Convention City Hotels 



|HE hotel committee for the Boston convention has sent out a circular 

 letter containing the list of hotels which is here appended, with prices 

 and other particulars. The committee has made comprehensive arrange- 

 ments and in most cases can hold reservations until August 15. It 

 will be best to write direct to the hotel for reservations, but the 

 committee suggests that intending visitors send duplicate announce- 

 ments to the office of the general secretary, 120 Boylston street, Boston, 

 Room 702, as a record, as it is the desire to help members in every way. Besides 

 the hotels below, there are a number of other excellent family hotels in the 

 vicinity of the garden and hall and innumerable first-class furnished rooming 

 houses and reasonably priced restaurants. 



People intending to stay at Back Bay hotels, the Somerset, Nottingham, 

 Thorndike, Westminster, Lenox, Victoria, Canterbury, Hemingway, Vendome or 

 Carleton, or to look for furnished rooms, should leave trains via N. Y., N. H. & H. 

 R. R. and Boston & Albany R. E. at the Back Bay stations of the roads, all 

 others at the South Station terminal. Patrick WelcH, 226 Devonshire street, 

 Boston, is chairman of the hotel committee. 



The Copley PJaza hotel, in Copley Square, has been chosen as official head- 

 quarters of the convention. It is one block from the Back Bay and Huntington 

 avenue railroad stations. To reach this hotel, leave the train at the Back Bay 

 station. Check your baggage to the Back Bay and Huntington avenue stations, 

 as it will be transferred to and from the hotel without charge.

In order that there be no confusion, Mr. Welch wishes to call special attention to 

 the similarity of the names Copley Plaza, Copley Square, and Plaza. In making res- 

 ervations, be careful to address the hotel you have in mind. 



OBITUARY

Julian Hanft died suddenly July 2 

 of heart failure at his home in New 

 York. He jvas 84 years of age. Mr.

 many in the year 1849, about the time 

 o f th e gold fever, and took up his trade 

 as custom tailor. He worked for 

 Brooks Bros., in Catherine street, New 

 York, until about 1865, when his eye- 

 sight failed and he went with his 

 brothers into the flower business at 693 

 Broadway. He remained with them 

 until 1878, when he ventured into busi- 

 ness with his son, under the firm name 

 of Hanft & Son, at 793 Broadway, op- 

 posite Grace church. This firm was 

 unsuccessful and Mr. Hanft shortly re- 

 turned to his brothers, with whom he 

 remained until about three years ago, 

 when his nephews gave him a pension 

 up to the time of his death. He leaves 

 a son, W. A. Hanft, who is with Young 

 & Nugent, New York, and three mar- 

 ried daughters. 



W. H. Tincher. 



News comes of the death of W. H.

 ness at Decatur, 111., for fifteen years. 

 He was 68 years old and had suffered 

 from paralysis for a year. At Decatur 

 he did a big business, especially in

 ness from which he had been suffering 

 for several days. Upon examination 

 by a physician he was removed to the 

 hospital, where he died in a few min- 

 utes. Mr. Eastwell was widely known
