1T CRUSHED CRisTY.

Since The Spy inaugurated its series
of daily scoops" in connection with its
crusade against criminal mismanage-
ment Of the street railway, there has
been weeping and crashing of teeth
among the brotherhood of banisters
benders and back-stair newsgatherers,
and they have gone so far as to assert
that The Spy is putting mortar in It's
mud pies.
The blow that crushed Cristy was the
exclusive publication in The Spy OF the
telegram sent Chairman Smith of the
Leicester selectmen by Chief Wade, in
response TO his call for assistance IN
investigating the accident MI. Smith
told The Spy s he told the Blair Memo
rial and other papers that he had re-
ceived a telegram from Chief Wade,
but declined to make it pubic. When
the telegram appeared in The spy the
next morning, the only Yenow's' al
legged accident expert, whose knowledge
of modern methods of news gathering
is evidently limited, al once set UP
the cry OF fake"
The facts are these: Chief Wade, in
response TO telephone call from The
Spy, instructed the manager of the To-
cal branch of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company 10 allow The Spy to
take q copy Of his telegram. This re-
quest was very courteous'y granted by
Manager Dunn, and the newspaper
readers Of Worcester had the pleasure

the negro is accorded better treatment
south of Mason and DiXon's line than
north of it,"
Gov. Chamberlain thinks the indus
trial outlook in the south most hope
full. THE south is bound to advanced
in both manufactures and commerce, "
he declared. Raw material is near at
hand there is plenty of power. Fac
tories are bound to spring up some day
in order to save the cost of transporta
ton of the raw material north and the
finished product back south again. The
main thing wanting has been capital
Northern capital has always gone west
rather than south. But that will not
continue forever. Now that relations
are so much improved between north
and south, both by the war and the
speeches of Mckinley Hoar and others
northern capital win probably be at
tracted south"
Gov. Chamberlain lectured last night
before the members of the Worcester
Club, on THE reconstruction of the
south" The address was the main
feature of Club smoker" and in ac-
cordance with the occasion was largely
informal. In talking about reconstruc-
ton, the speaker dwelt mostly upon his
own experiences as a carpet Dagger in
the south in the exciting days immedi-
ately following the surrender of Lee.
He traced the history of the recon-
struction movement, told of the heroic
efforts of the emissaries from the north
but held that the only complete recon
struction was this year, when soldiers
from the north and the south fought
shoulder to shoulder against a foreign
foe, one war healing the wounds caused
by the other. That only, he said was
the complete reconstruction of the ma
ton, and it is only this year that re-
construction can be said to be accom-
plished
Ex-Gov. Chamberlain is. a native Of
Worcester county. Born in West
Brookield, he was appointed federal
governor of the unreconstructed state
Immediately after the close of the war.
Several years ago he returned to his
old home in West Brookfeld where he
still lives.

NO CHOICE.
Unity Church Supply Com
mittee Won't Recommend.

Nearly year has elapsed and the
Church of the Unity is yet without
pastor. To cap the climax, the supply
committee viii make no report in the
way of recommendation to thee church
at their annual parish meeting this
evening.
inc main business of the meeting will
be the appropriations for the ensuing
year, and then if the meeting is not
adjourned, the supply committee will
epOrt upon it's work, but will certainly
make no recommendation to the parish
T. is .he custom 10 change the supply
committee each year, ana as a majority
# the present supply committee are
unwilling to serve another term, it is
probable that an entirely new board
will be selected, to see if they can find
candidate who appeals to the congre-
cation more successfully than has any
candidate brought forward by the pres
ent committee. The existing committee
comprises Benjamin w. Childs, chair
man, eX-Mayor A. b. r. Sprague, W
l.. Boyden, Horace Wyman, Franklin
b. White, Gen. lockwood Hoar, Mrs
James II. Wall, Miss M. Z. Lisconib.
The parish itself is all at sea in the
matter of selection, and all have their
Individual preferences as to the can
didates who have appeared, and more
candidates are yet to appear. Among
those who have preached as candi-
dates have been Rev. Theodore VIII
Jams of Boston, Rev C. A. Staples of
Walpole Rev. Charles Elder of Keene,
". H, Rev Wendell Wendte of Passa-
dena, Cal, who ofIiciated last Sunday,
and Rev. Robert Walsh of North
Broolfeld. The pastorate has been
vacant since Feb. 27 of the present
year, when Rev. Calvin Stebbins gave
his farewell.
Next Sunday the Rev. Stopford
Brooks will appear in the pulpit. Rev.
Mr.. Brooks is the son Of the famous
DR.. Brooks, and the members of the
church have been hoping that in him
they would find the ideal minister for
whom they have been looking, so that
much faith is pinned in the coming
candidate. He entered the ministry
when young, and has served his en-
tire ministry in one church in Boston,
from which he recently withdrew. The
other candidates have won friends in
the church, but there has been no
agreement upon any one divine. AS a
result, the procedure of calling candi-
dates will be continued for the coming
year, and a new supply committee will
be chosen to try it's hand at the helm
to see if it can steer the ship of the
church into some pastoral harbor
where all will feel satisfied

OF
Senator HOar
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Elk Gov. Chamberlain Be
fore Wog oester Club.

