Wilton Has As
Hours More
TO FILE ANSWER.
Trouble at Lothrop's By No
Means Over.

Manager ALT T. Wilton of Lothrop's
Opera House, who was given until 70
O'clock Saturday evening to file with
the executive committee of the Boston
Theatrical Union a statement of his DO
sition regarding the trouble now exist
ing between himself and the force of
stage hands, which he recently dis
charged, has been granted an addi-
tional As hours. The extra time is Civ
en- to Manager Wilton, in order that he
might receive the benefit of Boston's
poor Sunday mail service, which would
make it impossible for letter received
there yesterday to be delivered in good
time.
The executive committee, together
with its announcement Of the extra
time for the manager of Lothrop's, has
made known it's decision, regarding the
men whom Manager Wilton has placed
in the jobs that the old hands used to
have. The two men OF the Lawrence
union, John Static and John Ferris.
must come out, and the committee has
also decided that John Gallery, who is
member of the Pressman's Union, is
not in any way connected with the
Theatrical Union, and therefore he has
in the eyes of the union no business be-
hind the scenes as an employee of any
theatre. Andrew Marley and Charles
Maroney, two of the other new men,
must come out as the members of the
union say that the two are not mem
bers of the Lawrence union.
The announcement of these facts is
mn
erty room of the theatre, when it is
read, and considerable speculation will
be in order over what the final decision
of the matter will be after Manager
Wilton's statement has been received
in Boston.
The discharged stage hands are more
than happy over the result of the in
vestigation thus far, and they are con-
fident that the rest Of the matter will
be decided in their favor. The execu-
tive committee has been greatly aided
in it's investigation by the facts which
The Spy has printed in connection with
the trouble.
What effect the decisions thus far of
the executive committee will have on
the statements from Wilton made for
newspapers during the week, is a thing
which time alone will decide. Manager
Wilton has all along stuck to the in
men whom he substituted, so long as
their work was done properly, and as
long as they worked for the interests of
the house. Manager Wilton has made
claims that the Boston union, to which
the discharged stage hands belong, has
no power to dictate in Worcester, and
that they have no jurisdiction over the
management of affairs in Worcester.
This he claims that he can prove.
So far as this claim goes, the liberty
with which the executive committee
has seen fit to act seems to spoil any
attempt on Wilton's part to make their
interference a violation of the labor
laws. The stage hands at the Worces-
ter theatre all pay their dues to Bos-
ton, and they say that Boston is the
town which exercises the right of juris-
diction over them.
Another visit of the executive COM
mittee to Worcester is this week ex-
peeted.

THE TERMS Of PEACE.
An English View of What This Country
Owes TO the World.
(From the London spectator.)i

tFrom the London Spectator
We prefer. like most civilized per-
sons, peace to war, but some of the ar
guments just now employed to induce
America to make quick peace with
Spain strike US as not only Infounded,
but profoundly immoral. What did
America go to war for? First Of all, to
terminate SPANS authority over her
colonies, which Americans believed to
be tyrannical, destructive of human
happiness, and in all ways bad Wheth-
er their evidence in support of that be-
lief was good, as we believe It to have
been, or as bad as average Spaniards
assert, or as accidental and temporary
as many thoughtful Spaniards main
tain, has little to do with our present
subject. The Americans believed the
charge heartily, and SO believing went
into war which, to all human appear
ance, viii end in giving them the power
to terminate the misrule which so af-
fronted their consciences. A moralist
would say, one would think, that hav-
ing begun so great a. work. they were
bound to carry it through, that they
had contracted Weighty, even ter
rible, obligations toward the colonistg
of Spain, and were bound to discharge
those obligations without thinking too
much Of the consequences to them
selves. They can, if they like, being
Anglo-S axons, give the colonists firm
and lenient government, and, as the
historian will say, in the merest justice,
and out of q, decent care for their own
self-respect, they ought to do it, That.
however, is not the opinion of most Of
our contemporaries either in Great
Britain or in Europe. They are crying
aloud to Washington to be generous in
the hour of victory" to restore to Spain
if not Porto Rico--the value of which as
a naval station they UNDERSTANDABLE all
events, the Philippines.

Painter Tried
Suicide
WITH A PENKNIFE.
G, A. Hardy Sought to End
His Existence.

George A. Hardy, a well known paint
er of this city, attempted suicide yes
terday afternoon by severing. the arte-
ries in his left forearm. But for timely
assistance he would have undoubtedly
bled to death.
The deed was committed in the upper
tenement of the house 10 Salem street,
where Hardy has boarded for the past
four months. His aged mother and his
boarding mistress were in the room
when the deed was done.
Hardy went about the attempt on his
life with the utmost GOODNESS. He rolled
up his sleeves and taking an ordinary
clasp knife from his pocket, deliberately
cut into his left arm. The blade of the
knife is about three inches in length
and had been sharpened, perhaps in an
ticipation of the affair, to almost a
razor edge.
Shifting the knife to his left hand,
Hardy was about to cut into his right
wrist when he was seized by the two
women and the knife taken from him.
His old mother held her sons arm, par
TALLY stopping the flow of blood while
the other woman went for DR.. H. w.
Cronin, whose Office is near by,
DR.. Cronin hurried to the house and
made preparations to dress the wound
but as Hardy talked wildly, saying he
wished it had been his throat instead
Of his wrist, and repeating that he
wanted to commit suicide, it was
thought best to send him to the city
hospital
The police ambulance was called and
the unfortunate man taken to that in
stltution. where he was reported as
doing nicely late last night.
Hardy has been drinking hard for the
past three or four weeks and the at
tempt at suicide yesterday is hooked
upon as the outcome Of a prolonged de-
bauch. On several previous occasions he
has threatened to take his life, and his
boarding mistress took special care to
hide his razor or any other instrument
that might be used in such an attempt
He has been out of work a good deal
Of late and this discouraged him. Only
few days ago he remarked to his
landlady that if she put him out he
would take, his life. The woman says
that she has been UP with him night
after night when he has been drinking
and on several occasions taken knife or
razor out of his hand
Hardy was clearly demented. After
inf1icting the wound in his arm he
laughed wildly, and dabbling his fin
gers IN the plOod, asked his mother if it
wasn't nice and red, at the same time
preparing to sever the veins in his
other wrist.
Yesterday forenoon Hardy told his
boarding mistress he was going to Mill
bury where he had a job of painting.
He left the house, but returned early in
the afternoon with his mother, from
which it would appear that his dement,
ed brain had conceived the idea of hav-
ing his old mother present when he did
the act
