There is rage on Beacon hill. Hun
dreds of children-4S3 children, if we
must be exact--have been sent home to
their parents to be treated for pedicu-
losis. Where else but in Boston, and
more particularly on Beacon hill, could
parents be found blessed with culture
so broad as to include a knowledge of
the disease indicated? But why in Bos-
ton, of all places, should parents be in
dignant when their offspring are sent
home by the school physicians because
they have something in their heads?
Yet these Boston parents loudly resent
ed the accusation, and got other ply
sicians to certify that the children were
absolutely free from all taint of pedic-
culosis, phthiriasis, or morbus pedicu-
losus-these Bostonians had all the
medical terms at the tongues end-and
they refused to be convinced. The ply
sicians who for three years have been
making periodic examinations of the
school children as precaution against
epidemic diseases, gave the parents ocu-
lar proof that there were some things
in the little ones heads, and since then
there has been brisk demand for fine
tooth combs and crude petroleum all
over the Beacon hill district, For the
benefit of those unfortunates who may
not know Boston, it should be said that
these schools are attended by children
Of very wen-to-do families. Beacon hill
is not synonymous or conterminous with
the North End where craps and pis-
tolls and stilettos are the popular means
of Sunday amusement.

The tenth annual dinner of that en-
terprising and optimistic organization
known as the Young Mems Democratic
Club was conspicuous chiefly for the
absence of leaders and speakers of
prominence For one reason or another,
Gen. Collins, Hon. John E. Russell, Con-
gressman Fitzgerald, ex-Mayor Mat
thews and Hon. Charles S. Hamlin
found it inconvenient to attend the Bos-
ton banquet. Even if they had out
grown their taste for fireworks, it does
not appear that their sensibllities would
aroused by anything that occurred
around the festive board. OF course it
is impossible to say what pyrotechnics
might have illumined the Revere House
had those eloquent gentlemen been pres
ent, and peGchance some of them were
not sorry to absent themselves from the
neighborhood of conceivable bombs and
powder kegs, into which any indiscreet
or careless person might toss a lighted
match or cigar. There were gold men
and silver men present, but the gold
bugs and Cleveland worshippers were in
large majority, as was shown by the
wild applause at the mention Of the
name of the Princeton sage and his
fight for sound money. Similar testi-
mony was borne by the enthusiastic
reception Of Mayor Quincy, whose
speech, by the way, was characterized
by characteristic and conciliatory ST.
lence as to the silver unpleasantness.
Judge John w. Coreoran was the en-
fant terrible, who seemed to yearn for
fireworks, and he touched off pin
wheel 1t was he who ventured the
opinion that there were even now prob
ably some young democrats in Massa-
chusetts, though they did not like to
say so boldly and be compelled to apol-
ogize for their company. 1t was he also
who pointed snap cracker at George
Fred Williams, with the remark that
the way to make the party succeed was
not to make it smaller. Harmony, fra
ternity and union was the text Of all
the speeches, but it was very clearly
pointed out that the other fellows were
the ones who were out of tune, and
the ones who would have to change
their key and do all the reforming. It is
to be suspected that the Dedham states
man does not hear or see things in ex-
actly that way.

has or not, cannot consent to have the
law of that church, as such, imposed on
Princeton University. The interests of
Princeton are intrusted to the sacred
keeping Of twenty-seven men. They and
their successors must make and admin
lister their own law, and I, while hold
my place as the head of your alma
mater, will do what in me lies to keep
the hand Of ecclesiasticism from resting
on Princeton University. . I shall
not indulge in harsh language, though
am tempted to be indignant when 1
think how good men have been mallgned
and pure motives have been impugned.
! wish to turn to good account the critic
isms that we have received, i'll advised
as many Of them have been. The friends
who give us advice do not know our diff
ficulties, and I cannot stop to explain
them. But one thing is sure, prohibition
will not stop drinking in Princeton; 1T
will only increase the trade in cork

OF course it was bound to come.
Camps of confederate veterans in the
south have begun to resolve that E.
Benjamin Andrews is the one man who
has "the keen perception to see the
truth and the courage to speak it,
Then there is more about "solid rock of
justice inspired by patriotism" great
American philosopher" wise coun-
sci tends to cement the bonds of re-
stored union" ETC., etc. AS "a tail to a
silver presidential kite, why should not
the president Of Brown sweep the solid
south? What a powerful tail and hind
legs he would make for the Bryan kan
garoo!
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-01-22

