THE LIGHTHOUSE AGAIN.

Before Senator McCandless made a
public charge against Superintendent
RowelI of building an unstable light
house at Diamond Head, he should, as
he had the power to do so, have called
for the data regarding its construction,
and it would have been furnished by
the Interior Department. Upon this
data he could have made his criticisms,
and have shown that Mr.. Rowell got
behind the lighthouse" just as the
Senator got behind it, when he furious
Iy charged the Government with a
waste of public money, in junketing
trips He chose, however, to make
slanderous attack, of the most unjus>
tifiable character, upon a public officer
and engineer. Having filled himself
up with key full of high and solemn
duty" he doesn't like the Advertiser,
when it also sucks through straw,
some of the same high and solmen
duty" and at once he starts off his lit
tie dog Star to worry and tear an old
pair of trousers thrown into the back
yard by the Kings Jester.
There is about as much danger OF the
lighthouse topping over, as there IS
that the iron dogs in the Waterhouse
premises on Nuuanu street will bite
passing travellers. If the Senator must
protect the people against the light
house, he must, for the same reason,
protect the people against those iron
dogs. Those dogs may bite. So may
the lighthouse tumble over.
Mathematical calculations show, re-
garding the force Of the wind pressure
on the lighthouse, that it would stand
in a hurricane that would roll the
dwelling house of Charles Peterson,
who keeps the lookout at Diamond
Head. over and over like band box.
We have again alluded to this sub
ject. because there has been a wanton, !
illnatured. and wicked attack upon a !
man who has by his economy, ingenul- !
ty and unappreciated devotion to his |
work, saved much money to the State. |
Attacks of this kind drive many men,
who would be honest public servants,
to robbing public treasures, on the
ground that public honesty is more
in breach of it, than in the
observance. Such attacks tend to keep
men who respect themselves out of
public offices.

Besides these excellent alternatives, it
SO contains those great anti bilious and

knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsa pariIla a
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.

DEcEITFUL APPEARANCES.
Too often the Clothes Make the Man,
Says Chaplain seares.

Yesterday afternoon at the Y. M. c.
A. service, Chaplain Searles of the An
burn IN. " prison spoke before a
large audience. He talked very inn
pressively upon the subject, 1.-THE mis-
placed switch" and brought out the
idea that if young men and women are
careful in what direction they start in
life, they will be sure of their landing
place Thus they would avoid many
disasters that naturally follow a wrong
ly chosen path. THE majority of peo-
pie" said the speaker. Judge by out
ward appearance. What an awful,
terrible looking set eff men it isl is an
expression used frequently by people
who visit the prisons; but let these
same prisoners be outside dressed in
different clothes and what a fine look
ing set of men would be the opinion
of these same people.
"This tendency to look only to the
outward appearance of people is a
great fallaey of the age. We punish
the effect and not the cause; conse-
quently, reform is not reform. Why
not eradicate the causes of crime? The
drunkard is punished, the rumseller
goes free
Mr.. Searles spoke last night at the
Lincoln Square Baptist Church, on
Prison life and he will also sneak
tonight at 7.45 o'clock at the same
church.

THIS EVENINGS MEETING.
City counciImen Have Plenty Of Food for
Discussion and oratoricaI Display

At this evenings meeting of the city
government several matters of import
ance will occupy the attention of the
members of both boards. The matter
of the final location of the Victoria
memorial fountain VIII provide food for
discussion and Councilman Ryan will
present his minority report and give his
reasons for dissenting from the report
of the committee on streets
Two petitions viii be received from
the city laborers, one asking for half
holiday on election day, in order to en-
able the men to have sufficient time to
vote, and the other that all city help
be paid during working hours. Two of
the departments, water and sewer
comply with this requirement now. In
the street department the men are paid
at the city stables after o'clock and
the men in this department say that
they are compelled to travel too far,
and consider the rule a waste of time.
1t is also probable that the opinion
of the city solicitor in regard to the
legality Of the bridge scheme reported
by Alderman Barrett, will be submit
ted and some further action taken in
the matter.

THE CITY.
Comedian Wilson Talks of
Worcester and His Work.

George w Wilson, the well known
comedian, who appears at Lothrop's
Opera House this week, arrived in Wor-
cester yesterday and registered at the
Bay State House. He was seen shortly
after his arrival by Spy reporter, and
talked in an interesting manner regard
ing the theatrical interests generally.
Few people who have followed the
footlights can fail to remember the jol-
ly jollier who was for more than 20
years favorite on the Boston stage,
and incidentally the greater part of the
time one of the leading lights of the
famous old time Boston Theatre stock
company. Worcester people can remem-
Der the work of Wilson for many years
back, and among the old school actors
he held a place of honor. OF Worces-
ter, the comedian himself has many in
teresting recollections, and he can we'll
remember the first time he appeared in
this city. This was back in the 70s,
when he played the leading part in a
show which at that time took Worces-
ter by storm, a clever little sketch
called Patience" Associated with
some of the stars of those days. the
comedian often visited Worcester, play
ing entertainments on many occasions
when the performers made a great eff
fort to catch the last train for Boston,
which left shortly after nine o'clock
The old comedian says that of all the
cities he has visited, none commands 2
greater desire for his visit than Wor-
cester, and he is delighted with what he
calls a most interesting feature of his
annual tour-the stay in Worcester
which he considers next to that which
he makes to his old home in Boston
When Mr.. Wilson first delighted Wor-
cester audience, it was while he was
with the Boston Theatre stock compa-
n.y. and on these visits he had asso-
ciated with him some of the best art
lists on the stage.
Vaudeville practices are resorted to
now" said Mr. Wilson, because many
of the old time stars find it impossi-
BILE to maintain their dignity and control
the old salaries. In combinations, they
get lower salaries, and they are en-
ployed to create parts, and then al
lowed to go, after theatrical managers
have no further use for them. Vaude-
Vile is adopted by many of the lead
ing stars because it does away with
much of the former drudgery, allows
the artist the opportunity to dictate
terms, and there will be no hard listed
stage manager to hustle things around.
In a great many ways, the footlight
people are free in vaudeville, and they
love freedom. The comedian says that
if he was capable, and if he was en-
dowed with good voice, he would be
glad to enter the field of vaudeville
himself.
Wilson made a touching reference to
Fanny Davenport, and also talked In
an interesting manner about several OF
the stage stars, past and present, with
whom he has been associated III his
work. The popularity of Wilson is al
ready manifest by the large advance
sale of tickets at Lothrop's and that
the old comedian will meet with rous~
ing reception is an assured fact.

