Bptnoers Met Saturday Decided.

and So

There will be no strike in this ciiy at preseni. After a lengthy meeting of the Mule Spinners' union at Spin- ners' hull Saturday afternoon, the decision not to strike was practically sei- tled.

While no definite action was taken, the Spinners are nearly unauinious in tle-ir present condition, 'o follow the program uf-th.cîia.tlonal union, which Is that all efforts should be centered at New Bedford.

./-.The .annual report ai the general superintendent of prisious just issued is Interesting because of the plan-i laid out for keeping the inmates from Idleness under the new law limiting the number that can be put at work at the different Industries.

At the Salem Jail this hfllelal says Hint if nothing better can be secured, an -Attempt will be made to obtain some cane-seating at tills place. The sliou room is so small, however, that not many prisoners can IK- employed on ihat industry."

On account of the few prisoners and short sentences, no productive work will lie attempted at the Ncwburyporl Jail.

At the Lawrence jail the report says: "The agreement for work on the piece- price plan contained no provision'for Its termination, and consequently it will remain in force until its expira- tion, The work here consists of t.te manufacture of men's and women's slippers, haltuoinls and Oxfords, all of cheap quality.

"The only two kinds of work that seem feasible at the Ipswich house of collection are-tane-scutlng and breaking stone.

"In regard to the first. Hie objection arisen that a large dumber of prisoners are elsewhere engaged in that work, This might noi be a serious Objection if it should be found tnat practically none ot the work is done by free workmen. But there Is another objection to it. which should have great force. It Is not a proper employment for the ablc-bodle 1 iramps and vagrants who go to the county prison. The only thing to be snid in favor of It is that it is better than nothing.- but a substitute for it should be adopted wherever it is possible to find one. lpon the land of the institution-there is considerable stone, which could be made useful In rou 1 building, and it has been suggest! d to tin- master that, by constructing

In the meantime, the I'nlou Station had been turned Into a dormitory, with ill,, trains In the yards tbr private apartments. Hundrediof men. women and children had passed the night there,'.-, and at t™ o'clock in the morning were In various stages of slumber, from the BoTfflar, who sat bolt upright with rigid er/ellds, to tin- man who, in utter aban- dojimeut and oullvlon, was snoring at tin; top of his lungs, or whatever part of his anatomy produces that Indicator of honest, sound sleep- B* degrees every body waked up. the lost of the nodders being fully moused by the cheer given by a train load of Lynn business men, who had left home in the vicinity of seven o'clock, and who had finally niached Boston somewhere about eleven. Once or twice during the morning, an official came- Into the waiting room, announced* that certain trains were ready for certain places, but forno place more than ten miles away. At noon there was not the slightest indl- inion of an out-going train for Law- rence.

With daylight, courage bad revived, ■ md many men, and some women, with determination and umbrellas, filed out through the wet, snowy meal that In some places was three and four feet diop. • Another crowd stood just inside die doors and watched the results of the still busy clouds.

THIS IS A GREAT BARGAIN.

The physicians and surgeons in th" immediate vicinity were pressed Into service and the B. and M. railroad as .moil as puss lile sent out a corps n four surgeons to aid them. They were at once Bent to the Somervllle hoard ial for duty.

The scene about Wiuler Hill slatioi was one of great confusion. As soon as the news of the accident becann known- friends of persons In the train who were living In the vicinity, ar.ivul at the station with anx'ous Inquiries tor their friends. 'I ho wrecking train was tent out about 8 o'clock und a' li the track was nearly cleared

The reply given was thai Hie New Bedford matter should first be decided before Its endorsement was givi n to any union outside of thut city. ,

The mutter was discUBsed lit great length and the advocates of a strike had a damper placed In their talk in such n manner that they 'will hot b» h.-irii rrotti for some time. The New Bedford soliciting committee wen- a! the meeting and argued in favor of i careful course to pursue in the matter und Bail! that all efforts should be in behalf of thu operatives of that city; for a victory for them, .ucant a victory for all.

The spinners finally agreed witli the arguments presented and at the meeting to lake place this evening it Is nrobable that the vote to accept th cut down for the present will be unanimous. The local leaders say that this is the wisest policy to advocate und it Is undoubtedly the opinion of the public at large.

The flames lit up the entire locality and the sight was one that ennnot be described. The storm was at its height, the burning building, the 0xs- men covered with snow and the steamers at work, all presented a sight that made the on-looker far from being envious of the men.

The two houses are pretty badly*gut- ted but the frames are stilt good. The roofs of both are burnt through. The personal property was greatly damaged by the hre and water. Dr. Howard had a valuable collection o: books which are almost a total IOBS.

Ih1. Howard's loss is nearly as much as that of Mr. Field.

Mr. Fields Ivrse is owned by the t Pacific mills. Ida property of Dr. Howard Is insured for $4000 bv A. R Mack.

The families of Dr. Howard and Mi- Field were gotten out and cared for by the neighbors. Dr. Howe. Mr. Beach and Dr. Sargent. The crowd began to collect even ou such a night for tbe second .alarm could not keep them from venturing out. Mauy will* Inn hands assisted the firemen but little property was removed from the house. The steamers poured great volumes of water into the building and The- was flooded.

One of Mr. F.eld's children was it w th scarlet fever. She was removed •\ Dr. Howe, who took oar to his bouse. The other inmates were re moved in safety but they were in n very bad condition from fright and excitement.

The (lames as they shot up through tbe roof and from the windows pre sented a terrible spectacle and at one time the sparks l!e\\ iu all directions, .-'con after miilu ght the liie was prac- tbally under control and for some hcurs ;he firemen worked among the smouldering embers.

Dr. Howard was insured with A. K. Mack for $1.0(it> on his real estate, while his personal property is insured to n slight extent bv .1. F. Smith of Haverhlll.

Many friends called to offer services and among those early on the scene Were Dr. Howe, Judge Stone, Alder- man Lynch, J. C. Crombie and others.

Ilesidents provided hot coffee for tfii fin-men and their efforts inthls line we're-highly appreciated. While the men were at work ou the house many were compelled to quit aud Chief Heal called to a number of bystander* to relieve them. ■ They responded.

It Is a fact that such a flic neve occurred' under such conditions ol weather as this one and the work of tantly ceased and everybody

ception in a disordered digestion and faulty nutrition. Thii is true of that most deadly of diseases—consumption. It is also true of nervous prostration and exhaustion and also of alt forms of waiting disease. Ail- ments of this description may not onlv be prevented but cured Dy a resort lo the right remedy.

