FRED BROWNS CASE.
He Denies That He Had Done Any
thing Wrong.

Fred Brown, who until a year ago
resided in this city, was brought from
Tuolumne County on Saturday TO an
swer TO a charge of grand larceny pre-
ferred by J. A. Logan, who resides at
900 L street.
1t is alleged by Logan that something
over year ago Brown hired a horse
and buggy of his, and that shortly after
the transaction he left the city taking
with him the outfit
Brown, who was formerly employed
by the street railway co<<pany in this
city, was seen by Record Union re-
porter yesterday. He said he knew of
no reason why he should be charged
with grand larceny, or any other crime
In December, 1896, he had bargained
with Logan for the horse in question,
and had assigned to the latter a one
half interest in life inS<rance policy
he carried to insure the return of the
animal when Logan should call for it.
He said he had taken the wagon with
him when he left the city and as Lo-
gan declined 10 sell it, he had agreed
to pay specified sum for its use 1t
was agreed that he should take the
horse for its keeping and return it to
Logan on demand.
Brown said he went to Placer County
from Sacramento, and from there wrote
to Logan informing him that he had
found a purchaser for tI< horse. He
received no reply from Logan, and sub
sequently went to Yolo County, and
thence to Angels Camp. He had never
claimed, he said, that the property be-
longed to him, and had always stood
ready to turn it over to logan, on de-
mand

MONDAYS PLAYBILLs.

kellar, the great magician, will be at
the Worcester Theatre tonight, pre-
pared to show all-comers what a real
wizard can do. This will include all sorts
of miraculous things with cards, balls,
lemons. handkerchiefs and divers ap-
parently commonplace articles which in
the necromancers hands become de-
lightfully weird and mysterious. The
conjurer further will show how a man
may be decapitated without permanent
injury and as a climax will cause a
group of persons to suddenly appear in
an empty room. This ought to make him
invaluable TO theatrical managers.
Manager Wilton is anticipating a
large addition to his bank account by
the reappearance of the funny Rays in
"A Hot Old Time" at Lothrop'S Opera
House this week This pair drew the
largest weeks business in the history OF
the house at their last appearance, and
as the advance sale has already reached
$500, similar good fortune seems likely
TO await the management this time.
The announcement that the Luciel
family, or at least two of them, are tC
he at the Bijou Theatre this week has
been received with considerable sa it's
faction. The Luciers have been Wor.
cesters leading contribution to the
vaudeville stage, and Joseph R. Lucier
the blind cornet soloist, with his sister
and brothers, in the name they have
won for themselves, are entitled to ranI
among Worcester's distinguished citi
zens. Fred Lucier and his sister, Rosalis
Lucier Straffin, are to give one Of theil
bright sketches this week, and as it i:
the first appearance of the pair here a:
a sketch team, there is much interes
among their friends to see how they
compare with their many rivals in th'
business. New views for the biograpl
and new faces on the stage will fill vi

1t viii Not Contribute TO Art museum, but
VIII Found a Hospital Bed.
The committee from Court L. ]. Pap
ineau, which had charge of the arrange
ments of the recent social, met Sunday
afternoon and settled accounts. 1t was
found that after all bills were settled
there would be balance Of about $50
in favor of the court. This was pleas
ant surprise to the committee, as the af-
fair was held solely with the aim of So
ciability. The committee will make its
report at the meeting of the court Tues
day night.
The matter of presenting statue to
the new art museum will also come be-
fore the meeting Tuesday night and will
be unfavorably acted upon. The officers
of the court declare that the appropri-
alton of any money for such a purpose
would be illegal, and if Court Papineau
is to be represented among the donors
to the museum 1t will have to be done
by popular subscription.
Among Foresters there is scheme on
foot to found bed in a hospital for sick
or injured Foresters, and this project
will also be considered at the meeting
Tuesday night. There are about 250O
Foresters in the city, and Court Papi-
neau believes this too great number
for one bed. AS the membership of the
court numbers about 500 it is more than
likely Court Papineau bed win be
founded In St. Vincent's hospital

TWENTY YEARS AT CENTRAL
Rev. Or. Merriman breaches an Annver-
sary ssrmon-oldest Protestant
Pastor In the City.

Rev DR.. Merriman completed the
twentieth year of his pastorate at Cen
trail Church, Sunday, and at the morning
service he preached an anniversary SER
mon, covering his many years of labor
at the church.
DR.. Merriman is now the oldest pas
tor in point of settlement of any Protes-
tant clergyman in the city. Two of those
who were actively engaged in service
here when Dr. Merriman was installed
at Central Church still remain in Wor-
cester. Both, however, have retired from
active pastoral cares One Of these is
Rev. w I. Sleeper, formerly pastor of
the Summer Street Congregational
Church; the other Rev. B. D. Marshall
D. D., who used to be pastor of the First
Baptist Church.
In the entire county there are but two
Congregational pastors who have been
settled over their present churches
longer than DIR. Merriman. These are
Rev. Mr.. Putnam of Millbury and Rev
Mr., Thurston of Whitinsville. OF the
pastors of che more than 600 Congrega-
tional churches in this state, only % are
older in point of settlement than is DR.
Merriman.
Central Church was very beautifully
decorated in honor of its pastors ami
versary. Potted palms and ferns were
placed about the pulpit, while upon the
pulpit and reading desk were large
punches of roses and cut flowers. DR.,
Merriman's sermon dealt with the
growth of the church, while it had been
under his charge, and in this connection
many interesting figures and statistics
were given. He thought it worthy of
special mention that since the new
church was built and dedicated in 1884,
the church had been absolutely harmon
ious in its feeling

