CHURCH SOCIETIES BARRED
No Distribution of Funds of Board Of Chill
dren's Guardians.
Ruling by Acting Controller of the
Treasury Affecting an ApprO-
priatiOn of $4,000.

The acting controller of the treasury re-
plying to an inquiry of the District Com
missioners. has advised them that no part
of the sum of $4,000 appropriated by Con-
gress for disbursement by the board of
children's guardians can be paid to any
church or religious denomination, nor to
any institution or society which is under
sectarian or ecclesiastical control.
The communication of the acting con-
troller is as follows:
L have received your letter of the 2Sth
ultinlo, asking whether the board of chill
dren's guardians is authorized. in view OF
the clause in the District appropriation act
OF March g. 1897, CO Stat, 6S3). to contract
with sectarian institutions for the care OF
wards of the board.
Provision of the Clause.
1.-THE clause in question is as follows:
And it is hereby declared to be the
policy of the government of the United
States to make no appropriations of money
or property for the purpose of founding,
maintaining or aiding, by payment for SER
vices expenses, or otherwise, any church
or religious denomination, or any inStitu-
ticn or society which is under Sectarian
or ecclesiastical control; and it is hereby
eTacted that, from and after the Goth day
of June, 1898, no money appropriated for
charitable purposes in the District of Co
lumbia shall be paid to any church, or re-
ligious denomination, or to any institution
or society which is under sectarian or &C.
cleSiaStical control
The appropriation for the maintenance
of the board of children's guardians con-
tains the following provision:
For care of feeble minded children;
board and care of all children committed
to the guardianship of said board by the
courts of. the District, and for the tenn
porary care of children pending investiga-
ton, or while being transferred from place
to place, $4,000
This appropriation Is found in the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation act for the
fiscal year. ending June 80, 1899. In that act
are many appropriations for certain inSti-
tutions which are understood to be under
sectarian control. They are the same APP
preparations that have been made from
year to year The clause in the act of
March 3, 1897, declaring the policy of the
government in regard to appropriations for
sectarian institutions, is not involved in the
question which you have submitted.
Permanent Legislation.
THE latter part of the clause, however,
which enacts that after June 80, 1898, no
money appropriated for charitable pur-
pc ses shall be paid to any institution I'M
der sectarian control, is permanent legisla-
tion and, in my opinion, applies to the
present case. The appropriation for the
beard of children's guardians Is an appro-
priation for charitable purpose and should
be expended in conformity with this law.
Il have the honor to advise you. there
fore, that no part of this appropriation can
be paid to any church or religious denomi-
nation, nor to any institution or society
which is under sectarian or ecclesiastical
control -

The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-10-27

A few years ago a New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic: rs Marriage a Failure" The
answer is easy and upon the surface Where
there is mutual love and respect, if there is
also health, marriage is a success. When
health is LEFT out even the most ardent love
does not count and marriage is invariably
a failure.
Modern science has cried the warning
so often that all should realize the dangers
of wedlock to people in ill-health. In a
case of this kind death turks on every side
in the kiss of betrothal and the caress of
the honeymoon. The man who is suffering
from ill-health Is physical bankrupt and
has no right to condemn a woman to be his
nurse for life and the mother of babes that
inherit his physical weakness. DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery acts directly ON
the digestive organism. II makes it strong
and its action perfect. When mans di-
gestion is all right his blood will be pure;
when his blood is pure his nervous system
will be strong and his health vigorous.
woman who suffers from weakness and
disease of the delicate organism of her sex
is certain to suffer from general iH-health,
and to be an unhappy, helpless invalid aud
a disappointment as wife. Her children
will be weak, puny and peevish. A happy
home is an inpossibility for her until her
health is restored. DIR. Pierce's Eavorite
Prescription cures all troubles of the dis
tinctly feminine organism. It cures them
speedily, completely and permanently. It
fits for wifehood aud motherhood. Both

STRUCK BY TRAIN.
Charles Russell Meets Death in Front of
Consolidated Train.

Charles Russell, employed in the ma
chine shop of Reed & Prince, was
struck yesterday morning by a passen-
ger train from Providence, due in this
city at 6.95 o'clock, and received such
injuries that death resulted in only a
short time. Russell was walking along
the railroad track. in the vicinity of
Cambridge street place, when the en-
CINE struck him.
He was thrown several feet ahead of
the engine, landing on the roadbed in
an unconscious condition, and death
came while the unfortunate man was
being taken in the train to the depot
Russell died when the train had hardly
more than started, and on arrival at
the depot he was taken to the under
taking rooms of Sessions & Son, there
to await identification.
Russell was walking along the rail-
road track, as he has been in the habit
of doing, and he was unable to get out
of the way in time. The train was go
ing at a rapid rate, and it struck the
man squarely in the back, hurting him
into the air.
The body was viewed by Medical Ex-
aminer Baker.
included a severe blow on the head,
which caused deep and serious look
ing cut, bad bruise over the right eye,
and big cash in the center OF the fore
head, besides a general bruising up of
the entire body.
Russell wore a we'll worn but not
shabby suit of Clothes looked clean and
was neat, so far as his every appear
ance indicated.
During the hours of the morning no
one appeared to identify the dead man,
and it was o'clock yesterday after
noon when people first learned the
mans identity. His brother called at
the undertaking rooms during the af-
ternoon, claimed the body, and made
a few general arrangements for the
funeral.
Russell was % years of age, and he
was married, having a wife in Poland.
He resided at 694 Millbury street.