An unfailing cure for all diseases that have their origin in disordrrs of the digestion and faulty nutrition is found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

Since the time of Commodore Perry forcing open the very gates of. ifta P3TW or jgnan the people <%- that louutrv liaM' made great progress in almost every liiif o( civilization. American id ems of nearly every modern device have been taken advantage of by tiie people and today the traveller In that country is very strongly Impressed with t-be apparent peogren under the'so-called Christian Ideas During the 30 years of the open ports through which the nations of the eart, have sent their representaives and tht missionary some 12.r.,000 have pro fessed Christ. The speaker said iha he loved this land and Its people bu tbe work for the salvation of louh was yet 10 be accomplished. 'lln first year* of the Christlnn missionary were fruitful ones and tbe work war one of great promise. Tbe condkioi today was far different than that pictured in the newspaper or magazines and the reasons for thlB condition an many. The native is possessed of t> strong patriotism and the little glr. of tender age as well as the emporo: would give their life for their country QgeB a condition Is very remahnhK for a nation that has been alone 1) the world for so many ages and lb' chief source of success of the few mis- sionaries has been by appealing U their patriotism. They tell the peo pie that by living a Christian lire tht condition la such that they are ol more service to their country for a- honest man is 'if more good to hit country than of all the dishonest. The early missionary had a difficui task to perform ami his progress was slow. The things that did not con earn the Ghrlat wera all eagerly sough tor and the country is one of pro gross. The native Christian appeal; to his countrymen along the line o least regression. Wflen the atudeki or that person who baa shown somi interest in the story of Christ apps&Tl to act under the wrong motive th" lint of work Is Changed as gtadually at possible and the teacher endeavors not to correct the wrong but to gi back a little and begin on a new lliv of work. The labor is hard and on* or nattonee.

A few years ago the government us sunied that ojf'a modern nation ami the laws of the nations of ICnropt were made an example of in the land The natives were given representation in parliament and the system of tV; pudiciary waa framed. At that time the condition'of tin- country app».ircd to retard so tar as Christianity wa? concerned and the missionary was 11 a peculiar condition. The recent wai with China caused great excitement in Japau ami at its close with a great victory won the people of that land thought they would be soon the mag ters of the* entire world.

This was a hard blow to the nation for the greatness of tht country was suddenly blotted out and the people who were at all Intel eaten In tbe Christianity of the miasionarj became cold. They said that the cob ■.minus of war and it« result were tUr work of the nations from whence the Dftfljchstl came and throughout the nation the task of preaching the fOtpp was a difficult one. But the people were told that the Christianity that was taught them was not of wars 01 of lands but that of salvation and afte a time and today the land Is unee mun on the advance to a better condition. The work is hard and costly but a people like the Japanese are worth saving.

The speaker made some startling statements relative to the people as t whole. The idea that the people there are advanced In morality Is not 30, fo lu that nation there is no morality.

The travellers who have been tht marvel'jiis works of net. the many im urovemcnls of the American Idea, sue. as railroadB and the electric light, uoth of which abountrin the remotest part of the country, are giving to placing the Intellectuality of the people jli a paT with morality and aonie go no fur as to speak of it as Christian.

In connection with Longfellow he spoke of Bvangeline, her sojourn in North An- dover, also of "Elizabeth," "Sandal- phon," "The Beautiful Legend," aud other poems, including "Hiawatha."

We must keep the memory of these men of genius green, for the work they did lives forever.

England, ,a war with Mexico, and a bloody rhil war In which one million men tost their Jives or were wounded. \\e have enjoyed the richest blessings, * HI taexhnustahle resources, our high privileges uf education, add mch of the luxuries of plenty. We luive made enormous strtins in discoveries aud^ Inventions: tn agriculture and manu- factures; in commercial relations and m transit; In literature uml the aits and in the sciences aud the learned professions. What We,now want Is a people awake to the responsibilities or the hour.

As we look back over out country's history we see m it nothing of a rev- olutionary character. Like England's, itl! our changes have been long formn- laiiug. It is true our independence wea bora of revoltion, hut the 9eedfl of that revolution were sown Ht Plymouth ami Jamestown nearly two centuries before. The great e-lvll strife grew out of conditions still older.

The most conspicuous change that we have experienced in the administration of our'natiou's affairs is that of a belief In the increasing power of

-the central government and a check in the power of the several states. Out of this difference of oplnicn grew our two "great political parties and for over half a century state right, principles prevailed in our national politics. Thoy, iK'canie a ....defensive doc- trine foi;; the soil of Afrtean slavery, and it took a civil war to settle the matter favorable to the central government.

Universal euffrage ai the clow of the war presented a serious problem. We now trust In our policy of univer- pai education t,v> bring about a satis; factory solution in all its bearings?

One great question still presents itself and that is the administration of our commercial finances. The op- posing principles of a protective taritl and of free tiade are .still struggling for the mastery. And not by any means less urgent Is the question of the stability of our national currency. A radical change in our foreign policy and an edequate navy to keep it company, demands our consideration. The province of the Civil Service appears to engage much attention. These and many other iinportuut matters agitate the public mind. Wo also find In our

As ! recall something of Seo'land's hibtory, I find that the real disturbance In her national existence began In the reign of M ilcnm III. His residence' In England, together with his marriage with an English princess, led to the introduction of English customs, the Bngllsn language and an English population. English Influence continued to Increase until the death of the In fant grand-daughter of Alexander III. in 1390, when the succession to the crown became in dispute between Bailol and Bruce. Edward I of England wasc bosen umpire to decide between them and this great ifing sacrificed bu manit) Baliol that he might unite the British Islands uftder one sceptre.

Assistant Secretacy lny was in eonsultatiou with tin; pres. jilent on the subjact UL least Iftmr times d-.ruig jhe official day and then BpC&t Binch time in framing his masaage to / S. Mini.'tei- Wocrtlford at Madrid. The

eili< ial stiite>ment of the sending of thib message was anoomixinled by a declina- tion to Indicate its contents at this time, the department merely givireg to lie prats the following statement:

1 De Lome does not deny writing the .'Ntte:. This department has c.ommuni,

eated: with General Woodford on- the subject. Until that eonimunieation reaches the Spanish government, it would tve improper to. in any manner state the contents of the message to Uitnaml Woodford.. While the de. Iiartmeut refused to add anything to this meagre announcement it can be ^t ate<l w ithout question that M r. Woodford was directed to lay the tacts berore the Spanish government, to- iwlher_>ith a.^tatenuMit that in view oi the minister's refusal to deny me au- tliorship or the letter, the Spaniah gov. einment is lookwl to with confidence to deal with the case properly. This ;onour.ta to an invitation to reca'l the minister, presuming that he himself has not already taken steps to vacate his position.

