Outline of the Present Situation in Black
S.one Valley Town.

Outline of the Present Situation in Black
S.one Valley Town.
Uxbridge, Feb. 1S.-About a week re-
mains before the time when the eau
cuses of the republican and democratic
parties will be held. In the meantime
the qualifications of the various can
didates will be discussed and the usual
work done by the friends of the several
aspirants for the various offices The
town committee of both parties have
decided to print caucus ballot, and
any one desiring to have his name APP
pear on the ballot of either caucus or
any one who desires to have the name
of friend so placed on the caucus
ticket, can either hand the nomination
to the secretary of the republican town
committee or to any member of the
democratic town committee. This year
the republican town committee should
be commended for not following the
bad example of the same committee for
the past two years in allowing none but
the names of republicans appearing on
the caucus ballot.
John E. Sayles, the chairman of the
selectmen, is not a candidate for re
election, and there will doubtless be
several candidates for that position.
Prominently mentioned for that position
are the names of l.. NJ Gaskell, c. Ed
ward Blanchard, Charles w. Scott and
Edward ]. Prest Mr. GasAell has held
office before as he was for several
years member of the board of assess
ors and he has many friends in town.
c. Edward Blanchard is member Of
the school committee and was can
didate for the republican nomination for
selectman last year. and was defeated
by few votes by A, F. Aldrich. Mr..
Blanchard, although member OF the
republican town committee, filed nom
fnation papers and ran as an independ-
emf candidate and was defeated. He
has many strong friends, while he has
many opponents in the republican par
ty who would spare no effort to bring
about his defeat if nominated.
Mr.. Scott and Mr., Prest are both pop
ular and have both been honored at
the polls. Mr.. Frest was the democratic
candidate for town clerk few years
since and on the returns was declared
elected by one vote, but was counted
out on the recount. He was elected
auditor two years ago and is sure to
poll a big vote if his name is presented.
Mr. Scott is the present auditor and
has good backing for selectman.
Jonathan Crocker's time expires as
overseer of the poor, and it is probable
that he will not receive serious opposi-
ton for reelection.
Daniel Wheeler will probably be
candidate for reelection as assessor,
but will be strongly opposed.
Charles H. Bates and Charles c. Ca
pron's terms expire as trustees of the
public library. Mr.. Bates is not a cam
didate for reelection.
OF the school committee, stephen
and Ephraim Browns terms
expire 1t Is not known whether either
will be a candidate for reelection.
1t is not known whether the opposi-
ton to Town Clerk Parker will result in
producing an opposing candidate or not.
1t is rumored, however, that he will re-
ceive the nominations of both parties.
Rev. t. ]. Sullivan recently delivered
an impressive eulogy on the late Jere-
miah Daley at st. Mary's Church.

SHREWSBURY.
CONTEST CLOSED.
Men Receive Leather Medal and WON
en- Will Provide Supper.

The second contest in the grange to
see which could give the best entertain
ment, ladies' or gentlemen, came off
Thursday evening. The committee APP
pointed to judge the contests awarded
the prize, very large and attractive
leather medal, to the gentlemen--so the
ladies will have to furnish a supper.
The affair opened with a farce which
was very well rendered, the characters
being all in black face. There was
singing by a chorus and accompaniment
by piano and orchestra, 1t all con-
Guided with a cake walk, some 'of the
most attractive ladies being represented
by Messrs. Rice, Davis, Marston, Bart
lett, Carey, Brigham. Among the gem
tlemen were Messrs. Goddard, Gates,
Hone, Pratt, w. E. Knowlton, Howe.
e. L. Knowlton, ]. H. Knowlton and
others. The cake was a most elaborate
and large-sized affair, and all proceeded
very properly until one couple gyrated
too near it, and the lady fell into it,
and proved it to be simply a tub filed
with white suds which all took for FROST
ed cake. The entire company of per-
formers were in black-face, with very
esthetic costumes and caused a great
deal of merriment.
The high school benefit entertainment
by the w. P. l. Glee and Banjo Clubs
took place Friday night. The hall was
well filled for the concert, and a large
number staid to dance till late hour
The proceeds go toward further appara-
tus for the laboratory. Mitchell's Or
chestra furnished music for dancing.

The jokes of the Klondike MINISTRIES
were greeted with enthusiastic applause
and while the personal hits and roasts
were a trif1e severe in some instances,
yet the victims at whom they were
aimed attempted to smile good natured-
| ly and took their medicine with good
grace. Eighteen African coons seated in
| a crescent on the stage presented a very
| funny appearance to the audience when
the curtain was drawn at o'clock. The
singing was fine, and the voices in the
choruses blended smoothly. The audience
was not wearied with long and tire
some program. Each number was
worthy Of the hearty applause which
followed The marked feature of the en-
tertainment was the original wit and
humor giving evidence that comedy
lovers need not leave their own town in
order to be amused. The program was
as follows:
Overture. Electric" company; song,
Sleeping in the Klondike VALE" w. H.
Ratigan; song, "Rastus on parade"
Miss Mae Griffin song, 1.-THE mother Of
| the girl love" Martin Ratigarf; song,
de gospel raft" j. H. Burke; song,
THE darkies' Jubilee" Miss Mary Mar
tin; song, my old Kentucky home"
Fred Lupien; song, MY coal black
lady" Ed. Goodness; finale, Get your
moneys worth" company.
The MINISTRIES were: Interlocutor,
Martin Ratigan; end men, John J..
Burke, William Ra.tigan and Orvid Nit
chell on the bone side, and Ed. Good
ness, Mary ). Martin and Cora A. Crit
fin as tamboes; in the circle were
Mary Whalen, Teresa M. Donohue,
Mary E. Silk, Julia Norton, Lizzie Nc
Carthy, John Williams, Frank Carpen-
ter, Fred Lupien and George
Woodbury. For original wit and
l.humor John J. Burke of Brook
field, was easily the feature of the pro-
gram. After the program was conclud-
ed, W. A. Prouty's Orchestra played for
dancing, John H. McKenna was prompt
err. The floor was hardly large enough
to accommodate the large throng OF
merry dancers. The entertainment to-
morrow night will be given by the Spen-
Ger Banjo Club. After the concert there
will be a prize waltz and Spencer
dancers would be pleased to have Wor-
cester walters represented in the COM
petition.

The studied efforts of officers of the
Inflated Maine to withhold from the
public any opinion they may entertain
on the DISASTER Is undoubtedly correct.
but the effect OF 1t is not, as intended.
to allay suspicious that may have
taken hold OF the public mind. Peo-
pie VIII naturally conclude that the
silence Itself Is suspicious. II the
officers are convinced that the loss of
the vessel was due to accident. there
can be no harm done by saying so.
unless indeed the explosion might be
traced to the criminal neglect of some
body on the other hand, If they
believe In the theory of foul play, dis
erection would command silence until
the proofs are furnished.
The disaster in the harbor of Havana
has called attention again to the naval
strength of the United States. The
navy now consists OF four battleships
of the first class. one of the second
class, two armored cruisers. sixteen
cruisers, fifteen gunboats. six double
turreted monitors, one ram. one dyna-
mite sunboat one dispatch boat, one
transport steamer and five torpedo
boats. In addition to these there are
siXty-four other naval vessels. used
for training and naval reserves. and
about twenty subsidized steamers, and
a number of large merchant steamers
at any time.
The United States is stronger than
Spain on the seas, and when the new
are completed this country
will be the equal of Germany in naval
strength, only England, France. Rus
