heavy wagons up hill so that the hor-
ses could pull them off the lot. Mr.
Sells jumped into buggy, and riding
behind three mounted policemen, he
started the parade. Roman soldiers,
riders, elephants, wild beasts, bands
of music and hundreds of other things
followed him. The clowns were sur
rounded by mobs Of boys, and last
came the calliope.
A young man in his shirt sleeves
played on this machine almost con-
stantly. His favorite was, "Thcre II
Be Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night. The steam issuing from the
smoke stack made this tune very ap-
prol riate. Occasionally he turned
out that sweet ballad, "Mamie, Come
Kiss Your Honey Boy"
While The parade was being made
the ticket wagon was opened prepara-
tory to business. A big chair with a
thick leather cushion was placed in
the front entrance. Under the seat
Of the chair and fastened between the
legs, were number of little drawers.
That is the office of Colonel Lewis
Sells. He was there early, giving
directions.
II want to see Mr.. Sells said a
young man just before the performance
began.
MIR. Sells said he was that gentle
man and then the young man said:
"Will you pass the children of the
Orphans Home into the show?'
"No.' said Mr.. Sells, II can t do
that. We are here to do all the good
we can but we can do it all. l will

Have you any idea how many

told him no and he sent young man
over to the ticket wagon to get the
list. He came back with long string
of figures which, when footed up made
total of 100000 free passes in 28
weeks.
"Wc are prayed upon by all class
es,' said the big Snowman with a sigh
as he put the list in his pocket.
A young man jumped out Of the
ticket wagon with big basket full of
little scraps Of paper. He went over
to the fires at the cook tent.
"There," exclaimed Colonel Sells,
sslook at that; those are free passes
from the last town that he is going to
burn up. What do you think Of
that?'
An hour after the street parade
10000 people were seated under the
big canvas watching three rings and
an elevated stage.
One of the most popular men around
the show is Major Ray, the midget.
He has been with the Sells brothers
for years, and is well fixed financially.
The major is farmer when off the
road and has 200 acres near Caldwell,
Mo. He bosses big gang of men on
his place and makes good crops. The
only midget that the major enjoys the
society of is Mrs. Ray. His chum is
Colonel Cooper, the giant.
Two men that much depends upon
are Charles A. Davis and Frank 0.

Captain Winslow Lincoln Says Much of

Capt. Winsow Lincoln, who as brig

the 4th army corps, arrived in this city
from Albany this morning. coming

to Fernandina, where he stayed a
month, going from there to Huntsville,

has been in poor health several times
since leaving here, and expects to come
out of his present illness all right.
Capt Lincoln does not think the crit

the war with Spain well grounded, and
says that it arises more from igno

that the medicines were at all times

them in some cases. He thinks that
many of the men who were sick were
better cared for in the hospitals than
they would have been in their own
homes, and attributes much of the suf-
fering to the fact that the men did not
use discretion and did not take the right
care Of themselves.

For some time past there have been
persistent rumors ahoat to the effect
that the Springfield Envelope Company
Of Springfield would soon remove to
this city and consolidate with the w.
H. Hill Envelope Company of this city.
Inquiry in Springfield lends the color
of stability to the report, but in this
city it's authenticity is denied. Charles
~ Gray, the general manager of the
w. II. Hill company, when seen by a
Spy man, yesterday afternoon, said that
he had received no notice of any such
movement in a business way. He adj
mftted having heard the report Which
is current. but declared that so far as
he knew it had no foundation in facts.
He said that as the manager of the To-
cal concern he had not been approached
by the Springfield company, and in re-
Spouse to the query of The Spy's repre-
sentative as to whether the report
contained any truth, authorized the
following denial:

TO INCREASE CAPITAL.
Worcester Collateral Loan Company to Do
Large Business.

