To DO HISTORIC WORK.
Society Of Anllqui y Committees Plan for
III. Future.

The committees in charge of the sew
Society of Antiquity met for conference
Friday evening and to make plans for
the future. The committee on photo
graphic work voted to give an exhibit
of photographs relating to Worcester
at the hall, some time late in the spring,
and the committee on museum voted to
publish portions of the records in the
museum, illustrating the Indian, colo
NAL and revolutionary times for the
benefit of the school teachers. The
committee ON ancient manuscripts voted
to offer its services to the city to take
away from the old city han such arti-
cles as may not be wanted in the new
building, but which are worth saving.
The committee on historic spots voted
TO mark the spot where John Adams
first taught school in this city, where
the >fiPst house of Worcester stood and
other historic places. The committee
willgalso urge on the city han commits
sion.the proper way, according to the
idea of the society, of marking the spot
where the declaration of independence
was first read in Massachusetts. The
society will not be satisfied with tab
let as is now suggested, but it wants
the spot on the step of the new city
hall where Isaiah Thomas stood,
marked with star. and in addition
to that, tablet on the riser, explain-
ing why the star was placed in the
step.
TAe-next meeting of the society will
be held next Tuesday evening to receive
the reports of the secretary and libra
ran, the nomination and election Of new
members, and to consider the motion to
change the night of the regular meet
ing
The prospects for the course of illus
trated lectures by Rev. DR.. Edward Ev-
erett Hale upon early colonial and rev
dictionary events as illustrated in ear
ly Boston history, are very bright as

insure the course has almost been Sc

MARY CLIFFoRp CASE.

MARY CLIFFORD CASE.
The selectmen have paid the water
commissioners the difference between
the cost of the Mary Clifford case and
the $1275 for hydrant rental during 1897,
amounting to about $500. As reported
a week ago, the water commissioners
and selectmen held a joint meeting to
discuss the differences between the
boards, and the water commissioners
refused to take town order which was
drawn for the amount The selectmen
wanted the commissioners to take the
balance of the hydrant rental and then
sue them for the rest OF the hydrant
rental, and the water board wanted to
be paid the $1275 and then have the
town sue them for the cost of the Mary
Clifford case. The selectmen were ad-
vised TO pay the sum in legal tender, by
their COUNSEL so that il the water COM
missioners should sue the town for the
remainder, and should lose their case,
the cost Of court would have to be paid
by the losers. Saturday morning, A.
r. Booth, clerk of the selectmen, drew
the money from the bank in greenbacks
and it was paid over to the commission
ers. This is not final settlement, but
if the water commissioners desire, they
can sue the town for the rest of the n.y.
drant rental.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH MINISTER

According to the last census returns
there are 5S3 Jewish congregations in
the United States Of these 301 worship
in church edifces specially built and ar
| ranged for that purpose, and 2S2 in
halls and rooms. 1t may safely be as
sumed that the greater number of those
occupying church edifices employ a
salalied minister; and it may with equal
safety be assumed that nearly all. if not
ALL of those not occupying edifices of
their own, but utilizing a rented hall or
room, baye not the services of a salaried
of1cIating clergyman. We come to the
conclusion, then, that about three hun
dred persons occupy pulpits in the syna-
gogues of the United States. In many
congregations they ordinarily conduct
the service and preach the sermon; in
others they have the assistance Of a
cantor, or reader, to conduct the SER
vice; in a few there are two ministers,
in addition to the cantor, or reader.
In ali the synagogues of the United
States, save one the service is conduct
ed on the seventh-day Sabbath In this
one the service is held on Sunday morn
ing.
OF the total number of ministers,
about fifty are graduates of the Hebrew
Union College located at Cincinnati
which is controlled by the reform ele-
ment, while there are three graduates
Of the Jewish Theological Seminary of
New York, which is under orthodox aus
pieces. These institutions are the only
American rabbinical schools. Before
1888, when the Hebrew Union College
sent out its first graduates, congrega-
tons were dependent chiefly upon mi
nisters educated abroad, and in most
instances, born abroad.
The graduates Of the Hebrew Union
College have, in nearly all cases, sup
planted the German speaking preachers.
It was not merely a question of Ian
guage that led the congregations to
throw aside their German speaking
spiritual heads. The demand was for
''men of the people," as well as scno-
lars. The old-school rabbis had been too
much students and not sufficiently
alive to what the people considered
necessary aduncts to the modern
church The Jewish people saw around
them the congregational activity of
their Christian neighbors. and felt that
they should have the assistance of their
ministers in doing likewise-Charles S.
Rernheimer, in Godey's Magazine for
February

HIS CONSCIENCE CLEAR.

| Delaney Wallingford hestated with
his hand upon the knob of the door to
tine private office. He was about to ask
Henry Faversham for the hand of his
beautiful daughter For moment THE
young man was inclined to procrasti-
nate, but he drew himself together at
| last and walked in.
The rich man received him kindly and
| asked him TO sit down. Before Wal
hngford had begun upon the subject
that was nearest his heart, however,
the voice of Mrs. FaYersham was heard
in the outer office, and her husband re-
quested his visitor to step into an adj
joining room until the lady had got
through with him.

only girl that Delaney WSlEngford had

One of her lady friends was waiting
for her outside in the carriage, so she
had to leave him long before she had
finished her remarks
When Mr. Faversham was alone
again, Delaney Wallingford returned
and sat down in front of the benevolent
looking old gentleman, vino asked him
to proceed with the business tn hand.

AN AMERICAN LAD FROM RUSSIA

AN AMERICAN LAD FROM RUSSIA.
This first settler can speak but a few
words of English, and his children use
it with difficulty but his grandchildren
talk the language of their adopted coun-
try as iuently as they do the Russo
German of their parents. They attend
schools where only English is taught,
and in which the law of North Dakota
compels them to gain a rudimentaly
education. They ride the unbroken
COW ponies of the range with the fear
lessness of young Indians, and cele-
brate the Fourth of July as though to
the manner born; but the acme of their
Americanlzation was reached in a thir-
teen-year-old lad whom | met in the
valley of the Knife river. Alone on the
prairie, miles remote from house. and
with no sign of human presence in a
wide range of vision, he was herding
sheep on a bicycle. He was a cheerful
little chap, and claimed that a wheel
gave much less trouble than a pony,
because it did not have to be watered,
and never ran away. 1t was also very
good to chase coyotes with when they
came sneaklng around his sheep, and
he believed that il he could only induce
one to stick to the road, he could run
it down.
yes. he was Russian, that is, he was
born in Russia. but he did not remem-
Der much about the place he came
from, and was forgetting what he did
remember as fast as he could.--Kirk
