HEBREW RALLY.
James H. meIlen Appeared on the Scene
at the Last Moment.

JAMES n. MeHen appeared on the Scene
at the Last Moment.
3\The first and last rally of the He
brew Democratic Club, composed of the
followers of James n. Mellen, was held
at the Plymouth street synagogue last
evening. After two hours of able or
atory, James H. Mellen, the big"
speaker of the meeting, had failed to
arrive, and the chairman, Samuel Els
enberg, declared a recess that the dem
oeratic candidate for the general court
in ward 4 might have time to appear.
And still they waited, but no Jim.

Finally J. f. ]. Mellen first lieutenant,
appeared on the scene, >and at the close
Of the Father Mathew meeting. Mr.
Mellen himself appeared with three or
four Hebrew democratic scouts, with
writs of habeas corpus, and he was
greeted with applause. According to the
orthodox Hebrew custom. the speakers
gave their address with hats on
Samuel Eisenberg, the president of
the club, was i'll, and DR.. II. c. Kron-
berger presided in his place. The first
speaker was J. Il. Sullivan, ESQ, who
made an eloquent and scholarly ringing
campaign address, which was frequent

Mr.. Sullivan stated the reasons why
Mr.. Thayer should be elected to con
gress. No one in this country has a
hereditary right to any position. Con-
gresham Walker has held his position
ten years, and he has not stepped out,
even in favor of some member of his
own party. There are worthier men in
his own party-Frank P. Goulding and
Colonel w. S. b. Hopkins.

Stratus, in his speeches before the
Moulders' and Coremakers' unions. told
the grievances of the workmen in New
York, as The Spy has already printed.
and his statement that there was to be
y fight to the finish was hailed with
storms Of applause in both bodies.
The resolutions as adopted offer SYM
pathy to the men, condemn the cigars
among all union men and friends of
union men, and also promise financial
aid to the distressed kvorkmen.
At the regular session of the mould

The funeral of Miss Mary Eames was
held yesterday afternoon, at her late
home, in Greendale. at 2 o'clock, and
there were present large number of
friends. The services were in charge Of
Rev. William T. Sleeper, who spoke in
a touching manner in regard to the
work of the woman and the results
which had come from it.
The woman had always had a deep
interest in church and charitable work
and she was also particularly fond OF
the children. At the service yesterday
there were present in delegations rep
resentatives of church and social cir
cles, many neighbors and several little
children. Eight children who had
known the good old lady for some time,
rendered several of her favorite selec-
lions during the service.

"a TURKISH BATH"
A New Farce Comedy Makes Large
Number Of Friends at Lothrop's.

A New Farce Comedy Makes Large
Number Of Friends at Lothrop's.
"A Turkish Bath, a skit constructed
for laughing purposes only and which
lives up to the object Of its constructor,
made its initial bow before the usual
sized Lothrop audience last evening,
and was universally liked. There are
many bright lines and original situa-
lions In the piece, but after the skel-
eton Of plot is developed in the first
act the interest becomes concentrated
in the speeialties, which are numerous
varied and clever.
The leader of the company is Marie
Heath pretty ingenue. who wins dis
tinction as child impersonator. For
some reason, possibly because it was
not long since she was a child herself
Miss Heath is more successful than
her predecessors in the same line. Jes-
sic Coles German editions of popular
coon songs won great favor, as did
George AlaXandria's tenor ballads and
James Taggart's Irish speciality. Rich
ard German and Jerome Gee made most
of the fun in the comedy proper, and
Jack Burke was heartily greeted by
those who Were familiar with his
prowess in the fstic arena.
At tonight's performance Of "A TurG-
ish Bath. election returns will be read
from the stage.

NATURAL GAS.
The Longused Well Begins to Show Signs
of Exhaustion.

Natural Cas- which Donnelly and
Girard exploited through the country
for some dozen years, came to the Wor-
cester Theatre last night as revised
version which Edward Girard, of the
old firm, is presenting. Neither the
audience nor the company was as
large as in former years. but the house
was comfortably filed, and the alb
sentees from the stage were not missed
much.
Easily the first place in the new COM
pany is held by Amy Ames, as Kitty
Malone, the scrub woman. Miss Ames
Is irresistibly funny, and her work
though boisterous, showns not q sign Of
vulgarity. Edward CARVE fully makes
good Donnelly'S place in the role of the
nervy speculator, and Girard displays
his old time agility as the policeman,
and repeats his former speciality hits.
A plump and pleasing damsel named
Jessie Gardner sings a brace of ballads
daintily. These comprise what is cred
table on the program. The others are
of varying degrees in badness, from
Mollie Thompson, who was q singing
soubrette once, but whose voice now
sounds like a superannuated foghorn
with a leaky valve, down to Frank
O'Brien, who might have acted worse
though it is doubtful if any one else
could.
The Elks are fortunate in being as
sured of a crowded house for Sol Smith
Russelps appearance Wednesday
night. There are, however, many good
seats remaining for the matinee. and as
that performance will be identical IN
every respect with the one at night. the
management recommend every one who
can conveniently do so to take in Mr..
Russell in the afternoon.

MUST BEHAVE.
Firemen Accountable Off Duty as Well as
When On.


When On.
Article los Of the manual Of the Wor-
cester fire department states: "Oficers
and members while on leave will be
held accountable for their conduct
whether in uniform or not"
It would be we'll for few members
Of the department to understand this
article thoroughly, in order to obviate
a possible unp1easantness in the future.
OF late, the board or engineers has re-
ceived reports of a decidedly unsatis-
factory nature in connection witsf~I1e
conduct Of certain members of the de-
partment while off duty.
The alleged misdemeanor, which did
not come in the form Of a complaint,
consists in over-indulgence with the
flowing bowl by certain members, who
evidently consider when off duty they
are at liberty to conduct themselves as
they see fit.
AS the report did not come as a for
NAL complaint, no radical step will be
taken by the board at present, although
it would be well for certain ones to take
warning and govern themselves ac-
cordingly The petition which was
drawn up recently and signed by every
permanent man in the department, ask
ing for additional time off and conse-
Quently granted by the city govern
ment, embodies the statement that
members will answer all second and
third alarms, unless out of the CITY
when on leave.
The view taken by Chief Vaughn and
his associates on the board is that q
man should be in condition for duty in
a case of this sort, and that he certain
" is not If under the influence of liq-
uor.
Another thing to be taken into
consideration is that certain individuals
not only cause themselves unpleasant
ness, but they also cause a, stigma to
rest on their feHowmen in the depart
ment. Because a man attends to his
duties faithfully during the balance of
the month. it is no excuse for not keep
ing in condition to do duty, if neces-
sary, on his time off.
A large majority of the men in the
department who take pride in them
selves, do all in their power for toe
elevation Of the department but there
are black sheep in every fold, and if
proper warning is not needed positive
action is bound to follow.
