FHE LATE MIR. BAYARD-A REMI-
NISCENCB.

1t is possible you may care to give
space for the following "Reminiscences
characteristic of the late Mr.. Bayard.
In the autumn of 1886 1 went to Wash
ington, but Immediately before leaving
Lord Iddesleigh, then foreign secretary,
sent for me to his room in the foreign
office and explained he was writing a
special personal letter to his dear friend
Mr.. Bayard, and would l carefully con-
vey 1t to him?
In Washington, my letters" having
been duly sent in to the secretary of
state, on the morning of January II, by
appointment, our minister Sir Lionel
Sackville West, took me down to the
department of state to introduce me
personally 1t was my first sight of
Mr.. Bayard's now well known features
and figure, and as we were ushered in
that fine face was actually bent in tears
over the desk before him, and all he
could do was to point out, lying on the
top of the personal letter from Lord
Iddesleigh, the telegram announcing his
sudden death that morning in Downing
street.
The tragic scene remains vivid in my
mind. AS Mr.. Bayard subsequently eX-
planned, in the Washington negotia-
tions of 1S70-'71, he and Sir Stafford
Northeote had formed a very close and
enduring friendship, and right in the
midst of perusing this warm personal
letter from Lord Iddesleigh came the
chilling telegram of his death.
Mr.. Bayard Rad a large heart for his
friends as well as for all mankind

the subject of the Seven manifesto
tons Of faith" He was followed by Mr..
Sanford who exhorted the audience to
Christ.
While Mr.. Sanford and Mr.. Kenyon
are both powerful speakers, they say
that in their work they do not wish to
appeal to the emotions of their hearers,
but only to their intellects. However
this may be, the emotional side of the
meetings was highly in evidence, at
times during the services of yesterday
and it was no uncommon sight to see a
number of the women listeners in
tears.

movement teaches it is certain that all
the men who are leaders in it and have
thus far appeared in this city, are peo-
pie of a singularly impressive person.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
(From Harner,s Bazaar.

There is an adage that we generally
repeat jestingly which yet contains a
grain of very sound wisdom. We say,
laughingly, 1T Is the unexpected that
always happens; but if we would
think of the things over which we
worry and fret as the may be's' that
perhaps win come to us, and apply our
wise adage to them. we would cease
to worry. For how seldom has the ex-
pected sorrow come to any of u.s. 1t
has nearly always been the blow for
which we did not look that came. When
we have all day watched the cloud on
the horizon with dread forebodings of
the storm which would come from it,
the wind has changed and the cloud
has blown away from us. or else melt
ed into thin vapor and not come near
us at all. How foolish. then. to waste
what might be happy hours in looking
for this or that trouble which may
never come. or, if it does arrive, will
perhaps, after all, prove to be a bless
ing! No trouble was ever lessened by
going to meet it halfway; and If we
are sometimes to have it to bear, let us
not weary our souls and weaken our
wills by. dreading it beforehand

QUEEN LOUISE. AS A MATCH
MAKER.

Queen Louise was an inveterate
matchmaker, and after her maternal
ambition had been amply fulfilled with
regard to her own children, who all
married brilliantly, she loved nothing
better than scheming to bring together
a young couple whom she mentally des-
| tined for each other. Her sound COM
mon sense, great experience and sim
gularly keen perception of character
We're of immense service to her in this
matter, and many of the happiest mar
riages in Denmark-not among the
higher classes of society only-owe
their inception to the tact of the queen.
The English chaplain at court at one
time used to be a favorite object of her
majesty's innocent fun Take a wife,
Mr.. Kennedy" she would say, take a
wife. You know you would be much
happier" Or she would ask, "Well,
have you taken my advice yet Mr..
answer, she would add, with a shake of
the head "Ah, you should, you should.
You know you would be more comfort
able" To the last her love for the
king was perfect, and his gallantry to
the queen at table was ever that of the
young husband rather than that of the
octogenarian soIdierking
The queen of DenmarlS's morning
after her breakfast alone, or in cozy
seelusion with the king-was always
devoted to her voluminous family cor
respondence (she was famed as letter
writer), broken often by visits from the
merry young branches of the family
on their bicycles from Charlottenlund.
In the afternoon a drive with the king
was the rule-generally along the sea
road, and dinner was never later than
6, very often earlier. Conversation,
music or the games filled in the evening,
and at $50 the family met in the
queens apartments for tea, "smorre-
brod''-a sandwich with only one piece
of bread. AT IL the day ended for all
in the palace. Such was the simple
daily life of the queen and her hus-
bandit is well nigh impossible to
speak of one without the other OF
their love for their children-for all
children-one has no space to tell; but
as q well-known Danish writer said,
Animals and people alike worship
their king in Denmark" And if one
substitutes queen" for king" one
sums up in that phrase the general
feeling of the nation toward Queen

SYMPATHY FoR DEWEY
Expressed by English officers at Hong
Kong Before Going to Manila.
(From the omaha Bee. }