No doubt is entertained of a com- pliance with the Implied. suggestion but In case there should be undue de lay in acting, the state department U called upon to move dire.-tlv in the matter and give the minister hi passports, as was done when Sir Juliat 1'aunoefote's predecessor wrote the eel ebraited Murohison letter.

Wnsliington, Felt. It.—For mor.e than three hours today the senate chamber tauK with eloquent appeals in behalf nt* the Cuban insurgents. Announced speeches were delivered by .Mi*.> Can* non of Utah and Mr. Mason of Illinois in advocacy of the adoption of resolutions which they presented to the senate. Following Mr. Cannon's speech, Mr. Hale of Maine addressed the senate briefly, urging the senate to ,uphold the policy of the a-lmlnistration. He pointed out that much had already lieen accomplished by President BiC- Kinley, not only for the cause of peace cm the island, but also for the. protection of the Americans and American interests and for the relief of the ve- concentrados and paclflcoe. He main- talned that it would not he good policy by the adoption of any drastic declara- tion, to place the administration in leading strings that might interfere with the carrying into effect of a de lined policy. Long before Mr. Can- non rose to address the senate, galleries were packed with people were aware that this would be a • lay of Cuban oratory.

RYAN'S REPORT.

Former Superintendent's Rcronuiirn dationn Concerning tho Street De partment.

The report of the street department for 1807Ujust completed, gives a resume of the work performed during Supt. Ryan's administration.

Owing to the delay in supplanting the old crusher with the present one the work of macadamizing was not begun until late in the month of May. However, the amount of new macadapi laid equalled 35,01/0 square yards, about _0.iM>u tons of stone being crushed.

Nearly TOOfl feet of edgestone were laid during the year.

I in the paving department no work was done during the previous year, but the 15,000 appropriated for paving last, year was partially expended in paving Common stri-et from Broadway to Boston and Maine lineând New bury street from Kssex to Common streets. This department shows a balance besides (having several hundred paving blocks on hand.

The report calls attention to the matter of sewer lonections which has also been touched upon by former superin- tendents. I'nder the present system contractors are privileged to dig up the streetr for the purpose of making sewer

I connections, and ortentimes the trenches are so poorly filled that they

i require the attehUonn>f the street de- jecoinmends

CitI Solicitor Bell has sent the foi lowing opinion to Mayor HJaiou regard iiiK the apiKdiitmeut of a registrar oj voters which matter has heeu under discussion for some titiK*. M interpretation or the law is the same as that held by Mr. Ka-ton at the com- mencement of the controversy.

In this city the city clerk Is a member of a Iwrard of Registrars. When a sew cl«rk is elected be. longing (o a different political party from his predecessors with the result that those members of the board belong to the same political party, the matter is governed by section -'9. statutes of 1S!»::, chapter 117. This section: is a revNun :. of statutes bf ISM. chainer 41tt,section 21. I'nder these sections no provision is made for the removal or o registrar unless the city clerk and the two registrars lmving the lont?fut lc;m to £erve, or to stat** ll differently, whose terms of office do not expire in the curent yeir, are of one political party. If Hie city clerk and two registrars are of the same political party, but one of the two goes out of office In May of the current year, no provision is made lor any renunal or ehaiige In the office before the tlr.-d of May. Tho general Intention of the statutes l* that the board snail be equally divided, but as no provision Is made for carrying out the intent in the present ease, it seems to me too gre.it a stretch to read a power of. removal into the statue. The board therefore must continue un- equally divided unti! that day when ih" statute requires an appointment from the otner political party which will testore tho political equalityi it U my opladon therefore, that the board of Reg- istrars in the /ity of Lawrence inuct stand us it Is until the first day of May, when a Republican must stand as it is until the first era! whose term then expires.

Klmball has had charge of the hotel, havlnc taken a lease of the property with b. S. Harris. He was at first night elerk of the hotel when it was run bv Arthur (lordon. When the lat ter left, the partnership with Harris was formed, and the lease of the hotel taken bv the TOW firm, lluslneaa la renorted to have been good under the new management, but Harris states that he does not know just how tho linnnclal condition ot the firm stands.

Mr. Oliphant next referred to the primary of a local campaign. The caucus in the town hall is not the primary he said. The third or fourth can. ens is the one held in the town ball. The primary is held in the house or store. There is a machine in Methuen Hint grinds, grinds and grinds, and at times seed is ground very small. A machine is so constructed that all parts work together, each part helping the other. There Is u machine in Methuen that grinds out candidates. The machine works beautifully, too. There Buy he two or three machines. I don't complain of the machine, but I con- lend there should Ue another machine. There ahe many of us who are not tn the machine. The one that is grinding we cannot enter. It is dangerous to meddle with gears. There should be an independent non-partisan govenr ment in Methuen. The time has come when I, with other.--, will endeavor to create another machine should It be the state of this meting.

current issue of the reverend gentleman s "Parish "Caien* dar." under the caption of "The industrial Problem," has this to say on the topic, which baa> an important tearing upon the disturbed relations aovv existing on uccouut of the cut .iowns. The article is written in 'a spirit of fairness, and sizes up the situation in a candid way.' Says Fr. O'Reilly:

A niaiuwho has money to invest" places It -where he considers he Shall be able to receive the largest pioHIs for his investment

A cotton or woolen mill presents an encouraging Opportunity. He buys its stock—one share or ten thommnd; it matters not. He becomes a stockholder.

Ho feels that he miu-.L have a dividend. No law in the land guar- antees such to him. He has only one security, the capability of the mill in which fie owns" stock and of which he is a part owner, to do business at such a prolit as to pay him a dividend. Human nature is not a particle different in th* stockholder and the wage earner. Bach Wants the largest possible re- turns on his Invested capital, be it labor or cash. The law of Chris- tian elmrlty has been blottnl out of the hooks. Ii should not be so. But facts are stubborn tilings In life, and "business is business."

