an ornament to the city of Worcester
Mr.. Curtis had served on the commits
sion since April q, 1855, acting as SUI
perintendent and for many years chair
man of the board. The report in
cludes with a eulogy of Mr. Curtis. 1t
says:
Mr.. Curtis will always be held in
most grateful reverence for his great
iberality in erecting the beautiful and
costly chapel upon the grounds, and
he was always much pleased to know
that from year to year it had served
most convenient place for funeral
services over the remains of persons
brought to the city from out of town
to be buried among their kindred and
friends.
THE great monument to Mr.. Curtis
is his many deeds of kindness, his
pure and blameless life, his deeds of
charity, respected by all as faithful
man and a pure Christian. His memory
will always be kept green by his fell
low-citizens."

arraigned before Judge Utley yesterday
morning, charged with assaulting Ka-
lei Ghiz. After listening to both sides
of the story, the court ordered the de-
PENDANT discharged.
The story brought out during the case
is that of young people who love each
other and want to marry, but the inter-
ference of an older brother and broth

cation that is unpleasant, to say tho
least
The young woman in the case is Wa

old, although her brother says she is
barely u years old. Aldo is the hus

lover. Wadea's mother approves of
the match, but the young girls brother
and Aldo do not
According to the testimony of Ghiz.
Aldo told him that he must keep away
from the house where his sweethea rt
resides, emphasizing his remarks by
fiourishing a revolver in his face. He
used the same means in warning his
sister-in-law that she must see the
young man no more.
The girl was frightened by the some

A GGTDli|l Cure
For Constipation
Regulations AS TO Diet, Exercise,
ETC., as Prescribed BY One
of the Most Eminent
Physicians.

Constipation affects mostly those who
are dyspeptic or who sit too much OF
too long. 1t cannot be cured by medi-
cines alone. The following is the pre-
scription of a leading physician:
First-Take on rising a teaspoonful Of
Carlsbad sprudel Salt in a glass of water
as hot as you can sip it. Then take q
brisk walk out of doors, if you can; il
not, keep on your feet and move about
indoors. If the trouble is chronic and Sc
rious take another dose in from thirty tc
sixty minutes. Wait at least half an
hour before eating your breakfast.
Second-Never. sit down to read or work
after breakfast until nature has found
relief. But I haven't time" You will
have time if you rise an hour earlier than
before, and a cure is worth that.
Third-Use laxative food-use a grue1
of rolled oats and water, no milk; and
use honey with wheat griddle cakes OF
with bread. Never touch toast or milk
except in coffee. Don't eat blackberries
or cheese, and never drink tea for break
fast. Use coffee at breakfast if you can;
if not, hot water. Chew all food thor
oughly and never use liquid to helr
masticate it. Never use acids or soul
fruits, and fruit when cooked is much
easier digested than if uncooked.
Fourth - Why use Carlsbad .Sprudel
Salt? Because, first, there is no reaction
to follow it. You know what that means
II you have taken physics and found your
self worse off than before, the second day
afterwards; second, because the genuine
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt aids the stomach as
well as the bowels in their functions.
You can take the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt
less and less steadily as you improve; but
never be without a bottle handy. Be sure
to use only the genuine Carlsbad Salt
which is obtained from the celebrated
carlsbad Sprudel Water, and has the sig.
nature of Eisner & Mendelson Co, sole
agents. New York, on every bottle.

OVER THE LINES.
City Fathers Talk to Themselves Over
Police Signal System.

John r. Back c. A. Vaughan, Wesley
Merritt, George Hunt and ]. H. Meag-
her, of the committee on police of the
city government, visited the Waldo
street station house yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of looking over the
building and investigating certain
changes recommended by Chief of
Police brennan.
The principal change is the removal
of the toilet room which is located at
the northwest corner of the guard room
at the present time, to the rear of the
stable formerly occupied by the fire de-
partment. Other minor changes necessi-
tated by taking the new building were
also discussed.
Another thing the committee was
privileged to witness was the signal
system which has played such a CON
spicuous part in discussion of police
matters during the past year or two
Not only were they allowed to view the
switchboard, but they We're also allowed
to listen on some of the lines, which
proved to the city fathers that there is
certainly something wrong with the af-
fair, or at least that it is not satisfac-
tory,

M'CLURE'S SALARY.
His Friends Are Sure He Earns More
Than He Gets.

HdH TIC AelSs
More than one member. of the city
council began to think yesterday that
maybe it might not be amiss on the
part of the city council to change the
figures of the yearly salary of City
Engineer. F. A. Mcclure. Previous to
| the meeting of the city council there
was considerable talk on that point, but
on account of the pressure of grade
crossing matters the salary bill was
given little consideration. 1t has not
yet passed both branches so that friends
/ OF the city engineer have sufficient time
! to show the reason why his salary
should be increased.
1t would seem that City Engineer Nc
| Clure deserves an advance in salary if
any city official deserves one, and that
is particularly true at this time The
city council by its vote Monday even
( ing increased his work greatly and ne
will receive no compensation. The other
| engineers on the expert commission will
receive compensation for the work they
perform, but the city engineer receives
nothing for the extra work. Last year
his duties were greatly increased by
! the grade crossing commission and he
did not receive additiona! salary.
Perhaps it might be considered that
the city engineer is elected for that very
purpose, yet everybody familiar with
the work required from his office knows
he easily earns all the city pays him
without being called on for an enormous
amount of extra. work
The salaries of city engineers in cities
about the population of Worcester are
considerably higher than the amount
paid City Engineer Mcclure. The city
OF Worcester has required far more
work from the city engineer than any
city in the country except the largest
and in these there can be no COMPARE
son because the salary is many times
as great.
| No city the size of Worcester has had
as many vexatious and enormous en-
| gineering problems. The publication
plant separation system and grade
crossing questions are three unusually
/ large ones with which City Engineer
Mcclure has had to deal. The city
/ requires far more work than other
cities do and pays far less money pro-
/ portionately. 1t is hardly fair to burden
a man with at least one-third of the
work of a tremendous problem and pay
| the other men.

Parks Appointment

DEMOCRATS MAD.
South Worcester Nuisance
Can Be Remedied.

Democratic members of the city
council are incensed at the appoint
ment by City Treasurer Fred w. White
of Charles S. Park as deputy tax col
lector. No action was taken on the
nomination when it came before the
board of aldermen Monday evening,
Alderman Thomas j. Barrett object
ing, which necessitated laying it over
under the rules. Alderman Barrett
would not tell his reasons in full when
questioned regarding them yesterday
by The Spy man.
He said: Il objected because I ex-
pected Mr. White would appoint a
democrat" Further than that he
would not say, but almost everybody
who kept tabs IN the campaigning of
candidates for city hall Offices sus-
pected that some arrangement had
been made between the democrats and
supporters of Mr.. White. The latter
received the entire democratic strength
IN the election and was thus success
full.
Democrats said repeatedly after his
election that the next deputy collector
would be a democrat In brief. it was
another trade in which democrats were
interested in which the goods were not
delivered,

Under the direction of James c. Cof-

are that whatever Objectionable matter
IS turned into the stream any consi-
derable distance above the source ot
complaint, is so thoroughly dispersed
by the falls and dams that none of the
objectionable features are due TO thai
matter.
The cause of the trouble is undoubt.

If the findings reveal that there is
no other source of complaint, an easy
