ROYAL GOOD TIME.
South Worcester Anglers Review the Good
Work Of Summer Season.


The first grand banquet and reunion
of the South Worcester Angling assoc
citation was held at the City hotel last
evening, and this well known organiza-
ton, which has done so much to adj
vance the protection of fish in the In
land waters of the county, established
for itself another success in the social
line.
Over 80 members gathered around the
banquet board and for two hours
discussed one of Mine Host KesseI's
famous turkey spreads. The menu was
toothsome enough to suit even the most
exacting epicure, and as one delight
full course after another received hon
orable mention, duh care vanished for
the night
1t was 8 o'clock when the members
of the association sat down to the ban
quet, and for two hours the menu fur
nished food for profound thought. At
the close of the banquet the post pran-
dial exercises opened with a graceful
speech by President John Mills of the
association, who set the ball of elo-
quence and wit rolling

ton in the past, and outlined its poll

No doubt it is rather a shock to some
to see President Eliot of Harvard quot
ed in favor of a larger army and a
stronger navy. There is no escape from
the increase of both, but the extent is
a matter for debate. With garrisons in
Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines, to say nothing Of the nee
essity Of policing the Indians at home.
10000 men would seem a very modest
estimate for the army that is to be.

tinue indefinitely.

An official report which comes from
government sources shows that the
Philippines are endowed with about the
usual variety of mineral products for

is no definite testimony as yet concern
ing the abundance of any Of these pro-
ducts. Gold can be found in Massa-

quantities. 1t appears, however, that
there is an abundance Of coal, but Of
a sort which is particularly injurious

heating, but what we want in the Phil

A Washington dispatch quotes a
prominent member of the administra-
ton as saying Of Senator HoaTs
speech, that 'it required a brave man
to take that position, in the face of
what seems to be an overwhelming
public sentiment behind the president s
declared policy to take the Philip
pines" No doubt it was a brave act,
considering the attitude of the admin
istration, but where is the evidence of
this overwhelming public sentiment
in favor of annexation?

1t need not be cold day, but it must
be an uncommonly clear one, when no
war cloud floats across the European
horizon. When that cloud hangs over
England it casts a shadow across the
ocean. Since the situation in Egypt
became ominous, there has been an in
creasing scarcity of vessels for the
Misunderstanding trade. In the midst
of the present commercial activity, it
is said, the scarcity of ships without
contract is proving an embarrassment.
In case of actual conflict there would
probably be a rush of shipping from
other nations to take the place of
British vessels withdrawn from the
American trade.

In his speech at Lawrence, Senator
Lodge said that the tariff levied by the
French after the conquest of Madagas-
car shut two Massachusetts cotton
mills out Of a market which they had
monopolized for half century. The
French have been roundly denounced
for their tariff policy in Madagascar,
but what is to be our policy in our new
dependencies? French colonial policy
as a rule is good thing to avoid. Yet
if we do not initiate It, what becomes
of protection? It is going to be a Sc
rious question whether expansion and
protection can exist side by side.

PURSUED BY WHEAT

by a Flood of Grain.

Workmen Chased Out of a Warehouse
by Flood OF Grain.
Six thousand bushels of unsacked
wheat got loose and went on tear. 1t
happened in the warehouse of the F..
G. Ayers Mercantile Company at Den
yer. The scenes that followed were
something similar to those described by
Victor Hugo when cannon got loose
from its fastenings on board ship and
rolled and reared from one end of the
gun deck to another until the ship was
disabled and a number of the crew
killed. Only, nobody was killed by the
wheat.
In the rear of the Ayres warehouse
are four great bins, built up from the
ground floor and capable of holding
twenty-five carloads of wheat at time.
The company's bookkeeper, sitting in
his Office at the front of the building,
100 feet or more from the bins, heard
terrific ripping, tearing, splintering
sound, as if the whole end of the ware
house was being torn out by a monster
hand. He rushed from the little box
of an office out onto the main floor of
the warehouse. He paused, gasped for
breath and threw up his hands.
What he saw was giant wave of
wheat flowing toward him, licking at
the very heels of dozen laborers who
had been at work near the bins and
who were now fleeing for their lives.
The ocean of wheat moved onward
| for a score of feet or more and then
Gained down as suddenly as if a barrel
of oil had been spread on it's troubled
waves. The bookkeeper yelled to the
laboring men to stop running, pulled
his hands down to their accustomed
pockets, took deep breath and
whistled
By and by the cloud of dust that had
arisen drifted away and the bookkeeper
and the laboring men could see what
had happened. It didn't take long
One of the stout beams had grown
weak from the burden on its back and
snapped in two. A hundred other stout
beams had followed suit. There was
nothing left for the imprisoned wheat
to do but make rush for a less con-
fined resting place. There were 5000
bushels of it in the bin, and it was nc
wonder that its moving caused conster-
nation.
After the dozen laboring men had re-
covered their wits and gone to work
again the little bookkeeper in the front
Office said the damage done would not
exceed $50. All that was necessary to
do to save the wheat was to sweep ii
up off the floor and pack it in sacks.

The Monkey Bread Tree.

Cape de Verde, that is, the Green
Cape, is said to owe its name in part
to the foliage of the Adamsonia digi-
tata which adorns the whole of Sene-
gamble and Guinea with its green clip
tic arches; a full-grown tree presenting
at distance almost the appearance OF
forest. According to Adamson, trees
are met with having diameter OF
thirty feet, although the height of the
tree is moderate, varying from fifty to
sixty feet.
The lower branches, however, shoot
out to an incredible length, at first in
a horizontal direction. These are COW
cred with an immense foliage, which
from it's weight causes them to bend
toward the ground and thus there is
presented huge hemispherical mass
of verdure, 120, 140 or even $50 feet in
diameter and perhaps so feet in height.
The fruit is an oblong, dull green,
downy body, eight or nine inches long,
containing several cells, in which there
is number of hard shining seeds, i'm
mersed in soft pulp, which is scarce
ly juicy. From this pulp the native
negroes prepare an acidulous drink,
much used in the fevers of the coun-
try.
The bruised leaves in dry state
form substance called halo, which
they mix with their food, and imagine
it useful in checking or counteracting
the effects of profuse perspiration. All
the soft parts of the tree are emollient
or mucilaginous.
