OLD ENGLISH CUSTOM.

The English people of Whitinsville, fol-
lowing an old custom in their native land,
had a New Years eve party in Prentice
Hall Friday night, which was largely at
tended and gave much pleasure to all who
were present. The festivities included a
supper, entertainment and dancing. The
refreshments were served in the hall
above the dance room. Music for 7anc-
ing was furnished by the Mendon Cfches-
ira. The portions of the entertainment
We're sandwiched between the dances, and
the program was: Song, quartet, COM
posed of Fred Roberts, Richard Har-
greaVes, Samuel Moss and Albert B!rchall,
"All among the barley" song, "Alone on
the raft" Albert Birchall; song, "Ora
pro nobiS,' Mrs. A. Person; song, "Alice,
where art thou?' R. Hargreaves; duet,
What are the wild waves saying?" Mrs.

Cronin and Williston Mills to the scene,
and they formed a living chain and
worked their way out upon the ice and
rescued the child, after she had been I'M

EVENING SCHOOLS.
Second Half of the School Year to Open
Tomorrow Night.

The evening schools which have been
closed during the Christmas vacation,
begin the second half Of the school year
tomorrow evening. They will be con-
tinued in the same buildings as during
the first half of the year, and with the
same list of teachers. Additional reg
istration is expected, but not of so
large number as to make noticeable
difference. The classes in the element
airy schools will be rearranged to ac-
commodate new pupils who enter at
this time, so that a pupil will be able
to enter to as good an advantage as if
he had entered last October. At the
high school there will be no material
change in classes, though undoubtedly
should a sufficient number of new pu-
pills apply in stenography, typewriting
and bookkeeping, a beginners class
would be organized. In other classes
at the high school, pupils will be re-
ceived now only as they are fitted to
take up the different studies The eve
ming schools continue until Friday,
March 23d The work in these schools
is planned with a view to promotions
of pupils to higher classes at the end
of each half year, and this system has
proved of great advantage to the pu-
pills

would have everything his own way.
President Byrne of the Brooklyn Club
is making a hard fight for life against
terrible odds. Stricken with q malady
that has troubled him for years, he is
at last finding that 1t is getting the bet
ter of him, although he won't admit it.
His physicians do not entertain the
slightest hopes for his recovery. They
say he may die at any moment or he
r1ay live a week or two. Perhaps before
these lines catch the eye of the reader
this beautiful Sunday morning, he will
have answered the summons of the grim
reaper.
The smaller leagues have never had a
better friend in base ball than Charles
H. Byrne, nor will they ever have.
There may be others with the same gen.
erous impulses and determination to do
justice to the little fellows Of a hand to
mouth existence, but there will be none
to exceed in a desire to do right that the
president of the Brooklyn base ball
club had. Absolute fairness to all small
organizations was his motto. If he made
mistakes It was because he read the
lines differently from his friends. All
the reforms of recent years looking to
the amelioration of the condition Of
him.
A characteristic that endeared him to
newspaper writer's who came in contact
with him was that his word could be re-
lied upon. If he was in position where
he could say nothing upon a subject he
was frank enough to say so and when
the time came around when the matter
was ripe for publication he would hunt
up the reporter who first got the tip
and gave it TO him, thus fully realizing
the peculiar nature Of a newspaper
writer's work. He would never betray
an exclusive story if a reporter CHANGED
to come his way with one. If a second
reporter happened to interview him
upon the same story he would get the
facts But IL reporter No. was not for
tunate enough to have the tip, reporter
No. l could be assured that his journal
would go to press with the beat. 1t is
too early to discuss President Byrne's
successor. But Brooklyn will have
team and it is believed that Barnie will
succeed to the general management.

EXCEPTIONS FILED.

Counsel for the plaintiff in the case of
Albert Tuson VS. James NJ. Crosby ct
ais, has filed exceptions to the ruling of
the judge in the case This is the case
in which Tuson sued to recover on an
indemnity bond for bail in the well
known case of Perry Warrington. When
Warrington was defaulted, Tuson had
to pay the county $1,000, and it was to
recover this that he brought suit. The
court instructed the jury that if they
believed that there had been a delivery
of Warrington to Tuson, as the defend
ants claimed there had been when Tuson
was sent to Jamaica Plain where Var
rington was and where he saw him,
then the plaintiff could not recover. The
. exception filed is to this ruling.

On the opening day in San Francisco
the teams played to the biggest crowd
that ever assembled for a game in Cali
fornia. The gates were closed 25
minutes before the hour for calling the
game had arrived, and it took the police
and players some time to clear room
enough to play. The managers took
away from the box Office $50 pounds of
silver in ticket box, and in addition
there was some gold and a few dollars
in notes, but bank bills are very scarce
out there. After that first game there
was enough money TO pay every ex-
pense and bring the party home.

VOLUNTEERS IN CAMP.

