TOO BAD.
Gov. olcOtt
Unable to
ATTEND BANQUET,
But Other Prominent Men
will Be There.

Monday afternoon will be almost uni
versally observed as q half-holiday in
Worcester. Many places of business
win close their doors. The school chill
dren will be given a half holiday and
massed upon the common to view for
the last time the soldier boys Of the
second Massachusetts regiment as a
regiment Of United States volunteers.
The mayor, members of the city gov
eminent and the prominent guests who
will be present and speak at the ban
quet in the evening, will review the
parade at the city hall, and a platoon
from Battery B will fire a salute as the
soldiers pass in review
Post 10, G.. A r., and a mounted
platoon from Battery b will escort the
Cuban heroes over the line of march.
The executive committee met last
evening at the Board of Trade rooms
and practically completed the arrange
ments for the monster demonstration.
The committee voted to change the
route of parade. The soldiers VIII leave
the armory at o'clock sharp, and will
move over the following route: Down
Main street to Front street to Salem
square to Park street to Main, coun>
termarching to the armory ana dis
miss.
The change in the route was made
to allow of the massing of school chill
dren upon the common.
B Battery will fire the salute of q
guns at their own expense, the bat
terry having volunteered to do this for
the benefit of their felllow-soldisrs.
Two hours will be given the men to
rest at the armory before they are
called upon to march to Mechanics
Hall 10 p9rtakp of the DanOI16t
Colonel F. w. Wellington VIII be
as yet been named. They will wear tall
black hats, black clothes, high boots
or leggins and street gloves. The
staff will report at the armoTy not
later than $40 o'clock Monday after
noon.
The committee decided to admit la
dies to the banquet, but each person
must present a ticket at the door.
Banquet tickets are on sale at SO each.
Every So ticket purchased virtually
pays for two plates at the banquet
table, that of the holder of the ticket
and one invited soldier.
1t is expected that many ladies will
attend The committee is particularly
DESTROYS that they do so. No person
will be admitted to the banquet floor
without ticket.
1t is expect that fully 500 plates will
be laid. over 700 people have sat down
to table at Mechanics Hall in days
gone by, and the floor has not been al
all crowded.
One band and the Light Infantry Or
chestra will furnish music.

the following proclamation yesterday

But Lack Of Harmony From Lack of In
terest.
The Musical Association at the Tech,
which has been one of the livenest and
most successful Of the student organ
izations, seems to be doomed to a pre-
mature decease.
The interest this year seems to be
nil and in striking distinction to that
which was displayed in the work of
the association during the past two
seasons. No one seems TO be able to
spare the time that the carrying on of
a concert season requires and as yet
there has been no organization for the
year. With concert season already
beginning, it would be impossible now
to get the club into shape to give any
sort of a creditable concert. This is
more especially true from the fact that
the banjo club, which has been one of
the mainstays of the association in the
past, has disbanded, and it will be inn
possible to reorgafiize it, owing to the
fact that most Of its members are Sc
niors and unable to spare the time that
rehearsals require
Some time ago a committee was APP
pointed by the association to nominated
manager for the season This commit
tee has not as yet even met, aud it IS
not expected that they will report at
all to the association because it is
thought unnecessary to make any eff
fort to reorganize for the season, the
outlook for success is so poor. The
absence of the associations concerts
viii be q source of much regret to
the students, as well as to the friends
Of the institute for the association
during the last two seasons has heen
rendering music that compares very
favorably with the work of most OF
the other college glee clubs of this Sec.
ton.
No action to disband has as vet been
taken, but the association is likely to
come to standstill merely from lack
of interest to advance it.

LABOR NOTES.
The Boot and Shoe Men and the Bakers
Are Active.

The Bakers and Confectioners' Union
held meeting last evening, at Labor
headquarters, Ga Southbridge street.
There was large attendance of mem
bers, and several matters of interest to
the union were discussed. No business
of importance, however, was transact
ed. Several applications for membership
were received.
The Boot and Shoe Workers of cen
trail Massachusetts will meet at Labor
headquarters this afternoon at 80
o'clock. The members will discuss the
matter of forming a union, and as there
are many favorable impressions for
such thing, one is likely to be formed.
At today's meeting, J. Fl. Murray,
vice president of the State Federation
Of Labor, will preside.
Increased interest is manifest in the
welfare of the shoe workers, and the
meetings are proving a great benefit to
the men and women interested.

MURPHY UNCONSCIOUS,
Private of Emmett GUARDS Taken to City
Hospital in Serious Condition.

Private Edward Murphy Of C Com
pany, Ninth regiment, was taken to
the city hospital early yesterday morn
ing, in an unconscious condition, and
up to late hour his condition re-
NAMED unchanged.
Murphy served with his regiment
throughout the campaign. but since
coming home, has been sick. At times
his head has bothered him, until Fri
day night, when he sunk into an I'M
conscious condition. 1t was thought
best to remove him to the hospital,
where he is at the present time, al
though on account of his condition, it
has been impossible to form any def
mite diagnosis of. his case.