OUR DUTIES.
DR.. Harris Sermon on Fam
lily, State and Church.

Dr. M. II. Harris of All Souls Church,
Woodland street, spoke last night on
Family, state and church" He used
for his text, LIST Thessalonians v:19.
and said: Home is or should be for
each soul having a home the very
centre of the world, the one spot to
which affection should most cling How
many there are who think they have
answered all demands when they have
had more or less regard to the mere
forms of family life; who seem to think
they have fulfilled all family obligations
when they have been what are called
good providers. While we should seek
to make our homes all our means will
allow in every outward adornment, the
thing we are to think Of most is the
spirit of love and unity in the heart
1t is blessing to live under any
good form of government Republican
institutions are the highest forms of so
cial organization. and to live under
such q government is to live in the eX-
ercise of the largest measure of per-
sonal freedom consistent with the
maintenance of public authority. 1t is
therefore to be charged with the might
lest responsibility in respect to all the
interests that such a. govern
ment is designed to serve. Have
we no duty with reference to
the condition in which the perpetuity
of institutions depend? Are we to have
no care as to the character of the men
for whom we vote or as to the means
by which they become candidates? Are
we to exercise no oversight with re-
spect to the expenditure of the money
realized from the taxes we pay? Are
we to feel no responsibility with refer
ence to the purity Of the ballot box or
as to the manner in which those elected
to office exercise their trusts? Being
citizens, let us undertand what good
citizenship involves, and as we love our
country and would protect our inter-
ests, let us be faithful to its substance.
THE church stands first for religion
as an element of character, and sec
| ond, for religion to be a public force.
| We are to treat the organized church
not as something which waits on aour
/ convenience, but as something primary
and pressing. If it is worth while to
have churches, has not the church
right to the paramount place in the
thoughts of us all? IF religion is not
all a lie, it is important for all of us
to be religious people,"

rallying committee to work in conjunc-
ton with the city committee. Mr., Israel

was the father and who was instru-
mental in its passage. A board of direc-

AN INTERESTING BOOK
At Least for Phi Gamma Delta Men, for
Its AIAbout Them.

At Least for Phi Gamma Delta Men, for
Its All About Them. -

original chapter at Washington and JEFF
ferson College in Pennsylvania. Com
plete lists of the members of all chap
tiers, with their present addresses, are
given and these are arranged so that
each appears three times, alphabet
cally, geographically and according to
the college which the man attended.

THE VACANCIES.
The Y. W. c. A. Managers Are Looking
for Two Good Executive Officers,

H0 - w. ~ - WdnaB6fS ARE Looking
for Two Good Executive Officers.
There is considerable speculation GO
ing on among the interested parties at
the Y. w. G. A. over the appointments
as matron and general secretary, made
necessary through the resignation of
| Miss Mary e. Chamberlain and Miss
| Sybil M. Gray. These designations have
been before the committee on vacancies
| for about a month now, and several
| candidates have already doomed UP for
the berth which Miss Gray vacates.
| There is already nothing but the most
| friendly competition being worked up
among the various candidates. and the
committee has a list Of thoroughly COM
| petent workers from which to make the
| selections The resignation of Miss
| Gray, which goes into effect on Novenl-
| Der 10, is handed in because the general
| secretary has q desire to further COM
plete her education in a Boston train
ing school, and that of the matron,
whose resignation will go into effect
week later, is made for the reason that
she does not care for the position long
er, and she has no definite plans ar
| ranged for the future.
Miss Chamberlain was seen for a
| short time yesterday by a Spy reporter,
and she said that the designations had
Detu DGlOIG lIlb COlHlIlllG6 lot SDIlle
time. Her own resignation as matron
was so worded that the committee had
no alternative but to accept it out
right; that of Miss Gray was in a de-
gree subject to q REFUSAL but both of
them were accepted, that of the general
secretary only after considerable coax
ing on the committees part to have her
remain. The matron was herself sorry
that Miss Gray was going to leave, and
she said that there would be a hard
time selecting one who could take the
place of the retiring general secretary
Miss Gray has been connected with
the local organization since it was
started in Worcester and her work
shows for itself, in the advancement
which had been made in every depart
ment of the work. Miss Chamberlain
connection with the union had been Of
a shorter period, but she has done some
valuable service in the work, and will
carry with her some valuable letters
from those with whom she has been
connected
