LYcEUM BALL MANAGER.
T. F. o'ReiIIey Elected to That Place at
the Meeting Sunday

Thomas r. O'Reilley was elected man
ager Of the Lyceum base ball team at
special meeting Of the Lyceum Base
Ball Association, held Sunday at the Ly-
ceum rooms on Sheridan street. O'Reil-
ley captained the team of last season,
and Is known as on" of the best all
round players in the city. His position
is short stop, and for tine first part Of
the season he played upon one Of the
Connecticut State League mines
In conversation with a representative
of the Spy Sunday evening, the newly
elected manager said that he believed
the Lyceums would have very strong
team during the coming season. The
Lyceum has been represented on the
diamond with one of the strongest anna
teur teams in this section, and up to
last season were the undisputed cham
pions of the county. 1t is his intention
to place the team back in its old posi-
ton in SO.
Manager O'Reilley is very enthusiastic
concerning the proposed county league,
on which subject he spoke as follows:
There is not the slightest doubt in
my mind but that county league such
as Manager Spaulding suggests in the
Spy could be run successfully The
stronger amateur teams in this section
have for years needed some kind of mu-
tual organization, and I believe the time
is now ripe for action. The members
of the Lyceum Association are unani-
mously in favor of the league, and il 1t
is started, as now seems probable, we
shall expect to get in on the ground
floor and be Worcester's representative
in the combination. The Lyceums are
the oldest team here. they play by far
the best ball of any Worcester nine, and
if the league Is formed, will be in with
the others.
Lam in favor of an eight-club league
and would suggest with the Lyeeums,
Fairmounts of Marlboro, Creations, Mil
fords, East Douglas, Spencer Clinton
and Whitinsville. Here would be a COM
pact circuit of eight clubs. In each
place mentioned, the past season has
demonstrated that there is great inter
est in the game. The travelling eXpens-
es too, would be SO small as to not eat
up the profits.
Some step towards the permanent
taken Immediately. If call was issued
to the managers of the teams in the
places mentioned, l believe they would
all respond, and that the league would
be quickly formed OF course there
might be minor matters connected with
the league that would cause more or
less discussion, such as the schedule
and the salary ltnit. But on the point
of the desirability of league all are
unanimous"

A MEMORIAL SERVICE.
True Reformers Pay Tribute to the Foun.
der of their Order

A memorial service for William Wash
ington Browne, founder and grand wor-
thy master of the United Order of True
Reformers, was held at the John Street
Baptist Church at 8 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. The service was in charge of
the two local fountains" of the order,
Enterprise and Commonwealth foun-
tains, and was very largely attended
John Ringells of this city acted as the
presiding officer. Passages of scripture
We're read by Rev. L. H. Taylor, pastor
of Zion A. M. E. Church, and there was
singing by the choir
The memorial address was made by
Rev. Hiram Conway, pastor of the
church. and his text was taken from
Job, xXxii:9. The pastor paid a glowing
tribute to the memory of this distin-
guished Afro-American, saying that he
had been the Moses to bring $1,000 of his
people into the light The service con-
cluded with an address by G. Alfred
Busby, a member of one of the local
fountains.
Rev. W. w. Browne, for whom the
memorial service was held, died in
Washington the latter part of Deem
Der, and was probably the best known
negro in the country. He was born a
slave in Georgia, but at the outbreak of
the war he Joined the Union navy and
served as gunner on the U. S. gunboat
National, and when mustered out of SER
vice was sergeant major. He became
prominent among his race in Georgia as
Methodist preacher, and left there be-
cause of his prominence in the move
ment which finally resulted in destroy
ing the Ku-Klux-Illan, price having
been placed on his head by that organ
ization. He was said to be worth at the
time of his death $15O,O00. On his DEATH
bed he transferred to the Order of True
Reformers valuable piece of property
at Richmond.
Browne came into national fame by ad-
vancing to the city of Richmond two
months pay for the public school teach
ers Of that city, though the city had no
account with the bank of which he was

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD.
The Reform Club Has Notable Gee brS-
ton Of It's AnniNersarN.