NHIOiu the omaha Bee
Gen. E S. Johnson of San Francisco.
received from Hong Kong a letter from
a friend telling of the feeling in naval
circles there prior to the departure of
Dewey and his fleet for Manila. Gen.
Johnsons friend is a member of Hong
Kong's SWEETEST English club Dewey
and his officers were guests at the club
while they were in port. Dewey with
his bluff, hearty and outspoken man
ner, was a favorite of all the English
officers at Hong Kong, as well as the
other men at the club.
When the commodore of our Asiatic
squadron received orders to sail, the
Englishmen were sincerely sorry for
him. The British admiral was outspo-
ken in his sympathy.
Commodore" said he, at the club,
the night before the fleet sailed, you
have my best wishes and sympathy. If
you ever meet that fleet, they will wipe
you off the face of the earth"
Dewey was just little piqued, but
he took the admiraPs expression in the
spirit in which it was intended.
Admiral he replied, "if the Span
iards wipe me off the face of the earth,
they will realize that 1 was once on
EARTH
When the news of the victory in Ma
Mia Bay reached Hong Kong, it was
doubted. At the club it was pooh
hooed as preposterous. Not that the
best wishes of the members were not
with the Americans, but the result
seemed incredible.
"Oh, you don't know Dewey" said
Gen. Johnsons friend, in answer to
their incredulity.
When the news was confirmed two
days later" he wrote, 81 was the big
gest man in Hong Kong. My chest
went out foot and l was twenty
years younger You should have seen
me strut, and every one in Hong Kong
touched his hat to me. Wait till
Dewey comes back here. He will own
the town.

ORGAN RECITAL.
Main Street Baptists Have Most Enloya-
be Concert.

The grand organ concert" conduct
ed under the auspices of the ladies of
the Main street Baptist church last
night was a conspicuous success. The
program included, besides several selec-
tions rendered by Mr.. Gaylord on the
new organ that is the pride of the re-
Gently remodeled edifioe, vocal num-
bers by some of the best and most ia
vorably known artists in the city. The
audience was a large and more than
ordinarily appreciative one, and it ex-
pressed its satisfaction at the efforts of
the talent it was privileged to listen to
by frequent encores, which were, how
ever, rarely granted on account of the
length of the program.
The soloists who took part in the
concert were Mrs. Ada l.. Harrington,
DR.. Paul c. w. Dufault. Mr. Joseph r.
Rogers, Mr.. William A. Gaylord, Mr..
Charles H. Grout and Mr.. Walter B.
Eaton. All these are prime favorites
with Worcester audiences, and COM
ment on their work is unnecessary, be-
cause it is SO well known already. Suf-
flee it to say that they never appeared
to better advantage than they did last
night, nor We're they ever greeted by
a more cordial and kindly disposed au-
dience. The program which was rem
dered was as follows:

WAKING WARM.
Clinton Post Office Contest
Assuming Shape.

Clinton, Oct, 25.-The post office con-
test is waxing warm, and everybody is
talking about candidates chances. Va
rious petitions are out and are being
literally signed. S. Ives Wallace de-
clared today to the Clinton correspond
ent of The Spy that he was not can
didate for postmaster. He said that he
had entered the representative contest
In this district to win, and could not
spare the time to enter the postoffice
affair.
1t seems pretty nearly certain today
that a caucus will be called of the
townspeople, to get the feeling of the
voters regarding their choice for post
master. 1t is believed that Warren
Goodale is behind the scheme and it is
said that Congressman Weymouth fa-
vors this method.
The candidates who are hustling the
petitions are Charles L. Stevenson and
Charles A. Burdette.
The Claremonts of Worcester will
play the Clinton high school at foot ball
Saturday afternoon.
For some inexplainable reason, the
Clinton letter for The Spy failed to
reach it's destination tonight. Hence
the scarcity of news in this issue.

THE BREWERY.
Creditors viii Decide Its Fate at Today's
Meeting.

The rumbling before the storm was
heard yesterday by the committee of
safety, or the committee of five of the
more prominent creditors of the Wor-
cester Brewing Company, which met
and tried to reach upon report to be
presented at the meeting of all the
creditors, which has been called for 2
O'Clock this afternoon, and it will prob
ably be decided whether the brewery
company is to continue under it's pres
ent regime or is to have q. new man
agement, although there will be the in
evltable request for more time.
The committee of five met in the Of
flee of Henry F. Harris, ESQ, and ii
was II o'clock before Mr.. Harris, who
is secretary of the investigating com
mittee of creditors, appeared at his Of
f1ce door, preparatory to departure for
home. All who came from the office
were very reticent as to the progress
made in the report to be given today,
and one of the committee told Spy
man that he did not know whether a
report would be presented or not
The committee was pretty we'll ia
tigued with their work, and did not
look at the close as il their further in
vestigations into the actual assets and
the expectations that had at first been
raised The committee will appear be-
fore the general meeting of the credit
OPS, and will be then subject to rapid
fire examination upon the results OF
their more ample examination into the
affairs of the company.
Mr.. Harris said that the sentiment of
friendly interest towards the concern
and its local managers had not chang

quarters there have been rumors that
If the business was to continue with
the full approval of the majority of the
creditors, the present management won
creditors, the present management
would have to give way TO new,
which might infuse a more successful
spirit into the business.
However, A. G. Reimold, who has
been in conference with the creditors,
with his counsel John r. Thayer, is
regarded with favor by many Of the
creditors individually, and the business
may continue with him.
The committee is decidedly against
extending the time of the company in
the redemption of its notes to the pc
riod of two years, which had been ask
ed, but it is understood that the cred
! itors prefer a shorter and quicker linn
I it so that their full financial interest
in the concern may be known at once
While the committee of five has beer
busily engaged in its investigation the

determine further time for examina-
/ ton, as the creditors wish to act on q
| full report. There is not a complete
unanimity among them, and when tne
committee speaks interesting develop
ments are expected to follow. All cred
| itors of high and low degrees have been
notified to appear at the meeting for
| decisive action.
