state to the necessity Of immediate and
prompt action.
Otnef states are, through COIIlLleICId4

! Every manufacturing, industrial and
I commercial body should be represented
by at least five delegates at this hear
| ing.

FIsKE JUBILEE SINGERS.
They Had Large Audience at Mechan-
les Hall.

The Fiske Jubilee Singers may well
be proud Of the audience that greeted
them in Mechanics Hall Tuesday eve
ming. The concert was one of the Sc
ries of the Worcester entertainment
course, and was attended by an audi
ence that nearly filled the hall.
To understand the musical charm of
negro melodies one must hear them sung
by members of that race. The enthu-
siasm, fire and rhythm that they can
put into them is wonderful
The company were stalled for a
whole day near Bangor during the biz
zard, and every one. caught more or less
cold. P. r. De Lang, the first tenor, is Sc
riously i'll in Boston, and did not APP
pear. Despite these drawbacks all sang
in very good voice, and did everything
possible to make up for Mr.. DeLang' S
absence.
The solo work of the different mem
bers showed that each had a we'll
trained voice, and also knew how to
control it.
Miss Mayme P. Galloway sang as an
encore to one of her solos, molly, the
cows are in the corn" in a beautiful
manner.
Charles Payne, the second tenor, sang
Fleiger's 81 love her. very pleasingly,
and was given an encore.
j. N. Caldwell, second bass, is the star
of the troupe. His deep, heavy voice
rolled out pure notes like those of an
organ.
The other members work appeared to
best advantage in the ensembles, which
were strong and sweet

REV. DR.. HALE TONIGHT.
Second in Series of Lectures on Old Bos
ton at Salisbury Hall,


Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale is to
give the second in his series Of lectures
on old Boston at Salisbury han this eve
hing, under the auspices of the Society
of Antiquity, and it is to be hoped that
the audience which will greet him will
be worthy of him and the society which
IS responsible for bringing him here.
His first lecture, last Wednesday even
ing, was of an Introductory nature, and
this evening he will speak of the laying
out of the streets, the establishment of
the meeting house and the establishment
of the fisheries. The Boston Transcript,
in commenting on his lectures last No
vember, said:
Even after repetition of these lee
lures by DIR. Hale on old Boston, there
will be many persons in the city who
have tried in vain to secure admittance
to hear him. So large was the demand
for tickets this morning for the repeti-
ton of the course, that it is thought
that Huntington hall could be filled a
third time, and perhaps more, though
that Is out of the question, for there
must be a limit. 1t is fine tribute to
DR.. Hale that his efforts meet with such
general but not unexpected apprecia-
ton"

REVOLUTION IN NICARAGUA.
Women and Children Takenon Board u,
s. S. Alert.

washington, Feb. S.-Capt. Leutze, in
command of the Alert, has cabled the
navy department that he has landed
marines at San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua,
for the protection Of the American con-
sulate, owing to the fact that a revolu-
ton has broken out.
Another cablegram was received this
afternoon at the navy department, tell
ing Of the progress Of the revolutionary
movement at that end of the Nicaragua
canal.
The captain said that he had landed a
force for the protection Of the United
States consulate, and as the government
forces had given notice OF their inten-
ton to lombard the town, he had taken
on the Alert all of the women and chill
dren wdao cared for refuge.
The bombardment began yesterday
and in the end the rebels were driven
out of the town, which was taken pos
session of by the government troops.
The rebels retreated toward the interior.
The opinion among Central Americans
here is that the insurrection is doomed
to failure. The outcome Of the uprising
is awaited with much interest, because
1t is the first real test that has been
made of the ability of the greater re-
public to carry out that part Of the tri-
partite agreement that pledges united
efforts to suppress rebellion in any one
state.