Trade Iff good or bail according to circumstances. There may be ah oversUnked market because of dull times, and the corresponding inability of the people to buy goods or there may be plenty of buying and vet too many competitors for the ir.td<\ supplying the market. In altnef (ilS(' down go prices. The stockholders insist, however, thai dividends must keep up, or their capital will I"- withdrawn from the concern.

Hoards of directors representing the stockholder:; think ami act. for them. The agent or superiuten- i\, nt of th" mill Is selected by ihem. fa paid ;i salary, sotnetlmea a very lame one, hot because Ihey want Mm lo become rich, but be* cause of his ability to reduce the cc.si of manufacturing, and "secure a market for Ids goods, ills salary is earned hi grinding out dividends: and like the weaver at his loom itYc agenl will only be kept in his office while it is evident lhat It is nrofltoble to.keep him there.

He too. is looking after his Own invested capital, bis brain, his experience nnd hi* application. New machinery, new inventions, and the closest application of mind., all cheapen production; but there i« one element thai it seems can always stand squeezing a tittle more and that is apparently helpless to resist. Labor ran be cuj down. It Is not that capital bates labor. It Hoes not. it cannot get along without it. But because of the law of Bel fish hess it loves dividends more. Labor cries oui for justice, tlieed has distorted consciencer and capital thinks that labo; is only sen- timental. Thus ib«' two great forces of human nature, In-the industrial world, war against each other and neither renigiuzUig any tribunal but might the resuH is the suv- \ ival of the flttesf."

;ri'.erc can be no real remedy for the troubles of the industrial world, but In the mutual consideration of each others rights, with the Christian spirit of Justice.

Labor and Capital at variance-re?. senibles two horses pulling a load in opposite directions. Nothing is accomplished by either without the co-operation of the other. But

They were two grammar school girls, bright, pretty ami tastefully dressed. They stepped out of a small store they had entered on their -way to school yesterday afternoon, As soon as they were out of range of the store windows the older of the two opened a tightly Hosed snialL-hnud and revealed fuTfJ i (loienswîtlng pens.

"Oh, m\-!«sYou sioh> .in. Perhaps, there's a policeman after you now.' gasped the other little girl as she cast a fearful glance over her shoulder.

"Oh, 'shawl Folks don't gel Tested for taking such little tnings. Its lots of fun. You feel all of a quiver till j'O" gt-t to the door. I've done it lots ol tinies."

"But your mamma ga.ve you some money to buy some pens with and yon didn't need to steal-ton,"

"You needn't say' ttl al' a;;aiu. I only just took ein. And I shall take toy mOOev to huv randy with, since I didn't need to pay for the pens, and I shan't give you a taste qf the candy either, to-pay you for beldgiso hate- ful to me" anil the little shop-lifter's eves flashed angrily.

"Idon'i waul any of your old candy anyway, and I shall just, tell your niiimma how yiai stole1 the pens.''

"You needn't get so mad. I was only fooling about the candy. Of course 1 shall give you more than half I gei."

Andovcr's old town hall was filled to the doors Tuesday night by an assem- blage of her society people, including Abbott girls and P. A. boys, who came to witness the presentation of Richard Brlnsley Sberidan'H famous comedy, "the Rivals," by Ihe Phillips academy dramatic club.

The costuming nnd staging of the play were excellent and considering Ihe difficulty attending the rendering of such a piece, the boys deserve mu-h credit for their efforts. They were fortunate in being able to secure Mr. Tich- nor of Boston as a coach, as be is one ot the best In the country. Whatever slips inny have occurred were pussed over good- naturedly by the audience, which applauded unslintingly at the best efforts of tho actors.

While most of the parts wer5 locled to .licet the capability of the member of the club undertaking it. some of the characters were especially well rendered. Perhaps the ravonte of the evening was the one played by J. R. Irvine, that of Mrs. Malaprop. He certainly filled the part in ■ very clever manner and k pt the audience on the laugh most ot the time. As Bob Acres, Z. S. Eldredge had a good opportunity to gel in some very cellent acting and seemed thoroughly at home on the stage T. B. Burnett was good as Sir Anthony Absolute and I> W. Thompson was well fitted for the character of Sir Lucius OTrlgger. The servant David »as Interpreted by C. L. Cbllds was above the average and was appreciated by the spectators. The movement of the play dragged at times and its length was a great draw- back. ...

A redeeming feature of the between acts was the delightful music by the Columbian orchestra of 1-awrenre.

Editor of The American: Please make room in your esteemed

pauer lor the brief statement of a few (arts in relation to a sarcastic and mis- leading clipping from tlie Lawrence Eagle (hat appeared In your issue of Feb. S. The facie are as follows: Bal- lardvale lodge held a public Installa- tion and box party lust Monday evening. Methuen was invited, and us is the well known custom ut all box pn» tics, the ladies were requested to bring boxes. Klcven mem tiers of Success lodge were present nt the meeting. The ladles in the party neglected to bring boxes. The party arrived too late lo be nresent nt Ihe installation but were all present In the hall while the boxes were being auctioned ort. During all this time the gentlemen In the Me- thuen delegation lor some reason, best known lo themselves, refrained as far as known from making a single, bid on a box. although their own lodge deputv was acting as auTtioneer.— Hot coffee was furnished free lo all present b- the lodge and the boxes were passed around, and If anyone was omitted It was nol Intentional as there was considerable food left at the conclusion of the party. All the delegations were received in a cordial and friendly manner. Such being the true facts in the ease the mis-slatement of these facts and the alleged "frigidity with which the Methuenltes were treated" must be the fruits of a deceased dmaginatloncoples

up, a g tbinan gol out andiasked Wbal was the matter. One ril" the bysuinders said it was a breakdown, w-hile each of eleven others gave a differentexplunatton as to '.-. l:v the wheel wouldn't go round. The .stronger examined the turnout, led the ponv forward a step. and. as tlie rp*rka began Hying, remarked: "Madam, your horse, harness, cart and wheel Is all right The sparks th.it the tire draws from the curbstenea ai 3 merely outward nympton* of the inward ailment. The rial difficulty is not with the tire of the wheel, but with its axle or Its 'box'." .lust what the man did next it is not necessary to state.but in less, than ten minutes the whole trouble was ended. He-had I.'moved the cause Instead of letup:): izlng with tile effect. As '.he ladv drove on rejoicing 'someone le- uiarkcd: "HoW few people in the world reason down lo the ro^t of things, an I

t the same time carry In their heads the 'know how" that make the wheels go round."