The volunteers must congratulate
themselves on the fact that they were
not introduced to military camp life
during the storm of the past few days;
such a storm after they have been in
camp for a month would not worry
them in the least, but at the very first
it would be disagreeable and possibly
result in some sickness.
The civilian cannot see why the vol
unteers who are to be. rendezvoused at
Fort Douglas could not have been al
lowed to occupy the barracks. Com
pany property could not fill all of them;
but they are not to be allowed to oc-
cupy them; camping on the reservation
is about as much of a privilege as
camping ON the public land anywhere
else. The Utah boys can take comfort
in the thought that they have not been
discrimir ated against in this matter
the Colorado volunteers got. the same
kind of treatment; but they were in
camp during the storm. It got so bad
that Governor Adams was asked if he
would not request that the men be al
lowed to occupy the barracks at Fort
Logan, to which he replied: mo in
deed. We once made such request
ard it was turned down. All we can
now do is to make the boys as COM
Portable as possible and that is being
done. As long as the Colorado boys
are in the care of the state. every pos
sible attention for their comfort and
convenience will be extended"
That was the right kind of a reply.
Not to permit the barracks to be used
is seemingly very small thing to do,
and it will strike the people generally
that American volunteers are entitled

MR.. TONNES VISIT.

Mr.. Charles Towne, chairman of the
national committee of the silver Re-
publican party, pays our state visit,
in the course of a tour of the far west
ern states, at the request of Senator
James K. Jones. The object of Mr..
Towne's visit is to speak on the silver
question, and the policy of fusion by
the parties favoring free silver. He
speaks in this city tomorrow night, and
as silver has no firmer friends anywhere
than the Democrats of Utah, we would
advise them to go and hear him. They
have listened to ether distinguished ad-
vocates of a fusion Of the silver forces,
and there is no reason why they should
not listen to what Mr.. Towne has to
say. He is a pleasant gentleman, and
an earnest advocate of silver, and as
such he will be welcomed by the peo-
pie of the state. His meeting will be
held under the auspices of the silver
Republicans.

a CHANCE FOR SPANISH CHIv-
AIRY.

1t is said the Spaniards have no
thought of abandoning the war at this
stage; that while they realize and re-
the Philippines, they are anxious to
meet the American fleet in Cuban
waters and test Spanish metal and
Spanish men against American metal
and American men. They are filled with
the idea that when the two great war
fleets come together in deadly conflict,
victory will perch upon the Spanish
banners. Possibly it might, but no
American believes it would.
The American people have never for a
single moment doubted the superiority
of their fleet over that of Spain. Given
ships of equal power, offensive and de-
fensive, the Spanish navy would still
be very much inferior to the American,
for the reason that it is utterly lack
ing in officers of equal ability. Not
person in Spain believes for a moment
that there is an officer in the Spanish
navy who could have conceived and
executed so daring a plan of attack as
Commodore Dewey did. He astonished
the whole world.
But nothing would be so welcome to
the officers and men of the American
navy as to meet Spain upon the sea
and there test the question of super
iority. 1t is the very thing for which
they long, their one hope at the pres
ent time Their fear is that the Span
iards will not give them the chance for
which they are so eager. Let them send
their fleet over and meet the American
ships on the open sea. We believe this
country would be willing to enter into
a compact TO let one or a number of
ships stand forth as the champions of
the cause for which the United States
entered the war, to meet a like num-
Der of Spanish ships and let the result
of such a battle decide the war. There
never was a finer opportunity to make
a display of Spanish chivalry.

THE DINGLEY LAW UNDER WAR
PRESSURE.

1.-THE Dingley law is holding up well
under the strain of war pressure. The
customs receipts for the month aver
age about half million dollars day
in spite of the fact that importations
have been materially reduced by the
dangers ard disquieting effects of the
war; says the Provo Enquirer. 1t is
doing splendidly. Up TO April %, the
deficit for the month was s11,595,953.
The total deficit to that date under
this heneficent law is $69, 1875. The
extraordinary expenditures for the war
and navy has been made from the war
emergency appropriation of $50,000,0 900
Our Provo contemporary says the
Dingley law is holding up well under
the strain of war pressure. The war
is supplementary to the law in its
protective features; it tends to shut off
Importation, which gives the home mar
ket to our manufacturers; this is the
great object of protection.
The Dingley law has had nearly nine
months trial and as a revenue pro-
Queer it has proved rank failure. Had
no war come it would have been neces-
s&ry to enact further revenue legisla-
ton; but the war has come and now
the legislation is to be enacted. tt will
be very largely of an internal revenue
character additional duties on imports
would be absolutely useless) and when
the war is over it is very likely that
the war taxes will have to remain to
provide revenue to meet greatly in
creased expenditures.
But as the Enquirer says, 1.-The Ding
ley law is holding up well under the
strain of war pressure" Just as we'll
as it did under the peace pressure.
