"After daylight Admiral Ger
vera's chief of staff came aboard
the New York. He said the Mer-
rimac's men were safe and would
be well treated. Officers of the
New York asked to be allowed to
exchange places with Hobson, but
this was not permissible.
"Cervera's officer could not find
strong enough language to express
his admiration for the bravery
of the Americans. His courtesy
and the action of the forts in spar
ing the men struggling in the
water changed our opinion of the
Spaniards and made us think the
stories of their honor and chivalry
not so far wrong.
after daylight we could see
the masts and funnel exactly
where we wanted her. We saw
in the harbor three cruisers, the
Cristobal Colon and lnfanta Maria
Teresa being among them but |
don't know whether the other
cruisers or the torpedo boat de
stroyers are there. The black
thing that some of the officers Of
the ships thought they saw com
ing after them has not been iden-
titled yet, and we are not sure
that any of the destroycrS are at
Santiago.

the commonwealth From the first it
has been a living, vital organ in the
city, a power for good and a help to
mankind. 1t has become a part Of the
city, an institution of which every citi-
zen feels proud. 1t has kept pace in
the onward march of progress from
the tiny settlement to town. the town
to city, and the city to the splendid
municipality, which today stands as a
model throughout the land for good
government pure citizenship and mag
nifcent achievement. In all this accom-
plishment the Worcester churches have
played their part, and Old South a
particularly important one. 1t is fit
ting, therefore, that it should be the
first to receive attention in a series of
articles on Worcester churches, which
are to follow in The Spy.
DR.. Conrad wrote attingly in the
church brochure when he penned these
words:

MINOR CASES.
They Engage the Attention of the Judges
of the Central District Court

At the civil session of the central dis
trict court, yesterday morning, Peter
Frechette VS.. the Damon Brick Com
pany of Brookfield, was the first case
for consideration Frechette claimed
that he made a contract with the de-
PENDANT company on March 20, to enter
it's employ as an engineer at the brick
yard, He continued in their employ
until Oct. rs, and during the interven-
ing time worked % Sundays.
The company agreed to pay him $50
per month and board, and as he did not
want to live in the company boarding
house, he was allowed the sum of 49,
week instead. The plaintiff alleges
that total of s3OS15 is due him for
wages and board.
The defendant claimed they owed
Freehette no such sum, but had offered
to settle with him for SIS. Wood &
Wood for the plaintiff, Herbert Parker
for the defendant
Two civil cases were tried before
Judge Woodward. Andrew II. Scofeld
brought suit against Joseph H. Allen
to recover SIS alleged to be due for rent.

city, this house of worship was open to
all, and it's slender tower pointed up
ward like finger, to the life beyond.
In 1887, the legislature transferred the
rights of the church to the city, and
a committee appointed for the purpose
awarded suitable damages. The church,
thus driven from the home which it had
so many years occupied, was compelled
to seek location elsewhere, and to build
another house of worship. The lot at
the corner of Main and Wellington
streets, where rests the brownstone
edifice of today, was procured. The
cornerstone of the new church was laid
with imposing ceremonies on the
Fourth of July, 1888. In 1889 the edifice
was completed, and upon September
II, 1885, was dedicated to the worship
of the Almighty Coo. The church, with
furnishings. cost 100000.
Old South Church stands with it's
splendid equipment as a model of the
modern church. While it is not institu-
tional it is progressive and fully
abreast of the times in every advance
ment. First of all in DR.. Conrad it has
leader, general as II were, who
stands unquestionably at the head and
directs the movements of the forces. A
score of lieutenants command the vari
Gus companies which go to make UP
mighty regiment ever marching onward
to new conquests for Christ's kingdom.
The church is absolutely united and
there is an utter absence of friction.
The work throughout is conducted with
the utmost harmony and the sincerest
goodwill Without this harmony, this
unity of purpose the church could not
prosper owing to the complexity of it's
work, the manifold organizations and
the large variety represented in it's con-
stituency The church itself is made
the rallying center. Every society re-
CARDS itself as but an arm, an auxiliary,
to be directed by the greater body,
ever willing to serve it's bidding

If the queen of England is correctly
reported her views on American girls
and their marriages with the English
arstocracy are eminently sound. 1t
appears that when first her attention
was directed to these marriages, they
caused her some anxiety, but that now
she is of opinion that the American
girl, with her breadth of education,
and independence adapt herself admit
rably to her new environment, and that
there is no need for alarm or anxiety
on her account. Well said! Over
here we consider the American girl

1t seems a pity that family pride
should have been permitted to play the
prominent part it has in the loan exhi-
bition of the Society of Antiquity. With
space and the time of the visitor both
limited, the interests of the public at
least, would have been better served
had the out-worn family trinkets and
finery which in themselves are neither
beautiful nor interesting. been excluded
from the exhibition. Evidently some
of the ladies in charge have not been
unwilling to make capital out of a DO
sition of authority on the committee.

nary Club met at the Vendome, Bos-

and his mastery of the subject pro-
duced a marked impression ON his hear
ers. Music and social hour followed.
If Lillian Russell closed her
continent engagements in a
hurry and refused to sing at all in
London, perhaps the reason may be

and unvarnished prompter's stage
whisper!'
So much interest has been shown in
the loan exhibition of antiques in Sal
isbury hall, that it will remain open
until Thursday evening, the hours be-
ing from l until 6, and from until 10
p. m.
A partial cataloge has been printed
for free use in the rooms of the articles
in the bed room, parlor and dining
room, so that visitors may learn the
names of the exhibitors and something
of the history of the articles exhibit
ed. Catalogues may be secured as SOU
venirs upon the payment of ten cents
each.
Very many old and interesting ar
ticles are being constantly offered for
the exhibition which for lack of room
have to be refused, but daily additions
are being made. Among the late ones
are a student chair, a high spindle
back, with desk arms, used in Harvard
