KELLEY AID LEAGUE.
Talks ON the Worlds Fair by Two Of
Ellsworth,s Fair


The entertainment last Saturday evening in
the Unitarian ves'ry under the auspices OF the
Woman's Kelley League, was well attended.
The object was to raise funds for the league,
and the attractions were DIR. Abby NJ. Fulton
and Mrs. Ann +. Greely-io hear them tell Of
what they saw and heard at the Worlds Fair.
The first exercise was banjo duet by Miss
Strickland of Bangor and Miss Mary F. Hop
kins Of this city. These ladies never fall to
please. and this occasion was no exception.
The league Is greatly indebted to them for
their assistance.
Mrs. Greely introduced DR.. Fulton rs one
well known TO the public for her interest In
phlanthropic work, and In everything pertain
Ing to the elevation of humanity, and especial
ly as one who was the originator and pro-
moter OF the Woman's Club In this city.
DIR. Fulton then gave a delightfully."- graphic
and interesting account of the orld's Fair.
and the congress of women which met In
Chicago during the first week OF the Fair to
discuss womsn's relations TO theology, politics,
science and art. The undivided attention Of
the audience. which she held for more than an
hour. was fitting tribute to the excellence Of
the address.
DR.. Fulton began by a few well-ehosen
words descriptive Of the noble women who
took part In the various discussions. and paid
high tribute to the Countess OF Aberdeen for
her philanthropIe work; to Mrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker for her fearless advocacy Of
the Sunday opening of the Fair for the benefit
Of the poor, and to Rev. Anna II. Shaw, W no
never fails to cap,iys,e her hearers.
The description OF the Woman's building
and It's exhibits, all the work of women, was
most interesting; she also informed the au-
dience that the design OF the building was the
work of woman, graduate of the Boston
school Of Technology. who was one OF several
competitors for the work. She then told OF
the Midway Plasance and many of It's novel
features; also OF the Ferris heel The adj
dress was warmly applsuded.
After Mrs. Fulton's address Miss Grace Joy
favored the audience with a vocal selection,
very sweet and delightfully."- rendered.
Mrs. A. F. Greedy gave brief descriptions OF
the Womsn's Dormitory. of the Adminis,ra-
ton building, and Of the Grand Basin. She
took advantage OF the occasion TO deny the
statements that have appeared In many papers
prejudicsl TO the great Fair. She said she
knew from experience that good board could
be had near the grounds for 81 day; tina,
the water was good could be found In
any city; that the weather was cool. and the
air at the Dormltory and on the fair grounds
Was pure, and that every evening, In the yiciu-
ity OF the lake, was cool enough for wraps.
Mrs. Greely's highly entertaining and instruct
I've remarks closed the entertainment.
The total receipts were about els. which,
considering the unfavorable weather, exceed
ed expectations. 1t. however, falls far short
OF the needs OF the league

KILLED By a TROLLEY WIRE.
A Boston Boy Who Met a Frightful DeatI
While at Play.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
A Soath Boston boy was killed last night as
the result Of taking hold of wire which some
idlers had thrown over a trolley wire near the
corner of e and 9th streets, South Boston. A
crowd of boys had been annoying passersby
by knocking of their hats with a piece Of fine
acoustic telephone wire, and wearying of this
they threw the wire over the trolley wires
afterward amusing themselves by striking the
swinging ends with a stick to make it sway
from side to eide. While this going on
William Sweeney, a thirteen-year-old boy, and
o companion. George Chapman came down Sth
street, and seeing the swinging wire. without
thought of danger, Sweeney into the street
and grasped the end nearest the ground The in.
slant his hands touched the wire he fell, hold
ing the powerfully charged wire in his
hands. The people were stricken with horror
at the sight and ali were afraid to touch the
boy to relieve him from the danger. from fear
of sharing like fate. A young man received
q slight shock while trying to pull him away
with door mat The wet. muddy ground
made such attempts extremely dangerous I'M
less great care was taken. At last a Young
man. John White, obtained a rubber boot from
one OF the crowd and with the leg grasped the
wire securely and pulled it from the boys
hands. Then the little fellow was drawn away
from the track and taken 10 n drug store. A
physician was speedily called to attend him.
but il was too late. and the boz was taken to
the home of his parents at III Sth street.
Some one gave alarm from box 121, and on
the arrival OF the fircmen the danger-deaiing
wire cut down.
Young sweeney wore pair % rubber boots
which If they had been whole would have saved
his life. His hands were terribly burned by
the current. and from the fact that several
minutes passed before he was pulled away from
the wire he must have been killed slowly and
net instantly. although he probably made
unconscious at the first shock. II is stated by
Mr.. Brown. an electrical expert for the West
End railway. that the current in that section at
that time less than $50 volts, and that tbs
boy must have been killed by the continued
passing 0! the electricity through the body in
TIE moments that elapsed before the wire was
pulled from his hands. Mr. Brown states also
tEat he himself has taken the same amount Oh
current and that the shock is not at first fatal

the contact wOuI prove fatal, on the sams

CONDITION OF THE SHIPS,
An VIII BE Ready for Service After Mino,
Repairs.

REPAIRS.
Estimates Of repairs necessary to the ships of
the naval review fleet at New York have been
completed at the Navy Department. Nearly all
the vessels will undergo some minor touching
up, but, with the exception Of the Charleston
and San Francisco, will all be ready for service
before July. The Baltimore will be sent to the
New York navy yard to have a new ice machine
put in and some minor repairs made to her
machinery, which may detain her there a month.
The Philadelphia is in thorough condition and
ready for immediate service. The Bennington
has been cruising for over year without
repairs and requires attention for few weeks
from the machinists. The Concord also needs
q little attention. but she can have all necessary
work completed in two weeks and again be
ready for long cruise. The Atlanta has been
IN southern waters for six months and requires
some repairs to her machinery. which Will be
effected at Norfolk. All OF these vessels how
ever, Will be in condition for sea in the next
month, and by June some of them will be
started off to foreign stations. The Chicago's
engines are IN the worst condition Of any of the
new ships, and she may have entire new set
placed in, which. if done. would lay her up at
some navy yard for q long time.
