him in his cell shortly afterward I was

Almost enough has been said about

but the time is past when this fact
counts. / think, however, that the
well-meaning members of the regiment
err in hoping that Rosser will be ac-
quilted, their position being that his
conviction would be a cloud upon all
the troops from Tennessee. The man
is guilty of murder and any trial fail
ing to establish this fact would neces-
sariIy be a sham. The evil was done
when the drink crazed soldier wanton-
ly slew an inoffensive stranger. Such
reproach as was in his power to load
upon the regiment he placed there at
the time of his mad act. To let JUS
tice take an even course, to refrain
from an exhibition of sympathy, from
attempt to excuse or palliate, seems to
me the better way now. If the muir
der was in any measure blot to the
regiment, to assist the murderer to go
unpublished would deepen the blot. l do
not think the Tennesseeans are to blame
for the homicide. 1t is a mistaken
pride which would lead them to stand
by him beyond providing him with
counsel and seeing that he suffers no
unusual disadvantage through being a
stranger in a strange land.

WHAT DOES THE CANADIAN WANT ?

~ NE of the minor questions that have arisen
| out of the approaching campaign is, What
- does R. A. Crothers, the Canadian editor of
the Bulletin, want this year," 1t is known that he
did not to California for his health 1t is
known that he does not support the Republican party
for honor for principle The attitude of his paper
thus far in the present canvass has been OF wait
ing. What is it that he wants?
In the campaign of 1896 when all conservative cti-
zens of the country, Democrats as we'll as Repubi-
cans, aroused to an intense earnestness in the
conflict for the maintenance of sound money Mr.
Crothers the Canadian to the Republican State
Central Committee request for $1,000 as payment for
support of the Republican ticket He did not get the
money. From that time forth his paper was ncessant
in attacking the committee.
During the campaign, and about the time Crothers
trying to work the State Committee for $1,000
the proprietor of The Call contributed that amount
to the committee for campaign expenses. Mr.
Crothers got OF it. Since that time the Bulletin
has shown grudge against The Call as we'll as
against the State Committee
Just about this time last year Mr.. Crothers having
then chance to get money by doing politics, for
there campaign under way decided to replen-
ish his purse by doing the merchants of the city He
thereupon engineered that bunko game by which so
many merchants caught 1t will be remembered
tnat the SWindle was exposed by The Call and that
thereafter Crothers compromised with some of his
victims and abandoned his claims against Others
That another reason for hating The Call and the
hate has been constant
The Call is not yet able to state positively what it
is Crothers wants this year. 1t may be he will try
both games this time, and will not only demand
subsidy from the Republican State Central Commit
tee for supporting the Republican ticket but will try
to work the merchants for advertising in another
holiday edition. He will bear watching and the
watch should be close.

ARLY SABBATH MORNING.

In dear old days up country,
Before 1 went from home,
Oh, very swift and sanity
Did the Sabbath morning come,
With footsteps hushed and quiet,
Whatever wind might blow,
And I'd hear father singing
AS he walked to and fro.
The fragment of a hymn tune
In tender little air
Would early as the dawnlight
Come floating up the stair,
Now martial and triumphant,
Now soft and signing low,
But I'd know twas father singing
AS he walked to and fro.
And in the darkened parlor
Where he knelt to pray,
And crave for us blessing
At the very break of day,
I'd hear his dear voice lifted
From his pure heart ag1ow.
And 1t hallowed Sabbath morning,
AS he walked to and fro.
Long years have passed since father
Sang in those quiet hours;
He's found the happy country
And the fields of fadeless flowers,
But still on Sabbath mornings,
l wake, and soft and low,
! yet can hear him singing
As he walks to and fro.

An anonymous individual sends a
communication to the "Bodkin' editor
and another individual whose name I
kindly conceal, turns it over to me.
Were / the Bodkin editor, the imple-
ment in question should be used in pin-
ming to the wall the anonymous. A
glance reveals that the crank has the
Botkin tragedy in his mind, and very
little else. He desires to show forth
that Dunning is the guilty man. In
order to do this, he makes an ANALYSIS
of the circumstances, quite a superfu-
GUS operation, as the world in this par
ticular had already been sufficiently en-
riched. But the real genius of the cor
respondent is in showing by analogy
that Dunning must be guilty because
Durrant was. Attention is called to
the fact that both names begin with D.
that in each the second letter is u, fol-
lowed by double consonant, and that
the total number of letters in each
name is seven. Could any reasoning
be clearer? There seems nothing left
but for Cunning to surrender.

