NO INVESTIGATION.

Trustees of the Insane Hospital Refuse
Consideration to the Recent Suicide
Stories.
There was a meeting of the Worcester
Insane Hospital trustees yesterday after
noon, and in view of the stories that have
been circulated regarding the recent sui
eide of Miss Gertrude \. Creelman, an
attendant at the institution, it was
thought by those who have been instru-
mental in circulating these reports that
something in the nature of an investiga-
ton would follow.
In conversation with Spy man last
night DR.. Thomas Fl, Gage said there
would be no investigation as there was
nothing in connection with the recent af-
fair that required it. The young wom-
ans death was a sad happening but so
far as the trustees are concerned, they
are satisfied that the investigation of the
young woman's theft was conducted
properly by the hospital faculty.
1t has been stated that there would be a
meeting of the board of trustees Thurs
day but DR.. Gage says there will be no
special meeting.

FRANCO-AMERICAN.
A Paris Journal Hopes That an Under

A Paris Journal Hopes That an Under
standing Viii Soon be Reached.
Paris, Dec. 6.--The Journal des De-
bats welcomes President McKinley's
hope that Franco-American under
standing will shortly be reached, "as
evidence Of the friendship which was
doubtless promoted by the important
role recently enacted by the French
ambassador at Washington
1t adds: mot a power interested in
the far east is disposed to deny Amer
lea the practical and reasonable de-
mands of President Mckinney"
The Temps thinks that after perus-
ing the message no one will be the
wiser in regard to what can he hoped
from the friendship of the United
States or feared from her enterprises.
AS regards Cuba, it may be re-
marked that the presidents declara-
ton is absolutely Identical with the
declaration of Great Britain when that
country entered Egypt, and where she
still remains"
The most interesting point of the
message, according to Journal des De-
bats is the fact that Great Britains
warm words of determination are not
loudly echoed in it.

a small pair, and will hold his, hand to
await the action of B, C D at AL The
advantages Of this innovation may not
seem obvious, but | have yet to see the
poker player who does not consider it
a big improvement on the cast-iron
system of adherence to jacks. In the
first place, it gives far more rapidly
and excitement, and excitement is what
your poker player yearns after. In the
next place, it gives a loser a far better
chance to get even. Everybody will be
coming in on short pairs-tens and I'M
der-and the chances of making strong
hands are greatly increased, because
Of the increased frequency of the draw.
This open on any-pair game is, think,
quite likely to gain the favor Of tbs
pasteboard-loving public, and crystalize
into permanent form. The conservative
element will kick against it, but viii
finally have to give way, just as it had
to concede the all-jacks system, which
was for long time fought bitterly By
devotees Of the ancient regime"

ANTE BELLUM POKER SUPPRESSED.
ED.

"Of late years the old-fashioned ante
bellum poker game has been almost en-
tirely superseded" remarked a western
man, the other day. "by the plan Of
playing all jack pots, in which, of
course, as a condition precedent to
j betting, some one member of the party
indulging must have pair of jacks or
better This, of course, made swifter
play, while at the same time it enabled
everybody to gauge to some extent the
strength of the hand held by the man
who opened the pack pot. But the la
test evolution of poker is now at hand,
and it consists in allowing pots to be
opened on any pair. That is to say.
If A has only a pair Of deuces, and is
willing to take the chances, he can be-
gin the betting. OF course, if he is very
| close to the dealer, he will pass on such

1t is possible that the body of the
man reported in the press dispatches as
apparently 45 years old, is William L..
Chase of Worcester. That is in the
vicinity of Mr. Chase's age, and the
further description tallies fairly well
with the unfortunate Worcester man.
Nothing is said, however, about the
clothing, and until something in this
line is learned, or until the body is
viewed by either relatives or friends,
1t is impossible to state anything posi-
tive about the Identification.

Monomoy at the south, with one ex-
ception, has recovered one or more

Fully three quarters of the bodies re-
covered have been at the Orleans, Old

The American Revolution.

