War talk at5present is not confined to
the United States and Spain. At least
there are some very audible mutterings
about affairs in the far east on the part
of Russia, Japan and England. Also
France and Germany have their ears
pricked up, and seem to be far from un-
ready for interference should the Chi
nese question enter upon more acute
phase
China has yielded to Russia's demands.
There are at present a good many for
ei9n warships in and near Chinese wa
ters, and these. might become peace
disturbers in the event of any sudden
hostile act on the part of Russia or
Japan.
Japan is steadily increasing her for
midable navy, and Russia is moving in
the same direction, and is getting out
her reserve troops.
If the present century shall close with
out war in which any one of the great
civilized nations Of the world is con
cerned it will be a cause for rejoicing and
thanksgiving. In these days of fearful
engines of death and destruction ma
ton which enters upon hostilities with
another without high and patriotic rea-
sons, is criminaly traitorous to the best
interests OF its people.

THE WORCESTER RECORDER
A New Weekly Paper Devoted to Interests
III of Catholic People,

THE Worcester Recorder is the latest
conner into the field of local Journalism.
The objects and mission Of this appar-
entity lusty youngster are well stated in
the sub-heading which reads, Devoted
to the interests of the Catholic people
of central Massachusetts"
The Recorder is an eight-page paper,
of neat typographical appearance, and
full of things that are sure to interest
the large constituency for which it is
published. Two pages are devoted to
local news items, while a third page is
given over to fresh news from the
mother country-Ireland. The rest of
the paper is filed with very readable
articles, intermingled with good many
advertisements of Worcester firms
The editor of the new paper is Joshua
O'Leary, who is no stranger in local
newspaper circles. In his editorial an
nouncement, he says: '"The pleasant
duty remains to this Catholic journal of
recording from week to week the events
and happenings of special interest to our
people, and of cordially cooperating
with our fellow-citizens of all denomina-
tions in promoting the general welfare
and contributing, so far as in us lies, to
the general prosperity of our section"

AN ARMY WEDDING.
Two saIvatonists to Be Married Publicly
in Association Hall.

William s. Ryan and Sarah Mars, two
prominent members of the Salvation
Army in this city, are to be married
April 6. This is the first wedding in
the ranks of the Salvationists in this
city for some time past, and the local
post is preparing to celebrate the occa-
sion with imposing ceremony.
The wedding will take place in Asso-
citation Hall, and the friends of the
couple are preparing for an enthusiastic
demonstration. Tickets have been
printed, and, from present indications,
a good-sized audience aside from the
members of the army, will be in attend
ance.
Some 70 members of the local corps
have signified their intention of going
to Boston during the visit of Gen. Will
liam Booth to that city, which takes
place from April to 10 inclusive. Spe-
cial rates have been made over the DIFF
ferent railroads, and every inducement
held out to the members of the army to
attend the meetings and greet the foun-
der of the Army.
On the evening Of the first day,
Thursday, the general will be welcomed
at the Boston and Albany Railroad sta
tion by leaders in the Army and citizens,
including Mayor Quincy. On Friday
evening there viii be a mass meeting in
fremont Temple, at which Gov. Wolcott
will preside, and Gen. Booth will de-
liver a lecture on "The social and spir-
itual work Of the Salvation Army" The
list of vice presidents includes Bishop
Lawrence, Bishop Mallalieu, Robert
Treat Payne, w. e. Barrett, Rev. DR..
Edward Everett Hale, Rev. Dr. Scott
Hersey, Rev. DR.. James Boyd Brady,
Rabbi Charles Fleischer, John Willis
Baer and clergymen of number of de-
nominations and others. The general
will address the students of Harvard at
Sanders Theatre on Saturday Sunday
Is his 69th birthday, and will be cele-
brated by three Army mass meetings
in the Mechanics building.

A dainty French dress is Of silk warp
barege in a shadowy fiowered pattern
of wistaria and turquoise blue harmo-
niously blended. This is also an at
tractive design for grenadine or for Or
candle or other thin cotton gowns. The
skirt, which is the latest seven-gored
model, three and three-quarter yards
wide at the foot, is plain at the front
and sides. with the fullness shirred into
tiny space at the back. 1t is trimmed
with two circular flounces placed
straight across the back breadths, and
diminishing in width at the front, where
they round up towards the waist, meet
ing at the belt.
The waist is made with a double yoke,
the upper one extending slightly over
the shoulders to broaden the effect above
the close sleeves. which are laid in two
high folds that hardly suggest a puff,
but prevent them from being quite plain.
Below the yoke centre box-pleat, with
single pleats meeting it on either side,
forms the lower front of the waist.
Yol1es of the same form cover the up

Those who have faith in the justice of
NJ. Emile zolas cause will be glad to
learn that the novelist is to have a new
trial in Paris by the court of appeals.
This will go far to prove that there has
not been any desire to persecute Zola
personally on the part of the French
government t1sdespitez- the formers ag-
gressive action apropos Of a matter all
ready settled, which apparently induced
legal persecution. 1t will also demon
strate whether the novelist has the right
to be called a martyr to his convictions,
which the mass of his countrymen seem
to doubt.

