modeled-Crigler & Larimore
Will Occupy the Same.

The contract will be let in a few
days tor the remodeling of the office
building situated on Monroe street
and belonging to the estate of the late
Judge George B. Macfarlane. This
building was occupied as a law office
by George Robertson for a number of
years.
In December last Mr.. Robertson
vacated it in order to take possession
of the new building which he had
erected adjoining it and since that
it has been vacant.
Architect 81. D. Hunter has drawn
the plans for the remodeling of the
building, which will be, when ccm-
pleted, one of the handsomest build
ings in Mexico. The present front is
to be torn away and a white granite
brick front, with a large plate glass
window, put in. A skylight is to be
put in and a hallway made between
this building and the Robertson build
ing; and many other handsome and
modern improvements made. The

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin

this tube gets Inf1amed you have a
rumbliDg sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by

THE WELCOME MISSION.
The Appeal to the City Withdrawn and
Aid from Private Sources Solicited.

The Appeal to the City Withdrawn and
Aid from Private Sources Solicited.
The directors Of the Welcome Mission
have withdrawn their petition for an
appropriation, as they find that the laws
of the state make no provision for aid
of the poor, except through the over
seers of the poor Boston, Springfield
and other cities have Wayfarers' homes,
which resemble in many ways the Wei
come Mission, but they are created and
maintained by the overseers of the poor
The petition for city aid received the
most courteous reception at the hands
of the city government, and from the
public at large has come many express
sions of sympathy and approval. The
law of the state, however seems TIC
make it impossible for the city to rem
der any direct or indirect aid, without
very great notifications of the whole
system of administering the charities OF
the city, and this can only be done af-
ter careful consideration
That modification of our city char
tiles should be made in the near future
seems imperative. There is now nc
provision for securing work from those
who receive aid, and the tendency OF
our present system is TO pauperize the
for those who do not belong to the per
manently INDECENT class, who only need
temporary aid to tide them over the
hard place, while there is no attempt
made to give to the weak and discour.
aged moral tonic which will set them
on their feet and give them a new
start.
The establishment of Wayfarers
homes in other cities, with the require.
nent of work for food and shelter fur
nished, threatens to make Worcester a
tramps' paradise and while the author
tiles can guard themselves from impo-
sit1on, there will be no relief for the beg
gfng of tramps at private houses. With
such place as the Welcome Mission
in existence, the kind-hearted Household
der can send the beggar there, with the
assurance that he will be kindly cared
for. 1t is right that such an institution
which is doing for the city authorities
the work of public relief, and for all
the people the work of private charity
should be aided, to an extent at least,
by the public funds, and 1t is expected
and hoped that in the near future some
plan may be devised by which this can
and will be done. In the meantime, the
Welcome Mission is thronged with the
poor, and with the most rigid economy
the expenses of its maintenance are nee
essarily large.
II depends on the generosity of the
people for support They can help by
buying wood from it, by having the
mission teams remove asnes from their
homes, by giving it money.
Visit the mission and inspect
its work Whoever does this
becomes friend, and it's friends are its
supporters. There is no institution in
our city which is doing a more impor-
tant work or which more deserves the
support of all the people
