it of comparative insignificance."
He added that, while he did not be-
lieve it to be the purpose of any one
that the islands should constitute a
state of the union, he would net attempt
to say anything that would bind future
administrations in this matter.
One strong point when Mr.. Davis
dwelt upon at considerable length was
the desirability of these Islands not only
to this country, but also to all the lead
ing powers of the world. eve" he
said, SHOULD take the islands while we
have the opportunity, and if we do not
want them, it viii be a very easy mat
to get rid of them on our own terms"
He showed that they would be a very
important territorial acquisition to
either Japan, England or Russia, and
expressed the opinion that either of
those powers would take the islands off
our hands at any time we might make
known our desire to be rid of them 1t
would be easy enough, he said, to turn
them over to some other country in case
we found them to be an undesirable ac-
QUESTION, but who would say that it
would be so easy for us to take them
at some future time, in case we volun-
tarily deprived ourselves Of the present
opportunity? He, therefore, argued
that the experiment should be made at
this time.
When Senator Davis concluded this
portion of his speech, it was with the
general understanding that he would
continue tomorrow; but, as he has an
abundance OF material, it is doubtful
whether he will be able to conclude
with one more effort When me ceased
speaking he was congratulated by his
fellow-senators upon his comprehensive
presentation Of the subject.
The friends of the treaty now claim
SO votes as certain for ratification.
The AZ republicans are said to be
solid for ratification, with the exception
of Senator Morrill, of Vermont.

THE C. A. R. LECTURE COURSE.
The Man Who Thrilled Gen. Grant to
Speak Friday Night.


Rev. DIR. A. J. Palmer appears in the
G. A. r. course, in Mechanics Hall, Fri
day evening, the subject of his lecture
being Company D, the die-no-mores."
DR.. Palmer is an eloquent speaker and
comes to Worcester direct from New
York, where he has addressed large au-
diences, who have been thrilled by his
eloquence His lecture is in the nature
of an historical sketch of Company d
of the 4Sth New York regiment, and is
really a tribute to a private soldier of
the late war, the Illustrations of which
are drawn from the thrilling events of
the great conflict. DR.. Palmer has great
personal magnetism, self-reliance and
self-forgetfUlness, which qualities emf
nently qualify him for his work. The
last address Gen. Grant ever heard was
delivered by DR. Palmer, in 1884, at the
convention, in Ocean Grove, Of the chap
lains of the northern and southern
armies. DR.. Palmer, who had enlisted
at the age of IA years and served all
through the war, was the last speaker,
and addressed the convention for an
hour, When the cheers, which continued
more than five minutes, had subsidized,
Gen. Grant stepped forward, and rest
ing painfully on his crutch, said in a
low voice. which, however, could be
heard distinctly in the death-like hush:
can hour ago I might have made a
speech, but now am almost afraid to
try. This young man has overcome
me. I have not words to express my
thanks I appreciate" The sentence
was never finished. Tears stood in Gen
Grants eyes, and dle dropped back in
his seat with a suppressed sigh-his
last appearance in public. DR. Palmer
has thrilled multitudes as he thrilled
Gen. Grant, and his mastery blending
of pathos and humor has raised him
to the front rank of lecturers.

WILL GO 10 LEGISLATURE
Friends of Architect Boyden Expect no
Favor From County Commissioners.

AS the majority of the county com
missioners fail to see any cause why
they should change their attitude in
supporting the plans of Andrews,
Jacques g. Rantoul of Boston, which
they formally adopted by a vote that is
on record, Architect Elbridge Boydsn
and his supporters are preparing to take
the matter to the legislature. The for
NAL petition was presented Tuesday
and as Commissioners Stone and Cook
are positive in thEr declarations to
stand by the adopted design, they will
vote against having the competition re-
opened and the plans Of Mr.. Boyden
adopted for the new court house. Fore
seeing this event, the friends of Mr..
Boyden are making ready to have the
matter brought before the legislature.
with the intention Of having the control
of the new court house construction
taken entirely from the hands of the
county commissioners and a new com
mission or board of control appointed.
which will be favorable to the adoption
of Mr.. Boydens plan. Commissioner
Henry G. Taft, who will vote for the
reopening of the competition, said Tues
day morning that the matter would
probably go to the state legislature ana
there the friends of Mr.. Boyden felt
confident that they would receive favor.
Mr. Taft was urgent in having the
old advisory board removed by the .eg-
isiature, and Mr.. Boyden's friends hope
that he will have equal influence in
having a new commission appointed 70
have the sole jurisdiction and authority
in the matter. Mr.. Taft felt that the
Worcester oar was behind the move
ment, an / said that the petition which
had been circulated bore the names Of
representative citizens, as no other pc

CHANGE IN TELEPHONE RATES.
A New Schedule for Private Parties in
This City.