Itis Just this lack of rca-.inln; Sown to the root of things that Is today cans, ing Intense suffering to thousands of women: and for this suffering to a great extent man is to blame.

Refined, intelligent, educated men, who have spent eight or ten of the best years of their lives in colleges, m dical schools and hopitals. cling to the false. ibiM-likr theory of doctoring the tire, as It were instead of curing the axle, or its "ho; box." They direct their ni- tration to Where they see the sparks flying. Instead of working upon the hid- den spot where the real trouble lles.j The consequence is. thy never acquire|

the "know how" which enables them to regulate the wheels of life.

When ihe -parks of pain fairly fly fiom a wimian's head, her liack, her! linil s, or the most Important and sen- sitive organs of her body, it is as sense- less lo resort to"locabapplications."pain cures, or s: implants, as II is to grease the tire, whip the horse, or drive on re. gardless.of consequences. These people try %> cure symplons instead of reasoning lo the root of things and-removing ihe cause of disorder. The re. suit is. physiclal patchwork and failure Instead of success.

The most conspiclous exception to this rule is the man who. nearly thirty years ago. proclaimed that he would not maite such mistakes, but would devote himself to reasoning to the root of disease and lo the discovery of a new prin- ciple for its treatment. Many thous- and letters or gratitude from former patients in all parts of America, have told this piiy.ician that he has boon successful even beyond his own expec tations. This man Is l)r: R V.

Marshal Bailey's regime at the police was fair. The price he paid for the Btattoo is completed. ,

Mayor Eaton diade a move to that effect at the meeting of the aldermen Monday night and the aldermen voted ananimously in confirming his action

There were no unnecessary words about the matter. The mayor* named Michael Murphy for marshal and the genial Captain Murphy was continued at once,

"1 nominate Joseph Kline Cor assistant marshal," said the mayor, and this nomination went through,.

"1 now name John J. Sullivan for reeond assistant," said the mayor, and this.went through like the first two.

The meeting was called to order iit 7.45 and lasted until after 11 o'clock. It was the longest meeting of the board tor sonic time and a vast amount of businens was waded through.

Geosge G. Ames, the former watch, man at the Jail, whose official conduct is under a cloud, has left the city.

Saturday evening he was seen to board the B.86 train for Boston, carrying three large and well filled satchels with him.

He was aceoftbd on Broadway by a well known citizen shortly before the train left.

"Where are you bound for. Ames?" uueried the ciiizcn. but tTie ex-Janitor was in too much of a hurry to reply, save to gi inn out an utiinMligible answer.

In the opinion of those who know whereof they speak. Ames has shook the dfist of Lawrence from his feet for good and will probably escai>e punishment for an alleged crime for which, other men have received ten years and even longer.

Flight is commonly considered equivalent to confession.

It has transpired that Ames was not discharged a week ago by the sheriff, but discharged himself. On Saturday, 5th instant, when Ames was charged bv Muter Herrick: of the nameless crime which he was accused by certain nrboners. he offered to agree to .m investigation, and it was mioposed that he would at lea->t remain ut the iail until Efie uut'«nwn~nf"-htK-gtrfH-oF-

said that one of the officials who has unheld Ames carried the clothing, etc., from the jail to the house where Amea was lying alck. Is this true? and who Is the official?

If ail the reports are true, the shocking state of affairs alleged at the Jail has - been going on for more than a year and complaints have been made again and again to ex-Sheriff Herrick and Turnkey Stillings, but matters have been allowed to drift as usual. Sheriff Herrick, no doubt, means well himself, but has arrived at an ago when he is easily duped by others.

County Commissioner Bishop months ago had been told by parties connected with the jail of the state of things there, and Mr. Bishop will not deny this.

An interesting witness who might be summoned In case of an investigation would be the Haverhlll alderman who nerved as clerk at the jail during a portion of his term of imprisonment.

Turnkey Stillings is understood to be the loudest of the jail officials in opposition to the proposed investigation. Stillings is not a veteran of the Grand Army. He Is said to have been a temporary resident of Canada during the troublous times of the civil war, when men were drafted to go to the front. It was merely a coincl- -deaee that-atilUiifis was in Canada when men were being drafted, aud tTjis" ; fact will probably excuse the harsh criticism that a man who claims to be an American, aud doesn't love his country enough to serve it In its hour n: need.

The textile school which Lawrence tried so hard to get was the subject of a discus ion at the stat» house, recmtly. ■

The committee on education gave a bearing recently on the petition of the trustees of the lvowcll Textile school that the state appropriate for the expenses of the school $100,000, 150.000 to he paid this year and $25,000 in each of the two succeeding years.-

A, (I. Cumnotk, Alvin S. Lyons, James T. Smith Frederick Lawton. Frederick S. Clark. Thomas Walsh and other trustees were present.

Things were going on very smoothly until Representative Bennett came in- to the room.

As soon'as he hnd a chance he said: "if the legislature gives $100,000 to

Lowell, what will nave to be done for New Bedford. Kail River, and Uw- rence? A million dollars would not. b» a tlron In ihe bucket, r-or. if you give to one school you must give to all.

Alderman O Brian thought that there was -malice in the alderman's motives. He said the partisans were trying to get hold fit the board. He held thut If. a "man Was able to be the chief magistrate of a city like ba-wrence. In was surely able to be the chairman 6i the water board. This was the cast of cX-M.avor Juttkins who is nowrhairi man Of the board. He did not beltfve that there was any so serious objection to the water hoard as the alderman froril ward one would make out. He thought that as ii was now con- stituted the 'board waft sure ,to he represented by both parties. He thought that the change that the alderman would make would put it directly into nolitics. A republican mayor would have the board republican and a democratic mayor would have the board democratic. It would be sure toMie nartisan that way.

Alderman Lynch said that if there was any corruption or needless expense in any department, there would be

Alderman King was positive that the board, as at i»esent. was in politics. He did not agree with Alderman O'Brien that Mayor Junkins was a fit man to be chairman of the water board. ,Ho oerslsted thut It should be abolish- ed. The water board should be sub- ie>t to the mayor. He said, "when men. who are graduates of the Mass- achusetts Institute of Technology recommended an engine last year, in connection with the high water service, the board voted to disregard the ad- vise of these men and pay $i:i,000 more for another make"

Alderman O'Brien. Our city alueer 'acted on the purchase of this oncine He recommended It

Aide-man Lymh. 1 move that the matter be laid 011 the table pending the investigation of the committee.