Sunday was the 22d anniversary of the
founding of the Reform Club of this
city, and was made the occasion of
notable meeting in Curtis Hall last eve
ming. This organization has been
potent factor in the temperance work
in this city, and while the members
have not seen the complete realization
Of their hopes, still it has done a great
work and deserves the sympathy of ev-
cry opponent of the saloon power. Since
its foundation, 5000 men have signed
and kept its pledge.
The method of the club is almost en-
urely personal and each member is a
committee of one, appointed to advance
the work. The funds are devoted to the
sole purpose of helping drunkards in
their first efforts toward new life.
William H. Robinson presided and in
troduced, among others, the Rev. DR..
George H. Gould, who spoke eloquently
of the great work accomplished in the
last 20 years. He reminded the audience
that it was in Worcester that John 3.
Cough was saved by a personal appeal;
and said that the applause which greet
ed his speeches in England and America
always seemed to him like the echo of
that friendly tap on the shoulder which
Cough received in this city
Hon. A. S. Roe made stirring speech,
in which he ridiculed the recent attack
upon the Wesleyan alumni who recently
objected to wine at the New York din
ner. He regarded it as an honor that
Delmonico had not cared for the patron
age of the Wesleyan Alumni Associa-
ticn: its members drank nothing. He be-
lieved in no-license. and denied that it
could not be enforced prominent
butcher had recently told him that in
no-license years. there had been more
meat purchased in Worcester than in
license years, and moreover it had been
much more promptly paid for. He re-
scented the ignorant sheer about dry
suppers." which is so common today. He
had had some very pleasant suppers in
his life and they had so far been dry
For two members. John Tanning and
Joseph f. Cunniff, it was the first an
niversary of their signing the pledge
and they were presented with badges
by Mrs Clifford, or Mother Clifford,
as she is known in the club. Altogether
it was noteworthy and impressive oc-
casion, and the club starts on its 23d
year with the best wishes of every

CATHOLIC PARISHES.
Financial Statements Given Out at st.
Paurs and Sacred Heart.


The statement of the finances of st.
Paul's parish for the year ending Jan. l,
was read at 10. 30 o'clock mass Sunday. The
receipts for the year from all sources
amounted to $S745.49, while the expendi-
lures were s7SSS. So, leaving a balance in
favor of the parish of $3.50. st. Pauls
Church is one of the few churches of the
city which is entirely free from debt that
enviable position having been attained two
years ago. Last year a large balance was
left in favor of the church, and now the
amount is increased, go that the balance in
favor of the church is now $6649. &c. 1t is
very likely that some OF this surplus. will
be expended in interior decoration Of the
church, as Rev. DIR. j. J. Power. the pas
tor, has always intended the walls should
be frescoed.
Rev Bernard S. Conaty, pastor of the
Church of the Sacred Heart. made his
financial report for the year of 1897 at the
last mass Sunday, and the parishioners
were pleased to find that the debt on the
church property had been decreased dur
ing the year. The total receipts during
the year amounted to $7l20 of which $4427
was received from pew rentals and slttings
in the church. After paying the current
expenses for the year. there was balance
of 1880, which was devoted to liquidating
the church debt Father Conaty also an
nounced that the recent census of the
parish, which was completed in December.
showed that there were 800 families. with
a total of $500 souls in the parish.

His letter in full was as follows:
Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Ad-

ance with my intention expressed at
the conference of committees on Mon

flee as pastor of this church, the resig-
nation to go into effect at such time as
shall mutually be agreed upon.
Nine years ago, on the first Sunday in
February, I began the work here which
eliminated in the formation Of this
church, my call to the pastorate and
the building up of the church to its pres
ent efficiency.
During the first two years I was en-

and women, with whom, in the main,
have lived in delightful accord.
l have had my full share, also, of the
love AMI respect of the youth and chill

I am most glad that I can lay down
my pastorate with my love and respect
for you all undiminished. Nine years is
a long pastorate as things go in our
modern times. 1t is time that both
church and pastor had change. You
will rally in greater strength than you
imagine under new leader, and I shall
obtain much-needed rest.
While my future course is NOT yet
fully determined, it is certain that l
shall not Immediately resume the pas

Let me say in conclusion that l sin

once to find my successor. No one will
be more glad than the retiring pastor
to see you happily led again by a man
of your choice.
