Mr.. Pero Takes the Place of One Striker

The action of the striking moulders
who left their work a few days ago
in the shop of Prespey Pero, 20 Hermon
street, as the result of visit to this
city Of James r.. Valentine, represent
ative of President Fox of the National
Moulders' Union. has not dampened the
ardor in the least of the senior member
of that firm. He has donned the suit
of the workingman, and has started in
at the trade himself. The difficulty and
its outcome have not worried the man
ufacturer a particle, as he says that
he can get along all well and good and
will continue to run his own shop.
The outcome of the trouble in the shops
of William Allen & Son is still mat
ter of doubt. AS stated in The Spy n
few days ago, the grievances of both
sides have been plainly dated by each,
and the matter will soon be befora the
board, to which Mr.. Valentine will pre-
sent his report. Mr.. Valentine is ex-
-pected in Worcester some time today.
when 1t is thought that something def

disposal of the matter 1t is also be-

improvements In City Hall Grounds En-
croaoh on "Unexpended Balance"
There seems to be some dissatisfac-
ton among the members of the city
hall commission and the members of
the parks commission relative to the
tardy manner in which the work on the
city hall grounds is being done. Diff
ferent sets of men have been employed
variously about the building since ear
ly last spring, and yet there remains
much to be done before the work can
be called completed. This work has
been very costly as it has been done
by the day. 1t is claimed by some of
the members of the commission that
the appropriation has been exceeded by
about $1,000.
At the time of the dedication and
completion of the city hall, there re-
manned in the hands of the commission
about $4,000, which was left over from
was thought best to appropriate this
amount for finishing the grounds about
the building, and at that time it was
thought that this sum would be sufti-
Client. The result, however, is that
this sum has been used up,
$1,000 additional has been spent, and
there is work enough to do yet in the
line of finishing the grading to amount
to about $4,000 above the appropriation.
Beside the work on the grounds
about the city hall, there are number
Of new walks to be constructed on the
common at the rear of the building.
AS all the available money for the work
has been used up, it will be necessary
to charge the expense of these new
walks to the parks commission appro-
priation.

One of the Combatants Now in jail and
the Other is Free.

the Other is Free.
Avide Mooshian and Alexander Pet
tie, representatives of Armenia and
Turkey, respectively, revived the Ar
menian- Turkish war on small scale
early yesterday morning. During the
course of the pleasantries, Petite was
stabbed, and courier hurried to police
headquarters to apprise the authorities
of what was going on.
Sergt. Hill and Inspector ODay went
to the house, at rs Market street, where
the stabbing took place, and arrested
both participants Mooshian was
charged with assault and battery and
Petite with disturbing the peace.
According to what the officers could
learn of the trouble, the men were re-
turning from work early yesterday
morning, when they got into an argu-
ment. They finally agreed to settle
with natures weapons, each agreeing
to use fists only, American prize ring
rules to govern the contest.
Armenia was getting the worst of the
battle, when its representative pulled
knife and begun to slash. The first
thrust took effect in his adversarys
back, while a still more vicious lunge
for the vitals made a nasty wound un-
der Pettie's ribs.
Both were arraigned in the central
district court and told their stories to
Judge Utley, who sentenced Mooshian
to four months in the house of correc-
ton and ordered Petite discharged.
Daniel Martin was charged with
larceny of a barrel of -four from Mrs.
Ellen Shea, as was told in Thursdays
Spy. Martin was fined IS.
Edward Callahan, tourist who said
he belonged in Pennsylvania but came
east aboard freight train, was
charged with vagrancy. He looked the
ideal hobo and the judge ordered him
to the house of correction for 40 days.

Cornelius Cameron were sent to the
state farm; Mary Moynihan was sent
to the house of correction for six
months; Patrick Cahill was sent to the
house OF correction for four months;

MONEY POURING IN.
City Treasursr's Office Took in over
$4,000 Yesterday.

OioOIOOO yesterday.
Yesterday was another busy day with
the city treasurer, and the total re-
ceipts for taxes for the day footed up
to the munificent sum Of S152, 900, which
was more than twice the amount paid
in on Tuesday.
Thus far this week $685., 900 has been
paid to Assistant Treasurer White over
the desk. This does not include an
immense amount of mail, containing
checks which has been placed in the
vaults without being opened so that it
is impossible to state the exact amount
Of taxes paid. This mail contains
checks in payment for taxes, and ia
largely in excess of that received in
former years.
Payment Of taxes by check is by far
the most ideal method, as all trouble
of waiting in line on busy days and
confusion are avoided. The fact that
interest at the rate of 7 per cent is
being charged delinquents, does not
seem to have any effect on the tax
payer, and no complaints are heard in
this regard.

