hat greater abomination, the organized, covetous, unscrupulous traffic, which, making merchandise of human souls for its own aggrandizement, works the most fearful evils in almost all dense populations. Massachusetts, by her local-option law of 1881, had been giving her cities and towns the opportunity to throw off this paralysis, and many of them had taken advantage of it, including our border city of Somerville, which, for some years, had excluded the saloon. The result was that Cambridge d in this connection is to refer briefly, first, to the results, and then, to the methods of our excluding the saloon. Following is a tabular exhibit of the vote of Cambridge on this question since the State Local Option Law went into effect in 1881:— Tabular exhibit of vote.

sand in the basin and appurtenant to the territory. Thus the reclamation of the lands would be followed by the removal of the nuisance of the offensive outer flats, and a full basin of water, independent of the tides, would be created fronting the broad esplanade. Effort was to be made to hasten the construction of the bridge from West Chester Park, the extension of which across the river would strike the territory to be improved at a central point. Appeal was made to the legislature of 1881 for authority to permit the proprietors to unite in carrying out their enterprise of improvement, and liberal corporate powers were granted them under the name of the Charles River Embankment Company. The esplanade two hundred feet in width was provided for, to be appropriated to public use, and a right of eminent domain to project it beyond the limits of the combined ownership of the incorporators to the bridges at either end as termini was granted. The capital of the company was fixed at

igh positions of different kinds. This shows that some of them get a right start at least on the road to higher learning in this school. Mr. Lyman R. Williston opened a school for girls, on Irving Street in 1862. It was removed the following year to its present situation. It is called The Berkeley Street School from its location. Mr. Williston conducted the school with success until 1870, and then transferred it to his brother-in-law, Mr. Justin E. Gale, who, in turn, passed it over in 1881 to Miss Margaret R. Ingols, who still carries it on. The Browne and Nichols School. In the fall of 1883, at the suggestion of Professor Child, Professor Norton, and others interested in the establishment in Cambridge of a school for boys which should effectively meet the demands of the new education, the Browne and Nichols School was founded at No. 11 Appian Way. The principals had graduated from Harvard only five years before, and they therefore brought to bear upon the problem fresh e

need and the opportunity for an organization which should investigate applications for relief, record the results of such investigation, furnish the information thus obtained to those who were engaged in relief work, and should also endeavor to improve the condition of the unfortunate through the suggestions and advice of volunteer visitors. To carry out all these objects is the aim of the Associated Charities, and to form such a society Dr. Vaughan arranged for a meeting in the spring of 1881. At a meeting held later a committee was formed of which Mr. J. B. Warner was chairman; Dr. Ephraim Emerton, secretary; Mr. Henry N. Tilton, treasurer; and the members came from all parts of Cambridge. A somewhat more formal organization was made in December of that year. Miss S. A. Pear was appointed registrar to record and furnish to those interested the facts learned through investigation, and an office was provided by the city in the Central Square building in Cambridgeport.

nd, with the approval of Miss Parsons, it was closed May 1, 1872. It is due to this warm-hearted, energetic woman to declare that her interest in the hospital never flagged, and the hope never ceased that the day would come when the dearest wish of her heart would be realized. In December, 1873, Mr. Isaac Fay bequeathed to the hospital $10,000, with the restriction that it should be used only for the erection of buildings. This generous bequest thus restricted was carefully invested. In 1881, nine years after the hospital had been closed, Cambridge having been increased by 20,000 inhabitants, the necessity for it became more and more apparent. We were sending more than 100 patients annually to a single Boston hospital. Interest in the cause was renewed, and by liberal gifts, and especially by a Fair held by the ladies of Cambridge in December of the same year, $12,000 were added to its funds. These funds were still further increased by many gifts during the following two years
