Barrymorc's Dilemma.

Maurice Barrymore was once in

been decided that he was to play
the leading role. About a week
after it was supposed to have been
definitely settled Barry received a
note from the manager asking him
to call. Barrymore called, and the
manager said: II like the piece, old

The New Landmarks of Boston.

In these days of progress even Boston
with its renowned ancient landmarks is
making a new era for itself in every line.
We will never forget the history connect
ed with the building of Bunker Hill Mon
ument. and while every generation will
visit and perhaps climb this memorable
shaft, likewise the people for years to
come will pay tribute to that marvellous
and time saving institution, the subway.
This enterprise is one of which much has
been written, but read of it time and again
and you can form but vague idea OF its
magnitude, nor the convenience which
the public derives from it. Boston's old
buildings stood foremost as structures of
architectural beauty, but its Goth century
buildings and structures like Trinity, the
New Old South. the Public Library and
the Ames and fremont buildings and a
score of lofty sky Scrapels, so called,
stand as gigantic mOnumeI IS perpetuat-
inc the present century as one of adj
vanCement. Likewise remember tive
barn-like and uncomfortable playhOuses
and compare them with the palatial and
comfortable theatres Of today, and in
theatres Boston has no equal. The mill
ion and half playhouse OF keith's S
magnificent in every detail, and the en-
tertainment is the best money can pro-
vide. One of BOstOns most famous edu-
cational institutions is the Food cFair
which is in session at Mechanics Build
ing; here is to be found everything per.
tanning to food products, their manutac-
ture and uses. Besides the elaborate
and pleasing displays of foods their is con-
nected with the exhibition household
institute, and the knowledge to be gained
from attendance upon it can hardly be
estimated.
Following a custom adopted some years
ago the Boston and Maine railroad has
arranged for low rate fall excursions to
Boston from all points of the system.
limits mi F"' on the tickets are of of sufficient
length to allow patrons to participate in
the pleasures and enjoyments as only
Boston can offer. There will be an eX-
cursion on October 23d, from stations
Newbury to Olcott inclusive. Inquire
of ticket agent for bills and information.

THE MAN WHO is NOT NEEDED.

I'm sixty years of age today,
And / have worked and shaved,
And some one else shall presently
Get all that l have saved.
But it is not
The simple thought
OF going that | deplore.
IT'S this-when l
In the cold earth lie
They'll think of me no more.
I've labored on from day to day
g. With one hope in my mind.
Twas that when l was laid away
I'd leave void behind
Something, you know,
To always show
That l had lived and wrought.
But now at last
That dream is past
I've got to share the common lot.
I've thrown a fever off today
And risen from my bed.
For months I've been but helpless clay,
With wild thoughts in my head.
I'd fondly thought
The mill would not
Run if were not there to see,
But it's kept right on,
Though I've been gone,
And that's the thing that saddens me.

A novelty this week has been the visit
of Troop F, United States cavalry. This
band of trained men, after nine weeks
campaign in different states. and al vari-
Gus fairs. where it has rivalled as an at
traction the biggest pumpkins and the
trained steers is now on its way back tc
its barracks at Fort Ethan Allen. They
came to the city and departed in service
uniforms and looked so businesslike that
admiration was general. Their exhibit
ton drill and trick riding pleased a
crowd at Franklin park, but the fact the
men gave evidence of being true soldiers
was most pleasing of all. The contrast
between Troop f and some of our volun-
teer organizations was so marked as to
be Instructive.

SCHOOL 67 IN BROOKLYN.
It may no wiped Out To-Day with Principal
and Tencherr.

II tho Brooklyn Board of Education. at its
meeting to-day, adopts tho report OF the Joint
committee OF tho teachers and local commit
tees, Colored School No. 81 will be virtually
wiped out Of existence and not only Principal
Charles S. Dorsey, but all the teachers will be
dropped. The report recommends the reorgani-
zation OF the school by making 1t n primary
branch Of No. g. The statistics OF the school show
steady decline In attendance for the past year
and a half and the failure of q single pupil to
reach the graduating grade.
The proposed decapitntion of Prof. Dorsey,
after service OF nearly thirty years AS a
teacher, has aroused considerable Indignation
among the people OF his race. and several meet
inRs have been held to protest against II. The
action of Samuel r. Scottron. the single colored
member in the Bonrd Of Education. in starting
the movement against School No. 67 has also
been severely criticised, and it has been init
mated that there were some personal motives
behind his antagonism TO Prof. Dorsey.
That Prof. Dorsey evidently suspects such mo-
tircs has been made clear through his making
Mr.. Scottron the defendant in a suit for alleged
slander. There may be a lively discussion in the
Board OF Education to-day when the affairs OF
the school arc overhaulcd.

