WANTS NO MORE.
Father Conaty Opposes a
Rum Shop on Millbury
C4,oot

Rev Bernard S. Conaty, pastor OF the
Church Of the Sacred Heart, in his ser
mon yesterday alluded to an applica-
ton for transfer of a liquor license
from Mechanic street to 457 Miubury
street, and made an earnest appeal to
his congregation to use every legal
means in their power to prevent the es-
tablishing of another rum shop in the
parish. He said the rum license seeking
location at the ledge was particularly
obnoxious, as it would be directly oppo-
site another saloon, thereby making
both sides Of the street almost impassa-
BILE at early evening or night for women
or children.
At present they have one sidewalk
free to avoid drunken men, who unfor
tunately are frequently met here, and
should this petition be granted it would
oblige the people to seek the middle of
the street to avoid insult.
The homes of the Sacred Heart par
ish protest against such a nuisance. He
earnestly urged that the commissioners
would not help rurnsellers finding pres
ent locations Improbable to infest the
main path Of travel for the workmen of
the Quinsigamond wire MILL and the
women and children who work or at
tend school from this locality.
Better this rum license should per-
ish," said he, "than the homes of our
parish be menaced by any more rum
shops"

GOAL FROM FIELD WON GAME.
George Hersey Continues His Wonder
full Kicking at Exeter.

George Hersey, the old Academy ath-
lete, has been doing some grand good
playing on the Phillips Exeter eleven
this fall. He has kicked goal from the
field in every game thus far. Saturday
Hersey drove the pigskin over the bar
from the 20-yard line, thereby scoring
for his side the only touchdown of the
game.
Hersey's goal kicking has attracted
the attention of college coaches and al
ready he has received many invitations
to enter various colleges next year. A
popular impression prevails to the eff
feet that Hersey will affiliate himself
with Dartmouth a year hence. In a per-
sonal letter To a friend on The Spy,
however, Hersey says that he has not
changed his determination to enter
Harvard next fall and modestly adds.
he hopes to make the freshmen team. A
berth on the varsity would be no more
than he deserves nor more than he is
capable Of filling.

But the Sight of a Policeman Started
Him in Another Direction.


An incident that proved vastly anus

worst man in several states. TO have

it.
He was so bad the police all gave
him q wide berth. and there was no
bloody, bfass-buttoned cop in Worces-

He became so violent in his criticism
that one of his listeners, who has sew
eral friends on the police force started
out, in spite of the rain that was COM

friends to keep out of the bad mans

The wicked man in blue finally fin

the collar of his military coat, started
for home. He had barely set foot on
the sidewalk, however, when Officer
George Delaney hove in sight around a
near by corner.
There was g. sudden change in the
bad mans demeanor. Whether it was
the cold rain dashing against his cheek
or not, his listeners were unable to de-

Changes in the Old Ideal Fall Building
on Main Street


Worcester real estate is suffering
from the general business stagnation,
Under which the country seems to be
This doesn't mean that real estate in
Worcester is in a worse condition than
that of other towns, for everywhere
the same lack of stir, of life, is found.
There are exceptional places, of course,
but they do not amount to much In
the course of things, this state of affairs
cannot last always, no more than can
the price of wheat or cotton remain the
same throughout the season.
Though there has been no important
transfer Of real estate during the past
week in Worcester, yet there have been
some building operations worthy Of
note. Perhaps the most interesting of
these is the entire remodelling of the
building at Nos, 242-4-6 Main street
The work was begun last September,
and the contract calls for It's compile
ton by Jan. 1st, 1899, at which time
Messrs. Flint & Barker, furniture deal
ers at Sc Front street, win take possess
sion. The old building was 45x50 feet,
with four floors. The rear wall has
been removed and carried back the full
length of the lot, 100 feet; the old par
titions have been taken out, and the
whole interior renovated. Worcester
people will remember the top floor of
this building as old Ideal Hall, which
had an opening into Insurance build
ing, next door. This floor will be used
by Flint & Barker as the carpet depart
ment.
The front Of the building will be
changed and plate glass put in the
first, second and third floors. A new
passenger elevator will be added, and
the whole place be heated by steam
and electrically lighted. Messrs. Flint
&. Barker expect to erect a warehouse
for their stock, but have not decided on
its exact location.