The motlou was carrcid. Alderman Kinii alone in the negative. —Aldexman King--was quite wrathy on th" matter and he ftfl1,'1 J15>_^wr^lhl sooner see the matter killed altogether than to have It meet with this reception. \ip sa;d lie wouldn't serve on the committee at any rate. , Alder man Lynch said it wafc only fair for Alderman King to serve." . IL.was also not more than right for the In- vestigation to be held, if only to do lustice to thr» water board. He would Insist on an investigation now.

Alderman King stated that he did not wish to make any insinuations against the water hoard. lie only charged that too much extravagance hud resulted.

Alderman Lynch still Instated on the investigation being held us there were some excellent citizens on the board.

It was voted to have Mayor Katon and Aldermen Bevington and King act with a committee from the council lo investiKute the- charges against -^c water board.

The reuort of the finance,committee whirh will be found in another eo'umn, was read

Before any action was taken. Aider. man Lvnch moved that a ballot be taken for city solicitor. This official is elected by concurrent action of Loth branches.

Votes (ast ...-. (! Necessarv for choice : 4 C. f. Bell 1 .r. r. s. Mahone) 4 .1. 1*. Kane 1 And Mr. Mnhoney was deviated el

i.- Led on the part of the board. Thi eo.. I will now have to act.

Ai .man King's action in regard to restr tine the construction of poles Hi on- streets was given its second rcadlr.::.

Alderman Lynch arose and .stated that he intended te have made motion to amenu Alderman O'Brien's motion in regard to compelling the street railway 10 open up- l*awreuce Water and Beacon* street lines,. He said that the railway had already been notified to attend to the matter and thev had *io promised but hnd failed to do so.

The mayor said that be hnd notified the management two or three times and this afternoon he told the officials that he wouldn't stand the delay much lonffer.

Aldermau Lynch''continued. "This road has 32 miles of track and it cleaned 110 chat '"much In three days but In two weeks, it has not been able to clean un these three little lines. They don't want to. that's all. All the reason thev built the Beacon street line was to keep out competition. They knew some other line would have to run up to Uiwell on that side of the river if thev didn't get the right. I would amend Alderman O'Brien's motion' so that it will read that they must clear Up these tracks within 18 hours. If thev don"? do it In that time, they know the result, They will have violated the terms of the franchise granted them, and it can- be taken awar. When they have a good thing they ought to know it."

Then, that being dlsi>osed df. the question el making out the various de- railment appropriations again arose. The ordinance referred to above! was elver. Its second reading, the rules were suspended ami it was passed tn be enrolled. The total Is tofiM'P.fit. The Intenst Is about |*0-.R§0.

Notice was ieeejye,d that concurrent action had been taken iu the election cf a sinking fund member In all cases excepting one. The council had not concurred in the- election: of B. F. Bolan, but bad elected A. N. Frost.

was voted to refer the gtreei kling order to the committee on

streets in concurrence. The order of Alderman King, in rela-

tion to having tU* chief of the fire dc pa it mem authorized, to oversee tin erection of -all poles iu the city's .-heels Avas referred -to-lhe.committee on fire department.

The order calling for a commission to consider the advisability of having a municipal lighting plant was nexi considered. Alderman Lynch thougln that us long as there was. a fiuuchi*' with the electric light company of im years longer.lt was too early to con side? the matter.

The mayor appointed, ,\hlcrmcn Mi- vIMc. Matthes and Lynch to serve oil the committee.

A number of expediency orders wetc adopted in concurrence.

The ordinance, which was originated In the council, and wTileh provided that the" -superintendent of streets should be elected in March and take his seat in April, was next considered.

Alderman Lynch moved to tinieiil the order so that he wool be elected in .lanuarv. but take.his seat In April as tile ordinance required.

A battle was again waged on 111 ■ - question between Aldermen Ly licit and King. Mr, King wanted fhe m diuaute passed as it stood at first.

Alderman Lynch said that them would' be too much clmnce for appli cams for the position to try to luaug unate themselves into favor with the council men. The order UK amentle-l was lost, by a vote of three to three Aldermen O'Brien nnd Bcrlngton voted with Alderman Lynch.

Mayor Katon said that he feared that by the ordinance a superintendent who knew that he hail no chance of re-ele.;- tltin would spend all the appropriation in rhe three months that he had to serve and then there would be nothing left for the new official when he came Into office.

Councilman Finn's ordinance m. re lotion to better protection in front of buildings from which snow is bring removed was thought to be impracti- cable and was louhl on the table In short order.

And then rhe meeting adjourned.

club rooms at l*awrencc. Friday eveu- Ing. in the inter-club tournament.

The Methuen Whist club met last weoek with Chas. B. Marble^ on Fast meet. It is rather* difficult to obtain facts eonremlns these parties. Some time ago the 'club look upon itself to ignore the press and resolutions were drawn up censuring the Dress. The dub did this for no good reason, it is believed, and Its ef- roits to prevent the papers obtaining the proceedings of the parties have met with much opposition hy local newspapermen. The latter have been assisted by members of the club who did not nnhold the plan adopted by the club. The writer was never officially informed that the club did not want anv mention of Its parties made, but he learned that considerable had been sp'd about endeavoring to "freeze out" the mess. The club went to work In the wrong way. it would seem. Had a mmiest been made to the writer to make no mention of the club's meet- Ines it would have been gladly grant-, ed. Perhaps the club did not wish to* stoon to-this, inn whatever Its, ideas were it should havp. considered that

i.iii play*' is expected in all walks of life.

