Inspection Of
Schools by
MEDICAL EXPERTS
Three More Suspects at
Woodland Street School.

No new cases of diphtheria among
the pupils of the grade l. of the Wood
land street school were reported yester-
day, but three children are being
watched closely lest their trouble
should develop into diphtheria. The
board of health hopes that the danger
is past, but it has not been definitely
decided that the school rooms will re-
open Monday
All of the eight pupils who are i'll are
reported as comfortable, and several
are convalescent. No deaths are ex-
pected, and it is hoped that the worst
is over.
There are at present some 20 cases of
the dread disease in the city altogether.
most of them scattered about among
the school children of different parts of
the city. When three, or even two
cases are found. in the same room, the
board of health takes a hand in the
matter; but a single case does not at
tract much attention, as the disease is
always more or less prevalent among
the children.
The board of health feels that there
should be daily medical inspection in
the schools. This plan has been adopt
ed generally in the large cities through
out the country, and has worked ad-
mirably. 1t practically does away with
the danger of an epidemic from any
contagious disease.
For two years the board Of health
has recommended, in it's an
nual report, that the system be
adopted here. 1t was estimated that a
start could be made for an additional
appropriation of $500, but the recon-
mendation was not adopted. Money
has been scarce this year, and depart
ments have been lucky if they secured
enough to meet regular needs, to say
nothing OF introducing new features.
By the medical inspection system, the
schools are visited by a physician eV-
cry morning. Every child that is all
ing or is suspected of being i'll,
| is carefully examined and sent home
or allowed to remain at the discretion
Of the examining physician.
A dozen physicians would be neces-
sary to do the work here, The ex-
pense would not be great. A compe-
tent man as supervisor and a corps of
assistants, presumably young doctors,
who would be willing to do the work
for experience and advertising, would
make an adequate force and do away
with the dangers of an epidemic of
any of the many dread diseases
which children are heir to, and the
| frightful consequences which are sure
| to follow

A NEW SIGNAL.
Car Accidents to be
Prevented Hereafter.

Millbury, Nov ia new system of
electrical mechanism is to be put in on
the Millbury division of the Worcester
and Suburban road in the near future.
By this new method it win be impossi-
BILE, except by negligence of the en-
ployees, for cars to run into each other.
When a car comes on to a switch or
leaves it a light is thrown on the next
switch, thus signaling the cars on that
switch that the car is coming. The
patent was gotten up by Frank Swee-
ney, but was not used until within the
past few weeks.

will be the same as at the first count.

the members of the city committee at
the suggestion of the state committee.
Mr.. Thayer does not feel uneasy about
the result in the least and argues that
by the use of the new counting ma
chimes there is less probability to make
an error than formerly. In regard to the
statement made by Congressman Wal
ker that he did not desire a recount,
MI Thayer says that he cannot account
Tor the action of the republican state
committee, unless they had been asked
by Mr.. Walker to proceed in the matter.
When Mr.. Walker was notified of the
recount, he declined to have anything
to do in the matter and even refused to
appoint an agent to appear for him on
that occasion. Mr.. Thayer will be pres

BELIEVES IN DODGE.
Correspondent Says He's Made Good
Mayor and Should Be Rewarded.
To the Editor of The Spy:

To the Editor of The Spy:
Those who have closely followed the
official course OF Mayor Dodge during
the past year with any degree of in
telligence and impartiality, whether
they opposed him at election or not,
will readily admit that he has in many
respects made irst-rate mayor; even
exceeding the expectations of mis-
friends and supporters. The appoint
ment of a license commission was be-
yond criticism, as also was that of
chief of police. Indeed the present
writer can not recall single instance
when the mayor, either in concurrence
with the council or in opposition to it,
was not guided purely and conscien-
tiously by a sense of official response
bility for the best interests of the city.
There has been no popular criticism
of his actions outside the press, and
there has been absolutely none in it.
But we hear rumors of opposition to
his reelection, There is a clique of
politicians located almost exclusively
within the boundaries of single Ward
in this city, exercising an unfortunate
influence in the republican party, de-
handing pledges and fayors from any
candidate they support. These men,
who would seems to have 4 supreme
contempt IOG honesty OF Justice,
are urging the adoption of Tanmany
Hall unsavory methods with the mu-
nicipal affairs of Worcester They speak
of broken pledges! Are they prepared
to invite the people into their conf
dence and explain just what the pledges
were? 1t is very safe to say they never
will.
The people of Worcester do not care
who does the trucking for the city, put
they will insist that no politician or
any one else will be paid a fancy or
excessive price to do it. The people
of Worcester expect that the personnel
of the license commission will be main
tanned at its present high standard.
Who wishes to see it prostituted by
active partisans to serve as a stirEu-
lus to promote decaying business af-
fairs or unsavory politics?
Mr. Dodge has thwarted the schemes
of these enemies of official and public
honesty. Now they are opposing him
bitterly. and propose to nominate
candidate of their own; one who VIII
cooperate with them in municipal cor
ruption. Mayor Dodge deserves the
moral support Of all good citizens. Give
it to him heartily. Let him under
stand that official courage and homes
ty are rewarded. Let him defy and ex-
pose all public plunderers, and give him
support and honor for it.