The New England Telephone & Tele-
graph Company make the announce
ment that in future they will offer re-
duced measured service rates for resi-
dence telephones.
Heretofore, or since the measured
service rates went into effect, some
thing like year and a half ago, the
lowest rate for measured service was
$S6 year. which called for a line with
three or more stations, and entitled the
subscriber to 500 calls per annum, all
additional calls to be charged at the
rate of eight cents per call. The new
scheme specifies that there may be six
parties on a line, each entitled to 400
calls a year, five cents to be charged
for each additional call, or, Il the sub
scriber sees fit, he may purchase a lot
of 100 for $4 This means that a person
can have a telephone at his residence
and be entitled to the same number of
calls as before the change, with a saw
ing Of 81 a year, the only condition be-
ing that there will be two or three
more parties on the line.

CARE OF THE HAIR.
Nothing Adds More to wOnan's At
tractiVeness Than Becom-
ing Coinure.

: There is nothing that affects the ap-
pearance more than the arrangement
OF the hair. When a woman finds d
style that is becoming to her, she
should not change it to follow every ca
price of fashion. If parting the hair
in the middle looks better than
pompadour, wear it in that way by all
means. Those who are blessed with
curly hair need not worry about waves
and ringlets about the forehead, but
II it is necessary to use crimping pins,
& good bandoline is a great help. 1t
may be made by soaking ounce seed
in water all night. Remove the seeds
in the morning, wet the hair that is
to be crimped with the water and roll
il up while it is wet. 1t will stay
crimped long time.
If you wish TO have pretty hair, it is
necessary to keep it clean, yet it is
often injured by using ammonia or
strong soap in washing Fill wash
bowl half full of warm, soft water and
dissolve a teaspoonful of boraX in it.
Wet the head with the water, rub
enough good toilet soap on it to make
strong lather and wash the scalp Wig
orously. BoraX is perfectly harmless,
yet it is an excellent cleanser, and very
little soap is needed. Immerse the long
hair in the water and rub it between the
hands as you would soiled garment
to wash it. Rinse with warm, clear
water, wipe as dry as possible with a
towel, then spread the hair over the
shoulders and sit near the fire, or in
the open air if it is warm enough, so it
will dry quickly. Rub a little vaseline
on the hair to keep it from flying about.
This restores the oil that is removed
by washing; at no other time is any
oil or pomade necessary. The hair
should never be rolled up while it is
damp.
Dandruf may be removed by the fre-
quent application of a solution of
borax, using a teaspoonful to small
cupful of water. Rub it into the scalp,
then comb and brush the hair care
fully. Bay rum and borax make an ex-
cellent hair tonic, stimulating the scalp
TO healthy action and causing the hair
TO grow.-Ladies' World.

USE FOR OLD GLOVES.
Chance Discovery of a Bit of HuniI
Hid work Opens tp IA New Field
for Economists.

What to do with old kid gloves ia
very frequently n source of reflection
for the ugal-minded utilitarian averse
to throwing away anything that can
possibly be turned to account. Long
stretches of suede or kid are consigned
with regret to the rag bag and it was
only recently and quite by chance that
a modern piece of Hunis kid work and
a curious old letter case, met with in a
curiosity shop, appeared to throw some
light on the question. The mirror case
is one of those which may be picked uI
occasionally with other objects deco.
rated in like manner. The foundation
is of deep plum-colored velvet, about
six inches long; the cut-out ornament
laid over this is white kid, pasted upon
blue paper, and fastened down by long
stitches of silver thread; the spangles
are silver, fixed down by short lengths
of silver bullion brought round to form
a very diminutive loop. The center
ornament, as is plainly indicated, il
covered with long threads of silver
twist. The mirror is fixed to back
made of stiff card, and this is united to