RiIl tho Committee Vacancies.

wAsHINaToN, April 5.-Having side-trackod
tho arbitration treaty for few days In order TO
juggle tho list OF pairs and got enough votes for
ratification, II such n thing is possible, tho Ro-
publicans OF tho Senate have turned again to
political matters. Tomorrow the Committee
on Committees will meet again to make ono
last desperate effort to I'LL tho vacant places
on the standing committees in order that
they can control legislation. So long
as tho vacancies exist from Oregon
and Kentucky tao Republicans will not
have enough votes to meet the combined oppo-
sition OF the Democrats and Populists, but 1t is
thought that an amicablo arrangement can bo
made by which at least the Republican vacan-
cies may be filled. There are several commit
tees that arc crippled by tho expiration OF the
terms of q sufficient number of M embers to pre-
vent either side from having quorum. and 1t ts
only by unanimous consent that the business
from this class of committees can DO received
und disposed OF.
So far there has been no serious opposition to
the confirmation OF any of President Mckinley's
nominees, and they have been favorably acted
upon, but only under the unanimous consent
down with a mass OF proposed legislation, much
Of which could be considered now as well ns

ITALY's NEW PARLIAMENT.
The King and Queen Cheered by Its Member
but Ignored by the People.

ROME. April 5.-The new Italian Parliament
was opened this morning by tho King in person.
Queen Margherta was also present. and 400
Deputies and 100 Senators were in attendance.
but the Republican and Socialist Deputies were
absent.
The speech from the throne announced the In
stitution of a number OF social and political re-
forms. and declared that the Government was in
full accord with all tho other European powers
In n determination to maintain the peace of Eu-
rope. The political programme as outlined by
the speech was received very coldly, but the ref
erence to the efficiency OF the army and navy
was loudly applauded.
The speech from the throne declared further
that current events in the Mediterranean and
the increase in the emigration from Italy i'm
posed upon the country the duty of strengthen
Ing its navy.
An increase in the naval power of the king;
dom was favored by the equilibrium which had
had now been attained. Tho balance in tho re-
ceipts and expenditures OF the Government
marked the close OF tho era of sacrifices.
The speech forecasted n revision of taxation
and an attempt to honestly repair the credit OF
the country.
The King and Queen were cheered by the SEN
ators and Deputies. but tho populaco viewed the
royal procession to and from the Chambers with
indifference.

COMFORTING THE PRELATES
They Are Summoned from All Parts OF Canada
TO Meet the Pnpai AbIeEate.

MONTREAL, April J.-Mgr. Merry Del Val. the
Papal Ablegn:e, has sent out summons to every
Archbishop and Bishop in Canada to be present
at the episcopal palace in this city on Thursday.
April g. The summons is imperative and the
calling OF general council shows that the mat
tiers for consideration do not affect the province
OF Quebec alone. but the whole OF Canada. The
Government at Ottawa has been endeavoring
to make it appear that when the Ablegate came
TO understand that the Manitoba school ques-
tion Is settled he would contnc his inquiries and
decisions to discipining the Bishops OF Quebec
for coercive interference in parliamentary cleo
tions. But the calling in OF the prelates from
the Atlantic 10 the Pacific on such short notice
is a plain indication that the Manitoba school
question only has brought the ALLOCATE to Cam
ada and that whatever policy he means to adopt
will have the weight OF The whole Catholic opin-
ion OF the Dominion behind il.

BUSINESS POOLING BILL.
Senator Chandler Proposes to Give business
Men tho Same Privileges ms Railroada.


Men tho Same Privileges ns Railroads.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-In tho Senate to-day
Mr.. Chandler offered q bill regulating trado and
commerce. which he said ho might offer as an
amendment to the Railroad Pooling bill intro
duced by Mr. Foraker last week. The proposed
substitute provides that it shall be unlawful for
different and competing merchants, manufac-
turers, and other producers of commodities
which are or which may be the subjects of inter-
state commerce to enter into any agreement,
contract, or arrangement for tho division and
apportionment among themselves or with others
in like business OF the whole or any portion Of
their business, earnings &c. or for the limitation
or restriction of any production, fixing the price
of any commodity, the maintenance of such
prices, &c. Each day OF the continuance OF such
agreement Is made n separate offence, but II is
provided that such arrangements may be mado
and be lawful under the conditions prescribed.
The conditions which follow are identical with
those formulated for tho railroads in the Pooling
bill relative to the fixing Of tariffs their submis-
sion to the Interstate Commerce Commission, sc.
Mr.. Chandler has only changed the text of tho
Pooling bill where IL was necessary to substi-
tute the business with which his substitute
deals for the railroad business mentioned in Mr..
Foraker's bill. Discussing his measure. Mr..
Chandler said he saw no reason why business
men OF all kinds should not have the same OPP
portunity to pool their issues MS has been offered
TO the railroads in the various bills that have
been introduced in Congress.