COULDN'T APPEAR.
So the Case Was Continued Until Welch
sobers off.


Judge Utley had an interesting day
of it yesterday in the central district
court, his most interesting prisoner be-
ling Frank A. WEIGH, As, residing at
Mortified street. Lately Frank has
been enjoying himself by getting drunk
and making his presence at home any
thing but pleasant.
When the case of WEIGH was called
Captain Matthews stated that the pris-
oner was not sufficiently, recovered from
the effects of his recent spree to be
placed on trial, and on his suggestion
the case was continued to this morn

LoTHRoP's BILL.
George w. Wilson Continues His Work
of Amusing Worcester Audiences.


George w. Wilson Continues His Work
of Amusing Worcester Audiences.
If every playgoer of dozen years ex-
perlence were to compile a roster Of his
10 favorite comedians, the list would vary
greatly, no doubt, but it is a safe wager
practically all of them would contain the
name of the old Boston Museum faYorite,
George W. Wilson This comedians name
has been a household word in New Eng
land for more years than it is discreet to
remember, and his long line of parts es-
sayed and created is marred by not a
single failure or hardly an unfavorable
criticism, That Lothrop's patrons are
being given an unusual treat they are be-
ginning to realize, as the steadily increas-
ling houses of the week shows.
In "Uncle Dudley" the bill for last
evening and tonight, Mr.. Wilson plays
Dudley Fulalove, a sedate old man left
guardian and trustee to nephew,
Charles. The young man is given a thou
sand pounds to be invested in business for
the balance of the legacy is to be paid
over without restrictions, otherwise the
uncle continues trustee as formerly. The
young man invests his capital in a variety
hall, and his struggles to preserve the
secret of his investment and the uncle's
efforts to ferret it out form the basis of
the farce. At the close, Uncle Dudley is
made to save the managerial fortunes of
his ward by winning a prize fight while
under hypnotic influence.
Mr.. Wilson's work as the kind-hearted
but meddlesome old man was in every
way worthy Of his high reputation. The
hypnotic SCENES were made hilariously
funny and the little side touches of senil-
ity and rheumatic pains We're admirably
done.
Miss Cameron as the vivacious niece
who is the arch plotter against the old
mans peace of mind showed herself q
competent actress. and the remainder of
the cast might be accepted as satisfac-
tory. The Herald Square quartet enthused
the house with a lengthy character sketch
during the music hall scene.

FEARS AN ENE MY.
Simon H. shooshan the Candy Manufac-
turer Asks for Police Protection.

Simon S. Shooshan, candy manu-
faeturer and retailer on Main street,
fears that an enemy, whom he names,
and who he thinks is planning revenge
upon him, is trying to injure his bust
ness.
For the past month Mr. Shooshan
has found enough evidence to satisfy
him that revengeful hands were at
| work to hurt his place of business and
| injure, if possible, his custom. Several
times Mr. Shooshan has found his
| screen door cut so that it has been
necessary to secure a new screen en-
| tirely, or to repair the door. Often the
woodwork has been cut and defaced,
This grew apace, until Mr.. Shooshan,
after it had suddenly ceased altogether,
| began to hope that the miscreant
might have disappeared.
| Then came the most unexpected in
| cident of ALL Mr., Shooshan, on reach
| ing the store one morning, found the
rear door of the office mutilated and
beneath the step, and in close proximity
to the shop a bunch of burnt matches,
which had evidently been placed there
for some desperate purpose, but which
| had gone out, failing to work the de-
sired revenge.
He accordingly informed officer Glea-
! son, VINO ADVISED MIN TO consult with
| the police authorities to secure a full
treatment of the situation, and Mr..
| Shooshan Immediately went down to
Lieut.. Johnson at station 1, and asked
| to have the officer whose relief followed
officer Gleason to be on the watch at
| the store to see that it was not burned
or that no further efforts We're made
at the place to satisfy a petty revenge.
| Mr.. Shooshan says that he knows
who the party is, feeling confident that
| it is an Armenian who formerly lived
| in this city, but who now lives in Fitch
| burg. The party in question, SO Mr..
| Shooshan claims, was defeated by him
! in a law suit in this city, and since that
time he. has been revengeful, and tried
in various ways. to annoy Mr.. Shoo-
shan. Mr.. Shooshan did not report the
matter until he found matches at the
store, but since that incident he feels
that most anything is Liable to hap