When 1t was almost off he descended to
be out of harms way, and the men at
the ground end of the rope gave a long
pull all together. There was a crack
ing sound and the upper third of the
pole wavered and started on a down.
ward course that would have wrecked
something if it had not been stopped in
It's incipiency by the OBTAINING rope.
The severed portion was quickly low
cred to the ground and its possibilities
for making trouble were over.
But the main part of the pole was
still in evidence. This, however, gave
as little trouble as the upper part of
the pole, and although the operation of
removing it looked harder than the
other, the man in charge of the work
remarked that it was really less dan
gerous than the first part of the task
Again the restraining rope was at
tached to the pole and this time the
cutting took place at the ground. A
couple of sturdy axemen sent the chops
lying in all directions for a few min
utes, and soon the remainder of the
pole was separated from the few feet
that, sunk into the ground, had sup
ported it for so many years. Before the
pole was quite cut through, a gang of
men had surrounded it, each armed
with pole perhaps ten feet in length
having a steel spur in the end. At the
moment when the pole was severed,
they thrust these spurs into the giant
pole which thus swung there like Ma
homets coffin, between heaven and
earth, but entirely under the control of
the worl0men.
A second rope was attached near the
base of the severed portion and as one
set OF men pulled on this rope, those
holding the one attached to the top
eased away and the great stick of tim
Der was brought to the ground with the
aid Of the men with poles as easily as
one might handle a walking cane
The stump of the pole was then dug
up from the ground and the cavity filled
up, and in scarcely an hour from the
time of beginning operations, the site
of the pole knew it no more and there
was blank where an old familiar COM
bination of landmark and eyesore had
stood.
This method of campaign was carried
out on all the poles that We're removed
that were Of sufficient size to warrant
1T. The pole at the corner of Front and
Main streets was one of the largest that
We're taken out and this owing to its To-
cation was one of the hardest jobs that
the men had to tackle In case the pole

OVER A MILLION A DAY.
The Numerous Demands That Are
Made ON Helen GouId's Purse
Through the Mails.

Ever since she was made mistress of
vast fortune Miss Helen Gould has,
like all other wealthy women, been the
daily recipient of large numbers of
begging letters. Her mail was in
creased enormously by the newspaper
announcement that she had offered
the government a large sum to aid in
prosecuting the war against Spain. In
one day recently she received GOT let
ters, most of them of the begging va
riety, the total sum asked by her cor
respondents being considerably more
than $1,000,0 600. The amounts ranged
all the way from $3.50 for seven tickets
to a church fair to 100000, which
cranky genius demanded so that he
might be able to build warship on
plans which he had perfected. Five
other inventors offered their patents
for a total of 1901 900 and 80 letter
writer's asked for loans aggregating
SIG, 796. A Klondike claim was offered
for $500 and an estate on the Hud-
son for 10000.
The day this wagon load of mail
was brought to Lyndhurst, her coun-
try home at Irvington, Miss Gould was
deep in the work of providing relief
for sick and wounded soldiers. A Wis
itor to Lyndhurst at that time says
that the interior of the place speaks
more eloquently than words of the in
tense interest which it's mistress takes
in the war relief works. The library
was no longer library. It was, to use
the words of Miss Gould's companion,
Sweat shop" The chairs and floors
were strewn with pajamas, the tables
with pads and pencils, boxes of neces-
saries for filing comfort bags, and
heaped up piles Of filed comfort bags
were on chairs and in corners. Book
cases lined the walls, it is true, and
books were scattered in orderly pro-
fusion on the tables, but they were
all that in any way indicated the orig
inal design Of the apartment in which
we stood. Two sewing machines oc-
cupied the place Of honor. One was
even in the ngroom-rather an
homogeneous ornament to the hand
some apartment. Everything bespoke
the absolute REIMBURSEMENT of any
thing which was in any way foreign
to the business on hand, that Of car
ing for the soldiers The brave men
who had gone to the front had found
a warm spot in the heart of the mis-
tress and everything she had was at
their disposal. Even the maids had
been called into service and they were
ali busy stitching paiamaz and COM
fort bags and making button holes,
sewing on buttons and tapes. Every
spare moment of their time. when not
engaged in household duties, which
my informant bewailed, were sadly

The great majority of Wisconsin
Republicans would be displeased to
have, Attorney General-elect Hicks
surrender the three positions in his
department to so-called La Toilette
workers, even though he feels under
obligations to this faction for his
nomination. And we do not believe
that so sagaclous a man as Mr.. Hicks
intends to take such foolish action
as to choose as his first assistant a
person who is not acceptable to
Governor Scofeld. Certainly neither
Mr.. Roe nor Mr.. Long would fill the
bill in this way, able lawyers though
they may be. On the other hand
the appointment of .. E. Buell., Of
Madison, would, we think, give gener
81 satisfaction. He is reputed to bt
an attorney of merit, and from what
little we know of him, we feel that h'
is a gentleman of even temperament

vention held here last September an(