Whether 1t was intended for that pur-
pose or not. the Teller-Matthews reso-
luton for the payment Of government
bonds in silver is proving convenient
cudgel with which to confront republi-
can policies and club republican Off
cials whenever the opposition is dis
posed to indulge in that sport Hence
the silver democrats were able to mus
ter Al votes for the consideration of the
resolution in the senate as against a
negative vote Of 25. Quay Of Pennsyl-
vania thought the republican would
make capital out OF it. Others
who were opposed to Hawaiian
annexation voted to take up the
silver question, in order to shelve
the debate on Hawaii. Others voted
for the resolution, as it was explained,
in order to rebuke Secretary Gage, and
others were recorded in favor Of consid-
Grafton because they had been paired
on general party questions. Under the
circumstances, the significance Of the
silver vote is somewhat discounted,
though, as Senator Lodge remarks, the
issue has been so definitely Joined that
it may have to be fought to conclu-
sion, and the chances are that 1t will
be adopted. For that reason, it is reas-
suring to note that Senator Aldrich re-
iterates with much positiveness his as
sertion that the free silver senators are
now in a minority, and no free silver
bill can be passed. Mr.. Aldrich has the
reputation of seeing legislative facts as
they are and not as he hopes they will

wood held an interesting social gather
ing in their new school building for the
purpose Of expressing their appreciation
Of and thanks for 1t, and for the change
which has taken place in the condition
or school affairs in their suburb. The
invitations, which also contained the
program, were decorated on the front
cover with an excellent blue print of
the new building in question, and on the
back with view of the little country
school house which it replaced. The
whole is tied with pink ribbons, and
makes tasteful souvenir
The program opened with exercises by
the school children, after which Miss S.
Hays gave a piano solo and Miss e.

A cornet solo, with piano accompani-
ment by Mr. Solomon and Mr.. Prue,
was followed by a piano solo by Mrs.

criticism that he gave, and it was much
enjoyed by the other members of the
club, who joined freely in the general
discussion that followed.

The PEACE CONGRESS
WILL NOT FIND UNITED STATES
UNREPREsENTED
No Representatives Chosen but the
President Has Promised to Make
an Appointment

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Presdent Nc.
Kinley has not yet named representatives
of the United Staets to attend the confer.
ence projected by the czar for the purpose
of securing a general disarmament of the
great powers of the world. In the answer
returned by him, however. to the a,a:ior
extended by the Russian minister for for
eign affairs. which was trans mitted by Am
bassador Hitchcock, the president ex.
pressed his concurrence in the sentiments
set forth in the Russian note and prom
ised. If the conference is held, to have the
United States represented by some person
AS yet it rs not possible make selection,
for 1t remains for the Russian government
10 say whether or not 1t regards the re-
sponses made by the governments invited
TO participate as sufficient to warrant the
holding Of the conference.
1t is not believed at the state department
that THE sending Of such a delegate would
commit the United States government to
any certain line of policy beyond that
specifically set forth in the CALL namely to
engage 10 limit armament to certain pro-
portions. In that case our goverme 1t
would not even be called upon to make
any change in its establishment, for 1t Is
believed that what extra troops called for
ward by the war and still retained in the
military service. the quota that would be
permitted the United States would be far
in excess of the requirements, supposing
it is fixed in proportion to the least number
of soldiers that any of the great European
military powers would insis. upon retain
ing as absolutely ess entail for purely police
service.

THE BoTKIN CASE
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Postponed
Until Monday

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-The habcas
corpus proceedings in the Botkin case were
today postponed until next Monday. The
matter Of the exuradition will be heard on
Thursday of this week by Governor Budd,
who will hold the inquiry at the Palace
Hotel IN this city.
Two lively scenes were enacted In the
case today. The habeas corpus proceed
ings had been set for today. and as the
prisoner, Mrs. Botkin, accompanied by her
counsel, walked through the corr1dors,from
the cell to the courtroom, the two ladies
who believe they sold Mrs. Botkln the oox
of chocolates, fell in behind the procession
at the instigation Of the police, In an On
deavor to verify their Identification.
Suddenly the prisoner turned upon the
young women and made some sarcastic re-
marks about their methods OF earning
livelihood, and with metallic laugh once
more resumed the walk to the dock.
After the formal proceedings, the at
torneys for both sides agreed to the post
ponemeu. of the hearing until after the
Governor had heard the testimony IN the
matter of the extradition.
Before leaving the court, one OK MRS.
Rotkln's attorneys arose suddenly and,
In an angry voice, protested to the pres1o-
ing Judge against The attempt OF the police
10 have Mrs. Botkin identified outside Of
the court in regular session.
District-Attorney Hosmer interrupted
and for few minutes the argument was so
heated that Judge Cook was forced to order
the belligerents to cease their talk and
ordered the hearing of the habeas corpus
proceedings postponed until next Monday.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S-The Secretary
Of the Treasury has received the following
telegram from Captain Turtle, OF the reve-
nue. cutter Bear, at Neah Bay, WASH,
dated September 12th:
"Bear will reach Seattle 18th Inst. Re-
lief expedition and ninety-one shipwrecked
men on board. Rosario was crushed by ice
July 2nd; crew all saved. JEANNE. Fear

