COAST DEEENrSENS


The esteemed INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel
has the following to say in reference to
coast defenses: ....... .. ....
'In the construction of Warships the
time of impracticablity has been op-
preached, and now 1t becomes a serious
question whether attention should not
De more earnestly turned TO seacoa ST
h1tfenses. They, at least, are safe rccep
tacles for men, armament ard arnmuui
tom With the coast defended the only
other defense needed would be for ship
ping, OF which We have no great
amount. Possibly its safety could be
1nsurej by speed. with moderate al.yncr
and armament. The problem is one that
Is destined to receive great deal of at
fentfon in the near future"
Coast dafenses are important In, II
is apparent that our contemporary is in
error in considering them the whole
thing. AT strategic points along th,.
coast it is absolutely necessary to have
Qualifications OF sufficient strength to
resist the attacks Of an ordinary power.
ms IS the defensive side of warfare
but when IT comes to offensive opera
lions which have usually been the most
potent influences in deciding wars, bat
tleshlps, cruisers and torpedo boats are
essenti al. In the very nature of things
the 'battleship and cruiser is more valu-
abls than the most formidable coast de-
lenses cen possibly be. for in addition
to being almost as effective in defense
as the stationary fort ii can also be sent
out to harass and capture the vessels
after they are defeated. ....
Coast defensas are important and the
United States should BE- protected by a
system OF the best fortified tons which
money can erect, but it would be A dan.
gerous policy to neglect that powerful
and important arm of the national gov
erEfnent-r,e navy.

HE SOUGHT DEATH.
Edward F. Barney of Springfield Inhales
Gas at Commonwealth Hotel

Edward F. Barney of Springfield COM
mitted suicide at the Commonwealth
Hotel, Wednesday morning, by inhaling
gas. Every precaution was taken by
the man to insure the success of his
plan. and before retiring, he attached
one end of a rubber tube to the gas Jet
and securely tied it with a towel The
other end he placed in his mouth, and
then laid down to die. The cause for
the deed is not known in this city. Bar
ney was frequent guest at the Com
monwealth, and when he arrived, sun
day, he appeared in his usual spirits
Tuesday night he went to his room
about 1890 o'clock, accompanied by two
friends They left at midnight, and
were the last to see Barney alive. The
mans absence about the hotel was noted
Wednesday by Clerk Edward f. Doran,
and at noon he sent a boy to call him.
No response was received to the knock,
and at / o'clock another fruitless at
tempt was made to rouse the guest.
This failing, the door was forced, and
the man found dead. The body was
removed to Sessions undertaking room
and visited during the day by friends.
No arrangements were made for the
burial. but the body will probably be
taken to Springfield today.
Barney was we'll known in this city,
and at one time resided at the Common
wealth for two or three years. Since
then he has managed a hotel at Haz-
ardville, about 10 miles from SPRING
field Lately he has been proprietor of
a museum in Springfield.

LENT COMES IN.
Ash Wednesday Services at the Catholic
and Episcopal Churches.

Wednesday ushered in the season of
Lent, and for the next forty days, the
people of this city as well as those all
over the world, who are religiously in
clined, will forego their usual. pleasures
and give their attention to church-going
and acts of penance. The season is, of
course, the most solemn of the calendar
Of the Catholic and Episcopal churches,
and the services in the local churches of
those sects, Wednesday, were in keeping
with the character of the day In all the
Catholic churches there were services
morning and evening, at both of which
the ceremony of placing ashes on the
foreheads of the people took place. The
evening services included short sermons
on the season and the proper manner of
observing it.
The special Lenten services for the
most part will be held every Wednesday
and Friday evening during Lent, but at
st. Stephens Church, the services will
be held Tuesday and Friday evenings,
and at st. Paurs the services will be
held on Friday evenings. A three weeks
mission in charge of the redemptorists
will be held at st. Johns Church, be-
ginning next Sunday at the 1890 mass.
and a two weeks mission will close the
Lenten season at st. Joseph's Church.
In the Episcopal Church special ser
vices were also held. AT All Saints, there
was morning prayer, followed by a COM
munion service at 1890, and after the
latter service, there was a sermon on
THE open door, by Rev. DR.. A. H.
Vinton. In the evening Bishop Law
renee preached his annual Ash Wednes-
day sermon.
At ST Matthews, the special services
were held at and $50 After commun-
ion, Rev. Henry Hague preached short
sermon on the season. The following
speakers have been secured to deliver
the remainder of the Lenten sermons
at ST. Matthew's: March 2, Rev. W. S.
Chase of Woonsocket; March 9, Rev. F.
A. Brown of Leominster; March 16, Rev.
George s. Pine of Marlboro; March %,
Rev. DIR. A. H. Vinton of All Saints;

preached by Rev. Eliot White, and at

lerbarger. He said, in answer to the
charge that the mails had been late
NEARLY every day since July 1st, that
the records showed that this had oc-
CURED only twice since July 1st.
Mr.. Smith did not intend to be turned
down in that fashion, and sent the letter
to Postmaster Lyman d. Thurston at
Leicester. He keeps a record Of the
time that the mails arrive, and when
they are sent off every day, and sent a
copy to Mr., Smith. By these. it was
shown that the mails had been late
nearly every day, and that it was a
rare thing to have them arrive on time
A letter was obtained from Postmaster
j, Evarts Greene at Worcester, uphold
ing Mr.. Thurston; and all the doeu-
ments were mailed to Washington on
Wednesday,.
LIGHT SHINES AGAIN.
The cheerful ray of the electric light
once more illumines the dark houses of
Leicester; and the tallow candle trade
is on the wane. The house service was
repaired Wednesday, so that all houses
on Main street were supplied as far as
the Catholic Church. On Rawson street,
where all the poles were broken, the
stumps were moored to fence rails and
tied with rope, and the wires are strung
as we'll as possible.
Walter G. Watson of the Rawson
Electric Light and Power Company told
a Spy reporter. Wednesday evening,
that it was expected that all house
lamps in the centre village would be
supplied by Thursday night. Subscri6-
ers in Rockdale and Cherry Valley will
receive samples of the welcome Juice
in two or three days, and it is hoped
that the streets will be lighted in a
week at the most. The company has
been running ten years aud Mr. Wat
son says this is the worst storm they
have ever experienced. The new dyna-
mos at the power station of the Worces-
ter and Suburban Street Railway Com
pany will be in working order by Sat
urday or Monday, and then makeshifts
for poles will not have to be used.
REPAIRING THE WIRES.
Two parties of linesmen>were at work
in town today, repairing the wires Of the
New England Telephone Company, one
between Leicester and Spencer, and one
between Leicester and Worcester. Only
two wires had been strung on Wednes-
day night They are tied on to the
stumps of poles with wire and in some
places are strung on the electric light
companies poles.
THE TOWN WARRANT.
The town warrant this year contains
only two especially important items,
the article relating to building new
fire department house and the one re-
garding macadamizing Pleasant street.
Pleasant street is very wet and muddy
in the spring, and the residents and all
who use it are disgusted with the past
condition of the road. Though the war
rant contains fewer articles, it is esti-
mated that the total amount asked for
will amount to about the same as last
year.
The fire department asks for $500, in
stead of $500 last year; the school COM
mittee axis for $4,000 for support of
schools, $4,000 for school contingent and
$500 for carrying pupils, which is an in