NOT THE BOILERS.
Only TWO Were Under Steam When the
Explosion Occurred.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The arrival Of
mail in Washington from Key West,
this afternoon, bringing several private
letter from naval officers lately at
tached to the Maine, caused a wave of
excitement, for there were all sorts Of
rumors as to the contents of these let
ters. In point of fact, the only feature
of the correspondence, so far as could
be discovered, that was Of real imports
ance was the statement that the two
after boilers in the after boiler space
where all of the eight boilers of the
Maine there, were under steam at the
time of the explosion. This fact mad
negative value, for it disposed at once
of the theory that an exploding boiler
had caused the wreck
Various interpretations we're put on
the expression, Forward half complete
ly destroyed" contained in dispatch
from Admiral Sicard about raising the
wreck This was regarded as partial
confirmation of the theory that the for
ward magazine had exploded, as that
is one of the most important portions
of the forward half of the ship. AT the
same time it was held by some naval
authorities that the destruction of the
forward half of the ship did not neces-
sarily mean that the forward magazine
had exploded, as this might be still in
tact, although a part Of the general
wreckage.
Capt Sampson's recommendation as
set forth by Admiral Sicard, that a con-
tract be made with the best equipped
wrecking company to remove material,
and lift the snip without delay was in
line with the action already taken

en- officers always present.
This statement disposes of all the al
legations that have been made pro and
con as to the blowing up Of the forward
magazines.
One private letter received here today,
in speaking of the disaster, says it was
all over in five minutes. The writer
was ashore and heard the noise. He
hastily took a boat and started for the
Maine, arriving there in about rs min
utes Then all was quiet and smooth,
and, in fact, in about minutes after
the blast, the Maine was in about the
present condition.
A formal order was made out this af
ternoon directing Lieut.. Commander
Wainwright to take station at Havana
and look after the governments inter-
Maine progresses. 1t has been arranged
that he shall live on board one Of the

Handsome gowns Of black crepe de

small ruf11es of the same, edged with
narrow black silk guipure lace
and set on, one above the other, at the
skirt edge. The waist for a slender mat
ron, can be made in blouse style and
trimmed with stripes of guipure lace in
sertion, edged on both sides with inch
wide lace-the stripes going from shoul-
der to belt; or else, for stouter, more
elderly wearer, the waist may be a
plain-ftted one made more dressy in
effect by a fichu of the crepe de Chine,
trimmed on the edges with double lace
bordered frills of the crepe, a trifie mar

or dark waist, made in full blouse style,
well fitted under the arms, is very often

Monthly Gathering Of Great Interest, Fol.
lowed by COLLATION. at State
Mutual.

The regular meeting of the Worcester
Medical Association was held Wednes-
day evening with collation. at the
State Mutual restaurant. The first part
Of the evening gwas given up to medi-
cal papers with discussion, closing with
an eminently successful experiment,
showing electric trans-illumination
President William t. Clark presided,
and q members, with Secretary A. w.
Marsh, were in attendance The first
feature of the evening was a most inter-
esting and valuable paper upon "Hy-
per-acidity of the stomach" by DR.. E.
A. Joslin of Boston. DR.. Joslin is the
son of Councillor A. L. Joslin of oxford,
and his paper, which showed great orig
inal study and research, was accorded
the deepest attention. After the paper
had been read by DR.. Joslin it was dis
cussed by the physicians present, among
those taking prominent part being Drs.
Swan. Trowbridge, Greene, Getchell and
Kelley. The formal program for the
business of the meeting closed with an
experiment by DR.. Swan. The physi-
clan brought one of his patients into
the room and gave perfect illustration
of electric trans-illumination. A tube con-
tanning an electric light at the end was
swallowed by the patient, and when the
light was on the abdomen was shown
plainly to view. The light within en-
abled the observer to see the minute de-
tails of the abdominal region, and the
physicians were much pleased with DR..
Swans experiment, showing the Won
derful possibilities of the electric trans
illumination. At the close of the meet
ing a dainty collation. was served in the
State Mutual restaurant, which was
heartily. enjoyed by all, the occasion
proving one of the most successful Of
the association.
The next meeting will be held March