Elizabeth, as far as she dared, was
adespot, and Philip II was despot,
but there we're already manifest in
her subjects, while there were not
in his, will and power not mere
ly to resist oppression, but to organ
ize freedom. This will and this pow
er, after gaining many partial vic
tories by the way, eliminated once
for all in the American Revolution.
Great Britain has never forgot the
lesson then taught, for it was one
she herself had been teaching for
centuries, and her people and states
men we're therefore easy learners.
A century and quarter has passed
since that warning was given, not
to Great Britain only, but to the
world, and we today see, in the con-
trasted colonial systems of the two
states, the results on the one hand
of political aptitude. on the other of
political obtuseness and backward
ness, which cannot struggle from
the past into the present. until the
present in turn has become the past

Tho GIart Cactus.

Of all strange plants the sahuaro,
or giant cactus, on account of its
great size and striking aspect, is the
most impressive. We can we'll inn
agine the feeling of the early ex-
plorers when they first came in
sight Of these towering plants, SC
abundant on the foothills contiguous
to Salt river valley and from where
they extend southwark far into Mex
leo. The finest and largest speci-
mems that I have ever observed are
growing only afew miles from Tue
son, on the foothills of the Santa
Catalina mountains, where hundreds
may be eeen growing on single
acre, many extending their huge
green columns to the height of SO
feet. The many ribs which parallel
the columns are surmounted by
punches of heavy spines. With great
age the spines fall away from the
lower portion of the plant, leaving
the broad, obtuse ribs devoid of their
natural protector. This fact led the
first observers to report the plant
spineless.-J. w. Tourney in Popular
Science Monthly.

Pride Before a Fall.

Just before a recent dinner given
in honor of a colonial magnate a
young swell, whose chief claim to
distinction seemed to be the height
Of his collar and an eyeglass, ad-
dressing a stranger, said:

to that fellah over there; took him
for gentleman, and found he had
a ribbon on his coat. Some bloom
ing head waiter, I suppose"
"Oh, no" replied the other;
"that's Blank, the guest of the even

"Dash it all, now, is itG" said the
astonished swell. "Look here, old
fellowl AS you know everybody,

dinner and telling who every one

"Should like to very much, re-
piled the other man, "but you see I
cannot. I'm the blooming head

Eat All Cold Food Slowly.

Digestion will not begin till the
temperature of the food has been
raised by the heat of the stomach to
90 degrees; hence the more heat
that can be impaired to it by slow
mastication the better. The precipi-
tation of a large quantity of cold in
the stomach by fast eating may, and
eften does, cause discomfort and in
digestion, and every occasion of this
kind results in a measurable injury
to the digestive functions. Persons
of low vitality and delicate health
should eat their food warm. Strong
persons who are full of warmth and
blood can safely eat cold food if it is
eaten slowly and is thoroughly

A Spy In a Royal Court.

"Marie Antoinette as Dauphine"
is the title of an article in The Cen
tury by Miss Anna l. Bicknell. 1t
contains much new material drawn
from the state papers in Vienna.
Miss Bioknell says: Maria Theresa
had strong desire to give suitable
guidance to her daughter. She con-
sequently arranged with the Ger
man ambassador, Comte de Mercy
Argenteau, secret correspondence,
by which she was to be told OF
everything concerning the young
dauphine Mercy kept a journal,
which was regularly sent to the en-
press, in which the most minute de-
tails of the daily life of the princess
were jotted down; every act, every
incautious word, was registered. Be-
ing in utter ignorance of this agree
ment, Marie Antoinette treated Mar-
cy with full confidence, often ex-
pressing astonishment at the infor-
nation possessed by the empress
concerning her, but never dreaming
that Mercy, whom she entirely
trusted, was, in fact, an accredited
spy through whom everything was
revealed.
There is, it must be owned, some
thing revolving in the part played
by Mercy. True, the revelations
were made only to her mother, but
she was empress OF Germany, and
while Marie Antoinette ought hence
forward to have been devoted to the
interests of France, the country over
which her husband was to reign, the
one idea of Maria Theresa was the
prosperity and welfare of her own
empire.
