THE ADOPTED PLANS GO.
County Commissioners Refuse to Reopen
Court House Competition.


Court House Competition.
Al the regular weekly meeting of the
county commissioners Tuesday. the
board formally voted not ito grant the
petition of Elbridge Boyden ct ais. for
a reopening Of the court house plan
competition. The board stood two mo"
and one Yes Chairman Stone and
Commissioner Cooke voting in the mega
tive and Commissioner Taft in the affir-
native. The progress upon the work of
preparing the plans has continued with
out interruption, and has not been af-
tected in the least by the petition Bids
for the work of construction will soon be
advertised for and then work will be
pushed with rapidity.
There has been some revival of the
former talk Of carrying the matter to
the legislature and having one Of the
Worcester delegation introduce a bill to
have the court house case taken entirely
from the hands Of the county commits
sioners and the appointment of an en-
tirely new commission From present
conditions those members of the Wor-
cester delegation who have interested
themselves in the case in the past have
expressed themselves in favor of the
adopted plans, and have so spoken with
out reserve. In another direction there
has been talk of seeking an injunction
from the courts, restraining the COMMITS
sioners from building the proposed
structure from the fact that the plans
call for the occupation of Court street
by the new building, Court street being
a public highway. This was the point
raised by Mr. Goulding in his argument,
and whether Mr.. Boydens friends will
go further and seek the intervention of
the courts in the way of an Injunction
will be determined without delay, as the
working plans, according to the adopted
design, are now ready, and any later
change would entail much cost and liti-
CATION for the county.
The commissioners, in their decision,
felt that Mr.. Boyden had made no case,
showing no valid reason why the COM
petition should be reopened, and they
could find no cause why they should
not continue in their course

AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
a Young Man Cuts His Throat Because
He Can't Get Work.

Michael Doolen, % years of age, at
tempted suicide by cutting his throat
at his home u Lowell court, Wednesday
morning, and now lies at the City Hos
pital in a very precarious condition.
The cause for the rash act was despon-
dency through inability to secure en-
ployment. His enforced idleness wor-
ried him, and for some time. according
to his friends, he has acted queerly,
and limited at suicide. Dooien is we'll
known among the plumbers of the city,
as for the past three years he has
worked for various firms in the capaci-
ty Of helper About three weeks ago his
employment with E. H. Reed ended,
and since then Doolen has been despon-
dent.
He lived with his mother and uncle
at u Lowell court and TUESDAY night at
supper he acted queerly. He expressed
a desire to sleep IN the upper part of
the house, although he had been in the
habit of sleeping with his uncle. About
o'clock Wednesday morning, the uncle
was awakened by noise in the kitchen,
and going into the room, found young
Doolen lying on the floor with his throat
severely gashed and bleeding frightful-
ly from the cuts. He was placed on a
bed, and a neighbor dispatched for City
Physician w. 7. Clark, who sent him
10 the City Hospital in the pelice ambu-
lance 1t was found that bis windpipe
was completely severed, but no large
vein or artery was cut. There is a slight
chance that he will recover. At no time
since arriving at the hospital has the
man lost consciousness He has ex-
pressed much remorse for mis- rash act.
The doctors think that he may not have
been entirely right in his mind

aances forbidding children under fif-
teen years of age from ''being on the
streets, alleys or public places" after
the hour of nine O'Clock p. m. from
April to October, or after eight O'Clock
for the other half of the year. 1t is
made unlawful for parents or guardi-
ans to allow or permit children under
their care to be ON the streets during
the prescribed hours, "unless there
exists reasonable necessity there
for" A fine mot exceeding $25' is
provided for parents who violate this
section. The police are authorized to
arrest and detain children found on
the streets at night, but not to i'm
prison them. Their parents are to be
notified, and are liable to a fine for
not thereafter keeping their children
within bounds.

A Shop of Criminal Bric-a- Brac.