CAN'T FIND HER.
Teresa Horan's Disappearance More of a
Mystery Than Ever

N'JSNCiy 'h0h LNSfs
All the police have been able to learn
of the whereabouts of Teresa Koran,
the 17year-old girl who disappeared
from Columbia street few days
ago, is that her story of securing work
through a local employment ONCE. is
probably untrue. On the day Of her
disappearance the girl came home dur
ing the afternoon and told some chill
dren, who were the ones at home, that
she had secured employment through
one of the local agents, and her new
employer was waiting for her then.
She made few clothes into bundle
and went away
Inquiries by the police at the differ
ent employment Offices fail to develop
anything that will lead to a knowledge
of her whereabouts. None of the Offices
have such a girl on their books.
She is II years of age, wore a heavy
dark blue dress and a hat trimmed with
blue flowers.

to be good humored.
Jollity and exhuberant health are pro-
verbal combination. The hearty man who
is always laughing doesn t have any trouble
with his digestion. It has been said that
laughing makes people healthy. The truth
is that health makes people laugh.
1t is impossible to estimate the ire
mendous influence of health upon human
character. A man with headache will
not be in a happy contented frame of
mind A man who suffers from weak
stomach and an impaired digestion will sit
and grumble through the best meal ever
prepared A bilious man who is not
bore, is deserving of place in museum:
A nervous man who is not petulent aud
fault finding is a curiosity. All these con-
ditions lead to grave diseases, when the
victim becomes not only disagreeable, but
dependent as well, A wise wife will real
lie that while the old saying that mans
heart is in his stomach" Is not literally
true, it is fact that his stomach sweetens
or sours his character according as it is
healthy or unhealthy. DR.. Pierce's Golden

for the conditions described. It makes
the weak stomach strong, the impaired

THE CHINESE IN MANILA.


From the Boston Transcript.
The life Of the Chinaman in Manila
is not an enviaLle one at any time,
cordially hated as they are by Span
iards and natives alike, and it must be
particularly disagreeable just now,with
the city probably in a state of anarchy;
deprived of the protection usually sup
posed to be afforded them by the troops
and "Guardia Civil" and with the
added discomfort of Dewey's shells
dying about their ears and demolish-
ing their ships and "go-dOwns."
Forming as they do a very large pro-
portion Of the population, nearly equal
to that Of the natives themselves, and
having by their industry and business
ability sustained the fame of Manila
as a commercial port, they are a thorn
in the side of the Spanish mercantile
class; aside from the conventional dis
like extended by the latter toward all
foreigners. Being commercial by ma
ture, and having realized the good pol
icy Of keeping their word in business
matters, in contrast with the everlast-
ing proCrastinating and ''manana"- ling
of the Spaniards, they have built up a
large business with the English and
American houses, who infinitely prefer
to deal with them rather than with
the owners of the soil. Their thrifty
ways and tendency to save motley and
send it home to China rather than to
spend it whore they are is another
source Of grievance to the naughty
"Espanoles,"
Then their ability and willingness to
perform every kind Of manual labor,
from carpentering, shoemaking, etc, to
cOOlie-wOrk, from morning to night at
the lowest of wages, is a cause of en-
vious irritation to the indolent native
"Filipinos," and a constant feud is
ragged between the two races, which
has been handed down for generations.
In street fight, however, | have
noticed that the Filipino" is very apt
To come out ahead, although many Of
the coolies have the most superb mus
cular development which l have ever
seen.
Long ago according to history a
fleet of Chinese junks under the famous
pirate chief Li-ma-hong, bore down
on Manila with the intention Of cap
turing it and it's many treasures. The
little garrison i'm the fort defended il
with a gallantry such as Spanlards
can and will display when I'm despera-
tion; and Li-ma-hong possessing no
petroleum shells" ana a storm COM
ing up providentially, the fleet was in
gloriously defeated. Some Of the junks

