportunity to commence a business career. Our young men of family and fortune rarely think of the army, navy and diplomacy and still less of tho church. Not. that these careers do not contain many estimablo persons, but they are certainly not regarded with as much favor as tho legal profession or as commerce, banking, engineering or mining. Take, for instance, young men after completing their education in England and America—they aro at that period of their life much alike—and then take them 15 years later. Are tho Americans any the less true gentlemen for having spent that time in the rush to securo fortune, or does it blunt all their finer sensibilities?
Tho Duko of Argyll answered this question conclusively, for ho put all his younger sons in trade.
They are not necessarily any tho less true gentlemen.
Rural Chins.
On every side whito homesteads are scattered, each in its setting of giant bamboo shoots. When you have realized tho fact thai each of these little lusters of limo washed cottages represents tho homo of fathers, sons, grandsons and all their femalo belongings, you will begin to appreciate the density of the population. In front of every farm stand yellow straw stacks raised on wooden legs, and under each a tiny red cow ruminates or else a dull, hairy water buffalo, stupidly wondering whether a mouthful of straw snatched from above will repay the trouble of balancing on his hind legs.
The general effect is most homelike and pleasant. It must bo added that a closer inspection of ono of these farms does not prove so satisfactory. Round about tho ground is strewed with litter and broken earthenware, whilo the drainage from the cattlo sheds forms puddles on tho roadway. Tho plaster lifts fallen in flakes from tho walls. Tho gay lanterns and gaudy texts in red and black that adorn tho entranco only accentuate the dismal untidiness. Nor is the semicircular fish tank, half full of stagnant water, pleasing either to eyes or nose.
Clattering across tho drying floor between it and tho house, I bring out a pack of curly black haired dogs, who bark furiously, but at a respectful distance.

BIG WARS CAUSED BY TRIFLES.
A Shaven Chin Cost France Three Million Lives—Modena's Uucket.
Many times it has happened that a great and costly war has been brought about by an incident trivial and even ridiculous.
Thus the war of the Spanish succession is said to havo been caused through a glass of waiter. A lady, Mrs. Masham, was carrying a glass of water when she was obstructed by the Marquis do Torey. A slight scuffle ensued, and the water was spilled.
Tho marquis thereat took offense, and bad feeling ensued between tho English and French courts, with tho ultimate result that a war was declared.
Tho campaign cost France many sovero battles—viz, Blenheim, 1704 Ramillies, 1707 Audenarde, 1708, and Malplaquet, 170!).
Quite as absurd in its origin-was the war that took place during tho commonwealth of Modena.
A soldier stole a bucket from a publio well belonging to the state of Bologna. Although tho value of tho article did not exceed a quarter, its annexation was tho signal for a fiereo and prolonged war.
Henry, tho king of Sardinia, assisted the Modenese to retain the bucket, and in one of tho subsequent battles he was made a prisoner. Tho bucket is still exhibited in the tower of tho cathedral of Modena.
A third instance of a war resulting from a trifling causo was that between Louis VII of Franco and Henry II of England.
Tho archbishop of Rouen decreed that no ono should wear long hair upon their heads or chins. Louis submitted to tho decrce, whereupon his wife, Eleanor, rallied him up.on his appearance. A quarrel ensued, which resulted in tho dissolution of tho marriago and Eleanor's marriago with Henry.
By this marriage tho broad domains in Normandy formerly belonging to Louis passed into tho possession of Henry. Louis, hotly incensed, mado an attack on Normandy, and henceforth, for nearly 300 years, aroso those bloody and devastating wars which cost Franco upward of 8,000,000 cf lives.—London Answers.
CARDINAL ANTONELLI.
He Ap-
Tlie Great I'iipivl St it«\smsiii a 1 est red to J'aintor. Rudolph Lelnuann's visit to Rome ia 1857 led to the painter's introduction to tho great papal statesman, Cardinal Antonelli. Ho says:
Before me sat that execrated statesman, "tho best hated man iu Rome," in tho most affable of moods. I-Iis bronzed and somewhat oriental features wero certainly far from handsome, but they were full of character, energy, and, according to some, cruelty, wilh tho large, dark, piercing eyes overshadowed by a heavy brow, the strong aquilino noso and tho full sensual lins.
iio was
in a talkative mood and spoko freely of tho difficulties that beset his onerous ministry, ol'the position of tho papacy becoming daily more threatened through tho ever increasing energy of its wickcd enemies, or what ho called "tho modern spirits." "But," he added, "history teaches us that it has always triumphed in tho long run, and it will do so now." Ho also told mo that the worldly interests of the brothers Antonelli had never been separated that they possessed all their worldly goods in common, 0110 brother being director of the Banca Romana one, the (..'onto Gregorio, taking care of their vast possessions in tho Pontine marshes, a third being syndaeo of Romoand tho youngest being employed in diplomatic missions by tho secretary of state.
During a short rest ho showed me, with evident pride, over his elegant apartment, furnished with all the latest modern comforts. But tho crowning climax was the bedroom, combining with tho solemnity and mystery of tho abodo of a prince of tho church all tho luxuries of tho boudoir of a petite maitresse. Tho walls, the curtains, as well as tho hangings round the spacious four poster, wero of tho heaviest crimson damask, looped up with enormous tassels.—Boston Herald.
j§p| The Keauties of tho Alleghauies.
Tho Alleghanies aro fertilo to tho very summits, and not the least of their glories aro their magnificent forests of oak, hickory, chestnut, maple, pine and other noble trees, in tho spring when they are budding forth, in tho summer when they aro in tho full bloom of maturity and when tho laurel is in blossom, and I in tho fall, when tho brilliant tints of red and gold and green and purplo overwhelm ono with a sense of Mother Nature's a stlietio genius in always liar--: ryonizing such a jirofusion of colors.
After all, it is tho thoroughly satisfactory sport to bo had with tho gamo. sheltered in these mountains that most' endears them to tho man who has any tasto whatever for that sort of thing. Tho conditions aro perfect. Tho gamo ranges from quail, or, as tho Virginians call it, partridge, to deer and bear, and especially this is ono of tho last strongholds of that noble game bird, tho wild turkey.—Magazino of Travel.
The Nonprofessional I'rofilo Head.
"I don know how many times I havo seen people—I don't mean artists, but all sorts of people, including children— draw prolilo heads. It is common enough for anybody to draw them on a slate, a scrap of paper, anywhere," said Mr. Billtops, "but I don'^remember ever to have seen any of them draw a right handed profile—I mean ono facing to tho right. I suppose there is some very simple reason for this, but I am acquainted only with tho fact."—Now ^f'ork Sun.

"You brought, all that beautiful china back with you?" exclaimed tho caller. "Didn't you break anything?" "Nothing but the customs laws," replied tho young lady, who had just returned from Europo.—Washington Star,
