OFF FOR THE KLoNDIkE.
Three Adventurous Youths Start for the
Gold Fields on Stewart River

A trio of hardy young Worcester
county men left this city Saturday
afternoon for the gold fields of Alaska,
hoping to return in the course of a
couple of years with big bags of the gilt
tering gold. They were: Charles d. AID
rich Of Millbury, George Buffum of Tx
bridge and L. c. Pendell of this city, and
they left on the 3.45 train over the Fitch
burg road for the Stewart river terri
tory where they have been told there
is a lot of the precious metal lying
around loose The party originally con-
tanned four members, Charles Fletcher
of Grafton being the other member of
the quartet, and If 1t had not been for
him, the four would have started last
Tuesday. He was not ready to go then,
and the other three waited for him to
get his things together until Thursday,
but he finally sent word Friday that he
would not go. The other three then de-
cided to wait no longer, and started Sat
urday.
Unlike the big party that left earlier
in the week, the three young men were
not dressed to attract attention. They
wore their usual dress, but their wooden
coats, rubber boots, fur-lined garments,
etc, We're close at hand in the trunks
which will carry them to Seattle, where
the trunks will be discarded for bags
that are easier to handle. Only the i'm
mediate relatives of the young men
were at the Union station to see them
off, but the parting was none the less
sad, and tears were shed by the women,
while tell-tale moisture hung from the
lashAs of the young adventures. Mr..
Aldrich's wife accompanied him as far

Thomas Proyan, Oldest Local scotchman
Writes How 1t impressed Him.

in the city, who was a guest at the re-
cent banquet of the admirers of Burns,
in the Bay State House, has sent the
following letter expressing his thanks to

THE BIJOU THEATRE.

The fifth week of the biograph opens
with that fascinating machine still high
in the estimation of the public and with
fresh assortment of stirring views The
Haverstraw tunnel, of course, is re-
tanned, as also the pillow fight, Marshall
P. Wilder and the Brooklyn navy yard;
while the five new pictures comprise a
fishing schooner in a gale, typical cafe
on the Bowery, big cannon loading
and firing off Sandy Hook, the seventh
regiment New York national guard at
Grants monument dedication and the
blanket court martial, wherein a group
Of soldiers are tossing divers hapless
comrades in blankets.
Foremost among the vaudeville peo-
pie of the week Is Lille Western, the
musical artist. Miss Western was the
hit Of the week when she appeared here
previously, scoring above such artists
as Clara Morris, and her return has al
ready caused furry in the advance
sale. Besides her musical skill, Miss
Western is also noted for being a pro-
nOunced man Halter, and as one of the
WealthieSt people in the vaudeville pro-
fession-possibly cause and effect. Gus
Bruno, the eccentric comedian, whose
impersonation Of the Irish dude in the

is also cast for the leading role in the
farce, THE Huckleberry Picnic" which
closes the entertainment. Bingham, the

ties are limitations of a photograph and
smoking a cigaret while singing his
songs, has a prominent position on the
bill, side by side with Sheridan and

REV. c. E. JEFFERSON.
The Story of How He Happened to De-
cline Piedmont's Call.
(New York Times, Feb. 81

(New York Times, Feb. 81
Word was received yesterday from the
Rev. Charles Edward Jefferson of the
Central Congregational Church, Chel-
sea, Mass, indicating his acceptance of
the pastorate of the Broadway Taber-
nacle Church, Sixth avenue and S4th
street. After long delay in filing this
important pastorate, the final part of
the work has been concluded within
about three weeks Up to that time the
pulpit supply committee had no one in
mind. Mention was made of the Rev.
DIR. J. H. BarrowS of Chicago, the Rev.
DR.. Alexander Mckenzie of Cambridge,
and two others of lesser note, and lit
tie hope was still entertained of secur-
ing President Raymond of Union Col
lege. Three weeks ago the leading
periodical of the denomination pub
lished a personal sketch of the Rev. Mr..
jefferson. The committee Of the Taber-
nacle was attracted at once William
Ives Wash burn. the clerk of the church,
went to Chelsea and heard him. A con-
sultation was had, and Immediately af-
terward the Rev Mr.. Jefferson de-
clined the calls which he had received
from Piedmont Church, Worcester,
Mass, and the New England Church,
chicago.
The Tabernacle committee at once an
nounced that 1t had secured a probable
pastor, and went so far as to set So
ciety reception for Monday evening, at
which while it was not said that the
pastor-elect would be present, the inn
preston was given that he would be.
A like impression was conveyed to the
congregation by Mr. Washburn when
the call was formally extended on last
Wednesday evening. The acceptance
follows in quick succession, and, the
pulpit having been so long vacant it is
understood that Mr.. Jefferson will take
up his work in New York at the earliest
possible date.
1t is an interesting fact that the late
Bishop Phillips Brooks of Massachusetts
influenced the new pastor of the Broad
way Tabernacle to give up the law for
the ministry. Mr. Jefferson had been
graduated from Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity, and had won a state oratorical
contest. He tried school teaching, and
then the law. While a student in the
Boston University Law School he came
under the influence of the then rector
of Trinity Church, Phillips Brooks; he
left the law school and entered the

The Herald is enthusiastic over her
fine eontralto voice, in which lurked the
bright quality of the mezzo-soprano,"
and made her at once a delight to the
audience" An ideal voice for a
church service" the Herald says The
Record says her Charming voice and
classic technique took the audience by
storm" There is also praise for "her
charming vocalization, the rich full
compass and sympathetic timbre of her
delightful contralto voice" The con-
ductor of these concerts is r. p. Paine

and an energetic and capable musician,
who is well known to the craft through
out the country.
