STUDENTS AT THE DREAD.
Two of the Graduates and Their interest
ing Careers.

The recent purchase of the Dread by
Henry D. Perky has put the older por-
ton of Worcester's inhabitants in a
reminiscent mood, and every hour
since the announcement of the transfer
has brought to the mind of these older
residents of the city store of fact or
anecdote connected with the earlier
history of this far-famed school for
girls. For years 1t was the school Of
highest education for girls in this por-
ton Of New England, and it's students
came from every section of the coun-
try.
Among others whose names were
borne upon the rolls of the school some
50 years ago were those of two sisters
from Cleveland, Ohio, named respect
lively Laura G. and Lucy M. Spellman
After their graduation from the Dread
both sisters returned to Cleveland
which city has remained to this day
their home
The first named became the wife Of
John d. Rockefeller, president Of the
Standard Oil Company, and her earnest
and valued work in religious, educa-
tional and charitable fields has made
her personally known throughout the
country
The second of the sisters has been
scarcely less active in religious and
philanthropic work than Mrs Rookie
Teller, and she, likewise, has become
widely known for her personal help and
interest in church affairs.
When students at the Dread the sis
ters made various acquaintance in
Worcester, and among these were Mr..
and Mrs. William H. Dexter of Charl-
ton street, and the acquaintanceship
then formed has been maintained to
this day

was complete success in every way.

years or more, and living again in the
days Of powder and patches. The
stately danes and damsels in quaint
gowns and corkscrew curls fit to per-

and ancient furniture. 1t would have
been almost like dream had it not
been for the very real doughnuts and
cookies, sweet cider and tea served by
Mrs. /. c. Bates and Mrs. Nathaniel

Some of the gowns worn were of
more interest than that given by their
age. From point OF local interest
the wedding gown worn once by the
wife of Judge Nathaniel Paine, grand
mother of Nathaniel Paine, comes
hrst. One young lady was dressed in
a handsome gown of embroidered silk

OUT OF THEIR LINE.
But Firemsn subdusd the Flames by the
Use of Sand.

OSo OF 0anQ.
A flame that neither water nor chem
icals affected, and which was finally
subdued by throwing sand upon it, was
what the firemen had to contend with
yesterday morning
The location of the fire was in a
small store house at the rear of the
David Cummings shoe factory, 60 King
street. The building is used as a store
house for rubber cement, a substance
containing a considerable amount OF
naphtha-
Just how the fire started is a mys-
terry, but a theory not altogether i'm
probable is that barrel was left open
by one Of the workmen The fumes of
the naphtha. beat down to the ground
by the heavy moisture in the atmos-
phere, ran along until IT communicate
ed with the flames from the boiler, fol-
lowing the gas back to the store house
where the barrels of cement took fire
Chemical and hydrant streams had
no affect on the blaze, and as soon as he
arrived on the scene, Chief Vaughn or
dered the men to turn their water on
the adjacent buildings, while others
provided themselves with shovels, and
commenced shovelling sand on the
flames to smother them. In this way
the fire was confined to the building.
and finally burned itself out.
The value Of the cement in the store
house is estimated at 5000, on which
there is no insurance. A house owned
by c. F. lockwood is near the burned
building, and for a time it looked as
though the house would take fire, but
such a contingency was averted, al
though the side of the building nearest
the fire will need repainting.
The loss will amount to between 5000
and $500. The lockwood house is in
sured through the agency of Charles
u Grant

A PEPPER
on the Hill.
FERROUS SCAMP
Who Has Just Been Com
planned Of by Westsiders.

After a season of comparative quiet,
the female portion of the west side res
idence district is once more terrorized
by the appearance of the parody on
man, Familiarity known as Jack the
Pepper"
This individual whose identity is a
profound secret at the present time, is
eligible to be the recipient of coat of
tar and feathers, and should some of
the fathers and brothers of young WON
en- who have been frightened and in
suited by this individual lay hands on
him, There is a strong probability that
this delicate measure of punishment
would be considered too light
This creature in the form OF man APP
pears periodically and varies his per-
formances from peering into the win
dows of houses to openly insulting wo-
men on the street. Yesterday morning
George S. Davis reported TO the police
that he had given chase to a fellow the
night previous who had insulted a do
nestle in his employ.
The man proved to be the best
Splinter of the two, however and made
his escape. The description of the man,
as near as could be gained in the light
afforded by street lamps, is as follows
Dark complexion, a weeks growth Of
beard, 5 feet inches tall, weight about
$40 pounds. The man was dressed en-
tlrely in black and wore a long over
coat

TELEPHONE SCHEME
Looks Like a Go at Tonights
Public Meeting.

