City VIII Pay Much More than Was
Intended.

There are to be some pretty radical modi-
fcations of the park assessments made by
the park bureau. so far as they refer to
the price that is to be paid for land that is
condemned Much more is to be paid than
was originally intended. Last week. when
so many remonstrances were filed by at
torneys representing land owners who as
sert that they are not to be paid fair prices
for their holdings, il became perfectly plain
to the bureau that there was TO be some
very costly litigation and that the city
would doubtless be defeated. The bureau
has confessed that the prices fixed for the
lands that were to be taken were unfair in
a number of cases in certain sections of
the Fail creek system, notably from Capt.
tol avenue east and northeast toward the
fair grounds. 1t is now conceded by the
park bureau that If the original figures had
been allowed to stand the city would have

dealers are all making large ship

I'VE have communications advising us
that some shippers have been instructed to
avoid the American line account of the
apparent imminence of war between the
United States and Spain. While we regret
that the law of this land only permits us to

of our fleet. the fact remains that such is
the case, and If you encounter any objec-

Will be in position TO say that the only
steamers in our service flying the American
flag are the New York, Paris, ST. Louis and
st. Paul, running between New York apl

our Liverpool trade from Philadelphia and

TO BE MORE EXPLICIT,
TWO interesting Cases of Careless Ad
dressing of Mail.

on many occasions Postmaster J.
EYarts Greene has called the attention
of the public to the folly and danger
of addressing letter, city" instead Of
taking the trouble to write "Worces-
ter" on the envelope, thereby guarding
against possible miscarrtages. People
who allow themselves to fall into this
supposed time saving habit Of writing
City sometimes forget to fall out OF
it when they are away from home, and
then the habit becomes anything but
time-saVing if abstraotedly INDUCED IN
Here are two instances that occurred
quite recently. a Worcester man was in
Boston for some days on business.
About noon. one day it occurred to
him that he could, by catching the
o'clock mail at the postofice send his
wife some money that she needed. He
bought q stamped envelope at the
stamp window, hurriedly wrote a mes
sage on a half-sheet of notepaper,
wrapped it about a $40 bill put both in
The envelope, sealed it with extra care
and then legibly wrote the address.
Mrs --, street, City. To ensure
rapidity Of service at the Worcester
end, he affixed special delivery
stamp. This alone saved him. Just as he
stepped out on DeVOnshire street, his
error flashed across his mind. He hur-
liedly returned to the window and
somewhat eXcitedly asked the clerk to
hand him back the letter Fortunately
the clerk remembered the mans face.
and was willing to get the missiVe
which still lay on the counter. Sure
enough, it was addressed '--- street.
City There is a street of the same
name in Boston, where. of course, the
letter would have been sent, and the

search for the woman ii was directed

clue as to the identity Of the sender.

Jack both the man and his wife
would be wondering yet where the let

The other case was that OF a man in

Worcester. This letter contained no
money, and had only a 2-cent stamp.