One of the things which congress
should do as soon as possible is to pass
a bill for the census of 1900, but, from
the present outlook, such action is not
likely to be taken until the short ses-
sion beginning next December. Con-
gress will not accomplish much beyond
Spanish Cuban legislation during the
present sitting. Meanwhile not only are
census plans under consideration, but
the idea. of permanent census bureau
is receiving some attention. A sugges-
ton which appears very sensible in this
connection is that such a bureau be
made a part Of the proposed new de-
parhnent of commerce.
A permanent bureau would obviously
expedite work which is now undertaken
every ten years vita unavoidable haste,
and would also improve it. That it
should be included in the same depart
ment as the bureau of statistics of the
treasury and the department of labor,
whose lines of work are similar, seem
proper
Whatever is done, however, the work
ers on the next census will net be select
ed according to the civil service meth
DDS 1t seems to be a Widespread inn
preston in congress that this large force
OF. temporary government employees
should remain outside the classified SER
vice. Yet for a permanent bureau the
present system would seem to be ill
adapted where trained statisticians are
needed.
The census of 1900 will not affect the
congressional districts and the electoral
vote until 1902 and 1904 respectively;
and then it is believed that congress
will repeat the 1890 plan of increasing
slightly the number of representative
districts rather than of keeping them
fixed at the present number. That is to
say, there will be no dimiaution OF rep
resentatives from the growing
states in order to add to those of the
rapidly growing ones at the expense of
the former; hut district unit based on
the population of the state showing the
least increase since 1890 would be applied

The opening Saturday in Caracas, the
capital of Venezuela, of the first sample
warehouse for United States goods es-
tablished in a foreign country, was an
event which deserves to be carefully
noted. We hope and believe that this is
the entering wedge for the dissemination
of American products and American
goods in South America. European
traders have too long enjoyed a pre-
eminence in this important continent,
and it was high time that our merchants
and manufacturers should wake up to
their needs and opportunities,
South America together with the re-
gions of our own continent not included
within the limits of the United States,
are the natural fields for the exercise of
our trading enterprise. In the future
still more than in the past will this be
so in the commercial rivalry Of the lead
ing nations.

1t is to be hoped that when once the
Girls Club gets fairly on its feet it will
not lack for cooperation and support.
To those not familiar with social condi-
tions as they prevail in the mills and
work-rooms of the city, it may not ap-
pear that there is amy special call for a
new organization of this sort in the
city, but expert testimony is to the eff
feet that there is need Of just such a
club as the Girls Club hopes to be-
come, among the working girls who have
their homes and work on the east side.
An attempt was made some years ago to
found a club for girls in Worcester, but
it failed, partly for lack of material.
The class of girls fer whose benefit 1t
was especially formed were found upon
closer acquaintance to belong to very
respectable families resident here, with
whom they boarded, and to enjoy the
same position In church work and So
cial enjoyments as cid some of the wom-
en- who set out to help them. Such girls
naturally found ample amusement and
protection in their homes.
That was some years ago. Since then
Worcester has changed and grown. Like
a good many other cities that could be
named, it has grown at the bottom in
stead of the top, the increase of plants
having served to people certain quarters
of the city largely with foreigners and
their American-born children. The
young girls from these households, in a
great many cases. add to the family in
come by working in shops and factories,
but many of the girls SO employed are
attracted hither by the opportunity for
work, and constitute a detached portion
of the community. These girls board or
else hire a room and take their meals
''out," and in most cases have the poor

A TRAVELLING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Care OF the Health While Travelling.

MIR. r. w. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose
business keeps him almost constantly
on the road. relates in the Sunday
News the dangers to health resulting
from constant change of residence and
the way he oVercame the usual in
furious effects.
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very we'll avoid is the constant
change in water and food: the stomach
never has an opportunity to become ac-
customed to anything and i'll few
years or much sooner the average
travelling man becomes hopeless
dyspeptic.
For several years l suffered more or
less from Indigestion. sour stomachs.
headaches. distaste for food, often no
appetite, gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion.
Nearly every travelling man has his
favorite remedy for different troubles
and l tried all of them with Indifferent
results. Finally on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, l
overheard a conversation between two
ladies, one of whom had suffered
severely from Indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by a remedy
which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets: | remembered the conVerSa-
ton because it directly interested me;
and at the next town | inquired at the
first drug store and bought package
for so cents, and from that day TO this
| have never been without them They
are pleasant tasting tablets. not a
secret patent medicine but composed
of vegetable essences, pure pepsin fruit
salts and Golden Seal; being in tablet
form they never lose their good quail
tiles like n liquid medicine would, but
are always fresh and ready for use.
| carry a box in my pocket continual
", and whenever | see any symptoms
of indigestion | take one. also one after
each meal, and for a year and half |
have not lost n day by reason of poor
health, and can eat anything and relish
what | eat; my digestion is absolutely
perfect as far as | can judge from my
feelings and although there may be
other stomach medicines just as good
as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets | do not
know what they are. Certainly for
people who travel they are far ahead
of any liquid medicine, as they are so
convenient they can be carried in the
pocket and usedowhenevor needed.
I believe they are sold by all drug
gists at so cents. and believe anyone
who will try them will agree with me
| that for indigestion and stomach trouble
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are UNI
| equaled.
