The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-12-08

Eugene V. Debs' social democracy
has won its first political victory in the
east. The socialists who have elected
Mr.. Chase mayor and got control Of the
entire city government of Haverhill,
are not the socialist-labor party, whose
vote has been increased SO conspicu-
ously in the past two years. On the
contrary, they are of the Debs stripe.
They practically wiped out the old So
cialist party, for this faction cast only
IS votes, while the Debs party elected
their candidate by plurality of 400.
Doubtless all socialists are of about
the same color. but it is instructive to
note that Mr.. Debs' missionary tour of
Essex county has borne fruits.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-12-08

Senator Vest of Missouri thinks that if
he can get the Senate to declare that
there is no authority in the constitution
for the establishment of colonies, but
thatall territory acquired must be eligible
to statehood, he will set up a formidable
obstacle against the annexation of Por-
to Rico and the Philippines. The best
judicial and legal opinion in the coun-
try has been quoted in favor of his
position, but it looks as if that no
longer counts as once it did. If the
constitution stands in the way, it is
going to be bent and licked into shape.
It would better be amended than that
these new possessions should ever be
allowed to elect senators and represent
tatives to the congress of the United
States.

is crimes committed in the country. I'M

from above. To support the door. a

A simple cross, NJ, also oflath, supports
the door. 1t is tied to the door at one
end by a string and othe trigger at the
other. The trigger is n small notched
stick shown at c which passes through
an inch hole III the top of the trap near
the back end. On the front edge of the
hole, d, a piece of hoop iron is nailed
and the door is supported at any point
desired by hooking the notchcs in the
trigger on the hoop iron. The rabbit or
other pest, who in cold weather is al
ways hunting u warm hole, crnwls into
the trap, and pushing ngains, the trig-

mo. sir; no such bird ever lived.
Look at that combination of colors.
Nature isn't good enough as q pattern
for these milliners. They must make
impossible combinations and devise birds
whose co.ors and shape would give an
~ornithologist the nightmare"
The Young man glared. The wcarer
of the hat became nervous
There's a whole lot of sentiment
wasted over the slaughter of sons birds
for millinery purposes" continued the
Colonel. very few song birds or an,
other kind are killed. They are NO;
wanted. Nature could not supply birds
with such bills, and tails and colors as
these women want. It's the same thing
in flowers. Why, l know n woman who
insists on having the rose in her hat
dyed blue, because blue is more becom-
ing to her."
Apparently no one was listening to
him. but the Colonel knew the wcarer
OF the hat was not missing a word.
II like to see a pretty hat" he went
on, "but when I see an impossible bird
like that on one it loses all interest for
me. It's like seeing Il well-dressed man
wearing a ce!luloid collar, 1t looks
cheap"
The woman in front turned slightly
and glared at the Colonel. but he appar-
entity didn't see her, and continued Just
as the curtain was going down on the
first act:
You see.% natural birds are expensive.
They cost three times us much as these
inventions of the mil liners. made up of
rubber wire. glass and dyed goose feath-
ers. That hat is n beauty. and | should
say it cost a good price if it did not
have that artificial bird on it. Tha,
makes me suspect that it's all show and
probably cheap"
Then the Colonel went out to "see a
