ToDAY's ARRANGEMENTS,
Details of the Parade, the Trip and the
Mastering Out

The arrangements made yesterday at
Springfield were as follows: They will
be changed. if necessity compels it:
The regiment will be modified at the
station as early in the morning as pos
sible. The companies from the east,
A, c, e, f and H, are expected to reach
Springfield at 1928, the companies from
the north, d, l and l., at S.26, and from
Adams at 933. The Springfield compa-
MES, B, G and X, win meet the other
companies at the station.
After the parade the regiment will
assemble at the armory and each COM
pany, as its turn for muster out comes,
will stand with the men in the order in
which they are enrolled As each mans
name is called by Lieut.. Col. Weaver,
the soldier will step five PAGES from the
ranks. Those who are unable to be
present will be answered for by the
captains or the adjutant and Will be
considered present as far as the mus
ter-out goes if they are properly ac-
counted for. Then the company will
receive discharge certificates, and pay
ment if Paymaster Sherman can get it
ready.
The route of the parade will be down
Main street to Court square for re-
view and then by way of Main street
to the armory, where the routine OF
muster-out will begin at once.
Some of the men may be paid off to-
day, but it is probable that the pay
master will have to visit the different
companies later on to pay them.

BEAUTIFUL NEEDLEWoRK
Shown by Miss Tapley at Her Austin
Street Honey.

Miss Ella NJ Tapley has been holding
her ANNUAL exhibition of fine needle
wok since Tuesday, at her home, 10
Austin street The sale continues
through this afternoon and evening.
Miss Tapleys work is well known for
its originality and beautiful quality of
workmanship, and the present collec-
ton of lace and embroidery is no ex-
ception
Several handsome centre pieces and
doylies in point lace and Venetian lace
are shown, the former being developed
from the fine braid, while the latter is
built up of stitches. Renaissance lace,
which has proved itself such favorite,
is also used by Miss Tapley with splen-
did effect. Twenty different stitches {
did effect, 20 stitches being employed in
one table cover. Among new designs is
pattern of holly berries, the spaces
being filed in with point stitches; two
sea weed patterns in which the silks
are matched from the delicate colors
of real sea weed; a chatting dish doyley
in which (Welsh) rabbits, shaded and
worked solid chase each other around
a twined wreath of clover leaves, and
two imported pillow tops of open can
vass work intended to be made up over
colored satin. A new style which is
also shown in very attractive form, is
the single pattern in one corner of a
doyley, with ribbon work simulated in
lace stitches, with the cloth cut away
beneath
The Peruvian style is also something
new and in its unshaded, heavy effects
is decorative, though not so distin-
guished as some of the other designs.

That's All That
Is New
ABOUT JOHN REED.
Theories Without Number,
But Only One Condition.

The newest thing in connection with
the Reed case, so far as the Worcester
end is concerned, was the receipt yes
terday by Chief of Police ]. M. Dren-
nan of a circular letter. bearing the
accompanying likeness of the conf
dence man, together with the an
nouncement that a reward of 5000 will
be paid for his apprehension, and the
following description.
John Reed, alias George Spencer,
alias John Greenhalge, alias Arthur
Greenhalge. Escaped from an officer
of the Massachusetts state prison, in
Worcester, Mass, Sunday, Oct. 81.

the escape from him. l still believe
him to be an honest man, AMI l be-
lieve Reed secured his liberty simply
by buncoing the officer"
One thing about which little is heard
and which may serve as an important
factor in locating the much wanted
man, is the whereabouts Of Mrs. Reed
Since the woman left Worcester moth
ing has been said about her, although
it is hardly reasonable to suppose that
she has been lost sight of altogether.
Meanwhile, whether he escaped on a
bicycle, in a team, on freight train
or walked out of town, Mr.. Reed is
keeping his address a profound secret.
He's gone, that's ALL"

DRANK MERCURY.
Miss Mcpherson Gradually Recovering
From Possible Attempt at Suicide.

Miss Evelyn Mcpherson, 10 years old,
of IS Vernon street, is in the city hos
pital, gradually recovering from the eff
fects of drinking a large dose of mer-
curry. Whether the girl drank the stuff
with suicidal intent or not, is not
stated, but is is known that she had az
mercury for several days and apparent
| ly realized its nature.
The only reason given for her action
is that she has been in i'll health and
that her mother reproved fler for some
thing during the forenoon, which she
brooded over until she lost control OF
her nerves and took the dose.
The girls mother says she went up
town early in the afternoon and on her
return found the girl vomiting. She told
her mother what she had done, and DR..
Mary v. OCallahan was called. When
it was learned what the girl had drank
she Immediately advised that she be
taken to the city hospital
Ehe police ambulance was called, and
the patient hurried to the hospital,
where the doctors worked over her for
some time before there coulS finally be
seen a change for the better. Last night
it was thought she was out of danger,
and all indications point to her speedy
recovery.

died. 1t will be a part of the wall to
be built about the college yard, and will
be placed at the south entrance. The
first feeling was that the names of
the heroes of 1898 would be inscribed
by the side of those of the civil war

APPEAL TO SENATOR boar.
State Federation of Labor Interested
in the EIGHT Hour Law.

The meeting of the Central Labor
Union, at ga Southbrdge street, last
evening, was largely attended. Jeffer-
son D. Pierce, president of the State
Federation of Labor, made a speech,
which showed that the union is by no
means dead.
The event which drew out of the
most argument was the appointment of
a committee to confer with Senator
George F. Hoar regarding an appeal
from the State Federation of Labor in
its efforts concerning the proposed
amendment to the eight-hour law The
committee. which includes President
Pierce and William H. Gardner, are
instructed to impress upon the senator
the necessity of more active assistance.