The Worcester Collateral Loan AS
ISOLATION, to which Worcester points
with pride for it's marked success since
its organization, has voted TO increase
its capital stock from sS5, 900 to $40, 600
This action was taken at a meeting OF
the directors held in the rooms of the
association in the State Mutual build
ing yesterday afternoon. The course
pursued had practically been recom-
mended at previous meeting, and the
volume of business done through the
office has been such as to insure sue
cess of greater magnitude from the in
crease in the working capital.
AS is well known, the association
was organized to aid small borrowers,
especially to those people who wished
to secure the loan of small sums, and
to these the association in its actual
operation has been godsend. It's ge-
NAL manager, Charles e. Burnham,
has augmented the usefulness of the
association. and it's present standing
is due in a large measure to his untir-
ing energy.

was arrested in this city few days
ago for stealing cloth from w. A. Ly-
tie & Co., was arraigned in the central
district court, yesterday morning, and

he was told the sentence would probab-
ly be long one, when he broke down
and wept bitterly.
Patrolman Blake was detailed to take
the man to Concord, but before leav-
ing the station house, Carter admitted
to Inspector Fisher that his trouble was
due to a mad infatuation for ore of the
women with the Ballet Girl company

THE BRAVE CHAPLAIN.
Second Massachusetts Men Try to Get
Rev. {. r. Fitzgerald East Again.

heH t. K. fitzgerald East again.
Local members of the I'd regiment
will be interested in the fact that an
attempt is being made to get Rev e.
r. Fitzgerald, the popular chaplain of
the 22d United States infantry, to come
east again.
Father Fitzgerald is now at Fort
Crook, New, where he went to join his
regiment after recovering from his III
ness at Montauk Although chaplain
of the 22d regiment, Father Fitzgerald
filled the position of chaplain of the
entire brigade, to which the second was
attached. His bravery, self-sacrifice
and Willingness to help the boys at all
times endeared him to them all. He
conducted the only religious service of
the I'd while in Cuba, and beside doing
active work in the hospitals, buried the
men killed at Ell Caney. 1t was while
getting water for the wounded at Ell
Caney that he had narrow escape
from death, a Spanish bullet tearing
through his clothes and INJECTING a
slight wound.

Fitzgerald, asking when 1t would be

was received, stating that it would be
impossible to come yet, and expressing
the pleasure 1t would give the chaplain
to meet his boys again.

Mountain Day Observed With Pleasure
BY the Tech Men

Mountain Day Observed With Pleasure
BY the Tech Men.
The mountain day at the Tech came
off at last yesterday and was a de-
! cided success. All the exercises at the
institute were suspended and nearly
every one of the students took advan-
tage of the day or at least part Of
it, in the way that it was intended it
should be used.
A party of about twenty Went to Mt.
Wachusett under the guidance of Pro-
fessor Reeve. They went by rail as
far as Princeton station and tramped
the rest of the way. There We're sever
al smaller parties who made the trip in
various ways to the mountain but the
principal way in which the day was
observed was by small groups of two
and three, who went out into the woods
lying near the city and roamed about,
gathered nuts and enjoyed a day of
general rusticity.
The weather of the morning was I'M
favorable for much tramping, as the
woods and fields We're very wet from
the previous nights rain, although the
sky was beautifully clear In the after
noon, however, things had dried up
pretty well, and the students were out
in full force.
The members of Sigma Alpha Ep-
silon to the number of about a score,
hired a barge and drove to Clinton,
where they inspected the water works
improvements, and were shown over
the ground by some of the Tech alum
nj, who are engineers there.
Pi Iota Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta
did not make any formal recognition
of the day, although all the members
of the chapter participated in bicy-
Gle race Of a number of miles in the
afternoon. 1t had been intended to have
a coaching party to some point Of in
terest in the vicinity of Worcester, but
it was found impossible to secure a
coach large enough for the number
who desired to go.
All things considered, the students
regard the new holiday as something
that they are very anxious to see made
permanent institution, as it proved
very popular this year. 1t affords a
very pleasant break in the monotony
of the long stretch from the beginning
of the year to the Christmas holidays
and coming as it does in the pleasant
est season of the year, makes some
thing to be looked forward to with a
great deal of anticipation.
