TELLING SPAIN TO GO

Washington, April 16.-The Washing
ton'Post summary of the situation pub
lished in today's issue includes the fol-
lowing statement:
Immediately the president is empow-
cred to use the army and navy, he will
issue an ultimatum to Spain, giving her
"a hours-possibly 4S-within which to
answer whether she will peaceably with
draw her troops and flag from Cuba
Her refusal to evacuate the island
which is, of course, eXpected-will be
the signal for action on the part of this
government, and that action will be the
vigorous use of both our naval and
land forces.
The Post makes this statement upon
the highest possible authority, the
course of action indicated having been
decided upon at yesterdays cabinet
meeting. Should the resolutions reach
the president accompanied by the
amendment recognizing the republic of
Cuba, the president will sign them, but
in a brief message to congress he Will
hold that the constitutional preroga-
tive vested in the president to recognize
other governments cannot be taken
away, and that the amendment is
therefore void and imperative.

Cemetery Sneak Thieves.

Newark. April 16.-The family vault
of A. A Woodrow in the Methodist
Episcopal cemetery here has been
robbed of one body and the other cof-

corpse of Mrs. Finley is missing and it
is supposed to have been taken some
time ago.
The coffin containing the body of Mr..

ghouls found nothing of value. In
the grave were also the bodies of Mr..
Woodrow's children and both collins
had been wrecked. One of the children,
a little girl, when buried had on two

THINK IT OVER.
A Rational Remedy for q National
Trouble.

n Rational Remedy Tor O NaC1ona1
Trouble.
To say that hemorrhoids or the dis
ease commonly known as piles Is a ma
tional disease may be slightly over
drawn, but 1t is quite certain that at
least one in every four persons Is SO af-
dicted.
Because 1t Is common and not imme-
diately fatal many suffer for years
without giving the trouble medical at
tention.
Moreover, the rather general impress
sion that a surgical operation is the on
attention until the disease becomes
deep seated and chronic.
Sufferers from piles should know that
the Pyramid Pile Cure is better than a
surgical operation, it cures without pain,
1t causes no detention from business
and the cost is trifling, all druggists
selling it at so cents per package.
The astringent effect of the acids in
the Pyramid Pile Cure speedily con-
tracts and restores to their natural con-
dition the blood vessels of the affected
parts, and as it quickly dissolves in the
rectun, the remedy soothes and heals
the irritated surfaces and these two
things are the only necessary require
znents for cure.
The principal danger from piles is the
liability to chronic liberation of the rec
tai tissue and nervous exhaustion from
Irritation. All these symptoms the Pyr-
amid quickly relieves and the fact that
1t is the most popular and widely sold
of any pile cure is quite conclusive evil
dence of thorough merit-' If you suffer
from bleeding, itching or protruding
piles try a fifty cent package tonight.
Ask your druggist for Pyramid Pile
Cure.

There is wonderful medicine for troub-

test for thirty years, and has been used sue
cessfully by many thousands of women. 1t
is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t
acts directly on the delicate and important
organs concerned and makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous. It allays inhanma-
ton, heals liberation and soothes pain. 1t
tones and builds up the nerves. 1t is the
discovery of DR.. R. v. Pierce, an eminent
and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y
This is one of the greatest medical instltu-
lions in the whole world. During the thirty
years that DR.. Pierce has been at its head
he has gained the unbounded respect of
his fellow citizens at Buffalo, and they
showed it by making him their representa-
tive in the National Congress, from which
position he resigned to give the remainder
of his life to the practice of his chosen
profession. He will cheerfully answer, free
of charge, any letters written to him by
suffering women. Address, as above.

POOR PROSPECTS.
Citizens Movement Seems
Sure to Fall Flat.

