Monday, Timothy started out for the
purpose OF holding a small celebration,
and had acquired quite a cargo of alco-
holic stimulant, when he was held up by
Officers Ward and Streeter, who thought
in view of his condition it was best to
send him to police headquarters, Two
horse-shoes were found in his pockets,
among other articles, but they had evil

Brennan's good fortune was concerned
Tuesday morning Timothy was dis
charged without arraignment, as he had
mot been arrested within the year limit
and he was sent on his way with the
admonition to keep away from the
saloons. The previous nights experience
seemed to have had little effect, how

course continued till about o'clock

THE HIGH SCHOOLS.
Conference as to Their Crowded
Condition.
Some Figures as to Attendance from the
Southern and Eastern Sections
of the City.

The committee on education of the
city council and the committees on high
school and high school accommodations
of the school committee had confer
ence at the city hall Tuesday evening
relative to the vexed question of addi-
tional high school communications
which is just now attracting so much
attention. In addition to the members
Of the committees, there were present
superintendent Carroll, Principal Good
win of the classical high school, Princi-
pal Lewis of the English high school,
and Councilman Philip j. O'Connell
They were present to give the commit
tees any information that might be
asked for, and Councilman O'Connell
made plea for a new high school on
the east side of the city. setting forth
the reasons for such building substan-
TALLY as he did to the members Of the
common council when he introduced his
order for the conference of the commit
tees to consider the advisability of pur-
chasing a lot at the corner of Ward and
Vernon streets, or in that vicinity, as
site for new high school.
Messrs. Goodwin and Lewis told the
committees about the crowded condi-
ton Of their two buildings, and Superin-
tendent Carroll explained the plan that
had been arranged for accommodating
the first-year pupils of the high schools
next year, by distributing them among
some of the grammar schools.
In reply to a request from the commit
tee on education, Superintendent Car
roll sent in comparative table show
ing the attendance of pupils at the two
bioh cphOOIS from that GactiOn Of tho
city lying south of King street and west
Of the Boston and Albany Railroad, and
that section lying east and south of the
railroad. The tables were as follows:

EAST AND SOUTH on B. AND A. R. !:
Classical English

These figures were presented at the
request of the committee, which is anx-
ious to see just what the demand is for
new high school houses on the east side
and at the south end, but it should be
stated that in these figures there are
many pupils who live in the vicinity of
Canterbury street, east of the railroad,
who would naturally attend a high
school located on Gates or Freeland
street, in preference to attending one
over on the east side of the city.
The committee took no action in re
gard to the matter, but spent considera-
BILE time in discussing the various pro-
jects for lettering the accommodation
of the high school pupils.

A MIDNIGHT BANQUET.
zaho nyi to Serve seasonable Viands from
the Coast of Maine.


For many years the yacht cruise Of
the Midnights along the Maine coast was
an annual occurrence. The party was
not always composed of the same mem
bers, so that at one time and another it
is probable that so or more of the young
men of Worcester, some of them not now
so very young, have taken in the de-
lightful two weeks trip, whose chief OBJ
ject was to "read and rest and lay in
store of health. One of the objective
points of the trip was always Green's
Landing, Deer Island, where the boys
were entertained by Capt. w. S. Thur
low, a noted skipper of those parts.
Capt. Thurlow always had warm re-
gard for his Worcester visitors, and
since their annual visits have been dis
continued, has frequently shown interest
in their welfare.
On recent visit to this city, he prom
Used to send down some of the products
Of the neighborhood for the edification
Of the ,Midnights, and, sure enough,
there arrived in the city Tuesday bar
rel Of Kings Island Holsters and a bar
rel of saddleback clans. These will be
served by zahonyi as the chief features
Of a banquet at his place at Z o'clock
Friday evening.
The time is so short that it is impos-
sible to get formal notice to every
member of the old Midnight parties, so
this announcement Of the supper will be
taken as a personal invitation to attend
by every man who has ever been on a
Midnight cruise. All such will leave their
names with Holden & Earle by Thurs
day evening, so that the volunteer COM
mittee, which is standing guard over
Capt. Thurlow's gift, will know how
many mouths to provide for.

ALL SAINTS, TONIGHT.
Prospects of Large Meeting to Persuade
Or. vnton to Remain Here.

There seems no reason to doubt that
the meeting to be held at All Saints
Church at 7.30 o'clock, this evening
will be a noteworthy and conspicuous
expression Of the very great unwilling
ness of the parish to part with their
rector, Rev. DR.. Vinton, who has been
called to Detroit, and that it will be a
substantial pledge of that united and
continued support" which every pastor
knows is essential to the success of his
labors and TO the healthy growth of
his congregation. Obviously. what is
most desired is a strong expression on
the part Of the men, and, happily for
rector and people, there are indications
that this will not be lacking.

Mr.. Cleveland approved it. Mr.. Cooper has,
or did have, the pen with which the Presi-
dent signed the bill. All the Democrats
voting, except twelve, are on record in
favor Of taxation. The same may be said
of the Populists. The Serate amended Mr.
Cooper's bill so as to include gold, sill
yer or other coin on deposit and on hand"
Now many of the same men favor a bill
which will place s15O.OOO.ooO of property
where it cannot be taxed. In 1894 the
passage of Mr.. Cooper's bill was heralded
as a victory for Democratic principles, but
in 1888 it seems to be the correct thing to
relieve treasury notes and greenbacks from
taxation.

POLO NOW PLAYING SPY.
Pertinent Question Asked by a Cana
dian Government Organ.

TORONTO, Ontario, May 16.-The Globe
government organ), commenting editorial
ly on the stay of Senior Polo Bernabe in
Canada, says: with Canada's limited dip
lomatic experience there is feeling of hesi-
tation about pronouncing a positive opinion
as to the propriety of the continued stay
of the eX-minister in. Canada. But some
light may be thrown on the question by
asking what would have been thought in
Spain and throughout Europe If the Amer
lean miniser to SPAIN after receiving his
passports had remained in Portugal instead
of coming home. The proceeding would
have been regarded as very unusual and
would have occaSioned a good deal of COM
rent and inquiry, and probably a demand
for explanations. What the minister and
his staff is doing here is very easy ques-
ton to answer, and they can hardly COM
plain if the commonly accepted view is that
they must be here for the purpose of OBJ
tanning information that may be of use to
Spain"
1T is certainly not a time at which an i'm
portant official of the Spanish government
would be making a holiday. The suicide of
Downing and the evidence that he had been
Polo's party in Toronto are circumstances
that enhance the gravity of the situation
1t is possible that some of the stories are
exaggerated. but it must be apparent to our
Spanish visitors that there is no effective
means of setting such stories at rest as long
as they remain in this country We do not
want to be lacking in courtesy but we do
not desire that this country shall fail in it's
obligation to be neutral"
