WORCESTER EVERGREENs.
Miss Tucker Talks on Coniferae at Ma
turaI History Rooms.

Miss Arabella fuckers lecture in the
course on trees was upon "Coniferae" yes
terday, and about 40 persons listened with
interest while she explained to them the
mature of evergreens, something of their
history and the different species to be
found in and around Worcester.
In leaving deciduous trees. said Miss
Tucker we are going backward ages, for
eVergreens are less highly developed forms
of tree life. Deciduous trees may be called
at the top of the ladder; evergreens are
several rounds lower down. Then she de-
scribed several important particulars in
which the two differ-manner of growth,
kind of leaves, length of time the leaves
persist. and, most important of all, the
manner of fruiting. She showed how the
architecture of evergreen trees differs
from that of the deciduous. Very inter
esting was her explanation of the phe-
nomenon of falling leaves in autumn, and
of the reason why evergreens do not shed
their foliage in the same way.
Miss Tucker predicted the increasing
scarcity of the evergreen, for already, she
ually. Yet. although ii is at a disadvan-
tage with regard to its fruiting, it has the
advantage of deciduous trees in being able
to stand a greater degree of cold and a
greater absence of moisture.
In conclusion Miss Tucker spoke fully
of seven varieties of coniferae in this
neighborhood-whit pitch and red pines
and hemlock, ground hemlock or yew
and juniper. A number of specimens of
these trees and of lonesome a leViathan

WHO GETS 1T?
Humphrey suIlWan's Relatives Are Anxious
About The Dead Soldiers Money.

The relatives of Humphrey Sullivan
of the 23d U. S. infantry, who died in a
San Francisco hospital, are very anx-
ious to ascertain who will get the
money the government owes the dead
soldier. He has two brothers living in
Worcester and a mother who resides in
Ireland. The Worcester relatives are
anxious that the money be SIT to the
mother.
Yesterday one of Sullivan's relatives
called upon Lieut.. Royden at the re-
cruiting office in the Walker building,
and asked him to give the matter his
attention. The lieutenant informed the
relative that he could not adjust the
matter, and that in his opinion the war
department would follow the usual
course and give the dead mans wages
to his brothers.
If a soldier has a wife and children,
the money due is given to them in case
of death The brothers and sisters of
the dead man become his heirs If he
was unmarried. A mother is not en-
titled. under the army rules, to any
money if brothers and sisters are liv-
ing.
Lieut. Royden says that he did not
know Sullivan. The lieutenant was
detached from his company at the
commencement Of hostilities between
America and Spain, and the Twenty
third infantry are now stationed at
Manila. He advised Sullivan's relatives
to go to Secretary of War Russell A.
Alger and tell him their troubles.

Springs From Darkness Up
on DefenceIess Women.

Another of the misfts masquerading
under the name of man, has made his
appearance in the vicinity of May
street.
The side of the street between Silver
and Woodland streets, where the trees
throw a dark shadow, seems the favor
lite lurking place of this being. and from
this hiding place he rushes out to open
ly insult and in many cases lay hands
on unattended women,
Several young women have been In
suited by the unknown within the past
week or SO, the latest case being last
Saturday night, when a young woman
who works in one of the downtown
stores was passing along May street
between silver and Claremont streets.
AS she was passing the trees at the
King estate the rascal stepped out OF
the shadow and took hold of her. Just
as he grabbed her arm two men were
seen coming up the street. The un-
known saw the men approaching and
dropped the young Woman'S arm, but
toned his coat and ran away
The young woman was too frightened
to tell the approaching men of what
had occurred but ran home. The man is
described as tall, with smooth shaven
face, and wore dark clothes, a long
ulster and cap drawn we'll over his
eyes.
Nor is this the only case of the same
sort that has been reported from this
neighborhood. A young woman who
teaches in the schools of this city has
had an experience with this man and
embodied her troubles in a letter to the
police.
Some time ago q similar case was re-
ported from this neighborhood, al
though the troublesome individual in
this case was said to ride bicycle The
two may be identical, however. At any
rate the police are making an effort to
locate both or one.

M'GRATH OR MALONE.
Montreal Police Think They Know One Of
the North Grafton Burg. ars.

Some time ago the Worcester police
received information from Silas II.
Carpenter, chief of detectives in Mon
ueaI, establishing the identity of the
man known here as McGrath, who was
arrested at the time of the North Graf
ton post office burglary. Chief Car
penter is almost positive that McGrath
is a Montreal man, known there as
Malone.
The burglar has a large mole on his
left forearm, and in answering the let
ter, Inspector Stone mentioned this
mark in addition to enclosing photo
graph of the dead burglar.
A reply was received yesterday, stat
ing that the dead man is unknown in
Montreal and that, as the Bertillion
system was not in use when Malone
was photographed, the mark was I'M
noticed. Chief Carpenter takes it for
granted, however, that McGrath and
Malone are identical He hopes the
Worcester police will keep the man in
Jail for years to come, as he considers
him one Of the most dangerous crimi-
nails Montreal has produced.

The fair which has been successfully
carried on during the past few days
under the auspices of the Woman'S

There was a good attendance all day
yesterday, notwithstanding the fact
that similar fairs were in progress in
various parts of the city. The ladies had
worked hard to make the affair a sue