A large econsrefta,tuyi .was present iHHuuda.v Morning's services at the Baptist chmch. U-v. Nathan-Bailey took for bis text John !l-t, subject, 'Ihe Works of God.'' In the even. Ins the church was filled, nearly every seat beltog occupied. Mr. Ilailey gave

he sei ohd sermon in ihe series on 'The Expansion ol Christ's Kingdom.' His subject was "India or Barriers Buni"d Away." The sermon was H- !u-ir;,fed wivii the Btereoptlcon. Pre- ceding the sermon .Mr. Bailey gave a ten minutes prelude on "The Baft Guard of the Ca.i'us." In part. Mr. Sallej said:

Wh'-ti i spoke at ilc league meet. lap one week ago tonight it was on Hi-' snur ot the moment without suf- ticient time for reflection, yet I would not change one wold uttered at that time. 1 pointed out to-you then that the Australian system of voting mukei- a <"i-taiii amount of preliminary work necessary before the caucus. * Tin

-name;j of ail candidates to be voted for must he printed on the ballot. True, you can write any name you wish In thv blank space that is left after each set of names. But. fmcces3 demands a system -tjtfs is true in politics as Tn everything else—and DO svsieni will run itself. Bo not understand me as criticising the present svstem. I believe that it is far in advance of ' anvthing wo have had heretofore. The adoption of the svstem made necessary the enactment of laws to protect the voter in the ex. ercise of his citizenship at the polls. Once thi' voter was.tho-prey of every cheap politician the moment ho came within sight of the polling place until he had deposited his ballot In the box Todav. the moment he steps withiD the nrecinet of the building the law throws about him its protection. No one can interfere with you; you are a free man. fiVc in the exercise of youi rlchts- as ■ up American cTfHen. You steu within the enclosure with no pry- ing eye seeking to know how you mark your ballot. The- law HaB thrown alKiut you its protection, its safeguard

In speaking of the machinery Mr. Bailev urged the necessity of good men combining for uggresslve political work. "This la your right, it is youi dutv. The time has come," said the speaker, "when we should look up a little different material for the filling of' public office. Young men, quick and energetic, should be brought forward to fill tti'e places, and up-to-date methods applied to public business. Public Office is the last place for fossilizat.ton."

This is consolation tor former Marshal Bailey:

It is no disparagement to his a dm in 1st ration to say that Mayor Baton will exjwet from his successor more than has Reen rendered in the past. Telegram. Il Marshal Bailey had not per-

formed the "splendid work"-wlth which Mayor Baton credits h'lni, the.Telegram might have pxplained his removal by nssprtlng that it was no disparagement to his ad. .uinihtiajipn to say that Mayor Baton would expert his successor ft) do better. This sort of damning praise Bailey gets for favoring the Telegram with choidfi items of po- liep nftWS. Tribune. tiratltu-le is a characteristic of some

politicians and most newspapers, but nothing surprises us that comes from tit" Quarter named.

Wait Awhile. it —

It BSSmS to us that in proposing at thi.-. time a strike of all the cotton operatives of New England, the labor leaders will be'biting off considerably more than (hey can mastieat". The cotton operatives have been grievously wronged. They have seen their wagni arbitrarily reduced at the request of a combination of mill owneiv. known as the Arkwiight dub, Mills like the Pacific, which are paying 10 per cent, dividends, and for whom there is no excuse for reducing wages, have joined this'unholy conspiracy to cheapen labor, 'The cotton oper&Uves have been unfairly treated by their onrpbayfis. Bui is the present the right tine for a general strike? The operatives are not fully organized -outdie of the machine primers, spinners and loom fixers, there is not a financially strong Oi-gaitiwticoh of any branch of the bBX- tae workers In this city. The weather is unseasonable, ton. for a strike. A 1'ahian policy, ii seems to us. would be the'besi for the cotton operatives to fotlow.to oiganise and wait,to watch develoiimetits in New Bedford and ps- slst the strikers in that ci'y, Later, when Ilie weather becomes pleasantsr, •a Mrike would n^>t work such hard. ships an now. and a vacation in the form of a. strike would he almoHt a

Nothing had been said about the box party and of course no one went prepared for the occasion invitation was^seni t< and KK members were assured a good Time If the BaHan to "go down Into their pockets." I'pon the arrival of the Methuen delegation the first question asked wiis "Where are vour boxes." No member of the partv knew what this meant until later in the evening. Ihe Installation and entertainment was all over before the Methuen visitors arrived and soon after entering the hall the nale of boxes benuii. Little attention was paid to the Vtajtors. the nallardvale members se- lectinc a corner of their own to in- ineet their boxes and devour ""the contents. To be stirs, there was some food left l)iit the Methuen members were not taking the leavings. Another disagreeable feature of the evening was the unpleasant remarks made by some of the Ballardvalc people present. The reception to the Methuen visitors was considered anything but agreeable.

.Havana, t>i» 24.—Sylvester Srovel telegraphs to the New York World that "there have been dist-overetl. 50 actual, positive physical proofs" that the Maine was Mown up.

"Against it are only a few theories mill supposition is."

"It seems absolutely certain that the iiimout utter annihilation of .the Maine ninnot possibly have been caused by Hie explosion in any manner of even 50 times the amount of powder now known to have exploded in the Maine's interior.

"The rear group of big and- little maaazines is intact.

"The heavy across-snip steel bulkhead between the two sets of boilers at this point Is practically entire.

"The only explosions in the Maine which could have broken her are much forward of this bulkhead. The big lO.lnch magazine—with AW service charges of 2550 pounds each, was 45 feet from It. Had its contents—or hair of them explode^, naval experts say the whole ship would have been pulverized.

"It could not have caused one-tenth of the damage done eveh In the 10- foot space between -the forward turret and the centre of the boilers mention ed.

•ongress to aid the work of the naval militia will be apportioned among the itates in ;. few days.

The city of Washington is now rv. warded as being well nigh secure'from attack from water. ' The defenses are I'onsidered mihVie'nt lo keep all .hos-j tije vessels beyond the range of gun- shot of the national capitol.

Movevev, the river has been blocked off and in pared for mines and terjH'- does at a point below the fortificatluin' mentioned, so that it is probable, some of the ships of an enemy would be blown out of the water before it would be necessary to use thegun.s at LU

The only exact Information received ■hy the navy department from Havana during the day was conveyed in Capt- ain Slgsbee's telegram.

Secretary Long immediately answer- ed Captain Slgsbec, npproving all of his recommendations. He directed Lieut. Walnwright, the executive off), cer of the Maine, inako arrangements with" the wreckers for the disinfection of everything sent to the United States. The recommendation that all bedding and clothing be abandoned, and If need he, given to the acclimated

"suggestion that useless llttings and equipment he destroyed, it being left to Captain Slgslien's judgment to de- termine how far this destruction should be carried on

To the captain's inquiry as to the saving of old metal and parts of tho superstructure, the answer was given that such material was of no use to the bureau of equipment.

The committee talked over the matter for upwards of nn hour In an In- formal manner and various plans were proposed for the best manner of procedure.

