Convict Ship Big Attraction. 
‘That ancient and sinister vessel 
the old British Convict Ship “Suc- 
cess” still continues to be a decided 
attraction in Boston, the daily at- 
tendance running into thousands. 
The solid character of her construc- 
tion excites the wonder of all who 
see her, and the various implements 
of punishment and torture shown on 
board can only be described as the 
acme of cruetly. If one were a be- 
liever in the transmigration of souls 
it would be easy to imagine that the 
spirit of Nero had entered into the 
body of the designer of this grew- 
some old ship and her “fittings.” 
The changes she has undergone as 
to her employment, the vicissitudes 
she has experienced, and the strange 
adventures which have taken place 
on board this old prison ship make 
her an object of great historical in- 
terest. Around the ‘‘Suecess’’ fam- 
ous novelists have weaved romances 
and anyone in search of a new thrill 
cannot do better than visit her. She 
is at Warren Bridge near the North 
Station, Boston, and is open to the 
public daily from nine in the morn- 
ing to ten at night and on Sundays 
from one to ten. ' 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
ONE DEBATE ENOUGH, 
GARDNER SAYS. 
Hamilton Congressman Requests 
Senator Schofield to Select Suit- 
able Place for Joint Debate— 
Does Not Want to be “Pestered.”’ 
The latest chapter in the Gard- 
ner-Schofield controversy concern- 
ing the joint debate of the two can- 
didates for Congress is contained in 
a letter from Congressman Gardner 
asking that Senator Schofield name 
a date suitable to both parties. Mr. 
Gardner’s letter is as follows: 
Hamilton Mass., Oct. 8, 1912. 
Hon. George A. Schofield, 
Ipswich, Mass. 
My dear Sir:—I have received 
your letter of October 4, 1912, men- 
tioning dates for four joint debates. 
! hope that you do not mean to pes- 
ter me; but it was one debate, not 
four, which I accepted. Moreover, 
I hardly know whether your assign- 
ment of dates is meant to be serious 
or not. For instance, I find that 
the Gloucester City Hall has al- 
ready been engaged by other par- 
ties on the day you set for our de- 
bate in that city. I find that you 
have neither asked for nor taken 
any option on the Haverhill City 
13 
Hall on the day which you set for 
our debate in Haverhill. The same 
is true of Newburyport on the day 
which you set for our debate in that 
city. 
Pray select any one date which 
you choose; and please remember 
that your delay is hampering my . 
campaign. 
I wrote you privately several 
days ago, as follows:—‘Would it 
be asking too much if I were to re- 
quest any early announcement from 
you, as I am receiving a good many 
requests to speak?” I now respect- 
fully repeat that suggestion. Un- 
der the circumstances mentioned in 
your letter, there will, of course, be 
no tickets for the debate. 
Very truly yours, 
AUGUSTUS P. GARDNER. 
P. S.—Your communication of 
September 7th about Senator Na- 
son’s record was written when I 
was in the Canadian woods. Pray 
excuse my tardy answer. The mis- 
take of the Boston Journal of which 
you complained, however, was at 
once corrected in. that newspaper, in 
consequence of a personal call 
from my secretary, Mr. Dugan, on 
the editor, Mr. Underwood. Did 
you know these facts?
