LECTURE ON THE EYE.
Or, Edward swaseY Talks to Old South
Mems Union.

The Mems Union of Old South were
interested listeners, Thursday night, to
a lecture upon the eye, by Dr. Edward
Swasey, the eminent specialist, who for
over an hour gave an interestingly abb
sorbing talk upon his chosen field. The
speaker was introduced by President
Grey in a happy manner. The doctor i'm
mediately launched into his subject, and
with the aid of the blackboard made the
address instructive He said that the
eye might be compared to glass mar
BILE with it's different colored coats and
layers.
He described in a pleasing manner
without resorting to the specialists
terms, the sclerotic membrane and the
cornea, with the choroid membrane. The
retina, vitreous humor, crystalline lens
and equeous humor We're discussed, with
their specific uses and their abuses.
The doctor spoke interestingly of the
canal of Petit, and the wonderful power
of the optic nerve. Everything about
the eye was brought out in the doctors
talk. He felt that it was one of the most
wondrous of the examples of the ere
ator's divine art, and, in closing said:
"a beautiful eye makes silence eloquent;
kind eye makes contradiction an as
sent; an enraged eye makes beauty de-
formed. This little member gives life

Nearing Close.

The bowling tournament of the st.
Matthews Bowling Association is fast
drawing to a close, and with two more
matches Monday, between Coleys and
Cooper's teams, and Thursday between
Hoyle's and Weiss, the season will end,
with another championship victory for
Cooper's team, which was victorious over
all rivals in 1897
The struggle in the tournaments is for
position of honor ON a beautiful trophy
silver cup, which is in the possession of
the association. There are six faces on
which are inscribed the names of the
victorious teams year by year. Cooper S
team has twice seen it's name engraved
on the silver face, with the champion
ship of this year, Coley's once, and
three faces remain unchanged.
AT the match Thursday evening but
three of Hoyles team bowled, and to
complete the team score according to
the rules of the association, the average

WELDED HER "uMBERELL." !"
An Elderly Woman Makes Vigorous At
tack Upon Man.

The spectacle of an elderly woman
welding a time-honored umbrella over
a mans back, much as a schoolmaster
does the rattan over a refractory ur-
chin, drew small-sized crowd to the
corner of Main and Chandler streets
Thursday afternoon.
The woman looked all of rs years,
and the man about 40. The man stood
on the left-hand side of the street and
called to the woman on the other side.
The woman's only reply was to grasp
her umbrella with a determined grip
and start across the street. When she
arrived within striking distance, the
fun began, and continued until the wo-
man was out of breath and was obliged
to sit down on the curbing to recover.
The man had several cuts about his
head as result of the encounter, from
which the blood flowed freely. Both
seemed slightly dazed from the effects
Of the encounter but resumed their
way as though nothing had happened.

Under the terms of the convention the

MAY BE FAIR PRICE.
Agricultural Society Expects
Offer From Boston Parties.
Capitalists Who Flan to Turn Fair Grounds
Into Little Back Bay"
Section.

The committee of the Worcester Agrf-
cultural Society having in charge the
sale OF the grounds, expect to receive
another offer for the property in the
course of a week or ten DAYS. Several
bids have already been received by the
committee; none of which, however, was
considered by the committee 10 be a fair
price. The members of this committee
now feel that the expected offer will be
something like the value of the
grounds.
Thursday, civil engineers. employed
by party OF Boston capitalists who are
anxious to secure the property, We're in
this city to ascertain some minor points
regarding drainage, water, etc. They
brought with them a rough draft of the
plans for cutting up the property, which
the Boston men will pursue in case they
are able to secure the property at theil
figures.
These plans were shown to two ol
three members of the committee during
the day; and, while it is immaterial t
the society what becomes of the grounds
after purchase, they believe the plans
excellently adapted for existing condi.
tions. Were these carried into effect
Worcester would have a little residen.
tial section rivalling in beauty anything
to be found in the Back Bay IN Boston
The drawings of the engineers provide
for one broad avenue running north
and south between Cedar and Highland
streets. Two more avenues Will run al
right angles to the main avenue, there
by cutting up the present grounds int
six parallelograms. The most pleasing
feature of the plans and one that woult
certainly prove attractive to prospect
i've purchasers of these lots, is that q
broad grass plot would run through The
centre of each Of the avenues. These
highways would be further embellishet
by the very generous use of shade trees
Asphalt paving would be used in place
of granite blocks.