Natural Anxiety
SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 13.-The res
cued whalers, who arrived here today on
the revenue cutter Bear, are anxTously
waiting to hear whether the Pacific stream
Whaling Company wdll provide them with
transportation to San Francisco. The
whalers went north on '1ay," that Is
they were 10 get certain percentage Of
their catch, bu: as their vessels and catch
were lost, the company owes them nothing
and need furnish them transportation only
as courtesy. OF the vessels that were
frozen in last winter at Point Barrow, the
Fearless, Newport and Jennie. which got
out of the ice on July S. had no whales. The
Newport had been north fifty-four months
and sent ou. forty whales. The Jessie
Freeman had caught several whales when
she was wrecked. The Rosario had about
600 pounds of whalebone aboard when she
went down. The Orca, when wrecked,
had caught but four.
The fleet that left San Francisco In
March this year has done very we'll. The
Jeanette had two whales, the William Da-
Wis had five, and the Karluk Ave. Twenty
two whales had been captured at Cape
Smythe station. The vessels which went
into Lady Franklin bay July year ago,
have made the following catch: Grampus
one, Norwal two, Gulega 3 and Balena
five.
Scurvy made Its appearance in the i'm
prisoned fleet about two weeks before the
relief expedition arrived. The prompt
and energetic action OF DR.. Call. who ac-
companied :fhe expedition, prevented a
spread of the scourge.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-secretary
Long reached Washington today. having
come down from his New England summer
home to meet the Presidents wish that
there should be q full attendance at the
Ceoinet meeting. 1t is the Secretary's ex-
pec.ation. unless something unforeseen oc-
ours, to return almost Immediately to his
family. The purpose of the President IN
calling for full attendance at the Cabinet
meeting was to submit to the members in
struc,ions which will be given to the Ameri-
can Peace Commission. The time is very
limited in which TO properly charge the
Commissioners, for. as the members Will
sail from New York Saturday on the Cam
pania, they must leave Washington FRI
day, so that only two days are available
to close up their business in Washington.
After a session lasting nearly two and
half hours, the cabinet took a recess until
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon. The situation
at Manila was discussed at some lengcA,
but the principal purpose of the meeting
was the discussion OF the letter OF instruc-
lions to be given to the commission when
will meet in Paris to formulate treaty OF
peace with Spain. The letter of instruc-
tions will not be made public. but It Is un-
derstood that it is comprehensive DIN char
acter, and in addition to making plain the
general poicy OF the government on all i'm
portant points, 1t covers all the details that
can now be seen and provided for. 1t is as
sumed, however, that many questions are
likely to arise during the deliberations of
the joint commission upon which the Amer
lean members will require specific cable in
structions from the president.
The cabinet at Its second session con-
t.nued the discussion of the instructions 20
be given to the American members Of the
peace commission. Although the document
Is practically agreed upon as whole, the
matter will be left open until the meeting
hero OF the members Of the commission,
two days hence, when q final revision VIII
be made. It is the presidents wish, as ex-
pressed to the cabient members, that moth
Ing concerning the instructions be made
public. Indeed, so thoroughly did this un-
obtain among the members OF
the cabinet that Secretry Day authorized
the statement that so far from making
public anything in the nature Of the in
structions to be given the peace commits
sioners, the president and the cabinet had
decided positively to do all in their power
to prevent any publicity in the matter.

DELAWARE DEMOCRATS
Nominate Candidates and Demand q
War Investigation

DOVER, Del, Sept. 13.-The Democratic
state convention met here this afternoon
and selected the following ticket: Congress-
man, L. Irving Handy. renominated; state
treasurer, William M. Ross, renom!nated !;
state auditor, DR.. l.. A. II. Bishop.
The platform declares the devotion Of the
Democratic party of Delaware to all the
cardinal principles Of the Democratic faith
which have come down from Jefferson and
Jackson. The administration Of national
affairs under President Mckinley is de-
clared to be disappointing, and itds set forth
that prosperity has not returned. that
trusts, combines and monopoMes have
grown, and that no measures Of economy
have been introduced. Concerning the
money question, the platform says:
'"The necessity of reforming our currency
system Is admitted on all sides and con-
