Discuss the Vital Issues Of
the Campaign.

Whitinsville, Nov 2.-The republicans
of Whitinsville held their first and only
big rally Of the present campaign this
evening in Memorial hall, and the
speeches that were delivered there by
Attorney General Hosea M. Knowlton
of New Bedford, and Assistant United
States District Attorney A. H. Wash
burn of Boston, were listened to with
great attention, the telling points that
were made by the two speakers being
received with much applause One of
the noticeable features was the large
number of ladies in the hall. 1t was
not what could be called a demonstra-
tive audience, but every person there
seemed to be in sympathy with the
words of the orators.
Mr.. Within called the assembly to
order, and first introduced A. H. Wash
burn of Boston. Mr.. Washburn, in his
address, pointed out the able manner
in which the republican party had han
died some of the. grave situations which
have fallen to the lot of the present
administration. He showed the obsta-
cles which the democratic congressman
and senators had thrown into the path
of President Mckinley. He also point
ed out the able manner in which the
present administration had carried on
the war with Spain and brought it to
such a successful issue.
He spoke in glowing terms Of our
American commanders. ranking George
Dewey and William T. Sampson with
Perry, Decatur, Paul Jones and Farra-
gut. This brought forth a round of
applause from the audience. Mr.. Wash
burn continued his speech, severely
criticising the action of the democratic
party in the past.
His remarks were well received. At
ter he had seated himself Chairman
II. T. Within introduced the second
speaker of the evening, H. M. Knowl-
ton of New Bedford. Mr.. Knowltons
address lasted about As minutes. He
said at the opening of his speech that
he had been called upon to address
a republican rally in the town of
Northbridge and the village of Whit

DOESN'T LIKE IT.
That "Just- Like-a- Woman" Fling by
Caustic Men
(From One cincinnatl Enquirer.l


One sometimes hears some curious
and sometimes some very interesting
things on the cars. Coming down from
one of the hilltops the other day two
girls-beyond the youthful age of eight
cen, but still in the full bloom of young
womanhood--wer carrying on an ami
mated bit of conversation.
A girl with saucy, chic and frank
air remarked:
Have you ever noticed how many
exasperatingly foolish things man be-
lieves a woman does that she never
does at ALP" Her meeker companion
smiled at an idea which was not alto
gether new to her, though she had
never dared to express it.
'Think of it, said the laxative girl;
Just think of the foolish things that
are set down in every mans notebook
as being Just like woman. If "a
woman does something particularly
praiseWorthy she is called unusual, but
let her be guilty of one little piece of
foolishness or imprudence and a thou
sand masculine voice are heard to say,
Just like a woman. Only last night a
young man said to me, Every girl is
imprudent once in her life just as
though everything little less than a god
didn't err at some time"
Here the car flew around curve
and almost jerked the annoyed maiden
from her seat, but after gaSping for
another long breath, she continued:
"In the first place. there is scarcely a
man but thinks that when he has called
on girl four times, that girl is quite
certain he is in love with her. He
thinks there can be no doubt but that
he has completely charmed her, and
you know, Evelyn, that it takes a good
deal of devotion for the modern man
to convince a girl that he really and
truly loves her-adores her above all
things else, even himself"
Evelyn agreed with her, and she con-
tinued at race-horse speed to finish
her discussion before the car reached
Fountain square.
And then there is the idea that a
woman peeps into every mirror or shop
window that can reflect her image; that
she ties her fare up in the corner of
her handkerchief and squanders unlim-
tied amounts on soda and water and
ice cream. OH he says she is never
on time, and that to keep q. secret is
out of the question. She tells small
fibs, just dotes on loads of proposals
for the mere fun of refusing them, and
-ohl goodness me, / couldn't name
half of them between here and Chica-
60"
At a last view of them they were
making their way to Fourth street,
where two other girl friends met them.
and the bright-eyed girls troubles were
forgotten In sidewalk kiss.
1t does bother woman whose pride
it is to live above the petty vanities of
things ordinary, to be honest in love
affairs and to be punctual in little
business matters and friendly appoint
ments to know that men are ever ready
to ascribe her shortcomings to the ma
ture of her sex.
She would far rather have them con-
demned on her own account than con-
doned through that hateful little
speech, "Just like a woman"

HATS OFF IN cHURcH
(From Harper's Bazaar. )

(From Harper's Bazar)
The latest hats-off movement comes
from Cincinnati, Ohio, where it has been
introduced into one of the churches
Many of the newspapers of the country
have commented editorially upon the in
novation and, almost without exception,
favorably. There is scarcely a doubt that
have been made with the writer's mind =
eye turned more toward the theatre than
toward the church. Their remarks proved
this They spoke of woman's added at
Effectiveness when without a hat, of her
desire to keep watch of the speaker, and
of a religious service not being a place
for bobbing restlessly about in an at
tempt to see. To begin with, the appeal
to feminine vanity was not exactly the
happiest notion in reference to q church
service AS for the desirability of keep
ing watch" of the minister without dis
tracing moving around, that is unques-
are so athletically inclined that we cam
not keep them in sight without any ex
ceeding great effort.
A minister delivering an address from q
comparatively small platform is not to be
compared with a company of players
ranging over a large stage 1t cannot be
denied that there are preachers who make
the most of their platform area, and they
are often the men we most keenly desire
to keep watch Of" Still they are excep-
tons. AS for the idea of women taking
off their hats in church, there is no fault
to be found with that, and there Is much
to be said in its favor. Before it is uni
versally adopted, however, let us hope
that the problemof ventilation in churches
may be nearer solution than it seems TO
be now.

A RETROSPECT.
washington Evening Starr

Il was thinking" said the man who
had just given deep sigh, of the de-
parted days of youth
All, yes" answered his companion.
II suppose that when a man gets a. lit
tie along in years, say-er-like your
self, he'd give a great deal if he could
only turn the clock back a decade or
So"
HE would. There's no use denying
it, he would. He can't help feeling
gloomy over what he has lost: those
days when he thought that he could
give Bismarck points on craftsmanship,
If he'd only take the trouble to study a
little; when he was certain he'd be able
to give Rubenstein music lessons, if he
decided to turn his attention to the pi-
an0: when he didn't entertain the
slightest doubt Of his ability to show
Booth where his reading of Shakspere
might be improved, and when he looked
up at night and saw q. sky that teemed
with undiscovered planets, waiting for
him to turn astronomer. He may have
more sense when he gets older and
not annoy the neighbors SO much; but

Hence the Big Thayer Raj
ly is Abandoned.

The mammoth democratic rally which
was to be held in Mechanics hall Sat
urday night, will probably be aband-
oned. John R. Thayer, the democratic
candidate for congress, is unable to
secure the services of Gen. Patrick Col
Inns or Mayor Quincy of Boston to
speak in his behalf Saturday, and as
Judge John w. Corcoran cannot easily
attend, the affair will probably be
passed.
Gen. Collins was asked by a repre-
sentative OF Judge Augustus Van
wyck of New York to assist in the New
York campaign, but he was obliged to
refuse to accept, as he did not feel able
to come to Worcester to assist Mr.,