The recent enthusiastic reception of
senator Hoar irk South Carolina is
lothing short o astounding; it is al
most past beliefS' said D. H. Chamber
ain, formerly go vernon of South Carol
ma, at the Worcester Club last even
ng.
One thing, however, it shows con-
lusively, and that is that all war is
yer between THE north and south.
outh Carolina and Massachusetts, are
ow closer to each other than ever be-
IRE since the nation began.
1t is strange enough for any north
ner especially "a New Englander, to
1t the rousing reception in the south
have just heatd about. But how
UGH more remarkable is it in the case
man like Senator HOar, whose
onions are so pronounced and whose
-ews on all questions are so uncom-
Jromising. When you consider that the
state is dominate1 by Ben Tillman and
that hundreds 6f admirers of the
'pitdhfork oratof' are everywhere IA
be found in South Carolina, it is al
most inconceiYable that the populace
should with Zone accord rise up and
with unfeignled love and enthusiasm ac-
cord prinbely welcome to the man
whose father had been 40 years before
repelied FROM the shores of South Car
DINA when on an errand of mercy. and
who himsflf served in congress during
the clVil Var, and was both then and
later Opposed to the people of South
carolina on almost every important
political Question of the day.

the north by democrats to a republican
can only mean that the state which
was first. to secede and most savage in
its Efforts to tSNaak up the union, is
now heart and soul with the rest of
the nation, and that they seize every
opportunity to proclaim to the world
their loyalty AS to Senator Hoar per-
Sonally' they admire his honesty and
IKE and respect him as an adversary.
Coming on top of McKinley's entb1-
sslsstlc Reception, Senator Hoar's greet
ing is douby significant. The two
great republican leaders have evidently
by few happy speeches done more in

constru ctionists of the past thirty

coming year. They pledged themselves,
to support the nominee unanimously at
the meeting of the new common coun-
ell, Monday evening, so that the nomi-
nation last evening means that Coun-
Gilman White will be the next presi
dent of the common council.
Councilman Albert H. Inman was
nominated for the first member of the
finance committee, Councilman f. M.
Heath for the second and Councilm -
Fred w. Johnson, who presided at the
caucus, was chosen as the candidate of
the republicans on the board of trus-
tees of the City Hospital The choice
in each instance means an election. In
the finance committee and board of
hospital trustees the republicans left
a vacancy for the democrats.
Councilmen White and Inman were
the candidates for the presidency. The
vote was s to 4 in favor of Councilman
White. The entire majority repre-
sentation in the body was present, but
Councilman Wesley Merritt did not
reach the chamber in season to vote.
He was about three minutes late
Neither Councilman Inman nor White
voted, and one of those present put a
blank ballot in the box.
On the other selections there were
no contests.
After the meeting, members positive
ly affirmed that they had done nothing
toward selecting candidates for the
various official positions. Several said
repeatedly when questioned by The
Spy man that not a word had been said
in reference to any of the candidates
or the various offices they sought. One
went so far as to say that the frs
time the cSfce of city treasurer was
mentioned E5t evening in the common
council chamber, was when a news
paper man mentioned it.
The caucus was called for 8 o'clock
but it was several minutes after thu
hour when it was called. Councilmal
Merritt was present before the caucu
was called, but informed his associate
that his son was dangerously i'll and h
could not remain. He left, but hack
was dispatched for him just before tn
balloting was begun. He arrived to
late to vote, however.
There were no nominating speeches
All knew who the candidates were ar
the ballot was taken without discus
sion
Both candidates were certain of ele
ton. Councilman White displayed his
confidence in an unmistakable manner
He brought with him to the council
chamber box of cigars, which he dis
tributed after the vote was taken.
The councilmen did not give a par
ticle of consideration to the aldermen
who held caucus across the hallway.
They conducted their caucus as if the
aldermen never existed. Although the
members of the upper board plainly
intimated that they would have been
pleased by joint session or confer
ence with the councilmen, the latter
never mentioned the matter in their
caucus. They had determined to go
it alone and asked no advice from the
aldermen The latter did not volun-
teer any suggestion