Relics of great crimes in Paris,
France, are not placed in government
museum, nor are they retained within
the archives of the prefecture de po-
lice; they are exhibited for few days
and are then knocked down to the
highest bidder. Many Parisians and
foreigners, too, residing in Paris have
large collections of this bric-a-brac de
crime. The government shop in the
Rue de Ecoles, where the gruesome
objects are exposed for sale OCCASION
ally, has a curious lot or two to offer
to any would-be purchaser. Up to
the present, however, pieces of the
human anatomy have not figured in
the catalogue, but there was recently
offered for sale gentleman's ear in
an excellent state of preservation, as
the auctioneer remarked, owing to its
having been kept in spirits of wine.
The ear belonged to one NJ. Deloyer.
and was bitten off by an adversary in
the course of street row. D,loyer
recovered from the effects OF the in
Jury. The article was finally knocked
down for S1.25. A heavily muffied
man in the audience was supposed to
have been the original possessor OF the
ear. He continually managed to raise
the bid at a doubtful moment, Lut ha
vas not able to buy ir the article,

The report of the director Of physi-
cal training in public schools of
Washington has lately been published.
According to this report, the benei-
cial results of systematic daily exer-
else have been marked; but, as the
writer of the paper truly remarks, "It
is impossible to test the full measure
of success or failure of our efforts. 1t
is in the remote future, with school
days long past, that the lasting inhu-
ence of such work will be felt by the
individual child" However, one
thing seems certain, viz, that the in
PRODUCTION of physical training into
the public schools of America is step
in the right direction, and, if intelli-
gently carried out, should result in
producing stronger race mentally
and physically, thinks the Scientific
American. The fact should not be
forgotten though, that physical train
ing may be abused. Gymnastics
should not be permitted to take the
place of play, but rather the two
should go hand in hand. Medical

In her desire to bother American
exporters Germany has outdone her
self. It was all right for her to &C n.
denim the American cattle and Amerl-
can canned goods, because the spite
of such condemnation was expended
upon herself. Nobody believed her
to be self-supplying in these COM
modities. But trichin@ have been
discovered once too often. The
result is no less startling revela-
tion to the world than it must
be blow to innate Teutonio
pride. Trichina, Berlin officials
say, have been discovered in an
American sausage. This is impor-
tant if true, for it shows that Germany
is not self-supplying even in sau-
sages. The report of the British Off
cials will probably be refuted from
high authority. They will be told
that there are no American sausages
in Germany; hence triohine could not
have been found in them.

The recently published statement Of
the United States treasury department
as to the imports and exports OF
iron and steel and their manufactures
is very striking one. In round
numbers, the United States in 1880
imported $74, OO0, 900 worth of these
articles and exported less than S13,-
900, 900 worth. In the last fiscal year
these figures were exactly reversed.
The imports were little over $12,-
900, 900, the exports were about $75,-
600, 1000. When we consider the
marked fall in the prices of many vari-
eties of the manufactures of iron and
steel the change is more significant.
It is still more so when we recall the
very large increase in the population
of the United States. This in 1880
was little over so, 600, 600. By the
latest estimate of the bureau of sta
tistics it 10 now little less than 75,-
900, 900. 1t follows, therefore, that
in 1880, when we had to import $74,-
900, 900 worth of iron and steel and
their manufactures, we consumed not
only all our own product, but an av-
erage of $3.50 worth of imports In
1898 our own product not only sup
piled the needs Of population of
75, 600. 600. but enabled us to send
abroad an average per capita of 81
worth.

Shoes made in the United States
and imported into Germany have
gained so much in favor in certain
parts of Germany that official attempts
have been made to create prejudice
against their purchase by German cit.
liens. Consul General Mason, at
Frankfort, in recent communication
to the state department, sheds some
light on the character of this opposi-
ton. He furnishes translation OF
an article published in Leipsic pa

''The Prussian minister of commerce

German peasants are compelled to

According to the London Lancet,
the ever-prssent microbe has the best
of opportunities to attack the cyclst
who rides along dusty road with his
mouth open. Often after such ride
there are unpleasant sensations, and
the symptoms are described as feel
ing of dryness in the throat, followed
by it's sore and inhamed condition, and
frequently resulting in headache and
depression similar to that experienced
in poisoning cases. Road dust con-
tains numerous varieties of bacteria,
and among the more dangerous OF the
pathogenic microbes that have been
found and isolated are those of pus,
malignant 9dema, tetanus, tubercle,
and septicemia. The injurious effect
of these organisms would for the most
part be averted if the mouth were kept
closed and respiration confined to the
nose, as few of the microbes pass be-
yond the extreme end of the nasal
passage and consequently reach the
larynx or bronchial surfaces. In ad-
dition to breathing exclusively through
the nostrils, it is recommended that
after dusty ride or walk the nose
should be douched with a weak and
slightly warm solution of some harm
less antiseptic.