back to the stable. at which the vol unteers slipping off the brides, grasped the horses names and hurried them away.
 Still determined not to yield up her property, the woman, running after, clutched the tails, preserving her hold as they were led up the street of the town, and above the laughter that met her at every side, rang her screams for help and her denunciations of the men she termed thieves, until at last she was forcibly led away.
 The manner in which rumors origi- nate was also illustrated through a talkative youth visiting relatives in Madison at the time, and who expressed himself freely regarding the dreaded Morgan, whom he professed to admire and declare was not as black as he was painted.
 The wrath of the excited populace was naturally directed toward him and doubtless the high standing and known loyalty of his family was all that saved him from paying a severe penalty for his rash speeches.
 A woman, either wishing to avoid trouble or seeing opportunity for a practical joke, one night pinned a card upon the door of the house at which the young man was a guest, on which was written a few words of advice re- garding his departure from town by a certain date. It had the effect of caus- ing him to stay in seclusion the fol- lowing day and make for home under cover of the next nights darkness.
 The card with the line upon it was found by some children, and this, cou- pied with his departure, gave rise to the story that he had been seized while in bed, and after severe castigation led beyond the town limits and told never to return under penalty of death.

ken nothing in their flight, but the clothing upon their backs and the horses or mules which had brought them thither, and which were but an added tax upon the resources of the generous townspeople.
 Realizing that they were among friends and gauging the honesty of chance acquaintances by their own, many whose flights had been more de- liberate told the story of hidden valua- bles, which they fancied were safer con- cealed upon the farm, to which they would eventually return than in their possession when making the journey to town where a turn of the road or dense thicket might conceal a raider
 One woman, after exacting a prom ise of secrecy from a small audience of females, and prefacing her revelation with the remark that she had inherited a quantity of silver from her grand mother, related that the news of Nor gan's approach had been brought to her in the night, and with the thought of the necessity of flight had come that of the valued heirloom.
 Her husband was absent on military duty and she was afraid to trust to the honesty of the colored servants So. gathering the silver in her apron, she went in search of a strong sack in which 1t was deposited.
 She procured a spade after having warned her eldest son. a boy of 13, and, bidding him bring the sack from the storeroom to a great tree which stood in the rear of some outbuildings.
 The frightened and sleepy boy reach ed the tree by the time she had scooped out a shallow hole, in which he placed

his burden, his mother covering 1t with nervous haste and concealing the loose soil with pieces of boards care lessly arranged, after which they made ready for departure, satisfied that their silver at least was safe.
 The woman had hardly received the last congratulatory remark of her list teners upon her good judgment in this way disposing of her property, when driven in dumped at her feet a corn sack, which emitted a jingling sound, and said to her astonishment:
 'I noticed that you uns had left a right smart lot of silver in your store house for Morgan's men to melt up, so l brung it along"
 It appeared that this man, not know ing of her departure, had stopped to offer neighborly assistance to the war widow" and her children in their flight; finding them already gone, and think ing that they might have In their haste left many needful things which he could convey to them in his ruomy farm wagon, he began searching and came across the sack which contained the silver.
 The owners curiosity to know what she had really buried was not grati- fled until on her return home, she dug uD a fllOuluy SLICK III WHICH was a mass of sprouting corn, of a choice variety, which had been kept in the storeroom for seed, and which the frightened boy had seized in place of the sack contain ing the silver.
 Parties were at once organized to re- sist the marauderS, and horses to con- vey the newly recruited men were in demand. Many of the people could not understand that the Government would indemnify them for any loss of prop erty furnished to protect the interests of its citizens. Among this class was an old German woman, whose business talents and capabilities for holding her own had long been a subject for local remark.
 This woman was the owner of a span of fine gray horses which, with others. were demanded for the use of the Gov ernment. Believing that her refusal to deliver up the horses would be sufficient to send from her door the officer who made the demand, she informed him that she could not sell or loan them to "the Government or anybody else. ? At this the order was given for the horses to be led away, and she then commanded her two sons to resist the robbers" which they attempted to do, but were soon compelled to desist.
 The mother, knowing that she at least would be safe from rough treat ment, caught the animals by their brides and endeavored to lead them