ITO be or not to be?' is the question
confronting the citizens party just
at present, and just now it must be
confessed that it looks decidedly as if
it was a case of not to be.
The common expression of those
identified with the citizens movement,
when seen yesterday, was: IF T. c.
Bates would run, we might do some
thing, and when told that Mr. Bates
had positively declined to run, they
had no suggestions to offer as to way
out of the difficulty.
With Mr. Bates, Mr.. Searls and Mr..
Potter out of the range of possibilities,
the condition Of the citizens movement
is desperate, and, as predicted in The
Spy several days ago, it will not rise
to the dignity of party movement, if
it deVelopes at all.
The few men engineering the affair
were kept busy rushing around yester-
day in search of a candidate with whom
to head their ticket They were not
successful, however, and the field still
remains clear for Mayor Dodge and the
straight party leaders are losing nc
sleep over the outlook.
After Mr.. Bates third fat refusal Ia
have anything to do with the head of
the citizens ticket, as printed exclus-
lively in yesterdays Spy, the men in
charge of the ticket considered several
names, the one most prominently men,
toned being that of j. B. Shattuck
But here again, if they pin their faith
to Mr.. Shattuck, the citizens are
doomed to disappointment. When seen

BIG STORM.
May Be a Record Breaker
for November.

Boston, Nov. 27-Unless the north
east snow storm, which began in this
city about o'clock last night, and
which appears to be general throughout
the state and southern New England,
subsidies before morning, it seems like
ly that it will be a record breaker, at
least for November.
Beginning in this city at o'clock,
the storm rapidly assumed more than
ordinary proportions, and with heavy
snowfall and a stiff northerly breeze.
by 10 o'clock was rapidly approaching
the nature of a blizzard. Near the
coast the temperature was just above
freezing, so that the snow was damp
and sticky, but in the interior the
flakes We're finer and the snow drifted
badly. The heavy snowfall after IL
o'clock was apparently in the vicinity
of this city, and to the south and west.
as Maine points at that hour reported
little or no snow but it is likely that
the Pine Tree State will have a differ
ent story to tell by tomorrow night.
In this city, between 9 and 11.30
fully three inches of snow had fallen,
while Salem reported six inches, and
Brockton five inches. The snow was so
damp that it was not long after the
storm began that trouble was expert
enced with the telegraph and tele-
phone wires.

Flakes Played the Mischief
With Many People.

II was frighfully suggestive-a snow

republican caucus night at that; at
least so the citizens" thought. but
that storm was innocent enough in its
way. It was evident from the matter OF
fact way that the storm settled down
to its work that it hadn't any deal" to
pull through or any axe to grind, "
political or otherwise. It simply showed
for the fun Of it. and it succeeded be-
yond its fondest hopes. 1t had more
fun than goat; that storm did, pelt-
ing into the faces of old men and young
men, and men of middle age, old
women and young women and women

moustaches and raised the deuce with

dainty eyebrows and tricl1led down

slfted into cuffs; 1T laughed at collars

IN tears of joy inspiring to the spine
and aggravating to the soul of man. It
or1tted into shoes and soaked into
socks, it pelted into Waistcoats and
buckled into backs; it tore first this
way and then that; it came from up
and down, east and west. north and
south, every which way: in short that
storm was a corker. 1t was the first
real touch of winter and it didn't care
VINO knew it.
The fall Of snow began about SO
o'clock last evening, and a decided fan
in the temperature was noticeabla. At
nrst the fall was very light. but when
the temperature went still lower ana
the air became white with the small
fast falling fakes indicative of a big
storm, people began to realize that
winter had actually struck them. Then
when the wind took a more active part
in the game and hurled the falling
1lakes with singing force against face
and hands, the fact of winters arrival
was borne still closer home, and, hur-
rylng up their Saturday shopping. the
crowds got off the street as fast as
they could.
AT midnight the fall of snow had
reached depth of nearly three inches
ana showed no signs of abating. In
sheltered spot on Harrington corner

HEAVY FAILURE.
Assignment OF ColbLrn, Fuller & Co.. Shoe
Manufaet urers.