ROBUST MANHOOD
Strong Bodies and Vigorous Nerves
Always Make Successful Men.
DR.. Greene's Nervura Blood and Nerve REM
edy Insures the Greatest Power, Strength
and Vigor.

No such thing as failure in life is
possible in perfect manhood. 1t is lack
of vital force weakness and inactivity
of body and mind that strews the world
with human wreckage. Weak blood fails
to nourish the nerves and muscles. A
noticeable failure of strength ensues.
A feeling of exhaustion follows, which
the usual opportunities for rest do not
overcome. Sleeplessness is the next
symptom of a decadence, intensifying
the nervous arrangement that exists.
The stomaca becomes affected, as shown
in nervous dyspepsia, and the sufferers
begin to despair of recovery.

for the past ten years Worcester had
hardly been heard of in the state house
and in state conventions, and might
have been entirely forgotten had it not
been for Senator Hoar and Congress

his majority might have been smaller.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. NJ, RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave-, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter Encouragement. She
says:
" Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. / was so depressed in spirits
that ] did not wish to live, although /
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
. Indeed, I thought would lose NV
mind. No one knows what I endured.
l continued this way until the last
OF February, when saw in paper a
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinlxham's Vegeta-
bic Compound. determined to trv il.
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from nv
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
cine.'"

TROUBLESOME Brook.
Additional Testimony TO Show the Natural
Course of Its Waters.

W. D. johnson of Washington, D. c.,
a member of the United States geologi-
cal survey, testified yesterday before
the Kettle Brook commission, as to
making the part of the state topo-
graphical map showing the water shed
of Peter Brook and Kettle Brook.
He testified that he had been up and
looked the ground over recently and
that his original survey was correct.
He also introduced plans made this
week. showing the condition at the
point where it is claimed that Peter
Brook was divided, part Of it going to
Waite reservoir and part to Kent's
Pond. The trend of his testimony was
to show that the ancient course of
Peter Brook was down to Waite's reser-
voir, rather than to Kettle Brook near
Kent's Pond. He was subjected to d
rather long cross examination.
Captain w f. Hassam of the city en-
9ineering department testified as to
measurements taken of culverts on
Peter Brook and across Manville street

DIR. GREENE'S
Blood and Nerve Remedy
Makes
Strong, Vigorous, Robust
Men.

Dr.. Greene's Nervura is the only specific
for diseases and weaknesses of the blood
and nerves. Under its magic influence
physical exhaustion and mental depression
quickly disappear and exhilaration and
buoyancy mark the beginning of new
life with every indication OF happiness
and success.
Mr. John C. NIilroy, O. South First ST.,
Meriden, Conn, says;
81 suffered terribly from nervousness, headache,
lack of appetite and that tired feeling all the time
l tried Or. Greene's Nervura and found it was
just what wanted. I had fallen to los pounds,
Now l weigh little over Ios pounds. l have
always been considered about the strongest man in
town and in order to keep up my reputation in that
respect shall keep on using DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy"
IF in doubt, consult freely with Dr.
Greene, personally or by letter, at his
Office, "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass.,
valuable advice is given without charge.

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.

The question of the union of the Bel
mont and Summer street Congregation
al churches is thrown back to each
body, and if there is to be a joining of
forces one of the churches will have to
take the initiative and again arouse the
interest of the people to this end.
This was the general opinion arrived
at last night at meeting of the mem
bers of the two churches with the pres
ence of three representatives of the
City Missionary Society,"
The result is that another effort to
solve the status of these two bodies is
unavailing, and the consolidation and
choice of site are as far away as ever.
