Boston, April 13.-John +. Welch, a
pupil in the Warren school, Charlestown,
was punished by his teacher, Miss Osgood,
on Friday morning, March 10, and died on
the nth. His mother on returning from
the funeral was told that her son had been
whipped, and the inquiries which she has
since made lead her to the belief that his
death WAS due to the punishment. Miss
Osgood denies that the boy was whipped
except by light blows with rattan over
the knuckles. An investigation will be
made.

a nest they will pounce down upon
the little mice ami claw and peck

are carried away 10 some neiEhbor-

upon the thorns.
The birds seldom eat the mice, but
kill them from sheer love OF excite

flutter about and chatter with them

s1EPHERISTOWN, ". FRIDAY FEBRUARY
Two Ideas of Happiness.

An old farmhouse, with meadows wide
And sweet with clover on each side;
A bright-eyed boy, who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about
And wishe his one thought all day:
"Oh, II could but fly away
From this dull spot. the world to see.
How happy, happy. happy,
How happy should be -
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking, all day long:
"Oh, could tread once more
The field path to the farmhouse door,
The old, green meadow could see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy l should be -

was may know where to find relief.
"When my son was seven years old he
began to complain of soreness in his right
leg. A white swelling soon appeared just
below the knee joint, and extended from
the knee to the ankle. At the same time
he was taken with an attack of fever,
which was broken up, but the leg became
very badly swollen, causing him great
suffering, and the muscles so contracted
that his leg was drawn up at right angles.
He was unable to walk, could not even
bear to be handled, and thought him

"After a time We had the swelling
lanced, midway between the knee and the
ankle, and it would discharge over a pint
of pus at times. decided to take him TO
Cincinnati to have the leg operated upon,

become so poor and weak that l thought I

After the Bali.

After the Ball, with Bob Gra- ham, is coming to the Opera-house next Monday evening, November 2. Of this play the Baltimore Sun says: Robert Graham is well pleased with the reception of his new play, After the Ball. He was quite anxious about it and was determined that the first trial of it in a large city should be made in Baltimore, his home. The reception it had on Mon- day night left no room for further doubt. The second act is particu- lally amusing and Mir. Graham plays his part throughout with proper restraint. In farees of this class it is difficult to avoid exaggeration. Rob- is a good general actor and shows in the duel scene that he has d serious vein which may some day be em- ployed to advantage. One of the best things he was accustomed to do years ago was the imitation of Hen " Irving, which many people thought superior, to Dixey's. He is tall and made up more accurately and it was less of a carricature. Then Bob's long association with Minnie Palmer will be remembered, when he was almost as much attrac- tion as the star And then came his General knickerboellel. in The Little Tycoon, which helped much thepop- ularity of that opera. The feryer with which he sang l Only Wanted One, was apparent. Miss Carrie Francis, the young woman who plays Violet does the part with grace and animation. She was for merly with Frohman's s company and is clever. i'll all she undertakes. Blen- ton Thorpe is an Englishman and this is his first season in America. Cearles Drake was formerly with Frohman and before that with Nat ' Goodwin Rose Beaudet is well known to Baitimoreard. having ire ! quently visited here with the Carle- 1 non and other comic opera compan- ies. She has played a long line oi parts on the operatic stage and is a capable artist.

PATRICK PRENDERGRAST
WILL BE ARRAlcNED FOR TRIAL NEXT
 MONDAY MORNING.
His Counsel Have Been Working Night and Day. but Are Hampered by
 Lack of Funds.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov 24-It has not yet been decided whether application for a change of venue will be made when Patrick Prendergrast, the as- sassin of Mayor Harrison is ar raigned for trial next Monday, all though voluminous papers to that end have been prepared, the ground advanced being that public sentiment is such in Cook county as to make it impossible to find an unpreiudiced panel Attornies R. A. Wade and Robert Essex, the latter of St. Joseph, Mo-, and who have been re- tained for the defense, have been working night and day preparing their case. They have been hampered i'll their efforts to bring witnesses from other points who can tes tify as to Prendergrast's mental conc ition i'll his boyhood days for lack of funds
 Both the mother and brother of the assassin being very poor. 1t is un. derstood that, although outside oi the Identification of the servant girl at the Harrison homestead, there is no absolute evidence against Prem
 dergrast except his own confession
 No effort will be made to argue the case on that line, but insanity and ilrcspensibility will be the only plea
