Victim of Maine Explosion Was Never in
Worcester.

Since the battleship Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor the opinion has
been prevalent among the employees at
Millea's barber shop that Gustav ].
Dressler, a former employee of the shop,
was on board the Inflated ship.
Several of the men in the shop have
written to Key West in the endeavor to
find out if the Dressler in the hospital
there was the man who formerly worked
in this city. A postal card dictated by
the man who bears the same name as
the Worcester barber was received
Tuesday that read as follows:
Key West, March 9, 1898.
Mr.. G. E. Miller-Dear Sir: l am not
the same man that you referred to in
your last letter. I live and belong in
New York city and believe you have
made mistake. Yours respectfully,
G. j. DresSler,
Hospital, Key West, Fla
AT first Mr. Miller was inclined to be-
lieve that Dressler was trying to keep
the fact Of his identity away from his
Worcester friends, but, all things taken
into consideration. he is gradually COM
ing to the belief that the man is not
DOC" Dressler after all.

INSURANCE FIRM FINED.
Local Men Cut the Regular Rate and
Pay for It.

A sensational rumor, dealing with
local insurance firm, was current on the
streets Tuesday, and wherever recited,
caused considerable surprise. The ru-
NOR was to the effect that one OF the
best known insurance agencies in the
city was charged with writing an insur-
ance policy under the tariff rate. The
charge was made by another we'll
known insurance firm, and was investi-
gated by a committee from the New
England Insurance Exchange Of Boston,
This committee found the charge well
grounded and recommended the levying
of a fine on the offender. At a meet
ing Of the Worcester Board of under
writer's Tuesday morning, the report Of
the committee was submitted, and the
recommendation was adopted. A fine
o. 500 was levied on the offending
firm
The story, although a rumor is well
founded, but none OF the members Of
the Board of Underwriters would talk
on the matter Tuesday, on account of
professional courtesy. Because the story
was not verified, the names of the inter
ested firms are not published.

of many drawings which have made Glib
son famous. The genuine American girl,
which has won admiration in all countries,
was also as much in evidence in the audi
ence as on the stage. Nine OF GIBSON
most famous pictures were taken, the
first being When love goes out t IS nard 4, 70
bring him back" the artists being Miss
Gertrude Todd, Henry Il. Whitcomb and
Master Frederick Smith, who played the
part of Cupid. The costumes in this, as in
all the tableauX, were very effective and
have a remarkably true likeness of the
original pictures. The other pictures, with
the imperSonatorS, were as follows: "A
little story told by sleeve Miss ANNE
McCullagh, Fred r. Howe and Fred Gam
well; THAT delicious moment when you
find you are to take into dinner the gird
who yesterday refused you, Lawrence
Mrs. Paul Morgan, S. r. Haywood and

sions,'' Miss Kelley, Miss Todd with Mas
ter Smith as Cupid; "A puzzle-find the

baeman your daughter has captured in Eu-
rope" S. R. Haywood, Mrs. David Par
ker, Miss Kelley and Mr.. Gamwell; Their
presence of mind" Miss McCullagh, Mr..
Howe and Mr.. Gamwell.
The affair was in charge of Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Morgan. A poster sketched by. Sum
ner Kinsley, the artist, was used in the
tableaux, and was most effective in its rep
resentation of the American girl.

Them for the Association


The directors of the Y. NJ, C. A. have
come to the conclusion thai the stores
which are on the Pearl street side Of the
building do not pay, and the board has

which were set up should be taken, the
revenue will be much more than the
rent which has been charged. The other
store is now used as a storeroom by
the Duncan, Goodell Co.
The directors are on the lookout for a
successor for Secretary Abbott The
need of the association is for man who
will carry on the work as it should be-
and, If the right man is found, it is like
ly salary of $500 will be paid The
association is still heavily in debt, and
to devise means to reduce this will be
one of the duties of the new secretary.