TREATMENT OF ANIMAL S.
A Woman's Criticism of Dr. Hodges Re
marks at AttIeboro

haihS db NttteDOTO
Some of DR.. Hodges Statements at the
state federation of women.s clubs in
Attleboro, last week, were not pleasing
to one of his hearers, who takes en-
phatic exception to them in the Boston
Transcript of Saturday. His remarks
relative to the sufferings of animals
used in physiological experiments, to the
care Of stray cats and dogs in large
cities, especially in Philadelphia, seem
to have given the greatest offense. To
them the lady. Mary F. Lowell, who
says she is the corresponding secretary
of the Woman's Pennsylvania S. p G.
A. (the society to which DR.. Hodge
seems to have referred), makes tart re-
joinder:
There is probably no city in the
United States which has made such
thorough provision for the care Of
vagrant animals as Philadelphia. 1t
contains the Morris Refuge for Lost and
Suffering Animals which rescues many
thousands annually. The woman's
branch (recentiy changed to the Wom-
ans Pennsylvania S. P. C. A.) not only
has entire charge of the city dog pound
humarfely securing and caring for thou
sands of stray dogs. but it also keeps
constantly employed a woman whose
dogs and cats at any time. She faith
fully performs her duty, and is well
known all over the city. Besides this.
new dog shelter has been opened in
the upper part of the city, toward the
support of which tine Woman's Pennsyl-
vania Society is contributing. This So
ciety also supports at considerable ex-
pense large number Of Bands of Mercy
in the city schools and public institu-
tions for children. Altogether Philadel-
phia has more reason than most cities
to be proud of the care it gives to ami
mails. and Prof. Hodges criticism can
only be excused on the ground of ignor-
ance The ambulance owned by the
Womans Pennsylvania Society, one of
the finest ever built, is for the removal
of disabled horses. Owners who are
able to pay a moderate price do So
Those unable to pay are not charged
prof. Hodges investigations concerns
ing the degree of pain inflicted on ami
mails through experiment are no doubt
satisfactory to him, but as very err
roneous information regarding the treat
nent of cats and dogs in Philadelphia
obtained his credence, it is pardonabie
to withhold belief in the correctness Of
his other information, especially in view
Of the fact that not one of the labo-
ratories in which the animals suffered
is open to public inspection. No proof
is given of the painlessness of the ex-
periments; nothing but the unsupported
word Of those engaged in the very work

erary styIe-CompIiment to Eliot.


erary styIe-compIiment to Eliot.
AT the Lincoln banquet, in Springfield,
Saturday night, the principal orator,
Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson of
Cambridge, made an excellent address,
saying among other things;
And when we come to look back upon
what he had done, this man created still
another curious precedent. This man
who had never been to school more than
year taken all together, this man who
had read by the light of pine knots be-
fore log fires, this man suddenly startled
the professors at the colleges and
covery that he was the greatest master
of the English language that America
had ever produced What is there in
English anywhere to compare for the
extraordinary concentration of it's
words the extraordinary beauty and
precision of its sentences, the wonderful
exhaustion Of the subject, in merely a
few para graphs, where is there anything
to compare with his Gettysburg ad
dress? l read it after lifetime of lite
rary work and every time I read 1t l
feel like throwing down my pen and
saying, Who else can write anything
like that in America, anything so good
as that. 1t was the product of the life
time of the man. He put his whole life
into those sentences and there they are
If you cut them they bleed, they are
alive
We know by investigation of his youth
that this miracle of speech was not. so
wholly so as might have been suppose
We know that in his youth he was an
incessant reader of books, that he was
fond of writingCof putting things into
sentences His mother testifies that he
was constantly writing sentences on
shingles, and he learned to write. But
the record of his life is incomplete un-
less as men reared in a better school,
in better trained community, we recog-
nize that here as elsewhere the man of
craftsmanship is the man of character;
that character must attend it.
Character makes the world, and ] re-
joice to observe day by day that in our
oldest universities they are constantly
calling attention both in regard to lite
rary training and speech-making; that
both of them depend upon the character
behind them. Let man have some-
thing to say and a lifetime of devotion
and there's quite a chance that sooner
or later he may say something worth
while. Though | regret to say that
some of my friends who are professors
of rhetoric in universities, while they
teach the doctrine to others, do not give
very satisfactory exhibitions OF it them
selves. / should certainly except the
president Of the university where l was
raised and If I should be asked to say
who after Abraham Lincoln goes most
directly to the point, l should say Presi-
dent Eliot.