A company in which all subscribers will
have personal interest is the slogan
of the promoters of the latest move
ment in favor Of an Independent tele-
phone company in this city.

vestigation as to whether the forna-
ton of such a company is advisable,
have gone over the ground thoroughly

to sell for $50 per share. They propose
to place residence telephones for $24 a
ytdTs WHICH 10 COuS@ucIdOiy lSSS lIldll
the rate charged by the present COM
pany, and as far as possible an effort
will be made to have all subscribers
stockholders in the company.
If the men who subscribe take but
one share Of stock, so much the better,
according to the plans of the commit
tee. With the stock owned by the peo-
pie, they are bound to feel more inter-
est in the company, and withall having
a voice in the matter, the liability of
being bought up by the old company is

Charlotte Bronte and Mrs Humphrey
Ward" was the subject of Mr. Leon H.
Vincent's lecture last evening at Trim
ity NJ. e. church. Mr. Vincent devoted
most of the evening to Charlotte Bronte
and spoke especially upon the adverse
circumstances under which she wrote.
Jane Eyre" her masterpiece, he be-
lieves is as popular now about SO
years after its publication, as when it
was first published, and may be equal
ly compared with Family Fair and
''Picwick Papers"
He spoke TO some extent upon her
personality, and described her as a
very timid, reserved and bashful crea-
ture. AS all the household cares de
volved upon her, she never sighted
them in the least. and devoted her time
to writing only when all other house
hold tasks were completed She, how
ever overcame the difficulties which
surrounded her, and by her Jane
Eyre ranks as one of the great novel
lists.
The most important thing to note in
Mrs Humphrey Wards career, as well
as in all authors, was the severe criti-
cism her works met with on their pub

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

Receives Circular From Commissioners.

Receives Circular From Commissioners.
Secretary Squier of the board of trade
has just re ceived communication from
the Massachusetts board of managers
of the Paris exposition of 1900, which
will be of interest and value to MEM
bers of the board and other Worcester
manufacturers who are intending TO
make displays at the Forthcoming ex-
position 1t VIII be seen from the COM
munication that the board of managers
desire that all applications for space
signify their intention not later than
the middle Of February next The let
ter is az follows:
The Legislature of this common
wealth, at its last session, made provi.
sion for the appointment of a board Of
Paris exposition managers which
should have charge of the interests of
the commonwealth and its citizens at
the International exposition to be held
in Paris in 1900. Acting under this
authority, the governor appointed Hon.
Geo. Won L. Meyer of Hamilton, Chas.
b. Adams of Lowell, Mrs. Clarence H
Crafts of Foston, Hon. Charles s.
Hamlin of Boston, Miss Frances M.
Lincoln of Worcester Charles L. Low
ering of Taunton. Hon. William B. Rice
Of Quincy and Hon. William Whiting
Of tioIyolze, to constitute the board. The
Importance OF Massachusetts is such
that she should be properly represent
ed. and this board now calls the atten-
| ton of the citizens of the common
wealth to the necessity of prompt APP
pHcation on the part of all who desire
to exhibit at Paris.
To provide such representation, it
| is necessary that requests for space be
made early, and all applications sent
to this board VIII be urged on the COM
missioner general OF the United States
as forcibly as possible. AS the space
available for the United States in all
departments is limited, 1t is probable
that allotments III many cases may be
less than applied for, and it is possible
that some applications may be alto
gether rejected.
This board therefore appeals to all
those intending to exhibit, to make
prompt application for space, and I'M
Gertakes. so far as lies in its power,
to aid in obtaining for Massachusetts
exhibitors area proportionate to the po-
sition of the state as q manufacturing
and industrial community The rules
of the exposition require that appliea-
tons shall be filed prior to Feb 15 1899,
and it viii therefore be seen that inn
mediate action must be taken IL a
proper rep~ese ntation of the industries
Of the commonwealth are to be secured.
Blank forms of application, together
with the rules and regulations Of the
exposition. may be obtained at the Of
fee CommonMe building. Boston,
and applications filed there viii receive
proTnpt attention"
This communication is signed by Geo.
Won L. Meyer chairman, and Walter s.
Allen. secretary. 1t is probable that
a meeting of the Board of Trade viii
be called soon, 10 take some action in
regard to the matter.
