tances In Worcester.

OF Capt. D. A. Matthews, and former
resident of this city, but at present 10
Gated in Northampton, Eng. has been
renewing Old acquaintance in Worces-
ter the past few days. Mr.. Sterkler is
manager of the Northampton Shoe
Machinery Company, and, while well
satisfied with his adopted country, still
clings to the belief that there is no
country like the United States.
Worcester, especially, is his ideal of
the American city. He speaks of the
schools. especially, as vastly inferior
to the educational Institutions of this
country. He sails from Boston for
Northampton Monday.

Friday evening next. Those who have

this talented young lecturer can sur
round any land or people who offer any
suggestion of mystery or romance.

next lecture to be given by Mr. Holmes,
and the lecture is a succession of epis-
odes in the daily life of any traveller
who, starting from Tangier, crosses the
treeless, lowering plains of this mum
mified empire, where the language. cos
tunes, customs and appliances of daily
life are those contemporaneous with
that of Grenada and the Alhambra
nearly 1000 years ago. As usual, the
lecture will be profusely illustrated in
color. and win have a series of original
motion pictures.

There was something resembling the
nobility Of Auglo-Saxou conceptions Of
justice in the executions at Gambia. The
old idea of hanging a man who is
malefactOr BY the neck until be is dead
is not a popular one with the brutal and
cruel criminals to whom it is usually
applied. Itpresents to their minds and
to the thoughts Of all who are in any
degree in sympathy with them literally
awful notion Of what justice is 1t is to
be doubted very much whether the axe
or the guillotine, or even death by shoot
ing either according 20 law or in war,
impresses such persons as they are ex-
pected to. Indeed, one may think ofthe
penalty of being hanged as a great in
vention. The Cretan population who
witnessed the execution of seven Moham-
medans BY the British were duly moved
by the ceremony, and it is almost safe to
say that if in the future a Mussulman
mob tries to break through the barriers
of law where an Englishman is, there
will be a manifest willingness on the
part of the leaders to leave the subject of
the Queen alone. 1t is all vory we'll to
talk about the Mussulman's fatalism as
a reason for killing him in battle or for
not angering him. All his religious
principles cannot accustom him to the
idea of swinging defunct on a gibbet

Assistant Postmaster General Shall
lsnberger calls attention to long-st.nd-
abuse IN his annual rsport--the specu-
lation 10 mail contracts These con-
tracts are bid for by persons who have
not the slightest intention Of carrying
the mails themselves. They are then
sublet at ridiculously low figures. and
10 many cases with bad effect upon the
service. Mr.. Shallenbergsr proposes
the true remedy-direet dealing between
the department and the persons who
carry the mails. The law should pro-
vide that contracts for the starroutes
shall only be lie, to persons who are pre-
pared to personally perform the service
only one coatract to each contractor.
The result could no. fail to prove bene-
fetal to the postal service, and would
tend to remove a prejudice in the rural
public mind that government service il
only half paid for. 1t would leave an
army Of specializing contractors out in
the cold, Of course, but that would also
be public gain.

Parsnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatisfied feeling as IL it
must be at once repeated, or if the urine
has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present,
no time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, Inflammation, causing stop
page, and sometimesrepuiri the draw
ing of the urine with instruments, or
may run into Bright's Disease, the most
dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is positive remedy
for such diseases. Its reputation is
worldwide and il is so easy to get at
any drug store that no one need suffer
any length of time for want of it.

wonderful merits, mention The Yale

Are You Ready?

Ready for what? Could you, if op-
portunity presented for you to pass
into the employment of business
house as Cashier, Bookkeeper, Stenog-
rapher or Clerk, accept the position
and fill it satisfactorily?
There are many young men and
women who do not know how even to
word receipt for money; do not know
how to draw draft; how to draw up
a deed, or know what is necessary to
do In case note falls due on which
there is an endorser and the maker
fails to pay; how to keep books by
double entry, or make statement of
business from the books in a very
short time, so, one, even not versed in
Bookkeeping, would understand the
condition of the business.
These are few of the many valu-
able things learned at we'll managed
business college, which help young
men and women to useful education
and remuneratiye employment. If
you desire financial success send for