In opening the meeting Mayor Baton counselled the memtiers to procewl lu their deliberations in n perfectly Impartial manner. They should act un- prejudiced.

If after the Investigation everything Is found to'be all right, the report of the committee should be to* that effect and the members of the water hoard should be exonerated. It anything should he found to be wrong. It should be remlded. He said that It should be determined how to proceed and Just what matters shall be Investigated.

"Ihe alliance brings many opportunities to the women for doing good. Mrs. Peterson described the national alliance and the post office mission work.

"You shoubl attend the church services and apt devote your time to rt ail nig Sunday newspapt rs in search of tociety news or bargain sales.

Said committee may sit during the session of the General Court, and may send for persons and patters.

Mr Frederick said, when asked lu reeard to the order: The facts are these, th,at the state appropriation for the militia is $270,000 a year, and, in itddit on to that, they receive from the national Kovernment $12.0041 for equip- nwnts. Now, the fact of the matter is. that at the preaent time, in the bat- teiie«-'of this state, there is not one mbdetn gun or one gun that would be M iinv use if the troops were called into action. The best guns that the state possesses are guns that we used (Turing the civil war and afterwards discarded by the regular army as ob- solete. These guns are mounted on heavy, clumsy carriages lhat were con. damned more than 30 years ago. The tactics they are obliged to use are a mixture of modern and old tactics. 1 do uot expect ;'ii invsiigatlon that will take a great "nefft of TtmP or money.

Do. ran, a member ot the Paul Methuen boae eoiupany. The two tire com. panlea made it quich response to the alarm and their services proved very BftectiYk.

When .'• M- Nichols arose in the piorning shortly be fore six o'clock, there was no sign of any fire about the house. Mr. Nichols went down stair to look after the fire as is his cusum the first thing every morning. There was a moderate fire in the furnace which heats the house and before coming up stairs Mr. Nichols Opened one oi the fttlda* In the lower door. He returned up Stalin and in less than hair an hour he smelled smoke, lie looked around up stiiirs but could find no trace of fire ^Vinally he went to the Cellar door and upon opening the same be was almost Rttfied by a dense cloud Of smoke which burst through the open space.- Mr. Nichols seized a pall of ualny 4iin!

He courhl B ready demand for the wat»r, the floor;.' overhead being ablaze. Mr. Nichols gave the alarm of fire upon coining up stairs and soon his son Herbert B. Nlchole wan aw«isttivg In carrying palls- ful of water to the cellar and subduing the flames. In the meantime Thomas J. I>orau bad beard of the Are and hastened to pull in the alarm.

Upon the Mrival of the firemen the fire was buralng quite briskly on the souih side of- the houw. between t:ie clapboards and the Inside wall. it was a difflculi lire to get at, but it was not long befur* the firemen bad ex tinguished all the blaze that could n.\ found. Smoke poured out through a hole which had been cut through the roof, giving evidence that there waa still tiie in the partitions and the hand ehemJoala had tu be brought into service after it was thought that the ftra was nil out.

The fire. M is supposed; started from the furnace. Just how it originated is a mo'steiy. 'I be furnace did no- Beem to be overheated, but Mr. Xieholb expreafled hlmelf as being confident that -sonic part of the furnace caused the Are. After leaving the cellar the fire followed the furnace pipe up through a oloaat situated between the sitting room and partbr on the extreme sou til side-of the house. The fire burned some uf the woodwork and eojitinned up through the partitions in Hie rooftt

It is the height of folly to expect to keen 100 miles of city streets open to travel with the meagre appropriation of $:t0,0in proposed. Yesterday, with its disgraceful condition of the streets., was an example of what may be expected during! the remainder of the year, if the street department is Insufficiently provided with funds.

To reassure the timid, we-may state that theie is not much danger of Law Jfenec or Its suburb* being at the mercy-of a Spanish flotilla in case of war, if proper precautions are immediately taken. The Splcket is navigable for light draft .vessels for only a short distance above its mouth; while Glennie's soap factory, when the wind was at the proper angle, would prove an effectual barrier to torpedo boats or battleships ascending the Shawshine. Methtren and Andover are thus safe from attack from the water. As to Lawrence, Rafferty'a island, opposite the IVntucket house, offers the most favorable local ion for fortifications on the river, and It surprises us that the national government has not risen to thfl exigencies of the moment and stationed A mortar battery there. Ratter. tv's. better known as Kimball's. island should be Immediately placed In a state oi defence", and we suggest that Battery Che at once located there. Since the I ist fn shet, when Mi*.

Haverhill might, even IK; obliged lo go "dry-" for several hours, or until new supplies were taken to It bv the devious route of Ayer's village! The authorities should take time by the forelock and proceed to fortify Rafter. tv's island.

They kept the audience on the cml Vive from the moment that the curtain rose until the closing chorus iu the first i>art» L. A. Dane and W. H, Abbott, the otheojend men. were also very good and filled their parts In good shane. All the jokes were well gotten off and many of them simply look everyone by storm, l*oeal hits abounded and usually brought down the house.

The curtain rose ut 8 o'clock sharp on an outdoor scene. The stage was prcttilv decorated with pnims and other potted plants, while colured Japanese lanterns were hung above the part lei. pants, who were arrayed in summer apparel. The ladies taking part wore different, colored dresses, cut low neck, and the gentlemen in the chorus, sport- ed blazers and duck pants. First caiuc the circle behind which Ihe chorus was seated on two elevated tiers. The end men wore striped blue and white suits, made specially for the occasion i by Hums and Crowley, and presented a dazzling appearance to the spectators,

Bill Nye, in the person of Tommy Abbott, stepped forward with Uie.eqnlvaleut. at the same time announcing that the sum was not post office property. Again the orchestra began to. play and the end men entered, the chorus singing'Ail-" aeazam. Miss Miller rendered "Shut Yoali Eyes" very nicely and the end men worked in a few jokes. 'There'll Never be One Like You ' was sung by Harry Holt in a pleasing manner and a few more lokes were brought in by the end men. as they were between nearly all gongs. The end men sang "A Hot Time in the Old Town", assisted by the chorus.

The first end song was next heard, rendered by \V. H. Abbott. It was "1 ain't 'Ul'jjged to Stand No Nigger Foolin'." and it took well. Mr. Bar. croft sang "My Curse." and was obliged to resuond to an encore. lie has a delightful voice and always manages ta please.