One of the heaviest failures in the
boot and shoe industry in the state for
some time, was announced yesterday.
when the well-known firm of Colburn,
Fuller & Co., which have had large
plant in Milford, made an assignment
to Benjamin M. Johnson of Boston. 1t
is estimated that the liabilities of the
firm amount to about 100000, and the
assets are nominally the same. The
reason for the assignment is announced
as being due to the stringency of the
times, the weak market N III" boot ana
shoe trade, aid lastly, the .nGuenee of
the strike at Milford Two years ago.
since which time the shops at that place
have been clnsed.
Colburn, Fuller & Co., in addition to
their shops in Milford, have conducted
large plant at Derry, N. H., where
they have employed large force. rising
into the hundreds. The firm has been
one of the best known and has done
large business. Since the strike at
Milford the shops at Derry have been
in operation and running good time.
The strike at Milford had depressing
effect upon the firms market, and as
result, as stated, the plant there has
been idle The assignment for the
benefit of the creditors was made at

Rev. Spencer y. Meeser pastor of the
First Baptist Church will hold a memo
rial service at the church at 10 o'clock

ter's clergy to take a decided stand for
humanity when the tension between the
United States and Spain was about TO
give away and it was his eloquence after
the Maine incident that fired the city with
enthusiasm, not for vengeance, but for
the sake of martyred people.

PROPORTIONS OF BLIZZARD
Fully Seven Inches of Snow Have Fallen
in New York City.

New York, Nov. 26.-The first severe
snow storm of the winter struck New
York and vicinity early this afternoon
and increased in violence until tonight
it had assumed almost the proportions
of a blizzard. Forty miles an hour is
the rate the wind has been tearing
through the city, and on the Long ISL
and coast it has reached velocity of
so miles an hour. At midnight the
snow has fallen to the depth of about
seven inches on the level, and in some
places it has been drifting as high as
five feet The temperature has gradu-
ally fallen until it is now 26 degrees.
All of the trolley lines running in the
suburbs have been forced to discontin-
ne service. and the surface lines in
Manhattan and Brooklyn boroughs
have Jared almost as badly, being
forced to abandon their schedules. Ship
ping is also threatened, many vessels
having put back to port for the storm
to pass.

He Carries the
Caucuses
WITHOUT TROUBLE.
Several Interesting Con
tests in Various Wards.

Aeolus, the god of winter, deferred
his promised visit long enough last
evening to allow the republican voters
of the city to assemble in caucus and
express their preference for candidates
for municipal office When they had
attended to their duty and sought to
reach their homes, however, a full
fedged blizzard greeted them. and to
several members of the city committee
it was much more than a figurative
frost.
The voters indicated by their choice
in the several wards last evening that
they deemed change in the makeup
of the city committee advisable One
member who was a candidate for the
common council was defeated by a
large majority, while several members
who We're candidates for reelection
were showed under ingloriously.
in all but one of the wards Mayor
Dodge received the unanimous endorse
ment OF the voters, in ward g. although
the delegates are unpledged, they are
known to favor the present mayor, and
Mayor Dodge will go into the municipal
convention with a solid delegation.
Suggestions emanating from the city
committee relative to .he conduct of
caucuses were thrown 70 the wind, such
as the method of expressing the choice
for alderman, and two precincts unit
ing in casting the vote. 1t was clear
ly shown that the voters when they
meet in caucus have a mind of their
own. are competent to conduct the af-
fairs of the caucus, and will not brook
interference from their agents-the city
committee. BY their choice of ward
committees last evening. they express
ed desire for a new deal, more than
two-thirds of those chosen being new
members.
The common council contests in
wards one and eight and that in six
We're warmly contested. In the former
ward it had been predicted that George
Alfred Busby, the popular cOlored man,
would be the choice of the caucus, but
it may fairly be said, as a result Of
last nights caucus that a colored man
stands a poor show to receive the suf-
frage of Worcester voters.
A single dark horse" candidate
George S. Clough, attempted TO STAN
pede the caucus in ward eight FOR the
school board, in opposition to Mrs Lin
coin, but met with defeat.
A careful scrutiny of the returns as
reported at headquarters last evening
revealed the fact that the total atten-
dance at all the cauCuses was only
about fifty short of that of a year
ago.
The Independent Republican Club
gained a signal victory in ward four
and may serve to show the power that
Independent organizations are exerCIs-
inS over the voters.
