bers, actives, all of whom shall, be mem
bers of the League of American Wheel
men and entitled to vote upon all meas
ures before the association; and asso-
clates, who are willing to help sustain
the local organization, but who d not
wish to become members Of the league
and who shall not be entitled to vote
The reading of the report Of the secre-
tary was followed by an informal talk
about the advantages of allying the as
sociation to the League Of American
! Wheelmen. 1t was explained by Secre-
tary Chase that the membership fee of
the association in the l.. A. w. would be
S2, and that its active members would
be members of the L. A. W., though Ii
would Involve the payment of 81 year
for each individual in addition to the
assessment should there be any 1t was
suggested that such action might seem
like freezing out some of the old MEM
berS of the Road Association who were
not l.. A. w. members, and 1t was also
urged that the result of such action
would be to lessen the influence of the
association by making 1t seem as If the
movement behind good roads was en-
tirely that of men who ride a bicycle.
Finally the subject was dropped by
unanimous consent.
In answer to question, Secretary
Chase said the association had about so
lantern slides on hand that had not been
shown, including Views of streets in
Hartford, Springfield and Providence.
1t had been intended to exhibit them
before the election Of street commission
er, but the action of the common coun-
ell caucus rendered it unnecessary. 1t
might be advisable to hold an exhibition
Of them later, to keep interest in the
subject alive.
1t was unanimously voted to make the
annual dues of the association rs cents,
and to authorize the secretary to take
steps to collect them. Those present
set good example to the absent mem
bers, by stepping up to the secretary's s
desk and depositing their quarters. 1t
was suggested that the money could
be easily collected, and that after MEM
bers had contributed they would have
sufficient interest to attend meeting
at which the resignation of the presi-
dent, Charles G. Washbur7l, which has
been pending 10 months, might be le-
gally accepted and new board of Off
GERS elected.
The meeting then adjourned, subject
to call.

KATHERINE RoBER.
The Popular Star Returns to Greet Her
Many Worcester Friends.


Miss Katherine Rober, well and IA
vorably known to our playgoers through
almost innumerable appearances on the
local stage, returned to the city Monday
night for weeks stay, and was well
coined at the Worcester Theatre by the
usual large crowd of her admirers. Miss
Rober travels under most favorable aus
pices this season, having her own or
chestra, a strong repertoire of copy
right plays and company that can act,
at least, some of them The costumes
worn by the ladies were modest and in
good taste, and, while the scenery, for
the most part, belonged to the house
stock, it showed to better effect than
the garish and impossible colors of the
single parlor scene carried by other
popular companies.
The play was "Moths of Society" 9th
wise Ouida's well-known Moths" The
part of the timid, retiring We're Herbert
is not as clearly suited to Miss ROBBERS
style as the other roles in her roper
toire, but she did well with it and
should be credited with a conscientious
and successful effort. During the eve
ming, the star was presented with a
magnificent basket of flowers bearing
/ the legend, 'B. P. o. E." 1t was the
gift of the local lodge Of EllSs, in recog-
milton of the fact that Miss Rober is
now an honorary member of their order,
I having been created such by the Lewis
! ton lodge, the other night.
| Miss Grace Hamilton of this city was
cast for the designing Russian, Nine.
De Sonnez, and read her lines intelli-
gently and acted gracefully. She was
also costumed richly and in good taste.
Miss Hamilton's stage experiences Of
the past few years have improved her
wonderfully as an actress. Belle Gaff-
ney showed herself a capable actress as
/ the vivacious Lady Dolly, and Kitty
/ Bingham made an ingenue role out of
the American girl, Fuchia Leach.
Franklyn Ritehie, with a little more
acquired ease, will make capital lead
ing man in society dramas. He is
good-looking and has quiet though i'm
pressive manner and a pleasant, we'll
modulated voice. The absence of
strut and bombast in his bearing was
refreshing. Harry Driscole caught the
spirit of the blackguardly Prince Zou-
rolf, and Leonard Rowe, Morris Nc
Hugh and w r. Healey filled out the
cast satisfactorily. The idience was
appreciative and enjoyed the perform
ance heartily.
The first matinee of the engagement
occurs this afternoon, with "Fanchon,"
and tonight will present Doris" Effie
Ellsler's old emotional success.

Griggs at her home on Oxford street,

pain that she was momentarily bereft
of reason. The funeral Will be held at