his neck. They feel sorry for him and
surrounded him, and it ends by the
whole bunch sweeping out together
through the big gates.
Putting ones self in the place of the
fashioned Portuguese amateur, it
is easy to see that this Cowbell render
ing of Home, Sweet Home" is a poor
substitute for the jolly romn Of the
pCga 1t les a significant fact that the
most accomplished furCado in Portugal
at the time TO which these reminiscent
Ccs refer was an amateur, as was also
the best horseback bull fighter This
furcado was Dom Alexandra de Sousa
BOtelhOa younger brother of the Conde
de Villa Real. In spite of his ordinary
40 pounds or thercabOuts Of weight, h
was also considered the best Of the few
good steeploChase riders in the king
from behind. The CabO dos furcados

faircr and more morciful style of bull
lighting, have three times in history
beaten the Spanish invaders.

went ashore on the northern coast Of
the island, and there is today Curl
Gus race of so-called Chinese "Igor-
Otes," or savages, living in the fast
nesses Of the mountains, and supposed
to be descendants of the 5hip-wrecked
pirates. A certain day in January is
the anniversary of the fight, and on
that day hardly a Chinaman in Manila
dares show himself out of doors, for
every small boy, native CT Spanard,
feels in duty bound to "heave a rock"
at him.
Whenever there is a hig fire in the
town it is always presumed that the
Chinese have set it, and they are very
scarce in the streets While the rOnfla-
grafton lasts, for tact instructions
would seem to have been given on
these occasions to the effect that IF
you see a Chinaman, hit him"
Early in the spring of 1893 the Span
ish iron steamer san Juan called from
Hong Kong for Manila with a cargo
largely composed of kerosene, which
had been carefully slowed as near the
boilers as possible, and on deck, where
the some three hundred Chinese cool
les who composed the passenger list
could sit on the cases and knock en-
berS from their pipes against them.
1t is not surprising that the ship tool;
| fire just within sight of LuzOn, and
| the Spanish captain, with most of his
| officers, promptly took to the boats
and pulled for shore, leaving a ra =
| ing, fTCnzicd mass of Chinese shrieking
at them from the doomed vessel, for
no provision is made on these steamers
for the safety of the coolies in case Of
accident. In a few minutes the San
Juan was aflre from stem to stern. As
many as could climbed the masts
only to fall back suffocated into the
| blazing furnace below. Even the more
| merciful death Of drowning was de-
| MED them, for the sea was alive with
! sharks, attracted by the glare, swarm
| ing around the ship as macke"el swarm
| around a bucketful Of curry"
Thirty-siX hours later another
! steamer sighted the wreck and bore
! down to the rescue. Out of the Origi-
nal three hundred some eighty wretch
ed creatures were found alive Clnginq
to the big gangway which hung oven
/ the side and to the stern davits and
boat tackle, with the iron hull red hot

them. The rescuing boats had TO liter

INCIDENTS.-Durin or Immediately
following the institution of the supper
there were several important episodes,
recorded by other evangelists. Jesus pre-
dicted the dispersion of the apostles dur
ing the night. Peter protested his loyalty,
but Jesus declared that Satan desired to
have him Matt. XVI, 1850. On further
professions of stCadfastness, Jesus de-
clarcd that Peter would deny Him. Jesus
then delivered that immortal discourse
found in John xiv. Nv, and xvi. closing
with the prayer contained in chapter xviii
after which the company left the upper
room and withdrew to the Mount of
Olives.

Thousands have tried from time i'm
memorial to discover some eHCuClOus
remedy for wrinkles and other impcr-
fections of the complexion, but mono had
yet succeeded until the Misses Bell, the
now, famous complexion Specialists, of IS
tifth Avenue, New York city. offered
the public their wonderful Complexion
Tonic. The reason so many failed to
make this discovery before is plain be-
cause they have not followed the right
principle. Balms Creams, Lotions, etc,
never have tonic effect upon the skin,
hence the failures.
Tho Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most cXhilaratinE effect upon the Cuti-
Gle, absorbing and carrying off all i'm
purities which the blood by its natural
action IS constantly forcing to the sur
face of the skin. 1t is to the skin what q
VitaliZing tonic Is to the blood and nerves,
a kind of new life that Immediately cX-
hiarates and strengthens wherever ap-
piled. Its tonic effect is felt almost i'm
mediately, ana it speedily banishcs, for
